The Great Wall of China.

It does not originate from the Qin Dynasty, the history of the earlier period can be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the most famous allusion to the "Princes of the Beacon Opera" originated from here, but that was in Xi'an. In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the countries competed for hegemony and defended each other, and the construction of the Great Wall entered the first **, but the length of the construction at that time was relatively short. Until Qin destroyed the six countries and unified the world, Qin Shi Huang connected and repaired the Great Wall of the Warring States, and it was called the Great Wall of Ten Thousand Miles. The Ming Dynasty was the last dynasty to overhaul the Great Wall, and the majestic buildings you see in front of you were built at that time.

Since you have come to the imperial capital, how can you not climb the Badaling Great Wall?

Even if the summer vacation in August is not a holiday, there is a lot of traffic, and there are many young people like me who are not afraid of the scorching heat and go head-on under the sun. Tong Ying and I were squeezed in the crowd and sweating, and it was rare to see her calm as smoke, and irritability appeared on her face, and she pursed the corners of her lips and smiled.

I probably understand her mood, not so much because of the hot weather, but more because of the people around her. People who have been born in a quiet environment for a long time can grind their personality very quietly, but they are not good at being in the crowd.

Leave her alone and concentrate on the bluestone steps at your feet.

The ancient Great Wall lies in the fact that it has been built in ancient times, and even if there are defects to fill, it will not wear out the original traces. Therefore, the bluestone steps under your feet are not of the same height, some are short and easy to climb, and some almost have to take a big step to climb. After a few distances, I was out of breath.

Standing at the mouth of the typhoon and looking down, for the first time, there is a feeling that the great rivers and mountains are all under your feet.

The mountains of Badaling are all sandstone head mountains. Surrounded by mountains and mountains, mountains and mountains, the top of the lofty mountains and mountains are full of continuous steps. Imagine the helplessness and shock of the nomads climbing mountains and wading to the city in the era of cold weapons. Many of the travelogues of foreigners who came to China about the Great Wall recorded their shock and emotion when they first saw it, and the name of GREATALL spread far and wide.

I remember an American named Peter Heisler who drove around the Great Wall, and in his words: In my childhood, whenever I saw a map of China, I would silently say: How amazing it is to walk along this wall and cross the whole country.

Now I crawl through a short section of it, and my mind turns over and over the history of the Qin period.

When I looked back again, I was slightly shocked that I couldn't see Tong Ying's figure. Looking around, I searched the past little by little, but I couldn't find anyone as far as I could see.

Looking up at the upper ridge, it took nearly two hours to almost climb to the last platform, and there was no reason to turn back. With Tong Ying's skills and ability, there should be no problems. So after the integration, continue to climb up.

The leg bend is already sore, but as long as I look back at the distance I have traveled, I feel a sense of accomplishment.

Wisely, he bought bread and water at the foot of the Great Wall to replenish his strength. I had already drunk both bottles of water, and decided to go to the balcony above and buy another one. But when I climbed to that floor, it was not an exaggeration to describe it as dumbfounded, and I actually saw Gu Xi and his faction sitting leisurely on the steps in the shade, and Tong Ying was standing next to him.

Looking back at the long steps, and then looking at him, it is still possible that Tong Ying took the lead in climbing this place when I was thinking about things, but when did he run to the front?

Gu Xi was still wearing that plain white robe, and when he walked slowly, he attracted the attention of passers-by. When I arrived, he reached out and patted me on the head, and scolded: "Don't look confused, there is a cable car on this floor." I've been waiting for you here for a while. ”

Uh, and the cable car? Stretching out his neck, he really saw cable cars sliding up in the shadows of the trees. It's not that I have bad eyesight, it's that the section of the climb is twisted and turned, and there is no trace of the cable car from the bottom.

That Tong Ying is afraid that he received his order, and he should have come to meet him before me.

Gu Xi naturally came to take my hand, but I took the first step to insert my hand into my pocket and let him hold it empty. He was not annoyed, the corners of his mouth rose and asked, "How did you think of such a land to climb the Great Wall?" ”

Glancing at him, he walked directly past him and continued to climb up.

Maybe people under the roots of the imperial city, who were born and raised in the imperial city, will think that climbing the Great Wall and visiting the Forbidden City is a very earthy thing, but he doesn't know how many people yearn to reach the highest place to see the rivers and mountains and feel the traces of history.

There is only one last platform left from the cable car, and it is also the steepest. It took too much physical effort before, and it was obviously difficult to get to this point, especially when it came to crossing the high steps. Suddenly, a palm stretched out from behind my waist to push me up, and I only slightly turned my eyes to see Gu Xi's feet on my side, and I didn't insist on avoiding it anymore, just his strength went up, and then almost all of them were pushed by his palm to climb to the highest place.

