Chapter 7 Section 4 At the end of the year, the East Liang crosses the South Liang
At the end of the year, the East Beam crosses the South Beam
Every winter, I look forward to going to Dongliang again. This kind of expectation is also a wish that must be realized, as if it is an agreement, otherwise I will miss the promise and lose my favorite piece of Qinling Mountains.
Since I first came to Dongliang six years ago, I have been coming to Dongliang every year for the past few years, more than twice. However, this year I only came once, in June. During this period, I always had the idea of coming, but I couldn't make up my mind. Because, now the section of the forest farm beach road to Dongliang is too difficult to walk. Just thinking about the diagonal bridge made of three logs makes me panic. Fear has dampened my enthusiasm for going.
After I came back in June, I saw many beautiful and charming pictures taken by mountain friends in Dongliang, which made me intoxicated and sad, and I couldn't help but think: I may not be able to go to Dongliang.
In winter, I saw waves of mountain friends going to Dongliang. I couldn't hold back the impulse in my heart, and finally the yearning prevailed over the fear. I still want to go to my favorite Dongliang and make an appointment with my eternal "lover".
This time, the route sent by the famous outdoor team is a P-shaped crossing from Dongliang to Nanliang. I have walked through this route several times, but I only went to the dumb mouth between the south beam and the east beam, and did not go to the south beam. Since the traditional route of Nanliang crossing Dongliang and the impassability of Fujia River, I have not been to Nanliang in the past two years. Therefore, after setting off today, I will discuss with my companion Jin Ling, let's go faster, strive to go up to Nanliang today, and then return to the dumb mouth to go down the mountain. My companion couldn't agree more.
Recently, the air quality in the city has been very poor, and in the past two years, severe smog has become the norm in winter, which has damaged my nose with severe allergies, so I have a stronger desire to go into the mountains than anyone else. After parking in the Qinling service area, I saw that the sky was blue and the sun was shining, and the mood was very good, and the whole team was beaming, and there was the joy of seeing the "sky in the JF area".
The ascent to the mountain began at nine o'clock. With the blue sky overhead, walking on the mountain path sprinkled with golden light, the mood is happy and exciting. Everyone walked fast, and they were all shooting stars. Another companion, Hyacinth, said, "This team is too strong, and it goes so fast." "Heh, this is determined by the distance of Dongliang, not fast. I slowed down because Hyacinth was coming to Dongliang for the first time and was struggling to walk. Later, it was decided that she would only go up to Erliang and return to the dumb mouth, and Jin Ling and I would go first.
It's not easy to come to Dongliang now, and I can't take too much care of it.
After half a year, the road is much easier to walk than in the past, the road used to be like a dry riverbed, the road is full of rocks blocking the way, and there are eight temporary "bridges" to wade through and build with trees. Now I see that the path has been widened and leveled in half a year, and there are almost no large stones that used to have to be climbed from the rubble. I originally thought that the climber had walked flat, but later I found that from the beginning of the road into the forest farm, until the end of the eight-kilometer forest farm road, I saw that the roadside of the mountain was full of fallen dead trees, and the shrub branches on the roadside slope were also cut down, and the whole mountain forest seemed to be trimmed, and it seemed to be very empty. By analogy, it may also be that the forest farm road is easy for the forestry personnel to repair.
It was an unexpected sight. I thought that after half a year of flash floods and rocks, the road would be more difficult to walk, but it turned out to be the best road in the past few years. What an unexpected delight! So much so that I didn't recognize the "oblique wooden bridge" built with three trees when I walked to the last time, and it looked like a new "seat", which looked obviously lower than the last time I was away from the river, and the boast was smaller. Intuitively, there is no fear of last time, and with the help of his companions, it is easy to pass. It's great that the biggest roadblock of the "leaning wooden bridge" that scares me when I think about it has been removed. It's so good, it's a bright and smooth road!
At that time, I thought that Dongliang could come again as soon as I wanted. However, when I came back with my headlights and crossed the bridge at night, it took a lot of twists and turns, and I really didn't dare to move in the night. The companion said that it was because he couldn't see clearly and because there was thin ice on the wood. All in all, it's much easier to walk than when summer comes. The entire eight-kilometer forest farm road is the best walk in recent years.
Once you enter the forest, you will only be in the real uphill mode. There are also dead trees that have been cleared in the forest, making the thin forest in winter more open and wide-sighted. Today the sky is clear in the mountains and the visibility is very good. The sea of stones that I saw from afar on the forest farm road was about to arrive. At that time, when I turned a corner on the forest farm road, and the stone sea and the beautiful arc on the top of the mountain appeared in front of me, my heart was the same as every time I saw it, and I was excited. When you get there, you are almost at Caoerliang, and you are close to Dongliang.
