Sanji probed the depth of the snow with the trekking poles he had brought from the hotel, probably just below my knees, and he walked in as he probed.

I followed him, behind the old Huang Palace, although we wore very thick cotton boots and cotton pants, I could still feel the cold legs and feet, the snow here was thicker than the road, and the "creak" sound under our feet, we had to raise our feet high with every step, but fortunately the terrain in the canyon was quite stable.

I was panting, obviously I had just entered the canyon, and I already felt that my body couldn't bear it, not that I was tired, but that I was high, even if I took medicine, it didn't have much effect.

I don't dare to tell Lao Huang, but fortunately, it's not very serious, it's okay to hold on.

Sanji walked so fast that I could barely catch up, but he didn't go fast, but I walked too slowly, and if I followed my pace, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to reach it tomorrow morning.

I was depressed, I had been exercising for three months, but now I was even more helpless than when I was in Taixing.

"That's not going to work?" Lao Huang's voice came from behind.

I held my breath and quickened my pace, but Sanji slowed down and glanced back at the two of us.

"It's okay to slow down, don't fall."

It's really slippery underfoot, the snow-capped mountains here are perennial frozen soil, and the layers of snow on top have never melted, and have long since turned into layers of solid ice, and now the snow has just fallen, and it is completely a large skating rink.

We wore the most professional shoes, and I could still feel that my feet were slippery, but luckily it had just snowed, so it was fine to step on the snow without touching the ice.

It's just that the flat ground is so difficult to walk, and I will definitely have to climb the mountain.

The wind in the canyon was fairly light, but none of us spoke, and it was best to save energy when doing such a long trek.

With Sanji exploring the road in front, I walked very safely, as long as I followed his footprints one by one, his speed gradually slowed down, and there was a fork in the canyon in front of me.

At the end of the day, we're walking under the roots of the mountains, and if there are avalanches and geological changes, I'm sure I'm going to get lost, and the mountains here are all the same to me.

Sanji quickly chose a path, and although it was still a canyon, there was a clear slope here, and his steps became cautious, and I was very spirited.

I don't know how far we've come, I can't see the road anymore when I turn back, my head is dizzy, my body is also uncomfortably, Lao Huang is obviously not feeling well, and he starts to gasp for breath.

We still underestimated that we should have gone up to the plateau to exercise, and Sanji seemed to realize our strain, and from time to time he turned back to pull me along.

My feet became slippery, and I had to plunge the sapper shovel deep into the snow with each step, and I felt that it would be a little more comfortable to bend a little, so I simply walked with my head down.

"Be careful."

Sanji looked back and said, I looked up, only to see that he had gone around a place and walked seven or eight meters before returning to his original route.

I couldn't see anything wrong there at all, it was as smooth as all the roads we'd walked.

"There are many ice caves on the snowy mountains, some of which have ice edges in them, and there is no hope of saving them if they fall into them." Sanji explained.

There was a white expanse everywhere, and I felt like I was forever standing still, how did Sanchi remember where there was an ice cave?

I can only understand this as talent and experience, but the truth of the matter may be cruel, and the experience of Tibetans is often a lesson in blood.

We finally made it uphill, and I felt black in front of me, and my body was tired, and I couldn't keep going, so I stopped.

"Lao Huang, let's take a break."

Lao Huang nodded without saying a word, he didn't look tired, but he knew that I wouldn't ask for help until I couldn't hold on.

We sat down by the edge of the canyon, Lao Huang took out the alcohol stove and boiled some water with snow, we drank a little bit of it alone, I took out my mobile phone and took a look, but found that the mobile phone turned off automatically because the temperature was too low.

Sanji looked at me and smiled, and said, "It should be four o'clock in the afternoon." ”

I let out an "oh", completely unsure of how he judged.

I drank water and quickly closed my eyes to rest, I want to adjust my condition as soon as possible.

Lao Huang put things away, I felt that it was only five minutes later, and Sanji began to call me, his face was not very good, he turned his head to look back and forth, left and right, and seemed to be very nervous.

"What's wrong?" Lao Huang asked.

I struggled to my feet, patting the snow on my body, and Sanchi pointed to the valley ahead: "There are animal skeletons there." ”

I was taken aback, but I couldn't see anything, there was a white expanse in front of me, and there really seemed to be a bulging snow bag in the place where Sanchi was pointing, but I couldn't tell it was a skeleton at all.

Sanji walked there quickly, and Lao Huang and I hurriedly followed, and I slipped and stumbled, but fortunately Lao Huang grabbed me from behind.

It was indeed a skeleton, with only a slight bulge in the snow, and it was supposed to be a very large deer, and I saw that it had large horns like tree branches, and the whole skeleton was at least two meters long.

