Chapter 18: The Dark Gap

How many people's dreams are trekking through Tiger Leaping Gorge? From the lower tiger jumping upstream, through the canyon between the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and the Haba Snow Mountain, you will arrive at Lijiang. This does not include me and Shen Qian, our energy and physical strength are really limited, and we can only glimpse in the standard safety scenic spot. With the amazement and shock of the scenery of Tiger Leaping Gorge, we drove to Lijiang, the last stop of our trip.

……

The first destination is the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Taking the cableway can directly take Shen Qian and me to the depths of the snow in the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Without cotton clothes to keep out the cold, I am afraid that I will not be able to go up the mountain easily. As far as the eye can see, it is snowy and covered in silver, as if you have entered a white fairy tale world. Nature's magic is truly magnificent, and it is a great impact on the vision. Shen Qian stepped on the snow and creaked, and stomped her feet with mist in her mouth. I put a thick coat I carried on Shen Qian's thin body, and held her by the hand to follow the tourists around. It is difficult to describe the mood at this time, or shock, or amazement.

"I love you Sissi, do you love me?" I was very excited about this situation, ignoring the other tourists' sideways gazes to Shen Qian. Shen Qian hesitated for a moment, and then I asked, "If you don't answer, I'll shout, ah?" ”

Shen Qian's lips were frozen and cracked white, she moistened her throat and said, "Aren't you afraid of causing an avalanche?" Don't you have common sense? I don't want to be buried in the snowy mountains with you. ”

"Is that your answer?" I jokingly pretended to shout.

"I can't love you, you have to say this on the snowy mountain. Qin Yuan, can you mature a little. Shen Qian's extremely serious answer made my mood plummet.

"I want to create some atmosphere, am I wrong?" My excited smile froze instantly, and what I thought was a romantic confession turned into a quarrel, which inevitably disappointed passers-by. Shen Qian's mood also fell into a continuous downturn and dullness. The second half of the tour of the snow-capped mountains was quite depressing, and the atmosphere was a little awkward, and we didn't have the heart to say more.

We stayed in the Old Town of Lijiang for two days in a row, and the last days of the trip were relatively loose. Shen Qian was a little irritable and didn't relieve it for a long time. We have seen the whole picture of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and the other scenic spots feel boring. Black Dragon Pond Park, "Mufu", including listening to Naxi ancient music and so on.

I remember very well that it was a sunny afternoon. Shen Qian's mobile phone is out of battery, we are going to Shuhe Ancient Town, and we are not at ease when we put it in our residence to charge, so she has to take it with her. The crowd made her feel very depressed, and I knew she was still angry about what was going on in the snowy mountains. Although I have been apologizing for the confession of Snow Mountain for the past two days, and I have repeatedly given in, she still does not give up. Shen Qian and I walked side by side in the flow of people, and did not hold hands as usual.

"Stinky rascal, why are you touching me?" Shen Qian couldn't help but speak, pointing to the nose of a burly man behind the crowd and scolding. I subconsciously pulled Shen Qian behind me to confront the man, and I never suspected that Shen Qian would fabricate and distort the facts out of thin air.

"I'm not a hooligan, what do you see?" The man stared at me fiercely, taller than me, much stronger than me.

"When you're away from home, can you pay attention to your quality? Is it reasonable to play hooligan in broad daylight? "I've heard that the Northeast people are ruthless, but I didn't expect them to be so unreasonable. The surrounding tourists found an argument in the crowd, and there was a great posture to watch a good show.

"I repeat, I'm not a hooligan, which of you has seen me a hooligan?" The muscles of the man's face twitched clearly, and he leaned in front of me with confidence.

"You touched my ass just now, and you still don't admit it, it's you." Shen Qian stood behind me and said with a dignified voice. Instead, he whispered in my ear: "Qin Yuan, don't talk nonsense with him and beat him." ”

"Should you at least apologize?" The two armies fought against each other and weighed their strength. Although I have no confidence in my heart, Shen Qian suffered first, and I can only rely on bluff to resist the other party's arrogance. Shen Qian's instigation put me in a dilemma for a while.

When I hesitated, Shen Qian coldly rushed to my side, and kicked the man's crotch viciously with lightning speed. The man subconsciously dodged, Shen Qian's kick did not kick the right part, but completely angered the man, the green tendons on his neck burst sideways and wanted to catch Shen Qian, but I was in a hurry to stop him with my hand. Immediately after that, I was hit in the face by a sudden punch, and my eyes were full of stars. I instinctively scuffled with the man, and the scene was very chaotic. The man's female companion sprang out of the crowd, fanning the flames before she knew what was going on. "Honey, cut him, give him some color and look." The man's female companion seemed to have discovered the clue and walked straight towards Shen Qian behind me. I used all my strength to move between the two of them, and shouted to Shen Qian: "You go first, hurry up." ”

Shen Qian responded weakly, and quickly walked into the flow of people. The woman took two steps forward and chased after her, and then turned back in despair, apparently in vain. There are more and more onlookers, and I hope that relying on public opinion can win back the decline: "Big guy, look at it, the public is playing hooligans and beating people, how can QTM be reasonable." My words worked, and the crowd began to talk, pointing at the man and woman. The man grabbed me by the collar and almost volleyed me into the air, and the woman heard the reason and began to question and challenge the man: "It's not that I buried you, and you don't look at you like that, have you grown your skills?" Still playing hooligan? Seeing this, the man threw me down and quickly apologized: "Misunderstanding, it's really a misunderstanding, the woman who ran away just now made up nonsense, don't listen to her fooling you." The woman was not angry at all, and threw down a cruel sentence and walked away: "Roll the calf, don't be too scared." ”

The crowd was gradually attracted by the two people who were arguing, and my eyes were calm again. I didn't care about the pain in the corners of my eyes, I looked around, but I couldn't find any trace of Shen Qian, I thought she should be hiding in a safe corner to observe the chaotic scene. It wasn't until ten minutes later, when I found nothing, that I began to worry about whether Shen Qian and I had separated. I panicked and began to search frantically through the dense crowds. "I'm sorry, I borrowed it." I walked along the stone road of the ancient town, pushing through the crowd of people to inquire around. "Did any of you see a girl who was so tall and pretty?" I gestured with my hand to the height, which was really featureless, and passers-by shook their heads. I had no choice but to shout along the road I came: "Shen Qian, where are you, Shen Qian?" ”

I heard a tour guide-like person in the distance introducing to tourists: "Shuhe Ancient Town, called 'Shaowu' in Naxi language, because the Jubao Mountain behind the village is shaped like the peak of the pile, and it is a mountain name village, which means 'village under the peak', it is one of the earliest settlements of the Naxi ancestors in the Lijiang Bazi, it is a well-preserved important market town on the ancient tea horse road, and it is also a living specimen of the transition of the Naxi ancestors from agricultural civilization to commercial civilization, and it is a model of market town construction formed by opening up to the outside world and caravan activities......" My shouts were drowned out in the noisy and noisy streets, and no one answered.
