Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Modern Hermitage Village
Cars are speeding down the highway. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info From Nanning to Wuming take the highway about more than 20 kilometers, normal driving can be reached in 20 minutes, at night on the highway is less car, and we are in a hurry, so Xiaoxue to raise the speed very high. On the highway, Fan Lao woke up again, he took out his mobile phone and called Du Qi, and then guided us to drive to the foot of Daming Mountain, and then left the road up the mountain and walked slowly to the mountain along a dirt and gravel path at the foot of the mountain.
After about half an hour of walking, the dirt path had come to an end.
We had to stop the car. As soon as the car stopped, a child of eleven or twelve years old suddenly jumped out of the side of the road, dressed plainly, holding a flashlight in his hand, and walked to the car window.
Tie Ying rolled down the window, and the child looked into the car and asked, "Are you the ones who brought the Ninth Master here?" ”
We listened and said, "Not bad."
The boy said, "Come with me!" It was the Seventh Master who asked me to pick you up! I was his apprentice. ”
The four of us listened, quickly opened the car door, and slowly lifted Fan Lao out of the car and put him on the stretcher brought by the child.
Immediately, Hiroko and I lifted the stretcher and followed the child into the mountains.
After walking like this for about half an hour, we couldn't see the lights outside. All around were dense trees, and apart from the footsteps and breathing of a few of us, I heard the chirping of birds and animals in the mountains.
After walking through the mountains for about an hour, the kid led us to a cave. We followed him down to the cave, and beneath it was a pool of clear water.
At the water's edge, there is a wooden boat. The kid motioned for a few of us to get on the boat. When we were on the boat, he untied the cables, got into the boat, picked up the oars, and rowed, and the boat moved slowly. It turned out that there was another space in this cave, and it was extended all the way in.
I heard the child say, "Although the people in this cave know about it, few people dare to come in, so our lives have not been disturbed at present. ”
A few of us nodded our heads.
This child looks young, but he is very old in doing things.
As the boat continued to move forward, we only felt that it was getting colder and colder. And the space in the cave is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more forks, and we are only dazzled.
The child, however, seemed to know the waterways very well, and rocked his oars calmly, and the boat slowly passed through the various forks.
Kuanzi saw it and said: "I didn't expect that there is such a large space in this cave, these waterways go around and around, if it is the first time to enter, you must get lost." ”
Before he could finish speaking, we heard the sound of "rumbling" water on the right.
Hiroko listened and asked, "What's that sound?" ”
The boy said, "There's an underground waterfall over there, and if you fall down, don't even think about coming up." So if you get lost in this cave, you're likely to die. Every year, several explorers are washed under the waterfall, and their bones are gone. This is also the reason why this cave has not been developed until now. ”
A few of us couldn't help but be stunned.
At this time, I saw the child approaching the boat to the mountain wall, only to see him stretch out his hand and press on the mountain wall, "click", a stone gate turned out of the mountain wall, and the child drove the boat through the stone gate and slowly drove forward.
I saw that the waterway behind the stone gate looked much neater, and it looked like it had been dug out by hand.
Tie Ying asked, "You dug this waterway yourself!" ”
The kid nodded and said, "Exactly!" ”
This waterway is about 50 meters long, but at the end of the waterway, there is a mountain rock, and we are not stunned to see that there is no way out.
The boy took out a fist-sized stone from the boat, and struck it regularly on the stone wall a few times, only to hear a few loud "boom boom" sounds, and a square hole was opened in the rock. The hole was much smaller than the waterway we came into, just big enough for a small boat. The boy drove into the cave by boat, and after walking about 10 meters, it suddenly became clear that he had arrived in an underground lake.
I saw that around the lake, the lights were bright, and small stone buildings stood on the shore of the lake.
Almost as we passed through the cave, there was a loud "boom" behind us, and we looked back to see that the cave behind us was closed again.
At this time, we only heard someone shouting above our heads: "The little stone is back!" "We looked up and saw that the mountain wall behind us was carved into a stone chamber, and in front of the stone chamber was a small platform, and on both sides of the platform, the lights were on, and on the platform, there was a man standing, and it was he who was talking to the small stone.
