Chapter 320: A Copper Chopstick
Hua Qinan's father heard Hua Rong say this, stood up with a snort, and scolded Hua Rong angrily, telling you not to go to such a dangerous place, but you don't listen, once Haizi breaks the embankment, it will be too late to run!
This sudden scene made us not react, what is the bronze thing that Hua Rong is talking about, and what is the Haizi in their mouth?
The old buttocks were a little excited, and he immediately asked what the bronze thing was, where was it found, not far from here?
But Hua Rong didn't answer, he was frightened by his father's roar, but he was at this age when he didn't know the height of the sky, his eyes were full of a hundred unconvinced, as if to say: I'll go, how about it! I'm already an adult!
I gently touched my old buttocks and signaled him not to be so anxious, their father was most anxious about the child in front of him now, and he didn't care about our business at all.
Although Hua Rong didn't refute, he twisted his neck and puffed, how could his father tolerate it when he saw it, he raised the cigarette pouch in his hand and was about to hit him, but fortunately he was stopped by Hua Qinan, and the old man gave up.
Their mother hurriedly pulled Hua Rong closer to the inner room, and we all comforted the old man not to be angry, the boy is more or less disobedient at this age, and he can't beat it, so let's educate and educate more.
Hua Qinan's father sighed and said, I'm not afraid of your jokes, the two children have been disobedient since they were young, especially this sister, who has to go out to wander, that Hua Rong is even more unscrupulous at home, and from time to time he says that he wants to learn from his sister, and he has to go out to break through.
Hua Qinan lowered her head in shame after listening to her father's words, if it wasn't for her leg injury, maybe she wouldn't have understood her father's deep love.
Hua Qinan's father was a teacher after all, and he was still knowledgeable, so he adjusted his feelings a little and said to us: "The Haizi that Hua Rong said is actually a dammed lake formed in the mountain after the earthquake. Many of our older children often go there to play, and Haizi is too dangerous, so adults discipline their children strictly. β
When I heard him say this, I realized that there was also a dammed lake here. A dammed lake is a lake formed when rocks fall into a nearby riverbed during an earthquake landslide and mudslide, blocking the river. Where there is a dammed lake, the geology is very poor, once the structure of the dammed lake is scoured, dissolved and eroded, it is possible to burst the embankment in an instant, and the large amount of water will pour out in more than ten seconds, which is devastating for the area where you swim.
I asked the old man, isn't it very dangerous to live here, this village may be flooded every day, but the old man said that since the earthquake, a lot of dammed lakes have formed in this mountain, and there are a few small dammed lakes that have slowly burst by themselves, the speed is very slow, and there are few large ones, and the state has long arranged staff to carry out manual excavation and blasting and drainage there, slowly lowering the water level and reducing the possibility of the dammed lake bursting.
He also said that the people in the stockade have lived at the foot of this mountain for generations, and if they choose one between evacuation and danger, they would rather be flooded, which is a complex, people can have no home, but they can't have no roots, and this village is their roots.
Hua Qinan also persuaded his father, and the old man was no longer angry, even if this matter was over. In the evening, we gathered around the table for a simple meal, and we didn't eat much, because we still had things on our minds.
After the meal, I asked Hua Rong where the place you mentioned, and Hua Rong told me that just behind this big mountain, there is a canyon, and it is said that the canyon is only relative to the mountain, but its height is still higher than that of their village.
This canyon is actually washed out by a tributary of the Malco River, this tributary is not very large, but after the formation of Haizi, it is different, the huge lake is putting pressure on those gravel all the time, once this balance is broken, the power is simply terrible.
The place that Hua Rong said, just in the dam lake swimming, on the side of the canyon, when he and a few older children in the village went to play there, they found that one side of the canyon seemed to collapse, they went over to take a look, it turned out to be a big hole in the stone wall of the mountain, those children walked around the hole for a long time and no one dared to go in, and then a slightly older child walked in, picked up a nail-like thing from it, very heavy, and then a cold wind blew out of the hole, and the sound was like the devil whimpering, the frightened half-grown children all ran back.
"And how do you know it's bronze?" I asked.
Hua Rong said that the boy thought it was fun when he came back, but there was too much rust, and he used terrazzo to rub off the thick green rust on the outside, and when he exposed the metal inside, he found that it was yellow, and they guessed that it was copper. After they came back, no one dared to tell their families that they had gone to that place, because it was a very dangerous place, but Hua Rong said it in front of his father because he was so strong for a while.
In this way, it seems that there is something in this mountain, and Shanzi asked me, although there is a bronze thing, but it cannot prove that it is the place we are looking for, now we must first find the child, and then look at the thing in his hand.
Hua Rong didn't want to go to him, Shanzi's eyes rolled, he took out the pitch-black horn and shook it in front of Hua Rong, "Boy, if you can take us there, and let us see that bronze thing, this horn, I'll let you play for a while." β
After all, Hua Rong is still young, and he likes it very much after seeing the horn, he stretched out his hand while agreeing, and Shanzi grabbed his hand, and repeatedly told him not to hurt anyone, just play for a while. Hua Rong took the horn, he was not used to it, but he also fulfilled his promise, and he took us to find his little friend.
When the child took out the bronze, our hearts were half cold, it was indeed bronze, about thirty centimeters long, but it had been polished beyond recognition by the child, the rust on it was gone, and it was specially polished, shiny and bright, I didn't know that it was a copper chopstick.
"You see, there's no ornamentation on it at all, no clue at all." I returned the brass chopsticks to the boy and thanked him.
On the way back, Shanzi took back the horn in Hua Rong's hand, he inserted the horn back into his waist, and deliberately put on a lost look and said to Hua Rong: "Sue sΓΉ, you are okay this time, but this information is useless to us, if you want to play with this thing again, then you have to use your brain, think about how else you can help us." β
When Hua Rong heard Shanzi say this, the rebellious energy came up again, he glared and said angrily: "What's this, it's a big deal, I'll take you to the canyon in the mountains!! β
