Cold, desolate, empty, sparsely populated, and unmatched with prosperity.

Here, there is a big difference from the imagination: gray barren mountains, dirt roads full of sand and gravel, gray and yellow shrubs, scattered on the hillside, two or three storey buildings crawling along the hillside, all made of stones of different sizes, smeared with white ash on the outside, the white ash has fallen off, revealing mottled colors, giving people a sense of historical vicissitudes.

After crossing a potholed dirt road between two hillsides, the buggy pulled out of its suckling strength before gasping for breath and climbing up a hill where houses were crowded and lined up.

Stop the car, finally found a hostel, said to be a hostel, in fact, is a simple yard, there are a few yellow bungalows, a national flag hung in front of the house, blown by the wind to hula, the facilities inside are extremely simple, no bathroom, no washroom, no wardrobe, against the wall is a large shop, the quilt may not have been washed for more than ten years, hard like a big bluestone slab. The boss is a Tibetan guy, and his smile is always sunny and a little shy.

The sky on the plateau, from the afterglow of the sunset to the black clouds pressing down on the city, is as dark as the night, that is, in the blink of an eye.

Dark snow clouds drifted in from the western sky, and the sky quickly darkened. In the dim light, the extremely tired two drank some hot water, ate some instant noodles, and lay down on the huge bed, falling asleep in the cold.

The next morning, the cold highland breeze blowing in through the rusty windows woke the two of them from their sleep.

Although the conditions were very poor, Lin Feng still couldn't hide his excitement, his mission was about to be completed, and he would soon be able to return home.

"What are your plans to go back?" Feng Sheng looked at Lin Feng with a smile on his face, and asked casually while getting dressed.

"A lot of things, such as going to the snowy mountains with friends, then hunting, and accompanying my girlfriend to go shopping, shopping, and having a drink with a few friends. Lin Feng's eyebrows danced, and his hands danced, as if there was wine, meat and beautiful women in front of him.

"After eating, shall we leave for Zhangmu Port?" Lin Feng asked.

"Yes, it's okay to send me to the vicinity of Zhangmu, and I'll go to 'Laika Valley' by myself. ”

"Finally liberated, the pressure is instantly reduced, haha. ”

Fengsheng looked at Lin Feng with admiration, patted him lightly on the shoulder and said "thank you".

Walking out of this so-called hostel, the two strolled through the so-called county seat. The houses here are all built along the hillside, mostly squared, and of course there are also two- or three-story small buildings, which seem to be rare, but due to the wind and sand, they are all discouraged, like people who have not washed their faces for a long time after a long journey.

"Are you going to climb the summit too? We can go to the Everest base camp in front of us together. A young man in a purple puffer jacket and a red down hat ran over and asked with a grin.

"No, we're not going. The wind replied.

"Oh, it's the first time I've come across someone who doesn't want to climb Mount Everest. The young man left with a regretful face, carrying a large army-green backpack and wearing the sunglasses in his hand.

Seeing the young man's backpack, the wind also seemed to be inspired, and it was time for him to prepare some items.

Just then, after turning a corner, a shop appeared in front of me, hanging a red sign with the words "Dengfeng Store" on it, and two dark-faced men in white Tibetan robes stood at the door, they were discussing something, their expressions were excited, and their hands kept gesturing.

The two of them walked past the man who was talking loudly, pushed open the wooden door with a thick curtain hanging from the door, and entered the store.

A little girl dressed like a cat and bear, standing in front of the cash register, was puffing into the palm of her hand, her nose was red, like a carrot, she saw someone walk in, hurriedly stood up straight, lowered her arms, and looked at the door.

The shops are filled with a dizzying array of goods, almost all of which are for climbing Mount Everest, from small sewing needles to large camping tents.

With Lin Feng's participation, the wind sounded selected: flint and steel, folding knife, thin cow belt, water bottle, down vest, travel shoes, mini shovel, fine hemp rope and bionic rubber.

"Bionic rubber?" Lin Feng asked puzzled.

"Yes, it will be useful then. The wind replied.

In the end, Feng Sheng also bought some rhodiola, Lin Feng took a look at it, and said: "It seems that you know the plateau very well, rhodiola is also known as the Nine Dead Soul Grass, and it is very effective to overcome altitude sickness." ”

After the things were purchased, the two walked out of the store, and the two men who were arguing raised their voices, pointing to the sky and the ground for a while, their faces were red, as if they had drunk two taels.

After inquiring, they finally found a restaurant, a Sichuan-style restaurant, and a spicy heat was rushing out of it, like approaching a cauldron full of hot chili peppers.

"There are two!" a shout came into the ears.
