Chapter 69: Up the Mountain

"You can't hide your liking for this thing, and sometimes, often you cover your mouth and it will come out of your eyes. ”

Luo Yi looked at me with a smile, as if there were stars flashing in his eyes.

"I see. I nodded in realization.

Luo Yi's words are very right, yes, I really like Wang Meng, otherwise how could I pay attention to his whereabouts all the time, and even a kiss he gave me, I can't forget to blush and heartbeat.

I have decided, this time after finding the Millennium Snow Lotus for Wang Meng and healing his injuries, I will definitely tell him my heart in person.

Whether he likes me or not, I'm going to say it.

The next day, I got up early to pack my things, and then went to school to ask for leave, ready to embark on the journey to Kunlun Mountain.

"Be careful on the road, Dad is not by your side, you must take good care of yourself. “

Before leaving, my father gave me another 2,000 yuan, saying that he would let me take everything he wanted, saying that it was just in case.

"Dad, no need, I haven't used up the 1,000 yuan last time, and I'm not going shopping, where can I use so much money." “

I repeatedly refused, thinking that it would not be easy for the family to rely on my father alone, and I didn't want to accept this money.

After my grandfather died, he was the only one in the family who struggled to support him, and although our life was still not very good, it was a joy for me to see my father's changes.

However, at my father's strong insistence, I ended up taking it.

Soon, Jiang Shuai drove a car to pick me up. My father helped me carry my bag to the entrance of the village.

"Go back, Dad. I waved at my dad.

The house behind me became smaller and smaller, and finally, my father's figure also disappeared at the end of the road.

Since I didn't take a long leave from school this time, we were very short on time for this trip to Kunlun Mountain.

The Kunlun Mountains stretch across Xinjiang and Tibet, and for me, who grew up in a small southern town, I was thrilled to look at the fading green and sparsely vegetated desert along the way.

However, when the vehicle just drove to Tibet, the group encountered a problem, because the departure was in a hurry, so a lot of things were not prepared, which directly led to the big problem we are now encountering - the lack of oxygen on the plateau.

"Are you all right? Luo Yi on the side was not affected, and eagerly looked at me and Jiang Shuai who were deprived of oxygen due to strong altitude sickness.

"It's not a big problem, fortunately, I just prepared an oxygen cylinder in my strength, otherwise I would really have to die." Jiang Shuai waved his hand and hurriedly took out the oxygen cylinder from the trunk.

"Would you like to take a sip?" Jiang Shuai handed me the oxygen cylinder, my feeling of lack of oxygen was not very strong, but the reaction to motion sickness along the way was more serious, so in order not to waste precious oxygen, I did not inhale.

"Luo Yi, you only told me that the thousand-year-old snow lotus was in Kunlun Mountain, but how to find it, where to find it?" I took a sip of water, slightly calming the feeling of churning in my stomach.

"When I was alive, I heard that Kunlun Mountain is where the dragon veins are, so there are many precious medicinal materials full of aura, and the thousand-year-old snow lotus is the best of the best, the legend is that the thousand-year-old snow lotus is guarded by the snake, and the snake likes the cold, as long as you go to the coldest area and find the nest of the snake, you will be able to find the traces of the thousand-year-old snow lotus. “

Luo Yi thought for a long time and said a way to find the thousand-year-old snow lotus.

However, after so many years, science and technology are also constantly developing, a thousand years ago, Kunlun Mountain, at this time has been developed a lot by modern civilization, can we really find the legendary millennium snow lotus?

"I'm afraid that after thousands of years, maybe the snake has long disappeared. I looked at Luo Yi with a worried expression.

"No, since the dragon vein is located, even if it takes a long time to have spiritual energy nourishment, but according to what you said, it will definitely be difficult to find, but it's not impossible. Luo Yi said as he made a gesture of encouragement to me.

"Well, anyway, we'll have to give it a try. I nodded, regaining my confidence.

Soon, we drove to the hinterland of Kunlun Mountain, although Jiang Shuai specifically checked the geography this time, knowing that the cold terrain of Kunlun Mountain is complex, so he drove a Land Rover with strong off-road performance.

However, at this moment, in the face of this frozen ground, the Land Rover was also skidding, and there was no way, so we had to stop the car and plan to walk into the mountain.

Jiang Shuai put the tent and oxygen cylinder in the trunk and other heavy materials in his backpack on his back, leaving me with some lighter materials such as food and winter clothing.

After carrying the necessary things from the car, our group began to go up the mountain.

At first, looking at the scenery of the continuous snow-capped mountains, I still felt very novel, this endless snow-capped peaks, it looks very majestic, and people can't help but feel the great rivers and mountains of the motherland.

However, when we walked for about three hours, we looked back at the top of the mountain, and we found that we had not reached the top after walking for so long, and we were a little deflated.

"If you want me to say, we are still reckless when we come here this time, just the two of us, and we even forgot to call a guide. Jiang Shuai put down the backpack on his body and sat on the ground, obviously tired.

