Chapter 145: Snow Wolf Dog
There are not many people who are willing to climb the snow mountain at this time, even if there is such an attractive thing as pure white jadeite, but very few people are willing to take risks for it, Wang Chengyuan finally only found three partners who are willing to go along, and when he heard that Yun Li intended to join the team, he naturally agreed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Without further ado, they quickly finalized their itinerary and are now on their way to the mountain.
As Wang Chengyuan said, this snow-capped mountain is not said to be able to cope with good physical strength, every section of the road, every step, and even every breath is a doorway in it, if the regulation is not good, no matter how abundant you are, it will only be wasted in the place where there is no practical effect, and you can't go far in the vast snow-capped mountains, so experience is particularly important, all mountaineering experts are tempered step by step one by one mountain.
Although Yunli had no experience in climbing the snow mountain before, but for him with electromagnetic power, this road was not very difficult, and he was more calm after mastering certain skills, his only worry was that as the altitude increased, the lack of oxygen would become more and more obvious, even if there was an electromagnetic force body, it would not be able to withstand the lack of oxygen for a long time, although they all carried oxygen bags with them, but if they wanted to use it, it would definitely have a great impact on their actions.
Half an hour later, they successfully arrived at a supply point on the road to the middle of the mountain, said to be a supply point, in fact, it is a few simple wooden houses, which can give climbers a rest, temporarily shelter from the wind and snow, there are some cold equipment, oxygen bags and emergency medicines, and nothing else, but after walking for half a day, it is very good to have a place to cover your head and rest, everyone went into one of the wooden houses, and found some dry firewood to raise a fire in the stove to keep warm.
It's lunch time, the two guides take out the noodles from their backpacks to cook for everyone to eat, now the air pressure at this altitude is not too low, the boiling water temperature can still be used to cook noodles, and a little higher, it is estimated that the noodles will not be cooked in the low pressure environment, and they do not carry a pressure cooker with them, so they can only eat canned dry food.
"Brother Yuan, I still remember that year when we climbed Mount Everest with the team, and finally lost the battle at a place close to seven thousand meters, everyone's interest was not high, but you were still in the mood to make a fire, and took out two eggs from your backpack to boil, in a popular phrase at the moment, my friends and I were stunned." Everyone gathered around the fire, one of them, a middle-aged man in his mid-fifties, recalled.
This middle-aged man is a friend of Wang Chengyuan, the oldest in the team, and his figure is a little fat, but he is very strong, called Qi Shi, a Burmese Chinese, who does jadeite and jade business, and this time he also came to look for pure white jadeite. Qi Shi grew up in Myanmar since he was a child, Mandarin was learned as an adult, and he didn't learn it very well, his intonation and pronunciation were very strange, which made people sound unbearable, but it didn't affect communication, he was very talkative, and there would be no cold scene where he was.
"My wife likes to eat hot spring eggs, it was almost her birthday, my daughter wanted to make a hot spring egg for her birthday gift, but I couldn't do it well, I told my daughter before I left home, wait for my father to come home and give you a unique hot spring egg in the world, where the air pressure is just right, the water can only burn to about 70 degrees, it is suitable to make hot spring eggs, and now I think about it is really quite alternative." Wang Chengyuan explained with a smile, his face was also full of reminiscence.
"Haha, I didn't expect you to do such a romantic thing, Mr. Wang, boiling hot spring eggs on Mount Everest at an altitude of 7,000 meters, I'm afraid only you can do it in the world, this achievement is no less than climbing Mount Everest."
"Exactly, you also have to learn from Mr. Wang, and you have to put more thought into the next birthday gift for me!"
The other two people in the team also said casually, these two people are a man and a woman, in their early thirties, they are a couple, and they are also avid mountaineering enthusiasts, and their occupations also have something to do with this, running a shop for outdoor sports equipment, and everyone buys all these equipment in their store.
The man's name is Wang Dongcheng, his body is medium and well-proportioned, very streamlined, his skin is dark, and he is very good at all kinds of outdoor activities, he is a professional in this area, and his girlfriend's name is Cai Qi, with small short hair, full of personality, although the appearance is ordinary, but he looks good when he smiles, and he is also a lover of outdoor sports, and the two have a good relationship with Wang Chengyuan.
"What is the final result, has our Miss Wang learned to make hot spring eggs?" Hearing Wang Chengyuan's past, Yunli couldn't help but ask curiously.
