Chapter 146: Determining the Route
The dumb man stretched out his finger and nodded to the snow wolf dog, it roared happily, wagged its tail and put Qi Shi's beef jerky in its mouth, returned to the dumb man and enjoyed it slowly, the dumb man smoothed its hair, and compared it with Lao Yang a few times, Lao Yang came to his senses and said to Qi Shi:
The dumb man said that his snow wolf dog bloodline is not pure, and if Boss Qi wants a good one, he has to go to the Tibetan area, and some herdsmen have pure snow wolf puppies, which are better looking than him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Listening to Lao Yang's words, Qi Shi waved his hand and said: "Whether it looks good or not is secondary, spirituality is the most important thing, I think you are very spiritual, it seems to understand what we say, and it also understands the rules, so people like it when they look at it." ā
Hearing Qi Shi's words of praise, the snow wolf dog seemed to really understand, turned his head and wagked his tail and barked at him twice, which made Qi Shi laugh even more, after it finished eating beef jerky, Yun Li beckoned to it, the snow wolf dog ran over without thinking about it, Yun Li put the biscuit in his hand to its mouth, but the snow wolf dog did not look back at the dumb this time, and directly ate the biscuit, and rubbed Yun Li's hand affectionately, which surprised everyone very much.
"Brother Yunli, what method did you use to make the snow wolf dog so obedient, does it love biscuits more than beef jerky?" Seeing this scene, Qi Shi was also quite confused, and opened his voice to Yun Li for an explanation.
"Except for the dumb man and me, this snow wolf dog usually doesn't eat the food given by other people, does this little brother have any secret to dog training?" Lao Yang also asked in unison.
Yun Li tickled the snow wolf dog and replied: "Cheats, it may be that my tickling skills are not bad, you see how it enjoys, it looks like it has just come out of the bathing center, and its whole body is comfortable." ā
After listening to Yunli's explanation, everyone laughed, under Yunli's teasing, the snow wolf dog was indeed very comfortable, Cai Qi even joked that this snow wolf dog was in love with Yunli's handsome guy, and when they came down the mountain, maybe they would throw themselves into their arms and follow Yunli home directly, so that the dumb man looked at it. But the dumb man didn't care much, although he couldn't speak, he understood everyone's meaning, and gave Yunli a thumbs up to show his admiration.
The reason why the snow wolf dog is so friendly to Yunli, the main reason is that the breath on Yunli's body makes it feel very happy, and it will get close to the past unconsciously, tickling is also one of the reasons, Yunli releases a light bird to tickle it, the snow wolf dog has no resistance to this, and in the mountains for these two days, as soon as it is free, it will entangle Yunli, and ask him to tickle like a coquettish, every time it can get its wish, and live quite happily.
Yun Li is also very fond of this snow wolf dog, and Qi Shi has the same plan, I want to raise one in the manor in the future, even if it doesn't play the role of a caretaker, but it is also a pleasure to be able to tease, but he has never had any pets since he was a child, if he really wants to raise a snow wolf dog, he has to think about it.
After resting, they continued on their way, arriving at the next supply point, the last one on the trail, before dark, and there was no fixed route to follow, and they had to replan their next trip.
Walking in the vast snow-capped mountains is a very lonely thing, even if there are people walking in front of and behind you, but most of the time, everyone is moving forward silently, hearing not the sound of whistling wind and snow, or their own breathing and heartbeat, what can appear in the mind is the most ordinary picture on weekdays, compared with today's situation, the frequent switching between the virtual and the real of the familiar and the unfamiliar, is a huge test of will.
Yunli is no exception, sometimes he really wants to call back to the manor to ask about the situation, or call Aunt Fang or Lily to talk to him, but this can only be an extravagant hope, there is no signal in the snow mountain, and in the bad environment of low temperature, even many electronic instruments will fail and be damaged, so they left their mobile phones at the foot of the mountain, and only brought emergency lighting tools and compass disks, Lao Yang has a satellite phone there, but it can only contact a few emergency departments under the mountain, which is the most important tool for calling for help.
The afternoon trip was not smooth, not long after the departure, they encountered rain and snow, the rain and the road was slippery, which greatly affected the speed, and encountered a small area of avalanche on the way, blocking the original road, allowing them to go around a long circle, and finally rushed to the last supply point in the dark.
After settling down, everyone went to make some tent sleeping bags, Lao Yang and the dumb man continued to make a fire to cook noodles, and at dinner, everyone gathered around the fire, eating noodles while discussing tomorrow's itinerary, from then on, there was no clear route, which also meant that the next trip, the risk will be greatly increased, and everyone had to plan carefully.
Wang Chengyuan spread out the topographic map of Meili Snow Mountain on the ground, pointed to the location they are now and said: "Our current location is here, an altitude of 4,500 meters, and there is an altitude of 1,000 meters from the destination Shuangling Valley, and we don't know the specific location, from the news, we can only confirm that it is in this area." As he spoke, he tipped his finger to a mountainous area to the northwest of the map.
