Chapter 859 Gemstone Lake
"Huh? Brother Wang or your relative?" Dingding asked.
“Well, in terms of seniority, he has to call me Xiaoyaoye.” Zhou Zhi smiled and glanced at Dingding who looked confused in the rearview mirror: “But we all have different opinions, how do you know Dingding? Him?"
"Recognize You know!" Dingding said, "When they bring the coal down, they pour water on the car."
"Why do they need to pour water on it?" Jiang Shuyi said a little curiously. 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 smiled and said, “The coal trucks that pass by are filled with water and sometimes washed.”
Zhou Zhi secretly laughed in his heart. Nailing one sentence almost gave away 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 pull coal in large trucks, which will become heavy after being poured with water. The extra weight can be replaced by coal and pulled down, and sold to roadside people like Captain Li who are quick-thinking.
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.
This is a one-stop shop for officials, gangs, caravans, and farmers who specialize in logistics and transportation.
Both officials and businessmen, farmers and bandits, interdependence, mutual balance and mutual cooperation are 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 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 ‘Shouting to Cut off the Water’ ’, when the water shouts, the mountain god will release the water, and if he shouts again, he will take it away. ”
"What?!" Fang Wenyu couldn't believe her ears: "Is it so magical?"
"An investigation team came here before, and they didn't know the reason after investigating for a long time." 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 will be different. Lao Li and Dingding pointed out several places along the way. I heard that they are all very interesting and you can pick bayberry. A place where kiwis are picked and orchids are dug.
But considering the urgent mood of Lao Li and Dingding, Zhou Zhi and the others, in addition to playing in that magical place called "Shouting Off Water", changed the drinking water they brought with them to mountain springs, and headed straight towards We drove past the Swan Pond.
Shouting Broken Water is indeed magical. 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 become smaller. 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 many pheasants on the road. The environment and scenery are beyond praise.
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, 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 like being placed in light blue glass. If it weren't for the occasional shining fish gliding among the grass, it would be hard to believe that this is a natural environment.
The cave is a super filter. The water in this lake flows out of the caves in the surrounding mountains. When it first comes out, the water quality is almost pure with no 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 looks like Jiuzhaigou Waterscape.
Zhou Zhi also saw such a landscape for the first time, and was fascinated for a while.
"It's so beautiful! Let's take pictures!" Zhang Xinyi said: "There are blooming trees over there!"
It's past the peak flowering period in the mountains, but there are also some flowering trees in bloom. It is very beautiful, with light crimson and bright yellow mixed together, very beautiful.
“Is that a camellia?” Jiang Shuyi squinted her eyes and looked at the flower tree: “Or is it a rose?”
"That's Cassia." Yang He said, "It's a medicinal material. We have less of it on the Jiachuan side. I 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. To make a pillow core."
"There seems to be a piece over there." Liang Hong pointed to the distance: "It's red there."
"I can't see clearly, Captain Li. What?" Zhou Zhi put up a pergola and looked over there, but he couldn't see clearly.
“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 without improving my eyesight. Baozhu."
"We call it cucumber scent here," Dingding said, "The leaves smell like cucumber when rubbed."
At this time, it was halfway across the lake. There was a figure moving in front of the tile-roofed house on the slope, and a voice shouted over there: "Are they Dingding and the old man——"
Dingding jumped and waved his hands: "Uncle, uncle——"< br>
“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.
