Chapter 3: Steep Slope Horror
To be honest, I'm too underestimated to walk here at night. We walked for more than half an hour, and I couldn't get sick anymore.
The most brutal thing was my feet, which felt like they were itching, as if they had severe athlete's foot and edema. I know, it's the cold.
I jumped every now and then to try to ease the situation. This made Yin Yin and them all see it.
I didn't say much, just asked the black man, "How long is it until we arrive?" ”
The black man thought about it and told me that he was only halfway there. I had a headache for a while.
After a while of this, we came to the bottom of a hill. The hill is long and steep, at least 30 degrees. It was covered with snow, as if it had been covered with a white quilt.
I looked at the hillside and was stunned, using a flashlight to strafe back and forth, and my heart said to my goodness, if we want to climb up, how slippery it is? Especially if you have a bald foot, won't rolling down cause serious injury?
I was stunned, the black man said a few words to cheer us up, but his words were not appropriate.
He told us, "This little slope is not a problem, there is an ice slope in Tibet, and the ice on it is like a mirror with oil, and if you want to go up that slope, you have to nail it with a steel cone little by little." ”
After listening to the black man's words, Iron Donkey and Yin Yin seemed to have made up their minds, and they immediately began to prepare.
Now that they are three to one, it is useless for me to oppose them, so I will bite the bullet. We didn't need to prepare steel cones for this snow climb, but the black man found a bundle of long rope and let us tie it around our waists together.
In this way, the four of us are a unit, and if we walk sideways, if someone is in danger, the others can use a rope to pull him back.
I really think this method is good, and after tying the waist rope, Yin Yin and I were divided into the middle position, and the iron donkey and the black man were on both sides.
We set off together in tacit understanding, and each climbed the snow slope. I found that I was climbing the slope despite it, but the slope was not easy to climb in different places, so I took advantage of it, and when I stepped on the snow, I could feel that there were a lot of small raised rocks underneath the snow. This allows me to borrow strength.
My hanging heart slowly relaxed, and I walked faster and faster, even surpassing others, and within the range allowed by the rope, I was a small step ahead.
About a quarter of an hour, we were halfway up the slope, and Yin Yin asked everyone if they were tired and if they would like to pause for a while.
In fact, this is mainly for me, the iron donkey and the black man have no intention of panting at all. I can't pretend to be too cowardly in front of Yin Yin, and in order to win her favor, I deliberately waved my hand, laughed, took out a spiritual head, and walked forward actively.
I didn't have a big problem doing this, but it must have made God unhappy, and he played me along.
I didn't take a few steps, but when I stepped on a piece of snow, I felt my legs swishing down.
My first reaction was that it was broken, there was a pit here! I thought it was too late to pump my legs, and I saw half of my body sink in. I complained bitterly, and even I was pessimistic that this pit was very deep, and I had to fall into it three or five meters at once?
But it wasn't that bad, I just sank into my waist and stopped. I was dancing my hands wildly, but I was suddenly stunted and couldn't help but bend forward.
The upper half of my body, including my face, was buried in the snow. At this moment, I was very cold, and the piercing feeling also drilled into my heart.
I hummed uncomfortably, the iron donkey and Yin Yin were on both sides of me, they all pulled the rope tightly, and I was taken by this force again, and the whole person slowly retreated.
When I stood on the edge of the pit and looked at the snow cave in front of me, I was so angry that I didn't know what to say, and wiped my face vigorously to get the snow away.
The black man rushed over and sighed at the snow cave.
I looked at the black man and asked him, since there was a hole on this snowy slope, why didn't he warn us earlier?
The black man replied with a very honest look, saying that he walked this snow slope every few days, and he had never encountered me in this situation. To prove his words, he shone a flashlight around again.
I did see footprints on the snow where no one had been seen, which indicates that someone had walked over it.
I thought about it, but I could only admit that I was unlucky, and I said that the whole fucking snow slope was just a pit, and I was on the ground.
We can't delay anything because of this little thing, and after a little rectification, we set off again.
This time our formation did not change, but I was not active anymore, and every time I left, I stepped on the snow with my feet and tried it a little.
I'm sure they thought there was just one pit on the slope, but as we went up more than a hundred meters, we found dozens of pits.
