During the Spring Festival of 2009, I was left alone in the dormitory for various reasons, and there was no one to talk to. I struggled for days in that loneliness, and finally decided to go hiking alone in search of peace and freedom.
It was a sunny day, cloudless, and my mood became cheerful. I set out on the road to the top of the hill alone, and when I reached the first lookout, it was only two o'clock in the afternoon. I hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to continue climbing and explore the untouched natural mountains.
The road was inaccessible, and I only met a few people in half a day, and they were in groups of three or five, which was a stark contrast to me alone. I walked and enjoyed the view of the mountains and felt the breath of spring. The trees that have just experienced winter look tall in the warm sun, and the occasional bud on the road gives a sense of the arrival of spring.
Just as I was immersed in the boundless spring color, a voice broke my contemplation: "Hello, can you take a picture for me?" I looked back and saw a young ** looking at me with a smile. I was stunned for a few seconds before I came back to my senses and asked her with a smile, "Are you calling me?" She nodded and handed me her camera.
I took the camera and took a picture of her. However, after she saw it, she frowned and said, "Let's start again, this one is not well lit." "I realized that I accidentally blocked the lens while taking a photo, resulting in poor lighting. So, we took another one.
After the shooting, we went our separate ways. She also climbed to the top of the mountain, and was alone like me. I chose a path that is less traveled, and I think this is the real mountain climbing, and it is more exciting. Soon, I met her again at a turn ahead. This time, she took the initiative to come over and talk to me.
She told me that she worked at a clothing store on Walking Street, and that the store hadn't opened yet, so she came out early. She couldn't stand the urging of her family to get married, so she chose to climb the mountain to relax. She heard that there was a mysterious cave in the mountain, and she decided to look for it.
I told her that I had actually heard of the cave and wanted to visit it today. So, the two of us set out together on a journey to find the cave. In the evening, we finally climbed to the top of the mountain. Although there was no cave here that we were expecting, there was a Guanyin temple that brought us a touch of tranquility.
It was getting dark, and the road was not easy to walk. I asked her if she would go back and look for the cave another day, but she insisted on continuing the search. Seeing that she was so determined, I had no choice but to sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman. We walked towards the back of the mountain, which was very difficult to walk along the unexplored mountain path.
I tried to help her, but she refused, saying she was fine. I could only walk ahead of her and carefully explore my way for her. After walking for about ten minutes, the road became more and more difficult to walk, and the trees on both sides became more and more dense. I started to worry about her safety and asked her if she was scared. She shook her head with a smile and said, "Look at you don't look like a bad person." ”
Hearing this, I smiled helplessly. Indeed, I wear glasses, I am thin, and I really don't look like a bad person. We continued to go down, and the road became more and more difficult. I tried to help her again, and this time she didn't refuse. We walked down hand in hand, not because I wanted to take advantage of her, but because the road was really too difficult to walk!
In this way, we held hands and slowly moved down the mountain. It was already completely dark, but luckily the moon was bright and illuminated our path. Suddenly, we came across a very steep section with only a chain to hold onto. I told her to grab the chain first, and then I went down to pick her up. We climbed down step by step, and although it was difficult, the trust and support between each other made us feel warm.
Finally after the steep section, we sat down on the rocks next to us to rest. The mountains and forests in the night are particularly peaceful and beautiful, and we look at each other and smile, enjoying this rare tranquility and freedom. Although we didn't find the legendary cave, this hike gave us something more precious than that: trust, friendship and unforgettable memories.
