Black Bamboo Gully Adventure

(I)

The ninth day into Heizhugou.

The sun is shining overhead, the exploration team stopped to rest. Shen Rou took the kettle to the stream to receive water, the mountain stream water is sweet, compared to the mountain outside the businessmen advocating the deep mountain spring water is simply impostor. The work of the exploration team has been completed almost, along the water flow south to Yiwu village to rest a little, replenish some food and medicine, continue south is the West River town, where there is a car to the county, and then you can go back to Chengdu.

Nine days of trekking in the mountains, the body scattered a force, Shen Rou now miss the Chengdu bed.

"Sister Shen, it's raining." Mao Monkey shouted at her. Mao monkey looks tall and thin, surnamed Hou, Shen Rou has always had a doubt, should be called thin monkey is. "I'm not going to fall for that." Shen Rou responded.

The hairy monkey is the team's living treasure, usually love to joke, especially love to joke with Shen Rou, but at any time there may be danger in the tense nerves of the exploration journey, is not a taste of decompression agent.

Shen Rou words just finished, overhead crackling sound came, she knows this is the sound of raindrops hitting the leaves. The weather in the mountains is also strange, in the blink of an eye from a sunny day to a downpour. Shen Rou returned to the team and rummaged out her raincoat to put it on.

The sound of the rain hitting the leaves is getting louder and louder, like firecrackers playing in the ears, playing a snare drum, the sun is rapidly receding, the black clouds are pressing down, and a layer of dense rain fog has risen in the forest. The eyes instantly went black, and the only sound heard in the ears was the rumbling and booming.

"Team Chen, I think something is wrong with the sound." Mao Monkey said to Team Chen. Chen Du, the leader of this exploration team, had conducted many field exploration and was experienced.

"Everyone bring your things and don't leave the team." Chen Du said.

As the sound of rumbling increased, everyone understood that it was the sound of water, which was rushing from the front. The water vapor brought by the current swooped over, and the several-meter-high water waves arrived instantly, like a beast with an open maw, to swallow the exploration team.

Shen Rou backpack, the front of the strap is also tied, all the medicines are inside, heavy things are in the hairy monkey. In case everyone is injured, these medicines are life-saving ...... This was Shen Rou's last realization before she was knocked out by the water waves.

The body hurts so much, as if it is scattered and put together, the hand can be lifted up, but the arm can not be lifted up, as if it does not belong to a person. Shen Rou lying on a rock, under the feet of the slowly flowing stream, the sky is dark, but they are in this place is by no means just encountered a flash flood.

The backpack on his body is still there, if I remember correctly, there is still half a packet of compressed cookies left over from the morning, fortunately, I threw it in the bag with my hand. Only himself, the other people all disappeared, do not know by the flash flood washed to where, is together or scattered. Shen Rou shouted a few times, only to hear their own echoes, echoed over and over again in the mountains.

No one answered.

Before the flash flood future, a series of days of eating compressed cookies, see want to vomit, and now half a bag on the body is a life-saving food. Do not know the knowledge of a

Black bamboo ditch: located in Sichuan Province, Ebian County, is located in the Sichuan Basin to the Western Sichuan Plateau transition zone, covering an area of about 180 square kilometers, geological structure is complex, geomorphological types of diverse, in the new tectonic movement of the strong uplift and the influence of the lithology, was once subjected to the role of the 7 glacier cold action and the role of the water erosion cutting to form a 7 unique alpine geomorphological structure and landscape features.

The Black Bamboo Gully watershed is characterized by high terrain, high peaks, pristine ecology, rare species, and unique and magical landscapes. The local township name is "S exempt", that is, the valley of death. There have been a number of missing people and animals, the local Yi and Han people to black bamboo ditch called the south forest area of the "Devil's delta", has been widely known as "China Bermuda" by public opinion at home and abroad. After China's Forest Landscape Evaluation Committee, Black Bamboo Gully was approved by the State Forestry Administration on February 22, 2000 as a national forest park.

