After chatting for a while, Li Long arranged for the staff to install the infrared equipment he brought. Several people were responsible for setting up equipment, and Li Long commanded the fixed point on the side.
After a while, the signal came, and a ropeway could be erected between two points, and suddenly there was a burst of cheers.
Rao is a little prepared, Li Long couldn't believe that he had completed the fixed-point task so smoothly, happily recording some data, and measuring the distance between them through the infrared device.
The most troublesome thing has been solved, and the rest seems to be able to be measured today, which greatly saves the project time, in order to complete He Kun's project within a month, the company urgently allocated manpower from other places, and really lost a lot of business.
Now the fixed-point survey is completed so quickly, and one of the ends is on the side of the road, which can save a lot of work, so it is estimated that it will take less than a month to complete the project here, and return to the original construction site, which can also make up for a lot of losses for the company.
Thinking of this, Li Long became even more anxious, and before the record was completed, he arranged for someone to measure the route between the two points.
Seeing that the fixed point had been completed, and there was no need to follow the rest of the things by himself, He Kun arranged for several descendants in the village to act as guides in the mountains, and they were lost in the past.
After waiting for someone to come, there was nothing to do here for a while, and after He Kun said hello, he returned to the village.
With the breath of the river in the breeze, several egrets flew towards the mountains and forests, with a graceful posture, like fairy birds, galloping in the blue sky.
He Kun paced slowly along the river, not knowing where to go for a while? On the barren mountains in the distance, the villagers are working overtime intensively, and people are faintly seen bending down to clean up the weeds from time to time in the greenhouse.
Everything in front of him was so busy, He Kun suddenly felt a little bored. Thinking that the mining of bluestone is about to start, I have to go to worship the mountain god.
…………………………
The Book of Rites. "Sacrifice Law": "Mountains, forests, rivers, valleys and hills, can come out of the clouds, for wind and rain, see monsters, all say gods." ”
It is believed that all things have spirits, and that there are gods in all natural flowers, such as the moon and stars, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, Sheji, Wuyue, mountains and forests, rivers, seas, rivers and lakes, animals and plants, flying dives, etc., which are directly related to human social life and have a huge impact on natural phenomena and things, have been given the status of "gods".
The village of Baijian Mountain has always attached great importance to this tradition, and there are two temples on the hill not far from the mountain village, which have been worshipped by the village incense for many years.
The god of the mountains is called the god of the mountain, the god of the land is called the god of the land, and the village of Baijian Mountain is out of the handover of the mountain and the soil, and there has always been a tradition of worshipping two gods.
He Kun remembers that when he was a child, every big festival, such as Qingming, Dragon Boat Festival, autumn moon, winter solstice, spring equinox, the elders of the village, leading the men in the village to carry pigs' heads, incense cases, offerings, all the way to play and sing, very lively.
However, now as the men in the village gradually go out to work, they rarely come back, and now they can only be lively on the side of the New Year, when they worship their ancestors.
In the past six or seven years, no one has mentioned the matter of sacrificing to the two gods, and there are not many people left in the older generation, and even fewer are in good health.
Nowadays, except for the people in the village who have a red and white happy event, they will send someone to burn incense and worship it, and the large-scale worship activities have disappeared, which is a pity, a pity!
Seeing that the ropeway is about to be installed, the mining of bluestone has also been in the past few days.
It is indispensable to deal with the mountains, and the mountain god Grandpa must pay a good respect.
The father-in-law of the land, as a parent, He Kun's planting is even less supported by the land.
didn't say anything, He Kun also prepared a gift.
Although it is said that worshipping God is much easier than in the past.
He Kun returned to the courtyard and made a good mess at home for a while, carrying a big red bag full of offerings.
In the other hand, he held a firewood knife, mainly because the mountain had not been there for a long time, and the wild grass had long been overgrown.
In addition, it is now in the sting season, and the poisonous snakes in the mountains are already infested, and no one knows what the trail looks like now, so it is always right to have a weapon in hand.
