Chapter 688: Keep going

"Xiao Ai, marry me." A feeling of happiness permeated Zhang Peng's whole body, he looked at Ai Jing's eyes, stopped smiling, and said very seriously.

"This is when you prepared to propose?" When Ai Jing heard Zhang Peng's words, she didn't struggle anymore, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

"It wasn't." Zhang Peng smiled awkwardly, "Originally, I was preparing our destination to propose to you at an altitude of four or five thousand meters." There shouldn't be many people proposing in a place that is close to the sky, but I can't stand this kind of torment. If you think about it, I finally have the opportunity to travel with two people, and I can't be with you, I can't hug you, which makes me feel like I'm wasting my life..."

"Don't say it so seriously, it's all about life." Ai Jing smiled, "Originally, I might have promised you, but you dared to lie to me with altitude sickness, so I refused." ”

"Not really." Zhang Peng wailed and immediately turned grim, "Xiao Ai, if you don't agree, I won't let go." I found out that there is even a police station here, 110 ah or anything, maybe I will Wang Laohu rob his relatives. ”

"I want to die, you were quite honest at CUHK, and now your true form is revealed. Obediently let me go and kneel on the board. ”

"No, there's no motherboard here."

"Hey, I'm out of trouble with you, I'm calling for help."

"Shout, shout and cut your throat and no one will pay attention to you."

"Broken throat, broken throat..."

"Hehe, you accept your fate." Zhang Peng pretended to be an extremely perverted wolf, lowered his head and prepared to kiss Ai Jing. But at this time, he found that Ai Jing frowned. "What's wrong?" So he asked nervously.

"It seems to be a little tight, a little dizzy." Ai Jing replied to Zhang Peng.

"Could it be that you are messing with me and have altitude sickness?" Zhang Peng was a little anxious all of a sudden.

"Possibly." Ai Jing said pitifully, "I didn't seem to have reacted just now." ”

"Then you can take a break, and I'll open the window a little more."

Zhang Peng immediately let go of Ai Jing and ran to the side to open the window.

"You don't need to open the window." At this time, Ai Jing said, "You might just take a cold shower." ”

"What does your altitude sickness have to do with me taking a cold shower?" Zhang Peng was stunned, and suddenly reacted again, "Okay, Xiao Ai, you lied to me!" ”

"Alright." Ai Jing smiled and pushed away Zhang Peng, who was pounced, "The altitude here is not low, and if you make any more trouble, you will really have altitude sickness." Settle down, and you'll have to hike for the rest of the day, and then you'll propose to me, and maybe I'll agree." ”

Ai Jing's words made Zhang Peng settle down, "I don't know what the weather will be like tomorrow." ”

Zhang Peng's tone was a little worried. This is so because anyone who has been to the foothills of these snow-capped mountains, or who has hiking experience in other plateaus, will probably know that the weather is of the essence.

During the period from dinner to close to rest, Zhang Peng and Ai Jing had already learned from the people in the vicinity. If it's a cloudy day, it's almost impossible to see the spectacular scenery of Meili Snow Mountain, even if it's already close at hand. Only on a clear day can you see the thirteen snow-capped peaks with an average altitude of more than 6,000 meters. And the place where it cattle is that the weather in this place is uncertain, sometimes it is a continuous sunny day, but it is "unhappy", ten days and a half months or even months, it is closed.

Some people can afford to wait, and some people come, but they have to leave disappointed.

Some people are said to have come three times in a row, but they have not made it to the good weather.

The next morning, when Zhang Peng and Ai Jing got up and opened the window, they were a little disappointed, because the sky was still gray, and thick dark clouds seemed to be shrouded in the foot of the mountain, just like in Tibetan Buddhist legends, there are mysterious charms guarding this mysterious snow-capped mountain.

But to everyone's surprise, after breakfast, the sky suddenly lit up, the dark clouds dispersed, and the golden sunlight began to appear in front of everyone's eyes.

The moment the dark clouds cleared, everyone was shocked, including Zhang Peng and Ai Jing.

Towering snow-capped mountains!

