Chapter 99: Jinyan Village
At eight o'clock in the morning of the next day, everyone continued to hurry after breakfast.
Then I didn't take a regular car, I had to charter a van, because this county is still a long way from the destination.
The so-called Jinyan Village is quite good to hear the name, but it is really a remote mountain village.
After leaving the county, the scenery gradually becomes vast, the scenery of Hunan Province is famous for its good since ancient times, not only the well-known Zhangjiajie at home and abroad, the mountains and rivers in many places are very beautiful.
The topography is more complex, with hills, karst landforms, and some basins... The mountains are towering, and the green water flows forever... There are large green landscapes on both sides of the road, especially when the car drives onto the mountain path, the sun is not very dazzling at noon, but the air is very fresh, compared to the hustle and bustle of the big city, this feeling of being close to nature is much better.
Open the car window, the refreshing air flow makes everyone's mood peaceful, no need to deliberately look in a certain direction, everywhere is the scene, as if in the picture scroll, especially they set off early, some of the mountains have a faint cloud mist.
Looking down from the mountains, the gentle river is not wide, but it is intricately intertwined, flowing between the straight rocks of uneven height......
It's beautiful, but it's not good to drive a little bit ahead, because after getting here, it's already a mountain road, and the road is called a bumpy road... If you are riding an off-road vehicle like a Land Rover, it is fine, and the van is ...... Hey, that feels like I don't want to say more.
Although everyone had never been to this place before, Xuanxuan still did her homework, "Because there are many mountains and rivers in Hunan and Guizhou, and the terrain is complex, the traffic is not very convenient compared to the plain, and the funds required to build a road are far greater than those in the plain."
Therefore, in the southwest, in addition to the surrounding cities close to the provincial capital, there are still many remote and backward small villages. ”
"In fact, as long as there is a place with convenient transportation, it is basically gradually developed. … For example, the village of Jinyan that we are going to visit was very poor and ethnic minorities at the beginning, but after the road was repaired in recent years, it has gradually changed. In addition, some township and peasant entrepreneurs have settled in to make investment, and they are even more comfortable than before. If you had come four or five years ago...... That's called a miserable one. ”
Qi Yan felt the shaking and shaking of the car body, and asked puzzledly, "What kind of mentality did you say was the Yin card holder we were going to find?" From a world-class metropolis like Lushi, it has come all the way to this ...... Where birds don't, what are you pursuing? Don't... He saw through the red dust, and wanted to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests. ”
Yan Bo sat in front and said with a smile, "I'm afraid young people can't understand it, you at your age must be willing to live in a big city, it's best to live in the city center...... Let's mix it up all day long, a place like this....hiss~~~ Ouch, bite your tongue. ”
As soon as the car was upside down, he accidentally bit his tongue while he was talking..." A place like this is oxygen, and you can live at least five or six miles more than five or six miles between the mountains and forests! ”
Qi Yan really couldn't understand, and said disapprerovingly, "Maybe, maybe I will live a quiet life in such a small place when I get old, but then again, my requirements are not high, my goal is to live to be content when I am fifty years old, and I will suffer a lot if I live too long, especially when I am old... I can't eat, I can't play......"
Yan Bo looked back at him, "Huh... You post-90s dolls are a little scary~~"
At this time, even Ding Lingzi, who rarely spoke, silently interjected: "This is true... If a person lives a miserable life, then early relief can be regarded as a relief. ”
As soon as she spoke, everyone fell silent, for the philosophical question of the meaning of life, of course, everyone has their own ideas and concepts, which was originally idle and boring, and it was unnecessary to explore it further.
The driver master was also amused by the conversation between them, and talked with Yan Bo in front, "You guys are here for sightseeing, right?" In recent years, people have often come to this place, like an exploration bureau or a tourism developer...... In the past, Jinyan Village was indeed very backward, there were dilapidated low houses everywhere, but now it is much better, almost all the people in the old village have moved a place, built a new site, if it is tourism, mountaineering is still possible, hey, yes, I seem to have heard that there are hot springs! ”
Yan Bo also responded politely, "Yes, come to find an old friend, and come here to experience the natural scenery by the way......
