The old house is now lively.

Seven adults, two children.

Li Tiedan and Xue Shugen are also guests, so Aunt Zhang has been warmly beckoning them to eat more.

But this made the two northern men very embarrassed, and they always looked restless.

After staying in the army for a long time, they are indeed a little uncomfortable with this exclusive taste of life.

So after a hasty dinner, the two of them ran into the courtyard as if they were fleeing, and then one of them stood by one side, and the pestle was like a javelin.

The little guy took the spoon and glanced at their backs, and then asked with some confusion: "Baba, my uncle's belly is so big, why do you eat less than me?"

These childish words immediately made everyone present laugh.

The guards have the responsibility of guards, Li Tiedan and Xue Shugen have a task to do, and they are not here for vacation, so they don't need Chen Xi's orders at all, they take the initiative to fulfill their responsibilities.

Standing guard is also one of the tasks.

The old house had four rooms, and it was just as full as the two of them came.

When she went to bed at night, Aunt Zhang was worried that it would be uncomfortable for the two men to squeeze into a small bed of 1.5 meters, so she wanted to change rooms with them, but was rejected by the two of them.

Although this bed is only one meter and a half wide, it is very comfortable by Aunt Zhang, and it is even more comfortable to lie on than their bed in the barracks.

Moreover, the two of them do not rest at the same time.

Because they have done a good job in the division of labor on duty, Li Tiedan is on duty in the first half of the night, and Xue Shugen is on duty in the second half of the night.

I really didn't let up for a moment.

As for whether Chen Xi needs protection or not, it is not a question for them to consider......

Early the next morning.

Aunt Zhang discussed with Chen Xi that it was time to go back to Rongcheng.

The conflict with the ruffians is one of them, mainly because Xie Pinglin and Cai Shuqin should go to work in two days.

After all, the Spring Festival has long passed, and the couple's unit has started relatively late, and now it is time to prepare to return to life.

The little guy's rural experience was quite pleasant, but when she heard that her grandmother said that she was going back to Rongcheng, she immediately jumped up excitedly, looking at the posture, it seemed that she didn't want to stay here for a moment.

Children, I'm more interested in the big cities.

Seeing this, Chen Xi called the driver and asked him to drive from the county town to pick everyone up.

And when leaving, there was a small episode.

Because GL8 can only seat seven people, but now Chen Xi's family plus Li Tiedan and Xue Shugen are a total of nine people.

So Li Tiedan had to let the driver get out of the car, and he sat in the driver's seat.

The driver couldn't resist him, so in the end he could only honestly charter a van with Xue Shugen.

……

There were no words along the way.

By the time the group returned to Rongcheng, the time had already come to two o'clock in the afternoon.

The atmosphere of the Spring Festival has completely disappeared, and Rongcheng, a new generation of first-tier cities, has also returned to its former prosperity.

After the family brought home the large bags of souvenirs brought from the countryside, they discussed going to Jinli to shop.

Jinli is opposite, and the little guy didn't go in to play twice for various reasons, so this time he can finally go and have a good time.

However, just as everyone walked out of the house and stood on the side of the road waiting to cross the street, Chen Xi's phone suddenly rang.

The caller was Qin Yuqing.

Chen Xi answered the phone, and as soon as he fed it, the sister-in-law on the other end of the phone went straight to the point and said, "There is something I need your help with." ”

Hearing this, Chen Xi couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

He just asked Wulian for a favor, how long has it been since Wulian wanted him to return this favor?

"You say. ”

"There was a vision of heaven and earth in Karakoram, and like the Taklamakan Desert, a large oasis suddenly appeared......

"Karakoram?

Chen Xi was stunned when he heard this word.

Now he has the ability to remember, so I'm sure he's never heard of the word before.

"On the border, next to the Himalayas. ”

Subsequently, Qin Yuqing told Chen Xi in detail about the matter.

The Himalayas don't need to be introduced, because Mount Everest stands there.

The Karakoram mountain range is located next to the Himalayas, which is also home to the highest concentration of glaciers in the world, making it known as the most dangerous place in the world.

And the little-known second highest peak in the world, Chogori Peak, is actually here.

At 8,611 meters above sea level, Chogori is only more than 200 meters lower than Mount Everest, but its limelight has been overshadowed by Everest.

In fact, in terms of climbing difficulty, Chogori is the most difficult mountain in the world to climb, and it is the only independent mountain that has not been successfully climbed by a human winter so far.

A simple description, but behind it are the corpses of countless climbers left on Chogori Peak......

Why has no one ever been able to winter climb here?

A big reason for this is that the Himalayas themselves are easier to climb than the Karakoram.

In fact, there is not much difference in altitude between the two mountain ranges, but it was not until 1954 that people successfully entered and returned to the Karakoram for the first time.

The terrain is steep, with peaks mostly steep and steep, covered with snow-capped peaks and huge glaciers.

Not to mention climbing Chogori Peak, as long as you step into the Karakoram Mountains, wherever the altitude exceeds 5,000 meters, the mortality rate is as high as 30%.

Isn't that intimidating enough?

The fame is not large, but the mortality rate is extremely high, and over time, Chogori Peak and the Karakoram Mountains are naturally not well known to ordinary people.

Why did Wulian want to ask Chen Xi for help?

It's not because it's not a place where humans can live at all.

Turning a desert into an oasis is nonsense enough in itself, but now even the snow-capped mountains that have not melted for 10,000 years have suddenly appeared in large oases.

This kind of special event, which is completely inconsistent with the laws of nature, naturally attracts the attention of the whole world.

Just like an alien invasion of Earth, if you catch a few aliens, maybe you can get some benefits from it?

Therefore, as soon as the Wulian received the news, it had already begun to prepare, and it was bound to go to the area to find out.

Although the sister-in-law didn't say it explicitly, after Chen Xi pondered it, he immediately figured out the key, so he directly pointed out the real reason why the Wulian asked him to make a move.

"In other words, now that this place has become the focus of the world, if I go, there is a good chance that I will meet people from other countries in that place?"

"It should be, but they shouldn't be as fast as we ......."

After listening, Chen Xi stood on the side of the road and pondered carefully.

To go, or not to go?
