Chapter Twenty-Three: Killing the "Running Sheep" (1)
The fine babies in the mountains often go uphill and downhill, walking is really nothing to them, listening to Tian Limai's words, her sister Tian Liyu and Tian Yumei both nodded.
Starting from Shangsitai, halfway through a Tujia cottage and cupola Ping, Tian Limai took his sister Tian Liyu and Tian Yumei to walk the downhill mountain road near Nanmu Ferry, and then arrived at the Tujia cottage.
The cottage is called Chenxi Dazhai, where more than 200 families of Tujia mountain people live, Tian Limai said to his sister Tian Liyu and Tian Yumei: "Sister, sister, today I really want to pick up my grandparents and grandmothers, and I have to hurry, otherwise I will take the two of you to the cottage for a walk!"
"Brother, I've been there in the past, but I think there are more people in the cottage, especially the dogs fed by every family, it's too scary!" Sister Tian Liyu said.
"I've been there too, brother, there are indeed a lot of dogs in the village, they have dogs, outsiders really don't pay attention to being bitten by dogs when they go in, and the wall ditch made of stones in the village is deep and long, and I get lost when I walk!" Tian Qimei also said.
"Sister, sister, I tell you, we are mainly inconvenient here, that is, to Huolongping Town for a day can not go, if the traffic is convenient, this village has long been lively, this spring, our head teacher Wang Dechao teacher took our class to an ancient village called Longzhitan to play, the ancient village of Longzhitan wants me to say that there is not as big as this Chenxi Village, those houses that are repaired are not so much, and they are still some new houses, I feel that it is not fun at all, and it is not as good as the houses of those families on our four sets have characteristics!” Tian Limai said.
"Brother, why is the new house not as good as these old houses? I just want to live in the new house, the old house is not careful and there are centipede insects, last time my father killed a centipede insect in the water tank in our house!" Tian Yimei looked at Tian Limai with two eyes and said.
"Sister, you're right, living in a new house is definitely more comfortable than living in an old house, I don't understand, but those people in the city want to see the old house!" Tian Limai said what was in his heart.
The three brothers and sisters stood on the side of the road while talking and looked at the Chenxi Village, which was on the first floor of Houya Mountain, close to the Nanmu Ferry by the Chenxi River, and the Chenxi Village was also named after it. More than 200 Tujia stilted buildings are built according to the mountain, the slope of the mountain is not large, and some places are still one by one, maybe this Houya Mountain is this kind of structure, the large terrain has five, and each one, especially the first one, is also one by one!
Chenxi Dazhai not only houses are built in the style of Tujia pole railing stilted buildings, but also have good ecological protection, there are three towering ancient trees in the village, one is a cedar bud tree, there are five or six people holding hands at the bottom of the trunk to embrace the thick, the canopy shade area is one acre of land wide, the height is more than 100 meters, one is the Qingdang tree, the bottom of the trunk is four people holding hands and hugging the big, the canopy covers the tree area of two or three hundred square meters, and the other is a red bark tree, only slightly smaller than the Qingdang tree. These three ancient trees are in a triangular shape, set off the Chenxi Dazhai very quaint, in addition to the three ancient trees, other trees are also scattered, the houses are hidden one by one, and many of those trees are orange trees, peach trees, plum trees, peach trees and other fruit trees, almost every season there are fruit trees to eat!
No one in this cottage could have imagined that a few years later, one of the three fine babies standing on the edge of the cottage and watching changed the fate of Chenxi Dazhai!
"Brother, we can't delay time, grandparents' house is still far away?" Sister Tian Limai said.
"Okay, sister, let's go!" Tian Limai said.
Tian Limai continued to take his sister Tian Liyu and Tian Yimei to Panjiaxi, from Shangsitai to Chenxi Dazhai has walked nearly one-third of the way, if you walk for another hour, you will reach the cupola!
When Tian Limai's three brothers and sisters came to the cupola level, Tian Limai touched her leg and said to Tian Limai: "Brother, let's rest and rest, my foot hurts!"
"Okay, sister, let's rest for a while before leaving, I told you not to come, you want to come, you thought it was fun, but now your feet hurt, right?!Do you want my brother to carry you for a while!?" Tian Limai thought, after all, Tian Qimei is only nine years old, and she has walked so far and walked a little fast, so she is sure that she can't bear it!
"No, brother, I'll go by myself, let's just rest for a while!" Tian Qimei sat on a stone and rubbed her feet and stomach and said.
Cupola is a large scattered bay in the south of Houya Mountain, there is a small stream flowing down from the top of Houya Mountain in the bay, but the stream water is not small, there are water conservancy experts to measure, the flow of the stream reaches half a cubic meter per second, that water conservancy experts once built a 500 kilowatt installed power generation!
