Taking advantage of the snow, we still reached the top of the mountain that night. However, we were very tired, so we just ate some of the self-heating food we brought with us and went into the tent to rest. No one could enjoy the sumptuous dinner we imagined.
The white-eared pheasant that Cornell shot should have fallen below the ravine, perhaps on the roundabout down the mountain, and could not be found on the way up the mountain. However, this branch of white-eared pheasant weighs only a few hundred grams, which is lighter than other types.
It flew a little high, and there wasn't much meat on it. Even if it was picked up, it wouldn't be enough for one person.
It rained lightly at night. Although it was very small and made no sound when it fell on the tent, this was not a good sign. If the weather temperature warmed up too quickly, the snow in the deep mountains would melt quickly. At that time, dangers would be everywhere, even if
Even Li Qingyun was not sure that he would survive without any injuries.
After daybreak, everyone set off in the misty mist and rain. The rain was not heavy, but wherever they looked, there was a color of chaos, and the mountains in the distance could only be seen as faint gray shadows.
The ground was worse than expected. Li Qingyun had already begun to bend down and hold on to the stones with his hands as he slowly passed through the dangerous narrow path down the mountain. The only things that were not affected were gold coins and copper coins. From time to time, the two guys were on the mountainside.
Peeing behind the boulder declares to others that it has occupied a new territory.
"Damn, this mountain road is too difficult to walk. Should we find a place to rest?" The first person who couldn't hold it anymore and started to complain was Connell.
Cornel wiped off the annoying water mist on his face and kicked a small stone under his feet away, almost hitting the gold coin. The gold coin roared at him twice, and the copper coins stared at him eagerly. Their eyes were full of hostility, but they were struck by Li Qingyun.
After being appeased, now is not the time to take action.
"Husband, guide, it's almost lunch time now. Should you find a peaceful place for everyone to rest?" Charlie, the team leader, glanced at the status of his team members and felt that they were all very tired, so he asked Li Qingyun.
"I'm sorry, I'm a guide, not God. I can't make the rugged mountain road smoother. If you want to rest, just find a rock and sit on it. If you want to camp and sleep in a tent, find a way at the foot of the mountain." Li Qingyun said in a somewhat astringent tone.
He said coldly.
Charlie had a headache and intuitively believed that the guide must have a solution. However, their group had already offended the guide thoroughly and threatened him to become a guide. At this time, it was already a little late to feel regret.
Everyone had no choice but to find a place where they could lean on and sit on their backpacks. At this time, the raindrops began to intensify and hit their faces, which was cold and painful. When they looked carefully, it turned out that there was a small amount of freezing rain, and each raindrop dropped.
One looks like a small pearl.
This section of the mountain road is facing the wind. The cold wind is blowing, and the people whose clothes are soaked are shivering and want to die. If they had known that the temperature would drop suddenly, they would definitely put on portable raincoats.
However, because everyone was afraid of affecting their safety when going down the mountain, they all tried to save trouble and did not wear any waterproof portable raincoats. At this time, their clothes were soaked and the cold wind was blowing, so they knew that they were in trouble.
As soon as the self-heating can in my hand started to heat up, the cold wind took away the temperature and quickly returned to coldness. By the end of the meal, I could even see a snow-white freezing rain gathering on the greasy lower part of the can.
Li Qingyun was no exception. He ate self-heating rice. When the rice got cold halfway through the meal, he gave the rest of the food to the dog. He drank tea brewed with boiling water stored somewhere and waited for the second box.
Heating of self-heating rice.
The tea in Li Qingyun's cup was very fragrant. Cornel, who claimed to be of high status, didn't know what kind of tea it was. Charlie also had a high status. He had traveled to various countries and was well-informed. He also liked the tea ceremony of various countries, but
This was the first time he smelled this peculiar tea aroma.
"Oh, dear guide husband, what kind of tea are you drinking? Why have I never smelled this fragrance?" Charlie's tone was a little eager and obviously a little flattering.
"Haha, Shanye coarse tea is not famous. Charlie's husband has never seen it, so it is normal." Li Qingyun said, covering the cup and starting to eat the second box of self-heating rice.
When Charlie saw that Li Qingyun didn't want to say anything, he really had no shame to ask for the tea in this cup. After all, it was Li Qingyun's special cup. He smacked his lips a few times, shrugged regretfully, then turned around and gave Peter a fierce look.
This guy proposed that everyone should eat the food they brought, which destroyed the basis of friendship and unity. If not, yesterday I could have asked for a piece of apple brought by Li Qingyun to try, and today I could have asked for some fragrant tea leaves to try.
Peter sneezed and then noticed that Charlie was glaring at him. He shrank back a little guilty, even more regretful than Charlie. He was the one who called Li Qingyun to inform Li Qingyun and asked Li Qingyun to prepare everything by himself. When he encountered something delicious
Yes, others can still ask, but he has no shame to ask, no shame to even look at.
Another old expert in his fifties also started sneezing, gathered the leftover food waste together, and put it in a black garbage bag. The waste generated by the expedition was buried if it could be buried, and the areas that could not be buried were collected in
Put them in a bag, press them with stones, and wait to find a way to deal with them later to prevent them from spreading easily.
