The mountains are full of flowers, and the grass chain ridge

The Caolianling of the Qinling Mountains is 2,640 meters above the sea, which is the highest peak in the eastern line of the Qinling Mountains, and is located at the source of the Luohe River in the territory of SX Shangluo. I went there once two years ago with Teacher Xing from the school. However, that time was full of twists and turns, and after a day of tossing, I was looking at the mountain and sighing, spinning at the foot of the mountain. We went in the opposite direction, to the back of the Grass Chain Ridge. Because we went in the wrong direction, we got off the car far from the bottom of the mountain, and we hired two motorcycle relays to get closer to the mountain. The second time, the little rider didn't control the bike properly, and the exhaust chimney burned my calf after the bike overturned and the egg was the size of a piece of skin. Later, he was scalded and infected, and the pain was unbearable, and it took more than a month to heal. The one who suffered the sin now feels a chill when he thinks about it. At that time, I was holding on to my injured leg many times, and I decided not to go to Caolian Ridge, superstitious that it was my 'Waterloo'.

However, as the saying goes, 'heal the scar and forget the pain', I have completely 'carried it out' when it comes to climbing the mountain. There is always this place in my heart, and I have always looked forward to going to Caolianling. Especially in the space of a traveler, after seeing his exclamation on the top of the grass chain, 'Since then there is no highland to climb the mountain on the eastern line of the Qinling Mountains', I yearn for the grass chain ridge even more.

On Saturday, I saw a climbing team arrange this crossing route, and I decided to do so.

This time it's with gold. The two of us walked together, and we were destined to climb the mountain happily again. She had been to this route once. She said that the scenery is beautiful, but the waterway is too dangerous. I was in a different space for travelers, and I saw the beautiful mountain scenery from the photos. The most impressive thing was the long single-plank bridge taken by a traveler, and I was scared when I saw it. Decide that you can't get through. My balance adjustment is very poor, and I will be terrified when I cross the suspension bridge and the single-plank bridge. After so many years of climbing the mountain and walking across a single-plank bridge, it was on the river that Dongliang was about to go out of the mountain. I stumbled twice from the bridge and jumped into the water. The single-plank bridge is only half a meter from the water, and the stones in the water are clearly visible. Therefore, it will not be a big problem to fall. The photo shows that the bridge is very long, more than a meter from the water, and the water below is bottomless. This situation has become something I am worried about this trip.

Sure enough, the team leader in the car also talked about the bridge and the boulders in the river that had to be climbed by ropes. In the meantime, when it comes to the recent heavy rain, whether you can walk in the river, you have to ask the local villagers when you stop. If not, we'll all go back on the dry road. There is a difference in the scenery between the two, and the waterway is more beautiful.

There's also a dry road here, which I don't know. And her companion said that she had taken the dry road last time.

I came to cross the waterway today, and my companions should have crossed it even more. I also argued that as long as the whole team passed by the water, I firmly believed that I could not be the only one in this team. Well, if someone else has a way to cross the bridge, I'll be able to. As for how to do it, I haven't had a plan since I saw that photo.

The distance between Caolianling and Xi'an is still a little far, and we only got off the highway at ten o'clock. When I turned to the village, I saw the scenery of the mountain village, which was also fascinating. The crops that surround the village are green with corn and potatoes, as well as bean seedlings. The more the car drove in the direction of the mountains, the more quaint the countryside became. The low house has earthen walls and green tiles, and the villagers on the roadside eat with big bowls. Looking at this, I lamented that time had stood still in a remote mountain village. The only thing that is in line with modern times is that the road leading to the village, no matter how narrow it is, is concrete. It makes me feel a little better. But when I saw that the villagers' yards were full of dried local tofu, I was a little anxious: the mountain village is remote, so far away from the big city, it is not too easy to sell.

When I stopped and rested in Luoyuan Town, I saw my favorite potato glutinous rice cake on the small street, and I was about to drool over it. Seeing a few stalls of glutinous rice dumplings that didn't look good, and sitting on the side of the road to eat it was also unhygienic. I won't eat it because of the time constraints.

After arriving at the parking lot of Luoheyuan Scenic Area, I passed in front of the only glutinous cake shop here when I started to go up the mountain. As soon as the old man greeted me, I couldn't walk. So, I called my companion. Jin Zi was puzzled and said, "Do you really eat it?"

I said, "It's half past ten, let's finish eating and then we'll go." "Actually, I'm not hungry at all, I don't know what happened today, I just want to eat.

Kaneko had no choice but to walk into the store with me. After the old man served the glutinous rice cakes, the two of us decided that it would be enough to share a bowl. The amount of glutinous rice here is large and the taste is poor, and I never want to eat this snack again. However, this half of the glutinous rice cake really worked, and my companion and I did not eat the main food for the first Chinese meal, and we were not hungry when we went down the mountain in the evening.

