The dry rice basin belongs to a section of the main chain of Changbai Mountain and is located in the dense and mysterious primeval forest.

As they walked along the forest, Jiang Zhi and others clearly felt that the sunlight above their heads was getting darker and darker. The forest leaves were so dense that it was difficult for the sunlight to penetrate inside.

There are many layers of forest, and some tree trunks cannot be hugged by two adults. Miao Yi said that every plant and tree here has the ability to live long enough to become a spirit. The primitive forests and primitive geology are all older than human beings.

long.

Miao Yi led the way, "Grandpa often said that entering a place like this is no longer the domain of humans. People think they are at the top of the food chain, but in fact they are vulnerable to nature. So even if you are a hunter, you want to

If you beg for food in the area governed by the mountain god, you must abide by the rules."

Although Sheng Tang said he was not superstitious about mountain gods, he agreed with what she said about human fragility. He walked a few steps to follow her and asked her, "I heard that there are ninety-nine and eighty-one rice bowls in total."

, is it true or false?”

"It is said that there are nine or eighty-one basins, big basins within small basins, so it is beyond imagination to cross the dry rice basin. Many people go around and back to the starting point."

It is a primeval forest, and there are few people there, so you have to go first on the road ahead. There are many snakes, insects, rats, and ants in this season. It is the unknown creatures that are the most terrifying, so you must be cautious on the road.

The further you go, the darker the light becomes and the denser the forest becomes, so Xiao Ye and Jiang Zhi are leading the way on the left and right.

Miao Yi then told Sheng Tang, "I heard that countless hunters and explorers have died here. The rice bowl is too big, covering an area of ​​almost three hundred square kilometers. So we Miao people go hunting, but only

Take the bright road.”

What is Mingyan Road?

This is a rule passed down from generation to generation by the Miao family as hunters.

After finding a high ground, Miao Yi explained this statement when the four of them took a short rest. Each profession has its own path. Orions rely on the mountains to eat the mountains. If they want to be stable for generations, they must follow the path given by the mountain gods.

There are faint trails and trees extending naturally in the mountains and fields, which are called bright-eyed roads. On the contrary, roads that require drastic felling of trees to destroy the ecology are called dark-eyed roads.

As a hunter, you rely on God to provide you with food, so you walk on the path given by God. You cannot walk on the dark road, otherwise you will be punished.

"Actually, the ancestors of the Wang family's mother-in-law were also hunters, and she often traveled with our Miao family, so she has a family relationship." Miao Yi is a very down-to-earth girl, and she doesn't hide some things.

"But I heard that the ancestors of the Wang family were greedy and took a dark road while hunting. Although the harvest was several times greater than usual, they later became seriously ill and became bedridden. In the end, they died without any treatment. Later, the Wang family

I stopped going hunting in the mountains and switched to something else."

These words were more like after dinner. After all, the four of them had not stopped since they left the hotel door, and they could finally take a breather. Although Miao Yi was there, Jiang Zhi still carefully surveyed the surrounding terrain, and Xiao also

Then he took out some food from his backpack and distributed it to everyone.

"From high to low, we seem to be going downhill all the time." Jiang Zhi sat down to rest, took the water from Sheng Tang, and said something.

He unscrewed the bottle cap and handed it to Sheng Tang.

After Shengtang took a few sips, he took it and drank half of the bottle.

This sparse and ordinary scene, the kind that Sheng Tang would normally ignore, made Miao Yi envious and he said with a smile, "Brother Jiang really knows how to take care of girls."

Only then did Sheng Tang react. When he saw him raising his head and taking another sip of water, his sexy Adam's apple slid and his heart hit hard.

Jiang Zhi finished drinking, screwed the lid on, and said casually, "You should take care of your girlfriend."

Miao Yi had been watching the two people behaving intimately before, but she didn't have the nerve to gossip. Besides, Jiang Zhi was handsome, so she could take the opportunity to take a few more glances. She didn't want him to admit it so straightforwardly, which would make her realize at the same time.

, also lamented that indeed there are not many men with good conditions left.

He turned around and handed the water in his hand to Xiao Ye, "Brother Xiao, can you open it for me?"

Xiao was also tinkering with the compass and didn't think much about it. He took it and helped unscrew the bottle cap. Miao Yi thanked him and raised his head to drink water. When Sheng Tang saw this, it was impossible to say that he didn't think much about it at all.

I also think of Cheng Qin, who is also a girl from Northeast China and has the same bold temperament. Why haven’t I heard Cheng Qin call me Brother Xiao?

Xiao Ye, Xiao Ye barks all day long.

Miao Yi moistened her throat and answered Jiang Zhi's words, "The terrain here is like this. It's high on both sides and low in the middle, like a basin, so it's called a dry rice basin. The reason why the word 'gan' is added in front is because there are few

water."

This is also the reason why you should bring enough water before entering the mountain. Of course, you will not be without water at all. You will pass by streams, so always have an empty bottle ready.

Xiao Ye fiddled with the instrument in his hand, which displayed a topographic map, and showed it to Jiang Zhi, "Indeed, there is no main peak here, and a large area is a basin-shaped canyon surrounded by ringed mountains."

He enlarged the data and pointed, "The longest length from north to south is twenty kilometers, and the widest width from east to west is about fifteen kilometers. The entire area is similar to what Miao Yi said."

Sheng Tang looked at the figure above, which really looked like a basin, with circles and circles, and said, "It's really a big basin within a small basin."

Jiang Zhi stared at the topographic map for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and asked Miao Yi, "You just said that the ancestor of the Wang family fell seriously ill after taking the dark road. Do you know what the disease was?"

Miao Yi scratched her head and thought for a while and said, "I don't know the specific situation. It's been too long. I heard from the elders that it seemed like I was possessed by something, and I even found a dancing master. People at that time were superstitious, and my grandfather said

The ancestors of the Wang family took a path they shouldn’t have taken.”

Jiang Zhi fell silent again.

Miao Yi didn't know Jiang Zhi well, so she was very curious when he asked him about such a long time ago so suddenly. Just when she was about to ask, Sheng Tang signaled her to be silent, and Miao Yi swallowed her words.

It took a long time before Jiang Zhi responded and asked Miao Yi again, "Your ancestors of the Miao family later opened a mine. Isn't it considered a secret way?"

Miao Yi was startled, and then became unnatural.

Sheng Tang was smart and immediately understood the reason for Jiang Zhi's question. She looked at Miao Yi and said softly, "It's been a long time, so it's okay to talk about it."

Miao Yi chewed her lips and nodded after a long time, "Yes, I took a dark path, so when my grandfather's generation came to an end, he would no longer be a hunter."

There are many materials in the primitive land, and it is common to find mineral deposits, especially in that era. But once the mineral deposits are faced with exploitation, it means opening mountains and opening roads, which is what the Miao family did at that time.

Blinded by profits, they forgot the rules of the industry. Later, people died, the mines were abandoned, and the Miao family's way of making a living was cut off. From this point of view, it seems more like a punishment from the mountain god to those who break the rules.
