"Inaccessible, thorny, this lotus village is so secluded......" Chen Yuliang sighed.

"Cultivation here is the best situation, and Lao Yi is a martial arts master hidden in the deep mountains and old forests." Nishino stopped in front of an old stone pier and touched it with his hand, "This should be a stone for martial arts training, right?" ”

"Wow, such a big guy, to say the least, is more than 200 pounds." Chen Yuliang grabbed the two recesses of the stone pier with both hands and tried to lift it vertically. It took a lot of effort for him, and his face was red, but the stone pier seemed to have taken root in place, and it didn't leave the ground at all.

"How about I try it?" Nishino grabbed the sides of the stone pier, took a deep breath, and only heard a "hi" sound, he actually lifted the stone pier more than 30 centimeters from the ground, and still hung in the air and maintained his posture for a short time.

"One second, two seconds...... Five seconds. Dude, good skills! Chen Yuliang endured taking pictures while counting seconds.

"What a heavy stone pier." Nishino put down the stone pier and rubbed his wrist, "My arm is a little numb, hehe." ”

"Why can't I bring it up?" Chen Yuliang was a little unwilling, and tried to lift the stone pier twice, but both failed.

"As far as I know, this open place is the martial arts training ground of the ancient rebels, with stone locks, stone making, stone piers, etc., why is there only one stone pier left? We have to ask Lao Yi to be. Nishino was holding on to the stone pier.

"Hmm. Maybe there's a story out there. Chen Yuliang said, "Let's go, let's go to Lao Yi's village to visit." ”

"Okay."

Leaving the stone pier, the two walked more than 20 steps, and the zigzag path came to an end, a fence wall blocked the way, and the lotus village was in front of them.

This lotus village is said to be a village that does not live up to its name, just a two-story brick and wood structure house, and it is difficult to find its existence under the shade of green trees

Lao Yi's green pickup truck was parked in the open space in the stockade, with flocks of chickens and ducks, chirping, so lively. The two hounds guarding the entrance of the fence wall, one on the left and one on the right, one with yellow and white curly hair, the other with pure black hair, grinned with cold teeth, pricked up their ears, and stared vigilantly at the two uninvited guests, Xiye and Chen Yuliang.

Nishino took off the straw rope, and as soon as he opened the firewood door, the hound pounced on him, as if to warn: "You two scoundrels, don't get out of here!" ”

"Ah Huang, Xiao Hei, this is my guest, don't call it." Lao Yi came out and summoned two fierce hounds.

When the two hunting dogs saw Lao Yi coming out, they immediately stopped barking, sniffed Xiye's trouser legs, and then wagged their tails "hummingly", and excitedly welcomed Xiye and Chen Yuliang into the village.

"The hounds didn't scare you, did they?" Lao Yi led Xiye and Chen Yuliang upstairs.

"It's okay, I've never been afraid of dogs since I was a child." Nishino smiled, "Lao Yi, how many people are there from this Lotus Village Forest Police Station?" ”

"I'm the only one. My mother-in-law cooks for me...... Suqin, is the tea ready? Lao Yi shouted into the kitchen.

"Old man, what are you in a hurry. Miss Zixuan is still washing clothes in the back! Suqin replied loudly in the kitchen.

"Oh, got it." Lao Yi warmly beckoned the two of them to sit down, and made two cups of hot "insect tea".

"Lao Yi, can you drink this tea?" Chen Yuliang looked at the black insects at the bottom of the cup and was puzzled.

"Of course you can drink it. Insect tea is not tea, but the appearance resembles pearl tea, and the color is like tea after brewing, so it has a tea name. Insect tea brews tea, the aroma is overflowing, drink a few sips, the taste is mellow and sweet, refreshing, and endless. Lao Yi made himself another glass.

"What is the special effect of that worm tea?" Chen Yuliang squeezed his cup, but he still didn't dare to drink it.

"Chen Dong, if you are not a distinguished guest, you will not be able to drink this tea. I bought 500 yuan a pound of insect tea on the market, and there was no stock. Nishino took a big sip, "This tea still has a sweet taste...... After years of aging, insect tea has a more mellow taste and milder medicinal properties, and has the effects of clearing fire, aiding digestion, increasing gastric motility, lowering blood pressure and lowering blood lipids. ”

"That's right!" Lao Yi gave a thumbs up and praised Nishino, "Little brother, you are from the Black Mountain region, right?" ”

"Yes. I have lived in the Montenegro region for more than 20 years and know a thing or two about insect tea. Every year, when the mother arrives at a certain season, she has to go to the mountains to pick wild green willow tea leaves and take them home. After several tedious processes, it is made into raw tea and stored.

After a long period of time, the tea leaves have almost been eaten by the insects, and the excrement of the insects can be collected. Sift out the plant fibers with a special sieve, take the insect feces to the sun and expose them to the sun, the insects will die, and then put them in a container and seal them......" Speaking of insect tea, Nishino was full of interest, and seemed to be a little thirsty, so he drank a large sip of insect tea.