We don't know how deep these pits are, and their distribution is not regular, scattered.
We all saw the problem, and the iron donkey shouted for everyone to stop, and then went around to the original topic and asked the black man, "Kuroko, how do you explain this?" “
The black man circled his head vigorously, saying that he really didn't know, and when he came back with the dog in the afternoon, he hadn't done it yet.
But he also thought of a possibility and said to us, "Could it be that some animal dug it up?" ”
I went through it in my head, and I really didn't expect any animal to have such a penchant for digging so many holes on a snowy slope.
The iron donkey was not afraid of the cold, and squatted down violently, allowing it to be covered by snow. He reached out and felt the edge of the pit, and when he had done so, he straightened up again, shaking the snow and said, "The soil here is very hard from freezing." ”
This tells us that the possibility of animals digging holes is ruled out. We all frowned more or less and analyzed what was going on.
Before we could come to a conclusion, there was a trembling sound from the top of the slope. It's not like an earthquake, I was a little scared, but not to the point of panic.
The iron donkey also asked everyone not to mess around, and we used a flashlight to shine on it together.
At first, nothing out of the ordinary, but suddenly a black shadow appeared, and it quickly rolled down the slope.
I could see that it was a boulder, it had to be more than a man tall, and it was originally black, but after rolling on the snow slope a few times, it was wrapped in snow and became white, and because the snow on the outside reduced its friction, it rolled faster and faster.
And I calculated the course again, and said to myself, "Isn't this boulder coming at us?" Especially for Yin Yin and the black man. If they don't hide all the time, won't it be easy to be crushed by it?
I reminded them loudly.
We are now all connected by ropes, which was a clever plan, but now that we look at it, it has caused us to have difficulty moving.
The black man and Yin Yin both had ideas, and at this moment they quickly moved and unloaded the rope from their waists.
The black man is a veteran climber on the slopes, and he suddenly uses a very strange movement, at first glance he looks like an African ostrich, and he twists his body and runs up the slope.
He was not slow, and hid directly far away, avoiding the route of the boulder rolling. Yin Yin looked relatively inferior, hunched over his waist and feet, took out a cat-like movement, and leaned towards me and the iron donkey little by little.
We couldn't get together to help, and we couldn't help if we wanted to.
I could only keep waving my hand to cheer her on. Yin Yin lived up to expectations, and when the boulder was far away from us, he rushed over to join me and the iron donkey.
I didn't take the opportunity to take advantage of anything, so I grabbed her and asked a few words while I was concerned.
Yin Yin answered a few times. But the danger was not touched, or we did not expect it, when the boulder suddenly changed direction and came straight for us.
It's less than 100 meters away from us. It's also very fast. I was dumbfounded, and then a thought popped into my head, escape!
We didn't have anyone to remind us, so we were the first to act. The iron donkey ran to the left, and Yin Yin ran to the right. But there are hidden pits around it, and if we are not careful, it is easy to step on them. So Iron Donkey and Yin Yin escaped very slowly.
I looked left and right, and my heart said which way I should go? Especially no matter which way you go, it is invisibly equivalent to grabbing the road with them.
In the end, I was ruthless and made a bold decision, and my heart said that I would go down first, get out of the way for a while, and then walk sideways, and fork from the iron donkey and Yinyin.
I did it right away. Theoretically, I had enough time to do this, but the problem was that I went down and sideways, and before I could take five steps, I stepped into a deep pit.
The pit was bigger than anything I'd ever encountered before, and I was all in it at once, and it was almost up to my chest.
I wanted to climb up for a while, and it was difficult.
I turned my head to look at the boulder, which was only more than ten meters away from me, and my pupils shrank sharply when I saw its huge size.
I urged myself to find a way, otherwise I would be a human pie in a moment.
*****************
Tibet, as I have written before, is about the Yarlung Zangbo Motuo, where the Grand Canyon is the last secret place of mankind.
And this time I want to write about that song, which is not as mysterious as the Grand Canyon, but it is necessary to combine the legend of Tibet, the peak temple on the spear of the sky to unfold the plot.
I don't know if I can write about it, but I hope I can write about that atmosphere.
Tibet: blue sky, white clouds, snow-capped mountains, the mysterious ...... Heaven......
