Chapter 109: A Journey to Japan (5)
Diamond snow, also known as diamond dust. In scientific terms, it is called the phenomenon of ice fog, which refers to the fact that the water vapor in the low-altitude atmosphere directly condenses into tiny ice crystals and floats in the air at low temperatures, which are difficult to see with the naked eye, but under the reflection of sunlight, it will emit a diamond-like dazzling brilliance.
Of course, the prerequisites for the formation of this natural phenomenon are also very harsh, one is the air humidity is large, the second is the air temperature is low, and the third is the obvious temperature difference between morning and evening.
Many people try their luck at the lowest temperatures of the day before dawn, when diamond dust ice crystals are relatively large and appear the most, and after a few magical seconds as the sun rises, the ice crystals are quickly vaporized.
The brilliance of the diamond snow is only a few seconds, like fireworks.
"Did you know that diamond snow is rare in Akita Prefecture, and the last time I heard about seeing diamond snow was several years ago? Although I grew up in Akita Prefecture, I have never seen diamond snow. Legend has it that as long as the two watch the diamond snow together, they will become happy lovers I don't know if it's true! Nozomi Sasaki said deliciously, Diamond Snow was extremely tempting to her.
Park Shiyun smiled and said, "Then it is really possible that someone said that the couple who took the Ferris wheel would eventually break up, and this prophecy has been verified in me!" ”
"Let's try our luck and leave tomorrow morning at 4 o'clock to go to the mountains and see if we can meet the second diamond snow!" Nozomi Sasaki said excitedly.
Park Shiyun said: "How lucky you must be, you yourself said, the last diamond snow was several years ago." The next diamond snow may be years away. How can it happen twice in a row. The odds are too small! ”
"Why don't you try it, maybe it's really possible? I said that there was only one diamond snow a few years ago, so it is possible that there have been several times in the past few years without anyone seeing it, after all, it is only for a few seconds, and it is normal that no one sees it! "Nozomi Sasaki doesn't give up, you must try your luck.
Every girl longs for a sweet and long-lasting love in her heart, and a beautiful girl like Nozomi Sasaki is no exception. But this kind of love, no matter how lucky people are, rarely encounters it. Everyone can only hold a trace of longing and expectation. Just like Nozomi Sasaki now, even if the probability of diamond snow happening is small, because someone has managed to see it, she wants to give it a try.
Park Shiyun said: "Okay, I'm afraid of you, let's get up early tomorrow and try our luck on the mountain!" However, before that, do we have to buy some equipment, just your few clothes, not warm at all. I'm afraid you'll be frozen into popsicles before you even see it! ”
"It's okay, I'll go to the mall and buy it later!" Nozomi Sasaki said with a wistful face. "I wish time passed a little faster"
Park Shiyun smiled and shook his head. In the morning, Nozomi Sasaki rents a car in the hot spring village. Drove Park Shi-yoon to the mall to buy clothes. After shopping for clothes and returning to the resort, after a lunch break, Nozomi Sasaki took Park Shiyun out of the hot spring village on foot.
Snow-capped Akita Prefecture is exceptionally tranquil and soothing. Park Shi-yoon and Nozomi Sasaki walked slowly by the river, and after a while, they played snowball fights and built snowmen, as if they were back in their childhood, and they were full of fun. The surface of the lake freezes over, creating a natural skating rink on which many people skate with their feet on skates, adding a lively touch of life to the tranquil Akita.
The night came very early, and by 5 p.m. the sky was getting darker. The two played snowball fights, built snowmen, and skated, and before they knew it, the afternoon had passed like this.
After dinner and a walk, the two went to bed early after running to the hot springs for a while, saving energy for the next day's early riser.
At half past three in the morning of the 27th, Park Shiyunding's mobile phone under the pillow in the noise vibrated and woke Park Shiyun up. He struggled to open his eyes, got up and dressed, and woke up to the opposite goalkeeper Nozomi Sasaki. After washing, the two simply ate two buckets of instant noodles and set off.
The sunrise time on this day was 7:15 a.m., and the two had plenty of time to go up the mountain to find the right place where the diamond snow was most likely to occur.
Driving to the foot of the mountain near the hot spring village, the two of them wrapped in thick windbreakers, hats and masks, and did enough work to keep warm.
Park Shiyun took a flashlight to open the way in front, the low temperature and more than ten centimeters of snow, the road ahead was difficult to walk, and the road surface under the thick snow could not be seen, so Park Shiyun walked very carefully, and Nozomi Sasaki basically followed him according to the footprints left by Park Shiyun.
Mountaineering is difficult, especially in the darkest part of the day without a glimmer of light in the trees, with every foot in the snow. Park Shi-yoon slipped three times, and Nozomi Sasaki also fell twice.
Sure enough, no one climbed the mountain to watch the diamond snow with the same heart as Nozomi Sasaki, and there were only two people who went up the mountain, Park Shiyun and Nozomi Sasaki. Everyone thinks that the next time they see Diamond Snow will be in a few years, because the last one was a few years ago.
