422. Sherpas
"Are these lamas? The clothes are so beautiful......
A few people ordered something, and then went to the rooftop on the second floor above, below this store is the shop to buy things, and the seats are above, in the open air, can bask in the sun, just what they want.
At this time, there were already a lot of people on it, everyone was drinking tea and eating cakes, and there were some locals here, and only Li Zimu was a foreign tourist.
The crimson robe, called the lama costume here, wears a high hat on his head, similar to that of a Spartan warrior, but the crown on it is also red.
Lama means monk in Tibetan, these people are locals, and they are also local monks, speaking fluent Tibetan, and when they saw Li Zimu and a few outsiders coming up, they didn't show any unusual expressions.
I just glanced at it and went back to talking about myself.
Li Zimu can still understand what they are talking about, it is all trivial things, such as the upcoming Saga Dawa Festival, and they are going to fast again.
Pudding chose a more close to the barricade, from here you can see the street outside, and then behind the grassland and mountains, I have to say, the benefits of thin air are still many, at least the line of sight is clear, you can see far, far away.
Li Zimu's attention was not on the distant scenery, nor on the young lamas, but on the two people at the table next to him.
"These two people shouldn't be Tibetans, but they look so burly......"
Chi Ling looked at the two people at the table next to her and whispered, she also noticed these two people, wearing thin lamp grass velvet clothes, and she could clearly see the bulging muscle lines under the clothes.
Even if he sits, he is a head taller than the average person, he is a little older, he should be in his forties, and his face has many furrows and folds, and he looks very attractive.
The main reason why Chi Ling said that these two people were outsiders was because they were speaking something different from those local lamas at the table next to them, and they couldn't hear what they meant, and their pronunciation was very strange, and it didn't have anything to do with Mandarin and English......
"Sherpas," Li Zimu said lightly, and he remembered for a while before he finally remembered this famous people and their language.
He had known a Sherpa before, and he spoke in much the same pronunciation as this one, and it took him a long time to remember it because he had had very little contact.
Li Zimu could understand some of the meaning of their speech, but some of them didn't understand very well, and after a long time, the pronunciation changed slightly, and he was a little unsure, but it was certain that these two people were Sherpas.
"Where are the Sherpas?Is there such a nation among our famous people?" Zhuge Yinglong said curiously, and it was the first time he had heard this term.
Among the 56 famous ethnic groups in China, it seems that none of them are called Sherpas, so these two people are still foreigners?
"Yes, there are, but only a few of them have moved from Nepal and are classified as Tibetans. ”
Li Zimu nodded and said, the Sherpas were originally a famous ethnic group in Nepal, but now there seem to be a lot of Sherpas in China, such as these two people now, they should be the Sherpas who live in Xizang.
When the two of them heard the three words of Sherpa, they turned their heads to look at Li Zimu's table, and then turned their heads lightly to talk about their own affairs.
They should know that Zhuge Yinglong is discussing them, but they don't care, the people of the Sherpa clan have this arrogance in them, and they have this qualification.
For those who often go to Everest, they should have heard of the word Sherpa to a greater or lesser extent.
That's right, this group of people is the famous people who live at the foot of Mount Everest.
This people are somewhat peculiar, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are backward, because they do not have their own script, but they have their own language.
Every Sherpa has a higher hemoglobin content in their blood than ordinary people, because this famous ethnic group has lived at the foot of Mount Everest for generations, so they have good physique, strong resistance to hypoxia, and bear hardships and stand hard work.
This characteristic also corresponds to the fact that every Sherpa is a good climber, they have lived at the foot of Mount Everest since childhood, and they know more about Everest than anyone else.
According to legend, the Everest Yeti was discovered by them, and only they have seen it, and since the last century, this peculiar family has gradually appeared in people's sight.
Almost every team that climbs Mount Everest, they have one or several Sherpas in their team, which means that without Sherpas, if you want to climb Mount Everest, the difficulty coefficient will be greatly increased, and to put it bluntly, without Sherpas, it is almost impossible to climb Mount Everest.
At the cost of their lives, they set the "three bests": the largest number of successful climbers of Mount Everest, the largest number of people who climbed Mount Everest without oxygen, and the largest number of people killed on Mount Everest......
The Sherpas' abilities correspond to their profession, that is, Everest guides, and if they want to climb Mount Everest, climbers basically can't do without Sherpas as guides. The Everest Road, which is difficult to get to the blue sky, is more like a "road to work" for many Sherpas.
Thousands of Sherpas carry equipment, build metal ladders and camps for their customers on snow-capped mountains filled with crevasses and ice towers, and erect safety ropes up to 7,000~8,000 meters...... They risked their lives to work, and against the backdrop of the huge snow-capped mountains, they looked like a small black dot like ants.
However, the difficult work also means a good reward, in China, if you want to climb Mount Everest, you must hire a Sherpa as a guide, and the salary you need to pay is as high as 400,000 Chinese dollars.
It sounds like a very good profession, after all, it only takes less than a week to earn 400,000 Huaxia coins, and anyone who listens to it will be a profession that will be red-eyed.
But only those who have climbed Mount Everest know that this is the reward that Sherpas deserve, and they give their lives to help climbers fulfill their dreams.
Every time they run an order, it is equivalent to shaking around outside the ghost gate, and they don't know if they have a chance to run the next order.
Known as the mountaineer's nanny, they carry heavy luggage, build passages, and walk in front of the road to detect safety.
Exceptional professionalism and sacrificing one's life at crucial moments have led climbers around the world to consider Sherpas as their most reliable companions in alpine expeditions.
This group of guardians of Mount Everest deserves to be admired by anyone.
