Chapter 409 Overcoming the Mountain

The tall mountain in the stove over there is already on fire, and the water in the pot is gurgling and steaming.

Soon the chopped rabbit meat and mushrooms were put into the pot, and everyone sat around and waited.

According to the habit of their group on the road, they always cook something simple at noon, stewing a pot of vegetables, steaming some yams and taro, etc. It is enough, and they will cook something richer when they camp at night.

Mu Qingli looked up at the mountain range that was less than half climbed, and said with a smile: "This stew is probably the last meal before going down the mountain. If you go up the mountain, you won't be able to eat stew." Meat! At most, burn some egg drop soup to drink, meat can only be eaten roasted."

The three men were taken aback for a moment, a little bewildered.

"Why?" A Yuan couldn't help but said, "Is there no firewood up there?"

Food and cooking utensils are available in Mu Qingli's space, so it doesn't matter if you can't find fresh prey. After thinking about it, A Yuan only thought of this reason.

Gao Dashan looked at A Yuan with an idiot's gaze, "Why is there no firewood in this mountain? Qingli, can't you cook food on this mountain? Is this a taboo?"

This mountain is really high. They have never climbed such a high mountain along the way.

Mo Yunshen also smiled and said: "Is there a taboo about this? I've never heard of it. But what the lady said is definitely not wrong. If the lady says yes, then it is naturally."

Mu Qingli was speechless. Should she explain to these three uneducated guys?

It has nothing to do with the taboo, it's just because the boiling point of water decreases as the altitude increases, so there is no pressure cooker, and things can't be cooked well! The eggs are not even cooked.

If it must be said that it is a taboo, well, it is probably a taboo of God.

"You can put it that way," Mu Qingli touched her nose, and said, "Something that's too high won't be cooked properly."

The three of them said "oh", doubtful, obviously these three uneducated people didn't take Mu Qingli's absurd statement to heart, and all of them were very kind and didn't object to her openly.

All three of them have the same idea, as long as the fire is burning, how can it be impossible to cook something?

Seeing their expressions, Mu Qingli knew that these three uneducated people didn't take her words to heart, so she couldn't help raising her eyebrows, forget it, anyway, they will know when the time comes.

After lunch, they called back the big peacock, and the four of them continued their journey up the mountain with the big peacock.

Although there is no big tortoise, the footsteps of the four people are not slow, and there are fewer weeds, vines and shrubs as they go up, and they are all big trees that grow strong, which does not hinder the journey.

Halfway through, Mu Qingli took out thick cotton clothes from the space, and the four of them added clothes once and continued to go up.

In the evening, camp in the pine forest.

They tried to cook wild eggs, boiled together with the shells, but they were not cooked. The three men were amazed, and couldn't believe that such a strange thing could happen in the world. Isn't the flame still burning vigorously? How could the eggs not be boiled?

Only then did he believe Mu Qingli's words.

Except for Ah Yuan who felt a little tight in the chest, as if he couldn't breathe, the other three didn't feel this way.

But Gao Dashan was so anxious that he thought that A Yuan was sick, so he hurriedly asked Mo Yunshen to come and have a look.

Mu Qingli couldn't laugh or cry, she knew in her heart that this was altitude sickness.

However, it was difficult to explain clearly, so he told Gao Dashan that it was because he had climbed too high a mountain, that's why it happened, and when he continued to climb the mountain tomorrow, it shouldn't be a problem if he slowed down a bit.

This is a normal reaction, but not everyone will have this kind of reaction. For example, the three of them haven't had this kind of situation for the time being. Of course, if they continue to go up, it might happen.

How did she know? There is a book explaining it in the space.

When she said this, Gao Dashan and the others felt relieved a little, but they couldn't help becoming more worried. You must know that they haven't climbed halfway yet, and they may have to spend another two nights on the mountain before they can cross it.

If this goes up, it's hard to say whether they will have the symptoms of A Yuan, but A Yuan will definitely get worse.

This, Mu Qingli has nothing to do, in this ancient times, where can I find an oxygen cylinder for A Yuan?

Not to mention Ayuan, the big peacock is also a little sluggish, and I don't know if it can successfully climb over.

"Let's not be in a hurry, let's take a step at a time!" Mu Qingli said.

Mo Yunshen and Gao Dashan had no other choice but to do so.

However, when sleeping at night, Gao Dashan shared a tent with A Yuan, and A Yuan did not lie down again, but sat up, which made him a little more comfortable. If he lay down, the feeling of boredom would be even worse.

The next day, I continued to go up. After walking for half a day, snow suddenly appeared on the ground. Although there were no snowflakes falling in the sky at the moment, there was snow on the ground.

The snow is not thick, and the deep part is only over the ankles, and it is not overwhelming everywhere, scattered on the roots and turf.

At this height, no tall trees can be seen, most of them are small shrubs as tall as a person, and various grasses.

There are fewer obstacles to the journey, but the cold weather and howling cold wind make people complain.

"What kind of mountain is this? It's snowing this season! It's going to freeze people to death!" Everyone complained with their hands clapped.

Mu Qingli didn't explain anything further, thinking that this is normal, you don't even look at how high this mountain is...

Mo Yun smiled deeply: "Fortunately, none of us have any discomfort, and we will be fine when we get down the mountain."

Mu Qingli also said: "Shut up and hurry up. The three of us are not like A Yuan, and A Yuan's symptoms have not worsened. This is luck!"

Sure enough, we spent a total of three nights on the mountain, and at about noon on the fourth day, we finally climbed to the top of the mountain.

Standing on the highest point of the ridge, the four of them felt a sense of relief. Looking down from the heights, they felt really good no matter how they looked at it.

Even Ah Yuan, who had chest tightness and shortness of breath, suddenly became sober.

The big peacock, although he has thick feathers, has never experienced this kind of situation. The whole bird has been so terribly wilted for the past two days, the four of them couldn't help but feel a little pitiful.

Fortunately, despite all the talk, it still kept up.

Standing on the highest point at this moment, although it is the coldest and the coldest time, but every step is equal to a step closer to returning to normal temperature.

"This ghostly place! I really don't want to stay for a moment, let's go down quickly!" A Yuan, who was wrapped up like a stupid bear and was still so cold that his voice was trembling, said tremblingly.
