Fifteenth, the Great Shennongjia

(Tomorrow I don't know if I can update it, so I'm sorry, so I'll lift the ban on a few chapters for everyone to see.) )

As the name suggests, Xiangxi Source is the birthplace of Xiangxi River, and when we arrived here, it was not completely dark, but everything in front of us was shocking. The place where we parked is a road, under the road is a drain outlet, the rushing stream flows down from the mountain, like a scene of flash floods, the stream of the source of Xiangxi is actually the drinking water of the Tujia family under the mountain, so there is basically a river mouth all the way down, but because it is a stream, the river washed out is not very deep, but it will definitely shine into a large landslide if it goes on like this.

"How so?" The fat man walked to the door of the scenic spot, and the staff of the scenic spot were in a mess at this time.

"We don't know, it's never been like this." A female staff member said, "Some small places in the mountains have been submerged, and if we continue like this, I am afraid it will be over." ”

"Where does the water come from? The source of the source of Xiangxi is from the scenic pass. ”

"No, I mean the source here."

"In the mountains, you can go and see."

"Look, do you think we're crazy?" I shouted.

But the fat man was silent, and he turned away from the staff member and asked me, "Do you smell anything here?" ”

"Taste?" Xie Chenhui interjected, "I heard that Wang Zhaojun went back to her hometown to save her relatives before leaving the stream, and when she passed by the stream and washed her face in the stream, she lost a string of pearls in it, and since then, the stream water is crystal clear and fragrant all year round. ”

"No, it's the smell of sulfur." The fat man sniffed, "Where do you say the water here comes from?" ”

"Isn't it beautiful?"

"I mean flash flood water." The fat man stared at me and said, "Right now, I'm not sure if it's underground water, so I'm going to take a look." If it's true that there are cracks in the ground as well, then it's a good opportunity to survey, because by tomorrow none of you are sure what will happen here? After speaking, he pointed to the bottom of the road, where is the mouth of the Xiangxi source stream, the drop is about nearly 10 meters, the water flows down from the mountain through the high drop into the deep pool below, and finally it is considered to pass through the mouth of the river, there is a waterwheel next to it rotates leisurely, it stands to reason that this is a scenic spot, but now the water of the waterhole has completely diffused up, and gradually touched the height of the waterwheel.

"Let's go." I gritted my teeth, do you care about this thing when the wind and waves have come over? Saying that, we rushed into the entrance regardless of the dissuasion of the staff, the road inside the source of this Xiangxi is actually a U-shape, we walked from the entrance to the end of the water source in a circle is equivalent to taking a turn, the whole process is not needed for half an hour, but now it seems that the situation is much worse than I imagined.

Walking down the stone stairs our feet have stepped on the water, the temperature of the water is cold and biting, compared with the underground river, there is no worse, stepping on the ears is almost all roaring sound as if it is a waterfall, looking at the amazing flow of water, none of us can imagine that this is actually a stream, at this time the night has not yet shrouded the trees between the mountains and forests swaying with the wind, the wildflowers in the forest are blooming, all kinds of flowers and trees are more and more presented with our footsteps, It is no wonder that according to legend, this was the washing pool of Yandi Shennong's when he was collecting medicine, and it looked like Shennong's herb house.

After a few steps we came to a commanding height, the highest water has reached our calves, the fat man said you all have to stand firm, although the current is gentle but it does not mean that the situation will wait a while, if you accidentally step on something you may be swept away by the current immediately. Xie Chenhui and I both nodded in correspondence, fortunately we soon arrived at a staircase up the mountain, of course, the gap in the lot also made this a place with the most serious impact of the water flow, the "Fourteenth Spring in the World" that should have been written on the stake has now disappeared from our eyes, I grabbed some plants and slowly swam to the top of the stairs and finally climbed up after a few struggles.

In this way, we quickly followed the stairs to a higher terrain. We held on to the handrail of the stone steps and looked at the water in the stream below, sighing, originally the mountains and rocks in this stream, the stream was criss-crossed, but now we couldn't see anything, and everywhere we saw was snow-white spray. The dwarf trees on both sides were also uprooted by the powerful currents of water.

"Do you smell it?" At this time, Xie Chenhui whispered.

"It's the scent." The fat man said: "There are many strange flowers and plants in this forest, plus the impact of the water flow and the wind in the high mountain area, in fact, the fragrance is mostly the fragrance of plants and trees, as for what the stream is fragrant, it is all nonsense." ”

"I know this!" I was a little embarrassed," but Xie Chenhui's point was that we didn't smell sulfur. ”

"No, the drop here is still too big and the water is too fast, we are in the high ground and can't smell it, let's find a place with less water to go down and test the water temperature later."

