It turned out that the two of them were also determined to go to Yunnan. To be honest, the three of us are in the mood of trying our luck all the way, if it can go well, it is the best, if it doesn't go well, we should go on a trip.

I did a day's train, got off the bus and took the bus for five or six hours, and finally took the tractor of the villager to the village on the map - the floodplain village belongs to Jiangcheng County, Yunnan, located at the junction of China and Laos, it is the most intact Dai residential village in Yunnan, originally under the jurisdiction of the Twelve Banna Zhao Tusi, the living ethnic group is the Dai nationality, and has preserved the simple folk customs, folk customs, language, food and architectural style for hundreds of years, and the pattern of one village and one temple. The floodplain village is built on the mountain and the river, surrounded by rivers. The soil is fertile, rainfall is abundant, and it is a typical subtropical three-dimensional agricultural climate, which is relatively humid, although it is now September, there is still a feeling of hot and humid. The village chief is a man in his forties, his dark skin is full of traces of time, a white sweat towel is wrapped around his head, and he communicates with us in Mandarin that he is not fluent, we told him that he is here to play, the villagers are very warm and entertain us, the pomegranate and papaya here are very sweet and delicious, after eating, a girl of the Dai nationality pulled me up and danced the bonfire dance, this girl is the daughter of the village chief named Ashima, this year is only fourteen years old and will be as tall as me, big eyes, two dimples when laughing, and the skin is also healthy wheat. Liu Xiang saw that we were dancing happily, and he also got up to dance with us.

I was tired and stayed at Ah Fang's house one night, and soon fell asleep.

Early the next morning, I saw Lu Zhidao chatting with the village chief in the courtyard.

Lu Zhidao asked the village chief if he had heard of Peacock Mountain.

The village chief said: "Young man, I will know what is going on as soon as you come, you listen to my advice, don't go, over the years, the name of Peacock Mountain has attracted many people, but they can go in, you can't get out, you are still young, it is not worth it for a female doll." ”

Lu Zhidao looked surprised.

Village Chief: "Ashima has already told me that there is something on the girl. ”

Lu Zhidao lit a cigarette: "Since you know the village chief, we won't hide it, we are different from others, we are here to save lives, she is very important to me, no matter what Peacock Mountain has, I will go!" ”

Village Chief: "Young man, I can see that you are different from others, you are different from those stunned youths, they are just to spy on the secrets of Peacock Mountain, you seem to have come prepared." The village chief patted Lu Zhidao on the shoulder and said, "Since I can't persuade you, there are still ten days left in the next rainy period, so you should go early and return early." ”

After breakfast, the village chief brought us some dry food and water, and asked Ashima and a sturdy Mauri to show us the way. Packed up and set off.

It was a muddy path at first, but apart from some mud, everything else was fine. Along the way, Ashima chirped like a swallow to tell us how to identify whether the food in the wild is poisonous, picked pomegranates for us to eat, and also told us the origin of Peacock Mountain, Peacock Mountain is like Wuzhi Mountain, several mountains are compactly connected, because there are more trees and shrubs, from a distance it looks like the tail of a peacock opening the screen, so it is called Peacock Mountain.

As I walked, the path under my feet was nowhere to be found, and there were ankle-high bushes everywhere. Shoes and trousers were wet with dew from the grass and trees, and the further you went, the higher the bushes rose until there was a large forest ahead. Ashima said that through the forest in front of him, he could see Peacock Mountain, and he would go back with Mauri.

It was about noon, the sun was very dry, we found a dry place, ate something and drank some water, rested for a while, and waited for the sun to go a little west, and then we continued walking. As soon as I entered the forest, the road under my feet was much easier, and the lush trees were one after another, and when I looked up, I could only see the sky through the gaps between the branches. The three of us also lost the mental state we had just started, each carrying a backpack, tired and hot, and our legs were just moving forward.

I don't know how long it took, finally walked out of this forest, as soon as I came out of the forest Peacock Mountain, I came into view, the sun was about to set, the red fire clouds were sprinkled on the Peacock Mountain, the lush trees on the Peacock Mountain seemed to be plated with a layer of gold, this magnificent scenery could not help but make us sigh at the magic of nature.

The sun was about to set, so we found a ridge, lit a fire and set up a tent, and prepared to rest for the night before going into the mountain.
