Chapter 5 Chapter 5
The weekend is coming soon.Ye Chen arranged a shift with the bar early, and sent the boss to the previous pet hospital.The lady who received him at the pet hospital was still the lady from last time, with an extremely enthusiastic attitude, and Ye Chen was a little flattered.
Waking up by Lilith before dawn on Saturday morning, Ye Chen picked up the big backpack that he had prepared in advance, locked the door and took a ride to the Star Rail Station in the center of the city.
The star track station is quite magnificent, and the smooth and magnificent architectural lines can be called works of art.If he didn't know it in advance, Ye Chenjue would never have thought that this well-designed building is a traffic station.Unlike the crowded train station in the previous life, although there are many people at the Star Rail Station, the traffic is orderly and the space is arranged reasonably, so it doesn't look crowded and messy at all.
Ye Chen arrived at the waiting hall where they were, found an empty seat, sat down and waited quietly for Ji Dong.
Ye Chen was watching the news pushed by the system from the terminal when suddenly someone patted his shoulder from behind. Ye Chen turned around and saw Lin Yi standing behind him smiling at him.
"Are you here?" Ye Chen quickly stood up.
Lin Yi is a young man in his 20s, carrying a huge travel bag on his body. He is quite tall. His skin has the kind of wheat color that is often sunburned in outdoor activities. There is a hearty smile on his face. People feel good.
"Sorry, we're a bit late." Lin Yi explained with an embarrassed smile.
"It's okay, it's because I came early." Ye Chen smiled.
"This is the partner we went with this time." Lin Yi smiled and introduced the few people standing behind him to Ye Chen. "Lin Xiao, this is my sister, I have to follow her this time. She walked with me a few times before," Lin Yi pointed to a cute girl with a ponytail and introduced, "Smile, This is Ye Chen, I mentioned it to you."
"Brother Ye Chen, hello." Seeing his eyes light up, Lin Xiao greeted him as cheerfully as his brother without being shy.
"Hello." Ye Chen also replied with a smile.
Standing next to Lin Xiao was a square-faced man named Liu Chao. He was in his thirties, slightly older than them. Lin Yi and the others knew him well, and the team called him Brother Liu.There is also Cai Lu who I met before and participated in the event together, and there is a young man in his twenties named Yang Qi, who Ye Chen doesn't know, and it seems that it is the first time to take a long line like Ye Chen.There were six of them in this line.
Liu Chao is relatively stable and not very talkative, but he has a good temper and answers all questions.Cai Lu is not tall, his skin is slightly dark because he is often outdoors, and he still looks a little sleepy.Yang Qi is a tall young man with a somewhat haughty face.
The tickets had already been booked on the Zhinao, and it was the earliest bus. When the time came, everyone got on the bus together.Several people were seated next to each other, and there was not much difference in age between them. They were all young people, and they got to know each other quickly after saying hello.
Ye Chen sat on the seat and fastened his seat belt. Not long after, the train beeped a few "didi" departure reminders.The carriage doors were slowly closed, and the train started slowly.Ye Chen was still thinking about the difference between Star Trail and the high-speed rail in his previous life, but he just felt that his body was sunk into the chair by inertia.Before he could react, the scenery outside the window had receded like flying, and the car had already started.
Ye Chen looked out of the window in amazement, no wonder the speed was several thousand kilometers and it took only two or three hours to arrive.
As for why it is called Xing Gui, Ye Chen also checked the origin of the name on the Internet.There are always different opinions. There is a saying that when the star track is running at high speed, the lights on the car bring out a psychedelic streamer, which looks like shooting stars in the dark night from a distance.Whether this statement is true or not, it has won the approval of most people.
Ye Chen gradually got used to this speed after experiencing the short ear drum noise at the beginning.
"Brother Ye Chen, is there anything outside?" Seeing Ye Chen looking out the window, Lin Xiao asked curiously beside him.
"It's nothing." Ye Chen withdrew his gaze and turned his head to meet Lin Xiao's eager eyes. He was stunned to see Lin Yi's snickering eyes behind him, and he couldn't help but have some black lines.
"Brother Ye Chen, how long have you known my brother?" Lin Xiao asked curiously.
"Not long, about a month."
"Brother Marven Ye, what do you usually do? I didn't see you at the group gathering in the past two weeks."
"I usually stay at home, and sometimes I write something to make money. I happened to have some things to get out of the party last time, so I didn't make it." Actually, Ji Dong and the others also called Ye Chen at the party last time, but Ye Chen Firstly, Chen didn't know the people in the group well and didn't really want to go, and secondly, he happened to be going to the bar to work, so he declined Ji Dong simply.
"Ah, writing? Is Brother Ye a writer?" Lin Xiao opened his eyes curiously.
Ye Chen shook his head quickly, before he could deny it.Yang Qi in front turned around and interrupted, "What kind of writer, don't substitute yourself,
Brother Ye said that he was just writing at home. "
Lin Xiao next to him was not happy to be interrupted by him, and dissatisfied, "Brother Ye hasn't refuted yet, why are you interrupting?"
