Chapter 269: Nanzhong (Text)
After two days in a row, they went to several small towns along the way to restock their petrol and some dry food.
However, the desolation of this place really opened Zhang Meng's eyes, and there are two small towns that live an almost primitive life and are self-sufficient. There was a dead silence in the town, but there were more outsiders than the townspeople.
"Third uncle, what have you found out in the past year, say it and listen to it, I'm almost bored to death!"
Zhang Meng said with a bitter face, the car is narrow, and Ye Jiu is there, it seems that Zhang Meng also feels awkward when he speaks, and after two days, he almost collapsed.
"Actually, these things can be said, but they can't be said, and you don't understand them."
Zhao San hesitated for a moment and said with some sternness.
"Hey, third master, don't play pantome riddles when you're old, do you have anything interesting to share? Let us rise in knowledge. It's really not good to talk about the customs here, damn it, the idle ones are about to shrink their eggs into it......"
The fat man forcibly stretched out his arms and thighs, and said lazily, almost squeezing Zhang Meng to death.
"Third uncle, you must not know anything! Your work this year is estimated to have been played everywhere with Ye Jiuxi Shuangbanna and Shangri-La, and the things that should be studied have not been thoroughly studied. ”
Zhang Meng suddenly realized and said, Zhao San came to study the customs and customs, just kidding, this old man will not study this thing if he goes to study two bullets.
He was also so idle that he actually asked about Zhao Sanlai.
"Why don't I know, I'll tell you now, what about this Nanzhong? Isn't it just the junction of three places? By the way, the story of Zhuge Liang's seven captures of Meng Shu happened here! ”
Zhao San's face was flushed, and he argued loudly.
"Gotta get it, third uncle, you know everything."
Zhang Meng shrugged his neck to see if he could sleep for a while.
"This part of Nanzhong can be regarded as a bitter cold land, so the animals that can survive are all fierce beasts, and the humans who can survive are warriors, and the army formed by this kind of person is naturally incomparable to the army nourished by the fertile land of the Central Plains. So from ancient times to the present, this area has always been the 'chicken ribs' in the hearts of various rulers! Leave it alone, maybe one day the army composed of these ethnic minorities will kill all the way and directly destroy the imperial city. Anyway, there are many ethnic groups here, and it is extremely difficult for them to intervene, and the intricate terrain also makes the ruler's plan to conquer the world frustrated......"
Zhang Meng was stunned, and it turned out to be Hua Rong, who was driving, to introduce it to everyone.
"That's right, Xiaohua, come and continue to talk to the master, wait for the reward for you two big money!"
The fat man said loudly when he discovered the New World.
Zhang Meng glared at the fat man fiercely, although there was some joke in his words, but everyone didn't know Hua Rong's character at all. In case you annoy him, have fun along the way.
Fortunately, this did not happen, and Hua Rong continued:
"Therefore, the Central Plains' management methods for this area are generally harmonious and pro-friendly, as well as controlling the economy. The economy here has always been very poor and has not been able to develop, and this is the reason. Just imagine, if the economy has developed by leaps and bounds in this bitter cold place, and ceramics, ironware, smelting, and grain are all well stocked, then once they rush into the Central Plains, they will be a group of tigers and wolves, and the pampered Central Plains people will not be able to resist it at all. Therefore, for thousands of years here, even iron tools have to be bartered with the Han people, which is to blame the control of the Central Plains......"
"That's why we're seeing this place so desolate?"
The sick ghost said thoughtfully, on this dirt road, the surrounding desolate environment is rapidly backwards, listening to the driver explain the history of Nanzhong, it is a different flavor.
"There must be a reason for this, although a lot of efforts have been made after the reunification of New China, but the roots here are too thin! Even if you come here with advanced technology to promote, no one will accept it, which is the fundamental reason why the economy in this area cannot be developed. ”
"Xiaohua, how do you know so much?" The fat man asked in surprise, this is not just a familiar description, it is completely a thorough study of this area.
"This is my house."
Xiao Li smiled and said.
Zhang Meng suddenly realized, no wonder this guy is completely handy about these things.
chatting all the way, they soon entered the southern central zone, that is, the junction of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan.
At this point, Zhang Meng finally understood why he was driving this Humvee.
Some roads are only thirty or forty centimeters wide, and the whole car is almost inclined at an angle of more than 30 degrees, coupled with the potholed terrain, the strong vibration almost shakes off the steel plate on the car.
Zhang Meng only felt that his stomach was constantly churning, if he hadn't restrained himself, I was afraid that he would have vomited out the gastric juice at once.
"I said Xiaohua, you ...... You drive slowly......"
Zhang Meng's face turned pale and hurriedly shouted.
"It's not that it's fast, it's that the terrain here is like this, and now the speed is very slow, and if it's slow, it is estimated that this car will have to overturn."
Xiao Li said with a wry smile that when they first came, the Hummer they had just bought fell apart before it arrived.
If the terrain has been so steep, I am afraid that this foreign car equipped with an American engine will not be able to support it for long, and this kind of location is simply a disaster for the engine!
After being bumpy for half an hour, Zhang Meng felt that he was going to be thrown out a few times.
The fat man couldn't bear it, so he rolled down the window, splitting his head and covering his face was a burst of vomiting, and Zhao San's sick ghost was also pale, Xiao Li could only stop helplessly to rest.
"Damn, what the hell is this broken road, if you go down again, the few grenades you brought will have to be detonated!"
The fat man sat on a stump and said in a dead voice.
"Phew, you crow's mouth, I want to shoot you in the ass when the third master is young."
Zhao San's face darkened when he heard this, isn't this a taboo?
"Come on, Third Master, look at your way of dying, and now you have the strength to beat me?" The fat man was not afraid at all, he said indifferently.
"Okay, I said you all don't make any noise, this section of the road will take another ten minutes, and it is estimated that you will reach your destination......" Hua Rong said as he unfolded the map.
"Arrived, to the grave?"
The fat man can't react a little, this is too fucking easy to find, right?
Zhang Meng also stared at Hua Rong with a puzzled face, how is this possible? If it was really so easy to find, then this thing would have been hollowed out a long time ago, and where would it be their turn.
"It's definitely not a tomb, it's not easy to find it!"
Hua Rong couldn't help laughing: "The destination I'm talking about is a small market here in Nanzhong, and the person we are looking for is there today." This time, it is simply impossible for us to go alone, not only for intelligence, but also for this kind of five-yuan map of provinces and cities, we can't find specific directions. ”
"There are still people? Then how will the artifact be divided? ”
The fat man was not happy when he heard this, and he shouted against it.