The time to eat glutinous rice cake is only more than ten minutes. After eating, he quickly chased after the large army and found that there was no one in front of him. We both kept our heads down and began to walk briskly forward. When we walked to a fork in the road, we saw that the team (there was a leader in front of the mountaineering team, and there was a team leader in the back, all of them were team leaders) were waiting for us. We didn't stop and kept going. It's all about dialing up from the start. Therefore, after walking for a while, you will gasp for air. After walking for about 40 minutes, I heard a lot of people talking. The sound gets closer and closer, but no one is visible. I felt the sound below us walking. I thought: We'll be down there in a moment.

So, without pause, he continued to move forward quickly. The team shouted at us to slow down, saying it was still early. After walking for a while, the voice of the speaker was no longer audible. I felt a little strange and stopped and waited for the leader.

I said, "Team leader, just now we all heard the voices of the big army talking very close to us, why can't we hear them while walking?"

He said: The large army crossed by water, and the few of us who walked slowly returned by dry road. They are cutting straight to the left, we are to the right, and we are far away from them.

"Ah, why don't you tell us to go by water, and we'll catch up with them." I said a little angrily. My companion also said: Didn't you say that you will take the dry road today, when did you decide to take the water road again?

Team Leader: When you two met me after eating, the team headquarters was far away from us. Later, when you two walked so fast and turned into the dry road, I thought that you did not take the water road, and you knew the way.

Really, this is what happened today. I told my companion in annoyance that you had taken the dry road last time you came, and that you must want to cross a waterway this time. Besides, we're here to cross. Today, it's all wrong with eating that half of the glutinous rice cake.

At this point, I had to go according to the original procedure. The front was going too fast, and now I knew that I had five kilometers less than I had crossed, and I slowed down. Later, I simply stopped and ate. In my heart, I always feel very sorry.

Climb up in regret, with the rise of the sea, stand on the hillside, look at the distant mountains, the distant mountains are like shadows, the mountains are stacked, such as in the ink painting, very beautiful. And the mountain in front of us is full of stone seas, looking from afar, the verdant mountains, the stone sea that descends from the slopes, just as the locals describe it as a stone wave. Stone sea, in the mountains of the Qinling Mountains, when the sea is higher than 2,000 meters, due to the movement of the earth's crust, you will see the accumulation of large and small large stones without edges and corners down the slope, like the sea like waves. We have climbed up from the sea of rocks many times.

Even though I know that this way of existence has existed for thousands of years, when I can climb through it, I always concentrate with trepidation. There is always a fear that if a piece comes loose, it will be dominoes. Therefore, on the way to climb the mountain, if you can find another way, try not to climb up from the sea of rocks. Today it was like this, we had passed a large sea of rocks and reached a large wide flat meadow below the summit of the Grass Chain Ridge.

When I saw the meadow, the beauty in front of me made me unable to walk. The meadow of Grass Chain Ridge is so beautiful that I threw myself into my arms with my companions!

The great meadow in front of me is a thick, soft, and beautiful carpet laid by God! The green is a satin-like green, green and shiny, green and pure. It's so green that you can pick it up with both hands, and when you bend down, you can see the green smoke coming out of your fingers. What fascinates me even more is that on this green meadow, the mountains are full of flowers, and a hundred flowers are blooming. The flowers of Gao Hai are small and delicate, and the color is gorgeous. This makes it the most beautiful sea of flowers.

It's so beautiful! I can't help but get up while lying in the arms of a meadow 2,600 meters high.

Above the meadow, whether we stand or lie down, we are the highest. Dressed in the blue sky and white clouds, crawling in the sea of fragrant grass and flowers, at this moment, I can't think of anything except laughing. The two of us, dressed in bright clothes, laughed like flowers on the meadow. The flowers blooming all over the mountains are even more smiling faces, and the meadow at this time is full of smiling faces, white, pink, yellow, purple, and red. Haha, smiling so coquettishly. The wind blew and swayed everywhere, and this laughter became a sea of joy, accompanied by the wind of the meadow, all the way to the mountains and fields.

It's so beautiful, so beautiful that I bury my face deep in the silky and fragrant grass, and I just want to lie quietly and listen to my heartbeat......

At this time, the wind blew our clothes crackling, like applause for us. It is like urging us to get up, as if to say: The mountain is high and windy and too cold, and the babies are getting up quickly.

Okay, then let's get up. Get up and walk towards the summit of Grass Chain Ridge, our destination for today. The journey from the meadow to the top of the hill is uphill and continues upward from 2600 meters, which should have been tiring. But I didn't feel tired at all. Because from the meadow all the way up, all the way to the flowers. Walking through the sea of herbs and flowers, my heart is full of joy, and I am at ease with pleasure.

