Chapter 340: The Second Goal Point
Taking advantage of the snow, we reached the top of the mountain that night. However, I was tired enough to choke, so I ate some self-heating food that I brought, and went into the tent to rest, and no one could enjoy the sumptuous dinner I imagined.
The white horse chicken that Cornell hit should have landed under the ravine, and perhaps could not be found on the roundabout down the mountain. However, this branch of the white horse chicken is lightweight, only a few hundred grams, flying slightly higher than other types, and there is not much meat on the body, even if it is picked up, it is not enough for one person to eat.
There was a light rain at night, although it was very small, and there was no sound when it fell on the tent, but this was not a good phenomenon, if the weather temperature warmed up too quickly, the snow in the deep mountains would melt quickly, and at that time danger could be seen everywhere, even Li Qingyun was not sure that he would survive without any injuries.
After dawn, everyone set off in the misty fog and rain, the rain was not heavy, but as far as the eye could see, there was a chaotic color, and the mountains in the distance could only see a faint gray shadow.
The ground was even worse than expected, and Li Qingyun had already begun to bend down and hold on to the stones with his hands, slowly passing the dangerous narrow road down the mountain. The only ones who weren't affected were gold and copper, and the two guys peed behind the boulders on the mountainside from time to time, announcing that they had taken up a new territory.
"Damn, this mountain road is too difficult to walk, should we find a place to rest?" The first person who couldn't hold it and began to complain was actually Cornell.
Cornell wiped the annoying mist from his face and kicked a small rock under his feet so hard that he nearly hit the gold coin. The gold coin roared at him twice, and the copper coin glared at him fiercely. Their eyes were full of hostility, but they were appeased by Li Qingyun, now was not the time to make a move.
"Mr. guide, it's almost lunchtime now, should you find a quiet place for everyone to rest?" Charlie, the team leader, glanced at the situation of his team members, and felt that they were all tired, so he asked Li Qingyun.
"I'm sorry, I'm a guide, not God, and I can't make the rugged mountain road gentle. I want to take a break. Just find a rock and sit on it. If you want to set up camp and sleep in a tent, find a way at the foot of the mountain. Li Qingyun said in a somewhat cold tone.
Charlie had a headache and intuitively thought that the guide must have a solution. But they were in a group. I have already offended this guide. Threatened him to be a guide again. At this point, I felt regret, and it was already a little late.
Everyone had no choice but to find a place to rely on. Sit on your own backpack. At this time, the raindrops began to increase, hitting the face, cold and painful, and when I looked closely, it actually rained a little freezing, and the raindrops were like small pearls.
This mountain road, facing the wind, the cold wind hit, and the people whose clothes were wet shivered and wanted to die. Knowing that the temperature would drop suddenly, they would definitely wear portable raincoats, but because everyone was afraid of affecting the safety of going down the mountain, they all wanted to save trouble, so they didn't wear portable raincoats to prevent rain. At this time, the clothes were wet, and the cold wind was blowing, so I knew that I was in trouble.
As soon as the self-heating can in his hand began to heat up, it was taken away by the cold wind, and it quickly recovered from the cold. At the end of the meal, you can even see a snow-white freezing rain, gathering on the greasy place on the low of the can.
Li Qingyun was no exception, eating self-heating rice, and when the meal was cold halfway through, he gave the rest of the food to the dog. I drank tea made from boiling water that I had stored somewhere, and waited for the second box of self-heating rice to heat up.
The tea leaves in Li Qingyun's cup are very fragrant, and Cornell, who prides himself on his noble status, doesn't know what kind of tea it is. Charlie's status is also very high, he has traveled to various countries, he has seen a lot, and he also likes the tea ceremony of various countries, but this strange tea fragrance is also the first time he smells it.
"Oh, dear Mr. Guide, what kind of tea are you drinking, and how come I have never smelled a scent?" Charlie's tone was a little eager, with a hint of flattery.
"Hehe, Shanye coarse tea, it's not famous, Mr. Charlie hasn't seen it, and it's normal. Li Qingyun said, covered the cup, and began to eat the second box of self-heating rice.
Charlie saw that Li Qingyun didn't want to say it, he really didn't have the face to ask for the tea in this cup, after all, it was Li Qingyun's special cup. He smacked his lips a few times, shrugged his shoulders regretfully, then turned around and glared at Peter fiercely, it was this guy who brought food to eat, destroying the foundation of friendship and unity. If it weren't for that, I would have been able to ask for a piece of apple brought by Li Qingyun yesterday to taste, and today I would have been able to ask for a little fragrant tea to taste.
Peter sneezed, only to notice Charlie glaring at him. He shrunk his neck a little weakly, and even regretted it more than Charlie, it was he who called Li Qingyun to inform him and asked Li Qingyun to prepare a qiē by himself. When he encounters something delicious, others can still ask, but he has no face to ask, or even to look at it.
Another veteran expert in his fifties also began to sneeze and gather leftover food waste in a black garbage bag. The garbage generated by the expedition is buried if it can be buried, and the area that cannot be buried is collected in a bag, pressed with stones, and waited for a way to deal with it later, so as not to let it spread lightly.
