Chapter 36: Ascending the Himalayas

Early the next morning, Yan Yilong woke up Mu Xiaoxiao, who was dreaming on the sofa. Today, they are going to the Potala Palace, a beautiful and ingenious palace of art. Mu Xiaoxiao packed up and wore a bohemian-style long dress, which was very regional and beautiful. Yan Yilong also only wore white half-sleeves and sky blue shorts, and the whole person looked several years younger.

"Eh, Yan Yilong, how old are you! Wearing a suit and looking like a 25-year-old with a straight face. Now wearing this~ 20 people believe it. ”

Yan Yilong looked at her speechlessly. In fact, he doesn't mind others looking at him as old. Older people appear mature and steady, and can calm down the people below very well. But Mu Xiaoxin's own age was a little angry, and he said angrily:

“27”

"I'm 27 when you're 27. Old man."

Mu Xiaoxiao didn't expect this man who looked so young to be so old. Okay, okay.

But Mu Xiaoxiao's old man didn't make Yan Yilong happy, obviously hoping that he would be looked upon, but when he said it from Mu Xiaoxiao's mouth, it seemed that he was much worse than her, inexplicably, he didn't like this feeling very much.

When he arrived at the Potala Palace, Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the sacred palace from a distance, as if thinking about its scene hundreds of years ago. The gorgeous decorations and the beauty of the natural blue sky and white clouds and green spaces make this temple that has carried many stories and responsibilities for hundreds of years much mysterious.

Mu Xiaoxiao's expression suddenly became stern, she knew that this palace was very sacred, and some people of faith even knelt on the ground and kowtowed and took a step like this for more than half a year to come here. Although she didn't have a strong belief, she thought: A palace that can be located at such a high altitude, then the closest place to the sky, even if you ask for it, it should be very spiritual, right? She has not forgotten the purpose of this visit: to find fresh saffron and Tianshan snow lotus for her mother.

She followed Yan Yilong into the Potala Palace and carefully looked at its history. Far more shocking than in the original textbook. There are some things that you will never be able to appreciate unless you see them with your own eyes.

"Yan Yilong, I'm going to pay my respects to Princess Wencheng."

Yan Yilong didn't speak, so he acquiesced. Of course, he also wanted to go and worship, although he didn't believe it, but praying always proved that he had that heart.

After returning from the Potala Palace, they drove to Shigatse. Shigatse is a city in Tibet, close to Nepal, where the largest river in Tibet, the Brahmaputra River, passes.

"Yan Yilong, where will there be fresh saffron and Tianshan Snow Lotus." Mu Xiaoxiao is the most nervous about the purpose of coming to Tibet this time.

"Himalayas. There is snow and ice all year round, and the freshest iceberg snow lotus and saffron are on the mountain. But it's too dangerous, it's better to buy it"

What Yan Yilong said is not unreasonable. Collecting medicine is something that local professionals do, how can a child like Mu Xiaoxiao, who grew up in the city, have? And this is the Himalayas, in addition to a few peaks such as Mount Everest that have been developed, the rest of the medicinal herbs are mostly some wild mountains covered with snow all year round, not to mention Mu Xiaoxiao, even people with special training will hesitate.

"However, those who collect the medicine sell all the good medicinal materials to the merchants, and the merchants take them and process the adulteration does not guarantee the quality of the medicine. The farmers along the road were also picked by those merchants, and the rest was not very good. ”

Mu Xiao wrote his own theory, but Yan Yilong was unmoved, what kind of person is he, and what can't be bought with money? As long as the money is in place, everything you want will be delivered.

"I'll send someone to find a buyer and let them find the best medicinal herbs."

But Mu Xiaoxiao didn't want to. He already owes Yan Yilong a lot of money. He arranged everything for his visit to Tibet this time. It would be embarrassing to let him buy these high-quality and expensive things again.

"No, no, no~ you go to the hotel and wait for me, I'll go by myself, soon."

