Survival male god

Chapter 325 It’s never too late to realize your dream

Chen Jing looked in the direction Jordan pointed.

It was a mountain cliff covered with ice and snow, and it looked extremely eye-catching among the gray-black valley peaks.

Viewed from this direction, it is extremely wide and steep, as if someone had used a huge sword to slash halfway up the mountainside, eventually forming a long platform.

"What's that place?"

Chen Jing asked curiously.

In my impression, there is no such a conspicuous huge platform in the Aosta Valley.

It seems that this is another difference between the two worlds.

Jordan replied: "That's the famous Remington Cliff, also called Wine Testing Cliff."

"It is said that it is the place where gods place wine glasses, so every year at the wine festival, the local winery that is selected as the best of the year will have a helicopter land on that platform, and then drop a bottle of the best wine from it. Aosta wine is a sacrifice and thanksgiving to the gods for creating such a suitable place for growing grapes and making wine.”

"I see!"

Chen Jingding nodded. This was the first time he heard such a story.

Jordan continued:

"It is a place where residents and tourists are prohibited from climbing because the surrounding area is very steep and it is not easy to climb up. Only experts like St. Bernard dogs can get there easily."

"Of course, if you are interested, you might as well go up and have a look. Adventurers have no taboos in doing anything, right?"

"Actually, I have tried it before, but it stopped working when I climbed halfway up. I couldn't get up at all. In short, if you want to find traces of Pop, you might find something there."

Chen Dingding nodded: "Good idea, let's go up there and have a look. Also, what I want to know is, can I see the entire Aosta Valley from there?"

"I'm afraid not. Although it's nearly 800 meters above sea level, you still can't see the real interior of the valley. You can imagine the Aosta Valley as the angle between two huge peaks. The higher you go, the higher the terrain becomes. The steeper it gets, glaciers and snow cover the entire upper part of the valley.”

"The complicated mountains block the view. No one has been to the top at all. Haha, if you ask me, it is actually more worth exploring than the Matterhorn. Maybe it is a place where treasures are buried. Would you like one?"

Jordan took out the aluminum box of cigarettes from his pocket.

Chen Jing waved his hand, declined the other party's kindness, and turned on the smart mosaic.

Next, the two people climbed all the way towards the north hillside.

Chen Jing has maintained his physical strength quite well recently, and climbing mountains is not a burden to him.

But Jordan is different. Although he often works, he is getting older after all.

At first, he could barely keep up with Chen Jing's pace, but after only half an hour, he was so tired that he sat on a stone and was out of breath.

"Chen...you are so powerful. I can't. Your body is as strong as a lion on the grassland, and you can conquer all kinds of obstacles."

"And I'm like a lame old horse. I'm so tired after running two laps. I could climb halfway up the mountain back then, but now it's difficult for me to climb halfway. Can you slow down a little? ?"

"Be considerate and considerate of my old man... I thought I was still very young, but when I saw you... I realized that I am already old. My daughter, Kimberly, is already 16 years old."

"Maybe you're right, I should go home, but..."

"I really want to go up there and have a look. I've been here for more than ten years and I've never been up there!"

Jordan gasped and stared at the mountains ahead.

Chen Jing stopped and realized that there was someone else following him.

He nodded slightly apologetically.

"Sorry, I'm used to it. Then, let's walk slowly. We can also look for food by the way. Do you know what kind of food you can find in this valley?"

Jordan looked a little embarrassed.

"If I had known, I wouldn't be so hungry."

"There isn't much that can be eaten in the valley. If it were in the plantations below, we could pick and enjoy all the fruits."

"But I thought I could pick up some nuts or something, oh, I remembered."

"There is also a very delicious fern in the mountains called deer ear root. Farm women often find it, wash it and blanch it in water, then add it with lemon and mint, add some salad, stir it and eat it .”

"But this thing is not easy to find. It will only appear when it appears again... How do you say that?"

"It's something you can meet but can't ask for?"

"Yes, yes, yes, you can meet but cannot ask for it!"

……

Climbing a mountain is not a boring thing, especially conquering an unfamiliar mountain. All the scenery you see on the way will make people feel admiration for nature.

Who doesn’t yearn for the vast world outside?
This is especially true for the new generation of people. Even just sitting in front of the screen, lying on the sofa, and using smart devices to watch other people's journeys is enough to satisfy their inner desire for adventure.

Chen Jing told his story, including all his past experiences, which was equivalent to retelling his adventurous life to Jordan and many new viewers in the live broadcast room.

Everyone listened with great interest, and Jordan even exclaimed and sighed from time to time.

In the past three hours, the two finally climbed to the bottom of Remington Cliff, about 300 meters away from the platform.

Chen Jing found many animal bones among the rocks, including sheep and cattle. The most amazing thing was that the fragrance of wine was floating in the air.

Every inch of land here seems to be soaked with the essence brewed by people's hard work.

"I have to get something to eat. These stones can easily be used to build a stove."

Chen Jing put down his backpack and took out a complete, smoked deer leg. He smelled it and found that it was very well preserved without even the slightest odor.

Next to him, Jordan's eyes widened.

"You hunted a red deer? It's really impressive. Sometimes you can't even hit this thing with a shotgun. They are so cunning."

"Did you catch it in a trap?"

Chen Jing laughed. "No, it got stuck at the entrance of the cave, and then it became my trophy."

"If there is such a thing, then you are really lucky. Okay, let's have this for lunch? I have never eaten a whole leg of deer."

"The debt I owe now is unpaid. I have to think about what to treat you to after we get down from the mountain. It's really nerve-wracking!"

Jordan was salivating, but he had to pretend to be polite.

