By the time we were woken up by the bright and dazzling sunlight outside the bus window, we had already entered the border of Pingdu. We excitedly watched the scenery passing by on both sides of the road, in fact, there is not much scenery, everywhere still retains the winter-like depression, the branches have no leaves, trees have no flowers, but in the springtime but really feel the ubiquitous is surging vigorous vitality ......
Around nine o'clock, the bus arrived at the foot of the mountains of the The village is called Peach Blossom Stream Village, what a beautiful name, is not the whole village is surrounded by peach forests all over the place.
Peach blossom season, clusters of pink as a rolling soft ribbon, ribbon around the dance of countless calling buzzing up and down the fluttering of the bees and butterflies, how wonderful and wonderful.
The bus was parked in a small square in the village, and our group of 49 people marched along the clean asphalt road in the middle of the village to the foot of the mountain. The sky was so beautiful, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue.
The village is not big, the houses are neatly arranged, all red tiles and white walls, clean and comfortable. In addition to the main road, the path between the village for the green stone road, by a block of square with hemp points of green stone paved, heavy and simple, must be taken from the mountains.
The village road did not see much villagers, perhaps still at home to enjoy the New Year's leisure.
The path is very long, and after a while, the village was left behind. The road on both sides of a large orchard, because it has not yet sprouted, are bare branches, not very good judgment, but I think it must be peach trees.
Closer to observe carefully, but do not think so, each branch is a coo coo coo coo coo tip round like a small cannonball like flower spores, no buds of the trunk and branches of the surface of a glazed green, smooth and delicate, the surface of the peach tree should be rougher, the color is not like.
Obviously not a peach tree, is it cherry? With doubt, continue to go forward. This path, the slope is very gentle, walking up is very easy, just can be the body's tendons and veins activities open, save a climb to adapt to the mountain.
After the orchard, it is a neat wheat field, wheat seedlings have returned to the green, turquoise oil delight. After a wheat field, and then appeared a large orchard, or the same with the questionable fruit trees. Suddenly saw not far away there is a compound, outside the yard hanging a sign, written in four big words: Cherry Villa. Sure enough, it is cherry!
Near the foot of the mountain, and sporadically appeared a few houses, sparsely populated, the village's front stretched long enough.
Finally arrived at the foot of the mountain, listening to a teammate said, just passed the trail 3 kilometers long. No wonder, after walking for such a long time, before starting to climb the mountain, the body is a little sweaty.
Under the leader's guidance, we started to go up the mountain.
The mountain slopes are very gentle, the foot is soft soil and dead grass, not many trees, walk up a little effort, but there is not much scenery to enjoy.
The grass is dead all over the mountain, in addition to the beginning of the mountain place and a piece of cherry trees, the other trees are almost no, only a few sparse small pine trees, a small crown is still verdant, imagined that the peach tree is not to see a.
The mountain is a very beautiful place to see, but also a very beautiful place to see.
No scenery to see, walk a lot faster, not much time to the first mountain top. The mountains here are rolling, but they're not that high.
Near the top of the mountain, the slope suddenly steepened, the lower side of about forty degrees, here about seventy degrees. We used the hiking poles to stabilize into the soil, the other hand to hold the side of the small pine tree, one by one, also went up.
The top of the mountain is a small pine forest, the canopy is crowded together, and the wind is much stronger. Walking through the pine forest, only to hear the top of the head above the whirring and whirring, is the wind blowing the pine tree crowns issued by the sound, this is the pine wave it.
I was in the first half of the team, the front is a young and athletic leader led by about ten people.
When we a dozen people out of the pine forest, looking towards the second hill, suddenly realized that, close to the second hill, there are a number of red and green wearing a small silhouette in the upward climb. Couldn't help but marvel at how fast they were climbing!
Not to be outdone, we went after the ten people at the front, and between every two peaks there was a slightly lower valley that we all descended into to climb another peak.
When we climbed the second peak, we never saw our teammates in front of us, the slope was not too steep, not too rocky, and the danger was very small, we were not in a hurry, we were very relaxed, and did not take much rest, so we did not feel tired.
We arrived at the second peak, still did not see the front of the team, we walk they are also walking. We raised our eyes to the third peak, and sure enough, they had basically reached the top.
The second peak, covered with reeds, a large yellowish fuzzy rushes in the wind neatly to the valley, very beautiful, very beautiful, the wind a small, and then back, a look at the rushes stand straight, the wind will be mischievous and hard to pounce on them, and then they pounce in the direction of the valley, and so on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on.
