Chapter 123 Outdoors for Two (Linghu No. 2 Alliance Leader)
Zhang Chi kindly poured a cup of mountain spring water into her water glass. Qin Luzhu took a sip of cold mountain spring water before she felt better. Standing here, she could see the Red Star Primary School in the Sifangping valley. She pointed to the back of the Red Star Primary School.
The mountain peak said: "That's Canglong Ridge, right?"
Zhang Chi nodded. Li Yuejin had specially introduced it to him before. According to the original plan, they were going to climb Canglong Ridge in the next two days, but the plan changed. The old principal's sudden illness forced Li Yuejin to accompany him to the province.
If you want to go to Canglong Ridge, you may have to wait until Li Yuejin comes back.
Qin Luzhu suggested: "Let's go climb Canglong Ridge!"
Her suggestion was a bit sudden. Zhang Chi reminded her that Canglong Ridge was not a developed tourist area and did not have any supporting facilities. According to the locals, it was a wild mountain. Both of them were outsiders and they went to climb it so rashly.
Canglong Ridge will be risky.
Qin Luzhu said confidently: "It's no problem, I'm here. I have a lot of outdoor experience. I walked alone on the Aotai Line, climbed Siguniang Mountain, and rode alone through Qinghai-Tibet. The altitude of Canglong Ridge is not even high."
It’s only 1,500 meters, it’s a joke.”
Zhang Chi believes that Qin Luzhu is not exaggerating. After all, he witnessed her heroic performance last night. Qin Luzhu's wheat-colored complexion should be caused by frequent outdoor exercise.
Qin Luzhu is a do-it-yourself person. She must take action as soon as she has an idea. However, considering that the time is almost noon, she decided to start their plan to climb to Canglong Ridge tomorrow morning. She does not act blindly.
It is necessary to plan the route in advance.
The two returned to Hongxing Elementary School. Zhang Chi saw Qin Luzhu taking out a map that had been hand-drawn in advance. Then he realized that Qin Luzhu's plan to climb Canglong Ridge was not just a sudden move, but had been planned before she came to Qingping Mountain.
plan.
Qin Luzhu's climbing plan not only includes Canglong Ridge, but also climbs Lingxi Peak and Qingping Mountain from the back mountain of the five more famous peaks. She has made strategies and hand-drawn maps for all of them.
After Zhang Chi saw these exquisite hand-drawn maps, he became more and more suspicious of Qin Luzhu's motives for coming here to teach. She probably came here under the guise of teaching. People in this big city really know how to play.
Qin Luzhu also brought her laptop. She had already made preparations to disconnect from the Internet in Sifangping, so she downloaded a lot of information offline in her computer. Qin Luzhu was working on the strategy carefully throughout the afternoon.
Zhang Chi was not idle either. He used rocks to set up a temporary stove in the yard so that he could cook.
In the evening, he steamed rice, made four dishes and one soup, peeled the skin of the caught frog and stir-fried it with green pepper, and fried the golden cicada.
There are a lot of willow trees around the campus. When it gets dark, I take a flashlight to shine and I can catch half a bucket in a short time. Zhang Chi fry the golden cicadas and sharp peppers together and sprinkle them with fine salt. It is crispy and delicious. There are some willows growing by the river.
There is a lot of cress, which is fragrant and tender when simply stir-fried.
Shredded green peppers and potatoes are delicious in color and taste. The loofah and egg soup is slightly garnished with some river shrimps, which immediately transforms the ordinary soup into something magical and leaves a fragrant taste on the lips and teeth.
Immortal Zhang was a foodie when he was in heaven. If he hadn't gone to Magpie Bridge to hunt birds and barbecue because he drank too much, he wouldn't have been demoted to the world.
He really put his heart into this dinner today. The main reason was to repay Qin Luzhu for saving his life last night. If Qin Luzhu hadn't taken action at the critical moment, I'm afraid he would have become the wolf's father today.
Zhang Chi didn't report the evening's menu to Qin Luzhu in advance. He figured it out. Although Qin Luzhu was a foodie, she still had some pretense in front of others. Sometimes she wouldn't eat meat, and sometimes she wouldn't kill animals. She really brought delicious food to her.
In front of her, she forgot about the so-called taboos. These sisters are a bit hypocritical.
Qin Luzhu tasted the stir-fried cress, the green pepper and potato shreds, and drank a few mouthfuls of loofah and egg soup. He saw Zhang Chi sitting on the other side of the desk. The two dishes in front of him were a bit far away from him. He couldn't bear it.
The resident asked, "What did you eat?"
Zhang Chi has stated in advance that there are four dishes, two meat and two vegetarian, two for each person, and a separate meal system. Don't you keep saying that you should respect your eating habits?
Zhang Chi said nothing, picked up a frog leg and chewed it.
Qin Luzhu couldn't help but reach over with her chopsticks, and picked up one of the golden cicadas: "You have such a strong taste, you actually eat bugs!"
Zhang Chi said: "Golden cicada, improve your eyesight!"
Qin Luzhu pursed her lips. Zhang Chi thought she would have to go through a hard ideological struggle before making a decision, but her ideological struggle never lasted more than a second. By the time Zhang Chi reacted, she had already picked up the second
Just: "Delicious."
Zhang Chi said: "Aren't you a vegetarian?"
Qin Luzhu said: "I don't want to eat them, they are insects."
Immortal Zhang was not surprised by her messy behavior.
Qin Luzhu took the initiative to move the bench towards Zhang Chi, and the four dishes that were separated from meat and vegetables were finally reunited. The sinful chopsticks finally reached for the plate of fried frog.
