The road ahead was indeed a bit difficult to navigate.
At some places, it was practically a motorcycle path.
It seemed there were some Fishing Men who had ridden motorcycles in here.
But still, there were very few motorcycle tracks, as there was some grass growing in the middle of the path.
Luckily, this area leading to the last site was devoid of tall trees; it was filled with dense and thick Shennong River reeds, which were the most common here.
Liu Zhizhong's Big Lao, although a bit slow, crushed its way through like a bulldozer, carving out a nearly 2.5-meter-wide path.
Sometimes, there were small scrubs and thorny bushes on either side of the vehicle, which were simply shoved aside without a care for scratches or scrapes.
Lu Yumei felt sorry for the vehicle and said to him, "Hey, Zhizhong, just let it be. Don't be so rough. The car's getting all scratched up; it hurts my heart! Think about the cost of repainting and all that, isn't it expensive?"
While steadily driving, Liu Zhizhong turned on the full-automatic driving assist and said, "What's there to be afraid of, most beautiful mother-in-law? The wildest off-road routes are , heh heh…"
"Go on, you're still joking at a time ? I'm really feeling for your car here! It's such a good vehicle, and it's a pity to see it get scratched up, not to mention the undercarriage..."
Chattering away, she really didn't treat Liu Zhizhong like an outsider.
Liu Zhizhong waited until she had finished worrying before smiling and saying, "Don't worry, Mrs. Lu, it's not a big deal. This vehicle has an armored undercarriage, top-notch; the body is made of the most bulletproof materials, coated with bulletproof diamond paint. Small twigs and thorns can't scratch it, at most they'll just add a bit of color. A rinse with water and a wipe down later, and it'll be gone."
"No joke. A car worth 20 million pounds, if it doesn't have some technology and toughness, would it be worth the price?"
"Oh… haha, seems like it, then go ahead and drive as rough as you want. I won't fret over it anymore."
Lu Yumei was quite happy, smiling as splendidly as a blooming peach tree.
It was rare for her to be so approachable and down-to-earth, which Liu Zhizhong also found very enjoyable.
This was the family relationship he wished for, how nice was that?
A harmonious home makes everything prosper!
Passing through large swathes of reeds, they reached the end of the road, and Liu Zhizhong was stunned.
At the end of the road was an open area, overgrown with miscellaneous trees and weeds, with lots of random rocks and some rubbish left behind by the Fishermen.
It seemed this was where those motorcycling Fishermen parked their vehicles and left behind too much litter.
Ahead, there was a footpath that sloped gently down a stone hillside that stretched for five to six hundred meters, winding its way down to the little river.
This gentle hillside was covered with bare rocks, with stubborn reeds and other weeds growing out of the cracks in the rocks, without any big trees.
Judging by the looks of it, during the flood season that happened before, the water level had nearly reached the top of this slope.
Such a place couldn't foster the growth of big trees or retain small stones. And the stony path trodden by Fishermen on the rocky slope was all uneven and pitted.
Thinking about it, those Fishermen who rode their motorcycles to this place probably didn't have very good bikes, did they? They wouldn't have dared to ride down, would they?
So, they parked their vehicles on this broken mountain top, then carried their fishing gear on their backs and walked down the mountain to that beautiful little river.
Right across the small river was a sheer mountain cliff, and the river cliff at the bottom of the huge stone hillside on this side, enclosed the small river into a beautiful crescent shape, akin to a unique human organ.
Upstream, there was a waterfall-like stream cascading down from a low precipice, nearly fifty meters high. Downstream, two mountains squeezed the river into a twenty-meter-wide channel known as First-tier Sky.
In the middle was an open and flat area, a deep pool that stretched over seven to eight hundred meters. The pool was a clear green, and its depth was unfathomable!
Liu Zhizhong and Lu Yumei, sitting in the car, were blocked by a giant rock weighing several hundred pounds, naturally unable to advance any further.
However, the geological structure before them was stunning, a sight that filled them with shock and admiration. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝙣𝙚𝙩
Under the magnificent sunset glow, the huge stone hillside on this side, the tall granite cliffs on the other, the clear and deep river water in the center, along with the patches of green grass along the riverbank, composed a beautiful and serene view, a world untouched by anyone.
"Wow, if we could park the car on the grass by the river and camp out for ten days or eight, how undisturbed and great that would be!" Liu Zhizhong exclaimed sincerely.
"Yeah! It's so beautiful! So quiet! Coming to a place is such a pleasure. Look at that river water; it's like a large, beautiful, and green crescent moon." Lu Yumei nodded, her face filled with indescribable joy and pleasure.
"Actually, it looks more like a human organ."
"What?" Lu Yumei paused, took a closer look at the contour of the river surface, and couldn't help but lower her head unconsciously to glance at her own chest. Her face turned red, and she blurted out subconsciously, "This… this…"
"Hey, Mrs. Lu, what's wrong?" Liu Zhizhong looked seriously puzzled, utterly clueless.
Lu Yumei glared at him, "You brat, what are you thinking about?"
"Uh… I'm not thinking about anything!"
"You clearly are, hmph!"
Suddenly, Lu Yumei opened the car door and hopped out...
