Chapter 191: Xanadu
Because it has only been snowing for a few days and nights, the sky and the earth are snow-white, whether it is a mountain or a field, a birch forest or a cao stack, all of them are like a thick white quilt. γI want to seal the sky without pop-up ads to read. Only the pine trees stood in the white snow, swaying with the harsh northwest wind, and making a sharp and piercing whistling, as if they were contempt for winter. The streams that used to meander in the fields were also completely frozen, and when they climbed on the ice and looked down, they could see some small bubbles fixed by the immobilization technique, large and small, one after another, like strings of pearls embedded in the water.
Zhao Heizi drove his jeep with anti-slip chains on the tires and galloped on the white road, and he had been driving for more than an hour. But from time to time, he still observed An Xin sitting in the back from the rearview mirror in surprise.
An Xin didn't pay attention to him, just opened the window, and enjoyed the rare snow scene outside the window. After a while, Zhao Heizi couldn't help it anymore and said, "I said big sister, don't you know it's cold?" β
Zhao Heizi spoke, so that Li Yuanhao, who was sitting in the co-pilot, couldn't help but glance back at An Xin, and saw that she was only wearing a T-shirt and a small leather coat in the weather of minus twenty or thirty degrees, and now the northwest wind was blowing with the window open. He couldn't help but ask on behalf of An's mother: "Where are the waterproof cotton clothes, waterproof gloves, and waterproof cotton shoes that I said?" You can't just bring nothing, can you? β
An Xin said indifferently: "It's so cumbersome to wear those things, I also brought them to reassure my mother, and I stayed in Hu Lei's dormitory yesterday." I don't want to dress like a stupid bear to climb the mountain, how uncomfortable is that? Look at the little leather coat and leather on my body, it's not the same, it's windproof and waterproof. β
"Can that be the same? My aunt and grandmother. If you are frostbitten, how can I explain it to Aunt An! Li Yuanhao complained with a headache.
"I really don't feel cold, I don't believe you touch my hand." As she spoke, she handed her small, soft hand like a ball of nephrite. Li Yuanhao touched it, and it was really soft and warm, and he didn't feel cold at all.
Because An Xin has closed all the pores of her body to ensure that the heat in her body will not be dissipated. In addition, the energy vortex in her dantian had been emitting a stream of heat to balance the temperature inside her body. So whether the outside world is hot or cold has no effect on her.
Li Yuanhao sighed and said with a wry smile: "Unexpectedly, I still look down on you, you are stronger than I thought." β
And Zhao Heizi, who was driving, couldn't help but think of what he said when he wanted to stop An Xin from going up the mountain last night, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.
In fact, An Xin also had such an idea because of Zhao Heizi's words last night, if she wants to find someone to take her up the mountain, she must show enough strength. Otherwise, if you are just an ordinary girl, most people will refuse such a request. Because no one wants to get into trouble for no reason.
After a two-hour trek, the destination was finally reached. It is a small mountain village with only about 10 households, and it is very quiet because it is far away from the hustle and bustle of the crowd. In winter, the countryside looks a little dilapidated because of the lack of greenery, and because few people come out of the warm rooms, even the hounds hide in their dens and refuse to come out, so they are very deserted.
At the end of the hill in the village, there is a two-storey wooden house standing there, which is not in front of the back, and it is far away from the other houses in the village, and it looks very eye-catching alone. The wooden house, framed entirely in oak, stands on a stone foundation, and its faΓ§ade is covered with horizontal or vertical, or oblique crossings, composed of wooden beams of varying lengths. Wooden beams zhijian used bricks to build the walls. Two black chimneys stretched out to the sky on the roof, and a tall wooden fence enclosed the outside of the hut. The wooden house looked old, and the exterior walls were blackened and shiny.
Zhao Heizi said to the wooden house, "The person you are looking for is there, so the three of them walked towards the wooden house together."
Zhao Heizi walked the snow-covered mountain road, and introduced: "Don't look at this small village, the houses are also dilapidated, but the residents here are very rich, and every household can come up with 1.8 million yuan to come up with no problem. Because their ancestors have been digging ginseng in this Changbai Mountain for generations, of course, the wild ginseng that is enough for the year is getting less and less, and it is not easy to dig, so they also take into account artificial cultivation, although the profit can not be compared with digging the real wild ginseng, but it is better to harvest ru stable. β
"Are there many young people in this village?" An Xin asked curiously.
