Chapter 54: Life and Death on Mount Everest

During the next trek to EBC (Everest Base Camp), Han Yu's performance this time greatly exceeded Qi An's expectations.

Qi An originally thought that this young master just wanted to come and experience it, and he would definitely feel bored and tired halfway, and he was prepared to hear complaints——

But Han Yu persisted without saying a word.

Qi An, who was originally not optimistic about Han Yu, finally began to seriously evaluate the possibility of Han Yu's successful ascent to the top this time.

Because Qi An's task is only to ensure the safety of Hanyu, the Han family has no more requirements on whether to climb to the top.

So in Qi An's heart, he was nothing more than playing house with this young master this time, and the hardships in the middle of the journey could directly persuade this pampered guy to leave.

The route from Lukla to the Everest base camp is a sacred place in the hearts of many hikers. For Everest climbers, this is also a good training and adaptation process.

After 7 days of trekking, the day they arrived at the base camp was just in the evening, and the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the distant snow peaks with a layer of dazzling gold, rendering the ultimate spaciousness and desolation.

In this slightly flat ice and snow belt, all kinds of colorful tents are lined up together, and the national flags of various countries are fluttering in the wind - a veritable "global village".

The wind at 5000 meters is quite cold.

After Han Yu set up his tent, facing the white snow, he felt boundless emotion in his heart: he rushed the ducks to the shelves and came here. Until today, he finally had a sense of reality—he was about to challenge the top of the world!

Every climber who comes here has the same goal.

Climbers from all over the world are filled with anticipation at this moment——

About a month later, they will usher in the time window for climbing Mount Everest this year. This kind of waiting makes their hearts full of tension and excitement.

Almost all climbers on the Chinese side have heard of Qi An's name, which is not surprising at all.

On the other side of the Frenchman's tent, after seeing Qi An, a tall man was also full of joy: "Qi, I didn't expect to meet you here!"

Yuanben was keen to play around the world, and he also knew a little French. Han Yu listened carefully—they seemed to be discussing the matter of the mountaineering school.

"Qi, our Chamonix mountaineering school will start again this year. Would you like to be our coach?"

Qi An seemed to have a good relationship with that person, but in the end he rejected him: "Sorry, Joey, I have other arrangements going forward."

The Frenchman sighed bitterly: "I know, Qi, you still need to bring your business team..."

Qi An nodded: "Yes, I may take the team to Cho Oyu Peak in the future. It's the first time that the other party climbs 8000 meters, and the price is not low."

Hearing this, Han Yu fully understood the point of the dispute between them-the French were distressed by the talented Qi An, who could not spend more time focusing on climbing.

The reasons for this are clear:

Qi An also has a younger sister who suffers from congenital heart disease. As she grows older, in order to maintain her physical condition, the medical expenses spent on her younger sister will become more and more expensive.

All this is doomed that his climbing path cannot be so pure.

The French were quite sorry: "Qi, our principal has always thought that you are a genius in alpine climbing, but unfortunately you always need to spend a lot of time on commercial climbing. We have invited several excellent coaches in this issue. If you can work together Staying in Chamonix for a while, I think it will be of great help to improve your skills."

"Thank you for your kindness, Joey," Qi An suddenly thought of something else,

"My disciple, Xiao Shan, may go to your school for advanced studies in the next school year. He is a Sherpa with excellent physical and psychological qualities. I believe he will definitely gain a lot in your school."

"Oh, this is great," Joey was obviously motivated by the news, "We welcome everyone who loves climbing to join us."

In the 5000-meter zone, Qi An was really popular.

People may not know who Han Yu is at all, but most of them have heard of Qi An's name. "Qi" from China is a respected existence in this camp.

----

There are thousands of lights in the camp at night.

Every tent is gradually lit up, and the red, yellow, and blue alpine tents of various colors are instantly transparent, looking from a distance like the gathering of bright lights of the Lantern Festival.

The giant snow-capped peak that has been frozen for thousands of years.

The everlasting curtain of night.

Make the noise of the crowd seem insignificant like a speck of dust.

Qi An skillfully heated the food he had brought over the lit gas stove. To be honest, life in the base camp did not seem so difficult.

Because a base has already been built here, every year before the climbing season, Sherpas will deliver various materials in advance to provide basic logistics services for these people involved in commercial climbing.

Later, more and more people came to the base camp every year—there even started to have chefs here!

All kinds of life services are so perfect that it doesn't look like a desolate snow peak at an altitude of 5000 meters, but like a small town inhabited in a certain polar region.

The aroma of pasta began to diffuse.

