Chapter 13 Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers
Liye is located in the hinterland of Wuling Mountain in Hunan Province, where the four provinces and cities of Hunan, Hubei, Chongqing and Guizhou meet, and belongs to Longshan County, Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture in western Xiangxi.
Together with Wangcun, Pushi and Chadong, it is known as the four ancient towns of Xiangxi. "Liye" means to open up this land in the Tujia language, and as early as 6,000 years ago, Liye was inhabited by humans.
There are magical natural scenery and peculiar ethnic customs, but due to inconvenient transportation, its economy and culture have been relatively backward.
Until the Qing Dynasty Kangxi began to build streets and wharves, Yongzheng years set up Liye Pond, and gradually became a bazaar, once prosperous.
I asked Mu Xiu what to do next, and he said that he would find a place to put his luggage down first, because there were a lot of things that we didn't need, and we would pack light when we put down some equipment.
I asked a local peasant woman what Mu Xiu meant, and she told us that there were no hotels or inns in their village, only a guest house at the village committee.
Then we followed the path pointed out by the peasant woman and drove the car to the village committee brigade.
When we got to the village committee, we found the steward and discussed with him that we were going to stay in the guest house for a few days.
Because after all, it is a small village, and the guest house only has a few rooms, which is not enough for so many of us to have one room per person.
The steward told us that only three rooms were empty and asked us if we wanted them.
I thought it was impossible not to, this is the only place where I can stay, and I can't go out to eat and sleep out, right?
Then I said yes, and the steward led us in, and I found that the so-called guest house was actually a tiled house, although it was not too bad.
At this time, I was in a dilemma, how to divide three rooms for seven people? I've made a room for one person.
Then they discussed, the three older ones lived in one room, and Mu Xiu and Xiang Hanyu and He Yufeng shared a room, and after they were confirmed, they moved everything in.
They took all the tools and food they needed, and put the rest of the extra equipment, clothes, and daily necessities in the room, and then they had something to eat and set off.
I took out my tablet and turned on the GPS satellite positioning, and then compared it with the temporary hand-drawn map I had compiled before, I first found that this was the center of the north-south direction of Hunan on the map of the ancient tomb.
I couldn't help but run over curiously and asked Mu Xiu, "Could it be that the ancient tomb is here?" How do you know? ”
"This is not where we are going." Mu Xiu said lightly.
"What? Not a tomb? So what are you bringing us here for? Are you trying to trick us, boy? ”
When Xiang Anton heard Mu Xiu say this, he immediately became popular, and the rest of the people became displeased.
"Don't be angry, everyone, I believe that Mu Xiu asked us to come here, there must be some reason, let's listen to what he has to say first."
I don't want to get to the tomb before we get to the tomb, so let's start first, and if there is infighting now, what will we do when we go to the tomb?
Mu Xiu looked at me, and then said unhurriedly: "This is just the first stop, if any of you don't want to go, you can go back at any time." ”
With that, he turned and walked on, and I followed quickly, and the others stood in place for a while, and then followed.
I was convinced that it would not be wrong to follow Mu Xiu, and I didn't know why, but my intuition told me so.
We walked for almost two hours, climbed two hills, and when we stopped, I followed Mu Xiu's gaze and looked up, only to find that we were now at the bottom of the valley.
Above is a cliff with no end in sight, and when I look up, I find that the mountain walls are straight, like two city walls, and I am in the middle of the city wall.
Mu Xiu took out the pickaxe and rope, and after he tied the pickaxe at one end of the rope to a strong one, he stepped back a few times and twisted the pickaxe in his hand, and suddenly threw it up and firmly hooked the mountain wall.
After he pulled the rope a few times to make sure it was strong, he grabbed the rope and jumped up, his speed was extremely fast, his movements were extremely easy, and he climbed halfway up the mountain in a few strokes.
This series of things happened so fast that I didn't even know what was going on, and the whole person was stunned.
I found that the pickaxe that Mu Xiu threw up hung very high, at least dozens of meters, and the ends of the ropes were hanging in the air one meter above the ground.
"Come up!"
Just when I was stunned, Mu Xiu's voice suddenly sounded, and I came back to my senses and grabbed the rope, and then several of them held me up below.
Although I am in good shape, my skills are excellent, and I weigh only 88 pounds, this is the first time I have done such a thing as climbing ropes.
I was left to a few of them to hold me up underneath, and I couldn't go any further on the rope for a long time, and suddenly I felt so ashamed.
"Wrap your hands around and hold on to the rope."
Mu Xiu's voice sounded again, and I didn't think much about it, so I subconsciously wrapped my right hand around the rope a few times, and then grabbed the rope tightly with both hands.
Suddenly, I felt my body soar into the air, and a gravity from above pulled me upwards as fast as I could fly.
I didn't have time to scream, and the next moment I was wrapped around my waist with a hand, and my feet were firmly on the ground.
At this time, I was still in shock, so he asked lightly, "Are you okay?" ”
I shook my head dumbfoundedly, and he untied the rope from my hand and threw it down.
I feel scared when I think about it now, if I hadn't grabbed the rope and let go all of a sudden, I would have fallen to pieces.
I gently patted my chest to calm myself down, and next time I tried my best to climb up, I would never let him drag me up like this, it was too scary!
After a while, the people below also climbed up one after another, and then I realized that the place we were in now was a wide cave.
Looking up from below, there is no way to see that there will be a cave here, and how did he Mu Xiu know? I feel more and more that he is not simple, but the mystery in my heart is getting bigger and bigger.
After everyone came up, Mu Xiu pulled the rope up and put it away, and then our group followed him to the cave.
They didn't expect Mu Xiu to be so powerful, and they dragged me up at once, and they didn't even react at the time
And Mu Xiu actually found this cave in a place they didn't expect, presumably since then, they would admire Mu Xiu's ability, right?
We walked for about half an hour, but finally found that the end of the cave was actually a closed wall, and I was a little puzzled by what Mu Xiu had brought us here for.
"I said, young man, you see there's nothing here, why did you bring us here?" Xiang Anton looked at Mu Xiu puzzled.
