A beautiful village name often causes people's reverie. "Flying centipede", what does this mean? How nice it is to have a chance to have a look! However, going to this mountain village at an altitude of more than 600 meters is enough to make you sweat all over, but only when you go to Tian Fei Centipede Natural Village in Qiaoying Township will you be glad that you have come. This is a "land of feng shui". Qianmen Mountain in front of the village, like a huge centipede, falls from the sky and flies to the southeast. It is said that the best feng shui is the "centipede pliers" with protruding parts, which buried the body of a bachelor in the previous dynasty. Standing on the "centipede pliers", I suddenly feel that "there are many mountains and small mountains" and the cool breeze blows gently, which makes me relaxed and happy. On the edge of the village, there is also an interesting place called "Anyan", which is actually a big cave with a width of 100 meters, neither high nor deep. There is a temple named "Anyan White Crane Hall" in the middle, which serves as a road corridor for woodcutters and passers-by to rest. The mountain flowers around the cave are in full bloom, and a stream near the cave runs down from the top of the mountain and leads to the waterfall in rainy days, making a sound. There are many strange stones at the top of the cave, which is confusing. I'm thinking: how nice it would be to move this beautiful scenery to the edge of the city!
Going down to the hillside, I was invited to take a nap in the farmhouse and have a cup of mountain cloud tea, which was even sweeter and refreshing. According to the owner's population, there are 193 hectares of forest here, and there are 54 families, each of which can spread to 3.6 hectares. Mountain forest resources are very rich, such as bamboo, wood, fruit and tea, just like every household has opened a "small green bank". In particular, the 2.67 hectares of alpine cloud tea here is well known. The life of the villagers is much better than before. As far as food is concerned, what kinds of vegetables, tofu, meat, poultry and eggs are there? Of course, there are many bamboo shoots: braised bamboo shoots, fried bamboo shoots with shredded pork and salted bamboo shoots, all of which can be eaten!