Zhang Chi reminded her: "This is a frog."
"I know! It's not a chicken!"
Zhang Chi finally determined that Qin Luzhu was not taboo at all, but why did she release the soft-shelled turtle she had worked so hard to catch? And how to explain that she released all the fish she caught? Zhang Chi once again suspected that Qin Luzhu might be a
Neuropathy.
At five o'clock in the morning, Qin Luzhu was already ready. She had a strong sense of time and agreed to leave on time at five o'clock.
After going out, he saw Zhang Chi waiting outside. He was wearing a half-new school uniform and carrying a schoolbag from school. He looked like a student rushing to take the exam. In fact, he didn't really have many clothes, but he only had a few shirts and shorts.
, but it is not suitable to wear when going up the mountain to avoid mosquito bites.
Qin Luzhu could tell from Zhang Chi's dress that his family conditions were not very good. Although she had known Zhang Chi for less than three days, she could see that Zhang Chi was very smart and had a strong ability to live independently. In some aspects, he even
Some aspects of Qin Luzhu's abilities that surpassed her were especially her cooking skills.
Zhang Chi said: "Have you eaten yet?"
Qin Luzhu shook his head. In the past two days, he had become accustomed to a life where he had to open his mouth to eat, and his ability to take care of himself had deteriorated.
Zhang Chi handed her an egg pancake. He had fried a few of them with oil and boiled a dozen eggs since he got up early in the morning. After all, mountain climbing is physical work, so how could he do it without some food?
Qin Luzhu was not polite to him and ate the pancake.
Zhang Chi said: "We don't need to ride bikes. There is a small road behind. It takes more than three miles to walk to the foot of the mountain."
Qin Luzhu nodded. She was wearing outdoor clothes, carrying a professional hiking bag, and put on hiking shoes on her feet.
In addition to his schoolbag, Zhang Chi also brought a bamboo backpack. He put his schoolbag inside the backpack. His hiking pole was a green bamboo pole. Although the equipment was a bit primitive, it was still complete.
The two of them walked along the path behind the school towards the foot of Canglong Ridge. Qin Luzhu took long strides, taking full advantage of her long legs.
Especially on a flat road, it is easy to distance yourself from Zhang Chi. If Zhang Chi wants to keep up with her, he has to trot all the way. Zhang Chi chose to give up and follow the female stock, which is a huge loss. Besides,
Mountain climbing is a process that tests endurance. What's the use of walking fast at first? You must evenly distribute your energy and persist until the end to be considered successful.
Qin Luzhu originally had a strong personality, but in the current team of only two people, she had to cooperate with the relaxed pace. She found that her little brother, who was five years younger than herself, was not easy to lead. He had a strong sense of autonomy.
From the beginning of the action, he did not choose to follow blindly, but followed his own rhythm.
Qin Luzhu slowed down and silently set back the time for the round trip by an hour in her mind. According to her original plan, they would return to school at five o'clock in the afternoon at the latest. But looking at Zhang Chi's current traveling speed, it would definitely have to be delayed.
.
It was very cool in the mountains in the early morning. Walking on the path overgrown with weeds, all you breathed was the fresh air of nature. It felt like your heart and lungs had been washed. Qin Luzhu subconsciously touched his pocket and realized that he did not
Bringing cigarettes out, she usually can't help but want to smoke when she feels bored.
Zhang Chi stopped behind. He found a cold water stone, which was just beside the stream. The cold water stone is the main material for refining the Mahayana Pill. Zhang Chi squatted by the stream and used a shoe brush to brush off the soil on the stone.
, crystal clear and full, stone color azure, containing water lines.
In Qin Luzhu's opinion, he was just having fun and wasted too much time along the way. He couldn't help but urge, "We won't be able to get back in one day if you act like this."
Zhang Chi stuffed the Hanshui Stone into his schoolbag: "The main reason for going out to play is to relax, not to seek punishment." He and Qin Luzhu had different purposes.
Qin Luzhu's purpose was to conquer Canglong Ridge. His purpose was to discover some medicinal materials and crystal stones useful for alchemy. If Qin Luzhu hadn't been urging him to do so, he would have stayed in this creek for a while longer. Maybe
There are other discoveries to be made, but this creek is not far from Hongxing Elementary School, so we will look for it more carefully another day.
Canglong Ridge is one of the fifteen peaks of Qingping Mountain. In terms of fame and height, it is not as famous as Lingxi Peak, which has become a tourist spot. However, it is precisely because of this that its original ecology is guaranteed to the maximum extent.
Zhang Chi had heard Li Yuejin say before that Canglong Ridge is the most beautiful place in Qingping Mountain. The southeast of Canglong Ridge is gentle and the northwest is steep. There are also travelers from the surrounding areas who come here to explore, but most of them choose the gentler southeast slope. The northwest slope is steep and full of cliffs, which makes it more difficult.
Compared with the southeast slope, it is several times larger. Without local people who are familiar with the terrain to guide the way, even trekking friends with certain outdoor experience will not dare to challenge it easily.
Canglong Ridge is named because the mountain is long and narrow. Viewed from the side, the gentle southeast slope forms a winding dragon's back and tail. Near the top of the mountain, a steep stone peak suddenly arches up. There is a peak on the peak, which is far away.
It looks like the tentacles of a Canglong, hence the name Canglong Ridge.
Canglong Ridge also has another nickname called Dujiao Peak, which refers to the stone peak at the top of Canglong Ridge.
A solitary large stone pillar stands straight into the sky. It is slightly thicker at the top and has lush vegetation. It is very tall! It is very hanging!
