While traveling south, I met some people along the way.
After three transactions, I received some jade in return.
Compared with stones, jade is more beautiful after all.
In the case of needing stone, there are choices,
Even the survivors would choose the prettier one.
These jades are packed in different containers.
It was delivered, the jade was left behind, and the container was taken back.
Containers are precious.
There are also more humble ones, which are not even fully clothed and are brought by hand.
Yu Xifeng made the exchange with food.
Mainly potatoes or sweet potatoes, occasionally with one or two pieces of clothing.
Here, the notch in the fabric is huge.
Unlike the northern base and the tribe,
The survivors there wore clothes made mostly of hemp woven from leaves of a mutant species.
More expensive items include fur.
But here, because of living near quicksand,
What is needed is a relatively light and tougher cloth.
One of them, after completing the transaction, coveted the potatoes given by Yu Xifeng.
The closing of the deal is still far behind.
Yu Xifeng was too lazy to talk nonsense, so he killed the man and picked up his potatoes.
I have picked up quite a few of them nearby these days.
Adding up these few days, I barely increased the duration by about 0.1 hour.
It's just less than six minutes longer in the day.
The increase is not high, but it is increasing nonetheless.
Not bad.
As we went further, we no longer encountered any small groups or individuals with whom we could do business.
There was a transaction partner in front of me, a young woman with a square face and thick eyebrows.
The woman told Yu Xifeng that across the plateau, there was a rumor of a large gathering place.
But this plateau is difficult to cross.
Because there is no food on this mountain, and there are many species of destruction in it.
No one has ever walked out alive from the upper reaches of quicksand.
The deepest road has an altitude of more than 4km. Surrounded by the destruction species,
It has become a forbidden zone for life.
Those who want to go to the gathering place will choose to spend more time and bypass the plateau.
Yu Xifeng wanted to find the upper reaches of the Yucai River, so naturally he would not go around it.
This journey was exactly as the woman said.
The terrain gradually became higher and higher.
Quicksand falls from above like a waterfall.
The higher you go, the quicksand gradually concentrates on the riverbed and becomes less dispersed.
Outside the riverbed, the road became much easier to walk on.
But steep slopes consume more energy than flat roads.
I picked up a lot of bits and pieces along the way, along the shore of the quicksand.
Few people come here, so more jade is left behind.
Yu Xifeng seemed to have returned to the time when he was a scavenger in his previous life.
With my face towards the earth and my back towards the sky,
It won't be long before your back and waist aches from picking up one stone after another from the ruins.
I bend down countless times with hope, but my hopes are often dashed.
Not as good as the last jade mine.
That place was originally a mining company.
Yu Xifeng directly found the abandoned warehouse,
All the screened stock in the warehouse was sold out.
Now, one by one, within a day, both of them can't help but feel sore in the waist and back.
It was the monkey who made the great contribution.
As long as it was not in quicksand, it could dig out stones much faster than the two of them.
Move quickly and come and go like the wind.
The amount of jade brought back by one monkey was more than that brought back by the two of them combined.
Even back in the space, Yu Xifeng and Zhang Qiu lay down,
Monkeys also feed chickens, ducks and rabbits.
The slight pain in his conscience could not overcome his exhaustion, and Yu Xifeng soon fell into a deep sleep.
Repeat in the following days.
Yu Xifeng felt that he was getting darker at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Her hands were placed side by side with Zhang Qiu's. Zhang Qiu's hand was a little whiter than hers.
Zhang Qiu touched her hand and said, "I see you have some sunscreen, put some on?"
Yu Xifeng put on a sun-protective jacket.
The sunlight was overhead, so white that it was blinding.
Beyond the barrenness, the plateau appears even more vast.
The altitude is much higher than that of Jiangshan.
As he walked, Yu Xifeng's breathing became much faster.
Yu Xifeng felt fine and thought he could go a little further.
Zhang Qiu stopped Yu Xifeng.
Zhang Qiu took two deep breaths and said, "Look in the mirror."
Yu Xifeng didn't understand what was going on, so he took out a mirror and looked at himself, and was shocked by what he saw in the mirror.
Her face was like a fermented steamed bun, puffed up a lot.
Her cheeks were even redder.
Yu Xifeng sighed.
Zhang Qiu rubbed his hands, clenched his fists and opened them again, and stomped his legs from time to time.
"What's wrong with you?" Yu Xifeng asked.
Zhang Qiu turned his head and looked behind him. It had been a long time since the last time they saw a living person.
Zhang Qiu said: "It should be altitude sickness, but it is much milder than the last time I climbed a mountain. I am fine."
It was Zhang Qiu’s first time climbing a mountain, and in the end he was carried down by someone.
Zhang Qiu rubbed his chest and said, "If we go any higher, we'll probably have to consider oxygen."
Yuxifeng does have portable oxygen delivery equipment.
You can gradually adapt to altitude sickness, and the two of them have plenty of time.
You can slowly adapt to the plateau.
Yu Xifeng made a decision: "Let's stop here today."
Yu Xifeng and Zhang Qiu returned to the space.
As I walked, I climbed up step by step, and nothing felt wrong.
It's like boiling a frog in warm water, the feeling is not strong.
As soon as I entered the space, I felt my whole body lighten and I felt relieved.