Will a miracle happen? Park Shiyun didn't know that he couldn't resist Nozomi Sasaki, so he accompanied her up. He was now distracted, all he wanted was to climb up.
Nozomi Sasaki burst out with amazing physical strength in order to see the diamond snow, Park Shiyun walked in front, she didn't fall at all, and always kept a distance of two meters from Park Shiyun.
Depart at 4 o'clock, arrive at the bottom of the mountain at 4:30 o'clock, and climb to the top of the mountain at 6 o'clock. By this time the sky was already cloudy. Park Shiyun felt lucky, the humidity on the mountain was very high, the temperature was very low, the weather was good today, and the sun would definitely be visible at sunrise.
Several conditions for the occurrence of diamond snow have basically been met, but if the conditions are not met, diamond snow will appear, which is not necessarily, so it still depends on luck.
The top of the mountain is not steep, but a flat land, surrounded by trees more than ten meters high, and countless trees come together to form a forest.
Park Shi-yoon didn't know what kind of tree it was, but it was the tree he saw the most along the way. There was still an hour before sunrise, and Park Shiyun had already expected this situation, so he deliberately stuffed a blanket in his backpack to keep out the cold.
The mountain wind is very strong, bringing up gusts of snow and dust. Nozomi Sasaki couldn't help but lean on Park Shiyun, and Park Shiyun covered Nozomi Sasaki with a blanket to help her resist the cold wind and let her rest for a while.
Nozomi Sasaki yawned against Park Shiyun, it was okay to be cold, there was a windbreaker and a warm baby to continue to heat up, but I didn't feel very cold. It's just so sleepy that it seems like you can sit and fall asleep as soon as you close your eyes.
Finally, Nozomi Sasaki still couldn't resist the attack of the sleepy insects, and closed his eyes and fell asleep.
At 7:05, Park Shiyun woke up Nozomi Sasaki: "Xiaoxi wake up, it's almost sunrise!" ”
Nozomi Sasaki threw a shock and fell to the ground, but fortunately he was wearing a mask, otherwise he would have had to eat snow. She stood up and patted the snow on her body, then took out her camera and waited with Park Shiyun for the moment of sunrise, and a miracle happened.
"You were snoring while you were sleeping!" While waiting, Park Shiyun bumped Nozomi Sasaki's shoulder and said.
"What!" Nozomi Sasaki's eyes widened and she asked in disbelief, "No, I never snore or grind my teeth!" ”
Park Shi-yoon looked at her innocently, as if to say, am I going to frame you? Nozomi Sasaki began to wonder if she was really snoring.
At this time, Park Shiyun laughed, and Nozomi Sasaki realized that he had been deceived.
"Hahaha~~~" Before Nozomi Sasaki went crazy and started fighting, Park Shiyun escaped.
"Park Shiyun, you're dead!"
Nozomi Sasaki pinched a snowball and threw it at Park Shiyun, who flashed it easily, and he also pinched a snowball and threw it at Nozomi Sasaki.
Nozomi Sasaki was accidentally smashed by Park Shiyun, and the snowball bloomed on her head.
"Haha!" Seeing that he succeeded, Park Shiyun smiled proudly, Nozomi Sasaki pounced on him like an angry bird, and the two rolled on the snow for a while before they gasped and quieted down.
"Ah, stop playing, it's almost sunrise!" Park Shiyun looked at his phone, it was already 7:12 in the morning, only two minutes away from the official sunrise time, and the sky was already bright, like the blue sea half clear and flawless.
Nozomi Sasaki exhaled, and finally reluctantly threw a snowball at Park Shiyun before giving up and picking up the camera on the ground.
"Will there be diamond snow in this weather?" Park Shiyun asked.
Nozomi Sasaki shook his head, "We're lucky, it's a sunny day today, and the conditions for producing diamond snow are basically met, whether it can be produced depends on whether our luck will be a little better!" ”
At this time, the sun slowly rises above the horizon, and the light shines on the earth, and the white expanse between the sky and the earth is dazzling, and people can't open their eyes.
"It's coming, it's coming" Nozomi Sasaki spoke incoherently excitedly, facing the bright light, and constantly pressed the shutter button to film this rare scene.
Park Shiyun quickly adapted, and when he saw the white expanse between heaven and earth, and the shiny ice dust was scattered densely like a drizzle, he was also immediately attracted by this extremely beautiful scene, and only the magic of nature could have such a beautiful scenery for a long time.
Park Shiyun turned his head to look at Nozomi Sasaki, and just wanted to speak, but Nozomi Sasaki hooked Park Shiyun's neck and stood on tiptoe At this moment, the two were like Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden in fairy tales.
The diamond snow lasted longer than ever, a full minute.
Lips parted, Park Shiyun was dumbfounded, and he couldn't count what he ate. Nozomi Sasaki handed the camera to Park Shiyun, "Look, isn't it beautiful!" ”
Park Shiyun saw the photo on the camera, and the appearance of himself and Nozomi Sasaki kissing in a light rain was incomparably romantic. (To be continued......)
