Chapter 55: Companionship

Kuikui Town, the most populous town in the four towns and five villages in the Sichuan-Hubei Roof Forest Area so far, the total permanent population of the Sichuan-Hubei Roof Forest Area is about 100,000 people, and the permanent population in Kuikui Town alone accounts for more than half of the total permanent population.

"When I go back, I want to take a plane back...... Zhao Chensi complained with a big bag on his back and his old waist that was almost broken, "Even if I have to go around a long way, I don't want to take a bus again in my life......"

Wan Qi on the side rolled his eyes: "Then you still have to find a hotel to sleep in, there is everything in your dreams, even if you take a plane back, you can't avoid taking a bus to the airport in the surrounding city first......"

It was now 5:47 p.m., and after a long journey of more than nine hours, Zhao Chensi and Wan Qi had finally arrived at their destination...... The town next to it, about seven or eight kilometers, is looking for a hotel to stay at tonight.

They didn't get off the bus to charter a private car or take a ride from the villagers to the mountains to find Changsheng Village, first of all, because of the time problem, now five or six o'clock can be regarded as nighttime, even if it is the middle of summer when the days are long and the nights are short, the night will come later than other seasons, but the rugged mountain road is not a wise choice whether it is walking the mountain road under the dark, or touching the mountains and jungles at night.

Then there is the traffic problem, which led to the collective relocation of Changsheng Village at the beginning, and there were inconvenient transportation factors, and before the complete abandonment of the village, this small village with only 100 people in the closed mountains, the villagers have tried to build roads and open to traffic more than once, but in the end, they are all due to the fact that the site selection is not accurate, the construction funds are insufficient, and the difficulty of building the road is too large, and the mountain road is only the mountain path that the villagers walked out.

Therefore, even if they charter a private car or take a trip to the villagers, it is impossible to send them directly to their destination, that is, the entrance of Changsheng Village, at most, they will take them for a while, and when they reach the section where the vehicle cannot drive, they will have to move forward on foot.

The rest of the trail is not a mountain crossing, but it is inevitable that you will have to walk a lot of mountain trails and jungles that are not roads at all.

It's easy to get lost in the jungle where there are almost no iconic references, not to mention whether you should find a guide to lead them to Changsheng Village, even if you don't find a guide, you have to have a local map, and you have to ask the locals which direction Changsheng Village is in the southeast, northwest, and how to get there, right? Otherwise, as soon as you enter the mountains and forests, you will be blind and lost, and if you are lucky that your mobile phone has a signal, you can wait for the rescue team, but if you are unlucky, they will have to bury their bones in the mountains and forests.

Therefore, in Zhao Chensi's plan, the first day of arriving at the roof forest area of Sichuan and Hubei is to find a hotel to rest, make a map, find a local person to inquire about the location of Changsheng Village, and make preliminary preparations.

Even if you die, you have to be prepared! Doing without dying is the essence and true meaning of death!

This is the concept that Zhao Chensi has always practiced.

is probably one of the reasons why he hasn't played himself to death so far......

Zhao Chensi walked on the paved pavement of bluestone bricks with his bags on his back, maybe it was really because he was away from the hustle and bustle of the big city, or maybe it was just a psychological hint that he simply came to the town, where he could not only enjoy the scenery of Cangshan hidden in the clouds and mist in the distance, but also had a unique atmosphere in the town that could easily make people feel relaxed, and the slightly sweet and fresh air also made him feel that he was suffering from urban haze, car exhaust and second-hand smoke pollution of his lungs. There is a bit of a purifying feeling.

Even the temperature feels four or five degrees cooler than in the big city.

Compared to the steel forest full of high-rise buildings that squeezed the sky to a narrow squeeze, where car exhaust and industrial emissions were everywhere, and everyone was overwhelmed by the fast-paced state of life, the town of Kuikui was for outsiders...... Especially for outsiders who adapt to the fast-paced city, it is indeed a good place for people to unload their physical and mental burdens and experience retirement life in advance, but the feeling of washing the lungs is purely psychological.

Of course, it's true that it's cool, and the heat island effect here is not as strong as in big cities.

When Zhao Chensi and Wan Qi crossed the three streets with their bags on their backs, they soon found the hotel where they stayed, and after leaving their bags in their respective hotel rooms, they slipped into the street again.

Zhao Chensi looked around at the street storefronts that were deliberately decorated with a retro style: "Actually, if it weren't for the next adventure arrangement, I would still like to live in this town for a few more days......"

"We can all stay here for a few days now if you want." Manki also has a very good impression of the town and is not opposed to the proposal to stay a few more days.

"Forget it, it's not too late to talk about these things when we return from the expedition." Zhao Chensi waved his hand and turned a corner under the guidance of the mobile phone navigation, "When I checked the strategy before, I also found that there are hot springs to soak in, but unfortunately it is still summer, and there is basically no interest in soaking in hot springs......"

After a while, they came to the entrance and exit at the other end of the passenger station, this side of the road directly connects to the highway into the forest area to other tourist attractions, is the only way for tourists to enter other towns and attractions in the forest area, so you can see many vans and private cars parked at the intersection with the sign of 'chartered car', and even see a few electric numb mixed in the motor vehicle to solicit business (also known as electric tricycle, three jumpers, Yandu dialect). )

Wan Qi's eyes lit up when he saw those signs, and then he aimed at a van driver and asked, "Master driver, can you charter a car here?" We're going out tomorrow and want to charter a car......"

"Kuoyi, where do you want to go?" The middle-aged driver looked quite kind, and answered with a smile, "If you don't know, I can also be a guide if you charter a car, and take you to play as a local scenic spot......

Seeing that the driver wanted to continue, Wan Qi hurriedly shook his head and interrupted him: "No, no, we have our own route." It is the village of Changsheng, which is famous for its longevity and is now abandoned. We just wanted to charter a car that would take us there, and by the way, we couldn't find a guide......"

"What's so interesting about that abandoned village! Don't go, don't go! Unexpectedly, as soon as he heard this, the driver's brows immediately wrinkled together, his face was full of surprise and disgust, and he waved his hand to drive away Wanqi, and he was still muttering in his mouth: "You go find someone else, I really don't know what the young people are thinking now...... If you don't go to tourist attractions, you have to go to a place where there is no road......"

I asked several drivers in a row and got rejection, which made Wan Qi feel a little strange: "Is there really any supernatural place in Changsheng Village?" So the locals are reluctant to run anywhere? ”

Zhao Chensi carefully recalled the details of the negotiations between his friends and the drivers before, and then thought of the strategies written by other travelers on the Internet and the fact that Changsheng Village was inaccessible, and then rolled his eyes: "I probably think it's not easy to walk on a run, and it doesn't matter how much money you make......

"Hey? Are you also going to explore the Immortal Village? ”

Just when Wan Qi was a little confused by the rejection of several drivers, a young man with a brown and yellow bag on his back and a straw hat on his head came over to greet Zhao Chensi in a friendly manner.

The young man in the straw hat was very burly, with a high nose bridge and deep eye sockets typical European features, but he spoke very fluent Chinese, and he gave a thumbs up and pointed back to a van: "A few of us are also going to Changsheng Village tomorrow to explore, do we want to go together?" ”
