The sound echoed in the valley over and over again.
Bi Fang narrowed his eyes and quietly asked Thais, "Is your chairman a Sherpa?"
Thaïs shook his head: "No, but his grandmother was. There was a big commotion in the association last year, and the government replaced him with Mr. Sherpa in order to appease the people."
After looking around, Thaïs hesitated, pulled Bi Fang out of the crowd, and whispered: "Mr. Bi, I will tell you this matter alone, and you must not tell anyone."
Bi Fang raised his eyebrows and nodded.
Thaïs put his hand on the side of his face and whispered: "I heard that the association was planning to compromise yesterday and decided to seal only half of it."
"Only seal half of it? What do you mean?" Bi Fang was confused. What kind of operation is this?
"Mountain climbing certificates for this quarter will no longer be issued, but those who have already been issued can still climb mountains."
Bi Fang: "."
To put it bluntly, you just don’t want to refund the money and want to settle the matter?
I didn’t want the Sherpas to cause trouble, so I gave a face-to-face explanation, but I didn’t want to cause too much loss.
Now that we have entered May, who else would choose to obtain a mountaineering certificate at this time? There are only a few.
"Then him." Bi Fang pointed at Shilpa who was still speaking righteously.
"I don't know what happened, but the news leaked out. That night, Chairman Sherba was blocked by the villagers at the door. The leader was Puba, who was also the last time, and then he had no choice but to..." Tais muttered.
He pointed at Sherpa who was "speaking" on the boulder.
Puba is one of the famous contemporary Sherpa guides. He has climbed to the top of Mount Everest 21 times since he first climbed it in 1999. If he climbs to the top again in 2014, he will break the world record and become the first person to reach the top of Mount Everest.
The person with the most peaks.
The result is not difficult to guess. Everyone has a chance to become a hero.
"So I won't climb mountains again." In 2014, Puba said this to the camera. He sacrificed his fame and fortune and refused to climb mountains again to resist the treatment of the Sherpa people.
In his profile, the number of summits has always been at 21. The world record has long been broken by other Sherpas.
No wonder.
Bi Fang completely understood.
Feelings were decided to be blocked at the door of the house, killing the little thought of the Mountaineering Association and Nepalese officials. Only now could Sherpa stand here, speaking for the Sherpa people with righteous indignation.
Unfortunately, this has nothing to do with me.
"etc!"
Just as Bifang was thinking this, a familiar voice sounded in his ears. When he looked up, a young figure came into view.
It's Tenzin!
"Tenzin! Tenzin, where have you been! We have been looking for you for a long time, do you know?" Attenborough also saw the young man he admired very much, the child who immediately ran away with him on his back, and saw that he was fine.
, I was pleasantly surprised.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Attenborough, for making you worry." Tenzin gasped and waved the paper in his hand, which was densely packed with unknown words.
Bi Fang also ran over, but Tenzin waved the paper on his hand: "I'm sorry to make you worry, but I have something to ask Mr. Sherba. It's very important."
After saying that, without waiting for Bi Fang and others to react, Tenzin came to Sherpa and handed over the paper in his hand.
Sherpa's heart skipped a beat. He knew this young man, a Sherpa mountain guide. His father died in an avalanche ten years ago. His uncle was the famous guide Puba. At this time, a Sherpa appeared.
What to do here?
Although he wanted to drive this person out, Sherpa was sitting on pins and needles in front of everyone. He could only look at the first line of the note in his hand, which read Puba's name, and the rest were all Sherpas.
The names, several of them are famous guides, whether they are in service or not, they are all densely packed.
Damn, what does this guy want to do? Is this some kind of petition?
Isn’t canceling the climbing season enough? What else do you want to do?
Sherpa cursed secretly, but looking at Tenzin's red face, he asked with a smile: "So, what is this? Can you tell me something?"
"Petition Chairman Sherpa, this is a petition from all our villagers."
"So, what's the reason?"
Tenzin gasped for air. He did not answer immediately. Instead, after calming down his breathing, he turned to look at Bifang and shouted loudly: "Mr. Bifang, I said I wanted to repay my kindness. I said so."
In an instant, everyone in the base camp looked at Bifang, with countless pairs of eyes staring at him, both kind and malicious.
"I remember that man, that Chinese, he was very powerful, and he even helped the rescue team save people! He was really not afraid of death."
"What does this guy want to do? I just want my money back. Can you hurry up? It's very troublesome, okay?"
"Damn it, I just want to get my money and go home right now!"
"I will never come to this damn place again. There are actually avalanches! They should detonate bombs in advance before every climbing season to be aware of this threat!"
Facing everyone's whispers and Tenzin's eyes, Bifang was stunned.
Tenzin turned to look at Sherpa: "The climbing season has been cancelled, but we want Mr. Bi Fang to climb the mountain, and he can only do it alone! All our villagers agreed, Mr. Sherpa, and Mr. Bi Fang can climb the mountain!"
Wow!
This news was like a depth charge thrown into the lake, causing an uproar in an instant!
"Why! Why can he climb the mountain alone!?"
"That's why he can do it but we can't!"
"We also want to climb a mountain!"
"Yes, we want to climb the mountain too! If it doesn't work, we'll refund the money!"
"That's not fair!"
Bi Fang was confused by this sudden change. Not only him, but also Sherpa. Looking at the excited people in front of him, his head almost exploded.
Please, why are you giving me this kind of problem now?
Allowing someone to climb is far easier to dislike than not being able to climb at all. This is a privilege!
What everyone here hates the most is privilege!
"Unfair? No, this is fair!"
While everyone was arguing, a powerful roar covered up all the voices that were unable to argue fiercely due to altitude sickness.
Everyone looked back involuntarily.
He was an old man, but he didn't look like an old man. His appearance was aged by the weather and the sun, and his spine was as straight as a straight hiking pole.
"Puba?" Sherpa recognized the man. The man who almost set a mountaineering record was also the man who took the lead in organizing the strike ten years ago, causing both the association and the official to be extremely unhappy with him.
"Mr. Bi Fang, he is a hero."
Purba said as he approached Sherpa.
"When the avalanche happened, no one went up to rescue him, only him! He went up and down the mountain three times and saved my nephew Tenzin and six Sherpas! When crossing the crack, he would not let the Sherpas
He would not let Sherpa be the last one when walking on a snow-capped mountain. He wanted to climb to the summit without oxygen. As the first Chinese who might, no, definitely succeed, he had never
I have said but never explained that what he wants is not fame and fortune, but a proof!"
"Fair? Tell me what is fair? You? Or you? Who will tell me?" Puba sneered, scanning everyone with his sharp eyes, stinging everyone. He held the hiking pole in his hand, sharp
The tip of the staff scratched everyone's chest, forcing everyone present to retreat.
"A bunch of cowards!"
The crowd pushed aside like Moses parting the sea to make way for a smooth path. Puba came straight to Sherpa with piercing eyes.
