Chapter 10: The Cave



Trekking in the night when the wind and snow are raging is definitely a risky move, but it is not possible not to take risks at the moment, Feng Guang and Yan Dachuan have both seen the long-necked thing, and depicted it to the Uyghurs and Rehamman, the two were originally reluctant to trek at night, but when they heard the description of Feng Guang and the others, they didn't dare to stay longer.

The Uyghur people said straightly: "Mom, what the hell is that?" The neck is the same as that of a giraffe? He was probably imagining it in his head, and he didn't know what he had imagined, so he shivered violently, and then wrapped his clothes tightly.

It is very difficult to travel at night, the light of the flashlight is limited, and the snow-capped mountains that are used as coordinate points in the distance cannot be seen clearly, so it is very easy to get lost. In order not to make a mistake, Rehaman opened the way in front of him, and could only locate it by the occasional star.

The further you go, the deeper the snow becomes, and when you step on it for the last time, the snow goes straight into your calves, and sometimes you can't pull it out.

Seeing this, Rehaman was worried, and said, "No, it's too dangerous to go on like this." Now the snow layer is thick, and under this snowfield, there are frozen stones, and between the stones, many holes have been formed, and if you step on it heavily, the light ones will fall into the big holes. ”

Feng Guang drank white gas, his lips trembled, and said, "Light...... The light ones will fall into the grotto, and the serious ones will ...... What will happen? ”

"Serious?" Rehaman said: "Lucky to step on the big hole, at best it will fall, most of the grottoes below will not be too deep, there are snow pads, it is okay to fall, I am afraid of stepping on the small hole, stepping on the small crack between the stone and the stone, a foot down, ten **, the ankle will be broken, not to mention walking with the foot, it is difficult to get up." ”

Feng Guang was a little scared when he heard this, and his feet were not so neat, he looked at me and said, "Boss, why don't we take it easy?" ”

Before I could speak, Yan Dachuan scolded Rehaman and said: "Don't be alarmist in this person, our boss has never seen anything up the mountain and down to the sea, and he is afraid of a few grottoes?" As he spoke, he looked at me with a flattering look on his face.

Originally, I shouldn't have laughed at this juncture, but Yan Dachuan's flattering behavior was too blatant, like a pug wagging its tail, which made people can't help but be happy, so I said, "Not bad." ”

Yan Dachuan immediately frowned.

After a pause, I said, "But be careful, take out the sanitary napkins from your gear bag, stuff them all into your shoes, and wrap your ankles." ”

Yan Dachuan was stunned and said: "Boss, it turns out that you brought this woman's thing at the beginning, and there is this wonderful use, I thought it was ......" He didn't dare to finish his last sentence, Feng Guang was robbed by him for a while, and he had been waiting to catch his sore feet, and immediately said when he heard the words: "Why do you think so?" Do you think the boss is a? Or think the boss is intersex? ”

When I heard this, my face darkened.

What is his uncle, what is this? Is there such a slap on the boss's ass? Fortunately, I'm not the third uncle, if I were the third uncle's character, these two boys would definitely not be able to eat and walk around.

"Damn!" Yan Dachuan burst into a foul language and said: "I don't take you so wronged, I thought it was the boss's special hobby, the snowy mountains are so cold, and you don't have to get up to pee with this thing at night, and it will be solved in the bed." ”

I endured it again and again, but in the end I couldn't hold back, kicked Yan Dachuan, and said, "Stop, get things out quickly." ”

Feng Guang continued: "That is, if the boss really thinks so, it is not more convenient to bring diapers." After speaking, it is estimated that it is reflected, and hurriedly went to rummage through the equipment bag. These two people are talking nonsense and retreating along the way, sometimes it's really annoying to watch, sometimes it's funny, probably young people are like this, I don't come all the way with the fat man, it doesn't matter if you tear each other down, just don't pull your back legs when it's critical.

We pulled out our feet on the spot, took off our shoes and padbed sanitary napkins inside, our feet were frozen and numb, cold and stiff, although the shoes were waterproof skin, but the cold air penetrated into the shoes along the fine seams, and we always felt wet and cold.

As I didn't get enough sleep, and the trek was even more cold and sleepy, I made a promise to encourage everyone: "Walk through this snowfield at night, and set up camp after the snowfield, so that everyone can sleep well." ”

Sure enough, coercion is better than temptation, under extreme fatigue, everyone just wants to rest, and when they hear this, everyone gritted their teeth and walked forward as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

I walked at the end, shaking my flashlight from time to time to pay attention to the situation around me, that long neck was too strange, I was afraid that some unknown creature in the snowy mountains, I really couldn't take it lightly, but I don't know if that thing has given up on us, never to appear again.

After walking through the snow for about an hour, as Reharman said, almost all of us were hit, but fortunately we had stuffed something in our shoes to protect our ankles and reduce our strength, otherwise we would have tossed a few lame people.

I couldn't help but ask Rehaman, "How did you deal with this situation in the first place?" "I would think of preparing sanitary napkins because of the experience passed on by Chen Pi Ah Si, but the stuffy oil bottle ...... I don't think he's the one who prepares these things.

