Looking at the Grass Chain Ridge from afar, pain and happiness

If you want to go to Caolianling to climb the mountain, it is before the National Day, and I know that Caolianling is also at that time. The pen fun pavilion www.biquge.info was tempted when he saw the picture of Caolian Ridge and the 2,646-meter sea dial. Now the attraction of mountain climbing to me is completely from the meadows in the mountains, and I am fascinated by the mountains with meadows. As long as I know that there are meadows on the mountains I have never been to, I will be tempted, and the mountains with meadows are all on relatively high sea tops. Therefore, Grass Chain Ridge is my immediate goal, and I must go there.

After the holiday, I have been watching the news about the grass chain ridge in the outdoor group, and when I saw that there were three groups of grass chain ridges, I decided to go on Saturday.

On Wednesday, I met Mr. Xing, a strong climber, on the elevator. Consult each other and hit it off. He called another teacher and made an appointment to go with him on Saturday. For places that have not been before, of course, it is best to go with the group. We found a group that passed in front of the school gate so we didn't have to get up too early. This group leader is a lady, and she is too careful in her work, and the time is set relatively early, arriving at our school gate at 6.35.

It's relatively difficult for me to wake up so early.

On Saturday, I woke up at six o'clock, my eyelids were so heavy that I couldn't lift them, and I washed my head in a daze. During this period, I also thought that the Sky Mage got up at 4 o'clock, what is the concept of time at 4 o'clock? It seems that his work is not something that we ordinary people can do, and I don't even need to think about it when I like to sleep lazy.

Hehe, it's not good to think about it early in the morning. It's not too late to prepare. I got up too early and couldn't eat anything, so I drank a glass of water and served it as breakfast.

6.35 arrived at the school gate on time. From a distance, I saw Mr. Xing's fat figure looking in my direction: "I arrived ten minutes early, I didn't see you, I still wondered, people of our profession are very punctual, why are you late." My companion told me at 6 o'clock that I was not going to go, and I told the group leader. ”

"It's not late, the group car didn't arrive early. It's too early, it's too painful to get up. Next time we'll drive. "I'm really not used to it.

Mr. Xing had never dealt with each other in the past, but they were familiar with each other. Here's a great introduction to him. Mr. Xing is this year's Outstanding Young Teacher in National Colleges and Universities. It's very knowledgeable.

The 6.35 car did not come, and the 7:15 car came. Because we had one less person, we didn't have the confidence to protest against the unpunctual group owners. When I got in the car, I was a little surprised that there were so few people, and there were less than 20 people in an Iveco.

It's a long way to go! Everyone in the car made up for sleep. It's very interesting, everyone wakes up together when they wake up, and the car is lively when they wake up. One of them is one of our alumni. He proposed a route and suggested that the group leader post it. As soon as I heard that it was meadows one after another, I immediately became energetic. At that time, I made an appointment to go with Mr. Xing, but when I heard that it was 4 o'clock in the morning and I had not yet spoken, Mr. Xing spoke first, "It's so early, don't sleep! ”

An alumnus said: "If you want to see the scenery, you have to get up early." ”

Teacher Xing said, "Then you can't sleep and watch it, what's the point of being tired like that." ”

"Waking up in the middle of the night is a bit like going to the market. I completely agree with Mr. Xing's point of view, wouldn't climbing the mountain become a long-term job in "Chicken Crow in the Middle of the Night". We set off the evening the day before, parked at the foot of the mountain, and slept in the car en masse. Then get up at 8 a.m. and climb the mountain. I said half-jokingly.

At half past ten, the car stopped in a mountain village, and the group owner told the car that it could not be driven in, and everyone could go.

Not a single carload of people has ever come. After getting off the bus, I set off along the cement road in good spirits. The two of us are going to the top, and we must be at the forefront. As a result, after walking for ten minutes, I found that the cement road was still very wide, and what I didn't expect was that the cement road had no end in sight. I looked at it a little wrong.

So he stopped and waited for the team leader, "You let the car come up, there is no problem with such a wide road." You can't see the end of the cement road in front of you. How long is it going to take? Have you been here?"

Team Leader: "It's my first time. But we're here to walk, let's go. ”

At this time, our alumni and another male traveler who was nearly 1.9 meters tall and wearing a sports suit overtook us and said, "Let's go." It's useless to complain "Listening to him say that, I can't say anything."

