Chapter 865 Old Stories and Legends
At that time they were in a group, one male classmate and two female classmates.
As they walked to the Swan Pond, the three of them heard gunshots. The male classmate asked the second lady and another female classmate to hide in the grass while he groped forward to explore the situation.
Before leaving, the male classmate told them that if they didn’t come back by nightfall, the second concubine would go back with the female classmate to look for the main force.
As a result, this male classmate left and never came back.
The second mistress and the others did not dare to move, and when it was almost dark, they quietly returned.
Later, they were told by the team that went into the mountains to look for their male classmate that the male classmate they were traveling with was discovered by bandits who wanted to rob him of his "road".
The "road strip" was the certificate that allowed customs clearance after the road was blocked at that time. If it fell into the hands of bandits, the consequences would be serious.
The male student chewed up the note and swallowed it. He was determined not to leave it to the bandits. He was tortured by the bandits and eventually brutally killed. When he was discovered by the troops, he had already been disemboweled by the bandits.
But the gangsters' arrogance was only temporary, and they could only deal with the unarmed common people and work teams. Once the troops arrived, they were quickly and completely wiped out.
Many epic battle deeds took place here, but they are somewhat different from the records in the county annals. The deeds described by Captain Li are mostly described from the perspective of bandits.
This is how Zhou Zhi felt when he saw Margaret's work "Gone with the Wind" for the first time. What Zhou Zhi had seen before was the great slave liberation war that took place on that continent and the absolute dominance of the north. Justice, but all this is completely different in the eyes of a southern woman.
Captain Li was not that "reactionary", but he still expressed sympathy for some bandit leaders, saying that if they were not bewitched by the defeated army, these people could have been "reformed anyway."
After all, they are all "the poor's team", but some of them entered the Red Army's advance reconnaissance team, and some entered the "second camp".
Then this topic was strangled by the third brother. The political awareness of the production team leader of Modao Creek in Fengming Township still needs to be improved. What we casually chatted at the wine table is called wine talk. After drinking, the conversation will be over. It's over once the wind blows it away.
Zhou Zhi felt that the third brother was being humorous inadvertently, but no, the original English name of "Gone with the Wind" was "Gone with the Wind", just let the wind blow away.
We were very careful, but after lunch, the boys still couldn't stand it anymore and fell asleep in the guest room.
It was already very late when I woke up. The guest room was facing the west, and the sunlight slanting in through the window was already orange.
Only then did Zhou Zhi shake up his friends and go out to find girls.
Now is the time when the light and scenery are perfect. No need to ask, they must be taking pictures by the lake.
Sure enough, when they came to the lake, everyone found that there was an extra bamboo raft on the lake, the color was still green, and it was tied up.
Originally, this was a working platform, where Jiang Shuyi photographed girls rowing boats.
Then he became the scenery. Aunt Lu suggested that the bamboo raft and Jiang Shuyi matched well and that they should take a photo as a souvenir.
Then the girls realized with surprise, yes, among the green mountains and green waters, the bamboo raft is more beautiful than the boat!
So it was switched again, the boat became a platform, and the bamboo raft became a prop.
The situation changed when the boys came over. With naughty guys like Zhou Zhi and Wei Fei, everyone quickly turned the serious shooting venue into a water-sprinkling festival venue. Except for Lu Yaogu, who was responsible for taking photos and punting the boat, everyone became drowned.
The water in the Swan Pond was shallow, and in the end, even Zhang Xinyi, who didn't know how to swim, and Wei Fei, who wasn't very good at swimming, started playing in chest-deep water.
There are many small fish in the Swan Pond. Except for predatory fish such as catfish, bass, mandarin fish, and cockroaches, carp and grass carp are nowhere to be seen.
However, there are two kinds of fish here that are similar in shape to grass carp and taste very delicious, Qingbo and Junyu. The scientific names of both fish are called barbed barb. They are also rare aquatic products of the Hongshui River in Jiachuan. .
According to Dingding, carps only go as far as Modao Creek. There is also a legend there that there is a treasured sword under Modao Creek. When carps get there, they will drop their tails and turn into dragons and fly to the sky.
Therefore, ordinary carp do not dare to cross Modao Creek to the Swan Pond. Those who can come are the reserve army of ascendants, which is extremely rare.
The grass carp's failure to come is another legend. The father-in-law of the Swan Pond decided a case in which the grass carp sued the military fish. The grass carp said that the military fish was overbearing and monopolized the Modao River and the Swan Pond, and was not a son of man.
After investigation, Tu Tu Gong found that grass carp was lazy and greedy, while military fish was diligent and thrifty, so he beat the grass carp out of Tu Tu Temple with a stick and punished it never to enter the Swan Pond again.
However, Zhou Zhi knows that these are temporary phenomena and may have something to do with the temperature and nutrient level of the water body, because as far as he knows, the downstream of Swan Pond will soon be dammed, and then the overall water level of Swan Pond will rise. , the water will also become turbid and green, and eventually people will raise cages in the middle of the lake to raise high-value bass and mandarin fish.
Carp and grass carp fry are also put into the reservoir, and their feces are used to enrich the water body to grow small fish, which is used as "added feed" to enhance the activity of bass and mandarin fish.
The aquaculture project in Swan Pond will eventually become an artifact for farmers in Huzhou to escape poverty, but now this gem-like lake-like scene will eventually disappear and will never be seen again.
After playing in the water for a while, Zhou Zhi took the camera from Jiang Shuyi and stood in the water close to the water to take the shot.
Jiang Shuyi reached into the water and gently fiddled with the water. She tilted her head in a straw hat slightly and smiled at the camera.
With Jiang Shuyi's smiling face, the clear lake water seemed to be filled with sparkling warm colors in an instant, like countless yellow, orange, and red paintbrushes, restoring wantonly on the underwater grass. Countless lines like neon lights are formed in the thoughtful shots.
"It's time to eat -" Smoke was already rising from the tile roof of the wooden building on the slope behind, and Lao Li called to everyone from above.
Next, the friends spent two days playing in the Swan Pond. Under the leadership of Lu Yaogu and Dingding, they visited some interesting places around the lake, such as forests, caves, streams, and a hilltop I found a grassland-like place with an ancient small village. The villagers' main industry was raising cattle, growing tea on the sunny slopes, and growing gastrodia elata in the woods.
Zhou Zhi actually discovered something related to his relatives here-Swanchi Township Primary School.
After chatting with the villagers, Zhou Zhi learned that this was built by "Su Xiucai" in the cowshed here in the 1959th year.
Taking a closer look, it turns out that Su Xiucai was his fourth cousin. The teaching staff at that time was very weak, and the courses were Chinese and mathematics. The mathematics teacher was a part-time accountant of the brigade, and the Chinese teacher was a part-time barefoot doctor.
In order to establish this school, the fourth cousin stayed at the brigade leader's house to eat, live and work with them.
No one can bear the sudden addition of a large ration household to the family. The captain can't hold on for a few days. As long as you return to Shuzhong quickly, we can talk about anything.
Originally, in central Guizhou, we only had melons and vegetables for half a year, and three months of red potato excrement and three months of grain excrement. Now you are almost giving me melons and vegetables for three seasons, and you have to dig up kudzu and fern roots in the mountains!
Speaking of these, it makes people dumbfounded, but also brings tears in laughter.
