Han Li's exclamation naturally attracted everyone's attention, so they turned their cameras and looked around.

"Is that the Great Wall, how do you feel like it's just an earthen platform?"

"It should be, it looks like a beacon or something."

"I think maybe someone in the village built it."

……

In the face of everyone's discussions, Han Li carefully observed again. The more he observed, the more convinced Han Li was that this should be an ancient beacon tower. It's just that because of disrepair and erosion by wind and sand, it has become the current damaged appearance.

But whether it was the beacon tower of the Great Wall or not, Han Li began to be a little uncertain in his heart. It was as if he hadn't seen anything other than the beacon.

Because he is a military fan, Han Li is very interested in military things, including ancient weapons and ancient defense facilities. Among them, the Great Wall, as a symbol of our country and nation, is also the world's largest defense facility system in Guda, how can Han Li not understand and pay attention.

How could he not be thrilled when he saw this beacon.

But as far as he knows, the Great Wall is composed of a series of functional facilities. It is composed of the main departments such as the city wall, the gate tower, the urn city, the gate, the beacon tower, and the moat.

And what Han Li saw now was only a beacon tower, and he didn't see the remains of the city wall. And at such a distance, he didn't dare to believe that the thing he was looking at was the beacon tower, the beacon tower of the Great Wall.

"Brother Oak, is it really the Great Wall?" Zhang Yiyang, who was on the side, fiddled with the camera and asked.

Hearing this, Han Li shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, but it should be a beacon." You can see that the position is condescending, just enough to be able to observe the situation of the entire pass below, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

I can't really think of anything other than military installations built on this terrain. ”

"Telephoto stretch shooting, the effect is not very good, otherwise, let's go over and take a look." Zhang Yiyang proposed to him.

Han Li thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Not now, it's noon soon." Wait for the afternoon, after the lunch break, call a few interested students, let's carry the tripod to shoot the sunset. ”

"Good!" Hearing Han Li's words, Zhang Yiyang's eyes lit up and he immediately applauded.

After finding a few angles, Han Li took pictures of all the scenes he could see. To be honest, he was not very satisfied with the framing of these photos. Overall decent, nothing to marvel at.

Seeing that the shooting was almost over, everyone also put away their cameras and started playing.

And at this time, I saw an old man carrying a large bundle of firewood, walking towards Han Li from the ridge in the distance.

At first, Han Li didn't feel it yet. But when this old man walked in, the dark skin on his face, coupled with the beads of sweat that shimmered in the solar system, made Han Li's eyes light up. So he quickly took out his camera and pressed the shutter more than a dozen times on the old man.

Seeing this, the classmates next to them also followed suit.

The old man seemed to sense everyone's camera, so he smiled at them, then put the firewood on the pedestal of the signal tower next to him, and sat there to rest.

Han Li, who was about to look through the photos, suddenly remembered the lonely beacon tower in the distance. So he thought about it, and then walked over to the old man.

"Uncle, you have a long life this year." Han Li walked over and asked with a smile.

When the old man heard Han Li's words, he looked at him, showed his somewhat blackened teeth and smiled at him: "The old man is sixty-eight years old this year. ”

"Sixty-eight, your body is still so strong." Han Li smiled at him.

The old man waved his hand when he heard Han Li's words and said, "It's old, it's useless." ”

"Oh, you resisted such a big bundle of firewood, we will definitely not be able to carry it." Han Li said with a smile.

Hahahaha......

The old man once again showed his smoky black teeth and smiled at him: "You city babies have done farm work, let you work for a few days, you are also used to it." ”

Hehe, Han Li smiled, and then said to the old man: "Uncle, just now when we were taking pictures, we saw that there is an earthen platform on the hill over there, is that the beacon tower of the Great Wall?" ”

When the old man heard his words, he subconsciously glanced at the mountain bag, then shook his head and said: "That's not the Great Wall, the Great Wall has to go north, it's a soil fort, in the past, the old people used to guard against horse bandits." ”

"Tubao?" Han Li was surprised, and Han Li was naturally a little disappointed with this result.

"Yes, it's like an earthen fort."

The old man nodded and said, "In the past, there were horse bandits in this place, and these people often came to the village to steal things. What to rob, not only to grab food, but also to rob my mother-in-law and aunt.

So in the end, the village had no choice, so the young people were allowed to go there to sentry. As soon as the bandits come, they ring the bell or light a fire to prevent smoke. In this way, all the people in the village went up the mountain to hide, and the horse bandits had nothing to rob. ”

"In this way, it turns out that this earthen fort was built by you to prevent horse bandits, I thought it was an ancient beacon tower." Han Li nodded, a little disappointed.

The old man seemed to see the disappointment on his face, then shook his head with a smile and said, "No, that earthen fort doesn't seem to have been cultivated, it seems to have always existed."

I heard our ancestors say that when they moved here, this earthen fort was there, and it is said that it seemed to be built by Qin Shi Huang back then. ”

Oh, hearing this, Han Li's eyes lit up suddenly. He seemed to have suddenly grasped something, so he said excitedly: "So when your ancestors moved here, this earthen fort was there, and you also moved from other places back then?" ”

"It seems that from the Ming Dynasty, I moved from Zhejiang to fill in the edges, and it seemed to be to prevent Mongolian * people at that time. Later, the Ming Dynasty fell, and the ancestors stayed. The old man turned to Han Li and handed him a cigarette, and then said with more interest.

"I see!" Han Li nodded and said excitedly.

Those who know a little bit about history and military affairs know that during the Ming Dynasty, the Tile Tartary invaded the border. In order to defend against other places, the Ming Dynasty led Zhejiang troops to the border. Come to think of it, the ancestors of this village should be the descendants of the Zhejiang soldiers who fought in Yansui Town.

In this way, this earthen fort existed before their ancestors came, which means that it must have existed for a long time. Although it is not the main body of the ancient Great Wall, it should be regarded as a subsidiary project of the Great Wall.

A single wall should not be able to defend against the invasion of foreign enemies, and only in this way can the penetration of low-grade enemies be weakened to the greatest extent.

And the ancestors of this village should be the defenders of this earthen fort.

Although it is not the beacon tower of the Great Wall, it can see the relics of the ancient war, which also makes Han Li excited. So Han Li made up his mind to pay attention to it, and he must go to this beacon tower in the afternoon to have a look.
