007. Sunset Loutou Jiashanyuan
The next day, a group of three rushed to Maji Village. Miao Nv Ali's house was not in the village, but on the mountainside hundreds of meters away from the village. This was a two-story house, mostly made of wooden structures, built with bricks and stones, covered with small blue and black tiles, and several large trees on the side of the house, which concealed the house.
There was a flat piece of land at the door, but there were several bamboo plaques laying on it, with medicinal materials drying. A middle-aged woman was rummaging over there. Although she was middle-aged, she was still in a state of elegance. When she saw three people coming, she obviously knew Principal Du. She stood up and greeted Principal Du: "Teacher Du, it's rare to visit. Please sit in the house! Are these two?"
"Degou, these two are distinguished guests from other places. They want to find Ali and buy some medicinal materials such as wild Ganoderma lucidum. I wonder if they have them?" Principal Du asked that the Miao people are a nation with "long and young people, no high and low" people. They only treat people according to their generation of "long and young people", and do not choose people with "rich and poor" status. "Degou" is a Miao term, which is equivalent to the commonly known big girl. Principal Du turned around and introduced the identity of the Miao aunt in front of him, who is Ali's mother.
"My family went up the mountain to collect herbs, but there were a few Ganoderma lucidum." Liu Zhizhi was a little disappointed. He wanted to see A Li, but A Li was not there. Old Sun was very happy. He bought three Ganoderma lucidum, one Panax notoginseng, and some other precious medicinal herbs. Liu Zhizhi also bought two Ganoderma lucidum and other items.
On the way back to school, Liu Zhizhi asked Principal Du about Ali's situation. Ali's name is Li Li, but he actually graduated from university. Although it is an ordinary university, it is extremely rare here. After graduation, he worked in the city for some reason. He came back and made a living by collecting herbs. Her medicinal materials are very famous and she often gets precious wild medicinal materials. Other herb collecting people don't know how she did it.
Liu Zhizhi sent Mr. Sun to the nearest station, and sent Mr. Sun away, and bought some daily necessities. He has stayed at school since now. Although it was summer vacation, he still had work to do, mainly to repair the school building, and he was responsible for quality control.
The school conditions are relatively difficult. Liu Zhizhi led a group at Principal Du's house. He is a volunteer, but he is also a supervisor sent by the foundation here. He does not need to pay the salary of the local education department. The foundation pays the salary. Although it is not high, Liu Zhizhi is not short of money. He is a martial arts practitioner and must be able to keep up with nutrition, otherwise his body will not be able to bear it, so he pays to ask Master Du to buy meat every day.
Another aspect is taking a bath. It is summer now and I have to take a bath every day. The school conditions are simple. Although there is a small bathroom, it is just a small room near the kitchen. Of course, there is no shower or bathtub. There is only a large wooden basin and two buckets, and there are two benches. I bring a bucket of hot water and a bucket of cold water in the kitchen, and then wash it yourself in the basin. This is an ancient and convenient way to bathe.
Fortunately, it is summer now. A mountain stream not far from the school, which is coming down from the mountain. A small stone pond is formed under the shadows of trees not far from the school. The water is very clear. Liu Zhizhi just swims in it most of the time and then wipes his body dry. It is considered a bath.
Life is very light, and it is boring for ordinary people, not even TV, let alone the Internet, but mobile phones can communicate with outsiders. Although the signal is not good, Liu Zhizhi sighed very much. Look at the people's telecommunications and mobile phones, and then look at the government departments. Making money is the first priority!
On light days, he was like a fish in water. He got up before dawn every morning and started practicing martial arts. Then he saw the tiled carpenter repairing the school building and bragging with the masters. He soon became familiar with the locals. When he was free to walk around the mountain, he also met a few masters who collected herbs, and sometimes followed them to see how they collected herbs. Before he knew it, he became familiar with the habits of many medicinal materials and also understood how to soak these medicinal materials.
Time passed unknowingly. August was already in the middle of the year, and the school building was almost repaired. Liu Zhizhi wrote the work report and handed it over to the postman and sent it to Shencheng.
These days, Liu Zhizhi felt that his skills had improved a lot and he also fell in love with the monotonous and peaceful life here, but he received a call from Cheng Zhenqian, saying that he would drive to pick him up and play in a small town nearest.
