Mountain climbing adventure
When she arrived at the town next to Taiyi Mountain, she realized that the only bus bound for Taiyi Mountain had stopped. Since the epidemic spread at the beginning of the year, the city's tourism industry has fallen to freezing point, and the transportation to this slightly remote scenic spot has either changed its route or been put on hold. In short, unless you find a way to go to the scenic spot by private car, you won't get there at all.
Fortunately, I finally got a drip, so that Jiran didn't come back in vain.
When I first started climbing the mountain, I could see some people in twos and threes. It hasn't rained yet. After entering the mountain, the vision is clear and the road is smooth. Several rooms stand side by side at the foot of the mountain not far from the entrance to the scenic spot. Qi Ran remembers that the last time these houses were occupied by businesses, they kept shouting. Even the small yard in front of the house is crowded with local specialty stalls, and all kinds of food ornaments are available.
Still that row of small houses. The wooden doors of each room are closed, and a long chain is tied to the locked door bolt. The chain has rusted, revealing some dark yellow bottoms. At that time, there were only a few tables with broken legs piled in the corner in the busy yard. It was covered with dust and neglected for a long time at first glance.
She was a little shocked, how did such a crowded scenic spot get here? However, how to develop and operate the scenic spot is not something she can consider. She just wants to climb the top of the mountain again and experience the feeling that "all other mountains look short in the sky". Standing on the top of the mountain.
Climb to the height of 1000 meters, look up and see that the air has begun to fog, and occasionally you can feel one or two drops of water on your face, which is cool and tiny. At the moment, there are no pedestrians. Looking up, it is a winding path with no end.
Looking down, the path a few meters away is hidden in the lush Qiu Lin, and you can't tell the road at all.
She stopped to have a rest and looked around. There are nameless trees everywhere, with red, yellow and green leaves interlaced, and the cries of animals are constantly coming from the forest.
After all, she is a girl. In a remote forest that seems deserted, an irresistible idea suddenly appeared in her mind. It would be terrible if a snake suddenly appeared on the roadside at this moment!
But this idea was soon forgotten by her, because the rain was always getting heavier and heavier, and the mountains in the distance were blurred, and the visibility was only tens of meters. Qi Ran's calf muscles became stiff and his steps were heavy, but his altitude was only the last kilometer. Now she just wants to climb to the top of the mountain, nothing can stop her, and naturally she won't think about anything else.
Step by step, step by step, the pace is getting slower and slower, and the narrow steps are like an endless paradise, which is daunting. But you know, it has an end, just like human life, there will always be an end.
With strong willpower, Qi Ran reached the top of the mountain two hours later and sat motionless under a small tree with a red ribbon tied to it for half an hour. Half of the rain tinkled on the umbrella surface, and Qi Ran always felt that these voices were beating his heart.
In recent years, nothing in life seems to arouse her more emotions. She is always cold and seldom sees brilliance in her eyes. Nothing can make her afraid except that she is a little worried about the future.
In the real world, she leads a boring and meaningless life.
I came to climb this mountain because Qi Ran knew it was high. Her only wish is to climb to the top of the mountain, and she probably has the idea of proving herself strong by conquering this mountain.
But when she really climbed to the top of the mountain, she didn't know what to do, and her heart was not relieved, and her feelings were not weakened by half. She is still not in the mood.
Probably sitting for too long, the rain and fog drifted into the eyes, and the puddles gathered in the eyes, and the puddles accumulated more and more until the last straw.
She is at the top of Taiyi Mountain, which is nearly three kilometers above sea level. She was crying alone. No one knows what she is crying about, even she feels puzzled, but she just keeps crying. There seems to be something terrible in her heart, crying and complaining.
Jingxiashan road
The estimated downhill time is three hours. At about 1 30 in the afternoon, Qi Ran finally stayed at the top of the mountain and began to return. Downhill is very different from uphill. When you go up the mountain, you just need to go up wholeheartedly, no matter how many turns you turn, as long as you see the way up, go straight ahead. Going down the mountain is different. This mountain is the site of geological collapse. The whole mountain is rugged, forming many gullies and mountain roads, and it is easy to go wrong when going down the mountain. If you don't pay attention, you will take all kinds of detours.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the rain and fog became deep and dark, and the visibility decreased again. Give people a feeling that it will be late. The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the leaves of trees and plants are blown away. I haven't seen anyone for a long time. The last animals she saw were some squirrels out foraging in the forest.
Ji Ran just wants to hurry down the mountain. Her mentality at this time is the same as when she went up the mountain, thinking that as long as she continues to walk down the stairs.