Knowledge point two

Flash flood: refers to the mountain streams and gullies in the flash flood. Flash floods have a sudden, concentrated flow rate of water, strong scouring destructive force, the flow of water with sediment and even rocks, often resulting in localized flooding, generally divided into torrential flash floods, melting snow flash floods, glacial flash floods, and so on. Flash floods and their induced mudslides, landslides, often resulting in casualties, destruction of houses, fields, roads and bridges, and may even lead to dams, ponds collapse.

When can and exploration team converge, also do not know can not converge, even if not eaten by wild beasts, I am afraid that they first starved to death. Shen Rou mulled it over in a daze.

To the south, there is a village called Yiwu, and if you travel fast, you can get there in four or five days. Shen Rou reconfirmed the contents of the bag, in addition to medicines, there is a flashlight, his card machine and a compass. The raincoat is covered with black mud, and the front has been cut with a long slit. Shen Rou took it off and washed it by the stream, folded it and put it into the bag, ate two compressed cookies, put the rest of them back into the bag carefully, and drank a few mouthfuls of water by the stream.

Sydney, the leaves clattered, Shen Rou alert, this will be no wind, is it people or animals? The brain instantly flashed to the black bamboo ditch before seeing the information, from the 1950s, there have been a number of people and animals disappeared, and the missing people inside the forestry department also includes the patrolman, they are professionals. However, the exploration team stayed in the black bamboo ditch for nine days, encountered a few sudden heavy rain and fog, and even saw a panda, but did not happen how bizarre things.

The stream is full of pebbles that have been washed away by the water, and Shen Rou has picked up a palm-sized one, staring at the direction of the swaying branches of the trees.

A low roar, can not hear what animal, at this time Shen Rou how to hope that behind the branch is a naive panda. The branch was pulled down by the object below, the trunk bent into a large arc, although the trunk is not very thick, but the weight of that object should not be small. Boom, the branch bounced back up and a dark object scurried up.

The pebbles in his hand smashed through, Shen Rou turned and ran, not seeing what kind of animal it was, his intuition told himself to run as fast as possible! Backpack also do not want, will only slow down their escape speed, if you can turn back and come back to get it.

(iii)

"Hey!"

It was a human voice? Shen Rou climbed a tree to stop, is it a hairy monkey, in this situation is not always still come to catch themselves. Look back, my God, not the exploration team, but it is indeed a person, wearing a black, face black and red mixed, carrying a very large also black duffel bag, at first glance like a black bear.

Zhou Wei is also due to a flash flood and companions separated, it is not easy to climb up from the steep slope below, a long breath of relief, is Shen Rou just heard the sound of suspected low roar of animals. Unexpectedly just climbed up to meet the head is two stone over, and then saw a woman play life to escape.

One of the pebbles is smashed into the Zhou Wei's head, he has been blood flow on the face. See their own "masterpiece", Shen Rou is embarrassed to apologize: "Sorry, I thought it was ......"

"Thought I was What, a gorilla or a blind bear?" Zhou Wei laughed, revealing two rows of white teeth, lined with the blood and black mud on his face, looked a little funny.

Put down the backpack, washed his face in the stream, Zhou Wei now shows his original face, is always out of the sun tanned skin color. Shen Rou took out the medicine box for him to bandage wounds, by the way, chatting up, know that he is with his companions to the wild adventure, the same because of the encountered flash floods separated. Zhou Wei's backpack, although large, pounding half a day only turned out a packet of beef jerky, spread his hands: "food does not belong to my back, this packet of beef jerky or before by hand stuffed in."

Zhou Wei, holding a map in one hand and a compass in the other, said, "Since we are all going to Yiwu Village, let's go all the way and look for it all the way, maybe when we arrive, they are already waiting." Barf, the sound of skin and flesh colliding, Zhou Wei felt something on his neck, cool, tilted his head to see that it was a one-meter long green snake.