Linshan Town is a town more than 20 kilometers away from Majiazhai. Within a few dozen miles nearby, all villages go to Linshan Town to go to the market on the tenth day of the day.
Today is not the day of the market. A jeep drove into the town and found a place to stop. Liu Zhizhi and Cheng Zhenqian got out of the car. Cheng Zhenqian asked a passerby how to get to Master Xiang’s knife shop. Passers-by pointed in detail. The two followed the passerby and turned several intersections. They saw a shop that was not big. The sign at the door said "Xiang’s knife shop".
Before, Cheng Zhenqian had already told Liu Zhizhi about the situation. During his time in supervising the work, he heard from the locals that there was a master of sword casting here, Xiang Ye, who was famous for casting. Cheng Zhenqian liked swords very much and collected a lot of swords. In addition, he also liked traveling. At one stage, he even wanted to be a hiker and traveled all over famous mountains and rivers. He heard that there was a master of sword casting here. While there was nothing happening recently, he took Liu Zhizhi to take a look.
The two entered the store. Various knives were hung on the wall in the store. A woman sat behind the counter. The sound of a blacksmith came from behind. Seeing the two people coming in, the woman stood up. They asked, "The woman was Xiang Ye's wife. Xiang Ye was forging a knife in the backyard, and she was looking at the store in front."
Liu Zhizhi and the other two carefully selected it. Liu Zhizhi bought two knives, one Miao knife and one pointed Miao knife. Strictly speaking, the Miao knife is not a long knife of the Miao people. The Miao people use short knives more, called sharp-sharp knives, which are only about a foot long. The Miao knife is much longer, reaching 135 cm, and it is a knife species that rarely retains both hands to hold the knife in China.
Cheng Zhenqian bought three knives. In addition to the Miao Knife and the sharp Miao Knife, he also bought a Jingpo Long Knife. Xiang's knife shop has a certain reputation in the sword industry. The knives produced are all refined in traditional ways. They are extremely sharp. Normally, fine bamboos with fine bowls can be cut off with one knife, and general steel nails can also be cut off with one knife.
Liu Zhizhi spent more than 1,000 yuan to buy two knives, Miaodao was over 1,000 yuan, and sharp Miaodao cost 300 yuan. Liu Zhizhi bought a knife differently from Cheng Zhenqian. Cheng Zhenqian collected it and personally liked swords, while Liu Zhizhi had a sudden idea to prepare to practice swordsmanship. His master had mentioned weapons before, and Liu Zhizhi also understood the training method of three and half swords in Jingpo's swordsmanship, and also knew the training method of three swords in one second in Miaodao.
Cheng Zhenqian drove Liu Zhizhi to Majiazhai and agreed with Liu Zhizhi to find time to explore the mountains and call him to contact him.
Liu Zhizhi started to practice boxing every day, and his training was to mix three and a half swords with one second and three swords. The three and a half swords training method was very simple. Throw a piece of wooden stick into the air, and three consecutive swords. Before the wooden stick landed, the wooden stick was broken into four pieces. Finally, half a knife was improved, and the last piece was like chopping wood, and it was divided into two vertically. The knife method was like lightning, and there was no move at all. The three swords in one second were "three swords in one second, three swords in one step, two swords in half a second
", one knife slap the throat, two knife slap the chest, three knife slap the vagina, and one step 2 knife
(The second knife was landed on the ground), then turn around and flirt with three moves.
This kind of knife technique is purely a word fast. Liu Zhizhi has now entered Mingjin and his understanding of martial arts is not comparable to ordinary martial arts enthusiasts. He has improved his sword technique. Originally, the two sword techniques did not require any force, and only pursued the quick conversion between speed and each sword. Liu Zhizhi used a knife to take a step to the waist, belt the knife, and took a step forward. The force started from the heels and the waist naturally rotated. The sword light almost sprinkled from the waist. The overall strength of the whole body was transmitted from the spine to the arms, and naturally reached the blade. Not only did the knife speed become faster, but the strength also increased a lot.
Twenty days later, Liu Zhizhi was in the clearing ground in the mountains, with his feet hooked, and a piece of dead branches as thick as his arms flew into the air. A silver light flew out slightly from his waist. The tree stick just fell to the height of his chest and neck, and it was immediately divided into two pieces. Liu Zhizhi took one step, his feet fell to the ground, his wrists turned a turn, and the light and shadow passed by, and the tree stick was divided into two pieces. It was not over yet. The knife light was another turn, and the tree stick was separated again, and one of them was about to fall to the ground. Liu Zhizhi took another step, and the knife light cut down vertically, like chopping firewood, splitting the piece in two halves.
