Vermillion mole

Chen Pi Asi glanced at him, shook his hands and said with a smile: "Our business has never relied on a large number of people. After crossing the snow line, you will know that you are right to follow me."

Their conversations are all in dialect. Shunzi, who can't speak Chinese well, can't understand it, but he has been a guide for many years, and he knows that don't listen to what the guests say. If you listen too much, they might silence you. .

Continue to go up until you see some dilapidated wooden houses and wire gates in front of you, with the slogan "the territory of the motherland is sacred and inviolable" written on it.

Shunzi said: "This is the supply station for the outpost on the snow mountain. After the multilateral talks, several outposts here have been changed, and this place is also deserted. The outposts on the snow line are also deserted. Let's go up. If so, I will have a chance to take a look at that time.”

There was nothing to say that night, so I spent the night here, and got up early the next morning to continue my journey.Shunzi finds it strange that few tourists work so hard, but tourists who earn money are also free.

When we got up, it had started to snow and the temperature dropped sharply.Zhu Sha touched the pimples on her face, it was already a little dry and cracked from the cold.

Going up and crossing the snow line, I finally saw the snow.It was sparse at first, and it got thicker as it went up, and there were fewer and fewer trees, and there were more and more stones. Chen Pi Asi said that this was the trace of the construction here.

By noon, the surroundings of us were all white, and the snow on the ground was so thick that there was no way to go. It all depended on Shunzi leading the horse to clear the way.At this time, a strong wind suddenly blew up, Shunzi looked at the clouds, and asked us: "Why don't we come here today, there may be strong winds this day, just enjoy watching the snow-capped mountains, and there will be danger if we go higher."

Chen Pi'a breathed out and waved his hands, asking him to wait: "We stopped to rest, ate some dry food, and a few people went around to look at the scenery."

Now on the ridge of a low mountain, you can see the virgin forest that you walked through when you came here. He looked over, pointed to a large depression, and said to us: "In ancient times, materials were used locally when building mausoleums. Look at this large area. The forest is obviously worse than the one next to it. It must have been cut down a hundred years ago, and although we walked hard along the way, there were no particularly difficult obstacles. There must have been a major ancient project near here. The mountains in this area have been repaired. The general direction is right, and we have to go up.”

Ye Cheng asked: "Old man, there are more than a dozen peaks in this mountain range, and they all go up from here. How can we find them?"

Chen Pi'a said four times: "Let's take a look. There must be a vision where the dragon's head is. The place where the ley line stops is a dragon. There are many mountains here, but there is only one ley line. We are walking along the ley line now. I'm not afraid that I won't be able to reach it. At most, it will take a little time. It's just time."

When Shunzi heard that he had to go up, he sighed, shook his head and said, "If you go up further, you can't ride a horse, you have to use a horse-drawn snow plow. Changbai Mountain is actually the most convenient place for transportation in winter. Except for snowstorms, horses are generally used Pulling a snow rake and plow can climb anywhere a horse can go, but once the wind blows, you have to listen to me in everything, and I will come back when I say it, and there must be no objection.”

They all nodded in agreement, unloaded the luggage from the horses, put them on the plow, and when they were ready, Shunzi yelled and whipped his whip to lead the way, our horses automatically followed behind, and a group of people galloped through the snow.

I ran like this until the sky turned gray, the wind became stronger and stronger, and the horse walked slower and slower.I had to wear goggles to look forward. There were white snowflakes everywhere. I don’t know if it fell from the sky or was blown from the snow-capped mountains. My ears were filled with the sound of wind.

As he was running, Shunzi's horse stopped in front of him, and everyone surrounded him and asked him what was the matter. He clicked his tongue and said, "The wind is too strong. It seems that there has been an avalanche here. The landscape is different. I feel a little I don’t know. Also, look, the snow in front of you is covered with snow from the mountains above. It’s too deep and too loose. When you step on it, it will reach the belly of the horse. The horse refuses to go over it. There are air bubbles under this kind of snow, which is easy to slide and collapse. , it’s very dangerous, and you can’t walk in groups when you leave.”

