The first thousand one hundred and forty-five chapters mountain fog
Zhou Chuanting walked over and said with a smile: "Little fat man, we have indeed reached the place. The donkeys and horses are no longer going forward. We need to use our legs to walk the remaining twenty kilometers."
"What? Walk on your legs? Still more than 20 kilometers?" Nan Huai'an's voice was filled with tears.
"That's right. After walking twenty kilometers and entering the mountains, you have just arrived." Zhou Chuanting patted Nan Huai'an and joked with others.
Lin Yuan gathered the things he carried with him, paid the money, and said to Nan Huai'an: "Old Nan, this is your last chance. I paid all the money. If you go back now, you can still go back with the donkey and horse team. I'll wait for you later."
If you leave, you can't leave even if you want to."
Nan Huai'an had a look of struggle on his face, but in the end he gritted his teeth and said: "Let them go, I don't believe it. Where Mr. Zhou can go, I can't go?"
Lin Yuan sent away the donkey and horse teams, pointed his finger at Nan Huaian and said: "Old Nan, you are such a man, I admire you a little."
Zhang Hongwen said jokingly: "Fat Nan, you are so arrogant, but you just don't know what will happen if you hit the road? However, I should still praise your attitude."
Nan Huai'an said angrily: "Humph, you don't have to look down on the fat man one by one. When the time comes, you may still be counting on the fat man."
While he was talking, Zhou Chuanting had already led Lin Yuan and Zhang Hongwen down the path at the fork in the road. Nan Huaian looked at the desolate surroundings and hurriedly followed him with a loud shout.
Heading southwest from the fork in the road, the road seemed very desolate, with weeds everywhere. However, luckily the journey was uneventful. The twenty-kilometer journey took more than four hours, and I looked ahead.
There is a hillock.
Zhou Chuanting pointed to the hillock and said: "As long as you climb over the hillock in front, the scenery at the back is pretty good."
When everyone reached the top of the mountain, their horizons widened and they felt that the scenery suddenly changed.
I saw an open space in front of the mountain, surrounded by mountains in the distance, with light mist lingering in the mountains, and green mountains. Even the sultry feeling was much lighter, and the mountains in front of me gave people a spring-like feeling.
Lin Yuan couldn't help but admired: "What a great place. It's a desolate road ahead, and suddenly there's such a scenery. It's really refreshing."
Zhou Chuanting said with a smile: "Xiao Lin, this is the mountains on the edge of southern Guizhou. From here, the mountains and clear waters are beautiful, but you don't know how dangerous it is here. This is the junction of the three provinces of Guizhou, Nanyun, and Western Sichuan. It is very
The famous no-man’s land. The main reason why there is no one here is because the environment is too harsh and unsuitable for human survival.”
When Lin Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but sigh. He felt that it was a pity that such a beautiful landscape has become a place where humans cannot survive.
Thinking about the investigation, Lin Yuan continued: "Everyone must remember Mr. Zhou's words, be careful, and follow Mr. Zhou's arrangements for all actions, and be sure not to have any accidents."
Zhou Chuanting led the way, and Lin Yuan led Nan Huaian and Zhang Hongwen to follow carefully behind. After a while, they passed through the open space in front of the mountains.
When they got closer, everyone realized that the beautiful mountains seen in the distance were actually rather steep.
Lin Yuan asked Zhou Chuanting: "Mr. Zhou, is this the place you mentioned?"
Zhou Chuanting replied: "That's right. Counting this time, I have been here five times, but I don't know what the name of this place is. Maybe this is the nameless barren mountain."
Zhang Hongwen asked: "Mr. Zhou, you said that the place you are going to is very miasmatic. Is the fog on this mountain a miasma?"
"Haha, do you think miasma is always there? Let me tell you, miasma is actually something that will come out in the mountains at a certain time. For example, in front of you, it may become invisible overnight.
.If there is no wind, it will last for a long time."
"Old man, why are you talking so scary? What is coming out? What is it that makes people feel like they can't see their fingers?" Nan Huai'an seemed to be frightened and asked quickly.
"Little fat man, there are many trees and high humidity in the mountains. It is possible for huge mountain fog to form when the temperature drops sharply. This is worse than the haze you usually see. It is possible that we are just one step away from each other.
You can't see each other. If the mountain fog is mixed with some toxins from the decomposition of decayed branches and leaves, it will show a strange color, which is miasma."
"Ah? So powerful! Mr. Zhou, you have to think of me when the time comes. Don't leave me behind."
Everyone laughed and walked up the mountain.
Lin Yuan started collecting data from the beginning of his mountain climbing. Although there was nothing noteworthy in the places he passed, the ecological environment here was relatively good, so Lin Yuan still took pictures of the surrounding scenery with his mobile phone.
Nan Huai'an was the one who suffered the most in the entire team. He was fat and it was hard enough to go up the mountain. Coupled with the lush weeds, it took a lot of effort for this guy to take almost a step. There was only a few hundred meters away and he couldn't breathe.
