Chapter 66: Climbing Baiyun Mountain
In August, due to the typhoon, there were several heavy rains, and the weather finally became less hot. The typhoon had just passed, and while there were still a few clouds floating in the sky, and the summer fire poison had not yet recovered, Song Zhiwen ran over to find Yang Guo and wanted to organize a mountain climbing trip.
Yang Guo, who stayed at home and faced the computer all day, felt that something was about to go wrong at home, and immediately agreed.
However, it is better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, and only Yang Guo will go alone, but it will become a light bulb between Song Zhiwen and the kitten, so Yang Guo also called Duan Xueqing.
Early in the morning of Saturday, Song Zhiwen drove the car, took Yang Guo and Qiqi to the market to make some purchases, and then went to pick up Duan Xueqing and the kitten, and a group of five people drove to Baiyun Mountain.
When he arrived at the foot of Baiyun Mountain, he bought a ticket, and Song Zhiwen drove the car to the parking lot. Since I'm here to climb the mountain, there's no need to drive up. After getting out of the car, Yang Guo took the largest bag from Song Zhiwen's hand, and the others also carried a bag, and Song Zhiwen also had a big SLR camera hanging around his neck.
Duan Xueqing walked beside Yang Guo, looked at the backpack as big as a mountaineering bag behind him, and asked with some concern, "Brother Yang, will this be very heavy?" Would you like to put some in my bag? I don't have a lot of stuff. ”
"It's okay, he's got a lot of strength now!" Song Zhiwen smiled and pulled the kitten past them.
Yang Guo held Qiqi in front of her chest with a strap, she had just woken up, looking at this strange environment in a daze, her head resting on her father's chest, feeling the heartbeat that made her feel safe.
Yang Guo smiled slightly, gently checked the backpack behind his back, and said to Duan Xueqing: "It's okay, it's not very heavy, let's go." ”
Song Zhiwen took the lead, and they slowly climbed up the stone steps on the left side of the driveway.
The sky is a little overcast today, but there is no sign of rain, so the less sunny weather is perfect for a day out. Climbing on the mountain path, the breeze caresses the lush trees of the mountain, as if to welcome them. Last night, Baiyun Mountain seemed to have a heavy rain, and when I looked at it from a distance, I saw clouds and mist in the mountains, as if I had come to the Immortal Cave Mansion.
If you just climb up, then climbing the mountain must be a very tiring thing. Yang Guo and they didn't come just to do sports, so every time they went to a novel scenic spot, Song Zhiwen would beckon everyone to come over and take pictures. In addition to group photos, most of the time Yang Guo is helping him take pictures with the kitten, because Yang Guo is carrying Qiqi and a big bag, which is a little inconvenient, Duan Xueqing is introverted, and she will not jump and jump like a kitten, and she wants Song Zhiwen to help her take pictures of anything new.
Of course, Song Zhiwen would also count with the kitten with a wicked smile, pushing Yang Guo and Duan Xueqing together, and letting the two of them stand together for a group photo. Kiki was very excited about taking pictures, and every time the camera was pointed at her, she curled the corners of her mouth with joy.
But Yang Guo and Duan Xueqing were not so natural, especially when Song Zhiwen asked the two of them to pose very intimately, Yang Guo was completely stiff. Although the kitten was smiling and jumping next to him, Yang Guo was just leaning against Duan Xueqing to take pictures, and refused to say anything further.
After a few rounds, Duan Xueqing's cheeks were red like the kitten, but the kitten was so tired from jumping around because she was too excited, while Duan Xueqing was shy, her face was a little unbearable, her face was so hot that she didn't dare to look directly into his eyes when she looked at Yang Guo.
Taking pictures is just a small episode throughout the whole journey, Yang Guo and the others do not stop, and walk forward.
When you come to Pugu, you can pass through the rippling lotus pond from the small bridge, and you can see the "Pujian Lian Spring", one of the eight ancient views of Yangcheng, from a distance.
The mountain stream is murmuring, and the vultures along the valley slowly flow down, and some tourists can't hold it back, so they take off their shoes and jump down. The water was only ankle deep. It's just that it's not the best time to play in the water, and if it's a hot day, the clear and cool mountain spring will definitely attract more people to cool off.
Even so, the intertwined trees in the mountains are like a canopy, covering this place into a paradise, and there is also sunlight spreading down through the thin cracks, and everywhere you go, the flowers are clustered, and the thick green is dotted with a few points of pink, so as not to look too cold and monotonous.
No matter how beautiful the scenery was, they couldn't delay Yang Guo and their progress, so after taking a few photos, they walked forward. Before leaving Pugu, Yang Guo and they saw an ancient temple, not a very big archway first into the eye, from right to left written "Buddha realm" two words, the back of the back is written "back is the shore".
"This is Nengren Temple," Song Zhiwen said, "but there are no monks here." ”
Like other attractions in Baiyun Mountain, almost all the buildings here were rebuilt after liberation. During the Anti-Japanese War, the little devils of the mud bombardment country invaded, Yangcheng fell, and the cultural monuments on Baiyun Mountain were destroyed along with the hills and trees. However, this is also good, there is no incense gas, and it also better protects the air of Baiyun Mountain, which is known as the "city lung". Therefore, the temple here is not so much a treasure of Buddhism as a monument that has witnessed history.
In the courtyard of the temple, there is a large crimson stone that is constantly washed by the fountain, the stone is called "Century Dream", look at the introduction above, it was transported from the Three Gorges. This made Yang Guo a little smacked, dozens of tons of big stones!
