Chapter 3965 Hiking
The little girl and a group of children slept in the open air. Apart from the professional driver and the night watchman, the other ancient cultivators followed suit, using the sky as their blanket and the ground as their bed.

Jun Shao, who was on night watch that night, sat in the bus, quietly observing his surroundings.

Although the campsite is in the wilderness and is some distance from the foot of the Kunlun Pass, there are basically no traces of wild animals throughout the year, so there is no need to worry about wolves or snow leopards attacking the camp.

The young men on night watch remained vigilant, keeping a close watch on their surroundings.

The first half of the night passed peacefully.

The watchmen change shifts.

Nothing happened during the second half of the night.

The temperature was low at night, and when I woke up the next day, the grass was wet, and the surface of my sleeping bag was also wet.

The carpet had absorbed the water and was heavy.

The handsome guys packed their sleeping bags, moved the carpet onto the roof rack of the scout vehicle, and secured it to prevent it from being blown away by the wind.

The high sunlight on the plateau means that carpets placed on the roof rack of scout vehicles can dry in just half a day.

The little girl brought a gray carpet, which was not conspicuous on the car roof, so she didn't have to worry about attracting attention.

A new day begins, marking the third day of officially embarking on the Q-Z Province highway.

The cycling distance that day was even longer than yesterday, nearly 100 li (approximately 50 kilometers).

The third day of the cycling trip ended at the foot of the Kunlun Pass.

According to the itinerary, I will cycle 60 li in the morning and 40 li in the afternoon.

The girls failed to complete the task, but the boys, true men, persevered and made it to the finish line.

Just like the first day, it got dark before the cycling team even reached the campsite, and everyone rode for several miles wearing headlamps.

The cycling team arrived at the foot of Kunlun Pass too late that day, so the little girl didn't perform the mountain-worshiping ceremony. The ceremony was held the next morning.

Kunlun is the ancestor of all mountains, the birthplace of Chinese civilization, and the faith of the Chinese people.

In the hearts of the people, the Kunlun Mountains hold a supreme position. Looking at the world, no mountain can compare with the sacred and majestic Kunlun Mountains.

The ceremony to worship the ancestral mountain was solemn and dignified, with all participants performing the three summer sacrifices and devoutly paying homage to the ancestral mountain in a grand ceremony.

After the solemn mountain worship ceremony concluded, the tour group reheated all the offerings from the ceremony and shared a portion with each person at breakfast.

They didn't start a new journey that day; they rested for a day first.

The sunlight on the plateau is strong, and in just three days, the skin color of both the girls and boys has darkened by one shade.

After three days of cycling, the boys persevered, but they were indeed starting to feel fatigued.

However, on their day off, the group of boys and girls, disregarding their fatigue and the ultraviolet rays, ran wild in the wilderness like they were on steroids.

The little girl didn't stop them, letting the mischievous kids explore as they pleased.

It's a great thing that a group of mischievous kids came to the high plateau wilderness for the first time, showing curiosity about the geology and landforms, and were willing to explore the world and learn about the unknown.

With the handsome men from the Gu Xiu family and He Xiaoba and Mr. Li looking after the mischievous child, Le Xiao didn't go on the field observation trip; she was making yak jerky at the camp.

While resting at the foot of the mountain, the little girl didn't dare let the little rascal sleep in the open air, so adults and children slept on the floor inside the bus.

After a day of rest and recuperation, the goal for the sixth day is the Kunlun Mountain Pass.

That little brat is so heartless, she's making all the kids, big and small, climb the mountain on foot!
Whether it was the ancient heroes or the three blue and nine black men, they all remained silent in the face of the seemingly predetermined schedule of the young master/little loli.

The Kunlun Mountain Pass is over 4,700 meters above sea level, while the city of Golmud is over 2,700 meters above sea level. The Kunlun Mountain Pass is more than 2,000 meters above sea level than the foot of the mountain.

Hiking up a mountain is no small feat.

Every child in the Gu Xiu family, upon reaching adulthood, has hiked through Z province. Hiking through the Kunlun Mountain passes is an essential training exercise for the younger generation within the family.

The prospective young masters of each family repeatedly trekked back and forth across the Kunlun Mountain pass to hone their skills.

Those who haven't experienced it have no right to speak. They've hiked it themselves and know how arduous it is, so they have the right to speak.

However, most people remained tight-lipped.

I was even a little excited to see how the boys would perform.

The boys, both young and old, who had never experienced the harshness of high-altitude climate and altitude sickness, were unaware of the hardships of hiking and climbing mountains, and were instead full of confidence.

Li packed his backpack the day before, got up in the morning, packed his sleeping bag, ate breakfast, rested, and then set off.

Most of the vehicles went ahead, while two buses and several cars remained at the camp.

If the hiking group doesn't need it, the convoy that stays behind can climb the mountain later. If anyone in the hiking group can't keep up, they can go and help them.

The little girl also changed into modern clothes, carried a backpack, and accompanied the kids on a hike up the Kunlun Pass.

Hua Shao, Jiang Shao, Lü Shao, and others, one by one, put on loose-fitting clothes suitable for exercise, each carrying a backpack, and joined the walking group.

Everyone's backpacks were similar, containing a waterproof jacket, a raincoat, a light, water, high-energy food to replenish energy, and medication to prevent altitude sickness.

The team has three satellite phones for easy communication.

After getting ready, the marching group set off.

