Chapter 271: Encountering an avalanche
It is said that mountaineering is a mirror, which can infinitely magnify the weakness of human nature, but why not the soul? The unwillingness and regret before death make it endlessly wander on the snow-capped mountain, hindering those travelers who meet them. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
This is what people who climb Mount Everest often say, climbing to the top is not the final success, the real success is that you can go down the mountain safely, how many people are on the way back to pursue their dreams......
Uncle Li put away the compass at this time, then took out a yellow paper talisman from his body, lit it with a machine and threw it in the air, and then muttered a few words in his mouth and said to us, "They are all poor people, I believe that they initially just hoped that someone could bring their bodies down the mountain, but when this hope was disappointed again and again, the resentment in their hearts became bigger and bigger, and finally it became what it is now." ”
"I hope Song Bo didn't encounter these ......things," Huo Changlin said to himself.
At this time, the snow began to fall heavier and heavier, and the wind felt like a knife cutting on my face. Dorjee suggested that we should go down, and the road will only get harder and harder to go down like this.
In the end, Huo Changlin decided to go down the mountain, and he said that he was very satisfied that he could come here to find his brother.
The road back is not easy, and you must always watch out for your feet, for fear that you will roll down the mountain if you step on the air. Dorjee told us that the road conditions are not much now, and that they used to take people from Nepal to climb Mount Everest, and there is a famous Khumbu glacier on that route.
The level of horror is definitely not what ordinary people can imagine, most of the guides there are Sherpas, who walk on the Himalayas as guides and porters all year round, but even so, many Sherpas die on the Khumbu Glacier every year, which can fully explain the horror of this Khumbu Glacier......
I was glad to hear this, I didn't have to challenge such a terrifying glacier, but when I thought of our purpose, my heart was cold, and I didn't know what happened to this Huo Changsong here back then!
At this time, the wind is blowing stronger and stronger, and it is already difficult to see clearly at a distance of less than five meters in front of us, and I am afraid that it will be more dangerous to go on like this. So Dorjee proposed that we should find a sheltered place to rest first, and then continue walking down when the wind is lighter.
A few of us naturally listen to the guide, after all, Dorjee is the most vocal of these people now. But he didn't expect Huo Changlin to disagree, he was worried that the wind and snow would not know when it would stop, and if we rashly rested in place, it was very likely that we would freeze to death here......
Just when a few of us were arguing about whether to go or stay, we suddenly felt a rumbling sound overhead, Dorjee looked up, and his face changed greatly, "It's not good, there's an avalanche up there!"
As soon as I heard it, I was stunned, an avalanche?! Just when I was in a trance, I felt the earth trembling, but fortunately, Ding Yi next to me pushed me and said, "Run, don't be stunned!"
I came back to my senses, followed Dorjee's footsteps and kept running diagonally to a high place, and I didn't have time to think about any headaches, dizziness, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and ran diagonally upwards with my hands and feet, almost holding my breath to follow them, for fear that one would accidentally let myself fall.
But one thing that always reassures me is that Ding Yi has actually been running behind me all the time, and I know that he will not let me run last.
Then we heard a train coming towards us overhead, and we moved quickly to the other side of the hill, and when we looked back, we saw that the snow that was sloping down the mountain was like a white torrent, drowning everything in its path.
Although my lungs are about to vomit out when I run now, I am still scared in my heart, thinking about whether I should run farther to be safe? Dorjee glanced at the high place in the distance, and the snow on it seemed to have stabilized, but he still didn't dare to rush over to check.
"Now...... What now......? The road is gone!" I said breathlessly.
Uncle Li was also scared, and said again and again that everyone was running fast. However, Dorjee said that it was not that we were running fast, and that the avalanche had almost exhausted its power to us, and that he was most worried about Song Bo's group now, who should be in the center of the avalanche.
At this time, Ding Yi suddenly walked quickly into the tons of snow, as if he was looking for something. I whispered nervously to him, "Come back, it's still dangerous......"
Ding Yi didn't pay attention to me, just quickly rummaged in the snow, and suddenly, his hand seemed to have caught something in the snow, and then pulled hard, and it turned out to be a backpack.
When we opened the backpack, we found some documents and a few oxygen tanks inside. When I saw the photo on the ID, I was immediately stunned! If I remember correctly, the owner of this backpack should be Song Bo and his group.
Everyone was silent immediately, and it seemed that they were unfortunately said by Dorjee, and Song Bo and their team directly encountered an avalanche......
Huo Changlin grabbed the snow on the ground and took a bite, then gasped and said to us, "I think we should go and save them, most of the people killed in the avalanche were buried in the snow and finally suffocated to death, the golden rescue time for these people is only 20 minutes, and it will definitely be too late to save people when they come down the mountain, and now we are the only ones closest to them......"
Dorjee agreed with him, and just looked at me worriedly. I immediately patted my chest and said, "I'm fine, didn't you see that I was just running as fast as a rabbit?"
When Dorjee heard me say this, he was rarely amused by me, "Okay, in this case, let's hurry up, I guess they shouldn't be too far away from us! The road just now will definitely not be able to be walked, everyone follows me, I will take everyone to walk a small road, although it is difficult to walk, but it will greatly shorten the distance." ”
The road is as difficult as Dorjee said, not only narrow but also steep, and if you are not careful, you may slip and roll down. For everyone's safety, Dorjee connected us one by one with climbing ropes. But even so, we can only slide up.
Fortunately, the road was not long, and soon we climbed to the high ground above, and as we were panting and looking around, I noticed that there was something like a hat in front of us......
