In the early morning, there was no hateful alarm ringing, Qin Xiaotian slept very soundly, and when she opened her eyes, it was already dawn, she glanced to the right and found that the bed was empty. "What about people?" Qin Xiaotian muttered in his heart, climbed out of bed, and looked for people everywhere. When I opened the door, I saw Yuan Dutian, wearing a dark blue short-sleeved T-shirt, sitting on a wooden chair at one end of the corridor flipping through a book, and a cup of tea on the table. She couldn't help but smile, Yuan Dutian looked up and saw her, beckoned to her, and Qin Xiaotian obediently walked over.

"Why do you wake up so early?" Qin Xiaotian straightened his unkempt hair.

"Get used to it. I'm afraid that you will come out if it is noisy, you go to wash up, take care of it and come out again, don't worry. Yuan Dutian showed a warm smile, and the rising sun just happened to have a ray of sprinkling on Yuan Dutian's side face, and the halo blurred the outline of the angular face, and Qin Xiaotian lost his mind instantly.

"What are you looking at?" Yuan Dutian looked at Qin Xiaotian, who was standing opposite, staring at him with his mouth slightly open, lowered his head and raised his head again, and said with a smile: "If you open your mouth again, Ha Lazi is going to flow out." ”

Qin Xiaotian immediately came back to his senses, quickly closed the two pink petals, and muttered, "It's beautiful!" Then he blushed and turned and fled into the room.

Today I was going to ride around Erhai Lake, Qin Xiaotian changed into a light pink short-sleeved T-shirt and light gray cropped pants, put on casual shoes, sorted out his backpack, and straightened his hair in the mirror again, and then left the room satisfied.

"Do you want to bring anything else? I brought a small backpack in which you can put your stuff. Qin Xiaotian walked up to Yuan Dutian and bent down slightly to ask.

Yuan Dutian turned his eyes from the half-flipped book to Qin Xiaotian's face, closed the book unhurriedly and said, "Give me 5 minutes." After speaking, he smiled at her. Qin Xiaotian turned his head and sent him into the room, secretly laughing behind him. I am in a good mood, very happy, and my heart is clear and transparent, just like this blue sky. Qin Xiaotian lay on the wooden guardrail and looked at the falling courtyard and the blue sky and white clouds, very happy.

"Bring it to me." Yuan Dutian saw Qin Xiaotian grinning with his eyes slightly closed from afar, and he didn't even notice that he was approaching.

Qin Xiaotian felt someone patting his backpack, turned his head and saw a familiar and handsome face, and his mouth grinned even wider. Yuan Dutian took off the backpack behind her, put the camera, sunglasses, wallet, and mobile phone into the backpack, and carried the backpack behind her back.

"Do you carry it? Qin Xiaotian couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh, and pointed to the cartoon pattern of two ears on the backpack behind him, hehe.

Yuan Dutian's head twisted to the back and looked down, and said nonchalantly: "What's this, anyway, this bag has to fall on me in the end." ”

"Okay, let's go!" Qin Xiaotian grabbed Yuan Dutian's arm and jumped downstairs.

The two of them ate a bowl of local rake bait at the breakfast shop outside the inn, and Qin Xiaotian touched his swollen belly very comfortably and stood up.

The scenery of Erhai Lake is really good, the water is so clear, the golden sunlight is fluttering with the wind, emitting a sparkling golden light, sparkling, reflecting the majestic Cangshan Mountain, even the wind blows with a trace of dry sweetness. Qin Xiaotian stood on the shore covered with stones, squatted down, and bowed a handful of water with his hand, although it was summer, the water was cold. Qin Xiaotian picked up a hand of water in both hands and spilled it out, having a lot of fun.

"Dare to go to war with me?" Yuan Dutian raised his eyebrows, his eyes widened, and before Qin Xiaotian could react, he scooped up water and splashed it at her, Qin Xiaotian laughed and dodged it, but Yuan Dutian was too agile, and Qin Xiaotian's clothes and pants were still wet.