The kitten pulled Duan Xueqing and ran over to take pictures intimately, Qiqi was also very interested in this big stone, babbling, Yang Guo had no choice but to lean over and let her pat the big stone with her little hand. After so many years of washing, the big stone is no longer stained with dust, and Kiki pats it, and it is slippery. Although it was clean, she still got a hand of water, and Yang Guo had to take out a tissue and wipe it for her.
Yang Guo prefers the dragon carvings on the eaves of the temple, the dragon carvings are different everywhere, but they are all in the shape of teeth and claws, and the carvings are lifelike. After the baptism of the years, the dragon carving is somewhat damaged, and the color is also stained by rain and moss.
After Nengren Temple, the mountain road became steeper, and Yang Guo and the others climbed to the next scenic spot. Passing by the "First Peak of Tiannan", Yang Guo and the others came to the summit square.
In the square surrounded by guardrails, the kitten who followed Song Zhiwen in front suddenly screamed, Yang Guo and the others looked in the direction pointed by the kitten, and only then did they understand why she was so excited! At this time, Yang Guo and the others were already on top of the mountain peak, and as far as the eye could see, the surrounding mountains were shrouded in a kind mist. Just now they looked at the mountain below, and they felt that the mountain was like an immortal cave, and now, they seemed to be in the immortal cave, looking outside, there was a feeling of soaring clouds and fog, fluttering like immortals.
"The white clouds fly on the Baiyun Mountain, and the white clouds float under the Baiyun Mountain", the beautiful scenery in front of you at this moment is not exactly the answer to this poem? It is also known as "Baiyun Evening Look", which is indeed worthy of its name!
Extremely far-sighted, Yangcheng urban area can be in full view, far through the fog to observe the looming high-rise buildings, as if looking at a mirage, true and false, virtual and real, people difficult to judge.
There was a rattan chair next to the guardrail, and Song Zhiwen stuffed the camera into Yang Guo's hand and asked him to take pictures for himself. Song Zhiwen swaggered, like an evil master in ancient times, lying in it with his legs crossed, but with his wrists on his chin, he deliberately put on a cool expression on his face.
The kitten laughed crookedly next to him, which made Song Zhiwen angry, and the evil master sat in the rattan chair and scolded loudly, pulling this unknown folk girl "Qiang" into his arms and "ravaging" fiercely. Yang Guo, as a "reporter from the front", how could he let this wicked man succeed, he faithfully recorded all this with his camera, and in the future, he could hand it over to the kitten to settle accounts with him.
After taking a few photos of each other, Song Zhiwen said, "Let's go down!" ”
"Huh? We worked so hard to climb up, why did we go down again? The kitten said with a bitter face.
Song Zhiwen explained: "Go down to Mingchun Valley, you will definitely regret it if you don't go, because there are many birds in it!" ”
"Wow! Are you sure? Go, go! The kitten pulled Song Zhiwen with a look of surprise and rushed down first.
Yang Guo shook his head and looked at Duan Xueqing with a wry smile, and the two followed far behind. Looking at the fine beads of sweat oozing from Duan Xueqing's forehead, Yang Guo still asked very thoughtfully, "Xueqing, is the thing heavy?" Can I help you carry a little bit? ”
"Well, no, I can." Duan Xueqing looked at Yang Guo's shimmering starry eyes, lowered her head a little shyly, and said softly.
Duan Xueqing and Yang Guo walked side by side, and the pedestrians on the road looked at them with concern. There's no way, the man is tall and handsome, the woman is beautiful and outstanding, and she also brought a cute baby who is dressed beautifully, just like a big star family outing, envious of others!
"Come here." From afar, the kitten beckoned to them, and looked at her excitement as if she had discovered a new continent.
Yang Guo and Duan Xueqing smiled slightly, and the two of them walked up quickly.
"What a lot of birds!" Approaching, even Duan Xueqing, who had always been very calm, couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.
There are indeed a lot of bird houses built along the road, some of which are nests woven on trees, and some of them simply do not have nests. "It's a peacock!" The kitten called, and everyone followed her line of sight, and a peacock with a long tail was leisurely jumping from the ground to a half-meter-high branch, twisting its head proudly, disdainful of Yang Guo and them.
The kitten went up to look at it for a long time, and then ran back in frustration and said, "Ah, it doesn't even open the screen, it's dying!" ”
Yang Guo smiled and comforted her: "Peacock opening is usually in spring, and it is difficult for us to come at this time." ”
However, the birds in the garden are diverse, and peacocks are not the only ones who are attractive, and the kitten's attention is quickly diverted.
"Come and see, everyone!" Song Zhiwen suddenly shouted, and Yang Guo and the others surrounded one after another, "Look, there is actually a big rooster here!" ”
If you look at it carefully, it is true, three big roosters, two of them have pure white feathers, but the comb is red like fire, and one of the chest and abdomen and tail feathers are pure black, shiny and shiny, but the neck is white-brown.
Yang Guo, who came out of the countryside, recognized these three roosters, he said: "These chickens are called Yuanbao chickens, you see them, their tails are upward and inward, and their necks are also high up, do they look like ingots?" ”
The kitten nodded violently and listened very carefully.
"Let's see the next one! I heard that there are red-crowned cranes, so let's look for them. Yang Guo said. He just glanced at the introduction at the entrance of Mingchun Valley, which said, "There are more than 150 species of birds in the park, such as red-crowned cranes, swans, peacocks, yellow-bellied horned pheasants, and blue horse pheasants, with a total of more than 5,000 birds. ”
Now the peacock has seen it, but the red-crowned crane hasn't seen it yet!
