With the exploration of his feet, the scene of the forest appeared in sight little by little, and at the same time, the weight of the mountaineering bag finally began to invade, and the pressure of the weight made his breathing begin to become short, Lu Li now finally understood Tony's words, why thirty catties would be like three hundred catties or even three thousand catties in the future.

Lu Li felt full of question marks, why did he start this hike? Why should he ask for his own suffering? Why did he give up his comfortable life every day and walk on his feet in the wilderness with 300 pounds on his back? Why did he reject such simple tools as a car or an airplane, return to the most primitive state, and endure torture?

As time progressed, he still didn't find the answer, but he began to enjoy this "torture" wonderfully.

Hiking is like life, only by walking one step at a time, can you really feel the taste, tired, comfortable, sore, happy, comfortable, free, relaxed, open, calm...... More importantly, this is a battle between oneself and oneself, and it is also a dialogue between oneself and oneself, which becomes a blank brain, but faintly begins to think, thinking about those deep, superficial, meaningful, boring, interesting, and nihilistic questions.

For twenty-five minutes, Lu Li kept thinking in his mind that his back was a little itchy, and he wanted to reach it, but he couldn't. If he leaned against the trees, could he be relieved a little? But if he can't, should he put down his backpack just to tickle it?

More often than the meaning of life, the hike is more about thinking about these meaningless trivial topics, but the freedom and purity of thought have been unleashed like never before.

Life is always too busy and too crowded, and we seem to have forgotten to leave a little time for ourselves. The so-called self here does not refer to the time spent in the quilt, holding a mobile phone and scrolling through Weibo, or eating snacks and watching dramas, or playing games to kill time, but the time spent with oneself.

In moments like these, even just thinking about trivial matters is a pleasure. It's a bit like a road trip, but it's not at all like it, and it's very different from the physical test of a road trip that allows the mind to focus entirely on oneself compared to the comfort and relaxation of a road trip.

This was only Lu Li's first hike, he lacked enough experience, and he wasn't sure if he understood it correctly, but Lu Li was really tired and enjoying it.

They don't move forward very fast, with one- to two-hour intervals each time, and they also sit down to rest for a while. At first, they would make small talk between breaks, but soon, they would give up talking and just silently drink water, eat, rest, and then continue on their journey.

"We are like ascetics, practicing silence." Picking up the backpack again, Lu Li teased with a smile.

"What do you think we should do?" Lu Li walked over and helped Song Lingyi carry her backpack, Lu Huaijin stood next to her and was self-reliant, and she still had the strength to speak, "While walking, chatting?" Our physical strength is not so good, and when we speak, our breathing is disordered. ”

Lu Li shook his head, "That's not what I meant. Thinking about the silent practice that he had come all the way, he felt an inexplicable sense of joy, "I just feel that the hiking I imagined before was like going on an outing, and there was a lot of joy along the way." Even if it's not, it should be relaxing. But today, we've been on our way, as if we're heading towards a destination, and we don't even have time to look at the scenery around us, which is completely different from what I imagined. You should know that we have no destination today, right? Wherever you go, stop when you're tired. ”

"I think that's what hiking is all about." Lu Huaijin replied, "A journey of communicating with nature is also a time for communicating with oneself. Isn't this what everyone who is caught up in the hectic pace of modern life needs? ”

Lu Huaijin checked Song Lingyi's backpack, and after making sure that there was no problem, he nodded to Lu Li, "In the next paragraph, I'll lead the way in front." After walking for most of the day, Lu Huaijin looked more and more energetic.

Seeing Lu Huaijin's steps forward, Lu Li couldn't help but sigh. Indeed, that's what they need.

On the rest of the journey, the three of them fell into silent practice again, walking all the way, only the sound of footsteps rubbing against the sand and gravel was rustling, and in the silence, you could clearly hear the details of every sound in the forest, so that it seemed that you could see the traces of the wind, hear the source of the water, and feel the heaviness of the soil......

It was a wonderful feeling, but the invisible things revealed their original appearance in nature, and a light breeze swirled around the branches of the treetops, round and round, like a five-year-old child, laughing and frolicking, and the crisp laughter was sweet like a marshmallow in the sun.

Stop-and-go, the unknown distance is revealed little by little.