Zhang Peng and Ai Jing had already seen the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain before, but looking at the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain from a distance, it was only a majestic lonely peak. But the Meili Snow Mountain, which suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes, was continuous. And when the clouds cleared and the legendary mountain revealed its true face, everyone realized that it was so close to themselves.

An indescribable tower, just standing in front of you, a snow-white, legendary pure land, as if it was tumbling, was about to overwhelm everyone.

After a moment of distraction, almost all of them began to take out their cameras and shoot desperately.

In the case of fine weather, the next thing is the destination of the travel group, Mingyong Glacier.

Mingyong Glacier is the longest and largest glacier in the Meili Snow Mountain area, stretching for 11.7 kilometers from the 6,700-meter-high snow-capped mountain to the 2,600-meter primeval forest. Climbing up the Myeongyong Glacier, you can see the distribution of plants from the tropics to the northern cold zone, a forest composed of various spruce forests, and a continuous plateau meadow next to the forest. On the summer meadows, countless unknown wildflowers and mountains of rhododendrons and Gesang flowers compete with each other to bloom, like a palette that has been overturned, leaving a large area of purple and red on the huge green carpet composed of forests and grasslands.

But at this time, Zhang Peng and Ai Jing's donkey friend group broke out a second dispute.

The reason for this second dispute was that when Zhang Peng and Ai Jing were ready to go, they happened to meet a group of donkey friends who happened to come down. This group of donkey friends warned the guide Xiao Ma and Zhang Peng and their group that it is best not to take the hiking route recently, or follow the rules to walk the wooden plank road on the mountain, because this year's climate is a bit abnormal, the temperature is relatively high, and the glacier melts and collapses more severely.

Hearing such an admonition, the group of travelers immediately divided into three different opinions. The first to retreat from the idea were Xiao Lu, Lan Xiao and An Nan. The reason is simple, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, how memorable the journey is, or how important life is. While Kolo and Salen and others, including Zhang Peng and Ai Jing, maintained a central attitude, that is, they could wait to see if there was any danger, or change their route. Zhang Peng specially called his father about this, because although his father had no experience in hiking in Meili, he had a lot of experience in trekking in Tibetan Province, and Zhang Peng's father gave him advice that he should not be in a hurry, and wait and wait, because it is very likely to encounter fatal danger if he rushes into this kind of plateau area. However, Liu Li insisted on going up the mountain as originally planned, and his reason was also very legitimate, hiking in Meili Snow Mountain itself had a certain danger, and everyone had already made it clear when he came. How can you stop going because the previous donkey group said it was dangerous, and the previous donkey group didn't come down unharmed.

Liu Li's statement is a bit of a question of the courage of a group of people, so some people's hearts are moved again.

Just when the situation was unbearable, another news came that another group of donkey friends would also hike up the Mingyong Glacier and set off later.

Hearing that there were other groups of donkey friends leaving, Zhang Peng's group was inclined to set off immediately, so after discussion, it was decided to use the method of voting to see if they would set off immediately.

As a result, there were a total of twelve people with Brother Pony, and in the end, eight people voted to leave immediately. The group finally decided to set off immediately.

The group rented a total of three mules, a hybrid species with strong cold resistance and stamina, and basically all the weight was given to these three mules. The two locals were in charge of the three mules and were also guides in the mountains. Because basically no more familiar guide can compare to these locals who are here all year round.

Zhang Peng and Ai Jing both wore special assault suits, hats, and scarves wrapped tightly, not because of the cold, but because the higher the plateau, the stronger the ultraviolet rays, it is said that some people wore sunglasses to go up the mountain, but when they came down, they found that their faces were all black and purple, and only two large eye sockets were white. I want to cry without tears.

The hiking route is based on the old horse trail, and when you reach the bottom of the mountain, everyone's mood changes.

Because what you see in front of you is like the entrance to a large botanical garden, and people at the foot of the mountain are like ants, and they can't see Meili at all, and the closer you get to Meili, the more you can't see it.

