Gu Yixiao was relieved to see me walk over.

He was sitting on the grass facing the tent area, and when he saw me approaching, he patted the ground next to him and said, "Sit down and rest for a while." ”

I sat down as I said, and the two of them returned to a state of silence.

The camp was quiet, the children were asleep, and the adults were resting in their tents and chatting outside, but the sound was very quiet.

In October in Beijing, the night has cooled down. We were in the mountains again, and the temperature was much lower, I estimate that it was only about ten degrees.

I wore a long-sleeved thick jacket and listened to the chirping of autumn insects endlessly. Gu Yixiao's warm voice came from his ears: "Being able to chat with you like this, I feel like a dream." ”

I tilted my head and glanced at his face. He didn't change much except that his hair became shorter.

He suddenly smiled back, and I couldn't dodge it, and my eyes flashed by his bright smile.

"I'm handsome again?" he asked.

I was caught off guard by his words, and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "You're still as narcissistic as before." ”

"I'm pretty good. He said.

I don't want to laugh in front of him, and I don't want to be amused by him, it's still this kind of heartfelt laughter. I felt embarrassed and didn't know what to do, so I had to turn my head to look at the silhouette of the mountain peaks in the distance.

"Laugh if you want to, don't suffocate yourself. Gu smiled and said.

I had to turn my head, look at him and smile, "Okay, I do can't help it." ”

He laughed out loud, and I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Shhhh He put his finger to his lips, and I immediately realized that this was not the time to laugh out loud, so I covered my mouth and stopped laughing with crooked eyes.

Gu Yixiao saw my appearance, his eyes were stunned for a moment, and then he held my wrist.

I felt my heart racing, and I quickly shook off his hand.

He didn't be stubborn anymore, but smiled a little awkwardly and said, "It's me who can't help it, I'm sorry." ”

I said it was okay, and then there was a light chat, talking about the weather, the intentions of the event organizers, the environment, and the stars tonight.

We talked for about half an hour, and then we went back to our tents to rest.

The next day, the children had to watch the sunrise from the top of the mountain, so they got up extra early. Getting up at a quarter past five, the group climbed the mountain for half an hour by the thin morning light, and when they reached the top of the mountain, the sun just burst out of the thick clouds, and the whole mountain top was dyed red, big red.

This sudden light is so shocking that people lose their minds, let alone children, even my eyes are a little wet when I see such a sunrise. It comes from the inner feeling of the body, the reverence for nature, and the gratitude for the Creator.

The whole sunrise process took about five or six minutes, but it took more than ten minutes for the children to come out of the shock of the sunrise, and they gathered together and pointed to the east to talk about their feelings.

Gu Yixiao quietly walked up to me and said, "I brought an umbrella." ”

"What are you doing with an umbrella?" I said.

"The morning glow doesn't go out, and the sunset travels thousands of miles. Looking at the colorful glow that covered most of the sky this morning, I'm afraid it's going to rain. Gu Yi said with a smile.

I looked at the weather forecast before I came, and the weather was sunny and cloudless for the past two days. However, the weather in the mountains has always been unpredictable, so it is left to fate.

Today's daytime activity intensity is a bit large, is to climb the mountain peak opposite the meadow, according to the information, the mountain road is built along the creek, until it is near the top of the mountain, there is a huge waterfall, from the small stone steps behind the face to go up, is the peak.

When we walked to the small stone road, I looked at Gu and smiled and said, "Your umbrella probably won't be useful now." ”

The road is very narrow, because the vegetation is too lush, and the road is lined with drooping trees, and the branches and leaves are full of leaves, and taller people will habitually meet each other.

Gu Yi smiled and spread his hands and said, "I'll ask." ”

After more than ten minutes, he came back from the head of the team and said to me: "The organizers have been prepared for a long time, and they have prepared raincoats. ”

That's when I put my heart back in my stomach.

In fact, when Gu Yixiao said that there might be rain today, I didn't want Doubao to participate in the climbing, but seeing that he was having a good time with the children, I couldn't bear to say what he wanted to go back.

The temperature here is lower than in the city, and you can already see the autumn leaves, and they are pure red. Occasionally, when you walk to a place where the vegetation is sparse, you can see that the mountain dyes on the opposite side are paved with colors in the early autumn of the deep mountains, and there are more than a dozen colors of red alone, and the mountains are more enthusiastic now than in spring.

The climb lasted two and a half hours, and I was so tired that I didn't want to say a word. It turns out that the physique that comes out of the gym can't withstand the baptism of nature.

I was panting so hard that I couldn't breathe.

On the way, everything on my body was taken over by Gu Yixiao. However, at this time, he was in good shape, but his face was slightly red, and he had no other symptoms of physical exhaustion, much stronger than me.

"If you're too tired and you're waiting here, you'll have to come back from this road anyway. Gu Yi looked at me worriedly and said.

"No, I can do it. I said.

Gu Yixiao smiled: "I can see the bean buns, and now I will reach the waterfall soon, there is not much way to go." ”

No matter what he said, I was determined to stick with it.

When they arrived at the waterfall, the children's excitement peaked and they screamed. Doubao even ran back and asked me to take a picture of him. I gave my phone to Gu Yixiao and asked him to help take a group photo of the two of us. After the shooting, Doubao said to me, "Mom, I want to take a picture with Uncle Gu." ”

I laughed and took a picture of them both.

