Chapter 91: Waiting (2)
"Marshmallows? Are you hungry? It is said that it is the feeling of going to heaven with the eyes and hell with the body. Why don't I see you feeling the latter? And you can't have been in altitude training before, right? Gu Youli asked.
"I don't need any training, because I belong here!" Bai Zezhi said with a smile.
"Blow it!" Gu Youli scoffed.
"By the way, don't you even have to work? Just came here from California? Is that okay too? ”
"Of course. That's part of the job, **oss approved mine. A great designer needs inspiration the most. That's why I'm going to come to this world of wind and snow where the mountains of the plateau are high, the air is thin, and the mystery is magical; To this world that biologists call 'permafrost', to this world that Westerners call 'the third pole of the earth', to this pure white world with the people I love the most. ”
Gu Youli's tone gradually exaggerated. He always can't help but want to express his heart, but he wants to embellish this serious heart into a bit of a joke.
Bai Zezhi rolled his eyes. Gu Youli said: "You look so good when you roll your eyes." After the sycophant was finished, he continued to gush: "Do you know that a large number of explorers have disappeared here; may encounter wolves, and will be chased to death; It is also possible to suffocate your breath in the ice crevices, in a blizzard, and solidify into the last wisp of a wandering soul...... Even if it is so dangerous, I still have to come without hesitation, because there are people I love here. ”
Gu Youli said this with a little playfulness at the beginning, but as he spoke, he gradually put away his smile and became serious. Contrary to his usual joking attitude, he said the last sentence with great affection. He looked at Bai Zezhi's eyes, and gradually deepened.
When Bai Zezhi heard him say these words, she also listened to them with a joking mentality at first, she thought that he looked like he had grown up, but in fact, he was still so poor and funny. However, with the change of Gu Youli's expression, the change in her eyes, and the change in her tone, she couldn't help but put away her smile, and even became a little nervous.
Just when the atmosphere became more and more subtle, the sound of a propeller broke the silence of the snowy mountain.
They looked back together, and Sen in the tent heard the sound and had already run out. It turned out to be a helicopter that delivered supplies.
All three ran over to unload the cargo, mostly some fresh food. The helicopter said there was still a hill to deliver, and then flew away.
As they sorted out their supplies, they said that they could prepare a good dinner and await their triumph. All afternoon, they were almost busy with dinner.
At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, snowflakes began to fall in the sky. After that, it turned into goose feather snow. Gradually, the footprints they had left on the ground, the footprints left by the helicopter before, were covered and disappeared.
Although the snowflakes are beautiful, at this time, this place is a symbol of danger.
Sen talked to Gu and Bai in English, saying that this weather may not be good for the summit, but they should be on the way down the mountain at this time, hoping for good luck.
However, by seven o'clock in the evening, the team members who had set out in the morning had not returned. They used the walkie-talkie to contact the people above, who said that the snow was too heavy and the way down the mountain was not easy, and they were going to stay in the second camp for one night and then go down the mountain the next day. It's just that the second battalion is undersupplied, but fortunately it is not hungry.
Bai Zezhi looked at the sumptuous food they had prepared in the afternoon, sighed and said, "It's a pity that they can't come back to eat after preparing so much." ”
When it was completely dark, the snow stopped, and the three of them were a little relieved. Gu Youli and Sen ran out to inspect all the tents and other base facilities, and made the necessary reinforcements again.
The three of them rested separately.
The snow-capped mountains shrouded in darkness are unusually quiet.