"It's a white-lipped deer, the mountain here is not steep, it won't fall to its death." Sanchi spoke quickly, his face full of unease.

Hunters will definitely not leave their prey here, either they will fall to their death, or they will be bitten to death by natural predators, no wonder Sanchi is nervous, there must be fierce beasts here.

"Didn't you say the biggest danger here is falling?" Lao Huang held back his anger.

"It's close to people, and people often walk, and the beasts won't come, why should I lie to you, if I knew that there were beasts, I wouldn't have come." Sanji was clearly in a hurry.

Sanji made a lot of sense, his face was full of confusion and surprise, not like he was pretending.

I felt my heart half cold, obviously it was just a lama temple that was not too far away, why were there so many ups and downs, and my confidence was about to be shattered.

Lao Huang didn't speak again, my nervousness increased more than tenfold, I just followed Sanji step by step, but now I was always vigilant around, and I hurried to see if there was a little wind and grass.

Pay attention to the surroundings, you can't help but ignore the foot, I fell several times on this short road, but fortunately it is all flat ground, and it is nothing to wear thick clothes.

However, the gentle road soon came to an end, the sun was completely hidden behind the mountain, and the night suddenly came, and I felt that the temperature was much lower, and even my nostrils were spewing white gas.

I didn't know where to go, but everywhere was extremely steep, and nothing looked easy to walk.

Sanchi motioned for us to rest, and we cooked compressed food with a flashlight, and it tasted terrible, and I forced myself to eat some.

Sanji pointed to the mountain on the left: "We pass from here, over this mountain is the lama temple, go up the mountain must step on my footprints, the terrain here changes every day, where there may be ice caves, I can only take the most reliable one." ”

Even the most reliable can be fraught with danger, and I know that when the ice melts, it starts from the inside, and even if it is flat on the outside, it may be full of honeycomb hollows underneath.

I was very uncomfortable all over my body, on the one hand, I was really tired, and walking here for an hour was better than ten hours outside, if it was me before, I would have fallen on the road.

Darkness means more danger, and turning off the flashlight here is really out of sight, so we tie the flashlight to our belts and crawl up with a sapper shovel in both hands.

The slope is so steep that the foot is surprisingly slippery, I can't understand why the lama temple was built in such a place, don't these lamas go out all their lives?

I slid down half a step with almost every step, and I had to be careful not to fall, I was in no mood to pay attention to my surroundings anymore, my whole body was swollen, my eyes felt bulging outward, the blackness in front of my eyes was a small thing, and my whole body trembled like chaff.

I lost feeling in my legs and feet, I don't know if I was tired or frozen, but fortunately Sanchi was very reliable, we didn't fall into the ice cave, but he had poked holes several times with his trekking poles, and we went around and around, stopping at a few steps, and walking much more than it seems.

The Lama Temple is really not far from Ba Qing, but the road is really difficult to walk, this mountain looks high, in fact, it is far worse than what I climbed in Taixing, but we still used it longer.

Falls are inevitable, with the first time there is a second time, not to mention me and Lao Huang, even Sanji fell twice, fortunately, the three of us were very close, and as soon as we fell, we immediately reached out and grabbed it, but it didn't slide down, but it was delayed a lot of time.

I was like a walking dead the whole time, and I fell until I was numb, and I didn't even have the strength to speak, and I don't know how long it took for us to finally stand on the top of the mountain.

I could hear the "hunting" sound of prayer flags being blown by the wind, and a small lama temple was built in the middle of the hillside, casting a shadow over the white snow-capped mountains.

We looked at the side of the Lama Temple, and we could see that the temple was brightly lit, adding endless warmth to the bleak snow-capped mountains.

The slope on this side is much slower, this is the sunny side, the snow is not thick, we see the lama temple as if we see hope, even the feet become light.

It turns out that this lama temple is still there!

I can't tell if I'm nervous or excited, but we've worked so hard to find this place.

The way down the mountain was more difficult, but the slope was gentle, the snow was thinner, and more importantly, the mood was completely different, and I felt that it took us less than an hour to get to the front of the lama temple.

Sanchi knocked on the door and shouted a few words in Tibetan, and soon the door opened, and a very young lama poked his head out and folded his hands in front of us.

We returned the salute and he muttered a few words to Sanchi, and I only saw Sanchi's face become strange, and he turned his head to us and said, "This temple does not accept tourists." ”

"We are not ......"

Lao Huang pinched me behind my back, with a smile on his face: "We are lost, can you help us?" ”

I quickly shut up, the lamas believe in the Buddha and purify all sentient beings, and they will definitely help us.

Sanji translated, who knew that the lama actually shook his head, pointed to the opposite hillside and said a few words, then retracted and closed the door with a "bang".
