As soon as he entered the cabin, Zhuo Yang was a little dumbfounded: Where do I sleep at night?

The western slope of Säntis is so steep that it almost rises to a cliff. After about an hour and a half of undulating along the snowy path, Zhuo Yang and Kou Kokou arrived at their destination on their trip, the Gladys Chalet.

It is a complex of eleven independent cabins, located just above the snow line, and the eleven huts are built in a staggered manner according to the mountain, although the appearance and size are similar, but they are different from each other, and there is no pattern in the scattering of chess pieces.

If you look at it from an aerial point of view, these brown wooden houses are like Lingzhi mushrooms embedded in the cliffs, giving people a mysterious feeling of a fairyland escape, and you can't imagine how you can get here. In fact, it is only with the help of professional climbing tools, combined with extraordinary courage and physical strength and professional skills, that it is possible to climb up from the foot of the western slope.

There is only one way to get to Gladys' Chalet, and that is the way Choyang and Koko come from it, first to the summit of Säntis and then along the trail. In the days when there were no cable cars, this distance was a test of physical strength. Even so, Zhuo Yang was okay, and when the equally young Kou Kokou reached the finish line, she was already out of breath.

This is the family property of the Joseph family of Coco, and it is also the ancestral property.

This wooden house was originally built by the sixth ancestor of Koko, His Majesty the great Emperor Franz Joseph I. It is impossible to verify why he built such a wooden house of little practical significance in such a dangerous place, but it is true that he sent someone to repair it, and there is no doubt about it.

According to historical records, Princess Sisi once came here in the summer, and many princes and nobles of the Austro-Hungarian Empire also came to see the freshness, but they only came once, because it was too inconvenient.

When the freshness passed, it gradually fell into disuse, sleeping like a dark nest on the cliff on the western face of the Säntishorn.

In the early days, this wooden house was not named, but it was called a 'wooden house on the mountain'. It wasn't until Coco's grandmother, Countess Gladys Heslet, was sorting through the information that it was rediscovered. After making a special trip to see it, my grandmother liked it very much and immediately became obsessed with it.

So, Coco's grandfather, Archduke Ludwig, went to negotiate with the Swiss government in person in order to win a smile on his wife's face. Eventually, the Swiss government returned ownership of the cottage to the Joseph family.

Archduke Ludwig remodeled and renovated the cottages, giving them a new look and naming them after his wife, 'Gladys', making it a unique resort and setting up a company to run it.

Fifteen years ago, Koukou's father took charge and rebuilt this place twice, mainly by connecting it with electricity and configuring some electrical appliances. Today, many of the Joseph family's properties, including here and in the courtyard of Florentine Flower Lane, are in the hands of Mama Co., who doesn't care about anything.

In addition to electricity, Gladys Cottage is basically isolated, with no internet, let alone mobile phone signal, and only Uncle Leopold, the person in charge of the entire cabin area, has a satellite phone to communicate with the outside world.

Before the winter break of school, Coco greeted Uncle Leopold and kept the 3# hut at the top of the school for her. Coco is a young owner, and what she says is what she is.

.

The eleven cabins were nothing unusual, with long angular shapes that looked like shorter dark brown shipping containers from a distance. Although the construction is uneven, all the wooden houses are oriented in the same direction, straight to the west.

The 3# Wooden House is the highest of all the Gladys wooden houses, and it is built on a recessed flat ground in the cliff, and even a third of it is overhanging from the mountain wall, which is very thrilling to see.

"Thank you, Mr. Leopold."

"You're welcome Your Highness Princess, Leopold is willing to serve you."

After opening the door of 3# in person, Leopold handed over the wooden house that had already been cleaned up and tidy, and before leaving, he secretly glanced at Zhuo Yang again.

There is a hole in the hut, but the area of at most about 20 square meters is fully functional. Bedrooms, toilets, bathrooms, everything is available, compact without feeling cramped, and there is a small dining room and kitchen. The interior of the wooden house is simple and antique, with few furniture, a low platform bed, and a small and chic carved three-wall wardrobe.

It stands to reason that such a small space has so many functions that it should feel like you can't turn around inside, but because of the most characteristic beauty of the wooden house, it seems that the wooden house is transparent and open.

At the top of the bedroom, the chalet juts out of the cliff, and the entire wall is covered with a large glass window that reaches to the sky, creating a beautiful visual effect. From the windows of the house, you can enjoy the view of the Alps and the plain of Lake Constance.

The queen bed is next to the floor-to-ceiling window, and you can lazily lie on it and watch the beautiful scenery of the sunset. Poets can compose entire sonnets here.

Zhuo Yang lay on the bed, holding his chin and looking at the snow-capped mountains near and far, deeply intoxicated by this beautiful scenery. It's no wonder that Coco likes it so much, the beauty and beauty are all in one.

Listen to Coco introduce him to the name of each snow-capped peak, as well as the mountains and lakes, which direction is Zurich and where is Basel. Further afield, there is France, and beyond France, the vast Atlantic Ocean.

"The most beautiful thing here is the sunset, and the afterglow of the sun will give each snow-capped mountain a beautiful gold edge. Gradually, the Alps were dyed all gold. However, this time is very short, and when the sun goes down completely, they turn a fluorescent black. ”

"If the weather is clear, the starry sky at night is beautiful. But alas, if you want to see the moon, there will be many fewer stars, and there will be many stars, but there will be no moon. ”

"The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and the world is safe and perfect." Zhuo Yang said: "Coco, do you know what the most beautiful scenery is? ”

"I want to know." Coco tilted her head to look over.

"The scenery you see with your loved ones is the most beautiful, just like now." With that, he kissed him.

It was already past noon when it set out, and the winter days were short, and the sun was already beginning to set, and even though it tried to stay in the boundless beauty, it still had no choice but to set westward.

The remnant sun is like blood, and the sun reflects the sky. As Coco describes, the golden glow of the setting sun gilds the Alps with a brilliant holy light.

Zhuo Yang didn't dare to continue, he and Kokou were already red-eyed and panting like a cow, in such a swaying heat, something would happen. For the sake of Koukou's religious beliefs and for the perfection of his lover, Zhuo Yang left Koukou with great difficulty, leaving this intoxicating bed.

"Coco, don't tempt me anymore, I'm going crazy." He bowed slightly to hide his indecency, and said to her with a smile.

Kou also smiled but didn't speak, and her drunken eyes made Zhuo Yang's heart flutter.

Don't dare to look at it! This is a temptation that is more seductive than seduction. Zhuo Yang hurriedly retreated to the small kitchen, opened the big backpack and rummaged inside.

"Are you hungry? Would you like me to make you something to eat? Well? After that, Zhuo Yang looked around and couldn't help but worry: Where to sleep at night?

I thought there would be a sofa, and there were, but it was just two small single seats. With Zhuo Yang's height, the remaining floor in the bedroom is not enough for him to lay the floor. It seems that only by moving the small kitchen table outside the door of the wooden house can he spend the night on the cold ground here.
