By the middle of October, the temperature in the mountains was already below 10 degrees, the ground was always wet, and the morning fog could last until noon, looking like a smoky fairyland.

The fog and moisture made it difficult for Via to go up and down the mountain every day, she had already fallen twice on the way to school, fortunately it was on the soft grass, it didn't hurt, but her butt and knees were muddy, and it wasn't very good-looking. When the villagers saw it, they all smiled kindly.

In this weather, the practical classes once a semester arrived.

The classmates complained, "It's cold and wet, and it's not easy to walk on the mountain." ”

Teacher Heller said, "If you push back the time and it is snowy, do you want to spend the night on the snowy mountains?" Or are you not going to take the credit for the practice class? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone kept their mouths shut.

"Next, I'll go through the precautions, you should remember them."

The location of their practical class this time was a three-day hike on a mountain called Luofeng in the middle of the town of Schwarn and Brienz, which is 1,200 meters above sea level, the mountain is not high, and it has been developed for a long time, and there are special hiking routes, after all, the school still has to ensure the safety of students.

The other students have experience in mountaineering, and this kind of practical class is similar to a spring and autumn outing, they have experienced countless times since they were young, but Wei Ya is the first one. Vanessa also told the rest of her classmates, "I also climbed Luofeng once with my dad last summer. ”

Via raised her hand and asked Teacher Heller, "Can I take a leave of absence?" ”

Teacher Heller looked at her disapprovingly, "This is a group activity, and it is also a compulsory class, I remember you didn't participate in the last grade dance, I think you shouldn't be a misfit girl." ”

As soon as she heard that she was not social, Via stopped talking.

She didn't know what to do about hiking, so she could only ask Thomas quietly after class, "What should I prepare?" ”

Thomas was surprised, "Didn't you have a lab class at your previous school?" ”

"My grandmother was very strict, and many times I couldn't go out."

Thomas gave you a pitiful look, "Actually, there's nothing to prepare, bring a sleeping bag and trekking poles, oh, you need to change into a pair of suitable hiking shoes, you go and ask your cousin, he must have these things." ”

As soon as Via went home and said to Dick, Dick snapped his fingers, "No problem." ”

He dragged out a large hiking bag from under his bed, and all the hiking equipment was included in the sleeping bag, bedding, various ropes, and glove bags.

All Via's missing is a pair of hiking boots, but they are easy to buy in town.

The night before departure, Manina helped her pack her luggage, but no matter how she cleared it, her bag was bulging, "It was very cold on the mountain at night, so I put an extra pair of thick pants and remember to put them on when I got to the top of the mountain," Manina told Via.

Via nodded.

Manina's eyes were worried, "I'm really a little worried. ”

Dick walked in and smiled and said, "As long as you don't leave the group and go it alone, it's okay, and it's not an adventure, it's just a matter of mixed credits," Dick thinks that the practical class is just a reason to go out.

"Can Via compare to you? She's not as physically fit as you," Manina scolded her son.

Dick touched his nose and stopped talking, but secretly winked at Via.

Viya laughed, not at all nervous about tomorrow's trip.

At ten o'clock in the morning of the next day, everyone gathered at the school gate.

Wei Ya carried a heavy bag, she thought that she was carrying a lot of things, but she saw that the bags carried by the others were higher than the top of their heads, and the two male classmates each carried a canvas bag.

The lightest person is probably Vanessa, who only carries a medium-sized leather backpack, has light makeup on her face, wears a yellow jacket on her upper body, leggings on her lower body, and the latest Martin boots on her feet.

And at the request of Manina, Via's whole body was covered tightly, put on a down jacket, and a beanie hat on her head, Manina was too worried that she would catch a cold and get sick, so Via's temperature was now sweating.

Teacher Heller was the leader of the group, and when everyone arrived, they got on the school bus, which took them to the mountain.

Via sat next to Jenny, who also brought a big bag, but it didn't contain much climbing tools, but some food, "According to my previous experience, climbing the mountain is not tired, but it is easy to get hungry, so I brought two bags of bread, and some biscuits, walnuts, oh, and candy"

Via, she thought Jenny was going on a picnic.

The bus travels for less than an hour to reach its destination, the Nakho Pass, which is flanked by two wooden huts for climbers.

They got out of the car, rested for a while, and began to climb the mountain. It is said to be a hiking route, but in fact, the road is primitive and rugged, and it is not at all the same as the mountain road that Via's usual home takes.

At first, Via was able to walk smoothly, but when she reached the place behind her where the rocks were steep and trekking poles were necessary, she began to panting, feeling that the bag on her body was very heavy, and her back was unconsciously bent down by the bag. On the other hand, the other students walked easily, and even Jenny was full of energy, which fully illustrated the importance of physical integrity.

Fortunately, Thomas and Jenny had been walking next to Via, chatting with her to divert her attention, and Jenny asked her, "Look at your movements, have you never climbed a mountain before?" ”

Via nodded, the highest mountain she had climbed in her previous life was still taken by cable car.

