I planned to go to Xiangxi together with the head of the road, and shoot some material to make a short film to practice. I'm not sure when G219 and the border highway were merged together, but at some point I saw a video of the new National Highway 219 being circulated. As for taking the Sino-Vietnamese highway along the border is not because of this, but last year's National Day to dig a pit for themselves ...... This trip has actually been prepared for more than two months, and finally nothing has been prepared out. A bite of teeth will rush on the road, I and the Taoist priest said: "I can't wait, the more I wait, the more annoying, and then do not go, the year 30 can not return home."
Day 1 Daitian - Minsheng Village
The plan was to leave on the 23rd after fixing the roof of the kitchen in Dahan, at the most. But in the end, it was delayed until the 29th. Because the previous has been thinking of some equipment to do before leaving, as to what equipment is not to say. When I was getting annoyed with the delay, I decided to leave and didn't want to wait any longer. I don't want to wait any longer. 28th overnight packing, 29th morning 8 o'clock departure. The village was quiet on a non-holiday day. There were not many people. I just left without a word. Along the familiar road down the Fangcheng, to Zhushan, all the way to 120 kilometers, arriving at the old border highway zero starting point when it is already three o'clock in the afternoon, hastily took a picture there to continue to go. Into the intersection of Fangcheng there because I did not pay attention to the fall twice, the broken road on the big trucks one after another without interruption, the road is paved with a very thick layer of gravel. Bicycle with luggage is also quite heavy, and finally skidding sideways, help me up I did not even look at continue to go, not out of the five meters on the car and fell once again. My palms were propped up on the gravel road to support my body, and even my palms were swollen. The pain lasted for two or three days. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that, but I'm sure I'm going to be able to do that," he said.
From the old village, the foot support is not suitable, parking is particularly troublesome.
The first day of the road is not difficult, except for the formal entry into the border highway after the Dongxing. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this, but I'm going to be able to do it again. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to get a good deal on the way to the next level, but I'm sure you'll be able to get a good deal on the way to the next level. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that, but I'm going to be able to do it," he said.
I did not pay attention to the next is the dog meat store, no other meaning, behind the waiting kiosk is the dog meat store to raise the dog, a night the dog is inexplicably crazy barking, I do not understand those stupid things in the wild barking what. Although they can't get out to bite me, it's distracting to hear and interferes with sleep. The people next door also have dogs, and they follow the crazy dogs in the yard at night. There are also dogs from farther away, I don't know where, barking along with them. The first thing you need to do is to get the best out of them, and then you'll be able to get the best out of them, and then you'll be able to get the best out of them.
In addition to these, the first day, the first camping is quite smooth, cooking a bowl of rice to eat, simple and very. The first day, the first camp went well, cooking a bowl of rice to eat, simple and very simple. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this, but I'm going to be able to do it," he said. It's tasteless. Just enough to fill my stomach. I don't care about energy or nutrition at all. The best thing is not to starve. After all, no one knows how long that two hundred dollars will last. Can't go all the way to the past.
In the morning, I got up early and made a fire with a flashlight to cook, and the dog next to me was barking at me again, almost running over. I ignored it and just cooked my own food. The fog was thick and the rain was drizzling. This kind of weather gives no incentive to set out. An old man on a motorcycle came to the bus shelter and asked me if I had seen any shuttle buses to Dongxing. I said there was one just now, not long ago. He muttered that he would have to wait for another half hour. He asked me about this and that, so I spoke Hakka with him. This roughly will make me feel a little more intimate.
Day 2 Minsheng - Nali Village
From Dongxing, the road to Tanshan is quite difficult to walk, all the roads are under repair, there are a lot of big cars, wind and dust. The first time I saw this, I had to walk up a short stretch of road from Minsheng Village. The fog is very thick, especially in the mountains. The visibility on the way to Saddle Pass was very low, and my clothes were wet inside and out. The rear tire was punctured at some point. I'm not sure what I'm talking about, but I'm not sure what I'm talking about, and I'm not sure what I'm talking about.
Repairing the car
The days of going to Xinjiang are so long that I don't know when
Ma'an Pass, only a large stone left standing on the roadside, blurred only to see the four words "Xingbian Fumin", and the name "Ma'an Pass" is already The name "Ma An Au" has been drowned by the old age. The clearest thing is actually the words "I miss you", who are you? Who are you? Who do you miss? That has nothing to do with me. I'm back again, only half a month apart, remember the sunset, turn around and return alone. Now it's like a continuous journey. I ate a mouthful of cold food, went down a long, cold slope, and saw the shadow of the sun only when I reached the center of the mine. This moment only have so a trace of warmth.
