Chapter 339 Quarry and Village
Although the entire river bank does not look like there are many artificial traces, but in fact this place is not as wild as it looks.Liang En and Jeanne just walked a few hundred meters before they saw a country road.
This road should be the road leading to the village that the captain said before, because the area of this place is only so big, so it is unlikely that there will be two villages.
"What should we do next." Looking at the road, Joan looked at Liang En and asked. "Should we go to the village first and ask, or go directly to our destination?"
"Go directly to the destination. There are still several hours before it gets dark. During this time, we can just take a look at the situation at the destination." Liang En said after thinking for a while.
So they quickly crossed the road and walked towards the depths of the mountain forest. Fortunately, although it was a mountain road, the road was not so rough, so they reached their destination around 5 pm.
This destination is a valley, and there is a clear stream in the center of the valley, which looks like a very nice place.
"Why, including this time, the cultural relics and monuments you found in the mountains basically appeared in valleys with water sources?" Because she had learned about Liang En's previous itinerary, Joan discovered something interesting .
"Because there are not many places in the mountains that can be used for human activities, and valleys with clean water sources are the most suitable places for human living and activities in this type of area." Liang En explained.
"For example, if it is built on a mountain, the price to pay for transportation is much higher than that in the valley area, so except for some high-value minerals such as gemstones or gold and silver mines, there are very few mines built directly on the mountain .”
"So that's how it is." Joan of Arc nodded, and then followed Liang En to the side of a hillside, where the place marked by the card in Liang En's mind was here. "We may need to clean up some of these surfaces."
Looking at the stone wall covered with various plants, Liang En said after observing for a while.There are not many tall trees in this place. Most of the ground grows moss, lichen or some herbaceous plants, and only a few scattered trees are mixed in.
Compared with the surrounding hills with many tall trees, this side of the mountain wall is obviously abnormal, it looks like it has alopecia areata, and this also means that there should be some kind of difference between the bottom of this mountain wall and the surrounding area.
"There are traces of artificial excavation here." Joan of Arc used a shovel to clean up the plants and soil on the surface of a small area she selected, and found that the soil in this area was very thin, and there were some obvious traces of human carving. stone.
"After reading the previous conjecture, you are right. This place is indeed where the raw material for the cross was." After choosing seven or eight places and exploring an area the size of a football, Liang En confirmed his conjecture.
This valley is indeed a quarry in ancient times. Although the scale of the quarry is small from the current point of view, it was not small in scale more than 1000 years ago.
Especially the stone here looks delicate and uniform, and the color is also good.It should be mainly used for sculpture like the previous cross. Judging from this use, the output of the valley is enough to support the construction of a city.
After completing these preliminary explorations, the sky began to gradually darken, so Liang En and the others spent more than ten minutes along the road to the mountain village.
After entering the mountain village, they found that the village was not as closed as they had imagined. At least from the complete public facilities and the buses on the parking lot, it can be seen that the main business of the village has now been converted into tourism. dominated village.
After using the Internet to search, they discovered that this village is actually a small well-known tourist village that sells outdoor tourism in the mountains and forests.
It is no wonder that the previous captain introduced this village to them. After all, it is very reasonable for tourism practitioners to know about tourism-oriented villages.
Because of the village and travel-related reasons, Liang En and the others found a place to live easily, and they got a lot of interesting information in the chat with the owner afterwards.
"—yes, our village is hundreds of years old, and it existed before we moved from the South."
After giving a little tip, the middle-aged proprietress opened up the chatterbox. For them, these stories are also part of the heritage of the village, so they are happy to share this information with tourists.
According to the proprietress, the entire village was actually built on an older relic, and thanks to those relics, their ancestors were able to complete the construction of the village in a short period of time.
It's just that after so many years of time have passed, there are basically not many traces of the ancient village left. If there are any, only the church in the village still retains some traces.
After insinuating, they also determined that the locals did not know the existence of the quarry ruins not far away.
Liang En carefully wrote down the information, and decided to go to the church the next day to have a look, and then began to enjoy a rather Swedish-style dinner.
In addition to grilled venison and meatballs, Liang En and the others also tasted the famous or notorious canned herring.
At the beginning, Liang En ordered this dish with the intention of tasting bean juice or stinky tofu, but later he found that this dish was not as frightening as he imagined.
The reason for the difference between the impression and the fact is that Liang En saw the eating methods in the videos on the Internet before, in fact, many of them were intentionally made by the up owner to attract everyone's attention.
That is to say, the fish in this can is not used directly, but after being fished out of the can, find a clean running water, preferably spring water to wash off the juice on the fish, and then serve with chopped raw onions Serve on bread.
Although eating it in the correct way will still have some taste, but the taste is acceptable to normal people, and it even tastes a bit like Chinese stinky mandarin fish because of the pickling.
Because they spent too much time and energy on the road today, Liang En and the others went to rest after eating, and early the next morning, they went to visit the church in the village.
This is a church made purely of stone. It is obvious from the walls that the church was not built at one time, and the current church is obviously being built.
After entering the church, Liang En found that the inside of the church had been renovated, but some parts still maintained the most original image, such as some obvious Viking-style patterns.
Obviously, hundreds of years after Christianity was introduced to Northern Europe, people here have forgotten the beliefs and legends of their ancestors, so they left these patterns that obviously do not match the church here.
And there are some carvings just under the altar of the church. After taking pictures with a camera and processing them with a laptop computer, a line of text quickly appeared.
However, these runic letters appear to be a bunch of pure gibberish, giving people the feeling that someone has randomly carved words there.
