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

After dinner, the four of them strolled around the neighborhood.

Tang Wu and Su Xing bought some oxygen cylinders, trekking poles and other items, and also bought some first aid medicines and foods that could quickly replenish energy, such as beef jerky, Snickers, Jacques v9, etc.

Su Xing saw a store selling Tibetan knives and pulled Tang Wu, "Sister Tang, let's go in and take a look."

Tang Wu naturally would not refuse, "Let's go."

The two sisters turned into the store, and Xiao Miao and Li Haikuo quickly followed.

After Su Xing entered the store, he looked at a lot of knives and even held them in his hands to try out whether they were comfortable to use.

Seeing that she was interested, Tang Wu started to choose as well.

In the end, the two sisters each picked a knife that they thought felt good, and Tang Wu also picked one for Xiao Miao.

Xiao Miao weighed the knife in his hand and said hesitantly, "You can't take this thing on the plane."

Tang Wu said: "It's okay, you can mail it."

The shop owner said with a smile: "We can mail it for you in our shop. Do you want to mail it now?"

Su Xing immediately said, "Let's not mail it now. There are many snakes, insects, rats and ants on the mountain, as well as branches and vines. This knife is just the right tool to carry with you."

After hearing what Su Xing said, everyone felt that it made sense.

"Then let's take it first." Tang Wu said.

After paying, Su Xing asked the boss to help sharpen the knives.

Su Xing felt a little more at ease when he held the bright knife in his hand.

No one got enough rest these days, so after returning to the hotel, everyone went to bed early.

early morning.

Su Xing climbed out of the bed, ran to the window, opened the curtains a little, and looked out with anticipation.

But she was disappointed. It was foggy outside and she couldn't even see the snow-capped mountains on the opposite side, let alone the spectacle of the golden mountain in the sun.

"How was it? What did you see?"

Tang Wu's voice came from behind.

When Su Xing turned around, he saw Tang Wu had just sat up from the bed, leaning lazily against the headboard.

"It's foggy outside and I can't see anything clearly," she said.

Tang Wu said, "It seems that there will be no Sunshine Golden Mountain to see today. Since it is foggy, let's wait for the fog to dissipate and then go into Yubeng later."

"Good~"

The two of them washed, changed clothes, and packed their things leisurely.

Xiao Miao and Li Haikuo didn't bring much stuff with them and had packed it up long ago.

After the four of them got together, they had a buffet breakfast in the hotel restaurant.

While they were eating, they heard many tourists regretting not being able to see the Golden Mountain in the Rising Sun.

Some tourists were chatting with each other and preparing to carpool to Xidang Village.

To go to Yubeng Village from Feilai Temple, you must first go to Xidang Village, and then walk in from Xidang Village or take a local off-road vehicle.

Li Haikuo said, "Ms. Tang, Ms. Su, Xiao Miao, I can only take you to Xidang Village. The road from Xidang to Yubeng is closed to all vehicles except local off-road vehicles."

Tang Wu said, "We understand. Thank you for your hard work these past few days."

"It's not hard, it's my duty." Li Haikuo paused, and then said, "If you need a car when you come back, you can contact me in advance."

Tang Wu nodded, "Okay, let's keep in touch."

Li Haikuo laughed.

Although he would return to Lijiang after completing this order, if Miss Tang and the others came back and called him, he would still be willing to come from Lijiang to pick them up.

After breakfast, the four of them rested for a while. When the fog had almost dissipated, they checked out and set off for Xidang Village.

The road from Feilai Temple to Xidang Village is a winding mountain road. It is very narrow and has cliffs on one side and steep cliffs on the other. However, the road conditions are worse than when coming from Lugu Lake. Occasionally, rocks roll down from the cliffs, which is very dangerous.

Xiao Miao was so dizzy that he blurted out, "Damn, this is not a road that humans should drive!"

Li Haikuo: “…”

Su Xing and Tang Wu tried hard to hold back their laughter.

Xiao Miao realized that what he said sounded like an insult, so he quickly said, "I'm sorry, Brother Li. What I meant is that most people can't drive on a road like this. Brother Li, you are such a good driver."

Li Haikuo said: "Most of you northerners can't drive on this road, but this section of the road is not the most difficult to drive. You will know when you enter Yubeng from Xidang. Compared with that section of the road, this section of the road is already pretty good."

His words made Xiao Miao feel very nervous.

It is only more than 30 kilometers from Feilai Temple to Xidang Village, but it took Li Haikuo more than an hour to get there.

Tang Wu settled the expenses with Li Haikuo and gave him an extra 2,000 yuan as a reward for his hard work.

Li Haikuo declined it briefly but then accepted it, and was so happy that his teeth were not showing.

"Ladies, Xiao Miao, have a good time. If you need a car, be sure to call me."

"Okay, bye."

"Goodbye, Brother Li~"

"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Li. Bye."

Su Xing, Tang Wu and three others said goodbye to Li Haikuo.

Li Haikuo waved to them, got in the car, and drove away from Xidang Village.

Su Xing looked around and found some well-equipped tourists walking along a path with trekking poles.

Some tourists were waiting in line for off-road vehicles.

There are only two ways to get to Yubeng Village from here. One is to walk in, and the other is to take an off-road vehicle.

Tang Wu asked Xiao Miao to look after the luggage, and then took Su Xing to buy train tickets.

The off-road vehicle charges are per person, 200 yuan per person to Shang Yubeng, 260 yuan per person to Xia Yubeng. One vehicle can seat six tourists excluding the driver, and the journey takes about an hour.

The inn Tang Wu booked is in Shangyubeng Village.

The three of them had a lot of luggage, and if a car was full of tourists, there might not be enough space for the luggage, so Tang Wu simply chartered a car.

After the three got in the car and the driver started the car and drove towards Yubeng Village, they realized how bad the road conditions were that Li Haikuo had described.

If the car didn't have a roof, they would have been thrown out in less than two minutes.

Su Xing raised one hand, grabbed the safety handle, and with the other hand quickly embraced Tang Wu into his arms.

Tang Wu’s head was about to hit the car window, but she immediately protected it.

Tang Wu was stunned for a moment.

Su Xing said: "Sister Tang, hold my waist and I will protect you."

"Oh, okay."

Tang Wu felt warm in her heart and just wanted to laugh.

However, Tang Wu still listened to Su Xing's words, put her arms around her waist, and leaned in her arms.

Sure enough, I felt much more comfortable and safe.

Xiao Miao, who was sitting in the back seat, held the safety handle tightly with one hand and held the back of the front seat with the other hand, feeling the bumps along the way helplessly.

He felt like his brains were being shaken and his internal organs were being thrown out.

He clenched his teeth tightly, afraid that he would spit out his breakfast if he opened his mouth.

At this time, the three of them finally understood why foreign vehicles were not allowed to run on this road.

Only drivers who are very familiar with the road conditions can drive in. If all cars are allowed to enter, car accidents may occur every day.

After more than an hour of bumpy ride, the car finally arrived at Shangyubeng Village.

In most cases, drivers only take tourists to the village entrance.

Since Tang Wu paid for a chartered car, the driver asked them about the inn they had booked and then took the three of them directly to the door of the inn.

As soon as the car stopped, Xiao Miao quickly opened the door and was the first to jump out.

"Wow……"

He ran to the side of the road, bent over and began to vomit violently.

ps: I uploaded a video on TikTok that was taken a few years ago showing the road conditions from Xidang Village to Yubeng Village. However, I only took a short video of the beginning of the mountain because I soon couldn’t hold the phone steady.
