Chapter 619: Go straight to Luchuan
Circle around the lake, pass by the fine condensation again, but do not stay, only spend the night in the three pagoda temple, and then go west.
The first three hundred miles are still a common scenery, there are relatively more people who can understand the official language, the temperature is slightly lower than the fissile but about the same, and there are many pedestrians on the road. After 300 miles, the scenery begins to change to the scenery of the plateau and high mountains, in the cold winter, the grass is yellow, the woods are bleak, the lake is so blue that it seems to be fake, and the snow-capped mountains are reflected in it. At the same time, the proportion of people who can understand the official language has decreased significantly, the common people are mostly local herdsmen, and even only a few aristocratic officials can understand the official language, the temperature has plummeted, and the number of pedestrians has also decreased significantly.
All the way to the border of Yunzhou and Dayan.
It is close to the snowy region and Yizhou.
Along the way, the most impressive thing is the lake.
All kinds of plateau lakes and streams, no matter how big or small, are like gems and jade belts on the plateau, each color is different, and no matter how clear and deep it is, it is unrealistically beautiful.
At the same time, the temperature also dropped sharply, and the occasional tea and horse merchant on the road was wrapped like a bear.
I almost found the feeling of walking in the Western Regions in winter before.
After seeing the scenery, I came back and turned south.
Winter is getting deeper.
However, going south is very different from going west.
The higher you go west, the colder you go, the lower you go south, the warmer you go.
The scenery along the road is also noticeably changing.
At the beginning, it is the transformation from the plateau scenery to the normal landscape, and when the transformation comes back, to the south, it is the transformation of the normal landscape to the tropical rainforest - the grass and trees on the side of the mountain road have become rich and unfamiliar to the naked eye, there are quite a lot of species, and there are vegetation at any height, and the stratification is not obvious, unlike the common mountain forests in other places, except for a few tall trees, that is, the grass that grows on the ground, there is almost nothing in the middle, it is empty.
There are often many ferns along the roadside.
Large trees often have tabular roots and aerial roots.
Even Song You felt novel, not to mention Sanhua Niangniang, who has always been very curious.
The three-flowered cat walks on the road, but whenever it encounters a strange grass that it has not seen before, it must lean over and smell it and take a look, but whenever it encounters a tall and strange tree, it must also turn its head and stare at it with wide eyes when passing by, until its head is twisted to a difficult point, and then take it back, and look at the new tree in front of it.
The weather is getting warmer and the trees are getting to know less.
It's like stepping into a new world.
But it's not all unrecognized.
There are at least three common tree slica girls.
Bamboo, plantain, sugar cane.
None of these three seem to be trees, though.
Yes, there are a lot of plantain planted here, and many of them look like they are wild, growing on the top of mountains or on the side of the road. Closer to the road basically do not see the ripe, most of them are picked by passers-by to satisfy hunger and hunger, but far away from the top of the mountain there are often ripe plantains, every day to rest and sleep, as long as you can see, Sanhua Niangniang will go over to pick, or go by yourself or call the jujube red horse to go together, pick to feed the Taoist.
There are people here who grow sugar cane.
And there are a lot of them, and there are often people who have a large area.
Sanhua Niangniang was so happy.
Many times the Taoist walked in front with a bamboo cane, and she also turned into a human form, walking behind with a cane, but it was not her small bamboo cane, but a long sugar cane.
Eat as you go.
Every time I tear off the cane skin, I don't throw it on the side of the road, but use it as a dart, find a random target, aim and throw it.
This trip to the south, it is also warm, there are snacks to eat, and you can play while walking, the small animals on the side of the road have also become rich, whether it is birds on the trees, squirrels, snakes on the ground, four-legged snakes and even mice, insects have also become a lot, you can easily find food, for Sanhua Niangniang, this is happy, second only to the sea and Lanmo.
"We have reached the southernmost county of Yunzhou, and we are almost close to the southernmost part of the land of Dayan."
The Taoist looked at "Ji Sheng", and then looked up at the surrounding scenery, and could roughly determine the direction, but he didn't know where he went.
In fact, I don't even know when I get out of Dayan.
"Whew!"
The girl took the sugarcane skin, aimed at a strange weed, and threw it away with a brush.
And there will be a sound on the lips.
The sugarcane husk swirled and hit the weeds, which were bent down and bounced up.
The girl nodded silently, as if satisfied, and imagined in her mind that the weed had become a great monster, and that the sugarcane skin she had thrown had become a divine weapon, and that she had already cut off the monster's head in the middle of the spin.
Then he took the sugar cane and brought it close to his mouth.
"Whew!"
Take another bite, with your hands and head, tear off a piece of sugarcane skin again, and repeat what you had done before.
She didn't seem to hear the words of the Taoist.
“……”
The Taoist looked up at the sky again.
