After coming out of the fog, they came to the edge of a valley. The hollow valley is faint, standing on the cliff, the opposite mountain peak goes straight into the sky, and the valley at the foot is as deep as 1 feet, extending to the left and front to Gamagou, which makes people feel broad-minded and daunting.

however, when they began to descend, they found that what was really frightening was not the depth of the valley, but the bumpy road under their feet. The rugged mountain road winds down the slope of the valley, and the steep road is covered with loose gravel and sand.

Brother Xian is wearing a pair of casual shoes, and Xiao Hu is wearing a pair of thin military rubber shoes. Only Yanchen is wearing a pair of hiking shoes. But after two years of ups and downs, the soles of these shoes have been polished, and the uppers have been glued. It was only after two bottles of 52 glue that they barely got into the mountain.

Brother Xian walks, slipping in two steps, slipping out in three steps, and getting more and more cautious. Xiao Hu's shoes are not slippery, but the soles are too thin. He is often stumped by stones and doesn't know how to waste them. Coupled with the light rain, Yanchen had to put away his camera and walk carefully.

Brother Xian suddenly slipped and fell, so Yanchen gave her a pair of gloves for protection. Seeing that it was inconvenient for Brother Xian to use a trekking stick, he said to her, "I'll give you another trekking stick. The two trekking sticks are really more stable. You can try it first ..."

Xiao Hu also echoed: "I bought two trekking sticks in Shigatse at the beginning, and it was right!"

Brother Xian is still stubborn: "I told you, I don't need it! Don't bother me! " Say that finish, don't look back to continue to move forward.

yanchen no longer speaks.

After a short downhill journey, I was more tired than going uphill, and Brother Xian's knees began to ache. Halfway through, they had to stop to have a rest and eat some compressed biscuits for lunch, but the cold boiled firewood was still hard to swallow.

When going uphill, I just feel a little tired. When going downhill, people always feel hidden danger and pain.

After the rapid descent of several hundred meters in depth, the scenery along the way changed from grass to bushes, and even some tall shrubs grew to more than one person's height.

The only constant is that the air is still wet. The big stones rolling down from the mountains form a maze-like Stonehenge in the valley, and bright green moss covers the surface of the stones, like wearing a green hat.

A small stream runs through these rocks, which seems to be a political diplomat who is good at vertical and horizontal cooperation, and is doing something to unite with Lian Heng.

the three of them walked down the stream and headed for the destination in the lower reaches of the valley. The river is naturally formed, and the sidewalks are walked out by people coming and going. The river and the sidewalks cross forward, making this road full of natural beauty.

The flowing clear stream makes a tinkling sound, as if a wise man were telling the general philosophy of empty valley footsteps. When the gap is small, the river ripples, which is a whisper of deep still water; When the gap is large, it stirs up waves like thousands of piles of snow, which is a well-known saying.

when yanchen saw the clear stream, he said with emotion, "This water is so clear, I really want to have a drink!"

Brother Xian took it with irony and said, "Drink, drink, the bacteria are all killed." She paused and asked doubtfully, "Why are there no fish in this river?"

"The fish were all killed!"

yanchen's answer of giving him back his own way made Brother Xian laugh and cry.

the three of them laughed and walked on to the end of the valley. As early as a few kilometers away, they saw the herdsmen's house in Zhuoxiang camp, and all three felt that it was the end of today.

Just when they thought that this valley was such a path along the river all the time, they gradually found that the tracks under their feet were getting blurred and the river surface was getting wider and wider. In this way, until you reach a beach littered with rocks, the river finally merges with the sidewalk.

unfortunately, raindrops are getting denser and denser, and the stones covered with moss are getting more and more slippery. At first, all three people stepped on the stones carefully and helped each other cross the river. Every time, there was a close call and I didn't get my shoes wet.

but as the saying goes, you often walk by the river, how can you not wet your shoes? First, Yanchen slipped and soaked his right foot. Later, Xiao Hu and Xian Ge failed to escape the fate of wet shoes.

until later, when they saw that the river almost completely overflowed the stone, they let go of their hands and feet and strode up-their shoes were soaked anyway.

after passing a wooden bridge, they came to an empty platform, where there were still many signs of camping. All three of them were puzzled: Have they arrived at Zhuoxiang camp before they got out of this valley? Why is there no herdsman's house?

Yan Chen looked at the time and map and said, "There is no house here, so it should not be Zhuoxiang camp. It's still early. I'm afraid I can't reach my destination today, and the task will be too heavy tomorrow. Shall we continue to walk and see? "

Brother Xian doesn't intend to continue walking at once. After all, this is also a camp and the environment is not bad.

