Chapter 162 Ningchang Ancient Town
Ningchang Ancient Town is the first batch of historical and cultural towns announced by the CQ Municipal Government.The ancient town is located in Wuxi County, built by mountains and rivers.It is the best ancient town in the junction of Chongqing, Shaanxi and Hubei in the new Three Gorges tourism.

Fan Jiannan and his party first arrived in Chongqing, and then took a speedboat to Wuxi.I have to say that the local tourism industry has provided them with a lot of transportation convenience.

The buildings in the town are ancient and fragrant. Most of the buildings are bamboo and wood structures, and many of them are built near the river. The wooden piles are erected obliquely below, and the wooden buildings are supported on the pillars. These suspended houses are called "diaojiaolou". It is safe, but in fact it is durable and there is no worry of overturning.The Houxi River passes through the Diaojiao Building, dividing the ancient town into two, and it has the beauty of Jiangnan water town.

The streets here are narrow, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with walls on three sides and rocks on the other. The bluestone streets are cramped. Ancient buildings and dwellings such as Diaojiaolou and Guojielou meander along the Houxi River, commonly known as "Seven Li Banbian Street".Fan Jiannan walked on the Qingshi Road in the ancient street, as if he had stepped into the ancient history.

"Okay, don't bother taking pictures, we're not really here to travel. After finishing the work, I'll play with you for a few more days." Fan Jiannan said to Feng Yuan with a smile.

Feng Yuan said disapprovingly, "No, it's rare to come here once. What's wrong with taking pictures along the way? This place is so beautiful."

Fan Jiannan smiled helplessly at Long and said, "From the address, the Mr. Wu you are looking for should live in Houxi. Let's walk all the way there."

When they came, they had already asked a few locals along the way, and basically figured out where they were going.It seemed to be a row of old houses beside Houxi. The three of them strolled past and followed the house number to find the house number 37 they were looking for.

The ancient wooden doors are closed, it is hard to believe that people still live in such a house.However, most surgeons have some eccentricities, especially the elderly.Doesn't Long Daudao live in his dilapidated ancestral house?

Fan Jiannan glanced at Long Boldly and said, "What should I do? Knock on the door?"

Long boldly nodded and said, "Knock the door." After speaking, he raised his hand and knocked on the wooden door, asking, "Is anyone at home? Is Mr. Wu at home?"

After knocking for a few minutes, there was no movement inside.He couldn't help looking at Fan Jiannan and asked, "Will this old man go out?"

Fan Jiannan touched his nose and said, "Maybe the old man is getting old and his ears are not so good. Your knock is too gentle. Try to knock again."

Long Bold had no choice but to knock harder on the door, and shouted, "Is anyone at home? Is Mr. Wu at home?"

After knocking for a long time, there was still no answer, but someone from the upstairs next door scolded me. "Which tortoise is calling the soul in broad daylight? Knock on the door loudly, so that no one can sleep?"

Long Bold was restless and didn't care about the man's complaints, so he continued to knock on the door.

Fan Jiannan suddenly pulled him to his side. When Long Daudao was inexplicably, a broken teapot had fallen on the place where he was standing, and it fell to pieces.The teapot was thrown from upstairs, obviously the guy upstairs next door has lost his patience.

Long Bold was furious immediately, if this teapot hit him, he would be smashed to the ground.The guy upstairs is too wicked.Although I knocked on the door a little louder, it can't be like this, right?

He couldn't help but look up angrily, and a figure leaned out of the upstairs window.The guy wore glasses, had a crew cut, looked dark and thin, and was shirtless, and it wasn't clear whether he was wearing pants or not because of the height restrictions of the upstairs window.It seemed that he hadn't woken up yet, and was annoyed by Long Bold's knock on the door.

The skinny glasses are more angry than Long Bold, and they speak Sichuan dialect quickly and urgently, "My ancestors are so strict, why are you knocking? You turtle, knock again, and I will hit you on the head with the toilet." No."

The guy scolded Long Boldly, and he didn't react for a while.Feng Yuan understood a little, and quickly hid aside, worried that the guy upstairs would really smash down the toilet.

Fan Jiannan suppressed a smile, dragged Long Bold aside, and greeted repeatedly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. My friend didn't know that you were sleeping, brother. Offended, offended. I don't know if my brother knows about this family. Is the master at home?"

"Who are you looking for? This family? They have already moved away." The skinny young man waved impatiently.

Fan Jiannan was taken aback, and quickly said, "Then do you know where they moved?"

"Where did they move, where do I know?" the skinny young man with glasses said loudly, and closed the window with a snap.

Fan Jiannan looked at Long Bold with a gloomy face, and said with a wry smile, "It seems that Mr. Wu has moved. Let's go, find a place to live first, and then slowly figure out a way."

Long boldly said depressedly, "Hey, next time there is a knock on the door, you should go. I was scolded as soon as I got here, and I was almost smashed in the head by that guy. It's really a bad start."

"Don't say that, you will be blessed if you survive a catastrophe. I think your good luck is coming soon." Fan Jiannan smiled and said, "Let's go and find a place to settle down first. I will treat you to Chongqing later. Hot pot. The town is not big, so you can always find someone.”

"I'm already full of anger, and you still let me eat hot pot?" Long Boldly smiled wryly.

