Lin Yuqi is right. Ever since we entered Tibet, the ultraviolet rays have been extremely strong. Although several girls applied oil and wore sun-protective clothing and hats, they were still affected and their skin became a little darker.
As for us men, we basically didn’t take any measures, and it looked like we were several levels darker. We also asked Rob Dondup if our dark skin would be able to recover if we returned to lower altitudes. He said that we usually tan in Tibetan areas. In the last month or two, this can still be recovered. If it takes longer, it will be a bit troublesome. We obviously don't need to worry too much.
After a brief rest, we continued walking down the mountain. When we came to the river, we found a big stone and camped behind the stone to rest.
Because we were not in a hurry, we had enough time to rest and cook. During this period, Zheng Haoyang's chefs had the opportunity to perform.
However, Zheng Haoyang only makes delicious food for the short-haired girl and Lin Yuqi. If the rest of us want to take advantage of it, we have to say good things to him. Of course, there is one person who Zheng Haoyang will not give to her even if he says good things, and that is Sister Yuan .
There was only one reason why he didn't feed Sister Yuan, and that was to please girls with short hair.
Of course, Sister Yuan is also very brave. She said that she would not eat anything given to her for free. Either we would make some simple meals ourselves, or she would eat some cooked food such as beef jerky. Xiaoye, like her, would only eat what she brought.
"Are there any fish in the water?" Halfway through the meal, Pigtail walked to the river and looked inside.
Rob Dundup said: "This place is too close to the glacier. It is freshly melted glacier water or snow water. The water quality is relatively pure, so there are no fish in it, but there are many fish downstream."
The pigtail scratched his head and said with a smile: "I'm also thinking about catching a fish and grilling it."
As soon as he said these words, our expressions changed instantly. I coughed quickly and winked at him. Before Little Braid could realize what was going on, Zhao Hu quietly pointed at the back of Rob Dunzhu. Braid suddenly realized.
He immediately coughed and said to Rob Dundup: "Uncle, I'm sorry. I take back what I just said. I forgot about it just now."
Norbu Dunzhu smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay. You are not Tibetans. Sometimes you forget customs and so on. It doesn't matter. We just don't eat fish anyway."
Everyone laughed, and the incident was considered to be in the past.
In fact, Uncle Su told us before that Tibetans do not eat fish. It is said that there are many reasons. One is that they believe in Buddhism and try not to kill animals. Another is that they are buried in water, and fish eat the corpses buried in water, so Not eating fish is also said to be related to sky burial, where vultures eat people and then poop into the river, and the fish eat the vulture's poop, so they don't eat fish.
The specific reason may not be clear to some Tibetans, but it is a custom passed down from ancient times.
After eating and resting, we continued our journey.
We have two ways to choose. The first is to wade across the river directly like foreigners. The other is to go to the left first, walk to the glacier, climb to the glacier, and then pass over the glacier, but we must choose Crossing the river, climbing the glacier is too strenuous after all.
In high-altitude areas, the temperature itself is a bit low, and the river water is naturally cooler. I tentatively walked to the river and held a handful with my hands, and it was bone-chillingly cold.
"If we just wade across the river, our feet won't freeze to death when we turn around, right?" Zhao Hu said after touching the water.
That's not what Jianzui said. If the altitude is higher and the temperature is lower, it will probably freeze into ice cubes directly in the shoes.
"How did the foreigners get there just now?" Lin Yuqi asked.
"They took off their shoes and rolled up their trouser legs."
"Then let's live like this."
With that said, Lin Yuqi sat on the stone and planned to take off her shoes.
However, Zheng Haoyang immediately dissuaded her: "Sister, don't take off your clothes. The water is not deep. I'll just let them carry you across."
Then he shouted to the bodyguards to carry Lin Yuqi on their backs. After that, he walked up to the short-haired woman and said, "Of course, I'll carry you over."
The short-haired girl obviously didn't give him this chance. She looked at me and asked me to carry her across the river.
If there were only the two of us here, I would definitely have no problem with it, but with so many people, especially Sister Yuan and Xiaoye, I naturally couldn't carry it.
I said jokingly: "The water is too cold, and I don't want to swim in it. I still hope that Zhao Hu will carry me across."
Zhao Hu cursed and said, "You are such a fucking big man. You asked me to carry you. I still want to carry Sister Yuan."
I winked at him, which meant that he would act with me first and send the short-haired girl away first.
Zhao Hu also understood what I meant. He sighed and walked over: "Okay, I'll carry you, but don't blame me if I throw you into the water later."
Seeing that Zhao Hu wanted to carry me, the short-haired girl had no choice but to give up the idea of letting me carry her. However, she did not let Zheng Haoyang carry her. She said that Zheng Haoyang was weak and was afraid that she would be thrown into the water halfway, so she insisted on letting him. A bodyguard will carry it.
Zheng Haoyang was helpless, and naturally he missed this opportunity to "save the beauty".
The short-haired girl and Lin Yuqi were carried by the bodyguard, Sister Yuan was carried by Zhao Hu, and Xiaoye was carried by her father. I originally planned to wade across the water, but then I wondered if the yak also had to cross the water. Well, so I simply lay on the back of the yak and let the yak carry me across.
After crossing the shore, we also lit a fire for those who were swimming in the water to warm themselves up before continuing our journey.
After walking for more than an hour, we encountered another glacier. This glacier was not very high, but it was very large and long. It stretched far and wide at both ends, and it seemed that there was no end in sight.
Rob Dondup said that he had no choice now but to climb up the glacier first and then walk on the glacier.
Before climbing the glacier, Xiao Zizi also discovered a glacier cave, which looked dark blue inside.
"Uncle, where does this hole lead to? Will it lead to where we are going behind? It looks so deep."
Xiao Zizi stood at the entrance of the cave and looked at Rob Dunzhu and asked.
Before Rob Dunzhu finished speaking, Zhao Hu scolded: "You idiot, you still want to get out of the hole? This hole must be a dead end."
Pigtail rolled his eyes at Zhao Hu: "How do you know it's a dead end? Did you dig this hole?"
"You can figure it out with your head. You won't be able to get out anyway."
Rob Dunzhu also smiled and said at this time: "You can't get out of there, and it's very dangerous. There are many ice picks on it that are thicker than your thighs. If they fall and hit someone, it will be hopeless." And it's not safe under your feet. It's fine if you step on the mountain. If it's ice, it might break directly. Then there's a deeper cave below, full of ice water. If no one can rescue you, you can't go up again. I won’t come, but if you are curious, you can go in and take a look, just don’t go too deep.”
Zhao Hu even deliberately raised his pigtails: "Uncle, when he heard you said it was so dangerous, he was so scared that he wet his pants, so he didn't dare to go in and take a look."
"Who says I don't dare? I'll go in and take a look." Xiao Zhuzi glanced at Zhao Hu and walked directly into the glacier cave.
Because I was also curious about what it was like inside, I also walked in. Other people later also walked in, especially the women, who were obviously very interested in this somewhat dreamy scene.
What can I say about the inside? The space is very large and deep. It looks dark inside, and there are indeed some ice picks on the top of the head. The tips of the picks are pointed downward. It is really dangerous if they fall and hit people.
After watching briefly for a while, we exited the cave, found a place at an angle that was not too steep, and climbed up the glacier.
Of course, we all put on Rob Dunzhu’s homemade spikes before climbing, otherwise it would be slippery when we climbed up.
