In ancient times, there were ten years of Gou Jian lying down and tasting the gall, and three thousand Yue Jia annexed Wu. Today, there are old men in Guiyang who have lived on the cliff for ten years, just to get a demolition fee.
Nowadays, the house price is so expensive, and the three bedrooms and one living room that are free are naturally heartwarming. But if you have your own house, but you still have to live in the mountains, what is the motivation behind it?
In 2017, some people found that on the mountain next to the original highway, there were traces of inhabited people. Many newspaper reporters inquired and went to find out, but found that this actually hid such a big mind.
There are caves in the cliffs on Cloak Hill, where an old man lives a leisurely life
In the Guanshanhu District of Guiyang City, from Xingzhu Road to the east to the junction of No. 7 Road, there is a peculiar mountain.
The mountain is called Cloak Hill, and it is named because it resembles a cloak.
There are two peculiarities about it:
First, it is surrounded by high-rise buildings, and this mountain is like a tall man who has left his life independent;
Second, on the two-thirds of the mountainside, a circle of cliffs appeared.
The stone staircase at the foot of the mountain is covered with moss, and the cliffs on the mountainside are fenced with rattan. There are caves along its cliffs. It can really be said that there is no hole in the sky.
It takes a lot of physical effort to walk up the cliffs from the foot of the mountain. However, the road is lush and will not be very hot under the weather in August.
Halfway up the mountain, you'll find a fence gate made of wood that blocks the way. There was a dirt dog on a leash next to the door, and when he saw strangers, he kept barking, as if he wanted to defend his home, and a series of mobile phone numbers were posted on the door.
Dial your mobile phone number and you will hear an old man's voice. If the visitor was a visitor, an old man of about sixty years of age would open the fence door.
This old man, Peng Xingxiang (Peng Xingqiang), was 59 years old at the time, and was a villager in Mai Village on Yuntan Street in Guanshanhu District. Cloak Hill belongs to Shangmai Village, and in 2007, he wanted to grow vegetables and grain and came to the mountain to open up the wilderness.
As a result, Peng Xingxiang actually found that there was a cave on the mountain not far from his home, and there was a cave on the cliff. And he actually watched it for decades and didn't know.
When reclaiming the wasteland on this mountain, Peng Xingxiang found that the air here was fresh, the trees were shaded, and he could overlook half of the Guanshan Lake area and see Qianling Lake at the foot of the mountain.
Peng Xingxiang had a thought and wanted to live here. Gradually, he not only planted vegetables and millet here, but also planted fruit trees here, and raised some chickens and pigeons.
So there are vegetables, meat, and fruits. If there is water, drink mountain spring water; if there is electricity, it will be connected to the mountain one after another with a row of plugs, which can be called complete with water and electricity, and there is no worry about eating and wearing.
In order to make his living room more comfortable, Peng Xingxiang also transformed the cave into a three-bedroom and one living room. He added bricks to the outside of the cave according to the direction of the cliff.
This cave is warm in winter and cool in summer, and it is very livable. Three bedrooms, one as a bedroom, one as a utility room, one as a pigeon coop, and the so-called "one hall" is a chicken coop.
"Although the sparrow is small, it is complete." This "cave house" perfectly interprets this saying and gives Peng Xingxiang a rare and comfortable time.
Peng Xingxiang did not expect that he would be "addicted" to this place.
This stay actually changed from a small residence to a long stay, and then lived for ten years.
For ten years, he lived here alone without fear, and his wife and daughter advised him to go home and live in a reluctant to obey
During this decade, Peng Xingxiang often lived here. The stay was not short. At night, the whole mountain highlights its killing aura even more, which also makes people curious:
Peng Xingxiang lives here alone at night, is not afraid?
In the face of such a question, Peng Xingxiang was calm.
He said, "What are you afraid of?" Who would dare to rob me? ”
This fearless style of conduct is also manifested in the relationship between Peng Xingxiang and the "old friends" on the mountain. According to Peng Xingxiang, there are snakes on the mountain, all of which are old snakes.
