Chapter 236: Rain on the Mountain

The first stop that Lai Xiaohu took everyone to was Xin*xiang City, which is close to the commercial city, and the two cities are close to each other, so they are naturally not far apart. It only took a few people to drive from the urban area of Shangdu to the urban area of Xin*xiang City in just over an hour, but this is not everyone's destination.

This time, there are two main tourist attractions that Lai Xiaohu wants to take you to, one is Wanxian Mountain in Xin*xiang City, and the other is Baligou Scenic Area, the tourist card of Xin*xiang City.

In fact, these two people are in the same place, and the distance is not too far, after booking a hotel in the city, everyone set off again to leave the city to the north.

About forty minutes later, the two cars arrived at a three-way road along the rugged mountain road, but fortunately, Lai Xiaohu had come here, and he knew that from here it was the separation of the two scenic spots. If you turn left along this fork, you will be Wanxian Mountain, and if you go to the right, you will be the road to Baligou.

Boys are generally more interested in tall and famous mountains, while girls prefer to go to places with water, so at the request of Li Momo and Yang Ling, everyone immediately turned right and went to Baligou first.

However, after walking around Baligou for an hour, Yang Ling and Li Momo immediately regretted it, originally from Lai Xiaohu's mouth, the two of them listened to how Baligou was, there were mountains and rivers, and there were waterfalls, thinking that this should be a beautiful picture.

But when they arrived, the two realized that it was not like that. Maybe this place was as good as Lai Xiaohu described in the past, but today it is not beautiful at all.

The whole Baligou is civilized by water, but here along the creek for more than an hour, most of the places are already in the degree of the stream is broken, Baligou is no one is still Baligou? It's like the Yellow River, if there is no one, is it still the mother river?

So see this scenario. Everyone, including Lai Xiaohu, was a little deflated. And now it is close to July, at this time when the weather in the Central Plains is officially hot and dry, a group of people walk in the almost unobstructed ravine, and there is no one on the side, it is hot can be imagined.

Lai Xiaohu had been to Baligou before, but this time was also the first time in recent years, and he didn't expect this scene.

However, the reason for all this Lai Xiaohu knows that it is not the sequelae of economic development, in the past 20 years, everyone has been holding back their strength to develop the economy, but no one has really considered the natural environment. Therefore, although the economy has come up now, the surrounding natural environment has also become a victim of the great dynasty of economic development.

This is the case with Baligou, which was originally a ravine, and the water in it was all collected from other rivers, but now there are few of those source rivers that still flow for reasons that everyone knows. The water source has been greatly reduced, and the water in the natural Baligou has also decreased sharply.

Add to that the increase in droughts caused by extreme weather. There is also less and less rain in the local area. The combination of various reasons has also caused Baligou, which used to be a beautiful scenery no matter when it came, and became a scenic spot that can only be seen by luck.

If you are lucky, for example, it has just rained, maybe this is a different scene, if you are unlucky, like Lai Xiaohu and them, you can only come to see the broken ravine.

No way. Lai Xiaohu hurriedly explained, "This, it must be the wrong time for us to come, it hasn't rained here for a long time." But it doesn't matter. When it rains here, can we come again? ”

After all, it is his hometown, so Lai Xiaohu can't tell the actual situation, just give an explanation of the reason to fool the past.

After listening to Lai Xiaohu's explanation, Li Momo stopped making trouble for a while, and then everyone returned directly halfway.

I drove back to the fork in the road and walked straight along the fork to the other road.

In about an hour, everyone came from Baligou to the entrance of Wanxian Mountain, and after one person bought a ticket, everyone followed the other tourists and began to climb up the rugged mountain road.

Wanxian Mountain is still relatively high, the highest elevation is 1672 meters, here the peaks are showing, the mountains are stacked, the ravines are vertical and horizontal, and the waterfalls and springs are not lacking. At the same time, Wanxian Mountain is not only an AAAAA-level scenic spot, but also a national geological park.

Climbing the mountain is what Lai Xiaohu likes, he has always thought that real men should climb the peak, in his previous life, Lai Xiaohu preferred to climb the ancestral mountain next to his home, although the height is relatively here, but every time he climbs up, the scene of noble shouting on it still makes Lai Xiaohu yearn for it very much.

Ancestral Mountain is famous because of its unique historical position, it is one of the cradles of Chinese civilization, while Wanxian Mountain is famous purely because of the beautiful scenery here.

Of course, its steep mountain is also a reason why everyone yearns for this place, Lai Xiaohu rarely climbs such a steep mountain, although there are artificially slotted stone steps in every place along the way, but just outside the stone steps that is the valley, the whole stone steps are still very narrow, most places can only be passed by one person.

Sometimes walking on a mountain road with a low handrail can make you feel a palpitation just by sweeping your eyes over the valley on your right.

Even Lai Xiaohu had a feeling of horror when he climbed Wanxian Mountain again after many years, let alone a few other people.

Looking back, Dong Wan and Liu Yafei were still relatively calm, just walking on the mountain road inside, not wanting to make a frightened sound after walking two steps like several other people.

