Chapter 365: A Difficult Road to the Mountain
Chapter 365: The Difficult Road to the Mountain
………… After eating at noon, Liu Dong also took the opportunity to memorize all the maps of the entire Songzi City in his mind.
"The boss settles accounts!" After dinner, Liu Dong wiped his mouth and said.
"Finished eating?"
Hearing Liu Dong's words, the proprietress who was sitting at the counter next to her hurriedly walked over with Liu Dong's bill, and after seeing more than a dozen empty white plates in front of her, the proprietress couldn't help but show a hint of surprise in her eyes. Obviously, Liu Dong has labeled her as a foodie in her heart.
Of course, when eating out, Liu Dong has long been used to being looked at like this. Who told him to eat a lot!
"It's fifty-two dollars!"
To Liu Dong's surprise, almost all of the dishes he ordered were meat dishes, and the money he spent was less than 100 yuan, which was at least half cheaper than similar meals in Quancheng. But thinking that this is a county in the inland lake-north province, Liu Dong doesn't feel strange.
"Boss, I'll ask you something!" Liu Dong took out the banknote from his pocket, and then asked after finding fifty-two yuan for the proprietress to give it.
"You ask, as long as it's in this Songzi City, there's nothing I don't know!"
In the face of the proprietress patting her chest, Liu Dong tacitly did not take it seriously, a county with a population of nearly one million, if you know everything big and small, then you are not a human being, that is something that only God can do.
"Boss, do you know this place of Guan Jiachong?"
Hearing Liu Dong's words, the proprietress was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Guan Jiachong? The little brother is talking about Guan Jiachong in Baishi Town, right? ”
"White Rock Town?" The words of the proprietress stopped Liu Dong.
According to the notes left by Uncle Li at the beginning, there is only the place name of Guanjiachong in Songzi City. I didn't write whether it was White Rock Town or not.
"The hostess. Are there several more Guan Jiachong here? Liu Dong hurriedly asked.
"Not really. There is only one place called Guan Jiachong in the entire Songzi City! ”
The words of the proprietress made Liu Dong really relieved in his heart, there is only one place, otherwise if you want to find the treasure of King Zhuang that Uncle Li and they hid, I don't know how much time it will waste.
"Boss, how is Guan Jiachong's place? Is it close to the county seat? Is the road good or not? ”
Hearing Liu Dong's words, the proprietress looked him up and down, and said with a smile: "Little brother is the first time to come to our Songxi City, right?" ”
"Hmm. I am from Dongshan, I learned to paint, I heard a classmate said that Guanjiachong is surrounded by mountains, beautiful scenery, simple folk customs, is a good place to paint and sketch, so I am also ready to go to see! ”
After stopping Liu Dong's words, the proprietress nodded, "What you said just now is not bad, Guan Jiachong's place is indeed surrounded by mountains." As for the beautiful scenery or something, we have been opening a hotel here for a long time. I haven't been to much school, so I don't understand this! ”
"However, Guan Jiachong is a poor place, mountains and mountains, water and water, and there is no serious way into the mountains until now, the big car can't get in at all, and there is no electricity until now!" Speaking of this, the proprietress shook her head with some regret.
"Don't even have electricity?" Liu Dong was stunned in his heart, "This is really poor enough!" ”
Originally, Liu Dong thought that when he was in high school, in the movies that the school organized to watch, the situation of no electricity in the countryside was in the most remote places in northern Shaanxi, northwest, and southwest, but he didn't expect to encounter one right away.
"Little brother, Guan Jiachong's place is really difficult to walk and remote, I advise you, don't go, we have a good place in Songzi City, if you want to paint, it's good to go to the Zhushui Scenic Area!"
Songzi City's Zhushui Scenic Area, Liu Dong knows that the map of Songzi County he bought is very clear, it belongs to the national 3A scenic spot, which is really good, but Liu Dong's real purpose is not to travel.
After inquiring about the specific situation of Guan Jiachong, Liu Dong walked out of the hotel, then took a taxi on the side of the road, and came to the largest motorcycle mall in Songzi City.
The reason why I came here is to find a vehicle for myself.
From the words of the proprietress, he knew that the car in Guan Jiachong's place would definitely not be able to enter, and the bicycle speed was too slow, and Liu Dong might not be able to get there before dark. Only motorcycles are the safest. It is convenient and fast, but also flexible and mobile, and Liu Dong's goal is it.
Fortunately, when Liu Dong was in high school, during the winter and summer vacations, he once followed his classmates who were also in the city, and rode his father's motorcycle to practice.
Of course, Liu Dong didn't dare to buy a motorcycle that was too good, because good often means that it is too big, and it is difficult to walk on the mountain road if it is too big. So Liu Dong bought a Jialing JH125L, this thing is said to have run through Tibet during the test, if it is really no problem, then it should be no problem to run Guan Jiachong.
