I, strive for the prosperity of the motherland! 【system】

The first half of the Shenpu hiking trail is relatively easy to walk on. Although the road is narrow, there are occasional puddles, and it is uphill all the way, the slope is relatively gentle, so you won't feel too tired when walking.

Su Xing pulled Tang Wu, and Xiao Miao followed closely the two ladies in front.

Not long after, the three not only broke away from the previous team, but also overtook the group of people that were originally in front of them.

It took them about an hour and they had already covered half the distance.

Tang Wu saw a pavilion in front and said to Su Xing and Xiao Miao, "Let's rest in front for a while."

Su Xing responded: "Okay."

Xiaomiao breathed a sigh of relief.

The three of them entered the pavilion, sat down to rest for a few minutes, and then began to drink water and eat.

Su Xing doesn't like Snickers bars, thinking they are too sweet, so he just ate a few pieces of dark chocolate and some beef jerky.

There are two tourists resting in this pavilion.

One of the men smiled and said to them, "Are you also staying in Xiayubeng Village? Which inn are you staying in?"

"No." Tang Wu closed the thermos cup and only answered half of the other party's question, "No, we live in Shangyubeng Village."

Both men were a little surprised when they heard this.

"Ah? Then you set out pretty early."

"It will take at least half an hour to get from Shangyubeng Village to Xiayubeng Village, right?"

Tang Wu smiled, "About the same."

Su Xing was chewing beef jerky with his cheeks puffed out, and had no time to respond.

Xiao Miao packed up her things and stood up, "Shall we go?"

He knew that most of the tourists he met were just there to chat and might not have any other purpose.

But he just felt that it would be safer to stay away from strangers.

Su Xing and Tang Wu didn't say much. They just nodded and started packing.

When the three of them came out of the pavilion, the two boys also came out with their backpacks on.

They wanted to form a companionship with Su Xing and the other three, but they couldn't keep up after walking for a while.

Finally, I watched the three people in front of me walk further and further away...

Xiao Miao panted heavily, frowned and complained, "How come these people are more friendly than people from our three northeastern provinces? They don't even know each other, but they just go and talk to them?"

Tang Wu laughed, "This is normal. When traveling, people's moods are different from usual, and they will have a greater desire to explore. Different people have different backgrounds and perspectives. Talking to strangers can help you understand diverse lifestyles and cultural concepts, and increase the fun of traveling. Some people chat with strangers to dispel the loneliness of the journey. Chatting with strangers can make people feel accompanied in an unfamiliar environment. Also, asking locals or other experienced tourists about food, attractions, cultural customs, etc. will make the trip smoother and richer."

Su Xing immediately responded, "Sister Tang is right."

Xiao Miao: "...I think we should still be wary of strangers."

Tang Wu nodded, "Of course you are right."

Su Xing continued to make fun of him, "Brother Miao is right."

They can understand others approaching them, but in fact, they don’t like strangers making small talk.

Especially since some people ask about everything, don’t answer if you can, and try not to disclose personal information to strangers.

The second half of the journey is much more difficult than the first half, with a small river on one side and deep mountains and forests on the other.

Tang Wu said: "Let's go to the forest and take a look."

"This..." Xiao Miao frowned again, "It's not safe in the mountains, right?"

Tang Wu said, "Don't worry. There won't be any large wild animals near the tourist hiking trail. At most there will be some squirrels, monkeys, and the like."

She paused and explained, "I came here to take pictures of the Yunnan golden monkeys. If I don't go into the forest, it's impossible to find their traces. Then my trip would be in vain."

Su Xing immediately said, "Brother Miao, why don't you go to the end of the sacred waterfall and wait for us. I will accompany Sister Tang into the mountain first."

"That won't work!" Xiao Miao said immediately, "Let's go into the mountains together. I can't go alone."

Su Xing said: "Then let's go."

The three of them turned into the mountains from a small path.

Not long after they walked, there was no road at all, and they had to rely entirely on their feet to clear the way.

Tang Wu took out a compass and hung it around her neck to ensure that the three of them could identify the direction.

Su Xing walked in front to lead the way, waving the Tibetan knife in his hand from time to time to chop some vines and branches.

Tang Wu was in the middle, Xiao Miao was at the rear, and the three of them began to explore this relatively primitive forest.

Tang Wu usually plays outdoor sports such as skiing and rock climbing. She also often goes around to collect materials and do sketching, and her physical fitness is also good.

She just seems weaker than Su Xing, this abnormal human being.

Xiao Miao followed the two ladies in front of him closely. He had a serious expression and alert eyes as he observed the surrounding environment.

Along the way, they saw many unknown small wild flowers and mushrooms of various colors.

Su Xing remembered the delicious taste of mushrooms and subconsciously licked her lips, but she didn't dare to pick any of the mushrooms on the ground.

They wandered around in the mountains for three or four hours, and apart from some birds and squirrels, they didn't see any other animals.

Tang Wu was not disappointed. It was only the first day and she was not in a hurry.

She checked the time and said, "Let's go to the Divine Waterfall."

Their cell phones had no network connection, so at this moment they could only rely on Tang Wu's compass and Su Xing, who had memorized the map, to walk towards the Divine Waterfall.

When they came out of the woods, they were not far from the supply station.

Third, we arrived at the supply station, filled our cups with hot water, and sat down to eat a few buckets of instant noodles.

"Huh? It's you? Are you going back? Or have you just arrived at the supply station?" a girl suddenly asked in surprise.

Su Xing, Tang Wu and Xiao Miao looked over and saw that the girl who was talking looked familiar. She was a tourist from the same group they had set out in the morning.

Looking around her, there were three or four tourists who also set out together in the morning.

Tang Wu smiled, "We meet again, what a coincidence, we just got here and will go to the sacred waterfall later."

Another boy said, "We have all come down from the sacred waterfall, and we are still wondering why we haven't met you guys yet."

Tang Wu said: "Oh, we can play while walking, so we can walk slowly."

Su Xing brought the instant noodles to another table and called Tang Wu, "Sister, eat quickly, the noodles are clumping."

Tang Wu nodded to those people, walked to Su Xing and Xiao Miao and sat down to eat noodles.

They were only two tables away from the tourists, so even if they were chatting in a low voice, they could still hear what they were talking about.

I heard the people at that table were chirping at them.

"I thought they were inexperienced. They used up their energy too quickly and didn't have enough stamina."

"Tsk, so what if they have long legs? They are just for show but not for use."

"It's already past two o'clock. At their speed, it will be dark by the time they return from the Divine Waterfall, right?"

"Why do you care about others..."

Su Xing, Tang Wu: "..."

Xiao Miao swallowed the noodles in his mouth and snorted coldly, "How nagging! Some people's mouths are like the waistband of cotton pants, loose and long."

The people at the table not far away: "..."

They are not sure, are they being scolded? ?

A boy subconsciously looked at Xiao Miao.

Xiao Miao grinned at him, "What are you looking at?"

The other party immediately lowered his head and no longer looked at Xiao Miao.
