.
The heavy snow that was originally predicted for the day after tomorrow was delayed by two full days.
I thought it wasn't going to rain anymore.
Wang Tianxiao and Cui Wanshan discussed that if it still didn't work, even knowing the danger and the greater difficulty, they would still have to give it a try.
Wang Tianxiao visited Wu Qiancai at the city hospital again, but he was still the same as before, with no signs of improvement.
This made Wang Tianxiao even more anxious.
The matter of going to Xiongxiazi Ridge became much more urgent.
This time, we'll form a four-person team.
Wang Tianxiao and Cui Wanshan, needless to say, and Wang Tianxin certainly couldn't miss such a good opportunity, so he had to follow along.
The remaining spot was given to Liu Yuan.
This old man hadn't gone into the mountains to hunt bears in a long time, and his hands were itching to get rid of them.
It is said that when he was young, he fought bears many times.
He also recounted many stories of hunting bears, and Cui Wanshan believed that most of what he said was true and not just boasting.
Since that's the case, then let's take it with us.
However, Wang Tianxiao was still a little worried about the old man's physical strength.
After all, this trip requires crossing two mountains to reach our destination.
It was a smoky, mountainous day, and quite dangerous; it required considerable physical strength to endure.
Upon hearing this, Liu Yuan gave Wang Tianxiao a contemptuous look.
"You think I'm not up to par, huh? I'm not bragging, but even though I'm old, you're still a young man. When it comes to climbing mountains, you might not be my match. Back in the day..."
Okay, it's time to recount his heroic deeds from his youth.
Wang Tianxiao and Cui Wanshan shook their heads and smiled wryly, but Wang Tianxin listened with great interest, making him Liu Yuan's best listener.
Liu Yuan had this little fan, so naturally he spoke with great enthusiasm.
As they talked, they drifted off into who-knows-where.
However, in the end, Wang Tianxiao still said to bring it along.
Liu Yuan worked quietly at the station. He wouldn't accept money or treats, and he was only so-so about them.
All you need is a little bit of rough Qingcheng Baijiu.
He only has this one simple request now; if we don't agree, wouldn't that be too unreasonable?
However, the three rules that must be mentioned must be addressed.
When you go out, don't act tough, follow the rules, and don't take advantage of your age.
In short, you must maintain a humble and cautious attitude.
In order to leave smoothly, Liu Yuan naturally accepted everything.
Once the decision to travel has been made, all that's left is to prepare equipment and stockpile supplies.
It only needs to include some stoves, charcoal, dry food, water, spirits, sandbags, medicine, tents, bedding, etc.
Basically, everything we can think of, we prepare very thoroughly.
The last time we hunted wolves on the West Peak of Yangziling, it wasn't this cold yet; it was a sunny day. But it was still freezing cold at night, which is why Wu Qiancai's arm got frostbite.
This time, we can't risk inflicting new injuries just because we need to save someone.
With everything prepared, the three of them set off on their arduous hunting journey under the cover of heavy snow.
Although Li Yali felt sorry for her husband, she could only hide her worries and keep them to herself. She was always reasonable in important matters and basically would not interfere with her husband's normal activities.
But I'm still very worried.
She had lived in the mountains and knew that traveling in snowy weather was inherently risky, especially when venturing into areas where wild animals might roam.
All I can do is silently pray for those few.
The Dongshan Mountain on a sunny day and the Dashan Mountain after a snowfall are two completely different worlds.
Heavy snow can completely obscure a person's view in front of them. Because of the falling snow, people will subconsciously close their eyes to avoid it and also hunch their necks, so they need to expend more energy to cope with it.
Moreover, many roads in the mountains were originally full of potholes, and when they weren't covered by snow, people could see them clearly and easily avoid them.
But now the snow is falling on the pit, so you can't see anything.
People often assume that stepping into flat ground creates a pit, but instead they end up falling and stumbling.
In other words, the slope of this road isn't very steep, otherwise, if you're not careful, you might fall off the cliff.
As per Cui Wanshan's instructions, the four people tied their bodies together with a rope, not too tightly, so that it wouldn't affect each other's walking. But if anyone accidentally stepped into a hole and had a problem, the other three could quickly pull them back.
It's like an extra insurance policy.
When he first set off, Wang Tianxin was very interested in the trip. He thought it would be exciting and cool to go into the mountains in heavy snow, so he always wanted to talk to some of the more experienced people.
Wang Tianxiao ruthlessly stopped him.
Tell him that in this environment, people should not talk too much, and even when walking, they should not stagger. They should try to maintain the same frequency and can follow behind the other three people to reduce physical exertion.
If the body needs to allocate more energy to resist the cold, it will inevitably have to expend physical strength.
If you don't know how to exercise in moderation, you'll probably be unable to walk for a long time.
Wang Tianxin then fell silent.
The four of them were like four ascetic monks on a pilgrimage, silently moving forward.
After walking for more than an hour, they arrived at the dividing line between the east and west peaks of Yangziling. The group rested for about ten minutes, put their belongings on the ground, and took the opportunity to stretch their muscles and joints.
"Old Wang, how far is it from here to Bear Ridge?"
Wang Tianxiao thought for a moment and said, "It's really hard to say exactly. When I was young... oh, it was when we walked along the mountain road to Ziwu Ridge. It took us a little over a day to walk all the way to Ziwu Ridge."
However, there are six peaks in Liwu Ridge. I roughly estimate that it will take another half a day to walk from where we are now to the closest point of Xiongxiazi Ridge.
