Forty-four, black bamboo ditch
Along the way, we heard a lot of rumors about Heizhugou, which surprised us unheard, I didn't expect that there were so many strange legends in this Heizhugou, but after a few hours, we arrived at the 616 Forest Farm Management Station safely.
After getting out of the car, Professor Zhuo led us and began to walk towards the tributary of Heizhugou, since the rubble was seen in the alkali cha river, then we didn't have to start the search from the foot of the mountain, just look directly at the upstream of the river.
"The water system in this area is dominated by Nahayimo in the upper reaches of the Guanliu River, a tributary of the Dadu River, and the Alkali Cha River, Muju Ditch, Baxi Ditch and Luosuida are distributed in the form of dendrites," Professor Zhuo apparently studied this, and gasped as he walked forward.
From 616 Tree Farm we headed north, where there was a waterfall and a spruce dam. And only then can we find the official road, and then follow all the way to the west to Shimen Pass. I glanced at the map and said don't you have to bother, let's just go west, why don't we just plug in?
Professor Zhuo shook his head: "This is too risky, this Heizhugou is an ancient glacier and karst landform, its terrain is gravitationally undulating, magnificent, and there are many faults and craters in the middle, otherwise how can there be so many people missing here?" It is estimated that they all fell into the pit and couldn't get out. ”
"Okay then, listen to you." As I heard on the road, according to incomplete statistics, since 1951, the exploration team of the South Sichuan Forestry Bureau, the Sichuan Provincial Forestry Department, the troop surveying and mapping team, and the Yi compatriots have been in distress in Heizhugou many times, three of them were killed and three were injured, and two were missing. According to the local Yi elders, in 1950, more than 30 remnants of the Kuomintang Hu Zongnan crossed the Heizhu ditch with excellent weapons, and no one survived after entering the ditch.
At noon, we ate a few slices of compressed biscuits and beef, and rushed away without stopping, because this trip I and Menyue Bin belonged to supernumerary personnel, so most of the equipment and camping facilities in the team were carried by us, I looked at Menyuebin's struggling appearance, thinking that the fuck was in the underground of Yongxiu some time ago, and you didn't crush me to death.
We walked for several hours with our heads down, and finally got up to the abandoned forest road, but as soon as I saw this road, I was completely blindsided, this I imagined that it was completely different, the road was overgrown with more than one person tall rhododendron seedlings, except walking, no means of transportation could pass.
"Don't take the road, keep going." We saw a stream of water crossing the highway, which was the water of the mountain spring left on the top of the golden roof, and we looked down again, only to see that the section of the road pointed by Professor Zhuo was actually a few hundred meters of flowing water ditch connecting the upper and lower highways, which almost made people collapse, and they couldn't see the top or the feet.
I said in my heart, you are good, just carry a tent, Lao Tzu will carry so many instruments and equipment for you, and you have to climb on the hard stone slope for more than an hour? Then you might as well let me die!
However, Menyue Bin also said it, but if you follow the road, the time it will take is even more incalculable. If you go from here, at least the water in the ditch can be drunk directly, and the road meal can also be arranged on the edge of the ravine, which is the most ideal place to eat, and maybe you can catch a few baby fish!
"No, no!" As soon as Qin Ge heard that we were going to eat baby fish, he hurriedly waved his hand: "That's a national protected animal, you can't eat it." ”
Qin Ge doesn't know what to say about him, he is a typical guy who executes justice in his heart, just like last night in Ebian, on the way back in the middle of the night, a few of us saw two people arguing, and seeing that they were about to fight, he actually rolled up his sleeves to help. Hey, what is this saying, it's a tendon to say that it's ugly, if you really go out of society, how can you live, it's still full of things around you, where do you get so many grievances and justice?
"Don't eat, don't eat." Menyue Bin smiled: "Brother, is that kind of person?" Brother likes to protect cultural relics the most. ”
I kicked the door, and the guy hurriedly changed his words: "Animals, animals." ”
The sea is constantly changing, and the ridge road is not easy to walk, and several times you have to step over the big trees on the road, which is very laborious, and it is quite a drain on people's physical strength and will. Fortunately, it is very comfortable to step on the thick moss forest, and the sun is right in the forest, which is very pleasant. After a short break, at 3:30 p.m., we arrived at Waterfall Rock.
In the waterfall rock, we saw the flow of the alkali fork river, the surrounding dense forest covers the sky, the forest sea is boundless, the ancient trees and giant vines are dense, the long river is like a waterfall, and the sound boom is like thunder. Then winding up along a canyon, there is the upper reaches of the river, wandering between the mountains and mountains, Menyue Bin is in a very good mood, and actually sings a mountain song with his throat.
