Section 4: Stepping on Peach Blossom Mountain

Recently, the weather has risen very quickly, and the temperature is a little abnormal.

This week's outdoor group posts are basically walking on the mountains to enjoy the flowers. I suspect that it was still freezing and snowy in the mountains last week, and it was only seven days before the flowers bloomed. However, the mountain has to be climbed. If it's true, there's no harm in going.

When the car arrived at the Huanshan Tourist Road, what I saw was the green wheat seedlings, and the spring flowers were in full bloom. It is really a spring breeze blowing, thousands of trees are blooming, and the roadside landscape is full of flowers. The apricot blossoms are dyed pink in the white, the pear blossoms are pale green in the white, the mountain peach blossoms are pink, and the bauhinia flowers are full of jubilant branches, bright and dazzling. There are also unknown flowers, which bloom fiery red and enchanting. On both sides of the road, there is a sea of flowers, and you can see it full of joy.

The spring breeze blows thousands of trees and flowers, and it blows the Guanzhong Plain into a picture scroll. I also praise the location of these flowering trees planting is too good, blooming next to the mountain kilometers, so that the flowers become a landscape, and the style of blooming is varied. Winning so many spectators is the best applause! I watched the flowers and flowers in the car, but I couldn't get to the scene, and I couldn't hold back the expectation in my heart. The place where we are looking forward to climbing the mountain is also full of flowers, just like here.

In anticipation, the car stopped at the thoughtful Tuanbiaoyu. I haven't been to this line, and I haven't crossed many similar shallow mountains in the Qinling Mountains, and I really don't like to climb the valley between two mountains and one ditch. Today I came to see the peach blossoms on the mountain.

Before I went up the mountain, I saw a flowering apricot orchard at Yukou. At first, it was a peach blossom. This is the first time I have seen apricot blossoms in the mountains this year, and I immediately like to stop. After enough shooting with his companions, he chased the big army.

From the beginning of the mountain, I found that this route is different from the valleys in other places, the mountains are full of verdant bamboo forests, and the mountains have spit out new green, the mountains have a touch of green, and occasionally pink and white apricot blossoms bloom in them, making it have the artistic conception of spring here. It looks interesting and beautiful.

What I like even more is that the mountain in Tuanbiaoyu is going up on the slope, and it is full of sheep intestine trails. And it is all dirt and mountains, and the vegetation is very lush. It's been another sunny day today (it's just too hot, with temperatures reaching 27 degrees by noon. The spring is bright and shining, and the mountains are shining. Dry grass is shiny. However, the temperature rose too quickly, the snow in the mountains melted quickly, and the humidity in the mountains was very high, so that the top of the mountain was covered with a layer of mist, and the blue sky was not clear enough.

Zhouzhi County in Shaanxi is the birthplace of Taoism. Zhongnan Mountain in the Qinling Mountains, in this area, Taoist temples are the most dense from ancient times to the present. On the mountain climbed today, there are a total of 12 heavenly gates, that is, there are 12 Taoist temples, scattered on this route in the mountain. Most of the few we passed were people going to the temple. Each one has a flat yard and is surrounded by many sloping terraces. There are very thick apricot trees and peach trees in front of the house and behind the house, and the apricot blossoms are lively and lively, and the branches are pretty.

In addition to Taoist temples, there are also farmers on this mountain. The farmland on the mountain was returned to forest, and the villagers moved down the mountain. On this fertile dirt hill, there are many abandoned courtyards. Whenever I see a tree blooming without an owner, I will always feel something different in my heart, a little stunned, and more reverence arises spontaneously. I feel that this is an attitude, the master does not come, and the flowers bloom in spring. The blooming flowers of that tree seem to be waiting and cashing in. Although people go to the empty house, the spring is still blooming!

Whenever I come across a flowering tree, I smile and say, "It's so beautiful!"

After going up to the halfway up the mountain, I looked at the top of the opposite hill from a distance, and there were several courtyards and crop fields, and I vaguely saw a piece of yellow flowers. I think it must be a rape flower, and it looks very beautiful. I just feel that living on such a high mountain is really inconvenient to travel.

The higher you go, as the altitude increases, the new greenery you just saw on the mountain is gone. All the way up the hillside, only can not tell whether it is a mountain peach blossom or an apricot blossom, blooming in the green and yellow bushes, it looks extraordinarily gorgeous.

There are no new green mountains, but they are still empty and thin forests. The view is very good, and you can clearly see the many climbers of the other team, going up from the ditch on the opposite side. We looked condescendingly, and felt that we were still walking correctly from this side, all the way to the sun, basking in the sun, walking covered in sweat, steaming.