Shen Rou noticed that Zhou Wei's face instantly went white, jumping in place like he was electrocuted, trying to shake the snake off. A big man, who dared to come out and explore, was even afraid of snakes, Shen Rou reached out and pinched the seven inches of the green snake, yanking it off his neck.

"It's not poisonous," Shen Rou said, "Are you really here to explore?" With so many snakes in the Black Bamboo Gully, it's not like you're going to die of fright.

Zhou Wei was shocked, palpitating, far away from Shen Rou: "I'm not afraid of anything else, but I'm just afraid of snakes." Especially the snake crawling on the body, that kind of cool feeling, balked.

"You are not afraid?" Zhou Wei asked again, not afraid of snakes women rare.

"I have a lot of snakes at home." Shen Rou said, seeing Zhou Wei's face start to change color again, explained, "My dad is a zoology professor, specializing in snakes."

"I thought your family had opened a snake farm."

"That's about right, it's very comfortable to cuddle and sleep with snakes in the summer." Shen Rou said as she brought the dying green snake closer to him. Zhou Wei desperately waved his hand, "Please, keep it away from me!" With a force in his hand, the green snake died and casually threw it into the bag, Shen Rou said, "Here's dinner." Zhou Wei looked at her back, and thought to himself that it seems that this little girl can help and not be a burden.

The two of them followed the current southbound, the sun just turned west, the forest darkened, the air is getting wetter and the fog is getting thicker and thicker, under the feet is thick moss, step on the hair slippery. Every time you land on your feet, you have to be careful, or you will fall into a dog's teeth. Rain began to fall, at first slowly, turn a stream, the rain suddenly increased, hit people can not open their eyes. Unable to move forward, but also just find a place to spend the night.

If you are lucky, sometimes you can meet the local Yi hunters built wooden huts, but unfortunately, the two people do not have this luck. In the end, they found a rocky outcrop that formed a natural roof, barely big enough for two people. The two took out the compressed cookies and beef jerky and ate them, Zhou Wei took out the stainless steel cup and received some water, drank a few mouthfuls and handed it to Shen Rou, Shen Rou finished drinking and received some water. Zhou Wei thought she was thirsty, but saw from the bag out of medical scissors, the green snake click yell click cut into several sections, thrown into the stainless steel water cup.

"What are you doing?"

"Cook it and take it on the road to eat." Shen Rou looked at his expression as if to say, you ***.

"You're going to cook it in my cup?!"

"Yes, because I don't have a cup."

By nightfall, the rain still hadn't abated, and Shen Rou sprinkled insect repellent around the area and covered the legs of the two with a raincoat.

"I think you have a knife on you?" Shen Rou asked.

Zhou Wei took it out of his bag and gave it to her for defense.

Shen Rou drew the knife back from its sheath, the blade was about twenty centimeters long, and said to Zhou Wei, "If you make a move on me, that green snake is your downfall."

Zhou Wei cried and laughed, even if he had the heart, he was powerless.

(iv)

A pool of blood snaked through the soles of his feet, faintly emitting a bloody odor. Zhou Wei was shocked, this is definitely not last night Shen Rou killed the snake left behind, hand took the guy out to check. The blood flowed down from a slope on the right, Zhou Wei climbed up from one side of the gentle slope, and found the source of the blood, is the carcasses of several plum deer, one of which is only left with the skeleton, one was bitten off the head of the whole.

When were these sika deer bitten to death, and by what kind of beast? It should not be last night, Zhou Wei did not sleep y, did not hear the movement. Probably yesterday during the day, the meat is still fresh, blood washed down the slope by last night's rain.

"You see what this is?" Shen Rou woke up and realized the abnormality, also climbed up the slope, squatting on the ground, as if he found something.

Zhou Wei pinned the guy behind his waist and walked over to look. A large footprint, about 40 centimeters long, so large footprints could be a bear, but from the outline looks more like a human. 40 centimeters long, even Yao Ming's footprints are not so large.

