2. Original text:
On the way to Mont Blanc, we first went to Martini by train, and then set off on foot after 8 o'clock the next morning. There are many people walking together on the road, riding carriages and mules-thus raising clouds of dust. The procession spread out in an endless stream, which lasted for about a mile. The road is uphill-all the way uphill-and quite steep.
The weather is scorching hard to stop. The men and women who ride on the backs of mules that crawl slowly and the carriages that stagger into are scorched by the scorching sun, which is really pitiful. We can spend the summer in the Woods and have a rest, but those people can't. Since they spent money on the bus, we must make their travel price worthwhile.
we took the black head and reached the highland, and there were many beautiful scenery along the way. There is a place that needs to pass through the tunnel and cross the mountain; Overlooking the canyon at the foot, I saw a clear stream rushing. Looking around, the rock walls were steep and the hills were green and beautiful. Waterfalls poured and roared all over the Black Road.
about half an hour before arriving at aranti village, a huge snow dome suddenly came into view, shining brightly in the sunshine. The dome is V-shaped, with a lofty view. This is a mountain gate. It turns out that we have witnessed Mont Blanc, which is called "the king of the Alps". We climbed the stairs, and the majestic dome rose higher and higher, soaring into the blue sky, and finally seemed to be alone in the sky.
Some peaks around Mont Blanc are grotesque-all of them are light brown bare sharp rocks. Some tips are sharp and slightly inclined to one side, just like the fingers of a beautiful woman; There is a strange peak, shaped like candy, but also like a hat on the bishop's head; Because the rock is too steep, the white snow can't be piled up, and only a few places can be seen occasionally at the dividing line.
Before staying in the highland and heading for the village of Aranti at the foot of the mountain, we looked at a nearby peak on our back, but we saw colorful, rosy clouds all over the sky, white clouds around us, singing and dancing lightly, and the white clouds were exquisite and soft, just like gossamer cobwebs. Pink and light green in the colorful colors are particularly charming, and all colors are light and soft, which complement each other and are charming.
let's just sit on the spot and enjoy the unique scenery. This colorful illusion only stays for a little while, and then it is erratic, blending with each other and fading away, but it suddenly returns to the light and changes rapidly, which is really endless and endless; White and thin clouds, shimmering, like pure angels in clothes.
for a long time, we finally realized that the gorgeous colors in front of us and their endless changes are everything we can see from the floating soap bubbles. Wherever the bubbles go, all kinds of colors change and are absorbed in them. The most beautiful and exquisite creation in nature is soap bubbles: just now, the gorgeous colors in the air and the brocade in the sky are like soap bubbles that burst and spread in the sun.
I think, if there was only one soap bubble in the world, what would its value be?
It takes eight hours from Martini to Aranti. Several times, we left all our bikes behind. On the way to Sha Meng, along the river valley, we hired an open carriage, and spent another hour on a delicious meal, so that the driver also had a chance to indulge in drinking and was slightly drunk. He has a friend with him, so this friend also has time to have a drink.
On the road, the driver said that all the tourists had arrived and even got ahead of us when we were having dinner. "But," he said confidently, "there's no need to worry about it-calm down-don't be impetuous-although they have gone away, they will soon disappear behind us. Just sit back and relax. I'll take care of everything-I'm the king of coachmen. You watch! "
with a flick of his whip, the car staggered forward. It's so bumpy that I've never seen it in my life. Recently, several heavy rains washed away several roads, but we kept going, kept the speed as usual, and galloped forward, regardless of any rocky waste and gully wilderness-sometimes one or two wheels touched the ground, but most of them were in the air.
The calm and kind crazy driver turned around from time to time and said to us with dignity, "Ha, did you see that? As I said-I am a veritable king of coachmen. "
whenever we are in danger, he always keeps a straight face and says with a pleasant countenance, "Just think of it as fun, gentlemen. This situation is not common, but it is very unusual-there are very few people who can get in the car of Che Wang-see, as I said, I am Che Wang."
He speaks French and burps from time to time, as if punctuating. His friend is also French, but he speaks German-but the punctuation system is the same. The friend called himself "Captain Blanc" and asked us to climb the mountain with him.
he said that he climbed the mountain more times than anyone else-47 times-while his brother only climbed 37 times. Besides him, his brother is the best guide in the world-but he himself, by the way, please don't forget-he is "Captain Blanc"-and this title belongs to him.
The car king really kept his promise-catching up with and overtaking the long tourist motorcade like a gale. As a result, after arriving at Sha Meng Hotel, we stayed in a superior room. It would be impossible if this prince's driving skills were slightly less agile-or, it was not God's intention, and he was drunk when he left Alanti.
