52 The charm of the forest
In late autumn, the Maoya prairie has disappeared from the green, and the eyes are full of deep or shallow yellow at a glance, and there are small Gesang flowers on the roadside.
A GL8 business vehicle, speeding along the straight road of the grassland, and in a short time, entered the rugged mountainous area.
The car drove on the zigzag road on the mountain, as if hovering among the clouds, and when it reached the pass at the top of the mountain, the commercial vehicle drove into the observation deck and finally stopped.
The door opened, and five or six men and women in their early twenties got out of the car. He Wan'er finally got out of the car, touched the ground, and couldn't wait to stretch his hands and feet, and took a deep breath of the pollution-free air on the plateau.
After lunch, she had been nesting in the last row of the van for three hours, and her legs were almost straight.
GL8's business car, plus the driver, a total of seven people, a full car, even the luggage is almost nowhere to put it.
If it weren't for the recent economic tensions, and if it weren't for the fact that there were few carpools to choose from in November, she could have found a good carpool group instead of traveling with a group of students.
The weather is good, there is no trace of clouds, from the viewing platform at a glance, you can see hundreds of kilometers of mountains and grasslands, at the end of the sky, there is a looming snow-capped mountain top, a trace of snow white, lined with the blue of the sky, even more intoxicating.
Huang Xiaoguo, the girl who was traveling with her, stood beside He Wan'er, wearing a yellow sweater, building a shed above her eyes with her hands, tilting her face slightly, trying her best to open her eyes that were stinged by the bright light.
He Wan'er couldn't help laughing: "Don't you have sunglasses?
Xiaoguo woke up like a dream, and quickly took out sunglasses from her bag and put them on, so that she dared to look up at the sky.
She breathed a sigh of relief: "It's so beautiful, I really didn't expect that just the sky here can be so beautiful." ”
She looked at the sky for a while, and suddenly her feet were a little unstable.
He Guan'er quickly helped her with his eyes, and then he stood firm.
Xiaoguo said a little embarrassedly: "This day, it seems that I will faint after watching it for a long time." ”
"Of course, there are no clouds as a reference, a large area of blue sky, plus the sun is strong, dizziness is normal. He Wan'er replied, "You should be careful not to look at it for a long time, the plateau is not as good as the plain or basin, you must pay attention to your physical condition." ”
Xiaoguo pursed her lips and smiled: "Thank you, Sister He, thanks to you all the way." ”
He Wan'er chatted with Xiaoguo for a while, and then went back to the car.
After she asked the driver to rest at this pass for more than half an hour, she took out her own self-heating hot pot.
The noodle meal at noon was so unpalatable that she didn't even get rid of the smell of the beef, and she thought she couldn't eat it raw, but fortunately she had already prepared to buy a box of self-heating hot pot for emergencies.
The car departed from the capital, leaving the plain and entering the plateau area, this is the third day, she took out this small hot pot for the first time, one to replenish her strength, and the other because the conditions are more difficult because of the higher you go, if you don't eat well, I am afraid that the days after will be more difficult.
Yesterday, the altitude has risen to 3,000 meters, which is the watershed of this altitude, and some people will begin to suffer from altitude sickness, and by the small county town where they will stay tonight, the altitude will reach 3,800 meters.
He Wan'er has been to such a height more than once, and as for altitude sickness, she is not too worried.
Her physique never has any serious high reactions, at most she has a little headache, not even the most common chest tightness and light sleep.
Instead, she worries about the few people in her class.
For example, the girl Xiaoguo just now, from a coastal city, has just entered her senior year, and has never been to the plateau.
The rest of the two women and two men in the same car, one of whom was Xiaoguo's college classmate, also came from a low-altitude area, and both studied in the south, so they lacked understanding of the environment of the plateau and greatly underestimated the harsh environment here.
The two boys were in a group with another female student named Soho, and after a few days, He Guaner also knew that the three of them met on the Internet, as if they were playing the same online game before.
He Guaner herself will never meet with any netizens, she thinks that the social foundation based on a little connection on the Internet is too weak, not enough for her to know enough about this person to trust, so she will not be as hasty as Soho and their invite, even meet the invitation of netizens, on a whim across the altitude of 3,000 meters, to go to an environmental tourism that has never been experienced.
Forget it, the most important thing is that the two boys did not do enough to inform Soho of the geography and climate.
So, the three girls in the same company only wore single clothes and pants, and the thickest clothes were windbreakers.
The most exaggerated is Soho, which has a limited capacity, stuffed a big teddy bear in its backpack, not to mention, and the remaining half is filled with dozens of lipsticks, which is like a trip to the plateau as an island tour, and the ignorance is terrifying.
Thinking of this, He Wan'er had a headache, could such a collapsed team really realize their plan when carpooling and go hiking in the Nine Whiskers Sea?
She was worried for a while, the hot pot was ready.
He Wan'er sat on the stone table next to the railing, tore open the chopsticks and ate it.
After eating a small half, she found that Xiaoguo leaned over silently.
"Can you give me a box of this little hot pot?" Xiao Guo looked at it with a blank eye, and licked her lips involuntarily, obviously she hadn't eaten anything delicious for a few days, and she was already hungry.