Although this group of people didn't care much about the local protected animals, their care for the environment was impeccable. Li Qingyun had also finished eating, tied up the gathered garbage, and pressed it under a big rock to prepare for when no one was around.
, then put it into a small space and take it down the mountain for processing.
Wearing a portable raincoat now doesn't help. We are going down the mountain in freezing rain. When we are almost at the bottom of the mountain, there is a thin layer of ice on the rocks under our feet. No matter how slippery the shoes are, they are not good enough. An expert broke it after breaking it.
He cut his head and even after putting a bandage on it, blood was still oozing out.
Plop! For a guy as big as Coulomb, every time he fell he would be miserable. This time he rolled straight down, rolled more than 20 meters, and fell into the bushes on the edge of the cliff. He was lucky enough to catch him and escape.
"Hell, this damn bullshit mountain road is the worst place I've ever seen. We're almost at the bottom of the mountain, so why is it still frozen?" Coulun was so frightened that he sat on the edge of the wet rocks and hugged his hands tightly.
This stone corner doesn't want to be let go.
"Snow may have fallen on the top of the mountain. We have just passed through a mountain. The mountain roads inside are more complicated. It is still too late to return now. Once we enter the deep mountains, it will be difficult to return." Li Qingyun felt the snow flakes blowing in the cold wind.
I can't tell whether it just fell or blew from the top of the mountain.
However, as soon as the mountain road turns, you can see the scenery at the foot of the mountain. This is the last bend of the mountain road, but it is very fatal and almost kills a big man.
"Damn it, we're almost at the next target point, I'm not going back." Coulomb cursed with lingering fear.
"Shut up, Coulomb." Cornel reprimanded him coldly, and Coulomb got up obediently, not daring to complain anymore.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Some experts with weak physical strength had collapsed on the ground. Charlie took out the satellite locator and the real-life satellite map. After comparing them, excitement appeared in his eyes. He pointed to the left front of the valley and said:
"Yes, there should be a real solar meteorite in this direction. It's just that the damn satellite photos didn't capture it clearly, but I'm sure it won't be more than two thousand meters because I've seen these two peaks.
Reference object on."
Just now, Cornell didn't let Coulomb talk nonsense, but now the team leader Charlie was so happy that he said it himself. Li Qingyun suddenly realized that no wonder this group of people had such an urgent desire to enter the mountain. It turned out that they had the ability to pull out satellite photos, and also
It was discovered that there was a solar meteorite near the town.
Li Qingyun took a lot of ground photos at that time, and could calculate the approximate impact point through geometric formulas and the reference coordinates of the found meteorites. However, the range was too small, and the deviation could even reach dozens of kilometers. Compared with satellite photos, it was simply a world away.
difference.
During the last military operation, Chu Yang revealed some information. It was also located through satellite photos. However, it took a month or two to find the small meteorite. It was easy to find at that time, but the mountains were full of poisonous snakes and poisonous insects. In the end, the price was too high.
, then the blockade was lifted.
Li Qingyun didn't know the resolution of the satellite photos in Charlie's hand or whether there was any obvious close reference, but even if there was a reference, it would take a lot of luck to find it.
Checking the direction of the fence, Li Qingyun felt that it was quite embarrassing. It was not a route developed by hunters. It might be a barren mountain that no one had set foot on. There were dangers in other seasons, and there were ways to overcome poisonous snakes and venomous insects, but now it was a vast white land.
Neither Xue nor Li Qingyun dared to step in easily.
Several monkeys were fetching water from the stream in the valley. When they saw humans appearing, they were not very afraid. However, when they saw the shotgun exposed when the expert took out his backpack, they immediately screamed, jumped and crawled, and fled into the dense forest on the other side.
It was very cold, but the stream was fast and not frozen. There was only a narrow layer of thin ice near the river bank. A group of unknown wild birds flapped their wings and flew up from the withered grass beside the stream and landed on it.
It disappeared in the dense forest on the other side.
Wherever there is a water source, there are animals. Seeing the monkeys and wild birds escaping, the old expert, who was sneezing constantly and almost unable to get up from exhaustion, took out the shotgun in his backpack.
While there was still some light, they prepared to hunt some prey. Because the food brought in their backpacks alone would definitely not be enough for them to survive here for more than ten or even twenty days. If they did not hunt some wild animals, they would not have the courage to survive here.
It’s time to enter the mountains.
Several muntjacs, making strange barks like dogs, poked their heads out of the forest on the other side. Their fine brown hairs were somewhat conspicuous among the snow-covered mountains. Their big ears were gray-white, and the males had two small short horns, which looked like
A pocket-sized deer is only about one meter long and half a meter tall. Even ordinary people who have just picked up a shotgun can easily hunt them.
Li Qingyun went to the mountains several times in the summer but never saw them. He only heard their calls at night. Unexpectedly, he encountered several muntjacs as soon as he entered the mountains in the winter. If there were not a few foreigners around him, he would definitely
Hunting one was a try, but with these foreign experts, he had to remind these poor herbivores to run away and not give them any chance to supplement their food.
Cornel raised his shotgun and shouted excitedly: "I'm going to go hunting over the creek. Those who are interested can follow me, and those who don't want to go can camp and set up a tent. Our dinner will definitely be extremely rich." (
