Chapter 34: Into the Mountain

Lao Huang is also completely inexperienced, and now listening to Sanji's words, hurry up and put on the fire, the roadside signs have completely disappeared, and it is impossible for the mobile phone to have a signal, so we can only wait here.

The engine couldn't be turned on all the time, we didn't have so much gasoline, Lao Huang turned off the air conditioner and lights, the temperature in the car gradually decreased, and the two of us put on the extra thick down jacket that had been prepared, fat like a hen in a nest.

Sanji refused to wear it, but simply put on the other sleeve of his robe, which was thick and looked heavy.

As the minutes ticked by, the snow didn't diminish at all, and thanks to the engine on, we weren't buried.

Lao Huang's car chassis is very high, and now the snow outside is at least 30 centimeters thick, and it would have been frozen inside if it was an ordinary car.

It's only been half an hour, I don't dare to think about what we'll encounter next, Lao Huang couldn't hold it back for a long time, and scolded a few words in a low voice from time to time, and nodded uneasily at his feet.

"Someone will come to our rescue."

Sanchi was very calm, he kept plucking the beads.

It's really unfavorable, I'm crazy in my heart, think about the problems when I first went to Taixing, my luck is so bad?

Lao Huang no longer deliberately made a sound, he collected his clothes, and actually changed into a comfortable position and dozed off.

I look at Sanchi, and then look at Lao Huang, I want to die, God knows how long we will stay here.

Even an hour ago, the sun was shining brightly and the scenery was pleasant, how can the weather change? I kept feeling dizzy and swollen, and my head was "buzzing", so I simply flipped out the high reaction pill and swallowed a piece.

The effect of the medicine came quickly, and I gradually lost the feeling of dizziness and swelling, but I was so sleepy that my eyelids were extremely heavy, and I fell asleep with little resistance.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

I was woken up by a knocking sound, my head was groggy, I was still sleepy, and it took me a long time to open my eyelids, my body was still warm, but my face was cold.

The sound of the engine had stopped, the car was dark, the air was filthy, we were all covered in snow, only the window next to the driver's seat was shining, and I could see a pair of heavily gloved hands pulling the snow from the window outside.

Lao Huang was also woken up, he wanted to open the car door, but found that the car door had been frozen and solid, and he couldn't open it at all.

Sanji is still pulling the string of Buddhist beads, I really admire him from the bottom of my heart, this person is surprisingly calm.

I glanced at my phone, and only a few hours had passed, and I could hear someone talking outside, but it was like a veil that I couldn't hear at all.

Lao Huang leaned against the glass and looked out, but he didn't know what he saw, and said angrily: "It's really embarrassing." ”

Soon I saw a face appear on the glass next to the driver's seat, a young-looking boy, wearing a heavy military cap and the tip of his nose was red from the cold.

"Three, all alive!" He screamed.

A stream of hot air drifted away, sticking to the car window, and the people outside were rushing the car door with hot water, and soon the car door was pulled open from the outside, and the cold wind "whirred" in.

The air was fresh, and I suddenly fell asleep, and I saw a young man in a military coat standing outside, and the red star on the military hat was shining.

The snow outside was already much lighter, but it had accumulated a full fifty centimeters, Lao Huang got out of the car first, and Sanji and I bent down and stepped into the driver's seat and walked out in turn.

I saw a military vehicle parked in front of our car, and in addition to the young man, there were four or five other people standing outside, carrying all Type 95 rifles.

I stepped into the snow and the snow went straight up to my calves, and I didn't wear snow boots, but I felt cold under my feet, and my whole body was uncomfortable.

The young man saluted us: "Sorry we're late. ”

Lao Huang saw his relatives, and without thinking about it, he returned a standard military salute: "I used to be in the border guards, and now I am retired." ”

The young man immediately became lively: "Big brother, where are you going?" ”

"Ba Qing, it is said that the snow-capped mountains there are beautiful."

Lao Huang's lie is extremely natural, as if we were originally going to travel, but I was moved just now, looking at Lao Huang's way, if he lied to me, I wouldn't be able to see it even if I had three eyes.

The young soldier was so enthusiastic that he couldn't help it: "We are the border defense company stationed in Ba Qing, and we came here only when we looked at the satellite cloud image and found that a car was trapped in the snow. ”

As he spoke, he led us to the military vehicle, and I looked back to see the rest of the men taking ropes and tying our vehicle to the military vehicle.

We got into the carport of the military van, and there was also a medic with a medicine box sitting in it, and we repeatedly said that it was okay, but he checked us anyway.

The rest of the people got in, and even though they were blocked by the carport, I could still feel a heavy object dragging behind the military vehicle, and the old horse's big Land Rover was really quite large.

The three of us sat on one side, and the border guards sat on the other, their backs straight, their expressions serious, and I didn't dare to say anything.

It's no wonder that Lao Huang said that he was ashamed, these border guards looked like rookies, and he was an old-timer.

