Section 2 Alpine meadows are beautiful and frozen
Through the seasons
The three-day holiday of May Day was originally a three-day south-south crossing to Taibai Mountain. This is a long-awaited activity and the most important goal of this year's mountain climbing. It was implemented three weeks ago.
However, this is how I made a well-prepared crossing, and on the third day after I signed up, I suddenly felt very bad. And it doesn't feel like it's a flash, always worrying about extreme weather. After consulting with the family, the family did not object. Just say: you bring all the possessions in the family, and you can climb as much as you like. One year and a half, ten years or eight years, go for it.
Hehe, not ordinary generosity!
Even if my family didn't object, I wouldn't go. In recent days, I have been wearing a padded jacket and a thin skirt, and the weather is too extreme. I'm not afraid of the heat, I'm too afraid of the cold. So, on the fourth day, he asked to quit. The team leader dissuaded him and said: There are still more than two weeks to go, we are waiting for you, a rare opportunity, let's go together.
I also know that this time to give up, maybe to give up forever Taibai crossing. Fortunately, this time I gave up completely! In the end, I didn't go, and I didn't feel any regrets!
Seven days of work this week, a bit long. Finally, when it was time for the holidays, I could climb the mountain. Alpine meadows haven't been to for a long time. The former favorite, after a long time of separation, I have been concerned. I decided to go to the alpine meadow! When I went to the meadow, I remembered the promise to send tomatoes to the master of the temple.
Before setting off in the morning, I went online and saw Wenru on the Internet, and my heart suddenly became hot. So I decided to make an appointment to go hiking together. As a result, the talented girl is going to 'sit at home' as a writer today. Hehe.
Today's weather forecast is rain, and when I went downstairs, I found that there were sparse raindrops. There was no hesitation, and I planned to go wherever I wanted. I really want to climb the mountain.
All the way to Dongfogou, the rain was a little heavy. After the four of them discussed, they decided to take a walk, and the road to the small temple was very easy to walk, and it was not high.
Soon arrived at the temple. The master came out, but he still didn't know me. She took out the tomatoes and gave them to the master, she went back to the house and took out some small persimmons and said, "You can eat them on the road." I still have a lot more.
"I'm bringing you a soup for big tomatoes. I promised to give you hand oil last time, but I never came. At this time, a funny scene appeared again, hehe.
The master said, "You didn't give me hand oil." It was a chubby, big-eyed girl. Not you. ”
"Am I thin?" I asked happily. As he spoke, he tied up his hair again.
The master looked at me with an expression like he was trying to compare with me last time, as if I was a fame and reputation fisherman!
"I'm cold and my clothes are wet. I laughed. I was happy not because the master recognized me, but because I had lost weight.
"You wait, I'll find you a dress to wear. ”
I grabbed the master and quickly changed the subject: "I met a group of monks on the road, and brought you oil, noodles, and vegetables, and they will be there in a while." ”
The master was old, and he didn't react, so he told me about offering to the monks. Let me offer the tomatoes on the Buddha table and say that I will give them to the monks for a while. As he spoke, the group had arrived. The master began to lose his temper: I don't want your things,
Take it all back, take it, take it away. I can't finish eating and letting it go, you are making me guilty......
The group of people looked embarrassed. I took advantage of the situation and stepped aside to replenish my energy.
While eating, tell one of them that the master is doing this to prevent you from giving her any more dishes, and that you will keep these dishes.
The listener let out a sigh of relief.
I say this because I saw an article about a master in a magazine published by the Pure Industry Temple. said that too many people brought her food, and it was wasted because she couldn't finish eating. So I made a wish never to eat vegetables again. Just now, I used a tantrum to make those who delivered the food not think about sending it anymore.
Keep climbing!
We braved the rain to go a little further. When they reached the heights, all the other people who had gone up the hill returned. The four of us were not willing to return like this, and decided to cross and descend the mountain. I was the only one in a raincoat out of four, but today I was wearing a summer hiking suit, and my pants were wet to my knees.
When the mind is decided, everyone moves up quickly. None of the three of them had ever been here, and at this time they buried themselves in the mountains, and their only thought was to rush to the top. They were walking so fast that I was panting so hard. So he stopped and adjusted his breath.
Ouch! The azalea is blooming! The pink and white flowers are blooming on the branches, and the azaleas in the rain are so beautiful!
"Look at the azaleas! We've seen the azaleas!" I hurried to greet my companions.
A similar scene has been repeated. As I had done the first time, they looked down and looked around: No, where?
I smiled and pointed it out to them.
"Ah, such a big tree! I should have planted it at home. It's so beautiful. "The guys were pleasantly surprised!
yes! I was pleasantly surprised, as it used to be in the second week of May.
In the mist of smoke and rain in front of us, this rhododendron tree is a smiling face, which is clearly blooming for us who came in the rain! We must be the first climbers to see azaleas this year.
There will be more on the meadow. I urged my companions to leave.
The more you live and climb, the faster you dial up. We all crawled out of breath and sweated profusely. The surrounding crystal ice hangs in the fog, and the rhododendrons along the way shine. Such a spring beauty may only be seen in the deep mountains of the high sea. For a while, he smiled and laughed happily. Completely ignoring the fact that his pants were already half wet, he was completely elated. We didn't realize what the ice and snow meant to us.
It started to snow further up. My companion was happy again: It's a great day to come! It's almost May, and you can still see snow!