I don't know what's going on, He Wan'er remembered Xiao Lei who has been charging for her in the past few days.
That girl will be so greedy.
Xiao Lei will report to her on WeChat every day, and naturally she will complain about Nie Yun's team.
Among them, the thorny boy named Wang Xianzhi is said to have quickly entered the role of charging into battle for the character to act as a clown, Xiao Lei's complaints about him have risen to resentment, and he must curse fiercely every day.
"Can you eat spicy?" He Wan'er asked, and after getting Xiaoguo's affirmative answer, he returned to the car and took out a box from the food box and handed it to her, "Give me twenty yuan." ”
Xiaoguo was stunned, hurriedly took it, transferred money to her through WeChat, and happily went back to the car to get water.
He Wan'er smiled and continued to eat her small hot pot, the strong spicy aroma filled her taste buds, she exhaled comfortably, and the slight boredom and worry before suddenly disappeared.
After eating the small hot pot, there was still some time before departure, He Guaner took out his camera and took pictures of the mountains in the distance.
Unexpectedly, there was trouble to find the door.
Soho came over and asked with a long face: "What, your self-heating hot pot, can you sell us three boxes? ”
He Wan'er frowned.
Soho is small and cute, and in terms of food and clothing, his family background seems to be very good.
This time I participated in the carpool with her, and she was full of superiority at any time, and said several times that if she didn't want to play with her friends, she wouldn't take any business car, which was crowded and smelled bad.
The other two boys in the same car happened to be her so-called good friends in the game, and one of them, surnamed Li, seemed to be chasing her, so he naturally obeyed this goddess Su.
Xiaoguo has a good temper, her female classmate happens to be a fellow countryman with Soho, and she is familiar enough for three days, so everyone accommodates Soho and lets her sit in the most spacious co-pilot.
Unlike He Wan'er, who knew that he was an outsider, he consciously ran to the last row of nests in a low-key manner.
It's just a car trip, and He Wan'er doesn't care about the mess between them, but compared to Xiaoguo and another girl who doesn't have a sense of existence, He Guan'er hasn't liked Soho very much.
Let's not talk about her tone of not even begging for help, let's just say that after three days of companionship, she didn't even call He Wan'er's name well, which shows that she is a spoiled and impolite bear child.
However, except for He Yixiao, she He Waner will never get used to other over-age bear children.
He Wan'er simply rejected her: "I'm sorry, I don't have much left." ”
Soho felt that it was rare for him to pull down his face and beg for someone, but he was refused.
She pricked up her eyes and spoke impulsively: "It's not a good thing, what's so great!"
"It's really not a good thing, even if the so-called self-heating small hot pot can warm you up for a while, it can't withstand the sub-zero temperature at night. If you are afraid of the cold, it is more practical to buy a few warm clothes in the county seat at night. ”
Of course, He Wan'er would not quarrel with her, and replied calmly.
Soho snorted heavily, turned his head and went away angrily.
In the cool breeze of the plateau, He Guaner walked slowly along the observation deck, took a lot of photos, and saw that he was about to drive before approaching the parking lot.
However, before he got into the car, he heard the angry voice of Soho in the car.
"What is she, and she's here to teach me a lesson? I haven't been angry like this since I was a child!"
"Sister He is a native of Gyeongju, she can say whatever she thinks in her heart, and there is no malicious ......"
This is the voice of Xiaoguo's low persuasion.
He Wan'er sighed, turned around and went to the bathroom, avoiding showing up when others said bad things about her.
She won't be embarrassed, but she's afraid that Xiaoguo will be uncomfortable.
He Wan'er turned around and returned to the car, and a carload of people was already sitting and waiting for her to leave.
"Why is it so slow?" Soho rolled her eyes, apparently angry.
He Waner was silent, got into the car and drilled towards the back row, and when he turned around, the camera bag on his body accidentally touched the legs of the girls in the front row.
He Wan'er hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I bumped you." ”
The girl couldn't help but complain: "If the luggage is too big, put it in the back of the car and carry it with you, I don't know what kind of great baby it is." ”
Xiaoguo pressed her hand, wanting to calm things down.
He Wan'er pretended not to hear, and the cat bent to the end, put the camera bag at his feet, and pressed it firmly with his calf, which made him feel steady.
This is the medium telephoto lens that she saved up for a long time to buy, and it was a full 60,000 yuan including the camera, which was naturally her treasure, but she was reluctant to throw it into the back of the car and bump into a bunch of luggage.
After four or five hours of driving, He Waner basically slept in the back seat for an afternoon, and finally arrived at Hongting County in the evening.
At an altitude of three thousand eight, as soon as she got out of the car, she felt a chill on her face.
Calculated by a temperature drop of six degrees per kilometer, Hongting County is already 18 degrees lower than the starting point of this trip.
She quietly glanced at the few people who were traveling with her, and sure enough, except for the driver of the thick leather jacket, the others were freezing to their feet.
The group stayed in a hostel, where the ladies had a six-person room, a man plus a driver, and a few young men riding in a room.
He Wan'er put away his luggage, put the jacket he wore during the day into the inner tank, took out the down vest and folded it to the minimum, and put it in the small backpack he carried.
