Chapter 0743 – Snow Mountain (III)
Zhu Wei had never felt that this sour and bitter barley wine was actually so delicious at this moment.
Zhuang Rui’s bag of barley wine that was fully loaded with two pounds was drunk by this guy in a bull drink, and only a small half of it was left.
“Hey, I said, give them some ……”
Zhuang Rui snatched the wine bag and handed it to the other two, the two fellows dryly looked at Zhu Wei is licking his lips it, a miserable look.
Originally looked a little Beckham style British guy, this pale, purple lips, the whole of the oldest British aristocrat (vampire) look, let him act in Hollywood blockbuster vampire, guaranteed no need to make up again.
Seeing Zhu Wei sobered up, Zhuang Rui asked: “Tell me! What’s going on in the end? What man-eating leopard.”
After hearing Zhuang Rui’s words, Zhu Wei’s eyes flashed a hint of palpitations and said, “A big leopard, pounced out of the snow, and pounced on Zhao Jun in one go, if it wasn’t for David’s quick reaction, I’m afraid that Zhao Jun’s neck would have been bitten off.”
“Oh no, it wasn’t me, it was it, Lord! It’s the one that drove that white animal away.”
The English foreigner at the side, David, hurriedly explained when he heard Zhu Wei mention him, and pointed his finger at the white lion.
Probably because he was too excited, David couldn’t fully express his meaning in Chinese, and spoke with English mixed in, making Zhuang Rui’s head spin when he heard him.
“For one to say, the white lion has always been with me, it can’t be that it drove him away.”
Zhuang Rui hurriedly stopped the two, the white lion hadn’t been out of his sight this entire journey, it simply couldn’t be the savior that David was talking about.
“That was a lion, not a leopard.”
At this time Wei Zheng also recovered and participated in the narration, the more the three people were talking the more chaotic, almost said three versions, some said it was a leopard, some said it was a lion, after more than ten minutes, Zhuang Rui was able to figure out the cause of the matter.
It turns out that after these people began to climb, the road has been very flat, Zhu Wei as the captain of this mountaineering team, also has some experience, insisted on climbing to the current height, see next to a small lake, and the terrain is flat, so decided to camp here.
Just when they are holding a small shovel to throw away the ice, ready to press the tent, from the snow suddenly sprang out a body length of about one meter five, the whole body gray-white covered with black spots of the leopard, to Zhao Jun pounced on the past.
Sharp leopard claws in the grasp of Zhao Jun, tore open his legs on the mountaineering clothing, panic Zhao Jun, simply unable to resist the leopard’s attack, see is about to be pounced on by the leopard biting the throat, a low roar into the ears of the crowd.
With that low roar that shook the eardrums, the white lion swooped down from the high mountains (uh, the only unity of opinion among the three is that the animal that swooped down is the white lion, Zhuang Rui did not refute it, and the irrationally confused, did not send it to be more serious).
Later is the hero white lion, righteousness to save injured students and foreign friends of the story, and finally the white lion bravely to the leopard or lion to drive away.
Zhu Wei and the others, on the other hand, were stunned by Zhao Jun’s bleeding thighs, and the rescue that they usually learned during the mountaineering team’s activities had long been forgotten in the Himalayas.
“Cough, buddy, do you still know the art of splitting?”
Zhuang Rui smiled and touched the big head of the white lion, suddenly his heart moved, the village Tibetans did not say that they had seen the snow mastiff in the mountains? Could it be ……
And the white lion seems to smell something, at the moment looks a little restless, eyes looking in the direction of the mountain top, throat constantly issued a low roar.
Animals are very sensitive to their own kind or creatures that are a threat to them, the white lion has such actions, it must be related to those two fighting beasts.
“Don’t be anxious, as long as it’s on the mountain, we’ll be able to find it.”
Zhuang Rui pacified the white lion, he wouldn’t dare to let the white lion go up the mountain alone, to know, although the white lion is brave, but the fierce beasts on this great snowy mountain are not vegetarians, even if the fight is a lose-lose, Zhuang Rui wouldn’t be willing to do so.
“Brother Gyatso, how is Zhao Jun’s injury?”
Holding the anxious white lion’s neck, Zhuang Rui squatted down.
“Fortunately, no bones were hurt, right, why don’t you boys give him medicine?”
Gyatso has already made a simple treatment for Zhao Jun’s wound, after cleaning the wound with Yunnan Baiyao spray, he took out gauze and wrapped it tightly.
“I …… lost our backpacks and was about to go look for them when you guys came over.”
I don’t know if I feel embarrassed, or the wine is too much to drink, Captain Zhu Wei’s face is reddish, in fact, several of them were scared silly at that time, did not immediately run down the mountain, it has already been considered to take care of the friendship of fellow students.
This will be the sky has been completely dark, bright moonlight shining on the snow, around a few dozen meters can be seen very clearly, Zhuang Rui looked around, in this snow, scattered everywhere a few people discarded mountaineering equipment.
“Zhu Wei, first retrieve your stuff and make something to eat.” Zhuang Rui saw that several people, Zhu Wei, had recovered and began to command.
