Chapter 6: Impressions of the Village

The world, or the Chinese Federation, attaches great importance to environmental protection. Therefore, Li Wei found that the sky above his head was always so blue, so clean, and so refreshing.

Inhaling a breath of fresh air rich in oxygen, the whole person feels refreshed, and the sleepiness caused by getting up early suddenly disappears, and the whole person becomes energetic.

The location of Lijiazhuang is excellent!

That senior didn't know what adventures he had, anyway, Li Wei knew that that guy must have inherited the technology of an alien civilization with highly developed technology.

For the ancients at that time, it was almost impossible to find this place on two legs, which was not realistic at all, and it was impossible to succeed. But for the senior who is rumored to be able to fly into the sky, it will be much easier to find this place.

It is a valley surrounded by mountains with dense vegetation, and this area can be forty or fifty square kilometers, and even from the air, it is difficult to see the houses below that are shaded by dense trees and flowers.

The village is not large, there are not many houses, and the only few flatlands with a small area are planted with a lot of crops. Rice, wheat, corn, fruit trees, vegetables, and a few salt wells make this isolated village almost self-sufficient.

A small river that zigzags two or three meters wide at its widest reaches flows through the middle of the village, and dozens of ducks and a group of their own children float on the water, feeding on the fat fish and shrimp in the water.

Occasionally, you can see a few beautiful and huge white geese rushing into the duck flock to snatch people's prey, which will always provoke a big battle with scattered feathers.

But the free-range chicks scattered along the river, very cheerfully, deftly rummaged in the grass for their favorite prey, and if there was no one around, even if someone came up to them, they could not be surprised to take away these greedy fellows.

Along the river all the way to the north, through a common fruit grove in the north, you can see a rather spectacular waterfall, which is divided into three parts from the halfway point of the mountain and falls into a large lake with an area of 1560 acres at the foot of the mountain.

The lake was covered with dense reeds on three sides, and only the side facing the village, the source of the river, was occupied by a lotus planted by the villagers. Because it is overgrown with reeds, it is difficult to see the whole picture of this large lake even when you look down from the sky, and everything is obscured.

At this time, although the outside world has already entered summer, due to many factors such as the special terrain here, whether it is reeds or lotuses, they have just stretched out their young leaves, and even flower bones have not yet appeared.

At the source of the creek is a simple pier made of rough logs, a multi-purpose pier in a T-shape, which crosses the river horizontally, and was originally a wooden bridge.

Later, after the wharf on the side was surrounded and occupied by lotus flowers, the villagers moved the wharf here, and linked it to a small wooden bridge, and added a pavilion on it for people to shelter from the wind and rain.

There are a few old men, and their favorite thing to do is to eat breakfast every day, and then run here with a homemade boom and Maza to fish, chat, and say what they wanted to do in the previous paragraph, to pass the leisurely time.

The waterfall that originates from the mountainside is not very high, the first part is only more than 10 meters high, but the second part is very gentle down the mountain, after more than 100 meters, to the third part of the waterfall.

After passing a cliff more than 30 meters high, it fell heavily into the water, stirring up bursts of waves and water sounds. However, because it is separated by a forest, it is still a little far from the village. Therefore, when I arrived in the village, I could hardly hear any sound, but it would not affect the rest of the villagers.

It is said that the spring with a large flow in the middle of the mountain was dug up overnight by the ancestor of the Li family. It has added a very interesting story and legend to this legendary ancestor.

The forests on all sides are excellently protected, and in fact, the people here live a very leisurely life. Because as long as there is really nothing lacking here, almost every year the wind and rain are smooth, and the crops in the field are bumper harvests every year, and it is really excellent to grow anything.

What's more, the surrounding mountains are rich in wild things! pheasants, hares, roe deer, wild boars, bears, tigers, leopards, wolves, etc., are a little overrun!

Green mountains and green waters, birds singing and flowers, small bridges and flowing water, bamboo forest scenery, because of its unique topography and some man-made transformation, here is like a real peach blossom source, the world exists.

Except for the village and a limited number of insiders, few people in the outside world know that there will be such a quiet, peaceful, beautiful hidden village on this planet. The unique presence and structure make the climate here more pleasant than outside the mountains. It can be said that the climate of this village is not at all like that of the north.

In winter, compared to the coldest time in the north outside the mountain, when the temperature is more than 20 degrees below zero or 30 degrees Celsius, it is rare to see ice here. Even if it was snowing all over the sky, it turned into water when it reached the ground, and there was no time to freeze.

In the summer, there is no scorching heat, because the green rate here is too high, and there are flowing water sources such as large lakes and small rivers, even on the hottest dog days, there is still a cool breeze.

Following the winding mountain road, Li Wei turned around and headed to the other side of the lake. With good eyes, he saw that not far away, there seemed to be someone fishing.

