In the reception room of the hotel, Chen Mu met the three people who were about to go up the mountain together.
The person who is engaged in real estate and others is called Lin Yuanchun. He is less than forty. Although he is short, he is in good health. It is said that he has always participated in outdoor sports. Although this is the first time to climb the "8000+", he has climbed some in China. Shan is considered an amateur player with some experience.
The man who plays the game is called Zhang Jiahui, which has the same pronunciation as the Hong Kong actor.
His company has produced several games, which are quite popular and are said to be on the market soon.
Zhang Jiahui also climbed the "8000+" for the first time. Like Chen Mu, he had no mountaineering experience and came to K2 for his first time climbing.
He has an average body and is a bit puffy. Although he is less than thirty, he does not look as good as Lin Yuanchun.
The remaining person is a Chinese woman in her thirties. She only has an English name, Manny. I don¡¯t know her origin. Anyway, Xia Guohua doesn¡¯t speak very well, so she can only say ¡°nice to meet you¡± at best. .
Lin Yuanchun didn't know if he was in the real estate business and dealt with a lot of people, so he was obviously very good at interpersonal communication. He made people feel cosmopolitan when talking and doing things. As soon as he arrived, he exchanged contact information with Chen Mu without saying a few words. He started shouting "Brother Chen, Brother Chen".
¡°On the contrary, Zhang Jiahui had a bit of an otaku attribute. He didn¡¯t talk much and didn¡¯t seem to be very open-minded. He shook hands and stood aside and stopped talking.
The guide for Lin Yuanchun and the three of them was named Dorje Wangdui, and he was obviously from Tibet.
He looks paler than Phuntsok Tashi and looks closer to a Xia person.
Phuntsok Tashi and Dorje Wangdui went to the side and started talking in Tibetan. I didn¡¯t know what they were talking about. After a while, they came back and said to the four climbers: "Today we are in the hotel." There are a lot of people, and we can¡¯t eat in the hotel restaurant, so we simply take you out for a walk and have something to eat along the way.¡±
no problem¡¡
When I entered the hotel just now, I saw the situation in the lobby. It was packed with people. I don¡¯t know if the guest capacity of this hotel is so high that it can accommodate so many people.
Led by two Tibetan guides and Zaher, four climbers followed them out.
Under normal circumstances, these people should also be equipped with a translator, but Zaher¡¯s English is pretty good and he can communicate with the two Tibetan guides, so there is no need for a translator, which can be regarded as saving money.
Walking on the street, it feels like a remote small town in China. There is only one road and two rows of small shops on the roadside. The storefronts are not big and simple, and the surrounding environment looks particularly desolate.
After leaving for a while, Manny asked Zaher in English curiously: "Why don't any shops here seem to be open?"
Zaher lowered his voice a little and explained: "There is a strike nearby recently to protest against the high prices."
Zaher glanced at Manny and said: "Most of our people here are good people and are very kind to outsiders like you, but because this is a rural place, there are still some old stubborn people. Kadu, you'd better try to wear something that can cover your hands and feet."
Because the weather was very hot, Manny was wearing shorts and short sleeves, exposing her long legs. It might be normal in other places, but in a place like this where skin cannot be easily exposed, it is eye-catching.
Manny glanced at herself, nodded and said: "Thank you for the reminder, Zaher."
"You're welcome!"
Zaher smiled and added: "After we start entering the mountains, it doesn't matter what you wear."
His voice was very small, and he spoke English very fast and with a heavy accent. It was estimated that only Manny and Chen Mu could understand him on the spot.
Chen Mu naturally pretended not to hear anything and just looked around.
Perhaps it is true as Zaher said. Due to the strike today, many shops are not open. There are some roadside stalls selling fruits, just like some domestic vendors selling roasted sweet potatoes or watermelons on the roadside. Just buy it directly.
What Chen Mu didn¡¯t expect was that in such a dry place, there were actually coconuts, cut into petals, which was particularly attractive.
Chen Mu felt his mouth was a little dry, so he walked over and asked about the price.
It was said that he was asking, but in fact it was just Hu gesture. Seeing this, Zaher came over and said: "10 rupees per petal."
Is it so real?
When Chen Mu heard the price, he was shocked.
? 10 rupees per petal, only 60 cents, this coconut only costs 10 rupees, I only focus on eating French fries and fried chicken.
Manny was more polite. She tore the pancakes and dipped them in the curry sauce and ate them slowly, which was delicious.
Among the people, only Lin Yuanchun didn't eat. He glanced at the things in front of him and said with a smile: "Would any of you eat my share? I don't eat this kind of thing."
This kind of thing?
Chen Mu blinked his eyes and said nothing.
The two Tibetan tour guides were not polite and immediately shared Lin Yuanchun¡¯s things. They also shared a bowl of curry potatoes and mutton with Zaher.
Zaher glanced at Manny and noticed that Manny was dipping pancakes in curry sauce. She ate the curry very quickly, so he pushed Lin Yuanchun's bowl of curry potato and mutton to Manny: "You can have one more bowl."
Manny shook her head: "No, I can hardly eat anymore."
Zaher said: "The rice can be packed and taken back. Eat this first. It will take several days before you can eat meat after entering the mountains. By then, you won't be able to eat anything you want."
Manny still shook her head: "Thank you, I really can't eat anymore."
Zaher nodded and then started eating by himself.
After dinner, we returned to the hotel. The three guides asked the four climbers to take out their luggage to see how much they had and what they needed to bring. There was no need to bring any extra.
According to Phuntsog Tashi, starting from Skardu, they had to drive into a village called Askol, and then start hiking into the mountains. It would take a total of eight days to actually reach Khogri Peak. Mountaineering base camp.
After hiking for such a long time, for amateur novices like Chen Mu, it is best that the weight of the backpack does not exceed one-third of the body weight, otherwise it will easily cause damage to the muscles and spine.
Of course, after they go to Askol, they will hire porters to help carry many things into the mountain, but most of them are daily necessities and some important mountaineering equipment, such as ropes, oxygen tanks, etc., every day Hiring one more person means more money
Therefore, the things they carry must be as streamlined as possible.
Chen Mu came here alone and didn¡¯t have many things, so it was no problem at all.
The others were different. They brought a lot of things and were all seriously overweight.
Lin Yuanchun especially brought a lot of personal equipment, such as figure rings, helmets, glasses, etc. He was said to be experienced and must be brought with him.
There was no other way. Phuntsok Tashi could only say that he would ask the porters to help pick these things. Lin Yuanchun was a little reluctant, saying that it was personal equipment and was afraid that the porters would lose it or damage it.
The two tour guides looked at each other and explained the situation to Lin Yuanchun, ensuring that nothing would go wrong, and then they passed.
After sorting through everything and going back to their rooms, Lin Yuanchun complained to Chen Mu: "Why do you feel so unreliable? I'm not allowed to hold my own equipment. Oh, it makes me feel a little unsure." ah."
Chen Mu laughed and pretended that he had not heard anything. He went into the room to sleep without saying anything more.
He felt that the mountaineering team would not be peaceful this time. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
