Wedges are high and the road is long

I rubbed my lightning-stricken eyes and looked around through the car window, finally seeing what I was seeing.

Oh, my God! The car actually stopped on the top of a mountain surrounded by white clouds, surrounded by clouds and mist, twilight, and the whole mountain top seemed to be held up in mid-air by floating clouds, which suddenly made me feel dizzy, am I still alive! Didn't the car rush off a cliff?

I tried to calm myself down, tried to open the door, and carefully moved out of the car until my feet stepped on the hard ground and my hanging heart was relaxed.

After a round around the car, I completely confirmed my judgment. The car was indeed parked on the top of the mountain, and it was still proud and independent, because there was really no higher mountain around it, and the whole area of the summit was the size of three or four off-road vehicles. As far as the eye can see, the mountain peaks are surrounded by a large area of lush greenery, and there is no end in sight. There is not a trace of human activity in the distance. It seems that the place where I am is a Jedi should be no problem.

I'm a little confused, this is too bizarre! I clearly remember rushing out of the cliff just now, how did I come to the top of the mountain in the blink of an eye? Even the fixed-point landing of the skydive is not so accurate! How can there be such a coincidence in the world. Could it be that the lightning bolt just now? It stands to reason that it can't be! How could lightning have such a powerful force to send a nearly two-ton off-road vehicle to such a steep mountain peak without any damage to the car and people?

I shook my head and took out my phone that was still intact, the phone was still fully charged, but there was no signal, it was strange that there could be a signal in this kind of ghost place. Ay! Qiu Jun and Dai Bo don't know where they are, even if they notify the police, they probably won't be able to search this place for ten days and half a month.

I had to carefully recall what had happened before the lightning happened.

My name is Li Yi, I am 23 years old this year, after graduating from a famous university in Jiangsu Province with a major in bioengineering, I am now the deputy general manager of a well-known domestic company. Being the deputy general manager of a large company at such a young age does not mean how good I am, but because this company was founded by my father in the first place. As the future heir of this family business, I was arranged by my father to serve as the company's deputy general manager just after graduation. My father's aim, of course, wanted to train me as the successor of the family business as soon as possible, so that I could take on some of the heavy responsibilities for him.

But my thoughts were contrary to my father's. Although I love literature and art, and I am very good at writing and drawing, I should be more than Sven, but in fact, on the contrary, I am a natural adventurous material, and I have a tenacity that never admits defeat, and I especially like adventure and travel. I was a member of the school's mountaineering team in college, and although I have not climbed a few famous mountains, my adventure experience is quite rich, and I have conquered more than a dozen mountain ranges in western China. Of course, none of these mountains exceed 5,000 meters above sea level, and this is what I have always regretted.

However, after graduating, I was really like a fish in water, and with the support of my family's abundant funds, I organized seven or eight mountaineering teammates who knew each other well to launch a charge against Nianbaoyu Zefeng in Qinghai. With the close cooperation and joint efforts of everyone, everyone successfully reached the summit, and the feeling of seeing all the mountains at a glance is unforgettable for me.

The joy of this great success inspired me to have the idea of exploring the Hengduan Mountains again.

Despite the resolute opposition of my father and mother, at my unreasonable insistence, they had to make concessions, but with an additional condition that I could accept, that is, after returning from this expedition, I must concentrate on running the company's business, and I must not engage in mountaineering, exploration, and other activities for three years. Under pressure, I accepted the above conditions in full, and at the same time, I also took into account the eagerness of my parents to share the responsibility for them, after all, the position of deputy general manager I held was like a virtual reality, and I only went for more than three months in eight months, so I was a little sorry for my parents.

Eliminating the resistance from home, my friends Qiu Jun and Dai Bo and I carefully sorted out enough expedition equipment and set off in a large four-wheel drive seven-seater luxury off-road vehicle with superior performance.

At the beginning, the trip was quite easy, the road conditions were good, and the traffic flow was small, and it took less than two days to enter the territory of Yunnan. However, due to the weather in April and May, Yunnan is the rainy season, and several successive heavy rains have made the mountain roads muddy and difficult to walk, and the mud puddles are one after another, and the speed of travel has gradually slowed down under the obstruction of slippery silt.

