Under the instructions of the guide, everyone walked towards the excavated and paved climbing steps and prepared to start climbing.
Xue Chen saw a stall selling cotton clothes not far from the climbing steps. He looked up at the top of the mountain and said, "I'm going to spend the night at the top of the mountain."
"Well, Yunxia Mountain is most famous for the rays of light at sunrise in the early morning. I heard it is very beautiful, so we will stay on the mountain at night to watch tomorrow's sunrise together. There are scenic area staff on the top of the mountain who rent tents and sleeping bags." Luo Bing said in a brisk tone.
.
"The temperature at the top of the mountain may be relatively low at night. I see you haven't brought any clothes to keep out the cold. Why don't you buy a cotton coat?" Xue Chen suggested. His hometown is a mountain village, and he has a good understanding of the temperature at night on the mountain at this time of year.
Yes, it's very low and cool.
"Do you need it?" Luo Bing glanced at the others and saw that none of them had brought extra warm clothes. He felt that the weather was cool now, but it was not cold at all. Did he use such thick cotton clothes?
At this time, Wang Wu, who had been chatting all the way, loudly asked the guide who was already walking towards the climbing steps: "Guide Gao, do you need to buy cotton clothes to spend the night on the mountain?"
The male guide surnamed Gao turned around and said expressionlessly: "You can make up your own mind. You can buy whatever you want. I'm only responsible for leading the way."
Not all of the men and women who came here were inexperienced. Knowing that the temperature in the mountains might be low, some of them went over to inquire about the price of cotton-padded clothes.
Xue Chen glanced at the guide who looked a little impatient and saw that this man looked at those people who were buying cotton clothes with a somewhat unhappy look.
He paused and then walked over.
"What? This shabby cotton jacket costs three hundred yuan?"
"Grab the money. Look at the quality. The cotton inside is leaking out."
"What kind of rags are there? It doesn't even have a brand. It can't be black-hearted cotton."
In front of the stall selling cotton clothes, many people asked loudly and dissatisfiedly.
The middle-aged woman selling cotton clothes looked like she didn't want to buy it. She raised her eyebrows and shouted at the top of her voice: "If you can speak, don't buy it if it's too expensive. I'm not begging you!"
Xue Chen took a closer look and found that the quality of the cotton clothes was indeed a bit unpleasant. If it was sold in towns, he doubted that anyone would buy it. He was afraid that it would be embarrassing to wear it. Let alone three hundred yuan, it would cost thirty yuan.
It's tough enough to sell.
Some people were so angry that they turned around and left cursing, but Xue Chen paused and took out three hundred yuan to buy one.
The middle-aged woman collected the money, packed a cotton coat and handed it over. She looked at Xue Chen and said with a smile: "Not only is my little brother handsome, he also has a clear head. You can tell he understands people at a glance."
Xue Chen smiled lightly and said, "Why don't you explain to them that you can't sell more?"
The middle-aged woman showed a proud but not pretty glib smile and said: "The business of selling cotton clothes in the scenic area is only allowed to our family. I sell at the foot of the mountain, and my man sells on the mountainside."
Xue Chen nodded clearly and suddenly said: "Should we give these guides some money a month?"
The middle-aged woman looked at Xue Chen with some surprise in her eyes and said, "Little brother, you are very well-connected."
The middle-aged woman seemed to want to chat with Xue Chen some more and asked if Xue Chen had worked in the scenic area, but Xue Chen had no intention of chatting with her and turned around and walked back to the main army.
Among the entire team of school teachers, only Xue Chen bought cotton clothes. Even Wang Wu, who was the first to speak out, thought that three hundred yuan was too expensive. It was not worth buying such tattered clothes that were worn once and then thrown away.
Seeing that Xue Chen actually bought one, he said a little unreasonably: "Even if the temperature on the mountain is lower, I have asked and there are tents and sleeping bags for rent on the mountain. They are very cheap. It shouldn't be too cold. It costs three hundred
It's really a waste of money to buy such a shabby piece of clothing, ah, of course I didn't mention you, brother."
When other teachers and family members saw Xue Chen buying one, they all had strange expressions on their faces, apparently having the same thoughts as Wang Wu.
‘The victim’ Xue Chen ignored the looks of others and stuffed the cotton clothes he bought into the backpack he was carrying for Luo Bing.
Luo Bing, who was standing aside, said softly with some distress: "You really bought it. Three hundred yuan for such a bad cotton coat is enough to buy a brand."
Xue Chen smiled and said nothing.
At this time, the guide urged us to go up the mountain again.
A large group of nearly fifty people embarked on a mountain climbing journey.
"Xue Chen, look, squirrel!"
Ten minutes later, on the climbing steps, Luo Bing pointed to the little light-yellow guy crouching on the branch of a pine tree on the left, and saw that he was holding a pine cone and chewing on it.
She flushed slightly and pointed it out to Xue Chen excitedly.
Xue Chen just looked over, and suddenly, a stone flew over and hit the squirrel, knocking it to the ground. Then the squirrel squeaked twice and ran away quickly.
Already.
Luo Bing saw that the escaping squirrel seemed to be bleeding after being hit by a stone. His face turned pale slightly and he looked at the person who threw the stone with some annoyance.
