In fact, the road conditions of Pingbiling ancient road were not very clear before I came. Looking at other people's posts on the outdoor internet, it seems that there are groups of girls and children's shoes posing in various enchanting postures along the way, but they rarely introduce the situation along the way in detail, some of which are puzzling.
When I was in Tian Li Village, I heard from the local villagers that the ancient road had been abandoned for a long time, and the thatch had grown so high that some places had to crawl in. I was scared after listening to it, but since I came, I went to the end without hesitation.
When I arrived in Jiaoling village, I asked the villagers about the road conditions of the ancient road. They said that there was some time difference some time ago, and someone was in charge these days. It's easy to walk, and I'm relieved after listening to it.
It is also very interesting to walk through the village along the stream and start looking for the entrance of the ancient road. In fact, all the way from Wangcun Town, the ancient road is intermittent, accompanied by ancient bridges and pavilions, but the modern road has partially replaced the old road.
The wall outside the gate below is called Zhaobi, which seems to be unique to Huizhou. It is said that it acts as a barrier. Feng shui can't go straight to the hall or bedroom, otherwise it will be unlucky.
Out of Jiaoling Village, look at the waterfall hanging in Qianchuan.
This is probably the beginning of the ancient road. In front of me, there is already a 60-year-old elder sister who seems to be going to their house. I've been panting and pushing. She wore a coat on her shoulders, as if she were walking around.
Looking back at jiaoling village. In the border area of Wu Xiu, I walked through three villages called Jiao Ling, which were not far apart. In addition to Jiao Ling in Wang Xiuning Village, one is Jiao Ling in Yuanzhe Township of Wuyuan, and the other is Jiao Ling at the foot of Lushan Mountain in Wuyuan. Don't be confused.
I asked the village women who were waiting for crops halfway up the mountain: which direction is the pass down the mountain? She pointed to the mountain on the left with her left hand and said, "Over there", which is different from the direction I am going now. It seems that I have to make a big turn around the ridge to get to the pass down the mountain.
I said that it is hard for you to work so far away, and she replied, "Are you still hard?" I used to grow peppers in this field, and I want to jump up the mountain. Now, my husband has gone out to work and can't take care of himself, so he began to plant something that doesn't need much care. "The village is probably a mountain road, and Li is not the only one here.
After listening to her words, I didn't say anything more. What else can I say? The so-called tiredness expressed on the road was silenced by her understatement.
Walking, I found that the sky was overcast and it was going to rain. It seems that I can't hide.
As the villagers in Jiaoling Village said, the road conditions here are still good, and the slope along the way is not big. When I was approaching the top of the mountain, I passed a mixed forest of maple and tea trees, so I thought: If I crossed the ancient road in autumn, I heard the autumn wind rustling, and I saw all the layers of forest dyed and the leaves falling, it would be another scene.
It is customary to pull up the mountain until the surrounding mountains are almost as high as mine, and the slope is almost climbed.
Climbing to the ridge, there is a relatively gentle road with a wide view and a large tea garden. This ancient road is still used all the year round, because there are many relatives on both sides of the mountain, and this road is a shortcut for them to come and go.
It began to rain lightly, and the stone pavement became wet and slippery, so we had to slow down and be more careful.
When you see the first pavilion, according to the law of Huizhou ancient road, a rest pavilion is usually set up in Wuli, so that you can estimate the approximate distance.
The interior of the exhibition hall is very simple. I don't know who planted the flag or what it means. There are several places along the way. It feels like the work of outdoor donkey friends. They like it. It seems that you can't show your professional level without doing this.
After the first tea pavilion, some sections of the road became barren, which is estimated to be a three-no-care area, and both Wuyuan and Xiuning neglected to take care of this section.
In two or three places, I feel that the soil under the slate has been hollowed out by the rain, and it seems that it will collapse at any time. Be careful when you walk on these slabs and try to get in.
Weeds almost flooded the stone road, and I always felt that there was a snake lurking below, waiting for my arrival, once in a thousand years. Actually, it's still psychological. As a general rule, such a pile of weeds is humid and sultry, and snakes will not like to stay here.
I remember when I was in Tian Li village, I asked a village woman who seemed familiar with the ancient road: Will there be snakes? She said: There will be snakes. Sometimes, I see the big green snake hanging on the branch ... Oh, it's so calm, as if I'm afraid of the world chaos.
Pants and shoes are all wet. To tell the truth, I am not worried about snakes, wild boar or robbers, but bears. I've heard about bear wounding many times in this mountainous area, and it happened in fifteen pits.
That was many years ago. The man who fought with the bear, Xiao Zhang, pointed it out to me when he was in the stone house pit. Now he is about seventy years old. You don't believe it. He used to be a soldier and a scout. He was so fierce that he just put his head on the bear's neck and finally killed the bear! Bear meat invited the whole village to eat a meal.
The arrow in the picture below refers to the Pingbiling ancient road at the junction of Xiuwu. There are dense forests in this area, and bears are not uncommon. Xiuning is not clear about this. There have been several bear attacks on Wuyuan Mountain.
