Li Qingyun moved very quickly and raised his arm to block Michelle's kick. The force was so strong that his arm was numb from the shock. If he had been kicked by her, he would have suffered a concussion.
"What are you doing? Why are you so crazy?" Li Qingyun was a little angry. He didn't provoke her, so why did he attack him as soon as he woke up?
"What do you want to do to me?" Michelle was on guard against him, but she didn't see any offensive moves from Li Qingyun, and there was nothing strange about her, so she immediately felt relieved.
"What can I do to you? This place is full of wet cobblestones. Even if you want to do something, you have to have an emotional environment, right?" Li Qingyun said, staying away from this dangerous place, and took out dry clothes of the same style from his backpack.
, put it on slowly. Then wrap the wet clothes you changed into a plastic storage bag and put them back into your backpack.
Michelle knew she had misunderstood the other party and was a little embarrassed. She even remembered that her unconscious entanglement affected Li Qingyun's safety when he was rolling down the hillside.
"I'm sorry, I was too excited just now. I didn't judge the facts clearly and misunderstood you." Michelle stood up and patted her clothes that were full of water. She felt uncomfortable. She brought a change of clothes, but
Unlike Li Qingyun who even has a spare jacket.
Li Qingyun likes straightforward girls. He accepted her apology and pointed around and said: "Let's find a safe place to camp first. It's getting dark. There is water and grass here. It doesn't feel right. After all, find a higher place."
place!"
Speaking of safety issues, Michelle quickly got into gear, observed the surrounding environment, stood up and tried a few times, trying to climb up along the original path. But it was not easy to get down, and it was even harder to climb up.
She looked at the position where she had just fallen, and felt scared again. If she had not fallen into a pool, but had strayed five or six meters further, she would have fallen onto fine rocks, and her life or death would be uncertain.
"Let's go forward, we can't climb up here." Li Qingyun said, already carrying his bag and using a woodcutter to clear the way. In front of him were grass vines half a man's height, wet stones among the grass, and four-legged snakes jumping out from time to time.
, causing the gold coins and copper coins to bark.
Michelle followed Li Qingyun closely. Based on her years of experience in outdoor exploration, she speculated that this place was unsafe. There were pebbles underfoot, and the grass and vines also had signs of slopes caused by water. If it rained heavily, the flash floods rushing down from the top of the mountain would destroy the place.
People washed away.
Venomous snakes that were not seen on normal mountain roads also appeared. Li Qingyun used a hatchet to open the way. After walking for three or four miles, he saw more than a dozen snakes, three of which were venomous. However, they were not very aggressive, so he ignored them and walked around.
Just open it.
It was getting dark, but they still couldn't find a gentle slope. The place they were in was like a narrow canyon. Even with rock climbing tools, it was difficult to overcome the steepness of the mountain wall and the slippery grass.
"Woof woof woof!" The gold and copper coins running at the front suddenly shouted excitedly. Li Qingyun slashed a few times, and the front suddenly opened up. In front of it was a wider canyon. It turned a corner from the right front, and the downwards was more rapid and steeper.
It was a steep river-like slope, with several turns, but no one knew where it was leading.
Seeing that there were only some small young grasses on the ground, Li Qingyun was not happy, but his face became more solemn. The reason why there were no tall grasses on the ground was because water often washed down, and the rapid water flow could wash away any obstruction, even the bottom.
The stones are all fixed, unlike the section we just walked on.
"Oops, we have to speed up!" Li Qingyun wiped his sweat and put away the hatchet. As long as he found the mountain road going up, he would be safe.
Michelle was so tired that she was covered in sweat, but she also knew that this place was dangerous. She gritted her teeth, nodded, and followed Li Qingyun's footsteps.
After walking for a few more miles, Li Qingyun's eyes were no longer blocked by mountains. He could see the hilltop with the Taoist temple mentioned in the morning. It was called Wangxian Peak at the top of Poguan Mountain. It was a nearby iconic peak. If he got lost, he could
position.
"It turns out that we rolled to the bottom of the mountain all at once, which saved us a lot of trouble." Michelle breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the familiar mountain peaks and joked.
However, Li Qingyun did not relax. Seeing that there was a gentle hillside with ivy to climb in front of him, he thought he could give it a try. If he waited until dark, he would not be able to find the way again.
