We entered the courtyard, this courtyard is different from what we just passed, only two sides have walls, and the other side is a stone step leading to a vegetable garden more than ten meters away, the garden is arranged in four steps, it is a small terrace. Each level is about three meters wide and twenty meters long, and some vegetables and fruits are planted on it, which are green and enjoy the moisture of the sun and sea breeze, and may taste more special. The style of the house is not much and Aunt Guo's house, it is also three floors and has a large terrace.

Uncle Zhuang asked us how many rooms we wanted, and after getting the signal from the door, we asked for two. Uncle Zhuang warmly took us into the room, the room is on the third floor, and the big terrace is in front of the room. The rooms are a bit smaller than the average guesthouse, but they are very cleanly furnished, with a few photos of the local scenery hanging on the wall. The photos show a misty beach shot with a slow gate, and the sunlight piercing through the clouds like a sharp sword. We watched it with great interest.

"Jingtian, come here, this rock is very interesting!" Floophyll beckoned to me happily. When I looked over, it was indeed a strange rock, with a small peak about ten meters high separated from the cliff a few meters away, and the bottom of the small peak should be less than ten meters to the top, and it gradually shrank upward. The shape of the summit is very peculiar, the top one can clearly be separated from the lower part of the rock, it is long and flattened, and the right side is slightly upturned, which looks more like nature has taken it from another place and placed on it. Further down the rock, a rock protrudes from the rock, its pointed and long beak resembles the front beak of a bird, and the upper part of the peak as a whole does look like an animal.

"It's a lot like a chicken's head!" I nodded in agreement.

"Yes, it's like a chicken's head, and this cockscomb and front beak are really amazing." He pointed to the flat stone and the assault and said, "We'll ask Uncle Zhuang where it is later, and we must go and see it." ”

We continued to look at the photo, a black and white photo attracted our attention, different from other color photos, the black photo although there is no brilliant color, but it gives people a particularly simple feeling, it is like a girl next door wearing simple clothes and a delicate appearance, although not powdered but beautiful.

The photo is basically square, with a side length of nearly 20 cm, which looks like it should have been many years ago. A large mountain occupies the upper third of the photo, and on the left side of the mountain is the bay, on which are more than a dozen wooden boats of all sizes, each with a mast, which is supposed to be an ancient ship that mainly relies on wind power. It was in a style I had never seen in any document, and each boat had a long slipway for resting and driving at the stern, and a few portholes peeking out of the slipway. Looking at the clearest wooden boat at the bottom of the photo, with its stern facing land, I realized that the tail of these boats is also pointed. There was a man working on the ship, and judging by the ratio of man to boat, the length of the ship was not more than twenty meters, and the width was not more than four meters.

On the land are dense two-story and three-story stone houses, and a four-story square stone building by the sea is already the tallest building, and like the stone houses closest to the sea, people actually have their stone foundations located directly in the sea. The walls of the stone house were built on the stone foundation and did not retract into it, and the sea water had risen to the bottom of the stone foundation, which made people really worry about whether a big wave would overturn the stone house. It's a veritable room with a sea view, and if you want to swim in the sea in the summer, you can jump straight from the window.

There are a few people playing on the beach that is a little exposed, and a few are swimming in the sea, so I guess it was summer when the photo was taken! A man-powered ferryboat was rocking its way towards the only small pier on the coast. Stone houses are all over the right side of the photo, filling the flat part of the entire bay, and not even the shadow of the road is revealed, which shows the dense population of the earth at that time. Looking at the photos, the original natural landform is basically maintained, very quaint, a seaside town!

"This place is good, what age do you say it should be!" I was very interested.

"Twenty or twenty-first century! No matter how late it is, there will definitely be no wooden boats. "I tried to think about what I had learned about history.

"Let's go down and ask Uncle Zhuang, we must go and see this place to see what it has become now, more than a thousand years!"

The two of us went downstairs in a hurry, and the uncle was about to go out to see us coming downstairs and asked happily, "Why don't you go and rest first?" ”

"I saw something good, I couldn't help it!"

"What a good thing!"

"The place on the black and white photo of the uncle is there! When was it filmed, we want to go and see! ”

"That's it! Every time I live in my house, I want to see it, it should have been taken at the end of the 20th century, and according to human beings, photography has only been more than 100 years old. But more than 1,000 years have changed so much, you will definitely be disappointed! Uncle Zhuang showed a look of regret in his eyes.

"Oh! That piece of chicken head peak is always there! ”

"That chicken head! It's still there, but you can only watch it from a distance, many years ago there was a road to the bottom of the peak, and now there is no road. But there are many places where you can see it, and you can see it from the place where you see the sunrise tomorrow. ”

I and I glanced at each other, and we both saw helplessness and regret in each other's eyes. Probably to comfort us, Uncle Zhuang said with a smile: "It's really time for you to come, it just so happens that a friend of mine has made something good, I will take you with me, and I will go to the beach in the photo, you can see if it has changed much!" ”

After saying that, he took us out, and said to himself as he walked: "The change is too great, where can you recognize it!" ”

After walking down the stairs for a few minutes, and then on the path along the stream that I had walked at the beginning, a middle-aged woman came up to me, her originally white skin still left a little mark on the sea, revealing a faint dark black. She carried a bamboo basket filled with black, pointed cone-shaped things with a rough appearance.