Seeing this, as a man, Lai Xiaohu of course has to take on the responsibility of a man, the baby is held by Liu Yafei for the time being, don't worry, and the little girl is too young, but there is no fear of adults, sometimes it is still not to stick her head outside to take a look, if it is not for Liu Yafei to keep pulling the baby, maybe there will really be any danger.

Lai Xiaohu came to a wider place and stopped, and asked Liu Yafei to lead him to the front, and then Lai Xiaohu asked Yang Ling to walk in front of him, Li Momo walked behind him, and he was holding a person with one hand.

Being held by Lai Xiaohu, Yang Ling and Li Momo both felt a lot more settled. It was much faster to walk, but Dong Qing, who was walking at the end, felt uncomfortable when he saw their movements.

"Sister, look at him," pointing at Lai Xiaohu, Dong Qing said to Dong Wan with a bad face, and the meaning was self-evident. Anyway, until now, Dong Qing is still very prejudiced against Lai Xiaohu, in his eyes, Lai Xiaohu used to be a poor bastard, but now he is a pervert, and he is also a very unqualified pervert.

Dong Wan naturally saw Lai Xiaohu pulling her daughter. But she didn't say anything, on the one hand, she didn't think as much as her sister, on the other hand, Dong Wan knew that her daughter was really unforgettable with Lai Xiaohu's old feelings, so she had to take her time, the last time her daughter ran away from home so far, it scared Dong Wan a lot.

Due to the fact that there are more people. So in general, everyone walked slowly, and when everyone reached the top of the mountain. It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon. At this time, everyone hasn't eaten lunch yet.

Fortunately, there are several snack bars on it, and a group of people ate some special snacks in it and then played on the top of the mountain.

Dong Wan, Dong Qing and Liu Yafei should be people who often come out to play after all, so after walking around it, they began to sit on the side and rest.

However, Li Momo and Yang Ling were more crazy with the camera, pulling the baby to take pictures non-stop.

But it didn't take long for Lai Xiaohu to look up. The sky in the distance turned out to be a black oppressive patch, needless to say, it was definitely about to change.

The weather forecast he only heard last night is a sunny day today, but he can't care so much, Lai Xiaohu doesn't want everyone to be drenched on the top of the mountain.

Lai Xiaohu has been here before. So I know where there are cars to go down the mountain, these vans are basically driven by those residents at the foot of the mountain, they live here, eat by the mountain, and some enter it as an administrator, while some people are optimistic that many people who climb the mountain are not very good in physical fitness, and they know that many people are afraid of being tired, so they specially sit on the business of these people.

Whether it's going up or down the mountain, they can get twenty dollars in their hands if they catch a person.

"Master, how much does it cost to go down the mountain?" Lai Xiaohu, who was worried for a while, hurriedly found a van to solicit customers, the master was a middle-aged man in his thirties, in order to prevent the other party from treating himself as a foreigner, Lai Xiaohu also talked to the other party in his hometown dialect.

But obviously, Lai Xiaohu's trick didn't work, if you usually meet someone in your hometown, you will be cheaper, and now that it is going to rain, the master directly asks for the price, "Fifty for one person." ”

"What?" Lai Xiaohu's eyes immediately widened when he heard this, "Why is it so expensive," Before he came, he also checked the price on the Internet, and knew that they usually charge about twenty yuan, but now it is good, it has more than doubled.

Lai Xiaohu was a little angry, this is simply making money and making crazy money, everyone in his hometown is pitted, and when the other party finished speaking, he directly waved his hand to signal that he would not sit.

But usually seeing this situation, maybe the master will catch up and bargain with Lai Xiaohu, now, seeing that Lai Xiaohu is leaving, people don't say a word to stay. Because just when Lai Xiaohu was leaving, another group of people on the side had already come up to take the car.

The master sat in the car for a while, and after the other party came up, he directly quoted the price, seventy for one person.

After hearing this, Lai Xiaohu in the back and front immediately felt like countless horses running across the grassland, and the only thing that made Lai Xiaohu happy was that people still gave some preferential treatment on the face of being a local.

Lai Xiaohu didn't do it, but after the group of people who came behind and the master bargained, not a single dollar was reduced, and finally the group saw that the dark clouds had reached the top of their heads, and knew that if they didn't leave, they would be trapped on the top of the mountain today, and the group didn't bargain anymore, and directly got into the van at the price of seventy yuan per person.

Seeing them go, Lai Xiaohu was also anxious, and looked up, good guy, this is simply a dark cloud, feeling the wind whirring on the top of the mountain, it is estimated that it will not be long before a lightning bolt comes down, and it will start to rain on this day.

"Fifty is fifty, let's go back first." Seeing the increasingly gloomy sky, Lai Xiaohu didn't think about whether he had been cheated by others.

Immediately walked to the other van, no bargaining, Lai Xiaohu negotiated fifty yuan per person with the master in his hometown dialect, and then greeted Dong Wan and them, everyone quickly squeezed up, and then the master started the car and ran down the mountain quickly. (To be continued......)
