Chapter 5 The Golden Vase of King Miao
We drove east along the highway, and during this time the stallions were arguing for a drive, and I thought that I could not afford to drive alone for eight hours, so I found a service area on the way and stopped at the service area, and after resting, I changed to him.
In this way, we rotate with each other as drivers, which is a boring trip for ordinary people, but it does not exist for us, and the joy of playing with new cars, only those who like cars understand it, and they don't feel tired at all.
Eight hours later, we finally arrived at Youxian County, it was now 11 o'clock in the evening, I followed the navigation to the Tenglong Hotel, parked the car and checked in.
"No matter how I look at it, this is a modern county, where is Miaojiang? Where is Apon Valley? The little dragon king quickly sacrificed the compass and pinched his fingers to calculate. "The stallion in the big squat talks in the toilet.
"That's a! I'm not a fortune teller, NND, it's weird, I came to find out, I can't find this place in the Apeng Valley on the map, how to get there? In this case, I will immediately call and ask Kuanbo, how long are you going to squat? Come out and get something to eat! Starve to death! "On average, I drove for four hours, and I needed to burn a lot of calories to concentrate on driving, and I was already hungry, and I bought dry food and compressed biscuits in the car, which are easy to store, and I don't like to eat them, or the local food suits my taste.
"It's coming, it's coming! Didn't I empty my belly so I could have a big meal? The sound of the toilet bowl in the toilet rang out, and the stallion said as he opened the door.
When I arrived at the hotel lobby, I found the girl at the front desk and asked, "Is there a good restaurant near here?" ”
"Go out and turn left and walk 300 meters to a traffic light intersection, continue to walk straight through the traffic light to see the county hospital, next to the county hospital now there is only one Tujia restaurant open all night, their Wujiang fish, turtledove tofu and a drink called Sanqingfang are very good." The little sister at the front desk was enthusiastic to introduce us.
"Good! Thank you, girl, just eat these three things, go! "The stallion and I trotted all the way to this Tujia restaurant.
Tujia restaurant, as the name suggests, is a special restaurant of the Tujia family.
"Boss, bring us a slightly spicy Wujiang fish, and another turtledove tofu, two cans of Sanqing Fang." I looked at the menu, and this one seemed to be good, "Add another Gongtan mushroom, a meal for two people!" ”
"Great! It's fast, just wait for Hal! Table 6 Receipt! The boss took the menu and shouted.
At this time, apart from me and the stallions, there are only two or three tables of people still eating, and it is estimated that there are family members hospitalized in the county hospital.
At this time, I happened to be free, I called Kuanbo to ask where Apeng Valley was, and Kuanbo was woken up by me in his sleep: "Kuanbo, you haven't told me yet, where is Apeng Valley?" Kuanbo said helplessly after a while: "I'm afraid this is only the little young master, you go to find it yourself, I was still young at that time, and I haven't learned the skills taught by the master, I just can fight, anyway, I have to drill around in a mountain called Momo Mountain, I forgot how to go, and the master can't tell you now, have you already arrived in Youxian?" Be sure to stay safe! I've also gone to Maji Cottage, and now I'm about to help the master turn over, hang up! "Kuanbo doesn't know, forget it, I'll figure it out myself.
Soon the hot meal was served on the table, in fact, Wujiang fish is not a type of fish, but refers to the wild silver carp in the river, the Wujiang fish is sliced, soaked in edible oil, chili, ginger and garlic and other condiments, so that it has the characteristics of freshness, fragrance, tenderness, smoothness, etc., and is welcomed by the majority of foodies.
Turtledove tofu is a pure natural food, made from turtledove leaves in the deep mountains as raw materials, after simple processing, the taste is tender and smooth.
The Gongtan wild mushroom is one of the three most edible mushrooms in the world, with the effect of clearing heat and relieving annoyance, dispelling wind and dissipating cold, relaxing muscles and invigorating blood, replenishing deficiency and refreshing, etc., the best way to eat is to stew soup with chicken, duck and pork ribs, the taste is delicious, the owner of this shop uses pork ribs to stew wild mushrooms.
This dish and turtledove tofu are all kind-hearted, I specially ordered them for stallions, especially Gongtan wild mushrooms, which can be eaten here, which is very rare.
The reason why this thing is rare is because it is very demanding to grow in a demanding environment - about 800 meters above sea level, the temperature is between 28 and 36 °C, and it is suitable for growing in hot and thunderstorms. The soil where it grows is black on the surface and yellow on the inside. The growing season is from May to July every year. Its external characteristics are: the contact between the canopy and the "feet" is small, and the "feet" are as large as duck eggs. There is a strange fragrance, hence the name "big foot incense". There are several colors of black, yellow, and black, and black is the most fragrant. The most important thing is that under the current technology, it is still not possible to cultivate artificially.
