Ch'en Yi Shangche, just behind the cab, then the train backing one side of the cling compartment; dow seeing this, it also corresponds to the other side to hold fast to the car. Slightly hectares, the car started to accelerate, my eyes stared into the abyss under the Pentium yellow dragon, especially in the narrow roads and turning of the Department, the feeling of person who hung in the air; helpless, only single glance straight down the opposite of the Yulong Snow Mountain cliffs, so that my imagination is a long-winged birds, while contemplating the event of roll-over, full of cars pouring sand down, I will ┄ ┄, minds badly in general, strike strike strike, since the came, and he Go, An Zhe of little handed meet by chance on life, never met, the mountains, and may not be the driver of the hands of a driver's license bar!

30, the morning we went to the next tiger jump, because last night under the light rain, mountain is very difficult of access. We invited the villagers to do a wizard, he took great care of us along the way. 80 degrees along the cliff walk, you will truly understand the definition of fear, there are three landslides due to rain and there is simply no way to cushion the wizard way to move big stones, but it still points to go up and sliding down, there is fear of small high-scared of heights do not want to go crying the last almost Bazhe wizard past.

Along the lake path, arvagh drive took us to tour along the scenery. Asked him last night flies what? He said: "You This medicine is not, I usually have to three times, Chile Yao, only one should sleep." Wen Yan, we guffaw. In a shore, we rented a "Zhu Caochuan", his rowing lake, clear water like a mirror, a long underwater plants such as the dancers as a slight shaking of the stature; Teana seems like a quiet time immemorial to plague the lake, but we just strayed into which the sound issued inadvertently.

Ava smiled: "That is enough affectionately Well." Then arvagh to us about taking the process of marriage: young men and women each have a favorable impression, you can make an appointment at his sister's house to Assia. To be the first man over the wall after dark walking into Assia marriage room, the door can not walk. If the door put a pair of shoes, they illustrate the guests, inconvenient. Otherwise, you can go straight into the. The next day early in the morning to leave, so that their families can not meet by accident. Go after the marriage, the woman's pregnancy, childbirth, and the relationship was unclear. Man can be openly accessible Assia home. But without love of the contact can also be terminated. By a woman raising a child. Men have a responsibility and obligation to raise and educate their children inside the family, that his uncle for these purposes. I asked Ava: "Do you go there a legitimate object of playing?" Arvagh thought for a moment, said: "could no longer remember." Wow, the presence of men are no better envy.
