Chapter 57: Life and Death on Mount Everest

Han Yu adapted well in the following training and did not have any other accidents.

Sister Fang also asked Qi An in private, but he turned her back with "I will ensure his safety".

Xiao Shan was amazed by his master's tolerance this time—he changed his mind because of a client's request, which was the first time in Qi'an's commercial climbing experience.

"Ahem, Brother Yu, how did you persuade Master to agree?" Xiao Shan was extremely curious about this.

"Here, I begged Brother Qi for a few words later, but Brother Qi agreed to observe for a while." Regarding Qi An's sudden resignation, Han Yu didn't think of any reason, "Could it be because my request is relatively sincere?"

Xiao Shan has reservations about this speculation: "When someone says something nice, just let it go...Master is not that kind of person either!"

Recently, Han Yu has clearly felt that Qi An is taking more care of him.

Careful inspection of his own equipment, careful explanations when he encounters problems, and constant attention on the way forward—even though Qi An is indeed a very responsible team leader, such care is still a bit beyond Han Yu's expectations.

The time window for reaching the summit of Mount Everest is getting closer and closer.

According to the news from the meteorological agency under the mountain, the good weather may be within a few days.

After a period of training and adaptation, everyone has a certain understanding of the route to the summit. Now, the time to reap the fruits is coming.

The team leader carefully assessed everyone's physical condition, and the commander-in-chief of the base camp tightened his nerves—hundreds of people had to go through this difficult climbing route to the top of the world, and the planning and arrangements required were beyond words Simple.

Compared with the above camps, the conditions of the base camp are almost luxurious.

Han Yu wandered around the camp aimlessly, and was even invited by enthusiastic Sherpas to watch a movie—climber movies are always so exciting.

Compared with the ignorance when he first came here, Hanyu's understanding of mountain climbing has almost grown exponentially in this month.

They undergo a sacred mulberry rite to pray to the holy mountain for forgiveness of human offences.

They have experienced boring and long adaptive training, so that their bodies can withstand more tempering above the snow line.

Some of them were advised to return—their condition was not suitable for this summit, and I am afraid they will have to wait until the next climbing season.

As night fell, everyone's chatterbox gradually opened up.

"Qi team, is it pasta again today?" Sister Fang couldn't help teasing while assisting Qi An.

Compared with alpine foods like black pepper beef rice, pasta is obviously Qi An's favorite food.

Qi An deftly turned the food in the pot, with a bit of joy and relaxation: "An extra meal today!"

There is a small helipad in the base camp, and helicopters go up and down every day to deliver fresh vegetables and fruits.

To be honest, the living conditions here are not much worse than those at the bottom of the mountain, and Han Yu can hardly feel that he is doing a hard mountaineering—this is compared to when he was forced to follow Qi An through the virgin forest full of leeches. , but much better.

Han Yu and Xiao Shan sat on the other side muttering, sounding like they were discussing the luxury tent they saw this afternoon.

"I'm also craving cake..." Han Yu's mouth watered when he thought of the corrupt life of another mountaineering team in the afternoon.

"Here, Brother Yu, you can give Master some advice hahaha!" Xiao Shan was a little moved, and urged Han Yu to speak to Qi An, "Master listens to you very much recently."

"Come on, you don't dare to say it yourself, let me say it..." Han Yu glanced at him angrily, "I won't just be your gunman like this."

Sister Fang happened to hear what they were talking about, and interjected, "Xiaoyu, why are you still the same as when you were a child, and you like eating sweets so much?"

Han Yu smiled embarrassingly: "It's just that I saw other teams eating cakes to celebrate their birthdays today, and I suddenly feel a little craving for them."

"Your birthday?" Qi An frowned slightly, without much expression on his face.

Unexpectedly, Qi An also joined the discussion on this topic, and Han Yu had to explain: "No, my birthday is not the latest."

He just wants to eat sweets...

After Han Yu's mother gave birth to a son, she always wanted a daughter, and finally gave birth to Han Yu. Don't mention the disappointment at that time.

When Han Yu was born as a child, Yuxue was cute, her skin was very delicate, and she liked to eat all kinds of small desserts. This made Han's mother sigh countless times-if only she was a daughter!

Sister Fang knew all kinds of embarrassing things about Han Yu when she was a child, so she couldn't help opening her mobile phone photo album at this moment.

"Here, look." Turning to a photo of Han Yu being coaxed by his mother to wear a dress, Sister Fang couldn't help sighing, "Xiao Yu was so cute when she was young!"

