Chapter 9: A Snowy Night
Stepping on the soft snow, I felt a chill, and as I continued to go up, the ground began to slip a little, and our speed began to slow down, and I shivered unconsciously as a cold wind blew. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Fortunately, we all prepared cotton clothes, otherwise, if we come to such a place, we will probably freeze to death if we don't reach our destination." Locke took out the padded coat from his bag, then draped it over his body and muttered.
"It's good now, if it's online, it is estimated that it is useless for you to wear cotton clothes, this mountain is more than 5,000 meters above sea level." I didn't look up, I just answered.
He looked at me in surprise, "I didn't expect you to know this." ā
I shook my head, didn't speak, just walked forward on my own.
The snow is getting thicker and thicker, and what we can see in front of us has become a white expanse, and we can't tell the direction at all, but fortunately there is only one road here, and we slowly move forward along this snow road.
I don't know how long I walked, the air in the snowy mountains became colder and colder, and all the people who used it changed into cotton clothes and hats, and stopped at a place leaning against the mountain.
After a long walk, we were a little overwhelmed by such a cold weather.
After finding a place, we took out all the tents we had prepared for the future, dug holes in the snow with ice axes, and erected all the tents that had been prepared.
This time I came to Snow Mountain, counting me, there were a total of sixteen people, and we brought eight tents, a group of two people just happened to be able to stay, and when I entered the tent, I felt much better, at least it was not as cold as before, and Xia Ziqiang was assigned to my tent and cleaned up by himself.
The two of us lit the oil lamp and cleared most of the snow inside before we took out our sleeping bags and laid them out, because I didn't know how cold it was, so I bought the best sleeping bags in the store.
After tidying up, we went outside, and the rest of the people were almost packed, and near the mountain, we found a place to sit down, and then Locke called two of his men to take out the kerosene and charcoal we had brought, and then put an iron bucket in front of us, and after putting the charcoal in the iron bucket, after pouring the kerosene into it, and lighting the kerosene, after a while, all the charcoal was lit, and the surroundings instantly warmed up.
"I can only go here today, if I go inside, it's too cold, let's rest here for the night today, and we'll set off early tomorrow morning." Locke looked at the crowd around him and sighed.
"And how far are we from our destination? It's been a long time. A middle-aged man in the team looked at Locke suspiciously.
Locke took out the map and looked at it for a while with a flashlight, "Judging from the current location, it shouldn't be too far, and the specific distance depends on how we go." ā
"It won't take long according to the normal route, but don't forget, we're in the snowy mountains," I said lightly, glancing up at Locke.
"Also, can you be sure that where we are now? This snow-capped mountain is a dragon vein, and the position we are in now is in the middle of the dragon vein, and the direction you are pointing in is the direction to the tail of the dragon vein, I think if you follow the direction you said, even if we go to the old and dead, we will not be able to reach the ancient tomb you said. ā
He looked at me with wide eyes and an ugly expression, "How... How is it possible, we are following the location on the map, how can it be wrong" He was still a little unconvinced.
"Believe it or not, if you want to go that way, I won't stop you, but I'll choose my own path." With that, I stood up and walked in the direction of my tent.
"Yu... Mr. Yu, wait a minute. Locke quickly got up, and then shouted loudly behind him.
I stopped, turned to look at him, and said, "What's wrong?" ā
"What do you say about this, I listen to you, where do you say we should go?" He flattered me and said a word.
"Let's talk about it tomorrow, I'm tired right now and need to rest." I deliberately didn't pick him up, they didn't take me seriously all along, I know, and if he comes to me in the current situation, then I will have the initiative. I didn't stop, I didn't stop and walked straight to the tent.
In the echoing tent, I climbed into the sleeping bag without even taking off my clothes, and after a while, my body warmed up.
"Why did you just say that!" Just as he was about to go to bed, Xia Ziqiang came in, and he looked at me with a somewhat unsightly face and said something.
"Why can't I say that, I'm saying that, how do you know I'm wrong?" I stared at him.
"Our map was found from the tombs, and there could be no mistake, but you say we're on the wrong track." He said a little stubbornly.
I shook my head, I was still a kid after all. "This snow mountain is a day of dragons, and all the tombs will be built in the dragon vein of the dragon head position, where is the best position of the dragon vein feng shui dragon qi, and our current location is in the middle of the dragon vein, and the direction pointed out by Locke is just the opposite of the position of the dragon head, although you don't understand, but I am studying these every day, I think your sister should have told you that I understand feng shui." I looked at him with a smile.
"I...."He was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to reply to me.
"It's better to hurry up and sleep now, save your strength, tomorrow is still a long way." After that, I turned my head away from him, and reasoning with a child was the most upsetting.
The cold wind on the plane was blowing endlessly, but we slept soundly in the tent, although it was still a little cold, but this cold did not affect the rest of a tired person at all.
The night in the snowy mountains is much brighter than outside, because there is moonlight shining on the snow, and the reflected light makes the whole snow-capped mountains very bright. In the wind and snow in the distance, there were a few white figures wandering around, slowly, the white figures more and more, more and more, and slowly almost surrounded the eight tents standing there alone.
The white figures stopped not far from the tent, not knowing what they were doing.
"Shhh
A man's voice came from one of the outermost tents near the outskirts, "Damn, this damn weather, I'm freezing to death." The man in the tent got up from his sleeping bag, as if he was in a hurry to urinate, and he slowly climbed out of the tent, completely oblivious to the white figures around him.
"Ahh
