Chapter 1337 Hakka Enclosed House

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The bamboo raft passed Chendiaowang Village and continued for about five miles. Shortly after passing a sharp turn called Ximeiding, it stopped at a flat river beach.

    You can vaguely see the wild grass and trees, and there is a winding path leading into the mountains.

    The guide is Lao Gu, a traveling businessman who has been traveling between Fucheng and Fenghuang Mountain for many years.

    Lao Gu told them that this was the road leading to Hakka Shanjiao Lao.  Not far from Shanjiaoliao is Feitianyan, where the china clay mine is located.

    "So Shanjiaoliao is the home of the Hakkas?" Zhao Hao asked while applying insect-preventing ointment on his body with the help of Secretary Ma.

    "No, their old camp is called Daliao. They have to pass Feitianyan, and there is a piece of flat land in the mountains. That is where the Lin family's ancestral hall is." Lao Gu replied in poor Mandarin: "Later, Daliao couldn't live anymore.  , they built Shanjiao Liao and Bei Liao. The three enclosed houses happened to surround Feitianyan in the middle."

    "Okay, you've watched carefully enough." Zhao Hao couldn't help but smile bitterly, no wonder the Fu Laos couldn't take it down.

    "Let's go and have a look." Lin Run refused the prepared slide pole and walked into the forest.

    Zhao Hao didn¡¯t want to leave after being able to sit down, but Brother Gao reminded him in a low voice that it was best not to be lifted high in a place like this, otherwise he would be shot with an arrow.

    Mr. Zhao immediately followed the good advice and refused the bearer: "Is that true? If Lin Zhongcheng doesn't sit down, of course we will walk."

    As he said that, he walked away and followed.

    In the end, everyone walked into the mountain. Even the elderly Liu Zixing was only supported by two servants and did not sit on the slide pole. Apparently he was also afraid of death.

    In fact, you can walk along the winding mountain road, along the clear stream, and in the quiet mountain forest.  The sun is blocked by thick shade, the shadows of the trees are mottled, the birds are chirping, and the cool breeze is blowing, it is still very pleasant.

    Unconsciously, after walking for less than half an hour, I heard the rumbling sound of water.  Xun Sheng walked out of the forest, and his eyes suddenly opened up. He saw a five or six-meter-high waterfall falling straight down from the mountain to the north. After the broken jade splashed with snow, it turned into a rapid white river across the eyes of everyone.

    There is a suspension bridge on the river. It rises high at this time. There are only two Hakka young men wearing coarse blue cloth cardigans, coarse blue cloth crotch pants, and straw sandals. They are sitting on the winch under the bridge and bragging about Boyi.

    The little white-faced man with his back to the river was bragging about his heroic rescue of Xiaomei, the daughter of Dr. Sun of Jingmei Village, from the tusks of a wild boar the day before yesterday.

    I heard that he carried Xiaomei, who had an injured ankle, back to Jingmei Village and was kept by Dr. Sun for dinner. The little dark-faced man facing him looked envious and wished he could take his place.

    The little black man was drooling when he suddenly stood up in shock, pointed to the opposite side and stammered speechlessly.

    "What, what the hell?" Xiao Bai, who was bragging, followed his gaze and was shocked.

    I saw at least a few hundred people on the other side, the vast majority of whom were fully armed officers and soldiers!

    "What the hell! Call the police!" Xiaobai screamed.

    "Oh." Xiao Hei quickly ran to the back of the tree and tried his best to knock up a piece of copper pipe tied to the branch of the tree.

    The clanging sound of knocking immediately resounded throughout the valley.

    I saw that they were quite vigilant.  In order to avoid misunderstanding, Lin Run quickly asked Lao Gu to come forward and inform him that the governor of Guangdong was coming, and asked their clan leader to come out to greet him as soon as possible.

    The two young people watching the bridge naturally knew Lao Gu, and they were confused after hearing this.  In their eyes, the county magistrate is a great official.

    "Governor, which level is higher than county magistrate?" Xiao Hei asked in a low voice.

    "You don't even know this?" Xiaobai just wanted to show off his profound knowledge, but after thinking about it, he became discouraged and said: "Okay, I don't know either"

    "The governor is the biggest official in Guangdong!" Lao Gu obviously understood what the two of them were thinking. He put his hands to his mouth and tried his best to suppress the sound of the water.  "Hurry and report to the head of your family. If you are late in welcoming us, you will not be punished!"

    "Oh" Xiaobai thought about it and felt that this was an opportunity to show his face, so he asked Xiaohei to stay here, turned around and ran into the mountain col.

    ??~~

    In the mountain col, an oval yellow building made of rammed earth and sand is located on a sunny hillside.

    This enclosed house is more than three feet high, with walls nearly one meter thick, and no windows below two feet.  A small window about a few feet square was opened at more than two feet, and it was surrounded by granite stone strips, which were used to shoot out the holes.

    There is also a watchtower at the southeast end of the highest point of the enclosure.  There are earthen cannons installed on top, which can also be used as a watchtower to control the surroundings of the house from a high position.

    Hearing the sirens at the suspension bridge, the owner of Shan Kok Lao here,Make your own decisions.  Lin Yifu sighed helplessly and said to Lin Yuanfang: "Go to Daliao to report the news."  "

    "Okay." Lin Yuanfang responded and hurried away.

    Lin Yifu asked the tribesmen to guard the enclosure, and then sent ten young men with strong martial arts skills to follow Lin Yichen from a distance, just in case.

    ??~~

    Here, Zhao Hao and others had just waited for a cup of tea when they saw a young man coming from the other side. He introduced himself as Lin Yichen, the third son of the head of the Lin family.

    Lin Yichen first expressed a warm welcome to the governor, and then said loudly: "I have already ordered someone to report to my father, but I have to go back and forth to Daliao for an hour. I am afraid I will neglect the governor. In order to save time, please come directly  How about coming with me to Daliao?"

    Lin Run saw that the other party still did not put down the suspension bridge after saying this, so he knew that they still had conditions.

    Sure enough, I heard Lin Yichen say that for the sake of safety, the rules of their Hakka people were that no more than a hundred people could enter the village at the same time, and distinguished guests were asked to abide by it.

    "Bullshit, why haven't I heard of this rule?" Yue Yunpeng muttered in a low voice, but it was covered up by the sound of the waterfall.

    Lin Run readily agreed.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
