Chapter 42: The Road to the Mountain
"Let's hold on, we'll be halfway up the mountain soon, where we can take a break."
"Zhou Xuran, can you not always lie to me, I'm not stupid, I told me for a while from just now that I reached the halfway up the mountain, this halfway up the mountain told you that it was so close, why did I walk for less than two hours, I don't care, I want to rest here, I really can't walk." Zhou Xuran looked at me helplessly, "I didn't expect you to be a scoundrel." We can't rest here, and the terrain is not flat for camping. ”
"Forget it, or I'll carry you." Ji Ran said coldly. I looked at him with admiration: "Ji Gongzi, it's rare to see such a charming side of you." ”
"I've always been like this, and I'm tired, but it's our gentleman's duty to take care of the lady, and I'll let you know how much charm I have." Ji Ran was particularly complacent when I praised him like this.
The things on his body were thrown to Zhou Xuran, and his movements were a little exaggerated to show himself, and I felt a little greasy, not to mention that Zhou Xuran on the side rarely showed a look of contempt from his expressionless face.
Ji Ran did a whole set of actions and then squatted on the ground and looked at me: "Let you feel my charm, come up" It's just that the moment I got up, it confirmed a sentence, handsome for only three seconds, it was definitely worthy of Zhou Xuran's contemptuous look just now, because Ji Ran was directly pressed to the ground by me, and he felt a little embarrassed and tried to get up several times but failed.
Zhou Xuran was a little helpless to throw away the big bag in his hand, pulled me up from Ji Ran's body, and then helped Ji Ran up with me.
"Ji Gongzi, you have a good skin and look sturdy, I didn't expect it to be so unwinded, I am very disappointed in you."
"It's not that I haven't eaten yet, and I'm too tired from this mountain road, and my physical strength is overdrawn." It may be that I was a little faceless by what I said, and Ji Ran, who came to his senses, looked at me: "You are embarrassed to say that I am a good woman, I said that a good woman weighs no more than 100, you can tell me how many pounds you have, didn't you say that you lost weight some time ago?" Why is it still so heavy. I haven't eaten at night and it's so heavy, and I've never seen a woman as strong as you who can crush a man. ”
"It's because you're thin and blame me, I'm just a little over a hundred pounds, it's a standard figure."
"More than a hundred, so a dozen pounds is a little, it is estimated that no one can carry a strong woman like you."
My friendship with Ji Ran is like this, I don't bother to quarrel with him, because when he said this just now, I remembered that I was a little hungry, and I hadn't eaten anything from noon to now, because I was too busy to come back now: "I'm hungry, if I have anything to eat, maybe I have something to eat, and I will have the strength to move on." "I looked at Zhou Xuran with some pity." Well, I seem to have brought everything, but I forgot to bring food. Zhou Xuran looked at the two of us apologetically.
"Mr. Zhou has always been a style of not eating fireworks in the world, of course he doesn't need to eat." Ji Ran said poorly: "You still want to eat so fat, you can't be hungry if you eat less, I'm sure I can guarantee that the meat on your stomach can last for several days." I rolled my classic eyes at Ji Ran, too lazy to say more to him.
"We also rest for a while, we still have to continue to set off, we can't delay the time, the darker the day, the road is getting harder and harder, wait until we reach the halfway up the mountain and then concentrate on resting, Yinglin can't walk, I will carry you, and then insist on insisting."
Zhou Xuran handed the big and small bags in his hand to Ji Ran, "Come on, you can't delay." ”
Ji Ran picked up the luggage and looked at him, "You have to be mentally prepared, she is much heavier than she looks, I tell you the truth, it's not for nothing that I was crushed." ”
Ji Ran's sincerity on his face made me feel a little palpitating and weak-hearted, in case Zhou Xuran was also pressed by me, I would really be lost. I was a little hesitant and a little shy, and finally lay on Zhou Xuran's body. Zhou Xuran got up and set off on my back, he was much stronger than I thought, "Big brother, I admire you this time, it's really good." Ji Ran followed us.
"It's okay," Zhou Xuran didn't say much. I lay quietly on his back and felt his strength and sense of security, and really felt a sentence that my boyfriend was bursting, and it was the first time I had the joy of a little girl in my heart, and I felt weird.
Zhou Xuran carried me on his back for a while, and I saw that this section of the road was not very easy to walk, but fortunately, climbing this small steep slope really reached the flat land that Lao Xiao said halfway up the mountain, and we could rest. Zhou Xuran carried me on a lot of mountain roads, and I could feel that he was also a little struggling, and my physical strength had recovered a little. I whispered softly in his ear, "You're tired, let me down." "I got off his back and took the initiative to help them share the backpack luggage, and when we were physically exhausted, we finally crossed this small hill to the flat land halfway up the mountain, which was the same as Lao Xiao described, but I didn't expect that there were two tents here, and there were campfires and people sitting around.
