The spread wings of the golden eagle shine with golden light under the sunlight, just like the great roc bird in the sky. It looks so dazzling in the white snow.
"Brothers, please use it slowly. When you're done eating, just throw your things in and that's it. I'll pack them up when I go down the mountain. White Lion, let's go!"
Seeing Xiao Jin's appearance, Zhuang Rui was overjoyed. Maybe he had found the snow leopard. After calling out to the white lion, he ignored the pots and pans on the ground. He took his backpack in one hand and walked up the mountain.
As Zhuang Rui climbed up, the divine-winged golden eagle kept hovering in the sky dozens of meters above his head, constantly emitting eagle calls.
Several mountaineers watching this magical scene were stunned and puzzled. Why didn't the golden eagle at the top of the food chain in this snowy mountain attack Zhuang Rui?
Twenty years later, one of these four people, together with world-famous mountaineers, conquered countless dangerous peaks that are forbidden areas for humans, won great honors for the Chinese mountaineering community, and became a member of the Chinese Mountaineering Association.
's president.
In the book "Mountain Diary" he published, he recorded the details of this encounter with Zhuang Rui in detail.
The last paragraph of the book reads: "Mountaineering is the embodiment of mankind's enterprising spirit of developing faster, higher, and stronger, and it is also a positive expression of a nation and a country.
Looking at the background of Mr. Zhuang's departure, I became more determined in my choice to continue this fearless mountaineering spirit and make my own contribution to China's mountaineering cause. I believe that the future of our motherland will be better!
"
…
Of course, Zhuang Rui didn't know that those mountaineers he met by chance would become the pride of the Chinese mountaineering community in the future. He didn't dare to be distracted at the moment, because the higher he went up, the steeper the terrain became.
, is the end result of being shattered into pieces.
But after all, Zhuang Rui climbed up and down this snow-capped mountain twice, threw away the pots and pans in his backpack, and climbed lightly. It only took more than an hour to climb this section of the mountain that would have taken ordinary people five or six hours.
journey.
"Ah...ah..."
Standing on the top of the snow-capped mountains, looking up at the blue sky and white clouds that seemed to be within reach, Zhuang Rui was so excited that he looked up to the sky and roared.
The terrain near the top of the mountain is basically glaciers, and Zhuang Rui is not afraid of an avalanche burying the people below. The huge echo caused the four valleys to tremble, and the snow on the mountainside slid down.
Being at the top of the mountain and seeing all the small mountains at a glance, the feeling of climbing to the top after all the hard work makes Zhuang Rui extremely comfortable. Everything in the world has left him at this moment, and his soul has been cleansed again on the top of this snow-capped mountain.
and purification.
"Oooh...ooh!"
The white lion standing next to Zhuang Rui also let out a deep roar, and coupled with the hawk's call from the golden eagle hovering above his head, the Snowy Mountains, which had been silent for hundreds of millions of years, became noisy.
"Wow... wow!"
Suddenly, a sharp and penetrating sound was mixed into the chorus on the top of the snow-capped mountains. The sudden sound caused Zhuang Rui to stop screaming, and a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.
"Xiaoxue, is that you?" Zhuang Rui threw off his backpack, turned around and ran to the other side of the mountain.
Different from the half of the snow-capped mountains where we came from, on the other side of the snow-capped mountains, it was spring and flowers were blooming. The sloping slopes were covered with various plants and low shrubs. Zhuang Rui looked around, but
No trace of snow leopard was found.
"Did I hear wrongly? Xiaoxue, where are you?"
There was a look of frustration on Zhuang Rui's face. The Snowy Mountain he was in was just the highest mountain in the foothills. It stretched for hundreds of miles and had countless peaks, large and small.
If the snow leopard stayed away from here to avoid humans, who knows where it would hide? Zhuang Rui didn't think he could find all those hundreds of miles of foothills.
"Xiao Jin, come down, didn't you say you found Xiaoxue?"
Zhuang Rui roared angrily at the golden eagle above his head. He had raised the golden eagle from a young age. Zhuang Rui could hear that its chirping just now was full of pride. He must have completed his mission of letting it find the snow leopard.
"Gah...gah..."
After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, the golden eagle spread its wings, flew to Zhuang Rui's side, and started chirping non-stop at a bush forty or fifty meters below the top of the mountain.