After another ten minutes of walking, the two former donkeys walked so vigorously that we couldn't see clearly, but the concrete road under their feet could be seen clearly. I found a problem: "Team leader, immediately ask the group leader to drive the car up and send us to the end of the concrete road, you look ahead, how long is it? ”

The team leader didn't insist, and immediately contacted the group owner, but the group owner turned off the walkie-talkie and couldn't get in touch. Everyone gathered around the team leader and began to complain.

Teacher Xing and I decided to hire a car to move forward. I didn't expect that this paradise was not only primitive beauty, but also the means of transportation stopped at the early stage of socialism. There are no cars to be seen on the road. The villagers are scattered, and there are only two or three families from this village to that village. There was no one in the yard and no car. Such a village in the depths of the mountains is indeed beautiful, but we are in a hurry to go up the mountain and the endless concrete road to enjoy it.

Then he walked to a family and asked, "How far is this place from Caolianling, fellow, and how long is this cement road?"

"It's more than 40 miles away, and there are still more than 30 miles on the cement road. The fellow said.

Oh my God! This is going to die.

There is no need to go up the hill today, and it would be nice to be able to finish the cement road. It was then that we both understood why there were so few people in this group. This group of lords is also too irresponsible. We will never go with her again. No wonder she has so few people, I think next time she will have to drive a proud car to pull three people in the upper gear......

Hire a car, you must hire a car. But there's a car there.

Ouch, you said my life! What do you want!

Not far away, an old man came from the other direction on a motorcycle. The two of us hurriedly walked to the front of the car and stopped, "Fellow, help call a car to take us up the mountain." ”

The fellow said, "We don't have a car here, and we go out on motorcycles." I have something to do, I can't send it to you, I'm busy watching the sheep. "When he said 'watching sheep' came down the mountain, he realized that he was in the business of buying sheep. I thought he was herding sheep on a motorcycle.

"You can help us, this road is too long, you send us and come back to see the sheep, don't delay your business." You say how much it is. "I knew very well in my heart that he couldn't leave because my life was good, haha.

Teacher Xing said anxiously on the side, "We don't care about money, you can give you as much as you want, you can say it." Give you 50. ”

I just wanted to laugh when I heard it, because although the fellow kept trying to get out, he was not resolute. I only heard him say that 30 yuan will not you see if it is okay, and Mr. Xing was still saying on the side that 50 lines are not good, and if it is not good, you can see how many lines you can.

The fellow agreed to send us.

After agreeing, how to sit on this made me flurry for a while. I thought that I would send Mr. Xing after the fellow sent it, and it was a car for half a day. Oh my God, what is this, what should I do if I fall?

Sitting on the motorcycle, I started sneezing after a while. And Mr. Xing kept talking to the fellow countryman, "You come to pick us up when we go down the mountain, and you can take care of the money." Sell us your soybeans and eggs as well...... "I also offered to buy him 20 pounds of walnuts and roosters." Ha ha.

After walking for a long time, when I arrived at a place with a farmhouse, the fellow parked and said that the car could not get in. An hour further on, you can go up the mountain, and it takes a total of 4 hours to get from here to the summit of Caolian Ridge.

We got off the bus with gratitude, and repeatedly asked the fellow to come and pick us up at six o'clock in the evening, "You must come." You see, it's just the two of us who are going up the mountain now, and the whole team can't come up, and if you don't come to pick us up, we won't be able to get out. ”

Teacher Xing also said on the side, "You can use as much as you want, and 100 is fine." You must come, and by the way, you can sell us some souvenirs. "And the fellow said that it would be 50, and Mr. Xing kept saying that 100 is not good, it can be more, and you can say as much as you want.

The fellow agreed. During the process, I always thought that Mr. Xing's southern Mandarin fellows couldn't understand it, because the last words he said were all said by himself.

The fellow walked towards the farmhouse, and we happily crossed the bridge and headed in the direction he pointed. The two of us were overjoyed by our actions, and even said that our lives were good. I had just walked less than 20 meters when I saw four people working in the field on the side of the road. At this time, I was in a good mood, and when I saw them, I really felt that it was a reproduction of farming in a paradise.

In terms of age, this is the three belts of grandchildren. A young man was plowing the plow, and his grandmother and mother were looking for something in the ploughed field. When I asked, I found out that it was a shaved potato. Hehe, for the first time, I knew that potatoes were ploughed out like this.