Shen Rou huffed and ran back, and back again, with her card machine in her hand. "Huh?" The camera was clearly charged, and had been used a few days ago, so why was it not charged at all now.

"You're not scared?" Zhou Wei pointed to this big footprint, she even had the interest to take a camera to shoot down.

"Scared." Shen Rou swallowed a mouthful of water, "But this is very precious information, perhaps there are savages in the Black Bamboo Gully, and savages are always better to deal with than wild beasts." Shen Rou went back and tried the remaining batteries, again no power.

"Maybe the rain is too damp." Zhou Wei cut a few pieces of venison to take with him, and seeing Shen Rou's puzzled face, he relieved a couple of words, "Maybe it'll be fine when it comes out of the sun." In the deep mountains and old forests, many modern technological products are prone to fail.

The two of them continued to rush, the mountain road is even more difficult to walk.

A woman's senses seem to be more sensitive, Shen Rou tugged on Zhou Wei's sleeve and whispered, "I think something is following behind." Zhou Wei stared and listened carefully and asked, "Are you hungry because you didn't eat enough in the morning?" But his right hand had already reached behind his waist. Hearing him say this, Shen Rou also knew that he had heard that subtle as if his stomach was grumbling.

The bushes suddenly moved, and a yellow thing jumped out, all that could be seen was a pair of intimidating eyes.

"Run!" Zhou Wei yelled, pulling up Shen Rou and turning to run towards the jungle. Before Shen Rou could figure out what it was, she was already being pulled forward, branches, leaves, and vines hitting her face, *** hot and painful. Feet slippery mossy mountain road, the more nervous the more unstable. Whistling wind from the ears, and the back of the guy's gasping, low roar.

Boom, Zhou Wei turned back and let off a shot, hitting the leopard's ear, directly through a hole. The leopard ate the pain, a hiss, even more aroused ***, vertical leap towards the two people pounced.

The front is a downhill, stop has been too late, and stop will only become the leopard's belly meal, the bottom of the foot slipped, the body lost balance, the two people directly rolled down. Midway by a few trees hit, but did not stop the trend of rolling down, only to feel the sky spinning, back pain, chest pain, even the toes are in pain.

(V)

The body suddenly vacated, lost its support, followed by a downward spiral, and nothing could be grasped with outstretched hands. Dang, the destination is a piece of water, Shen Rou desperately flailing, only to realize that the water depth is only up to the waist.

The two rolled down the slope and fell into the hole, the hole is more than ten meters deep from the ground, want to go out of the hole is unlikely. Zhou Wei opened the searchlight, the hole has been extending forward, the water flow has been forward, but it is a dark underground river.

The water slowly rubbed the skin and rolled all the way down to cut large and small wounds, soaked in water after a vague pain. A stinging pain in the leg belly, what was bitten by something, the pain Shen Rou shouted out, panicked out of the water, a white fish biting in the calf belly, vigorously shook two or tightly biting not to let go of the mouth, was Shen Rou's hand flashlight hate smashed a few times to be relieved. The shore of the rock and wet and cold and slippery, Shen Rou leaned against the cave wall, not yet from the shock just now awake, the fish is only the size of the palm of the hand long, but it is very fierce.

The fish will attack people, the situation is a little bad. Zhou Wei asked how she is, or the first wound bandage to stop bleeding. Shen Rou said all right, early to find a way out of this ghost place. Zhou Wei insisted on the first bandage to stop the bleeding, vaguely said, may be the smell of blood caused by the fish attack.

Leaning against the cave wall, there is only a narrow passage, and wet and slippery and slope, not easy to walk up. Zhou Wei rummaged out two steel pipes from his bag and handed one to Shen Rou. Shen Rou received, secretly suspicious, just when the leopard chased, Zhou Wei released a gun, ordinary travelers or explorers how would have a gun? Why does he still have two steel pipes in his bag, the steel pipes have spiral mouths at both ends, obviously there are still other uses.

