The journey on the third day was much more difficult.
The starting point at an altitude of 3,800 meters, climbing to 4,800 meters, and then descending to a height similar to the starting point, can help people adapt to the alpine environment; The higher you go, the harder it gets, far less physical and energetic than you did at the beginning, but dealing with an increasingly difficult environment, which requires more willpower.
In the early morning, everyone wears cold-proof clothes, sunscreen is indispensable, the sun is very poisonous here, and the skin has to be sunburned without sunscreen.
Along the way, there were no more tall plants that looked like the islands of adventure, and knee-deep grass became dwarfed, clumped and spaced widely, and even the grass became scarce and replaced by gravel and finer gravel.
The team climbs diagonally, and if it is hard in a straight line, the stepping stones of the people above can become bullets for the people below, and those falling rocks will roll down from under the people's feet, and it is very likely that the people below will be injured.
Yang Mo was a little worried about Zheng Xiujing's state, who knew that she actually smiled and said "in good condition", just like she was about to sing when she was skating or in a good voice, which showed that she had a good grasp of her situation.
In fact, she performed really well, the backpack on her shoulders was not light, it contained the daily necessities she needed to use, she also carried a single-lens reflex around her neck, and she was holding trekking poles with both hands, her expression was not relaxed, but when she looked up from time to time, she would also hook the corners of her mouth.
Her feet were on the ground, the violent impact brought up a cloud of mud and sand, her hands tightly grasped the trekking poles, and she shared some of the strength in her hands, leaning forward slightly, raising her legs, bending her knees, and stepping on the ......
Yang Mo looked back at the bottom of the mountain, the grassland area had been left far behind, the jungle was still cloudy and mist, and from their place it seemed that the clouds on the top of the mountain could be faintly touched, and the sky was a little overcast, which made Yang Mo a little worried about whether it would rain today.
"Huhu, how high have you climbed?"
Zheng Xiujing suddenly turned around and asked.
Yang Mo glanced up at her, looked down at the altimeter, and said, "Four thousand five hundred meters, how do you feel?"
” Zheng Xiujing stood in place, looking sideways at the bottom of the mountain, where the "environment" changed to "scenery", and a sense of pride arose: "I conquered there!"
” "There are still more than a thousand meters, don't be proud."
Yang Mo said with a smile.
"No, I'm going to climb up."
"You'll have to go down before you get to the top of the mountain."
Zheng Xiujing's little face was bitter, obviously it was so troublesome to go up the mountain, this back and forth was really torturous, but it didn't matter, anyway, she would reach the top in the end, she felt now that she was tired from mountaineering, but it was very interesting, well, the air at the top of the mountain was also very fresh, except for the difficulty of breathing.
At an altitude of 4,700 meters, Yang Mo and Zheng Xiujing's breathing is already a little uncomfortable, the oxygen content here is about 64% of the ground, and the guide still says "slowly, slowly", at this altitude, even if you want to be fast, you can't be much faster.
Yang Mo's physical strength is very good, he has been exercising since he was a child, he has hardly stopped, and the exercise effect of the forging style is very good, plus he used to go out to climb the mountain, that is, he really hasn't climbed such a high mountain in recent months, so his body didn't react for a while, but it didn't prevent him from having good physical strength and strong adaptability at all.
The most bitter thing here is Zheng Xiujing, although her physical strength is better than that of most girls, but at this moment her legs are already a little weak, and her breathing is constantly increasing and thickening with the increase in height and the passage of time.
The slope became steeper, a gust of wind blew, the coolness instantly penetrated from the neck to the backbone, the sun was completely hidden in the higher clouds, and the cool air of the snow on the top of the mountain came with the wind, and it was dry and cold here.
Zheng Xiujing shuddered, her right foot slipped, her body fell forward, and when it came into contact with the thick ground, there was a muffled sound.
"Did you get hurt from a fall?"
Yang Mo hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, put the trekking poles aside, and pressed her gently with both hands, asking if there was any pain.
Zheng Xiujing looked down at her body, shook her head and said, "No, there are no sharp stones here." ” Yang Mo breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, do you want to rest for a while?"
” Zheng Xiujing looked up at the mountain: "Forget it, it'll be there in a while, let's rest on it." ” The more you go up, the more difficult it is to walk, the weather is gloomy, and the wind is blowing, the guide gestures to Yang Mo and Zheng Xiujing, which probably means that it may rain, if it rains, the ground will become slippery, which will greatly deepen the difficulty of mountaineering, and will increase the probability of casualties.
The English spoken by the guide was not a problem at all for Yang Mo and Zheng Xiujing Zheng Xiujing frowned and followed step by step, they all climbed here, if they couldn't reach the top, it would be a pity.
"Can't you really climb?"
Zheng Xiujing asked worriedly.
"I can't."
The guide replied.
