Manor Romance

Chapter 144 Snow Wolf Dog

There are not many people who are willing to climb the snow-capped mountains at this time of year. Even if there is such an attractive thing as pure white jadeite, very few people are willing to take risks for it. In the end, Wang Chengyuan only found three partners who were willing to go with him. If he intends to join the team, he naturally agrees.Without further ado, they quickly finalized their itinerary and are now on their way to the mountain.

As Wang Chengyuan said, climbing the snow-capped mountains does not mean that you can cope with it with good physical strength. Every step, every step, and even every breath has its own way. , They will only be wasted in places that have no practical effect, and they will not go far in the vast snow-capped mountains, so experience is particularly important. All mountaineering experts are tempered one by one, step by step.

Although Yunli has no experience of climbing snow mountains before, for him who possesses the power of electromagnetic force, this journey is not very difficult. After mastering certain skills, he will be more calm. The only thing he worries about is that as the altitude increases , the lack of oxygen will become more and more obvious. Even with electromagnetic body protection, they cannot withstand the long-term lack of oxygen. Although they all carry oxygen bags with them, if they want to use them, they will definitely have a big impact on their actions.

Half an hour later, they successfully arrived at a supply point on the half-mountain road. It was said to be a supply point, but it was actually a few simple wooden houses, where climbers could rest their feet and take shelter from the wind and snow. There were some cold-proof equipment, oxygen bags and emergency medicine inside. , and nothing else, but after walking for half a day, it would be nice to have a place to cover your head to rest. Everyone went into one of the wooden houses, found some dry firewood and lit a fire in the stove to keep warm.

It’s lunch time now, and the two guides took out noodles from their backpacks and cooked them for everyone. The air pressure at this altitude is not too low, and the boiled water can still be used to cook noodles. It is estimated that the noodles will not be cooked in the atmospheric pressure environment, and they did not bring a pressure cooker with them, so they can only eat canned dry food.

"Brother Yuan, I still remember that year when we climbed Everest with the team and finally lost at a place close to 7000 meters. Everyone was not in high spirits, but you were still in the mood to start a fire. You took out two eggs from your rucksack to cook. To use a popular phrase to describe it, my friends and I were stunned." Everyone gathered around the stove, and one of them, a middle-aged man in his fifties, recalled.

This middle-aged man is Wang Chengyuan's friend. He is the oldest in the team. He has a slightly fatter figure, but he is very strong. His name is Qi Shi. He is a Burmese Chinese who is in the jadeite business. This time he came here to find pure white jadeite.Qi Shi grew up in Myanmar since he was a child. He learned Mandarin only after he was an adult. He didn't learn it very well. His intonation and pronunciation are very strange, which makes people sound funny, but it doesn't affect communication. He is very talkative, and he is there There will be no cold spots in the place.

"My wife likes to eat hot spring eggs. It was almost her birthday. My daughter wanted to make a hot spring egg as a birthday present for her, but she couldn't do it well. Before I left home, I told my daughter to give it to my father You are a unique hot spring egg in the world. The air pressure there is just right, and the water can only be heated to about [-] degrees, which is just right for making hot spring eggs. Now that I think about it, it’s quite different.” Wang Chengyuan explained with a smile, his face It is also full of memories.

"Haha, I never thought you would do such a romantic thing, Mr. Wang. Cooking hot spring eggs on Mount Everest at an altitude of 7000 meters is probably the only thing in the world that you can do. This achievement is no less than reaching the summit of Mount Everest."

"Exactly, you have to learn from Mr. Wang, you should pay more attention to the birthday present you give me next time!"

The other two people in the team also followed suit. They are a man and a woman in their early 30s. They are a couple and are also avid mountaineering enthusiasts. Their occupations are also related to this. They run an outdoor sports equipment store. All these equipments are purchased from their shop.

The man's name is Wang Dongcheng, with a medium and well-proportioned body, very streamlined, dark skin, and he is very good at all kinds of outdoor activities. He is a professional in this field, and his girlfriend's name is Cai Qi, with short hair They are full of personality, although they look ordinary, but they look pretty when they smile. They are also lovers of outdoor sports. The two have a close friendship with Wang Chengyuan.

"What was the final result? Did Miss Wang learn how to make hot spring eggs?" Yun Li couldn't help asking curiously after hearing about Wang Chengyuan's past.

Wang Chengyuan shook his head, and sighed with a smile: "When I got home, she had long forgotten about the hot spring eggs and was obsessed with makeup. That time she just entered junior high school, and she was at the age when she first fell in love."

Yun Li had expected this outcome early on, so he couldn't help but smile cheerfully. After hearing this, Qi Shi also said, "It's been a long time since I saw your girl, and I think she's grown into a big girl now, so I'll pick her up when I go back." Give her a piece of jadeite, it will definitely set off beautifully."

