Gongmenyan large and small gantry crossing

The crossing route this time is Qiankeng-Gongmenyan-Big and Small Longmen-Sandpit. The crossing is long and difficult. Considering that the crossing time will be relatively long, we set off from Wenzhou at 6:30 early. The chartered bus takes the Zhuyong Expressway to Qiankeng Village under the Gongmenyan Expressway Bridge at about 8 o'clock.

Everyone said it would be sunny today, but all we saw along the way was mist, the mountains were surrounded by fog, and the humidity was heavy. There were thick clouds without any light, and it looked like it was going to rain. I see other people buying raincoats without umbrellas, so I might as well buy one for myself as a spare. Perhaps because of the fog, there were fewer people coming to cross over. People in the village, looking at the weather, are too lazy to go out and stay at home. There was only one farmer at the end of the village who put some rice dumplings for sale.

We walked up the mountain along the village road, and after a while we came to the stone engraved bowl font. After crossing the creek bridge, we walked slowly up the mountain path. After walking for about twenty minutes, we arrived at the first farmhouse - Lao Zhu Farmhouse. In this farmhouse, Red Bull cans are hung on the side of the front hall of the house, and tables and stools are neatly placed in the lobby. I remember it hadn't been started the last time I came here. The house has signs of new bricks and renovations, and it was obviously opened not long ago. We rested here and accidentally met a few traveling friends who had come down from Gongmenyan Camp. Seeing that everyone behind us has followed, we continue walking upward. This time, Meah Occasionally Xiaodi and the others walked in front, and I followed them.

The mountain road is still the familiar mountain road I came here before. The difference is that this time it is wetter than last time and it is very slippery to walk on. Therefore, I still walked carefully in some very slippery places. At a corner, Brother Jiang and a few traveling friends were resting and waiting. I continued walking without stopping to rest and passed them. When I stopped to drink water, a pretty female traveler quietly caught up from behind. Her name is "Simple Love" and it is her first time to participate in a climbing activity like ours. However, I saw that she climbed the mountain very calmly and quickly. She was not tired at all. It was not like climbing a mountain for the first time.

I quickened my pace to catch up with Ouchi and Bieya in front. After a while, he left the female travel companion behind him far behind. At first, you could still hear voices behind you, but soon you couldn't hear them anymore. Ou Ou and Mie Ya who were walking in front were also walking very fast. I wanted to pass them, but I couldn't see anyone. Finally, we were 50 meters away from an uphill road, and we occasionally saw it resting there. When I walk over, sometimes it is no longer there and has gone very far. I started running and walking, but still couldn't see them. I think they are also running away!

After more than half an hour, I arrived at the intersection of Gongmenyan Shangxiaping Village and saw Occasionally, Meie and the others waiting there. I walked over and said to them: "Let's wait for them in Xiaping Village!" They lowered their heads in agreement. When we arrived at Xiaping Village, what remained unchanged was that the walls were covered with outdoor flags from all over the country, but the crowds were obviously much less than the last time we came. Although there are travelers camping and relaxing here, you can still feel the deserted atmosphere with few people. When I entered the lobby, I didn't meet many traveling friends. The landlord was packing things, and an old woman came out to wash the vegetables and kindly asked me to sit down. Baa Baa and occasionally they are taking pictures.

We waited there for about ten minutes, and the people behind us also caught up. Captain Duxiu also called and said that instead of resting in the village, he would go directly to Xiaolongmen. So, we walked together again.

When we came to the terraces, the fog became heavier and heavier. It was really difficult to take a picture of the beautiful scenery. Finally, the fog dispersed a little, and the beautiful stone bowl was exposed a little. When I picked up the SLR and pressed the shutter, the fog covered it again and nothing could be seen. We can only take a rough picture.

Suddenly, Mr. Wei shouted: "The newcomers haven't followed yet, a man and a woman. Duxiu, let's go find him quickly! " "They must have gone to Shangping Village. . Because the two of them were walking behind me. We went down to Xiaping Village first. They didn’t know which village to go to, and they didn’t wait at the intersection. They must have gone to Shangping Village. " I said. The signal in the mountains is not very good, and it is difficult to get through on their phone. Wei Shao ran to a place with signal before contacting them. They were indeed in Shangping Village. Wei Shao and Duxiu stayed to wait for them.

