"Why are you here?" The little girl was very alert.
This guy is so weird.
Following from the city to the outside of the city, you are not ready to leave, are you?
Han Qi took off his mask and hat, shook his head and said: "I just heard about your Gaolu Village from others, and wanted to go up and take a look. Do you know how to use mobile phones? This is me."
He handed the phone to the older child.
She took the phone and saw the photo of this person in it, but...
"I don't know how to read," she said, and handed the phone back to Han Qi.
Maybe smiling socially has some effect. Girls don’t regard Han Qi as a bad person for the time being, but there is still a considerable distance between words. Han Qi feels that this distance is not only for herself, but also for the outside world.
They all use this expression.
He was a little sad, but he quickly put aside this emotion.
Han Qi is just a tourist and cannot help their family more. But if the scenery above is good, Han Qi will spare no effort to publicize it in his travel notes, which may improve their living conditions.
But, how do I go up this kind of road?
Han Qi looked at the cliff trees and vines that frightened him.
Without paying attention, I saw the two little girls grabbing the vines and starting to climb up. The vines had heavy artificial traces and were specially made into ladders. Their hands were holding on to a support and their feet were stepping on one.
on the support.
It feels like free climbing in a rock climbing gym, but easier than that.
Just climb up without protection.
The cliff is so steep that it can be said to be almost vertical.
"How much can this ladder bear?" Han Qi asked quickly.
"How heavy is it? I don't know. I only know that someone has fallen down, but you can still walk on these roads. If you are afraid, just go back quickly." His tone was full of contempt for the people in the city.
Hey, I don't believe it.
Two girls can go up there carrying such heavy fruits, so what does a grown man like himself have to fear?
He has strong hands and feet and no mental illness. He is just worried that these so-called roads will not be able to bear his own weight. Now that she knows these trees and vines, the wood is very strong, so what is there to be afraid of?
Done.
Anyway, there are still people leading the way. After they go up, it will be even more difficult for them to go to their so-called Gaolu Village alone.
Get started, grab the wood and follow it all the way up.
Han Qi's speed is very fast, and the control and strength of his body are secondary. To climb up in such a place, the main thing is to overcome his own psychology, so that he should not be afraid, not to look down, and not to be afraid of heights.
.
People who are dizzy must not come here, Han Qi thought to herself.
Since there is no protection, you must step firmly and hold firmly when climbing up. In this case, if your head becomes dizzy and your hands and feet become weak, what will you do?
This is probably the secret to Gaolu Village's mystery. Few outsiders dare to climb such a dangerous road.
This is not too difficult for adventurers and travelers who have learned rock climbing, but which traveler would come to such a place? As an ordinary tourist, Han Qi will be surrounded by people when he enters the city, let alone the more rare ones.
adventurer.
Ten minutes later, Han Qi climbed to the first small platform.
Two girls were waiting for him above, sitting on a small stone pier.
"I didn't expect you to actually come up."
The girl's eyes were very bright. Han Qi did not see any rejection or contempt for him in her eyes this time, so he felt inexplicably a little excited, as if he had accomplished some small set goal.
Han Qi nodded at her and took a look at the surrounding environment.
Viewed from the bottom of the mountain, this is a cave, and it is indeed a cave. The space inside is about twenty or thirty square meters, and the top is full of traces left by the smoke and fire. There is a small bed in the corner, and two
Baskets are what two girls carry on their backs.
Seemingly guessing what Han Qi was thinking, the girl said:
"This is a place where we stay temporarily when we can't go home at night. You can put your things here. Well, if you want to go to our village, you can put your things here and no one will take them. But
Do you really want to go to our village?"
"Well, let's go take a look."
Han Qi believed what she said, not to mention that there was nothing important in his backpack except his laptop and camera.
These two pieces of equipment must be taken to the mountain by yourself.
He took off his travel bag and took out the laptop inside a black backpack, and the SLR was also inside a waist bag. Han Qi thought about it for a while, then found two spare lenses and a high-power charger.
precious.
The girl was dumbfounded. She didn’t recognize any of the things Han Qi was carrying, but these things seemed very heavy, especially the SLR and lenses.
"Do you really want to take it with you?"