"How can young people stay here, even if they make money here, it is all hard money, and life here is not only too lonely but also hard. They all like the hustle and bustle of life in the city, and they usually only come back to see it during the holidays. Those who live here all the year round are some elderly people who are reluctant to leave. Even if they make money, it is to buy a house for their children in the city and settle down, and they rarely use it for themselves. Zhao Heizi said with some emotion An Xin took a deep breath of the cool air, feeling the abundant aura of this heaven and earth, she said happily: "But I think this place is very good, just like a paradise." It's quiet, even the air is exceptionally clear. β
If she cultivates in such an environment with abundant aura, An Xin believes that her "Supreme Heart Sutra" will be greatly improved. It seems that even if the treasure is not found, this trip is worth it.
"But there are no steaks, diamond rings, fashions, or heels that you girls like. It's also only suitable for occasional vacations, and if you do want to stay here for a long time, you'll be crying in a few days. Zhao Heizi said teasingly.
"Not necessarily."
The three of them walked and talked, and soon came to the wooden house. Three outsiders suddenly came in the quiet village, which of course attracted the attention of the battle-hardened hounds, who ran out of their dens in unison, barking incessantly in the direction of the three of them, and making a threatening whisper of "woo-woo" in their throats.
Hearing the movement outside, the owner of the house also came out of the house. This is a man of about forty sui, not too tall, about 1.7 meters. He wears a sheepskin coat that is extremely warm and wears a felt hat on his head. But man is exceedingly thin, as if there were more bones than flesh. What does not match his height is his big feet like a small boat, and a pair of big hands like a pampas with green muscles exposed. Beneath his unkempt hair was a pair of shining eyes.
Zhao Heizi hurriedly beckoned: "Meng Dezi, quickly drive your dog away, don't bite the guests." Meng Dezi first glanced at An Xin's body, obviously stunned, and then he looked away silently, and said happily to Zhao Heizi: "Who did I say?" It turned out that Director Zhao was here, and you waited. β
He put his hand in his mouth and let out a sharp whistle, and the hounds stopped barking, and just kept circling around Meng Dezi's feet, sniffing around.
Meng Dezi ignored the hunting dogs, he walked straight over and opened the door of the wooden fence, and let the three uninvited guests in.
Zhao Heizi shook off the snow on his body as he walked, and asked, "How is Uncle Meng's illness, can you get out of bed?" β
Meng Dezi took the three of them into the house, and after sitting on the kang, he said with a wry smile: "How can it be so easy? The doctor said that he was able to pick up a life because of his physical foundation, but if he wanted to be able to get out of bed and move on his own, it would depend on his later development and the absorption of blood clots in his head. β
Zhao Heizi raised the bag in his hand and said: "I know it's not easy for you to go out once, so I helped you buy Yao for half a year, of course, I bought all the West Yao, and I didn't buy those Zhongcheng Yao." I know that the caoyao you dig up the mountain have a much better effect than the Zhongcheng yao sold in the yao store. β
Meng Dezi took the bag in his hand and said with a smile: "Thank you so much, Director Zhao, tell me how much it is, and I will give you the money in a while." β
"That's not in a hurry, let me ask you, have you been up the mountain in the past two days? Have you ever encountered those poachers? "Zhao Heizi is still very dedicated, and he asks about work as soon as he comes up.
Meng Dezi shook his head and said: "I haven't encountered people, but I have encountered the traps they dug a few times, all of them are the kind with small heads and big stomachs, and there are all sharpened bamboo strips buried in them. If any living creature falls, there will be no way out. And this group of people is also lacking in virtue, and they don't make any marks next to the trap, and even I almost fell in touch with their way. When Meng Dezi said this, he was also angry.
Originally, they relied on the mountains to eat the mountains and the water to eat the water, and there were no mountain people living in Changbai Mountain who did not hunt, and every household had hunting dogs and hunting rifles. It is understandable to go up to the mountains to hunt and eat at home. Moreover, those hunters dig traps, or release traps, they will make eye-catching marks nearby, in case other hunters come across it, unjustly injured or lose their lives.
But the poachers are different, they have no morality at all. Because a large number of rare animals need to be sold abroad or on the tables of rich people to make huge profits, of course, it will be in line with the idea that it is best to catch as many as possible. Therefore, most of the traps are hidden and vicious. There is not a single trace left, and the trap is also the kind of giant, with a very large bite force.
If this is touched by that hapless local hunter, it will also be a life and death. And now the rare animals on Changbai Mountain are becoming fewer and fewer under the frenzied hunting of these poachers, and there are basically no so-called wild beasts in the periphery of the mountain forest. If you want to capture it, you have to go deep into the mountains. This also cut off the livelihood of many hunters, so the local mountain people also hated these poachers.
Zhao Heizi slapped his hands on the table and said, "Hmph, don't let these rabbit cubs fall into my hands, otherwise I want them to look good." "To be continued