Probably disgusted that the people here were too noisy, the man chose a waterway that had been artificially cleaned out without any reeds, and sat in a rocking chair, squinting his eyes, holding a pocket radio in his arms, with a satisfied smile on his face, shaking and shaking, so comfortable.

In the village, the radio is almost the only way to learn about the outside world. Compared with unreliable TV signals, its signal quality is guaranteed. If you plug in cable TV in the future, it should be much better.

As for television, there is also one in the village, and there is more than one. Many people in the village have it at home, but they don't use it often. That is one of the benefits that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who came into the village has asked people to send in to the village.

There are many others, such as induction cookers, microwave ovens or something, as well as refrigerators, washing machines, electric kettles, electric heaters and other electrical equipment, all of which were sent in by the current emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Walking on the wooden bridge that has just been rested, the river under the bridge clearly goes straight to the bottom of the water, large and small fish, as well as those small river shrimp that are hunched and bouncing, and large and small crabs with teeth and claws can be seen everywhere.

From time to time, you can also see a water old man who can be regarded as a real talent and skill light power floating on the water, gliding at a very fast speed on the water surface, and disappearing into the depths of the sparkling lake in the distance in the blink of an eye.

However, no cunning prey can escape a shrewd hunter. No, as soon as a gray sparrowhawk retracted its wings, it swooped down from mid-air at a very fast speed, and at the surface of the water, the moment it caught its prey, its wings flapped violently, and in the blink of an eye, it roared upwards and disappeared into the distant sky.

A few mischievous squirrels had been jumping around on a few weeping willows by the lake, and were frightened by the sudden and ferocious attack of the sparrowhawk.

It took a while for the little ones to come to their senses, screaming and jumping deftly over the branches, and soon rushed into the denser depths of the forest.

But the big black and white magpies, as if no one was around, paced gracefully, and from time to time lowered their heads and pecked twice in the grass, not paying attention to the fierce sparrowhawk at all.

Small, just your small body, the old lady is on top of the two of you!

The dense bamboo forest, which is rare in the north and should be said to be the only one that grows naturally, is one of the biggest features of the village.

I don't know how the ancestor of the Li family did it at the beginning, and where did he transplant these bamboo varieties with excellent cold resistance and adapt to the climate and soil here, and they are bred here to breed a large sea of bamboo.

As far as the eye can see, from the edge of the village to the foot of the mountain, and then halfway up the mountain, it is densely packed. The thickness is different, the tall and short, fat and thin bamboo blows with a gust of wind, and suddenly the green waves chase after the waves, composing a different kind of bamboo sea song.

Every spring and winter, during the peak season of bamboo shoot harvesting, almost the whole family will go up the mountain to dig bamboo shoots, either eat them fresh or pickled them, and save the delicious taste so that they can eat it from time to time.

Next to the bamboo forest is a large orchard, which is some of the most common fruit trees in the north. Cherries, apricot trees, plums, peaches, date trees, apples, pears, persimmons, and more.

I picked a very eye-catching red peach hanging on the branch, which surpassed the largest peach Li Wei had ever seen. Raising his eyes, he walked a few steps to a stream that flowed down from a spring on the mountain, squatted down, and washed the peaches, Li Wei opened his mouth without hesitation.

"Click-"

Crispy enough, sweet enough, watery enough!

Now is not the time for peaches to ripen, and peaches from the outside world should have just begun to bear fruit at this time. This kind of breed in Li Wei's hand should be an early-maturing variety! It's just that the same variety can be about a month earlier than the outside world.

There are about forty or fifty peach trees in front of me, and standing outside the woods, even Li Wei, an authentic city person, can clearly see that there are about four or five varieties of these peaches.

Some are green and green, some are red with a pointed tip, some are red with a whole peach, and some are bigger than an adult's fist, but the skin is white!

Neighboring the peach grove are apple trees, but these apple trees have just lifted the corn kernel-sized fruit, the small fruit of almost the same color as the leaves, and it is easy to ignore them even if you stand next to them without looking closely.

However, the pine towers hanging on a few red pines are particularly eye-catching, and when he thinks of the deliciousness of pine nuts, Li Wei can't help but drool a little.

Trotting over, as soon as I stretched out my hand, I was ready to pick off all the pine towers that I could reach, and then go back and fry them in a big iron pot after a while, it was a peerless delicacy!

"Why?"

Li Wei's hands trembled, and a large pine tower longer than his palm fell to the grass and disappeared into the dense grass with a roll.

Nima is too unlucky, isn't it? When I first thought of this, I suddenly remembered that I was the newly elected village chief?

The village chief! That's the overlord of the village! I want to be the one who didn't pay for eating restaurants in the city back then! Ah, no, the fat translator was not the village chief at that time.

However, Li Wei also completely calmed down. As the village chief of such a closed mountain village, what kind of is to eat your peaches and pick a few pine towers?