"Yes." Han Qi was busy tying the belt with the SLR on and replied casually. Seeing that she was willing to communicate with him normally, he asked, "What are your names? My name is Han Qi."
"My name is Nan Yanzi, and this is my sister, her name is Yujiao. Do you really want to go up with us?"
"This is still false."
Han Qi smiled and said that he did not say that he might be able to give them some help if he went up. If he could help some people from his own country, it would be a good thing, but Han Qi was more worried that even if he went there, he would not be able to help them.
to them for more help.
So it’s best not to say anything and go and find out first.
Han Qi also tied up the SLR, tried the tightness, breathed a sigh of relief, and turned around and said, "Your names are really nice."
The girl's face suddenly turned red. Although her face was so dark that it couldn't be seen clearly, her red ears were very obvious. Han Qi was stunned for a moment, thinking that these two girls were quite introverted, but he didn't dare to continue to praise them.
, changed the topic and asked:
"When will we go up?"
"Now, it will get dark soon, but do you really want to carry so many things? It's very tiring."
Her attitude when talking now is completely different from before, but this is better, otherwise she will always use her enthusiasm to touch other people's ice. No matter how hot the water is, it will cool down quickly. By then, Han Qi will probably not be able to
The idea of wanting to help others.
"Not too heavy."
Han Qi's physique is that of a non-human, and he is not afraid of carrying too much weight on his body.
He had never felt comfortable carrying such a big travel bag before.
Hearing what Han Qi said, Nan Yanzi looked a little embarrassed. She tried her best to recall whether her elders had ever taught her how to bring a person from the mountain to the village, but she couldn't figure it out. After all, it had been decades.
No one from the bottom of the mountain went up the mountain.
Even the village chief, secretary, etc. are all people from the village, and no one from outside dares to climb this mountain that is hundreds or thousands of meters high.
Nan Yanzi thought for a while and directed her sister.
"Yujiao, you will be on top for a while, and let the guests walk in the middle to find a better way. Do you understand?"
The little girl nodded.
Han Qi thought of something in his heart and felt a little pain.
I have never heard this little girl speak. Could it be that she...can't speak?
Nan Yanzi said to Han Qi: "Let's go up like this. It may take an hour or two. Are you really okay? Brother Han... Brother Han."
Han Qi shook his head, "No problem."
Nan Yanzi hummed, and asked her sister to walk in front to find the way, while she walked in the back. She was afraid that Han Qi would run out of strength at some point so that she could help her. Although she was thin, she was stronger than many adults at the foot of the mountain. After all, she was
Those who have been doing farm work for a long time.
The three of them started climbing up.
Not all of the cliffs are rock climbing roads. Most of them are still mountain roads that can be walked normally. Only in some cases where there is really no way to go, canes and wood are used as connections so that people can go to another mountain road that can be walked along the cliff wall.
Go up.
This was Han Qi's first time walking this way, and it felt like it was really physically demanding. He also brought a lot of things with him.
When he felt tired, he heard the heavy breathing of the two girls.
I took a look at my watch and saw that I had been walking for more than fifty minutes since I started at the bottom, almost an hour. Now I couldn't see anything clearly when I looked up. It was all clouds and mist, as if I was traveling in the early morning mist.
Look down…
"Don't look down!" Nan Yanzi shouted from behind.
"It's okay. I'm all tired. Let's take a rest here."
This is a stone corridor on the mountainside. The road at the foot is about half a meter wide, but it has been the best way to walk in this hour. There are traces of holes on the stone on the right, which are used to prevent people from walking.
It's nice to have a place to hold on to when you're tired, which acts like a railing.
But other people's railings are used to block the outside and prevent people from falling. There is no such condition here, so we can only reduce part of the railing's function and place it on the stone on the right.
Nan Yanzi nodded after hearing this. She was indeed a little tired.
On the road, I often have to worry about whether someone will accidentally fall, which indeed consumes more energy than usual.
Yujiao also heard the conversation between the two and sat down directly on the ground, facing Han Qi.
What a good-looking person, she thought.
Han Qi nodded at her and took out his SLR from his pocket.
It was not clear from the mountain, but the scenery below was already very beautiful. Han Qi looked down along the way he came from, and it took him a long time to see the bottom.