As for Sanqing Fang, it is a local drink in Youxian County that clears heat and lowers fire, and the main raw material is white fungus, so I don't need to say much, I'm going to start!
I sandwiched a few pieces of Wujiang fish in a row, "Cool!" It's spicy and delicious! I exclaimed.
The stallion was nibbling on the ribs in the wild mushroom soup, and when he saw the delicious food I ate, he couldn't help but eat a piece of it, "It's delicious, but Master Ma's nose can't stand it, you can eat it yourself." "The stallion is not sensitive.
After more than ten minutes, we had almost finished eating, and we settled the bill with the boss, planning to sit down for a while.
I drank the sweet and delicious Sanqing Fang, looking at Youxian in the night, but I was wondering where the Apeng Valley was!
"Rumble! Chirping~! "Suddenly, a farm tuk came speeding up and stopped outside the outpatient clinic of the county hospital.
"Doctor! Emergency! Soon, an uncle dressed as a mountain man was carried off the tricycle by a nurse and taken to the emergency room.
Kindness? There was a lot of excitement to see, hula all of a sudden, people from other tables gathered around, and of course the stallion and I were ready to go over and have a look.
When we walked out of the Tujia restaurant, we saw that the electric three-wheeled driver was parking his car in the parking space, surrounded by seven or eight people who were "enthusiastically" asking about the situation.
"Hey, today I and my old man (it turns out that he and the uncle are father and son) must not Mo Mountain to collect medicine, because the whole day did not get good medicine, so we went to the depths of the mountain, and then we found a cave that we have not seen, my old man shouted that I was guarding the medicine to collect, he cut first to see a ha, when he entered the cave, suddenly pulled the live umbrella (lightning), the sound of thunder is getting denser and denser, I called him Mo into the cut, he did not listen to the ancient to cut. After waiting for a while, I heard him shouting loudly inside: 'Baby, we have made a fortune, there is gold here!' He said here, I'm getting sick.
"Then why did he become the way he is?" I finally couldn't help but interject.
"Oh, if you want to know, don't criticize (don't talk nonsense)!" The driver was not happy.
"If you want it, I'm sorry big brother, you go on!" I want to keep listening.
"I heard the old man say that there is gold, and my heart is still happy, and also, this is comfortable! Who knows that he didn't have a comfortable minute, he ran out of the cave like a ghost and shouted to me to pull him up quickly, looking at his appearance must have been blackened by something to the pillar (frightened), it was raining at that time, I called him to play an umbrella and didn't listen, pulled up a trip and ran out of the mountain, and when he got home, he went to sleep, and then he suddenly woke up, threw something at the top of the house, caught someone and bitten, I had no choice but to send him to the hospital. "The driver's brother is finished.
"Is the patient's family there? Hurry up and make up for a number! The nurse's voice came.
"It's coming!" The driver's eldest brother locked the car and ran in.
When the other people who watched the excitement saw the driver enter, they all listened to a story and dispersed.
I looked at the stallion for a while, this seems to be a clue that cannot be missed, Kuanbo said, Momo Mountain can lead to the Apon Valley, in that cave, there are strange.
"Go in and ask the uncle?" "Gotta go!"
We followed the driver and got outside the emergency room. "What do you want to do?" When the driver came back after paying the fee, he saw that we were following up, and it didn't look like the people who watched the excitement, so he asked us vigilantly.
"Big brother, don't be nervous, I'm just curious, as soon as this curiosity comes up, I want to know everything, otherwise I won't be able to sleep at night." I took out two hundred-dollar bills and stuffed them into the driver's hand. "You must be tired of sending your uncle over so far away, a little mind, buy something to eat and drink some water, I want to wait for the old man to stabilize and ask him a few questions before leaving, okay?"
"That's okay." The driver agreed.
At this time, a doctor lifted the curtain at the door of the emergency room and walked out, and the driver hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Doctor, what is the problem with my old man?" ”
"It should be overworked, and I have some hallucinations in the claustrophobic environment of the cave, and I will be fine if I infuse some glucose to replenish the electrolytes." The doctor said it was a minor problem.
"your M's fart! Lao Tzu is either hallucinating, or seeing gold! From the emergency room came the angry voice of the old man.
