Chapter 858 Gem Lake

"Huh? Is Brother Wang still your relative?" Dingding asked.

"Well, in terms of seniority, he has to call me Little Yao Ye." Zhou Zhi smiled and glanced at Ding Ding in the rearview mirror, who had a troubled expression on his face: "But we are all talking about our own affairs. How do you know Ding Ding?"

"We know each other!" Dingding said, "When they bring coal down, they have to do it outside our house and pour water on the truck."

"Why do you need to get wet?" Jiang Shuyi was a little curious: "Zhou Zhi, do you know?"

Zhou Zhiyou glanced at Captain Li who was a little nervous in the passenger seat, and said with a smile: "This is the need for long-distance transportation, to prevent the coal from rubbing in the car and overheating and causing a fire, right Master Li?"

"Ah, yes! That's it!" Captain Li then smiled and said: "The coal trucks that pass by are filled with water and coal at our place, and sometimes they have to be washed."

Zhou Zhi laughed secretly in his heart. He had just said one sentence and almost leaked industry secrets.

Watering large trucks to prevent frictional overheating and spontaneous combustion is indeed one of the measures, but it is not the main purpose.

The main purpose is to haul coal in large trucks, which will become heavier after being watered. The extra weight can be replaced by coal, pulled out, and sold to smart people on the roadside such as Captain Li.

A cart can haul hundreds of kilograms, and you can earn a lot of money in a day.

This is the tradition of Modao Creek. If you really think that this area was occupied by bandits in the past, you would be too naive.

Here is a one-stop service for officials, gangs, caravans, and farmers who specialize in logistics and transportation.

They are both officials and businessmen, farmers and bandits. They are interdependent, balanced and cooperative. This is the real situation.

"Is there all coal on this road?" Zhang Lu asked as he looked outside the car and noticed a black layer on the stone road.

"Yes, it's all coal." Captain Li introduced: "It looks a little dirty, but after a while it will be clean after turning into the old road."

"The air here is really good, and everything is green and moist," Zhang Xinyi said.

"Have you noticed? The water here is much cleaner than Fubao." He Shiqing said.

"We have cave water here." Captain Li said, "We will pass by several springs in a while, and we will drink the water directly."

"The most amazing thing is 'Shout to cut off the water'. When the water is shouted, the mountain god will release the water, and if he shouts again, it will be taken away."

"What?!" Fang Wenyu couldn't believe her ears: "Is it so magical?"

"An investigation team came here before, and after investigating for a long time, we still don't know why." Lao Li said, "It's time to hit the trail ahead. Let's go take a look later."

With the natives leading the way, the run was different. Lao Li and Dingding pointed out several places along the way. I heard they were all very interesting places where you could pick bayberries, pick kiwis and dig orchids.

But considering the urgent mood of Lao Li and Dingding, Zhou Zhi and the others, in addition to playing at the magical place called "Shouting Broken Water", changed the drinking water they brought with them to mountain springs, and drove directly towards the Swan Pond.

.

It's really magical to call off the water. There is a clear spring seeping out from under the big cliff at a height of one person above the ground.

When Zhou Zhi and the others first arrived, the water was very small. Lao Li inserted bamboo leaves at the spring's eye to guide the water down the cliff. It was only a stream of water the size of a ballpoint pen refill.

But after everyone shouted together, you could see that the water flow increased significantly, and finally became as thick as a ballpoint pen tube.

This flow of water lasted for more than ten minutes and began to gradually decrease. The friends shouted again, and the mountain god grandpa started supplying water again until the two water tanks were filled.

"There are really all kinds of wonders in the world." Fang Wenyu watched the girls follow Lao Li and thank the mountain god Grandpa for the gift. Her firm materialistic heart could not help but be shaken, and she followed suit.

From the moment we left the main road, there were green corridors along the way. We also saw a group of macaques and a lot of pheasants on the road. The environment and scenery are beyond words.

However, walking on such a road is bound to be slow, and sometimes you even have to come down to clear the way and cut off the small branches that grow on the road to avoid scratching the paint of the vehicle.

Finally, near noon, the car arrived at a blue lake and the Swan Pond.

"Wow..." The friends who saw this strange scene were all stunned.

The water quality here is the clearest they have ever seen, and the water plants at the bottom of the lake are as if they are placed in light blue glass. If it weren't for the occasional shining fish sliding through the grass, it would be difficult for people to think that this is a natural environment.

.

Cave is a super filter. The water in this lake flows out from the caves in the surrounding mountains. When it first comes out, the water quality is almost pure without organic matter.

Although a lake was eventually formed, the water here is relatively shallow and the flow is not small, making it difficult for algae to reproduce and survive. In addition to the dense aquatic plants at the bottom of the lake and the surrounding vegetation similar to the rainforest, if you just look at the water body, it really feels like a Jiuzhaigou waterscape.

It was Zhou Zhi's first time to see such a landscape, and he was mesmerized for a while.

"It's so beautiful! Let's take pictures!" Zhang Xinyi said: "There are blooming trees over there!"

It has passed the peak flowering period in the mountains, but there are still some flowering trees in full bloom, with light crimson and bright yellow mixed together, which is very beautiful.

"Is that a camellia?" Jiang Shuyi squinted her eyes and looked at the flower trees: "Or is it a rose?"

"That's Cassia." Yang He said, "It's a medicinal material. We don't have much of it on the Jiachuan side, so we didn't expect it to be so big here."

"Collecting medicine is also a source of income for people in the mountains." Zhou Zhi said: "Cassia seeds can improve eyesight and can also be used as pillow cores."

"There seems to be a patch over there." Liang Hong pointed to the distance: "It's red over there."

"I can't see clearly. Captain Li, what is that?" Zhou Zhi put up a pergola and looked over there, but he couldn't see clearly either.

"That's Diyu." Captain Li smiled and said, "It's also a medicinal material, but it's not wild, but cultivated."

"Diyu... also protects the eyes." Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "It is recorded in "Essential Art of Qi Min" that Diyu is also called Yuzha, which is rare in the north. Therefore, Yin Gongdu said: I would rather get a pound of Diyu than to improve my eyesight.

Orb."

"We call it cucumber scent here." Dingding said, "The leaves smell like cucumber when rubbed."

At this time, there was a figure moving in front of the tile-roofed house on the hillside on the other side of the lake, and a voice shouted over there: "Are they Dingding and the old man?"

Dingding jumped and waved his hands: "Uncle-"

"Oh, wait a moment!" The voice over there was filled with surprise, and then he shouted to the back of the mountain: "My wife, my father-in-law is here!"

Zhou Zhi found it very funny. This family has fully practiced what it means to communicate basically by shouting.

After a while, a small boat cut across the surface of the glazed gem-like lake and rowed quickly towards this side.

"My son-in-law!" Captain Li had a somewhat proud look on his face, which reminded Zhou Zhi of his cousin An Ran who liked to introduce himself in this way.