Like all the high mountain peaks of the Qinling Mountains, you have to pass through the arrow bamboo forest to reach the peak. The bamboo forest here is not large, but it is very dense and high. Walking out of the arrow bamboo forest, I saw a big ancient tree. The old tree is more than a meter high, neatly branched into six fingers around it, and the middle is flat like a chair, and I have the urge to sit on it when I see it. But when I looked closely, I was a little in awe and afraid. So, I said to my companion: This is the tree god of Caolianling, and we will not take pictures.

Continue onward and climb the sea of rocks that we must pass today. I saw that the stone texture of the stone sea at the top of Caolianling Mountain was delicate and white, while the other mountains were rough blue-gray stones. Therefore, it looks like a clean and quiet appearance here. There is also a delicate stone as jade, with black spots on a white background. My companion and I said in unison: Flower cow stone.

I really didn't expect the stone sea here to make us happy, because it is almost flat on the top of the mountain, and it feels very stable visually. After the two of us happily jumped to the easternmost edge of the stone sea, we found that the top of the grass chain ridge was on this small and tiled stone sea.

In the sea of stones, I unexpectedly saw the blooming alpine dwarf purple rhododendron trees. Dwarf rhododendron trees are densely packed together, growing between the gaps in the sea of stones. The lilac flowers are small and delicate, and they bloom like flowers. This flower makes the rocky sea on the top of the mountain full of warmth and romance.

On the top of the mountain, there are many mani piles built by many travelers who came before. Mani piles, large and small, are like soldiers waiting here. so that there is life here. And I, on any mountain, never build up a mani pile.

My companions and I happily jumped around in the sea of stones, sometimes overlooking Huashan, and sometimes expressing that I was the peak at the top of the mountain, and the heroes of the mountains. Before I knew it, there were two of us and two other male travelers I didn't know on the top of the mountain. The two of us hurriedly prepared to scatter.

It is much more difficult to go down from the sea of stones than to come up. So, I cut to the side and walked into the bushes. After walking a few meters, I found that there was no way and retreated back into the sea of stones. In just a few minutes, I was already terrified. I'm afraid that if we get lost on the top of this mountain, it will be terrible for the two of us. Fortunately, the two guys are still taking pictures.

When they returned to the meadow, they found only one person in the group. When his companion asked him why he was the only one, he said he had already gone down.

Listen to him say this, and hurry down. I don't know why those who crossed over didn't make it to the top. The two of us walked all the way, but none of us caught up. On the way, I heard the life in the stone sea on the right, and judged that the person who crossed it had come down from the stone sea. I said to my companions: let's hurry up, today we didn't cross, if we go to the end it will be ugly. So, the two of us went down the mountain quickly without stopping. As I walked, the noisy sound just now was like morning again, and there was no sound at all.

This makes me feel strange again. There are so many people in the two teams, how come they are so strong that no one is left behind?

It wasn't until we got to the parking lot at the bottom of the hill that we saw a few people who had returned with us in the morning. They said: I learned from the walkie-talkie that the entire crossing team had gone the wrong way in Shihai and was on Shihai again.

And there's this. On the way just now, I heard people in the stone sea, and it turned out that the large army was there and lost again. I regret why I didn't shout at them and tell them that the right way was with us, who were so close to them.

I waited for a long time and didn't see a single person coming down from the large army. It was windy and cold after sitting down the mountain for a while, so I went to the farmhouse below and went back to the first few travelers. A traveler said to me loudly: I heard your companion say that you two did not cross the crossing because you ate glutinous rice cakes in the morning. Let me tell you, you are eating this half of the glutinous rice cake too right. We just learned from the walkie-talkie that the whole team went the wrong way in the sea of rocks again. I was wrong in the morning, and I turned into the sea of stones before I reached the single-plank bridge. They are up and down the stone sea a few times today, and they can't even go to the meadow, and they can't reach the top at all. We were our own leaders, leading ourselves up and down. And they all led the way, and they all reached the top. Not bad, haha.

Scold. Everyone laughed when he said that. I originally didn't cross it today because I ate that half of the glutinous rice cake, and I have always regretted it. It's funny to hear him say that now. I told my companion that half of the cake had changed my luck. Let us not only see the grass chain ridge meadow full of mountain flowers, but also successfully climb to the top!

My companion smiled and said, "That's right." It's really a bowl of glutinous rice cake to change luck, we are too lucky.

Yes, we had such good luck today. We came in the most beautiful season of Caolianling and saw the grassy grass and flowers.

At sunset, when we left, looking back at the meadow ridge under the burning clouds, the distant mountains were like shadows, standing quietly among the colorful clouds, and the mountain peaks drew a long and graceful curve in the sky. And the clouds above the line, today we have wandered here, strolling in the sea of flowers, sharing the infinite scenery of the mountains.

When I saw this, I was excited: Caolianling, wait for me, I will come again!
