Chapter 331: Misstep

The next morning, Xiao Yao got up and found that it was indeed a sunny day. It seems that he can enter Huanglonggou today, and after Xiao Yao washed up, he also quickly sorted out his equipment.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Jiang Yan arrived on time.

Although it's late August, the temperature here is only about 20 degrees, and it's up the mountain and into the ravine, so both of them have long sleeves and long pants. Different from Xiao Yao's waterproof and windproof jacket, pants, and professional equipment for hiking shoes, Jiang Yan is just an ordinary long-sleeved hooded jacket, sports pants and sneakers.

At this time, Xiao Yao had already eaten breakfast, and the equipment was ready, so he set off with Jiang Yan on his backpack.

"My car is parked in front of Du Azhuo Restaurant, do I need to drive?"

"Huh?" Jiang Yan looked at Xiao Yao.

"I remember, you can't drive into Huanglonggou, let's walk in!" Xiao Yao hurriedly raised his hands and smiled, "I'm asking you how far is the entrance of the path into the ditch from here, and do you need to drive this section of the road outside?"

"It's about five or six miles away from the town," Jiang Yan thought for a while and said to Xiao Yao, "If you want to drive there, you can do it, but there is no one nearby, you park your car in the wilderness, don't blame me if someone steals it!"

"Okay, then let's not drive, let's walk. Xiao Yao hurriedly said. Five or six miles of road is two or three kilometers, which is nothing to Xiao Yao.

The two of them left the town and walked for more than half an hour, Jiang Yan took Xiao Yao to a relatively remote place, pushed aside a bunch of grass more than one person high, and took the lead in getting in. Xiao Yao hurriedly followed, and found that the path Jiang Yan said was not a road at all, but just an area with a slightly gentle slope, and you could go up directly without using your hands and feet to climb up.

The total area of the Huanglong Scenic Area is 700 kilometers, and the outer protected area covers an area of 640 square kilometers, which is only a small part of it that has been opened up as a tourist area, and there are still large areas that have not yet been developed. The so-called path that Jiang Yan took Xiao Yao on was obviously an undeveloped area that was inaccessible. The two of them went all the way up the mountain, and apart from themselves, they didn't encounter a single figure on the road.

The landform of the Huanglong area is very distinctive, with many canyons, changeable space, steep peaks and cliffs, rich waterscapes and lush vegetation. The two of them went up all the way, and the scenery along the way was very good, and because it was inaccessible, no one bothered him, Xiao Yao felt very relaxed and happy whether he was walking or stopping to take pictures, and it just happened to fulfill his wish to take an unusual road.

"Look, that's the 'Colorful Pool' I told you!" When he walked to a ridge, Jiang Yan excitedly pulled Xiao Yao and pointed to a few pools in the distance.

The Huanglong Scenic Area mainly looks at the water, and the most characteristic scenery in the water is the "travertine pool" distributed in the Huanglong area. "Travertine pool" is also called "travertine field", because the pool water is rich in a large amount of calcium carbonate, and various organic and inorganic substances form different travertine bodies in the sedimentation process, coupled with various changes in light exposure, forming different colors of the pool water. Although this kind of travertine pool is not uncommon, due to the geological particularity, whether it is the scale or the richness of the color, it is difficult to compare the color pool in other parts of China to the Jiuzhai Huanglong area. Therefore, the "travertine color pool" has also become a very famous characteristic scenery in Huanglong and Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area.

"It's very beautiful!" Xiao Yao looked in the direction Jiang Yan pointed, and sure enough, he saw some small pools of colored pools, he couldn't help but nodded, and then turned his head to look at Jiang Yan and said, "This is called "Colorful Pool"? I only seem to have heard of "Colorful Pool"." ”

"I took this name myself!" Jiang Yan said proudly, "The group of very beautiful color pools at the highest point of Huanglonggou is called "Colorful Pool", and those pools are more beautiful than "Colorful Pool", and there are more colors, so I will call it "Colorful Pool". ”

"You still give the pool a name," Xiao Yao deliberately laughed and teased her, "Then why not call it the "Eight Colored Pool"? Isn't it better than the "Five Colors"?"

"The eight-colored pool is not good, I have only heard of colorful and colorful, who has heard of colorful or something?" Jiang Yan wrinkled her nose, looking like "Don't think I haven't read!"

"Well, you have a point!" Xiao Yao nodded and smiled, raising his camera to shoot at the pots.

