Earth's ephemeris, early morning on February 7, 2110.
It's still dark, and snowflakes are still flying.
Melanin quietly returned to the car. After washing up, he started cooking breakfast for the mother and son.
Being a guest in other people's homes is not accustom to the red tape, nor is it convenient for two people to have a meal. She feels that it is best to have enough food and clothing by herself.
These days, all the dried wild boar meat brought from Dambang has been eaten up.
When passing through a pastoral area, I bought a large amount of donkey meat, beef, and mutton dry goods, basically filling all the storage boxes in the car.
The journey was expensive and expensive, and the cash I carried with me when setting off from Nangang had already been used up.
Electronic payment is the norm, but a few remote mountainous areas are still not used to digital currency and require cash transactions.
To this end, I took out a lump sum of money when passing through towns to meet individual needs.
Starting from home, the entire trip so far has cost a total of several million yuan.
Fortunately, I saved a lot of accommodation expenses, and the main expenses were concentrated on the purchase of vehicles, food and other items.
Next, a long journey is required.
Wenwen got out of the car and did a morning exercise called "evening gymnastics" to warm up his body.
At this time, the little daughter from the house opposite got up early and came to the car to say hello.
Wenwen enthusiastically taught the little sister to continue practicing "balanced gymnastics" and took the trouble to correct her mistakes. She only stopped when her mother called for dinner.
After nearly an hour of careful guidance, coupled with the beginner's basics last night, the young lady basically mastered the essentials of practicing "even gymnastics" and initially learned this set of martial arts similar to Chinese martial arts schools.
For some reason, the little sister has been particularly close to Wenwen since last night. She likes to be next to him, listen to him talk, watch him do exercises, and is particularly interested in learning "evening gymnastics".
Wenwen did not expect that his unintentional actions would make this "evening gymnastics" quietly popular in Tibet.
In the following years, as his fame rose, it gradually became popular and became popular all over the world.
After going deep into Tibet, Wenwen did not notice that when he practiced the spiritual magnetic field in the early morning, the scope of the magnetic field began to slowly expand again.
What is even more surprising is that within the scope of his magnetic field, indescribable magnetic particles have quietly penetrated.
There seemed to be an invisible energy that was silently changing the structure of his mental magnetic field, greatly improving the range of perception, intensity of perception, and accuracy of perception.
When he used mental magnetism to train animals raised in grassland pastoral areas to attack, he was able to cause rabbits and sheep with low IQs to faint or go into shock, which surprised Melanin.
Wenwen had no way of explaining the cause and effect, and because he was afraid of worrying his mother, he kept silent.
If he didn't say it, how could Melanin not understand the difference?
Based on this situation, she was absolutely sure that her son's mental abilities were in a different category than her own.
One can only interfere, but the other can launch fatal attacks.
When Wenwen's spiritual magnetic field covered the little sister, it was obvious that the little girl's expression was intoxicated, as if she had been greatly inspired and moved.
Melanin noticed this, but this time he couldn't figure out why an offensive mental power would make a Tibetan child so close to his son?
She knew that her son had undergone a new transformation.
The mother and son had a simple breakfast, took two days' worth of dry food, said goodbye to the family, and prepared to set off.
Wenwen waved to the young lady, and under her reluctant eyes, crossed the smooth mirror-like lake surface and embarked on the journey of adventure.
…
The mother and son turned onto the steep mountain road and jumped and flew freely among the winding snow-capped mountains and ravines, feeling very carefree and at ease.
After more than 2 months of training, Wenwen has made rapid progress and can run very fast. With sufficient strength, he can reach a speed of 20 kilometers per hour and continue for 3 hours.
After marching continuously for 2 hours, we must have penetrated deep into the hinterland of the snow-capped mountains, and a large dense forest appeared in front of us.
Along the way, the two of them had a real feast for their eyes.
Cliffs, deep valleys, rapids, shoals, schools of fish, exotic flowers and plants, high mountains, dense forests, steep and steep mountains.
Blue sky, white clouds, white snow, silver mountains, falling snowflakes, soaring eagles, loud singing, and intoxicating aroma of wine.
Flying prayer flags, devout beliefs, simple souls, peaceful lives, Tibetan people who are devoted to Buddhism, and free biological species constitute a legendary picture of the struggle between heaven and earth on the human plateau.
Picturesque landscapes, poetic years.
People living in this kind of paradise, although a little lonely, are happy and carefree.
Melanin envied them very much and felt that coming here to be quiet and quiet in his free time would be a kind of relaxation in life.
Wenwen found it more novel and fun, letting go with all her heart, and sang a hodgepodge of songs in various languages, making her mother laugh happily.
The mother and son found a sheltered cave at the edge of the tall primeval forest. They were about to take a rest and eat something, but they unexpectedly broke into the territory of a Tibetan bear.
The Tibetan bear in the cave seemed to have just entered hibernation and was not yet completely asleep. After hearing the sounds from the outside, it roared a few times but did not rush out.
When Wenwen untied the alloy rod in his hand and planned to fight, his mother stopped him in time.
"Wenwen, this is to protect animals. We have not been substantially violated and there is no need to defend ourselves."
"Oh, I see. So what do they look like?"
Melaine led the way and popularized animal knowledge.
"The brown bear is about 1.8-2.1 meters long, with a shoulder width of about 1 meter, a broad head and a long snout tip, rounded ear shells, shoulder height higher than hip height, raised shoulders when standing, a very short tail, and very strong limbs."
