Chapter 230: Moving Forward in the Night
He and Qin Xiao talked a lot in a low voice on the bus, but most of them were about this journey, such as how beautiful the sunrise above the golden top of Emei was, or how spectacular the sea of clouds was. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
I haven't been to Mount Emei, and this trip is fully arranged by Qin Xiao, so I don't know anything about the scenery described by Qin Xiao, but this doesn't mean that I don't know anything about Mount Emei, after all, I haven't eaten pork, and I've seen pigs run.
"If you're lucky, maybe you can find the martial arts secrets left by Zhou Zhiruo and them on Mount Emei!" I quipped.
Qin Xiao didn't say anything to my whims, just smiled slightly.
So the three-hour drive slowly passed in a pleasant conversation.
No matter how far the journey is, there will be a day when you reach the end. After the bus stopped, Qin Xiao and I got off the bus in no hurry.
The weather is like a child's face, it changes when it is said. The sun outside was so hot that people couldn't open their eyes before, but now it is raining again, and the rain is coming a little urgently, as if Mount Emei is expressing its welcome to the travelers who come from afar.
Immediately a small stream gathered on the road, and the rain hit it, and bubbles bubbled up. Wind and rain often go hand in hand, and a gust of wind blows when it makes people feel a little cold.
Although Qin Xiao and I both carried umbrellas, we were inevitably wet, and the wind blew on the wet clothes, and a chill invaded our bodies.
Even though today is the third day of the holiday, there are still a lot of people who come to Emeishan, so that when it rains, the eaves of various shops are full of people sheltering from the rain, and the shops also take the opportunity to drink hard, hoping to promote a few business.
Finally, when the rain stopped, the crowd that had been stranded by the wind and rain began to evacuate, and the previously empty crowd was immediately occupied by a flood of people.
The clothes on our bodies were wet, and Qin Xiao and I both felt a little cold, the key was that we hadn't had time to eat lunch in order to catch the car before, so we needed food to fill our stomachs that were already protesting, and we also needed energy to dispel the cold on our bodies.
It's just frustrating that Qin Xiao and I walked along the street twice, but we didn't find a suitable restaurant, but instead the stomach protested more and more fiercely under the temptation of the unique aroma of food.
It's not that Qin Xiao and I have too high vision, but the restaurants we can see are basically overcrowded, maybe because of the menacing storm just now, there are many people like us, who urgently need the energy in food to dispel the cold.
There was no way, Qin Xiao and I had to go a little farther to see if we could have a hotel with a slightly more comfortable environment.
It's just that there are many times when God often likes to play tricks on people, just like when you don't usually need to travel by car, all kinds of long-distance buses and short-distance cars keep dangling in front of your eyes, but when you need to take a car one day, you find that it is difficult to wait for a long time.
Now Qin Xiao and I are like this, we have taken a big circle around, not to mention the restaurants with a more comfortable environment, and we don't even see the restaurants much. And it consumes a lot of energy, and now we feel even more hungry.
"Didn't you already plan it? You should know a little bit about the environment here, don't you know where there are restaurants nearby? I raised my eyebrows, for there was no point in turning around, and it was getting dark, and it looked like it was getting dark.
"This, it's not in my plan, I just planned our route up the mountain......" Qin Xiao said with some embarrassment.
"This is the drop-off point of the scenic spots, such as food and accommodation are concentrated near the station, let's just stay away from here first, it is estimated that there will not be so many people." I frowned slightly.
In the end, we took a random bus and got off after a stop or two, because Qin Xiao and I saw a lot of restaurants and supermarkets along the way.
When you climb the mountain, you must eat something, if you buy it near the station, it will probably be a lot more expensive, and now you can solve the problem of food and clothing at the same time, but also solve this problem, which is naturally the best.
After eating, Qin Xiao and I recovered some of our spirits, and then went to the supermarket to buy a big bag of things, including snacks, biscuits, and mineral water...... There are so many things that it's hard to list them all.