The wind is light and the clouds are light, it is obviously a cold winter, but the climate is similar to the summer in Yizhou, but it is much cooler than the scorching heat, a swallow flies left and right in the air, free and easy.
It's actually eating.
Because of the climate, even in the cold winter, there are a lot of mosquitoes here, and there are many insects in the air, which is a delicious meal for swallows.
"Alas......"
The Taoist touched the neck of the jujube red horse, and as soon as he put it back into "Jisheng of the Earth", he heard a neighing in the distance.
"Moo......"
Long and clear, straight through the treetops into the sky.
The dense rainforest shook in the distance.
A herd of elephants walked out of it and strolled over.
“……”
The sugarcane skin in Sanhua Niangniang's hand, which was about to be thrown out, stopped in place, and she turned her head, looking at the group of elephants walking towards her with a white and delicate face.
The herd is not small, there are dozens of elephants, and the walk is very orderly, and at the front are the strong adult bulls, the mother and baby elephants are protected in the middle of the procession, and each elephant keeps a suitable distance from the other, coming from the rainforest.
Seeing the two people and horses on the side of the road, the elephant herd was a little vigilant, paused to observe, but only after a slight pause, judged that they were not a threat, and then continued to walk.
As the elephants got closer, the sheer size became clearer to the girl's eyes.
In comparison, don't say that even his own horses are very petite.
"Moo......"
The elephant made a sound and passed in front of them.
The Taoist walked aside with his cane, not afraid at all, nor revealing any fierce appearance, only looking at these passing elephants. Interestingly, as if you could feel his friendliness and sense the breath of nature in him, the elephants were not afraid of him at all, and when they passed by, both elephants and small elephants all looked at him.
The two sides looked at each other, as if they could communicate.
The girl also followed the Taoist to the side, looking up at these behemoths, but her eyes were more vigilant, and the vigilance was full of amazement.
The long tusks dangled in front of her.
He is not as tall as an elephant's half-legged height.
Slowly, the herd also moved away.
One side is friendly, the other side trusts, and completed a chance encounter that requires a lot of fate.
"Hoo ......"
Sanhua Niangniang breathed a sigh of relief, took the sugar cane, turned her head and said to the Taoist priest: "These elephants are so big, the small elephants are the size of horses......
"Didn't Sanhua Niangniang see an elephant in Changjing?"
"Not so much!"
"I see."
"And the elephants in Changjing have no teeth!" Sanhua Niangniang still exclaimed, "They're as big as monsters!" ”
"The world is big, it's wonderful."
"It's not fair that they grow so big and cats grow so small."
"Let's go......"
The Taoist retracted his gaze and took a step.
The girl hurriedly followed.
"Huh......
"Whoa, whoa, whoa......"
Eat two bites of sugar cane and slow down the surprise in your heart.
There is a small city in front of it, in the middle of the rainforest, on the banks of the big river, where most of the people live, although there is a government, but the local people are almost self-governing. Walking here, the Taoist was sure that he had really walked to the southernmost county of Yunzhou, but it was not Bu County, but it was called Dai County.
The people here are simple and welcoming.
Song You caught up with a family to marry and had a banquet, the locals like to eat insects, there is a hundred insect feast, and the Taoist also tastes a lot, which makes Sanhua Niangniang stare at him without blinking.
In addition, there is fragrant bamboo rice.
The selection is tender fragrant bamboo, which is mixed with glutinous rice with fruits, after cooking, the inner membrane of the bamboo will wrap the glutinous rice tightly, and the shell of the bamboo will be peeled off when eating, such as tearing the shell of sugarcane and like peeling the skin of a banana, revealing the glutinous rice inside, long and soft one, the fragrance of bamboo and the aroma of glutinous rice fruit are mixed, very delicious.
The most important thing is that when you eat it, you always feel that it evokes the memories of Song You's childhood in his previous life.
In addition, due to the hot weather here, the appetite is not good when the weather is hot, so I like to eat sour mouth, which is very suitable for Song You's appetite.
After staying here for a few more days, calculating the time, the cold winter was almost over, and the Taoist people hurriedly set off and walked along the line south of Yunzhou to the other side.
Go to find Bu County, which is also in the south of Yunzhou.
Out of Dai County, it is Bu County.
Abo-gun is no longer a rainforest, but you can occasionally see tropical plants, such as the combination of Nusa and Dai-gun, and the temperature is slightly lower than that of Dai-gun, but it is just as warm.
After about two days' journey of about two hundred miles into the county, the swallow flew from the sky and told them that he had found the red river. Immediately, under his guidance, it didn't take long for the Taoist and his party to come to this red river.
"That's ...... so"
The Taoist looked at the river and smiled.
He thought that the river would be red, so that he could raise unique red rice, and he thought about what the reason would be, but the river water was still ordinary river water, even very clear, but there were some fine sand in the river, and these fine sand showed vermilion, which made the river water also look red.
The water rushes down and goes straight to the road.