Prostration is not enough, and wheezing cannot be stopped. Looking back at him, he was not tired at all, and he didn't even breathe. He also looked sideways, and said with a mockery: "With such poor physical strength, you still want to climb the Great Wall all the way?" ”

It is useless to talk to him more, if most of the ancient Great Wall is up by cable car, and only the last tower is taken, then the meaning of climbing the Great Wall will be lost. Standing at the highest point, the whirring wind blows on the body is very cool, close your eyes, the winding Great Wall is vivid, and more extension is not this crowd that is heading up, but... A pile of history from scratch. A corner deep in my heart sighed softly.

Suddenly thought that Gu Xi didn't say anything for a while, turned his head but didn't see him, and was surprised, he wouldn't leave, right?

When I looked around and saw someone staring behind me and whispering, I turned my head and was shocked.

It is said to be 888 meters above sea level, and you can see the majesty of that height when you go down. And Gu Xi actually sat on top of the city tower with his feet outward, looking into the distance with a deep expression. If you ignore his dangerous actions at the moment, you will feel that his side face has never been quieter and indifferent.

I didn't dare to step forward quickly, for fear of interrupting his thoughts and startling him, and the consequences I couldn't imagine.

Walking lightly behind him, the outstretched hand trembled slightly, until he grabbed his arm as if he had grasped the core. He slowly looked back and saw that the depths of the pitch-black pupils were as deep as an ancient well.

It was as if he didn't know me.

But in the next second, the corners of his mouth raised and asked, "The scenery is good at this height, do you want to come up?" The spell was removed, and I gritted my teeth and said, "What are you crazy about?" Don't you see that everyone else is looking at you? ”

He didn't even raise his eyelids and said: "I don't care what others do, since I came up, I will find a good perspective to see the thousands of mountains overlapping the grass and the warbler flying, otherwise your trip to the Great Wall will be in vain." Come, I'll pull you up, and you'll know that the scenery is unique here. ”

Resisting death, he grabbed his arm and sank hard, and the whole person was almost hanging there.

A smile overflowed in his low eyes, and he was about to say something, but he was suddenly interrupted by the side: "Girl, at this time, your boyfriend will agree to whatever he says, this is not a joke, if you jump down, there will be no one." ”

I was stunned, turned my head sideways and saw an aunt standing a few meters away with a worried face to persuade her, she thought that Gu Xi had a conflict with me and then jumped the Great Wall? This doesn't even happen when the sun comes out of the west.

But before I could react, I heard a voice in my ear that seemed to be wronged: "She blames me for not accompanying her and wants to break up with me." ”

After hearing this, the aunt said: "Girl, this is your fault, men are under a lot of pressure when they work outside, and it is inevitable that they will be negligent to you, it's not a matter, hurry up and reconcile, it's so dangerous to see people carefully." ”

I glared at Gu Xi, he really saw the wind and rain, and he could handle any situation easily. Anyway, he would never have done such a thing as jumping over the city wall, so I let go of his arm and turned around and left, but before I could take a few steps down the steps, I heard the exclamations around me, and I don't know who was shouting: "I really fell!" ”

The heart suddenly stopped and the whole body froze, and the next second, the heartbeat was like thunder. I turned around slowly, the blood on my face faded by a minute, and the position was ...... No Gu Xi! My hands and feet were a little disobedient, obviously I wanted to lift my feet and step up the steps, but I couldn't tremble, and then I put my hands on the upper stairs and forced, and I really used to climb to reach the gap.

Straightened up and wanted to look out, but saw a pair of finger-bony hands tightly grasping the edge of the city wall, and his heart was shocked, and he quickly looked down, opposite Gu Xi's black eyes. I'm afraid there is no crazier in this world than this person, not afraid of the height of hundreds of meters below, actually hanging on the outer wall like this, he used his hands as the fulcrum, and his body bowed slightly against the wall, but he didn't have any effort.

Seeing my pale face, he teased: "Your face is ugly." ”

I glared at him angrily and didn't say a word, only I knew that I couldn't open my mouth, and fear was a psychological obstacle that people couldn't overcome. At that moment, the whole body was weakening, and it didn't recover until this moment.

Gu Xi was asking, "Do you want to pull me?" ”

After a pause, I held out my hand.

His dark eyes stared at me for a moment, and he said slowly, "Ready." Then his right hand was grabbed, and I was dragged forward, and the crowd behind me exclaimed, and pressed their knees against the wall, and the other hand joined in the pull.

After dragging the person up, I wanted to leave the person alone, but my foot stepped and turned back, grabbed his hand fiercely and dragged it all the way down, leaving those peeping eyes behind. The stairs were uneven, and when he descended violently, he staggered forward and rushed forward two steps, almost rolling down the steps, but he was pulled from behind and held his waist to stabilize his figure.

I didn't look back at him, my palms were sweating as I grabbed them, but I didn't want to let go. When I arrived at the lower platform, I looked at the continuous castle tower and chose to turn into the cable car passage.
