Chapter 52 [Ride on a hitchhiker]

Chapter 49【Take a ride】

Supper was a basket of bread, fresh from the oven.This hotel is in the style of the colonial era, and the service of baking bread in the back kitchen is still provided.

Mineral water and bread are enough for dinner—the local curry rice and bean soup, which Chen Nuo dared not even touch.

Around seven o'clock in the evening, Chen Nuo staggered out of the hotel and walked on the streets of Kathmandu.

In this era, there are not many domestic tourists in Kathmandu... Now the most popular is the new Matai in Southeast Asia.

It will not be until more than ten years later in the new media era that this place will be united by a group of Internet big Vs and several second-hand dealers in the tourism industry to come up with the gimmick of "the highest happiness index".

No one knows which pheasant organization rated the so-called "highest happiness index".

Anyway, the Nepalese people themselves certainly don't recognize it.

As far as the word literary youth is concerned, it was still a compliment in the 80s and [-]s because of its high gold content.Literary and artistic youths of that era also had a high threshold.You must at least be familiar with Tagore and Shelley Yeats. In China, Haizi Gucheng Shuting Beidao must be able to talk about it.

In the 90s, it was a little weaker, but at least you had to watch Wang Xiaobo and Sanmao, and you could talk about the new wave of movies one, two, three, four, five.Wong Kar Wai's lines are also an essential compulsory course.

After 2000, the dish was broken.The explosion of the Internet has caused a large number of young literary and artistic youths to pretend to be aggressive... There is actually nothing wrong with pretending to be aggressive, because the older generation of literary and artistic youths also like to pretend to be aggressive.

But the problem is that most of the new influxes who have no goods in their stomachs will only pretend to be forceful, and they are pretending to be blind.

One of the biggest reasons is that the literary youth before 2000 really had some cultural leadership.But after 2000, higher education became popular, and the streets were full of college students.

At this time, if an uneducated and hypocritical person BBs with you, passers-by will be disgusted: Who hasn't gone to college, who hasn't received higher education?Is it your turn to play with me?

Literary literacy is lacking, so he dared to pretend after reading a few words of chicken soup for the soul made by those literary second-hand dealers.

It was even more nonsense later, in the new media era, collective transformation, the years are quiet and graceful in one's own Weibo and circle of friends, and when they are in other people's places, they open and close their genitals.I haven’t read many books—I’ve read all of them in Xiaohongshu.

why?
Because the cost of pretense is low.

You don’t need to work hard to read the tomes or poems, it doesn’t matter if you understand them or not—you don’t need to read them.

Some are big Vs of new media, who use soft articles with private goods to condense the golden sentences and stuff them for you: Take it, you don’t need to read the whole work, just these two sentences are enough to pretend.

Having said that, those sand sculpture art youths who believe that Nepal is the world's highest happiness index are actually the same as those sand sculptures who took a ride to XZ and shouted that their hearts were purified and their souls sublimated... part of them overlapped, they were the same group of people.

Well, it’s just a few people, the ones who don’t fly, hitchhike all the way along the Sichuan-Tibet Highway, dress up like a gypsy girl, rub cars in the daytime, and bombard the sky at night, donating with their bodies instead of cars Expenses for travel, board and lodging, and finally all the way to the gate of the Potala Palace. (If you are interested, you can find some articles from previous years on the Internet, with descriptions, so I won’t go into details here.)
At this time, looking at the clean sky and breathing the air with low oxygen content, I shouted: the purification of the soul.

Then all kinds of pretentious texts on Weibo in the circle of friends were sent out, matching his dirty face with plateau red.

A hypocritical face that sees through the world, infinitely sublimates the soul, and purifies the soul...

Purify your sister.

Have you washed off the fishy smell on your body?

Whore.

Chen Nuo wandered around outside and came back with big bags.When he returned to the hotel, the mailed package had already been delivered to his room.

After counting the things in the room and packing them up, Chen Nuo came to the lobby on the first floor and found the owner of the hotel.

"I need to go to Lukla and then to EBC."

The owner of the hotel is an Englishman with dark skin and shrewd eyes. Looking at the guest in front of him, he smiled: "On foot?"

"No, the plane."

"My friend, if you are going to EBC, I suggest you fly to Lukla, then you can hike there, hire a few Sherpas, and then hire a yak team to transport your supplies, and you can take a look along the way Nice scenery."

Chen Nuo grinned: "I'm in a hurry, please contact me."

The owner's name was Wilson, a typical Briton's name.His hotel in Kathmandu looks inconspicuous, but it is actually a place that many lovers in the circle will choose.

