Chapter 3863: Mountain Adventure
On a road into the mountains, you can see broken down and abandoned vehicles on both sides from time to time. As the road continues to extend, such situations are becoming less and less common.
Until the end, Xiao Yi and Xue Yaoyue saw that there were no traces of wheels rolling ahead. The road came to an end, but this was only for others. They had only walked one-third of the way.
Standing on the top of the mountain, the Kunlun Mountains are undulating and majestic, giving people a majestic feeling, like several dragons, interweaving and tumbling in these vast mountains, which looks daunting.
The car stopped at this moment and took a break. Xiao Yi stepped on a stone and picked up a telescope to look at the mountain in front. The mountain was getting higher and higher, and the altitude they were at was also constantly rising.
After crossing several mountains ahead, the top of the mountain was covered with snow, proving that the temperature there was getting lower and lower. Xiao Yi took a deep breath.
He and Xue Yaoyue were both cultivators. They had already learned a special breathing method. Standing here, there was no need to worry about altitude sickness. Pointing to the front, Xiao Yi said.
"The road ahead is getting harder and harder to drive. I estimate that if we drive, there will be no road in four hours. Even this powerful off-road vehicle will be stopped in the end."
The car modified by Lao Gui has brought the off-road performance to the extreme, but no matter how good the car is, it is impossible to drive through all roads.
From the map, the mountains ahead are full of gullies. Once the car overturns, it means falling into a gully hundreds of meters deep. Xiao Yi would rather not try such an adventure.
"Then we will park the car near this location. Anyway, at this speed, we can only reach here before dark today. Let's rest for one night and set off the next day."
It is now more than four o'clock in the afternoon. Due to the time difference, the sun will set around nine o'clock in the evening here, and the sun will rise from the east at more than eight o'clock in the morning.
This time, Xiao Yi went to find the location marked on the map, and it was not a hurry. He did as Xue Yaoyue said, rested at this location for one night, and set off the next day.
After resting for ten minutes, he drove off again. This time was different from the previous one. Xiao Yi drove through the no-man's land, without a road opened up for him.
He relied on his naked eye observation and knowledge of the terrain, combined with a line marked on the map of Xue Yaoyue. Following this line, he could reach the place he wanted to go in the shortest time.
At 8:30 in the evening, the car stopped on a mountainside. If he continued to move forward, he could no longer move forward. A big mountain in front blocked the way, with a slope of more than 50 degrees.
On one side was a cliff that was 100 meters deep. If the car was parked here, there was absolutely no need to worry about someone stealing it. This was a place where even thieves would not come.
"It seems that we can only reach here and cannot move forward. The rest of the way depends on our two legs."
Xiao Yi stopped the car and turned off the engine. Xue Yaoyue pushed open the door, jumped out of the car, and chuckled.
"It's not like we haven't encountered this kind of thing during training, just treat it as a special training."
Open the trunk, take out the tent and find an open space to build it. The two of them will stay on the mountain tonight.
The sun has already set and the sky is gradually getting darker. A tent is quickly built. Xiao Yi moved a few stones and simply built a stove.
There is an iron pot on it, add water to the pot, and when the water boils, put the ingredients he prepared into it one by one.
Cut the fresh beef into small pieces, which can supplement the protein and energy needed by the human body. Add vegetables to it to supplement the needed vitamins. After Xiao Yi's processing, a pot of special soup exudes an attractive smell.
Xue Yaoyue sat on a stone, waiting impatiently for Xiao Yi to cook the meal. After the sun went down, the temperature here dropped suddenly, only a few degrees above zero. If there is bad weather, it may even reach below zero.
"Xiao Yi, you are an omnipotent person. If I follow you out, my stomach will definitely not suffer."
"It's almost done. Let me let you taste it first. How does it taste?"
Xiao Yi looked at Xue Yaoyue who couldn't wait, scooped a spoonful into the bowl, and handed it to Xue Yaoyue.
"Be careful, it's hot!"
A bowl of beef and vegetable soup was emitting steaming hot air. It was definitely impossible to eat it.
Xue Yaoyue took a spoon and pinched it between her fingers. I saw a cold air flowing along her fingers and condensing on the spoon.
Then she put the spoon into the bowl. No matter how high the temperature of the soup was, it immediately lowered after being neutralized by the cold air. She stretched the spoon to the edge of her mouth and took a sip.
The freshness of the beef and the taste of the vegetables suddenly poured into her mouth. This feeling was so wonderful that Xue Yaoyue drank several mouthfuls in a row.
"It's so delicious. Xiao Yi, I don't want you to leave this time. How about you stay in the military area and cook for me?"
"You want to hire me as a cook, but the price is very high."
Xiao Yi knew that Xue Yaoyue was joking. For Xiao Yi, there are many things to do, and he will not stop for such a single thing.
The two of them sat here, eating and roasting by the fire, looking at the stars in the sky, as if they were back to the time of training. How good it felt at that time, without so many worries and burdens now.
As time went by, more and more things were put on Xiao Yi, making it impossible for Xiao Yi to go back to the past. Xiao Yi asked Xue Yaoyue.
"What are your plans for the future? You don't plan to stay in the army forever, do you?"
Xue Yaoyue knew that Xiao Yi was talking about the Jiang family. No matter how she tried to escape, she couldn't escape this point. She was a member of the Jiang family.
She lived in the Jiang family since she was a child. Although some things were unknown, she also regarded Jiang Zhen as her father. Jiang Zhen took care of her a lot when she was a child. Xue Yaoyue will never forget this for the rest of her life.
"Didn't you go back to the Jiang family after that? I heard that something big happened in the Jiang family, especially the last time your sister broke off the engagement, which caused the Jiang family to lose a lot."
"Xiao Yi, I actually thought about what you said, but now I don't know what identity I should face them. Before I think about this issue, I won't go back."
Yes, the responsibility for all this lies with her. If she hadn't run away from the marriage, nothing like this would have happened.
More importantly, after her sister broke off the engagement and returned to the Jiang family, her personality changed a lot. As a younger sister, she didn't have the face to face it.
