A few days ago, I went to Guniubei with a group tour. On the first day I went there, I posted it on WeChat Moments with the caption: "I'm so scared this time, I didn't dare to go forward." Later, in When I lead a group to introduce this place, I always say: "Xiaoyao has traveled to a lot of places, and basically she has never been scared. But when she gets there, she is really scared. So everyone must do what they can according to their personal circumstances." And that’s ok…”

The first time I climbed Guniu Bei was on a cloudy and drizzly day. A vertical row of people holding colorful umbrellas across the edge is really beautiful. After walking down the dirt road for less than fifty meters, we climbed up the stone stairs. The stone stairs on this mountain are steep and straight, which I quite like. Although the climb is tiring, it gives people a clean and refreshing feeling. What I dislike the most is the kind of trail with winding stone stairs that go around for a long time but the vertical distance does not rise a few meters in the end. It is really annoying.

Guniubei is still in a very primitive state. There are no chains or poles in the entire scenic area. Sometimes I walk in the mountains, and the narrow trail is lined with short trees on both sides, and I can see the mountains and terraced fields in the distance; sometimes I pass by a trail where the trees on both sides have not grown up yet, and if I walk forward for a while, I can't see the mountains and terraces in the distance. How dare you look back. On this mountaineering trip, some people were waiting at the bottom of the mountain for those who climbed the mountain to come back, some people came down halfway up the mountain, some people walked in front whistling, waving, and shouting, and some people panted, cautiously, and moved forward bravely. I love climbing and climb often, but I'm not good at it. I always breathe heavily, and the strong muscles in my legs don't seem to have any effect. Most of the guests in the tour group were older than me. Someone passed by and said to me, "You should exercise more. Look at me, I take at least 10,000 steps a day... Okay, I have learned a lesson."
I find it more or less rewarding to travel with older people. For example, someone told me that the plant on the roadside is Bupleurum, which looks similar to weeds, but the smell of the leaves is different. There is also a plant that looks like a snail shell and a coat button. I noticed it when I went up the mountain on the first day. Later, a tourist picked a lot of it and told me that it was bracken and could be taken back and eaten cold. . There is another kind of bracken with tender little cauliflowers.
There are also young tourists in the tour group. One day, a six-year-old little girl said to me, "Xiaoyao, I want to use this of yours." She was talking about the little bee, "Here, here you go, you shout a few words and you are back, you are back." Finally. Her gentle words and her milky voice only moved me to hold her hand and walk on the road. That day, I almost asked her if she liked little bees and if she wanted to be a tour guide when she grew up. Well, it’s a dangerous thought. If I bury this seed, the little girl’s mother will most likely blame me (what should I do wrong, be a tour guide? Suddenly I thought of a way to be a bad aunt).
 
The little girl went on a group trip with her mother. On the back of the mountain, the road is narrow, with no protection on both sides. The trees and grass are not as high as the ridge. Both sides are bare, and tourists can only pass on one side. There, the little girl wanted to walk over, but her mother caught her in time, squatted down and said gently: "You are very brave, but mother is not brave. I will take you to play somewhere else next time." Someone coaxed her. That's great.
 
However, I am also good at coaxing myself. The first time I stood there, I hesitated for a long time, took a breath several times, but didn't dare to walk over. I thought to myself, it’s raining today and the road may be slippery, so I’ll wait until the weather clears up before leaving. Then it was cloudy for the next few days. I stood at the intersection, not trying to persuade myself or mustering up the courage. I said calmly in my heart: I promised in my heart that I would walk there, but it would have to be sunny.
Not many people in the tour group walked up to the cow's back, but those who walked over had a great time and were smiling brightly. You can take photos while standing or sitting on the cow's back. I even thought there were a few A big sister was there taking videos of people walking by. There was also a white-haired grandma who said to me at the intersection: "Tell the 80-year-old man to come back and tell him not to go forward." So I quickly shouted: "The 80-year-old man can go." You're back, my mother-in-law is very worried about you here..."
 
When I climbed Guniubei Mountain, I didn't climb up to Niubei Mountain, but I met alpine cuckoos. When I went up the mountain on the first day, I saw someone coming down the mountain with a lot of purple flowers. I thought they were villagers here. I thought it was so romantic. After I finished my work, I would climb the mountain when I had free time. Pick flowers, even on a light rainy day. Later I found out that they were also tourists who came to play. I don’t know if it’s because of the rain, but I always feel that the clusters of azaleas I saw on the mountain must be more beautiful than usual. This is not the loneliness and pity after the rain, but a kind of refreshing and brilliant. She is on the mountain, looking at the mountains, clouds and terraced fields. She welcomed the wind, rain, thunder and lightning earlier than us, but no matter what, she is still so brilliant, In the formidable mountains.
In the next few days, I saw some self-driving tourists and tour group members holding these purple flowers in their hands when they came down the mountain. I even saw some people "fighting" for the flower branches. I thought it was funny and thought to myself Author: What a beautiful flower. Look, everyone is fighting for you. Before someone left, she gave me the big bunch in her hand, but I can't remember how to deal with the aftermath. I'm so damn forgetful.
 
On the last day of taking this route with a group, the driver said that it stands to reason that it is spring and there should be flowers on the mountains. I just reacted and replied that there were still some there a few days ago, maybe they were almost broken. It was then that I realized that the mountain flowers did not belong to us.
