Chapter 96: A Town on the Ancient Road

After New Year's Day, the country ushered in a second large-scale snowfall.

The heavy snow for three days has covered the stone town of Yazhou in silver, which is beautiful.

The town is one of the eastern starting points of the Ancient Tea Horse Road, built on the mountain, with a permanent population of 60,000, most of whom are ethnic minorities.

In ancient times, because of the inconvenience of roads, villagers often went out to wade on stones, so it was called 'Qualstone Town'.

In the past, marble and granite were abundant, and other proven minerals include gypsum ore, silver ore, lead-zinc ore, copper ore, iron ore, gold ore, jade ore, etc.

In the 90s, it was common to see horse and mule teams carrying stones down the mountain, but by 2000, the mountain resources had been exhausted, and such a scene was no longer seen.

Later, two more geological disasters caused by the destruction of mountains and forests left a painful lesson for the local area.

In 2005, the government cracked down on all illegal mining and quarrying, and formal enterprises were banned.

After 2008, most of the people who earned money moved out, and the residents of small towns who did not earn money returned to poverty en masse.

In the past three years, with Yazhou City's vigorous promotion of the initiative of 'rebuilding the Ancient Tea Horse Road and connecting the Silk Road', the town has taken off the hat of poverty-stricken areas.

The municipal government approved a special fund, and each family in the town received a subsidy of 100,000 yuan to rebuild the house.

The narrow concrete path has been widened and rebuilt, a large parking lot has been built at the bottom of the mountain, and the ecology of the mountain has been restored.

The original pothole area formed by indiscriminate mining and digging has been changed into an ancient road fishing ground, and the town collectively breeds freshwater fish, with an annual turnover of more than 10 million.

Last year, the number of visitors to the town broke through a new high, and this year it is even more popular.

Especially in the past two days, the heavy snow has just stopped, and it is a Sunday, and the number of people who come to relax and travel has increased explosively.

......

Two kilometers outside the town, the township road leading to the county seat is congested.

Tricycles, trucks, buses, and private cars lined up in long queues, blocking the intersection into the town.

In less than half an hour, the traffic at the scene returned to order.

Uncle Sansi drove his own small truck, humming the folk songs that have been sung through the ages, and walked slowly.

His son Dorjee is wearing a cowboy hat and holding his mobile phone to do a live broadcast.

Their family was originally a poor household in the town, with a family of seven and an annual income of only 20,000 yuan, but now relying on the family's farmhouse hotel, the annual income has increased more than ten times, and the eldest son has also married a daughter-in-law. The days are getting better and better, and the mood is naturally good.

Last year, his second son Dorjee did a live webcast, and he earned an extra 30,000 yuan, and at the same time added a lot of traffic to his hotel.

All these changes are thanks to his daughter Sansi Dolma.

Dolma is the only college student in her family and used to work in the city. Hearing that his hometown was going to engage in eco-tourism development, he hurriedly came back to talk to his parents and brothers, and applied for a loan to start a farmhouse.

After tasting the sweetness in the first year, they applied for expansion and opened a small hostel with ethnic characteristics.

Now Uncle Sansi is glad that he listened to his daughter's opinion.

"Dorjee, look at the one in front of you who is carrying a big bag and wearing military shoes, is it the guest last year. ”

Dorjee looked at the guide and suddenly smiled in surprise as if he had seen a good friend for many years, rolled down the window and shouted.

"Brother in front, get in the car and rest when you're tiredβ€”"

"There are beautiful women, butter tea, fragrant roast mutton, roast beef, yogurt, beer, and two pots at home. ”

Hearing the call, the man turned his head, and under the black baseball cap, he was wearing a pair of black sunglasses, which was Zhou Yang.

Five months of hiking, the experience of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, made him a different person.

With a bright bronze face, a stiff stubble growing on his chin, and an unkempt hairstyle, he is handsome and a little more mature.

The pickup truck stopped, Dorjee got out of the car with his mobile phone, and the camera in the live broadcast room was aimed at Zhou Yang.

"Let me introduce you to you, he is the big hero who saved my sister last year, the benefactor of our family. ”

"He was alone, facing a shotgun and five knives, his face did not change, and all six people were hit by him. Everyone says handsome or not!"

......

What he said happened in mid-November last year.

The cause of the incident was originally 'the emotional dispute between her sister Dolma and her ex-boyfriend', her ex-boyfriend Qiangba is also a young man in the town, the two have been in love for a year and a half, and later broke up due to personality incompatibility.

Qiangba got a shotgun out of nowhere, took his fox friends and dog friends in the city, and broke into the house with guns and knives that night to rob his relatives.

At that time, Zhou Yang happened to live in his house, and after seeing the situation, he took action to stop it in time, a set of dragon gossip palms, and five knife-wielding youths were beaten in less than half a minute.

Qiangba, who kidnapped Dolma, was so frightened that he woke up when he saw it, dropped his shotgun and ran away, but was finally caught by the police, and all six of them were convicted of felonies.

The incident was widely spread in the local area, and was reported on TV stations, Internet media, and public accounts.

And this incident is just a microcosm of what Zhou Yang has encountered in the past five months.

【Dorjee's live broadcast room】

"Little brother is so handsome. ”

"What's his name. ”

"Road to powder, road to powder......"

"I have his WeChat, send me a private message. ”

"Dorjee, I'll give you a gift of 2,000 yuan to entertain this handsome guy. ”

"Is he telling the truth? That's too powerful, isn't it?"

As he continued to introduce, the barrage in the live broadcast room increased, and Zhou Yang's handsome appearance and tangible temperament aroused the excitement of a large number of women.

Duoji is a handsome guy, but compared with Zhou Yang, he is a big difference in all aspects.

Some people also questioned Dorjee's words, but as soon as the barrage was issued, he was slapped in the face by a news link sent by some old fans.

In just two or three minutes, there were more than 3,000 more rewards in his live broadcast room, and the number of viewers increased by two or three thousand.

"I'm sorry everyone, my brother is here, I want to entertain well, and the live broadcast will be suspended first. Reopen at noon. ”

Saying that, Dorjee interrupted the live broadcast and gave Zhou Yang a big hug.

"Haha, I knew it was Brother Zhou Yang at a glance. ”

"My sister Zhuoma misses you, I'm afraid that you will be in danger on the road alone, I said that Brother Zhou Yang's martial arts are so good, the wolf is afraid of him when he sees it......"

Zhou Yang smiled and glanced at the goods on the body.

There are beer, liquor, vegetables, meat and poultry and other varieties, as well as two plates of 100,000 firecrackers.

"Business is good, why do you still buy firecrackers and hold happy events at home?"

Dorjee first turned over the car body, vacated the goods and said, "Isn't tomorrow a small year? We will also join in the fun, put a hang in the evening, and put a hang at noon tomorrow." Add some atmosphere. Come on, get in the car bro. ”

"Tomorrow's New Year? I didn't even pay attention to making dumplings at home at night?"

As he spoke, Zhou Yang grabbed the guardrail with his hands, his legs flicked over like a dragon and turned over to sit on the cargo hopper, and the weight of his whole body added up to more than 200 catties, which shook the small truck.

Almost didn't knock Dorjee out.

Uncle Sanxi in the car laughed and gave a thumbs up to Zhou Yang when he poked his head out.