It took Reharman a long time to realize what I was asking, and he showed a look of sudden realization, and said, "Oh, that day...... There is no wind and snow, the snow layer is not thick, and we are walking during the day, and the sun shines through, and we can see the hollow under the snow layer. ”

I nodded, feeling that my luck was indeed very bad, why did I have to brave the cold wind to catch the night when the wind was beautiful when the stuffy oil bottle went up the mountain? When he passed through this snowy field, there was no danger, why did he come to me with a long neck?

I haven't been fighting for nearly two years, so it's hard that my moldy physique hasn't improved at all...... God must be playing with me.

After five or six hours of walking in the snowy night, by eight o'clock the next morning, the wind and snow had not stopped, and we had passed through the snow and entered the valley of two snow-capped mountains.

As soon as I stepped out of the edge of the snow, everyone turned to look at me, and with an almost fanatical gaze, I knew that I was already exhausted, so I nodded, and said, "Let's set up camp." ”

Everyone's faces were tired and exhausted, coupled with the torture of a night of wind and snow, the skin was red and scabbed, and they all looked like they were ten years old.

At this time, the young Feng Guang looked at the heavy snow clouds above his head, and said worriedly: "Boss, looking at the weather, I am afraid that this wind and snow will blow continuously, you see that the snow clouds on your head are still very thick, I am afraid that there will be a big storm today, and our tent may not be stable." ”

I understood what Feng Guang meant, he meant that even if the tent was set up, it might be swept away by the wind and snow in his sleep.

I nodded, and looked at Rehaman again, although Feng Guang is a geology major, but I trust experience more than a professional. After receiving my gaze, Rehaman nodded his head closely, and as he spoke, his mouth was white: "He is right, this storm is still increasing, let's set up a tent and it is estimated that it will not be stable, I know that there is a section ahead, there is a cave, but we have to spare some roads, let's go there first to avoid it, anyway, the food is full, it is not a day or two, boss, what do you think?" ”

By this time, everyone was exhausted, and even myself was cold and hungry, sleepy and tired, and there was no reason to refuse, so I nodded and let Rehaman lead the way.

Walking down the snow valley, there will be some slits formed by geological movements from time to time, and the jade veins that Rehaman said are also in a slit, I looked all the way down, each slit is almost the same, but from the distance, there is still a day's trip from the jade vein, and there are still two days to go from the cliff where Rehaman broke up with the stuffy oil bottle.

The landscape in the snow-capped mountains is monotonous, and there is no need to make a fuss about it.

After walking for about half an hour, a large slit suddenly appeared next to it, which was very eye-catching.

Rehaman said the cave was hidden in that slit.

We jumped in.

Although the slit was larger than the others, it was actually only two meters wide, and it was crowded when two people walked side by side, so we lined up in a column and walked all the way forward.

The slits twisted and turned, making people's heads big, and after a while, a cave appeared.

This cave is located in a slit, you don't have to face the wind and snow, it is really a good place, it is quite spacious inside, shaped like a gourd, the middle is relatively thin, and naturally forms two 'rooms'.

Everyone took out food and water, blocked the entrance of the cave with a raincloth, and felt that there was no more cold wind pouring in, so they sat around eating and drinking.

In fact, I think it's quite strange that the location of this cave is relatively hidden, and although Rehaman has entered it a few times, there is no possibility of finding it, how did he find it?

I didn't ask, but Rehaman took the initiative to explain as he ate.

He said that he had discovered this cave a long time ago, when he was working as a guide for the biological expedition, and encountered a hail snow, which is a kind of disaster snow unique to snow-capped mountains, more severe than a storm, because its snow is often mixed with hail of different sizes, and the wind is very strong, and it blows obliquely and violently on people's bodies, and when they touch it, they see blood.

When encountering hail snow, just near this slit, one of the members of the scientific expedition team, should also be engaged in geology, said that in this kind of crack, it is easy to form natural holes, and the top of the slit is convex, which is also considered to be blocked, and the group entered the slit and found this cave.

Rehaman pointed to an inconspicuous corner of the cave where there was a pile of blackened stuff that I could tell was burned out of solid fuel.

Rehaman sighed, "It has been raining for a long time, and we have been in this cave for a day and a night, and the gang is very kind, but unfortunately, we have not come back after entering." ”

Feng Guangdao: "Scientific research is all about paying risks, or how can people call them scientific researchers, how can we call them ...... What's the new word coming up with lately? He asked Yan Dachuan.

Yan Dachuan thought for a while, and said, "**Silk." ”

"Yes, **silk." Feng Guang touched his nose and began to flip through the equipment.

I was worried about the long neck, so although I was so tired that my eyelids were fighting, I still felt that I had to arrange a vigil, so I let everyone sleep first, and after a good night's sleep, Rehaman and Yan Dachuan got up to take over, I no longer dared to arrange Rehaman and the Uyghurs together, these two people seem to be quite reliable, but in fact they are quite unreliable.
