Chapter 374
When passing a section of dilapidated wall, Wen Qingfeng told Mu Yi that the normal school was inside the wall. There was a gap in the wall and it was relatively smooth. It must be that someone often passes by here. Mu Yi asked: "Can you go in from here and take a look?"
?"
"Of course. Let's go in from here and go out through the gate. We can save a lot of walking."
So the two of them walked in through the gap in the wall. The school was a bit dilapidated. Weeds were growing everywhere, and no one came to clean it up. The doors and windows of the classrooms were decayed. Occasionally, some broken glass was still embedded in the wood.
On the window frame. It gives the impression that it will fall down if there is a little bit of wind and rain.
Seeing these dilapidated scenes can't help but make people feel sad. Fortunately, the trees planted in the school have not withered due to the decline of the campus. Instead, they have grown lush and green, giving people a sense of high-spirited and upward growth.
The two of them left the school gate and walked for almost an hour before arriving on the road. They saw flue-cured tobacco seedlings planted in the fields on both sides of the road. They were growing well, and the tobacco leaves were almost as big as two or three palms.
Seeing so much flue-cured tobacco grown in the field, Mu Yi couldn't help but ask: "Isn't it very expensive to grow flue-cured tobacco?"
"The money comes, but it requires labor. Without labor, the money cannot be earned."
After chatting for a while, Wen Qingfeng pointed not far away and exclaimed: "Look, the hot water pool is right there."
Mu Yi's interest was immediately aroused. The two quickened their pace and quickly reached the hot water pond along the road.
The terrain here is actually quite steep. There is a ditch sandwiched between two mountains. The road is on the west mountain side, and the ditch is on the east mountain side. The hot water pond is under the road, and the first hand is the fast-flowing Xigui River. It was just at Changma River Dam.
The river, which is still more than 100 meters wide, shrinks to less than ten meters here. The mountains on both sides are very steep, with cliffs and rugged rocks, which look very dangerous.
Mu Yi followed Wen Qingfeng down the road slope to the river. Hearing the sound of rushing water, it felt like the shore was shaking. He felt a little scared for no reason. However, he turned around and saw that Wen Qingfeng was already rustling.
Xu took off his clothes and pants, only wearing a pair of underwear. He also hurriedly imitated the way of smelling the breeze.
Fortunately, this hot water pond is actually a pool. I don’t know which kind person actually built it with cement on the edge of this narrow river. Half of the pool is covered with a cement board, and some water is placed on the cement board.
The stone looks quite hidden. If Wen Qingfeng hadn't led the way, I guess even if I passed by this road, I wouldn't necessarily have discovered this place.
When Mu saw Wen Qingfeng just sitting by the pool and not in a hurry to go down into the pool, he asked him, "Why don't you go down?"
"The water is very hot. Stand on the edge first, pour some hot water on your body, and then put your feet in to get used to it. It's not too late to soak in it again."
The two of them were almost done with their preparations. With two "plop, plop" sounds, they both jumped into the "hot water pond".
"Wow! It's so hot. It's so hot." Mu Yi stood in a pool of hot water up to his neck and exclaimed when he was so hot.
"It must be hot. This is a natural hot spring. The water outlet is almost sixty or seventy degrees. The temperature here has dropped a bit near the river. It's just that the body can still bear it. Let me tell you, there are many minerals in this hot spring, which can
It’s for beauty. It also contains sulfur. It can treat rheumatism, arthritis, and skin diseases. It’s very comfortable.”
"Yeah. That's right, it's very comfortable."
Gradually he got used to the temperature of the "hot water pond". Mu began to enjoy it. Sometimes he submerged his whole body in the water, and sometimes he put his head out to breathe. But soon he was lying on the edge of the pond like Wen Qingfeng,
Put your heart out of the water. When your body is cold, soak in the water again. When you can't stand it anymore, lie down again. Repeat this process.
"Hi!" Wen Qingfeng saw Mu Yi closing his eyes and quickly got some water and poured it on Mu Yi's head.
