Chapter 6 Section 2 June dates my favorite Dongliang
Dongliang is an eternal yearning in my heart, and it is natural to go every year.
The last time I went was on December 12 last year, when I walked with Jin Ling. On that trip, I found that the original forest farm road had been washed beyond recognition by the flash flood, and it was full of rocks and filled most of the road. In addition, the freezing rain made it even more difficult to walk on the small rocks covered in ice. Therefore, it was decided to go down the mountain and return to the Erliang meadow, and to get out of those dangerous roads before dark. At that time, when I decided to go down the mountain on the meadow, I had many regrets in my heart when I looked at Dongliang from afar, and I was a little embarrassed, feeling that I had missed the appointment with Dongliang and the "prince".
This time I decided to go to Dongliang again. Because next week is the Dragon Boat Festival, it is the day when I go to Taibai Mountain again. In previous years, I also came to Dongliang before I went, which can be regarded as training. This time, when we saw a post about going to Dongliang, we happily signed up. I thought that the weather was hot, and that section of the cliff would not slip.
There are many teams that come to Dongliang to climb the mountain today, and the time for everyone to the Qinling service area is not much different, and we are the first to go up the mountain. Walking into the mountain pass, you can see the deep green mountains, shining in the bright sun. The season at high altitude is always later than at the bottom of the mountain, and now it is like spring in Dongliang. Therefore, the flowers and plants are all fresh and green, and they are fresh and vigorous. In the bright sunshine, the mountains under the blue sky and white clouds are even more verdant and green, and the green is pleasing to the eyes.
Today was in good shape, and my companion and I were at the forefront. When I first entered the mountain, the forest farm road was easy to walk, and when I walked for more than a kilometer, I saw a very strong and sturdy big yellow cow in front of me, wearing a bell around its neck, and moving forward alone along the road, walking leisurely, eating leaves and grass. At first, I thought that the cattle herder was nearby, but I didn't see its owner before or after. When we were going down the mountain, we came across it near the location in the morning, and it was also coming down. This is too surprising to us, it turns out that the old cow not only knows the way, but also feeds himself, leaving early and returning late. It's slow, and we're in a hurry. Passing by it, everyone is still a little afraid, but fortunately, there are many people, and everyone helps to prevent and courageously pass, and it also "turns a blind eye" to us. And when I met it in the evening, it was just the two of us on the road. I asked my companion to pass by it first, and the scalper didn't respond. I walked cautiously, but it suddenly raised its head and squirmed, so frightened that I screamed and ran away, and my legs went limp. This cow is a bully!
Soon after our brigade left the big scalper, we walked forward and arrived at the rocky beach. The road into the mountain, which was originally very wide, has now been completely washed away by flash floods. Moreover, every time I visited, I found that the washed out road was pushed towards the mountain pass, and it became a ditch full of rocks blocking the way. What's even more serious is the single-plank bridge over the Wudao River to be crossed, most of which are missing this time, and only one wooden row bridge is still there.
Now the mountain, Hong is still roaring downwards and running wildly. In many places, the original roads have been washed away and the floodways have been changed, and in some places you have to step on rocks in the water to get through. When we came to the simple wooden bridge made of three logs, my determination and courage were thoroughly tested.
Three trees of different thicknesses are placed on a floodway about three meters long. It's high on our side, low on the opposite side, and there's a churning torrent below. I stood on this side and tried three times but didn't dare to get over, and the horror was overwhelming. Standing on the wood, just by seeing the raging flood below, my soul is gone. The leader of the team passed first, and he stretched out his trekking poles on the other side to welcome everyone over. My companion passed first, and she yelled anxiously for me not to be afraid. But I was scared!
I just didn't dare to pass. Blocking the large forces behind, I hid to the side and decided not to climb the mountain. Unexpectedly, no one was afraid, men and women, old and young, and no one hesitated on the bridge. It's strange! Am I a cowardly and scared person?
