Chapter 82: Demon Eye Lake

Weaving a net with rattan bark looks simple, but it's hard to do.

Looking at the skillful movements of the two girls, Ye Chen knew that they had made full preparations before coming over.

In this way, it seems that the winner of the competition of the three groups of guests is decided.

Zhang Chen and Xingkong continued to fish, and Zhang Guohua took Xingkong's buddies to the mountains to look for food, but also found them a lot of red potatoes (sweet potatoes), wild folded ear roots growing in patches, and two dwarf chestnut trees.

Ye Chen didn't know about these two chestnut trees, after all, there were more than 1,300 acres of barren mountains, and Ye Chen didn't often run into the mountains.

"Good mountains, good water, good scenery. There are many spikes in the shell of the chestnut, and the chestnut is peeled off, Zhang Guohua ate two raw chestnuts and looked at the mountains in the distance: "There are people over there?"

The high mountain pointed by Zhang Guohua is the main mountain range of the Mengchuan Mountains, which is high and steep, and is a barren primeval forest.

"The Mengshan Mountain Nature Reserve has not been developed. Ye Chen took a picture of his mobile phone, thought about it and continued: "There is a lake at the end of Qingshui Ditch, called Hongyan Lake. ”

"Hongyan?" Zhang Guohua touched his chin.

"Red face takes homonym red eyes. I heard my lord say that that lake had another name a long time ago, the Lake of Blood and Tears, the Lake of Demon Eyes. Ye Chen explained: "We in Qingshui Village didn't know how to live here, and half tea farmers and half hunters in the village were here. Demon Eye Lake is a very sacred place for the old people and there are many legends ......"

"Red lake?" Zhang Guohua asked curiously.

"The mountains and rivers are clear. The valley where the lake is located is made of red sandstone, and the shape of the lake is like an open eye, with light water at the edge and a slightly lighter color at the middle, and dark water in the middle. From the top of the mountain, the lake looks like a big open eye, also known as demon eyes and blood tears. There's something weird about that place......"

Demon Eye Lake is far away from Qingshui Village. Strictly speaking, it is not the birthplace of Qingshuigou......

Ye Chen has been there a few times, and he followed the master to the mountains to pick tea after an hour, and the master took him there to take the water of the Demon Eye Lake and boil fresh mountain tea.

The old man told Ye Chen a lot of legends about the Demon Eye Lake, but if he wanted Ye Chen to tell it himself, he really couldn't say it. At that time, he was still young, and Ye Chen vaguely remembered a particularly clear thing, he found several human skulls on the way to Demon Eye Lake.

was young and ignorant, Ye Chen also kicked the skull as a leather ball a few times, and was knocked chestnut by the master (the middle finger bone joint knocked on the head). Then Master Ye Chen knelt on the ground and begged the ancestor for forgiveness......

One thing is certain.

In the most remote villages of Qingshan Town, many elderly people go to the Demon Eye Lake every year to take water from the lake to boil camellia. As a devotional ritual......

The old people here are not Ye Chen's grandfather's generation, but their grandfather's father's generation, that is, their great-grandfather's generation. The youngest of this generation is over 90 years old and can't walk early.

There are many people who know about Demon Eye Lake, but there shouldn't be many who know the specific place. As far as Ye Xing and Fourth Uncle Ye Chen are concerned, they don't know where the Demon Eye Lake is.

It seems that going to Demon Eye Lake also requires 'identity', and it must be the 'boss' of the family.

Most of the most remote villages in Qingshan Town have migrated from the deep mountains, and there are mainly a few big surnames, such as Ye, Luo, Chen, Mu, and Zhou. These are the main primitive tea-making techniques in Qingshan Town......

These are also the ones who go to the Demon Eye Lake for 'pilgrimage'. As for its 'outsiders' wanting to go to Demon Eye Lake, that is not allowed. In the past, it was rumored that there was treasure around the Demon Eye Lake, and many people wanted to look for it, but they were stopped by several people, and even bloodshed occurred. This is something that Ye Chen has not yet done before he was born, and the fourth uncle should know the specific situation.

Ye Chen was preoccupied with thinking about things, Zhang Guohua shook his hand twice in front of him, and seeing that he didn't react, he patted him with his hand.

"I'm sorry, I'm thinking about it......"

At this time, Zhou Shuming, secretary of the Qingshan Town People's Government and Secretary of the Town Party Committee, was watching Ye Chen's live broadcast, and when he heard him mention Demon Eye Lake, he hurriedly got up and looked for Li Zhi.

He became the secretary of the town party committee and partnered with Li Zhi for seven years, and heard of Demon Eye Lake for the first time.

"Lao Li, have you heard of Demon Eye Lake?" Zhou Shuming also watched Ye Chen's live broadcast and asked.

"Where did you hear that?" Li Zhi frowned. There is a treasure in the Demon Eye Lake, Li Zhi is a teenager, and because of this incident, Li Zhi's father was slashed several times and almost didn't die.

This matter made a big fuss back then.

The current Mengshan City, which was still MS County at the time, sent troops over and wanted to enter the mountains, but the people of the old five families simply stopped them and didn't let them.

The old five families are Ye, Luo, Chen, Mu, Zhou, the five families, and the aborigines of Mengshan. It is said that they moved to Qingshan Town and still spoke a dialect with a unique accent. Even now, there are obvious differences between the old Wujia dialect and the Qingshan Town dialect......

"Ye Chen said in the live broadcast room, do you know that place, how is the scenery ......" Zhou Shuming helped his eyes: "The city has plans to develop tourism in Mengshan Reserve, if it is good, it can be reported to become a tourist attraction." ”

"It's a problem. I've only heard of Demon Eye Lake, but haven't been there. Li Zhi said what he knew.

"Are the old five families an ethnic minority?" Zhou Shuming was a little stunned.

"It's not ......" The old five families just live in the mountains, five big surnames, and live in relatively remote areas, that's all.

"Why are the five of them guarding the Demon Eye Lake? Besides, what era is it now, the previous conservative thinking should be gone......

Why the old five families are guarding the Demon Eye Lake, no one can say clearly, even the remaining centenarians of the five families only follow the traditions of their fathers.

In the afternoon, the weather became gloomy, and it looked like it was going to rain.

The little sister-in-law who was weaving the fishing net accelerated their movements, and rushed to weave the fishing net before the rainstorm came, which was about three meters long and five meters wide and weighed more than ten catties.

"Xiao Chen, come here. Ye Chen was holding a selfie stick and was about to go over to shoot his sister-in-law and them fishing, when Zhang Guohua stopped him.

Ye Chen handed over the mobile phone to Zhao Jiyang and came to Zhao Guohua.

"Some things in business, this show, I can only go here. ”

"It's okay...... By the way, the mayor's phone ......"

Ye Chen flipped out Li Zhi's phone, Zhang Guohua wrote it down, and smiled: "The car that picked me up has already gone outside the tea mountain." Also, help me train Zhang Chen well, that kid has never suffered hardship...... Everything is according to the rules of the show, and I will be ruthless. ”

Ye Chen smiled bitterly, and waited until Zhang Guohua's car came, and then Ye Chen rushed to the waterfall.

The rain in September came down as soon as it was said, first with raindrops the size of beans, followed by the same as a scoop.

Ye Chen rushed over, and the members of the film crew on the shore were drenched in soup. The waterfall is getting bigger and bigger......

"Hurry up. The ravine where the rainstorm fell was very dangerous, Ye Chen jumped down and dragged a few people up: "It's all dead." Wait until the next flash flood is coming......"

As soon as the words fell, the sound of the waterfall rumbling and rushing down a few dead wooden stakes......