We saw that the fog was too heavy and we couldn’t take any pictures, so we put away the camera and continued walking into the mountains. After a while, we came to a fork in the road. There are four paths here: one on the left, one in the upper left corner, one on the right, and one in the lower right corner. We got lost here and didn't know which way to go, so we all waited here for Captain Duxiu and others to come.

When we are bored, it is quite interesting for everyone to take various selfies with their mobile phones. I was taking selfies with my mobile phone. When I saw the traveling companions behind me, I suddenly had the idea to grab their heads with my own hands. Due to the difference in distance, it looked like my hands were grabbing theirs. The head is the same, look, isn’t it fun? Mea is never willing to be lonely, and she always wants to do something new every time she goes outdoors. This time is no exception. You see, he picked up a broken bamboo with leaves that had not yet shed hair, put it on his head, and said that bamboo was growing on his head. Everyone saw it and laughed. I thought it was funny. The narcissistic Bei Feng took his own selfie stick - a selfie stick, clamped his iPhone, and showed off his POSS there: Sometimes he pouted his lips in a cute way, sometimes he turned sideways and twisted his waist. Zhang, making faces from time to time. In short, she takes selfies to the extreme. People around her were affected by her and took photos with her selfie tool. I am also a narcissistic person, so I will never miss such a fun selfie, so I will take two.

Beifeng is a very cheerful girl. This is the second time she has walked outdoors with us. In just these two times, she has become very familiar with us. Her cheerful and outgoing personality infects everyone, and she is very popular, and everyone is willing to communicate with her. With her here, it doesn't matter if the fog is heavy and you can't see the scenery. Because she is a bright spot in this mountain, and it is a moving bright spot.

At this fork in the road, after playing for a long time, some people couldn't wait any longer, so they called Duxiu behind to confirm the route. Meaima still has the personality of always rushing forward. Looking at the road, he felt that it was the road on the right, so without waiting for Duxiu to confirm, he went there first. Some people who couldn't wait any longer followed Meie. I hesitated for a moment, then followed them.

Sometimes it’s right to just go with what you feel, and people behind you are coming over this way one after another. The higher you go, the smaller the road becomes. Some of them are not roads at all. If there are roads, they are all made by traveling friends. The humidity gets heavier as you go up. You still have to walk very carefully on the path made on the edge of the cliff. The people walking in front keep reminding the people behind to pay attention to safety, while the people behind keep reminding the people in front to pay attention to small stones and be careful when they step on them and hit the people behind.

There is a rock slope ahead. Although there are many stepping points, the wet rocks are a bit slippery when climbing, which also increases the difficulty of climbing. At this time, the people who had climbed on top were looking at the people behind, reminding the people behind to pay attention to safety from time to time, and directing where to step with their feet and where to grab their hands. In this way, everyone helped each other and took care of each other, and finally came out safely one by one. Of course, after we passed this rock slope, there were other similar rock slopes ahead. We used the same method and worked together safely to pass one after another safely.

Finally, we came to a fork in the road. At this fork in the road, there is a ravine that goes straight up, and there is a trace that the traveler on the left has obviously stepped on, with a red ribbon as a mark. We were not sure which way to go for a while, so we all gathered here to rest and discuss which way to go.

Maybe we were a little tired from walking, so everyone found a place to sit down and rest. Those who eat eat, those who drink drink water. A big dead tree fell on the road, and all the bark fell off. Boss Yu saw someone sitting on it, so he went over to sit on it. After sitting there for a long time, I heard a "click" and it suddenly broke. At this time, everyone laughed, and everyone said: "Boss Yu, sit down and break the big tree! Boss Yu, sit down and break the big tree!" Boss Yu saw that he had broken the big tree, and he was also happy. , stood up and took pictures immediately to record this interesting scene.