In the photo, Han Yu turned around angrily, and Sister Fang's eldest son stood behind him helplessly, with a broken expression—children are indeed the most incomprehensible creatures in the world...

Sister Fang's husband has a close relationship with Han's family, and Sister Fang is close to Han's mother, so the children of the two families often play together. She knows Han Yu's dark history very well. .

Han Yu was exposed to this kind of photo with a dazed expression, and hurriedly reached out to block Sister Fang's mobile phone screen, while Xiao Shan, who was approaching him, was already bursting out of laughter.

On the other side, Qi An, who seemed very indifferent, only turned his head and glanced lightly, as if he lacked interest.

But when he turned his back, the tips of his ears began to turn red quietly——Guo, it's really cute!

----

In the afternoon of the next day, accurate weather information came: from May 5th to 15th, the wind weakened, most of the time was sunny, and there would be a short window of weather suitable for the summit.

This exciting news made the entire headquarters erupt.

Each team is nervously arranging the itinerary and confirming the equipment. It will take half a year or even longer to prepare, and success or failure depends on it.

And that night, Han Yu and the others ate the cake brought by Qi An!

"We are about to set off for the summit, and I wish everything goes well." Although Qi An's heart was beating like a drum, he still tried his best to relax his facial muscles, and pulled out a smile that could barely be called "relaxed".

The reason he gave also seemed quite reasonable.

Of course, if his ears weren't so red at the moment, this sentence might be more convincing!

"My God! Brother Yu, my master is really responsive to you!" Xiao Shan was surprised when he saw the big cake, and he didn't forget to wink at Han Yu, "I also went to Mount Everest with my master last year, and I didn't eat it at that meeting." What kind of celebration cake have you been to..."

Han Yu wished he could stuff the cake into his mouth on the spot: "You can't stop your mouth if you have something to eat!"

Qi An, who was forcibly calm, had already started to cut the cake silently, but when he handed the divided piece of cake to Han Yu, he couldn't help but tremble a bit due to the short-term skin-to-skin contact and the instant it was cut apart.

A strange atmosphere began to flow in the tent—the temperature seemed to rise, and Han Yu's face gradually began to heat up.

"This, this cake is delicious," Han Yu randomly found a topic, trying to shake off the little enthusiasm on his face, "Thank you, Brother Qi."

Qi An didn't talk to him any more, but the corner of his mouth quietly curved, still betrayed his happy mood at this moment.

----

The departure time is scheduled for the early morning of the 12th.

The night is heavy, but the starry sky on the snow mountain is clear and transparent, and the starlight in the sky is gently sprinkled on the huge snow peak that has been frozen for a long time, revealing a kind of remote tranquility that has come from ancient times.

Many of the tents in the camp were now lit.

Everyone washed in silence, put on their equipment, and gathered together at the assembly time announced by Qi An.

The headlights illuminate the route ahead, and the snow under the night has a slight reflection.

It was about to approach the final destination, which made Han Yu feel a little excited.

Soon, they arrived at the first pass of the trip - the Khumbu Glacier that they had trained before.

This area is full of various ice crevasses, and the environment is changing rapidly. Even if the glacier doctor has surveyed a suitable route in advance and laid ropes and ladders, every adventurer is still cautious when passing this section of the road.

The temperature at night is lower, and the Khumbu Glacier will be more stable, which is one of the reasons why more people choose to start from the base camp in the early morning.

Climbing cautiously on the metal ladder erected by the Sherpas, facing the countless ice crevasses and abysses below again, Han Yu's mentality was very stable this time.

The last time Han Yu had an accident in this part, just to be on the safe side, Qi An walked in front of him at this time.

Qi An, who was wearing a mountaineering suit, didn't look as thin and slender as usual, but he was walking forward resolutely, and his back was inexplicably calming.

Han Yu knew very well in his heart that this capable team leader constituted his greatest sense of security during this climbing process.

When everyone successfully passed this section of the road and arrived at Camp No. [-], the sky was completely bright.

Qi An did not arrange more rest time for them: "We will arrive at C2 before this evening, and we will rest at C2 tonight."

There is no risk in this section of the road, except for the altitude increase, everything is very calm.

But when they were about to set up camp at night, the news came that was not optimistic.

With the satellite phone in his hand, Qi An could hardly suppress the anxiety in his voice: "What did you say? The wind might strengthen tomorrow?"

The author has something to say: Qi, expressionless face, trembling heart, God: My God!He, how could he be so cute when he was a child!