After saying hello, I knew that there was still a long way to go to the foot of the mountain: "Are you going to Caolianling? There are still more than ten miles." ”

There are still a dozen miles (and later I realized that they were not talking about kilometers)? Then hire a car. So we decided to let the boy of the four of them sit and play on the ground and give us a ride on a motorcycle. There was as much money as the fellow just now.

The boy happily rode to see us off. At the age of nineteen, he was very thin, only more than 90 pounds, while Mr. Xing and I were more than 270 pounds. On this very difficult road, we were a little scared as we sat in the back. The boy kept asking us to sit forward because he couldn't hold the car down. As a result, the car finally overturned in a very bumpy place. The cigarette pipe burned off my calf, a piece of skin the size of a plantain......

Teacher Xing was deeply disturbed by this: "If I can spend a lot of money to change your legs from being hot, I am willing to ......"

"Don't worry, it's a blessing that the burn doesn't interfere with walking. "I don't want to make Teacher Xing uneasy, it's so difficult to get here. In fact, I felt like crouching down in pain.

"You're starting to walk with a limp. Teacher Xing's face was full of apologies.

……

After asking the little rider and making sure that there was only one way up the mountain, we started to go up the mountain. Looking back in the direction you came from, you can't see a latecomer. Think about it, we are two cars relay here, how can the people behind catch up with us. For a while, we admired ourselves for how lucky we were. Hehe, this feeling is really cool!

The blue sky and white clouds, the mountains are quiet and peaceful. This is the most beautiful season in the mountains. When I started to climb the mountain, I found that this place was really in a primitive state, the thick fallen leaves covered the trail, the mountain road was weak, the mountain spring beside the road became a stream, the song was singing, the mountain layer forest was dyed, the thick green was full of leaves, and the golden leaves of the tree were even more dazzling and eye-catching.

The wild chrysanthemums on the side of the road are in full bloom, and the frosted flowers are more like victors, revealing proud smiling faces. Indeed, mountain chrysanthemums should be proud, only they are blooming in this season, not competing for spring flowers, ten thousand trees are bleak, decorating the mountains to their heart's content.

Ouch, looking at these smiling faces, I was so happy that I could only laugh, and then I stopped to take pictures of the flowers, so that they would become eternal in my memory, and also let me remember that I had been here in Caolianling and shared the happiness of the flowers.

He was so happy: "It's just the two of us on this mountain, you say how blessed we are, we may be the only ones in this group who have arrived here, and they should return if they can't get here." ”

"It was so worth it today. Teacher Xing said happily.

Ah, I see! Less than half an hour up the mountain, we saw the top of Caolianling! It is very similar to the East Beam, but it is longer than the East Beam, and there are some ups and downs in the middle. Unlike the East Beam, the beam is placed side by side with a sea of stones. Later the locals said they called it 'Stone Wave', and I think it would be more accurate to call it Stone Wave here. The little rider said he had gone up there, and there was a long, long meadow on top of it.

Now that you can see it from afar, it's so attractive. The two of us smiled happily from ear to ear, and sped up to move forward!

"The top is so close to us, it will be there in two hours. This strength is much smaller than that of Dongliang. The companion said happily.

"Yes, the kid said it took them less than three hours to get there. But why didn't we meet a single one of the people who came to the crowd today, and there wasn't any garbage on the road?" I asked.

"That is, yes. It's quite strange, doesn't it mean that this is the only way? From the Internet, it can be seen that Caolianling is from Shangluo up the mountain, but we are from Weinan, is it wrong for our group from the beginning?" said his companion. Later facts proved that he was right.

Mr. Xing uses GPS to navigate and locate all the time.

I didn't have any sense of direction at all, and I was worried that something would go wrong when I went down the mountain. When I walked 2,100 meters to the sea and didn't encounter any road signs, I started to leave markers on the branches with paper towels. I jokingly said, "If we get lost, they can find us by the marker." ”

I did this because I found that Mr. Xing was constantly setting up GPS, and he didn't look at the situation around the road he was walking at all, which was terrible. GPS is error-free within 10 meters when there is no Peugeot setting, and the way he sets it is to use the navigation beacon between us from the top of the grass chain ridge, which is the positioning of the mountain. And the woods on this mountain are so dense that if we get lost, ten meters is enough to take us in the other direction. The markings left behind and the characteristic environment along the way are the same, the only ones that can be relied on.