I'm glad too. I remembered that two years ago, when I came here during the May Day holiday, it snowed heavily as soon as I entered the mountain. At that time, when we saw snowflakes flying in the sky as big as goose feathers, Mo Han and I, an international student, were overjoyed. It's just that I didn't see the cuckoo that time. Later, I heard that a cuckoo had bloomed along the way. The reason why I couldn't see it was because I thought the azaleas were seen with my head down.
The snow stopped halfway up the mountain that day, and today it started halfway up the mountain. It's so interesting, it's like time is seamlessly connected. The same mountain, the same snow, the same mountain, I can't tell for a while, what is the difference after two years. Time has also passed.
It may be that the temperature is too low, and I didn't climb much to see the arrow bamboo forest. When my companion asked me if I was going to the top, I thought it wouldn't be so fast.
In fact, it is so fast! The wind that roars in the cold air tells us that we are about to reach the top!
The three companions looked at the arrow bamboo forest and shouted excitedly: It's spectacular!
The surrounding area is full of white fog, and the visibility is very poor, and you can't see anything except the arrow and bamboo forest in front of you. I can understand their feelings. I was the same when I first came.
Although the canopy of the trees on the top of the mountain is covered with snow, it is difficult to hide the flowers and branches. There was a rhododendron hanging on the top full of magenta buds, all of them grinning, but none of them opened, and it was about to come out, and I felt that the buds were going to bathe in the snowflakes, and then the pure flowers bloomed into a tree.
I tried my best to walk over, wanting to leave the rare beauty of the azaleas in the snow. However, I will not be able to make it over. Because the bamboo forest is full of ice hanging, it seems to have become a fence for a delicate girl. Yes, the flowers bloom and fall, and the flowers in the mountains bloom for their companions. Let's just share it.
The surrounding golden arrow bamboo forest, after wearing the ice armor, looks majestic. It seems to say, the weather is so cold, what are you doing here? At the same time, I feel that the arrow bamboo forest is a stingy boy. Not only did it prevent me from getting close to their companions, it also blocked our path.
Because the temperature at the top of the mountain was below freezing, we were all wearing single clothes, and our pants were wet when it rained in the early stage. When I got here, it was as cold as if I had entered the refrigerator. To descend from the meadow, one must pass through a large area of arrow bamboo forest in front of you.
At this time, the bamboo forest has become a 'golden wall and silver wall', and only by rushing through it can you pass. The one who walked in front was the hardest, and in a short time the clothes of the two companions in front were soaked. I was wearing a raincoat, so I made sure that my shirt was not wet and my pants were all wet. The cold after the gloves were wet made me think that my fingers were going to freeze, and I only felt the flesh on my fingers constantly cracking and expanding. The right hand felt slightly better than the left hand because of the exertion of holding the trekking poles, and the left hand was completely unconscious.
The companion who walked in front was already numb from the cold. Because the two of them broke the ice all the way and became icemen. When they looked back at me in a small clearing, their soaked outdoor clothes were sparkling and weird, but I couldn't laugh. Their eerie expressions are caused by the extreme cold. I think the expression of surprise and laughter must be abnormal, because I am also cold.
Finally rushed out of the arrow bamboo forest. Facing the white meadow, Yingyue's companions excitedly knelt on the snow and raised their arms and shouted: We are warriors!
The barefoot girl played Xiao Luo's companion, but his body was so cold that he couldn't stretch his body.
Both of them are people who love nature and are very high-quality people. A fellow traveler once told me, "There is water on the grass that has rained, and everyone does not want to walk in the front......
Seeing my companions kneeling on the meadow, I struggled to pull out my camera and give them an unforgettable scene.
There were just four of us on the white meadow. The extremely cold weather made me realize that warriors are not good at it. At the same time, I am glad that I was right to give up and go to Taibai. It's so cold here today, so you can imagine how cold it is for Taibai, which is nearly two thousand meters higher than the sea here.
It was also at this time that my body didn't feel cold, but only felt a little nauseous, which was a condition I had never encountered before.
Can't stay any longer, quickly descend from Dongpinggou.
The warm breeze in the car didn't make me feel ambiguous. The wet clothes were still very uncomfortable on the body, and at the same time I was very hungry. Ate all the stuff in the bag, biscuits, chocolate, raisins. It's weird to be hungry after eating. I had dinner in the morning, but it's only three o'clock. After climbing the mountain for so many years, I have never eaten all the food in my bag.
The strangeness continued, and when I got home, I was still hungry and couldn't stop eating. Obviously I was full, but after a while, I wanted to eat again. Hungry and eating. It wasn't until half past nine that I relieved my desire to eat again after eating a big bowl of oxtail soup, and at the same time, I didn't feel cold in my heart.
At first, I didn't stop eating without much thought. When I was still hungry no matter how much I ate, I thought: Is there something wrong with it? Why do you keep eating?
Just think about it and you understand. Our ancestors were so talented that the man who coined the phrase 'hunger and cold' must not have meant what he meant in the dictionary today. There must also be something I realized today, that is, in times of extreme cold, the physical response of hunger and cold is directly proportional.
Of course, I also jokingly thought about whether the master saw that I was thin, so he cast a spell to make me fat. That master is boundless!
I've never been so hungry or cold when I've grown so big. Of course, in such a season, I have never seen ice hanging branches and snow cuckoos.
This is the fun of mountain climbing, different excitement, different enjoyment. It's the season when the rhododendrons are in full bloom in the Qinling Mountains.
Wait for me, I'll come!