Liu Zhizhi collected his sword and adjusted his breathing. The sword technique had been achieved. This sword technique was like entering a melee. It can be said that it could solve all the enemies around him in a blink of an eye. However, Liu Zhizhi did not show any joy, but instead frowned. He felt that the sword technique should have been practiced, but there were some things missing. What exactly was missing? Liu Zhizhi was not clear.
Liu Zhizhi sighed, knowing that he should not be impatient. Maybe one day, he suddenly realized that the opportunity was not right and it would be useless to think about it.
The school is about to start, the school has been completely renovated, the desks and benches in the classroom are neatly arranged, the glass on the windows has been installed, the blackboard has been repainted, and some simple scientific experiment instruments and medicinal materials in primary schools are also in place.
Liu Zhizhi taught the deputy subject in the new semester, one is calligraphy, and the other is knowledge of scientific common sense. In the school, there are only five teachers and staff including Liu Zhizhi. In addition to Principal Du and his wife, there is also a local teacher Wang Benlin, a middle-aged male teacher, a local, and his home is only more than ten miles away from the school. There is also a female teacher, but a normal student who has graduated for only one year and is also a volunteer. His home is in the capital of Guizhou Province, named Cao Yuying, who is very beautiful. There is also a kitchen staff member who is responsible for the students leading the students at noon with Mrs. Du.
In the new semester, students do not need to bring their own desks and stools. What makes the students even more excited is that after one class, each student has one boiled egg. Although they still bring their own steamed rice with lunch boxes, each person has two extra pieces of meat in the lunch box. These are the ones that Liu Zhizhi and Mr. Sun met with the students steamed soybean rice last semester. They specially donated some of them and gave the students an egg and one or two meats every day. After marinating these two meats with seasonings, they were directly steamed in the lunch box. The school has only more than a hundred students, and only about ten kilograms of meat a day. The price here is far lower than that in Shencheng, and it actually doesn't cost much.
Before leaving, Mr. Sun said that the foundation had discussed with Hope Project whether to provide students with an egg and a glass of milk every day in poor areas.
Although Liu Zhizhi was not a teacher, he was more than enough to teach these primary school students. From elementary school to university, he listened to teachers' lectures every day. Although he had never experienced education, he also taught it well. In a blink of an eye, a month was in the National Day holiday. Originally, Liu Zhizhi was going to go back to Shencheng, but Cheng Zhenqian asked him to explore the mountains. Cheng Zhenqian had already gone home before National Day.
Liu Zhizhi called and told Mrs. He that she would not go back, and she had another call with her father Liu Chuanyi. The father and son were not very harmonious, so they simply became hikers with Cheng Zhenqian and entered the mountain for a few days.
Cheng Zhenqian put the car in Majia Village, carried a big bag and Liu Zhizhi into the mountain, and went to the sinkhole first. To be honest, Liu Zhizhi didn't want to come here. After all, he killed three people here, and the body was still at the bottom of the sinkhole, but it was not easy to show it. Cheng Zhenqian was very interested and sighed that he was naturally great.
Cheng Zhenqian prepared for this adventure tour in the mountains for a long time.
Sleeping bags, a set of windbreaker clothes, underwear, dry rations, stainless steel tea cups and bowls, medical boxes, raincoats, personal hygiene products, kettles, Swiss army knives, and several other small items. These are all put into a backpack, most eye-catching, with a steel crossbow equipped with ten steel arrows.
Originally, Cheng Zhenqian had to bring a tent, but Liu Zhizhi said: "Miaomin in the mountains spends the night in the mountains. Do you have any tents? Don't worry, I learned a little with them, so it's okay not to use a tent." Cheng Zhenqian threw the tent into the car.
Liu Zhizhi was very curious about the steel crossbow and asked him where he got it. Cheng Zhenqian smiled and told Liu Zhizhi that he would go online and get it done for a few hundred yuan. His crossbow is equipped with a scope, with a range of 100 meters and an accurate range of 80 meters, which is only six or seven hundred yuan.
