Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

After the sun rose higher, the group found a place to sit down and rest. They took out the food they brought with them, sat around on the top of the mountain and ate something to fill their stomachs.

"Brothers and sisters, how are you, have you all rested well?"

Yang Yukun looked at the time. They all reached the summit at 5:45, and it was already 9 o'clock in the morning.

It took more than five hours to climb the mountain, and going down the mountain may not be faster than going up.

It's time to go down the mountain, otherwise we may not be able to get down before dark.

"My buddy is full of life now, hiss... oh my god."

Mao Ditu stood up and jumped, only to feel that his legs were as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and they didn't seem to belong to him anymore.

"How is it, Brother Tu, is it still okay?"

"Since we've come up, there must be no problem going down."

"Brother Xiaowu, Brother Jian, what about you?"

"After resting for so long, I have recovered a lot. Let's go."

"Where are you little guys?"

"Dad, I can walk."

“Uncle Kun, I’m fine too. I can run all the way down now.”

"Wife, Sister Su Meng, Sister Xiao Xing, Xiao Zao, how about you? Have you rested well?"

"Okay, let's go."

"Then let's go down the mountain."

Just after nine o'clock in the morning, the group descended from Yuhuang Peak and walked down the mountain.

Han Chunming, Yang Huajian and Mao Ditu supported each other and moved down.

Su Meng, Meng Xiaoxing and Meng Xiaozao also supported each other and walked down slowly step by step using trekking poles.

Going down the mountain is more painful than going up. My legs are shaking and sore.

"Hiss... it hurts so much."

“Brothers and sisters, are you still climbing Huangshan and Lushan?”

"Climb your ass, next time there's an event like this don't call me buddy."

"Brother Tu, didn't you say you like mountain climbing? You also said you wanted to climb Huangshan and Lushan."

"No more climbing, never again."

"Brother Xiaowu, Brother Jian, what about you two? Are you still climbing?"

"Xiao Kun, don't call me buddy next time during this kind of activity."

"Don't call me buddy. Actually, I don't like climbing mountains. I prefer sitting at home and drinking tea."

"Little Zongzi, Feifei, Mengmeng, Shiwu, Chushi, Xiaowenzi, run slower, don't fall."

When they came up, Yang Yukun and Yang Huajian carried the little guys on their backs for most of the journey. Now the little guys were still running in the front with full energy. Yang Yukun asked them to run slower.

Yang Yukun couldn't help laughing when he saw Han Chunming and his companions, who were in such a miserable state that they cried out every few steps.

He also said that he likes climbing mountains and wants to climb Mount Huangshan and Mount Lushan. Are you still going to climb them?

Xu Jingping said: "Sister Su Meng, Sister Xiao Xing, Xiao Zao, how do you feel?"

"Fortunately."

"My legs hurt, they're sore, and I feel really uncomfortable."

"Sister Jingping, doesn't your leg hurt?"

"I'm fine, Sister Su Meng, Sister Xiao Xing, give me your backpacks and I'll get them for you."

Xu Jingping took the backpacks from Su Meng and Meng Xiaoxing. She was in good physical condition and had rested on the top of the mountain for so long that she didn't feel any pain in her legs.

They walked and stopped along the way until around four o'clock in the afternoon when the group returned to the Taishan branch of Sanqiuye Hotel.

"Oh my god, I'm finally back."

"Brothers and sisters, everyone go back to your rooms, wash up, change into clean clothes, and meet up in the hall in an hour. We'll go have dinner."

"Okay." "Map, here's your treat, you're the last one to reach the top."

"No problem, buddy."

Back at the Taishan branch of Sanqiuye Hotel, the four families returned to their rooms.

Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping brought Xiao Zongzi, Pingping and Xiao Yumi back to the room. Xu Jingping took Xiao Zongzi and Xiao Yumi to wash up first, and then Yang Yukun took Pingping to wash up.

After washing and hanging up the clothes, Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping brought the children to the lobby downstairs.

Little Zongzi said: "Dad, Mom, I'm so tired and want to sleep."

"Eat first, and then come back to sleep after dinner."

"Why haven't Brother Xiaowu and the others come down yet?"

"I gonna go see."

The family of five waited in the lobby for more than twenty minutes, but Han Chunming's family of four, Yang Huajian's family of three, and Mao Ditu's family of four had not come downstairs.

Yang Yukun went upstairs to call Han Chunming and others.

“Knock knock knock…, Brother Xiaowu, Sister Su Meng.”

"Tuk-tuk-tuk..."

"coming."

"Fell asleep?"

After knocking for a long time, the door finally opened. Looking at Han Chunming who looked sleepy, it was obvious that he was asleep.

Han Chunming yawned and said, "I lay down and took a nap for two minutes. I didn't expect that I would fall asleep. Mengmeng and the two children also fell asleep."

"Wake up Sister Su Meng and the two children. I'll go call Brother Jian and Brother Tu. Come back after dinner and sleep. It's not good for your health to sleep on an empty stomach after a long day."

"Okay, I'll call them."

After waking up Han Chunming, Yang Yukun went on to call Yang Huajian's family and Mao Ditu's family.

Like Han Chunming's family, Yang Huajian's family and Mao Ditu's family also fell asleep.

After waking up the three families, Yang Yukun took the yawning families downstairs to reunite with Xu Jingping and the three children.

"I'm so sleepy now that I can't even open my eyes. Don't leave. Let's eat here."

"Okay, after eating, go back to the hotel and sleep."

"so sleepy."

"Xiao Kun, if I don't get up tomorrow morning, don't wake me up. Let me sleep until I wake up naturally."

"Don't worry, I won't call you tomorrow morning."

He also said that we would stay in Tai'an for one day and set off again tomorrow morning.

Looking at the mental state of Han Chunming and the others at this moment, they might not be able to recover in one night. They will probably need to rest for two more days in Tai'an before they can recover.

Tired and sleepy, the group was too lazy to look for other restaurants, so they ordered a table of food at a restaurant not far from Sanqiuye Hotel.

After eating and drinking, the four families returned to the Sanqiuye Hotel again.

Not long after returning to the room, Xu Jingping and the children fell into a deep sleep.

It was not yet six o'clock, and Yang Yukun was not sleepy at all. Looking at his sleeping wife and children, Yang Yukun took his mobile phone and went out to the corridor to call his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Today is Double Ninth Festival. When you are away from home, call your father-in-law and mother-in-law to say hello.

After finishing the call with his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Yang Yukun called Ding Baosong, He Changfu, Wang Aiguo, Peng Jianguo, Peng Tao... and other relatives and friends to chat for a while.

After finishing the call, Yang Yukun looked at the time. It was already past nine o'clock in the evening, so he went back to his room to sleep.

Silent all night.

The next morning, Yang Yukun was woken up by his biological clock on time.

Two hours later, Xu Jingping and the children woke up one after another. Yang Yukun called Feifei and the other little ones, took them to have breakfast, and walked around.

As for Han Chunming and his friends, they slept from 6pm the previous night until 2pm the next day, sleeping for a total of 20 hours. (End of this chapter)
