Chapter 181: Harun Arshan
Monkey San's scream quickly summoned everyone else, and seeing that Monkey San was still grinning and jumping there, Li Da understood that he was a little distressed: "San'er, what's the whole thing?" ”
Squeak squeak - the little monkey pointed at Li Xiaopang and screamed, and he couldn't say the bitterness in his heart: I just want to drink some water to quench my thirst, so I didn't ask you to take a hot bath for my puppet!
Li Xiaopang still has to find a rut: "Monkey San is not honest, he jumped into the puddle just now, and the water is relatively cold now——"
Cool? The monkey was angry, rushed to Li Xiaopang and yelled, and finally jumped on Li Xiaopang and rubbed it all over his clothes. Fortunately, the small grid was more fully prepared, took out a towel from the backpack, and wiped the hair of the monkey three. While wiping, the little monkey was still trembling with anger: too bullying - monkey!
There don't seem to be puddles around here, right? Uncle Biao's eyes don't rub sand, but they don't break it. Out of the sensitivity of hunters, he faintly felt some differences in Li Xiaopang's family.
After wiping the monkey three clean, Xiao Gezi held it in his arms again and warmed it up for a while, after all, the weather is cold, and it is easy to catch a cold.
"Why don't you come?" Li Xiaopang felt sorry for the little grid.
But when Monkey San saw him now, he was in a lawsuit, so he was willing to throw himself into his arms, hugging Xiao Gezi's neck and snuggling tightly in someone's arms, just like sticking to the bark of a tree.
The so-called bark refers to a kind of caterpillar that is an inch or two long, and its back is full of cilia, which looks terrible. The most domineering is that the abdomen has many short legs, which can be firmly sucked on the trunk of the tree, hence the name.
Seeing that Monkey San and Xiao Gezi fell in love with each other, Li Xiaopang was actually quite happy in his heart. In his mind, they will all be a family in the future, and Xiao Gezi is so good to Monkey San, this family will be harmonious in the future.
Everyone was a little tired from walking, so they simply rested in place. A few other people drank water and chattered, while Li Xiaopang lowered his head and closed his eyes to recuperate. In fact, his whole mind was immersed in the ground, and he wanted to figure out, what was the hot water just now?
Passing through the rock formations, more than ten meters underground, he felt the presence of groundwater. After feeling it carefully, he soon noticed the difference: the groundwater here gave him a more dry and hot feeling.
Hot spring! Suddenly, these two words popped up in Li Xiaopang's mind, and then he opened his eyes suddenly, jumped up, and stared at the ground excitedly.
"What are you doing, I'm startled and scared-" Li Daming next to him was startled by him, and then began to mumble in his mouth, thinking that Li Xiaopang was evil, so he hurriedly chattered with the mountain god, saying that the tree stump Li Xiaopang was sitting on just now is the throne of the mountain god, this stinky boy doesn't know how to understand the rules, don't blame Yunyun for the mountain god.
The older generation pays a lot of attention to entering the mountains, and the most important one is that you can't sit on the tree stump. And Li Xiaopang just thought that the stone was a stump, so he found a tree stump to sit on.
"Understand, uncle, I don't have anything!" Li Xiaopang was also made to cry and laugh by Li Daqing, who was nagging by the gods, and understood that his uncle was fine, but he was a little superstitious.
However, this kind of most simple awe of nature, Li Xiaopang still appreciates it a little. It is precisely because of this that people and nature have been able to live in harmony for thousands of years. It was not until modern times, when human ambitions and desires swelled rapidly, that they became unbalanced. Progress and backwardness, civilization and ignorance, sometimes it is really difficult to define.
After there was a hot spring down here, Li Xiaopang's mind about contracting Wuling Peak became even more active. You know, with the rise of tourism, hot springs have become a big killer to attract tourists, if you can really develop and utilize the hot spring resources here, then the black blind cooperatives can be regarded as having a truly attractive signboard.
Since Li Da understood that he and Uncle Biao were both old landlords, Li Xiaopang decided to listen to them. As soon as he talked about these anecdotes, Li Da's clear words box opened, and the corners of his mouth foamed at the corners of his mouth in the vernacular.
However, Li Xiaopang's harvest is still quite big, and he knew for the first time that the place of Wuling Peak was originally called "Harun Arshan". Like Duolunor, it is both Mongolian language, Harun means hot, and Arshan means holy water, so together it is hot holy water, which is actually the meaning of hot springs.
And so it was! Li Xiaopang knows that most of the folklore has apocryphal elements, but most of them involve the meaning of place names, and most of them will not be wrong, for example, on the side of Qixingbao, there must have been seven big water bubbles, and on the Hulunbuir side, there must have been many otters, because Hulun is an otter, and Bell is a male otter.
Li Daming also told a widely circulated folk tale, which is about a Mongolian prince who went hunting in the early years. Shot a sika deer, so he called one of his hunters to chase after him. After chasing and chasing, he chased to the side of Harun Arshan, and saw that the wounded sika deer had miraculously healed his wound after swimming through the big bubbles, and galloped away. The stunned hunter had no choice but to go back empty-handed.
The prince was furious, and thought that the hunter had hidden the sika deer, so he asked someone to break the hunter's legs. The hunter was very sad and crawled into the big bubble with tenacious perseverance. After soaking in, I found that the water in the bubble was actually very warm, and what was even more peculiar was that the broken leg was actually healed.
