C32 Sleeping in the Open on the Sky Gate Mountain
Out of Guanyin Pavilion, Chen Tianming raised his head and looked at the sky. It was getting late. He then walked towards the main entrance of the monastery.
When he arrived at the main entrance of Tianmen Temple, Chen Tianming found that a few tourists and Tan were waiting for him at the entrance. He couldn't help but quicken his pace and walked in front of them. He said with some embarrassment, "I'm really sorry to have made everyone wait for so long."
One of the male tourists said impatiently, "Alright, brother, don't be so long-winded if you're late. If it wasn't for Tan saying that we should go together, who would wait for you?"
Chen Tianming didn't pay much attention to the mocking words of the tourist. He just smiled apologetically at Tan.
Tan did not say much and directly said to everyone, "Alright, since everyone is here, let's quickly return to the Sky Stairwell. We have agreed to wait there. I reckon that there are already people waiting there."
Everyone followed Tan in twos and threes towards the direction of the Sky Stairwell. Chen Tianming rushed a few steps to Tan's side and said, "Miss Tan,i want to discuss something with you?"
Tan looked at Chen Tianming strangely and said as she walked, "What is it that you want to discuss with me?"
Chen Tianming took out the number plate from his pocket and handed it to Tan. He said, "This is for you. I will not go down the mountain with you."
"What? You are not going back with us?" Tan suddenly stopped and blocked the path of the few tourists behind her. Two of them did not notice and directly hit Tan.
"Tan, why did you stop walking?" A tourist who bumped into Tan complained.
Tan quickly turned around and apologized to the people behind her with a smile. She then said as she walked, "What do you want? Don't tell me you want to sleep on the mountaintop."
Chen Tianming looked at Tan and said with a smile, "You really guessed it right. I have this plan today."
Tan saw that Chen Tianming did not look like he was joking and asked, "But I did not see you bring camping equipment like tents."
Chen Tianming patted the big backpack on his back with his hands behind his back and said with a smile, "Can you hold such heavy things in your hands? They are all in the backpack." Of course, there were no outdoor utensils in the backpack. Chen Tianming did this just to find an excuse to stay on the mountain.
Tan believed him and took Chen Tianming's number plate. She said, "If you want to stay, then stay. I took your number plate. Then the contract between you and our travel agency will be cleared. If anything happens, you can't come to us. "
Chen Tianming laughed and said, "Miss Tan, don't scare me. What can happen to me if I sleep in the open for one night?"
Tan glanced at Chen Tianming and said with an indifferent expression, "Don't say that I didn't tell you that there were barbarians in Tianmen Mountain. It's fine if you sleep in the open. Don't wander around on the mountain at night. There are many cliffs here. If you don't touch the barbarians, you might fall down the mountain. At that time, you won't even be able to find your corpse."
Wasn't that so? He was going to jump off the cliff at night. Chen Tianming smiled bitterly in his heart.
Tan and Chen Tianming walked side by side for a while. Seeing Chen Tianming not talking, she thought Chen Tianming was really scared by her. She could not help smiling at Chen Tianming and said, "What is it? Scared by my words? Haha... You will be fine if you don't run around."
Tan was about the same age as Chen Tianming. She was still in her innocent teenage years. Although she worked as a tour guide, she was still as lively and naive as a young girl.
Chen Tianming looked at the lively and cute Xiangxi sister beside him and had a good impression of her. "I know. I promise I won't run around."
Tan smiled and said, "It's useless to promise me. You can promise Chairman Mao."
Chen Tianming smiled helplessly.
...
Soon, Chen Tianming arrived at the entrance of the Stairway Tree.
Chen Tianming took off Tan's clothes and said, "Miss Tan,i won't follow you guys anymore. I'm preparing to return to the mountain. I can prepare for camping at night."
Tan turned around and looked at Chen Tianming and said, "If you insist on staying, then stay. But you should be careful. Be careful. It is very dangerous to walk on the mountain at night."
"Yes,i know. Thank you for reminding me." Alright, Chen Tianming said.
Tan looked at Chen Tianming and did not say much. She had too many questions about Chen Tianming.
With his eyesight, Tan and a few tourists went down the Stairway to Heaven and gradually went further away. Chen Tianming turned around and walked towards the Western Front.
It was already late, and the tourists also began to descend the mountain one after another. Along the way, Chen Tianming met many tourists from the Western Front to the Stairway to Heaven. Chen Tianming did not stay at the few tourist spots on the Western Front. He directly walked towards the "cave" of the Ghost Valley Cave.
When he arrived at the "cave," there were only a few tourists who stayed there. Chen Tianming found a corner by the "cave" and hid in a corner. It was autumn and winter, and the Heavenly Gate Mountain was still very cold.
Not long after, the remaining tourists also went down the mountain one after another. Chen Tianming was the only one left in the cave. He stood up from the corner and walked to the green leaves by the cliff. He looked around and found that the Ghost Valley Cave was still very mysterious.
When the sun set, the mountain was wet and slippery. Chen Tianming did not dare to stay by the cliff for long. After arriving at a safe place, Chen Tianming wondered if he should take the opportunity to go down and explore the cave when the sky was still lit. However, this idea was quickly dispelled by Chen Tianming. Firstly, he didn't know if there were any other people who stayed on the mountain other than him. Secondly, it wasn't dark yet. It would be bad if more tourists came up.
After thinking for a while, Chen Tianming decided to move in the middle of the night. At most, he would just eat a few more mouthfuls of mountain wind.
Chen Tianming went back to the corner and got up. The sky was getting darker. In fact, watching the sunset on the mountain was also a kind of enjoyment. However, Chen Tianming no longer had the leisure and elegance. The mountain wind in the autumn and winter season was not a cover, especially at night. The mountain wind was piercingly cold, and it hurt when it blew on people's bodies.
Chen Tianming picked up some dry firewood around him and simply made a bonfire. Only then did he feel a little warmer.
The corner that Chen Tianming chose was not bad. Carrying the wind, he was not afraid that the wind would extinguish the fire. He was also not afraid that the wind would blow the flames to the surrounding trees and cause a forest fire.
Chen Tianming took out the bread and biscuits that he had prepared earlier from his backpack. It was easy to eat them in a few bites, but in this kind of environment, there was no good hospitality. Being able to eat a few bites of bread and biscuits was already considered to be a little Kang.
Just like that, he warmed up the bonfire in front of him. From time to time, he would come out to take a look at the surrounding situation. Chen Tianming stayed in this corner all the way until midnight.
At this moment, the sky at midnight was like a black curtain. There was not a single star in sight. Even the moon seemed to have been kidnapped by the black cloth, covering half of its face. Only a vague outline could be seen.
The moon was dark and the wind was strong. It was a good time for people who were used to sneaking around in the dark. ...