Then, Gu Yi smiled and said, "Let's take a group photo, shall we?"

"Okay. Without waiting for me to answer, the bean bag answered first. I had no choice but to bite the bullet and let someone else shoot it for us.

After crossing the waterfall, I climbed for another half an hour, and finally reached the top.

We rested on the top of the hill and ate a simple lunch that we had brought on our own as a family. Then there is an hour of free time.

The kids were having fun and it was time to go back. The things that were laid on the ground were put away, and the sun was still hanging in the western sky, and the rain fell on the head and face.

Gu Yixiao rushed to get three raincoats, and after putting on the bean bag and me, he put it on himself.

Daily life is too testing, and for the use of bean bags, he is better than Si Jianlian.

"Let's go, go down faster. Gu Yi said with a smile.

We hurriedly walked to the front, but after walking for 40 minutes, the rain was not only not small, but also tended to become heavier. Now, the three of us are only a few steps apart, but we can't see each other clearly.

Gu Yixiao walked in front, he suddenly stopped, stretched out his hand to me and said, "It's raining too much, I'll pull you away, come over with bean bags." ”

Beanbag obediently ran to his right-hand side, and I stood on his left.

I didn't have a chance to refuse, my hand was grasped by his big hand, and I walked steadily forward. Later, I was especially grateful to Gu Yixiao for his domineering at this time, because something happened not long after walking forward.

We walked for another ten minutes, and suddenly we heard someone shouting in front of us: "Torrent!"

The rain was so loud that I didn't hear what the team in front of me was shouting, but Gu Yixiao stopped suddenly, he wiped the rain on his face and said, "There seems to be a flash flood ahead." ”

The word flash flood is particularly unfamiliar to people who live in the city all year round.

I didn't know what to do now, so I asked him in a daze, "What then?

"Go back. "We're in a col right now, and it's dangerous if a flash flood causes a big mudslide or a landslide." ”

Without a second of hesitation, he picked up the bean bag and ran towards the road, holding my hand tightly. I saw that he was having some difficulty holding the bean bag with one hand, so I shook off his hand and said, "I will keep up, you don't have to pull me." ”

At this time, I ran away from the clouds early, and I followed him to crawl forward, and heard more and more exclamations from behind.

The organizers have an abundance of wilderness camping operations, and the staff ran behind us and pulled out those who had been dripping into the muddy water. In the end, there were no casualties, but one parent was hit the leg by a falling rock.

The simple single rack that the staff brought with him immediately opened it and put the parent on it.

So far, no complaints have been spoken, and no one has questioned the organizers. These accidents are reminded in the notice that we chose to come here by ourselves. What's more, the peak period of flash floods is in summer, and it is already late autumn and early winter.

Gu Yixiao didn't raise his head, he walked forward in the rain with a bean bag, and from time to time he would stop to see if I was keeping up.

Finally, halfway through a safe and dry cave, the organizers took us inside and called for help by satellite phone.

The children were a little panicked, but the parents were actually very calm in this environment, and after comforting their children, they watched the sky and waited for the rain to stop.

I was a little surprised and asked Gu Yixiao: "Actually, it's not dangerous, we can't meet such a time in a few years, we are lucky to meet it." And these people, they still have this ability to change. ”

Because there are no complaints, no nonsense, the situation is calm and calm.

An hour later, news came from outside that the road was cut off due to a flash flood today. It is impossible for us to go down this road without stopping, and the choice now is to either stay here for the night, or brave the rain to climb over the top of the hill we climbed this morning and go down the other way. Someone will be there to pick us up.

Everyone gathered around and discussed it, and it was agreed that it was too dangerous to brave the rain to drive the mountain road, so the best decision was to stay here overnight.

The staff of the organizers went out a few people, and they had to brave the rain to go to the top of the mountain to meet the people who were picking up and get the supplies needed to camp in the cave tonight. When the dads found out what they were going to do, they volunteered to help.

I can also see that the materials needed by so many people will definitely not be able to be retrieved by these few staff members alone.

Gu Yixiao looked at me worriedly and said, "This cave is big and safe, you wait here, I'll get it too." ”

"It's too dangerous. My words blurted out.

He smiled, put his arm on my shoulder and said, "It's okay, they're all more professional, if we want to sleep better tonight, we have to work together." Mainly because there are children, otherwise our choice would definitely be to take a detour down the mountain in the rain. ”

After speaking, he squatted down again and said to Doubao: "Doubao, Uncle Gu went to the top of the mountain to get the tent moisture-proof mat we used tonight, food and use, so from now on, you have to take good care of your mother, okay?"

Doubao looked at him in disbelief and asked, "Can I?"

"You can, you're a little man. Gu smiled and said to him.

In fact, when I saw Doubao's somewhat frightened expression, I immediately felt distressed, and I didn't want Gu Yixiao to say these words. He gave me a look and finished his sentence, but Doubao was still hesitating, he didn't trust himself.

Gu Yixiao pointed to the nearest family and said, "Look, Uncle Zhou's little brother is eight months younger than you, doesn't he also take care of his mother? ”

Doubao saw that the little brother over there was indeed accompanying his mother, and his father had already walked to the entrance of the cave, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said in a firm tone: "I will, Uncle Gu rest assured." ”

Gu Yixiao once told me that he should have a manly education for Doubao, and don't teach him to be like a delicate little girl, but I can't do it.

Gu Yixiao took one last look at me and rushed into the rain with everyone.
