Chapter 230 Snow Lotus
The place where Liu Jun and the others plan to climb Riyue Mountain is not a scenic spot. They have to go deep into the snowy mountain. If they are seen by others, it will easily cause unnecessary trouble.
When we arrived at the foot of Riyue Mountain, we looked up at the snow-capped peaks of Riyue Mountain, surrounded by white mist, which looked dazzling under the sunlight.
Looking at the towering snow-capped mountains, the fat man retreated, "Brother Liu, I feel that I am too fat to hold back the organization. How about you go up, I will wait for you at the foot of the mountain"
"Haha, I've thought too much. Don't worry, don't say I'm holding you back today. Even if you take off your tissue pants, you still have to do it for me. Just treat it as losing weight."
"Brother Liu, you are so generous. I am moved to tears. I am so grateful to you."
"You are so polite, good brother. We share weal and woe. Let's start climbing."
Climbing After about ten minutes, I have to say that the snow scenery in Riyue Mountain is beautiful, but climbing up is not a pleasant experience. Liu Jun and Fatty thought they were resistant to freezing. After all, they were from the north, but when climbing snowy mountains, it wasn't just you who was resistant to freezing.
This shows Wang Song's professionalism. He suggested that Liu Jun and Fatty buy wool socks and high-top snow hiking boots, and buy one size larger to ensure that the toes can move in the shoes. A little, so you won’t freeze, and wool socks are better at wicking away sweat.
As we climbed higher and higher, the cold wind became biting. At this time, the role of the jacket came into play. If we only had a down jacket, it would probably freeze into lumps of ice.
After climbing for about five or six hours, almost all the climbing supplies Wang Song prepared were put to use. For example, trekking poles are used to explore the road. If the snow is deep and you cannot see the road, you need trekking poles to explore because there are many cracks in the stones. If you accidentally step into some of the cracks in the stones, you may suffer minor bruises or sprained feet, or even serious injuries. Possible broken bones.
There are also crampons to prevent slipping to the bottom in places with ice. The ice ax was originally prepared by Wang Song for himself. He planned to be at the front and help Liu Jun and others who had never climbed before. People from the Snowy Mountains opened the way.
But Wang Tiezhu, wearing a suit and carrying three large backpacks, walked at the front with an ice axe. When he saw a place that was not easy to get to, he dug a path with the ice axe.
Wang Song looked terrified. He was afraid that Wang Tiezhu would lose his footing and roll down. If nothing else, those three big backpacks could annihilate the people behind him.
But he soon realized that his worries were in vain. This Wang Tiezhu was no ordinary person. If nothing else, there were still snowflakes in the sky, and Wang Tiezhu's suit was not wet at all.
Moreover, Wang Tiezhu's strength in cutting the road was too scary. The normal thing is to use a few swings to carve a hole in the ice so that it doesn't slip.
Wang Tiezhu is amazing. Whether it is ice or stone, he waves his hand down and a simple step appears.
Sure enough, people in the Ninth Division cannot be judged by common sense. Wang Song always thought that the Snow Girl walking at the end was an ordinary girl.
Later he found out that he was wrong, so wrong, because the snow girl climbed the snow mountain with them barefoot, barefoot! Even though I was wearing warm hiking boots, I felt cold. But my bare feet were not only not cold, but I also enjoyed it judging from my expression.
And I don’t know if it was his imagination, but Wang Song saw that the snowflakes around the Snow Girl were actually dancing, like white elves.
Sure enough, the master and the fat man were more normal. Wang Song looked at Liu Jun and the fat man again. Liu Jun and the others were wearing thick clothes like him. They were also out of breath when they went up the mountain. Especially the fat man, who kept complaining about being tired.
After climbing for five or six hours and climbing over several steep peaks, Wang Tiezhu and Xue Nu had nothing to do, but Fatty Wang Song couldn't hold on anymore and needed to take a rest.
Wang Song found a flat place, set up a stove, and was cooking. As for Xue Nu, she said she was going out for a walk, so she left temporarily, and Liu Jun didn't care. Xue Nu in the snow mountain was like a fish entering the sea, and she still had to worry about herself.
Wang Song just looked at the snow girl worriedly, and then thought about the strangeness of the snow girl following them all the way up. She was obviously not an ordinary person, so he simply concentrated on cooking.
