Chapter 0099 - Climbing the Mountain

Originally, Kang Mingsong and Yuan Bingyan had made an appointment to climb Qianhui Mountain together the next day, but when they set off at six o'clock in the morning, there was an extra light bulb between the two.

Yuan Tianchu heard that his sister was going to Qianhui Mountain with Kang Mingsong to play, and he also shouted that he wanted to go together. In desperation, I had to take this light bulb with me.

Kang Mingsong first drove to the restaurant of the eldest sister's house, and after returning the car to the eldest brother-in-law, he got on the Audi Q3 driven by Yuan Bingya's sister and brother and went to the mountain township.

When I returned to Kang Mingsong's house in the backing township, it was just past seven o'clock. After eating breakfast and making some preparations, the three of them quickly set off.

Because they will not go deep into the depths of Qianhui Mountain today, they will only go around the periphery of Qianhui Mountain, so Kang Mingsong and the others did not bring camping equipment, which can be regarded as a light car.

Kang Mingsong and the three of them packed some necessary equipment, food, and spices on their backs, and then brought a bow and crossbow and a shotgun, put on the camouflage uniforms they usually wear into the mountains, and set off.

The gun was borrowed by Kang Mingsong last night when his father went to a hunter's house in the village, but Kang Mingsong did not have it at home. In the past, almost every household in the mountain village had a hunting rifle, and even some families had standard weapons, but since the beginning of the new century, the local government's policy of surrendering guns has become more and more strict, and after more than ten years, except for a few hunters who still have hunting rifles in their homes, the rest of the families are gone.

As for the bow and crossbow, it is Yuan Tianchu's kid, it is said that he spent thousands of oceans to buy it, a carbon fiber synthetic crossbow, and it also comes with a scope, which is a powerful bow and crossbow that is listed in the ranks of controlled weapons.

In the early morning, Qianhui Mountain was misty and hazy, like a fairyland, and the three of Kang Mingsong went deep into Qianhui Mountain step by step accompanied by the crisp sound of birds.

Similar to the nearby mountains, Qianhui Mountain is full of various broad-leaved and coniferous mixed forests, and these areas are primeval forests that are untouched all year round.

Except for the ancient tea horse roads left by the horse gangs in the pre-Qing and Republican periods, and the trails opened by hunters and herb pickers, these primeval forests can no longer find other roads.

However, after Wang Weimin, the new secretary of Gushan Township, took office, he already had the idea of developing Qianhui Mountain. When Wang Weimin visited Kang Mingsong's house, he mentioned it to him. However, it is difficult to implement these ideas, and of course, the real problem is the lack of money.

Due to the abundant water distribution and suitable climate of Qianhui Mountain, all kinds of weeds, trees and vines grow very quickly, and the original road is often covered in a short period of time, and no trace can be found again.

Even the mountain people who were extremely familiar with Qianhui Mountain did not dare to go deep into the depths of Qianhui Mountain alone. Because in the last century, there was a case of foresters going into the mountains alone and disappearing.

So, even now in the 2010s, this mountain is still a mystery to most people.

Kang Mingsong didn't dare to go too deep, at most they were just hunting hares, pheasants and the like on the periphery of Qianhui Mountain, and they had a good time.

………………

In fact, what Kang Mingsong and they climbed today was not Qianhui Mountain, but Tianshi Ridge, the outer mountain of Qianhui Mountain, that is, the mountain behind Kang Mingsong's newly built villa.

As for why the plan was changed, it is because the road into Qianhui Mountain is now being hardened under construction, and vehicles cannot pass.

This is the second fire that Wang Weimin burned after he came to the backing township. It was he who ran the district traffic committee several times before finalizing the project.

If you walk to Qianhui Mountain, you need to walk more than ten kilometers of mountain roads to reach Qianhui Mountain Forest Farm, which is the real Qianhui Mountain.

Don't look at Tianshi Ridge is only the periphery of Qianhui Mountain, but the scale is not small, from the back of the market town to the group of mountain villages behind the old house of Kang Mingsong's family, before it was connected to the main body of Qianhui Mountain.

Qianhui Mountain is the remnant of the Wushan Mountain Range, which belongs to the Wuling Mountain Range from the geographical point of view.

Qianhui Mountain is one of the dividing mountains of the second and third echelons in China, there are more than 6 peaks with an altitude of more than 1,800 meters, and the highest peak, Sanwang Peak, is more than 1,900 meters above sea level.

The original ecosystem of Qianhui Mountain is very well preserved. In the northern, central and southern sections, there are approximately six major ecological mazes of primeval forests along the ridges, each with an area of about 5 square kilometers, and the largest is 7 to 8 square kilometers. The maze is not only full of complex terrain and dense hills, but also dense forests, and it is impossible to distinguish between the southeast and northwest when entering, and the forest ranger guide does not dare to guide it in.

The climate change in the mountains is abnormal, the vegetation is abundant, the forest water culvert and self-regulation ability is very strong, the forest area is flowing water continuously, the form is diverse, you can see it everywhere, it is called "the mountain of a hundred streams and a thousand waterfalls".

However, due to the inconvenience of transportation and the lack of development, this mysterious mountain range is still not familiar to the outside world, and for people, the famous mountain scenery such as Golden Buddha Mountain and Fairy Mountain is more worthy of attention.

………………

Kang Mingsong and his party left the village along the mountain trail opened by the herb pickers, and plunged headlong into the mist-covered jungle.

In May, Jiangyu City is already a furnace-like weather, but in the early morning of Qianhui Mountain, the temperature has dropped to about ten degrees, coupled with the invasion of mist, it really makes people experience the feeling of "fragrant mist clouds and wet temples, Qinghui jade arms are cold".

Kang Mingsong took the mountain knife to open the way, and vigorously chopped the vines, weeds, branches, etc. that appeared in front of him, which can be regarded as finding a way forward with difficulty.

As the periphery of Qianhui Mountain, the elevation of the foot of Tianshi Ridge is about 900 meters, combined with the latitude of this place, it has quite strong subtropical jungle characteristics, and all kinds of broad-leaved forests and epiphytic vines grow very fast, creating a paradise for animals and plants, but also bringing some trouble to the travel of Kang Mingsong.

Yuan Bingya and Yuan Tianchu sisters and brothers carried bows and crossbows and shotguns respectively, vigilantly observing the surrounding environment, guarding against the fierce beasts that suddenly appeared in the jungle, and their expressions were focused.

In recent years, due to the decrease in hunting, the number of fierce beasts in Qianhui Mountain has rebounded greatly. In places close to Qianhui Mountain, there are often traces of wild boars, clouded leopards and other fierce beasts.

Even, the grain crops planted by many farmers in the land on the Tianshi Ridge in the backing villages have not been trampled by these fierce beasts. The villagers had no choice but to give up the land on the Tianshi Ridge.

Fortunately, there are not many people left in the village today, and there is no land to cultivate.

Qianhui Mountain is rich in plant resources, Kang Mingsong and they found valuable medicinal materials including eucommia, Coptis chinensis, Codonopsis radix, etc., as well as rare tree species such as metasequoia and ginkgo.

It's just that this time they went into the mountains to hunt and relax, so they naturally didn't pay attention to these rare plants.
