Feicheng is located in the middle of eastern Shandong and at the western foot of Mount Tai. It is a treasure land of Qilu rich in resources. It is famous at home and abroad as the hometown of fat peaches. It was called "the town of gentlemen" in ancient times. It is the hometown of Zuo Qiuming, the historical sage, and the last place where Fan Li, the Shang sage, settled.
Xiaokang, the receptionist of the Eastern Religious Affairs Bureau, is from Feicheng, so he told us many historical allusions and anecdotes about Feicheng along the way.
But as far as we are concerned, the most interesting thing is a legend about Feicheng Buddha Peach: It is said that the origin of this peach orchard turned out to be the development of the fruit core of the Peach Club in the sky. Needless to say the details, anyway, it involves the Queen Mother and Jade
Huang Laoer and the like, of course, such statements are probably a local marketing strategy to make their products appear high-end and classy.
Feicheng peach tree cultivation area has exceeded 60,000 acres, which is currently the largest peach orchard in the world. Xiaokang regretfully told us that if we come in April or September, we will definitely see the peach blossoms all over the mountains and plains, so red and pink and so white.
Charm, filling the world, is inherently pleasing to the eye. But at this moment, although there are plump and juicy peaches to eat, from a visual perspective, this scenery is missing.
However, what we came here for this time was only Taoyuan. As for the other obstacles, we didn’t really care. After all, although the scenery was beautiful, we couldn’t eat or drink.
We exchanged opinions with Lin Qiming before coming here. Since he is currently trapped by a mysterious wolf pack in Gaomi, we will inform us of the source of the news and let us go and investigate first.
After arriving at the location, we followed the address and found the first villager who encountered this incident in a small mountainside village with the pseudonym Sunzhuang. This person's surname was Gong and his first name was Zuoping. He was the seventh in the clan and the township
Everyone calls him Gong Laoqi, but after a long time, he forgets his name.
Because the news had a few twists and turns, Gong Laoqi didn’t know us. He had several acres of fruit trees at home, and they were starting to bear fruit now. It was a busy time, so we went to visit him at noon carrying gifts. The neighbor told us
Gong Laoqi went to fight insects in his orchard. We asked Xiaokang to look after the car, found a half-year-old child wandering in the village, stuffed a card of Mao Zedong, and asked him to take us to find it.
The naughty boy, dragging his nose, took us to the forest on the mountain behind the village. He stood on the ridge and pointed forward, saying, "Did you see that the man in the blue overalls is Uncle Gong?"
After the child finished speaking, he turned around and ran away. We walked down the steep slope and saw a man in his forties with a thick mustache from a distance. He was carrying a pesticide box and spraying liquid, and there were peach trees in neat rows.
There were many trees, the branches were heavy, and the fat peaches, either red or green, were growing gratifyingly. We called out "Gong Lao Qi" from a distance, and the man responded and raised his head to face us.
Seeing that we had found the rightful owner, Zamao Xiaodao and I walked up to him, stood hand in hand, and then started to build a relationship.
These seven aunts and eight aunts, friends of friends of friends... many relationships have been connected through this mouth that can bring the dead back to life, and we immediately became a lot closer. After learning about our purpose, Gong
Lao Qi was very surprised and said that this matter was really a ghost. In the past, when I told others, they thought I was crazy. Why have three groups of people come here in the past two weeks to inquire about the news? You guys
Are you a reporter or someone else?
"Two groups of people?" When we heard Gong Laoqi's words, our hearts jumped. Knowing what Lin Qiming was worried about, he finally came.
We were surprised in our hearts, but our faces didn't show anything. We lied that we were freelance writers for the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences magazine "Exploration Science" and that we just liked to hear weird things. Actually, we came here just to
Looking for materials.
Gong Laoqi was stunned and asked if it was like "Wang Gang Tells Stories" that is played every day on TV?
The two of us were overjoyed when we heard this, and nodded hurriedly, saying yes, that's right, but we were presenting it in text form, requiring it to be more concise and clear, and to pay more attention to fun and knowledge... Gong Laoqi didn't do this kind of deception.
Overcoming the unfamiliarity of our first meeting, he simply put down the pesticide box and took us to his cabin next to the orchard to enjoy the cool air, drink tea and tell stories.
Gong Laoqi told us that this incident happened in the summer of last year:
At dusk that day, he drank some wine because of his active nature and patrolled the forest alone. He saw a little beast running and jumping in the forest. Although he couldn't see it clearly, it was quite cute.
So I chased after it, wanting to catch it and see what happened. The little beast looked a bit like a squirrel, but it was a few times bigger than the squirrel. It was not slow when jumping, and it kept running towards the back mountain.
Despite his age, Gong Laoqi was almost five years old, but he was a fierce-tempered barbarian. Moreover, when he was drunk, he couldn't care about much. He ran as fast as he could, and he didn't know how many miles he ran. He ran like this, and he was a little nervous at the time.
