Chapter 14: Devil's Bluff
This night, I thought a lot, and I also suspected that the person in the photo was not the master, but I immediately dispelled this idea, one is that this person and the master look exactly the same, and the other is that Guan Hao said that the person in the photo has a problem with one leg, which makes me more convinced that this person is the master, if the appearance is a coincidence, then the wound will definitely not be such a coincidence.
I didn't get a good night's rest, not because I didn't want to rest, but because I had so many things in my head that I couldn't sleep at all. Thinking that I was going to see the master tomorrow, I still had a little impulse in my heart, and I also thought about how many things to say to the master, and I even thought of 100,000 things, even if I asked 100,000 questions, I couldn't think too much.
At three o'clock in the morning, we set off on time and took nearly an hour's drive from Ruoergai to Wangke Mountain. All the way to the horizontal mountains, only Wangke Mountain is a longitudinal insertion into the deep mountains of the mountains, the car stopped at the pass of Wangke Mountain, except for the driver, we all entered the mountain.
It looks like no one has walked on this small mountain road for a long time, and there are already sparse weeds growing in the middle of the mountain road. The terrain here is dangerous, there are thousands of meters of mountains on both sides, and we are walking on the mountainside of Wangke Mountain, if there is an ambush of bandits here, the people walking on the mountain road can only be captured.
When I first entered the mountain, the mountain road was still easy to walk, Guan Hao introduced this mountain road to me while walking, this mountain road is called: Old Separation Road, it is the earliest ancient tea horse road in the Tang and Song dynasties, and later opened up a new ancient tea horse road in the Ming and Qing dynasties, so this mountain path is no longer used. In the late Qing Dynasty, Bawang Tusi had spent a lot of money to build a road into the mountain, but before the liberation of the road has been bombed beyond recognition, not to mention that people can't walk by car, and now there is only one way to go to Tongqian Village.
There are seven cliffs on this road, and Guan Hao said that we must walk through the last Devil's Cliff before it gets dark, otherwise once it gets dark, we will have to spend the night on this path. It is not so easy to spend the night on such a narrow path, and if anyone sleeps and fights, they will fall into the valley and die in their sleep, which is terrible to think about.
Fortunately, there are only 60 kilometers of mountain roads, which is not difficult for me, but Wen Mo's body can't stand it, and he asks to rest for a while after walking for a while.
The cliff path looks more than 100 meters long, with only a thick board less than 30 centimeters wide, clinging to the edge of the cliff wall, and below is a bottomless abyss. It's not a good thing for me, a person who is slightly afraid of heights, not to mention walking on the board, even now I look a little dizzy underneath.
Guan Hao was the first to be the first to be a roadrunner, maybe he was used to walking, the speed of walking with a big backpack was not slow at all, and there was no difference between walking and peaceful. Then it was me, but as soon as I put one foot on the plank, I felt that my legs were shaking badly, and the other leg didn't dare to step up to anything.
Wen Mo reported that he was brave enough to be the second person to eat crabs, and he walked very aggressively in the first few steps, but he didn't go 20 meters, so he slowly squatted on the plank, and then simply knelt directly on the plank, changed it to crawling, and exonerated himself with words in his mouth, saying: "This wind is too strong, I can't stand." ”
As soon as I saw that Wen Mo was crawling, I gritted my teeth and said in my heart, go, if it doesn't work, I will also climb, although there is no wind here, suddenly, I feel that the reason Wen Mo thought of is so awesome, I don't know if the cliffs behind the road are like this, whether it can be used for this reason.
I also crawled over the first cliff road, no way, I also wanted to stand up and walk, but my legs just didn't listen to me, and after coming over, I walked in the mountain road, Wen Mo and I said: "The wind just now is really strong, you have to be careful." ”
I glanced at Wen Mo and the two of them laughed at the same time, Guan Hao told us to hurry up, saying that with the current progress, I am afraid that we will not be able to reach the last Devil's Cliff before dark. We didn't rest on the next journey, although there were two longer cliff roads, Wen Mo and I still climbed over, but there were a few that I still walked over, probably because the nerves had adapted to the environment here, so the fear of heights was slightly better.
Although we tried our best to go, God still didn't make it beautiful, and sure enough, Guan Hao said that before we reached the last Devil's Cliff, the sky was gradually dark. According to Guan Hao, we need to find a spacious place to spend the night.
The so-called wide here is a mountain road more than one meter wide, Guan Hao's backpack is loaded with several rope locks, he alone with a rope, climbed to a small tree above with his bare hands, and tied the rope to the small tree. After coming down, the rope locks were tied to each of us, and we understood that we were afraid that we would fall down the mountain when we were resting.
After eating some dry food and drinking some water, everyone lay down and waited for the night to fall, maybe I didn't have a good rest last night, or I walked too many mountain roads today, I was tired, and I lay on the ground and fell asleep for less than 5 minutes. It wasn't until late at night that I woke up and opened my eyes just in time to see the bright starry sky in the mountains, where there was no pollution in the city, and the stars in the sky looked so real.
got up and took a step forward, and then urinated towards the bottom of the mountain, no matter where Long Jiu slept or not, this situation is not so particular. After peeing, I just wanted to turn around and go back to sleep, and my eyes involuntarily aimed at the opposite mountain.
I saw a fire on the opposite hill, as if someone was holding a torch, and there was not just one torch, at least a dozen of them. Although the opposite mountain is still three or four hundred meters away from our path, the light of the fire at night is still very clear. I was in a hurry when I was in a hurry, and I just wanted to walk through this section of Devil's Cliff before it got dark, so I didn't pay attention to the situation on the opposite mountain at all, and when I rested, it was already dark, so I didn't have any impression of what the opposite mountain looked like.
The torches are still moving from time to time, and judging by the position of these torches, they are parallel to us, either on the opposite side of a mountain road of the same height as here, or there is a village on the opposite side. I didn't pay much attention to it, after all, it was the opposite mountain, although it was not too far from us, but there was an abyss in the middle, even if it was a bandit with torches, he couldn't come to us, so I went back to sleep and didn't pay any more attention to these torches.
Suddenly I felt that someone was hitting my legs, and when I opened my eyes, I saw that it was Long Jiu, everyone got up, the sky was already bright, I rubbed my eyes, stood up and stretched, and was facing the opposite mountain, when I saw the opposite mountain, I was immediately stunned, my scalp couldn't help but start numb, and a little cold sweat broke out on my forehead.