Ye Chen rounded things up with a smile, "I'm really not a writer, I just write some small things for magazines."
Lin Xiao didn't know what to say when he heard it, so he turned his eyes and pulled Ye Chen to talk about something else.Yang Qi pursed his lips and listened, and occasionally interrupted Lin Xiao when he couldn't listen anymore.Lin Yi covered his mouth and sniggered beside him, while Ye Chen was caught in the middle with a headache and was a little embarrassed. He made up his mind that he would never participate in any activities with the two of them in the team.Liu Chao and Cai Lu sat on the other side of the aisle and slept with their eyes closed.
The journey of two to three hours came quickly, and several people followed the flow of people down the star trail one after another.After leaving the Star Orbit Station, Ye Chen was surrounded by greenery all around him.The southwest is mountainous, and the greenery on the mountain is much better than that in the north, with lush green trees everywhere.Ye Chen felt that the air was much better than in City B.
The Star Track Station is built next to the protected area. After leaving the station, you can take a shuttle bus in the scenic spot to reach the entrance of the scenic spot.
Ye Chen looked at his watch, it was only □□ in the morning, and the station was already crowded with tourists from all over the world, as well as students from schools in surrounding towns who came for outings.Ye Chen followed Ji Dong, passed through a group of people speaking accents from all over the world, found the driver he had contacted in advance, and pulled them directly to their destination.
Southwest is worthy of being a national key protected landscape nature reserve, with beautiful mountains and lush trees in the reserve.Red rhododendrons are blooming all over the mountain. The stream flowing down from the top of the mountain washes over the rocks and forms a series of shining small waterfalls on the mountainside to flow down the mountain.
When Ye Chen passed through, the north had been plagued by drought for many years. There was little rain and drought. In many places, there were only bare rocks on the mountains.Although he had done a travel column for a while, it was his first time visiting the Southwest. Ye Chen was very novel, and felt that his mood brightened with the scenery.
"Brother Ye Chen, brother Ye Chen, look there. Isn't it beautiful." Lin Xiao pulled Ye Chen and pointed to a small waterfall on the mountain.
The small waterfall fell halfway up the mountain, and then disappeared in the green mountain, which was illuminated by the sun like a shining ribbon.Ye Chen nodded, his eyes slightly narrowed by the sunlight.Suddenly he seemed to see a shadow flashing past in the small waterfall.He couldn't help rubbing his eyes, the shadow had disappeared.
"Maybe I misread it." Ye Chen thought, how could there be people in the waterfall, even normal people can't reach that height.He looked at Lin Xiao's face next to him. Lin Xiao was looking at the surrounding scenery with great interest, and turned his head to see Ye Chen was looking at her quite intently, blushing with embarrassment.
Watching from the side, Yang Qi tightly clenched the backpack in his hand.
Ye Chen took a closer look, there was no abnormality on Lin Xiao's face, obviously he didn't see the figure in the waterfall.Is that really a mistake?Ye Chen thought about it and turned his head away, but he didn't see Lin Xiao beside him and pouted in disappointment.
Due to the short distance, the car arrived at the destination very quickly.A few of them got off the car at the foot of the mountain, looking at the undulating mountains eager to try.
Duoji, the guide Ji Dong contacted before, has also arrived.Ye Chen and the others simply ate something to refresh themselves at the foot of the mountain.Ye Chen and Lin Xiao were eating here, and they saw Duoji and Jiong Yi sitting at the next table talking.
Dorje is very young, about 30 or [-] years old.His skin is dark, his face is slightly tinged with plateau red, and he has white teeth when he smiles, which is particularly eye-catching.Dorji is a descendant of the local ethnic minorities. Although the earth is one family now, the mountain people living in the mountains still retain some living habits of the ethnic minorities, and their clothes are also unique to the local ethnic minorities.
Ye Chen looked at Ji Dong and Duoji and didn't know what to say. Their expressions were a little serious, and they seemed a little difficult to deal with.
Ye Chen walked by curiously, and heard Duoji say to Ji Dong, "Well, it's not impossible, but you must listen to me. When I say no, you must go back immediately."
Lin Yi nodded.Dorje's complexion improved a bit.
Ye Chen asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Lin Yi turned his head and saw that it was him, then looked back and saw that other people were still eating beside him, so he immediately felt relieved.He said to Ye Chen: "It's nothing. Duoji said that it's not safe to bring some poachers in Langshan, so we need to be careful along the way."
"Ah?" Ye Chen was surprised, poaching?Unexpectedly, in this era, the profession of poaching is still alive and well.Everyone is here, so we can't just go back like this, can we?
Ji Dong obviously shares this point of view, and it's unrealistic to have already come and gone.
"It's okay, I discussed it with Dorji. He took us on a safe route, and we listened to his arrangements throughout the whole process. This is a protected area, and those poachers should not be so arrogant to attack people."
Ye Chen nodded, "It's always right to be careful."
