Everest

"Hey, what's going on?" Yong Ke poked Lin Sheng on the dinner table.

Lin Sheng was devouring the meat, when suddenly he was poked, and the meat caught on the chopsticks rolled onto the table with a flicker. He gave Yong Ke a sad look, and hurriedly picked up the meat and stuffed it into his mouth. The cooked hot meals are one less meal, and must not be wasted.

"What's the matter?"

Yong Ke sneakily pointed at Shen Biwen who was sitting across from him with his chopsticks, and then pointed at Geng Aiqing who was sitting next to Lin Sheng with his head bowed to eat: "They two! I heard they got into a fight this morning?"

Lin Sheng pressed her chopsticks down with his chopsticks, and said in a low voice, "Don't point! It's hard for Ai Qing to eat so quietly!"

"Hahaha..." Yong Ke smiled at him, then turned around and asked in a serious manner, "Hey, Xiao Shen, I heard that you had a fight with Xiao Qingqing this morning?"

Lin Sheng: "..."

It was Shen Biwen who asked this question, but Geng Aiqing responded repeatedly as if suddenly igniting the line of fire: "No! Who fought with him!"

"Really?" Yong Ke obviously didn't believe it, "When I went out with Sister Bing in the house in the morning, I heard someone said that there was a fight at the hot spring. I asked around and found out that it was the two of you? I heard that they were beaten in the pool and went back to the house to fight?"

"Really not!" Geng Aiqing felt aggrieved when he thought about what happened in the morning, and he finally got his brain back after noon. How could it be called a fight? First, he hugged someone in the pool and did not let go, and took away his clothes Not to mention, he even took away his panties, and then this man Shi Shiran slipped away in front of him, and left without any injuries, but he himself stayed on the bed for a long time before forcibly removing the underwear. The organs were driven out of the brain and suffered great mental damage!

Geng Aiqing has never been so aggrieved at such a young age, but how can I say this, I can't point at Shen Biwen and call him gay!

Also too cheap.

"We didn't fight in the pool, we were just joking around, and later he followed me back to the house to find me to get something!" Geng Aiqing explained that it was not enough, and emphasized, "I really didn't fight."

"There was no fight." Seeing Geng Aiqing's urgent and pale-faced explanation, Shen Biwen couldn't help laughing, "He took my underwear away, and I went to get it."

Geng Aiqing's face turned green.

"Why are you so happy?" Pei Lei just came from Li Yongshan's side and couldn't help asking after seeing them smiling so happily.

Geng Aiqing, who was the most unhappy, rolled his eyes: "It's nothing, they just tapped the laughing point..."

Pei Lei shook his head with a smile, and then said something serious.

Before the meal, Li Yongshan called the captains of several of their teams to hold a meeting, saying that he would go to the conference room of the base for a welcome meeting after dinner, because the Sherpas who were originally scheduled to arrive in the afternoon We had to arrive early, and it would be almost done after they finished their meal. Li Yongshan meant to welcome the Sherpas, and by the way, hold a small welcome party for climbers who came from afar.

Ai Qing felt that it was very troublesome, so she turned her head and asked Lin Sheng next to her, "What are you doing in the meeting? Why don't you just let someone come over for a meeting?"

Lin Sheng smiled and said: "It's not that simple. Generally speaking, it is the person in charge here. Here, it is Director Li. He is in charge of the contact between the two sides, and then he will simply help us assign it. There will be another grouping at the base camp, depending on the actual situation."

"Then our guide isn't sure yet?" Geng Aiqing asked strangely, didn't he say it was settled before?

"Ours is different." Yong Ke continued, "Our guide is Xiao Shen's friend, he found him, and he should have followed us all the time."

"Then..." Geng Aiqing wanted to say why go to the meeting after everything is confirmed, but before he could say it, Shen Biwen had already agreed.

"Hey, who said we're going..." Geng Aiqing didn't want to talk to Shen Biwen, and couldn't understand his attitude, so she couldn't help muttering.

Shen Biwen turned his head and glanced at him: "We still have to participate in group activities. It's better for everyone to get to know each other, because we don't know if we will need their help."

"..." Geng Aiqing snorted and said nothing.