Even if the footsteps are vain and the knees begin to hurt because of continuous wear and tear, they are still getting faster and faster. First, she is very tired and wants to go home from the mountain as soon as possible. Second, in the afternoon, it was already dark, and the uncontrollable fear spread in her heart.
When I passed a tiny fork in the road, I walked straight ahead in fear, but I didn't notice the hint of a road sign next to me, which read four big words-Don't see a hole in the sky.
She only felt that she had been walking for a long time and didn't know how high she had gone from the mountain in the fog. When the accident happened, the road ahead actually began to appear uphill. After climbing this slope, a suspension bridge appeared in front of her.
Qi ran thought, is crossing this suspension bridge the way down? So she stepped onto the suspension bridge again, and the bridge was rickety and bottomless. In order to prevent it from accidentally falling between steel plates with large gaps, Qi Ran held the umbrella in one hand and the chain next to it in the other. The cold, rain-soaked chain passed through her palm and reached her heart. She suddenly shuddered, which was obviously wrong. She had never seen anything like it, either on her way up the mountain or on her last climb.
But at the moment, she still comforted herself that this might be another way down the mountain. After crossing this suspension bridge, it may be a downward road. However, when she walked over the suspension bridge and turned the corner of a hill, another staircase appeared in front of her.
At this time, Qi Ran had to face the reality and she was lost. She has been walking along the mountain road for over an hour. I don't know from which moment, she came to the fork in the road. At this time, if she continues to walk, she will inevitably start climbing to the top of the mountain again.
The rain and fog are getting thicker and the light is getting darker and darker. This is next to a small suspension bridge in the Zhong Nanshan Mountains. If she is trapped here, some insects, ants, snakes and wild animals will come out to feed after nightfall. How will she handle herself?
But now is obviously not the time to think about these things. She must find the real way down the mountain before it is completely dark. As a last resort, she chose the original road and tried to find the wrong fork in the road
She walked carefully across the suspension bridge for about twenty minutes. In front of her, there is a short ladder going up. After climbing this ladder, there is still a long way to go, all of which are upward. Yes, you don't have to think about it. If you keep walking, you are still climbing the mountain.
At this time, Qi Ran wanted to collapse, and she was very eager to cry. She is hungry and tired, and wants to go back to her warm nest, but even so, she has been trying to keep herself calm, and she firmly believes that she can find the right way.
She can't tell things apart, and she didn't ponder the map on the sightseeing ticket she bought when she entered the mountain to find out her position. She calmed down and thought carefully about the road from the top of the mountain to here, but found nothing.
So there are only two options left at present. The first option is to continue to go up. Maybe it's a fork in the road not far away. She can go down the mountain quickly. But there is a great possibility that she may go the wrong way soon after she started going down the mountain. It took more than an hour to go down the mountain. If she wants to find a fork in the road, she must climb again, maybe more than an hour, maybe more than two hours. Who knows how much longer she will climb.
The second option is to take the road just turned back again. She was obviously going downhill before she met the suspension bridge, but she was scared to death when she met the upward stairs after crossing the suspension bridge. Maybe climbing that stairs is the way down the mountain!
Qi Ran is lucky. She keeps doing psychological construction for herself, telling herself again and again, well, it must be like this. Just climb the stairs next to the suspension bridge and you can go down the mountain.
This time, qi ran naturally didn't know. As long as she walks along the stairs where she is standing for another 20 minutes, she will see a fork in the road ... She always likes to gamble on an easy road ahead and deliberately avoid the road that looks complicated and unknown. This is a lovely nature.
She decided to try the road behind the suspension bridge again, so she immediately turned around and walked towards the suspension bridge again.
The rain is still so gentle, beating on the umbrella surface, as if there is only one sound left in the world. The scenery in front of her is getting less and less, and her steps are gradually vain.
Step on the suspension bridge for the third time, turn a corner and climb that ladder, then climb a similar ladder, and then, it is still an upward ladder.
Why? Why are they all climbing mountains? It's been forty minutes. She's been stuck in this hellhole for 40 minutes. Perhaps, I really met the legendary "ghost hitting the wall"!
Qi ran's legs were weak, and his body gradually could not bear that terrible fear. She felt that she would collapse on the muddy steps the next moment. But now she knows very well that she must force herself to calm down, because no one can save her except herself.
Strange to say, at this point, there is still a place in Jiran's heart that has not been broken by fear. She still believes that she has not reached the end of the road and will find a way out.
Rain and fog have completely penetrated into the granular velvet coat she is wearing, and the coat hangs heavily on her body, making her feel like a heavy shackle on her back.
