Chapter Thirty-Eight: Climbing to the Top of the Hump
Chapter Thirty-Eight: Climbing to the Top of the Hump
When the sun lazily sprinkled on the forest path in the mountainous area, the dew gradually dissipated, and the students walked happily on the mountain road with the chirping of chickadees in their ears and the flying insects in the forest.
There are not many tourists here, except for a sandy path about a foot wide that winds its way to the high peaks. Walking on such a path, if you can't step on the ground, you may slip and fall down without any cushion.
In less than twenty minutes of boarding, seven or eight students had slipped and fallen one after another. Since then, everyone has gradually become familiar with the road conditions and mastered some skills of mountain climbing, so that basically no one slipped.
Zhao Yili had been here once in his previous life, but because the time was too long, he couldn't remember the route clearly, and there were several mountain roads to the top here, and Li Zhijian led everyone to take a road that was a little detour but had a high safety factor.
Surrounded by mountains, especially after the first frost fell, the triangular maple and mangrove trees all over the mountains reflected each other, and the forest had already become a red and yellow golden sea, and the sunlight shone directly through the gaps in the leaves, and the lazy tree frogs were occasionally frightened, jumping down from this leaf, falling into the water of the mountain stream, and flowing downstream, not knowing where to wander.
Due to the series of detours, Zhao Yili asked Li Zhijian to continue to move forward, stayed and gathered the team, looked at the various groups that passed in turn, and cheered for each student, and everyone responded by nodding their heads one by one.
Since each group was finished by the team leader according to the agreement, when Zhao Yili stopped and saw the fifth team leader, Geng Tong, he had already waited for the end of the team, so he chatted with Geng Tong and the two of them while hurrying forward with the team.
The first two hours of the tour were fairly smooth, and it was not until the team reached the first natural attraction that it gradually stopped. This is a mountain spring, this mountain forest can be regarded as a primeval forest, no planting, no development, so the mountain spring water gushing out from the spring is extremely clear, sweet and delicious, seeing that Li Zhijian greeted himself in the distance, so Zhao Yili asked the leader of each group to count the members of the group in turn, and after all the members arrived, everyone began to take a temporary rest here.
Li Zhijian ran over to discuss the next plan with Zhao Yili, and Zhao Yili took the opportunity to arrange for everyone to stay at the spring for ten minutes, drink some water and eat something first, and then set off.
Several team leaders also gathered over, Li Zhijian saw that everyone had arrived, so he whispered to everyone: "Here, it is said that it is the main water intake place of the Taoist temple on the mountain, because there is no spring on the top of the mountain, and the mountain spring water from several springs higher than here is not as good as here, so when the local mountain people go up the mountain to work, most of them will come to this spring to replenish drinking water." The most important thing is that there is a mysterious place on the side of the peak, and there is a mysterious place that is not well known, according to the old people, this place should be the most mysterious place in the whole camel peak scenery, but the path leading to that place is too steep and too dangerous, and few people have been there, so I did not inform you about this matter, what do you mean, squad leader? ”
Zhao Yili looked at Li Zhijian, and then looked at the classmates who were idle everywhere, and asked the opinions of the leaders of each group, but everyone didn't have a sure idea, thought about it and said, "How much time does it take to get from here to the top of the mountain?" ”
"It's about one and a half hours, and there are three other places where you can stop and watch."
Zhao Yili looked at his watch and said: "This trip, everyone's safety is the first, which is why I support Li Zhijian's approach, we are not here to explore, so the beautiful scenery but the danger factor is too high, it is really not suitable for those of us who do not have much experience in wild survival to adventure, my idea is to only take the main road, stay at the peak for two hours, and then go down the mountain." What do you think? ”
Geng Tong took over at this time and said: "I support the squad leader's opinion, safety is the first." After that, he looked at Zhao Yumei and Lin Xiaofei, and Lin Xiaofei said that although he also wanted to see this place with such a charm, he still had to take into account the overall situation, and it was a big deal to bring some equipment in the future and then form a small group to come over and try.
Zhao Yili looked at Si Shuangshuang, who immediately shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and said softly: "Safety first." However, "
This is everyone raised their heads and looked at Si Shuangshuang, waiting for her next.
"When I was on the mountain climbing road just now, it seemed that someone in Lin Xiaofei's group chatted and mentioned that place, and they also brought people over to take a look when they went down the mountain, but it happened to be very noisy at that time, and I didn't know who said it for a while."
Everyone's hearts sank, it seems that this matter is far from being as easy as imagined, it turns out that in addition to Li Zhijian, there are other people who are familiar with this area, and this matter is probably going to be extraordinary.
Zhao Yi thought about it ideally, and felt that it was necessary to emphasize safety to everyone, so he clapped his hands, gathered the classmates, solemnly emphasized the safety requirements again, and also pointed out a certain restless classmate, don't take risks.
The team restarted, stopped on the road, and at about 12 and a half in the morning, everyone finally arrived at the destination of the event - the peak of the camel peak.
Everyone piled up the backpacks on their backs according to the position of the group, and then began to take various pictures, this time the students brought 4 cameras, all of which were point-and-shoot and simple to operate, so taking pictures to release the pressure that had accumulated in their hearts for a long time became a popular trend at this time.
Several team leaders took out the rainproof cloth they brought, took people to lay it out, and put it on the forest meadow, at this time the sun was just heading, at noon in autumn, the temperature was not low, but today's wind seemed to be a little strong, and the big stones found on the feet of the rainproof cloth were pressed, and the students who took photos came back one after another, and the long-awaited official activity - the picnic began.
Although No. 6 Middle School is known as one of the top middle schools in the county, with rigorous learning and excellent learning style, this does not mean that the students are all nerds who only know how to study, on the contrary, for this group of teenagers, the long-term self-suppression of body and mind, once released, is like a calm lake blowing a strong wind, with constant waves and ripples.
Everyone started eating their own food, mostly soft drinks and bread. However, there are exceptions, some people actually brought canned sardines, canned fruits, because Zhao Yili and this small group of organizers have a good prestige, plus the relationship on weekdays, many students have sent the canned food in their hands to the group leader, and then refused wave after wave of kindness, but under the hospitality, I had to let go of my hands and feet, and went to each group's dinner point to eat and drink, so that everyone's relationship became more harmonious.
At this time, Si Shuangshuang also gave the apples and oranges in his hands to the classmates, because the number was really limited, he secretly left a big one for Zhao Yili, but was discovered by the sharp-eyed Lin Xiaofei, but he didn't point it out on the spot, but hummed and sang a little song, pretending not to see it and walked away.
