9 On the road to Bread from the Cauldron

The recipes were similar to the name on the old map. What does it mean?

It only remained to check on the spot!

No sooner said than done.

Shir-Ali, cursed under his breath, "it's cold, the wind is cold. Why are we not going by car, but on a motorcycle with a sidecar".

Dara was driving a motorcycle, it was green. The wind blew his face, he took the Shire, which was the name of the motorcycle because he did not have a car. But the main reason was that the Shire knew the map and places that were marked as recipes for dishes.

How did he know about it? Dara asked Shir, but he could not answer him. Motorcycle, Shire knew about it, but could not explain anything.

This also happens sometimes in the world.

From the capital, the first point with the name "Bread from the Cauldron" was two hours away by motorcycle. In the foothills.

It was spring in the yard. But it was still cool.

On the map itself, the name was, of course, another village "Golden Stream". Moreover, the name was preserved only on this old map. On modern topographic maps, the name of the village was no longer there. Since many rural settlements over the previous years of the country's independence, they simply disappeared.

People dispersed to the cities, stones, and trees from the villages were taken away by residents of other settlements. So these villages disappeared on the maps and only ruins remained on the ground.

Different landscapes flashed before the brothers' eyes. At first, it was the fields on the slopes, which were sown with green seedlings of something. Sometimes they were apple trees, which stood right next to the asphalt road.

Then the views gave way to foothills, narrow roads, beautiful hills covered with a carpet of herbs, red flowers.

On the way, they practically did not come across anyone, except for rare cars with prefectural numbers.

A good asphalt, the black road was replaced by a broken gray asphalt with large holes. It was only thanks to the Shira that they managed to avoid hitting them.

Then the road became completely unpaved, in some places it was necessary to get off the motorcycle and move it carefully, as the roadbed collapsed and there was an abyss below. Fearfully.

Then the road twisted between the hills until it led them to a small valley, in the floodplain of an already dry river, on the first and second terraces one could see the remains of stone structures.

Shir noted with confidence that there was the village of "Bread from the Cauldron" here 100 years ago.

Dara stopped looking around, chilled to the bones Shir Ali, barely straightened his numb legs. He froze because he did not use his superpowers. Before his cousin, Shir-Ali could not show that he possessed cultivation.

Both looked around ... but found nothing ... an empty place, it could not in any way reveal its secrets to them.

It seems the trip was in vain!

It was only then that Dara realized how wrong they were both in arriving at this place.

To which Shir suggested contacting the local museum, the regional museum. Maybe they know something about this place?

There was nowhere to go, so both chilled cousins ​​went to the regional museum.