Feng Yuan walked over, holding Fan Jiannan's arm and said with a smile, "Who told you to yell and smash the door like that? You deserve it! If you don't knock it down, the two of us will go eat hot pot."

"Hey, can you explain something? He asked me to knock on the door, and made me knock hard. Now that something happened, blame me for what I deserve?" Long Boldly said in a daze.

"Bold, I only learned one thing since dating Feng Yuan, and that is never to reason with women. Hahaha." Fan Jiannan laughed loudly.

Long boldly shook his head and smiled wryly.

The three of them talked and laughed and went to a hotel in the town to book a room together, and threw some luggage into the hotel by the way.Then I found an authentic Chongqing hot pot and started eating and drinking.

Long Boldly said worriedly, "It's not a solution to find someone? Although this town is not big, it's not too small. Besides, what if this old man Wu moves outside the town?"

Fan Jiannan was sweating from eating, and there was a spicy taste in his words, "Eat with peace of mind, I will naturally find a solution later."

"What can you say?" Long boldly smiled bitterly, "You're going to kill me, that young master Du doesn't have much time. He's like a vegetable now, relying on infusions to survive. It can take a few months. In as little as a few months, various functions of the body will gradually atrophy. At that time, even if a method is found, it will be difficult.”

Fan Jiannan said vaguely, "Do you know where those knights in martial arts novels are looking for information?"

Long Bold was stunned and said, "I don't know."

"Stupid, teahouse. There are social circles for socializing. Mr. Wu is quite old. If you ask young people, even if they live next door, there may not be any results. When we came, we saw the old teahouse in the town. Don't you? It's full of old men.

This group of retired grandpas had nothing to do when they were full. They drank tea and chatted all day long. Maybe some of them knew Mr. Wu.Do you understand what I mean? "Fan Jiannan winked at him.

"What did I say? It turns out that you kid has plans." Long Bold suddenly realized.

Feng Yuan smiled and said, "If he had fur on his face, he would be smarter than a monkey."

Fan Jiannan sighed and said, "Usually, I would definitely refute your words. But now, after this spicy hot pot meal, not only did my face turn red, but my ass probably turned red as well."

"Pfft!" Feng Yuan spit out all the beer in one gulp.

Long boldly smiled bitterly, "It's time to eat, can you not be too disgusting?"

Fan Jiannan hiccupped, rubbed his stomach and said, "When I asked you to eat, you were full of worries. Now you know how to eat it? Anyway, I feel comfortable eating it."

Long boldly chewed a piece of tripe angrily, and said vaguely, "I understand. You are full of evil ideas, so I can't be polite to you."

Fan Jiannan laughed and said, "You're welcome, eat as much as you can, and I'll ask the boss to issue an invoice later. I'll ask Mr. Du for reimbursement. This is the real benefactor. As long as you can save his son, you will eat a big one." Like, he doesn't even blink."

The three of them were full of wine and food, and strolled to the teahouse.

This old teahouse seems to have been around for some years, and it is all wooden teahouses.The wooden furniture inside has been polished shiny, but the tea set is very clean and refreshing.A group of old men were chatting in the hall, and the private room inside was probably full of poker games, and the sound of mahjong was rattling.

Fan Jiannan found a place to sit down, deliberately got together next to a group of old men, chatted without saying anything, took out his cigarettes and scattered around.With just a cup of tea, I got acquainted with these old men.

"You're an outsider, aren't you? A tourist?" An old man said with a smile.

Fan Jiannan nodded, "Yes, I'm here on a special trip."

"Hey, you've come to the right place. This town has been around for a long time. It is said that in the pre-Qin period, the Yuan family, a hunter, came here to hunt for deer. Suddenly, the deer disappeared, and there was only a hole. A clear spring gushed out, and the water tasted very salty when he was thirsty. Known as Salt Spring, when the news came out, people took water to boil salt. Since then, this place has become one of the salt-making places. During the Qianlong period, there were 330 salt stoves and [-] frying pans, known as Wanhao Salt Smoke. There are many places of interest and historic sites.” The old man said with a smile.

Fan Jiannan pretended to be curious, "Are there any other places of interest?"

"You're an outsider, so it's not surprising if you don't know. To the east of the town, there are blue lions and white elephant rocks, and a group of stone squats that look like people but not people. They are called "Eighteen Arhats". That is the stronghold of the White Lotus Sect uprising army.

The Queen's Village on the hillside in the south of the town is the cottage where Li Zicheng's rebel army camped against the Qing Dynasty in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties.There is a mountain in the west of the town, called Erxian Mountain, with a cave on the side of the mountain, which is the famous fairy cave.

Not only is the scenery unique, but there is also a legend about a game of broken chess.Legend has it that a woodcutter went into the mountain and was fascinated by the immortals playing chess.After a game of chess, I don't feel that a hundred years have passed.Not only was the ax he used to chop wood rusty, but even the handle of the ax was rotten. "The old man was in high spirits and talked eloquently.

"Really? You must go and see it if you have the chance." Fan Jiannan said with a smile, "I remember that my grandfather had a friend who was also here, so I can visit it by the way."

"Oh? Who is this person? Maybe I still recognize it." Another old man drank tea and said.

"It is said that the surname is Wu, so it seems to be Wu Huaisha." Fan Jiannan said intentionally.