I mustered up the courage to stand on the bridge again. Still no, I was so scared that my whole body softened, and my heart was uncomfortable. At this time, a handsome guy from another team said that he passed first, and the team leader asked him to pull me over (this is the advantage of signing up for the team, the team leader will consider the safety of the team members). When he got up to the bridge, I suddenly felt that if he dragged me away, it would be the same as holding the cane that the leader had stretched out, and I would still not dare to cross it. I stood with him on the log, clutching his backpack so that I couldn't see the torrent below, and the fear was gone. In this way, he takes one step, and I move another. There were a lot of people behind me who told me to let go, saying that both of them would fall like this, and I knew they wouldn't. I didn't pull the person in front of me, I just squeezed his backpack with both hands, and my balance was fine. Unless he is unsteady on his feet, he will fall into the water at the same time.
It's finally over!
I was frightened and frightened, and I was very uncomfortable, and I couldn't walk steadily for a while with weak legs. Several times I almost fell into the rocks. The team leader said that he must be there to wait and help us over. I also think that the method just now is feasible, and I am not too afraid. The body's reaction now is that I was frightened when I tried it several times before.
There were a few more crossings in the back, and the team leader thought that I couldn't get through, but in fact, I passed them all smoothly. I'm not afraid to walk on a rock, I just don't dare to hang in the air.
After entering the mountain forest from the fork, the leader will not leave. After repeatedly confirming that the leader would help us cross the wooden bridge when they descended the mountain, Jin Ling and I continued to move forward. Maybe it was because I was frightened and the weather was too hot, and my whole body began to flutter, very uncomfortable, and I staggered for a while. Jin Ling, who was walking behind, saw it, and she shouted, "Sister Yunduo, let's take a rest." "This is Jin Ling's kindness and carefulness. I didn't tell her I wasn't feeling well, she found out from my gait.
After resting and moving forward, I was still weak and my mind was not clear, but I was just moving upwards mechanically. When I was eating at Erliang Meadow, I told my companion that I had been exhausted and physically and mentally exhausted for the previous period. She said: Maybe scared.
I didn't want to eat, I ate a lot of fruit, and I only recovered after a cup of coffee. The mood is also better.
At this time, the weather suddenly changed, just now it was still blue sky and white clouds, now the meadow is not only thick clouds, but also heard thunder in the distance, such weather is the first time to encounter in the past few years of climbing. I jokingly said: I didn't rush to the top last time, but this time the sky has changed again, and Dongliang doesn't seem to like us anymore.
Jin Ling laughed when he heard this.
After dinner, I met Jin Ling's friend on the meadow, a strong donkey with a high level of photography. So, the two of us began to perform skillfully, and began to show off on the green meadow where the yellow flowers were blooming, leaving our jubilant posture and happy appearance unchanged recently. In the past two years, we have left our jumping figure on many mountains. Then, when I came to the big meadow full of golden flowers today, the joy arose spontaneously, and I couldn't stop it.
Play and start the final rush. Originally, several people went up together, but after entering the primeval forest leading to the slope of Dongliang Mountain, it was the two of us. That hasn't shaken our resolve.
I haven't walked here for more than three years since the East Beam crossed. Today, when I walked into the ancient pine forest leading to the slope of Dongliangding Mountain, I found that the field of vision in the forest was so open, and the ancient cedar trees stood like pillars. This is a scene that is not found in other mountains. For example, before the Great Meadow, the mountain forest was full of high and low miscellaneous trees and grasses, with dense branches and leaves, shading the clouds and the sun, and the vision was limited. The altitude here is more than 2,800 meters, and the primeval forest is full of ancient trees, and new branches and small trees that are no taller than meters grow close to the ground, and the occasional rhododendron tree is sandwiched between them, which is disproportionately slender. In this way, an open space is created between the canopy of the trees and the mountains, and we feel that the forest is vast and open. During the walk, there is an indescribable relaxation, and the body and mind are like little people, as if they have broken into the world of giants and become elves like dwarves.
The thick, straight fir trunks of the primeval forests are covered with moss and long whiskers at the lower ends. It's like telling us that the owners of the forest are old grandfathers. However, the fact that these trees, which are thicker than my body, not only have straight trunks, but also have shiny upward bark, clearly tells us that they are in the prime of their youth. Look up at the canopy of trees that have entered the sky, and pay tribute to the forest that has walked through thousands of years!