The place to see is the rhododendron all over the mountain, this black bamboo ditch belongs to the mountain evergreen broad-leaved forest belt, more than 40 varieties of rhododendrons compete to bloom here, full of negative oxygen ions of the fresh air makes people feel refreshed.
"Where are you now?" I was verbose and interrupted Yaxing, who was in the door.
"It's almost time to get to Spruce Dam. But we may not be able to reach Shimen Pass tonight, and we will have to find a place to camp halfway. Professor Zhuo seemed to be in good physical strength with brisk steps, and he walked in the front, and from time to time he looked back at us.
In the evening, there was a light rain in Heizhugou, the rain was very small, almost negligible, but when you raised your head, it was like a thin veil floating in the sky over the whole mountainous area, beautiful and mysterious.
We walked for a day, but we were tired, but fortunately we were ready to camp and rest, I and Men Yuebin put down our bags and put the equipment in a dry area first, where Professor Zhuo took Lu Zhongren and Chen Xiaofei to start setting up a tent, first of all, the first thing was to choose the site, and soon Professor Zhuo chose a camp with terrain conducive to sheltering the wind, and built a bonfire platform in the middle, stacked some stones around it, erected some firewood, and built an artificial windproof wall. In rainy and foggy weather, the general branches on the mountain usually contain a lot of water and are not easy to burn, so Men Yue Bin took Qin Ge to the nearby ridge and the back of the mountain to cut some fluffy, high oil content of rhododendrons, oaks, arrows, bamboo, etc., saying that it has little water and is flammable.
After the tent over there was completed, sure enough, after a while, Mengoebin successfully lit the bonfire, and after splitting the thick tree pole, the split side was facing the fire, so that the raw firewood lost its moisture as soon as possible and was easy to burn. At the same time, insert two wooden sticks with a V-shaped top on both sides of the bonfire, and then put a thick horizontal stick on top of it, so that you can hang the rice pot and soup pot on the horizontal stick and roast while roasting.
I said, "You can, there's so much to do!" ”
"That can't be, or who gave you the fish at that time?" Menyue Bin seems to like to show his advantages in running a family and life, raised his eyebrows and said Wait, wait for my brother to get a gun and give you some game.
"Don't." Professor Zhuo stopped his thoughts when he heard that Men Yuebin was going to use a gun, and Professor Zhuo said that this place is still a forest area, and it belongs to the area where there are guards, and if you release the gunshots here, someone will find you and take you out in a few hours.
"That's a ball!" Kado was a little speechless.
After the bonfire was lit, I followed Lu Zhongren and began to build a shelter around the campfire, using the materials already available on the site to build a T-shaped frame, spread the top with oilcloth, and then find some wide plant leaves to cover the oilcloth. The shelter is covered with a thick layer of leaves, separating it from the ground and keeping warm. At the same time, some tree branches are woven into a reflective wall to block the wind and reflect the heat radiation of the campfire. That's it, the whole camp is pretty much done.
Then the full moon hung high, and night fell, and we ate fragrant rice, sausages, bacon, and a large pot of dehydrated vegetables and bracken.
Professor Zhuo also brought a bottle of liquor over there, and took a few sips while the rain stopped and the wind was light and the moon was scarce.
At 9 o'clock in the evening, after everyone dried their shoes and socks, they went into the tent to rest.
In the middle of the night, the forest is not as quiet as the book describes, and all kinds of sounds begin to play like a symphony. However, I was tired from the day, and it didn't take long for me to fall asleep.
I slept until 9 o'clock the next morning, or Men Yuebin called me up, a few of us extinguished the fire, packed our bags and began to continue walking, not a long way, we arrived at the Shimen Pass that involves the mystery of the ancestral home of the Yi people. I remember when I was on the bus, the locals told us that we should never go in Shimen Pass in foggy weather.
There is a poem as evidence: "The wind is light and the clouds are shining, and the fog is appearing." Ecstasy and danger, black bamboo ditch. ”
"What's wrong?" Menyue Bin was the last to arrive, and when he saw us standing at the entrance of the stone gate, he asked loudly.
"No way." We didn't seem to be at the main entrance, for we were following the river, and everywhere we walked were mountain trails, and now we were in front of us a field of artemisia and thorns of human height.
"It's foggy!" I don't know who said it at this time, I raised my head and suddenly saw that in the primeval forest with mountains like daisies, it was white for a moment, and there was nothing between heaven and earth.
In the mist, a white gravel road loomed out.
