Rushing through the Tiger Wolf Valley, they came across a small river, and the group went down the river, and before dark, they climbed up a hill with several stone houses on it.

When the three of them entered the house, they found that the roof was still good, the interior walls had been painted, there was an earthen kang on the side of the inner wall, and there was a stove on the ground, and there were some ashes in the stove.

Qi Ying tossed the ashes in the stove and said, "This is the winter when someone goes to the mountains and forests to poach and lives here at night. ”

"I didn't expect to live in this deep mountain and old forest, I still have a house to live in, it's really happy." Shen Jiaqi stretched and planned to climb into bed to sleep.

Qi Ying grabbed her and said, "Slow! ”

Shen Jiaqi turned around, blinked at Qi Ying and asked, "What's wrong?" Sister Qi Ying. ”

"It's not just you who feel comfortable here, maybe other guys feel comfortable too." After Qi Ying finished speaking, she walked out of the stone room.

Shen Jiaqi was very puzzled, looking at Sang Zhiheng, Sang Zhiheng didn't understand what Qi Ying meant, and waved his hand to show that he didn't understand.

After a while, Qi Ying came in with a handful of firewood, and then lit the firewood and threw it under the earthen kang.

The underside of the kang is empty, and in winter you can make a fire underneath it to keep warm.

However, it is spring, and there is no need to keep warm.

As soon as Qi Ying threw the lit firewood into it, he heard a cry from inside, and then seven or eight rats ran out of the pit under the earthen kang.

"Ahh

Shen Jiaqi was afraid of mice, and when she saw mice, she jumped up screaming loudly. She panicked, and even climbed Sang Zhiheng's neck, just wanting to climb up. She actually treated Sang Zhiheng like a tree and wanted to climb it!

People are sometimes really strange, a beast as big as a wolf is not afraid, and a small mouse is scared like this.

And looking at Qi Ying again, when she saw the vole, her eyes lit up, and she saw that her eyes were fast, and after a few quick clicks, the five mice had been strung together by her with 95**.

After a while, the only mouse that ran away was also taken back by the black tiger.

The six rats were all very large, the largest weighing half a catty, and the smallest had to weigh two or two.

Sang Zhiheng hugged Qi Ying, patted her on the back and comforted: "Okay, okay, it's okay anymore." ”

However, when he saw the rats strung on Qi Ying's dagger, he felt a little disgusted and couldn't stand it.

Wow, Sang Zhiheng put down Shen Jiaqi, ran to the door, and spit out.

"Quick, Qi Ying, you are about to throw that thing away, it's disgusting."

With a "wow", seeing Qi Ying stringing a string of mice, Shen Jiaqi couldn't stand it, and also ran outside and spit out.

"Hahahaha, you two, the reaction is quite consistent, it's really like two people."

Qi Ying originally planned to take these six mice for dinner, but seeing the end of the other party's vomit, he threw the mice far away.

Sang Zhiheng stroked his stomach and said dejectedly: "I said Qi Ying, you said that you are such an adult, and you are so fun-loving, you can't scare the rats and run away, why are they all dead?" ”

"Forget it, I won't tell you, if I keep talking, I guess you'll vomit even more. Say, what are we going to eat today? ”

"In the evening, just eat the things in Jiaqi's bag, Ao is right, you wait here first, I'll go get some water."

Then, Sang Zhiheng walked away, hid in a relatively safe place, and tossed out two plastic bags of water from the space.

For dinner, the three of them ate the food brought by Shen Jiaqi, mainly a roast chicken.

With the well water in the space, eating roast chicken, in the stone house on the top of the mountain in the deep mountain and old forest, there is really a feeling of falling grass.

In the Yimeng Mountains, there is a saying that there are seventy-two valleys in Yimeng, and the most famous of them is Meng Lianggu.

During the War of Liberation, in the Battle of Menglianggu, the entire army of the 74th Division was annihilated, with more than 50,000 casualties on both sides.

Because of the battle of Menglianggu, Menglianggu became the most famous mountain in the seventy-two valleys of Yimeng.

In fact, in the Yimeng Mountains, there are more than 72 well-known mountains, and there are countless large and small mountains. Therefore, this seventy-two is just an imaginary number, not a real number.

One night, the three of them slept with each other, and because they were tired, they also slept very sweetly.

The next day, when he woke up, when Sang Zhiheng opened his eyes, the sun had already risen.

"What time is it?"

Sang Zhiheng looked at Shen Jiaqi, who had just walked to the door and stretched his waist.

"It's half past six, hey, where is Sister Qi Ying?"

Sang Zhiheng touched his chest, the jade pendant was still there, so he turned over and got up from the ground, patted the dust on his body, and said, "I just opened my eyes, let's go out and have a look." ”

So, the two men walked out.

Qi Ying was sitting on a bluestone slab outside the stone house, looking into the distance.

"What for? Qi Ying? Sang Zhiheng and Shen Jiaqi walked up behind Qi Ying and asked.