-

The meeting room that Li Yongshan mentioned is actually a very ordinary cement one-story house. Inside, a circle of tables and chairs are set up in a manner that looks like a meeting room. There are also blue and white porcelain teacups on each seat. Geng Aiqing has arrived. At that time, I was surprised to find that they still hung red banners in the house, probably to welcome guests from afar.

Li Yongshan has arrived. There are five dark-skinned men sitting next to him. They should be the Sherpa guides who have already arrived. Besides them, there are already many people in the room. After a rough count, there are probably already There were more than a dozen, including Geng Aiqing and five of them, and another team came later. There were about 30 people in total. Geng Aiqing looked at the crowded conference room and whispered to Lin Sheng: "This is all Come to climb Mount Everest?"

"That's right." Lin Sheng seemed not surprised, "It's rare at this time, and some of them have already arrived at the base camp. This is the best time to climb Mount Everest. Basically, anyone who has an idea will catch up at this time. came."

"So many people?"

"Climbing Mount Everest is not as difficult as it used to be. Of course everyone wants to try it." Yong Ke lowered his voice with a laugh, "However, there are not many people who have actually climbed up. Most of them will come down after halfway or before reaching the summit. .”

"Oh..." Geng Aiqing raised his head to look at the people around him. Although everyone looked different, the expressions on their faces were surprisingly similar.

It was an exhilarating thrill.

Geng Aiqing couldn't help touching her face, thinking, does my own face have the same expression?

A simple welcome meeting was held by Li Yongshan for more than two hours. Geng Aiqing felt that his bladder was going to explode. He listened to it for a while at first, but what Li Yongshan said was all about development and what Hearing about culture, his brain hurts, and he was embarrassed to sleep, so he had to drink tea desperately. He almost drank the bottle of hot water on the corner of his desk. When it was almost the end, he just wanted to find a place Put the water away quickly.

By the time Geng Aiqing finished filling the water and came back, there were not many people in the meeting room, and the other teams had taken their guides to share their experience of climbing Mount Everest. Only Shen Biwen and the others were left in the meeting room. Talking to a dark man, Lin Sheng and the others gathered around and listened. Seeing him coming back, Lin Sheng waved to him.

Shen Biwen also ended the conversation with the man, turned around and introduced him, "This is Lausanne, our guide."

After finishing speaking, Shen Biwen murmured a few words to the man, probably saying his name. After the man finished listening, he blinked at Geng Aiqing, grinned and showed a big smile, and then went up The former said a series of words to him quickly.

"Losang said it was a pleasure meeting you." Shen Biwen explained, "Luosang can't speak Chinese, but only a little English. I can just come and communicate with you."

"Do you speak Tibetan?" Geng Aiqing asked subconsciously.

Shen Biwen shook his head: "I only know a little bit, but simple communication is still possible."

The relationship between Luosang and Shen Biwen seems to be very good. When Shen Biwen was talking, Luosang kept looking at him and smiling. With pure eyes, I suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

-

"What??!" Geng Aiqing jumped up from the bed like a carp, and Lin Sheng, who was fiddling with the camera next to him, was taken aback.

"What did you just say?" Geng Aiqing quickly ran out of bed and went to Lin Sheng's side, and said with wide eyes, "That Luosang has been to Mount Everest five times?"

"That's right." Lin Sheng moved to the side, for fear of damaging his precious camera, "I thought you asked before, I have reached the summit five times, if I can reach the summit this time, it should be the sixth time gone."

Geng Aiqing recalled that dark-skinned man, and said in disbelief, "So powerful?"

"He started to climb Mount Everest with his predecessors when he was a teenager. It should be ten years this year, but I don't know the details. Brother Shen should be more clear."

When Shen Biwen was mentioned, Geng Aiqing paused, coughed and asked, "What is his relationship with that Lausanne? How did we know each other?"

"I don't know about that. Brother Shen just mentioned it when he came here to look for him before. Anyway, they have known each other for many years."

"Oh……"

Lin Sheng suddenly remembered, and reminded him: "You don't have much experience in climbing Mount Everest, so go talk to him more, I think he's pretty good, he should be easy to talk to."

Geng Aiqing absent-mindedly replied, for some reason, he suddenly felt a little boring.
