Coach: Coaching the Grizzlies at the beginning, playing the bantam

"Three snapshots of the Magpie Bridge for 20 yuan!" The photographer stepped on the rocks to block the tourists. Hannah posed but was pulled into the shade by Lu Yong: "It's more fun to take photos by yourself."

He raised the pan/tilt but accidentally pressed the record button. The camera recorded Hannah's puffy cheeks as she grabbed the equipment, and the dandelion seeds on the ends of her hair happened to explode into halos in the sunset.

As soon as the picnic mat was spread out on the "Yao Chi" viewing platform, Hannah's fruit box was overturned by the mountain wind.

The apple slice slid along the stone wall in a graceful arc and finally got stuck on the top of the "No Feeding" sign.

Lu Yong's funny posture of using a trekking pole to rescue food was captured in a short video by tourists on the opposite cliff, and the soundtrack "Fatal Fury" echoed like a trio in the valley.

"Love lock engraving service!" The stall owner was hammering on the heart-shaped mold. Hannah had just chosen her spot when Lu Yong covered her eyes: "If you peek, your sincerity will be halved."

The copper lock sank into the iron box with a dull thud, and suddenly there was a red rope on her wrist - the man had used scraps of material to make a bracelet, and a copper plate engraved with the initials of their two surnames was embedded in the knot.

A sudden rainstorm occurred on the trail down the mountain, and the two took shelter in the abandoned cable car ticket booth.

Hannah was twisting the water off the hem of her skirt when she suddenly found a box of damp matches on the windowsill.

Lu Yong rubbed three of them before lighting the mosquito coil. The dancing flames illuminated the raindrops on Hannah's nose: "A scene of primitive people teaching how to make fire by drilling wood."

The balcony of the mountain view room where we stayed overnight faced the Galaxy Waterfall. Hannah wrapped herself in a bath towel and ate the crispy baked buns she bought from the scenic spot.

Lu Yong suddenly turned off all the lights and shone the flashlight on his cell phone towards the rock wall: "Look at the natural star map!"

Moss and mineral veins intertwined into constellation patterns in the beam of light. She extended her index finger to connect the light spots, and the virtual trajectory coincided with the outline of Scorpio.

"Will I be sued for grilling on the balcony?" Hannah hesitated as she held the electric grill provided by the B&B. Lu Yong had already arranged the potato slices into a heart shape.
When the smoke alarmed the patrolling security guard, the man quickly covered the grill pan with a bath towel, and Hannah cooperated by raising the red wine bottle: "Watch the moon and taste the wine, no open flames."

When the alarm went off at three in the morning, Hannah was dreaming of climbing a ladder to the stars.

Lu Yong wrapped her in a thin blanket and pulled her to the terrace. The dark blue sky suddenly exploded with sporadic flames - some couple was secretly setting off cold fireworks on the opposite hill. As the silvery white sparks fell into the deep valley, he suddenly put his warm palm on the back of her neck: "I caught a stray meteor."

When the morning mist had not yet dispersed, they went to the stream to fish. Hannah's net caught half a bottle of colored pebbles. Lu Yong squatted on the stepping stone to teach her how to skip stones, but the best record holder was a squirrel that passed by and threw pine cones. When the administrator approached with a ticket, the two pretended to study the hydrological monitor, and their soaked trouser legs were still dripping with cunning water drops.

"The cable car has been inspected and will be modified to take a wild route!" The bulletin board shattered Hannah's lazy plan. Lu Yong took out a bamboo stick like a magician: "This guide provides three-dragon service." The rotten wood on the steep slope suddenly broke. He hugged the unbalanced Hannah around the waist. The trekking stick flew out, startling a whole group of white wagtails. The fluttering shadows of their wings left a pattern of flying birds on the moss and lichen.

While resting at the "Qintai", Hannah found a chess game on the stone table. Lu Yong used wild berries as chess pieces to deduce the seventeenth variation of "Lan Ke Pu". When the cleaning lady came to claim compensation, he quickly wiped the stone table with a wet wipe, and the juice that had not dried yet was stained with a freehand landscape painting.

Before checking out of the B&B, Hannah insisted on writing in the guestbook. The tip of her pen hovered for a while but ended up drawing a squirrel wearing a straw hat.

Lu Yong added a stick figure holding a trekking pole, with a line of small words hidden where the tail meets the other: "In a certain year and month, the cloud chaser signed for spring here."

