Tianhua Mountain in the area of NS County, SX Province, covers the East Beam, South Beam, West Beam and North Beam, with an altitude of more than 2,800 meters. The highest east beam is 2964.6 meters. Dongliang, who was praised by mountain climbers as "lovers, mothers-in-law, and gods", is my favorite. I have been dating my favorite Dongliang "lover" more than 20 times. But the name "Tianhua Mountain" was only known in my third year of climbing.

At that time, a netizen went to Tianhua Mountain twice for two days to reload. After reading the photos he took and the travelogue he wrote, I was envious, but I didn't have the slightest urge to go. I can't do it alone. At that time, I had a problem with my back, and I often suffered sudden neurological tears on both sides of my spine, and the pain was unbearable at the onset of the disease, and I couldn't move (I haven't climbed the mountain again), and I couldn't bear a little pressure on my back. In the first two years of my three years of climbing, I climbed with my family or international students. They backpacked, and I hiked empty-handed. No one carries the weight for me, so I can only look at the mountains and sigh.

The climb is in its third year. That weekend I went hiking in the mountains, and my companion had to go home because of an emergency. For the first time, I backpacked and went to Fengyu to climb a mountain alone. I remember that I had half a bottle of Coke and two apples left in my bag, but the backpack itself was a bit heavy. I started to climb the mountain for more than half an hour, and on the big slope next to Fengde Temple, my backpack was so heavy that I almost died on the hillside, and my heart was extremely uncomfortable. At a critical moment, an "acquaintance" who was wearing a camouflage uniform, who had climbed the mountain here many years and had met many times and nodded several times, came up from behind me, looked back at me, and then "forcibly" removed the backpack from my shoulder......

In this way, this person, whom I call "camouflage brother", picked up my bag for me after learning about my physical condition. Since then, he has started to walk with the five of them for a year on Fengyu Mountain. He is a strong climber, climbing a mountain is to practice physical fitness, running on the mountain road like a rabbit, and he is a real wind-like mountain brother (actually smaller than me).

During the year of climbing the mountain with "Camouflage Brother", my physical fitness and speed have been greatly improved. I can walk down twenty kilometers. In his words: "What you can accomplish depends on what kind of people lead you." ”

I really want to thank the camouflage brother, who completely changed my appearance. I also became a "female man" in the mountains, climbing up the mountain and creating wind at the foot of the mountain.

A year later, I decided to fly solo and wanted to see the sky beyond Fengyu Phoenix Mountain.

I started climbing the mountain on my own with the outdoor team. When international students and their families can't come, I carry a 10-liter single-layer bag by myself. I can only hold one bottle of water in my small backpack (I can't carry two bottles of water), and there are always five slices of beef in the lunch box, and I won't put one more in it. At that time, every time I registered, I would ask the team leader if I could carry a bottle of water for me, and if I was sure, I would sign up. It's more that my fellow travelers help me carry the water.

Then, at that time, I didn't have to think about the two-day route of Tianhua Mountain. If you can't carry the equipment, no matter how fast you run, you won't be able to make the trip. The two-day route was not something that my teammates could solve by bringing me an extra bottle of water.

Later, I heard that the route of Tianhua Mountain was optimized, and there was no need to bring more food for the route one day. I set out the night before, stayed at a farmhouse at the foot of the mountain, and started climbing at five o'clock the next morning. That's it, I'm not tempted yet. Because in the travelogue written by the netizen before, there is a very dangerous cliff climbing. Although I love mountain climbing, I am not an adventurous person.

Six years have passed. Over the years, since the crossing route of Tianhua Mountain, it has always been a hot spot. The beauty of the scenery makes many climbers nostalgic and forgetful, and they have come several times. I can only share the beauty in their pictures.

It wasn't until June last year that I saw a traveler crossing Tianhua Mountain and photographed the vast meadows of the West Beam, the South Beam and the East Beam, where the dwarf purple rhododendrons bloomed into an endless sea of purple flowers, which made my heart flutter and my desire to go was ignited. Moreover, my favorite Dongliang has been to more than 20 times, but I have never been in time for the flowering period, and I have never seen the purple azaleas bloom on the meadow.

In particular, I was really drunk to see the brocade gray traveler sitting next to my beloved "cradle" dead tree on the dumb meadow in Nanliang in the photo, surrounded by patches of blooming dwarf purple azaleas, just like a fairyland. At that moment, in addition to envy, it was really jealousy and hatred. It's like he took over my garden and got a sneak peek.

From that moment on, the flame of thought was rising, but it was still being argued.

