2021-4-20 Thoughts on Baili Yixing

If you meet the right partner, you can complete the journey.

Teacher H said that he gave up midway through the last Baili Yi Xing and had regrets.

One day when we were in the first semester of graduate school, when we were eating in the cafeteria, Teacher H mentioned Baili Yihang to us. The description was vivid and interesting, and Chunmei and I liked it so much. People who take this kind of challenge immediately say they want to go. Unexpectedly, Teacher H said that if you are interested, we can go together next time. At this time, classmate Z said, if you go, I will go too.

And just like that, we simply came to an agreement.

I never thought it was a joke, and neither did Chunmei.

Later, when I mentioned this matter to my roommate, Ms. Si Ye, I realized that it is not that easy to find like-minded partners. When she heard that I was going to participate, she said she would not participate in such an event. She is also from Hunan and knows the general situation of this activity. Although she has never participated in this, she has participated in a 20-kilometer hike and knows how tiring it is. She showed me the photos from that time and said she was too tired to talk. Her face was red and her whole body was dull. Everyone who had tens of thousands of steps on WeChat that day went hiking.

In retrospect, it seems extremely precious that we have reached preliminary knowledge so quickly. With so many adventures in life, how many times do you meet a partner that you hit it off with?

It’s true that your traveling partner can determine how far you go.

Teacher H said that he did not expect us to persevere in the end. Because on the last day Chunmei and I moved so slowly that sometimes we only walked 1km in 30 minutes. We had to bear the fatigue of the first day, backache, leg pain, and blistered feet. Every step was difficult. Moreover, the weather was bad, it was raining, and the road was muddy. It was not sunny like the first day and the road was suitable for resting and pressing our feet. When we reached the next ten kilometers or so, in order to lead us along, he walked in front first, then stopped and waited for us, and then walked forward like this. Unexpectedly, on the 6.8-kilometer journey, which we thought would take 2-3 hours, we were overtaken by Chunmei in running. In the end we all rushed to the finish line.

I don’t know what kind of mutual support there is between our partners. I think it’s hard to say that we can’t reach the finish line without one of us. I can only talk about the difference between arriving early or arriving late. Although Teacher H has been saying from the first day that he might be able to grow up X on the first day, I think it is just bragging. Everyone is determined to arrive. I am willing to say that without classmate Z, I would not have reached the finish line so quickly, but I will not say that without him, I would not have reached the finish line. This is my stubbornness.

A man who travels a hundred miles will make half a mile, this sentence is also something I understand deeply.

Why half ninety? I used to think it was stupid to give up after 10 kilometers after walking for so long. There is a reason to really experience it this time. Because at the end of the day, I was exhausted both physically and mentally, and all my thoughts were lost (a bit exaggerated). In the last 80 kilometers, I was probably very tired, and my feet didn’t even feel like my own. What’s more, at 90 kilometers, I discovered that there were still 10 kilometers left. It was really I'm going to cry.

I ran during the last period. At that time, my body had actually reached a painful extreme. Every step I took was very difficult. I also felt that blisters were about to form on the soles of my feet, and I was walking very slowly. , he started running, trying his best to suppress the pain and push himself forward. When classmate Z saw the 3KM sign with me, I was very happy. I thought the next sign was 2KM. But when I looked closer, I saw it was a slogan. I thought the next sign was 1KM, but found that it was actually 2KM. I kept running forward. After running for a long time, I thought I had arrived, but when I saw a 1KM sign in front of me, I was really dumbfounded. But in the end I managed to run through the crowd and surpassed many people who had surpassed me before. Classmate Z said, look, they are all waiting for us to surpass.

The image shows people taking off their shoes and wearing socks and walking forward on the rain-wet floor. Some people are limping and their walking postures are deformed. Some people are keeping their heads down and moving slowly. But no one would laugh at these people. Passers-by would look at them with admiration or curiosity, wondering where these people came from, where they were going, and how long they had been gone.

Let’s talk about the memorable things or interesting plots during the trip——

1. Teacher H, “This is one of the few scenic spots in our Baili Hiking itinerary. "One"

Teacher H is very eloquent. He not only introduced Baili Yi Xing vividly and vividly, but also explained in detail when he was a tour guide on the road. Every time we go to a place with scenic spots, we have to say, "Cherish the opportunity, you can take pictures, this is one of the few scenic spots in our itinerary."

So we took out Take photos with your mobile phone to record the few scenic spots.

But when we slowly passed by the White Dragon Temple, Huayi Brothers Movie Town, Jiuhua Lake Park and other scenic spots, Teacher H’s words began to become a classic quotation. There are so many scenic spots along the way. Even when we arrived at Jiangzhong Island, which we thought was beautiful but relatively primitive and undeveloped, we asked Teacher H to introduce this one of the few scenic spots.

