After 2 hours and 40 minutes, we finally landed at the airport in Garmanddu. As soon as we got out of the airport, we saw a strong white man holding a white wooden sign with the word "Ren He" written in broken Chinese. An Si waved to him.
Then An Si whispered: "This is the leader of the guide company this time, Smail, an American. I will translate for you whatever he says."
"No need," Ren He smiled. He stepped forward and said in fluent English: "Hello, when will we leave for the camp?"
"Oh, not yet," Smail glanced at Ren He in surprise. Unexpectedly, the other person's English was quite fluent and he had a standard West Coast accent. He continued: "There are two more Japanese who will arrive in 30 minutes."
Upon arrival, the other five teammates have already arrived at the camp. We need to wait until the two Japanese teammates set off to the camp together, but... is the person next to me also going to participate in the Everest summit activity? If you add more people, you need to pay extra.
"
What Smail was talking about was An Si, and he thought that An Si and his colleagues were also going to climb Mount Everest. He didn't mind adding one more person, but it would cost more. This is the principle of the business guide company, and money is the measure.
All standards. And Smail knew that Ren He was a rich man, so he especially hoped to get some more money from Ren He.
Ren He said calmly: "If he doesn't go, he will stay at the last stop of the camp and wait for me."
Smail shrugged slightly disappointedly and said, "Okay, then we'll wait until the two Japanese teammates set off."
In fact, when Ren He heard him say that there were still 5 teammates in the camp, he felt a little unhappy, because the best team to climb Mount Everest is a 7-person team, and sometimes it can reach 8 people, but this is the limit.
A standard team.
Now if we count, there will be 9 people in the team?
You must know that one more person will waste more time, because there are many places on Mount Everest that only allow one person to pass through ropes. That is the road that everyone has opened up. A rope is used to build a path between the two rocks.
A temporary road through which climbers take turns passing.
Even in some climbing areas, the ropes are only for one or two people. One more person will waste more time.
There is a well-known principle on Mount Everest: Descend the mountain before 2 pm, because if it is later, life will only be left to fate. No one can predict the weather at that time, so everyone is racing against time.
So Ren He could tell just from the number of people how profit-seeking this guide company was. Thinking of this, Ren He asked: "Add ten thousand dollars to your account and arrange for me to go to the front. I want to be the first to reach the top. The first one."
Go down the mountain."
Ren He has no shortage of money, he only cares about not being dragged to death by others.
Smail immediately became happy when he heard what Ren He said: "No problem, absolutely no problem!"
Sometimes due to physical problems in a team, it is possible that the time to reach the summit may differ by 2 hours. No one can say for sure whether there will be a storm during these two hours. Maybe Ren He is using money to compensate for this.
The fate of others, but does he have any other choice? Sacrifice himself to fulfill others? He is not that noble.
In fact, if it weren't for such a profit-seeking guide company, no other company would be willing to take a 16-year-old boy like me with no mountain experience to the summit. Anyone with any conscience would not accept his money without conscience, but would advise him
Retrain training.
However, since Ren He is rich and other guide teams will not accept him, he is justified in his actions.
Smail was a little disapproving. He really didn't understand the world of rich people. Just to be the first to reach the top, he could pay an extra 10,000 US dollars. What's the purpose? But making money is always a good thing.
This time, most of the team members paid 50,000 US dollars for guide fees. Only Ren He paid 100,000 US dollars. This is a big fat sheep. Since he has the money, Smail must certainly meet the sponsor's requirements.
After waiting nearly 50 minutes for the last two Japanese teammates, Ren He did not have any hatred towards the Japanese people. After all, there are good people and bad people everywhere. The so-called hatred between the country and the family does not matter whether they are civilians or not during the war, because everyone has no
Time will tell you whether you are a good person or a bad person, but it is different in peacetime. Holding hatred will not do you any good.
Ren He's aunt once studied in Japan and told him about Japan. There are still many people there who know the historical truth and are opposed to the right wing.
So Ren He didn't have any special reaction when he heard Smail say that there were two Japanese teammates, but now when he saw the other team members, they didn't look so friendly.
At this time, the weather in Garmando was relatively warm and sunny. Two Japanese people walked out of the airport wearing short-sleeved shorts. Ren He saw the Nazi symbol on their right arm at a glance! Ren He's eyes narrowed. This was a lot of
It is the symbol of Japan’s right-wing fascists. Normal Japanese people would not have this tattooed on their bodies.
Ordinary people are ordinary people, and the right wing is the right wing. Ren He is clear about this.
When the two Japanese saw An Si and Ren He, they frowned and asked, "South Korea? China? Do you have the physical fitness to climb Mount Everest?"
Ren He became very angry all of a sudden. The person who dared to challenge me last time was still that young and ignorant naughty kid... You are very smart. In fact, the thinking of Japanese right-wingers is quite extreme. They hate China.
Because China has restricted Japan's development. The word China itself is insulting, and Ren He really annoys these right-wingers.
But he didn't say anything, he just smiled at Smile and said, "Let's go."
Ren He found that An Si was still a little excited, so he pulled him and said, "Let's go, you bitch will be free to take care of you."
An Si was still a little dissatisfied: "This little Japan is so arrogant. Can you kick them both off Mount Everest when you go up the mountain? My Japanese is very bad, but I can tell that they must be scolding us. There are
Dirty words." He had a Japanese teammate in his previous team and he was very unfriendly, so Ansi could get a general idea.
"Haha, pull him down," Ren He laughed. Unexpectedly, An Si was still an angry young man, but his own actions would not be so extreme. After all, he was just an ordinary person and would not do such things as murder, but this case
Things won't end there.
Two Japanese people were cursing and talking in Japanese behind them. Ren He almost impulsively used the last perfect reward to learn Japanese to fight with them, but he thought about it and let it go. There was something he couldn't say properly.
If you scold someone so much and have no quality, why can't you just sit down and chop him down?
Smail asked Ren He and the others for their opinion on whether they needed to stay in Garmanddu tonight to recuperate for a day and take a look at the customs and customs of the capital of Nepal. Ren He smiled and refused, and went directly to an altitude of 6,000 meters.
Campsite!
In fact, it still takes a long time to travel from Garmandu to the campsite at an altitude of 6,000 meters. There were even days of rest in villages in the valley, and Ren He was too lazy to waste time.
The road from Lukla to the Himalayas goes north through the Dudkosi Gorge.
It is from here that they will slowly enter the realm of ice, snow and glaciers. On the first day alone, they need to cross 4 rivers on foot.
However, just after crossing the third day and the river, Ren He turned around and looked at the two Japanese behind him and laughed out loud. The two right-wingers didn't know what happened. They just felt that Ren He's laughter made them feel sick.