"Hey!" Qin Xiaotian stood far away from Yuan Dutian and pointed at him and shouted, "You...... Bullying people, knowing that I have less strength than you and run slower than you, you still splash me, making me wet all over, if I get sick, see what you do! ”

As soon as Yuan Dutian heard the word sick, he hurriedly trotted over, stared at Qin Xiaotian's body for a while, and sure enough, there were a few wet places, so he touched a few wet places with his hand, and said a little apologetically: "Why don't we find a place to sit, the sun is just right, and the body will dry after a while." "Qin Xiaotian just wants to truce, since Yuan Dutian feels embarrassed to bully him, let the adults let him go.

The two of them rode a rented electric car and continued along the road by Erhai Lake, came to a small restaurant near Shuanglang, and sat down to bask in the sun and blow the wind. Qin Xiaotian sat on the swing and swinged slowly, looking at the waves of water in front of him rushing to the shore, and some aquatic plants and reeds grew on the shore that were much higher than the water surface, rustling with the wind. "If only I could enjoy this life like this every day."

"Ugh!" Qin Xiaotian's head was knocked with her knuckles, and she hatefully touched the place that hurt a little.

"Little girl, think beautifully!" Yuan Dutian held the swing rope in one hand, stabilized Qin Xiaotian's back with the other, and pushed Qin Xiaotian high with force. The moment it fell, Qin Xiaotian's heart sank suddenly, and he felt a momentary sense of weightlessness, and then he screamed happily. How long has it been since I have swung such a high Qianqiu, such a swing is probably still a child, Yuan Dutian pushed hard one after another, Qin Xiaotian enjoyed the feeling of falling from a high altitude, and the whirring wind in his ears could not drown out the cheers of "ah-ah".

Tired of playing, Qin Xiaotian asked to come down, and asked with a little breath: "Do you want to try it too?" I'll push you. Yuan Dutian nodded and sat on the swing unceremoniously. Come on! Yuan Dutian ordered loudly.

"Ahh After a while, Qin Xiaotian's hands were sore, and he shouted for Yuan Dutian to come down.

"I haven't had a good time yet, so tell me to come down." Yuan Dutian protested, "I didn't even swing too high!" You don't push too hard. ”

"Who said I didn't push hard, I already pushed very hard, who told you so hard, you can't push it."

Yuan Dutian had no choice but to come down helplessly and watch Qin Xiaotian pound his arm.

"Alright, alright, come, take a break." Yuan Dutian put his arms around Qin Xiaotian in his arms and patted her on the back.

"Hungry, eat." Qin Xiaotian was coquettish in his arms.

"Okay, what do you want to eat? There should be quite a few nice things here. Yuan Dutian pulled Qin Xiaotian towards the restaurant. The two ordered a papaya fish at noon, a vegetarian dish and a soup, and they ate it very moisturizing.

The two of them were blowing the sea breeze on the shore of Erhai Lake, sitting on a rattan chair and drinking tea, chatting without a word, and the atmosphere was very natural.

"Let's go to Cangshan!" Looking at the towering Cangshan Mountain, Qin Xiaotian pestled his chin and muttered.

"Then let's go!" After speaking, Yuan Dutian stood up and pulled Qin Xiaotian and walked out.

"Huh?" Qin Xiaotian was dragged away before she could react, please, she was sleepy.

Yuan Dutian rode an electric car all the way, the two of them rushed to the foot of Cangshan before 4 o'clock, two or two people took a small cable car up, semi-open cable car, so that the scenery in front of them at a glance. The vast Erhai Lake is gray in the middle of the mountain, and the number of pine forests and trees under the feet gradually fades into low bushes, and the underlying rocks can be seen through the green vegetation.