The talk asked me where I was, and I said I had just left the mine. I was determined to head for the love store, and I was too lazy to cook noodles or anything else. I bought a few bananas in the town, which are very difficult to eat, to prepare for the long slope behind Dongzhong. Talk about a dozen kilometers of slopes ahead. I was probably numb and didn't feel much. All the way up. Along the side of the road book is the direction of the border crossing to take the patrol road to the location of a boundary pillar, where it is necessary to climb a very lovely curved slope, but I do not want to climb the slope at all now, and besides, talk about the earlier has already walked past, because of the epidemic of the boundary pillars have been declined to visit, not to go to the same thing.
The slope is still too aggressive for a body like mine. Completely overestimated themselves. In that pear see there is a waiting kiosk, they thought to go to the family to get some water on the camp here.
Said to be a village, but hidden in the village slope of the small market really gives a kind of surprise. The market is a small market hidden on the slope of the village, with hotels, hardware, and vegetable markets. Pushing a cart up there can attract all kinds of strange stares. I forgot what I wanted to buy.
In one of the big car filling water store to get some water to start cooking noodles and rice. I went to the market and bought an aluminum "rice bucket". The idea was to make a bucket of rice in the morning to save time on the road. Although the food is cold, but ...... can fill the stomach is good, I do not have high requirements for these. After all, it is not a person with money to enjoy, but also still need to catch up a little bit of the road, slowly estimated that the first day of the year can not return home.
That pear of the hotel also have riders landing, I saw parked in front of the hotel in the two bicycles, traveling light. I didn't see the owner of the car until the next day. By then I had already packed my tent. A young man came up to me and said he was also riding along the border highway to Yunnan, and asked me if I was coming from the Dongzhong side. They took a day off in Na Li and did not travel together.
Day 3 Na Li - Pingxiang
The road out of Na Li has a lot of ups and downs, and then long slopes, all the way winding through the mountains and along the river. Arriving at Aidian was already more than 2:00 pm, and after a short adjustment at the gas station, we headed for the long journey to Pingxiang. This is destined to be a night ride, and I forgot why I had to rush to reach Pingxiang at night, but I just wanted to take a rest in Pingxiang, stay in a store, wash my clothes and so on, and recharge my batteries. Mr. Yang lent me a rechargeable battery, two 26650 batteries, I also have a rechargeable battery, one 26650 battery. But this cell phone eating power really makes me a little less satisfied. The checkpoints along the way became unusually dense, and in the middle of the night I was chased and molested by a yellow dog at one of the checkpoints. The security officer told the dog to ignore me, but after all, it is still a dog ah, do not listen to him, all the way to chase me out of the checkpoints have a distance before stopping, in my back barking.
I don't know how many hills I've climbed, but it seems like I'm riding more efficiently at night. Like a robot, pedaling mechanically, it took the occasional heavy pedal to make you realize you were on an uphill road.
When did I start traveling this far in stars? I guess it was the single day 400km ride in '18, and the overnight night ride home from Guilin. A lot of people would resent such a toss-up, I guess, including those who also ride bikes, not to mention those who don't, and resent it so much that they can't understand such a mindset at all. What the hell is it for? I didn't figure it out either. It is estimated that in order to prove that they still have the ability to use the soul to support a weak body over the mountains, or with the stars and the moon for the long night is not lonely.
At eleven o'clock in the night in Pingxiang city. I have planned to find a 24-hour convenience store to sit overnight, and then go to the hotel the next day. This saves money.
But this cold night is a bit hard to get through. Sweat soaked pants, the whole night is cold, how to sit are not comfortable, occasionally too sleepy to take a nap, in fact, not long, a moment to wake up. Next to the milk tea store young people are still talking and laughing, until very late in the evening has not gone.
The pot of rice in the mountain is finished, there are still two packages of squash left. In the convenience store to buy a few packets of cookies to drink water to temporarily hold out for a while until dawn. I should be grateful that it didn't rain, it would have been even more difficult. Especially at 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning, I was very tired, sleepy and cold. Two chairs and no table in front of the convenience store was not what I expected. Not even a place to lie down for a while and rest.
Three days without washing hair, stereotypes
On the map to find a hotel, see check-in time early to see. It was hard to find one with a ten o'clock check-in time and booked it right away.
Mr. Yang was already at his father-in-law's house in Detian, with Mr. Ning. He asked me where I was, I said in Pingxiang, do not come to me, I am not going back. I'm not going back. Earlier, because of the epidemic, Mr. Yang advised me to go back to Pingxiang when I got there. He said it was a bit risky over there in Daxin. There are because of Anning Township across the Vietnam appeared a few cases, grass and trees. The day the national highway wasn't closed I was going to go all the way down there, how could I turn back. I also wanted to curse if this was the curse of death and why everyone I knew was riding to Pingxiang and ending their journey along the border highway. I'm not convinced, I'm not convinced in a billion ways.
