On Wednesday morning, I saw the message Long Jie sent me the night before, asking me to follow him to Qinghuan on Saturday and eat hot pot in the mountains. I met Long Jie when I went to Xinjiang to see the prairie in May 2021. I have not seen her since that time. I hadn’t seen him for so long, and since I had never participated in any corruption activities, I was very interested, so I readily agreed.
When I entered the temporary group, I had thoughts of shrinking back. One reason was that I was afraid of social groups, so I was worried about whether I could fit in with them. I didn’t know anyone in the group except Long Jie. Another problem is the weather. If it rains and my shoes get wet, I don’t have any shoes to change.
Although I was worried, I still got up at 5:30 on Saturday to wash up and go out for the appointment. On the way to the subway entrance, it was still drizzling in the sky, so I could only pray that it wouldn't rain in South Australia.
After everyone arrived and met, we started to set off at 9:30. However, the security guard went to work on time and was on duty. We could only enter through the community path, which required us to walk two more hills than the original planned route.
After successfully entering the mountain, the six of us finally breathed a sigh of relief. Chao Zai is the organizer of this event and the corrupt chef today. Although he has not met him before, he has heard his name. Because there were many forks in the road, he led the way, and the person leading the team was the section chief. Long Jie and Qianyun were walking in front of me. They were still chatting about what happened after returning from Zangdong. Their acquaintance was probably similar to mine. Fortunately, Qianyun chatted with Long Jie to relieve her boredom. The two of them chatted all the way. When Qianyun said: "When I get to Long Jie's age, I also hope that I can still keep the feeling of a girl." Long Jie smiled and said: "It's definitely possible. I just like to hang out with beautiful girls, just like the two of you. "One." I agree with Qianyun's sentiments, and I also think Long Jie is full of girlishness. While in Tibet, I had already expressed my admiration for her. The person walking behind me was Xiaoyu, who was the last to join the group when the crowd was full. I heard that the army asked Chaozi to join the group.
We were walking through the weeds. Long Jie asked me to walk in front of them. She said I walked fast, so I followed Chao Zai.
When I came to a place with a wide view, I saw a hazy place in the distance. The sea seemed to be covered with a veil, like an ink landscape painting. So we posed for a photo with him. We also knew that it would be difficult to see much of the scenery when Wang Lang returned home today, so our excitement was focused on today’s corrupt feast.
We were so unhappy that we took the wrong path. We were stuck on the mountainside. If we wanted to go up, we would have to walk farther. If we were to go back, the road was too slippery and steep to go down, and we didn't want to go back. Finally, we decided to continue moving forward and passed this hilltop. When we were walking on another hilltop, while there were people in front of us, Chaozi went to explore the situation. Unfortunately, we still had to turn back. When we turned back 10 meters, Chao Zai led us straight across and left without turning back. This crosscut is better than before, the road is gentle and downward. Although there are no obvious traces of the road, you can still see red ribbons hanging on the trees, indicating that someone has driven here.
Chao Zai and I walked in front, and they slowly followed behind. Fortunately, this section of the road is not very far, it is said that it is only 200 meters, but I feel that I have walked a long way. Fortunately, we re-entered the normal track later.
After walking for a while, we met a small team of three people. They were picking wild oranges. Chaozi also picked a few and gave me two to try. What I ate at that time were wild oranges with a greenish tint. , Wow, I can’t take that acid. It doesn't stimulate the teeth, it stimulates the taste buds, making the body tremble instantly. I didn't eat it after that. After they caught up, I gave another fruit I had to the section chief. After tasting it, he actually said it was okay. I looked shocked.
After eating the orange, Chao Zai ran to the front first, probably to open fire first. Long Jie fell into a beautiful illusion. There will be all kinds of delicious food when we get there. How happy it is.
I thought to myself, carrying so many things and still walking so fast, he really is an outdoor expert. I also told Xiao Yu that it seemed that the rest of us were here to hold Chao Zai back, otherwise he would have arrived at Ma Liu River at his speed. It was already past 12 o'clock and we hadn't even reached Ma Liu River yet.
It was already 13:30 when we arrived at Ma Liuhe. Seeing that Chaozi was still busy, we went over to help wash the vegetables. The meatballs were already piping hot in the pot. After a while, we started eating with our own bowls.