When the bus started, Hannah suddenly held down Lu Yong's hand as he reached for his phone: "In the last three minutes, just look at the mountains."

The Tianhe Mountain outside the windshield was surrounded by flowing clouds, and the ochre-red color of the rock wall was smudged in the morning light, like the eyeshadow palette that she didn't have time to wipe clean last night.

.........

It was a new day, and Lu Yong and his friend went out restlessly again.

"My shoelaces are tied into a knot!" Hannah hopped on one foot and rushed into the revolving door of the hotel. The girl at the front desk handed her a pair of scissors while trying to hold back her laughter.

Lu Yong squatted down and untied the tangled knot on her canvas shoes. The morning light shone through the glass curtain wall, sticking the two shadows into a two-headed monster, baring its fangs and claws on the Persian carpet.

The scenic area's direct bus was packed with college students sketching, and the two-person seat Hannah grabbed was half occupied by a drawing board. Lu Yong took away the guide map she had placed on her knees and began to draw a route guide while the car was bumping. When the tip of the ballpoint pen pierced the paper, the car was turning around the welcoming stone with three large vermilion characters "Jiulongxia" engraved on it.

"The peach trees are blooming by the waterfall!" Hannah exclaimed, pointing at the pink and white clusters of flowers on the cliff. Lu Yong unscrewed the thermos and handed it to her: "Xingtai's April snow refers to the peach petals blown away by the wind." Before the hot water even touched her lips, a whole group of gray sparrows flew over the roof of the car, startling the falling petals. Two or three petals happened to fall into the mouth of the cup and swirled around.

The prayer rack in front of the ticket gate was full of wooden signs. Hannah leaned in to take a closer look at a red sign that said "Pass the postgraduate entrance examination". Suddenly, the copper bell on the eaves was knocked by the mountain wind. Lu Yong took the opportunity to stuff an empty sign into the side pocket of her backpack. The metal ring hit the thermos cup and made a ding-dong sound: "Han Banxian's on-site blessing service is free for a limited time."

The bluestone road was soaked with night dew and glistened. Hannah jumped and crushed the shadows of the clouds in the puddles. Lu Yong suddenly pulled her away from the hanging thorny vines, but his head hit the swaying warning sign. The "Beware of Falling Rocks" sign clanged and shook the broken stones off. When the two fled, they startled the hares in the bushes, and the gray shadows jumped towards the observation deck like a cannonball.

"Nine waterfalls and ten pools are linked together!" Hannah counted the waterfall numbers according to the guide map. Just as her phone camera was aimed at the "Yulong Waterfall", Lu Yong suddenly splashed a handful of pool water from behind. The water droplets reflected a small rainbow in the sunlight, and reflected in her collarbone like a liquid pendant. The splash of water accidentally injured the passing tour guide holding the flag, and the scolding in the loudspeaker chased them across the three-fold stone steps.

An old man at the entrance of the glass plank road was selling non-slip shoe covers. When Hannah was bargaining, she was forced to give him a handful of wild hawthorns. Lu Yong bit into the green fruit and frowned, but she swallowed three without changing her expression: "The hidden skills of Xingtai girls." The abyss under the transparent glass was shining coldly. His knuckles grasping the railing were paler than the handrail. Hannah took the opportunity to take a picture of his stiff back: "A person with acrophobia walking in space."

The proprietress of the hanging teahouse tried her best to sell cloud tea, and Hannah stared at her reflection in the tea soup in a daze. Lu Yong suddenly threw a wild hawthorn into her cup, and the crimson fruit sank and floated in the green waves. "Divination game," he shook the bottomless teacup, "If it sinks, rub my shoulders." The fruit floated stubbornly for five minutes until it was swept into the bottom of the cup by the water flow when the proprietress added water.

"Look at the rainbow!" Hannah grabbed Lu Yong's sleeve and rushed to Longyin Waterfall. The seven-color light bridge woven by the mist was dissipating on the surface of the pool. He took out his mobile phone with only 1% battery left, and in a hurry, he used her lipstick to draw a sketch on the back of the scenic map. Hannah stood on tiptoe and added a little figure in the shape of a drowned rat next to the painting. The moment the lipstick broke, the last bit of power froze this impromptu creation.

