Chapter 78 Not on the same channel
The six-lane direct national highway from Lizhou to Yiwu City, which passed through the foot of Feilong Mountain, had just been planned. At the beginning of its construction, the leadership of Lizhou changed. As a result, this national highway, which would benefit the Tongxiang area, was not opened until more than ten years later.
Now there is only a simple gravel-paved country road leading to Feilong Mountain. It is bumpy and you have to be very careful when riding a bicycle.
The temple at the foot of the mountain has not been expanded yet. It only has a main hall, two or three simple houses, and a small pond with clear water. An abbot who is nearly sixty years old is in charge of all affairs.
A few years later, a modern temple will be built here, earning tens of millions from renting out health rooms.
The world has changed a lot...
Before Zhou Anan could express her feelings, laughter and bicycle bells could be heard faintly.
"An An, you're here so early, we thought you would be late."
Seeing Zhou Anan by the pond, Ying Chengcheng waved and greeted her with a smile.
“I can run faster than you.”
Looking at the youthful little sister in front of him, Zhou Anan felt a little better and could lie without blushing or breathing hard.
Looking at the pots, pans, and utensils that other people had, Zhou Anan knew that climbing the mountain was fake and barbecue in the wild was real.
There is a waterfall running through Feilong Mountain. The water quality is excellent, and firewood is easily available. The small pool below the waterfall is considered by many people to be a great place for outdoor barbecues.
Of course, before barbecuing, you still have to go through the mountain climbing process.
"It's so dangerous, everyone be careful."
The leader Hu Shangyi pulled the chain nailed to the rock and shouted to the people behind him.
On the steep mountain path, iron stakes are driven into the mountain, and the stakes are connected by a rough chain. Climbing pedestrians can only hold the iron chains with their hands and walk on the uneven mountain path.
Such a challenging mountain road will definitely attract many sports enthusiasts.
Seeing the girls screaming from time to time, Zhou Anan felt a sense of caution growing in her heart.
He had climbed this mountain trail before in his previous life, and it was very exciting every time. Zhou Anan, who was a little afraid of heights, thought it would be better to stay safe down there.
Having finally been reborn, Zhou Anan doesn't want to get involved in any danger.
"An An, hurry up."
Just when Zhou Anan wanted to back out and go back to the foot of the mountain to wait for everyone, Ying Chengcheng, who was walking at the end, poked his waist with his finger, urging him to hurry up.
She also wanted to shout with the girls who had just reached the top, but Ying Chengcheng, who had a little secret in her heart, wanted to follow the boy and walk up in his footsteps.
Having missed such a good opportunity to work during the summer vacation, she felt a little regretful when she talked about it with the girls in her dormitory at university.
"oh."
Zhou Anan was so nervous that she didn't notice that there was a little girl behind her. She took heavy steps helplessly.
My luck shouldn't be that bad, right?
The chain trail starts on the mountainside. The first half is still very flat, but the second half is a bit winding and steep. Zhou Anan wished he could tie his hands on it.
"An An, are you afraid of heights?"
Ying Chengcheng, who was following at the end, walked steadily step by step without any hesitation due to the dangerous mountain road. He even had time to chat with the boy.
"A little bit, and you."
Zhou Anan, who had just reached a corner, first stepped firmly on the upper foot with his right foot, grasped the chain tightly with both hands, and stepped steadily onto the upper staircase.
"I, I'm not afraid of heights. I heard that the place where my class monitor goes to college has the highest bungee jumping platform in the country, and I was thinking about going there sometime when I have time."
Speaking of this, Ying Chengcheng was obviously a little excited.
"oh."
Feeling that she was not on the same page with her little sister, Zhou Anan wisely chose to shut up.
A child who is afraid of heights and a child who gets more excited the higher the height, are destined to be on different paths.
"An An, do you have a boyfriend in college?"
While everyone's attention was on the top of the mountain, Ying Chengcheng, who was the last one to arrive, felt that the opportunity to be alone together was rare, so he asked tentatively.
"Yes, I have a lot of friends in college, my roommates, my classmates, all kinds of friends."
Hearing the little sister's question, Zhou Anan's eyes narrowed slightly as she looked up, then she answered with a smile.
During the time when he ran the barbecue stall, Zhou Anan vaguely felt what the other party meant, but as he was never overly narcissistic, he didn't think too much about it.
Besides, Zhou Anan didn’t have much feelings for this little sister and just hoped that this process that hadn’t even begun would fade away.
If we start, the other person will get hurt in the end. We are high school classmates, so why bother?
"oh."
After finally mustering up the courage to speak, Ying Chengcheng felt a little regretful as soon as the words came out. Shouldn't girls be more reserved to attract boys?
Fortunately, fortunately, after hearing the other party's answer, Ying Chengcheng felt that the boy did not understand the hidden meaning of her words. She was secretly glad and felt even more embarrassed to ask that embarrassing question afterwards.
Zhou Anan, who was walking in front, felt relieved when he heard the girl behind him quiet down. He paid a little attention to her safety while climbing up.
Finally, after more than ten minutes or half an hour, Zhou Anan finally finished walking through this chain mountain trail.
Standing on the top of the mountain above the waterfall, looking into the distance, Zhou Anan couldn't help but let out a breath.
It is indeed refreshing to climb to a high place and see the distant view, but when he thought about walking the same mountain path again, he felt a little nervous.
As for taking another route down the mountain, Zhou Anan would rather go down the original route. The other route near the top of the mountain has no handrails except for a few trees. Although it won't cause you to fall, it is more exciting.
Zhou Anan really couldn't figure it out. Rumor has it that several groups were interested in developing the Feilong Mountain Scenic Area, but until more than ten years later, there was no movement at all. Perhaps the senior bosses couldn't see any profit.
"I'm telling you"
Everyone gathered on the top of the mountain sat on the ground and discussed the pros and cons of their respective universities. What was different from the following years was that there were no selfies or photos.
There are no high-definition camera phones nowadays. Even the legendary Nokia phone cannot access the Internet, but the picture clarity is very impressive and it is still a best-seller all over the world.
Zhou Anan, who seemed to have difficulty integrating into those small groups, just sat there quietly. When someone greeted him, he responded casually, as if he was a transparent existence.
"Go down the mountain, go down the mountain. After the barbecue is over, I will treat everyone to KTV."
As the organizer, Hu Shangyi clapped his hands, causing cheers from the crowd.
Compared with the unity of those who went up the mountain, the people who went down the mountain were divided into two groups. One group wanted to return by the original route and walk along the iron chain mountain trail again; the other group wanted to change a route and look for new excitement.
Zhou Anan chose to return the same way without hesitation, and finally felt relieved when he stepped on the dirt steps on the mountainside.
Life is not easy, so cherish every moment of it.
