Section 7 The favorite is still Dongliang
This time I decided to go to Dongliang to climb the mountain in a bit of a hurry, and when I was looking for a route on the Internet on Friday, Dongliang suddenly flashed in my mind. I was excited when I thought about it, and I was sure that this was it. Now this season, there is only snow on the high-altitude mountains, and the snow was very thick in the alpine meadows last week, so there must be snow in the higher Dongliang. Besides, in the past, the first month of each year was also necessary to go to Dongliang. I didn't think about going before this because I had just been there a few years ago.
When I signed up, I saw that it was full, and I sent a message to ask that I could report. At that time, I wondered if the numbers displayed in their group were reference news. However, as soon as I signed up, I received a message from a fellow traveler I met on Fengyu Mountain last year (I was back in their car. After adding WeChat, there was no contact, and at the end of the year, when the circle of friends was cleaned up, he was invited out. Unexpectedly, in less than a week, he applied to add friends again. Oh, I'm sorry. After deciding to keep him, it doesn't matter if there is interaction or not. He said, "I saw that you also reported Dongliang in the group, and the weather was bad, so I retreated." "Actually, I saw him too, but I was just embarrassed to ask him. Then, he sent the weather forecast for the Dongliang area. repeatedly said, "The weather is bad and there is no scenery, and people are still very guilty, so it is better not to go." I said, "Since it's cloudy on Saturday, it's likely to be snowing in Dongliang." Luckily, I can still see the fog. He said, "Go ahead and be safe."
Ever since I added him on WeChat, I've found out that he's the most fanatical climber I've ever known. I feel like he crosses the Taibai Mountain every month, just like I go to the land beam. I was surprised that I could be stopped by the weather in Dongliang this time.
At nine o'clock in the morning, I felt that the temperature was very low after getting off the bus at Qinling No. 1 service area. The weather was cloudy with a drizzle and possibly a thick fog. There was no snow on the way up the mountain at the beginning, and there was no snow on the mountain. When I walked near the shack, I saw a thin layer of snow on the hillside. At this time, it began to snow lightly in the sky, and it stopped and went. The further you go, the thicker the snow on the mountain. When I walked the forest farm road to the fork, I saw that the snow was more than half a meter thick when I turned left and turned to the south beam and the east beam in the direction of dumb mouth. I was going down the mountain in the afternoon, and I was thinking about how to get out, but I couldn't see the way at all.
We turned into the direction of Dongliang. When I started to climb the mountain, I obviously felt that I couldn't walk, on the one hand, the road in the mountain forest was muddy and slippery at first, and the snow was very thick and slippery after a while. So, I slowed down my cadence, walked at the back of the group, and formed a companionship with my teammates who were also unable to walk on the forest road.
I'm tired and don't want to go fast. And I am controlling the time, and I will definitely be able to complete the crossing according to the leader's arrangement, so I have been walking according to my section. He really couldn't walk, and when I walked briskly down the mountain, he was just following him and on.
When you reach the Stone Sea, the forest looks like a different world from when you first go up the mountain. It is a land of ice and snow, covered in silver, and the mountains and forests are white. The mountains are covered with snow, and the trees and all the vegetation are dressed in fluffy snow robes, and it becomes a fluffy and clean white land, which is beautiful and charming.
It was the first time for my companion to come, and it was the first time to see the world of ice and snow fairy tales, so I was full of excitement and stopped moving. I've been climbing mountains for eight years, and similar snow scenes are common, but now I can't move. It's so beautiful, it's all made of snow, and it's a world of white snowflakes. This is God in the bitter cold to put on the most beautiful new clothes for all things on the mountain, holy, gorgeous!
I love this fresh and holy world!
Walking to the side of Shi Hai, Shi Hai who could be seen from a distance on the forest road when the weather came in the past, only to see vaguely when I walked to it today, Shi Hai also slept under the thick snow quilt.
