Chapter 942: Wind and Snow
I believe in the experience and judgment of the leader, after all, I have been born and raised here for so many years, and I can say that I understand the subtlety of the environment in this area.
And I don't think this guy would take such a big risk to take on a job that he is not sure of.
In another half an hour, the number of snowflakes falling has increased significantly, and the wind is constantly developing.
No matter how tightly you cover it, you can clearly feel that the wind at the end of the air is like a tide constantly eroding people's bodies.
Pervasive, that's what I feel at this moment.
Not only the gaps on the clothes, but also the nose, eyes, and ears are constantly pouring cold air into them.
It was an extremely uncomfortable feeling, and we gradually lay on the back of the yak, trying to make our area in the wind as small as possible.
The exposed part of the face is also attached to the back of the yak, and in this case, it is to make yourself feel warmer.
Fortunately, we don't need to travel on our own in this situation, and now the wind and snow are a bit unexpected to me.
However, the leader in front of me still did not have any change in his complexion, and continued to rush forward, which made me feel a little more relieved.
Soon, in the process of advancing, the leader in front of him had stopped.
In front of me is an empty snowfield, and you can clearly see that there are no mountains around.
"Set up camp right here!" After the leader shouted, he immediately took out two huge rolls from both sides of the yak, and judging from the shape of this, it should be a tent inside.
"Go down and help!" Golden City shouted at us, and I immediately nodded and followed the others down.
The first step is to clear the snow from the ground, and try to keep the corners of the tent firmly attached to the ground, as deep and firm as possible.
The best way to camp in the highlands is not to choose an object with shelter, as in the desert.
Any sheltered rocks here have a thick accumulation of snow on them, and if an avalanche occurs in a blizzard, everyone can be said to be dead.
So the best place to set up camp is always such a plain.
The tents here are not like the shape of the normal tents sold in the market, but more like yurts.
The whole shape is almost cone-shaped, just above the snow.
This shape is designed to reduce the force on the tent in the air, and it is precisely because of this that the entire tent is not blown apart in high winds.
It is also possible to ensure that the top of the tip can be used as a ventilation position at all times.
It can be said that it is the crystallization of the wisdom of the local working people, which is very in line with scientific common sense.
The whole tent is not too complicated, and the space inside is very large, and it took a few of us about half an hour to set up a complete tent.
By the time the tent was fully erected, my whole hand had become a little stiff, and I guess the temperature here was close to minus 15 to 20 degrees Celsius in my current estimation.
Coupled with the pervasive cold wind and thin air, it can be said that it makes people extremely uncomfortable.
However, after entering the tent, he shivered twice, and the whole person could immediately feel a trace of warmth in the air.
It's not that the temperature inside the tent is high, it's just that the temperature inside and outside the tent can form a contrast.
"Wait a minute, I'll go and settle the yaks." After a moment, the leader in front of him looked inside the tent, nodded with satisfaction, and then stepped out of the tent.
It wasn't until he came back a moment later that he carried a few things that resembled oil lamps in his hands.
"This is a hand stove, one for each of you, light it and put it beside you."
I nodded when I saw the thing that the leader in front of me had brought me, and took one in an instant.
I've seen this thing before, and it's hanging on the side of a yak.
Now I can understand why yaks are used as a riding tool here, first of all, because yaks are large and have a wide back, so they can resist the wind and cold to the highest extent during the process of lying down.
At the same time, it can carry a lot of things, and it can really be said to be a rare highland boat.
In such an environment, if it weren't for the yak, I really couldn't think of anything that could be used as a substitute.
Even if you are an off-road vehicle, it is difficult to move forward in such a situation.
Immediately afterwards, the leader in front of him moved things into the tent one after another, and these things were hung on the yaks, which can be said to be a lot of miscellaneous things.
I noticed that there was not only food but also some drink.
"Butter tea, you taste it." At this moment, the leader of the road pulled out a can from the bag on the side.
The moment he opened the jar, I could immediately smell a special scent.
The guide poured these things into the small bowl in front of us in batches, and the special aroma came to our noses.
I slowed down for a moment, and immediately drank the butter tea from the small bowl.
There was a strong aroma of oil, and it seemed that the whole body was already warm the moment I drank it.
Living in highland areas, many foods are very high in calories to maintain the daily consumption of calories.
Butter tea is one such food.
After lighting the hand stove, I felt like my whole body was coming to life, and compared to the polar temperatures outside, the tent at this time could be said to be heavenly.
"This time we will be able to reach the destination of this trip for a while, so everyone needs to be prepared and recharged."
"Due to the blizzard weather, our trip is estimated to be delayed for about half a day, and in this half day or so, I hope you can adjust yourself."
At this moment, Gongfu Jincheng stood up and spoke, and it was obvious that he was the organizer of this reversal.
Hearing the words of the Golden City, I immediately nodded, these words actually don't need to be said, everyone here understands them very clearly.
This time things are indeed a bit strange, I am afraid that the danger we can encounter is not ordinary, in such a situation, it is natural that we need to do it now.
I know that.