Day 4 Rest
How could I have been so stupid about washing and drying clothes in a hotel? There was a washing machine in the hotel and I had to ask the owner for the air conditioner remote control. No? Fans are fine. But that doesn't always dry the clothes.
I didn't really want to pick up Ms. Ning's WeChat voice in the afternoon, I didn't want to listen to the words they used to persuade me to go back. But I still picked up, WeChat that end, Mr. Yang said not to catch me back, just come over to invite me to eat a meal. From Shuolong, to Pingxiang, walking dozens of kilometers of bad road over to invite me to dinner, is really touching.
Mr. Yang said ShuiKou went up a section of the road closed, need to go around to the town of Jinlong to go, I see the map does not go on it, by the way, passing through the Ming Shi Tianyuan.
Mr. Ning asked me how to run to the center of the city to live, I think this is not "downtown" ah. The first thing I'd like to do is to get the best out of the city, and then I'd like to go back to the city and get the best out of it. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to get a good deal on the way back to the hotel. I walked back to the hotel by myself, through the dynamic music of the square dance, and the unknown big sister and big brother selling ointment in the square. Surrounded by a circle of young and old, small children watching the so sublimely, middle-aged and old friends are not willing to show off to hold a scene. I can't watch, I have to go.
Passed by the candy stalls, want to buy some candy, but see those noble prices let me completely unacceptable, pick up the basket and put down without hesitation, a long sigh to leave.
Day 5: Dongxiang - Shuikou
Early in the morning, I got up and went to the supermarket to buy noodles, the next meal. I want to go to the Internet cafe to the code table to download the track as a navigation, so as to save the frequent use of cell phone cumbersome operation. To know every time you open the Baidu map to see an advertisement is very annoying. Moreover, the power consumption is also large. It is hard to find an Internet cafe but did not come to business hours, I first saw not twenty hours of business Internet cafe, I probably already do not understand the Internet cafe. Just like the last time I went there, I already don't even know how to turn on the computer.
Dazhongshan is not difficult to turn, there is a tourists station on the top of the mountain, I did not go in, and then a little bit ahead of the place to rest, cooking a bowl of noodles and then down the mountain. The first thing I'd like to say is that I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this, but I'm sure I'm going to be able to do it, and I'm sure I'm going to be able to do it. After passing the big green hill, there are a large area of sugar cane fields, which have been harvested and are being harvested, and a dozen people are gathering together to cut the sugar cane, which I haven't seen for a long time. I have not seen such a scene for a long time. More than twenty years ago, when people in the village were still cutting sugarcane, and my mom was still planting sugarcane in the field, I had no idea what to do with it.
The big brothers and sisters who cut the sugarcane were all casting strange glances at me, and their hands were skillfully peeling the leaves. Bundles of sugarcane were loaded on the car, truckloads of sugarcane were transported, truckloads of sugarcane were unloaded at the transit site, and the theme of the winter ride in the big sugarcane province was related to these sugarcane.
I found a stop at a gas station on the outskirts of Shuikou, which is supposed to be an abandoned car repair station. The proximity to the gas station is the best, the bathroom, water are solved. The first thing I did was to go to the hospital, and I was able to find a way to get to the hospital, and I was able to find a way to get to the hospital. I cooked a big bucket of rice for myself and ate it all. The amount of rice in one meal is equal to the amount of rice in the previous day. Auntie Xiao Miao used to nickname me "the baby who can't be hungry", and she was absolutely right.
I was going to ask where Xia's store was so I could buy some steamed buns from her the next morning, but suddenly I wanted steamed buns. Two steamed buns can also walk dozens of kilometers it, affordable. The group a burst of small talk, I will be rushing hot water and charging on the packing of things in the direction of the Xia sister's home to go.
It's already 9:00am and 10:00am when we arrive at the location Xia Xia sent us. After a few twists and turns, the two people finally met. The first time I saw the car, I saw the car, and then I saw the car, and then I saw the car, and then I saw the car, and then I saw the car, and then I saw the car. She took me to find a campsite. It was in a row of unused houses along the highway, with water and electricity, a little better than the gas station, at least I could recharge my batteries. The tent is again re-erection, hit the water to wipe the body will be under the good, no hot water bath.
Here should be used as a store, huge glass door, was used to screw the box patch lock up, I and Xia sister said the problem is not big, with a screwdriver to loosen the screws out of the door, put the car into the door and then close the door, on the good screws, tomorrow also so on the line. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that, but I'm sure I'll be able to.
This is the end of the day, lights out and go to sleep.
When I woke up again, it was bright outside the tent, and I looked at my cell phone at 5:00 a.m. I pulled the tent open, and it was the familiar moonlight and stars. Like another kind of day, another world of day. The moon was hanging over the hills far beyond the huge glass door. Touching is as simple as it comes. How many people can understand you. I can't remember this scene on my cell phone, so I can only carve it into my memory and leave it in my words.
