Chapter 7 Section 1 Alpine Meadows in the Snow

For two consecutive weeks, I climbed the mountain with the outdoor team in the area of Zhouzhi H County, all on shallow mountains. The previous week was a novelty for passing in front of a farmhouse in the mountains, but the next week it was a bit repetitive. Fortunately, the mountain road is very easy to walk when going up from the mountains of Liyu in H County, and all of them are wide mountain roads. At the time, I didn't understand how the dirt road up the mountain was so wide, but as we climbed higher and higher, we understood. The hillside here is full of tall and spacious farmhouse courtyards, like a mountain village, and former school buildings. Some of the houses were still inhabited, so I bought seven catties of walnuts from the old man in the first house on the mountain (carried down the mountain by two companions).

The reason why there are so many farms here is that this side of the hill is full of fertile loess layers, and each one is surrounded by large tracts of cultivated land, which is suitable for human survival. When we go up to the top of the mountain and look back condescendingly, the quaint houses scattered on the hillside are presented in the mountains like a picture of a mountain village, and the beauty of death like a paradise is presented. Therefore, we are also very pleasant to walk on such a mountain, and the laughter of the mountain is completely like walking in the mountain.

I just didn't expect the road down the mountain to be so difficult, always walking on steep slopes and in the gully, and there was almost no road. And because no one has passed for a long time, the forest on the shady slope is full of thorns, the thick dead leaves and the road is slippery, and the people are tired and tired when they walk with fear, and there is no scenery at all, and they have been walking in the rocky ditch.

I won't be coming to this place for the second time, and I decided that I must go to a high altitude mountain next week to climb, preferably an alpine meadow.

This week is really a wish, there is a route to the alpine meadow, and there are many outdoor teams organized to climb the mountain in the alpine meadow, and the outdoor team we participated in alone has two cars and more than 80 people. When we parked in the chicken coop, several parking lots were full, and it seemed that we were all here to see the snow today.

Recently, the temperature has been very low, and the heavy snow on Tuesday has not melted in the city, and the relatively cooler mountains are full of snow, and we have seen thick snow on Fengyukou Mountain, which has just entered the mountain. It's just that this heavy snow melted away after four days of wind, and there was no snow on the trees.

We walked on the thick snow from Dongpinggou up the mountain, and the team walked in the Linhai Snow Field, and the scene was very spectacular.

The snow in Dongpinggou is half a foot thick, and we are excited when there is snow, and we are happy all the way. Today's weather is sunny and the sun is dazzlingly bright. I thought that the meadow was open and the sun was heavy, and it might be the snow as in the past. However, when we rushed out of the arrow bamboo forest, we saw the vast meadow covered with snow, shining in the sun, like a sea of snow!

At this time, the meadow was full of excited climbers, some of them were playing with snow poles, some were posing, some were jumping, and some were raising the stove for a picnic, and the meadow was full of joy! We eagerly joined in the joy, put down our backpacks and threw ourselves down in the white snow, and enjoyed the carnival.

The snow on the meadow is not as soft as sugar. Like this tall tree, it is very thick and hard, textured, and bonely, and when you walk up, you can click and lift a large piece like ice. Therefore, when many people are playing snow poles, several people lift their snowboards and throw them at each other, and when they fall, a pool of snowflakes splashes up, like a stone hitting into the water, and the waves bloom.

I didn't join the pole camp because I had more important things to do, and that was to walk to the biggest tree in the meadow where the beauty of the snow robe had become a miracle. For me, when I come to the meadow, it's the owner I want to say hello to, and it's what I think about the most. Today, the only big tree on the dumb mouth stands vigorously on the snow, and its heroic hair points to the blue sky. It is still undressed today, perhaps before we arrived. Perhaps it is precisely because I witnessed it become a snow tree only once that I cherish the rarity and magic of that moment even more, and I love this fabulous tree even more. In my heart, it is not afraid of the wind and cold, always vigorous in the wind, the branches towards the sky, giving people an upward momentum, whenever I see it, I am excited, feel the power to urge people upward!

At this moment, as I have done every time I have come in the past, I have to perform in front of the tree to thank it for its love to me. Today, in addition to the constant jump, I also want to dedicate the white snowflakes to it, I hold the large ball of snow again and again, and then excitedly raise it to the canopy, like a goddess scattering flowers, to dedicate the holy flowers to this magical tree.

After that, my partner and I started our game. The two of us climbed on the snow, laughing happily, rolling big snowballs, and then holding up large balls of snow, hitting others, and being beaten by others. At this time, the snow in front of the small tree becomes a sea of joy. Many people reveled in the thickest and whitest sea of snow on the meadow, and every face was joyful. So much so that some people happily stood on the trees and posed for pictures. I didn't like it, and I shouted to them: "The little tree is crying!"

In fact, every time I come, I will see someone standing on it, and there are all kinds of people among the climbers. Besides, there are more than 200 people on the meadow today!

The meadow is sunny and sunny, and it is rare to be ambiguous, and everyone is reluctant to go, and so are we. However, no matter how nostalgic it is, it still has to go. We have to go through the arrow bamboo forest and go down the mountain from Dongfogou.

The bamboo forests on the hillsides around the meadow are yellow, a ripe look, clean and golden. Looking up at the meadow like a yellow waterfall, the top of the beam looks down like a golden ocean. It's also the most beautiful season on the meadows, just as beautiful as the green meadows in spring. I love the green and smoky meadows, and I love the magnificence of the golden wheat waves!

Now Qinling is a thin forest full of branches and leaves, only in the alpine meadow there is no severe winter bleakness, the dense arrow bamboo forest and meadow that do not lose leaves in all seasons are all yellow robes, in the white snow against the background, the meadow is beautiful! It is precisely because the meadow in the harsh winter is beautiful that a large number of mountain climbers are not afraid of the cold to share the infinite scenery of the meadow in winter!

I come here season after season to see the most beautiful alpine meadow in my heart!

So, as soon as I came down the mountain, I was looking forward to coming back this winter......