After getting off the cable car, the two continued to go up the mountain along the road, although it was a hot summer, the more they walked up the mountain, the more they felt a little cool. "The weather here is so strange, it's so hot in the sun, why do you feel so cool when you get to the shade of the trees, it's still cold on this mountain!" Qin Xiaotian hugged his arms and rubbed his two arms against each other.

"Is it cold?" Yuan Dutian asked with concern.

Qin Xiaotian nodded. Yuan Dutian took Qin Xiaotian's two hands, covered her, and said, "This is the so-called vertical climate, unique to the plateau area, if it doesn't work, let's go down the mountain, it will be better to go down for a while." ”

"Well, it's late today, it's dark in a while, let's go down the mountain." Qin Xiaotian was a little worried about the unpredictable weather in this mountain, it was obviously sunny, the blue sea and the sky was clear, why the clouds and mist on this mountain were so heavy, she was a little worried about whether there would be a problem when she came up unprepared, so she agreed to hurry down the mountain. Originally, there was no need to make the time so tight when traveling, you had to climb to the top or something, travel is about the process, and who to travel with, the purpose is not so strong, and it is not better to be relaxed and happy.

The two walked around a section from the Yudai Road to enjoy the scenery along the way, and looked at the looming Erhai Lake, although the feet hurt, it was also very comfortable. When I arrived at March Street in the ancient city, it was almost 8 o'clock in the evening, but fortunately, it was late in the southwest and the ancient city had not yet entered the state of nightlife.

The next day, the two slept lazily, got up close to noon, and after a leisurely lunch, they took a car to Lijiang. The mountain road is bent, and sometimes the car turns around sharply, Qin Xiaotian's heart will tighten suddenly, "I feel that the butt of the car is exposed in mid-air." She relied on Yuan Dutian and couldn't suppress the vigilance in her heart, for fear that the bus would accidentally fall off the cliff and die. Yuan Dutian comforted her and let her sleep, she thought that it was also true, instead of opening her eyes and being afraid, it was better to close her eyes and sleep, out of sight and out of mind.

Lijiang's Dayan Ancient Town is different from Dali Ancient Town, with narrow stone roads and dazzling shops on both sides, and most of the shopkeepers are outsiders. Qin Xiaotian likes the stream that passes through the city the most, the water flow is crystal clear, you can see the green aquatic plants swaying with the water flow, reaching in to test the water temperature, a cold soaking close to his fingers, extremely sweet. She led Yuan Dutian tirelessly from east to west, from south to north, vowing to walk through every alley of the ancient city. Not only the ancient city of Dayan, but also the quaint Shuhe ancient town is what she wants to go to, and it is also her favorite one among the three ancient towns. Because Shuhe had not yet been commercially developed at that time, the old wooden houses and brick and stone houses were inhabited by local ethnic minorities, and occasionally you could see a tiger skin, cowhide and other animal fur on the wooden deck chair in the courtyard. A few decades ago, the land here was barren, but the vegetation was dense, and there would be wild animals such as jackals, tigers, pigs and other wild animals in the mountains and forests. When the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain was frozen and screamed, but he insisted on climbing to the top of the mountain to take pictures, Qin Xiaotian was truly in awe of nature's magic workmanship. In the ancient city, overlooking the top of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, the top of the mountain is white, as if a layer of white lime powder has been put on the top of the mountain, and after coming up, I found that the top of the mountain is not white snow, but a hard blue-white glacier.

Journeys will always bring surprises and joys, but there will also be tiredness, accidents and sadness, but travel is all about the process and experience, and the people and things you meet along the way may be remembered after many years, or you may have forgotten them. Some people will accompany you on a journey or in life, and some people will smile and pass by. Qin Xiaotian and Yuan Dutian met many people who traveled together in pairs and threes when they were hiking Tiger Leaping Gorge, but in the end, it was Ah Lang from Guangdong and his girlfriend from Jiangxi who accompanied them to the finish line.