Wang Chengyuan shook his head and sighed with a smile: "When I get home, she has already forgotten about the hot spring eggs and is obsessed with makeup and dressing up. ”
Yun Li expected that this would be the result, and he couldn't help but smile, Qi Shi also said after hearing it: "I haven't seen that girl in your family for a long time, I guess she has grown into a big girl now, wait for me to go back and pick a piece of jade to give her, I sure it can be set off beautifully." ”
Hearing that Qi Shi was going to send jadeite, Wang Dongcheng and Cai Qi were both shocked, and Cai Qi couldn't hide her envy and said: "The jade sent by Boss Qi will definitely not be an ordinary product, and our Miss Wang is blessed." ”
"Haha, since Brother Qi has spoken, I will thank you for the little girl, your Qi family's jadeite is all produced in the high-grade tunnels in the northwest of Myanmar, and they are all high-end routes, and almost every batch of finished products has not been processed, and they have been ordered out first, which can be described as a stone hard to find." Qi Shi wanted to send jade, but Wang Chengyuan was not polite to him, and said politely with a smile.
Yunli only knew that this Qi stone was in the jadeite business, but he didn't know that their Qi family's reputation was so big, and he also had a certain understanding of jadeite.
In ancient times, people found the preciousness of this jade, but the Burmese people did not know how to process it, so they transported the jadeite ore to the southwest, and the craftsmen in the southwest region made finished products, and then sold all over the world.
The Qi family has been doing jadeite business for many years, their ancestors are jadeite craftsmen, when they moved to Myanmar to settle down due to the war, Qi Shi has been dealing with jadeite since childhood, is a big expert in this area, this time I heard that Meili Snow Mountain has pure white jadeite production, which is rare, so he accepted Wang Chengyuan's invitation to come to explore, he also has considerable expectations for this mountaineering journey.
During the conversation, the guide had already cooked the noodles, and put some homemade sauerkraut into it, and suddenly the wooden house was full of sour taste, so that everyone's appetite fingers moved, one of the guides took out disposable dishes and chopsticks, scooped up the noodles and distributed them to everyone, and he kept a bowl for himself but did not eat it, but took out the biscuits by himself, and ate them with hot water.
It's a simple food to be able to eat hot noodles in this icy and snowy place, but after adding sauerkraut, the sour taste is irresistible, especially the sour taste can activate the nerves, which is a good refreshment, and it is perfect for this environment.
The two guides invited by Wang Chengyuan are two brothers, surnamed Yang, everyone calls the eldest brother Lao Yang, Lao Yang is in his forties, short and capable, due to the long-term access to the snow mountain, there are a lot of chilblains on the face, and it looks red from a distance, but it is a little scary to look closely. He is a very good local guide, and he knows the Meili Snow Mountain very well, and many teams entering the mountain want to ask him to be a guide, and if it is in other months, it is not possible to ask him to help.
As for the other guide, who is also his younger brother, everyone calls him mute, because he can't speak, he can only babble in his mouth, he is in his thirties, shorter than Lao Yang, with a baby face, people who don't know still think that it is a naughty child who broke into the mountains to play, maybe because of the communication barrier, and his personality is very shy.
The one who gave everyone noodles just now was the dumb, and he asked for the bowl of noodles for the snow wolf dog he raised, and their team, to be precise, was seven people plus one, and every time he entered the mountain, the dumb man would take it with him, and one person and one dog were inseparable.
The snow wolf dog is a unique creature in the snow-capped mountains of this plateau, the appearance is like a wolf, but the character is a dog, very humane, many mountain people want to raise a watch to see the home, or go into the mountains to lead the way, but the number of snow wolf dogs is not much, and there are fewer that can be tamed. The dumb man is not very big, with white hair all over his body, only a few gray patches on his head and neck, a pointed and long face, and straight ears, which looks very different from ordinary domestic dogs.
It stands to reason that it must be a big risk to bring a companion who can't speak into the mountain, because the situation in the mountain is changeable, not to mention that this is a high-altitude snow-capped mountain, many times you need to communicate and cooperate by shouting, if the information is transmitted incorrectly, it is likely to be in danger or even lose contact, there have been many such cases in the past.
But the local people know that the mute knows more about the Meili Snow Mountain than his eldest brother, and the snow wolf dog he domesticated is very psychic, can reach places that many people can't go, and is an excellent pathfinder partner, and the dumb man has a bamboo whistle around his neck, which can blow different tones to do simple communication, which can be heard clearly from a hundred meters away, sometimes more effective than shouting, and he can also communicate with the snow wolf dog through this whistle, so that it can do many things that cannot be done by manpower.
The brothers plus this snow wolf dog, can be regarded as the most reliable individual guide group here in Meili Snow Mountain, Wang Chengyuan also through personal connections, only to find their brothers to help, although their team is not large, but most of them are people with unique skills, so ordinary people dare not enter the depths of the snow mountain at this time, but they have the courage and self-confidence.
"Dumb, this dog is really spiritual, when a dog cub is born, call me then, and I will pick one back to raise." Qi Shi said to the mute, a bowl of sauerkraut noodles could not satisfy his appetite, he then took out a pack of beef jerky to eat, saw that the snow wolf dog also finished eating the noodles, lying on the ground and wagging his tail, bright eyes looked around, he ripped off a piece of beef jerky and beckoned it to come and eat, but the snow wolf dog did not come immediately, but turned his head to look at the master, waiting for his permission.
