Chapter 183 Tianshu Cliff, Swallow Cave, Hanging Coffin
Chapter 180: Tianshu Cliff, Swallow Cave, Hanging Coffin

Li Junge asked A Yin: "Is the stream under our feet the Dushui stream?"

The semi-arc cliff valley is very quiet and has an echo effect, which is a very strange experience.

Ayin's answer was accompanied by an echo, as if speaking through a loudspeaker: "Well, it is Dushui Creek. This stream was actually called 'Poisonous Water Creek' at first, but later you thought the name was not good, so you changed it. There is a legend in the village. There is peach blossom miasma in the upper reaches, every year in April and May there will be poisoned fish drifting down the river, I heard that the water is not drinkable."

Li Junge heard this for the first time, and said: "No way, the Dushui River flows into the Wuxi River. We haven't heard the elders talk about this in the lower reaches."

Ayin said indifferently: "Aren't you the ditch master, you should study this matter slowly."

Li Junge: "..."

A Yin pointed to the end point of the zipline and said: "This cliff is called 'Tianshu Cliff'. Do you think it looks like a few books on the shelf? The spines are connected."

The two slowly slipped onto the platform of Tianshuya, Li Junge got off the support and strolled on the platform.

The two stood by the railing on the platform and looked into the distance. At their feet was a volleying cliff. The Dushui Creek circled hundreds of meters below the cliff. On the other side was a slope full of native trees. Extending to the horizon, there is another mountain range on the horizon, blocking the line of sight and enclosing the hills in this area.

It's like being on top of a big steamer, looking at the small green buns placed in the steamer.

Li Junge said: "The scenery here is really unique, Ayin, you said that if these platforms are transformed into flying pavilions, it's okay to come up and stay for two nights to see the sunrise, moonrise, and galaxy. Isn't it very beautiful?"

Ayin rested her elbows on the railing of the platform, and was fascinated by the magnificent scenery, and said, "Erpi, our hometown is really beautiful! It really shouldn't be so poor!"

After speaking, he tilted his head and looked at Li Junge: "But if it is really built according to what you said, how will the hygiene problem be solved?"

Li Junge smiled, and said tightly: "At such a romantic moment, shouldn't we talk about Fengyue and life? Village chief, look at your building is crooked!"

A Yin blushed, leaned on Li Junge, and said, "Well, let's not think about that for now, let's change our mood and enjoy the scenery."

Li Junge embraced A Yin, hugged her slender waist, looked at the little fluff on her earlobe, couldn't help but kissed her lightly, and said, "A Yin, in my heart, you are the most beautiful scenery. "

Ayin leaned on Li Junge's strong chest, felt her boyfriend's body temperature and heartbeat with her eyes closed, and said, "Erpi, I went back to my hometown feeling lonely, but it's great to have you in Lijiagou."

The gentle mountain wind was blowing, and the two listened quietly to the sound of the mountain, feeling that their hearts were completely released to each other at this moment. Such a silent communication was worth a thousand words.

After a long time, the two calmed down, looked at each other with a smile, and started again.

In order to take care of Li Junge, Ayin no longer pursued speed. In these places with amazing scenery, the two slowly descended while enjoying the scenery.

The cliff scene on the right side of this section is even more peculiar. A huge triangular crack extends from Dushui Creek all the way up for 200 meters before disappearing.

It's like two mountain walls leaning against each other, revealing a huge hole underneath.

From the top down, one can see part of the cave, only to see that the cliff is full of pits and hollows, and in the upper part of the cave, there are many square long wooden boxes, which are big enough for a person to lie down on.

Some of these wooden boxes are placed together, some are far away from the group, and they are all hung on the cliff thousands of feet above the ground in an unimaginable way, there are one or two hundred boxes.

Ayin looked serious, and said to Li Junge: "This is the Swallow Cave. Every summer, a large number of swallows gather here. It is also the place where our ancestors put their tombs."

This is the hanging coffin of the Miao people. Li Junge has read several books. According to the Tang Dynasty Zhang Yu's "Chaoye Qianzai": "Wuximan, his parents died, and his corpse was left in the village outside the pavilion for three years. The coffin is buried in a niche carved in the half-rib of a high mountain near the river, and a large coffin is hung from the mountain, which is as high as the coffin... There is a coffin for death, but it is not buried. Do not cover up."

Shaking his head, he said, "You Miao people lived a really hard life in ancient times. You can only build a coffin like this after exhausting your wealth."

With steam in his eyes, A Yin said: "In the ancient songs, it was sung that our ancestors were defeated in the war and went all the way west, and finally came here. After they died, they were buried with saddles, knives and bows, bamboo hats, luggage, heads west and feet east, Facing the east. For them, death is just a new journey, a journey home..."

"The reason why they are not buried is because they believe that one day, their descendants will bring their bones and return to their original hometown."

Li Junge hugged A Yin's shoulders to comfort him: "My hometown is where my heart is at ease, and your ancestors are too persistent."