Wei Shao kept using his mobile phone's GPS to navigate, and finally decided to take the road on the left. So, I was the first to go up from the left road, and I said to myself: "This time I will take the first one." The people behind me also followed one after another. Ouchi Hesong, who was following me, was also walking very fast. Just when I stopped to take a breath, Brother Song, who was right behind me, overtook me and walked in front. Soon we reached a saddle ridge.

As soon as the people who came up arrived at Anling, they stopped to rest. I have been rushing upwards just now, now I can take a breath and rest. Some people who came from behind did not care whether the ground was dirty or wet. They sat down on the ground to rest before they could catch their breath.

There are still two roads in Anling, one is not obvious and goes up the cliff on the right, and the other is more obvious and goes down. At this time, Wei Shao also took out the GPS navigation on his mobile phone, analyzed and confirmed it carefully, and finally decided to take the following path. Just when I was taking pictures of the people behind me, Meah and the others had already started to walk in front. I then followed them.

This road is relatively steep, so you have to hold on to the branches next to it when going down. Soon, the red ribbon mark on the straight path turned into a red ribbon mark on the upward rock wall, so we walked up the rock wall. It seemed that the bright place ahead was approaching, but when we went up, it was still far ahead. The person immediately behind me started shouting: "I'm short of oxygen. If the front hasn't arrived yet, I won't leave! " The person behind me also kept shouting: "Are you there yet? Are you there yet? I can't walk anymore. " I had been walking in front of them for a while. I thought that if I held on, I would be there. Unexpectedly, after walking for a while, there is still another. At this time, my heart began to waver: Why haven’t I reached the top of the mountain yet? Did you go the wrong way? But I see that the road sections we pass are marked with red ribbons, so there should be nothing wrong. So continue walking up. The people behind continued to shout: "The ones in front, are they almost there? " "It should be almost there. " I comforted them with some uncertainty.

After a restless climb, I finally heard the sound of music playing from the speakers at the top of the mountain. I seemed to see a glimmer of light, and happily shouted to the top: "Is there anyone up there?! Hello!" No one above responded to me, only the sound of singing surrounded me. I followed the direction of the speaker and climbed up. The sound of the song became more and more obvious, and finally, I saw a person wearing a yellow helmet in front of me, and that person was Meme. "Oh my God! Why are you the first one to come up? I remember that I was the first one to walk in front later." I looked at Bieya and asked in surprise. "I was the first to come up from this road!" Mea said calmly. "It seems that the God is the God, and the speed is fast." I said with admiration in my heart.

The road we came up is connected from left to right, to be precise, it is a complete road. You can go left and right, but we don’t know which way to go, so we just wait here for the people behind us to come up. At this time, I quickly asked Meie to take some close-ups of me.

Occasionally, who was following closely, shouted again: "Zero distance, is this the road?" "Yes! Occasionally. It's just up the road marked with a red ribbon on the left." I shouted loudly said. After a while, Occasion came up, and the people behind him also came up. When everyone came up, Wei Shao took out the GPS navigation on his mobile phone and determined that he was walking in the left direction, so everyone walked in the left direction.

Not long after walking, we saw Xiaolongmen. This made everyone excited and confirmed that we are on the right path. Everyone took out their mobile phones and cameras and took pictures one after another. After taking photos, we moved on.

After passing Xiaolongmen, we walked for a while and came to an open ridge. There is fog in front of this ridge, and nothing can be seen. We were standing on a ridge surrounded by mist, as if we were walking on a footbridge. It felt so magical and wonderful.

Walking down from the ridge, we soon came to the first cliff drop point. We saw another outdoor team rappelling down there. There was still some time to watch them rappelling, so we had lunch there. Once they have finished rappelling, we will descend again.

They didn’t bring much downhill equipment. Once they descended, they would pull up the downhill safety belt before descending again. Fortunately, when we came, most of the descent had already started. When they rappelled down for the last time, we also started preparing for the rappelling. According to visual inspection, this cliff drop point is about fifteen meters, not very high, and there are many grabbing points. If it is a sunny day, people with strong climbing ability can climb down with bare hands.