When the stream flows down from the top of Houya Mountain, it goes down vertically, because the front of Houya Mountain is a bright cliff, the vertical height of the cliff is about 800 meters, and there is no grass on the cliff, and it may be difficult for geckos to climb up!
The stream that flows vertically is like a waterfall rope, from a distance it looks like a white column, go closer to see, the place where the water falls is a deep pool on a stone wall, the deep pool seems to be eroded by the stream, the sound of the stream flowing down is like thunder, however, there are few people who can go to see closely, because, to get there, you must climb a cliff, and then climb over a cliff with a rope to get there, therefore, few people have been there, and the few people who go are people who go to find treasure!
It is said that before the liberation, a large family living in Chenxi Dazhai put the light of a stone cabinet "Yuan Da Lao Shell" into the deep pool. It is this legend that has attracted many explorers to go there to find the stone cabinet Mitsuyo, but to this day there is still no whereabouts of the stone cabinet Mitsuyo! Maybe it is really just a legend!
The place where Tian Limai and his sister Tian Liyu and Tian Yimei sat was the downstream of the stream, and the sound of the Lian Waterfall pillar upstream could be faintly heard, if no one spoke, it was really heard!
"Brother, I once heard that there are monsters in the deep pool at the base of the cliff in this skyscraper, I wonder if it's true?"
"Monsters, sister, someone really said that there are monsters in there?!" Before Tian Limai could answer Tian Liyu's words, Tian Yumei rushed to say.
"Sister, sister, monsters were originally made up by people, where can there be monsters?!" Tian Limai said.
"Sister, are you resting, let's go! If your feet still hurt, let my brother carry you for a while!" Sister Tian Liyu said to Sister Tian.
"Sister, I don't want my brother to carry it, let's sit down for a while before leaving!" Tian Qimei sat still and did not move.
Suddenly, a gust of mountain wind blew from the upper reaches of the stream, making the three brothers and sisters shiver, and the younger sister Tian Liyu said: "Sister, this gust of wind is a bit like a demon wind, maybe there are really monsters in that deep pool, let's get out of here quickly, don't disturb the monsters here, the monsters will suffer when they come, and none of our three brothers and sisters can spell!"
After all, Tian Yumei was only nine years old, and when she heard Tian Liyu say this, she immediately stood up and said, "Brother, sister, let's go!"
Tian Limai looked at her sister Tian Liyu and smiled and said, "Okay, sister, you go in the middle, and I go to the back!"
At about eleven o'clock in the afternoon, the three brothers Tian Limai, Tian Liyu, and Tian Yimei walked to the place where Panjiaxi's grandparents lived!
When I approached my grandparents' house, there were bursts of shouts and applause from the courtyard of my grandparents!
Some time ago, Tian Limai heard people talk about it at school, saying that the county's cultural department is sending plays to the countryside, especially in remote rural areas, and striving to let them watch a play before the year.
No, there should be music for acting, and if there is no music, at least there should be gongs and drums to beat it, but no, there is no music, there are no gongs and drums!
What is that doing? Juggling from outside? It doesn't seem to be!
The younger sister Tian Liyu and Tian Yimei listened to the sound in the courtyard in front of them, and they both turned around, and Tian Qimei asked first: "Brother, what are you doing?"
Sister Tian Liyu also asked: "Brother, what seems to be acting in the yard of my grandparents' house?!"
"Let's go, let's go and see!" Tian Limai did not answer Tian Liyu and Tian Yumei's questions, but said.
Tian Limai, his sister Tian Liyu, and Tian Yimei trotted into the courtyard of their grandparents and grandmothers, and when they were about to enter the courtyard, they were discovered by their grandfather who was standing by the courtyard!
"Grandson, granddaughter, why are you here? Come with me through the back door of the wing!" Grandpa said, and came over and took the hands of Tian Liyu and Tian Yimei!
Tian Limai's grandfather is called Yang Jingshi, and her grandmother is called Leng Yueyin, Tian Limai has two uncles, uncle Yang Baijun and uncle Yang Bairong. Uncle Yang Baijun and his aunt worked in agriculture and lived with their grandparents, and there was only one eldest brother in the uncle's family, who was admitted to the civil service after studying in college; Uncle Yang Bairong and his aunt went out to work in the early years to earn money, bought a house in the county, and now work in Shi Nanchun Liquor, and there is only one sister in the uncle's family, who is studying in college. Tian Limai's mother, Yang Meizhen, is the eldest.
My grandfather's house is a typical Tujia wooden building with stilts and railings, and it is a two-compartment house. The main room is four rows of three rooms, with corners on both sides, and the wing rooms stretch out of three rows and two rooms. My grandfather's house is very wide!
"Grandpa, there are so many people in your yard, what are you doing?"
"Grandpa, we want to go and see!" When Tian Qimei saw that Tian Liyu was called "grandpa", she also called grandpa!
