Chapter 9: Hundred Flower Valley Ice Spring ()

In a daze, Liu Gang opened his eyes with difficulty. As soon as he opened his eyes, Hao Meng's familiar voice came from his ears, "Wake up!"

"It's so heavy, help me rub my head!" Liu Gang looked at Hao Meng sitting by the bed, but was not polite.

"I didn't expect that you are not only good at fighting, but also good at drinking!" Hao Meng did not refuse, and stretched out his little hand and gently rubbed Liu Gang's head.

"It's amazing, I'm so amazing when I've been sucked down!" Liu Gang shook his head. Even after sleeping all night, his head still felt dizzy.

"Haha, it's not amazing. You two made all five of us fall down. That's not amazing... This is the first time Shangshan Village has suffered such a crushing defeat. Come and have some rescue soup!" Village Chief Song walked in with a big bowl of soup. Although he did not fall down on the spot, he just walked out of the door and fell down bravely.

"Captain Song, how can you bother..." Liu Gang sat up with support.

"This time the matter can be solved, but thanks to Team Liu!" Village Chief Song's voice was filled with gratitude. This matter had made him worry for several months.

"Cun Song is polite!"

"Haha, I'll go and see if Xu Dapao woke up." Village Chief Song said goodbye and went out, Hao Meng and Liu Gang started chatting.

"It's time to eat..." After a short while, Village Chief Song's cheerful voice came from outside the door. The three of them arrived at the main hall. Breakfast was very simple, just a bowl of egg noodles, some kimchi, etc.

"Where is the Township Mayor Xu?" Liu Gang couldn't help asking without seeing Xu Dapao.

"Haha, I've been struggling all night and just fell asleep, but I can't wake up even if I shout. I guess he can't leave this morning." Secretary Zhu said with a smile.

"Oh, then we won't wait for him!" Hao Meng didn't care. It would be better if Xu Dapao didn't get an eye.

"Haha, Liu Brigade, Judge Hao, I said, don't rush back. There is a good place in this big ditch, with mountains and water, which can be called a paradise, and there are also a line of sky, cold and frozen wonders. It is definitely more beautiful and natural than those so-called scenic spots." Knowing that Hao Meng likes shooting, Secretary Zhu smiled and put forward a very tempting suggestion.

"Ah, is there really such a place?" Hao Meng was indeed moved.

"The place is really good. We call it Baihua Valley. The scenery is nothing to say, especially the ice spring is full of mystery. Even if you enter it in cotton coats in summer, people will tremble. There is also a fish called ice skatefish inside, which is very delicious. I have walked many places and I have never eaten such delicious fish..." Village Chief Song said with a smile.

"Liu Gang, let's go and have a look. Will you leave in the afternoon?" Hao Meng looked at Liu Gang with some anticipation.

"Okay, you have the final say!" Liu Gang was not very interested in the scenery, but he liked the delicious food and was also very interested in the mysterious ice cave.

"Haha, then I'll let Da Ya accompany you!" Village Chief Song said with a smile. He naturally had no interest in accompanying the two young people to see the scenery. Moreover, the young men and women are together, so why are they going to join in the fun by themselves? Da Ya is her daughter. Although she is less than ten years old, she is a mountain person, and she is still running around the mountain at the age of ten.

"Oh, how far is it?" Hao Meng was shocked when she heard the words of Village Chief Song. Her favorite was scenery.

"It's more than ten miles, and it's more than an hour to walk." Village Chief Song said with a smile.

"There are some things here, you can bring some to fill your stomach." Village Chief Song's woman took out a large bag of things, all of which were cookies and other things.

"Forget these things, my sister-in-law prepares some rice for us and we go to cook bamboo rice." Liu Gang was not interested in the dry food. He hadn't tasted the bamboo rice for many years and missed it quite a lot.

"I like bamboo rice!" Hao Meng immediately responded.

"Okay, I'll get you some pickles." Village Chief Song's woman did not insist. She also knew that these city people were very different from their habits. They were not uncommon for things they thought were good, but they liked some local specialties in the countryside.

The place where Daya took the two of them to was also a valley. It was said to be an hour's journey, but Hao Meng walked about two hours. At the bottom of the valley, it was about five or six hundred meters wide, and in the center was a winding stream. On both sides of the valley, it was not a cliff, but a slope of about forty or fifty degrees. Whether in the valley or on the slope, it was covered with flowers and plants. At this time, it was the season when flowers were in full bloom. Butterflies and bees were flying, and people were in it, as if they were in a painting.