Xiao Hu seemed to be full of energy, so he suggested, "Why don't you wait here, Big Brother and Second Brother, and let me go to the front first to see if Zhuoxiang is far away."

yanchen pointed to a mound not far ahead: "I guess you can see it when you walk there. Then go and have a look, in case there is a house that can shelter from the wind and rain. But don't go too far, Xiao Hu. Come back if you can't see anything for twenty minutes. "

let's discuss it. Xiao Hu put down his backpack and went light, while Yan Chen and Xian Ge rested in the same place.

The news that Xiao Hu brought back later was somewhat puzzling: "I didn't see the house, but I saw some yak grazing. They stood in the way and stared at me. I didn't dare to go there and came back."

"forget it, let's camp here today."

there is light rain falling from time to time in the gloomy sky, and the fog around it is getting thicker and thicker. It seems that ice water can be squeezed out of the humid and cold air at any time. They set up the tent, threw their backpacks in, and then took out the pot to make a fire and boil water.

Today's three people have long lost the interest in building a fire yesterday, but they are too cold now, their shoes are soaked, and their bodies are still shivering from time to time.

Fire, for them, means the only comfort tonight. Their mood is even heavier and more difficult to resolve than the current weather.

The dead wood on the ground is soaked to the skin, and there are a few thick sticks around the camp that can't be used. Only the dead branches in the distant bushes can be used as fuel.

Even though a lot of barely usable dry wood is collected, the burning flame is always dying. It took three people a lot of effort to cook a pot of instant noodles, and they gave up after eating it.

Faced with this situation, and thinking of the cold and white smell of firewood today, Yanchen said, "It's too difficult to make a fire today. Let's not boil water, just drink it."

Brother Xian suddenly thought of a coup: "I have a washcloth, which can be used to filter out impurities."

Xiao Hu obviously felt that he was much more tired today than yesterday, and naturally he had no opinion, so he got up and helped Yanchen to fetch water.

They made a pile of extra firewood, and they planned to ask Xiao Tao to use more gasoline and try to make a fire after the other three people caught up.

During the busy conversation, Twelve, Xiao Tao and Rourou also arrived. Obviously, the six people are in the same mess. Xiao Tao still squinted and asked Yan Chen with a smile: "Are your shoes wet?"

yanchen said with a wry smile, "how can you walk by the river often without getting wet?"

Xiao Tao grinned and said, "I'll go. Those two are too fierce. They just came here with water running behind them."

Twelve's smile is full of bold and unrestrained mentality: "What's the difference if you just say that way, whether it's dripping or not?" ！”

Several people gathered more firewood together, poured gasoline on it and tried several times before finally lighting the bonfire. Around the blazing fire, they baked shoes and socks barefoot.

This warm camping picture is actually full of bitter antics.

Twelve is here to take care of the bonfire, while the meat has set up a small stove to cook noodles. Watching the hot steam rise, everyone worked for an hour and finally got some camp appearance.

While it was still dark, Brother Xian asked Meat to help him boil several cups of hot water and got into the tent early. Xiao Hu and Yan Chen also rested soon afterwards. Their warmth today depends entirely on the diligence of the other three people.

There are three people around the warm campfire, enjoying a little reluctant romance, while here are three people huddled in tents, killing a long time tonight.

it's getting dark.

Brother Xian is extremely cold today. She leafed through the strategy prepared in advance and said, "I have calculated that we will go to Oga or Baidang camp the day after tomorrow, and spend another day commuting to Everest base camp. It is estimated that we can go out in four or five days at most."

Xiao Hu hasn't found a cell phone signal all day, and now he is a little anxious: "Oh, if there is no signal all the time, get out quickly!"

after hearing this, yanchen felt a little surprised: "I was a little excited yesterday. Is that enough for the next day?"

Brother Xian said, "It's too cold in here. I can't stand it."

"The main reason is that there is no signal, and I can't stand it." Xiao Hu paused and continued: "Second brother, does your shoulder hurt?"

yanchen said, "thighs are more tired than shoulders." Then he said in a tone of a person who has been through it: "Heavy hiking is like this, and half of them are suffering."

Brother Xian is getting impatient: "No, let's hurry up behind, and make a quick decision. "

Xiao Tao, Shi Er, rou rou sat by the campfire and talked about everything. When the firewood was completely burned, they got up and went back to the tent to have a rest.

Today's feeling of fatigue is better than yesterday's. Fortunately, the night without violent wind and rain gives hikers a chance to sleep soundly.

P.S.

Looking at the moon dust | Yann:

Most of them write travel notes and talk nonsense about what they saw and thought at that time

Sometimes they write essays and talk nonsense about what they feel and feel today

Don't believe me, just think.