When I first came to the city, I went from the right side of the stone sea to the left and then went up. Walking from the sea of rocks is a bit dangerous, but it's fun. Therefore, I enjoy playing in the sea of stones. Later, the road to Shangdongliang turned to the left when it was far away from Shihai, and did not pass through Shihai. Now, every time I come, I look at the stone sea from afar, recalling the mud monkey-like appearance when the heavy rain came that year, and jumping happily in the stone sea. There is also sitting alone in the sea of stones, watching Jin Tao lapping the shore in the golden wind, thinking about the beautiful story that has not gone far. All this, at this moment, seems to be repeated in the sea of stones, I can't help laughing: the past is so good, praise for Duo'er!
Leaving the location of Shihai and continuing to go up is not easy to walk all year round. Above it is a swamp, and perennial water flows downstream, making this section of the mountain road muddy in hot weather and ice in winter.
Today, the road is covered by a thick layer of ice, and the trekking poles are so slippery that they can't even touch the ground, and people can't stand up. They had to make a detour through the bushes and the arrows, and even then they had to step on the ice in some places, and they trembled to the swamp. Because it is frozen and hard, it is easy to pass, and it is no longer a foot of mud, and the mood is relaxed and excited.
I was excited because we came to Caoerliang, which is about 2,800 meters above sea level.
Today's grass two beams are intoxicatingly beautiful, so beautiful. I saw the clean blue sky and white clouds and the golden meadow shining together, making this place a fairyland, beautiful as a dream. The sky is so blue, and the blue has become a clean gem, and at a glance, it is clear from the bottom of the eyes to the heart, and it is so beautiful that people just want to laugh. The white clouds on the mountain are so clean, silky as jade, when I see it, my heart is clear, and my soul is like a white cloud, and I can't wait to fly.
The golden meadow everywhere has become a luxurious living room in the bright sun, a shiny and soft carpet, and we are happy to start to have fun on the beautiful and noble carpet. At this time, the smell of the sun's fragrance and the rich grass fragrance surged into people's hearts, and they were instantly drunk. Lying on the soft meadow, looking up at the blue sky and white clouds, bathing in the golden sunshine, my heart is so beautiful that I can only smile when I squint my eyes, and my whole body and mind are in this fairyland on earth, and I am as happy as a fairy.
I like the grass two beams very much. It's like a home away from home in the middle of the day, where we all have lunch breaks at 10 noon. Therefore, whenever you trek for more than four hours to walk here, what you see is always on the big meadow, full of climbers basking in the sun and eating, and the scene is warm and pleasant. At this time, there are people on the second beam of the grass, and there is a wonderland like a fairyland, and everyone is as comfortable as a god descending to earth.
After dinner, it's time to continue on your way. I am also anxious, we are going to Dongliang.
This section of about an hour's journey should be the last section of the entire crossing. Entering the primeval forest, walking through the ancient towering trees, we are like walking little people, swaying and walking, just like children playing. We were supposed to hurry, but this high-altitude climb was really a bit overwhelming, and everyone was the last resort, so the walk was slow and unsteady. However, everyone's heart is happy, because Dongliang is not far away. Come on, come on!
When the sun shines through the forest, there are clusters of golden light in the forest, which makes the winter forest more primitive and mysterious beauty. The large forest that looked at the empty sky was full of tree trunks that were too thick for a person to hold, straight and straight. Looking up, you can see the canopy of trees entering the clouds, making the blue sky and white clouds as beautiful as the flower canopy of the forest. At this time, the quiet forest, as if waiting for a grand festival to arrive, is filled with a peaceful atmosphere and joy. We walked up with joy, and laughed loudly in the happy forest.
The higher you go, the closer you get to the top of the mountain, the thicker and lower the trees become. When the sun shines overhead, the trunks of the surrounding trees are no longer visible, all of them are intertwined, no more than a meter high, and the crown is as big as a giant umbrella, becoming a natural bonsai. This is the creation of nature! The cold wind blowing from the top of the mountain sweeps them away and they have to grow flat, this is the survival of the fittest! If it were not for coming all the way up the hillside, you would not have believed that these thick, short, deformed and twisted trees around you belong to the same kind as the tall trees in front of you, they are all fir. However, we would like to call the fir trees on the top of the mountain "Panlong pine".
Walking out of the hillside forest under the East Beam, we are in front of the top of the East Beam. The masterpiece of nature of "South Grass and North Wood" is perfectly presented. The top of the east beam is divided by a line, the south is a meadow, the north slope is a forest, and the meadow on the beam is open. The famous "Aunt Tree" is seen from afar, and together with the blue sky, it is more beautiful than a sculpture.
Everyone quickened their pace and strode away to the appointment.
I'm even more excited to fly. However, I still go to the hero tree like a phoenix, like a phoenix, like a peacock, and a leader with a cloak like a leader, and send my salute to this tree that has been waiting for Dongliang for thousands of years!
I came to the tree with respect, and today I saw that its human-like figure was not the trunk, but the top of the tree, and its thick body folded and staggered on the hillside, protecting it like a huge box, or becoming a solid "basin" to lift it, making it a great general who would never fall down and stand in front of him!
