In this way, Cheng Xin took Ah Huang and went along the edge of the small river ditch towards the Troubled Stone Valley.

Follow this small ditch, which is the only way down into the rocky valley.

Because, if you want to go down to the rocky valley, whether it is in front of the village or in the east of the village.

Before descending the rocky valley, it was a downhill tidal flat, hundreds of meters long, with some sand and gravel on top and some scattered weeds.

And then, and then there was no then, and after a few hundred meters of slopes, there were cliffs tens of hundreds of meters high.

Although this cliff is not straight, it is not 80 degrees or 70 degrees, so there is no way to go down.

And down the small river ditch from the west, there is a long downhill, not too steep.

The slope of several hundred meters wide goes directly to the bottom of the valley, and the small river ditch in the village flows into the rocky valley from this slope, and there is no waterfall or anything.

Back to the small bridge in the village, walk along the small river ditch and walk a little more than a kilometer to the west.

Both sides of this direction are relatively flat, so they are basically paddy fields, hundreds of acres.

This is also the reason why the paddy fields in the village are all in the west.

Although the small ditch flows from the east, there are no paddy fields on the east side, mainly on both sides of the ditch, with grassland on one side and higher and higher slopes on the other.

The flat bottom is further inside, and if it is cultivated into a paddy field, irrigation is also a problem. ，

So except for two paddy fields next to the river, the others are either meadow or dry land.

That is, when there were many people, everyone planted some wheat and corn over there, or big rape to feed pigs.

After walking nearly two kilometers to the west, the mountain broke in front of me for about 100 meters, and the small river ditch finally changed direction, following the long slope on the right, towards the rocky valley.

This long slope is also saline, but a small river flows through it. There are a variety of plants.

These are the most lush vegetation places on the entire yellow slope.

It must be that the surrounding salinity has been washed clean by the water of the small river ditch.

Following this downhill and walking forward for six or seven hundred meters, Cheng Xin and Ah Huang finally came to the Rocky Valley.

"Ah Huang, don't run around, follow me.

Cheng Xin called Ah Huang for a moment, and then began to look at the surrounding environment.

What kind of environment is it around?

It's very simple, one valley, two stones, three sandy land, four weeds, five windy, and then it's gone, no, and there are small rivers and ditches that flow deep into the valley.

However, the water in the small ditch, as it enters the valley, becomes less and less.

The elders said that after a few kilometers ahead, the water of this small ditch formed a small lake of several hundred square meters. Then it was absorbed by the surrounding sand.

But this absorbs a bit of a lot, huh? I don't know if I can prevent leakage. Hahaha.

The whole valley floor that can be seen is like a forbidden area of life, and there are basically no animals in sight, and it may be a long time before you can see one or two insects on the ground.

Even on both sides of the ditch, there is only a little weed, unlike above, there are all kinds of small trees.

Troubled Stone Valley, Troubled Stone Valley, of course, there are many stones in it, with strange appearances and different attributes.

Some stones are so fragile that you can break a piece from them with a pinch of your hand, and even smaller ones can break at the waist.

Of course, there are fragile and hard, and there are stones, like granite.

Even if you chisel it up with an iron brazing hammer, you have to work hard to get the next piece.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Chengxin had a point of view, and he felt that maybe the legend was not wrong.

This place, in an unknown era, may be an ocean or a sea lake, or a salt lake of the Dead Sea.

You look at this sandy land, and those weathered stones that look like coral reefs, plus legends, so Chengxin has this idea.

After all, legends can't be groundless, right? For example, the Classic of Mountains and Seas, many of the things on it can now be found similar.

What's more, where is there a valley like a rocky valley, where the ground is all sand?

Moreover, this sand is salty, and the people of the village have been boiling salt in this sand for a long time.

The villagers drove oxen and horse-drawn carts, brought a few pieces of cloth and buckets, and not far from the small ditch in the valley, filled them with some water, and shoveled sand into them.

