Zheng Xiaoping took Han Qi and his family to walk in the ancient city and introduced to them: "There was once a selection of the ten most beautiful streets in Tianfu, and Huili Ancient City was one of them. When I first came here, I was also surprised by the street scene of Huili.
.”
It is now ten o'clock in the morning, and a few people passed through the Bell and Drum Tower, which was not yet open, and arrived at the most important street in Huili Ancient Town.
These days are not holidays, and winter is not the peak tourist season, so there are relatively few tourists on this street, but it does not seem deserted.
An ancient town must be a town and a place of residence before it can be called an ancient town, otherwise it should be called a tourist attraction.
In fact, so do they.
However, the scenic spots in the ancient town are different from the scenic spots we usually understand. Many people living in the ancient town do not rely on tourists to make money. They have their own lives, jobs, and hobbies.
In the morning I danced a sword dance with a group of neighbors in the square, and at night I met up with a few friends to drink tea while watching the moon at the entrance of the alley.
When tourists visit the ancient town, they actually see not only the antique houses, but also the lives of this group of people.
Compared with those ancient cities and towns I have seen before, the streets in Huili Ancient City are relatively narrow, with only five meters between shops on both sides. According to ancient sayings, two carriages should be able to run parallel?
Han Qi touched his chin and thought for a while, but felt that it wouldn't work.
It can only be said that it can accommodate two carriages in the ultimate state, but this is only possible if the surrounding shops do not put things outside the house and no tikans are built on the street.
My sister was still introducing some situations to the meeting, like a very dedicated and dedicated tour guide. Zheng Hongmei and Han Fugui were walking beside her, listening very seriously. Only Han Qi was left behind a little later, thinking about things by himself.
Soon, Han Qi discovered another place that was different from other ancient towns.
There are no sewers on both sides of the street, so when it rains, won’t the streets just be soaked in water?
The four seasons are not obvious, but the dry season and the rainy season are distinct. The dry season is fine, but what should I do in the rainy season?
He thought about it for a while, didn't think about it, then stepped forward and shouted: "Sister!"
Zheng Xiaoping, who was enjoying being a tour guide, was still telling stories. She had heard a lot of stories and legends about Huili in the past few years. They were all quite legendary. She naturally stopped when Han Qi called her and asked.
:"What's wrong?"
"I used to see that other ancient towns have drainage channels. Is it the rainy season? What should I do when it rains a lot? Will the water soak these stone slabs?"
This is something Han Qi has never thought about.
If the road surface had been soaked in water, it would have been damaged long ago. However, most of the bluestone slabs in Huili Ancient Town are still intact, and not many are damaged. And it seems that they are not damaged by water, most of them are artificially damaged.
.
Zheng Xiaoping was stunned by the question. She had never thought about this question.
I recalled the heavy rains I had seen before, those rains...
"Is it all gone?"
"What?"
Zheng Xiaoping ignored Han Qi's words and clapped her hands together excitedly: "Yes, it just flowed away. We are on a mountain here, Xiao Qi, you should know what the altitude is. Our place is a full 1,800 meters.
When the rain comes, doesn’t it just flow down the river?”
Um...so too.
However, the roads in the ancient town are gentle and the view is relatively broad. If you don't pay attention, you will forget that this is a city built on a high mountain.
Han Qi discovered that there are quite a few cities like Tianfu.
His hometown is also on a mountain, but the road to and from it is very stable. Even if you drive 200 yards on a four-lane asphalt road, it will be fine. To come to Huili, you need to go up an S-shaped mountain, and just to go up the mountain.
for half an hour.
It is estimated that even if the Jinsha River rises twenty meters, it will not be able to control this area.
Zheng Xiaoping was interrupted by Han Qi. She forgot where she had just told the story. She walked for a long time and couldn't think of it. She felt that she couldn't continue to be so cold. Her third aunt and uncle were still waiting to be introduced.
She cleared her throat and continued: "Most counties in Liangshan are built on landslides and fault zones. Very few people care about such a good place..."
………………
The scenery of Huili is not limited to the ancient city. Zheng Xiaoping also took them to see the Red Meeting Site, Longhou Mountain and other well-known local attractions.
Needless to say about the ruins, most of them are similar, but Longzhou Mountain is a good place.
It was already afternoon when they went there. After lunch, they decided to go for a walk in the countryside to eat, so my brother-in-law drove them here.