When I came to the end of a road with three paths, Mr. Xing took my advice: take the middle one.

We climbed up again. In half an hour, he only walked up 22 meters in the sea. And the top of the grass chain is still 400 meters away from us. Under normal circumstances, such a mountain road can reach the top in just over an hour.

I'm in front, my companions are behind. The road ahead has been a patchwork of branches. At this time, Teacher Xing said, "The road is not obvious, we can't walk in such a dense wood. It's better to step back and go the other way. We should have hired the kid as a guide. ”

Listening to him say this, I felt that Mr. Xing was a little less firm in his judgment. The positioning in his hands shows that the path we have taken is the closest. And he apparently thinks the other path might be more accurate. I'm not sure either, and there has to be unanimity in this case.

Retreating to the end of the fork in the road, we climbed up another smaller road, and as we saw farther and farther away from the sea of rocks, we went in the other direction. These two roads have a common feature, both are small and almost impossible to see, because the leaves are covered in this season. I'm still making marks on the branches.

It's definitely not the right path. It was already half past two in the afternoon. At that moment, I heard a voice from below, and then I heard "Have you reached the top?"

We quickly responded, "We're here!"

However, they replied and never answered again. And their voices grew farther and farther away, indicating that they were moving up the middle road.

"Those two must be our teammates, they must be the one in shorts and short sleeves and our alumnus. "I say for sure.

"It's the two of them, and they're the only ones who have the possibility of getting here. Teacher Xing also said affirmatively.

The road in front of us stretches to the right, and the sea of stones is in front of us on the left. On top of that, the road ahead is simply unrecognizable. It was almost three o'clock, the weather in the mountains was dark early, safety first, and after discussion, it was decided to give up climbing to the top and not move forward.

So, looking at the top of the grass chain ridge from afar, I took a picture of the stone sea that was highly parallel to us. At this time, we are at 2219 meters, which is less than 400 meters from the top. From our point of view, there is no regret about seeing such a beautiful view.

When we went down the mountain, we found that the marks we left were too important, because a strange phenomenon came out, that is, when climbing up, we could always see a vague path, and when we went down, we could not see anything, it was all dead leaves. And the traces of the two of us walking just now can not be seen, the fallen leaves are too thick. It seems that I was right to mark my companion when he noticed that he was not paying attention to the road he was taking. Because he only cares about setting, he can't find the mark I left there.

I also admire myself, I often get lost in very simple places, but in this place where I can't distinguish it, I calm down, and when I can't find it for a while, I stop and patrol in place, and finally I find out. It was also this time that I found it so good to use paper towels as road signs. The white color is so striking in the mountains and forests.

Finally, after more than an hour, I went down to the location where there was a mountain spring, and I could see the mouth of the mountain.

After leaving the mountain, he met the leader, and he finally walked to the foot of the mountain. It's just that Wangshan sighed and waited for the two of us to come down the mountain. The other two who told us to go up were the two travelers we were talking about. Half an hour later we waited for them. The two travelers did not reach the top due to lack of time.

The short-dressed traveler said, "Do you know why we have to come up, it's because of you, your physical fitness is so good." When we knew that you two had come up, we were worried that you wouldn't be able to get out of the mountain when you came down, so we came up so that we could take care of you. I heard you speak on the mountain, and when you have reached the top, you have fallen down. Don't mention envying both of you. We followed the marks you left behind, and later found that your voices were getting farther and farther away from us. What's going on?"

"Haha, I'm not strong, we were sent to the foot of the mountain by motorcycle relay, and today it was enough to climb the mountain for five hours. "It's really embarrassing to say I'm strong.

The little magical thing is that the short-dressed traveler continued, "I picked up a box and wanted to throw it, but it was this box that made us sure that there was nothing wrong with this path." The red color was so striking that I took it down. "He showed it to me.

Oh my God! It turned out to be my camera case! What time did you lose it? It was so much fun. All four of us burst out laughing! haha......

Our laughter echoed in the valley, and we laughed so happily, not only because of this little magical coincidence, but also because the four of us went to the highest place in Caolian Ridge and saw a different scenery.

The echo of laughter is what Qinling rewards us!