A large area of reeds were walking teammates stepped down, flat on the ground, clean, clean, step on, and so on and so forth. I suddenly had an impulse to lie down on this reed woven mat, roll back and forth a few times, so that the whole body is submerged in this refreshing reed fragrance, the feeling must be extremely beautiful.
We went on to the third hill, which is relatively close and not too high, not much difficulty. By the time we reached the third peak, the advance party had already reached the top of the fourth peak and were shouting their greetings to us.
There were so many people in the whole group that there was a clear difference in stamina, and as we looked back, the last few people in the group were winding their way up the first peak. We had our own goal, and at the same time we were the goal they were chasing.
The few hills that we passed were barely a bit of green to be seen, except for the verdure of the pines. The bare slopes were earthy brown, the rocks were a dazzling greenish-white, the long thatch was dead, as were other unknown shrubs, and even the occasional gusts of grasshoppers were seen in the protective color of dead grass.
Bow your head and look carefully to see if there will be any wild greens. There is almost no wild vegetables, just unintentionally there will be a star of green flashing through the eyes, but some of the roots of the dead grass is still some hidden tender green leaves in the dead leaves between the probe, like a newborn baby, although delicate, but contains a huge vitality.
It's been a long time since I've been able to walk and walk and climb and climb. The sweat is pouring down on your face, and some of your teammates are directly changing into short sleeves. The first thing you need to do is to stop and replenish some water, and then rest for a while when you're tired. There's not much to see, and your eyes seem to have lost their effect. I don't know how many hills I've climbed, but I think there are about four or five, so it's eleven o'clock, and it's almost time for lunch.
We continued to chase behind the vanguard, and as we climbed up a hill, we suddenly realized that something was different. Everywhere we went, the pine trees were black, the shape still retained the complete shape of the pine tree, no leaves, branches, pine cones are all there, only the color is black. It was obvious that the entire tree had been charred and life had ended.
We stopped and looked around so much and were quite shocked. This hill, including the next, was black as far as the eye could see, with no hint of the pine's emerald color.
When has there ever been a fire on a mountain that has burned at least two small hills all over. It was with a heavy heart that we made our way through the dark woods; the grass on the ground was still withered, indicating that the mountain fire hadn't happened at least the year before.
A teammate whose hometown is nearby said the fire was lost two years ago, and it is unknown what caused it.
The roots of the withered grass are still showing a little tender color, the wildfire can not be eliminated, the spring breeze blowing again, this is a little bit of green is how valuable ah! By chance, I found a tiny side branch of a black pine tree even retained a little bright green needle-shaped leaves, and my heart actually thumped with excitement, it is still alive! What an amazing power!
In these two black mountains, in a black found four or five still have a breath of life force of the pine tree, they rely on the tenacity of life has come from the most difficult days, nature will certainly give them to give the two mountains a more brilliant tomorrow.
Lunch is not far away, the top of the mountain is too windy, you need to go down to the valley, and after eating, you go straight down from the valley.
There are two ways to go to the valley, one is to climb the last peak, which is also the steepest one, and go down along the side of the peak. The guys from the advance party had already climbed the peak, but they shouted to us that the mountain was very difficult to climb and suggested that we take the other route.
This other path was straight down from where we were, but there was no path, and we needed to make our own, and it was littered with burnt black dead pines, messy branches of other shrubs, and vining plants. It's like one of those primeval forests where you need a machete to make a path, but we don't have a machete.
One of the male teammates volunteered, he made the path and we followed behind. Then it was straight down, and the male teammate stumbled with his arms, legs and feet, plus his hiking poles, and barely managed to tear a small gash in the unstoppable plant barricade, in return for a large gash in the knee of the male teammate's pants.
We followed each other, tortoiseshelling slowly, with our right and left hands deflecting branches that came out of nowhere in either direction. The upper side of the blocking good, the foot and suddenly can not go, tugging a few times, can not be tugged, look down, the original is only a cell phone data line thick and thin vines to the entanglement. The power is so big that I can't stop tugging on it, so I have to take my foot out slowly. Walking, another one to be entangled, really makes people busy.
A lot of branches have many spikes, and sometimes I want to help a hand, just clutched in a splinter, and it was a scream. The smallest member of the team is a six-year-old boy, has been followed by mom and dad running in front, heard in front of the front was zapped wow crying several times, but still very brave, crying a wipe tears, and continue to run.