2. n kinds of walking methods invented by Chunmei to relieve pain and speed up the pace

On the afternoon of the first day, we started to feel tired and showed signs of being unable to walk. Chunmei and I actively explore new ways of walking, including the forward and backward walking method, the drunken man's eight-figure walking method, the rough man's eight-span walking method, the exaggerated walking method with raised legs, the kicking and swinging method, and sideways jumping. Walking method and so on. Everyone doesn't care how weird this way of walking is, they just think it's funny and try to do more weird tricks to walk. Later, I concluded that as long as the walking posture is not the same one you maintain for a long time, it can relieve fatigue and give you new motivation. Remember that masseurs will also say during massage that maintaining one posture for a long time, whether it is correct or not, will cause muscle strain. Therefore, after maintaining one posture for a long time, you should change postures to relieve fatigue. The same is true.

3. Chunmei’s interesting changes throughout the journey

From the moment we got in the car, Chunmei was very active, talking to us about things, just like a child going on a spring outing, until I said goodbye After talking, go to sleep and calm down. When we got to the starting point, she was still chattering and talking non-stop. After an hour, he became silent and was constantly teased by us. After just a while, he was already exhausted? It got better after that, and sometimes I could still walk faster than I could. In the afternoon of the first day, I started to invent different walking postures. In the evening, I started to walk autistically. Because my walking posture resembled Grandma Liu from Dream of Red Mansions, we dubbed her "Grandma Ye". Under the ridicule of Classmate Z, she would sometimes be successfully motivated to fight, and occasionally she would suddenly run forward after Classmate Z, and sometimes she would hook Teacher H or Classmate Z's schoolbag with a cane and pull her forward.

The next day, because I massaged her calf the night before, she felt much better and walked more easily. She was in a better condition than me. She also taught me how to walk and let me use a towel. , wrap your feet with paper, it really works. Because we took the wrong road, she started timing and told Teacher H that we could actually cover more distance in one hour than Teacher H said. She also said that we had already gone a long way and there was not much left. We would definitely be able to do it. Accomplish goals. I chatted with me for the middle part of the way and walked over without much pain. After meeting H and Z, they started chatting happily again, using the opening ceremony of a sports meeting to introduce each player, "The wind is beautiful today, the flags are fluttering, and the person walking in front is our first player." A square formation..." Later, I really started to walk in an autistic way, with my hat almost covering my eyes. I lowered my head and walked forward dejectedly. It seemed that I didn't care about looking at the road ahead. I just walked like a zombie. The speed Like a snail. At the end, her luggage and backpack gradually moved to classmate Z and started to fly. As classmate Z said, she was just sealed by the schoolbag. I couldn't catch up with her for a long time when running. You know, when I walk, I am much faster than her. She is also one of the motivations for me to keep running. The other two motivations are that Teacher H said that every step he takes There was a strong tingling feeling that gave me empathy and classmate Z was always by my side to encourage me. In the end, Chunmei ran fast and finished the 6.8KM in less than an hour. Even though Teacher H couldn't hold her back, she was the first to rush to the finish line, which made Teacher H hope that we would hold hands together. The desire to run to the finish line is shattered.

4. Teacher H’s “I discovered that running is faster than walking”

This is Teacher H’s amazing discovery during this Hundred Miles Walk, and he is expected to win the Nobel Peace Prize. It has received laughter-filled approval from several of our traveling companions.

5. When I was fighting the landlord, the last card I kept as a landlord was the diamond 3

This was laughed at by classmate Z for a long time, and he also claimed to show me how to play the card. , I felt extremely insulted. However, after he claimed that the deck of peasant cards, which no matter who got it, would definitely win, came into the hands of Teacher H, I killed them all without leaving a single piece of armor, and I was invincible to relieve my hatred. Then I announced that the card game was over, leaving the final The winner - me.

6. Teacher H’s small massage class has started

During the evening massage, Teacher H said that he knew a set of massage techniques and had received training from the National University of Science and Technology. We encouraged him to give Let's teach it. He said he wanted to demonstrate it to classmate Z, "I'll make sure he (classmate Z) croaks when pressed. I'll tell you." There was no cry, which made us suspicious, but the person I pressed, Chunmei, croaked. We asked Z, "Isn't it painful?" Just like when we asked him if his foot hurt in the afternoon, he yelled "Ah! It hurts", so perfunctorily that we thought he was pretending to be in pain. He said he could bear it, and I think he deserves the title of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".