He Kun bypassed the bamboo forest and stepped onto the mountain road.
It's a little easier to walk here than the fruit trees on the barren mountain, the barren grass is not high, there are traces of people walking, and the vine branches stretch out from time to time to block it, but most of them have been cleaned up, and the withered yellow branches on the roadside can be seen everywhere.
He Kun took Da Hei with him, but he didn't encounter too many obstacles along the way, and as he walked up the mountain a little bit, he encountered more animals.
Now that spring is beginning and the temperature is warming, especially now that it is close to noon, many animals have run out to bask in the sun, especially the snakes that have been hibernating for a long time, and from time to time there is a sound of ropes from the grass. He Kun was shocked from time to time, and his spirit was always in a state of high concentration.
You must know that the scorpions, centipedes, poisonous snakes and spiders in the mountains are very deadly, especially the environment of the mountain village here has not been damaged, and all kinds of poisons thrive here, which is very terrifying.
If you don't pay attention and these guys give you a bite, it's not a joke.
I remember when I was a child, there was a person in the village who drank at someone else's house at night, but the family waited for a long time and didn't come back, so I ran to ask, only to know that the person had already gone home, and finally everyone in the village came out to look for him, and finally found the trace of the person in the ditch on the side of the road.
When it was discovered, the man was already dead, and after examination, it was learned that he had been bitten to death by a local poisonous snake called the five-step dragon, and it is said that after being bitten by this poisonous snake, he would die within five steps, which was quite terrifying. (I remember when I heard this, I asked stupidly, then don't go, or don't go after walking four steps, just stand there and shout for help!) In the end, he was ridiculed by his own adults. )
In the end, the family vented all their anger on the poisonous snake, and spent a lot of money to invite a famous local snake catcher family in Qimen to come into the back mountain to catch snakes.
But two days after the snake catcher entered the mountain, he ran out with a pale face, trembling all over.
The villagers were very curious, and hurriedly got a cup of hot water for him, and after he drank the water, the frightened man began to gradually ease up, and slowly explained the matter with a frightened face.
It turned out that not long after this person entered the mountain, he found that the environment here was very suitable for the growth of poisonous snakes, and through traces and knowledge he had been exposed to since childhood, he had a premonition that the most venomous snake in southern Anhui should be here.
Maybe the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and he encountered a lot of poisonous snakes along the way, but he ignored them, and only wanted to find the snake's nest and catch the most poisonous snake king.
Exploring all the way in, at the intersection of five mountain peaks, I found a deep pool, pitch black water, bottomless.
Just when the snake catcher was looking for traces by the pool, a white python instantly came out of the pool, swimming back and forth on the water, and the snake head turned to stare at the snake catcher for a while, and then dived into the water again.
In less than half a minute, the water surface returned to calm again, but in the eyes of the snake catchers on the shore, it seemed that several hours had passed, standing in place and not daring to move, the cold sweat on his whole body flowed down instantly, his teeth trembled unobeyedly, and he even held his breath involuntarily.
The snake has a spirit surname, this sentence is often said by the old man in the family, and fortunately he didn't kill on the way here, otherwise he might have confessed here this time.
After a while, I felt that I could control my body, and slowly retreated lightly, until I left this area, the snake catcher ran up with his thighs, and I don't know how many times I fell along the way, but due to the fear in my heart, a lot of hormones were produced, and the pain on the ** was not felt for the time being, and there was only one belief in my heart that I would never come again.
Saying this, the snake catcher slowly stood up, couldn't help but look towards the mountain, bowed slightly, and then turned around and said, "Don't be afraid, this snake has become a sperm, and there are horns on its head, I am afraid that it has been thousands of years, you live here, if it harms you, it will be harmed a long time ago."
As long as you don't bother it, it will protect you! With it entrenched here, some other beasts must not dare to come! All you have to do is not let people disturb it. After the snake catcher had said this, the money was confiscated, so he took his leave and went down the mountain.