"I'm not human, how can I talk!" Luo Yi looked east and west along the way, but he was not affected at all, and shouted at Jiang Shuai.

"Come on, you're a god, you're a man. Jiang Shuai shook his head at Luo Yi.

"There's no way, if you come, you will be safe, the injuries on my body can't be delayed, but I accidentally affected you. "Although I said so, I was very eager to find the thousand-year-old snow lotus as soon as possible and wake up Wang Meng.

"What's polite to me, don't say it's coming to Kunlun, let me tell you, I'm willing to ask me to accompany you to the sword mountain and the sea of fire, how about it, it's enough buddy!" Jiang Shuai touched his chin and said to me with a smile.

"Hahaha, that's enough, buddy, don't climb first, it's not early, let's find a flat terrain and a windy place to rest for the night." I looked at my watch, and although it was only four o'clock, it was already dark, and the wind was already howling, and the temperature had plummeted.

Jiang Shuai nodded when he heard this, and immediately took out the tent from his bag, and after tinkering for a long time, he finally set it up.

I took out the compressed fuel and started a fire, and when everything was done, I looked at the daylight and it was already dark.

I beckoned Jiang Shuai to come over and sat down in front of the fire together, roasting the fire while eating the fast food I brought.

"The food, water and fuel we brought are only enough for the two of us for five days, and it is already our limit to bring so much, so this time the time to go up and down the mountain is two days, and after subtracting, the time really left for us to find the thousand-year-old snow lotus is only three days. ”

"Within three days, whether we find any trace of the snake or the snow lotus, we will have to go down the mountain, otherwise, we will not have a guide, and when the time comes, if we get lost on this mountain or run out of food and water, it will be called that the earth and the earth will not be spiritual. ”

I was eating compressed biscuits while talking to Jiang Shuai and Luo Yi.

The two of them nodded when they heard this, and neither spoke again, at this moment, the surroundings were already completely dark, as if only the bonfire in front of us was left in the world, emitting a faint light.

"The situation is unknown at night, it's best not to go out of the tent, the two of us take turns to stand guard, I'll stand in the middle of the night, Luo Yi, you don't have to sleep anyway, you stand in the middle of the night." Jiang Shuai watched the two of us divide the work.

Luo Yi listened to Jiang Shuai's words, and this time he rarely refuted, but nodded to reassure us.

"Thank you, I'm going to go to bed first. I pointed to the tent and went inside.

As soon as I got in, I felt the comfort and warmth inside, I was tired of sleeping in the usual bed, but I didn't expect it to be very comfortable to sleep in the tent.

I looked at my watch, it was past ten o'clock at the moment, and hurriedly got into my sleeping bag and closed my eyes.

I don't know how long I slept, but I was woken up by the sound of a bulging belly. Touching my hungry belly, I got dressed sleepily and got out of the tent to see that it was already dawn.

In the early morning, the Kunlun Mountains were still shrouded in a vast mist, but the temperature was really low, and as soon as I came out to feel the temperature outside, I felt as if I was wearing a short sleeve in a winter night.

"Wear more, the temperature difference between day and night here is really big, and it should be fine when the sun comes out. At this time, Jiang Shuai was in hot water, and when he saw me coming out, he hurriedly said.

"Nothing happened last night, did you?" I got dressed and sat down by the fire.

"Nothing, I thought there would be some avalanche like in the TV series, what about the wolves, but as a result, I fell asleep calmly and nothing happened. Jiang Shuai shrugged and said to me.

"Big brother, it's October, you're not sick in the brain, where did the avalanche come from. I gave him a blank look.

"Let's continue to go up the mountain today, we can still see the snowy mountain like this, let's just climb up the snowy mountain, I don't believe I can't find the snake." Jiang Shuai clenched his fists.

"Hey, I should have found a guide, or I wouldn't be running around like a headless fly like I am now. After Jiang Shuai finished speaking, he sighed again, looking sad.

"Come on, it's better to drink more hot water to save up enough strength if you have time to sigh there, don't talk so much when you go to the snow mountain, otherwise you will feel better, and the other is that you can't speak loudly, otherwise it will cause an avalanche, and we will all have to finish." ”

Jiang Shuai has always been unreliable, and I am not at ease with him, so I have no choice but to repeatedly explain the precautions.

Jiang Shuai nodded, didn't say anything more, and then handed me a cup of hot water.

"Eat something to cushion your stomach, and then pack your things and get ready to continue up the mountain. "I drank hot water and ate a few compressed biscuits on it.

I have to say that compressed biscuits are really a great invention of human beings, not to mention that they do not take up space, and they are full, the only drawback is that they are not hungry, but it is not bad to be able to do this.

I smacked my lips and ate a few more pieces of my stomach, and finally, the feeling of emptiness in my stomach was gone, replaced by a full feeling of fullness.
