Chapter 867 The manifestation of growing up

In addition to the big caves, there are also some "small caves". Many of the small caves are completely dug out manually for the purpose of a mineral that is abundant here - saltpeter. .

Many cave entrances still have simple stone walls, stone beds, and stoves for cooking saltpeter.

Captain Li said that the gangsters in Bandit Rock were able to make homemade explosives. Later, when the production team opened the lime kiln, they also used explosives for a period of time. Although it was a black powder formula, it could still crack mountains and crack rocks. , the power is quite huge.

After investigation, both Zhou Zhi and Fang Wenyu agreed that Swan Pond could become the "headquarters" of gangs in this area, not only because of the natural lake here, but also because of this.

In addition to these, the scenery here is exceptionally beautiful. There are waterfalls and springs coming out of caves everywhere in the mountains, and there are rich varieties of orchids and butterflies.

The funniest thing is that Zhou Zhi and Yang He also tried fishing, but within a few fishing rods, the nest was occupied by a ferocious animal. The first time they fished, Zhou Zhi was so frightened that he almost threw away the rod. .

This thing has a smooth body, brown-black skin, four short legs and a long tail. After looking carefully, I found out that it is a giant salamander.

After that, they caught several fish of this kind, so Zhou Zhi and Yang He had to give up fishing.

The current ecology here is so good that if you catch a fish, you will encounter a nest of giant salamanders. If I tell this to the third master back to Jiachuan, he probably won’t believe it.

This kid sighs all day long now that there are fewer and fewer river fish in the Yangtze River, and it is getting harder and harder to harvest river fresh food.

In addition to orchids, it is still the season for many flowers to bloom, such as lilies, camellia oleifera, burnet burnet and cassia, white, red and yellow. The folks here are planting them as crops, and the mountains are covered with flowers. The valley is full of patches.

Zhang Xinyi has a special feeling for the flowers here, because she and her sister were named after the medicinal flowers and plants by Imperial Physician Zhao.

These flower fields, ah, medicine fields, also consume a lot of film.

Two days later, Zhou Zhi and his party were preparing to return, and the matter of Aunt Lu Yao's study had also been finalized.

Originally, the school had to collect sponsorship fees based on five points difference, which was the minimum of one thousand plus five five hundred, for a total of three thousand and five. Zhou Zhi and Lao Xu said that they had already assessed Aunt Lu Yao's level, and it should be It's a minimum admission, and you don't have to pay the difference fee. It's not easy for people in the mountains to collect so much fees at once. Can you be accommodating?

Lao Xu finally "discounted" one thousand, saying that even if the minimum sponsorship fee is one thousand, the remaining expenses such as housing fees, materials, food, etc. will be more or less in 1,500 years. Yes, let the family collect the two thousand and five thousand expenses first.

The rest is to study hard and wait to take the exam, and then decide whether to withdraw or make up for it.

Then Zhou Zhi suggested that Lu Yaogu should go with them now and go to Rongshan Central School to attend the English tutoring class of my eldest cousin. This is a subject that seriously hinders rural children. Let my eldest cousin take advantage of it. Even in just three weeks, you can achieve a lot of results in one go.

And when you get to Rongshan, you can get access to the test papers they used, and you can also have a quick look before the exam.

Rongshan is not far from Fengming, and Captain Li can go visit his granddaughter on weekends.

After a short period of contact, Team Li’s family has placed great trust in Zhou Zhi and decided to adopt Zhou Zhi’s suggestions.

So there was one more person crowded in the car on the way out, but it was still easy to arrange. Captain Li sat in the boys' row, Dingding sat on his lap, and Jiang Shuyi returned to the passenger seat, vacating the The position is given to Lu Yaogu.

I originally had to pack a lot of clothes, but Jiang Shuyi said there was no need. She was similar in stature to Lu Yaogu. She had gotten so many clothes in the past two years that she could hardly fit them in the wardrobe.

Lu Yaogu's character is very similar to the third sister's gentleness and calmness, but she also has a bit of Ye Xin's refreshing personality. I believe the eldest lady will also like her very much. Zhou Zhi's idea is that the two can live together. . As for not trusting strangers blindly, Captain Li and Zhou Zhi didn't think about it.

Zhou Zhi is now considered a minor celebrity in Jiachuan, and it is easy for Captain Li and Lu Ting to find out who he is.

As for Zhou Zhi, he just thinks that it is not easy to create a reading seed in Swan Pond, so he will give him as much support as he can.

Just like how my fourth cousin helped many children back then. Many of them were out-of-school children he met on the way to the students’ homes, and he helped them casually.

However, Captain Li was still a little worried about his grandson. He followed Zhou Zhi to Rongshan Central School and met the eldest lady and cousin-in-law before he was completely relieved.

After arranging for Aunt Lu to live in the home of the eldest lady of the Central School and open a small stove, Zhou Zhi took Captain Li to Jiachuan to meet Lao Xu at Jiachuan Middle School and pay the fees.

Although Lao Xu looked businesslike, the topics and attitude of his chat with Zhou Zhihe once again made Captain Li feel more at ease.

Because the topic between the two of them was to request Zhou Zhi to come to the school to give a report to the junior students when he came back from the first semester of university, and to cheer them up as a role model.

Zhou Zhi said with a grimace that he had a guilty conscience, Lao Xu, you know, I read all the extracurricular books in your class, how can I be considered a hard-working person? On the contrary, he is a typical example of not listening to greetings...

Then Xu Youzhi started to stare, did I ask you to tell your juniors this? Let me tell you how you explore efficient learning methods, how you designate comprehensive study plans, and how you pair up to encourage each other to make progress together. As long as you use the right methods, you can still get the top score in the exam even if you devote enough time to expand and improve extracurricular knowledge... ...Can this still make it difficult for you to die?

Zhou Zhi had no choice but to admit defeat, okay, okay, you are the boss and you have the final say...

After meeting Xu Youzhi, Zhou Zhi took Lao Li to Zaoling Bridge again. Jiang Shuyi had already used what he could no longer use. A big bag of clothes, as well as study materials, notes and test papers provided by Fang Wenyu, were taken to Rongshan by Lu Yaogu.

After that, Captain Li was extremely grateful and said goodbye to him and Yaogu Lu.

“I never thought we could help others.” On the way back to Jiachuan, Jiang Shuyi was in a good mood.

Indeed, being able to do such a thing may be regarded as a sign of "growing up" in the hearts of Jiang Shuyi and even all his friends.

During this graduation holiday, I am afraid that this incident will be the most meaningful thing they will recall many years later.

After a day's rest, the friends set out again, this time to Manzhou to feast on Feng Xueshan.

As they were about to arrive at Miduo Town in Manzhou, the vehicle made a turn and drove towards the Yangtze River.

At the pier of Miduo Town, the friends got off the car, got on the ferry, and arrived at a lonely mountain opposite Miduo Town.

The solitary mountain is called Longtou Mountain. There is the ruins of a fortress on the mountain, overlooking the Yangtze River in a desolate manner, controlling the passage down the river.

Standing on the boat and looking from a distance, the boat seems to be heading towards an "oasis in the river".

The Yangtze River flows from the north, then turns west and then south and east. The water conditions are complex and the beaches are dangerous, forming a natural pattern of cliffs and water on three sides, like a moat.

The peninsula guarded by the moat is shaped like an arm, which is why this ancient city got its name - City of God's Arm.