Hearing that Qi Shi wanted to give jade, both Wang Dongcheng and Cai Qi were thrilled, and Cai Qi couldn't hide her envy and said: "The jade that Boss Qi gave will definitely not be ordinary goods, our Wang Da Miss is lucky."

"Haha, now that Brother Qi has spoken, I'll thank you in advance for my little girl. The jadeite of your Qi family is all produced in the high-quality tunnels in the northwest of Myanmar, and all of them are high-end routes. Almost every batch of finished products has not yet been processed. Well, someone preemptively sold out the order, it can be said that a stone is hard to find." Qi Shi wanted to give jade, Wang Chengyuan was not polite to him, and said politely with a smile.

Yunli only knew that Qi Shi was in the jadeite business, but he didn't know that the Qi family had such a great reputation. He also had a certain understanding of jadeites. More than [-]% of the real jadeites on the market today are produced in Myanmar. Therefore, jade also has another name, Myanmar jade.

It is the people in the southwest who really carry forward the jadeite. In ancient times, people discovered the preciousness of this kind of jade, but the Burmese people did not know how to process it, so they all transported the jadeite to the southwest. Finished products are made and sold all over the world.

The Qi family has been in the jadeite business for many years. Their ancestors were all jadeite craftsmen. They moved to Myanmar to settle down because of the war. Qi Shi has been dealing with jadeite since he was a child. He is a big expert in this field. It is rare to find pure white jadeite, so he accepted Wang Chengyuan's invitation to come and have a look. He also had great expectations for this mountaineering journey.

While everyone was talking, the guide had already cooked the noodles and put some homemade sauerkraut in it. Suddenly, the wooden house was filled with a sour smell, which made everyone move their index fingers. One of the guides took out disposable bowls and chopsticks and put the noodles He picked it up and distributed it to everyone, but he kept a bowl for himself but didn't eat it, but took out the biscuits and ate them with hot water.

In this world of ice and snow, it is definitely a pleasure to eat hot noodles. Although it is a very simple food, after adding sauerkraut, the sour taste makes people want to stop, especially the sour taste can make the nerves active, which is very good The refreshing thing in this environment is perfect.

The two guides Wang Chengyuan invited were two brothers, surnamed Yang, and everyone called the eldest brother Lao Yang. Lao Yang was in his forties, short and capable. Due to long-term visits to snow-capped mountains, his face had many chilblains. From a distance, his face looked red, but close It looks a little scary.He is a very good guide in the local area, and he knows Meili Snow Mountain like the back of his hand. Many teams who enter the mountain want to ask him to be a guide. If it is in other months, they may not be able to invite him to help.

As for the other guide, who is also his younger brother, everyone calls him dumb, because he can't speak, he can only make a babbling sound. With a baby face, people who don't know it may think that some naughty child broke into the mountain to play, maybe because of the communication barrier, the personality is very shy.

It was Dumb who distributed noodles to everyone just now. He wanted the bowl of noodles for his snow wolf dog. To be precise, their team consisted of seven people plus one. Every time they went into the mountains, Dumb would take it with them By my side, one person and one dog are inseparable.

The snow wolf dog is a unique creature in this plateau snow mountain. It looks like a wolf, but its personality is a dog. More, less can be tamed.The mute is not big in size, with white hair all over, only a few gray spots on the head and neck, pointed and long face, erect ears, and looks very different from ordinary domestic dogs.

Logically speaking, it must be a big risk to bring a companion who cannot speak into the mountain, because the situation in the mountain is changeable, not to mention that this is a high-altitude snow mountain, and it is often necessary to communicate and cooperate through shouting. If the information transmission is wrong , is likely to fall into danger or even lose contact. There have been many such cases in the past.

But the local people know that Dumb knows more about Meili Snow Mountain than his elder brother, and the snow wolf dog he domesticated is very psychic, and can go places that many people can't go, so it is an excellent pathfinding partner , and there is a bamboo whistle hanging around the mute's neck, which can blow out different tones for simple communication. It can be heard clearly from a hundred meters away, sometimes it is more effective than shouting, and he can also communicate with snow wolf dogs through this whistle Contact, let it do things that many human beings cannot do.

The two brothers and this snow wolf dog are the most reliable individual guide group here in Meili Snow Mountain. Wang Chengyuan found the two brothers for help only through his personal connections. People, so ordinary people dare not go deep into the snow-capped mountains at this time of year, but they have the courage and confidence.

"Mute, this dog is really intelligent. When a pup is born, give me a call, and I'll pick one up to raise." Qi Shi said to the mute, a bowl of sauerkraut noodles couldn't satisfy his desire. Appetite, he then took out a pack of beef jerky to eat, saw that the snow wolf dog had also finished eating the noodles, lying on the ground wagging its tail, looking around with bright eyes, he pulled off a piece of beef jerky and beckoned it to eat, but the snow wolf dog He didn't come over right away, but turned his head and looked at the master eagerly, waiting for his permission.