Wei Shao tied the rope and asked Captain Duxiu to go down first and take safety protection measures below. Then let us three female donkeys get off first. Most of our team, including the three female donkeys, did not have outdoor equipment. Mr. Wei used a flat rope to protect them, and the captain below directed them to come down. The male donkey, who did not have the equipment for rappelling, pulled the rope down.

After descending the first rock drop, he came to the second rock drop point shortly after walking. There are many people at this drop point. Upon inquiry, these people are from the outdoor team coming to Nanjing. They came by bus, with local farmers as guides, and they took a circuitous route. That is, it was still the original Qiankeng Village when they went out. There are 26 of them in total, mostly female donkeys. And they are quite old, in their forties or fifties. They didn’t have any equipment, only the team leader brought a pair of downhill equipment. Without helmet protection, I felt it was very dangerous to rely solely on the leader’s downhill equipment, and the descent was also slow.

Wei Shao and Du Xiu, who were following behind, saw that there were so many people rappelling and it would take at least two hours before it was our turn to descend, so they set up two rappelling points nearby. At this time, it also rained. There was no place to take shelter from the rain, so we could only get wet. Travelers wearing short-sleeved shirts and those with weaker constitutions also started to feel a little cold. So it is necessary to slow down quickly.

The second rock drop is about fifty meters, which is much higher than the first one. Although there are many mining points, the wet rock is still very slippery. In order to take better safety protection measures, the captain went down first to give instructions, and asked Occasionally to stand in the middle for protection. Wei Shao tied the flat rope to the female donkey. When everything is safe, let the female donkey go down first. Our unequipped male donkey also slowly pulled down with the help of another rope.

When the fourteen of us travel friends came down safely, the Nanjing travel friends standing below were dumbfounded. They couldn’t help but give us a thumbs up and said: "You are well equipped, you are so professional, you are so awesome. We were earlier than you, We haven’t finished the descent yet. You are so old and it is your first time to descend without equipment. You must wear a helmet when going outdoors. Also give them a piece of advice. They nodded and said, "Yes. Yes."

It was almost 2 o'clock when we came down. In order to rush for time, we didn't take much rest and continued walking forward. We have to climb up and down again. There is a downhill slope that is steeper and slippery than the previous one, with few gripping points and sliding down in some places. After this steep slope, walk along the rock wall. I found that I was walking farther and farther ahead, and I couldn’t see the mark left by the red ribbon. Bieme, who was walking in front, felt something was wrong. Just call Mr. Wei. Wei Shao took out his mobile phone's GPS navigation and found that he was going the wrong way. So, we went back and walked. On the branch opposite a rock wall, I saw a red ribbon. The red ribbon mark was not obvious enough. There was no red ribbon mark on the original way up the cliff, so everyone went forward in the wrong direction.

After passing the back of this cliff, continue walking up. It didn’t take long before we reached the third rock descent point. This rock drop point is longer than the first one and shorter than the second one. It is estimated to be about 20 to 30 meters. However, the slopes are steeper than the previous two, and there are fewer grabbing points. Lift your head and look down, almost vertically, making you feel a little dizzy. At this time, many travel friends began to worry. Especially for those who don’t have downhill equipment.

Dabu is one of the three female donkeys this time, and also the most powerful one. I usually run long distances and have participated in marathons. However, it was my first time to participate in a rappelling activity on such a high cliff. I had experienced rappelling twice before, but I still felt that I had no bottom and was still very scared. She couldn't help but mutter to herself: "What should I do? It's so high, can I get down?" After a long wait, the moisture penetrated her whole body, and her thin body began to tremble, and she kept muttering: "Wow "It's so cold! It's so cold!" The thin "air above the cloud" beside him also started to tremble. Fortunately for me, I am relatively fat and have a lot of fat, so I didn’t feel cold.