The abandoned cableway station has become a base for wild cats. When Hannah broke bread to feed her, the tabby cat suddenly jumped onto Lu Yong's shoulder. The man's neck was stiff and he dared not move. The hood of his sweatshirt became a temporary cat bed. Hannah raised her phone and took 20 consecutive photos. When the cat's paw pressed the shutter, Lu Yong finally shook off the furry photographer.

"The ancient vines are older than the scenic area!" The explanation on the tour guide's loudspeaker shook off a few young leaves. Hannah was tying a prayer sign to the guardrail covered with wisteria. Lu Yong leaned in to see her writing "retire soon", sneered and took out his own sign - "help Hannah realize her daydream". The wooden signs collided and made a clear sound, startling the hoopoe that was preening its feathers on the trellis. The downhill path was suddenly diverted due to construction, and the two followed the signs into the wild cherry forest. Hannah's sunscreen jacket got caught on a low branch, and the ripe fruit hit Lu Yong's neck and splashed rose-red juice. He turned around and shook the branches in retaliation. The whole cherry rain drenched Hannah's hair with red beads, and the juice wiped by his fingertips drew a crooked heart on her T-shirt.

While resting by the lake, they found a bottle stuck in the crevice of the rocks. Hannah picked up the yellowed homework paper and exclaimed, "An elementary school student's secret love diary in 2012!" Lu Yong used mineral water to make the faded handwriting visible. As the two of them worked together to decipher "Chen Haohao from Class , Grade likes the leader who wears a ponytail," bamboo rafts full of tourists passed by the lake, and their unbridled laughter was covered by the duet of folk songs.

The clothes drying rack on the balcony of the homestay was full of damp coats. Hannah twisted her hair and suggested: "Let's play idiom chain, and the loser will buy a midnight snack." Lu Yong got stuck on "Dragon and Tiger Leap" and secretly changed the rules to "How to write the word for "eager to try"". After being hit by a pillow, he honestly took out the food delivery app. When the sweet aroma of sugar-roasted chestnuts mixed into the evening breeze, a baby cried loudly from the balcony next door.

Hannah was looking through the sports camera footage when she was suddenly stunned: a corner of a certain video showed Lu Yong secretly stuffing motion sickness pills into her backpack.

In the picture, his profile was divided by the shadow of the tree as he lowered his head to tear the wrapping paper, and his fingertips trembled in anxiety when the zipper got stuck.

She paused the video and poked him in the waist: "The suspect explained the motive for the crime." The man grabbed her wrist with his backhand, and the smiling face made of chestnut shells on the table was missing a tooth.

Hannah was woken up by the hiking group next door before the morning mist dissipated. She closed her eyes and put earplugs in Lu Yong's arms.

He pinched her nose until she woke up. The phone screen showed five seventeen: "Anyone who peeks at the sunrise will be punished."

At the moment when the top floor observation deck was crowded with cameras, the sea of ​​clouds swallowed up the morning glow. When everyone sighed and dispersed, he suddenly pointed at her pupils: "This place contains the entire unborn dawn."

Before the return bus started, Hannah suddenly stuffed a pebble into Lu Yong's palm.

The gray and white lines showed a faint outline of a heart under the sunlight. It was picked up secretly when playing by the pond yesterday. The man turned the stone and suddenly laughed: "A geologist missed the most important formation age-"

The shadows of the mountains outside the car window gradually blurred, and the wild hawthorn kernel in Lu Yong's sweater pocket pricked his fingertips.

Hannah leaned on his shoulder to catch up on her sleep, her eyelashes casting a fine fence on her eyelids, locking in the rainbow swaying on the glass plank road last night and the half-line of poetry that he had not yet had time to say in the cherry rain.

.........

The next morning.

"The trekking pole is making sparks!" Hannah poked at the scratches on the marble floor of the hotel, and the front desk manager trotted over with the "Facility Damage Compensation Form". Lu Yong quickly covered the dent with chewing gum, turned around and pointed at the wild cat that flew past the revolving door: "The culprit just escaped, do you need help from an animal behavior expert?"

The scenic area's direct bus was full of elderly photography groups. Hannah had just fastened her seat belt when she was stuffed with a bag of wolfberry and walnut kernels. "Girl, please help me test whether it is damp or not." Under the eager gaze of the aunt in the front row, Lu Yong bit open a walnut and said, "Report to the commander, the dryness is just right to make my canine teeth fall off." When the car window passed by the "Yunmeng Mountain" stone carving, he suddenly took out a mini humidifier from his pocket and hung it on Hannah's backpack strap, shaking it like a bell.