Longhou Mountain is a high mountain with an altitude of more than 3,000 meters, but apart from actually going to the plateau, climbing such a mountain will not cause much altitude sickness. Moreover, they did not reach the top and stopped at a platform in the middle.
Come down.
If you don't look down the mountain, this is a beautiful grassland.
The brother-in-law parked the car, took out a few bottles of water from the trunk, and said to several people: "This is the best location on Longxiu Mountain. There is nothing interesting to see further up. I can only take a photo at the top."
, but very tired.”
They came by car. They said they were tired not because they were tired from climbing the mountain, but because the air was thin and they felt tired even standing on it.
The third aunt and uncle rarely come to such a high altitude place, and the brother-in-law is also worried that their bodies will not adapt.
The sun was shining brightly in the sky, making it hard to imagine that this was January, which was approaching the Spring Festival. Old Han didn't expect it to be so warm here at all. He held on for a while, and then took off his clothes with sweat all over his face.
He took his coat and put it in the car.
After thinking about it, I took off my sweater again.
Zheng Hongmei was snickering. She asked Lao Han not to wear so many clothes when she got up in the morning, but he didn't listen.
It is useless for people like Lao Han to give advice from others. They will only look back when they hit the wall.
On this small platform in the mountains, which is similar to a grassland, there are tourists and many locals.
Only a dozen meters away from Han Qi, there was a group of little sisters sitting, with an average age of about twenty. They were all holding umbrellas, and their chatter and laughter could be heard far away. It was the most eye-catching scenery on the entire platform.
Not far from them, there were several cows munching grass, probably raised by farmers living here.
A few can be seen in the distance.
Han Qi counted almost fifteen cows.
There were probably more than a hundred people, all holding umbrellas, like little mushrooms.
My sister was accompanying Han Qi's parents, and my brother-in-law handed Han Qi a bottle of water.
"Thank you." Han Qi took it.
"What are you grateful for as a family?" Duan Yi said. He also unscrewed the bottle and took a sip. He added, "I heard you were coming yesterday. I was worried that you wouldn't be used to it. After all, the climate and environment here are...
They are all different from those in Chengdu."
"It's good. If both sides have to make a choice, I think both my parents and I will choose to live here for a long time."
After all, the air is good and the scenery is good.
Because they have steel plants, they have long polluted the surrounding environment. A originally clear mother river turned into sewage a few years ago.
I don’t know how it has been treated recently. Although the sewage looks like it has turned into clean water, except for some snails with strong survivability, there is not a single fresh fish in it. It is estimated that no one would dare to drink such water.
"The air here is very dry." Duan Yi said.
Then he pointed to the mountain: "Starting from March, the mountains here will be full of azaleas, and they will bloom from the bottom of the mountain to high up on the mountain. There are all kinds of azaleas."
Han Qi followed where he pointed and saw only green pines covered with new leaves and lush shrubs.
Seeing such green in winter is really eye-catching.
The two chatted for a while. Han Qi was a little curious about what he would see when standing on the edge of the platform, so he stood up, patted the weeds on his pants, and said, "Let's walk around by ourselves. You have to go back later."
Give me a call."
"Okay." Duan Yi also stood up.
He was quite surprised. He thought it would be difficult to get along with a celebrity like Han Qi, but in the end, the contact was not bad, and they were able to chat in many ways.
Especially games…
He glanced at Han Qi's sister.
It's a pity that he hasn't recharged money for a long time, and Han Qi, a young man six years younger than him.
There are actually three accounts with all skins!
envious.
Wearing a mask and a hat, he walked around on the grass openly. He was not worried that anyone would recognize him. Moreover, there were not many people here. Even if they all came over to ask for photos and autographs, Han Qi would still be busy.
.
There is a large stone on the edge of the grassland, embedded in the grassland like a gem, and like a fanged sword stretched out to face the sky and the earth. It is very imposing.
There were several people taking pictures on top, and Han Qi waited until they all came down before walking to the rock.
He was worried that the stone was not stable enough, so he jumped on the side close to the grass. He found that the stone did not sway at all, so he boldly walked to the edge of the stone and felt the gentle movement of the stone.
breeze.
What a big mountain!
From this stone, you can see far into the distance. The mountains in the distance are undulating and green, and you can see all the small mountains at a glance.
Since it was a sunny day, there were no clouds visible on the mountainside. Han Qi could even see the fertile plains, villages and farmhouses, rivers and city walls, and even distant mountains and rivers at the foot of the mountain.