"You're back!" Uncle Zhuang said to her.

"yes, you take the guests there!"

"Lao Guo just caught a moray eel, I'll go to him to get it!"

Lao Zhuang turned his head to look at us and explained: "This is my wife!" ”

"Hello sister-in-law!" We learned to say hello to Guo Yongfang.

Sister-in-law Zhuang picked up the basket and gestured and said, "You go with Lao Zhuang first, I'll go back and get this first!" With that, he strode up.

"By the way, uncle, what did my sister-in-law get just now, it looks weird!" I couldn't help but be curious.

"Barnacles, we call them Chong here, they are very fresh, very delicious!"

"Really!" I looked at each other, and I really couldn't think of anything that black thing had to do with Xian. Lao Zhuang looked at us with a strange look, and only led us to continue walking. After passing through a tunnel, we came to the beach, which is a seaside square with a pier, where tourists feel the baptism of the sea breeze. This pier is also made of stone, the pier is not big, only about 200 meters, and there are several yacht-like boats parked on the pier, which are modern products at a glance. Lao Zhuang walked to a boat and said loudly:

"Oars twist, and Ningke Zhejiang, good households Tu Nirvana!" After a while, he said, "How I you!" ①

My brain cells searched hard for the meaning of these words, but I couldn't find the answer, and then I turned to the door, and I definitely didn't understand her puzzled look, but we both knew the ancient language of the Eastern civilization, but he didn't speak the lingua franca, and the last sentence sounded like the language of another ancient civilization on Earth, and I really didn't know what he was talking about.

"Uncle, what did you say in the last sentence just now?" She was visibly curious.

"Whoa?" Uncle Zhuang repeated, and we finally heard the three words clearly, which was too similar to another language we imagined, but there were still differences.

Uncle Zhuang turned around, looked at our mumu and smiled: "Don't you understand what I just said!" ”

"Yes! We can understand some of the language of the ancient earth civilization, but we don't understand these two sentences at all! I said helplessly.

"It's not surprising! The people of our place sometimes speak a very old dialect to each other, and there used to be many countries on the earth, and the language of each country was basically different. Even within the same country, there are many different dialects, and now the dialects are basically extinct, but our place still retains the original dialect. ”

"I see, what do you mean?" Su asked sweetly.

"The oars twist is the meaning of the boat boss, I just told him to prepare something good."

"Yes! Thank you so much. As soon as I heard that there was something delicious, I was very excited, and asked, "I understand what you said at the end, are you okay?" ”

"How are you? I'm fine! This time it was Guo Jianfu's turn to be stunned, "I didn't say that!" I just asked the boat boss if there were any crabs! ”

"Ahh That's it! I looked at each other and laughed, never expecting the last sentence to mean this, it sounded like another ancient language of the earth.

As he spoke, a capable but weather-beaten face emerged from the cabin, the skin that had been trained by the wind and rain, the waves, and the sun shimmered a special bright black, and a few traces of time climbed up his forehead prematurely, but a pair of sharp eyes made him a little younger, this is a fisherman in the prime of life.

"Haitao! This is an alien guest, there are good things to take out and don't hide, I'm also stained! ”

"Do you still need to say it! Come on board, you guys are just in time, I've got freshly caught fish and crabs here, fresh! I'll make you the most authentic local dish for you to try. Haitao's rough voice rang out.

When we got on the boat, we saw that there were two long and round fish in a bucket that were struggling, and there was basically no water in the bucket, and the fish was very strong, and it stood up along the wall of the barrel like a snake, and wanted to run out, if the eyes were not good, I was afraid that it would really be seen as a snake. Haitao picked up the bucket, suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked us: "This fish is a little spiny, can you eat it!" ”

"No problem!" I've eaten all kinds of fish when I was in Green Star, and Flooc nodded.

"That's good!" The waves beckoned us into the cabin and let us sit and rest. The cabin is divided into an inside and an outside, which is supposed to be a resting place, and the outside has a small kitchenette. Haitao quickly took out a porcelain jar, took out another bottle, and poured orange-yellow liquid into the porcelain jar. He grabbed two fish that were still alive and kicked, took them under the dragon's head, rushed them, and threw them into the jar, and as soon as the fish entered, they fluttered and bounced, but Haitao immediately covered them with a lid. He took out another piece of ginger and cut it into slices and threw it into the jar, then poured some brown sugar into the jar, and finally put the lid of the jar into the pot that was already full of water, covered the lid and burned it.

"Isn't this fish just boiled?" Looking at the fish that was about to be boiled alive, I was a little unbearable, and my heart was more puzzled.

"No!"

"Then what was that yellow thing just now!"

"Rice wine! The fish just now is called sand eel, and this dish is called Huanglong Naohai, but it is one of the most authentic dishes we have here! ”
