Chapter 078 On the Black Cloud Village
In order to give Ren Yonghai a chance to break out, I used my body as bait and ran the two monsters up the trail into the mountain. Unexpectedly, although the monster with long legs and feet was ugly, it had a bright mind and actually knew how to understand the earth.
The method of escaping surrounded me from front to back, and the situation immediately became precarious.
I casually picked up a stone and threw it at the monster in front of me. I heard a muffled sound and hit my forehead. But it refused to dodge and showed no sign at all. It continued to rush towards me like a fly scratching its head.
"This place is really evil. Why are there so many awesome characters?" I was puzzled as to why the weirdos and monsters I encountered recently were all so evil, with extraordinary abilities and no weak points at all.
But the most important thing right now is to find a way to deal with these two living devils in front of me. In order to avoid being hooked again, I covered my neck with both hands, curled up, put my knees to my stomach, and kept rolling.
Although the posture is embarrassing, it is the experience learned from practice.
The human body is no more protected by armor than other animals. The neck and belly are the most vulnerable parts of the human body. A little carelessness can lead to death.
As I was rolling around on the ground without any plan, the two monsters finally stopped attacking. Fearing that I would escape, they began to circle around me. The sand on the ground was constantly being lifted up, and it didn't take long for me to
His shoulders and back were bleeding.
However, I know that I must not show weakness at this moment. Once I stop, I may be eaten by them at any time. This competition is actually challenging the patience and perseverance of both parties.
I don’t know how long I rolled, but I gradually began to see stars. As soon as the speed slowed down, the monster guarding me immediately pounced forward. I rolled over backwards, put my hands on the ground, and kicked its belly as hard as I could.
Go down.
The thing let out a whirring cry and flew out all of a sudden. This kick took all my strength. If it got up again, I would have no choice but to give up.
At this moment, a bright light suddenly lit up behind me, which was particularly dazzling in the dark night. The "chugging" sound of the engine came from a distance like a life-saving straw.
"You're finally here!"
The blue truck honked its horn, and Ren Yonghai held the steering wheel with one hand and stretched out the door with the other hand, gesturing to me to get in. I rolled up and stood up, and stepped on the monster's head with one foot.
He locked the car door and flew into the car. The two monsters were not willing to give up easily, and slapped the sky and the ground with their big claws like iron hooks.
"Turn, turn quickly!" As I climbed into the car, I pulled on the steering wheel and twisted it hard. The butt of the car swung out, knocking the pursuers out.
I seized this momentary opportunity and hunkered down in the car.
"Sit tight!" Seeing that I had landed safely, Ren Yonghai stepped on the accelerator without hesitation and heard the wheels squeaking as he sped down the mountain.
I lay slumped on the passenger seat, breathing heavily, wishing my chest would burst. When I looked up, I saw that Xu Yaxian and Caiyun were both safe and sound, and were placed in the back row by Ren Yonghai.
"How should we go now?" Ren Yonghai didn't know the way back, "No matter what, we'll drive out first."
"This Hengduan mountainous area has high mountains and deep valleys, and there are high mountains and ridges everywhere. Villages in the mountains are often dozens of miles apart, making transportation extremely inconvenient," Ren Yonghai explained.
The Hengduan Mountains are composed of Daxue Mountain, Yunling, Nushan and other north-south mountain ranges arranged in parallel, intersecting east-west traffic, and are collectively called the Hengduan Mountains. "The road is difficult to travel in Hengduan Mountains..." vividly reflects the complex topography of the Hengduan Mountains.
The Red Army went north to fight against Japan. During the Long March, it crossed the Minshan Mountains and passed through the grasslands of northwest Sichuan. It can be said that it went through many difficulties and dangers.
The terrain in the Hengduan Mountains is complex, and the climates vary greatly between the mountains and valleys. In some alpine valley areas, the vertical zoning is very clear, from the tropical climate at the foot of the mountain to the subarctic climate in the mountains.
Obviously. Due to the significant vertical changes in climate in the mountain canyon area, there are many types of plants, ranging from tropical plants or subtropical plants to plants in the alpine cold temperate zone. In addition, the crops in the Hengduan Mountains are also rich and diverse, and our country can grow them. All crops can generally be cultivated here.
Due to the complex terrain and significant vertical climate changes in the Hengduan Mountains, local people say that the climate here is "one mountain has four seasons, and the weather is different ten miles away."
"Well, in my opinion, this is the only way to do it."
After saying that, Ren Yonghai stepped on the accelerator and said no more.
At this moment, his vision suddenly went dark, and he passed out.
When I woke up again, everything was dark. My head hurt terribly. I shook my head, covered my temples with my hands and stood up slowly.
I tried hard to recall what happened. I only remember Ren Yonghai driving his car speeding on the highway, and what happened next, I really can't recall.
I wanted to get up, and grabbed the fence next to me with my arms to support myself, but I didn't want my head to suddenly hit something hard. The pain made me instinctively shrink, but I didn't expect that my buttocks bumped, and I suddenly lost my center of gravity and fell down.
At this time, a bright light suddenly shot in. I covered my eyes and reacted for a long time. I saw a figure smiling at me outside and then said: "Lin Kun, if you don't wake up, we will be ready." The ground buried it.”
At first, I thought it was Ren Yonghai, but then I thought the voice was that of a woman. With her small body, she seemed to be that little liar Xu Yaxian.
At this time, there was another violent shaking under me. The guy twisted his feet and fell in, almost crushing me to death. When I looked at the face in front of me, it turned out to be Xu Yaxian, and he said: "Xu Yaxian , what are you doing! What kind of shabby place is this?"
