Chapter 11 The Drunken Adventures of Gong Lao Qi
Feicheng is located in the middle of Ludong, the west foot of Mount Tai, is rich in resources Qilu treasure land, famous at home and abroad the hometown of fat peach, known as the "gentleman's city" in ancient times, the hometown of Shi Shengzuo Qiu Ming, the place where Shangsheng Fan Li settled after the most reluctant, the reception staff of the Ludong Religious Bureau is well-off, his hometown is in Feicheng, so along the way, I told us a lot of historical allusions about Feicheng, and heard anecdotes.
However, as far as we are concerned, the most interesting is a legend about the Buddha peach in Feicheng: it is said that the origin of this peach orchard turned out to be the core of the peach in the sky, which was developed, and it goes without saying, anyway, it involves the Queen Mother and the Jade Emperor Lao'er, of course, such a statement is probably a local marketing strategy, so that their own products appear to be high-end and high-grade.
Feicheng peach tree cultivation area has exceeded 60,000 acres, is currently the largest peach orchard in the world, well-off regretfully tells us, if it is April or September to come, you will be able to see the peach blossoms all over the mountain, red and pink, white and charming, full of this world, there is a pleasing to the eye, and at this moment, although there are also fat and juicy fat peaches to eat, but in terms of vision, but also lack this scenery.
However, we only came here this time, and we only did Tao Yuan, and as for the rest of the obstacles, we didn't care very much, after all, although the beautiful scenery was good, we couldn't eat or drink.
We exchanged views with Lin Qiming before we came, and since he is currently trapped in a mysterious wolf pack in Gaomi, let us know the person from the source, and let us go first.
After arriving at the location, we followed the address to find the past, in a small mountain village called Sun Zhuang, found the first villager to meet Lu to see this matter, this person's surname is Gong, the name Zuo Ping, the seventh in the clan, the villagers are called Gong Lao Qi, called for a long time, but forgot his name.
Because the news turned a few corners, Gong Laoqi didn't know us. He has a few acres of fruit groves in his home, and now he is beginning to hang fruits, it is a busy season, at noon we came to visit with gifts, and the neighbors told us that Gong Lao Qi went to his own fruit forest to fight insects. We asked Xiaokang to look at the car, found a half-grown child hanging around in the village, stuffed a Grandpa Mao, and asked him to take us to find it.
The bear boy dragged his nose and led us to the forest in the mountain behind the village, stood on the ridge and pointed forward, saying "See, the man in the blue labor uniform is Uncle Gong."
After the child finished speaking, he turned around and ran, we walked down the steep slope, and saw a man in his forties from a distance, with a thick beard on his lips, carrying a pesticide box to make potion, and a peach tree was neatly lined up, the branches were heavy, and the red or green fat peach was growing happily. We shouted "Gong Lao Qi" from a distance, and the man answered, raised his head and faced us.
Seeing that I had found the main master, I walked forward with the miscellaneous hairy trail, arched our hands, and then began to build a relationship.
These seven aunts, eight aunts, friends of friends, friends, friends...... Many relationships were wrapped around the mouth that could bring the dead back to life, and they suddenly became a lot closer. After learning about our intentions, Gong Lao Seventy was very surprised, saying that this thing is really a ghost, in the past, when I told others to listen, they thought that my brain was in water, why have three groups of people come in the past two weeks, all to inquire about the news, are you reporters, or who are you?
"Two groups of people?" Hearing Gong Laoqi's words, our hearts couldn't help jumping, knowing that what Lin Qiming was worried about finally came.
We were surprised, but we didn't show anything on our faces, lying that the two of us were freelance writers for the journal of the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, and we liked to listen to strange things, and we actually came here to find materials.
Gong Laoqi was stunned for a moment, and said that it was not the kind of "Wang Gang Tells Stories" that was performed every day on TV?
The two of us were overjoyed when we heard this, and nodded busily, saying yes, yes, but we are presenting it in the form of words, which requires more concise and clear, and also pays more attention to interest and knowledge...... After such a flicker, Gong Laoqi did not have the rustiness of the first meeting, so he simply put down the pesticide box and took us to the small cabin by his fruit forest to enjoy the cool and drink tea and narrate.
Gong Laoqi told us that this incident happened in the summer of the year before last:
That day, at dusk, he drank a little wine, patrolled the forest alone, and saw a small beast running in the forest, jumping on the ground, although he didn't see it very clearly, but it was quite cute, so he chased after him, and wanted to catch it to see what was going on. The little beast was a bit like a squirrel, but it was a few laps bigger than the squirrel, and it was not slow to jump and run, and it kept running towards the back hill.
Gong Laoqi is almost five years old despite his age, but he is a strong-tempered barbarian, and he can't take care of it when the wine comes up, and he runs wildly, and he doesn't know how many miles he has run. He ran like this, and he was also a little evil at that time, he didn't know how to be tired, and he didn't know how to be afraid, and he only had that cute little beast in his eyes, which was simply stupid.