The originally wide mountain road underground turned into a twisted little earthworm. A motorcycle ran from the direction of the city at a very fast speed, but on the mountain it looked like an ant walking very slowly. The sound of the engine made this
The wild land adds a trace of industry.
In the distance is a fertile field. It is winter and there is no food left, but the rapeseed flowers that have not yet grown flowers are extremely beautiful.
Han Qi took several photos in succession.
Nan Yanzi stared at the SLR, and when Han Qi put it down, he asked, "Is this something that can be used for photography?"
"right."
Han Qi replied with a smile, and then said: "Come on, I will take a photo for you too."
"don't want!!"
The girl's head shook like a child's rattle, and her braided hair was like a drumstick.
Even if you want to take a photo, you have to wait until you clean your face. It's so dirty now that it won't look good in the photo.
Han Qi could probably guess what she was thinking and advised: "It doesn't matter. After taking the photo, I will only show it to you, not to others. You are very beautiful. I am not lying about this. I will give the photo to you then."
, you’ll understand after you see it for yourself.”
"Really? We are very beautiful, right?"
"It won't do you any good if I lie to you. Come on, look at me."
Han Qi immediately raised his camera.
The first photo was taken when Nan Yanzi was not prepared. Her panicked eyes were subconsciously looking at the camera. Facing the traces of modernity, her eyes were clean and timid. The second photo was when she was ready and did something far-fetched.
Make a smile.
Han Qi looked at it and still liked the first one.
Looking back to take pictures of Yujiao, this fifteen-year-old girl gave Han Qi a surprise. She smiled brightly at the camera, just like her flowery age.
"Can we see the photos?"
Han Qi put the camera away and said, "It will take a while. Don't worry, you will see it."
Yujiao made some gestures with her hands, and Nan Yanzi understood, and asked: "Yujiao said, do you think the photo of her looks good?"
Han Qi looked at Yu Jiao. The little girl was now shy. She lowered her head so that Han Qi could only see her braids. At this time, Han Qi didn't know what kind of mood he was in. He had guessed that Yu Jiao had
It's possible that Jiao can't speak, but it wasn't really confirmed until this point.
"Good-looking, you all look good, I told you, right?"
Continuing up, we walked for another half an hour and passed by a mountain spring.
This mountain spring is also on the edge of a cliff, and the road is difficult to walk.
The spring water seems to be more than one meter deep and two to three meters wide. It is as clear as the snow-capped mountain water that Han Qi saw in Tibet. The spring eye is a thumb-sized hole on the left side. The water flows out from it. The flow rate is very fast, which is equivalent to that in a home.
Most of the water pipes were opened.
Yujiao was tired from walking, so she drank water from a gourd beside the spring, and then handed the gourd to Han Qi.
Han Qi took it and took a scoop.
Even if this kind of mountain spring is not mineral water, it can still be regarded as pure water.
When the water enters the mouth, there is a touch of elegant sweetness, and the slightly cold water stimulates the somewhat tired brain, making people sober up.
Mountain spring fruit does have a bit of sweetness. No wonder people say that the best tea water is mountain spring water, but it is strange, why is it sweet?
After Han Qi finished drinking, he handed the melon gourd to Nan Yanzi. She picked it up and drank several sips. Finally, she wiped her mouth with her sleeve and said to Han Qi: "We are almost there. If you go up from here, you will go up the mountain.
The road is just like the one at the bottom of the mountain, it’s very easy to walk.”
In fact, the road down the mountain is not easy to walk. It is okay for vehicles to pass by, but when people pass by, their shoes will sink into the mud for one centimeter. The mud is like a magnet, attracting your shoes and preventing you from taking the next step.
After walking for the last few minutes, we finally saw the main road.
Looking down, there is a cloud and mist. Looking up, the clouds are very low and the sky is blue. This is a color that even the best painters can hardly create. This is a gift given by nature to this land. I am not happy.
If it is clear, it cannot be seen.
The mountain road that ordinary people cannot walk for more than an hour is a test given by nature.
Han Qi slowly circled back and forth on the spot, looking at the sky that had never been so close to him, stretched out his hand towards her, and said to himself:
