Manor Romance

Chapter 145 Determining the Route
The mute stretched out his fingers and nodded to the snow wolf dog, and it roared happily, wagged its tail and took Qi Shi's beef jerky in its mouth, and returned to the mute to enjoy it slowly. Lao Yang gestured a few times, Lao Yang came over knowingly, Qi Shi said:

"The mute said that his snow wolf dog bloodline is not pure. If Boss Qi wants a good one, he has to go to the Tibetan area. Some herdsmen have pure snow wolf puppies, which are better looking than his."

Hearing what Lao Yang said, Qi Shi waved his hands and said: "It's not good to see, but spirituality is the most important thing. I think yours is very psychic. It seems to understand everything we say, and understands rules." Be well-behaved, and people like it when they look at it.”

Hearing Qi Shi's praise, the Snow Wolfdog seemed to understand it, turned its head and barked at him twice, which made Qi Shi laugh even more. After it finished eating the beef jerky, Yun Li went Beckoning at it, the Snow Wolfdog ran over without even thinking about it, Yun Li put the biscuit in his hand to its mouth, but this time the Snow Wolfdog didn't look back at the dumb, just ate the biscuit, and even used it affectionately. Rubbing his head against Yunli's hand, everyone was very surprised.

"Brother Yunli, what method did you use to make the snow wolf dog so obedient? Could it be that it likes biscuits more than beef jerky?" Seeing this scene, Qi Shi was also quite confused, and asked Yunli for help.

"Except for Dumb and me, this snow wolf dog usually doesn't eat food given by other people. Does this little brother have any secrets for dog training?" Lao Yang also asked at the same time.

While tickling the snow wolf dog, Yun Li replied: "Cheats, maybe my scratching skills are not bad, you see how it is enjoying itself, does it look like it just came out of the bathing center and feels comfortable all over. "

After listening to Yunli's explanation, everyone laughed. Under Yunli's scratching, the snow wolf dog really felt good. Cai Qi even joked that the snow wolf dog fell in love with Yunli, a handsome guy. Wait for them After going down the mountain, maybe he would throw himself into his arms and follow Yunli home, so that the mute could watch.But the mute didn't care much. Although he couldn't speak, he could understand everyone's meaning, and even gave Yunli a thumbs up to show his admiration.

The main reason why the snow wolf dog is so friendly to Yunli is that Yunli's breath makes it feel very pleasant, and it will approach it unconsciously, scratching is also one of the reasons, Yunli released a bird of light to tickle it Mao, the snow wolf dog has no resistance to this. In the past two days after entering the mountain, whenever it has free time, it will cling to Yunli and ask him to scratch it like a baby. Every time it gets what it wants, it has a very happy life.

Yunli also loves this snow wolf dog very much. He has the same plan as Qi Shi, and wants to raise one in the manor in the future. He never had any pets when he was growing up, so if he really wanted to keep a snow wolf dog, he would have to think carefully about it.

After the rest, everyone continued on their way. They had to reach the next supply point before dark, which was also the last supply point on this mountain road. After that, there was no fixed route to go, and they had to re-plan the next itinerary.

Walking in the vast snow-capped mountains is a very lonely thing. Even if there are people walking in front of you and behind you, most of the time, everyone is walking silently. What you hear is not the whistling wind and snow, but your own breathing and heartbeat. What can appear in the mind are the most ordinary pictures in the daily life. Compared with the current situation, the frequent switching between the familiar and the unfamiliar is a huge test of the will.

Yunli is no exception, sometimes he really wants to call back to the manor to inquire about the situation, or call Aunt Fang or Lily to talk, but this can only be an extravagant wish, there is no signal in the snow-capped mountains, and in the low temperature environment, even many Electronic instruments would fail and be damaged, so they left all their mobile phones at the foot of the mountain, and only brought emergency lighting tools and a compass dial. Lao Yang had a satellite phone at his place, but they could only contact a few emergency departments at the foot of the mountain. , is the most important tool for calling for help.

The trip in the afternoon was not smooth. Not long after they set off, they encountered rainy and snowy weather, and the road was slippery, which greatly affected their speed. They also encountered a small-scale avalanche halfway, which blocked the original road. Let them go around for a long time, and finally rushed to the last supply point in the dark.

After settling down, everyone went to pack tents and sleeping bags. Lao Yang and Dumb continued to light a fire and cook noodles. During dinner, everyone gathered around the fire and discussed tomorrow's itinerary while eating noodles. From then on, there was no clear plan. This also means that the risks of the next itinerary will be greatly increased, and everyone has to plan carefully.