Yang Mo thought for a while and said with a smile: "Maybe it's cloudy, but it's not necessarily raining." ” It doesn't rain much at this time, so you can probably still climb the mountain.
The rainy weather pressed on everyone's heads like haze, Zheng Xiujing pouted, obviously unhappy, but because she was too tired, she was even a little reluctant to be unhappy.
"Don't worry, we'll get to the top, and we'll go to the top of the mountain to see the snow here."
Yang Mo comforted behind Zheng Xiujing.
She nodded lightly in understanding, and buried herself in keeping up with the guide, whether it rained or not, the mountain would be climbed today.
The distance from the highest height to be climbed today is not too long, about an hour to climb to 4,800 meters, the people who have climbed for most of the day finally have time to rest, and the time to go down the mountain will not be so long, it can be said that most of the time today is spent climbing up, not down.
Taking a little rest, Zheng Xiujing didn't want to wait any longer, not only was the air on the top of the mountain thinner, but the temperature was also lower; Lack of oxygen, exhaustion, and worry, all of which made her want to take a break as soon as possible, why should she come up when she was so tired from climbing the mountain?
The fun of climbing the mountain is also a moment of non-existence, only the final summit can turn the hard work in front into a huge touch, and before the touch, people feel the most is of course the hardship.
The slope is very steep, and it will feel different when viewed from different angles.
When I go up the mountain, I feel very tired, because I keep looking down at the ground, I will feel that the ground is closer to me and more grounded; Standing still and looking down the mountain, the slope under your feet is reminiscent of rolling down, standing still means that there will be no rolling down, although the danger is close to you, but you feel far away, in this situation of being far away from the danger, fear becomes magnificent, which is why the scenery is better seen from a high place.
As for descending the mountain, it means facing the fear head-on, which not only means that the land is more likely to fall, but also perceives from the sight that the land is farther away from you, and if you fall forward, it will also experience a longer time, heavier force, and more danger.
This time, Yang Mo followed behind the guide at the beginning, and another guide followed behind Zheng Xiujing, and the two experienced guides could help the two in time when they were in danger.
Fortunately, the already frightening downhill road did not give everyone more fright, because of the more cautious walking, although the speed was accelerated, but in the case of concentration, there was no big problem, but a porter fell on his head because of a slippery foot, and was broken by a rough stone A little skin, but this injury is equivalent to a rural child playing with broken skin, it doesn't matter if you dip it with saliva, the porter just simply treated the wound and continued on the road.

Zheng Xiujing stopped and wanted to say something, but seeing that everyone didn't react, Yang Mo didn't seem to be surprised, as long as this wound didn't appear on Zheng Xiujing's body, he didn't care, if it happened to him, it was estimated that he would have the same reaction as a porter.
In the camp of more than 3,900 meters down, everyone set up tents to prepare for the night's rest, and the dinner was still done by the cook, Yang Mo did not overstep his bounds, since there was a chef, let him do it, otherwise why hire him.
Zheng Xiujing sat on the chair and didn't bother to move at all, as soon as she was sure that she could rest, she never got up again, just waited for dinner to rest, the oxygen content was too low, she wanted to sleep, but she knew that now was not the time to sleep.
Yang Mo has already confirmed that it is impossible to take a bath here, the weather in the evening is already very cold, at this temperature, it takes courage to take off clothes, and there is no hot bath supply, so you can only wipe it with wet wipes at night.
After dinner, the tiredness of a full stomach hit, the two thoughts of sleeping and bathing were intertwined, constantly competing for the upper hand, and after a while, Zheng Xiujing turned her head and lay on the chair to sleep, and the cold environment made her whole person shrink into her clothes.
Yang Mo sighed, hugged her into the tent, put her in the sleeping bag little by little, and then got out of the tent and sat on the edge of the cliff looking at the scenery, the sun had already set, tonight's starry sky seemed to be because the sun had never come out, they were too lazy to come out, it was dark, there was no light in sight, and the wind was a little strong tonight, which made people panic.
There is no scenery to see outside, and with the night comes the cold, Yang Mo rubbed his arms, got up and returned to the tent, yawned, and got into the sleeping bag little by little, looking sideways, Zheng Xiujing was sleeping soundly, maybe she was really tired today.
The night at the top of the mountain was quiet, and there was no room for it, and even the wind had stopped at some point, and earlier there was a ghost cry from the wind through the cracks in the stones, but now everything was silent, and the sound of hyrax tearing leaves could not be heard.
The clouds in the sky began to dissipate, a bright moon hung in the sky, and the starry sky showed its charm in the second half of the night, which brought many regrets to those who stayed behind in the first half of the night.
But everything is going in a good direction, or at least we can be sure that tomorrow will be a sunny day.
On the first day, a sunny day meant hot, and on the last day, a sunny day meant the possibility of mountain climbing, and there was no good or bad will on a sunny day, just a different time.
