Drifting Sand in the West Chapter 39 Avalanche 2
"Snowballs are falling on this mountain. At this time, it will take people's lives. "I scolded as I ran. It seems that this snow-capped mountain is not so calm on the surface, and it really plays itself to death here. Because there are no camels that carry so many things on our backs, we don't run as neatly as before. But at the same time, we don't have to take care of the camels, so it's hard to say what the pros and cons are.
The snowballs on the mountain are getting bigger and bigger, and they keep falling around us, and they are a big hole when they hit the ground. At the same time, the icicles on the cliff kept falling, clattering and falling to the ground, like glass ballast. The hardness of this thing is incomparable to that of a snowball. As we ran, we kept an eye on the icicles on the cliff face to avoid being scratched by them.
"Boom ......" large snowdrifts poured down, instantly burying the flat ground behind. In the face of this power, it instantly feels how small we are.
Suddenly, Li Tong behind him seemed to have tripped over something, and the whole person saw that he was about to plunge into the snowdrift. Brother Li hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her hands with difficulty. But because there is snow under his feet, it is difficult for Brother Li to find a point of focus. I shouted as I ran back: "Cannon, hurry up and help Brother Li." Without the slightest hesitation, the cannon went directly to Brother Li, and finally pulled her out of the snow pit with the combined efforts of the three of us.
When Li Tong was pulled out of the snow pit, his whole body was covered with snow. And she was shivering from the cold. But it was not yet time for us to rest, and we were still forty or fifty meters away from the end of the cliff.
"Boom......" suddenly felt as if there was movement in front of us. I didn't have time to think about it, I asked the cannon to hold Li Tong's backpack, and I hurriedly carried her on my back and ran forward desperately. It was already difficult to walk alone in knee-deep snow, but now that I have a person on my back, you can imagine how difficult it is to walk. The worst thing is that every step under my feet feels like I can't find the center, and the soles of my feet are slippery all the time.
Finally, after walking less than 100 meters, my feet slipped, and I fell directly to the ground, while Li Tong pressed heavily on my body. There was a sharp pain in my legs, but I didn't have time to think about the pain in my body, and I didn't even have time to shoot off the snow on my body, so I hurriedly ran forward with Li Tong on my back.
"You just brought me down. Otherwise, we'll all die here. Li Tong pleaded weakly on his back. I took a hard step and said firmly, "No, I must take you out." After saying that, he didn't think of him, and ran forward vigorously. Cannon and Brother Li helped me clear the obstacles in front of me while running.
Although it was less than 100 meters away and it took 10 minutes to walk, luckily none of us were injured by the falling snowballs and icicles. It took a lot of effort to finally carry Li Tong out of the cliff. "I'm exhausted." Lying on the ground, he wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hands. The cannon and Brother Li spread the kraft paper on the ground and helped Li Tong up.
Ignoring the snow on the ground, I just lay on it, my head dizzy, and I felt that my legs were no longer my own. Due to falling into a snow pit before, Li Tong was scratched on the calf of his left foot, and a long blood mark remained on the leg, and there was some bruising around it. Ignoring the exhaustion of my body, I quickly took out the medicine for bone-prevention from my backpack and applied the medicine to the wound.
After resting for more than ten minutes, I saw that Li Tong's physical condition had improved slightly, and our physical strength had almost recovered. Seeing that the time was already twelve o'clock at noon, I took out some canned food, biscuits, pickled pepper phoenix feet, dried beans and other foods from my backpack and put them on the kraft paper in the middle, and the cannon and Brother Li also took out the food they prepared and put it on the kraft paper in the middle. At the same time, Brother Li took it out of his backpack
Although our food was relatively simple, everyone had a lot of fun. In particular, the care of the two wounded, Li Tong and Brother Li, is not less at all. Half an hour later, Li Tong's state had recovered, but it was still a little inconvenient to walk, but time waited for no one, and we had to continue walking.
From time to time, a mountain towers into the clouds. Judging from the previous positioning and the display on the map, this should be Borilang Everest. From the foot of the mountain to the mountainside to the place covered by clouds, all but some places where the rocks are exposed are covered with thick snow.
From time to time, the sun shines directly down from the clouds at the top of the mountain, and the mountain seems to be plated with a layer of gold, shining under the sun. What's even more bizarre is that there is something similar to the Buddha's light on the top of the mountain, which makes people yearn for it.
Speaking of Buddha light, I went to the golden summit of Mount Emei with my college classmates once, and we stayed on the top of the mountain for a week, and got up at five o'clock every morning just to see the appearance of this Buddha light. After several days of not being able to see the light of the Buddha due to the weather, the ancient saw the long-awaited light of the Buddha in the morning before leaving.
And this time I was able to see the long-lost Buddha light here, and the excitement in my heart is self-evident. Brother Li put his backpack on the ground, knelt on his knees and bowed several times in the direction of Mount Everest, closing his eyes and muttering something from time to time, what should he be praying. The three of us were all curious about Brother Li's move.
Soon Brother Li opened his eyes and found that the three of us were looking at him curiously. Brother Li picked up the backpack on the ground and put it back on his back, patted the snow on his body and said with a smile: "A monk who sprayed a Tibetan land in Yecheng County before, and also followed him to Tibet several times to worship the mountain (1), and today I saw this sacred mountain here that can emit Buddha's light. ”
The cannon said excitedly: "I didn't expect Brother Li to have this kind of experience, I really didn't see it." Brother Li smiled faintly and said, "It's all old things, not worth mentioning." ”
The cannon said in a pleading tone: "Brother Li, when will you take me too." After hearing this, Brother Li shook his head and said, "Worshipping the mountain is not as simple as you think, and you need to experience unimaginable pain in the middle. After speaking, put away the piety just now and continue to move forward.
As we go all the way, the temperature gets colder as we review the manuscript at altitude. In addition to the snow, there is basalt surrounded by blowholes (2). In addition to the mountain peaks, a crater stands out, and the center of the crater has been covered with snow and ice due to years of geological activity. This peculiar landscape can only be seen in this distant Tianshan Mountains, otherwise there will be Wang Anshi's sentence "And the world's wonders, wonders, extraordinary views, often lie in the danger of the distance, and people are rare, so those who are not aspiring can not reach it." (3) What about the classic quotes?
Note: (1) Mountain worship is a kind of pilgrimage activity engaged in by Tibetans, including Tibetan Buddhist monks.
(2) Basalt, a rock that has been developed through volcanic activity.
(3) Seen in Wang Anshi's "Journey to Bao Zen Mountain".