Wei Shao still adopted two methods of rapid descent. It is recommended that those who are capable can use a rope to pull down. Brother Song volunteered and was the first to try to pull him down with a rope. When he was about to go down, he asked the fish boss above to take a close-up of him. Brother Song served as a soldier in the armed police. In the army, little KS was trained in climbing and rappelling. Although he has been retired for 18 years, his foundation is still there. In addition, he usually has cycling and running training, so, let’s see The seemingly dangerous cliff of more than twenty meters was as simple as a squirrel climbing a tree in front of him. I saw him, squatting back with his buttocks, feet spread wide, and the soles of his feet planted firmly. When he kicked down, he put down his hands. In this way, one foot and one hand cooperated tacitly, and he went down rhythmically.

I gave him a thumbs up for his superb rappelling skills, and I really admired him. Not to be outdone, I also wanted to be the second one to try abseiling. When I took the rope and descended for a while, my hands obviously felt very difficult. Just find a place to rest. Occasionally, the protector on the side kept advising me: "Zero distance, take a rest when you are tired, and then go down. Make sure you step on the spot when you go down." I said, "Okay." After resting for a while, I felt strong. , and began to continue rappelling. Maybe I didn't get enough rest or something. When I went down this time, my hands were even less strong. The soles of my feet were slippery. I accidentally slipped and my hands couldn't hold on to the rope. I just slipped. Went down. At this time, the people above and below all screamed in panic: "Ah!...Ah!...Ah!" When I slid down, my heart was relatively calm and I didn't panic. I held my hand firmly. Even if I don't have the strength to hold on to the rope, I will still hold on to it. Duxiu, the captain below, reacted very quickly and pulled another rappel rope to block me. Fortunately, my feet hooked on the rope. Luckily it didn't fall.

When I got up, the people around me asked with concern: "How is it?! Is everything okay?!" Bieme hadn't recovered yet, and asked me in a panic: "Is everything okay?! Is everything okay? ! We all have to put the safety belt up, why did you come down without taking protective measures?" After that, he blamed Brother Song, who was the first to descend, and said: "You shouldn't use the rope to pull down. If you don't come, others will learn from you. Everyone's abilities are limited. If you have the ability, you may think you can do it easily, but others may not be able to do it." Brother Song nodded quickly and apologized.

Bieme's advice and blame are reasonable, so I am very grateful to Bieme, to the captain Duxiu who pulled my rope, and to the travel friends who cared about me at the scene. At this moment, I think you are the cutest people.

I should be responsible for my stupid behavior and learn a bloody lesson. Here I would also like to give some advice to those who are as aggressive as me: Being aggressive is the devil. If you are not very sure of yourself, don’t do it. Even if you are sure, you still need to be more cautious. Safety first is the most important thing, never joke with your own life!

Fortunately, I fell and had a backpack to cushion me. I only scratched my skin a little, but nothing else was serious. Everyone is relieved to see that I am okay. However, the people above were more careful. Those male donkeys without equipment did not dare to come down with ropes with bare hands. The people behind were still wearing safety belts and descending one by one.

I saw that when the captain pulled me, my hand was slightly strained. I went over and asked him to go down first and let me pull the rope. Captain Duxiu still insisted on asking me to go down first, and he was still in charge here. At this time, I was particularly touched. I felt that Captain Duxiu was worthy of being our captain. He had conscientiously performed the duties of a captain and behaved like a captain.

When we were about to go down, we only heard a person shouting desperately from below. The voice was not very clear, but we could vaguely hear: "When you people above come down, be careful not to step on the small stones." We. we agreed."

When the man came up from below, I looked carefully. It turned out to be a local guide, about fifty years old, dark and thin, wearing a raincoat and came up empty-handed. I also advised him: "The rock wall above is very slippery, please pay attention to safety. I just fell from it." "It's okay. I walk here often. As long as you keep the nylon rope, I can go up." The guide said calmly.

Later, according to Captain Duxiu, that man was really powerful. He climbed up from below with nothing and no protection, which made us all dumbfounded. This is really a master among the people!

I went down below and met up with the others. We'll wait for them at the fork. Meie said: "The guide said that down this road is our sand pit village. Let's wait here for them to come down and walk together." So, we waited there.