And this Wilson himself is also a member of several local hiking associations—the senior kind.

Some mountaineering enthusiasts who come to Nepal for the first time can get some advice and help from him, of course, for a fee.

This is also the biggest reason why Chen Nuo chose this hotel.

He's going to EBC.

The full name is: Everest Base Camp
Commonly known as: Mount Everest Base Camp.

Located at an altitude of about 5300 meters, it is the base camp for all mountaineering teams and mountaineering enthusiasts all over the world who climb Mount Everest before launching a sprint to Mount Everest.

(Note 1: In fact, EBC in Nepal is the southern slope of Mount Everest, and there is also a base camp on the northern slope in my country's XZ. However, because the climbing difficulty of the southern slope is relatively low, most climbers will choose Nepal from a global perspective. The route—the mountaineering route in our country in the north is too dangerous.)
·
Wilson was hesitant at first, but when Chen Nuo slapped a stack of dollar bills on the table, the Englishman smiled.

"I just happen to have a few old friends who are going to EBC, but they are resting in the small town of Lukla now, and there will be a helicopter to take them to EBC tomorrow. You know, the helicopter from Lukla to EBC is not cheap, and, I Ask them if they are willing to temporarily add a strange passenger."

Chen Nuo thought for a while, then took out a few banknotes and put them on the table.

Wilson actually smiled this time.

"The few friends of mine are very generous people. I don't think they would reject a young mountaineering enthusiast from the East."

The banknotes on the table were collected by Wilson.

"Young man, although it's none of my business, I still want to say it. Climbing Mount Everest is not a joke. Do you have the professional ability and are you fully prepared?" Wilson simply turned around Poured a cup of coffee, put it on the table and pushed it to Chen Nuo, continued laughing:

"I have some familiar friends who can help you hire the most reliable Sherpa guide. Also, if you want to apply for a permit to climb Mount Everest, I can also get it at a cheap price."

Yes, license.According to the laws of the Nepalese government, a permit is required to climb Mount Everest, and a permit is... [-] US dollars.

"No, you misunderstood." Chen Nuo said with a smile: "I don't intend to climb Mount Everest, I just want to go hiking nearby. I'm not that kind of fool without a brain."

"That's good." Wilson's smile remained unchanged: "Every year, a few adventurers who are full of romantic fantasies but have no climbing ability come to climb Mount Everest... Every year there will always be some corpses. If you just If you want to walk around EBC, do you really need me to introduce a good Sherpa guide?"

Chen Nuo took a sip of coffee and put it down: "Please contact the plane as soon as possible. I hope to catch up with the helicopter of your friends."

"Then you won't be able to sleep well tonight. I will contact the airport in Kathmandu immediately. There is a regular flight to Lukla Airport tomorrow morning. After you arrive in Lukla, you can meet my friends and board their helicopter to EBC."

·
The small town of Lukla is well-known in the world mountaineering circle.

This town is inconspicuous on the map, but its location is very important.

For all mountaineering organizations or individuals who plan to climb Mount Everest, if they go up the mountain from the southern slope of Nepal, then the small town of Lukla is the last place to gather and replenish supplies.

The town of Lukla is 2840 meters above sea level and has a small population.

And here is an airport that is famous all over the world: Lukla Airport.

The reason why this airport is famous all over the world is because it is known as the most dangerous airport in the world.

It has a so-called "runway on the roof of the world".

The short 500-meter runway can only land small planes.At the end of the runway, there is a cliff with a drop of 700 meters.

In other words, once the plane takes off, the speed is not increased enough, and if it is not pulled up in time and rushes out of the runway, there will be no second result except the crash of the plane.

And this runway is still on a slope.

`
2001年3月21日，上午9点40分。

Lukla Airport.

The young Nivier Devonhill evaded her feet and stood under the control tower of the airport, watching her parents negotiating with the pilot.The uncle who was traveling with him was talking with a local guide and counting the luggage.

The young Nivier is a sporty girl who is proficient in swimming, horse riding, and has a scuba diving license. At the same time, she is also an expert in skydiving and a member of the Eton College Ski Club.

In a word, it's not the kind of aristocratic girl who is weak in the traditional sense.Although the surname Devonhill is enough to prove the ancient and noble status of her blood.

Let's just say, this is a young girl who loves sports and even extreme sports.

(Maybe foreigners are rich in this type of life that loves to die?)

Her facial features are deep, a delicate face rarely seen among Caucasians.