The silence around is really a little scary, as if there are only a few people in the whole world, as if they are about to be swallowed up by the sacred mountain, and after walking up for a while, there is a huge sound of water, and the water that melts from the glacier merges into a rapid, along a very steep mountain, surging past the side of the road.

The scenery of this rapids is never seen anywhere else, with ice flakes and ice surging in the water, exuding a biting chill, but not far from the stream, it is full of flowers.

When Aaron saw such a scene, he immediately took out his camera and took pictures non-stop. At this time, the two locals were grunting and talking, and after listening to them for a long time, coupled with their gestures, the group understood that there was no need to take more pictures in this place, and there were more beautiful views than before. And if you keep stopping like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to see a large glacier until it gets dark.

Indeed, in this kind of plateau area, it may take ten or even a hundred steps to take a step, and Zhang Peng and Ai Jing also get up and run every morning at CUHK, but even so, it didn't take long to climb up, and Zhang Peng and Ai Jing were already panting. At first, the road was somewhat flat, but then there were basically no roads, and many of them were slopes with an inclination of more than 60 degrees, and you had to grab the wildflowers and miscellaneous trees on the side of the road to climb up.

At this time, it is basically obvious who has good physical strength and whose physical strength is poor. The whole line formed a long line. Zhang Peng and Ai Jing were fine, following Xiao Ma and the two locals and the mule, but Ah Mei and Salen and Xiao Mo were already at the back of the line. Basically, every one or twenty meters up, you need to rest for a while before you can continue to go up.

However, to Zhang Peng and Ai Jing's surprise, Liu Li's body was obviously not good, his face was even more ugly than Salen, and his lips were a little purple, but he followed without saying a word.

Is it to save face?

Ai Jing and Zhang Peng felt that it was not, but they felt that his expression was a little strange.

When people's physical strength is constantly falling into the limit, and the future seems to be far away, people's confidence can easily collapse.

When they saw a long gravel slope, almost all of them were soaking wet. At this time, An Nan couldn't help but ask Brother Xiaoma, how much has he gone?

"It's probably more than half the way to see a large glacier."

"More than half?" Zhang Peng is okay, Zhang Peng was even thinking when he was climbing, this is also a kind of exercise, if he can persevere, he will be much stronger in will and spirit, but many people are about to collapse when they hear this answer, it was okay, but when they heard it, they felt that they were about to die, and they must not be able to climb.

"It's not good if you don't go up. Unless everyone gives up. "Brother Xiao Ma finally expressed his opinion on the surname of Jianjian at this time, because he has led at least two hikes and has experience in this area." It is not as difficult to go down as it is to come up, and if a few people are scattered, it is easy to be in danger, and it is easy to get lost, either all of them go up or all of them go down. ”

As soon as Brother Xiao Ma said this, if nothing else, this group of people would probably face a second vote. But at this time, a group of people sitting on the rocky slope saw a variety of colors. "It's the group of travelers who set off later." Soon everyone saw that another group of donkey friends had slowly climbed up.

"There's no reason they can't go up, we can't."

"If we go down now, they will despise us to death."

Under such psychological factors, almost all of them did not say that they wanted to go down, and unanimously decided to continue to go up.

After going up, the hillside has become steeper and steeper, and many stones on the hillside are moving, Brother Xiao Ma in front of all the people to disperse, when stepping on it, you should try it with your hands to see if it is moving, the purpose of dispersion is to be afraid that in case a stone rolls down, it can also avoid smashing and hurting people.

I don't know how long I walked, but just when everyone felt like they were almost breaking their legs, the two locals who were already panting in front of them muttered a few words.

"Little Pony, what did they say?"

"Here, you can see a large glacier, and if we work harder, we will be there soon." Brother Pony gasped and replied.

Zhang Peng and Ai Jing were in the front, and when they heard Brother Xiao Ma say this, their eyes suddenly left their feet and looked up. They were amazed to see that black and white were revealed in the gaps in the trees, and a huge glacier was pouring down from the top of Meri. At this moment, if you use an idiom to describe Zhang Peng and Ai Jing's expressions at that time, it is jaw-dropping.
