Pingyao One Day
Mountain streams
First, the road is long
Taking advantage of the last day of the college entrance examination, I went to Pingyao.
After retirement, caring for his grandson became an important unpaid job. Living and living are also arranged according to the schedule of the kindergarten. It was already possible to "just go" without restraint, but the strong feeling of licking the calf is still difficult to let go.
No, the city's primary and secondary schools and kindergartens are all on leave to make way for the more important college entrance examination. I had the opportunity to go to Pingyao.
The afternoon before yesterday, I went back to Wuxiang County and visited my mother-in-law with my wife. Early the next morning, I drove to Pingyao.
My wife and brother, who are more attentive than us, are busy calling friends near the highway entrance to ask about the status of the route. The reply was that it was possible to go, but there was a section of the road that was being repaired.
Still, I opened the navigation. For the first 10 kilometers, the car drove on a relatively gentle country road, the temperature was neither cold nor hot, the right front was slightly orange-yellow sunshine, and the emerald green along the way gave people a pleasant feeling. In the second 10 kilometers, the car entered the mountainous area, and the navigation kept issuing "U-turn", "Please make a U-turn in a suitable position", "Turn around one hundred and fifty meters ahead", ...... The wife panicked, and from time to time wondered if the route was correct. I was also forced by her to furious, so I hurriedly stopped and asked a woman who was exercising in the morning, and got an answer, and kept walking, and a big road passed. At this time, the car entered the winding mountain road, and one by one the uphill people could not see the road at a glance, and the downhill felt that I didn't know how deep it was. The navigation is still chattering about "U-turn". Finally, at a fork in the road, a medium-sized truck was inserted, and I suddenly had some confidence in my heart, and I could take the road of a truck, which must be a big road. Then he cautiously followed the truck not far or near.
After turning a village corner, a wide road suddenly opened up in front of me. I know in my heart that this is National Highway 208. However, this is a large road construction site, looking left and right, in addition to the potholed roads at both ends, the bridges being built are all kinds of machinery and equipment. Oh, I felt cold in my heart again, coupled with the "U-turn" sound of navigation, mixed with my wife's complaints, and I was extremely depressed. In fact, what is tourism, tourism is to travel the mood, with a good mood, a stinky ditch will let you linger. The mood is not happy, and the most beautiful scenery in the world is dull and tasteless.
I got out of the car and asked a local old farmer, and the old man said that the car could go over, and there were about ten kilometers left. God, just between two neighboring towns in the same county, the distance has reached thirty kilometers, and this place is really vast and sparsely populated. At this time, I had to drive forward. Although the road was bumpy, and the two cars were a mistake and a slip of dust, fortunately, there were not many cars, and it was quite smooth. It's already far away from the highway, but the right road is too intricate to figure out where it is. A few migrant workers who built the road pointed out that they would go against the road on the right and they would arrive.
Suddenly it happened, what is Pingyao? Isn't that located in the Jinzhong Plain, and the road is far away and difficult to reach.
Thinking about it afterwards, a small tour still has to go through such difficulties, and those who have achieved outstanding achievements, which one of them did not go through countless hardships like Tang Seng to learn scriptures. Moreover, life itself is a process, and the memories in life that are deep and can gain valuable experience are all engraved in the heart of the ups and downs, and many smooth sailing have not left a mark.
