Fuxian Lake is located in the middle of the endless mountains, and there are fewer and fewer villages along the way, until most of them are inhabited by a few famous people.

Originally, in the seventies and eighties, all over the country was poor, let alone in the mountains, and all we saw were some earthen walls, and there were few brick buildings.

After arriving at Fuxian Lake, the three of us also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that this place was not deserted, but scattered with villages.

The driver of the black car dropped us off at a mountain pass, after all, there was no road in front of us. After seeing off the driver of the black car, the three of us each carried a large travel bag and began to walk towards the village below the mountain.

The village is not big, there are about dozens of families, and the whole simple village is faintly smoking at this time, and it should be time for dinner.

There is a long river in front of the village, I wonder how long it is and where it leads. In short, it can only be described by the word "long history", and the first feeling of the three of us is that this big river should be the legendary Fuxian Lake with the ancient city.

This village is very beautiful, everything is very real, the arrival of the three of us did not attract the attention of the people in the village, probably because they usually come here to some tourists or expeditions, so it is not strange.

The first thing the three of us did when we came here was to find a farmhouse to stay in, and it would probably take a long time to stay, after all, the exploration of the bottom of the lake was not a day's work.

Among them, the fat man of the sea even proposed, saying that whichever family has fragrant food, he will go to live in whichever house. I'm right when I think about it, what we came out to do was originally manual work, and if we didn't treat ourselves better, we might really be unable to say it.

Eventually, the fat man used his dog-like sense of smell to take Li Baqiu and me around for a while, and finally entered a courtyard surrounded by earthen walls.

Although this courtyard is not very large, it is enough to put up several mahjong tables. At this time, there was a young girl dressed in ethnic minority costumes picking fruits, and the house was already filled with the smell of vegetables. This simple scene, I don't know whether the fat man is looking for the fragrance of vegetables in the house or coming to the fruit-picking girl inside? Maybe it's both.

The alien girl who was picking fruits in the courtyard also noticed us, and when she saw us three strange men carrying large bags and small bags breaking in, she stopped her movements and asked in a puzzled voice, "Who are you?" ”

The fat man wanted to come forward to talk, but I saw that he might be scared of the little girl, so I hurriedly grabbed him, and then one stepped forward and said politely: "Hello, we are tourists from afar, and we hope to stay at your house for a few days." Of course, we'll pay you accordingly. ”

After I finished speaking, the fat man on the side did not forget to rub his index finger, thumb, and middle finger for a while, indicating that he and others would give a good reward.

The girl from the ethnic minority may have a cheerful personality by nature, she understood what we were saying, smiled and signaled, and then entered the back room next to her. There was not much time, and when she walked out of the house again, there was an old man with a cigarette stick next to her, who was looking at us curiously.

The uncle is about fifty or sixty years old, also dressed in a foreign costume, his body looks very tough, with a smile on his face, and he knows that he is a hearty and hospitable person at a glance.

Sure enough, after looking at the three of us, the uncle took down the cigarette stick in his mouth, and laughed heartily: "Hehe, welcome, welcome, we are the most hospitable." ”

The uncle happily beckoned the three of us to take off our backpacks, and at the same time instructed his granddaughter to prepare the meal.

In some conversations, we learned that most of the people living in this village are ** people, only a small part are other ethnic groups, and ** is Chinese as the mother tongue, so we don't have a lot of trouble communicating and can understand it.

The uncle's name is Mubarak, whose name means auspicious, and he is one of the few old people in the village. The girl who picks the fruit is called Hasna, which means beauty and purity.

The two of them are grandparents, and Hasina's parents have gone out to work, and they only come back every year for Chinese New Year and some special holidays.

Because of the arrival of the three of us, Uncle Mubarak specially asked Hasna to cook a few more dishes, and said that he would slaughter cattle and sheep to entertain us tomorrow, which made the three of us very embarrassed. In the end, the thin-skinned sea fat man took out a thick wad of banknotes and handed it over, and I wondered if he handed over the bride price for Hasina, which was too much.

Mubarak and his daughter have always been kind and simple, and they politely rejected the kindness of the fat man, and finally accepted only some of the rewards they thought they deserved.

The three of us were arranged in a wooden house, each with a bed, and the sheets and quilt covers were obviously freshly washed. We are not surprised at all by this, because there are many people who come here every year to stay in the hotel, so it is normal for every family here to have a few extra beds and quilts.

After the tea and dinner were full, the three of us did not want to go out and walk, but stayed in the room and discussed the next matters, and after everything was settled, we each lay down and slept beautifully.

The next morning, we were woken up by the beautiful Hasina, and when we heard that she had prepared a delicious breakfast of beef and mutton steamed buns, we suddenly fell asleep and got dressed and washed up.

When the three of us helped Uncle Mu finish setting the table, and Hassina came with the beef and mutton steamed buns that had already been cooked, the three of us started a wolfing for a while, and the two of us laughed heartily on the side of the meal.

After a full meal, the three of us also leaned on the chair and burped, I have to say that the beef and mutton steamed buns are too delicious, and they are made by such a beautiful girl as Hasina, so naturally we can't eat less.

Uncle Mu saw that the three of us were full, and he also came to Yaxing, who was chatting, and he smiled and asked: "Hehe, the old man, I also belong to people who are over half a hundred years old in the village, and there are many people who come here to explore, investigate, and play here every year, but I don't know which one the three of you belong to?" ”

"Play!"

"Adventure!"

"Investigation!"

The three of us rushed to speak for the first time, but each of us said something different, and obviously we didn't mention it in our discussion and discussion last night, and ignored it.

Of the three titles, I naturally say play, after all, this is a very common and extremely unobtrusive group; And Li Baqiu is talking about investigation, and I have to say that his appearance and age are indeed a little similar. As for the expedition that the sea fat man said, it should probably be the last thing the people in the village want to hear.

Seeing that the three of us didn't seem to want to tell the truth, Uncle Mu just smiled knowingly, and didn't want to delve into it more, "No matter what you're here for, it doesn't matter, as long as you're happy." ”

Uncle Mu said, knocked on the cigarette stick on the table, and then got up and walked towards the courtyard, while not forgetting to remind the three of us that there is something to find Hasina, and she will help us solve some problems that we don't understand.

Seeing Uncle Mu out of the courtyard, we also chatted with Hasina who cleaned up the table, and learned about some of the customs and human geography here.

It turns out that the long river in front of the village is the Fuxian Lake, which is not very deep, but it leads to the Pearl River basin and attracts many foreign tourists.

It was just morning, we naturally didn't stay in the house to cover our heads and take a nap, and excitedly pulled Hasina to take us around, and the first choice was undoubtedly Fuxian Lake at the head of the village.
