Back To 2005

Originally, the six-lane direct national road from Lizhou to Yiwu City at the foot of Feilong Mountain had just been planned. At the beginning of the construction, Lizhou’s leadership changed.

Now there is only a country road paved with simple stones leading to Feilong Mountain. It is full of potholes, and you have to be careful when riding a bicycle.

The temple at the foot of the mountain has not yet been expanded. There is only one main hall, two or three simple houses, and a small pond that is crystal clear. An abbot who is nearly sixty years old is in charge of everything.

A few years later, a modern temple will be built here, earning tens of millions by renting out health care rooms.

The vicissitudes of life...

Before Zhou Anan could express his emotions, a burst of laughter and the sound of bicycle bells could be heard faintly.

"An'an, you arrived so early, we thought you were going to be late."

Seeing Zhou An'an by the pond, Ying Chengcheng, who was full of smiles, waved hello.

"I run faster than you."

Looking at the youthful little sister in front of him, Zhou An'an's mood improved a bit, and she didn't blush or breathe when she told a lie.

Looking at the appearance of other people's pots and pans, Zhou An'an knows that mountain climbing is fake, and outdoor barbecue is real.

There is a waterfall running through Feilong Mountain. The water quality is excellent, and firewood is easy to get. The small pool under the waterfall is an excellent place for outdoor barbecue in many people's minds.

Of course, before the barbecue, the process of climbing the mountain still has to go.

"It's so dangerous, everyone be careful."

Hu Shangyi, the leader, pulled the chain nailed to the rock and shouted to the people behind.

On the steep mountain road, iron piles are pierced into the mountain body one by one, and there is a rough chain connecting the iron piles. Pedestrians who climb can only hold the iron chain with their hands and walk on the uneven mountain road.

Such a challenging mountain road will definitely attract many sports enthusiasts.

Watching those girls screaming from time to time, Zhou Anan felt a kind of daunting caution in his heart.

It's not that he has never climbed this mountain path in his previous life, and every time he felt very exciting, Zhou An'an, who was a little afraid of heights, felt that it was better to stay at the bottom safely.

After being reborn with great difficulty, Zhou An'an didn't want to get involved in a dangerous situation.

"An'an, hurry up."

Just when Zhou An'an was about to back down 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 and urged him to leave quickly.

She also wanted to yell with the girls who had just climbed to the top, but Ying Chengcheng, who had a little secret in her heart, wanted to follow the boy and walk up in his footsteps.

She missed such a good opportunity to work during the summer vacation. When she chatted with the girl in the same dormitory at the university, she regretted it a little.

"Oh."

Zhou Anan was so nervous that he didn't notice that there was a little sister behind him, so Zhou Anan took some heavy steps helplessly.

The luck should not be so bad, right?

The chain path starts on the mountainside, the first half is still very stable, and the second half is a bit steep and curved, Zhou Anan can't wait to 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 because of the difficulty of the mountain road, during which time he still had time to chat with the boy.

"A little bit, what about you?"

Zhou An'an, who had just walked to a corner, first stepped on the upper foothold with his right foot, grasped the chain with both hands, and walked up a ladder steadily.

"I, I'm not afraid of heights. I heard that there is the highest bungee jumping in the country where the squad leader studied in college. I'm still thinking about going there when I have time."

Speaking of this, Ying Chengcheng was obviously a little excited.

"Oh."

Feeling that she was not on the same channel as her little sister, Zhou An'an wisely chose to shut up.

Children who are afraid of heights and children who are more excited when they get taller are destined to go on different paths.

"An'an, do you have any friends in college?"

While everyone's attention was on the top of the mountain, Ying Chengcheng, who was at the end, felt that it was a rare opportunity for the two of them to be alone, so he asked tentatively.

"Yes, I have many friends in college, in the same dormitory and in the same class."

Listening to the little sister's question, Zhou An'an stared upward slightly, and then answered with a smile.

During the time when he was running the barbecue stall, Zhou Anan vaguely felt what the other party meant, but he, who had never been too narcissistic, didn't think deeply about it.

What's more, Zhou An'an didn't have much feeling for this little sister, and only hoped that this unstarted process would fade away and disappear.

If it starts, it will eventually hurt the other party. They are all high school classmates, so why bother.

"Oh."

After finally having the courage to speak up, Ying Chengcheng felt that he regretted the words as soon as he uttered them. Girls have to be more reserved to attract boys.

It's okay, okay, Ying Chengcheng, who heard the other party's answer, felt that the boy didn't understand the meaning hidden in her words, so he was secretly glad, and then he was even more embarrassed to ask that embarrassing question.

Zhou An'an, who was walking in front, was relieved when he heard the girl behind him quiet down, and paid a little attention to her safety when climbing up.

Finally, after more than ten minutes or half an hour, Zhou An'an finally walked the chain mountain path.

Standing on the top of the mountain above the waterfall, looking across the distance, Zhou Anan couldn't help but exhale.

Climbing high and looking into the distance is indeed refreshing, but thinking of re-walking the mountain path just now, he feels a little flustered.

As for going down the mountain by another road, Zhou An'an would rather go down the mountain the same way. The other road near the top of the mountain has no handrails except for a few trees. Although it will not cause the whole person to fall, it is more exciting.

Zhou An'an really couldn't figure it out. It was rumored that several groups were interested in developing the Feilong Mountain Scenic Area, but there was no movement until more than ten years later. Maybe the high-level bosses couldn't see any profits.

"I tell you"

Everyone gathered on the top of the mountain sat on the ground, discussing the pros and cons of their respective universities. What was different from the past few years was that there were fewer selfies and photo sessions.

Nowadays, there are no high-definition camera phones. The bull-nosed magic phone Nokia still cannot access the Internet. The clarity of the photos is very gratifying, and it is still popular all over the world.

Zhou An'an, who seemed a bit difficult to integrate into those small groups, just sat quietly, and when someone greeted him, he responded casually, as if he was a transparent existence.

"Go down the mountain, and when the barbecue is over, I'll invite everyone to the KTV."

As the organizer, Hu Shangyi clapped his hands, which drew cheers from the crowd.

Compared with the unity of going up the mountain, the people going down the mountain are divided into two groups. One group wants to go back the same way and take the cable mountain road again; the other group wants to change the road and find new excitement.

Without hesitation, he chose to go back the same way. Zhou Anan finally felt relieved when he stepped on the dirt steps on the mountainside.

Life is not easy, let’s do it and cherish it.