The four-wheel drive off-road vehicle has overcome one difficulty after another with excellent off-road performance and strong and abundant power. Just when everyone was secretly rejoicing, a huge mud puddle lay in front of us. The mud pit is three meters in diameter, blocking more than half of the four-meter-wide mountain road, and the mud pit is full of water and you can't see how deep it is, and on the left is a bottomless cliff. When we tried to get around this mud puddle with luck, the two wheels on the right still fell into the mud puddle, and the wheels were not under the water.

"It seems that it won't work if you don't push it, what kind of broken car are you, and it is also known as the best in off-road vehicles!" The enemy and Dai Bo muttered and wept with a sad face, and reluctantly jumped out of the car, stepping on the slippery mud and going around the back of the car.

Under the full impetus of the two of them, they watched the two wheels on the right surface from time to time, and crawled to the edge of the pit with difficulty, but they were never able to break out of the mud puddle.

"Dude, work harder, I see there's a door." I shouted encouragement to the two brothers behind me.

"Damn, don't talk about it, I even have the strength to, or you can come down and try it too." The enemy gave up the cart, wiped the sweat from his forehead, squatted on the ground and panted, and Dai Bo had to give up his efforts, and the two right wheels slid back to the surface of the water and did not move.

"You're an award-winning bodybuilding instructor, but you're so untrained? If I want to have your strength, I'll go down and push it for you. I teased him. Hi! Dude, now is not the time to rest and enjoy, I see that it is about to rain this day, brothers hurry up and wait until there is a place where there is a house to rest! If there is another rain, I think we will be miserable! ”

The enemy looked up at the cloudy sky, and quickly stood up, "But isn't it, this thief seems to be determined to oppose us, and if there is another rain, we will spend the night here." As he spoke, he spat twice into his palm, beckoned Dabo to the back of the car, and carried a large rock from a distance and stuffed it behind the right rear wheel.

I increased the throttle again, and with their hard work, the two right wheels surfaced again, and little by little they climbed towards the edge of the pit. I looked at the darker and thicker, lower and lower clouds, anxious mood forced myself to step on the accelerator to the bottom, under the hard push of the two people behind me, the car finally struggled out of the mud puddle, at this moment, the power of the off-road vehicle suddenly increased infinitely, and instantly lost control. In the exclamation of the two people behind them, they rushed to the cliff like arrows. I tried to pull the handbrake and press it as hard as I could, but it was all in vain, and the car was still rushing straight into the valley like an arrow from a string. In the moment when I was about to despair, suddenly a colorful lightning bolt struck the car, and the consciousness in my brain quickly blurred.

Thinking back to this, the strange lightning still has palpitations when I think about it, but there is no trace of burning or even itching on my body, and there is no problem with the car, it seems that there is really no way to explain, and I still want to find a way to get out of danger! If you can't go up to the sky or the ground, no one cares about it, and we don't have the ability to fly down, unless you come to a helicopter.

I just made a general observation, this mountain to the foot of the foot of the mountain is one or two hundred meters, and the slope is steep, if you climb with bare hands, you don't have to think about it, two words - no way! Besides, I mainly wanted to explore this time, and I didn't expect to climb such a high mountain, and the length of the rope that came with the car was at least half, so I couldn't go down to a high-altitude bungee jump halfway.

Leave him alone for now, let's replenish some energy to nourish the spirit! For this expedition to the Hengduan Mountains, we stored a lot of food in the back compartment, a large bag of all kinds of jerky, beef and pork, dozens of common crepes in our hometown, dozens of double yellow salted duck eggs, and two large boxes of mineral water, a box of instant noodles, a box of multivitamin functional drinks, and some other flavored snacks. If these foods are eaten sparingly, there is probably no problem in sustaining a person's survival for two months. We have not experienced such a dilemma, and now we can only take one step at a time.

After eating and drinking, I lay on the grass at the top of the mountain, lit a cigarette comfortably, took out the high-powered military binoculars in the car and looked around at the picturesque scenery around me, there were rolling hills near and far, but there were no abrupt peaks. But the forests are seamless, except for a few mountain springs and streams that you occasionally see, everything is covered by green vegetation, and the ecological environment here is definitely comparable to Zhangjiajie and Jiuzhaigou.

