Saying goodbye to Jin Sanpang at the airport and embarking on our respective journeys, the four of us flew from the capital to Kunming for a transfer flight, and then to Kathmandu in Nepal It took more than five hours.

Then hop on a plane to Lukla Airport, which is famous as many people who choose to hike Mount Everest do so from the town of Lukla.

Since 1921, adventurous people all over the world have taken pride in conquering the world's highest peak.

They are ready to die at any time, brave the cold and strong winds, and fight against the lack of oxygen and all kinds of sudden accidents.

In the end, some people overcome themselves, and some people stay on the mountain forever, weathered into bone signposts, sounding the alarm for those who come after them.

When I arrived in Lukla, I learned that due to a serious mountain disaster on Mount Everest in April, many local guides were killed, and the mountaineering festival on the first line of Nepal was canceled!

Without a climbing permit, we will have a lot of trouble, and after a full day's rest, we will go to Tibet and climb Mount Everest again.

After some bumpy rides, we finally arrived at the Everest base camp and rented our own tent.

Hua Zeng is the only 'weak' presence in the four-person team, and he has a bad reaction to the high-altitude environment.

But fortunately, it is not serious enough to need to go to the hospital or be bedridden, the owner of the rental tent is very enthusiastic, and the tent is burning cow dung, which is quite warm for the time being.

Not all visitors here want to reach the top, and some stay overnight and leave.

We didn't really come to climb the mountain, and we weren't interested in conquering the peaks.

We can't stop the enthusiasm of the 'neighbors', and the five members of a mountaineering club live next door to us.

When I saw that the four of us were staying next to them, I ran over and chatted every ten minutes, and pushed out according to the 'diplomat' I had appointed.

She and the leader of the team stood in the doorway and chattered for half an hour, and finally she didn't know what she said. The leader burst into laughter after a brief silence and yelled into the tent, 'I wish you happiness'!

When it was time to go back to the tent, I asked her what she had told them.

She told me with an innocent look on her face that she told her that we were two newlyweds who had come for their honeymoon.

Crazy couple honeymoon trip to climb Mount Everest, unfortunately both died!

Immediately, a large slogan crossed my head......

However, her explanation was more in line with the situation of the four of us, and many of the campers in the camp were professional mountaineers, and insiders could tell at a glance that we were laymen.

There must be a reasonable reason for the four rookies to choose the world's highest peak to play for their lives, and her reason for being crazy about love is barely justified!

"Do you have a low profile in your high profile?"

"I'm not lying, I'm just bringing the honeymoon forward."

Helpless for her righteousness. Avoid gossip. I'm down to business:

"Don't make a mistake with your map, we'll count on it."

He waved at me like a mosquito, meaning to make me worry. You can't go wrong with the accuracy.

The camp at an altitude of 5,000 meters has a wide view and magnificent scenery, but that is in the eyes of adventurers.

I just think that the search range is too large, how can a temporary change of route have no effect on the search for the war harp!

People who used to look very reliable have changed too much. Can you continue to trust her abilities?

"Even if you don't worry about me, you should know that I won't risk my life."

"Good, good. Believe in you once. ”

When the two of us were chatting, Sanjiu had already cooked food, Hua Zeng's symptoms had been relieved by taking medicine, and he was fed some liquid food.

It was the peak winter tourist season on Mount Everest. Climbers and tourists can be seen everywhere, and large and small vehicles are parked outside the tented guesthouse.

It took a short time to find out how many groups were on the same route as us, and it would be a hassle to get rid of them halfway.

There are a total of 16 routes to climb Mount Everest. We chose the West Shoulder to Canyon route, which was pioneered by Canadians in 1986.

She made it solo to the top, and we weren't aiming for the top. So the difficulty will be a little less than hers.

The new route is more difficult for the average climber, and the possibility of choosing is small, what we need is to get rid of the crowd of tourists and find the secret path according to the explanation.

Judging from the map, this route is very close to Mount Everest in Nepal, but how to go depends on Yi's 'unique secret map'.

We chose a good weather to start climbing, Hua Zeng's high anti-symptoms have basically been overcome, and his adaptability is stronger than I thought.

The five-member team next door took a different route than we chose, and they were very sorry when they parted.

After saying goodbye to each other, the four of us set out on the journey, the wind in the mountains was strong, and the higher the altitude, the more severe it became.

The route under her feet is a relatively gentle one, and after nearly four hours of trekking, she finally took out her 'route map' and compared it with the field.

Of course, this is my description, in fact she took out a jade pendant, walked for a while, and then lifted it into the air, and let it hang on the rope and be blown by the wind.

Carrying a heavy mountaineering bag to climb the mountain in the case of extreme lack of oxygen, every breath is painful, if it is not for our special physique, running here without exercise and warm-up is definitely self-defeating!

"Take it easy, don't let the wind blow it away." When I stopped to rest, I reminded Yi, who was still fiddling with the jade pendant.

"How can it, this is our signpost, we must not lose it." Yi put away the jade pendant, took the water handed to her by Hua Zeng and took a sip.

"It's shaking so badly, can it find its way?" Hua Zeng hadn't spoken much because of the plateau reflection, and now he couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

"What are you afraid of, it's not a compass, it's mainly about listening to the strength of the sound." Yi explained.

"The wind has drowned out the sound of our speech, are you sure you can hear it?" I said out loud.

"Yes, don't worry!" Ibbi reassured with an OK gesture.

Other climbers rushed to the summit in one go, and we went further and further in the middle of the route.

A few hours had passed, and we had long since strayed from our route and walked onto an unpaved wilderness road.

Holding her jade pendant, she walked in one direction with a focused expression, the bare ridge covered with snow shells, and the next road became more and more difficult.

There are only majestic snow-capped mountains and blue skies around, and there is a vast white expanse under your feet, and the wind that never stops blows people to walk an inch.

The jade pendant finally made a tinkling sound in the strong wind, and now we all heard it clearly.

Yi excitedly stood at the bottom of a mountain rock and shouted, "Here it is!" ”

At this time, we were still far from the summit, and the mountain where Yi was standing was covered by thick snow, and she used her pickaxe to knock off the snow shell, but it was clear that she alone was not enough.

The three of us immediately stepped up to help, and the crisp sound of the jade pendant remained constant until a regular round rock was revealed, and its sound became louder. (To be continued.) )