"what you do?"
"I saw you closed your eyes and looked like you wanted to sleep, so I woke you up. The temperature of this wild hot spring is very comfortable, and people will feel drowsy after soaking in it. But don't fall asleep. Once you fall asleep
, if no one discovers it in time, it is easy to drown in it."
Hearing "death" scared Mu Yi away from his drowsiness.
"Qingfeng. You said this hot spring is so comfortable. If you could develop it and build a hot spring hotel or something, wouldn't you be able to make a lot of money?"
"You don't even look at the environment here. Where can I build a hotel for you? The terrain is restrictive."
"Can't we use water pipes to bring the hot water to the open area above the Changma River Dam?"
"Of course. It's just that the cost is a bit high. I'm afraid it's not something I can afford to do with a little money. I heard that someone brought it to the 'Lingyun Villa' and built a high-end 'hotel' there."
"Oh. Then this 'Lingyun Villa' must make easy money. Where is it? How about we go there and have some fun."
"On the roadside where we came just now, there is a bridge paved with steel rails, surrounded by walls and a big house in the middle of the river."
"When we go back later, we must go and see wherever we pass by."
"I want it."
This soak lasted for almost half an hour. Both of them couldn't stand the heat, so they climbed out quickly. They felt tired and thirsty, but they didn't bring any water. There was a lot of water in the river, but the river water
It is a bit turbid, but not much clearer than the water in the pond. Except for some sulfur scale, there is no sediment.
"How about we go back." Wen Qingfeng suggested.
"Forget it. It's a rare chance to come here and have another drink before leaving." Mu Yi was a little reluctant and left like this, wanting to drink for a while longer.
The two took another dip. Wen Qingfeng climbed out first. Mu Yi had no strength to get up. Fortunately, Wen Qingfeng gave him a hand and pulled him out of the hot water pool.
"Fortunately, you're here. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to climb out of this hot pool today. I'd probably drown in it."
"Yes. It's comfortable to soak in. But you can't soak in it for a long time. You almost collapsed from soaking today. If you take the soak alone, something will happen if you don't get enough protection."
"Yes, yes. I'm scared just thinking about it. If I really drowned in there, no one would know."
"That's right. You won't find it unless someone comes to soak it. But if you find it late, I'm afraid your skin and flesh will be soaked off, leaving only a pile of bones."
"Forget it, forget it. Stop talking. Let's go back quickly."
The two of them took off their underwear and wrung them out, but did not put them back on. They put on "neutral" gear, only put on their outer trousers, lifted up their underwear and walked back.
I'm just tired and thirsty, and my feet are very soft when I walk. It feels like my bones have been soaked off.
When passing by "Lingyun Villa", the two of them were no longer interested in seeing it. They just wanted to get to the streets of Taiyang Town quickly so that they could buy some mineral water to drink.
Fortunately, a flatbed carriage passed behind the two of them at this time. The two of them hurriedly greeted: "Master, Master, give me a ride!"
Hey! He is a good character. He is really lucky. The fellow driving the carriage actually stopped the horse. The two of them ran over and climbed into the flatbed carriage.
"Where are you two going?" the carriage master asked when he saw the two of them climbing the mountain to climb the carriage.
"Oh. Master, are you going to Sun Town?"
"No. I'm going to Huayang. But I have to pass by Sun. Are you going to Sun?"
"Um."
"That's just right." After saying that, the whip in his hand wavered in the air, but did not fall on the horse's back. The horse seemed to understand its human nature and began to move forward with its hoofs raised.
The carriage soon arrived on the streets of Taiyang Town. The two jumped out of the carriage and prepared to give the master some fare. The master smiled and did not ask for it. He continued to drive his carriage to Huayang.
The two bought mineral water and drank it. They felt a lot more energetic all of a sudden. However, they were still hungry. So they hurried to Wen Qingfeng's house. But their steps were not as brisk as in the morning.
…
That night, the two talked a lot.