Finally through the cane array, there is a small piece of black pine forest. The black pine forest has seen the first ten people sitting on a stone hill rest. The first ten people are sitting on a rocky hilltop.
A head into the black pine forest, only to find that this pine forest is like the peach blossom array of Huang Laoxie, nowhere to foot, to this side of the walk, a lot of black tree branches blocking, to the other side of the walk is still blocked tightly.
Hand break a few branches, hand immediately all black, carefully arch over, not the hat was hooked to the branches, or backpack was pulled. The first is to be able to get to the top of the tree, and the second is to be able to get to the bottom of the tree. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands dirty.
A look at each other, can not help but look at each other laughing. White clothes, white hat on a mass of black, not wearing gloves on the hand, black, directly do not defend the color, that is, the face can not be seen, as not black. Into the pine forest array or people, out of the pine forest array into just out of the wood stove out of the roasted melon.
We cheered and ran up to the small stone bag, with a wet towel to wipe his hands, the used wet towel black scary. Whatever, it was about twelve o'clock, hurry up and eat. Sitting on the rocks, sunbathing, blowing the wind, but not very hot.
We ate while looking at the section we just passed. The last part of the team, where we climbed down to the valley, one by one, carefully moved along our footprints.
Being in the middle of an experience is a completely different feeling than being after it. When we were in the middle of the experience, we were the scenery for the advance party, and when we came over, the rear party became our scenery, and we became the people watching the scenery again.
We ate and blew for a while, the last team came. The appearance of the same lousy, clothes hat backpack shoes hand face, can black place are black.
One of the oldest teammates, 63 years old, very thin, they called her Tian sister. The body is really good, although the face is hot red, but did not say a word, the food to eat the drink, the walk on the go, no ambiguity. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that, but I think I'm going to be able to do it.
After eating, rested, downhill. The first time I saw the movie, I saw the movie, but I didn't know what to expect, so I didn't know what to expect, so I didn't know what to expect.
In the process of going down, accidentally, our seven female team members with the leader to go two forks, and so found that did not see the leader, to the surrounding shouted some, there is no response, may be a little far away.
The foot of the mountain has been very close, we seven have been going down must be able to meet with the leader. There are two youngest cousins in their early 20's, they lead, we follow.
Walking a little way to the side, we shouted a few times to see if the leader could hear us. The first time I saw this was when I was a kid, and it was a very good time for me. The leader shouted for us to go in which direction, and he was waiting for us.
It wasn't long before we finally saw it. It turns out that at the beginning of the leader found that we did not follow up, shouted, did not hear. I think the downhill is along so a two road, and immediately to the bottom of the mountain, walking can be assembled to a piece.
Soon to the foot of the mountain, walking in the village on the road, and tired and hot, I feel like summer has arrived, hot headache, this time the most happy thing is to be able to drink a cup of ice coke, but unfortunately can only think about.
When I met the sister-in-law of a nearby family, there was a water faucet in her yard, so we rushed over to wash our hands and faces. The water was so cold and comfortable that I really wanted to take a few sips.
I asked my wife if she could drink the water directly. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that, but I'm sure I'll be able to. I asked her where the water was, and I didn't wait to hear it, so I rushed to pick it up in a bottle, and I think I heard her say "mountain spring water", so it's not a problem to drink it.
Drink a mouthful of water, sweet and refreshing, that cool air along the throat straight into the stomach, every pore of the body are screaming: too good! I drank half of the bottle of water I received in a few gulps, not caring if my stomach hurt.
The warm-hearted sister-in-law took out her horse and let us sit in the shade to take a rest.
Then we talked about the peach blossom in Peach Blossom Stream, and my sister-in-law said that there used to be a lot of peach blossom trees, but then they were all chopped down and planted as cherry trees, and the cherries here are still famous.
The cherry harvest season, are outside of the people ordered in advance empty, the rest of the mold is not very good, the people in the vicinity of the name to buy away, their cherries do not have to go out to sell.
I'm not sure if you're going to be able to find the best way to get the most out of your life, but I'm sure you'll be able to find the best way to get the most out of your life, and I'm sure you'll be able to find the best way to get the most out of your life.
The village path to feel long, down the mountain back to walk, feel longer, how to go can not go to the head, how to repair so long road ah. Finally, saw our bus, excited really want to long whistle two.
Around four o'clock, we finally departed for home. The first climb of the year, tired, hot and happy, quite enjoyable.
The first climb of the year was a very tiring, hot, and enjoyable one.