Nearby, the shrubs at the foot of the mountain are either sparse or dense, ranging from low to tall, forming forests with almost no gaps.
What can be seen with the naked eye is definitely not comparable to that of a telescope alone. A telescope can only see a small area. How could Han Qi have such a broad field of vision?
If anyone looked at his eyes at this time, they would definitely think that Han Qi was wearing contact lenses.
His pupils are just like the characters in anime, layered but distinct.
After a while, my sister found Han Qi.
"Xiao Qi, your father wants to go up the mountain to have a look. What do you think? There may be no road behind. We have to park in some places and walk up by ourselves."
"The top of the mountain?"
He glanced at the top of the mountain blocked by clouds and fog.
"It must be cold up there, right? After all, the altitude is so high."
"Well, it's only 3,500 meters, but it's not too cold to be a big problem. I'm worried about altitude sickness."
Han Qi nodded, "I'll go tell you."
Lao Han is a person who has lived in the plains all his life. The altitude there is only one or two hundred meters. Now he is a little unable to stand up to one or two thousand meters. He often feels very tired for no reason. Even with his physical condition, he still wants to go up to three thousand and five meters.
.
But is there any use in persuading someone with such a stubborn temper?
When I returned to the parking place, I saw that my brother-in-law kept explaining how cold it was on the mountain and how thin the air was, but Han also said earnestly that his health was fine and he was just curious about what was up there and wanted to see it.
He usually doesn't lose his temper with others, but is more aggressive at home.
But it's hard to get him to change his mind.
Han Qi thought for a while and said, "Let's go back. Something suddenly happened to me."
"good!"
Duan Yi agreed immediately.
"What's the matter with you?" Old Han glanced at his son up and down, as if he wanted to see something fishy.
Han Qi said: "I'm not here just for tourism. I still have my own work to do. I just received a call urging me, so I want to go around and see the humanities in Liangshan..."
Before he finished speaking, Old Han waved his hand: "Then you go alone!"
My sister quickly said: "We came here together, how can we let my brother go by himself, and there is no car now. It will be the same if we come to play another day."
"Yes, yes!!" Duan Yi nodded repeatedly and quickly got into the driver's seat and started the engine.
"Get in the car. It's getting late now. Let's go find a place to have dinner. I know there is a donkey meat hotpot that is particularly delicious."
Old Han got into the car with an unhappy face. His sister gave Han Qi a victory sign and walked around to get into the passenger seat.
Duan Yi knows how to eat. Although he is not fat himself, his sister has gained a lot of weight in the years since she came here.
The donkey meat restaurant they were talking about was not in Huili City, but on a very bad road outside. Han Qi complained a lot when he drove over, but today it seemed that the road was even worse.
I don't know who's water pipe burst, and the sprayed water would have flowed down the mountain, but now it was all locked on this road, turning the road into a swamp where it was difficult to see the road conditions.
Fortunately, the restaurant is right here. Duan Yi parked the car far away, and then several people walked over.
There were no other customers in the restaurant. After Duan Yi came in, he took a look backstage and found out what the fresh ingredients were today, and then came back to order something.
"Have you ever eaten fried bee pupae?"
"I've never eaten it." Han Fugui shook his head and frowned, "I heard it's edible, but is it really edible?"
"It's edible and very fragrant. I'll order one for you to try."
Huili is close to southern Yunnan, and some of its eating habits have also followed those of that place.
In addition to the unique 'insect-type' delicacies, another thing that they find difficult to accept is that there is no salt in the soup, and it tastes like drinking boiled water, so Lao Han specifically told the waiter who took the menu to put salt in the soup.
.
The focus, of course, is donkey meat, which is what they come to eat.
The donkey meat was served in the same pot used to cook mutton in Yanjing, and the soup inside was still boiling.
Duan Yi said: "The donkey meat will have to wait for him to cook for a while. Come and taste this first."
The bee pupae were served.
It looks like it is fried, and there are chili peppers in it. If the bee pupae are replaced with meat, then this dish is Kung Pao Chicken, but this is bee pupae...
Lao Han, who had never eaten anything like this before, felt scared just looking at it.
Han Qi took a bite first. The spicy taste was just right for him. He nodded repeatedly and advised: "Mom, Dad, give it a try. It won't do any harm to your body. Just don't eat too much."
You may be allergic to protein if you eat too much, but there is no problem if you eat a few to taste it.