I remember a few years ago, I had my hair cut in a barber shop in Lushan Township, Wuyuan. The barber happened to be cutting the hair of a villager who was attacked by a bear. I didn't care at that time, just thinking that he was an ordinary disabled person. After the haircut, the barber told me the origin of the scar on his face, which was injured by a bear before.
The picture below is a screenshot of Sohu News in September 2065438+2006. Venue: Hushan Village, Hushan Township.
When I came to a sharp turn, a second road pavilion suddenly appeared. To tell the truth, I have studied the way to deal with bears before, and the common way is to pretend to be dead.
I don't quite agree with this. You lie there pretending to be dead, waiting for the bear to come slowly to you and smell it on your face with your huge nose. Oh, my God! Then I couldn't sit up and scream, you, you, you, you, purple or not.
There is a stone tablet in the Qing Dynasty in front of the pavilion, but Daoguang can't remember it clearly during Tongzhi. He only saw the word "forbidden monument", and all the other words were vague. At this time, the rain is getting bigger and bigger, which makes him uneasy and careless.
I think, if I meet a bear, the most likely thing I can do is pretend that I'm not interested in you, but I'm not easy to mess with, even though I'm scared to death.
I won't show you my ID card either. Now the ecology is very good, and bears are not short of food. Why take such a big risk? Will also weigh the pros and cons. Bears, an animal, look silly to you, but they are actually very smart.
This road pavilion is very close to the road pavilion in front. I feel this is old, and the grass around it has grown taller.
Except for the stone lintel, the stone door frame and some walls, the rest have completely collapsed and covered with weeds. I guess it was built by the one above, not this one.
It's downhill, and the uphill journey doesn't seem to be very long. It is said that the whole ancient road is 25 miles long, and it is estimated that one third of it goes up from Jiao Ling Village.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the wind and rain on the ridge make the trees "crash". Fortunately, I brought an umbrella, otherwise I would be soaked. Look at the running water of that umbrella and you will know how heavy the rain is.
My backpack hurts my shoulders, and I really want to find a dry place to sit down and have a rest, but I can only stand still with my umbrella, because if I crouch down, the umbrella area is not enough to cover the rain. There is a small bag on the chest and a backpack on the back. Sweat and rain are intertwined, which is very uncomfortable.
Taking pictures in the rain will make the color stronger and the luster of the slate more vicissitudes.
When I came the day before, I bought five steamed buns in Xiuning County as dry food on the road. I ate two in Tian Li village last night and two more in the morning. I only ate one on the ancient road. In addition, I added a little multivitamin and amino acid capsules. That's all. Fortunately, I didn't feel very hungry, just a little tired.
The rain lasted about forty minutes, and at the right temperature and humidity, mushrooms of various colors popped up instantly. What nature has done is amazing.
On the road, I met two huge toads, about half a catty, which blocked the road. I poked it with a branch: hey! Could you please lend me a light? It immediately swelled up, as if it were not swollen, probably warning me: please don't touch it, didn't you hear toad's anger? ! Don't tell me, at that moment, I was really scared and couldn't afford to hide.
At this moment, attention was focused on the flowers and animals around us, and the wind and rain gradually stopped. What I heard was the sound of water drops dripping from trees to leaves after the rain, which set off the world around me very quietly.
Downhill is actually more difficult than uphill. My weight is about 25 pounds. Every step I take, I can feel the reaction from my knee on the ground. I feel dull pain, stumbling all the way and walking slowly.
In fact, physical pain is a kind of self-protection, which reminds you not to overwork. The road conditions here in Wuyuan seem to be better than those in Xiuning, and the slate should be more regular.
Walking through the Woods, I suddenly saw a white house in the distance. The camera is wet and the photo can't focus. I am excited: ancient road, ancient road, you are my dream hometown road, I am here and Wuyuan is there.
The first village on the other side of Wuyuan is called Tang Cheng, which belongs to Tuochuan Township. It's already one o'clock at noon. How much time has passed? I didn't count. I forgot to look at my watch when I came. It was estimated to be four hours.
This is the fourth pavilion. I fell down twice in a row while taking pictures of this pavilion. Fortunately, they all sit on their butts, fulfilling the old saying, take pictures without walking, and walk without taking pictures.
There is a man resting in it. He is the only pedestrian on this ancient road trip. He said that he came here to "hang wood", that is, to pull a steel wire from the mountain to the foot of the mountain, and the wood slipped down through the steel wire. His family lives in Jiangwan, Wuyuan, and now he lives in Tang Cheng Village. The photo is blurred and the camera is flooded.
There is a stone bridge in front of the pavilion, which consists of a whole stone and weighs about three tons. I don't know how it was put before, and I can't compile "According to Historical Records".
An empty mountain after the rain, a crystal stone in the stream.
I have seen photos of these two huge stones in outdoor posts, and there are traces of artificial carving above the small point on the left. I really want to know what it is, but no one has explained it.
This time, if you come here to have a closer look, you must enlarge one for everyone to see. This is a statue of Buddha carved on a stone. Bless passers-by, Amitabha!
The rain has completely stopped, the earth is wet, and the trees on the mountain are getting greener. At this moment, seeing the village is particularly cordial, there is a feeling of tears.
Look at the clear water flowing in the small ditch in the village.
Look back at the mountain I climbed.
