Now I found out that although Hou Zifeng is usually not very reliable, he is really not covered when it comes to chatting. He flipped the compliment at first, and then began to put it down.
"Brother Wang, it's the first time we've come here, and I heard that there are a lot of places of interest here, what do you have?" Hou Zifeng saw that Boss Wang's cigarette was finished, and then handed over another one.
Hearing Hou Zifeng's voice Brother Wang, he smiled even brighter, "We are here, let's talk a lot, in fact, there are not many, many places have very good scenery, relatively old, that is, we have a hanging village here." ”
When we heard about the Hanging Village, we were all curious, "The Hanging Village?" What is that? What a quirky name. I looked at him curiously.
"Hehe, Hanging Village, the most straightforward way to understand it is the village in the air." He smiled smugly.
"How can you be in the air?" Zhang Huanqing also asked puzzled.
"Speaking of the Hanging Village, it is magical, it is a village built on a cliff more than 100 meters high, with its back to the cliff and facing the canyon, forming a paradise that is alien to the surrounding world. Because the space on the mountainside is relatively narrow, the back of the house sits on a cliff rock, and a few wooden stakes protrude from the cracks in the rocks, supporting the whole village and hanging in the air, giving people a crumbling feeling. He took a drag on his cigarette and said slowly.
"Then how do people go up the mountain?"
"There is a main road in the village, which is paved with logs, one by one, and it is also suspended in mid-air. It's like an ancient plank road, and people used it to go up there. "He explained to us seriously.
After speaking, he mysteriously leaned in front of us and whispered to us. "There are some things that I have heard from my grandfather's generation, saying that the people of the Hanging Village have guarded a huge treasure for generations."
"Treasure?" As soon as Hou Zifeng heard that there was a treasure, he immediately became energetic.
"Well, according to legend, the people living in the hanging village are the descendants of a general in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, and they moved here to protect the four princes of Emperor Chongzhen, and it is said that the four princes got a map to record the location of his father Emperor Chongzhen's transfer of gold, silver and jewelry, and his subordinates swore to protect this treasure for generations, so they settled there." He told us mysteriously.
I scratched my head, "Is there really a treasure there?" Has anyone found it? ”
"I don't know, it's just handed down by the old man, but if you think about it, who is so idle and bored, building a house to live in on such a high mountain, there must be a purpose, right?" He looked at us earnestly.
After listening to his introduction, we were silent for a while, "Maybe it's really there." Hou Zifeng tugged at my clothes and whispered to me.
After nodding slightly, we gave Boss Wang some money and returned to the hotel. What we didn't know was that not long after we left, the girl we met on the train also arrived.
"Boss, what's the morning," Zhang Man was about to starve to death, and he was choked by those stinky and shameless men when he got up early in the morning, and now he has been walking on the street for so long.
"We have mixed cakes, yellow cabbage buns, mountain cakes and oil tea. You eat something. The boss still shouted enthusiastically.
Zhang Man thought for a while, "Let's have an oil tea, let's have a miscellaneous cake." ”
Once everything was ready, she began to eat. After eating, she was satisfied. "It's so full, it's delicious." After complimenting her, she turned to look at her boss, "Boss, it's the first time I've come to you, what good places can I recommend." ”
The boss thought for a while, "If you want to play, there are not many places in this season, and it is still too cold, if it is April and May, you can go to the north of Maying Village, where there is a Tianchi, which is one of the three major Tianchi in our country." ”
"Oh, so do we have any places of interest here?" Zhang Manyou then asked.
The boss glanced at her curiously, and then muttered in a low voice, "Why do people keep asking about this today." ”
Zhang Man, who had sensitive ears, heard the boss's words and asked curiously, "What's the matter, boss, has anyone come to ask you?" ”
The boss nodded, "Not long ago, three young people also came to ask me about this. ”
Zhang Man stomped his feet angrily, and was preempted by them, but after thinking about it, he felt a little wrong, could it be that they came here with the same purpose as themselves? "Then boss, just tell me, I'm going around to see the great rivers and mountains of our country, and I want to see what all the cultural relics and monuments look like."
After hearing this, the boss glanced at Zhang Man appreciatively. "Alright, alright, I'll tell you." As he spoke, he told Zhang Man all the legends and things he had just told us.
After Zhang Man listened to the boss's words, he put down the money and left in a hurry.
"Do you think this is going to be the place?" Hou Zifeng pointed to a map that he didn't know where to go, it was a map of Shanxi, and it was a map of the location of some places in Shanxi and the direction of the mountain range.
I pondered for a while, "It's possible, the legend can only be passed down if there is a basis, you think about it, the ancestors of the Hanging Village can't just go to great lengths to build the village on the cliff just for the good environment on the mountain, there must be some reason." ”
Zhang Huanqing nodded, "Well, I also think it's possible, there is such a group of people living in such deep mountains and old forests, if there is no purpose, no one will believe it." ”
"So let's go there and have a look? If it's okay, I'll ......." Before Hou Zifeng's words were finished, he was interrupted by a knock on the door.
It was so loud that it startled me. "Who!" Hou Zifeng shouted loudly. But there was still a knock on the door. "Damn, don't knock, I'll break the door in a minute." So saying, he ran to open the door.
The moment he opened the door, Hou Zifeng's face turned green. "Damn. You... What are you here for? ”
After hearing Hou Zifeng's words, I looked at the door, and the one standing at the door was the girl I met on the train.
I wondered, what did she come to us for? Is it because I offended her in the morning? Not really.
"Do you have anything to do with us?" I asked her politely.
She looked at me, "Without further ado, I know what you're here for, and I want to work with you." ”
