Chapter 268: The old girl with braids

Because it is a tourist city, cars are very easy to find. You can call a car using the software on your mobile phone.

The car is very clean, has dedicated lines, and provides one-stop service.

Fat Wei obviously didn't feel any pressure this time. He chatted and slapped the driver all the way.

The driver had a very good attitude, spoke fluent Mandarin, and guided them to several routes.

This is a famous city through the ages. There are places of interest and historic sites everywhere you step. You can see signs of scenic spots everywhere in front. If you are interested, you can go to the surrounding attractions. The driver covers the tickets, and the fees can be deducted directly from the software.

A set meal is more cost-effective.

Although the driver's attitude was very enthusiastic, Chen Zhi said that they were not interested at the moment and just wanted to visit Dapeng Village.

So according to their request, the driver took them directly to Dapeng Village in Xuzhou City...

Compared with other places, Dapeng Village has the fewest scenic spots. The development inside is not as complete as the outside, and it is not equipped with corresponding scenic spot resources.

But here is the junction of Jiangsu and Anhui, and Anhui Province is not far away. There are many farmers who make a living here. When we arrived at the intersection of Dapeng Village, we found that there were green wheat seedlings on both sides of the road.

The land here seems to be extremely fertile, the fragrant rice nourishes the people on this land and water, and everything seems to be so sweet, soft and dense...

Some private houses can be seen pattering in the distance, and their roofs are all white, as if white snow has fallen.

The driver told them that the tourism industry has developed rapidly, and there are not many old residents left here. It was demolished a few years ago, and the villagers sold their houses. With money, more people live in the city, which is no longer what they remember.

village,

But the accommodation here is very convenient. There are many well-established B&Bs among the remaining villagers, where you can stay directly.

These people are more down-to-earth than the businessmen outside, and the prices are basically fair. If necessary, the driver knows several familiar portals, and the environment is also good.

Chen Zhi accepted the driver's suggestion and asked him to help find a B&B closer to the mountainous area.

It is said that they are all here to collect scenery and like silence. It is best that there are not many people in the B&B itself and it is not bordered by other places. It is a truly quiet and quiet place.

The driver then parked the car in front of a B&B. The driver told them that this was the most remote and quiet B&B.

Because it is far away from tourist attractions, there are fewer people staying there, but it is still clean inside. The owner is an old girl in her 30s who went to school when she was young. She is a tour guide herself, and the prices are easy to talk about.

After entering the B&B, they found that it was indeed very clean. The female owner warmly received them and arranged him in the cleanest and most decent room here.

This old girl's name is Wu Hua. She looks strong and healthy, with a dark and rosy complexion. She is of medium height, has some crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, and has a thick braid.

It is relatively rare for people in the mountains to not get married at this age. This girl is not ugly. I think there is something special about being delayed until now.

But the old girl had indeed read some books, and she spoke cheerfully and enthusiastically. After helping them walk in with their luggage, she began to introduce the local customs and various scenic spots, and planned a travel itinerary for them.

This village is mainly about tombs. There is a famous ancient military village in front of it, which contains several generals' tombs. It is the biggest tourist attraction here.

It is said that during the late Ming Dynasty, this place was a deep mountain and old forest, and few people passed by on weekdays.

Later, a large army entered this mountain. They had fled here to take refuge after losing the battle.

But for some unknown reason, I stopped leaving later and settled in this deep mountain.

They built houses here, opened up land for farming, but later, for some unknown reason, the soldiers suddenly disappeared, as if they disappeared out of thin air, leaving behind many tombs and stone carvings.

The tombs were all burial mounds. To put it bluntly, the descendants were afraid of the ghosts, so they buried their clothes in the soil, erected graves and stone tablets, and then placed the stone carvings they left behind there.

Later, the tourism bureau approved the money and rebranded the place, and those unknown tombs were suddenly transformed into the tombs of generals.

It has now become a tourist attraction and can be reached within half an hour's walk.

But Chen Zhi had no interest in that place. He asked Wu Hua if there were any old temples or old cemeteries of unknown origin around here. The older the better, the better it was that they didn't even know their origins.

Wu Hua told him that there were old people with unknown origins everywhere here. When she was a child, according to the old people in the village.

This back mountain is actually haunted by mountain ghosts, those people who died in the mountain for unknown reasons and who were unwilling to cause trouble after death.

The haunted place is a ruined temple. The ruined temple is really old and dilapidated, with no one worshiping.

The stone statues inside have long since collapsed, and I don’t know what they were dedicated to, so I don’t know what kind of temple it is.

When the Cultural Revolution was about to destroy the Four Olds, a group of Red Guards went up the mountain and destroyed the place.

But it is said that when the old temple was smashed, it was discovered that there was a cave inside. It turned out that the interior of the ruined temple was very deep. Some of the walls were more than ten meters high, and the main hall was divided into three parts.

Moreover, the statues of gods in the temple were all made of iron and were extremely heavy. Later, they were carried to make steel during the steel-making industry.

So now there is nothing inside the temple, only ruins are left, and only a stone well remains intact, which is worth a look.

"Is it a living well?" Chen Zhi asked.

"Yes!" Wu Hua replied.

"That well is a serious sweet water well. From ancient times to the present, I don't know how many generations, it has been a place where villagers drink water for generations.

I drank the water there when I was a child. I remember that the water in the well was very sweet, like honey, and the cooking was also very delicious.

At that time, people in the village would go up to the back mountain to fetch water from the well and go back to cook food.

Later, some cadres from the town came down and said that since the village had running water, they should try not to drink wild well water.

It is said that the well water is exposed to wind and rain for many years, and the fallen leaves are deposited, which will produce fermentation toxins.

So now there are fewer people going to fetch water. I don’t know if it’s because of my psychology, but I feel like the rice I cook now is not as delicious as it used to be.”

"Is there nothing left except the well?" Chen Zhi asked,

"Are there any stone statues left behind? Generally, there are some sculptural stone statues or stone tablets in ancient temples. We are more interested in these things..."

"Yes!" Wu Hua thought for a while and said,

"I don't go to that place very often, but I remember that although the temple is gone, there is a broken monument with inscriptions on it in the northeast corner.

It’s just that I don’t recognize the words on it, they are like ghostly symbols.”

"Then take us to see it tonight..." Chen Zhi said.