Thomas said, "You're really homely,"

Vanessa, who was walking in front, turned around and glanced at Via with disdain, as if to say that she was a wreck.

After passing through this messy area of mountains and rocks, the group of ten finally reached the first resting point, which was a gentle slope with an iron sign next to it that read a number: 300. After climbing for so long, I was so tired that I only climbed three hundred meters, and Via felt Alexander for the next nine hundred meters.

Everyone sat down on the slope and took out the food they had brought with them.

Via brought a sandwich made by Manina, and after exerting extreme physical consumption, the sandwich was simply a delicacy in the world, and she ate it in two bites.

The other students took various selfies with their cameras and mobile phones, and had a lot of fun.

Teacher Heller stood up, clapped his hands, and attracted everyone's attention, "Next, we are going to enter the forest area, the road will be more difficult to walk, everyone must pay attention to their feet, help each other, and never act alone." ”

They only rested for about half an hour before continuing on their way.

Compared with the previous steep mountain and stone road, this section of the road was relatively flat, and Via couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but the sky was getting more and more hazy, and the fog surrounded the entire forest, and it was difficult to see the road ahead, and when she reached the second rest point, Via was also exhausted.

Before dark, they reached the mountains at an altitude of 700 meters above sea level and pitched their tents near a creek. Everyone was very skillful and skilled in camping, and the two male students picked up wood and branches, built a shelf, and lit a fire.

Mr. Heller brought some raw pasta and sauces, as well as an iron pot, which he placed on the fire and quickly prepared dinner for everyone. Everyone sat around the fire, cooking and eating. The taste of the noodles is actually not very good, it can be said that it is difficult to eat, but Wei Ya eats it with relish, she is already too hungry.

After eating, making the bed, it was almost nine o'clock in the evening, Viai went into the tent to sleep, the other classmates were still chatting lively, she lay in her sleeping bag, and in a daze heard the voices from outside, as if it were the voices of Jenny and Thomas, in these voices, she gradually fell asleep

The next day, Via woke up early, she got dressed, opened the tent, and was greeted by a swishing cold wind, and she involuntarily shrunk her neck.

When I walked out of the tent, the other tents were sealed, and the others had not woken up. Via first went to the stream to wash her face, and as soon as her hand reached into the water,

"Shhh

Via saw ice slag floating in the water, floating down from upstream. She looked at the top of the mountain shrouded in thick fog, and there was a hint of unease in her heart.

She complained about her anxiety to Mr. Heller, who was unimpressed, "The temperature at the top of the mountain is lower than below, and it is normal for the water to freeze," he also said to Via, "You are too afraid of the mountains, this is a good opportunity to exercise, as a Swiss, how can you not climb the mountain?" ”

Teacher Heller has said that at this point, if Via's resistance is to be a deserter.

Via sorted out her luggage, hastily ate dry bread and jam for breakfast, and continued to move forward with everyone.

At the heights, the trees became scarce, gradually transitioning from fir trees to dwarf shrubs, and the road became rough and slippery again, and Via walked carefully with each step, slowly falling to the end.

Jenny and Thomas took two steps, stopped and waited for Via, and Jenny begged Teacher Heller, "Mr. Heller, Via can't walk, can you take a break?" ”

As a result, Vanessa sneered, "The person who drags her feet is the most troublesome, and we are not as squeamish as her." ”

Before Jenny could speak, Viya tugged at the hem of her dress, "Forget it, I'm fine." ”

Mr. Heller didn't want to affect the progress of the whole team because of one person, so he didn't say anything.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, they reached an altitude of 1,000 meters, everyone cheered, there were only 200 meters left from the end, they could definitely get there tonight, rest for the night, and they could go down the mountain tomorrow.

They simply decided not to rest and climbed to the top in one go.

However, it didn't take long for the sky to get dark, and it began to snow, and in a short time the top of Via's head, shoulders, and toe of his shoes were covered with a layer of white.

The heavy snow made the visibility drop sharply to zero, and the team had to stop, unable to go up or down, so they had to wait in place for the snow to stop.

Everyone else was shivering with cold, but Via, who was the most afraid of the cold, was the most calm, she wore thick cotton pants that Manina stuffed into her bag in the morning, and buttoned her down jacket tightly, with a scarf around her neck, and a thick woolen hat to protect her ears.

And to be demeanor not temperature Vanessa, her face was bloodless from the cold, her hands were on her shoulders, and she stomped her feet on the spot. Mr. Heller gave her her down jacket.

Via looked at the seemingly endless white, knowing that the snow might not stop so easily.

Other people who have lived here since she was a child understand this fact better than she does.

So, after waiting for an hour, Vanessa, who couldn't stand the cold, couldn't sit still, and she said excitedly,

"I'm going down the mountain."