"It's just a deer leg. It will be eaten sooner or later. In fact, I have another one in my backpack. You don't have to worry about eating up my food reserves. As I said, in the mountains, I never worry about starving to death. .”

Chen Jing was full of confidence. "That's true!"

Jordan nodded in agreement. From what Chen Jing said, he could already imagine what a great adventurer he was standing in front of.

The experiences this guy talks about are as amazing as legends.

"Ok, then let me go find some firewood and see if there are any wild fruits around that can be used as dessert."

"I remember this place, you can find some wild strawberries."

"it is good!"

Chen Jingding nodded and did not refuse the other party's idea of ​​helping.

It is much more efficient for two people to work together than one person.

He used a shell knife to treat the smoked venison leg, slightly scraping away some of the black oil and charcoal dust on the surface.

Then use a stone ax to remove the meat from the top and cut it into thick slices of deer leg meat with skin of about the same size.

"There are some very thin slates here. I plan to use these slates to fry these venison legs. The roasted meat is still too dry and the taste is really average. I can't waste the fat in the meat."

"Clean the slate first!"

Chen Jing poured some water from the bamboo tube, carefully cleaned the stone slab, and then placed it on the stone stove.

After he finished doing this, Jordan came back with a lot of firewood.

"Are you going to start the fire now?", asked the latter.

"Let me do it."

"Okay, I'll give you the lighter!"

Chen Jing took the lighter from Jordan and chopped all the firewood he brought back into small pieces with a stone axe.

Then the hay underneath was ignited, and the flames quickly shot up.

"What's this going to do? Barbeque on a stone?"

Jordan couldn't help but ask when he saw the meat slices arranged by Chen Jing.

"Yes, I think it may be more delicious than grilling it directly over an open fire or charcoal. The fat on the stone slab can be fully immersed in the venison. The biggest advantage of stone slab barbecue is that it is heated evenly, and there will never be any outside. It’s a situation where it’s handed in but the inside is still unfamiliar.”

"Actually, I rarely use this method, mainly in the wild. Suitable materials are hard to find, but I understand how it works, so I can guarantee that the smoked venison fried in this way will be special. Delicious, even better with cumin and chilli.”

Jordan could no longer agree with Chen Jing's point of view, even though he didn't know what cumin was and had never eaten barbecue with chili.

But he had eaten slate barbecue.

"Using stones as cooking tools can be found in many places, especially in central Italy. It is actually an ancient tradition, such as volcanic stone barbecue. Your judgment is correct. Every adventurer is a good cook. In addition to survival, Besides, your combined skills are simply amazing!”

"I think this is one of the reasons why you are so popular. You are simply a genius. If my daughter were older, I would definitely be willing to marry her to you, provided you don't dislike it."

"Hahahaha, just kidding... I have to respect the children's ideas at any time."

Jordan's thinking is really unpredictable. Perhaps this is the epitome of the character of most foreigners.

"You are a good father, but you are wrong about one thing."

"It's true that most adventurers know nothing about cooking. We just cook the food. Texture and taste are never issues we consider. As long as we can eat it!"

"Wait slowly. It may take three to four to 10 minutes to roast the meat. The stone is very capable of transferring heat."

"We're not in a hurry anyway, right? We can just enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Aosta Valley. By the way, where are those manors? I didn't see any human buildings all the way here."

Chen Jing motioned for Jordan to sit down.

The latter chose a stone, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and handed Chen Jing a stick full of fresh soil, like a tree root.

"what is this?"

"The root of dwarf mugwort is sweet. Chew it and spit out the residue. When I was grazing cattle, I ran out of cigarettes, so I used this thing as a substitute!"

"Don't worry, it's good food and won't upset your stomach. By the way, as for the question you just asked, it's actually very simple."

"Because there are plantation areas below, industrial pollution and domestic pollution are absolutely not allowed."

"Of the seven subdivisions in the Aosta Valley, only two are living areas. They are twenty miles away from where we are now."

"Hey, there is no job easier than taking care of grapes and goats. I just walk around the plantation a few times every day and take the sheep to the valley grass to sleep. But because the monsters in the mountains ate a lot of sheep, I was fired by my boss. Lose."

"Fuck, I admit that this was my dereliction of duty, and I don't blame my boss. At worst, I can still work as a porter in a winery."

"But I really want to know what the heck it was that ate so many sheep!"

"You know what? They even chewed up the goat's head, leaving only the horns and hooves uneaten."

"Oh, there are also cows. One of the cows was also killed!"

Jordan was filled with indignation and stroked his old, somewhat rusty shotgun. He had not touched this thing for many years.

"If I touch it, I might kill it, it depends!"

Chen Jing was noncommittal. Although animal protection regulations are universal internationally, many places stipulate that if wild animals cause serious losses or harm to citizens' property or personal safety, special measures may be taken to counteract them.

In other words, he was not qualified to stop Jordan's idea.

What's more, he had just killed two Tazo worms, a European red deer, and countless other rodents, fish, including insects and reptiles.

"Don't talk about these, let's talk about other things, such as the cliff in front of you. I think it is too difficult for you to climb up."

"For safety reasons, I suggest you wait for me below, and then we can enter the depths of the valley from other places."

Chen Jing reminded him kindly, but was rejected by Jordan.

"I still want to try. To be honest, I wanted to climb up and have a look more than ten years ago. Now I finally have the opportunity."

"What's more, when I was a kid, I also imagined that I could be a mountain climber when I grew up."

"There is a saying that it is never too late to realize your dreams. Moreover, my health is not bad. I was just too hungry before. It is only 300 meters. I can climb it. This is not the Matterhorn. Right?"

Chen Jing frowned and did not continue to persuade.

"Let's finish eating first and then talk!"
