After descending a long downhill, we started climbing over mountains and ridges again.
I just kept going up and down the mountain road over and over again. I don’t know how many mountains I climbed, and finally arrived at this small town called Quyang.
This town is really small, it feels like a village. There is not even a restaurant in the town, only two small shops and a post office.
And from the small town to our final destination, the car could not go at all, so we had to park the car in this small town and walk up the mountain.
After grabbing some necessities from the car, we followed An Yifeng and walked into the mountains.
Walking on this winding mountain path, I feel that every step is very difficult, because my body cannot do it like normal people.
Especially at times like this, I really hate myself for being useless. Why did I encounter such a change when I was only 35 years old?
Halfway up the mountain, I couldn't walk anymore, so I stopped to rest.
But An Yifeng said to me: "Brother-in-law, how about I carry you on my back?"
I waved my hand at him and said, "How can you walk on this mountain road with me on your back?"
"It's okay. When I was a soldier, I often looked at tactical backpacks for climbing mountains. That thing only weighed fifty or sixty pounds."
I laughed and said, "I have lost weight now, but I still weigh a hundred pounds!"
"Try it."
I still said to him: "No, just take a rest, it will be fine... The scenery here is quite nice."
They both stopped and looked into the distance with me. There were so many mountains here, and every mountain felt very big.
It is not an exaggeration to say that this place is really far away from the downtown area, but I think it is not particularly remote, at least there are roads.
Like when I lost my memory before, when I was in Yulin Village, there were no roads at all, only waterways.
I wanted to smoke again, but I couldn't smoke casually in this mountain, so I had to hold the cigarette in my mouth to relieve the feeling of wanting to smoke.
Continuing to climb to the top of the mountain, An Yifeng said that after climbing this mountain, there will be another mountain.
Looking at the time, it's already half past eleven. I guess we won't arrive until twelve o'clock.
I didn't expect it to be so far, and the mountain road is so difficult to walk.
The further we go into the mountains, the more dangerous the mountain roads become. If we are not careful, we will fall off a cliff, so we must be careful every step we take.
I also kept pulling An Lan. She is actually not very courageous, and she is also slightly afraid of heights. She would be scared to death if she was allowed to ride a roller coaster.
Walking on this mountain road feels scarier than a roller coaster.
But she didn't flinch at all, and she was still walking in front of me, and kept reminding me to be careful.
In this way, I climbed the first mountain with difficulty, and then the second mountain.
It's even more difficult to walk up the mountain than just now, and there's even no road left.
An Yifeng even began to hesitate. He stood there and looked around, and said with some confusion: "Why does it feel different from the last time I came here?"
"Did you go wrong?" An Lan asked immediately.
"That's right! I walked this way last time, but why is there no way here!"
"Think carefully and don't be in a hurry."
An Yifeng said to us again: "Brother-in-law, please rest where you are for a while. I'll go over there and take a look."
With that said, An Yifeng walked to the right.
Then I asked An Lan: "The road down the mountain just now was so steep, weren't you afraid?"
"Not afraid."
"Then why are you so scared of riding roller coasters? I think this one is scarier!"
"That's different. I'm here to treat you. No matter how scary it is, I'm not afraid."
She always moves me easily. I am really lucky to have such a woman in my life.
I smiled, took her hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work, do this with me."
"It's not hard. As long as you get better, it's fine even if it takes a few years off my life."
"Don't say that, you have to live well."
"Then you should live well."
"Well, we are all living well."
A few minutes later, An Yifeng came back. His trouser legs were soaked with dew, because there was a lot of dew in the mountains and forests, even in the middle of the day.
He was not impatient at all, and came back and said with a smile: "This is the way to go, yes, I just met a villager who was herding cattle in the past, and after asking for the direction, I found out that no one used this road, so the road was blocked.
It's covered with grass."
"Then how do these villagers usually get out of the mountains?"
An Yifeng replied: "Most of the time they don't go out of the mountain. Even if they want to buy some daily necessities, they seem to go to the other side. I don't know how exactly."
As we talked, we followed An Yifeng and continued walking into the mountains. He was leading the way for us.
This place is overgrown with weeds, making every step very difficult. Some grasses also have thorns, and your skin will be scratched if you are not careful.
Fortunately, this is the early winter season, so everyone wears thicker clothes. If you wear short sleeves in the summer, you will be in trouble.
The mountain road was difficult to walk, and half an hour passed before we climbed halfway up the mountain, and this halfway up the mountain was different from the previous one.
The previous mountain was a real mountain road, but this mountain is completely a jungle.
Especially after entering the mountains, the tall trees block the sky above, making it humid, dark, full of mosquitoes, and even the view is not that good in some places.
The worst part is that there is no road yet, so we have to fumble our way to the top of the mountain.
I really felt like a burden. They had to take care of me on such a difficult mountain road.
There were all kinds of rotten leaves under our feet, and there was a rotten smell in the air. Coupled with the humidity and mosquitoes, it was really uncomfortable. We just wanted to pass through the mountains as quickly as possible.
In order to take care of me, An Lan fell down, rolled over several times and hit a tree before she stopped.
An Yifeng and I hurriedly ran over to check on her condition. She had a look of pain on her face, but she smiled at us and said, "No, I'm fine, I'm fine..."
I am really upset. I should be taking care of her, but due to my physical condition, I am not even as weak as a woman.
An We pulled An Lan up, and I hurriedly checked to see if she had gone anywhere. Fortunately, everything was fine.
I asked her if her bones were broken, and she stood up and moved a few times to show me that she was fine.
After resting for a while, we continued walking up because we didn't dare to rest more and there were too many mosquitoes.
There are a lot of mushrooms in the mountains, all kinds of mushrooms, red umbrellas, white umbrellas...
I don’t know how long we walked in this environment, but we finally climbed to the top of the mountain.
At this moment, I suddenly felt like the dark clouds were parting and the sun was shining brightly, like a rainbow hanging after the storm.
Really, at that moment, I just felt that all the suffering I had just endured was worth it.
It's so beautiful here!
It's like a paradise on earth.
Just at the foot of the mountain is a small mountain village built on the mountain. The appearance of the mountain village is very primitive, as if it is all made of wood and bamboo strips, and has a very ethnic minority style.
And looking around, opposite the village are various winding terraces.
The golden color in late autumn, combined with the various plants and vegetables in the fields, creates a beautiful picture that makes people linger...
