243 Shocked
Elena looked in the direction of Zeng Gong's finger and couldn't help but gasp, although the mountain peaks in front of her seemed not far away, but the road between them made people question whether they could successfully cross with the excellent performance of the F150.
Driving the F150 is like driving on Mars, the red soil is scattered with dense gravel of large and small sizes, the large number of craters of rock almost block the road ahead, and the zigzag section of the sheep intestine path is not particularly obvious, Lady Mary once came here to collect specimens, and the iron content here is seriously exceeded, and the iron oxide paints the place with a magnificent red, but it is not suitable for the growth of plants.
"Zeng, are you sure we can get over?" asked Elena, uneasy.
The red clay raised from time to time by the howling cold wind made Elena give up the idea of hiking.
"It's okay, I've been here many times. Zeng Gong's driver F150 said confidently, he is very familiar with the roads here, since he found here, Zeng Gong often comes back here to get water, as the water source for him to make old pills, it can be used as a medicine guide, hooking up all kinds of medicinal materials is very important.
Zeng Gong said easily or reduced the speed, the tortuous and complex road conditions even if the power is strong such as F150 is also a great test, the red sand flying everywhere, in addition to the fluttering feeling, the surrounding large and small craters make Zeng Gong feel like driving on the moon.
It is figuratively called the 'moon print', which means the trace of the moon.
The magical lunar landform has brought to the pasture a vast barrenness that is completely different from the life, and there are more primitive traces of ancient wilderness, and in the words of Lady Mary, the geographical structure here is of great value for the study of the ancient geological changes of the earth. But Zeng Gong scoffed at these.
The huge folds of volcanic rock are like the waves of the sea, and the craters formed by the eruptions of large and small volcanoes are craters left behind by meteorites on the moon. The small ones are only the size of the bowl mouth, and the large ones can reach half a kilometer in diameter. Over the years, it has been filled with water, and the clear and clean water of the lake is comparable to that of Lake Flathead, where Zeng Gong is now driving, paved with red volcanic ash and volcanic sand, miraculously forming a winding path leading to their destination behind the mountain.
F150 drove through about 20 acres of 'moon print', and the grass and trees suddenly sparsely drilled out, although it was not very prosperous, there was also a feeling of sudden enlightenment, extending to the foot of the mountain ahead. You can smell the faint smell of sulfur coming from the 'C' shaped road that surrounds the mountain peaks.
"Is this here?" Elena felt particularly disappointed, in her impression, everything in Qinglian Ranch was thriving, making people look full of life, but this place was extremely barren, and the expectations for the hot spring in Zeng Gong's mouth dropped suddenly.
Zeng Gong didn't speak, the corners of his mouth were smiling, and he shook his head gently, why didn't he have such a heart when he came here?
The pickup truck slowly drove through the 'C' curve, and a splash of green jumped into view abruptly. Douglasson, who was almost about to hug the two of them, seemed to be a guardian guarding the valley in front of him, and the smoke and mist were bright, and he felt a heat wave coming from the car. The plants in the valley are also changing, almost approaching the tropics.
Sweetgum, laurel, chestnut, and superba begin to appear on hillsides or streams, and the lush greenery is very different from the desolate, cold environment of the outside world. The hanging spring splashes, and the vast and miaomiao. Eye waves, green trees and red flowers. It is full of fun, and the source of living water is tinkling.
“mygod。 Elena clutched her mouth tightly, her blue eyes almost overflowing, and she felt like she was almost suffocating.
"Is this true?" asked Elena, clutching Zeng Gong's arm uncertainly, in a disastrous manner.
"What do you think?" Seeing that the pickup truck was no longer allowed to drive in front of him, he simply stopped the car and asked half-jokingly.
"I, I," replied Elena incoherently, thinking that this was a dream, but her eyes were fixed on the beauty before her without blinking, lest she suddenly wake up from her sleep and become a tiresome desert, though a little different.
"Elena, don't be nervous, everything you see is true, if you don't go to the hot springs, I'll go alone. Zeng Gong patted Elena's soft pancreas and comforted him softly.
"Who said I wouldn't go. Elena rolled her eyes at Zeng Gong, disgusted that he didn't understand the amorous feelings, although this place is beautiful, after experiencing the many beautiful scenery of Qinglian Ranch, it is not good, and she has long had immunity.
Got out of the car with Zeng Gong, and followed behind with a swimsuit and the like Elena along the sheep intestine path to continue deeper, Luo socks light dust, Ling Bo micro steps, trail vanilla, smoke and cui, the stone upper stream of the clear spring, the middle is enchanting, in the mountains surrounded by a soup bath, it is like a dirty spring, bubbling water, smoke and waves.
"Yes, it's so beautiful here. A hint of fascination flashed in Elena's beautiful eyes, the clear spring and stone stream, the shade of the trees loved water, and people fell in love with this place at once.
"Hehe, there's a better one here. Zeng Gong chuckled, walked a few steps, grabbed an old vine hanging down from the middle of the mountain, lightly stretched his ape arms, and climbed towards the waist of the mountain.
"Be careful, Zeng. Elena watched nervously as Zeng Gong ran between the cliffs, and her heart couldn't help but beat faster, worried about him.
"Elena, it's all right, I'll come down right away. Hearing Elena's exclamation, Zeng Gong couldn't help but be arrogant, grabbed the vine with one hand, and shouted loudly.
Immediately, Zeng Gong sank into the lush woods, waved his hand and pulled out the machete at his waist, cutting off the lush branches and leaves blocking in front of him, opening up a temporary road.
Originally, because of the special environment of Tanggu to create a special geography here, occasionally there will be some peculiar plants, just in the middle of the mountainside there are a few grape vines, Zeng Gong found by chance, each one is as crystal full as a pink pearl, the taste is even more refreshing, the aftermath is lingering, the aftertaste is endless. Because the environment here is relatively stable, the fertile volcanic ash has created a unique soil, which can be harvested about two or three times a year.
Not only grapes, there are delicious cherries, pears, firethorn, blueberries, cranberries, etc., soaking in the hot springs to enjoy the wine and food, this is a great enjoyment of life, the beauty is on the side, how could Zeng Gong miss it, although the preparation is quite sufficient when he comes, there are these mountain delicacies can be icing on the cake
"Elena, you" Zeng Gong, who had finished collecting the fruit, climbed down the mountain with joy and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Elena. (To be continued.) )