It whirred like a bellows.
"Little fat guy, are you unable to keep up?" Zhou Chuanting, despite being the oldest, is in the best condition among the four of them except Lin Yuan. He joked with Nan Huai'an and also distracted Nan Huai'an.
His concentration prevented him from feeling the hardship of climbing over the mountain.
"Old man, I'm really tired. I think it's getting dark. Why don't we find a place to take a rest."
Lin Yuan turned around and said: "Old Nan, this is no joke. According to the direction arranged by Mr. Zhou in advance, we must get to the top of the mountain before sunset. Otherwise, when the fog rises in the mountains, there will be no place to cry.
cry."
After hearing this, Nan Huaian gritted his teeth and stumbled to follow the team.
The visual elevation of this mountain is only a few hundred meters. I thought it would be easy to reach the top of the mountain. But who knew that halfway up the mountain, there were so many trees that it was difficult to walk.
Lin Yuan took some shots and put away his mobile phone. Although he brought a lot of power banks, he still wanted to save power, so he turned off his mobile phone.
"Mr. Zhou, when you came here before, was it so difficult to walk?" Lin Yuan asked.
Zhou Chuanting looked around and shook his head: "It was not so difficult to walk before. When we came here, did you see the end of the dirt road? There used to be some families who lived here and they would come here to make a living. I guess those families have moved.
No one comes here, so the grass and trees on the mountain will grow very lush because no one comes to trample on them to collect wood.”
Lin Yuan nodded and looked at the surrounding environment where there was almost nowhere to stretch his legs. Let alone seeing the direction, he didn't know where to go even if he was walking forward. He took out the compass and wanted to determine the location, but found that the compass
The shaking was severe, and there was probably a magnetic field around it, which affected the compass.
Fortunately, there was still faint sunlight, and we could still locate the place through the sunlight. Lin Yuan told everyone to hold on and get to the top of the mountain before dark.
Good wishes will always be broken by cruel reality. Zhou Chuanting did not expect that after not visiting for more than ten years, the trees here became extremely lush. Everyone was approaching the top of the mountain, almost as if they were walking in a quagmire.
The distance traveled in one hour was actually less than twenty meters.
The last ray of sunlight dimmed, and the entire mountain forest fell into boundless darkness.
Lin Yuan had no choice but to let everyone rest where they were.
Fortunately, Zhou Chuanting had been here several times and knew what situations might be encountered here, so he asked everyone to prepare moisture-proof sleeping bags. Everyone had a quick bite to eat, arranged the night watch, and everyone got into their sleeping bags and got ready to sleep.
Nothing happened all night. When everyone woke up, the most worrying thing happened. Thick mountain fog spread in the mountains. It was really like what Zhou Chuanting said, you couldn't see your fingers.
"Lin Yuan, Mr. Zhou, Zhang Hongwen, are you all here?" Nan Huaian shouted loudly, like an abandoned child.
"Stop screaming and save some energy." Lin Yuan said angrily.
Listening to the sound, the four of them came together. Lin Yuan asked: "Mr. Zhou, how should we go?"
"It's a bit troublesome. If you are on the top of the mountain, there will be wind there anyway, so you can see some things clearly and judge the direction. Now that we are not on the top of the mountain, we can't see the direction of the top of the mountain clearly. If we go forward rashly, if we make a mistake, we will be in trouble.
Very dangerous.”
Nan Huaian said: "Mr. Zhou, let's just walk up the steep slope. Can't we reach the top of the mountain?"
Lin Yuan snorted and said, "It would be easy if it were that easy. You know, we can't see anything clearly. You think you are walking along the slope, but in fact you don't know where you are. If you get lost in such a mountain forest
, that’s really a fatal thing.”
Zhang Hongwen said: "Mr. Zhou, I wonder when this fog will dissipate?"
"It's hard to say. If the sunlight is good, it will disperse around ten in the morning. If the sunlight is not good, it will not disappear all day or even several days."
"What should we do? Do we have to wait here for the fog to clear?" Nan Huai'an suddenly became anxious.
"What are you arguing about? Listen to Mr. Zhou in everything." Lin Yuan knew that the most taboo thing now was panic, especially Nan Huai'an's anxious mood, and he must not be allowed to develop.
Nan Huai'an didn't dare to speak anymore. Zhou Chuanting pondered for a while and said: "Fortunately, we haven't gone too far in. We can move forward slowly without making too many deviations. Everyone must pay attention to holding hands with their partners and walking forward. It's better to
Even if you are too slow, you cannot leave the group."
Zhou Chuanting's words were like reassurance to everyone. The four people lined up in front of each other, Lin Yuan was first, Zhou Chuanting was second, Zhang Hongwen was third, and Nan Huai'an was fourth. The people behind them pulled the clothes of the people in front, slowly
Move forward.
In the mountain mist, there was no difference between keeping his eyes open and closing his eyes. Lin Yuan also moved forward based on his feelings. Indeed, as Zhou Chuanting said, the speed of movement was simply a turtle's pace.
