In fact, Ji Xiaoran and Zhou Xian left the scenic spot and went to Hemu that afternoon according to the original plan.

Because Hemu is the starting point for the general hike to the White Lake.

So no matter how many stars there are in Hemu and how delicious the haggis soup is, Ji Xiaoran is not interested.

"Actually, we might as well stay here for a few more days and wait for my dad to come over." She looked at the wooden bridge in front of her with a trekking pole in her hand, and she was still a little panicked, "It's only fifty kilometers from the fish viewing platform to the Friendship Peak, and he can take us there directly." ”

"I called last night and asked, and he couldn't come." Zhou Xian was carrying the five-pound mutton that Fang had just asked the store to buy in the restaurant, "I don't know who has penetrated Huangying's affairs to the sky." Since Huang Ying had an incident in Shanhai Pavilion, the boss was inevitably responsible, and even Ji Kang was called up. ”

Seeing the girl's panicked look, Zhou Xian comforted, "Actually, don't panic too much. Although I haven't said it before, I did go hiking with Mo Feiyan. Although Qizanggou is not such a no-man's land, it is also a place that can only be reached on foot. ”

"Second brother is okay with this?" Ji Xiaoran was a little surprised, "I thought he liked the bright lights of the city." ”

"He's actually one of us who loves nature the most." Zhou Xian shrugged, "My third brother and I have both experienced the devastation of this kind of hiking. "TV Mobile/

"You yourself said it was devastated!" The girl immediately blew up, "You must have been fully equipped at that time, right?" We're traveling light now?! ”

This voice shocked many people who came down from the mountain after watching the sunrise, and attracted everyone's frequent sideways.

Zhou Xian hurriedly apologized to the others embarrassedly, and then pulled her and said, "Where is it considered to travel lightly?" The biggest problem with going to no man's land is food. That's the last thing we have to worry about. In addition to snacks and dry food, didn't you also buy mutton? If it doesn't work, we can catch fish. ”

Zhou Xian soaked softly, pulled her and walked towards the wooden bridge. This wooden bridge is still a landmark building in the scenic area, so it is very well repaired. It's just that from the beginning of the north along the river, it is considered to be off course.

He actually has some of Ji Xiaoran's temperament now. Although there are all kinds of cowardice when encountering things, as long as you can catch the ducks on the shelves, you can do it immediately and you can do it well.

It's just that I will continue to talk a lot.

"Talk less, save some effort."

Next to the collapsed tree, Zhou Xian stretched out his hand to pull the girl, but the other party snorted coldly and stubbornly climbed over by himself, "Don't you complain?" ”

Although the straight-line distance from the fish viewing platform to the Friendship Peak is only about 50 kilometers, Hemu is a little southerly, plus the twists and turns required along the way, the route is calculated to be about 100 kilometers each way.

And this route was obtained by Mo Feiyan from a friend who had hiked to Baihu Lake before, after all, as the Friendship Peak at the junction of the four countries, to the east of it, there is the fiery Mongolian Plateau; In the south, there is the boundless Gobi Sea; to the west, bathing in the remnant sun of the Central Asian steppes; To the north, gaze at the wild Siberian snowy sea. This no-man's-land has long been a place for hiking enthusiasts.

The electronic version of the map Zhou Xian searched for a long time before he found a shop with a printer and turned it into a paper file, which marked the places that needed attention, including some camps suitable for rest and places with a high rate of wild beasts.

This road is an ancient road that was left over from a long, long time ago. Legend has it that Genghis Khan crossed the snow-capped Altai Mountains from here, unified the Central Asian steppes, and swept across Europe.

The outline of the ancient road can still be seen, and it is believed that the herdsmen still enter the mountains from this road. It's just that the weeds have reached the ankles and are still growing upwards.

In early autumn, the leaves of the birch forests on both sides of the river have begun to turn yellow and fall, and the white rocky beach is mixed with the pale water. Occasionally, one or two small wooden huts can be seen that have fallen into disrepair, and the owners have moved from the mountains to the village, leaving them as a place for herders to settle down in the mountains.

Taking this as the boundary seems to indicate that the land ahead is already considered to have entered the no-man's land. Walk through the waist-length meadow where the weeds begin, and in front of you is a birch forest that has been reborn after the fire. The trunks of the trees left by the fire were like black arrows pointing straight to the sky, but most of the wreckage collapsed crookedly, but they were held up by the new trees.

The new generation of children is also growing freely, with slender but hard branches crocheting into a web in mid-air.

Ji Xiaoran had already suppressed her voice, not that she didn't want to complain, but that she had run out of energy.

It's not good to attack the reborn trees, and the dead, dangling branches have been cleared little by little by the Scarlet Blade. The bushes underneath them were beyond the power of daggers, so the two of them were able to find a way to walk in the bushes.

However, in addition to these obstacles on the ground, there are also hidden mysteries underfoot. Even if you have trekking poles in front of you, you may still step into the swamp if you are not careful.

It's a place that's as beautiful as an oil painting, but there's no time to appreciate it.

As the sun went down, the night poured into the woods like flowing water, drowning the world. Zhou Xian cleared a clearing in the forest, and piled up a small isolation zone, before digging a pit in the middle and lighting a bonfire.

After experiencing the temperature difference in the past few days, Ji Xiaoran has consciously put on the thick clothes, and then nestled around the bonfire to watch Zhou Xian roast the mutton.

"Senior." Ji Xiaoran's voice was a little complaining, "I think your skills in digging pits have been getting higher and higher recently." It feels like I haven't had a few days of stable life since I met you. ”

"Then why don't you say that I haven't been comfortable since I met you?" Zhou Xian handed her the roasted meat slices, "Otherwise, I shouldn't have the opportunity to go to the realm in my life, right?" ”

"That's my father's fault." The girl took a bite carefully, "If he doesn't say anything about using someone as collateral, I won't go to you, and you won't come to the shop, and there won't be a series of things behind." ”

"That's not right." Zhou Xian looked at the girl who kept complaining and smiled, "The outbreak of frozen green has nothing to do with me, and what you did in Dongting Lake has nothing to do with me, including going to Shennong Valley, I am just a person who was called to work." If you really want to count it, this trip is my insistence. ”

In this way, Zhou Xian is indeed very unlucky. After all, nothing has anything to do with him, but he is the main fighting force in every trip.

Ji Xiaoran blinked: It is even possible that without him, he would have died several times.