Compared to Cheng Zhenqian's complete equipment, Liu Zhizhi was much simpler. In his backpack, there was a thin sleeping bag, a piece of plastic cloth, a little dry food, and two kilograms of rice. The others were small items. He carried a kettle, but the pot was not water, but the liquor brewed by local villagers. Liu Zhizhi added a zine ginseng Yangshen pill that he had refined himself. To Cheng Zhenqian, Liu Zhizhi actually brought a Miaodao and a sharp Miaodao.
"Don't be so exaggerated! Why are you bringing Miaodao? Go and fight with beasts?" Cheng Zhenqian said exaggeratedly.
"If there is no road to go up the mountain, use it to cut down trees to open the road!" Liu Zhizhi thought of a purpose. He was not talking nonsense. He met many nearby herb collectors. If Cheng Zhenqian's equipment was an official equipment for ordinary hikers, and Liu Zhizhi's standard is a way to go on the mountain road, it might be more practical.
Hearing Liu Zhizhi's answer, Cheng Zhenqian was a little amused and said, "You bought a collection of 1,000 yuan as a hatchet, you can remember it!"
"Isn't the knife just used?" Liu Zhizhi disagreed. He bought the knife not for collection, but because he had seen several knife techniques before, and bought the knife to practice the knife techniques.
The two stopped in the sinkhole for a while, admired it for a while, then headed towards the deep mountains. At first there was still a road, but gradually there was no road. The two were walking along a mountain stream to the deep mountains, which was not difficult to walk. In the shade of the trees, Liu Zhizhi collected Polygonatum. He had not been wasted his interactions with the herb collectors in the past two months. Cheng Zhenqian did not know him, but fortunately the scenery along the way was a feast for the eyes.
After walking for a long time, the two of them were a little tired, so they rested under a big tree in the forest by the stream. Cheng Zhenqian looked at the time and set off at around 6 o'clock in the morning. It was almost ten o'clock now, so he suggested walking forward for about an hour and then having a meal.
Liu Zhizhi nodded, and the two were about to get up, but they heard a sound. The mountains were originally quiet, and the stream was smooth and there was no sound of water. They couldn't help but feel a little nervous. They looked at the sounds, but it was a woman who collected herbs. Liu Zhizhi recognized it at a glance, and it turned out to be her!
It was Ali who came, and Liu Zhizhi immediately stood up: "Miss Ali, what a coincidence, I met you here!"
"So it's Brother Liu of the Han family, why are you here?" A Li was a little surprised. Cheng Zhenqian was a little dazed. A beautiful Miao girl appeared in the deep mountains.
"Brother Cheng and I went into the mountains to play, so we are considered hikers! This is my friend Cheng Zhenqian. Brother Cheng, this beautiful girl is the Li Li I mentioned before." Liu Zhizhi introduced it to the two of them.
"I'm very happy to know you, Li Li? The grass on the ground?" Cheng Zhenqian said in uncertainty.
"No, it's the people's Li, and the next one is the pear blossom." A Li said.
"I'm thinking a little bit, Li Li, a very nice name. You are so beautiful, much better than the fairy sister circulating on the Internet!" Cheng Zhenqian praised.
A Li's face showed a blush. She looked around for a while and stared at the big tree where the two of them had just rested. Liu Zhizhi found something was wrong and couldn't help but ask: "A Li, what kind of tree is this?"
"You are so brave. You can be said to be meaningless. This is a blood-threatening tree!" Ali said.
Their faces immediately changed, and Cheng Zhenqian couldn't help but shout: "This is the legendary blood-sealed throat tree, which is the poisonous arrow tree!" The two of them couldn't help but feel fear in their eyes. They actually leaned against this big tree for a long time. It was not that the old birthday boy had eaten arsenic and lived a hard life!
"It's not as terrifying as you think. As long as the wound does not touch the sap, it's okay!" Ali comforted the two, but they were immediately far away from the tree as if they were hiding from the plague god.
The three of them walked forward along the stream. During the conversation, the two learned that Ali came here to collect herbs. When they arrived at a bamboo forest in front, they would go in another direction and would not be in the same direction as the two of them.
When we arrived at the bamboo forest, it was already about 10:30. Cheng Zhenqian saw a piece of bamboo. He was very elegant. He felt aroused and said to Liu Zhizhi: "Xiao Liu, why not take a break here and eat something?"