Since Qin Xiao told me that she only planned the route of the mountain, she naturally didn't think about accommodation or anything, which made me a little big. There are so many people who come to Mount Emei, if you don't book in advance, I'm afraid it's not so easy to find a place to stay, and now there are at most two hours before dark, and it is very likely to be ripped off.
Sure enough, when Qin Xiao and I were struggling with what to do, many people came to ask us if we wanted to find a place to live, but we didn't refuse politely.
The rain was pouring down again, and it was a little upsetting, like those who had been trying to convince us to find a place to stay.
Maybe it was because he was bored, and in the end Qin Xiao decided to go up the mountain first and settle down at a place called "Qingyin Pavilion" tonight. It's just that we're still at the bottom of the mountain, and we're still more than an hour's drive from the ticket office.
Now that we have made up our minds, Qin Xiao and I went to the station to buy tickets on the mountain, and then waited in line to get on the train, perhaps because there are too many people going to Mount Emei, and the car will stop after a few steps, seeing that the sky is getting darker and darker, it really makes people feel a little irritable.
"It's all my fault, we didn't plan the accommodation problem at the beginning, what if we can't get to Qingyin Pavilion before dark?" Qin Xiao said with some concern.
"Walking in the mountains at night sounds pretty good, but I've been prepared, ......you see," I said to Qin Xiao with a smile, and then took out a strong light flashlight from my backpack.
Qin Xiao was a little surprised, as if he didn't expect that I would be so well prepared, even the strong light torch that rushed at night was ready. Holding the strong light torch in his hand, Qin Xiao seemed to feel a little relieved.
Maybe God didn't want me and Qin Xiao to sleep in the mountains tonight, although the speed of the bus was not very fast, but it kept moving forward, and finally Qin Xiao and I bought tickets for Rushan before dark.
Because of the previous rain, a white mist rose from the mountains at this time, making people feel as if they were in a fairyland, as if they could fly away with the white mist at any time.
We didn't walk long into the mountain, and a few more people followed, and when the sky was about to get dark, we met a few people from the same way, which made Qin Xiao and I feel a little happy in our hearts, at least the two of us were not the only ones shuttling in the dark along the way.
After all, walking in the mountains is still a bit scary after it gets completely dark.
It's just disappointing that the next few people booked a place to stay, and they didn't have long to go with us before parting ways. By this time it was already completely dark, and the shadows of the trees on both sides of the road looked a little like fierce beasts with teeth and claws.
After dark, the mountain path was a little quiet, it seemed that there were only two people on this road, Qin Xiao and I leaned in casually, and we walked almost side by side. I handed the strong light torch to Qin Xiao, holding the light in my hands in the dark, it always brings a sense of security. In order to divert the uneasiness caused by the darkness, we deliberately talked about some lighter topics, but these topics seemed a little pale now, which did not make Qin Xiao feel relaxed at all.
Maybe it was because it was dark, and the temperature in the mountains was a little low, but Qin Xiao and I took off our coats and held them in our hands, because we walked so fast that the water droplets that fell on us from the trees evaporated in a short time.
The half-moon hung high on the mountain, and the light and shadow cast under it seemed a little cold.
"The moon of Mount Emei is half in autumn, and the shadow enters the water flow of the Pingqiang River."
This reminds me of this poem by the poet fairy Li Bai.
"At this time, are you still in the mood to recite poetry?" Qin Xiao turned his head to look at me and said.
I smiled and didn't say anything, just looked up at the half of the moon.
"Eh, is there a guy up there?" Qin Xiao pulled my arm and said a little nervously.
Following what Qin Xiao pointed out, there was a fork in the road, and there was a person standing on the other road, and if you didn't pay attention, you wouldn't notice it at all.
The sudden appearance of a figure in this black light is still strange and scary, looking at Qin Xiao holding my arm tightly and looking nervous, I want to laugh a little, I said in my heart that you are not even afraid of the dead, not to mention that the person in front of you is still a living person?
After walking to that fork in the road, we could see a golden light through the jungle, and at the same time, there was a sound of people talking, which made Qin Xiao and I feel a little relaxed, because the two of us had been walking in the dark for so long, and finally saw the place where people were moving. And with so many lights on here, it's most likely a farmhouse or something.