By the end of the road, the road had become smooth again, and it seemed that the path near the village had been newly built.
The driver called, "Look, it's coming soon." ”
Everyone lifted their spirits and looked up, and in a low place downhill in front of the mountain road, they could already see several relatively dense newly built small houses, some of which were still halfway up the mountain, and at present, it was indeed not too remote.
When I finally arrived at the place, the fare was in the hundreds... But it's not as bad as imagined, at least some B&Bs still have small hotels, canteens and so on.
There are also some semi-finished small western-style buildings under construction, but they are not too high, most of them are three-storey.
There are two theories about the name of Jinyan Village, one is that after spring, there will be many swallows flying on the Tiemin River that surrounds the village, and the dazzling and not too sunny sunlight at dusk reflects the blue waves and golden light on the water surface, as if they were dyed golden together with those swallows with black feathers.
There is another theory that is more mysterious, in the past, when the village was still dominated by ethnic minorities, there was an old man in the Zhuang tribe who rescued two birds with bright yellow hair, which may not be swallows, but because the tail feathers are also pointed like scissors, so he thought that they were golden swallows.
The development of this small village is indeed much better than before, not only ethnic minorities, but also many people from other small villages have come to settle in.
Like Qi Yan, after they walked a short distance with their luggage, they also saw a red flag fluttering in the distance, it should be Hope Primary School or something, right? It's much better than what you see on TV in the real poor places where children have to walk miles to school every day.
They find a relatively clean B&B inn to settle down first, and then they will eat here.
The aroma of the farmhouse food is appetizing, the people in the small place are real, the things are very cheap, and the portion is sufficient, unlike in the city, ordering a plate of green pepper shredded meat is full of green peppers! I don't know if it's fried shredded pork with green peppers or fried green peppers with shredded pork......
Qi Yan, Xuanxuan and Ding Lingzi are fine, but Hao Dalong and Yan Bo are miserable...... The two of them can't eat spicy, and most places in Hunan Province can't do without chili peppers, even if they have said hello and put less spicy food, they can't get used to it, so they can only take two bites of rice with pumpkin clear soup.
There was a very humble dish on the table, a vegetable mixed with chili peppers, but it was not good-looking, like a pile of ordinary weeds, the leaves were as small and pointed as fingernails, and the taste was similar to that of bitter gourd, with a hint of spiciness.....
The boss said that this is a kind of wild vegetable that they have more characteristics here, the taste is very bitter, how to cook it is not delicious, but it is particularly clear fire to dispel heat poison, who has a fire acne, than to take medicine, directly eat this is more effective.
The name is not easy to pronounce in Mandarin, it is called "Juan Cai Miao", and almost every household in the village loves to go to the mountains to dig and eat, not so much food as medicinal food.
And because the effect of clearing the fire is no longer if it is cooked, it can only be eaten cold with seasonings, and the bitterness is heavier.
But outsiders are generally not used to eating, so a few of them basically didn't move.
While eating, Yan Bo inquired with the innkeeper here by the way, because he had already known the name of that person, and he was a foreigner, so it was very convenient to ask.
As soon as he mentioned He Yulong, the boss immediately had an impression, but while thinking about it, his face became a little weird...
Yan Bo and the others became nervous when they saw this expression...... Could it be that this person is no longer there or something has happened?
Really... This Murphy's Law is really overbearing, the more you are afraid of what will happen, the more it will happen.
The boss put half a cigarette on his lips and said in a local dialect, "Yo... You ask why he meets the dragon? It's been a long time since I've seen him... In the past, I was still doing some breeding in the east of the village, and I built a shed to feed the pigs, but then no one knew where to run. ”
