When the morning sun shone over the entire village like a golden curtain, the breeze that quietly crossed the wooden window swept up Ji Nian's hair, making him open his eyes in a slight itch. Although his head was a little dizzy, there was no swelling or pain. Thinking of the homemade wine that Liang Anfu said yesterday, it tasted sweet and mellow, even if he didn't get drunk, it seemed like this now.

Although it is summer, the temperature in the mountains is a bit low in the morning and night, and it feels colder.

When Ji Nian came, he brought a coat and walked out of the room with gloves. He just stood in the yard and stretched his waist. When a wave of dog barking came from his ears, there were also a few high-pitched roosters crowing. He looked up and saw a few wisps of smoke rising from the blue sky. It was probably the villagers who had gotten up to cook breakfast.

"The distant village is full of smoke, and the dogs bark in the deep alleys, and the chickens crow and the mulberry trees are over."

Ji Nian grew up in a county town and basically had no rural life experience. The scenes depicted in poetry were just imagined in my mind and never thought that one day I could experience them myself.

The scene and poems in front of me are really appropriate.

"Master Xiaonian, I woke up so early. I was cooking and I could eat later. You wash your face and rest. I will call you later." After Liang Anfu's wife Huang Xiaocui saw Ji Nian come out, she quickly smiled and waved her hand.

"Auntie, please do it first, I won't stop. When I was in Zhonghai City, I heard Uncle Fu say that our Shitou Village is beautiful and it's hard to come here. I want to take a few photos while I'm going back. If any classmates want to experience the simple mountain life in the future, I can be their guide." Ji Nian said with a smile as she couldn't help.

"Okay, then you can take a walk. The air here is so good. Remember to come back and have a meal later."

"OK."

Shitou Village is a group village at the foot of Dameng Mountain. Because most of the houses in the village are made of local materials and are built with rocks, it is named Shitou Village. Since its establishment, it has a history of more than 300 years.

Because it is adjacent to the mountains, most of the fields here are terraced fields, and the terraced fields with clear gaps extend, as if a series of brocade belts surround the village. At the west end of the village is a lush locust tree forest, and the whole village will be covered with elegant and fragrant flowers during the flowering season.

A winding river divides the village into two. The clear river water makes people feel a little cool in the hot summer. Because it is still morning, there are not many people by the river. If it is noon, it will be lively here. The adults and children in the village will come to swim and play in the river.

Ji Nian walked to the river and several aunts were washing clothes on the bluestone while chatting. The sun shone on their faces, reflecting a bright smile. Although they may not live a wealthy life, their lives are happy and healthy. Being able to live happily every day is the greatest happiness for them.

"Little New Year, if you want to enjoy the scenery in our mountains, it is best to go to the east, south, west, north, and all sides to ensure that you will have a good time."

Thinking of Liang Anfu's words yesterday, Ji Nian really jogged along the Qinghuai River. It was within reach of the sight. The terraces in the east of the village were stacked like jade belts, the flowers and trees in the west of the village were as green as the sea, the gullies in the south of the village were surrounded by dense green plants, and the water in the north of the village was cool and the branches were connected into shade.

This natural environment is quite pleasing to the eye. If the villages line up one after another, the quaint and heavy stone houses will look more artistic and interesting.

"Huh, what's there?"

Just as Ji Nian was walking around and about to walk back, he suddenly saw a house not far away, which was obviously unique and very special. It has nine floors up and down, all covered with dark green moss bluestones. Each bluestone is square, about 30 centimeters high, and there are countless dense patterns on all four sides.

If you look at it from the bottom layer, you will find that these patterns are not randomly carved. The first layer looks like lotus petals, which are flying birds, Aries, boys, mandala flowers, vague seal scripts, worship, flying sky and the lotus that appears again.

A bluestone platform that looks very mysterious.

"Young man, you should be the gentleman who came from the provincial capital to collect medicinal materials, right?"

Suddenly a hoarse voice sounded from behind. Ji Nian quickly turned around and found a simple-dressed old woman standing behind her. Her head was covered with silver hair and her face was covered with wrinkles of varying depths. Although she looked absolutely not young, she did not have any decadent atmosphere and looked full of energy. At this moment, she looked at Ji Nian with a curious light.

"Yes, my name is Ji Nian. Hello, aunt." Ji Nian responded quickly.

"Tsk tsk, I am a college student from the provincial capital, I am just polite." Zhou Lihua nodded and smiled gently.

"Auntie, you are so complimenting, I will be proud. But how do you know what I do?" Ji Nian said curiously.

