When I was a child, every summer, the small river that ran through the village, there were always a few artificially dug pools, which was the coolest memory of my childhood.
Of course, people digging pools don't think so. Every year, when the weather gets warmer, they carry large hoes that are more than a dozen or twenty times larger than ordinary hoes, usually using seven or eight meters long bamboo poles with calves as handles. You can think of it as a hoe for the father. That scene is also a bit like the shrimp soldier crab will carry the weapon for the Great Sage. All in all big.
When they got to the river, they or one or two of them pressed down on the sand pile in the river with a big hoe, and then pushed forward, taking one or two people with a large pole to turn the sand pile up, and the next person immediately took the gold panning bucket, loaded the sand into the bucket, and sifted the sand J on the river. If you dig a few big hoes and don't harvest them, the one who takes the lead will choose another auspicious place and start over. Once there is a harvest, immediately insert a rod hanging cloth in the nearby area, delineate the scope, which is not very large, and the meaning is similar to that of a wild boar peeing on the land plate. After all, they must all be from the same village, and everyone has this morality.
I had seen their harvest, collected in a glass bottle that was commonly seen at the time, two fingers long and wide, as yellow as the size of a soybean. Now, we call it Sand J.
Harvested sand J, need to be purified, and exercised into a larger piece, the value is high.
Maybe these shoppers in the small river will not get much in a year, but they can also let them drink a little wine in their spare time and take their families to live a well-off life for a few days. After all, it was only the 1980s, enough to envy others.
But their harvest, just like me and my friends went to the mountains to pick bayberry, the largest tool for loading bayberry is nothing more than vegetable blue. The big brother-level figures are directly carrying the burden to pick.
Go up the river, about two kilometers, to the source, is the foot of a big mountain. The mountain is called Zhanggongling, and the sand gold downstream is washed down by rain from this mountain.
This mountain is where the feast of big brothers is.
I have always wondered why the mountain of Zhanggongling is called Zhanggongling, maybe it is related to mythology, maybe it is related to ancient f. I once saw a poem written by the Yuan Dynasty poet Zhou Xun: MeiDong
Deep in the clouds of the rock valley, winter flowers are blooming. Incense falls with the snow, and the news returns to early spring.
The white deer flower went, and the yuan ape hugged the child. The immortals beckoned me to hide, leaning on the tree to wander alone.
Meidong is my hometown.
Shi Zai Zhou Xun once accompanied the army to participate in the Yuan Dynasty government's Z pressure on The Yaomin in Hezhou, and the back of Zhang Gongling was Hezhou in Guangxi, and passing through Meidong was a high probability. Whether the name of Zhang Gongling is related to this, I don't know.
Far from it.
Zhang Gongling faces east and west, from south to north, majestic can not be said, steep is not counted. But it's also the back hill of our whole village.
In the mid-1980s, a national geological survey team suddenly moved in. Soon, it was rumored that Zhang Gongling had discovered the J mine!
The small stone pillars the size of a round arm and one or two feet long intercepted by the geological survey team during drilling have always been the best tool for rolling dough in every household in the village.
Subsequently, the geological survey team withdrew. The rumor is that the J-ore reserves are not high and have no value for large-scale mining.
The whole process, just like you are sleeping soundly, suddenly your parents ran into your room, saying that you have hundreds of private money hidden under the bed, you looked at them with a confused face and turned your whole bed over and over again, although you did not find a lot of money, a few pieces of a few cents are still there. At this time, in the era when a few cents can make you laugh all over the village, can you still sleep?
The whole small mountain village was detonated.
Those who can drink and dare to drink the first soup are the big brothers.
Big brothers can't be practiced in a day or two.
The process will not be discussed, everyone understands.
The procedure is to walk the whole Zhang Gongling all over, find the dragon vein (in fact, it is a palm-sized vein containing J-colored minerals), and chase it down. All of them extend into the mountain. At this time, it is necessary to dig tunnels into the mountains with manpower and material resources. This kind of tunnel is generally humanoid high and about one meter wide. The owner of the mine at the atmospheric point will lay a track to transport the ore. Most of them are trolleys that transport the ore out and then dispose of it.
This kind of tunnel is called the Dragon Cave by the people in our village. Because when they extend into the mountain, they are not only long, but also because they are chasing the dragon vein to dig, they will sometimes go up, sometimes down, and sometimes fork left and right.
The Dragon Cave is a bit like this
When I was in junior high school, I went into an abandoned dragon cave with a battery flashlight with my accomplices. Walking along the dragon cave, the more inward, the colder it gets, and the summer can't help but shiver. From time to time, a cold wind blows from the inside out, and the heartbeat becomes more and more intense, and there is a feeling of near death. Later, I encountered three forks in it, and I didn't dare to go inside again. Running outside the cold water, there is a feeling of the rest of the life after exiting the cave.
According to the current safety production rules, the dragon cave at that time was to take r life to fight for money: the top of the wall of the dragon cave, there is no measure to prevent the fall of stones; there is no electricity, the lighting is a kind of gasoline lamp called a horse lamp, because the flashlight with the battery can not withstand the construction time in the cave; there is no ventilation and communication equipment; when the cave is excavated, the workers responsible for the b-breaking do not have any qualifications!
The father of one of my elementary school classmates, in charge of b-breaks. In a b break, wait for two hours, do not see b fried, go in to check, the result is that the drug rang.
My elementary school classmates, after working in junior high school, entered the dragon cave for construction, and when bending over, a stone on the top of the wall fell down, right in the middle of the waist, and since then the lower body has been paralyzed. He died after spending a few years in a wheelchair.
Refining j requires the use of a drama substance called green #sodium, which is directly dumped into the source of the small river after use, and the small fish in the river that is four or five kilometers long downstream of the entire small river can be turned over! The villagers did not think so, and went down to the river to catch fish, soaked in salt water and boiled to eat.
Fortunately, this whole process did not last long. After the standardization, the above things are extinct. Now, in the younger generation, it is only a legend.