"Are you Doraemon, you have everything in your bag."

"Because I'm a professional explorer" Zhou Wei snapped his fingers, not knowing if he had heard Shen Rou's meaning beyond his words. "Ever played baseball?" Zhou Wei asked again.

"Nope. This isn't the time to talk about it, is it?"

"I think those little guys want to eat us." Zhou Wei stared at the water with his hands on the pole, his tone relaxed, as if he were joking.

The water was changing, a layer of water ripples rose, a cloud of white shadows, it was those white fish! Poof, one of them leapt out of the water, jumped out of the water more than 1 meter high, opened its huge mouth that did not match its palm-length body, revealing two rows of sharp teeth, and lunged straight at Zhou Wei.

Zhou Wei see the target, swinging the steel pipe, a hit, that acted as the vanguard of the fish was knocked out of the water. The failure of the first fish on the contrary *** they more powerful attack, a jump out, two jump out, three jump out, before the eyes of the white flowers... Steel pipe hit the fish, issued a barfing sound, listening to people disgusted.

Constantly jumping out, and constantly being knocked back into the water, Zhou Wei said to Shen Rou, who was also wielding a steel pipe, "You better not have a dense phobia!" The steel pipe swung out to hit a piece, the smell of fish and blood came to the surface, Shen Rou shouted back, "I didn't have it before, but I do now!" The arm was already starting to get sore, even in baseball there has to be an intermission.

While playing, the two of them walked forward along the shoreline path to a relatively open flat area. Even if those fish are no longer powerful, they can not leave the water to run to the shore. Shen Rou a *** sat down and rubbed the sore arm. Zhou Wei took a searchlight and shined it forward, and the place where he could see was full of water, and how far ahead, no one knows.

Knowledge point three

Caves: the formation of caves is the result of long-term dissolution of groundwater in limestone areas, limestone in the insoluble calcium carbonate by water and carbon dioxide can be converted into slightly soluble calcium bicarbonate. Due to the limestone layer of each part of the limestone containing different amounts of lime, the degree of erosion is different, it is gradually dissolved and divided into interdependent, a variety of forms, steep and beautiful peaks and caves in strange landscapes. The world's largest cave is the Appalachian Mountains in North America's Mammoth Cave, located in the territory of Kentucky, the hole depth of 64km, all the forks of the hole connected to a total length of 250km. hole in the wide places such as the square, narrow places such as the promenade, the high place is 50m high, the whole hole on the plane of the tortuous, vertical upward can be divided into three layers.

Knowledge point four

Dark River: also known as the "ambient flow", refers to the river below the ground, is a kind of underground karst landforms, is a collection of groundwater, or surface water seepage into the ground along the underground rock fissures, through the dissolution of the rock, collapse, and the water carried to the formation of the underground channels. Dark river in the southwestern provinces of China can be seen in many places, and the scale is huge, such as Guangxi Dong'an County within the underground water system, Sichuan Yunlian Xiaoyudong dark river, almost in the limestone outcrops of the place have dark river figure. Some of the dark rivers have a large flow rate. For example, the underground river system of Disu in Du'an area of Guangxi, China, has a total length of more than 50 kilometers, with a catchment area of 900 square kilometers, 13 tributaries, and a maximum flow rate of 390 meters per second during the flood season.

The water level and flow of the dark river are unstable, and the difference between the flow in the dry season and the rainy season can be up to 10 times or more than 100 times. Some of the dark river water flow is rapid, there are waterfalls, and even waterfalls, some can form underground lakes. The water of the dark river can be used for water supply, and in some sections with large drop, underground hydroelectric power stations can be built. The reason why the Yangtze River keeps flowing in winter lies in the recharge of many dark rivers and underground water. The development of the dark river is the result of crustal change and climate change***, so the study of dark river characteristics and dark river development law is an important and effective means to study climate change.
