This is really a bit confusing, and even Li Heng can't fully understand the meaning.

But this story is not bad to listen to, although it is a story with no ending, commonly known as "unfinished".

Since entering the Qinling Mountains, Li Heng has walked on the dense forests of the mountains and seen the natural vientiane of this majestic mountain range.

He did not go to those famous peaks, such as Taibai Mountain, Zhongnan Mountain, etc., but often walked through those remote mountains and old forests that are not very well-known and not well known to the world, and passed by some ancient villages hidden in the mountains and forests from time to time.

Whenever this happens, he will stop and stop, or meditate, or talk to the village elders.

After all, every old man is a living history book, although most of them have little culture, but after the vicissitudes of life over the years, decades of life accumulation have precipitated in their spirit, becoming a unique invisible "treasure".

And Li Heng excavated one treasure after another through conversation and exchange.

This is the third day of his arrival, this small cottage called Luotang Village is located on the mountainside of Donglian Mountain, there are only about 100 households in the village, most of the people have moved away, and the young people have also left the mountains to work in the city to earn money, and the old people simply plant some camellia and fruit trees to make a living.

Li Heng also wanted to talk to the old man about the story and anecdotes from the past, but the old man yawned with his slightly deflated lips and looked a little sleepy.

This is the case with the elderly, who can easily get tired and sleepy.

"Did you huh? If you want to have a bowl, let's have a bowl."

The old man slowly stood up and walked back to the kitchen next to his small courtyard, the back kitchen composed of adobe bricks and red walls was a little dark and rumbling.

He served a large bowl of dusty porridge made from an unknown crop, and ate it little by little with a toothless mouth.

"No, you can eat slowly"

Li Heng smiled and rejected the old man's kindness, and then got up and put his bags on his back again.

Walking along a stone-paved road, he walked through the village halfway up the hillside, looking at the old houses that were mostly uninhabited on all sides, some of the vegetable gardens were deserted, and some of the places that looked like they were once pigsty were now overgrown with weeds.

This place is really more remote and backward than my hometown.

The few things that could be considered modern were the concrete poles that crossed the village, and two old tricycles parked in front of the villagers' homes, the same ones with low-horsecount diesel engines.

These tricycles can be said to be one of the few vehicles in the village that can communicate with the outside, the mountain road is rugged and detouring, the road is far away, the ordinary battery can not carry it, if the fire stops on the mountain road, it will be fatal, and it cannot be pushed away.

And there are only one or two roads in and out of the village, and the bottom rammed earth paved with stones is on the surface, and it is re-corrected after each rainstorm, otherwise the road surface of soil erosion is not easy to walk.

This condition is also no wonder that the moving house is going out.

However, Li Heng did not take the usual road, the road out of the village and down the mountain was in the south, but he carried his big bag and walked straight to the woods south of the village.

"Hey! Go over there! ”

Someone behind him stopped him.

Li Heng looked back and saw a villager with a bamboo rake and a straw hat greeting him.

"Go to the old forest, it's very messy, it's not easy to leave, and the fox and the old wolf's head drop, dangerous!"

He kindly reminded him as he raked the grain drying on the ground.

"There are a lot of snakes and insects, and if you are bitten, you can be far away from the hospital."

"Thanks for the reminder, I have my own measure"

Li Heng thanked him, but he didn't stop and walked into the forest reflexively.

"Alas, it's hard to persuade you to find a dead ghost if you say good words~"

The villager sighed, lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth, and shook his head helplessly.

I thought to myself, how many are these?

There are some pampered people from the city who live too idle, and what nonsense is about embracing nature and returning to the primitive, drilling into these deep mountains and old forests.

The result? If you're lucky, the rescue team can still fish it out, and if you're unlucky, the rescue team will collect a corpse, and if you don't even find the corpse.

What travelers? The donkeys and horses are almost there, and one by one they are so desperate that they can't be persuaded to come back.

In his opinion, Li Heng is just another burden to the mountain rescue team.

And this "burden" now doesn't know that anyone thinks so much about himself, he has walked hundreds of meters in the forest, and this kind of old forest without any rules is very difficult to walk.

All the plants are growing wildly, desperately spreading their branches and branches to snatch the light and rain as much as possible.

So this pristine natural space is stuffed with a messy mess, if you are not careful, you will be scratched by unknown grass leaves, wood stubble, or on the neck, between the feet, in the trouser legs into some messy unknown hairy insects, scratching the body full of red beans itching.

But these are nothing to Li Heng, he walks here as if he is walking on the ground.

The so-called hardships and difficulties are nothing to worry about for him, and what he really cares about is observation and thinking.

Even if it's a thatch with special buds, a flower of a different color, or a caterpillar with strange antennae...... will cause him to stop and observe.

He can perceive these "unusual" little individuals.

Normalcy is the majority, and alienation is the key.

The Qinling Mountains are high and the forests are deep, and the middle section is mainly "high mountains", while the eastern section is "deep forests", often dozens of miles or even hundreds of miles away from people, and it is covered by barren jungles.

With Li Heng's foot strength, from the beginning of entering the forest in the afternoon to the setting sun, he only traveled a small half area in this deep mountain and old forest.

Looks like we're going to spend the night in this dense forest again.

This has long been accustomed to him, and after his physical strength has reached the point where it is now, all kinds of environments are no different for Li Heng.

Ordinary people find the harsh and unbearable environment nothing to him, and ordinary people find the environment comfortable and enjoyable to him.

For a creature that can bathe in boiling water and swim in an ice vault, will an air-conditioned room make it particularly comfortable?

Li Heng walked to a tall tree, and with a slight force of his hands and feet, the whole person quickly jumped to the treetops, and a branch that almost matched his body was his bed tonight.

At this moment, Li Heng's ears moved, and a slight movement did not escape his capture.

He immediately descended from the treetops again, and followed the sound in the air, and pursued it with light and agile movements.

At this time, the last bit of sunset is gradually buried in the mountains, and the curtain of night covers the vast land like a curtain.

Li Heng came to the strange sound not far away, and gently saw the strange scene through the gap in the bushes, through the last ray of skylight.

I saw that in the midst of a chaotic rock, the dragon and the tiger were fighting for their lives in this worldly place!