Wang Chengyuan spread the topographic map of Meili Snow Mountain on the ground, pointed to their current location and said, "Our current location is here, at an altitude of 500 meters, and we are still 1000 meters above sea level from our destination, Shuangling Valley. Height, and we don't know the exact location, we can only confirm that it's in this area from the news." While speaking, his fingers moved to a mountainous area in the northwest of the map.

Everyone has seen this picture before and has a certain understanding of the surrounding terrain. Qi Shi was the first to express his opinion: "In my opinion, we can continue to go north. After climbing the main peak, we can go west. In the past, but this will miss the area of ​​the southern valley, which is within the scope of exploration, and the emerald may be in it, and this route will be farther away, and it will take more effort."

"However, if you take the road to the west valley, there are too many mountains to cross, and it is easy to encounter avalanches. It is not a good choice in any way."

"Besides, it has just rained and snowed this afternoon. I'm afraid that there will be too much snow here, and there will be nowhere to put my feet. It will be troublesome to turn back." Wang Dongcheng expressed his opinion, and Cai Qi also expressed his worries.

The analysis of the three of them made sense, so Wang Chengyuan turned his attention to brother Lao Yang and asked, "Based on your experience, Lao Yang, which side should we go for?"

Lao Yang put down the noodle bowl and replied: "To be on the safe side, follow the route that the boss said. I also don't recommend taking the valley to the west. The risk is too great, and this area is an unexplored area. We should not set foot in it." For good."

It seems that everyone's opinions tend to go north, there are only two roads, there are not many choices, Yunli knows that Wang Chengyuan wants to save time, but he must take everyone's opinions into consideration, and Yunli has no opinion, everyone chooses Whichever one, he will follow. His goal is wild plum blossom, as long as the action is to get closer to his goal.

"Well, let's go north first, but it's not the main peak, but turn west here. There is a glacier here. We can follow the river to the foot of the snowy ridge on the right. This is close to our destination. , we will go through this valley and search from south to north, and we can come back from the north when we return.” Wang Chengyuan pondered for a while before explaining his ideal route to everyone.

"This is indeed a compromise solution. It can save a lot of time and won't miss the area to the south. What do you think?" Qi Shi quite agrees with this solution.

"We have no objection, so let's follow Mr. Wang's plan." Cai Qi also agreed, Wang Dongcheng's meaning was naturally the same as hers, and even Yunli nodded to indicate that it was feasible.

Seeing that everyone had reached a consensus, Lao Yang didn't make any suggestions, and said, "Let's make it so. I will inform the mountain of our walking route later. Everyone is tired today, so let's rest early."

After agreeing on the itinerary, everyone went to rest. In the afternoon, they were really exhausted. Yunli didn't feel too tired, and he wasn't used to going to bed so early, so he left the wooden house and planned to find someone outside. Practice in the local area for a while, although the environment here is not as good as the manor, but the practice cannot be left behind.

After the rain and snow, the night sky is very clear, and the moonlight tonight is also very good. With the help of the reflection of the ice and snow, it spreads to every corner. Even without special induction, Yunli can see the way ahead clearly.

Except for the snow field, there are sparse forests and rocks all around. It is very desolate. After wandering around, Yun Li couldn't find a suitable place to practice. A Taoist figure came towards him, and he subconsciously hid in a big tree behind him.

Before they arrived, Yunli knew their identities. They were Wang Dongcheng and Cai Qi. They didn't seem to be walking and talking. One of them was holding a compass and the other was holding a latitude and longitude instrument. They seemed to be measuring something. I didn't see the two of them taking these two things out, and why did this kind of thing have to be done at night, this aroused Yunli's interest.

The two of them didn't realize that there was a third person, and continued with their work without saying a word in between. Yun Li didn't understand what they were doing. After following for a while, they still didn't find anything, so they moved forward Back at the cabin, without disturbing anyone, I went back to my tent to rest.

Not long after, Wang Dongcheng and Cai Qi also tiptoed back to the wooden house, and they went to rest without saying a word.

Early the next morning, Lao Yang cooked noodles for breakfast as usual, and boiled a pot of hot water for everyone to fill up the water bottles. After that, there would be no replenishment points to rest. After everyone was ready, they followed the same schedule as last night. The agreed route continued northwards.

Their team is based on Wang Chengyuan, not because he is rich and the boss of a large group, but because his climbing experience is no less than that of Lao Yang brothers, and he has clear thinking and good judgment, which makes everyone very convinced, just like When discussing the itinerary last night, if he hadn't dominated the overall situation, everyone must have reached a consensus so quickly.

Although Lao Yang brothers are the guides, planning the route should be decided by them, but when encountering a capable employer like Wang Chengyuan, they usually have their own ideas and will not act according to the established route, so It's fine for them to help from the side, as long as they don't get involved in dangerous situations or do things beyond their capabilities, not to mention that Wang Chengyuan paid them a lot of guide fees.