Qi An told intentionally or unconsciously: "As the altitude rises, the burden on the body will become heavier and heavier. It is best that you don't bring too many things."

Han Yu thought about it - most of his things were handed over to the cooperation of the mountaineering company, and he didn't bring much with him.

Sister Fang smiled and said nothing. She must take the photo of her husband.

Qi An distributed the hot pasta on the gas stove to everyone's bowls one by one, and then called Han Yu's name: "Xiaoyu, last time I saw that you seemed to have a jade pendant with you?"

Han Yu looked up blankly: "Yes, can't you bring this too?"

"Your jade pendant is the piece that Mr. Han gave you when you were born, right?" Sister Fang knew the situation clearly, "You may not have climbed 8000 meters before, and the title of death zone is not just for fun. A little added burden on the body may lead to irreversible results in the end."

"After the altitude rises, the air pressure is greatly reduced and the oxygen becomes thinner. This is actually not a place that human physical fitness can challenge." Qi An explained the principle more thoroughly, "Although we will Carry oxygen, but your thinking will be rigid and your actions will be slow - if you really want to climb Everest, at that time, I am afraid that you can only rely on the instinct honed in countless trainings to support you."

Although the 7000-meter-level Muztagh Peak had been passed by Han Yu without any risk, the 8000-meter-level Everest, the world's highest peak, was more difficult than he imagined.

Han Yu struggled for a while: "Okay, I will clean up my things when I go to the summit."

"Your jade pendant, did your family call you?" Qi An seemed unusually gossipy today, and even cared about this kind of issue.

"Yes, when I was full moon, my grandfather asked someone to carve it. It is said that it is the masterpiece of the master." Han Yu touched the jade pendant on his neck and saw that it was carefully maintained, "I have never left my body since I was young. of."

"Then other people in your family have the same jade pendant?" Qi An seemed very interested in this jade pendant, and continued to ask along the topic of Han Yu.

Han Yu was a little surprised by Qi An's sudden attention, but he answered the question honestly: "It seems that there are grandchildren who are custom-made according to the zodiac, and those in my uncle's family have always hung jade On the body."

"That's it." Qi An finally stopped here and did not delve into it further, "Xiaoshan also has a string of Buddhist beads that never leave his body."

Xiao Shan bared his white teeth and shook the Buddhist beads in his hand: "My fiancée asked me to get them from the temple."

Han Yu looked surprised: "You actually have a fiancée?"

There was a suspicious tinge of red on Xiao Shan's face, although it was not obvious due to his dark complexion, it was still keenly captured by Han Yu.

"My fiancée was chosen by my mother. She is very kind and beautiful. I will go back and marry her when I earn enough money." When mentioning his beloved girl, Xiao Shan was eloquent.

Everyone listened with great interest to him constantly showing off his sweetheart, which added a bit of fun to this icy and snowy night.

At the end, on the spur of the moment, Xiao Shan sent everyone a huge gossip: "Here, my master, don't look at him with a cold face all the time, he has always had a girl he cares about."

Han Yu turned his head to look at Qi An's immobile and cold face—he was caught off guard by Xiao Shan's gossip about him at this moment, and couldn't help frowning.

Han Yu was overjoyed: "Really? I can't even imagine that Brother Qi would have a girl he likes hahaha."

Regardless of his master's cold face, Xiao Shan leaned directly into Han Yu's ear: "According to master, if he hadn't met that girl, he probably wouldn't have embarked on the road of mountain climbing."

Qi An coughed heavily: "Xiaoshan, why are you talking so much today? Are you afraid that others will think you are dumb?"

Xiao Shan laughed a bit: "Master, I'll just talk casually, talk casually..."

Han Yu's gossip started, as if a cat's paw was scratching in his heart-this story sounds a bit romantic, but when it appeared in a stern person like Qi An, it showed a sharp contrast of iron blood and tenderness.

It's a pity that Qi An obviously didn't mean to explain, Xiao Shan shrugged helplessly: "That's all I know..."

As the night deepened, the camp gradually quieted down, and Qi An was lying in his sleeping bag, tossing and turning——

As of today, he felt that he was infinitely close to the answer, but he was still not pierced through the last layer of mist, which made him a little uneasy.

After struggling for a while, he got up and took out the satellite phone.

"Hello? Ah Xiu, I want to ask, the generation of the Han family..."

The vague voice of the call gradually dissipated in the cold wind.

And Han Yu, who was sleeping in the other tent, turned over in a daze—this dream seemed sweet and charming.

The author has something to say: Qi·Thinking·Great God: Now, I just need to make sure of one question—their Han family, who belongs to the dog?

Han Trembling Little Feather: Just, just me (T_T)
