Jingxiang Travel Notes Chapter 34丨The Black Man in Wuyuan

After coming out of Sanqing Mountain, I went straight to Wuyuan County, the most beautiful village in China.

As soon as I came out of the train station, a middle-aged man with a slightly fat body and dark skin came up to me: "Want a car?"

I saw it, he was driving a motorcycle. So I repeated my old trick: "I am a foreigner and it is my first time here. You take me to the county town to find a hotel. How much does it cost?"

This time is different from last time. In Shangrao, Teacher Jian had already told me the price to reach the destination, but I had no idea how far it was from the county seat. Generally speaking, the train station should be outside the city, but it does not rule out that it is in the city, such as Dunhua Station, Guangzhou Station, etc. If he wants to rip off passengers, it is difficult for me to judge.

"five yuan."

His answer made me wonder if there was something wrong with my ears: Not to mention that the train station was outside the city, even if it was in the city and the hotel was right next to the station, the five yuan would not be a loss.

"Okay." When I readily agreed to rent his car, I gained another sense of trust in Jiangxi people.

I never expected that the station was not close to the county seat. We crossed two bridges to reach the county seat. The five yuan was really worth it, and it was not the result of bargaining. Of course, this is not just a matter of five dollars, but a reflection of the folk customs of a place.

On the way, the driver took the initiative and said to me: "Boss, I will take you to the hotel owned by my cousin first, which is equivalent to a three-star hotel. If you are not satisfied, I will take you to the next hotel without charging any extra fare."

Well, this driver is so honest and cute. He can just take me directly to the hotel where he has a kickback. Why should I know that he is soliciting customers for his relatives?

To be honest, if I hadn’t had a good impression of the Shangrao driver and the two times he only charged five yuan, I would have just asked him not to take me to his cousin’s place.

When I arrived at his cousin's hotel, I didn't book a room right away. Instead, I looked at the room first and felt that the room facilities matched their charges, so I stayed.

At this time, he said again: "Something happened on the northern route recently. It is closed. You can only travel on the eastern route. One-day tours in the county have also been suspended. If you want to go for a walk on the eastern route tomorrow, you can rent my car. ”

Although I feel good about him, I am still afraid that he has done so much work to gain trust in the past, just to kill him in the end. So I said, "Leave your phone number and I'll call you when I need you."

After he left, I immediately went to the hotel in the county to inquire about the day trip, and the answer I got was exactly what the driver said - at this time I dialed his number without hesitation.

I started setting off at eight o'clock in the morning, riding on his motorcycle. Every time I reached a scenic spot, he would stop and take me to visit, always maintaining a speed of 40 kilometers per hour. Sometimes there was not a single car on the road for hundreds of meters in front or behind. I suggested that he drive to 60 kilometers per hour, which is within the safe range. However, he said to me: "For the safety of my customers, I must keep it at around 40 kilometers per hour." Even if I, the customer, made the request, When that didn't work, he drove at a slow speed of forty kilometers an hour.

After each scenic spot, he would introduce me to the next scenic spot. On the way, I asked to enter a non-attraction village for a walk. He would not smile and said: "According to the contract, I have no obligation to provide you with non-attraction services." , If you want to go in, there will be an additional fee." But he accompanied me in immediately.

"This is Moon Bay." He stopped and pointed to the roadside.

I looked over and saw that it was just a moon-shaped puddle of water.

Of course, Wuyuan's countryside is generally beautiful. The structures of the houses in the village are completely built in accordance with local customs. The white exterior walls and raised corners are as structured as a medal podium. If you are careful enough, you will find that the number of floors in the corner is not randomly built. There are as many floors in the corner as there are floors in the building. The houses in the entire Wuyuan County are built according to this specification, including the county seat.

The beauty of Wuyuan's countryside is more reflected in their Jiangnan water town charm.

A large leafy tree at the foot of the mountain is like a big green umbrella. Its umbrella handle is leaning on the road at the entrance of the village. On a 38-degree hot summer day, it provides a layer of coolness for people going in and out of the village. . At nearly noon, the village was quiet, and occasionally one or two villagers carrying burdens could be seen walking around the village.

Standing at the entrance of the village, you need to concentrate to hear the slight rustling of the leaves in the breeze, but you can easily hear the gurgling sound of the stream beside the village. The shade of green trees and the coolness of the stream form a natural summer resort, making you feel refreshed, comfortable and peaceful.

Like most villages, this village also grows food and cash crops. The earth carries all things with its kindness, including water, the source of life.

Unlike many villages, the village was built along a stream. The clear spring undoubtedly flowed from the mountain, so clear that you could even count the number of grains of sand underneath.

In this hot summer day, everyone wants to take a dip in the pure mountain spring water flowing in front of the door. However, only children in the village can enjoy this treatment as a matter of course.

Other villages are also similar, each with its own characteristics. What opened my eyes was the sanitation in the village. Whether it was Yashao Block 18 in Yangjiang or the countryside here, their village roads were cleaner than the streets in the city.

The most popular places in the village are not littered with rubbish. Facing the camera, they became shy and quickly turned their faces away.

In addition to the scenery of the village, the scenery along the road is also charming. Not only are the mountains and clear waters on the river bank beautiful, but the cobblestones along the river are also a major landscape.

Even a tree by the road is an attraction:

Since the driver insisted on maintaining a speed of 40 kilometers per hour, he walked slowly for 130 kilometers from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. What's more valuable is that when I said I wanted to return, he told me honestly: "There are still a few scenic spots, don't you want to go?"
The honesty and trustworthiness of Jiangxi people formed the simple folk customs of Jiangxi. They seemed not to We know that we can charge exorbitant prices to foreign tourists, but treat every tourist who will not come again next time with integrity. Maybe, they know that even if I don't come again, they will introduce others. To be honest, if I come again next time, I will definitely look for him again.