There were four men sitting around the campfire, holding up the barbecue and drinking beer, but our arrival was a little abrupt.
"There are still people going up the mountain in the middle of the night, it's weird, and it's so scared that a few of our old men are scared." We just smiled politely, the journey was tiring, we were all tired, and the more important thing for the three of us at the moment was to quickly set up the tent and rest, and recover as soon as possible. We opened the luggage and equipment, except for Zhou Xuran who seemed skilled, Ji Ran and I were a little clumsy and didn't know where to start, this tent was far more difficult to set up than I imagined.
"You're well-equipped, but you don't seem to be very skilled. Let's help you out. "The four men seemed warm-hearted and got up to help us, and we didn't refuse.
"Girl, there are a few of us, your face doesn't seem to be too good, we have food there, it's already baked, go eat some, don't be embarrassed, replenish your strength, and only have the strength to go up the mountain tomorrow."
I sat by the campfire, I didn't feel hungry for too long, I drank a little water, took the grilled sausage and started eating, probably because I had been hungry for too long, I felt that they were very delicious. The body is also warmer, and the person is also in spirit. There was a lot of strength in the crowd, and the tent was set up in a short time. I looked at these strangers and became familiar with each other, and it didn't take long for me to get acquainted with Zhou Xuran and Ji Ran. After finishing their work, they also came to sit around the campfire one after another.
"Girl, it seems that you are hungry and have eaten a lot." There was a boy with black-rimmed glasses inside, who looked very gentle but liked to joke.
"It's so delicious." I smiled at him.
He sat down next to me, "Looks like you don't do this kind of outdoor exercise very often." ”
"How do you know?"
"For this kind of long-distance hiking trip that may require camping, your equipment is not ordinary, with such expensive and complete equipment, but you don't even prepare food for the night. The boy was more skilled when he pitched the tent, and you and the other looked like novices. ”
"You're really observing."
"Profession habits."
"What do you do?" I suddenly wondered why these people chose to go to the summit of Mashan Mountain.
"A few of us are doctors." My favorability towards these people instantly increased a little, saving lives and helping the wounded, no wonder they are so meticulous and warm-hearted.
"You're boarding to relieve stress?"
"Sort of."
"As a novice, it is also courageous to choose a difficult mountain on the road, and it should be gradual."
"What about you? Have you been here before?"
"No, we heard from our friends in the group of travelers, and the special beauty of the top of Mashan is a paradise. The road up the mountain is not easy to walk, for us this extreme challenge is the most interesting, the more adventurous the more exciting, the more you can release psychological pressure. Several of us are surgeons in the emergency room. We face life and death every day, and sometimes the situation of the patients sent is unimaginable, and the real situation is even more serious than in some images, so every once in a while we will take a few days off to go out to participate in this kind of mountaineering activity to release our inner emotions. "I looked at him and was able to imagine what they were going to do in the emergency room, and I was amazed.
"What do you do?"
"Edit." The man smiled, "I can't see that it's a young woman of literature and art." Which magazine are you from? ”
"Gonzo"
The man looked at me: "I can't see that you have such a personality, no wonder it's so dark at night and you're not afraid of night roads, It turns out that I was bold and practiced, I often read that magazine, and I used to read it for a while when I was in school, but unfortunately it was discontinued, but it was recently re-edited, and some of the stories in it were written quite interesting, I always felt that some of the content in it was written so really, maybe some of them were not stories but real events, which article have you written before, maybe I've read it." "I'm a little embarrassed, I just wanted to say that in fact, I've only been in this magazine for a few days, and my article hasn't been written yet, when the words came to my lips, Ji Ran and those people came bustlingly, and they still had a few bottles of red wine and whiskey in their hands.
"You were so weak just now, but you have strength so soon, I think you guys are quite happy to talk." Ji Ran sat beside me with a bit of yin and yang.
'Your boyfriend?' ’
"No, don't bother with him."
"I'm not his boyfriend, I'm my fiancé." After Ji Ran finished speaking, I rolled my eyes at him decisively.
"Don't talk nonsense at night, don't bother with him."
"Don't get me wrong, we're just chatting casually, nothing else." The doctor sat next to the men with some suspicion.
Why are you looking at me like this, how are you delaying your dewy marriage with a handsome guy. ’
"Ji Ran, if you talk like this, I won't pay attention to you, don't talk nonsense all day long, talk nonsense from time to time and say that I am your fiancée, I am not your fiancée, don't forget that you were sneering at me at that time, I can't afford it."
"Women are just careful to hold grudges, I'm not apologizing to you, and I regret it."