"So beautiful..." Inside the inside, Hao Meng's depression disappeared. He took out his camera and took pictures everywhere. Daya was excited to catch butterflies in the valley. Although Liu Gang also felt the beauty of the scenery, his interest was obviously not very strong. He took off his shoes and socks, held a small net bag, and found the so-called skatefish in the stream barefoot.

In a short while, he caught a fish. Looking at the fish, Liu Gang became interested. It was a fish he had never seen before. The fish had no color and transparent body, no scales, and was not big, only about one inch long, with a flat head and a flat body, which was really like a knife.

"This is probably the so-called skatefish. I don't know how much to catch to eat it." Liu Gang muttered. Such a fish is not enough to eat in one bite, so I don't know how many fish to catch to eat it before they can eat it.

"Hehe, that's your business. Anyway, if you eat grilled fish at noon, Da Ya and I don't have enough food, so I won't have your share! Okay, Da Ya and I are going to play, we'll wait for you on the front line of the day." Hao Meng happened to be on the side and heard the muttering of six people.

"Get me a plastic bag!" Although Liu Gang knew it was an unequal treaty, he could only abide by it. Fortunately, he was pretty good in terms of his eyesight and skills. Those fish could hardly escape his eyes, and the fish he saw could not escape his hands.

As I grabbed the stream along the stream, the valley gradually became narrower, and the hillsides on both sides became steeper, and the original earth slope became almost a stone cliff. The stream was also becoming more and more twists and turns. There were more and more stones in the stream, and the stream became colder. Even Liu Gang was in good health and felt a chill when walking in the stream. However, there were more and more fish, and a ray of sky finally appeared in his sight.

Maybe it is not called a first-line sky. In the narrowest place, the cliffs above were completely touched together, and there was no even a first-line left, and the whole sky was gone.

Under the sky, there is a space of about ten or twenty meters high, hundreds of meters long, and in the middle, the sky is completely invisible.

After a ray of sky, the valley became deeper. There were steep cliffs on both sides of the valley. There were also rocky rocks in the valley. Walking in the valley, I felt a sense of coldness and gloom. However, the skatefish inside became more and more prosperous, not only more, but also much larger.

"There is nothing fun in the Ice Spring. It's just a cold spring. Keep catching fish, let's go out to pick up firewood and grill fish!" After walking around the valley, Hao Meng also felt cold all over, leaving Liu Gang with an empty plastic bag, carrying a bag of ice skate fish, and walking out with Da Ya.

Liu Gang continued to grab inward. There were a lot of fish in the water. He caught the fish much faster. In a short while, he grabbed a full plastic bag and went ashore. He felt that his waist could not be straightened. He hung the fish on a small tree, supported his hands on a protruding rock, and placed his feet on another stone, and did dozens of push-ups hanging in the air.

"The ice spring is probably ahead!" Liu Gang ignored the fish and continued to walk in. Suddenly, a small tributary appeared in front of him, and the tributary flowed out of the rock cracks under the cliff.

He looked carefully at the tributary in the rock crack. The crevices were very wide and one person could barely pass through. There was not a lot of water in the tributary. At most, it could wet the instep. The water flow was also very slow. He tried the water. Sure enough, although the water flowed out of the main stream was also cold, it was obviously much better than the water in the thin stream.

When I approached the rock crack, I felt a biting chill, which was obviously much colder than other parts of the valley. The rock crack looked very deep, slightly tortuous, and from time to time, there was a tiny sniper fish flowing out along the water.

"Can these ice skate fish hatched from this ice spring?" Liu Gang was undoubtedly a person with a strong curiosity. After hesitating for a moment, he took off his clothes and walked carefully into the cracks of the rock with a flashlight.

The rock cracks are not very regular. Some places require a lot of effort to squeeze in. The more you walk in, the more you see the colder you see. After walking for only a few dozen meters, he also felt his body stiff and his teeth trembled. In a slightly wider place, he moved a little, felt his body warmer, and continued to walk in.

After walking about dozens of meters away, the gap in front suddenly became narrower, and even if it was squeezed in, it became impossible. He looked around carefully, but saw that except for the skeleton seedlings in the spring, there was no special thing around, and there was no trace of the big skeleton fish. Helplessly, he could only turn around and walk back.