"Young man, are you still in a hurry so late? Why don't you go to the old man's farmhouse and rest for the night, and then hurry tomorrow! See the light in front of you? The old man's farmhouse is right there. ”
When the man was talking, Qin Xiao and I saw clearly that it turned out to be an old man in his sixties and seventies.
Qin Xiao and I were vigilant, after all, how could we casually go with someone on this big night? In case this old man is a villain, aren't Qin Xiao and I sheep in the mouth of the tiger?
"Uncle, I want to ask you, how far is it from Qingyin Pavilion here?" Qin Xiao asked.
"Qingyin Pavilion, it's not far away, go down from here, and then go up from there. But Qingyin Pavilion is already full, I think you better go back with the old man, and rest comfortably after dinner, how good! The old man is cheaper for you, what do you think? The old man was talking to us, wrapped in tobacco leaves.
"In this way, uncle, let's go over and take a look, if Qingyin Pavilion really doesn't have a place to live, we'll go to your place again."
I said before Qin Xiao spoke, I was afraid that Qin Xiao would talk too much, in case the Yin Pavilion was really full, then we might really need to go to Longjiale to find a place to live.
Where is this old man willing to let us go to Qingyin Pavilion, naturally he will inevitably persuade us to go directly to his farmhouse, and use the price concession to attract us. However, Qin Xiao and I insisted on going to the Qingying Pavilion, because we were subconsciously a little uneasy about this old man.
In the end, the old man saw that Qin Xiao and I were tough, and even agreed to take us to Qingyin Pavilion, and while smoking along the way, the old man told us to go to their farmhouse with him at that time.
After walking for about ten minutes, a golden light sprinkled on Qin Xiao's faces and me, although it was not sunlight, it made me feel a little warm. Looking in the direction of the light, there is a building there, with red tiles and red walls, which looks like a palace.
It was from the palace-like building that the golden glow emanated, gilding everything around it. Against the backdrop of the golden glow and the sparse smoke that slowly rises, the palace-like building looks extremely sacred.
"Well, that's Qingyin Pavilion." The old man said with a pout.
While the old man was talking, a melodious and far-reaching bell rang from the building over there. When I heard the bell, my mind gradually calmed down, and the uneasiness and anxiety that had arisen as I walked through the night vanished in an instant. Not only that, but even the fatigue after the rush seems to have eased a little.
I turned my head to look at Qin Xiao beside me, her eyes looked at the light without blinking, and her originally slightly frowning brows had calmed down.
Qin Xiao and I stepped on the bluestone stairs and walked towards the light step by step, it was this incandescent light that looked unremarkable, but at this time, Qin Xiao and I felt extremely relieved and warm, so we couldn't help but want to get close to it. Perhaps only after walking in the darkness will you feel the preciousness of light.
Although we are getting closer and closer to the light, the sound of chanting and gurgling water gradually came to our ears, and at the same time, a quaint stone tablet appeared in front of us, with four big characters on it: "Shuangqiao Qingyin".
Seeing the stele, Qin Xiao and I were both shocked, and it seemed that even our steps were lighter. Walking up the bluestone stairs, Qin Xiao and I finally walked into the golden light.
Qin Xiao and I were lucky, because there were still two rooms left in the Qingyin Pavilion, a single room and a double room, Qin Xiao decisively wanted to get out of the double room, and the old man who led the way for us had to shake his head and leave.
Qin Xiao and I were a little happy at the thought of finally not having to sleep in the mountains tonight, and after paying the money, the service staff led us to the room.
The room is not bad, air conditioning, hot water, TV and other facilities are all available, the key is to take a look at the outside scenery through the window, but Qin Xiao and I still have half a minute to watch the scenery at this time, after rushing for so long, we are already too tired not to want to.
It's just that I've been tense in order to get here, but now that I've found a place to stay, my spirit has relaxed, and fatigue has invaded all parts of my body.