The sky is getting foggy, and she has no time to immerse herself in fear for too long. She told herself, if it is not broken, it will not stand.
Before starting again, a sentence I read in a book a long time ago came to my mind, "A person's life should not go back". Because of timidity and luck, she went back once. At this moment, no matter whether it is a mountain of knives or a sea of fire ahead, she will never look back.
One road goes to black.
A real crisis
Continue to go up for nearly half an hour, turn a few corners, and the path paved with bluestone in front is cut off by a mountain. After walking a few steps along the mountain, I saw a small gap that could only accommodate one person. It turns out that this mountain is composed of two huge stones back to back, the upper end is completely embedded together, but the lower end forms a narrow space like a triangular tunnel.
Looking through the hole, it seems that you can see a faint light. Where there is light, there is hope, and Qi Ran entered sideways without hesitation. Her shoulders hit the rocks on both sides from time to time. She doesn't care if her clothes grow moss or anything else. All she can think about is going forward, going straight ahead.
After several large and small bends, Qi Ran came to a place with a light source, but this light source was not the sunshine she wanted to see, but the light from a light bulb installed in a big mountain hole.
This light is a little yellow. The light bulb is a gourd-shaped light bulb hung on the roof of every household in the 1980s and 1990s. If people sit in a warm study and read an essay about exploration under the light, it must be beautiful. But Qi Ran is looking for the way home! I ran into this cave rashly, I didn't know the depth, I didn't know the exit. In the huge rock cave, who knows how many insects, ants, snakes and wild animals are entangled in them? When you think about it a little, you feel that they are at a critical moment of life and death.
The sound of raindrops outside was completely inaudible, and there was no sound in the cave. But the more silent, the more afraid JiRan. Her back was covered with cold sweat, and the bag on her back suddenly weighed a thousand pounds. She thought of the sharp scissors at home. I wish I could hold them in my hand now. She also wants to support her crumbling body with a long and strong stick.
But she has nothing. She didn't even dare to turn her eyes at will, for fear that there was a ghost face embedded in it. She just keeps a firm and close eye on the road under her feet. As long as there is a road under her feet, she will move forward.
Trembling through this empty and quiet cave, I saw a small winding tunnel, and I didn't know where it led. A light yellow light bulb is hung every few meters on both sides.
The moment I first saw this small passage, fear had reached my throat and my whole heart was pulled up. She is afraid that this is a bottomless pit, and she is afraid that she will spin in this tunnel forever. She is even more afraid that there will be countless "tunnels" waiting for her after this "tunnel" has passed.
Cold sweat slipped into her collar along the scalp, and the clothes on her back were completely soaked. The strength of people under fear was always endless, so Qi Ran finally remembered that there was this thing in the world: 1 10.
Unfortunately, there is a signal in an unknown cave on an unknown hill with heavy rain. No signal means that all possibilities for help are cut off.
If we say that in the "ghost hitting the wall" section, she is a series of self-help behaviors as a tourist who knows that she will always find the right way, but at this moment, she obviously feels the oppression when her life is threatened, and she knows that she really doesn't have any foreign aid.
Strange to say, when you put yourself in this "desperate situation", your heart, which has been full of fear, suddenly glows with new vitality, just like a dead tree, starting from a small place at the root tip, suddenly gives birth to green. She wanted to save herself. From scratch, she suddenly showed infinite courage, whether facing the unknown exit or the road ahead of her life.
She stepped into this seemingly endless curved "tunnel" without hesitation.
Ten minutes later, she found the exit.
At the bottom of a cellar, she could see a hole in the top of her head, which was about three or four meters high from where she stood. And these three or four meters are steel steps like ladders.
When I was a child, I once fell off the ladder of my hometown, and I was deeply afraid of such a thing. But at this moment, all the fears can't stop her determination to climb up.
Later, I remembered the short distance she climbed the ladder, and I sincerely admired myself. Without a moment's hesitation, she tied the strap of her schoolbag, zipped up her mobile phone in her pocket and rolled up her coat sleeves to the top. Then, she grasped the handrails on both sides tightly, decisively and desperately and began to climb the ladder. ...
After going out, she called the emergency number at the first time and found the right downhill under the prompt of Miss Gentle on the phone.
postscript
After coming back from the mountains for a long time, Qi Ran sat up more than once and asked himself sincerely: Qi Ran, are you still willing to live in this world?
If you like, please live a positive, colorful and energetic life. Instead of looking lifeless and lifeless as before.
This is probably the most precious thing that this mountaineering adventure can bring her.