Up here, the snow is thicker and the slopes are steeper. It made me panic. Looking at my teammates who surpassed me one by one, I wondered for the first time if I couldn't get on Dongliang. But I think the time is the same as in the past, this is the team is going too fast. In the words of my companion, "When I started walking, I tied my shoelaces once, and I could no longer catch up with the troops in front of me." "Today the team is really like this, there are most of the teammates, we only met in the car, and we never met again in the day of climbing.
At half past twelve o'clock in the afternoon, according to the expected time, I arrived at Cao Erliang. On the empty beam, the sky is vast, the grass is vast, and the sky and the earth are the same color. The meadow is a white world, with poor visibility and only a moment of mountain dew. The wind is small, but it is very cold.
When my companion and I went to the arrow bamboo forest to have lunch, we saw that our teammates behind us were catching up one by one, and we continued to move forward without resting. My companion said that today's teammates were strange, they didn't take pictures, they didn't eat, they just walked.
In this case, we ate this meal very quickly, and we fought quickly to catch up. The snow on the last slope of the hill leading from the second beam of the grass to the east beam was nearly a meter deep. Walking into the forest, I saw the primeval forest of towering trees, all snow-white, the trunk and crown were all wrapped in thick snow, the whole body was white, and the surrounding was the thickest white, which became the source of snow in the forest sea, which was extraordinarily enchanting, and the beauty became a fairy tale world. Walking through it, we are the legendary dwarfs in the fairy tale world, the only visitors in the forest. The fairy tale world is so beautiful, so beautiful that I don't want to walk and can't walk. Therefore, this section of the mileage, which used to take more than an hour, walked for two hours today to break out of the forest.
Arriving at the top of the East Beam, it means that the uphill climbing section is all completed today, and the rest is all downhill. Maybe that's why, after rushing out of the forest, I was like a different person, full of energy, and I felt like I had reached the top of the beam all of a sudden. Relaxed, really relaxed. I galloped to the tree on the east beam, like a phoenix, like a peacock, and like a big hero with a cape.
Wow, it's so bright! I saw a white tree, and today it really became a snow phoenix and a snow peacock. The white snow robe is the most realistic feather. It really made us gather in front of the trees and sigh at the magic and magic of nature. In such a form, it is the wind of Dongliang, the snow of Dongliang has been falling, layer by layer attached to the trees, the wind is like a carving knife, carving out the texture of feathers, so that this green peacock in summer is now a vivid white phoenix. It looks like it is holding its head high in the east beam, and it has become the most beautiful snow tree on the east beam today.
I stood excitedly in front of its head, raised my hand to salute it, and saluted the great heroes who have been waiting here for many years!
Then I walked to the top of the beam and came to the Peugeot dead tree in the east beam. The first time I came to Dongliang was eight years ago, and at that time the tree was a real tree and it was spectacular. On the east beam of the "South Grass and North Wood", it is the only one standing alone on this side of the long grass, which is so eye-catching. In the middle of the beam, the thick roots of the trees are intertwined, and the thick trunks of the trees, which are only more than a meter high, look majestic and majestic. The two arm-thick branches on top were twisted and stretched out. Because it is withered and dried, the skinless branches are smooth and delicate, and they are grayish. Like an old man who has been waiting here for thousands of years, standing in the wind, the forest not far from the opposite side is its descendant. Yes, my speculation must be. Because it is the thickest, it is also the first to grow old, and it is more like the sentinel of the Eastern Liang, or why it is the only one that stands alone in the center of the Dongliang meadow and leaves the forest, which violates the natural phenomenon of "grass in the south and wood in the north". Yes, my speculation must be. Therefore, after it withered, it became the Peugeot of Dongliang, just like the house number.
At that time, many people stood on the top of the tree and shouted to take pictures. I didn't go up, I didn't even go to take a picture with it. The first is that I despise their behavior and stand cruelly on the "head of the old man", and the second is that I am afraid of this old dead tree.