Xue Chen also turned to look behind him and saw four people, three men and one woman, but they were not the same people who came in the car. They were laughing and laughing. The one who threw the stones was a young man with a shaved head, accepting the words of his companions.
praise.
"Gangzi, so accurate!"
"Yes, the shot was very accurate."
The man who threw stones at the squirrel raised his lips and said proudly: "Even if you didn't kill the little beast, you could take it back as a trophy and make a specimen. It's not a waste of time. It would be nice to go up the mountain and roast it."
"
The man's words caused the other three companions to burst into laughter.
Although Luo Bing was very angry, he also knew that asking questions would not help, and he did not want to start an argument with anyone, so he whispered to Xue Chen in a low voice: "Why is this person so unqualified? There are so many signs along the way.
Don’t harm the little animals on the mountain, didn’t you see?”
"There is no need to be angry with this kind of person." Xue Chen said.
"I don't know if that little squirrel will be okay if it's injured," Luo Bing said gloomily, feeling worried about the squirrel.
After less than half of the climb, many people were already tired and couldn't walk anymore. So the guide announced that everyone should stop and rest for half an hour before continuing to climb. But no
Be sure not to go too far or get lost.
The scenery around the place where we stopped to rest was really nice. It was a large poplar forest with leaves that were turning from green to yellow. The mountain wind blew by, making a rustling sound that was hard to hear in the city, like the whisper of nature.
Many school teachers and their companions got up to take pictures, walked around in the woods, and took a look. They shouted with joy when they saw the mushrooms growing on the ground. It was very lively.
Xue Chen also walked into the woods at Luo Bing's suggestion. Xue Chen had grown up in a mountain village since he was a child. He was tired of looking at trees and mountains, but there was nothing exciting about them.
But Luo Bing was different. He was in a very happy mood and kept taking pictures with his mobile phone. Whenever he saw squirrels, rabbits or birds that were chirping on the branches, they would point them out to him excitedly.
When the two of them passed by a grass nest, there was a sudden tremor in the grass. They turned their heads and took a look, and saw a small thing lying on the edge of the grass nest. It was not the one that had been knocked off the tree by a pebble just now.
squirrel?
I don’t know if this squirrel’s nest is nearby or because it was frightened, but it ran here. It didn’t look very good at this time. There were little blood stains on its fur. It lay on the grass and closed its eyes slightly.
trembling.
"It's that squirrel!"
Luo Bing exclaimed and immediately trotted over. Before the squirrel, which had lost half its life, could open its eyes and run away, he reached out and carefully lifted it up. When he saw blood stains on the little squirrel's nose and mouth, he couldn't bear it.
He turned back to Xue Chen bitterly and said, "It... seems to be gone."
Xue Chen walked over and looked at Luo Bing, who looked sad and pitiful, holding the little squirrel with one hand and stroking it pitifully and gently with the other hand.
"Xue Chen, can it be saved? How about we send it down the mountain to find a pet hospital to try?" Luo Bing asked in a low voice.
"Then you won't climb the mountain and watch the sunrise tomorrow morning?" Xue Chen asked calmly.
"The sunrise... I can come and see it again next time I have a chance. I can't watch it die, otherwise I will feel uncomfortable for a long time. Even if I climb the mountain to watch the sunrise, I won't feel comfortable. What do you think? Xue Chen."
Luo Bing said softly.
"Xiao Bing, you can become a monk with your temperament." Xue Chen said with a smile.
"You are still joking. Please pay attention to it quickly. What should I do? If you look at it, you can't even open your eyes." Luo Bing bit her lip gently and stamped her foot anxiously.
"Okay, give it to me." Xue Chen reached out and took the dying little guy from Luo Bing's hand, and at the same time thought to himself, you little guy really doesn't deserve to die.
Except for meeting him and Luo Bing, this little squirrel had absolutely no chance of surviving. Apart from Luo Bing's temper, there were several people who would break away from their colleagues and go down the mountain to find a pet hospital just for the life and death of a squirrel in the wild.
, even if it is found, the body will be cold.
"Xue Chen, what are you going to do?" Luo Bing watched without blinking when Xue Chen took the little squirrel over.
Looking at the girl next to him with her delicate and charming face shining with tenderness, she was exactly the same as when he first saw her, without much change. It was the most beautiful and unforgettable color in his college memories.
Seeing her worried and sad look, he suddenly felt an irrepressible passion in his heart, and said in a low voice: "I want to save it." Not only do I want to make it live, but I also want to make it live well and jump around.
!
"Save it?" Luo Bing was shocked. Although she also hoped that this innocent little squirrel could survive, but reality is reality, how could it be saved?
Seeing Luo Bing's unbelievable look, Xue Chen smiled heartily, his eyes bursting with light.
His eyes have now acquired five different abilities, each of which is incredible and extraordinary. It is difficult to distinguish between high and low, but if he could only choose one, he would probably choose rejuvenation.
There is an old saying that if there is nothing but illness, there is no money. Illness is what everyone fears the most. From the leaders of the country to the traffickers and lackeys, who cannot get sick? Who is not afraid of getting sick?
The most important ability of Rejuvenation is to cure diseases and save people. As long as he is willing, this ability alone can have a huge impact and become a person standing on the top of the wave! (To be continued)