Several times, he encountered several large snakes, and he was not as afraid as ordinary young people, and quickly caught the snakes and beat them to death. After that, he stewed the snake with the chicken he fed, and called it "Dragon and Phoenix Match".
Peng Xingxiang raises chickens, in addition to eating themselves, but also for his own dogs.
The dog was very fierce, barking wildly at the living people, and I didn't know if he had learned a little courage from his master.
In order to feed his loyal dog, Peng Xingxiang specially prepared a "luxurious meal" for him, rice mixed with chicken, as well as cabbage, carrots, meat and vegetarian combination, comprehensive nutrition.
"The chicken you feed yourself, the meat is fragrant." Peng Xingxiang pointed to his achievements in the past ten years, and there were 8 big roosters left in the yard, and 50 pigeons.
Because the pigeon is not limited by the environment, it can fly against the wind, grow "savagely" freely, and its body shape is fatter than that of ordinary pigeons.
On the hillside not far away, the pear trees, peach trees and vines planted by Peng Xingxiang have now grown into large trees and lush.
Although they cannot be seen in the summer, they have also borne sweet fruits in the autumn.
Peng Xingxiang even thought that if someone could fund himself and open an orchard on this mountain, he would definitely be able to plant a mountain full of fruit.
This kind of labor life gave Peng Xingxiang an unusual sense of satisfaction. From time to time, he would sit on the top of the mountain, smoke a cigarette, and look at the scenery below the mountain.
If you think that Peng Xingxiang is an old man who lives alone, it is a big mistake.
Peng Xingxiang has a happy family, a wife and a daughter, and even four suites under the mountain, and it is rumored that there is a deposit of 2 million yuan.
Peng Xingxiang's three daughters often persuaded their father to go up the mountain less, fearing that he would accidentally be injured on the way up the mountain.
In the face of his daughter, Peng Xingxiang naturally did not dare to directly refuse.
But he will still take advantage of the fact that his family is not paying attention to run to the mountain and continue to live his "hidden city life" of good travel.
Not only that, in addition to his "three rooms and one hall" on this mountain, he also intends to build the sixth mansion in his life on this mountain.
Suddenly, a large number of building houses on the edge of the cliff was actually to share the demolition fee
In December 2017, Peng Xingxiang began to move some construction materials up the mountain one after another.
In addition to cement, he has to pick up 20 quintals of sand every day to go up the mountain, even if the mountain road is difficult, Peng Xingxiang also relies on his physical strength to travel to the mountain.
He first piled up the stones on the cliff to form a one-meter-high base foot, and then planned to build four "villas" on the back of his "three rooms and one hall".
The open space on the side of this cliff is not spacious, and two houses will be built for the time being, about ten meters wide. The steel cage has been made of rusty iron.
From digging the foundation, to building the foundation foot, to picking sand and stones, to building, all of them are Peng Xingxiang alone.
If the previous "three rooms and one hall" was just a small fight, then this time, he really planned to "do a big job".
Peng Xingxiang is not a paper soldier, he has 12 years of experience as a contractor foreman on a construction site. I already had a plan for how to make a building flat.
Unexpectedly, I heard that Peng Xingxiang was building a house on the mountain, which was known to the relevant departments in Guiyang.
They immediately stopped Peng Xingxiang and demolished the house he had just built.
Peng Xingxiang did not give up on this, and actually started to build another house. This time, he built it very quickly, and the "mansion" was basically completed.
In order to make himself feel at ease, Peng Xingxiang even raised a big dog.
Two earth dogs barking at the door together can definitely deter those who come.
It can be said that doing it yourself saves a lot of labor costs. Peng Xingxiang's raw materials add up to only 5,000 yuan, you can get a room of more than ten square meters.
But Peng Xingxiang's "ambition" is far more than that.
It turned out that he had heard a rumor very early on that Cloak Hill was planning to build a city park.