Because of the perennial exercise, Nivier's young face has the healthy flush that is unique to young people, and she looks full of vitality and vitality.The long-term exercise has made the girl's exquisite figure full of unrestrained youthful and vigorous vitality.

Born in this aristocratic family, her parents are both athletes, especially her father, Rock Devonhill, is a famous mountaineering enthusiast.His mother was a Cambridge University kayaker.Uncle is an equestrian master.

It can be said that Nivier has inherited the sports gene of this family, and she is excellent in all aspects—if it is not for the existence of her sister.

Nivier looked not far away, standing next to the helicopter and carefully observing a slender figure in the cockpit.

Lacus Devonhill, 24 years old this year.The iconic blonde hair and good looks of the Devonhill family.

If it is said that Nivier has inherited the good genes of the family.

Then the 24-year-old Lacus is the sports genius of the Devonhill family, and even more so is the dark cloud that hangs over her younger sister Nivier.

Nivier is a master skier.Elder sister Lacus was already a senior member of the famous Sölden Ski Association at the age of 19. At the age of 20, he swam across the English Channel and was featured in The Times.At the same time, she is also a master of "alpine climbing skills".

Let's put it this way, sister Lacus is proficient in almost all the items Nivier is good at, and they are all better than her.

In addition, she also inherited the beauty of the Devonshire family and has a hot figure. Lacus is even the darling of the media, and has been on the cover of several sports magazines.

Coming to Nepal this time is a [holiday] behavior of the Devonhill family.

They didn't intend to climb Everest, not this time.

The biggest purpose of this trip is to take the two daughters in the family to the base camp under Mount Everest to feel the atmosphere of the climbing circle. At the same time, go to the less difficult Lobuche Peak, known as the vane of Mount Everest. Check it out and let the kids, especially Nivea, experience the mountaineering vibe.

The Devonhill family is not short of money. Naturally, they will not walk from Lukale to EBC (Everest Base Camp) like ordinary mountaineering enthusiasts, and they did not waste time hiring yak teams to deliver supplies and equipment. From Lucar Airport to EBC by helicopter.

This can save about seven or eight days.

Hmm... money ability.

"Okay girls, we're ready to go."

Stride came Uncle Benjamin, the bearded fellow who was the younger brother of the girls' mother.

Well, according to the tradition of Huaxia Kingdom, it should be called Uncle.

But Europeans are not divided, and they are all called uncles.

"Can we go?" Nivier was already a little impatient: "Dad said there is still a guest waiting?"

Nivier's complexion was not very good-looking.

Benjamin looked up, resting his hand on his forehead, looking at the sky.

The sound of an engine came faintly from the sky.

After a while, a small silver-white plane descended slowly and landed on the runway. After taxiing for a while, it finally landed safely.

"It seems that our late guests are here." Benjamin smiled and ran away.

Nivier looked ugly, staring at the plane parked in the distance.

·
Ten minutes later, Chen Nuo stood in front of Devonhill's family.

The teenager was wearing a red mountaineering suit and protective glasses, and smiled with white teeth.

The father of two children, Rock, looked at the guest in front of him: "The guest introduced by Wilson? I want to see your passport first, sir."

"no problem."

Chen Nuo took out his passport and handed it to the handsome middle-aged guy in front of him.

Rock opened it and took a look: "Your name is..."

"Chenyang." Chen Yanluo lied without blinking: "21 years old, from HK."

There is no doubt that the passport that Chen Nuo took out is a fake.

He just got it after he arrived in Kathmandu yesterday. It is locally made and costs $50.

After he arrived in Kathmandu, whether he was staying in a hotel or facing the Devonhill family at this moment, he used this passport. There is no internet in Kathmandu, so it is easy to pass the hotel.

As for the present...

Sure enough, Rock didn't doubt it, and returned the passport to Chen Nuo, but he added: "You speak English very well, and your accent is also standard. Have you ever been to London?"

"I've traveled a few times." Chen Nuo grinned, "I'm an Arsenal fan."

Sure enough, Roque's face immediately became closer: "Very well, we are all Arsenal fans. You are welcome to join, Mr. Chen."

The handsome middle-aged man shook hands with Chen Nuo, and then said with the strict attitude unique to the British: "Let's just say, you are only paying to take our plane, and any actions and consequences you have along the way will be borne by you." We have no relationship. And our counterparts are limited to flight journeys, once the plane lands at EBC, we no longer have any partnership.”

"Of course, I'm just riding a ride." The young man smiled politely and showed white teeth.