It was too late for Liu Zhizhi to agree, so he nodded and said to Ali: "Ali, you should take a break and have a meal with us!"
Ali looked up at the sun and agreed to it. The two of them took out dry food. When Ali laughed, she took out rice from the basket, cut down a bamboo tree with a hatchet, and made bamboo rice. When the two saw it, they were busy picking up firewood to make it. What was even more unexpected to both of them was that Ali actually took out a hare from the bamboo basket. She didn't know how Ali hunted it. She asked Liu Zhizhi to peel and wash it by the stream, then took out a small bag of salt from the bamboo basket, and found some plants nearby. Some Liu Zhizhi knew, like fine wild onions, sprinkled on the rabbit meat, and roasted it on the fire. After a while, the fragrance made the two saliva swallow.
Originally, he was going to treat Ali to dinner, but now he poured it over. Liu Zhizhi made three bamboo cups with bamboo tubes and poured three glasses of wine, one glass for each person. Fortunately, Ali would also drink, otherwise the two men would feel sorry for it. That's it, and I'm still a little embarrassed.
Ali took a sip and browsed: "This is medicinal wine, which contains Ganoderma lucidum and honey, what else?"
"Ali, you are so awesome!" Liu Zhizhi praised. After talking about the situation of preparing the pills, Ali understood.
"Brother, you are also amazing. You don't blame me for buying Ganoderma lucidum last time. It's better to use it." As A Li said, adding some firewood to the fire and a white thatch, a faint fragrance spread.
"What kind of grass is this?" Liu Zhizhi asked.
"This is lemongrass. We go to the mountains to collect herbs, or spend the night in the mountains, and often collect some, put them in the fire. After burning, the smell can repel mosquitoes, snakes and ants, and also drive away miasma!" Ali replied.
"There is such a good thing, much better than mosquito coils!" Cheng Zhenqian said in surprise.
While talking, the bamboo rice was ready, and the three-tube rice was eaten. It was the first time Liu Zhizhi and Cheng Zhenqian had eaten it. It was really delicious, with a natural fragrance of bamboo. The two realized that they were far apart in the mountains and fields than Ali. While eating, they asked Ali to ask him how to survive in the mountains and fields.
After meals, Ali carried a medicine basket with the medicinal materials inside. She said goodbye to the two of them and was about to go home. Before leaving, she remembered something and threw the bag of salt to Liu Zhizhi, and said to the two of them: "You go up the stream, and go up the end of the stream, and there is a watchtower on the top of the mountain, which was left decades ago. Although it has been ruined, it can shelter from the wind and rain as a place to land at night."
The two watched Ali walk away, and Cheng Zhenqian sighed: "I think I have mastered a lot of knowledge about wild adventures. I am far worse than Ali. She is the expert in wild survival!" After a tone, she joked to Liu Zhizhi: "Ali is so beautiful, are you attracted to her? My brother has a family. If he is ten years younger and has not gotten married, he will chase him. Xiao Liu, don't miss it!"
"Brother Cheng, Ali and I have only met twice!"
"Haha, I've called him girls, you kid are not a good-looking guy!"
The two talked and laughed, while enjoying the scenery, Liu Zhizhi had another task, which was to find precious medicinal materials and collect herbs, which was also his luck that he actually found a Fuqin under a pine tree.
The two arrived at the watchtower before dusk. The watchtower was two floors. Although it was a bit dilapidated, the overall situation was pretty good. The two collected a lot of dead branches in the woods. Liu Zhizhi moved his knife like the wind and chopped the firewood. Cheng Zhenqian saw that Liu Zhizhi really used the Miaodao as a hatchet, so he couldn't help but shake his head.
The two of them collected some lemongrass. At this time, the sun had begun to set, and the red sun was sinking towards the horizon bit by bit. The two climbed upstairs and looked at the magnificent scene. Liu Zhizhi took out his cell phone and took a photo. Cheng Zhenqian looked at the setting sun, turned around and looked towards the already dim and vast east.
"Brother Cheng, are you missing home?"
"Where is Rimu Township? My wife and children should have dinner now!"
"Brother Cheng, you miss your sister-in-law, but I am alone and have a bad relationship with my family. But after all, my home is home. After all, the sunset building is at the entrance, where is the mountain!"
