Riding the original road (Xi)-I started from a rugged road and arrived in Yanqing overnight.

As mentioned in the last article, we came to Chicheng County early and decided to go straight to Beijing. ...

However, just after riding out of the county seat, our fighting spirit was splashed with cold water-without waiting for us to sprint, we ushered in an unexpected steep slope after a continuous gentle slope.

At this point, to make matters worse, Gong Fan's feet have almost reached the point where they are struggling. When pushing a cart, even if you use your arms to support the handlebar, your feet will inevitably limp. Therefore, workers would rather ride a steep slope with a little more leg strength than push it with their feet.

In this way, Gong Fan and I went to the top of the slope first, and Gong Fan bought some apples at the roadside stall.

By the way, I asked the road in front of the stall owner, and my aunt seemed familiar with it: "The road ahead is downhill, all the way to Diao 'e Town. Take Haituo Mountain instead of Baili Gallery. Where are you going today? "

"We are going to go back to Beijing directly!" I should say.

"If you can't go to Beijing, you can go to Yanqing." Aunt is full of confidence, but it makes us look sad.

Sure enough, the next trip to Diao 'e Town was very pleasant.

On the way, my cell phone rang, and Brother Yang said he would go to Chicheng.

We were all stunned by Yang Ge's speed. Liu Liu jokingly said, "Let's work harder and catch up after riding more than others for an afternoon. How is this possible? "

So, I reported our position and plan, and told him to go after it if he could: "But we have to continue on our way, and we can't wait for you."

"Nothing, nothing, you go your way, I see the situation." Young responded very readily. Next, at every intersection, I told Yang Ge about our route and road conditions by SMS, and Yang Ge's answer was always the same.

After Diao 'e Town, we turned around and rode west. I don't know whether the wind has turned into a crosswind or a headwind, and I don't know whether the gentle downhill has turned into a flat road or a gentle uphill. In short, we only feel that every step is extremely difficult, and the speed of 30 kilometers eventually drops to 15 kilometers.

Liu Liu is still the first country to take the lead. Seeing that the road behind me was very stable, I suggested to the workers, "I'll fart and you follow." Also called exclamation point to the end of the line.

We were in free formation all the time, and this was the first time that we were forced to take the broken wind formation. However, in the face of a strong crosswind, this formation does not seem to play much role.

We hardly had any conversation along the way, but we knew that we were working hard and going back to Beijing was the state of going all out. Every now and then, someone falls behind. They will be a little slower, but they will never stop or even have a rest. "Hold on" has become our default choice.

Turn left from Haituo gas station and enter a county highway in the middle of a valley. The wind becomes smaller, the vehicles are scarce, and the slope becomes larger. Every time I take two more pictures for the sake of scenery, and then try my best to catch up with my teammates, I find it difficult to speed up, even if it seems to be a smooth road.

After a whole afternoon of uninterrupted riding, with the decline of physical strength, we all further feel that the difficulty of riding has reached a higher level. I'm still in charge of closing the team, but everyone is slowly pulling away. The last ride in the team is an exclamation point.

I don't know how long it lasted in this valley path, but the worse situation appeared: the second half of this road was covered with road construction, dusty and rugged, and stones of all sizes were scattered on the road surface, which was completely a "washboard road".

To make matters worse, the sun slanted across the valley, reflecting a beautiful halo-it was getting late.

"how about it? Not bad, right? " I saw the exclamation point getting slower and slower, so I asked him.

"I don't think I can go to Yanqing today! For the time being ... I really can't ... I'm going to find a farmhouse near here, "gasped the exclamation point. "If there is no farmhouse, I will live in a tent ... I can't ride it anyway."

Seeing that everyone is working hard and hearing the exclamation point, I began to feel guilty about my proposal of "rushing back to Beijing". It suddenly occurred to me that Gong Fan's feet were hurting more and more, and he might regret not taking a bus back to Beijing in Chicheng.

At this time, Yang Ge called again: "I have arrived in Diao 'e Town. It's not dark yet. I will keep going! " Young still seems to be full of fighting spirit. I heard that Yang Ge was coming to meet us, and I suddenly felt very happy, probably a kind of excitement similar to the encounter between the two armies.

After hanging up the phone, I had an idea and said to the exclamation point, "Brother Yang has been chasing us. If it really doesn't work, I'll accompany you to find a place to stay in front and wait for Brother Yang to catch up. You ride first, and I ask them what they mean. "

Since then, I have worked harder to catch up with Liu Liu, Gong Fan and Asun. When I said I couldn't ride any more, I suggested that everyone find a place to rest.