Ayin lowered her head, put her hands on her chest, whispered softly, and sang: "

O ancestors who led horses and cows,

Staggering across the Wuxi River...

The top of the green hill on Longtian Cliff,

Sit down in our grass nest...

Bringing clear Dongzi water,
The fat sunny slope was burned...

The terraced fields all over the mountain have been plowed,
Planted the black and bright golden barley...

Welcomed the newborn Yaowazi,
Sending away the aging old lady...

Rocking horses in the woods by the mountain,
Sing flying songs under the open moon...

The top of the green hill on Longtian Cliff,

Sit down in our grass nest...

O ancestors who led horses and cows,

Staggering across the Wuxi River...

......"

The voice is low and tactful, looping back and forth, surrounded in the hollow valley with echo effect, full of a sacred and serene religious charm.

Li Junge thinks of Ayin's ancestors who have gone through many hardships, overcome many difficulties and obstacles, and finally settled in a new home on the cliff. With their own hands, they fought against the harsh natural environment, one after another, and finally found a perfect way to get along with nature , so it thrives.

Their tenacity, persistence, and wisdom made Li Junge awe-inspiring.

A Yin finished singing, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said with a smile to Li Junge: "I just sang "Requiem Song", which is to tell the ancestors that their children and grandchildren are living well now, and I hope their souls will rest in peace. We're running around for our survival."

Li Junge suddenly felt like a thorn on his back: "Oh, our zipline won't disturb your ancestors, will it?"

A Yin smiled slightly, squeezed Li Junge's palm, and said: "No ancestor would wish that his descendants would suffer and suffer from poverty for generations. Now is the best time. Communicate with the outside world, transport products, and let them see that our village is getting more and more prosperous. The ancestors will only be happy in their hearts, and I believe they will laugh at some small disturbances."

After speaking, he turned to Yanzidong and shouted loudly: "Don't worry! With me and Erpi here, our hometown will definitely be better!"

There were waves of echoes, clear and exciting, full of confidence and expectation, as if the ancestors were also responding: "It will definitely be better...it will be better...better..."

Seeing the incomparably confident look on Ayin's pretty face, Li Junge was full of admiration.

Even myself, even after I have Golden Finger, sometimes doubt my own ability. After all, it is much more difficult to lead a group of folks to become rich than to achieve myself alone.

But this girl with a pure and open mind never seems to have doubted herself. She believes that with her own hands and mind, she can pull her hometown out of poverty and onto the road to prosperity.

Such a girl deserves to be respected, cherished, and supported for the rest of her life.

If you rake your ears, you can rake your ears. I rake my ears willingly, so you can say whatever you want!

……

All the way down, and back to the Banshan Forest Farm.

After this trip, the hearts of each other got closer, and both of them felt that the trip was worthwhile.

Zhu Chaoan came to look for the two of them, and when Li Junge saw him, he said, "Oh, it's a pity that you don't go up with us. The scenery up here is very beautiful, and you can see the hanging coffins of Ayin and their ancestors on the way."

Zhu Chaoan quickly waved his hands and said, "Without you two father and mother, you two are so courageous, by the way, the zipline is finished, can I go back to Jiachuan?"

Li Junge said: "Don't, Caitou said that there can be a fishing center in Huluxi, look at this..."

Zhu Chaoan repeatedly begged for mercy: "Brother, it's been a long time since I've played and sang KTV with Xiaomei. Although you have beautiful mountains and rivers and delicious food, it's always lacking in modern life!"

Now that Li Junge was hungry, he turned to A Yin and said, "A Yin, why don't we go shopping in the city this weekend? It seems that we haven't gone shopping yet! Uncle Pharmacist just said that the medicine for Master Liu is ready." Yes, send it to him by the way. Then bring Lin Wangcai and his mother back."

Ayin smiled and said, "Okay, I haven't been to the county seat for a long time, I can still go and see my eighth wife and sister Qianqian."

Zhu Chaoan was very excited, and said: "Hahaha! That's great, I'll arrange it when we get to the county seat, we'll make the chicken first, and then go to KTV to cheer him up all night!"

Li Junge looked up at the sky: "I can't even remember what I would sing other than the national anthem and nursery rhymes..."

Zhu Chaoan laughed loudly: "Who cares about you! I know Ah Yin sings very well!"

Li Junge was amazed: "How do you know?"

Zhu Chaoan said: "The people in the village said that Erzhun recorded a lot of songs, and they all said that the best singer is Ayin!"

A Yin pursed her lips and said with a smile: "I am also average in popular songs."

Li Junge said: "Humility! Naked modesty!"

The three of them walked towards Uncle Wood's house talking and laughing, and then greeted Dad Yin, telling him that in addition to the wood, there was a thousand catties of glutinous rice that would come down the mountain, and asked him to put it away first, and Li Junge would come to drag the glutinous rice on Monday.