The thousand-year-old locust tree at the ticket gate was fluffing, and Hannah's sunscreen mask was covered with hairy seeds. Lu Yong used transparent tape to help her remove them, and the sound of tearing was mixed with the uncles' full-hearted comments: "This generation of young people is quite professional in pest control!"

"Guiguzi Lecture Cave!" The guide pointed the flag at the deep cave. Hannah had just taken out her headlamp when Lu Yong put on a miner's hat. The moment the cold white beam split the darkness, the water droplets on the rock wall reflected the entire sea of ​​stars. The echo of her exclamation startled seventeen bats, and the airflow from their flapping wings overturned the flagpole of the tour group.

The stalactites deep in the cave glowed with an eerie light. Lu Yong suddenly grabbed Hannah's wrist and said, "Step on my footprints, and this stone slab will sing." The moss-covered remains of the arrow stacks from the Warring States period echoed ethereally. Under the sound-controlled lights that were lit up by his stomping feet, two shadows overlapped on the rock paintings to form a ferocious shadow play.

The iron chains in the rock climbing area were hung with rusty love locks. Hannah was studying a copper lock from 2013 when the safety rope was suddenly pulled tight - Lu Yong's carabiner was stuck in the crack. When the rescuers cut the rope, she secretly stuffed a candy into the crack: "Bribe the mountain god to keep safe." The melted candy attracted groups of ants in the afternoon, crawling out winding snake tracks on the rock wall.

"Can the cliff carvings be copied?" Hannah was eager to try, touching the scripture from the Northern Wei Dynasty. The moment the administrator turned around, Lu Yong had already used her lipstick to quickly copy it on the paper towel. The cinnabar-colored "Yunmeng" was blown away by the mountain wind before it dried, and fluttered to the bamboo basket of the herbalist on the opposite cliff, like a flying talisman.

The glass viewing platform was suspended over a thousand-meter-deep abyss. When Hannah jumped to test the load-bearing capacity, Lu Yong was using a sports camera to shoot his white knuckles. The panoramic camera suddenly captured the spectacle of the sea of ​​clouds engulfing the plank road. When he dragged Hannah back, he knocked over the trash can. The empty bottles that rolled down floated in the fog like a small boat, carrying a wishing coin that someone had just thrown and disappeared into the whiteness.

The pebble stove in the "picnic area" still had scorch marks from previous barbecues. Hannah opened the self-heating hot pot but Lu Yong confiscated the chili packet: "The noise someone made looking for stomach medicine in the middle of the night last night was like an earthquake." The aroma of the mushroom soup attracted a short-tailed squirrel, which squatted on the rock and bowed to it, so the two of them broke half a bag of bread until the patrol car's horn scared away the professional beggar.

Next to the broken stele at the site of the ancient post road, Hannah wiped the blurred inscriptions with a wet wipe.

Lu Yong suddenly stuffed a snowball into the collar behind her neck - the snowball was made into a heart shape from the remaining ice in the shade of the mountain top, and the melted ice water slid down the spine into her waist.

The counterattacking snow debris accidentally injured the college student who was sketching, and the ink eagle on the drawing board, which had not yet dried, was immediately soaked.

When going downhill, they were hit by a sudden sun shower, and the two hid in the abandoned cable car control room.

Hannah twisted her hair and hummed an off-tune folk song, while Lu Yong played the accompaniment with a piece of iron, and the dust that fell danced a waltz in the beam of light.

When the administrator came over with a key chain to check the room, they were using dead branches to draw a line between the Chu River and Han River on the dusty control panel.

"Buy one cliff swing, get one free!" The vendor's shouting mixed with the sound of pine trees came, and Hannah's fingertips, which were fastened on her seat belt, trembled slightly.

The swing swung to the highest point of the sea of ​​clouds, and Lu Yong suddenly shouted: "Comrade Hannah——"

The tail end of the sentence was torn apart by the strong wind, and only after she landed did she hear the second half of the sentence clearly: "You threw your social media post in my face."

The broken rubber band still hangs on the branch of an ancient pine tree, with three strands of rainbow-colored acrylic thread wrapped around it. (End of this chapter)