After discussing with Michelle, we decided to let Li Qingyun go up with a rope. If he successfully climbed up, tie the rope to a rock or a big tree, throw it down and let Michelle go up.
"Yun, your idea is very good, but I didn't bring a rope? There are only two sections of emergency rope of a few meters, which are not enough." Michelle said with some regret. Her ability is not bad, but the section in front of her is full of turquoise.
The hillside is not something she can conquer.
"Haha, don't worry, I brought it." As he said that, Li Qingyun patted the backpack on his back and took out a rock climbing rope from it.
"Oh, God, your backpack is so amazing, how come you have everything?" Although Michelle was surprised, she couldn't go to check Li Qingyun's backpack, but she couldn't hide her envy.
"..." Li Qingyun smiled mysteriously and did not explain. Although he chose a big backpack, if he took out too many things, others would definitely be suspicious. However, suspicion is suspicion. Anyway, he couldn't think of it even if he tried hard. He carried it with him
A small space with a lot of items for the mountain.
It was difficult to climb this hillside, but Li Qingyun used his extremely strong arms, clasped his fingers on the rocks or grass roots, kicked his legs hard, and moved up like a spider. It didn't take long before he reached a gentle slope.
At the corner, there was a tree root as thick as a calf. I pulled hard and it felt very secure, so I tied the rope to it and threw it down.
"Woof woof! Woof woof!" Gold coins and copper coins barked several times below, as if to remind Li Qingyun not to forget them.
With the help of the rope, Michelle slowly climbed up the steepest section with some difficulty, and then gradually relaxed, getting closer and closer to Li Qingyun.
The two puppies couldn't wait any longer. They barked, walked around Michelle, and rushed to Li Qingyun.
"Oh, thank God, I finally came up. Thank you and thank you for the rope!" Michelle laughed. Although she was very tired, she felt like she was surviving a disaster. When Li Qingyun helped her untie the rope, she suddenly felt
Kissed him on the cheek.
Li Qingyun was stunned for a moment, and soon figured out that maybe this was the etiquette between Western friends, no different from shaking hands and hugging.
"Haha, next time you kiss me, remember to let me know in advance so that you can be mentally prepared." In any case, Li Qingyun was quite happy, at least he was appreciated by the beauty.
The two joked for a while, supported each other, and walked to a large platform with few trees, which met the conditions for a camp. Li Qingyun circled a grassy area, picked up some dry branches and dead soft grass from nearby, and set the area on fire.
Michelle also picked up some firewood, planning to bake clothes and light it at night to drive away wild beasts. Seeing Li Qingyun burning the grass, she was a little confused and said: "Didn't you say it comes with a tent and moisture-proof mat? Do you want this?
Is it okay to dry the ground?"
"The moisture-proof mat is not a panacea! Moreover, there is not only moisture in the grass, but also some invisible small bugs that make people hard to guard against." Li Qingyun said, pointing to some unknown slender bugs that hurriedly emerged from the side of the fire.
There were several centipedes as long as chopsticks that were unable to escape in time, and were scorched by the fire. They curled up and gradually turned into ashes.
"Oh, God... Fortunately, the moisture-proof mats and tents I used were of excellent quality. It turns out that I have been sleeping with these bugs!" Michelle's face became ugly, and she put a sticker next to Li Qingyun, which would increase the number of people sleeping.
Some sense of security.
"It's okay. You stand by the fire and grill yourself. I'll find some dry firewood for the night. Let's see if there are any game and catch some to eat." Li Qingyun took out the sawed-off wood from his backpack.
After seven consecutive rounds, he took the gold coins and copper coins and headed towards the woods on the side.
"Please wait...can you leave me a hound?" Michelle was a little hesitant and embarrassed, and then explained, "I'm a little scared! After all, it will be completely dark in a while!"
Li Qingyun expressed her understanding and ordered the copper coins to stay with her. She would just take the gold coins to explore the road without relying on hounds to protect herself. The hounds have sharp noses and can give early warning if they encounter wild animals or something, so that they can be prepared.
Seeing Li Qingyun walking alone into the dark and unknown woods, Michelle felt that the woods were like a huge monster with its big mouth open, waiting for humans to come in for food! The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and a cool breeze blew by.
