The word traveler originates from the Internet, which is the homonym of the word travel for tourism, and is the name of outdoor sports and self-help independent travel enthusiasts. It refers to self-guided travel enthusiasts who participate in self-guided travel, general exploration, mountain climbing, crossing and other self-guided travelers.

Normally, this group is dominated by young people. But for Mu Shanhe, who is walking alone in the mountains at the moment, he is one of the few hardcore travelers in this group who likes to walk alone and is older.

Sometimes his friends often laugh at him: "After the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, I still love to toss like a young man!" ”

In the face of his friends' ridicule and incomprehension, Mu Shanhe often smiled and said: "People live for a lifetime, come in the toss, and go in the toss." While you can still toss now, then toss a few more years. If you can't toss that day, then life will be boring! ”

As Mushanhe said, his life seems to have been spent in toss. Today, he has achieved financial freedom. Compared with other peers, most of them tease Sun to enjoy the joy of family, but he is still alone.

Once upon a time, Mu Shanhe was also sad about this. But as he grew older, he began to enjoy this loneliness. Because of his life, there are not many people who are really with him for a long time, and many times he is alone.

When people are middle-aged, when loneliness becomes a norm, Mushanhe also enjoys loneliness as a kind of fun!

Looking at the mountain in front of him that carries the memories of his childhood, Mu Shanhe said with emotion: "The artificially cultivated forest farm is different from the naturally grown forest area, so let's go to the deeper forest to see!" ”

Don't look at Mu Shanhe who is over fifty years old, but he is still full of energy. It is precisely because of this physical strength and energy that he dares to become the lone ranger with the highest risk factor among the group of travelers, measuring the cliffs of the wilderness jungle with his feet.

Continue to walk in the dense forests in the mountains, and stop to look at the Mushan River through the jungle from time to time. Even if he is in a position at the moment, many locals have not set foot on it now. But he could vaguely distinguish where he was at the moment.

"There should be a fairy cave in front of you, and if you go inside, you should be almost at Tiger Rock. I don't know if I can find Tiger Rock this time in the mountains. After all, when I was a child, I spent a lot of time there with the old man! ”

Looking back, my feet, which were originally a little tired, have become much stronger and more powerful. When passing through the Immortal Cave, looking at the cave that was still deep and dark, Mu Shanhe was not interested in drilling into it to find out.

Because when he was a child, he and his peers in Tunli also went on an adventure. As a result, the immortal was not found, but he was almost lost in the cave. What impressed him the most in the cave was the dense bat and the foul smell.

Standing at the entrance of the cave for a short rest, Mu Shanhe chuckled: "It seems that I am really old, and I always remember the things when I was a child, alas! ”

A sigh sounded, and he continued to walk into the mountains, recalling his childhood memories. Because tonight, he plans to spend the night at Tiger Rock, the most impressive of all. When you go there, you can really reach the primeval forest area and enjoy the beauty of the more primitive jungle.

The most important thing is that he remembers that the forest farm cut down the economic forest back then, and in the end, it was not able to cut down there. At this moment, the Xianren Cave forest area was cut down by the nearby state-owned forest farm in the early years.

The dense jungle that I passed through before was planted by afforestation. However, in the eyes of those who are really familiar with the mountains, this kind of artificially created forest area still lacks a little natural and harmonious charm compared with the primitive forest area.

Just as Mushanhe was walking and stopping, observing how the mountains at this moment were different from the mountains in his childhood memories, the sudden mountain wind and the clouds that gradually gathered and rolled overhead made him frown.

"Doesn't the weather forecast say that the weather conditions in the forest area are stable these days? Looking at this situation, it can't be a change of sky, right? ”

Sensing that the weather was starting to become abnormal, and there was likely to be a local rainstorm next, Mushanhe was finally not in the mood to enjoy the scenery along the way, but accelerated his pace to find the destination of this trip, Tiger Rock.

Although the outdoor tent he carried could shelter him from the wind and rain. Mushanhe, who grew up in a forest area, knows very well that the temperature in the forest area at night after the rain will plummet, and the temperature will be a few degrees or even colder than the temperature outside the mountain.

The double-decker tent he brought with him was afraid that it would be difficult to withstand the cold!

Feeling the mountain wind whistling in the forest, becoming more and more noisy, Mu Shanhe began to look for the Tiger Rock in his memory, where the old man took him to spend the night several times. It is a natural cave, small in size, but a natural shelter.

When he stood on a high place and looked ahead, Huo Ran appeared a few boulders, which made him suddenly happy in his heart: "Found it!" ”

Walk towards the location of the boulder and soon reach the hillside where the boulder is. Looking at a cave that was already covered by vines, Mu Shanhe also knew that this cave was the Tiger Rock where he was going to spend the night tonight.

Tiger Rock is the name given by the villagers under the mountain in the early years, because the boulder on the top of the cave looks like a tiger head with an open mouth. But every time the old man comes here to spend the night, he will call it the Mountain God Cave.

In my memory, every time the old man stayed here, he would bring incense and candles to worship and pray for the protection of the mountain god. This kind of feudal custom, at that time, was still not understood and treated by many people.

Pull out the custom mountain knife you carry, and clean up the vines that block the cave first. In the early years, the vicinity of the cave was clean. Runners or hunters who entered the mountain in the early years would stay in this cave from time to time.

Although the cave is not deep, Mushanhe before entering the cave still took out the strong flashlight he carried and pointed it at the cave to observe it carefully. I found that the cave had not changed much from my memory, but it had become much dirtier inside.

"It seems that the cave is the same as the house, and if it is less popular, it will become unlivable!"

While speaking, Mu Shanhe took out a customized insect repellent tablet from his backpack, lit it with a lighter, and threw it into the cave. As the pungent smoke filled the entire cave, the insects and ants that inhabited it also scattered and fled.

Compared with ordinary mosquitoes and ants, what Mushanhe is really worried about is the long insects that may be lurking inside. The smoke of the insect repellent tablets has a natural repellent effect on snakes, insects, mosquitoes and ants, which is very suitable for use in this environment.

Taking advantage of the smoke filling the cave, Mushanhe, who put his backpack at the entrance of the cave, also seized the time to pick up dead branches nearby to use as fuel. Since you have decided to spend the night in the cave, you can't miss a campfire that can provide warmth and animal repellent effect.

When the firewood was almost picked up, the mountain began to become windy, and the thunder that sounded overhead from time to time made Mu Shanhe say with emotion: "The weather has become more and more strange in the past two years, and this forest area will not usher in extreme weather, right?" ”

That being said, Makiyama River, who lives in this natural sanctuary, is not at all worried. The terrain around Tiger Rock is not afraid of rainwater pouring into the cave no matter how heavy the rain is. The most rare thing is that you can't even feel the mountain breeze when you stay in the cave.

After confirming that the smoke in the cave had almost dispersed, Mushanhe found a broom made by Songzhi and carefully cleaned the slightly messy cave. Although the cave was not as dry as he remembered, he still felt that it was very intimate.

After cleaning the cave, he took out the incense candles he had specially carried from his backpack and went to the slightly raised platform in the depths of the cave, lighting the incense candles and worshipping respectfully. Such a scene is the same as when the old man stayed overnight in his early years.

When he was young, he didn't understand why the old man did this. But as he grows older, Mu Shanhe also knows that people live in the world and need to know how to be in awe. Moreover, this worship is not only a reverence for the mountain, but also a worship for the deceased old man.

So when he worshipped, he was extraordinarily religious!