7. WeChat step count ranking quarrel PK session

I don’t know what they have to fight about, so I just don’t fight with the world. Each one of them is always fighting over who is first or second, or who has the longest legs.

Somehow Chunmei is always 3,000 steps ahead of us. We say she has short legs. Student Z has always been at the back of the queue, saying he has long legs. The two people also walked 10 steps to compare the 10-step gap between the two people. The result was that classmate Z was one foot farther away than Chunmei. Therefore, there is a certain scientific basis for spring girls to take more steps.

Because I didn’t click on my phone to update my step count, they kept saying that I was the last among the four in the step count rankings, but in fact, classmate Z was.

What’s funny is that while H and Z were waiting for us, they watched our WeChat step count increase to observe how we walked, and found that Chunmei’s step count increased faster than mine. . Having said that, I suddenly understood why girls are more tired when walking, because they take more steps and are backlogged more times.

What’s even more annoying is that when they were waiting for us, they waited so long that they opened the WeChat game Backgammon and started a duel. . . He didn't even notice that we were approaching.

8. In terms of endurance, boys are stronger than girls

Girls will say that their feet hurt, stop and rest, and seek help; boys rarely say anything and seldom rest. , I don’t ask for help, I reduce a lot of trivial matters, and I can still move forward quickly.

9. Music is an important companion and topic during hiking

The rhythm of music can bring people a sense of movement, support moving forward, and reduce the burden on the mood. Teacher H and classmate Z respectively discussed some music understanding, song sharing and singing techniques. Each person’s voice has its own characteristics. Teacher H is affectionate and bright, classmate Z sings softly, and Chunmei’s Rich and full. I wanted to find a song to sing together, but I couldn't find it for a while, because everyone's vocal ranges are not the same, and there is not enough overlap. It is suitable for singing different parts to form a harmony. It may be wonderful. If there are creators who can help us change it, It would be best to record the song on a CD.

10. The kind-hearted people who took Trailwalker to the toilet

The last place we rested and the most comfortable place along the way was a house. The house was very big and the front and back yards were quite nice. Comfortable. The son of the family is a big brother. As a normal person, he would say that the toilet is over the kitchen, but he specifically told me that there is a better toilet in the room. I was a little touched and left some snacks for them later. Teacher H left first in the middle, and classmate Z said that the ground at the back looked like his grandma's, and he took a rare look around and stretched it. There was a grapefruit tree in that yard, and the fragrance of grapefruit flowers fell all over the ground.

Of course, there are some imperfections during the journey, such as heavy loads, lack of sleep, rain, clothes soaked by rain when sleeping in tents, being woken up, and waiting for a long time for the bus on the return trip, etc. etc., there are also some surprises, such as many topics, a lot of laughter, I thought I missed the hourly room but found out that I didn't, I learned the massage method, and classmate Z accompanied me on the final journey, etc.

[Extra]

1. Classmate Z said that if I keep walking like an uncle for half an hour, he will unconditionally agree to do something for me.

I joked that you should jump where you answered. The result is that I did it but he didn't.

2. In fact, Teacher H and I spent a lot more time walking together than classmate Z, but on the first night at the beautiful leisure embankment beside the Xiangjiang River, we actually had a short period of time alone. Teacher H and Chunmei also deliberately created opportunities for me and me to talk about romantic feelings, saying that love grows over time, and companionship is the longest confession of love. They were an embarrassing group.

3. Chunmei said that if you walk last, Z will pay attention to you. When she walks behind, Z will often accompany you. But what I least expected was that Z did not walk with the lagging Chunmei in the last section of the journey, but walked with me. In the last 6.8 kilometers, he was by my side to encourage me. Maybe it was because I became the last one. Yeah, it's quite touching. In fact, the way he ran beside me, I wondered if others would think we were a couple. I don’t want to think too much, but I’m still afraid of being sad.

After the Hundred Miles Journey, I feel that everyone has not changed much, and the sense of distance will still exist.

I just talked about this event in the circle of friends, "Thanks to my team for being with me all the way, no regrets." Dad said why not write more thoughts, maybe because less is more , this can create a profound feeling. In fact, I want to write too much, I am full of novels, I can’t start, and I am tired, so that’s it.

What I am often afraid of is that in the long road of life in the future, I will not make progress. Everyone has their own wonderful life, and they are getting further and further away from me.

The picture is not worthy

Later words

Because I feel that if I don’t write today, Many things will be forgotten. Memories are very precious because they will be lost. Although there are regrets in life, perhaps there should be no regrets in what we can do. This article is different from what I imagined. It is better written than I imagined, and there are some things that I haven’t written, but it is not perfect, so that’s it.

The characters in the article are all pseudonyms, and the plot is purely based on actual events.