The kid hurriedly replied and said, "Yes, Brother Aguang, you are on duty today!" ”
The man above us replied, "Yes, go quickly, the Seventh Master is waiting for you." ”
Little Stone listened and replied, "Okay! I know. ”
After that, he paddled the sculls with more force.
Kuanzi saw it and said, "It turns out that your name is Xiaoshi, you are not tired, or let me come." ”
Xiaoshi shook his head and said, "I'm not tired." What I have is strength. ”
Under the vigorous rowing of the small stones, the boat drove quickly in the lake and soon came to the shore. A few of us carried Zhao Ye off the boat, and under the leadership of Xiao Shi, we came to a stone house. This stone house was also carved directly into the mountain wall.
I saw an old man with a white beard and white hair, with a pair of boys, standing in front of the house with a smile on his face. When he saw a few of us, he greeted him and said, "You have worked hard! ”
Tie Ying said: "Junior Tie Ying, may I ask if the senior is the senior Du!" ”
The old man listened and said, "It's old decay! You don't have to say much, put Lao Jiu down first, and then go to rest. If there is anything to say, we will talk tomorrow. With a wave of his hand, the pair of boys beside him walked up, took the stretcher from me and Kuanzi, and carried Fan Lao into the stone house.
Du Qi smiled slightly, turned around and entered the stone house, leaving a few of us there a little overwhelmed.
Xiao Shi saw it and said, "Come with me!" I'll take you to the resting room. ”
We followed the small stones, walked on the cobblestone path by the lake,
The evening breeze was blowing in his face, refreshing, and Tie Ying couldn't help but sigh: "It's so beautiful here!" I really want to live here for the rest of my life! ”
Hiroko and I have never been interested in seclusion, but when we see the beautiful scenery here, we can't help but be moved.
By this time, the small stone had already led us to a stone house.
This stone house is also carved out of the mountain wall, and there is a small balcony on the second floor. The buildings here look a bit like caves in Shaanxi.
The little stone led us into the house, and when he reached out and pressed against the wall, the lights in the house came on. When we looked at it, the room was equipped with modern furniture such as sofas, refrigerators, and TVs.
It was a surprise and delight for the four of us.
Kuanzi saw it and said, "You live in seclusion, it's too luxurious." ”
Xiao Shi listened and said, "Although it is said to be a seclusion, you can't always live in a thatched hut and burn firewood." We call it keeping up with the times. The room is on the second floor, I'll take you up to have a look. ”
We followed the little stone up to the second floor, where there were two rooms upstairs. We opened one of the doors and went in to see two beds in the room, and the accessories in the whole room looked like a luxury business hotel, bathroom, air conditioner, water heater, bedside table, wardrobe, telephone, everything was available.
Hiroko looked at the phone on the bedside table and said, "Can this call be made outside?" ”
Xiao Shi shook his head and said, "Our phone can only reach the people who live in this village, and we can't get out from outside. This is to make it easier for the residents living in it to communicate with each other. ”
Kuanzi sighed when he heard this: "Such a secluded life, even if Lao Tzu is asked to live here for a lifetime, I am willing." ”
Xiao Shi smiled and said, "Let's go, I'm taking you to the kitchen and dining room." With that, he walked to the first floor.
It turned out that the kitchen and dining room were at the back of the living room. I saw that the kitchen was also equipped with modern cooking utensils, induction cookers, rice cookers, gas stoves, range hoods, etc.
On the dining table of the restaurant, several hot dishes have been arranged, such as white-cut chicken, braised fish, taro button pork, fried peas, wild vegetable soup, and a plate of fried peanuts. Seeing that these dishes were still steaming, several of us almost drooled water.
I only heard Xiao Shi say: "We just cooked these dishes for you, sit down and eat them while they are hot." ”
We were not polite at this time, so we quickly took a bowl of rice and sat down to eat. After the first bite of rice, I felt that the rice was fragrant and had a lingering aftertaste in my mouth. And not to mention how delicious these dishes are.
Although we had just had a meal at Fan Ye's house a few hours ago, the dishes on this table were quickly swept away.
After dinner, Little Stone said goodbye and went home.
After the four of us took a shower, we decided to hold the "Sixth Plenary Meeting of the Flying Eagle Detective Agency" overnight to plan the next step.