Due to the consideration of tomorrow's return trip, Lu Li and his party did not bury their heads in the road, and began to look for suitable campsites after four o'clock in the afternoon, and then found a gurgling stream, which looked like a tributary of the Marshall Valley, and went up along the stream, Lu Li found a small waterfall about three meters high, the flow of water is not rich, but the crystal clear water droplets are shining in the sun.

About 30 meters below the waterfall, there is a small clearing under the wide shade of trees, which is perfect for camping. So, they decided to stop here for today's hike.

For Lu Li, setting up a tent is not an easy task. Not only was this the first time he had done this on his own without Tony's guidance, but he also had to guide two completely novice people through the construction of another tent. However, Lu Li did not panic, he calmed down and led the two rookies to complete the construction of his tent, which can be regarded as practice; At least after no more hands, the three of them joined hands to build a big tent for Song Lingyi and Lu Huaijin.

The two tents sit under the rich shade of trees, the verdant green against the vivid orange and red, and the vast expanse of forest and mountains is lit up with a faint but bright halo. Looking at the tent that had been set up so hard, the three of them let out a long breath, and a satisfied smile appeared on their faces.

Lu Li suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly stepped forward to confirm it carefully, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's wrong?" Song Lingyi asked puzzled, Lu Li smiled and said about setting up a tent before but forgetting to nail it, "I thought that the same mistake was repeated today." Even Song Lingyi stepped forward to carefully confirm whether the nails were solid enough.

"Now that we're ready to light a campfire, we're ready to light a campfire." Lu Li looked up at the sky, the blue sky was only a little visible through the branches, "It's not even five o'clock yet, but the light in the forest will soon dim, so it's better to prepare in advance." "Ignited, part of the reason is also Lu Li's lack of experience and wanting to prepare in advance.

"Okay, what do we need to do?" Song Lingyi said confidently and handed over the control and distribution to Lu Li.

Lu Li stood in place and thought about it seriously, "You guys here to sort out your backpacks, take out the things you need, and then build a small stove to relax a little." I went around here to get some dry firewood and came back soon. They also walked for nearly six hours, and Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi must have been tired, so the physical work was handed over to him, a young man.

This time, neither Lu Huaijin nor Song Lingyi refuted it, and nodded in agreement.

"Alright, get our communications equipment out." Lu Li picked up his backpack, opened the small pocket on the side, took out a black walkie-talkie, turned around and saw Lu Huaijin's helpless face, Song Lingyi opened the backpack at the bend down, and also found their walkie-talkie in the same position, Lu Huaijin shook his head, "Is it really necessary?" ”

The walkie-talkie, the most popular communication method in the 80s, the short-range communication method, was gradually eliminated after entering the 90s. However, in situations like the wilderness and forests, walkie-talkies are much better than mobile phones, which are a brick when there is no signal; But the walkie-talkie is always able to complete the call.

Lu Li said solemnly, "Dad, I'm serious. I'm not sure where we are, but, as Cole said, black bears and wolves can still be spotted here. We have to be careful. ”

"Now that they're all outside, why don't you try to take a look?" Song Lingyi looked excited, "This is all an old thing, when I was young, walkie-talkies were also popular in the county, but not everyone can have them." At that time, I was a little envious and thought this thing was quite interesting. ”

"Lu Li, Lu Li, this is Lingyi, did you receive it? Complete. Song Lingyi pressed the call button and began to test, and the unique zila noise came from the walkie-talkie, and there was an illusion of time and space reversal in an instant.

"Roger. This is Lu Li, are you all right there? Complete. Lu Li also cooperated with the performance, a professional appearance.

"Good! When I come back, can I catch some fish and come back? Complete. Song Lingyi was also energetic, especially when she saw Lu Huaijin's helpless expression, Song Lingyi smiled even more happily.

"No problem! Complete. Lu Li said again, and then stuffed the walkie-talkie into his pants pocket, "Then I'll go." ”

"Be careful on the road, don't go too far." Song Lingyi raised her voice to admonish, and then watched Lu Li's back as she left, she turned her head to look at Lu Huaijin who was sitting on a rock, "So, Mr. Lu Huaijin, now that we are the only ones left, are you ready to relax?" ”

A smile flashed in Lu Huaijin's eyes, but he still couldn't hold back after all, and the smile on the corner of his mouth rose shallowly.