I was possessed by the evil spirit. I didn't know how tired or scared I was. All I could see was that cute little beast. I was so crazy.
After traveling through mountains and ridges in this way, he took many unfamiliar paths. When the sky became dark and the moon crescent hung in the sky, the little beast was nowhere to be seen. He even walked around the mountain a few times, and the drunkenness had somewhat subsided.
, the chill in the night climbed up my back, and I felt a little scared. I calmed my mind and looked around, but I didn't know where I was.
If you squint your eyes, you will see that the peach trees all over the mountains and plains are all wild and not as neat as ordinary fruit trees.
There were faint howls from all around, like ghosts and wolves. Gong Laoqi, who was too drunk, was scared to death. He stumbled forward and ran forward. Somehow, he came to a spring and pool, where there was a sparkling water.
There are sparkling waves, fish jumping on the water surface, and grass growing. Looking at the scene, it seems that no one has been there at all.
Gong Laoqi was originally a silly and bold person, otherwise he wouldn't have chased him here because of his drunkenness. Just looking at this strange environment and the strange sounds in the forest, his legs were shaking with fright, and he looked for
After reaching an older peach tree not far from the pond, I climbed up and sat on the top branch, feeling a little calmer in my heart.
If he slept hugging the tree trunk that night and came down the next day to look for a way out, there would be no story. The blame would be that he was hungry in the middle of the night and couldn't help but touch the peaches on the tree and eat a few.
The peach had just begun to bear fruit and looked a little green. However, when Gong Laoqi ate it, it felt extremely delicious. Compared with this, the peaches he had eaten in the past were as bland and tasteless as if they were soaked in urea.
He ate several in a row, but felt a little hot all over his body, the corners of his mouth were red, the skin was peeling, and the skin on his arms and back was itchy.
He is a peach farmer himself, and he knows that there is a layer of peach hair on the surface of the peach, and if it is not removed, it will cause allergic symptoms. The reason why he ate it raw just now was, firstly, because he was extremely hungry, and secondly, because of this
The peaches were green and the peach hairs had not yet grown. Thirdly, it was dangerous in the forest. I did not dare to go down from the tree to the pond to clean them. I did not expect that my luck would be so short.
Gong Laoqi was so angry that he didn't dare to eat anymore or get off the tree. He just endured it. However, the itching became more and more serious. He scratched his entire back with both hands and even lost blood on his fingernails, but he couldn't stop it.
Live, it seems like there are ten thousand little ants crawling inside the bones.
After enduring it for a while, Gong Laoqi finally couldn't bear the strong itching. Seeing that there was nothing unusual under the tree, he turned over and got off the tree and ran to the pool to wash himself. Strangely enough, the water in the pool was cool and quiet, and the tentacles
Bingrun, the allergic symptoms that had made him extremely painful just now were relieved a lot now. Gong Laoqi's whole body was numb and itchy, and it was summer again. He couldn't help but take off his smelly sweatshirt and jump into the pool.
He went to wash, but in the middle of washing, he suddenly heard a rustling sound in the grass. He was startled. He saw that there was no place to hide on the left and right, and the pool was not deep, so he squatted down and entered the pool.
.
He squatted in the pool for a while. There were many fish in the water, so he moved slowly to the edge of the pool on the opposite side, and then slowly rose up.
It didn't matter that he was rising, but he saw something he would never forget in his life: four or five big, black, furry guys emerged from the grass. These guys were generally between 1.7 and 1.8 meters tall - yes,
Yes, these guys all walk upright and are covered in black fur. From the neck down, they are strong and strong humans, but above the neck, there is a vicious wolf-dog-like narrow head with interlocking canine teeth in the mouth, leaving a smelly saliva.
When the wind blew, it got into his nose.
But Gong Laoqi was stunned, his body was stiff, and he didn't dare to move at all. Those big guys came to Tanshui to drink water, play and howl loudly, so Gong Laoqi took them to the corner of the pool and watched.
However, perhaps it was a coincidence that Gong Laoqi, who was numb all over, did not even dare to breathe. Unexpectedly, there was a slippery feeling at the trouser legs, and then a long slippery thing swam into his trouser legs, and then upwards.
Climbing up and into his crotch, he was trying hard to move towards his anus. He endured it for a while, but finally couldn't bear the humiliation and fear. He reached out and grabbed it, and pulled out a pair of fancy gold
Here comes the krait.
He was so frightened that he swung it hard and flew right onto the guys playing by the pool. Seeing such a person suddenly appeared in the pool, the big guys also jumped. When they saw it, they rushed up one after another. Gong Laoqi
At that time, he was so happy that he ran towards the old peach tree where he had just been, trying to climb up the tree along the original path.
He is fast, but those furry guys are even more ridiculously fast, so they will soon catch his trouser legs.
However, at the moment when Gong Laoqi was about to die, a ball of light suddenly burst out from the old peach tree.
——When he said this, Gong Laoqi's cloudy eyes sparkled: "Guess, what did I encounter?"
