Red maple in the depths of Daba Mountain

The rotation of seasons has its own rules, with spring heading north and autumn heading south. When the cold wind blows in Puyang, Longcheng on the bank of the Yellow River, the leaves are frozen, and the footsteps of autumn have just crossed the Qinling Mountains, all the way across the Hanshui River and reached the Daba Mountain area.

The earliest experience of autumn is the alpine grassland on the main vein of Daba Mountain. Influenced by the previous autumn winds and autumn rains, they changed from green to golden yellow, as if they were dressed in yellow robes overnight and sat on the top of the bus, looking like an emperor.

With the deepening of autumn, the colors of some high-altitude forest vegetation have also changed. Birch trees turn yellow first. This kind of high-latitude tree can only grow in the high-altitude mountainous area of Daba Mountain. Perhaps because of the survival of the fittest, the birch trees in Daba Mountain area are different from those in the north. Its trunk is not white, but brown and red At this time, the slender birch tree, except for the green leaves, has a reddish brown trunk. Under the breeze, the branches and leaves are swaying, very lovely, as if they were a group of beautiful and dignified girls in red. Since ancient times, people have used birch bark to write love letters. It must be a beautiful love poem to write love stories with red birch bark.

I entered the Daba Mountain area in 2006 to participate in the construction of Puguang gas field, and it has been nine years now. Every autumn, under the autumn wind, I watch the deciduous trees and shrubs in Yanghou Mountain turn from green to yellow, and the trees such as Liquidambar formosana and Pentagonal Maple magically turn into fire-like colors, yellow and green interweave, red and yellow set each other off, and the forest is dyed. It is out of this love and affection for Daba Mountain that every autumn, I will go deep into Daba Mountain to pursue that unique beauty and find a spiritual garden for wandering souls.

It is often rainy and foggy in autumn and winter in Puguang area, and it is rare to see the sun. 165438+1October 19, the dark clouds in the sky cracked a gap, and a ray of long-lost sunshine passed through the clouds and fell on the continuous peaks of Daba Mountain. This is a rare good weather. I asked several companions to enjoy the beautiful scenery in autumn on the route from the purification plant of Puguang Gas Field Line 4 to Maoba Gas Gathering Area. In recent years, in order to appreciate the beautiful autumn scenery of Daba Mountain, I have been to Guangwu Mountain, Batai Mountain, China Kanggu and other places. Puguang Gas Field Line 4 was chosen because it is along Houhe River, with high altitude, dense vegetation and rich tree species. Not only can you enjoy the colorful forests, but if you are lucky, you can also see the sea of clouds in Daba Mountain.

After crossing the Chenjiaba Bridge and the Yakou Tunnel, the colors in the mountains began to enrich. The Houhe River is like a green ribbon, winding through the ravine on the bus. On the opposite side of the mountain, fog and haze gather and disperse, surrounded by white clouds. Pine and cypress still keep dark green, Cyclobalanopsis glauca leaves are golden, and some unknown trees are like burning flame clouds, which are rich in color and beautiful and breathtaking.

"Look, there are some red maple trees!" Looking in the direction of the companion's fingers, several flaming maple trees are close to each other, tall and straight, like a row of Puguang gas field employees in red overalls, emitting dazzling light and full of youthful vitality.

I picked up the camera and kept pressing the shutter to record the beautiful scenery of Daba Mountain.

Liu Jiquan, director of peer production office, participated in the whole process of Maoba block construction and knew the local terrain like the back of his hand. He said aside, "There are many red maples here, and there will be more ahead. You can take a good picture. "

His voice did not fall, and his companion pointed to the distance and said, "Look, there are still some trees over there!" " "

Yes, there are several red spots in the ravine in the distance, like several red maple trees. A few people looked intently for a while, only to find that the red dots were moving. When Red approached, we saw several line patrol workers, holding bamboo poles and wearing safety monitoring products, walking on the rugged and winding mountain road with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

My heart suddenly felt a strange touch. In the depths of Dabashan and Puguang gas fields, hundreds of oilfield workers are active every day. They are as persistent as red maple trees, rooted in the barren land of Daba Mountain, and beautiful the scenery in their own unique way from spring to autumn and from summer to winter. They are unknown and have no regrets. Once the conditions are ripe, they will glow with colorful life with bright colors like red maple trees.

So, I began to admire and admire the red maple deep in Daba Mountain from the bottom of my heart. ...
