Most of the so-called sinkholes are in ancient times, the giant basin left by the meteorite impact on the earth, from the perspective of aerial photography, it is like someone on the ground has made a huge earthen pit, so it is called a sinkhole. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
At present, Guo Xiu knows that the most Tiankeng is in Shuzhong Province in China, where there is a very famous scenic spot called Fengjie Tiankeng, which has always been an excellent place for tourists and low-altitude skydiving enthusiasts.
But what Guo Xiu didn't know was that there was such a sinkhole in the deep mountains of Qianyang Province, and there was such a small village similar to a paradise in it. When I think of the refugees who fled south at the beginning and suddenly discovered this vast world, I must have been very shocked in my heart.
"That's right, this is actually a sinkhole!" An Shao sighed, and then said to Guo Xiu, "When our ancestors came to this place, they were first attracted by the fertile land here, coupled with the abundant water flow and the abundant mountains in the pit, which made them make the decision to settle down. ”
"Then why haven't you gone out yet? Although there are abundant products in this mountain, but if you are locked in this deep mountain all your life, don't you feel a trace of restraint? ”
Guo Xiu frowned, and asked the question he had always wanted to ask in his heart, although this place is very good, beautiful and perfect, but it doesn't look like a perfect way of life to be out of touch with the outside world all his life, even if it is to avoid the soldiers, those people fled here, knowing the sinister outside world, but what about those young people who were born later? Could it be that they have never had the intention of going out?
At this time, Xiao Ting asked a little puzzled on the side: "Why, why do you feel restrained?" The place here is so big, and there is no oppression from the official master that grandpa said, everyone lives happily together, isn't it okay? ”
"This ......"
Guo Xiu was a little stunned, he had always looked at these people living here and the things they did here with the mind of an outsider.
However, Guo Xiu himself forgot that he was not the one who grew up here, so that the things he said about freedom were all just fantasies in his heart, like Xiao Ting and others, who grew up in the mountains, couldn't understand the meaning at all.
An Lao also smiled bitterly, sighed, and reached out to touch Xiao Ting's head on the side: "Our ancestors originally came in along a crack on the side of a mountain, and the left and right sides were only more than three feet wide, and the space that could pass was extremely limited. In fact, 30 years after moving here, there were people who wanted to go out and see it. As a result, on the day they set off, there was a sudden rainstorm in the sky, lightning and thunder, and a big landslide suddenly occurred in that environment, burying all those who wanted to go out, and they couldn't even see a corpse, and in that landslide, the crack was also blocked forever, and even if they wanted to go out in the future, they couldn't get out, and everyone gave up that idea and lived and multiplied here with peace of mind. ”
Guo Xiu knew that the landslide that An Shao said was a modern mudslide, and this kind of huge natural disaster was rarely able to deal with it head-on even in today's technologically advanced world, not to mention the people at that time, it was really no wonder that they were there.
However, the mudslide also blocked all the ways out of the mountain, but fortunately, the place here is not small, otherwise it is really a bit cramped with the current scale of more than 10,000 people.
Now, there is no need for An Shao to explain, Guo Xiu probably understands that the Tianbi that the other party is talking about is probably the four walls of this sinkhole, like a high wall between the real society and these people, and also blocking their hope of returning to normal society.
After thinking for a while, Guo Xiu considered his words and said to An Shao: "An Lao, if I say, I mean, if I can help you reopen the way out, then are you willing to walk out of the mountains with me and go back again?" ”
"Go back?"
An Shao smiled bitterly, and couldn't help but let out a sigh, his old eyes looked around with deep feelings, and finally, he fell on Xiao Ting's body, "Even if you can go back now, do you think these people in the mountains can still adapt to the outside world?" ”
"Isn't it possible that you will hide in this land forever and never go out?" Guo Xiu frowned, and he didn't understand An Shao's choice, "Although it may be a little uncomfortable to go out now, but it's only temporary, after one, two or three generations, sooner or later, there will be a day when you will reintegrate into the world." ”
"And," Guo Xiu paused for a moment and continued, "even if you stay here, it won't help, with the development of science and technology, and the progress of the human world, sooner or later you will be discovered, and then passively enter the life of the outside world." Instead of being so passive, why not take the initiative to integrate now? ”
"You say, technology...... What's that? It sounds like a thing, but are those things really that powerful? In the records of the ancestors, there are some rotten Confucians who study these things all day long, and they don't think about it, but in the end, the Ming Kingdom is over, and they don't play any role. ”
An Shao struggled to understand Guo Xiu's words, but he finally found something that he could understand to replace it, and he could probably understand Guo Xiu's meaning.
Guo Xiu shook his head, the limitations of the ancient people's thinking were due to social reasons, but he didn't see An Shao's thoughts clearly: "An Lao, let me tell you this, can you imagine that people can fly to the sky?" Can you imagine that a man can lurk at the bottom of the ocean for hours? Can you imagine that people on one side of the world can directly see what is happening on the other side, and everything in the world can be seen in certain places, can you imagine such a world? ”
Guo Xiu was speechless for a few You Can Say An Shao, and could only keep smiling bitterly, Guo Xiu looked at each other and shook his head slowly.
"I know you can't. Although you have very high medical skills, you may not know the detailed principles of the human body, you don't know what is in the blood of human beings, you don't know why people live and why they die, you can only roughly summarize these with qi and blood, veins, and primordial spirits, but you don't know the specific laws of development. But in the outside world, all these things can be observed with the naked eye, and there are no secrets for a long time, and even a child of a few years old can say a few words about the general things. ”
"But what about the children here? Do you think this is really a good thing for them to stay in this hopeless mountain, listen to the teachings of their ancestors, farm, grow, and then multiply, and pass on their hopes to the next generation, and die away with the happiness of ignorance? ”
An Lao seems to have aged dozens of years in an instant, and after anyone who has always insisted on the belief is taken away, it will be like this, Guo Xiu looked a little unbearable, but he is doing this for the good of the people in this land, and now going out, although it may be difficult, but after all, there will be a day when he returns to normal. If they go out in the future, as the gap with the outside world widens again, the things they face will eventually become more complex, not much simpler.
Guo Xiu's opinion is very simple, if there is always a day that is inevitable, it is better to take the initiative to meet them, in that way, he will feel truly relaxed after a short period of pain.
An Lao was silent, Guo Xiu also slowed down his tone, and opened his mouth to persuade: "Moreover, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about Xiaoting and them." There is also your master, although the Medicine King Sect has now reopened, but after all, it does not have its own martial arts inheritance, if you don't go out, then the inheritance will be truly cut off. ”
Guo Xiu shook his head and sighed: "After all, you are the only one in the whole world who knows those now. ”
An Lao's face finally loosened a little, and Guo Xiu's words finally knocked on his heart.