The time came in the autumn of last year, on the way to cross the Xiangyu ditch in Zigeyu. Several members of the team talked about the Tianhua Mountain they had visited. These words caught my attention. I watched them halfway and noticed that they were much slower than me. So, I asked them about the difficulty of the route in Tianhua Mountain. They scrambled to tell me how many times they had been there. There is no difficulty, only half an hour of climbing the slope to the top of the mountain beam, and then I have been walking on the meadow. And emphasized: "You can walk the East Beam and cross the South Beam, and there will be no problem with the physical fitness of Tianhua Mountain." We also saw a lot of takin. ”

I was so surprised by what they said. It's the first time I've heard of it now. It was decided right now that I would definitely go to Tianhua Mountain next year to see the sea of flowers.

In the bald mountain climbing in Layue last year, when I met the donkey friend Jin Gray who enjoyed the sea of rhododendrons and takins in Tianhua Mountain, which made me "jealous and envious", he also said the same thing as the two women lightly. Then I will be more determined. In June next year, I must go to the gluttonous feast of Tianhua Mountain.

From then on, I was thrilled at the thought of the endless meadow with its endless sea of purple flowers blooming. And began to dream of being in the vast meadow at an altitude of nearly 3 kilometers, swimming in the boundless sea of flowers. I laugh just thinking about it.

Regarding the takin in Tianhua Mountain, I asked the takin at that time if the takin eats people? He said: "It can't eat people, and it will hit people under abnormal circumstances." "Facts have also proved that people and takin are at peace and in harmony. Over the years, so many people have traveled through no man's land, and almost every time they encounter a herd of wild takin. There are hundreds of them, large and small, young and old gathering, playing in the meadow where the purple azaleas are blooming, which is more beautiful than the blockbuster of "Animal World". The beauty of the picture that comes back is fascinating.

However, even if it turned out to be such a warm and wonderful scene, I was also a little scared. Once on the river road to Dongliang, there was often a self-sufficient herding cattle. Once, the year before, when we were going down the mountain in the evening, he also came home, and when he passed by, he suddenly raised his head and threw it at me, and I screamed in fright, and my heart beat louder than the hooves of a cow on the ground.

Therefore, my goal is very single-minded, that is, to go to Tianhua Mountain to wander in the sea of flowers and overlook the takin.

Time flies, and the four seasons reincarnate. It's time to bloom in the mountains.

When I went to Chaoyang Cave to climb the mountain last Saturday, a fellow traveler who went down the mountain with me told me that a club had given two weeks' notice to go to Tianhua Mountain next Saturday to enjoy azaleas.

When I heard the news, I was excited to go down the hill and walked fast.

After reading the post in detail on Sunday, I immediately communicated with the team leader by phone and expressed my decision to go. The two companions were also eager to sign up on Monday, for fear that there would be no places if they were late.

In the past few days when I decided to go, I looked at the weather forecast in Ningshan, where Tianhua Mountain is located, many times a day. When I saw that Saturday was cloudy and light rain (there was light rain at 8 p.m.), I felt that this trip was decided. I signed up on Thursday.

It may really be "happy and sad". At noon on Friday, the thumb of my left little foot hit the leg of the table, and I almost lost breath when I heard a click. The family said: It's broken, it's broken.

At the moment when my painful little life was about to end, I thought: It's broken, it's broken, and I can't go tomorrow.

I quickly hugged my foot and carefully touched the wound, it was painful, but I didn't feel the stubble. This comforts me a little.

In the evening, the little thumb is like a purple grape. My mood started to get irritable. After trying on four pairs of hiking boots one by one, one pair of shoes that I don't often wear is wider and can be put in my feet, but it is very uncomfortable and painful to walk. Seeing this, I know that I may not be able to climb this mountain tomorrow. I have to hope that tomorrow I can put on my shoes and walk to the meeting point.

It's a big deal to bring the computer tomorrow, they go to climb the mountain, and I can work at the bottom of the mountain.

When I woke up on Saturday morning, the first thing I did was spray analgesics. I didn't bring my computer with me when I left the house at six o'clock because I didn't think it was a big problem when I tried on my shoes. But when I got out of the elevator, I didn't take a few steps and started limping. At this time, it was raining heavily, and when I crossed the road, there were few cars and few people, and I limped very funny, thinking that the road was too wide.

Tianhua Mountain is too far from Xi'an, and it took us three hours before we arrived at the forest management station in the reserve. After getting out of the car, quickly spray again. I don't know if it's because my feet are getting used to the shoes, or if it's really better. Anyway, I could hold back.

There are a lot of people who come to Tianhua Mountain this time, and we have more than 60 people in one big and one middle school and two cars. Among them, there were two days of re-camping, and two private cars accompanied by self-driving.

My other companion, Xiao Li, was in the cart and had not yet arrived. I decided to go first with my companion Jin Ling and wait for her on the way. Xiao Li is a marathon runner and has better physical fitness than the two of us.

The people who can come to cross today are all mountain climbers. It had not been ten minutes since I started walking on the forest farm road, and I couldn't see the people in front of me. I'm also taking big steps to follow up. At first, my feet were uncomfortable, but after walking the two-kilometer forest farm road and starting to climb the mountain, my feet felt a little better than when I walked on the flat road.