While cooking, Wang Song took out a blood oxygen tester. Liu Jun didn’t know what it was. Anyway, he measured more than 90, and the fat man had more than 80. Wang Tiezhu was awesome, single digits. , Wang Song tested himself, then ran to test Wang Tiezhu, and the result was still single digits.
Then, he saw that Wang Song had been tinkering with his equipment for more than half an hour while he was cooking. He might have thought that the blood oxygen measuring device was broken.
When the meal was about to begin, the Snow Girl came back, holding two crystal clear, pure white snow lotus flowers in her hand, and handed them to Liu Jun.
"I still owe you three flowers. In addition, this can help you withstand the severe cold." "Can you just eat the petals?"
The snow girl nodded and said nothing, quietly. I stood there, looking at the snow-capped mountains, not knowing what I was thinking.
Liu Jun thought for a while and divided the petals of the snow lotus into four parts. Wang Song also had a part.
But Wang Tiezhu didn’t want it, so he gave his share to Liu Jun, and Liu Jun gave it to the fat man.
Wang Song was not too surprised when he saw the snow lotus: "Are you just picking snow lotus? This thing is for sale. Although it is more expensive, it is better than the suffering we come here."
Liu Jun smiled and did not explain. One kind cost a few hundred yuan a flower, and the other cost more than a million. They just looked alike.
Handling some snow lotus petals to Wang Song, Wang Song hesitated and saw that both Liu Jun and Fatty had eaten them, so he also took them into his mouth.
He knew that snowdrops were a good thing and he had eaten them before, but this was his first time eating petals in the snowy mountains.
The moment the petals entered his mouth, Wang Song's eyes widened. This? This is not the snow lotus I know.
The petals melted in his mouth, and he felt an obvious heat flowing into his internal organs and spreading throughout his body. He felt that his whole body was warm and full of strength, as if he had eaten a century-old wild ginseng. have to.
If you think about it with your toes, you can tell that the snowdrops Liu Jun gave him were not ordinary things. He didn't know that he was taking advantage of them.
"Liu Captain, this thing is not an ordinary snow lotus"
"Of course not. You don't know who I am, Brother Liu. How can I handle it with ordinary people? This thing costs more than one million yuan."
The fat man finished eating his own snow lotus, and then took it from him Brother Liu grabbed two petals and ate them. When Wang Song asked, he told Wang Song the value of the snow lotus.
Wang Song looked at the fat man in surprise, with a look of disbelief. He had just eaten five hundred thousand? He ate half of the snowdrops, which was only half a million dollars.
"Captain Liu, this thing is too expensive. If I had known it was so expensive, I wouldn't have eaten it. Wait until I come down from the mountain and pay you back slowly, give me some time"
"I said Brother Wang, what's your ink? Do you look down on my brother Liu? Is my brother Liu a man who is short of money? What he gives you is to give you food."
Money is short, very money is short, but Liu Jun's snow lotus petals are just for Wang Song to eat. Wang Song is a good person and a real person. Moreover, Wang Song has meritorious deeds behind him. This cannot be faked.
Liu Jun knew very well how difficult it was to climb a snow-capped mountain, especially with several novices who had never climbed a snow-capped mountain before, how much risk Wang Song had to bear.
“You heard that we were going to climb the Snowy Mountains, so you came to help without saying a word. Do you want money from us? This thing is just for people to eat, it’s not valuable, don’t care too much”
"This is different, Captain Liu." Wang Song wanted to say something more, but Liu Jun waved his hand to interrupt. He went to the pot and filled a bowl of porridge. He thought about it and gave it to Xue Nu. Rolling his eyes, Liu Jun had no choice but to drink it himself. His good intentions were not rewarded.
After eating and drinking, we set off again, climbing through mountains and ridges for three or four hours. Around four or five o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Song decided to find a place to camp.
Why do you need to find it in advance? When camping in the snow, try to find a place that is not covered by snow to prevent the heat of people from causing the snow to melt and make it even colder.
Seeing Wang Song looking around, Liu Jun asked why and found a slightly flat place. He threw two Lihuo Talismans out. Affected by the weather and environment, the Lihuo Talisman only burned for a short while. Just disappear completely.
But this short period of time was enough. Not only was there no snow on the ground, it was also very dry, so the efficiency was quite high.
