2. Original text:

On the way to Mont Blanc, we first took the train to Martini, and then set off on foot at 8 o'clock the next morning. There are many people walking on the road together, riding carriages and mules-thus raising clouds of dust. The procession continued for about a mile. This road is uphill-all the way uphill-and quite steep.

It's hard to stop the scorching weather, and the men and women riding on the slowly crawling mules and the staggeringly walking carriages are scorched by the scorching sun, which is really pitiful. We can spend the summer in the Woods and have a rest, but those people can't. Since they spent money on the bus, we must make their travel price worthwhile.

We arrived in the highlands with blackheads, and there were many beautiful scenery along the way. There is a place that needs to go through tunnels and mountains; Overlooking the canyon at the foot, I saw a clear stream running. Looking around, the rock wall is steep and the mountains are green and beautiful. The waterfall poured down and roared on the black road.

About half an hour before arriving at Alanti Village, a huge snow mound suddenly came into view, shining in the sun. The dome is V-shaped and has a wide view. This is a mountain gate. It turns out that we witnessed Mont Blanc, which is called "Alpine king of the hill". We climbed the stairs, and the magnificent dome rose higher and higher, and went straight into the blue sky, and finally seemed to be alone in the sky.

Some peaks around Mont Blanc are grotesque-all light brown exposed sharp rocks. Some are sharp and slightly tilted to one side, just like the fingers of a beautiful woman; There is a strange mountain peak, shaped like candy and like a hat on the bishop's head; Because the rock is too steep, the snow can't pile up, and only a few places can be seen occasionally at the dividing line.

Before staying in the highlands and heading for Alanti village at the foot of the mountain, we once looked back at a nearby mountain peak, but we saw colorful clouds, colorful clouds, singing and dancing, and white clouds were delicate and soft, like a gossamer spider web. Pink and light green in colorful colors are particularly charming, and all colors are elegant and soft, which complement each other and are charming.

Let's just sit here and enjoy the unique scenery. This colorful illusion only stays for a short time, and then it is erratic, blending with each other, drifting away, but suddenly returning to the light, changing rapidly, which is endless and endless; White and thin clouds, sparkling, like pure angels in clothes.

For a long time, we finally realized that the gorgeous colors in front of us and their endless changes are everything we can see from the floating soap bubbles. Everywhere the bubbles go, all kinds of colors change and are absorbed. The most beautiful and exquisite creation in nature is soap bubbles: just now, the gorgeous colors in the air and the brocade in the sky are like soap bubbles bursting and spreading in the sun.

I think, if there was only one soap bubble in the world, what would its value be?

It took eight hours to get from Martini to Alanti. Several times, we all left our bikes behind. On the way to Sha Meng, along the valley, we hired an open carriage and spent another hour eating a delicious meal, so that the driver also had a chance to indulge in wine and get a little drunk. He has a friend with him, so this friend also has time for a drink.

On the way, the driver said that when we were eating, all the tourists arrived, even in front of us; "But," he said confidently, "don't worry-calm down-don't be impetuous-although they have gone, they will soon disappear behind us. Just sit down and relax. I'll take care of everything-I'm the king of coachmen. You watch! "

He waved the whip and the car staggered forward. It's so bumpy, I've never seen it in my life. The recent rainstorms have washed away several roads, but we keep going, keep the usual speed and gallop forward, regardless of any rocky wasteland and gully wilderness-sometimes one or two wheels hit the ground, but most of them are in the air.

The calm and kind crazy driver turned his head from time to time and said to us majestically, "Ha, see?" As I said, I am a veritable king of coachmen. "

Whenever we are in danger, he always says with a straight face and a pleasant face, "Gentlemen, consider it fun. This situation is not common, but it is unusual-very few people can get in the car of the king of cars-look, like I said, I am the king of cars. "

He speaks French and burps from time to time, as if he were punctuation. His friend is also French, but he speaks German-but the punctuation system is the same. This friend called himself "Captain Blanc" and asked us to climb the mountain with him.

He said that he climbed the mountain more times than anyone else-47 times-while his brother only climbed 37 times. Besides him, his brother is the best guide in the world-but he himself, by the way, please don't forget-he is "Captain Blanc"-and this title belongs to him.

Car king really kept his promise-a gust of wind caught up with and surpassed the long tourist convoy. Therefore, after arriving at Sha Meng Hotel, we stayed in a superior room. It's impossible if the prince's driving skills are a little less agile-or, it's not God's intention, he was drunk when he left Alanti.