"Hey, our Shitou Village is so big. Yesterday Lao Liangtou said you were coming here, but not all the villagers knew about it. Child, I really want to thank you. If you hadn't taken care of our village, their medicinal materials would definitely not be able to sell at a good price. My son said that you came here this time just to see the medicinal materials on our mountain, right?" Zhou Lihua pointed to the mountain behind and asked.

"What is your son?" Ji Nian's mind turned around and recalled the herb collectors he knew. A face soon came into his eyes. The more he looked, he became more and more like him. He couldn't help asking, "Auntie, can Liu Guangli, Brother Liu be your son?"

"I have such good eyesight, good, he is my youngest son." Zhou Lihua said happily.

"Haha, I'll just say it, it feels like he looks like you." Ji Nian echoed.

"Xiao Li met a noble man after returning from the provincial capital. He said you took great care of them. I also told him to thank you very much. I didn't expect you to come to our village so soon. Child, don't say anything. Yesterday you were having dinner at Lao Liangtou's house, and today you would come to our house for dinner no matter what. There is really no bear paw and abalone, but the wild game and local vegetables are definitely full." Zhou Lihua invited him enthusiastically, without any falsehood.

"Auntie, let's talk about this later. Can I ask what this is first?" Ji Nian quickly changed the subject and pointed at Qingshi and asked.

"Lotus Tower, everyone in our village knows it. This is called Lotus Tower. I heard from the old people in the village that this thing has a history of at least two or three hundred years. Some time ago, some people from the city came to see it and said they wanted to buy it. But no one in the village disagrees. This is something from our village, how can we sell it casually? Besides, no one has the right to sell it." Zhou Lihua explained.

"What I mean is that this can be regarded as an antique and must not be sold. Besides, this is also a symbol of Shitou Village. If sold, it will make our village lose a lot of cultural value." Ji Nianshen nodded with consent.

"I know that you people in the city have never seen this lotus mount. You can take a look more and take a photo or something. And you can see there? It is also left by our ancestors, called Beilinquan. It is said that it was in the spring before, and the water of the Qinghuai River flowed out of the spring. But since I can remember, I have never seen the spring water flowed out there. Now it is like a dry well, but the stone tablets look quite mysterious, so you can take a few photos." Zhou Lihua raised her hand and pointed to a not far away.

Looking along Zhou Lihua's finger, Ji Nian really discovered a forest of steles. It was just a matter of the angle of the standing, and I couldn't see it clearly.

"Okay, aunt, I'll go over and take a look first." Ji Nian said happily when he saw Lie.

"Go." Zhou Lihua smiled and invited her again, "If you don't leave in the evening, you must come to the aunt's house for dinner. Do you know? The aunt made you delicious food."

"Okay, thank you aunt." Ji Nian walked forward after thanking him.

Will Ji Nian stare at the Lotus Pose for no reason? Of course not, because just as he approached the Lotus Pose, the vitality in the palm of his hands began to rotate again, releasing a desire to swallow. And when he was chatting with Zhou Lihua, he touched the Lotus Pose casually with his hands, and the vitality couldn't wait to swallow the pure breath hidden in the bluestone.

This lotus position is indeed not an ordinary thing, and there is a vital energy inside it.

This trip was really right.

This village with a history of more than three hundred years is really full of surprises. Just a lotus seat can bring you a breakthrough in vitality. If you say that you can go around well, you might even encounter something more interesting. But I didn’t expect that in addition to the essence of plants and trees, such bluestone essences can also replenish vitality.

Could it be that as long as the ancients with a long history have become? Is this age based on a hundred years?

After finding a way to replenish vitality again, Ji Nian seemed very excited. His mind was now full of stele forest springs. This attraction with a very elegant name is believed to not disappoint him. If he could expand his palm energy a little longer, it would be awesome.

Stele Forest Spring.

When Ji Nian approached, he realized why Zhou Lihua looked calm just now, because there was a dry well here, with many stone tablets piled up around her. Unfortunately, not only did not say anything intact, but the more important thing was that it had no value. Even if he could tell with his naked eyes, these stone tablets were created later, and they were all defective. Maybe because there was no place to put them, they were all thrown here.

The name of the Stele Forest Spring is really not worthy of its name.

"Haha, I'm a little greedy. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Forget it, I'm going to go to Brother Liu's house later. Then I'll ask what's going on in this Beilin." Ji Nian took out his mobile phone and took a few photos, and then passed it to WeChat while he was free.

"Little New Year, I've had dinner."

At this moment, Liang Anfu's voice sounded from the road, and Ji Nian quickly walked back. Without a psychological understanding, Ji Nian naturally did not notice that there was a little more wet signs by the dry well.
Chapter completed!