"Those lottery pools are so beautiful, don't you want to take pictures of yourself and the lottery pools?" Jiang Yan said to Xiao Yao, who was holding a camera, "I see that many people will take some photos of themselves in the scenery when they go out, but you only take pictures of the scenery along the way, and you have never taken pictures of yourself, do you want me to take a few photos for you?"

"No, I usually shoot landscapes or other people, and rarely let others take pictures of me. Xiao Yao smiled, "But this pool is indeed very beautiful, thank you for taking me to see this beauty." If you want, I can take a few pictures for you, I'm very good at taking pictures. ”

"Okay!" Jiang Yan said happily. Looking at Xiao Yao's posture of taking pictures and the size of the SLR camera in his hand, Jiang Yan felt that Xiao Yao's photography skills should be very good.

The place where Xiao Yao was standing just now was the best position to shoot the lottery pool, but it was not the best position to take portraits, so Xiao Yao raised his head and looked around again, and found a place where Jiang Yan had an ideal angle to take pictures.

"That's it. Xiao Yao pointed to a large stone protruding from the ground and said, "You stand on that stone, I will stand here and shoot for you, the line of sight angle is very good, I can shoot the lottery pool and you into it." ”

"Okay!" Jiang Yan agreed, and was about to walk towards the big rock.

"Wait!" Xiao Yao hurriedly pulled her and said, "I'll try it first!"

Whether you shoot a single landscape or use the landscape as a background to shoot people, the less obstructions and clutter next to you, the better. The place Xiao Yao found for Jiang Yan was relatively empty, but it looked a little dangerous. This is a slope that is not too steep, with a large rock protruding from the ground at the very bottom of the slope. The vegetation around the boulder is low and does not interfere with the view, but the angle of this slope suddenly turns at a right angle under the boulder, which means that the underside of the boulder is completely suspended and becomes a cliff. Four or five meters below the large stone are dense tree branches, and the distance from the ground is not visible at all.

Xiao Yao was looking for this place, he was worried that the loosening of the big stone would cause danger, and he didn't dare to let Jiang Yan stand on the stone rashly, but carefully squatted and moved to the edge of the big stone, grasped the plants growing on the slope with one hand, stepped on the land of the mountain with one foot, stretched out the other foot and stomped the big stone to test its firmness.

After stomping two feet in a row, Xiao Yao felt that the big stone did not move at all, so he stood on the stone boldly, first stomped two more feet, and then jumped on it twice, but never felt the stone loosen, then walked to the slope with confidence, and signaled to Jiang Yan: "It's okay, go!"

"You're really careful!" Jiang Yan smiled at Xiao Yao, walked down the slope, and stood on the big rock.

This is to take tourist scenery photos for ordinary amateurs, not hard photos for models, so Xiao Yao has no requirements for Jiang Yan's eye expressions, but just gave proper guidance on physical performance, telling her not to stand like a pillar, and show a certain angle and curve change in the neck, arms, waist, legs and other parts of the body, and then raised the camera.

helped Jiang Yan take five or six photos, and was about to ask her to change her position again, Xiao Yao suddenly felt that the ground under his feet seemed to shake, and then with a scream, Jiang Yan, who only exposed her upper body in the viewfinder, disappeared from the viewfinder.

Xiao Yao doesn't use the display screen to preview when taking pictures, but is used to putting his eyes on the eyepiece of the viewfinder to observe, so when taking pictures, Xiao Yao's line of sight is also the line of sight in the camera's viewfinder. Seeing Jiang Yan screaming and disappearing from the viewfinder, Xiao Yao quickly put down the camera and looked at the big rock. I saw Jiang Yan grasping the edge of the big stone with both hands, and her body was hanging there in the air.

It turned out that Jiang Yan also felt a shaking under her feet just now, and she felt that her center of gravity was unstable with her concave shape, so she subconsciously moved one foot back. At this time, she had forgotten that Xiao Yao had told her to hang behind her when she took a picture just now, if she didn't step back, she stepped into the air, and the whole person fell, but fortunately, her reaction was fast enough, and in the process of falling, she stretched out her hands and climbed the edge of the stone, and actually stopped her body and hung on the edge of the stone.

"Help~" After screaming, Jiang Yan screamed again. Although she was hanging on the edge of the stone, she couldn't climb back to the stone by herself with her own strength, her body was suspended in the air, and she had nowhere to step on her feet.