After waiting for about the same proportion, stir it, and then use a cloth to filter the water with sand through several layers of cloth to get some turbid salt water.

After filling a few buckets of salty water, the car drove home.

After slowly straining it with charcoal, it will get a relatively clear salty water, and then it will be boiled in a large pot.

When the water is dry, the bottom of the pot is a layer of salt.

That is, it is used to feed the livestock, after all, the cattle and horses need to eat salt, and there is no salt ore around the village for them to lick, right?

As for people, then no one will eat this kind of salt, they all buy iodized salt from the outside, after all, big neck disease is not a joke.

I heard that in ancient times, the village also organized people to boil salt and sell illicit salt.

But it's all small, and it's sneaky, for fear of being discovered by others. After all, in that era, people were not as good as dogs.

Later, with the liberation, salt was no longer valuable, and there was no longer salt boiling.

There are several other reasons, which make Chengxin have to guess in this regard.

Some experts say that in ancient times, the area around this mountain city was also in the sea, but with the change of geological landforms, this land was exposed to the sea.

In the mountain range of Chaoshigu Mountain under Chengxin, if you don't go down, you can go a few kilometers along the mountain, and there is a relatively low mountain.

It is a few meters lower than the lowest ditch in the village, and there are cliffs of several tens of meters outward, like a dam.

But the length is less than a kilometer, the width is also several hundred meters, and the top is bare, not even a piece of mud.

Then there was a large puddle at the bottom of the cliff, as if it had been hit by a waterfall, and now it was full of fresh water, flowing in from the upper reaches of the two mountains.

After all, in the valley between the two mountain ranges, there is also a small river ditch.

As for where it flows, Chengxin also used the current satellite map to check it, from the mountain city to your province, within the border of H province, then to G West Province, and finally to G East Province into the South China Sea.

No one has measured the total length, and the water flow is not very large.

In addition, they are all in remote mountain and forest areas, and no one pays too much attention to a small river ditch, so Chengxin, who is curious, checked it with a satellite map.

Back to the Troubled Stone Valley, this Troubled Stone Valley also has a name in the village, that is, Yin Yang Valley.

Why is there such a name? This has to be said from the special environment of Troubled Stone Valley.

In this rocky valley, four or five kilometers from the village down to the front of the valley, there is a mountain.

It is said that it is a mountain, but it is seen from the valley, and it is not as high as the small river in front of the village.

The mountain is very large, there are slopes on both sides of the mountain, and at the end of the slope, there is a cliff dozens of meters high, and the height is more than 100 meters.

This mountain almost divided the entire rocky valley into two valleys.

Fortunately, there is a wide area at both ends, which is not separated by mountains, otherwise there would be two canyons.

The widest part of the mountain is more than forty or fifty kilometers, and the narrowest place is more than ten kilometers

Not to mention the length, which stretches for more than 400 kilometers, and the overall area will reach nearly 10,000 square kilometers

If 10,000 square kilometers are converted into acres, then there must be at least 15 million acres, which is only a lot more

These are introduced in the encyclopedia, so Chengxin knows that this mountain is so big.

It's just a pity, although the land above is relatively flat, but it is mild saline-alkali land, and no fresh water resources have been found, so it can't be developed, otherwise someone will definitely develop here.

Besides, this is more than five kilometers away from the village recently, with a depth of more than 100 meters in the middle, and there is no technical bridge to build in the past.

Legend has it that a long time ago, some villagers thought that with such a big mountain, there were definitely good things on the mountain.

So I found the lowest place and climbed on the ground, so that I could find precious medicinal herbs or valuable things on it.

As a result, the villager almost died on it.

I took dry food and looked for it for a few days, but there was no hair except for some weeds that grew on this saline ground.

And this weed is still here and there, except for these, it's all dry land.

He hadn't even found fresh water, and if he hadn't finally chosen to come down before the dry food cubes were finished, he would have died on it.

After all, if you're hungry, climbing down isn't fun.
