7.5

We confirmed the place and time of Mingyuan Li’s arrival while eating. We decided to slept on the bus while waiting:

The sky in the country was fresh and clear. The cloud on the grassland surely surpassed its peer on the city with imagination and speed(of change and motion). The charm of the moon was impressively magified.

Mingyuan Li got on the bus at 4 a.m. He had been holding his mobile phone all along the way, hoping to chat with us, but the low battery charge restrained him. He was almost in tears when he saw us, especially when he saw the food we collected for him from the dining table.

10 a.m.: we began our exploration on the grassland. The rain bothered us quite a bit, but when i saw the grassland, i thought i was in the world of fairy tales.

but the rain again stopped us, and we resorted again to cards:

Finally we got on horse backs, and i was about to ride wild in this beautiful land:

But with no luck, my horse couldn’t make it faster than the speed of my running. “He did his best.” the horse man said to me.

After horse riding, we headed for

which reminded me the default wallpaper of windows XP: bliss

we all wanted to express our feelings for such beauty:

and my way was to explore a higher hill, of some distance from our current stand point. i made it to its top:

but we found that the dark clouds were again approaching:

so i have to hurry back:

we escaped to the woods:

where those three performed an amazing act, which they insisted to be kept as top secret:

100_3158

we kept walking. under the afternoon sunlight:

100_3216

we found a tree standing alone:

i was again inspired:

100_3211

so were others. but later i found that some of them were more inspired by the background of the pic above… again we came up with an … idea. i also participated in this top secrecy.

after this final act, we headed back
