Chapter 65: Dead Fight
The shuttle docked at the airport, the side door of the cabin opened, and Ye Xingchen got off the shuttle with Zhu Ren, the fat man who got his package back and was happy.
A small town at the entrance to the Himalayan Mountaineering Scenic Area, the town is limited by the terrain and cannot be expanded, but the wealth that tourism brings to the townspeople makes the town look magnificent.
As one of the few places in the world where you can go on an adventure, the annual traffic is really high.
But that was the peak season, and now it's about to enter the off-season, after all, winter in the northern hemisphere can make climbing a little more difficult.
"Brother Ye, when are we going up, do you want to stay here for one night?" The fat man Zhu Ren asked.
"It's not noon yet, so let's leave right away to save time, right?" Ye Xingchen looked at the time and asked the fat man Zhu Ren's opinion.
"No problem, if you say it's going to be a long time, I'll follow you." The fat man Zhu Ren put the things on the ground and said with a big grin.
"Then you can rest here first, and I'll go and see the route."
According to his memory of the last time he came here, Ye Xingchen found the information office of the scenic spot, and an old man with slightly white hair in front of the window was dozing.
"Hello, can I please consult?"
The old man opened his eyes and saw Ye Xingchen standing in front of the window, grinning embarrassedly.
"I'm sorry, I'm sleepy when I'm old, what do you want to ask, young man, there's nothing I don't know about here." The old man said.
"I want to inquire about a camp, I can't remember the number, but I can name some of the characteristics of the camp......" Ye Xingchen told the terrain and interior decoration of the camp in his memory.
"Oh, I see, just rush to this only camp that entered the closed camp early, I'm sure I won't forget it!" The old man slapped his thigh and brought a worn-out map from behind him, densely marked with all kinds of information.
In this era, this kind of old paper map is really uncommon, everyone uses online digital maps, and few people still use this kind of map.
"No, here, it's not me who said, your decoration company is too unprofessional, send two people every three or five times, and you can forget the camp number!" The old man chattered.
Yes? Ye Xingchen looked blinded.
"Also, you help me tell the boss of this camp, although the camp is deep in the mountains, there is little traffic, and it can't be closed so early, even if you want to renovate, you don't have to be in such a hurry, it's not too late to start in November, why start in August, how much money do you have to make less......" The old man turned on the chatter mode, and saw that the posture would not be ready to stop for a while.
"Hey, uncle, I still have things, these things can be contacted directly through mobile phone communication, and I have said goodbye to uncle!" Ye Xingchen quickly left the old man's sight as if he had fled, otherwise he felt that it would be impossible to set off today.
"Hey, hey, I haven't finished talking yet, I don't understand what kind of mobile phone I can't play......"
Ye Xingchen has already got the information he needs, and the rest will be handed over to the mobile phone smart navigation.
Just now I heard the old man at the consultation office say that this camp is in a state of early closure, and there will be people going up every three or five days, which made Ye Xingchen have some ideas.
Those people must have been summoned by a mysterious girl to the Himalayas and gathered at the camp as renovation workers.
It seems that that place is not suitable for taking fat people to go, and if you don't do it, it will hurt fat people, and the place you want to go to is already dangerous.
Ye Xingchen returned to the place where he was separated from the fat man before, the fat man Zhu Ren was still sitting on the luggage, he was staring at the projection of his mobile phone and smirking, and even saliva flowed to the ground, attracting sideways glances from pedestrians.
"Hey!" Ye Xingchen patted the fat man on the shoulder.
"Ah, you're back, when are we leaving?" The fat man came back to his senses and wiped the remaining saliva from the corners of his mouth.
"I suggest you go find a mountaineering team to go with, the place I'm going to is not for you."
"What, Brother Ye, I know you, and I don't know anyone else, you can't leave me alone!"
"We've only known each other for two hours, okay, you're really not fit to follow me all the way."
Ye Xingchen didn't give the fat man Zhu Ren a chance to refute this time, and left directly and quickly, disappearing from the fat man Zhu Ren's field of vision.
Now he needs to find a shop to buy some necessary supplies.
Ye Xingchen came to the store where he bought the utensils last time, and the boss he had met in front of the counter in the store was still the one he had met.
"Welcome, hey, little brother, it's a little familiar."
"I've been here once."
"Ah, repeat customers, how about it, the things sold in my store are carefully selected, and there will be no quality problems!" The boss boasted.
"I need everything I need for camping, get me a set."
"Okay...... Ay...... Little brother, are you sure it's a set?"
Ye Xingchen nodded with certainty.
"Little brother, you are preparing to climb the mountain by yourself, I must warn you, this is dangerous!" The boss was very enthusiastic to remind him that he didn't want people to go in and not be able to get out, and he had one less repeat customer.
"The owner...... Whoosh...... Give me a set too, I'm with this little brother. The fat man gasped and rushed in from outside the store.
Ye Xingchen was a little surprised, he deliberately took a detour to come here, in order to get rid of him, how did this fat man catch up.
"That's right, there's a response on the road." The boss didn't shirk it this time and took out two sets of mountain camping equipment.
Ye Xingchen took the equipment and was about to leave, when the fat man saw that the big thing was not good, this thing was going to run, so he directly hugged Ye Xingchen and hugged Ye Xingchen's shoulder.
This plan almost didn't make Ye Xingchen vomit out the overnight meal.
"You can't leave me alone!"
"Ahem...... You let go...... Get your fat out of front of my eyes!"
"I don't, unless you agree!"
"Okay, but I'll have to ask for your opinion again." In order to survive, Ye Xingchen had to compromise.
The fat man Zhu Ren let go of his arm, Ye Xingchen almost fainted on the spot while holding on to the door frame of the storefront, the existence of the fat man itself is a continuous blood loss buff, and it is easy to be killed in seconds if he gets too close.
A map is projected from their phones in front of the two men, with destinations and recommended routes.
"As you can see, I'm going deep into the Himalayas, and if I follow the recommended route, I'll pass through at least five camps and it will take me five days, and if I go straight to my destination, I'll only need to travel three days." Ye Xingchen explained.
"You want to take a shortcut?" The fat man Zhu Ren understood.
"That's right, the supplies are sufficient, I don't want to waste time, you can choose not to go with me for excitement."
"I said I'd follow you, exciting or something, I like it the most!" The fat man Zhu Ren exclaimed excitedly.
Ye Xingchen felt helpless, how could he get into trouble with such a difficult guy, it seemed that he could only think about it in the long run.