Mu Xiaoxiao insisted no matter what she said, and said that she wanted to go by herself, Yan Yilong felt that women were really troublesome, how could he let her go alone? Hey~ I had no choice but to go along with it, and in the end Long Ye made a compromise, and early tomorrow morning, I will take Mu Xiaoxiao to climb the mountain.

Before dawn the next day, Mu Xiaoxiao picked up Yan Yilong, who was still asleep. They stayed in the center of Shigatse yesterday, and now they have to rush to the Himalayas in Shigatse.

"Wear more."

Yan Yilong took out two very thick clothes from the box. One white and one red. It was he who deliberately asked the secretary to prepare for himself and Mu Xiaoxiao before leaving. You don't have to be in the city in the mountains, it's very cold. In Tibet, a lot of water is left by melting icebergs, but more water has been stored in the mountains in a state of ice, which shows that the temperature is very low.

After getting dressed, the two men began to set out towards the Himalayas. Yan Yilong didn't bring anyone, because Mu Xiaoxiao's woman was too unruly, always yelling at her own name, he couldn't let others listen, otherwise where was his majesty? What's more, he knows his ability very well, not to mention a wild mountain and a snow-capped mountain, even if he waits for Mount Everest with his bare hands. Who is Master Long? God is like a man who exists zĂ i. But he also had his guard in hand, and he carried a gun with him in case he needed it.

When I arrived in the Himalayas, it was close to noon, and the sun was very strong~ but it was still very cold everywhere. Mu Xiaoxiao felt a strong sense of discomfort in her body, the high altitude of Tibet was already thin in oxygen, but it was okay in the city, but the more she went up to the mountain range, the more uncomfortable she felt, but she had to endure it, after all, she was the one who was shouting to collect medicine, and it would be too bad if she dared to drag others here and get sick herself.

Before going up the mountain, Mu Xiaoxiao only carried some water and food, but Yan Yilong carried a lot of things: hiking sticks, tents, heaters in hand, compasses and even oxygen cylinders, Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless. She remembered that Yan Yilong was a powerful person, was he so afraid of death when he was preparing to climb the wild mountain?

But Mu Xiaoxiao was wrong, the reason why Yan Yilong was usually so strong was because his ability was enough to fight against those problems that might arise. But now it is different, the harsh and unpredictable environment makes it impossible for this operation to be completed according to Yan Yilong's imagination, so he has to prepare a way to deal with the problems that may occur, and from the first day she came to Tibet, Mu Xiaoxiao was uncomfortable, and she seemed to have some strong altitude sickness.

As soon as they were ready, the two of them began to climb, although Mu Xiaoxiao was a girl who had not received training, but she also exercised regularly, and she also specialized in rock climbing. Moreover, the snow-capped mountains here are not exactly cliffs, in fact, there is no problem for people to climb, but saffron and Tianshan snow lotus grow between the cliffs or on the side of steep mountains. In a short time, the two of them climbed 300 meters. It doesn't feel like anything to climb 300 meters in the city, but in Tibet, where oxygen is thin, and the surrounding temperature is still below zero, surrounded by snow-capped mountains, 300 meters is not easy. Mu Xiaoxiao's face was red. I don't know if it's freezing or what, she looked at Yan Yilong behind her, he didn't catch his breath, he looked very relaxed, and the big bag he was carrying had to weigh dozens of pounds.

Mu Xiaoxiao felt a warmth in her heart, this man, looking cold, didn't care about himself at all, but he climbed so slowly but kept silently following him, not afraid that he would fall or have some accidents. Cut~

Yan Yilong was stared at by Mu Xiaoxiao's hair, and asked:

"The snowy mountains made you freeze stupid?"

Cut, bad guys! Mu Xiaoxiao, who had just silently praised him in his heart, suddenly had nothing to say to this man.

"You take a break, I'll take a look around."

Yan Yilong took out a piece of cloth, spread it on the snow for Mu Xiaoxiao to sit down, put the heavy bag he was carrying aside, and climbed to a steeper place without hands. Mu Xiaoxiao hurriedly shouted:

"Yan Yilong, don't be in danger, how can I let you take risks."