This time, Liu Dong once again proved the saying that money can make ghosts grind, and it didn't take an hour to buy a car and hang a tag, provided that Liu Dong spent an extra 10,000 yuan.
So when Liu Dong rode this Jialing from the motorcycle mall on the road, the time was exactly three o'clock in the afternoon.
I filled it with gas at the gas station, then bought another five liters, strapped it to the back seat of the car, and of course got it to the mustard space when no one was around. Finally, for the sake of his future diet, Liu Dong bought a large amount of cooked food in front of a stall, and then drove out of the city according to the instructions of the map in his mind.
After leaving the city, they drove along the road in the direction where Guan Jiachong was.
At first, it was nothing, although the road twisted and turned, and even rose and fell from time to time, but the lush trees on both sides, as well as the unknown wildflowers blooming towards the sun, and the rolling mountains in the distance, were very good to dispel the heat of Liu Dong's afternoon journey under the sun.
In the middle, Liu Dong passed through five or six mountain villages in a row, and then passed through a relatively good town, which should be the Baishi Town mentioned by the hotel proprietor, and the road behind became more and more curved. The surrounding population is becoming more and more sparse, and the pedestrians who can still be seen on the surrounding roads are now becoming fewer and fewer.
After riding for about half an hour, the road disappeared in front of Liu Dong's eyes, leaving only a winding mountain road that stretched into the distance under the green trees and mountains.
Liu Dong was very sure that if the map was correct, the Guan Jiachong he was looking for should be in front, but the road leading to Guan Jiachong on the map was too far from the one in front of him.
At this time, if he wants to enter the mountain according to the map, Liu Dong is afraid that he must be prepared to get lost.
However, Liu Dong's luck was not bad, after he rode slowly and leisurely inward for a while, a middle-aged man wearing a gray sweatshirt and riding a bicycle came to him, and saw a bulging white snakeskin bag tied to the seat behind him, thinking that he should be going to the city to sell something.
"Hello, uncle! I want to ask, how does Guan Jiachong go? Finally caught a person, Liu Dong hurriedly stopped the car and asked.
Hearing his words, the middle-aged uncle got out of the car and looked at him, probably thinking that Liu Dong was a little embarrassed, so he asked with a hint of caution on his face: "Where are you from, what are you doing in Guanjiachong?" ”
At this time, Liu Dong also hurriedly took out the words he had already made up, "Uncle, I learned to paint, I heard that Guan Jiachong has good scenery and simple folk customs, so I am going to go there to sketch and paint!" As he spoke, Liu Donghai pointed to the sketchpad and easel that had been deliberately tied to the back seat of the car by him at the moment.
Sure enough, after hearing his words, and then also noticing Liu Dong's sketchpad and easel, the cautious color on the middle-aged man's face was reduced a lot, and a smile appeared on his face, and he didn't look like a bad person when he looked at the posterior in front of him.
"I'm Guan Jiachong, Housheng, if you want to go to the village, just follow this road and keep going, but the mountain road is rugged and not easy to walk, so you'd better drive this motorcycle slowly!"
"I see, thank you, uncle!" …………
After knowing that he was going in the right direction, Liu Dong's heart let go! Of course, in order to avoid accidents, his speed slowed down a lot.
Jialing motorcycle deserves to be the first motorcycle brand in China, the quality is very good, and it is still full of power on this bumpy mountain road.
However, as Liu Dong continued to drive forward, the mountain road became narrower and narrower, and the surrounding terrain became higher and higher. Following the serpentine winding mountain road, Liu Dong gradually felt that he should be about to reach the top of the mountain.
Soon a street sign appeared next to it, there was a cliff ahead, please slow down.
Bypassing this sign, a cliff about 100 meters wide appeared in front of Liu Dong's eyes, the part of the road close to the cliff, there is a row of stone railings that are not neat, Liu Dong stopped the car, held on to the stone railing and looked down, a deep canyon appeared in front of him, the two sides of the canyon seemed to be sharpened with an axe, the stone wall was smooth, almost like a mirror, and below the canyon was a river that meandered from afar, the river was murmuring, passing under the cliff, flowing into the distance.
"I'm afraid this cliff is two hundred meters deep!" Liu Dong made a simple estimate.
After overlooking the scenery here from afar, Liu Dong really felt the beauty of the scenery here.
After watching here for a while, Liu Dong put his motorcycle into the mustard seed space, because the next mountain road is along the cliff of the mountain, winding down, when going down the mountain, it is much more difficult than going up the mountain, a car will roll down the cliff if you can't stop, as for the result, it is needless to say.
Along the mountain road dug close to the cliff, after coming to the bottom of the cliff, a bluestone bridge that crosses the river and has a distance of more than 30 meters appears in front of Liu Dong's eyes, crosses the bridge, and then walks along the river bank for more than ten minutes, and then follows the direction of the river, after bypassing the cliff just now, a waterfall with a drop of more than 30 meters appears in front of Liu Dong's eyes.