Xu Yaxian lifted up my trouser leg with a half-smile, pointed at the bandaged injury and asked, "Forgot? Did you faint from the pain?"
I nodded: "What happened next? Where is this place?"
Xu Yaxian stretched out her hand and pulled, and the black cloth curtain hanging in front of us suddenly dropped. The green mountain terraces suddenly came into my eyes. Only then did I realize that we were now in a simple carriage, driven by two tall horses. He is leading the way on the mountain road.
I was wondering what was going on, when a burst of horse hoofs came from far away, and I saw Ren Yonghai and a man dressed as a mountain man riding two horses from behind. Ren Yonghai smiled and replied: "Our car broke down halfway. Well, luckily I met this old man."
Ren Yonghai gestured to the mountain man next to him with his hand. He smiled naively and said: "I unloaded a batch of goods in Kunming yesterday, and now I am preparing to go home. Going down is the local minority inhabited area, and when I reach Heiyun It's near the village, so it's inconvenient for outsiders to enter, so I can only send it this far."
"Brother, may I ask where Heiyun Village is and which ethnic group lives there?"
"Heiyun Village, speaking of it, that village is quite special. The surrounding mountains and forests are called Heiyun Village, but it's hard to say where their village is, because outsiders usually can't go there. Yes, as for the ethnic groups, it’s strange to say that they don’t look like ethnic minorities. They usually wear Hanfu, which is the Hanfu that is very popular among urbanites now, the ancient kind.”
"Wear Hanfu?" I asked in surprise, "Apart from the Han people who wear Hanfu, which other ethnic group has similar clothing customs?"
Ren Yonghai shook his head. Xu Yaxian thought for a while but had no idea. At this time, I turned to look at Caiyun. Caiyun raised her head and glanced at me. She wanted to say something, but she swallowed it back.
I had no choice but to find another way to find out.
"After sleeping for so long, my body is rusty. I have to practice hard." Seeing Ren Yonghai riding a horse, I felt itchy. I got up, stopped the driver, and got on the horse.
Ren Yonghai on the side quickly told me to be careful,
He said that the carriage at the back is full of high-end medicinal materials, but don’t ruin my brother’s business.
"It doesn't matter, I haven't ridden a horse for a long time, I just have a good time." Looking at the vast world around me, breathing the fresh air in the mountains and fields, I felt full of energy, shook my bones, waved my whip, and jumped up.
go out.
The sky was high and the sky was high enough for me to fly, and I felt very comfortable. It didn't take long for Ren Yonghai's urgent shout to ring in my ears with the mountain wind: "Lin Kun, you are running the wrong way, there is a cliff over there!"
In the Hengduan Mountains, there are many hills, valleys and ravines. Even today in the new era, there are still many places that are inaccessible to human beings. Not to mention the distance, take the destination of our trip, Heiyun Village, for example.
No other means of transportation can enter.
The folk customs here still maintain the natural style of a hundred years ago. All goods are transported in from the outside by the caravans along the border, carried by horses or mules, along the mountain road of hundreds of miles. If you are afraid of the steep mountain roads and frequent baskets, there are other options.
The best way is to take the water route.
However, I heard that the old man said that taking the waterway would not only waste time, but also that there are many shocking folklores circulating around here. So most of the time, for the sake of safety, traders from all over the world prefer to hire the "horse legs" of the caravan.
"Shipping goods.
After passing the intersection in front, you will reach the territory of Heiyun Village. It is difficult for outsiders to penetrate deeply.
"If you really plan to go there...my cavalry can't get in." The mountain people backed down.
"What if we go in in the name of merchants? Aren't you often transporting medicine in the mountains?" I asked.
"If you want to enter the Heiyunzhai area, you can only hire professional caravans to lead the way. They hang out here all year round, and there are Han people in the caravans, as well as racers from other ethnic minorities. The residents are relatively less wary of them, and the scarce daily necessities are all
It depends on them to exchange goods for transportation."
In the Hengduan Mountains where many ethnic groups live together, the major caravans are the real uncrowned kings.
"To tell you the truth, our place has inconvenient transportation. My business is to earn some hard money by running errands. However, if I want to sell high-value products, I have to do it through the caravan and let them take a commission from it."
When I heard that it was such a trouble, I asked him if he knew any caravans. He said yes, but they were out running business all year round, and the area near Heiyun Village was just a small stronghold, so it would depend on luck whether they could find one.
"Then please contact me."
"Okay, these are all small things."
That night we entered Heiyun Village, a place with many mountains and rivers and excellent scenery. Although Heiyun Village is a city in name, it is actually a village with a permanent population of less than a thousand people.
The terrain here is low-lying and surrounded by water. There are many times more waterways and bridges in the village than there are dry roads. It is especially famous for the Eighteen Bays of the central waterway, also known as "Quima Bay".
When our carriage arrived here, we had to stay at the inn outside the city and switch to shipping. In the local saying, "There are no mules and horses on the road, and the sky flies in the water." This means that there is no future in Heiyun Village by land.
, as long as you enter the water, you can reach the sky. Although it is a bit exaggerated, as long as you have seen the prosperous local waterway culture with your own eyes, you can understand that this statement is absolutely unfounded.
After my brother contacted the caravan, he parted ways with us. The caravan was very trustworthy and had already prepared a scented boat to meet us at the inlet of Shibawan Bay.
This dragon head incense is nearly ten meters long, divided into upper and lower floors and three large cabins. It is said that it is a magic weapon that can only be used when welcoming distinguished guests in the village.
Although it was evening, the river was brightly lit, and the densely packed merchant ships almost filled the river.