There are quite a lot of ingredients today, because before coming here Long Jie said that Qianyun and I are very good eaters, so we bought all kinds of food. And I lived up to expectations, my mouth never stopped for a moment. Eat a shrimp and a blueberry. I was the last person to put down my chopsticks. We still couldn't finish the cooked ingredients, which was a bit of a waste. We recycled plastic bags and other garbage, and threw the degradable food in the grass for the small animals to eat.
After an hour and a half of eating, drinking and resting, we set off again. The road gets steeper as we go back, becoming slippery because of the rain last night. Fortunately, I had Chaozi’s hiking poles. Even so, I fell down two or three times. Once I slipped on a rock, and the moment my knee hit the rock, my whole body went numb, OMG. Taking a deep breath, he stood up calmly and slowly, moved his feet, and waited for his knees to adapt to the pain. Fortunately, I can still walk. The bumps on my bones are nothing but minor injuries, but the lower skin is broken and turns purple and black at the impact point. If the muscles on the side of the kneecap hurt, then you really can't walk.
That is, after that fall, I walked more carefully. I was gradually losing my temper, as if my physical strength had dropped off a cliff, and I couldn't walk as well as I wanted. He exerted all his strength, just to move himself up a step and maintain his balance. The steep and slippery road required even more strength.
At this time, Long Jie and Qianyun were already walking in front. I tried my best to catch up, but fortunately they were not far away. What's worse is Xiaoyu. Her shoes make her take one step and take three steps back. So they joked to Xiaoyu: "Hurry up and ask Dajun to buy you a pair of shoes." By coincidence, Dajun actually made a voice call to her at about that time.
Slippery uphill, slippery downhill, slippery all the way. Just like this, I slid to Wanglanggui. At this time, when Wang Lang returned home, he only saw a vast expanse of white. The visibility was only a few dozen meters, and he couldn't see anything.
We didn’t stay too long, just took some photos and then left. We continued to slide all the way down the mountain, and finally ended our slide today when we saw the step road. I can walk down the mountain comfortably and my speed has become faster.
Qianyun greeted from the front and arrived at the observation deck. So I immediately ran up, surprising Long Jie and Chao Zai behind me. Also, just now I looked exhausted, but now I ran up the steps as if I was suddenly given a shot of blood.
I stood at a high place and saw the sea below. The sea breeze had blown away the thick fog, revealing the island. "Wow~~" we exclaimed in surprise, Chaozi and Long Jie had already come up. So we quickly took pictures of this high-grade gray sea. When Xiao Yu and the section chief arrived, the thick fog started to rise again. It seems that good scenery always lasts for just a moment.
Chaozi said: "There is also a No. 3 viewing platform below." So we walked down quickly. It was getting later and later. If the sky was clear, it should be sunset by now.
When we arrived at Observation Deck No. 3 and took a few photos, it was almost dark, so we planned to go down the mountain. At this time, a wave of people also came down from the mountain. Because of their different physical strength, they were a little far away from each other.
Since I didn’t have a headlamp, I wanted to go down the mountain as fast as possible until I could hardly see the road. The steps were high, uneven and narrow, so I used the flashlight function of my mobile phone for lighting. I ran down and met the person walking at the front of someone else's team. I didn't plan to pass him. It was dark anyway, so I just walked slowly with others. Besides, he didn't have a headlamp, and I didn't see him using his mobile phone to light up. , I consciously put the light farther away and walked together.
Along the way, we also chatted about our respective destinations today. It turned out that they were going to Qiniang Mountain today, and their mission was to inspect the national hiking route.
We were chatting, and suddenly I felt a bright light behind me. I looked back and heard a voice: "Have you come here yet?" It seemed to be Chaozi's voice, and I responded, so the two of us became three. . It wasn't until I finished walking down the steps that I realized where we were. I was familiar with this section of the road, and there was a very leisurely road behind it. Walking up the steps made my collateral ligaments on both sides of my knee start to hurt slightly again, which was a root cause that could not be cured.
The three of us were waiting for them on the road, and our knees could just rest. Fortunately, the main road behind us was easy to walk on, so today's hike was completed smoothly.