"They mainly live in forest areas in mountainous areas and have a mixed diet. They mainly hunt pikas and marmots by digging holes. They can run at speeds up to 56 kilometers."
"During hibernation, the body temperature, heartbeat and detoxification system will stop functioning to reduce the loss of heat and calcium and prevent hypothermia and osteoporosis."
The mother and son were about to turn around and leave when they suddenly heard the childish cry of a little bear coming from inside the cave.
Wenwen said in confusion: "Mommy, didn't you say that Tibetan bears are hibernating? Why are there still little bears shouting? Don't little bears need to hibernate?"
Mei Lanyin touched her son's head and said with a smile: "I forgot to tell you, a mother bear can give birth to babies during hibernation, 1-2 babies per litter, and inside are the cubs that have already been born."
"Can you take one back to feed me?"
"No, mother bear will fight us tooth and nail. However, in spring, mother bear often takes her cubs to play in the forest. When we have the opportunity, we can come and see what the hidden bears look like."
"Then let's go, don't disturb the mother bear feeding her cubs."
The mother and son quickly walked away, no longer disturbing the brown bear from feeding its offspring.
This season is the coldest period in Tibet. As we go deeper into the canyon, in the open area, the temperature has dropped to about -25°C.
The cold is very biting, and it is simply unbearable to stay in the wild for a long time.
This kind of temperature is suitable for Melaine and does not affect his movements.
Wenwen is a little overwhelmed. This has exceeded the limit of what he can endure at the moment.
The two hurriedly walked through the woods and stopped temporarily in a shallow cave sheltered from the wind.
At this time, in the dense forest, no birds or beasts could be heard chirping, and most of them were probably hiding in their nests for the winter.
Wenwen's body heat was consumed quickly, so he quickly took out the dried donkey meat and started chewing it.
It was noon, and some sunlight was still shining through the clouds.
With a little warmth and dry food, I was finally able to hold on.
Melaine understood that the temperature would be even lower at night, at least dropping to above -30°C, and he had to find a place to stay before the sun set.
Based on what she learned during the conversation last night and the information she checked online on the car's computer, she knew that there must be a hot spring in the snow-capped mountains. If it could be found, the problem of keeping out the cold at night would be solved.
If it really doesn't work, we can only continue to move forward. There is a Ba people's residence 30 kilometers away, and you can stay overnight.
Otherwise, just find a way to light a fire to stay warm, spend the night, and head back tomorrow.
She let her son stay in the cave, took off her backpack, gave her son the bow and arrows for self-defense, and flew up the cliff to find the hot spring.
Half an hour later, Mei Lanyin returned to the place with a look of helplessness and spread her hands to her son, indicating that he had not found him.
Wenwen ate a bunch of salted dried meat and drank a few sips of highland barley wine, which filled his body with energy.
I was a little thirsty, so I grabbed a ball of white snow and stuffed it into my mouth. I poured cold water into my throat, which made me tremble, but I soon returned to normal.
He smiled and looked at his mother, nodding to indicate that he was fine and ready to go.
Seeing that his son was in good condition, Mei Lanyin was unequivocal and put the basket on his back, and the two of them set off again and headed forward.
With the supply of calories brought by food digestion, Wenwen continued to move forward at a fast speed.
After constant exercise, the blood vessels circulate smoothly, and the hands and feet begin to regain their flexibility.
There were several avalanches along the way, and the two of them took advantage of the dangers to improve their physical coordination while looking for hot springs.
Unfortunately, no place for heating could be found until we got close to the areas where ethnic minorities live.
On a cliff, the mother and son used high-definition telescopes and finally saw the depression surrounded by mountains below. Sure enough, there were people living there and it was a settlement of the Ba people.
The scene in the village was an eye-opener for the two of them.
The hot steam is steaming under the cliffs of the southern peaks. It is obviously a large hot spring. The spring water merges with the snow water and passes by the village to form a stream that will never freeze.
Beside the stream, many Ba women were washing clothes and scooping water, men were chopping firewood or weaving rattan baskets, and old men were smoking pipes and chatting.
Children in brightly colored clothes were playing on the flat dry ground in the village, playing carefree and creating a lively and peaceful atmosphere.
Wooden houses, stone houses, and tents are all in various colors and styles.
Animal skins, bacon, dried fruits, dried snow lotus stems and other objects are hung in front and back of the house, and livestock roam around in search of food.
The snow-covered area outside the village extends to the foot of the mountain wall. Snow lotuses of different sizes and bright colors are planted, fluttering in the wind, like a sea of flowers.
A simple wall was built with thorns at the entrance of the village to block the intrusion of wild beasts in the forest.
Because of the humidity of the hot springs, the entire valley is much warmer than the outside world. It is truly a paradise.
While stopping to watch, Mei Lanyin popularized the national customs to his son.
"Historical records show that the ancestors of the Ba people have thrived in the mountainous areas for a long time."
"During the festival, cattle and sheep are slaughtered, sumptuous wine and food are prepared, and guests are entertained."
Wenwen asked several questions about the unclear points, and Melanin explained them one by one.
At this time, it was almost dusk.
Meilan considered all factors and did not want to disturb these ethnic minorities unless he had to.
She asked her son to stay in a snow cave on the mountain peak, and she prepared to find the source of the hot spring before dark.
The hard work paid off. An hour later, Mei Lan came back excitedly and told her son the good news that the hot spring had been discovered.