Ji Dong chatted with Duoji again, and seeing that the time was almost up, he called a few people to set off together.
Under the leadership of Duoji, several people bypassed the route with many tourists.Start from the woods on the south side of the reserve and head west.
The scenery in the reserve is naturally beautiful, and at the beginning, several people looked left and right with great interest.But after walking for three or four hours, no one cared enough to appreciate it.
Ye Chen is fine, he has been exercising a lot these days, and his body is still young, so he can handle it.Lin Xiao was chatting with Ye Chen at first, but soon lost her strength, and asked her brother and Ye Chen to share some equipment.
Seeing that everyone was exhausted, Lin Yi discussed with the guide how many people should rest for a while before leaving.The guide looked at the sky, nodded and promised them to rest for a while in the valley ahead.
As if they were being pardoned, they wished they could fly to the valley ahead immediately, especially Lin Xiao, she was a girl, her physical strength had already been exhausted, but she kept pushing herself because she was afraid of dragging her feet.Hearing that they could rest in front, they immediately raised their spirits and followed them forward.
Several people walked for more than half an hour before reaching the valley mentioned by the guide Dorji.This valley is located at the foot of Langshan Mountain, which can be regarded as the dividing line between Langshan Mountain and the nearby Xuefeng.
The guide Dorji took them to rest beside a stream.
Ye Chen took off his backpack and rubbed his heavy shoulders.The clothes inside were already drenched with sweat, and it was uncomfortable to stick to his body, but his head was hot and sweaty.He took the stream water with his hands and washed his face, and was shocked by the ice of the stream water.
Duoji laughed while watching from the side, and explained to him that these streams are melted water from the nearby snow-capped mountains. Although it is summer now, the water in the mountains is still very cold.
Ye Chen wiped the water off his face, looked up at the surrounding snow peaks.
The valley in summer is very beautiful, with wild flowers blooming everywhere, and rhododendrons blooming in twos and threes in the forest along the stream.There was no one else around except the seven of them.Only the chirping of birds could be heard from the surrounding mountains.
"It's so beautiful." Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Yes," Dorji next to him said, "Although I grew up in this mountain and brought many people here, I just never get tired of watching it. Every time I watch it, it's as amazing as the first time."
"Hey, are there still people living in this mountain?" Ye Chen was curious, he thought that there were no residents in the reserve.
"Yes. Our ancestors have lived in the mountains for generations. It's just that now the protected area is planned to prevent hunting and logging, but the forest still needs to be guarded. Many villagers who don't want to live in the city simply become forest rangers. There are treasures everywhere in this forest, not only to guard against those who poach, but also guard against those who steal trees."
"I heard from Ji Dong that there have been poachers recently?" Ye Chen hesitated, but still asked.
"En," Duoji nodded solemnly. "A while ago, the forest rangers said that they heard gunshots in the west when they were patrolling the mountain. They searched but found nothing. Everyone is very nervous these days. These poachers have guns in their hands, so everyone should be careful this time. some."
Ye Chen nodded, and chatted with Duoji for a few more words.
"There are a lot of poachers here?"
"Actually, there are not many. In recent years, the inspection has been stricter, and the price on the black market has been rising year by year. So there will still be people who take the risk, hunt animals and sell them to aliens, and the price can increase hundreds of times. And there are some on our mountain. Rare tree species are not easy to survive, so they also need to be protected."
Ye Chen was speechless, he seemed to be a person who would take risks for his own interests in any age. "Isn't our protected area also equipped with police force?"
Dorji nodded, "Yes, but you see that the reserve is so big, and they often hide in the mountains when poachers are discovered. It's hard to find out. But in recent years, the crackdown has been severe, and if caught is a heavy sentence, so poachers It's indeed restrained." Duoji sighed.
Ye Chen nodded, this is indeed a fact.
Next to him, Liu Chao and Lin Yi came over.Liu Chao took a bottle of water and drank it while walking. After drinking, he sat down on the stone next to Ye Chen and asked him, "How about Xiao Ye? Can you still hold it?"
Ye Chen smiled and said, "I'm fine."
"It's good to be young. Like me, I feel that my physical strength is obviously weaker than the first two years. It seems that I still have to exercise." Liu Chao said with emotion.
"It's not that exaggerated." Ye Chen smiled.
"Brother Liu is fine, as long as my sister-in-law doesn't say anything." Cai Lu spoke beside him.
Everyone roared with laughter.Liu Chao has a very good relationship with his wife, and every time he comes out at the right time, he will bring her a gift.Those who are familiar with him know that they always use this to tease him.
"Fuck you, find someone if you have the ability, don't entertain me." Liu Chao made a gesture to throw stones at him, but Cai Lu avoided him with a smile.
Lin Xiao next to her was still a little girl, she didn't have the nerve to start a conversation, she just lowered her head and snickered.
After a short rest, Duoji looked at the sky and told them to get up and hurry.
After a long journey, several people finally arrived at the rest area selected by Duoji before dark.