Once the park is opened, it means that the land will be expropriated. Then people who live here will receive the corresponding "demolition fee".
And the amount of this demolition fee is not small.
It is reported that more than a thousand yuan to buy a square. In addition to the more than a dozen square meters of houses, Peng Xingxiang occupies an area far more than this, which can be imagined to be a very considerable number.
But is Peng Xingxiang's move too whimsical? After all, this land is not owned by him, but by the public. He built a house here, can he really get the demolition fee?
Just as people waited to see the joke, the matter gradually faded out of the sight of the masses.
After all, it's not surprising that there's so much news a day and a person living alone in the mountains.
Until 2020, a netizen discovered this place while taking aerial photos with a drone.
Peng Xingxiang's house has once again become the focus.
Three years later, this house was found by netizens and put on the Internet, and once again investigated the original people to go to the empty building
When netizens posted this matter on a well-known short video platform, it attracted the attention of many netizens. They marveled at the existence of such a mountain in the downtown area, and marveled at the traces of inhabitation on the mountain.
Many people have many associations about this, some say that it is a temple; some say that it is a foreign tramp who has nowhere to go, so they come to this place...
Some insiders said that there was originally a pond managed by a pharmaceutical factory on the mountain, but it was abandoned and no longer used.
And the people who live here are the ones who guard this pool...
In two or three years, people forgot the owner of this "villa", called Peng Xingxiang.
A reporter from the Guiyang Evening News went to find out, and he went to a person in charge of the office of the Shangmai Village Committee under the Cloak Village, and in addition to informing the reporter about Peng Xingxiang, the person in charge also told the latest situation of the Cloak Mountain.
Originally, cloaked hill was expropriated, here began works, turned into a construction site, the mountain was opened, the mountain was half dug, and houses and roads were built around.
The mountain road that once led to the foot of the mountain was also cut off due to engineering reasons and could not be passed.
A reporter from the Guiyang Evening News once tried to find a way up the mountain, but found that there was no way to go except the cliffs.
And Peng Xingxiang's ending is as he wishes.
In 2019, after the Cape Mountain was expropriated, it came down from the mountain and received a green shoot subsidy.
According to the calculation of the young seedling subsidy in that year, it is about the same as Peng Xingxiang's assumption, which is 1190 yuan / mu.
Peng Xingxiang moved to Bihai Garden, not far from Cloak Mountain, which is probably one of his four properties.
It is said that Peng Xingxiang is whimsical, but he did not expect that he actually got the "demolition fee" in his hand.
However, is Peng Xingxiang really deploying for tens of thousands of yuan from ten years ago, and putting most of his heart on it?
Strictly speaking, from 2017 to 201, 9 Peng Xingxiang lived in the cave for 12 years.
During these 12 years, the fruit trees he raised were leafy and the livestock he raised were only fat and tender.
From the details of Peng Xingxiang's operation of the cave house, it can be seen that he really likes this cave.
In 2022, a reporter went to Bihai Garden to interview Peng Xingxiang.
It is reported that he now lives with his wife, and the two dogs he used to have in the cave are no longer there, he has a pet dog at home, and every morning and evening he will take the dog downstairs for a walk.
The habits he used to develop in the mountains have not changed now, he is very concerned about the green plants and fruit trees in the community, and sometimes he will bring his own tools to prune the green plants in the community, and the fruit trees in the community are also under his care, and every harvest season, the fruit trees are full of fruit.
At home, he also has several pigeons.
It can be said that Peng Xingxiang now wants to try his best to copy the cave life of the past.
"I miss it, those 12 years of life were very comfortable and free." Peng Xingxiang said to the camera.
Caves are the most natural dwelling places built by nature for human beings, giving human beings the most primitive shelter and security.
This is why, if possible, many people are willing to come to the cave to enjoy a quiet moment.
At that time, Peng Xingxiang was on the cloaked mountain, blowing the mountain wind, looking down at the scenery under the mountain, and the incense smoke in his hand was lingering, probably such a tranquility and comfort.