Store your luggage, enter the Tiger Leaping Gorge Scenic Area, and keep seeing foreigners coming and going, basically every time you meet them, they will be very

ice's say to you: "Hello". Looking at the steep cliffs and the rushing Jinsha River under the cliffs, Qin Xiaotian was both excited and looking forward to it, this was her first real hiking on an international route. After insisting on walking to the Naxi Accord Inn, the two of them had lunch and rested for a while, and when they set off, they happened to meet three backpackers on foot, three from different countries, France, Italy and Switzerland. Qin Xiaotian came out of the toilet and saw Yuan Dutian chatting with three tall foreigners, walked over curiously, listened to their chat for a while, and probably understood that these two men and a woman were backpackers, they were going to cross the Tiger Leaping Gorge to Shangri-La, and finally enter Tibet, and then go to Nepal, and then return from Nepal. The Swiss girl was tall and muscular, and her snow-white skin was obviously burned by the ultraviolet rays of the plateau, and it was flushed red. Yuan Dutian saw that Qin Xiaotian had been secretly observing them beside him, turned around and introduced Qin Xiaotian to the three foreigners, Qin Xiaotian simply greeted them in English, and the group of 5 people set off. At the beginning, everyone was still talking and laughing, talking about the different customs and customs of various places, and commenting on the beautiful scenery of Yunnan, but after entering the 28 bends, Qin Xiaotian gradually felt that his physical strength was exhausted, and at first the five people were still pulling each other, and then Yuan Dutian was afraid that he would slow down the speed of the three foreigners, so he asked Yuan Dutian to ask them to go first. The three foreigners asked again and again: "A."

e you OK? Do you

eed a

y help?”“ No，tha

.” After Yuan Dutian explained and apologized to the three foreigners, he climbed onto the rock in front of him with his hands and feet, and when he stood firm, he turned around and pulled Qin Xiaotian. Qin Xiaotian climbed onto a rock and embarrassedly shouted at the three handsome guys and beauties more than ten meters in front of him: "I'm too slow to keep up. Go ahead! I hope we ca

see you agai

.” After speaking, the three people in front of him raised their hands and said goodbye to them: "Hold o."

a

d come o

This shout-like encouragement drifted in the valley with the wind, giving Qin Xiaotian a lot of emotion and courage.

She and Yuan Dutian met Ah Lang and Xiang Xiang when they were climbing the 28th turn, and the speed of these two people was also slow, so they met the two people in front of them at the 19th turn. After greetings, I knew that they were also going to stay at the Tea Horse Inn, thinking that there were only a few last corners, so it was better to walk together and have company. Along the way, the four of them chatted about why they came here to travel, how difficult it was to come here, and so on.

"It's not easy for us, we don't work in one place, Xiangxiang is in Nanchang, I'm in Guangzhou, it's difficult for the two of them to get together to ask for leave, this time it's rare to have the opportunity to ask for leave, and I didn't think about flying here from two places." Ah Lang was sweaty, but he was very talkative, telling the story of him and Xiangxiang in his unique Cantonese Mandarin. Qin Xiaotian listened to it with relish, and climbing the mountain road while chatting would temporarily make people forget about their physical fatigue. Qin Xiaotian turned his face and asked Xiangxiang, who was side by side with her, "Wow, the experience of the two of you is so legendary?" Xiangxiang nodded, wiped the sweat on her forehead, and her little face was as red as Qin Xiaotian, which was all due to the father-in-law of the plateau sun.

"Did you two really know each other on the train?" Qin Xiaotian felt a little incredible, it just happened to be in the same carriage, but in one day, the people who separated the two places actually looked at each other, and then left each other phone calls and follow-up progress, which was the same as watching a TV series.

Xiangxiang laughed and said, "Yes, I didn't expect that I would meet a man on the train and become my boyfriend." After speaking, his eyes squinted at Alang. The sweet look that came over made Alang laugh heartily.