So the hunters told the poor brothers the news, and the common people went to the bubbles to heal their diseases, and this place became known as "Alun Arshan", that is, hot holy water.
As Li Da understood the eloquent explanation, Yaya and Xiao Gezi were stunned, and even the three monkeys sat honestly in Xiao Gezi's arms, listening with unblinking eyes.
Only Li Xiaopang is more anxious, he understands his uncle better, if he is energetic, he can tell you for a day. So he urged again and again: "Later, later-"
For this kind of disturbing behavior, storytellers and storytellers alike cast their eyes on it. has a thick skin, Li Xiaopang is just a strong hehe. Li Da understood that it was a long story short, and later, the greedy prince also heard about it, so he also came here to soak in the hot springs, and as a result, he naturally drowned here. And Harun Arshan is also completely depleted.
I knew that the end of the story was like this - Li Xiaopang pouted, which caused Xiao Gezi to be very dissatisfied and was glared at a few times.
Li Xiaopang laughed twice, and quickly changed the topic: "Uncle Understand, you said that we have been chiseling from here all the way, can we lead Harun Arshan out again?" ”
Sure enough, hearing him say this, everyone was interested again, only the monkey three shook his spirit, and waved his little paws at Li Xiaopang angrily.
Li Da smacked his lips in understanding, and sighed again: "Where to find this kind of holy water, the stories are all lies-"
Ahem - the little lattice's face was instantly full of disappointment, don't kill the beautiful fantasy so much, okay?
On the contrary, Uncle Biao wiped his big bald scoop a few times: "Xiaotian, why don't we try." The construction team has ready-made tools over there, in case we can get a hot spring, then our black blind man will have a guy who beats people! ”
This idea, of course, hit it off with Li Xiaopang, and according to these two quick tempers, they immediately wanted to run back. As a result, he was still stopped by Li Daming and said that he would investigate Nirvana?
What else to investigate, as long as there is this hot spring, it is enough, not to mention five million, even if it is ten million, it is worth it - Li Xiaopang shouted in his heart, but he couldn't say it, anyway, it was not a bad day, so everyone packed their bags and continued on the road.
I have to say that this side of Wuling Peak is indeed relatively barren, except for the stones and bushes, there are not many resources that can be used. Even if it is contracted, the follow-up investment will definitely be an astronomical amount, and it will not be effective without ten years or eight years.
At noon, everyone began to bury the pot and make rice. The iron pot has been carried by Uncle Biao's back, and he picked up a very fast big stone, built a simple stove, set up an iron pot, pulled a lot of dry wood, and boiled water for cooking. There is Li Xiaopang, a foodie, so the oil, salt and condiments are very well prepared: the baked sugar cakes are heated in the pot, and then some wild vegetables and mushrooms are picked, and half a pot of soup is played.
It's just that Li Xiaopang has always been a glutton, and he finally came to a picnic, how can he do it without a little game. So he followed Uncle Biao around and touched it. Don't think about pheasants and hares, even if there are, they are attracted to the forest; As for the larger ones, roe deer and wild deer, don't even think about it. Besides, even if there is, Li Xiaopang is reluctant to fight.
finally found a gurgling mountain stream in the ravine, Li Xiaopang's eyes couldn't help but light up: It seems that it's not bad to get some small fish to grill!
As a result, I lay down on the side of the stream and looked into the water for a long time, the stream water was crystal clear, and it was a dry season in autumn, and the stream was only one or two feet deep, and you could clearly see the stones at the bottom of the water, where there were the shadows of fish.
Putting his hand into the water, it was cold, obviously not a hot spring, Li Xiaopang had to shake his head in disappointment.
"Haven't you eaten enough fish all day?" Uncle Biao's loud voice suddenly sounded in Li Xiaopang's ears. He also said twice: "It feels different." ”
Then the two of us will have to do something - Biao Ye walked along the zigzag mountain stream for a while, chose a place, and began to move stones and hold the dam. This Li Xiaopang also played when he was a child, temporarily blocking the upstream of the stream with stones and mud, and blocking the downstream with a fine net, and after the stream was cut off, he could pick up small fish on the river. But I don't have a net at hand, and besides, there don't seem to be any fish in this stream.
"San'er, bring the earthen basket—" Uncle Biao shouted, and the third monkey pushed the big basket with great effort, but the little monkey was too short to carry the basket at all, so he could only push it. This is why Monkey San is smart enough to come up with this method.
Biao Ye touched the brain of the monkey three to show encouragement, and then picked up the soil basket from the ground, found a relatively narrow mountain stream, and stuffed the soil basket there, which basically stopped the fish. As for the stream, the water can flow out through the small cracks in the earthen basket.
The rest of the work is to hold the dam, Biao Ye moved the big stones, Li Xiaopang used small stones to plug the cracks, the dam is held higher and higher, and the stream in the middle-aged section of the river is getting less and less, and there are gradually signs of drying up.
It was only then that I finally saw small fish fluttering at the bottom of the river, all with black backs, about an inch or two long, and when they were still and still, they were about the same color as the stones at the bottom of the water, no wonder they could not be seen.
Probably understood, thinking that he could eat fragrant grilled fish, the monkey three also joined the battle group, grinning and moving stones. But you don't weigh how much waist strength you have, and that Lying Cow Stone is also something you can shake?
Squeak - the little monkey suddenly screamed, and then jumped frantically in place, Li Xiaopang and Uncle Biao hurriedly ran over, only to see that on the feet of the monkey three, hooked with a vague thing, it was a big scorpion!