"Shut your mouth and save a little body." Yan Yilong was still coldly reproached, and no one could question his words.

Looking at such a sturdy tall figure crawling towards those steep places, Mu Xiaoxiao's heart was in her throat, she was very scared, afraid that something would happen to this pampered young master.

Of course she was wrong, of course she was pampered, of course it wasn't Yan Yilong, he was sent to all kinds of devil training since he was a child, and he went home for two years and finally could indulge a little more, and was disgusted by his father for being too free and loose and sent to the army for seven years. He hasn't experienced anything, suffered anything, and suffered nothing, and won't he? Therefore, climbing the cliff with bare hands is a trivial matter for Long Ye.

Yan Yilong explored the surrounding environment and found that there were rare medicinal materials two hundred meters up, but the more he went up, the more difficult it was to walk, and the more difficult the mountain to climb, he couldn't hold on for long. He wanted to climb up and pick it directly, but he was afraid that Mu Xiaoxiao wouldn't see him for a long time and came up to him in a hurry, so he went down to find Mu Xiaoxiao.

"There are medicinal herbs two hundred meters above, but it's too difficult to walk on top, so you can wait for me here." Yan Yilong said calmly.

"No way!"

Mu Xiaoxiao stood up excitedly, but because she stood up too quickly and was excited for a moment, she fainted for a while, and Yan Yilong hurriedly supported her and scolded her for being reckless. In the end, after many quarrels, it was decided that Mu Xiaoxiao would climb another hundred meters and then set up a tent, and Yan Yilong would go up to collect medicine. Spend the night on a snowy mountain.

Mu Xiaoxiao didn't expect it. Before going up the mountain, he laughed at Yan Yilong's caution so much, and he still carried the tent, but he didn't expect that if he didn't carry it? They were afraid that they would freeze to death in the mountains.

At 400 meters, Mu Xiaoxiao and the others stopped and began to set up their tents. The tent that Long Ye wants to use is naturally top-notch, wind and rain resistance, and the fabric is actually solar energy to store heat for use at night. It's amazing, it's amazing. If he hadn't met Yan Yilong, Mu Xiaoxiao would never have known that human beings still had such a great invention in his life.

After setting up the tent, Mu Xiaoxiao felt extremely hypoxic, her head was ruthless, and she couldn't care about the shyness of any girl, she suddenly threw herself into Yan Yilong's arms to find a trace of warmth. Yan Yilong patted her face, regretting in his heart why he listened to her and took her to climb the mountain. It's not nonsense, I must have made a mistake in my head at that time. He took out a portable heater and oxygen cylinder, handed it to Mu Xiaoxiao to teach her to use, and decided to climb another hundred meters to collect medicine.

"Don't go, it's getting dark. Dangerous. ”

Mu Xiaoxiao said a little uncomfortable.

"It's okay, wait for me, I'll be back in a while, before dark."

"No, I don't want you to take risks." Mu Xiaoxiao cried and dragged Yan Yilong with a sad face, and Yan Yilong had no choice but to say:

"I used to be a special forces soldier for seven years, these are trivial."

Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him in surprise. The last time he fought with those thugs in the hotel, that posture, that Niu Cha's martial arts, she wondered how a president could be so powerful, but she didn't expect that President Yan Yilong Yan had been a special soldier for seven years. Mu Xiaoxiao felt that her understanding of this mysterious Yan Yilong had deepened one step further, although it was forced by Yan Yilong to sue him at such a time, but she finally understood him better. Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoxiao boldly kissed Yan Yilong's face, then quickly turned his head and said:

"Be careful, be careful, be careful, you must come back in an hour and a half, or I'll go looking for you."

Yan Yilong was still unexpectedly kissing, and Mu Xiaoxiao, who was in a good mood, went out

PS: It's late to put on my roommate's makeup today. I'm too sleepy, I'll change it today. But it's a lot of words.
