May 4 on the third day, Zhang Jinxing say that for us is the most difficult day, "after 10 days will be well placed to exploit the." May be linked by fate, he tried to lay down their hands, it is necessary to take us out of the mountains.
He said that we "Today has been from the altitude of 2940 meters down to 400 meters in order to go to Padang on the road."
In the "hair Jiangya" We have narrow winding path into the mountains, Zhang Venus appears to be particularly excited, actually light-foot "small four-step dance," flew down the hill and said "Come with me to walk, tigers roar heard, we are not afraid."
I am with him "jump" in front, probably be my 3 days the most enjoyable time. Mao surrounded by green bamboo forest at the foot stepping on the thick pine needles, as well as pine cone, he asked me from time to time come back to, "smell the urine smell of the wild boar do ... ... Wu Liuyue copies of the breeding season is the wild boar." "See to the rhododendron forest it? that camera angle is better. "Because of his long life in the mountains, for a number of unknown Shennongjia well aware of the magic scenery in the stool with the camera under the Wild hair, it also has photographed a number of incredibly useful scenery photos. I saw the body with the lens actually is CANON's. He was like a love of nature, and I contacted him, and I came to understand his share of savage obsession, I believe that people all the legends about him is true - "Shenzhen style magazine," said:
Zhang Venus hair into the mountains after the beginning Ming - did not find the "savages" no haircut. So far his hair has become increasingly a foot, his beard is also up to head Banchi, and the white beard growing. He vowed to say no to Shennongjia "savages" of the mystery unveiled, and never out of Shennongjia, "I want to become the world's 'men Goodall' with the 'savages' to make friends." "If the woman 'Wild Man' took me, I will when it is the servant. I want to at all costs to enter the 'Wild Man' groups in the Quest, the 'savage' back down the mountain for the motherland and mankind as a whole to contribute to science."
Since ancient times, Chinese people uphold, "Heaven and Man." If you do not have such a kind of natural right to live in nature are not assimilated civilization, primitive kinds of feelings of intimacy, he will not throw the child home care, long living in the deep forests of.
I am reminded of last night talking about his story:
1 star night sky full of stars, he was in his observation point No. 3 - Leek Jiangya suddenly and saw a leopard, he began to fear, stared at it is not touched by bombs. Leopard is also hesitate to forward, with his right, as a long time, slowly came. "I'm your friend, you safely go home!" Zhang said, gesturing Venus. Leopard naturally looked at this long hair and long to be a friendly person, from in front of him had been coasted to walk past, he holding a flashlight to illuminate the way for it, it ran fast, he was walking.
This story of the encounter with the beast more, Zhang Venus have slowly accepted by them as a friend, as well as each encounter, he is also sprouting from the heart out of their excitement.
I am very envious of this process of human civilization from the exit, atavistic return to the mountain's "god." Although he is very hard, to bring a bag of 50 kilograms of the face, "salt, white pepper 3 treasure", relying on wild radish tree moss can stay in the mountains a few months. However, he was like a child as a very satisfied to live like a "nature child" like "there is no time to act depends on feeling."
And his only desire is "personally saw 'savages', when it raised the camera thrilling moment. This is the moment of arrival is long, maybe my life is for Shennongjia 'savage' exists, but alive . "
From 96 May onwards, Zhang Venus in Shennongjia built several monitoring to (one per region of the high ground, visual wide), but a man too busy to, often a loss, the chance encounter with the savage is often missed. Occasionally to Shennongjia wild test teams, but also mostly come and gone, live ammunition from the militia to defend the, 78 people in a group action in broad daylight, there are also scared off Savage. Not kept pace with partners, search for traces of Savage is too difficult. Despite 97 years of rock in the wooden partition, withered Castle, some villagers had witnessed savage haunt, but all missed and Zhang Venus, making his deep-seated regret.
He himself observed the results of data is recorded in the diary, over the years recorded a total of 12 diary, each over 200 pages. "I'm old, out of an accident, but the information will stay, will someone help me finishing."
... ...
And Zhang Venus conversations between Teng-hop, we unconsciously out of the bamboo forest, came to Tianshengqiao. Tianzaodishe great Stone Arch Bridge, Shennongxi source of slowly flowing. We are very excited to see the water again, many stay for a while, Siwantuixia socks, Tiaopo feet Xuepao, gently rinse in clean water. Tianshengqiao the original seven villages in the vicinity of more than 40 households, Zhang Venus, and they are familiar. Now the need of environmental protection, all moved around, and left and right sides of the cave Tianshengqiao "School House Rock", "long rock houses" are the year the children to read and adults a place to rest.
Shennongxi upstream along the waterfall after the group is that we have gone through hardships especially cherished gains. Smoke like pure water from heaven to pour down, bit-clear Shuimo play in our face, arm, we receive this Shennongjia his back gently gifts, like water vapor, and the sky blend.
I suddenly thought of the ancients as "the poor water re-doubt trackless mountains, vista," and "to water the poor office, sitting watching clouds from time to time do." In fact, the day is the same, you do not have urgent, the past will come.
After a waterfall group, climbed down the steep rock for a very long, suddenly no road by now. Zhang Venus to explore the way about an hour or so did not return, we are guessing he is not a case of savages of. Down gradually dark days, we few do despair, when the iron once a little nervous to focus our batteries dry food, when suddenly from the bamboo leaves and debris in the drilled a sub-head with long hair and long to be a red-faced guy, is the Zhang Venus! Finally there is hope coming out of. The advantage of the opportunity to do just sprouted to give up the idea of Savage, we are again on top of a difficult turn back on steep slopes, like a forced march of pointing at the Venus, under Chang hurry.
Shennongxi have been listening to the sound of the ravine where the water and turns back to 1000. Before dark, we saw a small piece of medicine fields, especially warm - finally someone smoke in! Two Tujia Yaonongtouchan handkerchief, is to ground the "independent living" (pain-killing anti-inflammatory use) loosen the soil. They smiled warmly at us. I do not know why, my nose is sour, and find out that they are so dependent on civilization. We are an arduous journey of several days, the presence of dense forest in Savage doing a romantic dream of searching, but will eventually be converted to an existing civilization on track.
Today, a total of more than 50 years mountain walking, excitement and tension to stay in the daytime. The evening, Zhang Venus live in a small village, and we waved goodbye. Valley Village, under Section 7 of the villagers, a flashlight to take us out of the mountain 12 years, I like to sleep like, dreaming hurry. A total of four Tujia encountered along the way small villages, the warm lights turn on, give us water to drink, I do not dare to stop and break, can not stop, a stop will relax the whole person, not walk.
XU Xu-black on both sides of the mountains, in front of a flashlight illuminated a small plot of land, ear buzzing sound of the stream. Heard that a few years, these villages have gone. Arable land is small, along with wild boar frequently patronize a year harvest little. I am reminded of when he first entered Shennongjia along the bus to see the slogan: "large wooden people want to get rich, sheep kinds of ginger is one way to", "protection of land for the benefit of future generations." Appreciate the beauty of the land area of less survival difficult.
To 11 o'clock, we finally set foot on roads and in the next Valley Village inn settled. Until now, the basic conclusion of cross-country on foot.
Looking back the past, peach conclusion is "gnashing of teeth." SNOBY laments: "The people's power in the end how much?" He at least had "died" 56 back.
I began to miss the Beijing strongly, phone calls, could not help the tears when the vertical and horizontal.