"Yes, yes, you see the gold, go get it when you're ready." The doctor smiled, shook his head and left, he has been practicing medicine for many years, and he has seen many patients like this who have hallucinations in the dream of making a fortune.
"Old man, sit down, we'll cut back after hanging the water, these two are enthusiastic people, they want to know what you were hacked by at the head of the cave." The driver gave me and the stallion an introduction.
"I told them that they didn't believe it, and you want to know?" Uncle has a feeling of meeting a soulmate.
"Yes, uncle, just tell us, we must believe you, otherwise I won't go to sleep so late and come to the hospital to play?" Said the stallion.
"The cave is black and black, I took a close look with a torch, and found that there seemed to be some golden things in front of me, and I walked around and looked, or yo, they were all jars of gold, yes! Definitely golden! "Uncle is very sure.
Hearing this, I was basically sure that what he saw was either an ancient tomb or something like an altar for the Miao people, so I couldn't help but blurt out and asked, "Uncle, do you know where the Apeng Valley in Miao Jiang is here?" I asked suddenly.
Uncle was stunned by my question: "There are many Miao villages around here, but what are you talking about, haven't you heard of it, Miao Jiang?" Did you read a novel and look like a bag? I've been digging medicine in Momo Mountain for decades, and I've never heard of it. "Uncle despised me with his experience.
"Uncle, are you still going to that cave?" The stallion asked.
"You want claws? That's what I found when I was digging for medicine! "The uncle's vigilance is very high, and it seems that the vigilance of the driver's eldest brother is also inherited from the uncle of medicine picking, and it is indeed biological.
"Honestly, I'm an antique dealer in Shudu, if you want to go to that cave again, uncle, we want to go together, if there is something suitable, the price is negotiable, even if you don't want to sell, I can also identify it, this is your territory, I don't think the two of us can do anything bad?" I said.
"Such a place." The uncle and the driver's eldest brother discussed in a low voice for a while. "If you want, I can take you there, but the road in the mountains is not easy to walk, if you have any accidents in the mountains, I and the baby will not have to pay for it!" The uncle agreed.
“OK! Let's leave a contact information, my name is Ouyang Yilife, he, his surname is Ma, just call him Ma or Brother Ma, I've been talking for a long time, I don't know what to call uncle and big brother? "Oh, my name is Huang Daping, it's okay to call me old Huang Tou, my baby's name is Huang Shengli." We exchanged mobile phone numbers, "Uncle Huang, Brother Huang, when you enter the mountain, just call us in advance!" Even if you don't find anything in the end, you will be paid, and it will be regarded as the tour guide fee for sightseeing in the mountains. "Yes! We'll let you know when we go! ”
Okay, it's negotiated! Now there is a clue to go to the Apeng Valley in Miaojiang, and the stallion and I returned to the hotel in a good mood.
"Ouyang, tell me quickly, what could that be? Is it possible to find the Apon Valley? The stallion asked curiously.
"Have you ever heard of the Miao King Golden Vase?" I asked.
"I know why I'm still asking you, you're the Little Dragon King, the new generation of inverted bucket planning director, hurry up!" The stallion urged.
"I once read an ancient book, which records: after the death of each generation of Miao King, will cut off the ears, put in the gold bottle, hide in the cave, every time the king's death day, take out the gold bottle from the nearby cave, here to carry out memorial activities, if the cave is the place to store the gold bottle, it is like the king's tomb, its location must be very secret, and only the successor Miao King knows the location of this secret cave, in order to prevent future generations from discovering what the location of the gold bottle is, the first batch of people will be sent to store the gold bottle, After the burial was completed, a second group of people was sent to kill the people who knew the location of the cave, and after they were killed, the location of the cave would always be a mystery. I muttered.
"And what does this cave have to do with the Apeng Valley we're looking for?" The stallion asked.
"Haha, the big stallion asked the key, I don't care too much about the golden bottle or something, what I care about is that cave or near the cave, there is no passage, because there are descendants in the ancient books to note that behind the cave where the golden bottle is placed, it is likely to be the legendary Miao Wang Village, I think, will that be the Apeng Valley we are looking for." This is my inference.
"Most of the time eight or nine are not far from ten! It's okay now, I'm worried about how to find that Apeng Valley, there is nowhere to find it when I step on the iron shoes, haha, the immortal tombs have all been poured down by us, what other tombs can't we fall? The Golden Silkworm Gu is stable! When we rescue Old Man Ouyang, we will have a good idea of how to clean up that dark shark! Kindness? My day, who is outside the door? The stallion suddenly shouted.
