This longan forest is quite huge, and is distributed around the village. The trees are very old. Judging from the size of the trees, it is not smaller than the famous Zhangba longan forest you can see on the balcony of Xiaoliujie’s house in Manzhou.

Zhangba Longan Forest is because the intersection of Tuojiang River and the Yangtze River blocks the years of silt and stone accumulation, and forms a flat dam along the river, where more than 10,000 longan trees grow for more than a hundred years.

Although the number of longan trees in Zhongba is relatively small, only more than 200, judging from the height of the tree, the width of the canopy, and the thickness of the trunk, it is not younger than the oldest longan trees in Zhangba.

A small village unfolds in an orderly manner between this uncharted Guilin.

The farmers in the village basically have yellow mud walls and green tiles. A thick layer of chalk is painted on the mud walls.

Basically, it is the standard pattern of southwest houses with one straight, two sides in the middle and one open dam.

The land utilization efficiency around the farm house is extremely high. The back of the house is mostly thorny trees and shrubs, usually citrus, and the famous crop in Bashu - pepper.

Both plants have spikes, which can play some protective role, while below are chicken pens, duck houses, and goose sheds.

Jiangxinzhou is the most popular place for birds of prey in the sky. These are valuable experiences summarized by the residents of the island for thousands of years of fighting against nature.

Along the way, two aromatic scents gradually drifted in the air.

One is flue-cured tobacco and the other is roasted wine.

Although it is the slack season, there will be no time for real farmers to relax throughout the year.

After smelling these two scents, Zhou Zhi suddenly realized: "Yes, the white wine in this county is also very famous. There is also moist soil as long as the climate is suitable, the best crop is probably not vegetables, but..."

"Tobacco." Among the cash crops, tobacco is unique. As long as the quality is excellent and knows how to bake, even if you don't have takeout, farmers will have to save a lot of money by themselves.

The expected dog barking has not yet happened. The environment here is extremely quiet, and there is only one characteristic - quiet.

The little friends seemed unwilling to break such tranquility. Apart from the birds singing in the forest, the only thing left was the tuk-sounding sound of bamboo sticks clicking on the stone slabs.

Finally, after passing through several farmhouses and farmland, the friends finally arrived at a relatively "busy" area and finally met people.

Zhou Zhi finally heard the barking of dogs.

This is a relatively concentrated building. The center of the complex is an antique and magnificent manor.

There are many rooms in the manor, which can accommodate dozens of families, but it is a rare courtyard layout in southern Sichuan.

On the stone lintel under the eaves at the entrance of the manor, five straight words "Fu" are carved, and traces of gold lacquer can be seen in a few strokes.

Outside the manor is a small square. There are millstones, mills, and other slightly larger farm tools, as well as an old longan tree. There is a well under the tree with stone fences.

Surrounded by blue bricks and green tiles.

The arrival of strangers quickly alarmed the residents in the surrounding houses, and many people came out of their own rooms to watch.

There was a long wooden sign with white and black letters on the side door of the manor hanging on the white door of the "Zhongba Village Committee". Someone heard the movement inside and walked out. It was a man wearing a military uniform without a slap and a hat-free military cap: "Oh, where did you come from? What are you here for?"

"Hello uncle." When this happens, Zhou Zhi should appear: "We are students from Jiachuan Middle School. I heard that there is a Zhongba below Rongshan, which is a beautiful scenery, so I came here to travel."

"Travel...Travel?" The man seems not very familiar with this word.

"Just just play, just start playing!" Zhou Zhi had to explain in another way.

"Shake!" said the man: "What's the best thing to play on Zhongba Island?"

"Yes, let's not talk about anything else, just the big yard behind you, uncle, is very interesting!"

"Hehehe..." The man was actually very proud of the courtyard behind him. Zhou Zhi's words were simply tickling the itch: "Wufu Manor, there are few things that we can do in Zhongba Village!"

"Uncle, don't bully us. We Jiachuan people have eaten sugarcane since childhood; there are also sesame sugar brown sugar white sugar; there are sesame stalks made from sesame sugar and rice candy made from sugar;

"There are also the pepper forests and longan trees on the island. These longan trees are at least hundreds of years old, and they are all wealth pillars left by our ancestors!"

"Hahaha..." The man made Zhou Zhi very happy: "You are a kid, you are a thief, you are vicious! All the things you catch your eyes are good!"

"Uncle, your surname is yours? You should be the branch secretary of Zhongba Village, right?"

"Come in first, sit down, all the classmates come in." The man greeted enthusiastically, and said, then shouted to the room where the kitchen should be: "There are guests at home!"

"I know!" A female voice agreed inside, then wiped her hands and walked out of the wing room: "Oh, it's very rare!"

It's not very rare, I'm sure I haven't seen anyone before. Zhou Zhi smiled secretly while sighing at the simplicity of the current folk customs.

After entering the main hall, everyone sat down to chat. Zhou Zhi realized that the person in front of him was the village party secretary of Zhongba Village, and the station director of Zhongba Village Supply and Marketing Station in Shima Town, Jiangjin County, was also the platoon leader of the militia, the station director of Zhongba Village Purchase and Marketing Station of Jiangjin County Agricultural Materials Company, and even the external director of the postal office...

In short, it’s just a thousand lines above, a needle below, and anything about Zhongba is right to find him.

By the way, this surname is Jiang, Jiang Hongxing Jiang Branch Secretary.

"Hey, your surname is Jiang?" Zhou Zhi couldn't help but feel a little surprised: "We also have a surname named Jiang here!"

Jiang Hongxing had already glanced at Jiang Shuyi and waved his big hand: "Don't say it now! I'll guess!"

After saying that, he pointed his hand at Jiang Shuyi: "So a girl! From Jiangqiao, Rongshan Agricultural Machinery Station and Du Yufen's family in the Supply and Marketing Cooperative! Isn't it?"

"By the way!" Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "That's it. She is the daughter of Uncle Jiang and Aunt Du, Jiang Shuyi."

Jiang Shuyi quickly nodded to Jiang Hongxing: "Hello Uncle Jiang, do you know my parents?"

Zhou Zhi couldn't help but sigh that Jiachuan was too small, and he had to discuss relationships when he left the county, so he smiled and said, "If you are surnamed Jiang, you should be a relative, right? Shu Yi, don't be busy shouting, just talk about seniority, it's serious."

Jiang Hongxing slapped his thigh: "It's really not worth talking about relatives, but it's better than ordinary relatives, but he still has to kiss him a little bit."

"The ancestors of our old Jiang family were Zhuxi Tui Sou, who was used by Ding'an Gong in Jiang Yuanjiang during the Ming Dynasty. He was a Minister of Works and a Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion."

"Ding'an Gong is from Jiulongpu, Jiangjin County, Chongqing Prefecture. Our branch was passed down from him."

"Shu Yi's father is a branch of Sihe Township, Neijiang, and he is not as relative as us."

"Then why does Uncle Jiang say that it is not a relative better than a relative?"

"This girl still looks like a father, but her eyes look like a mother!" Jiang Hongxing looked at Jiang Shuyi happily, commented first, and then said: "Hi! If you want to talk about this, it's really a big dragon gate formation!"