Gong Fan first thought of going to work tomorrow, but reluctantly said, "Didn't we agree to go to Yanqing today?" I can't get to Beijing tomorrow morning. What should I do? "In addition to worry, words do have a trace of regret.

"If I were alone, let alone Yanqing, I would go straight home." Although I regret dragging my feet, I am still excited to blurt out such a good face vanity.

At this point, everyone stopped to have a rest, and the exclamation point slowly caught up. Everyone is tired and sad. Until now, there is not much willpower left. Think about the next road and difficulties, and the silent atmosphere further sets off everyone's sad mood.

I asked He Song again and said, "Since you three still want to go to Yanqing, let's split up. The exclamation point and I found a place to live in front, and then we will go when Brother Yang catches up and gathers. After all, you three will go to Yanqing if you have something to do. "

After listening to my words, everyone was silent for a while.

Liu Liu expressed his concern: "Yanqing still has a long way to go back to Beijing. If you can't get to Yanqing today, it is also a problem whether you can get home tomorrow. " Liu Liu probably thought that both the exclamation point and Yang Ge lived in Tongzhou, and added, "Especially the exclamation point, where you live is far away."

I noticed the exclamation point. Hearing this, I looked up at the road ahead, as if thinking about something.

After talking, Liu Liu handed me some of his favorite eggs: "There is no place to eat nearby. You can make do with these at night. " Asun also took out his mustard tuber, and Gong Fan took out his apple and handed it to me.

Seeing that I couldn't refuse, I had to stuff it all into my backpack. This scene is like a parting ceremony. While being warmed by the team, there is also sadness of parting.

"It's okay, you hurriedly go! It's getting dark, there's a big slope ahead! " I urged.

"Then ... pay attention to your own safety."

Everyone set off again, and I paid attention to the suitable campsite on the side of the road while riding. Disappointingly, we can't even find a decent campsite in this middle of nowhere, let alone a farmhouse.

Instead, to my surprise, the exclamation point followed the team all the way, so I asked him again. He replied, "I can't live here ... if I can't get to Yanqing today, I don't think I can go home tomorrow."

"Are you sure you want to go to Yanqing?" I asked.

"Well, keep up with them and ride hard!"

"That Yang Ge? Is he still chasing us? " Hearing the exclamation point and courage, I was embarrassed.

Gong Fan heard our conversation: "Brother Yang is so old that he can take care of himself. Why should we worry? "

I think Gong Fan misunderstood me, so he responded excitedly: "I'm not worried about him, but I think Yang Ge came all the way, but we didn't wait for him ..." Although I'm going to Beijing soon, I'm actually looking forward to your re-signing, and I really can't bear to see someone on the team fall behind.

With such hesitant thoughts, I went to Yanjiaping Village with everyone. After a previous uphill road, it should be the boundary of Yanqing County. In a small shop, everyone added some food separately.

"There is only one kilometer of continuous uphill. Let's push the car and talk while walking. " Say that finish, they hit the road first, and I am the only one who is still wandering in the same place.

After inquiring about the road with an old man who herded sheep, I sent a message to Brother Yang about the road conditions, accommodation and my location. After much hesitation, I told him that I decided to stay in the big army and go first.

Young got a reply soon: "Well, nothing! Don't worry about me, I won't ride when it's near. " After listening to what Yang Ge said, I felt a sense of relief, so I sped up and drove everyone away.

It turned out that just after walking this kilometer of continuous uphill, I went all the way down the mountain.

This section of the road is the most dangerous continuous downhill of our trip, and it is also the last surprise of our trip-a narrow two-lane highway built near the depths, with various warning signs such as "sharp turn", "continuous turn" and "continuous downhill".

There are few steep slopes and steep straight roads, so we stopped all the way and looked at the colorful speed bumps on the road, which seemed to warn us of the danger of this road.

When I put the slope, I slowly caught up with everyone. Everyone looks very happy, and their faces are filled with the ease of feeling the slope. We simply took a few more photos, and the sky became darker and stricter, and the night view of Yanqing County became clearer and clearer.

I remembered Yang Ge behind me, so I sent the last message telling Yang Ge to go to Yanjiaping Village at most tonight, followed by continuous downhill, and it was too dangerous to walk at night. Brother Yang replied: "He also intends to stay, and the muck road is too difficult to walk."

The stone hanging in my heart finally fell to the ground.

After going down the mountain, everyone divided into two ways. After more than an hour of surprise night riding, exclamation mark and I successfully joined three other people in Yanqing County.

Seeing the night view of the bustling city, everyone sighed, and there was probably a feeling of "finally coming back".

And I still feel a little lost.