"Don't scream, don't panic, I'll pull you!" Xiao Yao was startled when he saw this scene, shouted, and quickly stuffed the camera in the way on his chest into his clothes, squatted and slid quickly onto the big rock.

As soon as Xiao Yao reached the edge of the big stone, he immediately leaned down, climbed to the edge of the big stone, supported the edge of the stone with his left hand, grabbed Jiang Yan's right wrist with his right hand and began to pull up hard.

Jiang Yan was slowly pulled up by Xiao Yao, and all the weight was basically supported by Xiao Yao's left hand supported on the edge of the big stone. I only heard a bang, and the stone under Xiao Yao's left hand broke. Xiao Yao only felt that his left hand was empty, and he had nowhere to borrow his strength when he suddenly lost his support point, not only did he not pull Jiang Yan up, but he was taken down by Jiang Yan together.

"!" Xiao Yao, who fell down with Jiang Yan's scream again, scolded secretly in his heart.

At this moment, Xiao Yao only felt the wind whistling in his ears, and he couldn't help but want to close his eyes, but reason told him that he couldn't close his eyes no matter what. If you fall like this at this speed, even if you don't die, you will have to lack a handful of parts.

As his body fell, Xiao Yao just turned his mind, and the gray stone in front of him was replaced by green branches. Xiao Yao didn't have time to think about it, his right hand was still grasping Jiang Yan's right hand, and he immediately stretched out his left hand to grab the branch in front of him.

Xiao Yao felt that he had grabbed a branch with his left hand, and he immediately wanted to stabilize his body with force, but this branch was only the thickness of two fingers, and the weight of the two people combined was more than two hundred catties, plus the inertia of falling, how could this not thick branch withstand it?

"Smack!" The branch broke, and Xiao Yao and Jiang Yan continued to fall downward.

Although the branch in Xiao Yao's left hand was broken as soon as he grabbed it, it also successfully slowed down the fall of the two. Xiao Yao was also a little calmer at this time, and looked down. Looking at an arm-thick branch branching out below, Xiao Yao took a deep breath and bent his left arm to hang on to the branch. The thicker the branches, the more they can withstand the falling momentum of the two, but the thicker the branches, the more difficult it is to catch them, so for the sake of safety, Xiao Yao chose to hang directly on the branches with his whole arm.

Although Xiao Yao only felt that the bone of his left arm was almost broken, he successfully blocked the fall of the two of them and hung them on the tree.

Jiang Yan was so frightened that she closed her eyes when she fell, and at this time, she suddenly felt a strong force on her right wrist pull her falling momentum to a halt. Although the right arm that was held was torn painfully, he opened his eyes in surprise at this time.

"Whew~" finally stopped, Xiao Yao breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the ground below and saw that Jiang Yan was no more than two or three meters away, and then opened his mouth and shouted to Jiang Yan who was pulling: "There are only two or three meters below at a height, I will let you go down." Be careful when you land!" Although I am out of danger for the time being, I also know that I can't hang from a tree like this all the time, I have to go down first.

"Okay, let go!" Jiang Yan also saw the situation clearly, agreed, and let go of Xiao Yao's wrist.

After Jiang Yan landed, Xiao Yao asked her to step aside, and also let go of her left arm and fell. Xiao Yao has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he has been playing parkour for several years, jumping from four or five meters in the air, and the soft mud below is still relatively soft, which is naturally not difficult for him at all.

When Xiao Yao landed, he habitually rolled on the ground to avoid injury. Jiang Yan immediately rushed over to help him up, and asked with concern, "Are you okay?" Xiao Yao fell one more distance than her Xiao Yao's arm span, and he was about to catch up with the height of the third floor.

"It's okay!" Xiao Yao patted the dirt on his clothes and pants, shook his left arm that was both painful and numb, and asked Jiang Yandao, "What happened just now? Why did you suddenly fall under the stone, didn't I tell you not to go back back before I took the picture?"

"I didn't mean to retreat," Jiang Yan heard the blame in Xiao Yao's words, and quickly explained, "I just felt that the stone under my feet seemed to shake a little, and I felt that the center of gravity of the whole person was unstable, so I subconsciously took a step back, trying to stabilize my body, but who knew but stepped on the air." ”

"Feel a shake under your feet?" Xiao Yao said in surprise, "I also felt it when I took the picture just now." I thought it was my hallucination!"