The forest in June is so beautiful, the soft and fertile slopes, the green vegetation and mountain flowers are splendid, surrounded by ancient trees, looking up you can see the green "roof" that is propped up, and the birds are dancing and singing in the forest, all of which makes the forest have a quiet and peaceful beauty, like a fairy tale world.
As I continued to climb the hill, I saw rhododendrons blooming in the forest in the distance. These rhododendron trees, scattered in the primeval forest, are no taller than the waist of the fir trees. This is the first time I have seen azaleas in the forest of Dongliang. Most of the azaleas in Dongliang are pink, as bright as peach blossoms, and the petals have a jade texture because they are clean and thick, delicate and beautiful.
It was originally a tall alpine rhododendron tree that made us look up at the flowers, but here the whole looks like a deliberate flower arrangement. Because those gorgeous flowers blooming in the canopy of the trees, just in the middle of the forest, decorate the forest, so that the ancient pine forest has a poetic harmony.
Then, today is the most beautiful season in Dongliang.
The higher you go, the more the ancient pine is no longer straight into the clouds, but the pine is a thousand postures, the trunk is thick and twisted, the crown is almost flat, the branches are dense, and it grows into a large fan shape, becoming a natural bonsai. It's the cold and strong winds at the top of the mountain that have shaped them into fossilized shapes.
We crawled out of the intertwined ancient woods and came to the top of the East Beam. Before people stand still, they are shocked by the scenery in their field of vision. Today, the top of the east beam is full of greenery, yellow flowers. The yellow flowers of the green land, standing here, look at it, the mountains in the fog are hidden from time to time, the vast south beam and the east beam are gently undulating, and the atmosphere is majestic and embraces the sky. At this time, the distant mountains and the near view, everything is full of primitive and magical beauty, the beauty is incisive, the beauty is shocking, the beauty is so beautiful that you are surrounded by the tide of happiness, the happy heart blooms, and the face is smiling into a flower!
On the east beam of the south grass and the north wood, I heard its voice and didn't see anyone else at the moment. The top of the beam was too cold, and it was still drizzling, and the travelers who had arrived earlier went to the Panlong pine (ancient cedar) forest to take shelter from the wind and rain. There are only two of us on the top of the East Beam, and it has become the East Beam of the two of us!
The coiled dragon pine on the top of the mountain still looks vigorous and full of vicissitudes, like an ancient gathering here, telling the story of the years. The people inside are like soldiers who go out on the march, with their heads held high, standing against the wind, waiting for the territory of Dongliang, and the leader is the "prince" in my heart.
It is their perseverance that on the top of the vast east beam, the flowers in the meadow have become a garden on the beam, a piece of warmth. I wandered through the hilltop gardens and listened to the Prince. I sat on the meadow again, and in the fog I let myself into the most beautiful season of Dongliang. At this moment, it also became a flower, forming the drunken beauty of Dongliang. Although the thunder and rain were a little urgent, my heart was not in a hurry at all, it was like sitting in my own garden. I was beautiful in my heart, and I was drunk in it after a while. I cling to this body and mind, hugging my Dongliang tightly, hugging my Qinling favorite-forever "lover"!
Of course, I also want to ask my eternal "lover", why do you feel that you are complaining about me, and why is that?
I got up and walked to the "symbol" tree in the center of the East Beam, looking at its messy outfit, sad and disgusted. How tangible it was in the beginning. In five years, this old dead tree has turned into a messy pile of dead wood. The brands that used to belong: "Dongliang, my mother-in-law", "Dongliang, my eternal lover", "Dongliang, my god", "beautiful Dongliang, my eternal lover" are all gone. There is only one sign hanging "Meet Dongliang, 2964.6 meters". No matter how you look at it, I think that they who once loved Dongliang as much as I did not have the same deep love as me. As the years go by, my love for Dongliang is the same as always, and Dongliang loves me the same.
Then, perhaps, in many years, if there is one time to come, it will be my last, then I will definitely say goodbye to Dongliang. Because, in the past years, we witnessed together, shared each other's favorite and most beautiful hearts, and made my life wonderful, how could I empathize with love and lack of affection!
