I slept until 8pm, and went out with Shen Bing and Qu Mo to eat something. I told them about the lousy poem that was like a dead rat playing dumb, and Shen Bing covered her mouth and laughed, "Actually, your two lines are not much better than others, they are both lousy."
Oh my god. I thought the two sentences I put together were pretty good, but I didn't expect her to deny them so quickly. It really hurt my self-esteem.
Qu Mo pondered and said, "I think there are meanings in both lines of the Mirror God's poem. Your guess may be correct. The first line may be a guide, and the second line may be the location of the White Bone Cave."
Shen Bing continued laughing and said, "The last sentence is quite funny. A big rooster plus a worm. Chickens eat worms. Let's look for it according to this logic." After saying that, she burst into laughter.
I don't find this girl funny at all, she can be so happy. But her opinion reminded me that I didn't think about it before, maybe there is a place in Qinling Mountains where chickens eat insects.
After returning to the hotel, I asked them to go to bed early, as they might have to face several sleepless days and nights after entering the mountain. The next morning, Shen Bing got up early. She was thoughtful. She had traveled a lot and learned from her experience in Huangshan. She bought mountaineering equipment in a nearby sports mall, including climbing ropes, climbing shoes, hats, raincoats, headlamps, and finally a tent.
I didn't need to buy a compass, I brought a compass, a dagger and a flashlight, and bought first aid medicine at the pharmacy, and bought a lot of food and water at the supermarket. Basically, I was fully equipped, and then I set off.
It only took an hour to reach Qinling Liang Grassland, 70 kilometers away. This is the Qinling watershed, the watershed between the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, and the geographical north-south dividing line in China. Qinling Liang Grassland is also called Dacongziping, with an altitude of 2,650 meters. It is one of the many subalpine meadows in Qinling Liang. But it is the only Qinling subalpine meadow that can be reached directly by car from Xi'an. It is also the road to Dasi, a place called "Qinling Shangri-La" by travellers.
After entering the scenic area, we thought we had to find a tour guide. Otherwise, since it was our first time here, how could we go with only a map in our hands and we didn’t even know where the place was
I said let's hire a female tour guide, pretty and friendly, so that I would feel better. But they all opposed it and wanted a male tour guide. The reason was simple: we were not here for tourism, but to find caves, which meant we had to go deep into the mountains. Wouldn't hiring a female tour guide be a burden
Well, they were pleased to see a handsome guy, but I was very depressed. As soon as the tour guide got on the bus, he looked very familiar. The four of us looked at each other and shouted in unison: "It's you!"
Who is this handsome guy? Everyone knows him. He is Chen Ming, who was almost killed by a nightmare ghost in Huangshan. His girlfriend is Wang Yang, the girl saved by Qu Mo. The two young lovers went to Huangshan to seek marriage, but they got into trouble. They almost died in Huangshan and became ghost couples.
The three of us were their lifesavers, how could he not remember us? He recognized us right away. As we talked, we learned that he and Wang Yang were both from Xi'an. He was a tour guide in this tourist area, and Wang Yang worked in a municipal administrative unit. Oh, so that's how it is. No wonder the girl's family didn't agree. The girl's family must have political background. Of course, they would look down on you as a poor tour guide.