Secretly thinking about it, if you can cultivate yourself in this elegant air pavilion, it is really good, maybe you can meet a fairy or something, build two grass huts, raise a large group of children, wouldn't it become a living fairy.

In the midst of my endless reverie, it occurred to me that there were three more tents on the roof of the car. If all of them are torn into strips of cloth and rolled into ropes, the approximate length should be about the same, and there is no problem with the strength. Thinking of this, I immediately jumped to my feet.

Soon the three tents were cut into long strips of canvas by me with Swiss army knives, and two strands were rolled into a rope, and the strength was very good after trying, even if it carried two or three hundred pounds, there was no problem.

But the workload is too great, from noon to dark, only more than half of it, at this rate today is not finished. Anyway, there is a lot of food and drink, and I am not busy at this moment, so I should rest and do it tomorrow!

It was very cold at night and much stronger than during the day. The off-road vehicle shook from time to time under the cold mountain wind. Wow! This is not good, if this is blown down by the mountain wind, there will be nothing to eat and live, so you will drink the northwest wind on the top of this mountain! With that in mind, I decided that it would be better to fix the car with stones.

I searched with my eyes, and there were a few rocks on the top of the mountain, but the head was very scary to look at, and it was like being born on the ground, which was not something that my own physique could enjoy, if only the enemy were here. I had no choice, so I found the crowbar on the car, pried a few rocks loose, and used all my strength to move a tabletop-sized stone, but I didn't expect the stone to turn over easily.

No, this stone is hollow, how can it be so light to start! But it doesn't look like a hollow stone! I moved it again, and the stone obediently turned over again. I tried to lift the stone, and it was very comfortable to hold in my arms. Such a large stone, at best, is as heavy as a gas can, it seems that his strength is a lot greater, hey! I already had this momentum, and I still needed the two of them when I pushed the cart.

I put this stone in front of the wheel, and piled the other stones around the car piece by piece. After doing all this hard work, I just sweated a little bit in my head. Cough! If this work had been done before, I wouldn't have been able to kill it! Speaking of the experience of the past two days, it is really a bit incredible, it is really incomprehensible! With these questions in mind, I got into the car and slept hard.

The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, I got up in good spirits, and after moving my body, I had a beautiful meal, and continued the work that I had not completed yesterday.

After about two or three hours of work, a long rope was made. I connected this canvas rope with the original climbing rope with a dead buckle, and slowly hung down to the foot of the mountain, and there were still four or five meters left, and it seemed that my life as a cave man would soon come to an end.

Stretching my waist and legs, moving my sore arms for a while, stroking my fingers that had been rubbed to blood, all this seemed to be in vain, seeing that there was hope for survival, my heart only had a sweet joy.

You can't take this buggy with you, so let it stay on the top of the hill as a striking landmark! You have to carry plenty of food and drink, and who knows how long you still have to go. You have to bring the expedition gear, too, and maybe a useful place. A few special maps, a few reference books, three flashlights, three high-powered military binoculars, other rainproof sleeping bags, cameras, video cameras, first-aid kits, and most importantly, a five-shot shotgun and sixty rounds of ammunition, which I bought from the black market at a high price. Although the government is very strict about gun control, I really like guns, so I asked someone to buy one from the border area at a high price. After many experiments, it was found that the power of this shotgun is really amazing, this guy, when walking on the mountain road, it is very useful to guard against a beast, a bad guy, or something.

The other package of things made it difficult for me, including two strings of artificial crystal rosaries with Buddha statues embedded in them, and two larger crystal balls with Buddha statues embedded in them. My mother did everything possible to find out that there was such a thing in Yunnan and specially asked me to buy it for her. Although it's not easy to carry, since it's something that my mother wants to wear, I have to bring it back to her anyway.

I divided everything into two large bags and packed them in two large travel bags, and then roped the two large bags to the bottom of the mountain at once. After moving the joints of his body, he put on a full set of mountaineering equipment, and slid down the mountain along the rope with ease.

Although the mountain is abrupt and steep, it is nothing in my eyes, especially after the miraculous increase in strength, it gave me infinite courage and confidence, and I soon slid to the foot of the mountain with ease.

When my feet hit the ground, my body and mind were completely relaxed. No matter how difficult the road ahead was, we finally got through the difficulties in front of us. Looking around, in addition to the dense forests and hills, how to go in the future can only be left to fate.