Every time I see this pine tree that makes the wind blow its branches like hair and completely fly behind me, my blood boils, as if I see it fighting in the storm to protect the territory of Dongliang!
Therefore, in the beauty of Dadongliang, there are these millennium waiting here, twisted like bonsai, like fossil-like fir "Panlong pine", the beauty is shocking, so beautiful that all the people who come are ecstatic. "Crazy" we danced in the cold around the "mother-in-law tree", and I was even more dizzy with joy, mistaking the west beam for the south beam.
Dongliang's Peugeot, the peculiarly shaped, solitary dead pine in the middle of the meadow is also the "aunt tree", in the past, because too many travelers stood on it to take pictures and overwhelmed and collapsed, it has long been no longer the original appearance, has become a pile of stumps. Whenever I see it like this, I feel a little lost. I always want to make a brand "Dongliang, the eternal prince" to show its identity. However, I have given up that desire as I write this passage today. It doesn't need to be draped anymore, and it doesn't need any symbols to prove it.
"Dongliang, the eternal prince" is forever, forever in our hearts who love Dongliang.
Today's Dongliang is so beautiful under the clear blue and clean sky that it can only be described as "shocking". Standing here, you will feel like you have arrived on another planet. This is the pole of the Qinling Mountains, with an altitude of nearly 3,000 meters, so that the surrounding mountains can be seen at a glance! I saw the magnificent rise of the golden West Beam, the heavenly road raised by the South Liang like a forest, the majestic atmosphere of the Grass Erliang, and the mountains and mountains that are as deep as Dai in the distance, etc., all of which are in full view, and the East Liang has become a gluttonous feast for the eyes!
The dumb meadow that leads to the west and south beams is even more beautiful today like a golden harbor, tempting us to rush down to this golden ocean. I ran faster than anyone else. Because I'm going to go to that "moon" tree and have another sweet dream. This is a dead tree that I like so much that I like when I see it from afar, and I don't know why other people are indifferent when they see it. And I, every year, is the same. Be sure to lie down in the cradle of the "Moon" tree, so that I and this only thousand-year-old dead tree in the dumb mouth, dreams come true and happy together!
However, this may be the last time I will lie down on the cradle of the "moon" tree. I had to take the advice of my companions and not break it. Alas, even if I am reluctant, I will never lie down anymore.
I thought it was from this dumb mouth to go down the mountain, but I didn't expect that when we were playing, everyone walked towards Nanliang. I haven't walked the forest farm road from Nanliang down the mountain to Erdaokou, and I am worried that the Huahua leader has gone wrong again. However, seeing that everyone was following, we had to chase after them worriedly. Anyway, we haven't been to Nanliang for a long time, so let's follow the big army.
Walking out of the forest, I saw the endless, wide and flat Da Nan Liang!
It was the first time I came up from this side of the South Liang, and in the past, I came up from the direction of the Fujia River and came out of the forest to the middle of the South Liang. Therefore, today I saw the complete South Beam, so long, so wide, so flat! The golden meadows are like the ripe and harvested crops on the plains, and the waves are magnificent and magnificent!
If you weren't there, you wouldn't have imagined that the top of the mountain would be a flat and wide flat meadow, which is really amazing at the magic of nature!
I haven't been to Nanliang for more than two years, and I feel very cordial and cherish to be able to come again. Standing on the golden south beam, if it weren't for the distant mountains below reminding me that this is above the mountains, I would feel as comfortable as walking on the lawn in the city.
At this moment, on the wide lawn under the blue sky, my companions and me, the quiet and empty Nanliang meadow flows with a comfortable and comfortable happy light. Walking through the meadow and looking at the side of the mountains made me feel more romantic and heroic. I like Nanliang very much, pacing on the beam, the soul is a companion, drunk and obsessed, sharing the endless happiness and sweetness like a dream. I love this long Nanliang deeply!
Therefore, when I walked to the end of the South Liang and looked back at the vast Nanliang, nostalgia came to my heart!
I will definitely come back to Nanliang. This time, because I was chasing my teammates, I was in a hurry, and I was not happy. The next time I come, I will come slowly and walk gently through this poetic meadow.
If Dongliang is my "lover", then Nanliang is my favorite. Or to be more precise, the South Beam, the West Beam, and the Grass Beam with the East Beam as the landmark form my favorite "lover"!
From the end of the south beam into the forest, after fifteen minutes to the left, we walked to the main road down from the dumb mouth, and the crossing was almost complete. In my opinion, this is the best route for the South Beam to cross the East Beam. Therefore, today's crossing is the most perfect crossing since the South Beam crossed the East Beam!
This time the Dongliang crossing, still like several times in the past, with a headlamp, out of the mountain in the dark, walked to the service area at eight o'clock in the evening, successfully completed this pleasant climbing, and it was also the last strong line crossing of the year.