Hey, how can you feel sour when you think of this?
When I left Dongliang Ding and re-entered the forest, I said to my companion: As early as three years ago, I said that I would make a Dongliang brand in my heart and put it here. Next time you come, be sure to bring "Dongliang, my eternal prince." “
Jin Ling said then remember it. Yes, by all means. However, the content has to be changed. Now that all the signs are gone, "Prince" seems to be unable to fully express my love. It should be "Dongliang, my eternal lover and prince." "In order to express the friendship of all the people who love Dongliang!
In the forest, the rain was a little heavier, and the thunder was overhead. I was very worried that I would return to the big meadow of Erliang, and it would be terrible if the thunder was still overhead. But when we walked out of the primeval forest and returned to Erliang Meadow, the sky was sunny again, and it seemed that there was no rain here.
Although I know that "June Day is a child's face", I prefer to believe that Dongliang is reminding me that I can't lose my word. Okay, it won't.
Starting from the second beam of the grass, the two of us went down the hill almost at a trot. Because, it seems that we are at the back, and there are only two of us on the empty meadow. When I went down to the mountains and forests near Shihai, I caught up with the outdoor groups of Huxian County. We hurried non-stop, and before four o'clock we went down to the forest road.
This is the earliest time we have been to Dongliang many times. After a short rest, he continued to stride forward. All the way, I was worried, when we arrived at the river that morning we didn't dare to cross, would the leader be there waiting for us? Otherwise, how can we get there!
As he was walking, he noticed that his companion had taken the wrong path, and there was a wide river in front of him. Turn to the right path and continue to stride forward. The closer I got to that "bridge", the more panicked I became. Now there are no travelers before and after. At this moment, I suddenly heard music behind me. Looking back, it was a tall and handsome guy like a team leader. We quickly stopped him and asked him to wait a while to help us cross the river. The handsome guy nodded in agreement. Then, the pace did not slow down and we walked ahead. We said, "He doesn't care about us."
After walking for a while, I saw four travelers helping each other cross the "bridge" from a distance, and before we could get to us, they left early. At this time, I saw that the handsome guy didn't look back, and strode across the bridge. My companion and I said at the same time: he went on his own.
I saw the handsome guy put down his equipment after passing over, and stood at the head of the bridge waiting for us. Ouch, good man!
We trotted over. I still grabbed my companion's backpack and stood on the wood together as I did in the morning. At this time, the handsome guy pulled Jin Ling away, and said loudly: Come one by one, so that both of them will fall.
Jin Ling said: She didn't dare to live alone, she could only do this.
And just like that, we passed.
The handsome guy grabbed his backpack and continued to stride forward as if nothing had happened. We summed it up. I said, "You see that there is no one in front of us now, how can such a strong donkey come from behind, it is simply an angel sent by God to help us cross the river." Otherwise, we won't be able to get along today.
Jin Ling said: Come to think of it, didn't I go wrong in front of me, I saw a person in front of me, so I followed. Now that I think about it, that man was him, and he was walking around the river in front of me. He also went the wrong way, and he couldn't get through it when he wanted to. You see, he came back and happened to meet us. He was sent by God to help us cross the river!
Yo, it's still the case. Jin Ling said again: It's really a good person with a good reward. God told him to go the wrong way and come back to help us cross the bridge.
Haha, yes, yes, it's really a good person. I say from the bottom of my heart: Then we will continue to be good people in the future.
"Of course. "Haha, we laughed happily!
At half past six, we arrived at the meeting point in the service area. This is the earliest time we came to Dongliang to go out of the mountain, and it used to be after half past seven. However, we were the last to get on the bus, and everyone waited for us for nearly an hour. Ouch, I'm sorry. In the past, we waited for others, and for the first time, the whole car was waiting for us. Because, among the seventeen members of the team, the two of us went up to the top of the East Beam.
At the same time, we felt that today's Dongliang trip was very successful, and we saw that the cuckoo had successfully reached the top, and he had gone down the mountain so early.
However, the companion also said that the road in the river is too difficult to walk, and he will not come in the future. Haha, I didn't say it this time, I knew we would come back.
Because, Dongliang is our favorite!