There are too many climbers here today, all of whom are people who go out to enjoy the flowers. When we walked to the bottom of the mountain beam, we looked back. The mountain top behind him is full of people, and it is completely a team, and it is spectacular!

Turn left from the mountain beam, and see a blooming dogwood in the distance, yellow and bright, which is really gratifying. This is the second time I've seen dogwood bloom, and the last time was on my way to Wanhua Mountain. The dogwood flowers and fruits that I learned when I was a child, and I remembered in my heart, "there is one less person in the dogwood", were only seen last year. That's the benefit of climbing a mountain. This sentence is related to brotherhood, which makes me kind when I see it, and I repeat this poem every time. And it's not just me who repeats, almost everyone who sees it, is singing: there is one less person in the dogwood.

Today, it is still the same, and my companion and I are reciting the poem at the same time, enjoying it happily.

Next to the tree is the farmhouse. It is rare for farmers in the mountains to live in contiguous areas. They are all scattered families in the mountains. The house was built on top of a hill. The location is good, the house is big. This is a hard-working family, and the yard smells strong. We're here to cook in the pot. The only middle-aged man I saw greeted everyone warmly, and I could see that he was happy to see us coming.

After lunch, we crossed the mountain from another direction. The mountains in this area give me the feeling that they are completely the living environment of the people in the mountains. Suitable for survival, sloping everywhere. On the way, I passed several houses, and the brick houses were very tall. It is completely the appearance of the countryside in Guanzhong under the mountain, surrounded by fertile fields and thick fruit trees. There are many houses that are still very new, and the yards are fenced and planted with large fields of various vegetables, and the growth is gratifying. But most of them don't have owners, and it's not clear whether they all went to work or moved to the bottom of the mountain. Judging from the size of the house, they are all hard-working and wealthy families. I just think how difficult it is for them to build such a house, and how long it will take for those bricks and tiles to be carried. It's a shame to be abandoned like that.

Continuing forward, I saw a row of two-story brick buildings. It looks like a commune at the time. Not far from this row of houses, there are also courtyards like the unit's family area, rows of houses, surrounded by neat rows of trees. Still didn't see anyone, but unexpectedly rushed out of the village a big ox. When he saw us, he raised his head and waged his tail and strode towards us. It tells us that this is its territory.

The big ox came from the main road of the village, and it was very interesting in the deep mountains, but I was afraid that it would rush over to duel excitedly, so I was so frightened that I fled.

After walking into this small village, walk from a house to a fellow. Seeing the front and back of the house, the apricot blossoms are still pink and white. Passing by the door of so many villagers, walking here, facing the village, there is no pity that people go to the empty building. Because I've been here for so long, how can the children of the diaspora get an education?

Perhaps, the row of houses outside the village was an elementary school at the time.

Leave the small village and continue down. From a distance, I could see the terraced fields on the opposite side planted with rape and wheat. The wheat seedlings are green, the cauliflower is golden, and the cows and sheep are flocks on the hillside. Roosters and dogs barked from the courtyards of the houses surrounded by terraced fields. It's a sight to behold. Finally, I saw crops on the fertile land.

The owner of the yard is an old man. He said that his family had gone down the mountain, and that he was the only one who could not leave the land and farmed here. The fellow also unraveled the many well-built houses he saw along the way, but there was no doubt about the owner. He said it was too cold in the mountains in winter. When it's warm, the old people will come back. Repeatedly: It's still better in the mountains, the air is not polluted, and you can't finish planting some vegetables and crops in front of and behind the house. The simple old man may not have seen anyone for a long time, and he can't stop talking to us enthusiastically. Let's come back in a little while, and we can eat the fruit. When the corn is ripe, he will cook it for us to eat. said that these are all invited for us to eat, and he planted them here, just to be happy, and he didn't want any money.

I drooled when I heard it. I hurriedly said that I would definitely come. I won't miss the freshly boiled corn. It may be that my expression when I said I was coming was very greedy, and I looked like I was sitting back and enjoying it, which made everyone laugh at me. I also laughed at them for being too good at pretending, and they were obviously worried about food, but they just pretended to be unmoved. Haha, it's so much fun.

This is also the overall feeling of this mountain climb. Although I walked in the mountains, I never felt desolate. It's like walking through mountain villages, passing in front of a house. I enjoyed the beautiful rural scenery, the same state of existence as the mountain, and the life that was synchronized with the present, just a little more tranquil and natural.

I think I'll come back. Not for food, just for the pristine natural scenery, let your mood also relax, simple.