So over the mountains and mountains, walked a lot of strange paths, until the sky was dark, the moon bent the sky, the little beast was nowhere to be seen, he also walked around the mountains a few times, the strength of the wine also disappeared some, the cold in the night climbed up the back, then I felt a little scared, stabilized my mind, looked around, but I didn't know where I was.
When you squint, you can see that there are just peach forests all over the mountains, all of which are wild, not as neat as ordinary fruit forests.
There was a faint howl all around, like a ghost, like a wolf, Gong Laoqi, who was too drunk, was scared half to death, stumbling forward, I don't know how to go to a spring pool, where there are sparkling waves, fish are enthusiastic on the water, wild grass is overgrown, look at the scene, it seems that no one has come at all.
Gong Laoqi was also a stupid and bold character, otherwise he would not have chased after him here with the strength of wine, but looking at this unfamiliar environment and the strange sound in the forest, he was also so frightened that his legs trembled, and he found a peach tree not far from the edge of the pond and climbed up, sat on the branch at the top of the tree, and settled down a little.
If he had slept with the trunk of a tree that night, and had come down at dawn the next day to find a way out, there would be no story, but he was hungry in the middle of the night, and could not resist touching the peaches that had grown from the tree and eating a few. The peaches have just hung fruit, and they look a little green, but Gong Laoqi eats them in his stomach, but he feels very delicious, and the peaches he has eaten in the past are like urea soaked out of this, dull and tasteless.
He ate several in a row, but he felt a little hot all over his body, the corners of his mouth were red and peeling, and the skin on his arms and back was itchy.
He grows peaches himself, and he knows that there is a layer of peach hair on the surface of the peach, and if he does not remove it, he will have these allergic symptoms. The reason why he ate it raw just now was because he was surprisingly hungry in his stomach, secondly because the peaches were green and the peach feathers had not grown, and thirdly, because the forest was dangerous, so he didn't dare to go down the tree to the pond to clean, but he didn't expect his luck to be so inch.
Gong Lao Qi was on the road, so he didn't dare to eat anymore, and he didn't dare to go down the tree, but he just endured it, but the itch became heavier and heavier, his hands scratched the entire back, and all the blood on his nails was lost, but he couldn't stop it, and there seemed to be ten thousand small ants crawling in the bones.
After enduring it for a while, Gong Laoqi finally couldn't bear the strong itch, and when he saw that there was nothing abnormal under the tree, he turned over and got off the tree and ran to the pool to wash. Strange to say, the pool of water is cool and quiet, the tentacles are moist, and the allergy symptoms that made him extremely painful just now have been relieved a lot. Gong Laoqi's whole body was itchy, it was summer again, he couldn't help but take off the stinky undershirt on his body, jumped into the pool to wash, and halfway through the wash, he suddenly heard the sound of rustling in the grass, which startled him, and saw that there was nowhere to hide left and right, and the pool was not deep, so he squatted into the pool.
He squatted for a while in the pool, and there were many fish in the water, so he moved slowly to the edge of the pool opposite, and then slowly rose up.
It didn't matter what he was doing, but he saw something he would never forget in his life: four or five big black and fluffy creatures came out of the grass, and these guys were generally 1.7 to 1.8 meters - yes, yes, they were all upright walking, all black haired, and below the neck was a sturdy and muscular human, but above the neck lay a ferocious wolfdog-like narrow head, with canine teeth interlaced in the mouth, leaving a foul saliva that burrowed into his nose when the wind blew.
But Gong Laoqi was stunned, his body stiffened, and he didn't dare to move at all, those big guys came to Tan Shui's edge to drink, play and howl loudly, and Gong Laoqi took them to the corner of the waterhole and watched.
However, perhaps it was a coincidence, Gong Lao Qi, who was numb all over his body, didn't even dare to breathe, but he didn't expect a slippery feeling from the hem of his trousers, and then there was a long slippery thing that swam into his trouser tube, and then climbed up to the crotch, climbed into the crotch, and was trying to move towards his chrysanthemum door, he endured it for a while, and finally couldn't bear this humiliation and fear, reached out and grabbed it, and felt a fancy krait snake in a flower.
He was so frightened that he shook it hard, and just flew to the guys who were playing by the pool, and when he saw that there was suddenly such a person in the pool, those big guys also jumped, and when they saw it, they rushed up one after another. Gong Lao Qi was also blessed at that time, and he ran towards the old peach tree he had just sent away, wanting to climb to the tree along the original path.
He's fast, but the furry guys are ridiculously fast, so they're going to grab his trouser legs so quickly.
However, at the moment when Gong Lao Qi was about to die, a ball of brilliance suddenly erupted from the old peach tree.
ββWhen he said this, Gong Lao Qi's cloudy eyes were shining: "Guess what, what did I encounter?" β