Zhuang Rui looked intently and saw that the bushes were full of light white flowers. When he looked carefully, there seemed to be an object moving inside.
"snow leopard!!!"
The white fur is covered with gray spots. Among the flowers, the snow leopard is indeed not very conspicuous. If Xiao Jin hadn't pointed it out, Zhuang Rui would never have seen the snow leopard.
With a joyful cheer from his mouth, Zhuang Rui ran down the mountain excitedly. However, when he was still more than 20 meters away from the snow leopard, Zhuang Rui stopped.
"Xiaoxue, it's me, don't you recognize me?"
Zhuang Rui found that the snow leopard seemed a little hesitant and a little scared about his arrival, and his figure was slowly retreating deeper into the bushes.
Zhuang Rui didn't use spiritual energy. He firmly believed that the snow leopard would definitely recognize him. Xiaoxue, who had been whining at the top of the mountain for a long time before saying goodbye, would definitely recognize him!
Zhuang Rui walked towards Snow Leopard slowly and steadily step by step.
Finally, Snow Leopard stopped retreating. Its beautiful eyes stared at Zhuang Rui's face, and its body slowly stood up.
One step, two steps, the snow leopard came towards Zhuang Rui. Its pace was getting faster. Zhuang Rui also started to trot, and the distance between the two was getting closer.
When the distance was still four or five meters away, the snow leopard jumped up and put its forelimbs on Zhuang Rui's shoulders. Zhuang Rui unreservedly showed his body's vital points in front of the snow leopard and put his arms around the snow leopard's neck.
Zhuang Rui only felt a moment of moisture on his face, but the snow leopard kept licking his face with his tongue, like an aggrieved child who kept acting coquettishly after seeing his relatives.
If this scene is caught on camera, it will definitely subvert the theories of some zoologists. Who says that ferocious beasts can't live in harmony with people? Who says that ferocious beasts can't have sincere friendship with people?
From Snow Leopard's eyes and movements, Zhuang Rui felt the pure emotion without any impurities. This feeling made Zhuang Rui's eyes filled with tears.
"Okay, Xiaoxue, let me have a look, come on, let me have a look..." Zhuang Rui stretched out his sleeve to wipe the drool on his face, and looked at the snow leopard in front of him.
I don't know if it's because of Zhuang Rui's spiritual energy, but compared to a few years ago, the snow leopard is much larger, and its fur is very shiny, but the eyes looking at Zhuang Rui are still so pure and bright.
"Hey, Xiaoxue, are you...pregnant?" Zhuang Rui was stunned when he saw the snow leopard's abdomen. The bulging abdomen showed that a new life was brewing there.
Zhuang Rui felt moved in his heart. He knew that when animals are about to give birth, they usually find a safe place and prepare enough food for themselves.
However, under the guidance of the golden eagle, Snow Leopard chose to come to see him. That kind of trust that transcended life forms finally made tears fall from Zhuang Rui's eyes.
"Woooo..."
I don't know if it was because of the excitement when seeing Zhuang Rui that the snow leopard was about to give birth. The snow leopard, which was originally standing on all fours, slowly fell down and made a painful moaning sound in its throat.
"This...this, I don't know how to deliver babies..."
Seeing this scene, Zhuang Rui was dumbfounded. When he was hurriedly preparing to help, the first little life had already been born.
A little leopard covered in viscous liquid appeared in front of Zhuang Rui. Its small body trembled slightly in the wind and made a slight cat-like meow.
The snow leopard's eyes were full of love. He turned his head and gently licked the little guy with his tongue, then bit the soft skin between his head and neck with his teeth and placed it under his abdomen.
Foraging is the nature of all living things. After smelling the fragrance of breast milk, the little guy closed his eyes and bit the female leopard's vagina and sucked it hard.
One, two, three, four.
The snow leopard kept repeating the actions just now. More than ten minutes later, a total of four little guys were lying quietly under the snow leopard's belly, drinking milk. The exhausted snow leopard's eyes showed the brilliance of motherhood.
Zhuang Rui was stunned by the birth of this miracle of life in nature. He even forgot to use spiritual energy to help the snow leopard. Perhaps in Zhuang Rui's subconscious, he wanted the snow leopard to fulfill this maternal responsibility independently.