He Xiaoba, who had traveled to and from the plateau many times, once again set out with his backpack on, leading the group of children.

The Zhang family's young son and daughter, carrying their small backpacks, happily followed their aunt. The group, lined up in two rows, embarked on their new journey to climb the mountain pass.

From the campsite to the Kunlun Pass, the altitude continues to rise, the air becomes thinner, and the temperature gradually decreases.

The hiking group also attracted the attention of passing convoys, truly becoming the center of attention.

The mountaineering team conserved their energy and didn't care about what others thought.

The youngest boy in the Zhang family is the one with the best physical condition and adaptability; he experienced no discomfort whatsoever.

That's right, he's too small and his strength is limited. He only managed to climb up to a point about 200 meters above the altitude of the campsite before he ran out of energy.

Miss Chao herself found it difficult and could not help her son. So, Little Le put his backpack in front of him, picked up his nephew and put him on his back, and carried him away.

None of Chen Fengnian and his friends, the mischievous kids in the amusement park, or the children in Meicun experienced altitude sickness.

On the contrary, the young girl Zhang Xuanji experienced some altitude sickness when she walked to a relative altitude of about 500 meters. She could no longer hold on when she climbed to a relative altitude of about 700 meters and was forced to give up the hike.

Yueyun made a phone call to notify the scouts to come and pick her up.

A scout vehicle arrived as requested, picked up the young girl Zhang Xuanji, and then followed the group slowly.

Cao Bingyue, Chen Xiaohe, and Chao Da Guniang didn't last long either. They reached a height of about 150 meters above sea level, which was the same as the position where Zhang Xuanji left the group, and they couldn't hold on any longer.

The scout vehicle, carrying four girls, bypassed the main group and headed ahead to the mountain pass.

Zhang Yuheng was very fortunate because he did not experience altitude sickness and his physical condition was good. The little girl did not let him ride in the car, but carried him on her back to continue hiking.

The hiking team climbed up the mountain little by little, and when they reached the mountainside at an altitude of more than 3,500 meters, it suddenly started to rain.

Well-prepared, the group put on their raincoats and braved the rain to move forward.

The higher you go, the slower the team moves.

Fortunately, the rain was just a shower and stopped after only ten minutes.

After the rain stopped, the sun came out again.

The group took off their raincoats and continued on their way.

After climbing to an altitude of over 3,800 meters, the team rested on the spot, ate some dry food, and replenished their energy.

As you move from low to high altitudes, many items cannot withstand changes in air pressure and are not suitable to carry. The hiking team carried beef jerky that the little girl made yesterday.

After each person ate several large pieces of beef jerky and rested, they continued climbing upwards.

As the altitude increased, the hiking group slowed down.

In August of the Gregorian calendar, the days are long; however, the hiking team was still at an altitude of 8 meters when it got dark.

The team at the foot of the mountain knew where the others were, and they also headed towards the pass.

Several vehicles started late but still caught up with the hiking group. They weren't in a hurry and followed behind, inching their way along.

The hiking group moved slowly, step by step, and when they finally reached a valley surrounded by mountains, half of the boys' fatigue instantly disappeared.

The Kunlun Mountain Pass is a crucial passage for highways from Q Province to Z Province. It is a vital strategic location and a place of great importance to military strategists.

There is a geological park at the pass, as well as many statues, one of which is a statue of a hero who sacrificed his life to protect Tibetan antelopes.

Of course, in addition to the lack of a border post, the pass also has guesthouses that provide temporary rest and free accommodation for drivers or passing vehicles.

The guesthouse only has the rooms themselves, without any furniture. If drivers or tourists are staying at the guesthouse, they need to bring their own sleeping bags and other items.

The advance team of the little girl's group was waiting at the mountain pass ahead of them. The vehicles were parked in the area where the guesthouse was located, and the cooks in charge of the meals had also prepared dinner.

A group of ancient cultivators also had an advance team. They arrived two days earlier and, together with the later arrivals, built a fire pit with mud in front of the guesthouse and lit a fire.

The fuel used to start the fire was yak dung.

The advance team gathered around the fire, warming themselves and roasting meat.

The advance team of the Gu Xiu family did not occupy the guesthouse. There were several cars parked near the guesthouse, belonging to tourists on a self-driving tour.

Tourists on self-driving tours also joined the bonfire party.

They weren't just taking advantage of the situation; they brought out the sausages or meat they had brought with them.

The area around the campfire was bustling with activity.

Wearing headlamps and groping in the dark, a group of boys climbed to the mountain pass. Smelling the aroma of roasted meat, their mouths watered, and they rushed over with a roar, seemingly drawn by some unknown strength.

"Little beauty, your kids are amazing! They climbed all the way up here without their legs giving way."

The ancient cultivators were also jealous. They had climbed this far on foot during their adult training without their legs going weak because they had been cultivating since childhood. These kids, however, were not ancient cultivators.

"I dared to make them hike up the mountain because I knew their physical condition too well and knew their limits."

With a smile on her face, Yueyun took slow, deliberate steps forward.

"Your brat is amazing, but you're even more amazing." Xuan Shao and the others walked slowly with the little girl. The little boy from the Zhang family hadn't left his side ever since his young lady carried him on her back.

The little girl carried a child on her back and climbed from the foot of the mountain to the pass. She wasn't even panting, let alone sweating.

Among the young men, none were convinced except for Master Yue.