"Oh, you're awake, all right, let's hurry up, the cave is halfway up that mountain, and we'll be there soon."

When Sang Zhiheng and Qi Ying heard this, they seemed very excited.

The three of them did not eat, packed their things, and set out on their way.

An hour later, Qi Ying took Sang Zhiheng and Shen Jiaqi to a large stone slab.

This big slab is a little weird, this place is a sand and stone mountain, it is said that there should not be this kind of bluestone slab, and this big bluestone slab has traces of processing. Sang Zhiheng speculated that this bluestone slab must have been transported by someone to specifically cover up the things underneath the bluestone slab.

But what can be under the bluestone slab? Qi Ying said that it was just a karst cave underneath.

There is a crack under the bluestone slab, which can barely allow an adult to get into, but fortunately, Sang Zhiheng is not too fat.

They brought a flashlight to illuminate, and Qi Ying said, "Let's go in and find something to eat!" ”

Shen Jiaqi asked strangely, "What can I eat in the cave?" ”

Qi Ying smiled mysteriously, did not answer, but said: "One person brings a bundle of firewood." ”

Then she took the lead and went in with a bundle of firewood.

Seeing Qi Ying enter, Sang Zhiheng also followed, and finally Shen Jiaqi also went in.

At the beginning of the road, the two sides of the road were relatively dry, and they climbed down about ten meters diagonally, and the surroundings suddenly became spacious.

"Slow down, everybody, this place is slippery."

Now, based on the slope of the cave entrance and the distance climbed when they came in, Sang Zhiheng speculated that their current position was more than two meters away from the horizontal line of the cave entrance.

Then, in the glow of the flashlight, he noticed that the surroundings were suddenly empty. They seemed to have entered a large underground cavern.

And what surprised it even more was that steps appeared in front of them.

The staircase is very old and has moss on it.

There are steps, which shows that this cave has not only been discovered, but even used by others. Coupled with the fact that the entrance to the cave is covered with a stone slab, it is even more confusing.

Why is the slate covered?

Following the steps and walking down a distance of about four meters, Sang Zhiheng and the others came to a large karst cave.

By the light of the flashlight, they saw that in the middle of the cave was a dark river flowing slowly.

"I'm so hungry, Sister Qi Ying, what are we going to eat?" Shen Jiaqi asked anxiously.

"Look!"

Qi Ying pointed with a flashlight, and in front of them not far away, there was a pool, and with a finger of the flashlight, she saw many small silverfish jumping out of the pool.

Then, Qi Ying quickly used her dagger one by one to spear out the small harbours that jumped up.

"Hahaha, it turns out that Sister Qi Ying is going to take us here to eat grilled fish!"

These small whitebaites, who live underground for a long time, do not see the sun, and once they see the sun, they are strongly stimulated and desperately jump out of the water. Qi Ying actually took advantage of this and used it for fishing, which is really breathtaking.

While eating delicious grilled fish and enjoying the beautiful scenery in the cave, the three of them felt that the hardships along the way were worth it.

However, suddenly, a strange thing in the cave welcomed Sang Zhiheng's attention.

On the rock wall of the cave, there were some strange symbols carved on them, and those symbols were the same as those on the wall of his jade space.

"What's wrong? Zhiheng. Qi Ying saw that Sang Zhiheng was speechless, staring at the cave wall for a long time, and then asked.

"Oh no, nothing." Sang Zhiheng said abruptly.

In the cave, the three of them stayed for a long time before they reluctantly came out.

Then, the three of them crossed two more mountains, came to the side of the road, stopped a large truck pulling coal, and went directly to Yiyuan County.

In Yiyuan County, the three of them got on a direct passenger bus to Yingmu City and returned to Yingmu City.

At six o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, Sang Zhiheng and the three of them finally returned to Taizi Village.

This spring outing is considered to be the fulfillment of Sang Zhiheng's curiosity about Lao Shantao.

Then, back in Taizi Village, Sang Zhiheng went to find the village party secretary the next day.

Because the second project he plans to develop is the peach orchard, which happens to be next to the barren mountain where their family has contracted a barren hill with a deserted peach orchard of twenty or thirty acres. So, he thought that if he could transfer this peach orchard, it would be much more convenient for him to develop in the future.

Regarding Sang Zhiheng's request, Sang Shouliang didn't mention anything, and nodded verbally in agreement. The rest is to discuss with the contractor of the peach orchard.

Sang Shouliang went to the village committee to check, and the contractor of the peach orchard was villager Li Degang.

So, Sang Shouliang proposed that Sang Zhiheng invite Li Degang to drink at the Ruishan Hotel, and then he himself would be a peacemaker in the middle, and then this matter would be easy to say.

So, that night, Sang Zhiheng set up a table at the Ruishan Hotel, invited Leader Gang to the hotel, and told him about the matter. Leader is an old man in his seventies, because he is too old to manage the peach orchard, and when he heard that the other party pays to manage his own peach orchard and gives him money every year, he readily agreed.