Everyone has seen this map before, and they also have a certain understanding of the surrounding terrain, Qi Shi was the first to express his opinion: "In my opinion, we can continue to go north, climb this main peak, and then go around to the west, but this will miss the area of the valley in the south, this area is within the scope of exploration, and the jade may be in it, and this route will be farther in the distance, and it will take a little more foot effort." ā
"But if you take the road to the western valley, there are too many mountains to cross, and it is easy to encounter avalanches, so it is not a good choice to look at it."
"And it just rained and snowed in the afternoon, I'm afraid that there will be too much snow melt here, and there will be no place to put my feet, and it will be troublesome enough to turn back when the time comes." Wang Dongcheng expressed his opinion, and Cai Qi also voiced his concerns.
The analysis of the three of them was very reasonable, so Wang Chengyuan turned his eyes to Brother Lao Yang and asked, "According to your experience, Lao Yang, which side should we go on more securely?" ā
Lao Yang put down the noodle bowl and replied: "If it is safe, take the route that the boss said, I also don't recommend taking the valley in the west, the risk is too great, and this is an unexplored area, so we should not set foot in it." ā
It seems that everyone's opinions are inclined to go north, there are only two roads, there are not too many choices, Yunli knows that Wang Chengyuan wants to save time, but he must take everyone's opinions into account, and Yunli has no opinion, which one everyone chooses, he will follow which, his goal is the wild plum blossom, as long as the action is close to his goal.
"Let's go north first, but it's not the main peak, and here we turn to the west, and there is a glacier here, and we can follow the river to the foot of this snowy ridge on the right, which is already close to our destination, and then we will go through this valley and search from south to north, and we can come back from the north on the way back." Wang Chengyuan pondered for a while before explaining his ideal route to everyone.
"It's a compromise that saves you a lot of time and doesn't miss out on the area to the south, what do you think?" Qi Shi agrees with this plan.
"We have no opinion, let's follow Mr. Wang's plan." Cai Qi also agreed, Wang Dongcheng's meaning was naturally the same as her, and even Yunli nodded to indicate that it was feasible.
Seeing that everyone had reached a consensus, Lao Yang didn't make any suggestions, and said: "Then let's decide, I'll inform the mountain of our walking route later, everyone is tired today, let's rest early." ā
After agreeing on the itinerary, everyone went to rest, and in the afternoon they were really tired, Yunli didn't feel too tired, and he wasn't used to going to bed so early, so he went out of the wooden house, planning to find a place to practice outside for a while, although the environment here is not as good as the manor, but the cultivation of this matter can not be left behind.
After the rain and snow, the night sky is very clear, and the moonlight tonight is also very good, with the help of the reflection of ice and snow scattered to every corner, even without special induction, Yunli can see the road ahead.
In addition to the snow, there are sparse forests, mountains and rocks around, very desolate, Yun Li walked around and didn't find a suitable place to cultivate, he wanted to go home, but just as he was about to take a step, his spiritual sense found that there were two figures walking towards him, and he subconsciously hid in a big tree behind him.
Before the figure arrived, Yun Li knew the identity of the two, it was Wang Dongcheng and Cai Qi, they didn't seem to be here to stroll and talk, one of them was holding a compass, the other was holding a latitude and longitude instrument, and they seemed to be measuring something, and they didn't see the two of them take these two things out during the day, and why do you have to do this kind of thing at night, which can arouse Yun Li's interest.
The two didn't notice the existence of a third person, and continued their work without saying a word in between, Yun Li couldn't understand what they were doing, and after following for a while, they still didn't find anything, so they returned to the wooden house in advance, without alarming anyone, and went back to their tent to rest.
Not long after, Wang Dongcheng and Cai Qi also tiptoed back to the wooden house, and the two still didn't say a word and went to rest directly.
Early the next morning, Lao Yang cooked noodles for everyone for breakfast as usual, and boiled a pot of hot water, so that everyone could fill up the water bottles, and then there was no supply point to rest, everyone was ready, and continued to move north according to the route agreed last night.
Their team is based on Wang Chengyuan as the core, not because he is rich and the boss of a large group, but because his mountaineering experience is no less than that of the old Yang brothers, and his thinking is clear and his judgment is good, which makes everyone very convinced, just like when discussing the itinerary last night, if he didn't lead the overall situation, everyone must not be able to reach an agreement so quickly.
Although the Lao Yang brothers are guides, it should be up to them to decide on things like planning routes, but when they meet capable employers like Wang Chengyuan, they usually have their own ideas and will not act according to the established route, so it is good for them to assist from the side, as long as they don't get involved in danger or do something beyond their ability, not to mention that the guide fee paid by Wang Chengyuan to them is not cheap.
