Chapter 602 How long the heart is
What surprised Mao Dongming even more was that these seven people were not recommended by a few friends as the boss introduced, and they were from different places. In fact, according to his observation, these people knew each other and looked very familiar with each other.
This may have been a coincidence. An acquaintance had met with each other, but the probability was too small and there was something strange. Before entering the scenic area, these people seemed to be able to hold on, pretending to be strange and alienated intentionally or unintentionally.
But since the drift began, they seemed to have stopped avoiding anything. They talked and laughed. The sister among the sisters was flirting with an ugly-looking black man in front of everyone, which surprised Mao Dongming and his heart began to feel disgusted.
But the other party simply used Mao Dongming as air. Sometimes several guys communicated in a dialect that he couldn't understand at all. They spoke quickly and urgently. One of them looked very fierce, and it looked like a knife was coming over. Mao Dongming looked at him accidentally once, and felt that the back of his spine was airing. He had never felt that it had never felt like it had been.
Mao Dongming is an authentic city man, not too brave, and has been staying in big cities in a steady manner from birth, school to work, and has seen many quarrels and fights, but he has not practiced it himself. He has also practiced rock climbing in a sports team. He has been a year or two and thought he has seen several ruthless people with a hot temper, but compared with the one in front of him, it is like the difference between a cat and a tiger.
These people are absolutely extraordinary. Mao Dongming, who came to his senses, decided to be careful and not provoke them easily. He took the team and got to do it.
So Mao Dongming became the silent guy in the expedition team. The so-called team leader was not in line with the name. He designated a camp, and when to set off the next day, etc., all of the fierce guy made the decision. At the beginning, he was very stiff to ask for the team leader Mao's opinions, but later he didn't even ask him.
Mao Dongming remembered that the pair of sisters named Yao, and the fierce guy named Li, and the others were not in line with each other. He was ashamed of saying that he could not remember the names of people since he was a child, and he could not remember too little contact with these guys. Anyway, he didn't care about anyone, and he soon gave up on the sisters, just do it like that.
There was nothing to say along the way, the expedition team came to the reserved camp and started building a temporary camp together. Mao Dongming was stunned. These groups were too professional, not only very fast but also very skillful in cooperation. With a cigarette, four tents rose up from the ground. They were not only solid and beautiful, but also uniform, with diamond-shaped space occupied, which was very particular. This was not an adventure camp, it was simply a marching and fighting.
What was even more shocked was that Mao Dongming didn’t know where his small tent should be placed?
"You're okay." The fierce guy sent Mao Dongming away with just one sentence, making him seem to be following someone's butt to get a place.
There was no way, Mao Dongming finally put his temporary nest at the tail of the diamond, which was the place below the hillside.
There was nothing to do with dinner. Everyone brought high-calorie instant vegetarian food. The group of people formed a small circle and ate and chatted. No one came to invite Mao Dongming. He was also very uncomfortable and simply hid in the tent and settled the supper himself.
Unexpectedly, not long after the meal, the fierce guy came to him. He suddenly became much more polite in his words and took the initiative to give Mao Dongming a cigarette, which made him flattered and confused.
After sitting down and chatting, I realized that the other party was mainly asking about Xi Laofeng and the surrounding situation. Before leaving, Mao Dongming gave a brief introduction to these matters, but the questions asked this time were quite detailed and professional, including the safety points set up at the scenic spot at the foot of the mountain, the specific location of the rescue station, whether there are paths in the mountains that can be directly around the back mountain, etc.
Mao Dongming had climbed Xi Laofeng several times, and two of them successfully reached the top. Naturally, these problems were no problem, but the last question aroused his vigilance. Aren’t you here to climb the mountain? Why do you still have to find a small road to surround the back mountain? I wonder where the martial law is blocked?
The man surnamed Li suddenly became very talkative and told Mao Dongming a story, saying that he was also entrusted by others. He had a friend in distress. He was from eastern Guangdong. When he was a teenager, he followed his family overseas and never had the chance to come back. Now he is seriously ill. At the last moment, he really wanted to see the mountains and rivers of his hometown. When he was a child, he hoped to climb Xi Lao Peak, but this wish was difficult to achieve. Therefore, the man surnamed Li returned to China and went to eastern Guangdong specifically to reach the top of the mountain. He took more photos along the way, and also recorded the legend of the famous Xi Lao Cave in the photography lens. Time was very rushed, otherwise he would not have been so rushed.
Afraid that Mao Dongming would not believe it, the man turned on his phone, flipped through his finger for a long time, pointed to a single color photo and told Mao Dongming that the middle-aged man in the photo was his brother and was lying in the hospital now.
There is another story? Mao Dongming is skeptical, but he seems to be unable to find any fault. Boss Cui is in contact with businessmen with a background. There are too many foreign business owners, and maybe this is really the case. It is quite touching to think about it. People are floating outside and thinking about their hometowns. This is the normal thing.
