Chapter 923: Is watching a horror movie this exciting?
At the beginning, when Chen An purchased equipment and even some food, Da Meitao didn't notice anything wrong and even thought it was a bit exaggerated.
But three hours later, looking at the Great Wall vaguely visible in the distant mountains, Da Meitao felt so miserable that her calves were cramping!
Seeing Yang Tao's embarrassed look, Chen An could still understand her very well. To be honest, on this winding mountain road, an experienced driver with poor psychological quality would not be able to drive at all. A novice would probably be scared and dare not move. It was indeed a bit dangerous.
I have heard before that the Huanglouwa Great Wall is the highest section in Beijing, with extremely harsh natural conditions. At the most exaggerated times, the wind speed can reach level 10. Many professional outdoor enthusiasts have failed in their challenges here.
And it's even more dangerous here at this season.
The entire section of the Great Wall is about eight kilometers long. If you want to reach the highest beacon tower, this section of the road is currently the best choice. Although it is not the closest, it is relatively easy to walk.
The key word is relative. With Da Meitao's two moves, it would take her half her life to walk one kilometer, let alone nearly three kilometers.
"Taozi, if you're not feeling well, I'll take you down the mountain to find a place to rest, and I'll go and challenge myself."
"No, absolutely not!" Yang Tao refused without even thinking about it.
"But you!!"
Yang Tao forced a smile, "The problem with the angle just now has been fixed, and now there is no problem, and we have two people to take care of each other!"
"Well, don't force yourself. Tell me immediately if you feel any discomfort!"
"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm not made of paper!"
Chen An stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "Come on, Miss Taozi, let's head for the beacon tower with the highest target together!!"
Yang Tao twitched the corners of her mouth, but still held Chen An's hand, and waved her fist in a somewhat childish way, "Come on, let's go!!!"
After walking only three or four hundred meters in half an hour, Da Meitao already felt as if her legs were filled with lead. Her whole body ached, especially her waist, which felt like it was about to break!
Even though she is a local resident of Beijing, this is her first time to visit this place. Compared with the Badaling Great Wall, this place is in ruins and full of traces of history.
Moreover, many places were only wide enough for one person to pass through, and with the heavy snow not long ago, if she hadn't been wearing professional shoes and had the protection of Mr. Chen, she wouldn't know how many times she would have slipped.
Looking at the towering mountains on both sides and the forest partially covered by snow, Yang Tao really wanted to go home and get into bed to have a good sleep!
"Peach, have some chocolate to replenish your energy."
"You should eat something too. You are more tired than me on this journey!"
Chen An took out a water bottle from his backpack, poured a glass of water for Yang Tao, and said with a smile, "Except for the Great Wall, many things here are like returning to childhood. It's a pity that there are not even tigers, black bears, or wolves here, otherwise it would be very cool!!"
"Bah! Bah! Bah! Don't talk nonsense, you little rascal. Although there are no large beasts here, small ones still exist. It will be very troublesome if you encounter one!"
"Don't you want to believe in your brother's ability to protect you?"
"I believe it, isn't it enough that I believe it? If you really can't believe it, just look at me more!"
"What do you mean? Do you have the potential to be a tigress?!"
Yang Tao punched Chen An and said angrily, "If you make me angry again, I will turn into a tigress and show you!!"
After resting for a few minutes, Chen An pointed to the distance and said, "How about it? Do you want to continue?"
Yang Tao fully understands the saying "a horse will die if it runs too fast". The distance does not seem very far, but considering his situation, he may not be able to make it in less than three hours!
"Little rascal, isn't it too late now? It will probably be dark by the time we get there."
Chen An was naturally surprised by this. At this time of year, it gets dark around 6pm. In a place like this, it gets dark at 5:30pm. There was only more than an hour left. They were destined to continue. The two of them might have to spend the night in the mountains.
He patted the backpack behind him and said, "Don't worry, the supplies I prepared are more complete than you think. It will be no problem even if we stay overnight. Of course, there is a high probability that we won't need them. I have a way!!"
