Magic Farmer Dara - 2nd Edition 43 Trip To The Mountains "Light" - 7

Yes, yes, then turn around, and now up.

You see in front of the village, we need to go there!

On both sides of the road upward sloped granite slopes. On which small bushes of bitter almonds barely made their way. The color of the rocks was bizarre, from red to purple. In some places, the rock protrusions were decorated with small islands of green and brown moss.

The road was a dirt one, not more than 2 meters wide. When driving cars, thick clouds of dust rose.

After a couple of hundred meters, the road went out into a mountain gorge, where an amazing view of the village was opened.

Before the entrance to the gorge some kind of swollen hill towered and some stone ruins could be seen on it.

Experienced look, Dara has determined this is an ukrpelenny point. He read about it in archaeological records. In the old days, in the area of ​​the Light Mountains, almost every significant gorge protected such a fortress, a fort, a fortified point.

Usually about 15 people were on duty there every day. Teens 13-15 years old and a couple of men aged 25-40 years. Archers, the owners of "Karmultuk" - wick guns and those who knew how to throw a sling were located in the fortified points.

Uninvited guests, could be met by a reptile of arrows, stones and lead bullets. And during this time, the local residents could come to the rescue, while others could take shelter high in the mountains, in hard-to-reach places.

Thanks to the unique relief, such mountain gorges had one narrow entrance, so even five or six people, the village guards, could safely hold the band of robbers or bek guards for 10 hours without exposing themselves to danger.

Only the locals themselves, knew the secret paths and mountain pa.s.ses in their gorges, the transfer of this knowledge to outsiders was considered "taboo". Those who violated this unwritten law waited for a painful death, for them and their relatives. But sometimes among the "their" were traitors. Years and decades pa.s.sed, but the traitors, then suddenly died, the highlanders followed them ... It was somehow dark ... but that was life in the past.

Interestingly, such fortified points helped during the Second World War, when the level of security in the countryside fell. Due to the fact that the police battalions and the National Guard patrolling these places were sent to the front. The crime rate has increased. There was not enough bread and food, since everything was set up to maintain the troops and was sent to the front. But the mountaineers ... they helped the front with food, but at the same time they defended their homes from bandits. No one could enter their ravines before receiving permission from the village elders.

The war ended, defeated the forces of darkness. But the mountaineers ... sensing the smell of freedom, decided to defend their independence from the central authorities. And who likes this? And in 1949-58, many of the fortifications and fortresses protecting the gorges, were destroyed by conducting a military operation, from hard-to-reach places, villages, people were forcibly evicted to more accessible places and then to the steppe for its development.

The ruins of those fortresses, villages remained on the steep slopes of the mountains. As a reminder that once there lived people.

Stop thinking ... here we seem and come ...

And then you turn on the right, that's just the third house, this is my home!

Their eyes appeared typical mountain building. A two-story, stone house, the material served as granite stones from the nearest mountain slopes. The color of the stones was brownish-red, sometimes streaked with purple.

The length of the house was about 20 meters and a width of about 8 meters. Surprisingly, the window frames were not traditionally wooden, but plastic, to match the color of the wood. A satellite dish was visible on the roof, solar panels were located, and video surveillance was also installed.

"Oi, dear"!

"What it is"?

"In the village and video surveillance"?

"How do the neighbors treat you, because this is a violation of the centuries-old traditions?"

"Even in our town, in the suburbs, rather, in the village, no one locks the doors of houses, there is not a single video surveillance!"

"How did you get to that?"

"Shame on you"?

"Everybody is turning the cars. We chose the wrong person, oh, old man, I didn't know what you were ..."

"We just lost time ...".