People who are in society must be scrupulous and have a lot of scrupulousness. As long as they don’t have bad intentions, the more scrupulous the better. Mao Dongming is scrupulous, but hesitated so much, and hesitated for a moment, but hesitated for a moment and said everything. He could help others with a few words. There was no need to be so stingy. At this time, Mao Dongming’s unhappiness along the way was thrown out of the sky, which ruined his last glimmer of vitality.
There are basically no people in the safety points and rescue stations. At most, there is a mountain patrol staff, and most of them are not on duty. After Xi Laofeng was closed, staff from the Hydrological Survey and Disease Control Center temporarily entered the water control center, saying that they were detecting the hydrological environment and water pollution problems of Xi Laofeng Mountain Creek.
This is just a public statement. These staff members are actually all active armed police soldiers and the Guoan Special Service. They are not many, but they are very capable, and they carry weapons up the mountain. This shows how tight the blockade of this virus source is.
But Mao Dongming didn't know, so he told the man surnamed Li that there was a duty officer before, but now he didn't know what the situation is. As for the rescue station, it seemed to have been temporarily changed to a hydrological monitoring station. There were about five or six people. He had not come for a while, and he all heard from the staff of the scenic spot.
There is indeed an abandoned path halfway up the mountain, saying that you can go around the back mountain, and there is indeed a Xi Lao Cave along the way, which has never been opened to the public, but it is mentioned in the local chronicles, and Mao Dongming also knows it. It was the first time he climbed Xi Lao Peak. An old guide hired by the club told everyone that it is said to be particularly dangerous. Not to mention ordinary people, even professionally trained mountaineering athletes dare not try it easily, but he is even less clear about where the specific location is and whether he can pass it or not, and he has never tried it.
The man surnamed Li thanked him very much and said he had a short rest. He invited Mao Dongming to lead everyone to adaptive training and familiarize himself with the surrounding environment. When he arrived, he even put down a stack of rewards, which was a good deal.
Mao Dongming was particularly surprised. He led the team many times and was always a little disgusted with the first time he received a tip. However, he was a foreigner. Anyway, when he registered, his passport was from a certain country in Southeast Asia, and he was considered a foreign Chinese. He was used to this, so he refused again and accepted it.
As the sun sets, the quiet green grass is like green grass by the pond, and the golden afterglow renders the beautiful mountains and rivers like a painting. Looking up by the stream, Xi Lao Peak, Qixing Peak and Zhu Xiufeng three kilometers away are like three giant gilded swords to the sky, which makes people excited.
The explorer's camp was just a small stone under the dangerous peak at this time, which was very inconspicuous, but it seemed particularly awkward and weird in the sunset.
After leaving a strong man on duty at the camp, Mao Dongming set off with the other six people, and the target was naturally Xi Laofeng, rather than the registered Qixing Peak.
As the saying goes, if someone takes a short hand and eats someone's mouth, Mao Dongming is more like a guide than a leader at this time. He does his best to introduce the natural environment around Xi Laofeng, pointing to the steep mountains in the distance and talking, where it seems to be gentle, but in fact it is dangerous, where it looks like a raised rock, there are other strange paths, where you can use bare hands and where you must use utensils.
This is just the situation at the foot of the mountain. The majestic and complex geological environment are not as simple as seen outside the mountain.
The man surnamed Li also looked humble and asked questions, and sighed in his heart. The five people behind him were all taciturn. The Yao sisters also changed their previous chatter. The pretty faces were cold, and they were actually secretly recording the key points and geographical locations mentioned by Mao Dongming.
"Stop for a moment." Mao Dongming, who was at the front of the team, suddenly signaled the team to pause, and pointed to a raised giant rock road far in the right front. "Behind that rock is the rescue station, which is also the only way to enter the foot of the mountain. When the site was selected, it was to facilitate the transfer. If the mountaineering team encountered danger, this is the only one and the closest rescue station."
"Oh, if you don't say it, you really don't realize it. The location is very safe and hidden." The man surnamed Li kept nodding, but was really shocked. Fortunately, there was such a guide, otherwise he might have bumped into him with no brains.
"There is another safety station three hundred meters southeast of the rescue station. Do you want to go over and take a look? It's better to say hello to others?" Mao Dongming solicited opinions. At this time, he was afraid of trouble. He had no idea whether the people from the hydrological station and epidemic prevention station could talk, but there should be no big problem. Moreover, you will have to pass by the mountain climb tomorrow. It's annoying once and twice, so it's better to say it in advance.
"I won't go, I won't go. The environment is almost familiar. Everyone has worked hard all the way. We will prepare some small gifts tomorrow morning. Then everyone will talk about it together, which may be more convenient."