Within these few people, the one called Wei Zheng was the least courageous, and when Zhu Wei and David had already acted, he shrunk his neck, looked at the dark night in the distance, and stammered, “Zhuang …… Brother Zhuang, if that leopard is again . . come again, what to do?”
“Fuck me, with this kind of guts, you’re still playing adventure mountaineering?”
Zhuang Rui cursed in his heart and said, “It’s okay, with the white lion, there’s no need to be afraid even if a tiger comes.”
Wei Zheng looked at the white lion’s huge size, finally nodded and started to go pack up the things that he had just thrown away.
“Xiao Zhuang, you can’t stay on the mountain, how about at night because of the inflammation caused by the wound, that’s fatal.”
Even with the shock, Zhao Jun this will have already fallen asleep, but Gyatso’s face was filled with a heavy look, his mountaineering experience is far from Zhu Wei a few hairy boys can be compared to, to be injured on the plateau, that is the same as not having half a life.
“Then what to do? Brother Gyatso, going down the mountain at night can be very dangerous.”
Zhuang Rui froze for a moment, when going up the mountain, there were a few steep slopes, it was only with the help of a mountaineering pickaxe that he was able to climb up.
Although this is the snow, but the thin layer of blood below, can be all the ancient immutable ice, this night if you are not careful, you may fall a broken head.
Zhuang Rui originally intended to stay on the mountain for one night, and then let a few people go down the mountain the next day, of course, he himself will not go, because the purpose of this trip, has not been achieved yet!
“Eat something first and rest, human lives are at stake, it’s hard to walk but we have to go down the mountain.”
Gyatso glanced at Zhao Jun who was breathing tightly even in his sleep, and made up his mind, because there were too many uncertainties on the mountain, in case this kid triggered an inflammation due to an infection in his wound, then I’m afraid that he would get killed in a few hours.
“Alright! I’ll go help them boil water.”
Zhuang Rui nodded and walked over to Zhu Wei and the others.
They were using a special alcohol stove, the not-so-large steel essence pot could be hung on top of the stove, and this would be the time when a few people remembered the wilderness survival knowledge they had once learned, and knew to use snow water to boil water.
The melting point of the fire on the high mountains is very low, and the temperature is not enough, a pot of water boiled for more than half an hour, but also did not boil, Zhuang Rui will be frozen hard air-dried meat put in, and then after nearly an hour, in a few people starving hungry, only then it is considered to be the meat to soften a little.
“Brother Zhuang …… Zhuang, thank you for saving me ……”
This would be the injured Zhao Jun also woke up, but his face no longer had the same vigor as when he first met Zhuang Rui.
Zhao Jun knows, if not Zhuang Rui and Gyatso arrived in time, just by Zhu Wei and a few other classmates that half-assed rescue knowledge, maybe his own life, will be buried in this beautiful plateau on the snowy mountains.
“Don’t need to say so much, rest well, after eating later, Brother Gyatso will send you down the mountain.”
Zhuang Rui waved his hand, and very laboriously swallowed that piece of half-cooked, half-cooked wind-dried meat, and then used half-warm, not boiling water, mixed with barley flour and kneaded it into a ball, and then handed it to Zhao Jun, who was lying on the tent.
“This …… this ……”
Looking at the black and unattractive dough, Zhao Jun’s face revealed a strange look. Within these few people, he was the one with the best family situation, and he had spent over 100,000 dollars on equipment for this hike, so where would he have normally eaten this kind of food?
“If you don’t want to die, eat it, only after eating will you have the strength to go down the mountain ……”
Zhuang Rui stuffed the food into Zhao Jun’s hand and turned to fish meat for the white lion, although the white lion has good teeth, but the beef and mutton carried at this altitude are all hard like stone, they must be cooked and softened a bit before they can be eaten.
After Zhuang Rui fed the white lion and hurriedly ate something himself, he pulled Gyatso to the side and said, “Big brother Gyatso, you take them down the mountain! I’m going to take the white lion to find another Tibetan mastiff.”
“What? You’re alone on the mountain?”
Gyatso froze for a moment after hearing Zhuang Rui’s words, followed by waving his hand repeatedly, saying, “No, this is absolutely not okay, it’s too dangerous, do you know that Zhao Jun’s thigh was scratched by a snow leopard, it’s not safe on this mountain.”
“Snow Leopard? There will be snow leopards here?”
Zhuang Rui knows this kind of animal, its rarity, and pandas are comparable, in places with human traces, it is almost extinct, I didn’t expect that it would appear in this mountain which is not very famous.
“It must be a snow leopard, I estimate that it ran over from the Meili Snow Mountain side, this mountain usually has less people climbing it, so there will be relatively more animals.”
After hearing Gyatso’s explanation, Zhuang Rui somewhat understood, the space for these animals to survive was compressed by humans step by step, they can only go to more remote and faraway places to hide, this snow leopard should be so.
“Brother Gyatso, there are white lions here, there is no need to be afraid of any animal.” Gyatso said this, but instead, it strengthened Zhuang Rui’s idea to stay.
If he went down the mountain and came back up, delaying a day’s work, who knows if that other Tibetan mastiff would leave this snowy mountain because it was disturbed?
