Chapter 5

The scenery of Qinglong Lake is still so beautiful, it looks like a piece of green jade embedded in the mountains, and there are some places on the jade that have blue circles - this is an underwater cave near the edge. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe mountains reflect the lake, and the lake reflects the sky, and it is a beautiful scenery that cannot be described in words. Jiangxia stands on the commanding height where you can see all this - this is a hill about 400 meters away from the lake, this gentle hill is about 150 meters high, the surrounding vision is wide, the lake and mountains are unobstructed, it is the first resort to view the scenery of Qinglong Lake.

The thirty-kilometer road to Qinglong Lake is simple and tight for Jiangxia, although it is a mountain road, the distance between the mountain walls on both sides is very far, and there is no fork in the road, and the ground is gentle and there is no slope. This kind of road is not difficult for an old donkey like Jiangxia, and it can be reached quickly with the mentality of touring the mountains and rivers - that is, it takes a day, starting at six o'clock in the morning, and arriving at this viewpoint at four o'clock in the afternoon. But the next part of the journey is to drill into the ravine, along the shore of the lake all the way into the mountains, and then you will step into the no-man's land, and after about 200 kilometers, you will reach the Sichuan Bazi, where you can end the donkey journey at any time, and of course you can continue to ......

It was getting late, and Jiang Xia's plan for this donkey trip was to be completed within three months. So he was not in a hurry at all, and walking at night was also a scruple of travelers, who usually did not go on night walks - they enjoyed life, not death. It was not good to pitch the camping tent on a high place, so Jiang Xia went down the mountain, found a relatively high and dry flat land near the shore of the lake, and began to set up the tent. It was getting dark very quickly, and Jiang Xia had already set up his tent before it got dark, and at the same time picked up some thick dead branches as fast as he could, and set up a small pyre to start a fire. He looked at the jumping fire, and then saw that the fire reflected on the surface of the lake, and from his point of view it looked as if a fire had also risen on the surface of the lake. "Disappearances. It's a bit disrespectful, but those two fools are well missing. I've been watching their TV series for a long time, and my eyes hurt and my head sank - are we really stupid? ”

After heating the food with a fire, Jiang Xia drank some water and quickly got into the tent wrapped in a sleeping bag and prepared to sleep - the temperature difference between day and night in this place is still very good, the temperature of more than 20 degrees during the day will drop to about ten degrees at night, and because it is close to the water surface, the humidity is quite large, and it is easy to lose body temperature. A good tent and a lightweight, warm sleeping bag can help hikers fall asleep quickly and regain energy, and the waterproof bottom mat prevents moisture from entering the tent.

Jiang Xia sighed very satisfied, his qualities as a senior traveler made him fall asleep quickly. The moonlit lake is quiet and beautiful, and a faint mist gradually spreads throughout the lake. But the surrounding environment was not very quiet, Jiang Xia was awakened from his sleep several times - the first time was the sound of snoring and stepping on small branches that woke Jiang Xia in the quiet night, as a senior traveler, he was very aware of this. In the course of his life as a donkey in the wild, he had encountered several wild animals, the most thrilling of which was that he once saw a leopard emerge from the bushes five meters in front of him, and if he hadn't remembered what to do with different wild animals in those manuals at the time, how things would have played out at that time, he would still be afraid to think about it - but there was also an irrepressible excitement and excitement, and the feeling of adrenaline rush caused by passing by death made him addicted, Maybe that's one of the reasons why he loves donkeys.

The owner of this sound is a group of wild boars, and the danger level is not low, but as long as it does not irritate them, there is no need to worry too much. Jiang Xia looked at the group of wild boars dozens of meters away from the crack in the tent door that was a little opener—the figure of this group of guys was quite obvious in the moonlight, and the group of wild boars arched around in the bushes, humming and looking for food. After the boar ran away, Jiang Xia returned to his sleeping bag and continued to sleep, but this time he put the camping knife and camping axe within reach of the sleeping bag.

The second time was the sound of an unknown animal, this time Jiang Xia found no trace of the animal, he only heard the sound of running and clicking teeth in the dark, and the dull sound of hitting the trees, but it lasted for about a few minutes and then disappeared. The third time it was another wild boar, and this time Jiang Xia didn't even bother to get up, just dimly watching the wild boar herd looking for food from the gap in the tent.

However, a rather loud snort suddenly woke Jiang Xia up, and he watched the wild boars in the distance quickly disappear into the shadows, as if they had never existed. Jiang Xia felt a little strange, but then he immediately became vigilant, and held the knife and axe in his hand, "Something that can make the wild boar run away...... Could it be a leopard? Still is...... South China Tiger?! "There is a card machine in the tent, Jiang Xia has never been a photography enthusiast, and the SLR will definitely not bring it - this thing is too big and heavy along with the lens, and it is not convenient to carry it in the donkey line, especially Jiang Xia, a donkey friend who travels medium and long distances. But if you can photograph the South China tiger in the wild..... Not to mention the wild South China tiger, even the wild South China leopard, that's also quite big news. But felines have always been the best hunters, and concealment is their strongest instinct, Jiang Xia was very careful to observe the outside through the gaps in the tent, his patience was good, just as good as felines......

The fog on the lake became thicker and thicker as the night darkened, Jiang Xia looked at the watch on his wrist and found that it was almost two o'clock in the morning, he had been waiting for more than half an hour, the wild boar had already run away without a trace, and after the prey ran away, it was estimated that the hunter also left - Jiang Xia did not find any trace of tigers or leopards for half an hour. Just when Jiang Xia decided to sleep again, he heard a voice.

It was the sound of water, the obvious sound of the water surging and sounding as if something was walking in the lake, as if Jiang Xia was walking in the children's area of the swimming pool by himself. "What is this? Could it be that the tiger is wading? Or is it that someone swims at night? At this time of the water temperature?! The sound of the water was quite obvious in the quiet night, and Jiang Xia could hear the things in the water moving. The entrance to his tent happened to be facing away from the lake, so he couldn't see what was moving in the water. Jiang Xia did not dare to move indiscriminately - under unknown circumstances, it was extremely undesirable to move around. He carefully pulled the zipper down at the entrance of the tent little by little, while his mind kept thinking about the disappearances of the previous months. The strange sound of water under the moonlit night made the curiosity in this guy's heart swell rapidly, and for a moment overshadowed the caution of the original veteran traveler.

The zipper had been pulled to the bottom, and Jiang Xia now had a chance to climb out and look at the lake behind him. A cold current poured into the open tent door, which was a mist rich in water vapor, which made Jiang Xia shiver unconsciously, "Hurry up and get dressed, this humid climate is really not easy to endure." He thought so, and quickly and silently got dressed and got out of the tent.