"Xiaoxue, you are a mother..."
I don't know why, seeing this scene, it was like seeing his child grow up, Zhuang Rui felt like crying.
The Snow Leopard underneath him seemed to feel Zhuang Rui's emotions, and he raised his head gently, using his long beard face to rub Zhuang Rui's palm, just as he had nostalgic for Zhuang Rui a few years ago.
.
Zhuang Rui's heart was surrounded by an indescribable emotion. Before he came to the Snow Mountain, he had always been confused as to why he wanted to see the snow leopard and the golden eagle's parents so much. Now... he understood.
Because Zhuang Rui wants to gain a kind of trust, a kind of unreserved trust, a kind of trust that exposes himself completely naked in front of the other party, and this kind of trust is something Zhuang Rui cannot get from others.
Zhuang Rui has always been suppressed by the change in his eyes. He dare not tell anyone, even his closest mother and wife. Zhuang Rui is also afraid that he will suddenly lose his spiritual energy like he got it again.
Success in career and compliments from the world cannot relieve Zhuang Rui's depressed emotions. This is why he longs to come to the Snowy Mountains to purify his soul.
However, this kind of worry about gain and loss changed in Zhuang Rui's heart after witnessing the birth of several little lives. He suddenly felt that in front of life, everything... was so insignificant.
His mother was pulling a cart of briquettes, and Zhuang Rui and his sister were pushing behind. The hardships of his childhood life appeared before Zhuang Rui's eyes like a picture scroll. Although he was poor, that kind of life taught Zhuang Rui to be strong and confident.
Gunshots rang out, and the scene returned to the scene of the pawn shop being robbed. Zhuang Rui didn't know whether he was more afraid or more eager for life. Now that he thinks about it, it should be his desire for survival.
"I bought this book for 20,000 yuan." Zhuang Rui couldn't help laughing when he thought about the first time he picked it up. He didn't think he was a profiteer. If it were the shopkeepers in the antique market, he could give the old lady 200 yuan.
The money is pretty good.
The green of emerald, the smooth whiteness of mutton-fat jade, Zhuang Rui was addicted to the world of jade. The speed of making money through gambling in Myanmar once made him feel frightened.
"Emerald King? Haha..." Zhuang Rui smiled to himself. From the initial fear when he heard this term to the later peace of mind, his mentality may have changed at that time, right?
Recognizing his mother's family has broadened Zhuang Rui's horizons. Settling in Beijing means that Zhuang Rui has officially entered the antique industry. The strong cultural heritage has nurtured Zhuang Rui's professional knowledge.
.
The gold in Myanmar's Savage Mountain, the treasures on overseas pirate islands, Genghis Khan's gold room, ancient ruins in the African jungle, adventures one after another flashed through Zhuang Rui's mind like a movie.
Familiar faces such as Uncle De, Song Jun, Nan Wu Beigu, Professor Meng, Fatty Jin, Master Qi, Huangfu Yun, Miao Feifei, etc. appeared in front of Zhuang Rui. These people were like passers-by, but they were in Zhuang Rui's eyes.
It left a deep mark on his life.
"What can I leave to future generations? What traces can I leave in this world?"
Slowly sitting on the ground, Zhuang Rui rested his head on Snow Leopard's body. Smelling the milky fragrance, Zhuang Rui released his spiritual energy.
Huge spiritual energy spread down the mountain, and the originally lifeless rocks seemed to become more alive at this moment, as if telling Zhuang Rui about the great changes in the sea and the evolution process hundreds of millions of years ago.
The low bushes on the mountain exuded strong vitality. Although the vegetation was only in autumn, it still interpreted the meaning of life. Zhuang Rui was shocked by that tenacious vitality.
When Zhuang Rui's spiritual energy reached the mountainside, in the cave on the rock wall, a female eagle was feeding four eaglets that were waiting for food. Her young life revealed a strong desire for survival.
As if sensing Zhuang Rui's aura, the female eagle stuffed the bug into the mouth of the young eagle, then left the cave, her wings flew into the sky, and not long after, she came to the top of Zhuang Rui's head.
"Old friends, I'm here to see you..."