However, it started to rain lightly after less than five minutes of walking, and everyone put on raincoats. Ten minutes later, it was moderate rain. The two-kilometer forest farm road has not yet been completed, and it is windy and rainy. Soon the pants were all wet, and water poured down the trouser legs into the shoes, and the hiking shoes were full of water. As the altitude increases, the temperature drops rapidly. At this time, you can only walk quickly, and if you stop, you will be too cold to stand it. In the wind and rain, everyone walked forward quickly.

As soon as we finished walking the forest farm road, Xiao Li also caught up with us. She's really too strong to walk with ease. Her pants were wet to her thighs and her blouse was damp. We walked together for about twenty minutes. When I learned that it would take three hours to reach my first destination, Xiliang, I decided to let Xiao Li and a teammate I know go first. It was also at this time that I told her that I had a problem with my toes, and I couldn't walk fast today, so I might not be able to cross.

Xiao Li was surprised when he heard that I was going to give up, and even the strong donkey teammate I knew didn't understand and said: You are walking so well, why did you give up?

Actually, I didn't give up completely at this moment, but I was worried that if Xiao Li and I were not on the same cadence, she would walk uncomfortably and her body would be cold. The weather is so bad today that you can only keep your body temperature by walking briskly.

After Xiao Li left, Jin Zi and I continued to walk. Jin Ling repeatedly advised me not to leave. She said, "My feet are so uncomfortable, and the rain is still so heavy, there will be opportunities in the future." She was right. But I don't want to give up so easily, Jin Ling has been looking forward to this crossing for a year. Her physical fitness is also better than mine, and her raincoat is better than me and Xiao Li's, and she gave up for me. Therefore, I told her that we should strive to go to Xiliang and return after taking a look at the sea of flowers.

I continued to walk for about five minutes, and at this time, I also met team members who gave up from time to time, and a self-driving team that arrived earlier than us, and everyone retreated back because the weather was too bad. We have to stop every now and then to make way for them. This situation makes me a little discouraged. So, I was not thirsty, and told my companion to stop, I want to drink some water. I wanted to drink some glucose water and replenish my physical strength, and then rushed to Xiliang in one go. You can wear a raincoat, and it takes a bit long to get the backpack and get water. In the wind and rain, my soaked pants quickly cooled my body, and for a while my hands were shivering with cold, and my injured little toes were numb.

I know it's not good. Based on my ten years of experience in mountain climbing, I am now walking on a forested hillside, and the altitude is only about 2,300 meters. Tianhua SX Beam and East Beam and South Beam are all above 2,800 meters above sea level, and the top is full of meadows, and the weather is windy and low on weekdays. We went up in the rain all the way, and our clothes only got wetter. Now we are all cold like this, if we force ourselves up, we will definitely lose temperature, and the consequences will be terrible.

We love to climb mountains in order to live a more exciting life, not to play with our lives. The weather conditions now have to be lowered. I also understand that giving up this time means waiting another year. Because, the peak flowering period of azaleas is only one week. Even if it is late to bloom next week, I will not come, and my foot injury will not be healed in a short time.

We both decided not to go, it was too cold.

However, within 10 minutes of our retreat, we learned from the intercom of our reloaded teammates that there had been an accident about 200 meters (2,400 meters above sea level) in front of us, and one of our teammates had unfortunately been in distress. At that time, the rain was strong and the road was slippery, and the attention of the team members was all under their feet, and they were hit head-on by a lone takin.

Everyone in the team gave up the crossing and retreated.

It must be said here that after the tragedy, many of the reloaded team members who walked behind us put down their equipment and rushed up against the crowd down the mountain to go to the rescue. Xiao Li was on the scene, and she left her raincoat to protect the injured from the rain......

This is an occasional event, but it is also a small probability event. So, the moment I learned of the misfortune, I was so frightened that I lost control. Moreover, during my trip to Chaoyang Cave a week ago, I had crossed paths with the victims.

Three days later, I had calmed down from my stunned moments. We are all mountain climbers and empathize. We pursue a wonderful life, but also have a scientific and rigorous attitude to achieve.

Well, the original intention of giving up the crossing this time was not because I had a premonition of this accident later (I really didn't have that ability), but because the weather conditions were too bad and had to be terminated. More importantly, before leaving, my traveler Jin Gray repeatedly advised me not to go, and repeatedly said that I must not take risks if the weather was bad, but I was the wind in my ears. Therefore, it is also a lesson and a warning.

For the Tianhua Mountain that I yearn for, whether I can visit and appreciate it in person in the future, I have the answer today: next year I will choose another safer route, go to the appointment again, and share the most beautiful Xiliang!

We are pilgrims of nature, and the footsteps of pilgrims will not stop......