Chen Yuliang tried to take a sip of tea, and it was really cool and sweet: "Lao Yi, that worm tea also has advantages and disadvantages?" ”

"The quality of insect tea is determined by comprehensive factors such as the altitude of the place of origin, the climate of the place of origin, the clouds and fog of the place of origin, the color, concentration, taste, efficacy, and whether it is aged. Insect tea is best at a high altitude and moderate climate in the production area. The color is black and bright, and the color gray and light is down. Lao Yi finished drinking the tea and poured another cup, "Insect tea can be brewed three times, and the more you get to the back, the lighter the color." ”

"Oh." Chen Yuliang nodded, "I'm lonely and unheard, so I make you laugh." ”……

When asked how Lao Yi became the "owner" of Lotus Village, he put down the cup in his hand, looked at his calloused hands, and said slowly-

In 1993, when I was working as a riot police officer in Shenzhen, I was shocked to hear that the rare animals and plants in Lianhua Mountain had been seriously damaged, overgrazing and left unguarded. After discussing with my mother-in-law, I quit my job and went home, found a friend, and did what I said, built two small wooden sheds, planted trees, and focused on restoring the ecological environment here.

There is no electricity, no roads, and all the daily necessities have to be carried up the mountain on your shoulders. The conditions were so bitter that in less than a year, the partner withdrew. My mother-in-law also advised me not to hold on, because there was no one to take care of my two children when they went to school.

After a few days and nights of consideration, I decided to stay, send my children to a boarding school in the county, and continue to guard the land. My wife has to go out to see the children for a month, and I am alone in this barren mountain and wilderness, and the kind of loneliness and helplessness that ordinary people can't experience.

During this period, many poachers and poachers set fire to my wooden shed many times, and I drove them away one by one. The cultural relics used in the martial arts field were targeted by the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau next door, and forty or fifty people were sent to rob them, all of them had guns in their hands, and there was no way to fight with them. It was only under my sworn defense that the bandits left a stone pier......

"Old man, your story is already a household name in S City, don't just tell it to people." Lao Yi's mother-in-law came out with a few bowls of oil tea in a wooden box without a lid on it, and Yushu and Zixuan also came out.

"Mother-in-law, I also appeared on CCTV's "Geography China", and I have long been famous. But some tourists don't necessarily know, I still have to say......" Lao Yi brought oil tea to Xiye and Chen Yuliang, "Little brother, please drink tea." ”

"Thank you, Lao Yi." Nishino took the tea bowl, and although he didn't drink much oil tea, he was very gracious.

"Old man, people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong. What can I do if I am famous, it is not that the city has not solved my establishment problem. Su Qin glanced at Lao Yi.

"The government has the difficulties of the government, and it has done a good job to include me in the forest public security system and be able to give me a few thousand a month. Be content, mother-in-law. Lao Yi smiled, "We didn't have a penny in the first few years, and we didn't do the same, didn't we?" ”

"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you." Suqin put away the oil tea bowl in order and went into the kitchen with a wooden box (tea pot).

"Young man, my mother-in-law is like this, and she likes to complain." Lao Yi stood up and pointed to the rows of photos on the wall and said excitedly.

"Successive secretaries of the provincial party committee have come to Lianhuazhai to inspect, saying that the wetland here is a gift from nature and a treasure, and asked me to take care of this land for future generations." Lao Yi changed his words, "But the secretary of the provincial party committee has changed one after another, and the project of the National Wetland Forest Park has not yet been approved." I'm anxious, I'm anxious, twenty years have passed, and I'm old-"

"Lao Yi, the provincial alpine wetland forest park has been built, and the national one should be soon." Nishino comforted Lao Yi.

"I hope so. As long as I can see the successful completion of the national nature reserve in my lifetime, I will have no regrets in this life. Lao Yi sighed, "Alas, I don't know if I can wait until what day?" ”

Su Qin came out with a tea pot: "Old man, what are you sighing for, I have been suffering with you for twenty years." Husband and wife are birds of the same forest, and they should support them when disaster comes. Following you, I also got the light of a celebrity, and no matter how hard and tired it is, it's worth it. ”

Nishino left and understood what the hostess had to say, so he quickly took out 500 yuan from his pocket: "Sister-in-law, a few of us are here to eat at noon today, and we have to trouble you again." ”

"Why don't you just have a meal?" Su Qin said that she would not accept any money, "You have come from afar, and you are our honored guests." You really don't have to be so polite. ”

"Sister-in-law, Zixuan and I have been arguing with you here for a long time...... If you don't take money, then we're embarrassed to eat here. Yushu took the money from Nishino's hand and gently placed his hands in the wooden box.

"Big sister, what's so embarrassing?" Suqin dragged the money in her hand and insisted on returning it to Nishino.

"I know that 500 yuan won't help you. This is a small meaning, and I would like to represent our admiration for Lao Yi. Sister-in-law, you must accept it. Nishino put the money back in the wooden box again.

"Then I'll be respectful and obey." Su Qin went into the kitchen with a tea pot and went busy.

"Ahem, ahem...... Suqin, you will boil water and kill chickens and ducks, and I will take these guests around the neighborhood first. Lao Yi said to Su Qin's back.

"Got it, old man, remember to come back early-"
