Mo Zihan fiercely hugged Tuoli tightly, as if she was comforting him, more like comforting herself.
"You don't have to hold on for three months. Give me half a month. We will definitely go to the top of the mountain and find the Holy Blood Toad."
Tuoli smiled: "Don't worry, we still have a lot of time."
Not long after entering the mountains, the horses and carriages could not go any further because of snow on the ground.
After getting off the carriage, the Ming cousins took out the extra large mountaineering backpacks they had prepared. Everyone packed their things separately to avoid the problem of being in danger on the mountain and something being completely lost after the package fell.
Although there was a lot of snow below the mountainside, there was no danger, so everyone put all the less important items on the sled, which was pulled by the 10 dogs they brought with them.
After putting on the homemade "brown glass glasses" and packing up everything, the cold wind tied the clothes off to their bodies, and a group of 22 people began to officially head towards the top of the mountain.
The height of the mountainside is about 4,200 meters. This height is not difficult for Mo Zihan and the brothers in Mingtang.
If it is an ordinary high mountain, it can be reached within half an hour. But here is a snow-capped mountain, with deep snow at the foot and no mountain roads for walking. In addition, the terrain is steep and not suitable for walking. Therefore, the height of 4200 meters is enough for a group of people to reach.
It wasted a day.
At ten o'clock in the evening, we finally reached the halfway point of the mountain.
After looking at the mountainside not far above, Mo Zihan ordered not to go any further and to rest here today.
Dinner is cooked food they brought from the mountains. It can only be enjoyed on that day and cannot be eaten again the next day. So tonight is the last day for them to eat well and sleep well.
At the foot of Tianshan Mountain, it was about 0 degrees Celsius. Now that it has risen more than 4,000 meters, the temperature has already become more than 20 degrees below zero.
Everyone finished their dinner quickly and went back to their tents.
Due to the cold weather, the tents used for resting must not be careless, so a group of 20 people only brought 3 tents. One small and two large.
The small tent is exclusively for Tuoli and Mo Zihan, and the other two tents are for the 20 cousins.
In order to save space, everyone got into sleeping bags at night, and each tent was equipped with a pair of stands. The tents were divided into two layers, with five sleeping on the top and five sleeping on the bottom.
Although it is crowded, it saves manpower to the maximum extent. In addition, the weather is cold, so everyone is crowded together, but it is warmer.
Although the tent designed by Mo Zihan is small, it is well-equipped. In addition to the outer layer of airtight fabric, the tent also has a layer of leather in the middle, and the innermost part is thick animal fur, plus a sleeping bag. Although the tent is located at more than 20 degrees below zero
temperature, everyone still slept soundly.
Early in the morning of the second day, as it was just dawning, Mo Zihan and his party hurriedly finished their breakfast and set off again.
The snow-capped mountains are no different from other places. You should avoid traveling at night, so you must travel more during the day.
Half an hour later, we officially set foot on what the world calls the "point of no return" - halfway up the Tianshan Mountains.
The moment they stepped halfway up the Tianshan Mountains, they clearly felt the difference between the mountains below and above.
Although it is cold, windy and difficult to travel down the mountainside, there is still sunlight when the sky is clear and the day is bright.
But just past the halfway point of the mountain, the entire mountain range seemed to be shrouded by something, even though the sun was still shining below,
