With a loud whistling sound, the plane landed at the Los Angeles airport. After a 13-hour journey, Jiang Li's footprints set foot on the land of America.

Although Jiang Li's English level is not excellent, he has no problem coping with regular conversations. Because of the practice of the "Thirteen Changes of the White Crane", the long journey and the time difference did not have much impact on Jiang Li, and he was still in good spirits.

When he went to the ticket office and asked about the flight to Anchorage, the capital of Alaska, which would depart in three hours, Jiang Li bought a ticket and continued to wait.

At half past three in the afternoon, the plane flying from Los Angeles to Anchorage roared into the sky again, and Jiang Li came to the sky again.

Unlike the last flight, there was a big American fat man sitting next to him, this time sitting next to Jiang Li was a beautiful woman, and it was also an oriental face, with black flowing straight hair hanging down on both shoulders, a delicate face, big eyes, double eyelids, fair skin, tall figure, wearing a blue casual suit, white travel shoes on the soles of her feet, a casual style.

"Hello, my name is Jiang Li, are you Chinese?" After the plane took off, Jiang Li greeted the beautiful woman next to him in line with the principle that men should take the initiative. It is undoubtedly a joy to meet someone in a foreign country.

The beauty smiled and said unexpectedly, "How do you say this question?" In terms of nationality, I am not Chinese. By blood, my parents and grandparents are Chinese, which means that I am an American citizen of Chinese descent. ”

"Huh...... It turned out to be a Chinese female compatriot, fortunately, my name is Jiang Li, it's a pleasure to meet you! Jiang Li smiled and stretched out his palm towards the beautiful woman.

The beautiful woman smiled and shook Jiang Li's hand: "English name kristin, Chinese name Bai Lan, it's a pleasure to meet you!" ”

Jiang Li has no love for the English alphabet, as long as he remembers her Chinese name and smiles in return; "Hello Miss Bai, your name is very unique."

Bai Lan smiled: "I think your name is more interesting?" Isn't it? ”

"Maybe, a lot of people laugh when they hear my name for the first time." Jiang Li made a joke, glad that it would be a pleasant trip.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Jiang Li realized that this Chinese beauty was also going to explore the Alaska Mountains, which surprised Jiang Li. What kind of crazy guts should a weak woman have to come to the cold Alaskan snowy mountains alone to explore?

The three-hour journey passed quickly in conversation and laughter, and after getting off the plane, he saw Jiang Li's simple luggage, but Bai Lan was even more surprised than when Jiang Li heard that he was going to go up the mountain for an adventure, "What, you just brought such a simple thing, and you want to go up the mountain to explore?" ”

Jiang Li nodded: "Yes, I brought such a little thing." To be honest, what you need to buy for expedition gear, I really don't know. ”

Bai Lan was convinced, and gave Jiang Li a thumbs up: "I really don't know whether to admire your courage, or to laugh at your ignorance for being fearless?" Alaska has a large temperature difference between day and night, with temperatures around 15 degrees during the day and dropping below 0 degrees at night. Even in the summer, the temperature in the Alaska Mountains can be around -10 degrees Celsius at night, and the temperature on Mount McKinley can even drop to -20 degrees Celsius. At the very least, you should prepare a winter suit! ”

Jiang Li smiled embarrassedly: "Hehe...... I really didn't expect this, I still wondered about going up the mountain during the day and going down the mountain at night to stay in a hotel! ”

Bai Lan said that she was completely convinced: "I'm dizzy, it's the first time I've heard of climbing an iceberg like this?" Do you think that going up and down the mountain is like walking on the ground? It would take at least a few days to climb from the bottom of Mount McKinley, and I don't think I'll be able to reach the top of the mountain in my lifetime if you go up during the day and down at night. ”

Jiang Li thought to himself, I didn't plan to climb to the top of the mountain, I just wanted to find the "Millennium Snow Lotus". I can climb up from here today and come down in the evening, and climb up from where tomorrow and come down in the evening. I'm not here to explore and climb the mountain, my brother is a busy man, but he doesn't have this leisure and elegance.