Later, I came to Dongliang Yuan many times to return, and I was afraid, but I always had it. I went to the United States in the second half of 2013, and when I came to Dongliang again on May Day in 2014, I saw that the tree had completely collapsed. The dead branches and messy roots that had been broken off by the people were left on the stump of the tree, and they became a pile of dead branches. It makes me sad to see it.
Later, there was the South Beam crossing the East Beam. At the dumb mouth of the south beam and the east beam, there is a dead tree, shaped like an upside-down L. The male companion at that time ran over and lay down on it, and it was really beautiful like that. I was also helped up by them, and I lay down and looked at the sky, and it was so beautiful, it was like a cradle, so beautiful that I lay on it and laughed.
Since then, I have fallen in love with this dead tree, and when I come back, I can't wait to lie down in my exclusive cradle happily. "Exclusive" is that I have seen that for so many years, it is rare to see other travelers come to this dead tree, and no one has taken pictures with it. It seems unremarkable, and it's not endearing. I'm the only one who has a soft spot.
Therefore, in the snow-white fog of Dongliang today, I can't see any scenery in the distance, so I flew to the dumb mouth. Sure enough, there was not a single footprint next to the dead tree, and three meters away from it was the snow trail that everyone stepped out to descend the mountain.
If others don't like it, it's better if I like it. I hurriedly lay down in my cradle and began to have the most beautiful dreams, smiling happily on the cradle, it felt like I came to Dongliang to lie down here. I asked my companion to take a picture of me quickly, worried that the traveler who came behind me would see it. However, my little friend said, "It's so beautiful, I'm going to lie down and take a picture." "I disagreed, saying he was too heavy, and he said just once. I had to let him lie down gently. When you hear the voice of a teammate coming from behind, quickly flee the tree and pretend to be looking elsewhere.
That's when a miracle happened. The sky was so thick that it was impossible to dissolve from the beginning of the mountain, and suddenly the clouds opened and saw the sun. The sun flashed out too quickly, the light was too strong, and it reflected strongly on the snow and the snow forest, and the silver light flickered, and in an instant the dumb mouth became a huge concave lens. The temperature on the dumb mouth rises sharply, it is very hot, it is very dazzling.
At this moment, the world around us became clear, and the mountains shone brightly! It all came so fast that we were stunned. Wu teammates exclaimed: It's so beautiful!
However, it all comes and goes faster. When we all thought it was clear, the sun flashed away again, and in an instant there was a thick white fog, and nothing could be seen, as if the scene just now was unreal.
And this is also the only sunny two minutes in the day when we crossed the East Beam. What a miracle. Isn't it because I like this humble dead tree, but because it has become a sacred tree, which means that it also likes me? Or is it God's reward for me, yes, it must be, it's both, it's better. Ha ha......
Actually, this is the second time I have encountered a similar dreamlike scene in Dongliang. At the end of two years ago, it was a heavy snow from the south beam to cross, cloudy and foggy, when we walked to the top of the east beam, suddenly pulled out the clouds to see the sun, the sun quickly crossed in the clouds, and suddenly the beam was bright and dark, the beauty was shocking, so that everyone on the beam was overwhelmed with excitement, one of the elders said, "God is moved by our persistence, such a big snow is coming, reward us." ”
The aftermath is still there, and the scene is reappearing. The previous time was the interplay of light and shadow in the cooperation of the sun and the clouds, which brought us to stage a sci-fi blockbuster together. This time it was the sun that shone out, casting a handful of golden light. Reward us for bathing in golden light! At this moment, from a good mood to a better mood, go down the mountain!
This road is the shady side of the forest, and the snow is more than half a meter deep all the way, and we quickly walked out of the forest all the way, and it took us an hour and a half to reach the fork in the road. At 6:20 a.m. we went down to the service area. That is, the ascent is six hours, and the descent is three and a half hours.
Perfect crossing. Goodbye, my favorite Dongliang!2017-3-11