"You suspect it's a hot spring? The water here is all mountain streams that flow through the limestone cracks and are filtered and precipitated by the caves, so it's the same as the water temperature of the underground river, and you mean that if the water here is warmer than the water below, maybe there are cracks underground? ”

"Exactly." The fat man said, "Wait a minute, while it's still dark, let's hurry up." ”

"Action?" I smiled bitterly in my heart, there are huge boulders in the valley here, the largest is the size of a bathroom, they cross the valley and the river channel plus the ancient trees and some dead dead trees fall on those stones, so it forms a natural platform, so many photographers risk climbing to the rocks in the middle of those rivers to shoot the flowing water, but what about us now? That's not risking your life, you're risking your life! Because this is completely an act of seeking death.

"Actually, we can go to the source and check it out." Xie Chenhui said.

"What if the crack is in the middle? It's not too late now, but it's not bright either, and we can't see any subtle changes in the current. ”

"Whatever! You are the boss. Xie Chenhui was depressed and continued to walk up. Although he was depressed, I was secretly happy, because his unhappiness was obviously because his boss's thoughts were obvious! This is the rhythm of the king's death.

After walking this staircase, we are in a flat road, the same reason for the topography here is also the flow of water is also spread up, but unfortunately the water here is spread out of the river water, if there is really a hot spring, we can not feel it, so we are left only by the danger of being swept away by the water, but we are still next to the imitation wooden handrails made of reinforced concrete, we line up in a straight line to grasp the handrails and move forward a little bit.

After walking a distance, the fat man in front suddenly stopped. "What's wrong, I asked."

"There's a little observation deck there." The fat man said.

I listened to the fat man's words, turned my head, and sure enough, I saw that there was a completely submerged viewing platform not far in front of me, probably to meet the requirements of some photographers, this platform was built especially in the middle of the river, almost the whole place stood in the middle of the stream, and at the same time, because of this, it became one of the most seriously submerged places.

"I'll go." Xie Chenhui said bravely.

"No need, let's go, I'm too big to rush away." The fat man said, "Even if you go, I won't give you a raise." ”

"Poof~~~~."

After the fat man finished speaking, he squirmed towards that side a little bit, fortunately, although it was in the middle of the river, but during the construction, the cement floor on that side was also built very low for safety, just like the fat man said, as long as you don't float, you will at least not be washed away. The water flow here is actually a high school impact point, otherwise the staff would not have set up a platform here for people to take pictures, but now the water flow is very large and urgent, and the water is drawn in mid-air in an arc over a few meters in the air and brushed towards this platform. The fat man stood in the middle of it completely motionless, the speed of the water was like a huge wave hitting his face again and again, and the water under him was also rising wildly to the point that the naked eye could see, but even like this, we still saw the fat man constantly walking towards the middle of the platform.

"The boss is dead-eyed, and he won't let go of anything if he doesn't get the result he wants."

"But he knew the water was cold." I squatted down and wiped my face with a handful of water. I have to say that the water quality here is still excellent, I heard people on the Internet say that the source here is a pool, and the water in the pool is the place where Shennong's medicine is washed, although this statement is a bit absurd, but the water here does contain a variety of trace elements required by the human body. At night, there are even people who peddle water from the source, saying that girls can get rid of small pimples by washing their faces.

"Hungry!" Not far away, the fat man came from a burst of exclamation, I turned my head and saw the fat man standing in the water at this time, the water had overflowed his chest, he grabbed the handrail with both hands at the bottom of the water, but the water above the stream poured more and more, almost forming a waterfall, pressing the fat man to get up.

"What is he doing?" Xie Chenhui suddenly shouted, and I fixed my eyes to see that it was the fat man who actually bent down and reached out to touch the water source in the middle of the river at this time, and when we looked at that place, we also saw a faint water bulge.

"That's groundwater?" I shouted. But the fat man did suddenly float at this time, and the whole person was carried by the water to the handrail, and he stood upside down, which made him completely in the middle of the river. I was so frightened that I hurried over, but when I walked over, I realized that the low-lying platform was completely unwalkable.

"Fatty." I shouted.

"I'm fine." The fat man floated up in the water, showing a head, his water surname was good, but in this kind of place he was definitely not able to behave.

"Can you come up?" I asked.

"It should be fine, though." Poof, another wave, at this time, the figure of the fat man has completely submerged in the water. (To be continued.) )