Talking and laughing did make time pass faster, and at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the four of them arrived at the Tea Horse Inn. It just so happened that the four of them were booked in a quadruple room before, and they could just live in one room. After a brief freshening up, the four of them went to the restaurant to order some Naxi specialties for dinner, comforting their feet and cold stomach after a hard day's work. The food was delicious, maybe it was because she was hungry, maybe it was this warm food that warmed Qin Xiaotian's body and mind and drove away her tiredness, she felt that it was extremely delicious, and she ate two bowls of rice in a row. After dinner, the four of them took a walk in the small courtyard, waiting for night to fall and watch the stars in the sky. Sitting under this huge dark blue curtain, looking up at the shiny sapphire embedded in the curtain, and breathing in the cold air of the mountain, Qin Xiaotian cleared his nose.

"I'll go in and get you a coat." Yuan Dutian touched Qin Xiaotian's cold hand and got up to go into the house to get his clothes.

"I'll go with you!" Ah Lang also got up from his chair suddenly, "It's a little cold outside, I'll go in and see if there is any hot drink for the two beauties." After speaking, Chao Xiangxiang and Qin Xiaotian smiled happily and followed Yuan Dutian in.

Qin Xiaotian rubbed his hands, stared at the sky that seemed to be within reach but couldn't see the end at a glance, and slowly asked Xiangxiang, who was holding his arms beside him: "I can see that Ah Lang is very good to you, don't you want to be in the same city?" ”

"When we met, we hadn't graduated yet, when he went from Guangzhou to Nanjing to find friends on the train, I also went from Nanchang to Shanghai to play, just in a carriage, very accidental chat, I got off the train when he asked me for a phone number, I was a little hesitant, but I don't know why I still gave, I didn't expect him to contact me later." Xiangxiang's eyes seemed to have returned to the ordinary carriage, recalling the scene of the natural conversation between the two people sitting opposite, and after getting acquainted, they also played double buckles with their neighbors.

"I think it's incredible, people who have only met once, rely on the sound of the phone and letters to bring us together, but we are not favored by the classmates around us, not by the family, my parents persuaded me to break up. Everyone thought we would break up after graduation, but now we've been working for more than a year, and we're still separated, still together. A smile crossed the corner of Xiangxiang's mouth, a little sweet and a little bitter.

"What are you going to do after that?" Qin Xiaotian asked Xiangxiang at the same time, she was actually asking herself, she didn't think that far.

"Hmm...... We are discussing that when I return from this trip, I am ready to quit my job and go to Guangzhou to find a new job. Xiangxiang paused for a moment, and then said, "I guess I'll have to quarrel with my parents again." There was a lot of helplessness in his voice. Qin Xiaotian nodded in understanding.

"However, people always need to take a step to make a choice, if I don't go, it's not a way, maybe the final result is not good, but if I go to Guangzhou, maybe we have a good future, I think my parents will eventually understand, and they can take them to live in Guangzhou in the future." Qin Xiaotian listened and nodded.

"What are the two beauties talking about?" Ah Lang stood behind the two with a grin with two cups of hot milk, and Yuan Dutian was followed behind him.

"Didn't talk about anything." Qin Xiaotian and Xiangxiang shook their heads at the same time, and then smiled at each other.

Yuan Dutian put on a coat for Qin Xiaotian, Qin Xiaotian took the hot milk in Ah Lang's hand, said thank you, and warmed his hands with a hot cup.

The quiet and joyful time always flies quickly, the next morning four people must challenge the tiger jump, the itinerary is very intense, walk through the teacher Zhang inn, the ladder plank road and the first line of the sky, arrive at the walnut orchard when it is already five o'clock in the afternoon. Xiangxiang and Ah Lang will return to Lijiang City and then go to their next destination, Banna, while Qin Xiaotian and Yuan Dutian will rent a car and return to the luggage storage office to retrieve their luggage and go to Shangri-La.