We didn't say anything all the way, the military vehicle ran very steadily, it took a little more than two hours to get to Ba Qing, jumped off the military vehicle, only to see that the snow outside had stopped, and we were in a gas station.

The sky was still overcast, but it didn't seem like it would snow anymore, and a touch of sunlight pierced the thick clouds, gilding the dark clouds, and the sun shone on the snow-capped mountains, dazzling and holy.

Sanji looked at the snow-capped mountain with his hands folded and a reverent expression, I felt a little heavy breathing, still top-heavy, the altitude here is too high.

The cold wind blew on my face like a knife, and I wrapped myself like a cotton ball, and I still couldn't help but shiver.

The military vehicle left, and Lao Huang went to fill the car with gas, clean up the snow, and clean it for half an hour before opening the car door.

Ba Qing County is very small, you can see the edge at a glance, and the houses here are built on the mountain, which occupies half of the hillside, but the mountain is not high.

The road is full of large trucks, with the occasional few cars, and the houses here are all low-rise bungalows, mostly two-storey, and rarely taller.

At a glance, I saw a building with yellow walls and red tiles on the hillside, and the five-colored prayer flags swaying in the wind, which was obviously a lama temple.

"Is this temple?" I asked.

Sanji shook his head: "No, this one was built later, and the one you are looking for is in the mountains, far away." ”

Knowing that it wasn't that simple, we found a nice looking hotel down the street and moved everything in the car into the house.

Sanji brought only a small package containing a paper bag of ghee and a Tibetan knife, as well as a shotgun.

When Lao Huang saw the gun, his eyes straightened, and he shouted a few times "", picked it up and fiddled with it, and soon put it down stupidly.

I also picked it up and looked at it a few times, and the shotgun was obviously homemade, and it could only be filled with homemade earthen bullets, which were very small, and could only injure the prey at most, and the power might not be as powerful as some slingshots.

Sanji took out the tsampa and stuffed it into his mouth, and Lao Huang grabbed him: "It's finally time to eat meat, it's so boring to eat these." ”

Sanji shook his head: "We must go into the mountain immediately, it may snow at any time now, and if we delay it, we can't go, if it snows, Boss Zhang, no matter how high the price is, I won't go." ”

Sanji said very firmly, Lao Huang also lost his temper, without this guide, we couldn't go anywhere, so we could only sit down and take out dry food to gnaw, Lao Huang bit very hard, and the unhappiness was written on his face.

I glanced at my phone, and finally there was a signal, but no one contacted me.

"It's almost twelve o'clock, can we get there before dark?" I asked as I gnawed.

Sanji shook his head: "It's going to be a day." ”

Lao Huang was not happy: "How dangerous is the snow mountain at night, you let us climb in the dark?" Who's to blame if something happens! ”

Sanji was very calm: "You can not go." ”

Lao Huang pounded his chest, with a constipated expression, I rarely see Lao Huang deflated, and now I want to give Sanji a thumbs up.

"Every month, someone will send supplies to the lama temple, I have walked that road many times, there will be no danger, your biggest danger is falling." Sanji was serious.

"Fall? I don't read much, don't lie to me. ”

Sanji didn't seem to understand what the lack of reading had to do with deceiving people, but frowned: "If you fall, you will roll down, there are stones on the mountain, and it is dangerous." ”

Lao Huang was speechless, Sanji has a lot more experience than us, and we better listen to him.

Lao Huang bought too many things for this trip, like tents and the like can't be used at all, since you want to climb the mountain, it's best to travel lightly, not to mention that Sanji said that there will be no danger this time, and a day is not too long.

We carefully screened the equipment, the sapper shovel must be brought, even if there is no danger as a mountaineering stick is also very good, and then there is a flashlight and dry food, there is no need to worry about water on the snowy mountain, Lao Huang stuffed an alcohol stove, and I stuffed that big bundle of mountaineering rope into it.

"What are you doing with this? Dead and sinking. Lao Huang took the climbing rope out of my bag with a puzzled expression.

"I think it works."

I hurriedly stuffed it back, Lao Huang definitely couldn't understand what kind of feelings I had for the mountaineering rope, anyway, I couldn't do without it for the rest of my life.

Lao Huang looked at me as if he was looking at a neuropathy: "Let's say it first, if you can't carry it, I will definitely not carry it." ”

"I'll carry it myself."

Lao Huang had a hopeless expression on his face, we got our gear up, changed into hiking boots and jackets, and Sanji saw that we were packed, picked up his small package and walked out.

I took a deep breath, and after all this time, I was finally able to find out.

Sanchi walked ahead and led us along the main road, about six or seven miles, and turned into a ravine.

The canyon is completely covered with snow, you can't see how deep it is, the snow-capped mountains on both sides are very steep, as if they were split by a knife, it just snowed today, the canyon is a thick layer, and there is no trace of anyone walking at all.