But it was inconvenient to say it directly, so he laughed: "So, what do you explorers do?" Do you want to stay in the mountains? ”

"Yes, it's to stay in the mountains, with sleeping bags and tents, and camp wherever you go!" Bai Lan replied in the affirmative.

Out of the airport, Jiang Li felt the cold coming, the temperature was only about three or four degrees, fortunately, he brought a set of sportswear in his travel bag, and put it on immediately, but he was still shivering from the cold.

Seeing Jiang Li's appearance like this, Bai Lan felt funny, and while putting on a cotton coat, she shook her head and pursed her lips and smiled: "I really convinced you, you don't know anything about unfamiliar places, and you dare to come to explore?" I have a padded coat in my bag, but it's a lady's, I don't know if you can wear it? ”

"Wear! I wear it resolutely! No one knows me, so why don't you wear it? It's better than being frozen, right? Besides, others still think I'm a literary fan! Jiang Li agreed with a hippie smile.

Bai Lan was amused by Jiang Li's humor, took out a navy blue cotton coat from her bag and handed it to Jiang Li: "Put it on, it's actually very middle-cast, regardless of gender." ”

Jiang Li took it and put it on, and thanked him repeatedly: "It's still good to be a compatriot, send charcoal in the snow, send cotton clothes in the cold wind, which is moving, when you return to China, I will definitely take you to the wind and wash the dust." ”

Bai Lan smiled: "To be honest, I have lived for twenty years now, and I have only returned to China once, and I really want to go back to my hometown recently!" Since we are both Chinese, we met by fate, and we are both going to Alaska Mountain, so I will make you a free guide and take you up the mountain, right? ”

"Oh, that's great, I'm worried about my unfamiliar place, I can't express my gratitude." Jiang Li was extremely happy and thanked him repeatedly.

It was already dark, and Jiang Li proposed to find a hotel to stay overnight and go climbing the mountain tomorrow. Because there is still about twenty or thirty kilometers to drive from the city of Anchorage to the foot of the Alaska Mountains. Besides, it is inconvenient to climb the mountain when you are new to the city.

To Jiang Li's surprise, Bai Lan actually had a house in this city, "Live in my house, my grandfather used to buy a house in this city, and my family would come to this city every year for vacation and tourism." Looking at the snow-capped mountains will make you feel happy! ”

"Uh...... Thank you so much that I can't express it, I feel like you're like an angel sent by God! Jiang Li was grateful, how could he refuse.

The two men took a taxi and sped along the airport towards the city. Anchorage is the capital of Alaska, a small city with a population of only 200,000, but it is clean and the streets are orderly and give a very comfortable feeling.

Twenty minutes later, the taxi pulled up in front of a two-story villa on the outskirts. The house is a bit shabby, but the scenery around is nice, looking north to see the glaciers of the Arctic Ocean and to the east the snow-capped Alaska Mountains.

"The scenery around this house is good, at least 200,000 dollars, right?"

When Bai Lan took out the key to open the door, Jiang Li stood behind her, looked at the scenery in the distance, and asked casually.

"How much?" Bai Lan asked in surprise.

Jiang Li thought that he had guessed less, and smiled embarrassedly, "It won't be $2 million, right?" In that case, it's a bit outrageous! ”

"$2 million? Are you in charge of making international jokes? $200,000 to sell you! ”

Bai Lan opened the door with a smile, let Jiang Li into the house, and said; "No wonder they say that China's housing prices are high, and you also value $200,000 for such a house? To tell you the truth, my grandfather only spent less than $20,000 when he bought it, and even now, it won't cost more than $50,000 to buy a new villa like this. ”

"Well, it seems that the Chinese are indeed rich!" Jiang Li shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, otherwise, how can this problem be explained?