Zhuang Rui withdrew his spiritual energy and stood up with a smile. At this time, his state of mind was completely different from before. His understanding of life made Zhuang Rui know the goal he wanted to pursue in the rest of his life.
"Gah...gah!"
With the cry of an eagle, Xiao Jin's father also flew up from the mountain. He grabbed an argali with his sharp talons and threw it heavily on the grass in front of Zhuang Rui.
"Good guy, are you going to make me do hard work again?"
Zhuang Rui laughed and picked up the argali. From his aura, Zhuang Rui "saw" that the mountaineering team was about to reach the top. He didn't want them to disturb his reunion with his old friends. Zhuang Rui immediately said
: "Let's go to the mountainside..."
Although all the pots, pans and spoons were lost, Zhuang Rui still had a lot of seasonings in his backpack. After lighting a bonfire on a flat ground sheltered from the wind, not long after, the rich aroma of mutton came out.
"Haha, a bunch of foodies..."
Zhuang Rui could only chew one bone of an argali weighing seventy or eighty kilograms, and the rest were eaten by the white lions. Even the one-month-old eaglet got a few shreds of meat.
However, Zhuang Rui left all the argali's internal organs to the snow leopard, which needed to replenish its physical strength at this time.
The vitality of wild animals is really tenacious. After only seven or eight hours, several little leopards have opened their eyes. While getting to know their mother, they also saw for the first time the animals that will accompany them through life in the future.
Lifelong companions on the Snowy Mountains.
After being fed by their mother, the four little snow leopards actually slept together with several eaglets. This extremely ridiculous but harmonious scene would probably cause another stir if it spread to the human world.
A great discussion in the biological world.
Night gradually fell, and the stars in the sky illuminated the hillside, intertwining mysterious patterns in the sky. It seemed that Wu Gang was really cutting down trees on the round moon, and the hares scurrying up from time to time in the surrounding grass reminded Zhuang Rui of his life.
The story of Chang'e flying to the moon.
Sleeping on the cliff next to the eagle's nest, looking at the starry sky that seemed to be within reach, Zhuang Rui took out the satellite phone from his backpack and called Qin Xuanbing. He wanted to live a different life for a few days.
In the next few days, Zhuang Rui was like a savage, drinking mountain springs, eating game, and watching the changes of the little leopard and the eaglet every moment. The miracle of life moved Zhuang Rui differently every day.
…
"Brother Zhuang, where is the snow leopard?"
Five days later, Zhuang Rui returned to the small mountain village. Except for the eaglet in the arms of the white lion and the three golden eagles circling in the sky, no one saw the snow leopard.
"Snow leopard... becomes a mother..."
A smile appeared on Zhuang Rui's face. After this separation, he was no longer reluctant to leave. Snow Leopard was still fighting for survival, but Zhuang Rui wanted to leave his mark in this world.
Of course, Zhuang Rui used spiritual energy to comb the bodies of his friends. As long as they don't encounter these bearded humans, they must be able to live very well at the top of the food chain in the Snowy Mountains.
Liu Chuan grabbed Zhuang Rui, snatched the young eagle from his hand, and asked strangely: "Zhuang Rui, why do I feel that you are a little different from before? Your whole person seems to have been reborn.
Doesn't it feel like a great monk?"
"Well, I went up the mountain and met an immortal. You guys must be envious..."
Zhuang Rui laughed. Before he finished speaking, he heard Timur yelling, "Hey, Liu Chuan, give me the little eagle quickly..."
Timur on the other side had not been embarrassed to ask Zhuang Rui for the eaglet, but now he saw that Liu Chuan had snatched it away, and he couldn't help but started fighting for it. Coupled with the booing from the people around him, laughter rang out in the small mountain village.
Life... isn't it a part of life? Looking at the warm pictures in front of him and listening to the sweet laughter, Zhuang Rui put his arms around Qin Xuanbing's waist and quietly withdrew from the crowd.
Sitting on a wooden chair by the lake, with grapes peeled by the people around me in my mouth, the March sunshine poured warmly on my body.
Looking at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, cupping the soft and lazy blue of the lake with his hands, and the intoxicating fragrance of the wild flowers by the lake, Zhuang Rui was unconsciously drunk, and happiness... was so simply returned to the light wind and clear clouds.