After reluctantly parting, sitting in the bumpy van all the way, Qin Xiaotian suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and complained angrily: "I finally know why the Yunnan-Tibet Highway is called the road that turns my heart upside down." As soon as he finished speaking, his whole body flew upwards and hit his head on the roof of the car. Qin Xiaotian shouted, covering his head and rubbing it, Yuan Dutian was about to fall asleep, but when he heard a "poof", he opened his eyes keenly, and walked past Qin Xiaotian with amusement and distress.

"Girl, sit tight, hold on to the handle." The driver in front of him kindly reminded that in addition to them, there were two other people in the car who carpooled to Shangri-La.

It was late at night when I arrived at Zhongdian County. Qin Xiaotian was sleepy and tired, and he didn't eat anything along the way, so when he arrived at the hotel, he bought two bowls of instant noodles at random and fell asleep after passing the time.

The sky in Tibet is pure and pure, and the clouds are as white as fairy beasts that have not been contaminated with the turbidity of the world. Although the air inhaled in the morning and evening was a little tingling in his throat, and even though the rice was raw, Qin Xiaotian still fell in love with this land with flags and flags, tired stones, cattle and sheep everywhere, and potato flowers and Gesang flowers everywhere. This is the first time she has seen potato flowers, they are so beautiful, red, yellow, and white, swaying in the wind, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, shuttling among cattle and sheep, wandering in the beautiful scenery, Qin Xiaotian is so intoxicated. Climbing the stone steps to climb the Songzanlin Temple, Qin Xiaotian was a little out of breath, it was really a plateau, she felt a slight altitude sickness for the first time, but this did not prevent her from opening her heart to love the clean blue sky, soft white clouds, heavy red earth, the sound of chanting Tibetan Buddhist scriptures and prayer wheel hula la in the temple, Qin Xiaotian suddenly felt a sense of belonging. She took Yuan Dutian's hand, opened her four hands in the wind, closed her eyes, let go of everything, her ears and eyes were clear, all the senses of her body were mobilized, the pores on her body were also opened, the cells in her body were jumping, and her perception gradually became transparent and sensitive. Qin Xiaotian never imagined that she would love this Sanskrit temple so much, allowing her to remove all her guards, nervousness, and uneasiness, examine her heart, and return to calm and tranquility.

On the train back to Xiangcheng, Yuan Dutian suddenly asked curiously if Qin Xiaotian had any nicknames when he was a child. Qin Xiaotian seemed to have caught a fun topic, and said seriously: "I started to wear glasses when I was in middle school, and there were not many classmates wearing glasses in the class. After speaking, he heard Yuan Dutian frowning and laughing wildly on the side, and repeated: "Qin Sige, Qin Sige." So creative! Qin Xiaotian made a gesture to raise the mineral water bottle and smash Yuan Dutian.

"Don't, don't!" Yuan Dutian blocked the plastic bottle with both hands, snatched it away, and then suddenly stopped laughing and said, "Four grids? I think it's better to call it four, isn't it? My Highness Gege? ”

"Gege, you're big!" Qin Xiaotian went to snatch the plastic bottle in Yuan Dutian's hand, Yuan Dutian stood up flexibly and flashed, and Qin Xiaotian pounced. was so angry that he shouted: "Yuan Dutian, you did it on purpose, take it back to me!" Then he asked reluctantly, "Then what is your nickname?" ”

"Me?" Yuan Dutian said slyly: "No, hahahaha!" ”

"Hmph, you bad guy, lie to me, ignore you!" Qin Xiaotian stopped all movements, turned his back to Yuan Dutian, and remained silent.

"Really angry?" Yuan Dutian leaned over, and at this moment, Qin Xiaotian turned around and quickly snatched the plastic bottle that Yuan Dutian was holding in his left hand, and aimed it at Yuan Dutian's stomach twice. Yuan Dutian covered his stomach, bent over and said fiercely: "Okay, you are a four-square, you actually attacked me." ”

The first trip between the two ended in the nickname of Four Grids. Many years later, when Qin Xiaotian recalled, the corners of his mouth would still unconsciously pull a smile.