Although the group is not very concerned about the local protected animals, their love for the environment is impeccable. Li Qingyun had also finished eating, tied up the garbage that had been gathered, pressed it under a big stone, and prepared to put it into a small space and take it to the bottom of the mountain for disposal when no one was around.
Now wearing a portable raincoat, it is useless, just so miserable in the freezing rain down the mountain, almost to the bottom of the mountain, a thin layer of ice under the stones under the feet is formed, no matter how slippery shoes are not good, an expert broke his head, wrapped in bandages, and blood oozed out.
Culomb was such a big man, every time he fell, he was miserable, this time he rolled straight down, rolled more than 20 meters, and fell into the bushes on the edge of the cliff, only then did he get lucky and escaped.
"Hell, this damn shit mountain road is the worst place I've ever seen, it's almost at the bottom of the mountain, why is it still frozen?" Coulomb was frightened, and sat down on the edge of the wet stone, his hands clutching the corner of the stone, unwilling to let go.
"There may have been snow at the top of the mountain, we have only crossed a mountain now, the mountain road inside is more complicated, and it is still too late to return. Once deep in the mountains, it is difficult to return. Li Qingyun felt the snow chips blowing in the cold wind, and he couldn't tell whether it was just coming down or blowing from the top of the mountain.
However, as soon as the mountain road turns, you can see the scenery at the foot of the mountain, this is the last bend of the mountain road, but it is very fatal, and it almost ends up a big man.
"Damn, it's almost time to get to the next target, so I'm not going back. Cullen cursed with a sigh of relief.
"Shut up, Coulomb. Cornell coldly reprimanded, and Coulomb obediently got up, not daring to complain any more.
At the foot of the mountain, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the experts who had poor bodies had already collapsed on the ground. Charlie took out the satellite locator and the real satellite map, and after comparing it, his eyes showed excitement, pointed to the left front of the valley, and said: "That's right, it's probably in this direction, there should be a real solar meteorite there, but this damn satellite photo is not clear, but I am sure that it will never exceed two thousand meters, because I have seen the reference objects on these two peaks." ”
Cornell didn't let Culomb talk nonsense just now, but now Charlie, the team leader, was too happy to say it himself. Li Qingyun suddenly realized, no wonder this group of people had such an urgent desire to enter the mountain, it turned out that they had the strength to call up satellite photos, and they also found that there was a solar meteorite near the town.
Li Qingyun took a lot of ground photos at that time, and he could calculate the approximate landing point through the guò geometric formula and the reference coordinates of the meteorite that had been found. However, the range is too square, and the deviation can even reach tens of kilometers. Compared to satellite photos, it's a world of difference.
The last time the military operated, Chu Yang revealed some information, and it was also located through satellite photos, but after looking for a month or two, he found the small meteorite. At that time, it was easy to find, but the mountains were full of poisonous snakes and poisonous insects, and in the end, the blockade was lifted because the cost was too great.
Li Qingyun didn't know the clarity of the satellite photos in Charlie's hand, and whether there were obvious close-up references, but even if there were references, it would take great luck to find them.
The direction Charlie pointed to, Li Qingyun felt that it was enough, it was not a route developed by hunters, it might be a barren mountain that no one had set foot in. Other seasons have dangers in other seasons, and there are ways to overcome poisonous snakes and poisonous insects, but now that there is a vast white snow, Li Qingyun does not dare to step into it lightly.
A few monkeys were fetching water by the valley stream, and when they saw the human appear, they were not very afraid, but when they saw the shotgun that the expert showed when he took out his backpack, they immediately screamed, jumped and crawled, and fled to the dense forest on the opposite bank.
It was cold, but the stream was fast and there was no freezing. Only near the bank of the river is a narrow layer of thin ice. A flock of unknown wild birds, fluttering their wings, flew up from the dead grass by the creek and disappeared into the dense forest on the opposite bank.
Where there is water, there are animals. Seeing the fleeing monkeys and wild birds, the old expert, who was sneezing incessantly and was too tired to get up, pulled out his shotgun in his backpack.
While there was still some light, they were ready to hunt their prey. Because the food brought in the backpack alone is definitely not enough for them to survive here for more than ten days, or even more than twenty days. If they don't hunt some wild animals, they don't have the courage to go into the mountains at this time.
A few muntjacs, making strange barks like dogs, poked their heads out of the woods on the other side, their brown and yellow fine hairs standing out among the snow-covered mountains. The big ears are grayish-white, and the male has two small short horns, much like a pocket-shaped deer, with a body length of only about one meter and a height of about half a meter.
Li Qingyun went into the mountains several times in the summer, but he didn't see them, and he only heard their cries at night. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the mountain in winter, he would meet a few muntjacs, and if there were not a few gringos around him, he would definitely hunt one to try first, but with these foreign experts, he had to remind these poor herbivores to run away and not give them any chance to replenish their food.
Cornell raised his shotgun and exclaimed excitedly, "I'm going to hunt on the other side of the creek, follow me if you're interested, and camp up for a tent if you don't want to go." Our dinner was certainly rich. (To be continued......)