"Then what should we do?" Pan Zi looked at the sky, "Looking at the weather, it doesn't seem too good. Can we go back?"

Shunzi looked at the sky and at the crowd.Said: "I can't tell. But once the wind blows, it won't stop for two days and two nights. We must be at a dead end here. We are not far from the abandoned border guard post. We can avoid the wind there." Snow, I think it’s too late to go back, we can walk there.”

The fat man pressed his ear-covered felt hat and took a tentative step. As a result, he was buried in the snow all the way to his thigh.He took a difficult step forward and scolded: "He has suffered for some crimes."

Putting on snowshoes, facing the wind, I pulled the sledge and walked in the snow with difficulty. This place is a tuyere, which is the middle of the ridges on both sides. The wind is so strong, no wonder there will be an avalanche.Everyone walked into the wind, Shunzi said that the sentry post would be there in an hour, but we didn't know that we were walking too slowly.Or Shunzi had taken the wrong way at all, and after six o'clock in the evening, there was still no shadow of the sentry post.

Shunzi wandered back and forth, puzzled, and after thinking about it again, he suddenly groaned: "It's over, I know where this sentry post is now!"

His face was extremely ugly, and he said: "Why didn't I think of it, this means a small avalanche, the sentry post must have been buried by the snow, it's right under our feet, no wonder we couldn't find it after wandering around for a long time!"

Pan Zi sighed, and said something, judging by the shape of his mouth: "Mom, fuck me!"

The fat man yelled and asked Shunzi: "Then what should we do now? The horse is gone, so is it possible that we are going to die here?"

Shunzi pointed to the front and said: "There is one last hope. I remember that there should be a hot spring nearby. It is in a mountain bag and the temperature is very high. If we can get there, we can live for several days with the food, then The altitude of the hot spring is higher than here, so it should not be buried by snow. If you really can’t find it, then you only have the will to survive, and you will walk back step by step.”

"Are you sure?" The fat man began to distrust Shunzi.

Shunzi nodded: "This time, I will definitely not make a mistake. If I can't find it, you will deduct my wages."

Everyone was crying, and followed Shunzi to go up.The sky was getting darker and darker, Shunzi suddenly fainted to the ground, Zhu Sha rushed over to help Shunzi, Wu Xie ran up, Zhang Qiling also chased after him, and when he saw Shunzi, he took him into his arms.Zhang Qiling turned his back directly.

As soon as the fat man saw Shunzi, he made a very strange expression, and shouted: "What the hell kind of guide is this? Don't tell me you don't know the way. He fainted before we fainted. What should we do?" He I still want to scold again, but I don't know where the rest of the words will be blown by the wind.

Zhu Sha looked around, and the situation around her was completely out of control.The strong wind with a lot of snowflakes was hit by the rocks and circled around, and nothing could be seen one meter away. The footprints when they came were almost blown away by the wind.I can't even tell the difference between south, east and north. The strong wind blows over, and I can't even lift my head. If I stand up, I will be blown down.

Everyone's faces were pale, and Chen Pi'a had four eyes. It seemed that the old man had already entered a semi-comatose state under such an extreme environment.Even if Shunzi didn't fall, he certainly wouldn't last long.

Pan Zi said: "We can't stop and wait to die. The hot spring may be nearby. We scattered to look for it. When we found it, we pulled the rope as a signal."

Zhu Sha said, "Follow me, I can find it."

Seeing that Zhu Sha was willing to help, Chen Pi'a immediately got up and followed Zhu Sha, and the rest followed suit.

Zhu Sha has been leading Wu Xie, who is like a walking corpse, and Wu Xie is already extremely weak.The crowd followed Zhu Sha for an unknown amount of time, and finally stopped.

At this time, Ye Cheng suddenly heard a cry: "Wait, wait! Fuck you! Don't go down, what is that in the snow?"