After some time, Bieme couldn't wait any longer, so he went downstairs with Xirenmi and the others. Brother Song went up to call them, leaving Bei Feng and me alone. I saw Bie Baa going down, so I said to Bei Feng: "Then let's go down too! Brother Song is up there to send them a message." "Okay." Bei Feng said. So, we walked along the road down the mountain.

After walking for a while, I didn't see Bie Bah. Bei Feng seemed a little nervous and kept shouting: "Bah Bah!...Bah Bah!..." But Bah Bah didn't respond. "No response, they should have gone away." I said. But after walking for a while, Bei Feng started shouting again: "Bah baa!...Bah baa!..." Still no response. At this time, Bei Feng seemed to be a little confused and kept saying: "Did we go the wrong way? We walked for so long and there was no response, and we didn't see the red ribbon mark." "It doesn't matter, next. The mountain road is just this one, and we will reach the village if we go on. Once we reach the village, we will be safe," I comforted her. Sure enough, after walking for a while, we saw the red ribbon mark, and Beifeng felt relieved and walked away. After walking a little further we saw the village.

We walked to the mountains and met an old man growing vegetables. Beifeng went over and asked: "Old man, is this a sand pit village?" The old man replied in very non-standard Mandarin: "Yes." So. We walked to the village with confidence. When I get to the end, I shout baa baa again. Baa also responded to us. We followed Baht's response and found out Baht was waiting for us in a farmhouse above.

Mie told us: "I called Mr. Wei just now, and Mr. Wei said that we went the wrong way, and it's not Shakeng Village down there. Shakeng Village is cut across from another road, and it's probably more than 7 miles away. So, Captain Duxiu and Wei Shao are going to the sand pit to meet the master and drive over because the master doesn’t know the location of this village. Let’s wait for them here!”

When Bieme saw us coming, he asked the farmer to sell some eggs, beat them and cook them. An egg costs two yuan. I bought 8 of them. Four people each get exactly two eggs. The farmer's house didn't have soy sauce, vinegar, or MSG, so he just put a little salt in the egg soup. The egg soup looks a bit sloppy and ugly, but it still tastes pretty good. These are authentic eggs laid by local chickens in the mountains!

Not long after we finished drinking the egg soup, the team members from behind also arrived one after another. They must have been hungry too, so Xiao Bangchui asked the farmer to cook noodles for everyone to eat. After finishing the noodles, I still cooked rice. Occasionally I ate dried noodles and two large bowls of rice. Xiaobangchui touched his belly and felt that he could eat another bowl. But the farmer’s one-pot meal, eaten by so many people, has long been gone. Brother Jiang, ask someone to share some eggs and fry them with green onions and eggs. Seeing him chopping vegetables and mixing eggs skillfully, he must be the master chef in the family and often cooks. Considering that the captain Wei Shao and the driver behind them had not eaten yet, they asked the farmer to cook another pot of rice. Brother Jiang also personally cooked one or two dishes for them.

The wait was long, because the captains Duxiu and Wei Shao had to run 7 kilometers in the mountains to pick up the driver, and it also took time to ask the driver to pick us up from a sandpit far away. We were bored waiting, so we took pictures everywhere. When our clothes got wet, we warmed ourselves by the fire in the stove. In the mountains, China Mobile and China Unicom have no signal, only China Telecom has signal. Everyone used telecom mobile phones with signal to report to their families that they were safe.

The village we are waiting for is called Linkengtou Village. Currently, there are only two families living there. There are two old people living in the farmhouse where we rest. The old man said that they first lived in the mountain, which was also an old revolutionary area. It was the Communist Party that moved them here from the mountains. Because transportation in mountainous areas is inconvenient and life is difficult, many people have gone to work outside and have moved away. They are the only ones who still live here. He said his son also moved down there. I don't come here during work, and I only come to visit them during the Chinese New Year and holidays. Now that life is better, his children asked them to move downstairs, but he said he was used to living in the mountains and didn't want to move away, so he stayed there. At almost 7 o'clock, the captain and the others drove over. They finished their meal in a hurry, and we took the car back. This is the end of this exciting and thrilling journey.