Forty minutes later, the sky gradually darkened. Yang Tao, who was out of breath, shook his head and refused after hearing what Chen An said. He looked speechless and said, "No, absolutely not. It's hard to walk alone in this place. You carry me!!"
"But we've come this far, it would be a shame to give up now..."
"Actually I can still walk by myself, give me another piece of chocolate and I'll replenish it!!"
"No, here you go!"
Yang Tao chewed the chocolate fiercely, thinking about things in her head. She couldn't understand why Chen An had to choose to climb here, especially in this season, but her sixth sense told her that she absolutely couldn't give up like that. She didn't understand why, but decided to trust her feeling.
If Chen An knew how Yang Tao felt, he would definitely give her a thumbs up.
The reason why I chose to climb the Great Wall, plus the previous foreshadowing, is a total of two sets of strategies and means. There is no way, dear readers, you are always urging me to KO her, so naturally I have to be fully prepared.
So there are two plans in total. No matter whether she climbs or not, there is a routine waiting for her!
After resting for more than ten minutes, they set out again. However, less than ten minutes had passed when Yang Tao groaned. Their journey of climbing the Great Wall and sprinting to the beacon tower was unilaterally ended because Ms. Yang injured her ankle!
"Hahaha!!"
"Asshole, I'm in this state, and you can still laugh!!"
"Ms. Yang, champion of the mixed group, please share your feelings about your injury and your thoughts on this event!!"
Yang Tao was both angry and amused. She glared at Chen An and cursed, "I didn't publish a shit! It's all because of your bad mouth. You insisted on doing it behind my back. Now you have no choice but to do it behind my back!"
"It's no problem for me to carry you, but the backpack can only be left here. It's up to you to choose whether we should continue forward or retreat to rest. I'll make the decision!"
"I..." Yang Tao looked at the road she had come from and the lights in the distance. Her longing for the city and me urged her to go back and have a good sleep, but...
"Oh, that's not right!"
"What's wrong?" Chen An asked in confusion, trying not to laugh.
"I make the choices, you make the decisions, so what the hell am I choosing?"
"Men and women are equal now, I am just showing that and going through the motions!"
Yang Tao snorted angrily, "I'm in the middle of nowhere now, and I'm in such a bad state. I can only let you control me!"
"In that case, I'll give you two choices. Do you want me to hold you in my arms to block the wind, or do you want to lie on my back to block the wind from behind?"
After feeling the wind direction, Yang Tao really wanted Chen An to hold her so that this bad guy would have to block the wind for her. However, it was too dangerous here, and she needed to use her hands and feet at many places!
"Get down!"
"Come on, big girl!"
Lying on Chen An's back, Yang Tao saw him lift his legs and continue to walk upwards, so she quickly called him to stop, "Little rascal, why don't you hold the tent? If you get tired, we can find a place to rest temporarily!"
"No need. Trust my brother's ability. Sing a song to cheer him up. We'll try to get there within an hour and a half!!"
"Watch your step!"
"The music starts!!"
"Mom is the only good person in the world!"
"Snapped!"
Yang Tao grabbed Chen An's ear and asked, "Ah, why did you hit me?!"
"What are you singing? We are in a wild challenge. You can only sing as well as my mother!"
"I, I can't think of any other songs right now!!"
Chen An thought of an old song and smiled, "I'll give you a start! When the sun comes out I'll climb the hill! Sing!!"
Yang Tao rolled her eyes, but unfortunately she was looking at the back of Chen An's head, which was like throwing a wink to a blind man.
"I want to sing when I climb the hill! Sing for my sister..."
"Snapped!!"
"Asshole, if you hit me again, I will..."
"Sing it for your brother. Sing it again. Otherwise..."
Yang Tao's beautiful eyes turned and she smiled slyly, "Humph! Sing if you want to!!"
"When the sun comes out, I climb the hill. When I climb up the hill, I want to sing. I want to sing for the bastards..."
The wind was already strong on the mountain, and it became even worse at night. As the sun disappeared, Yang Tao, who had not felt cold at first, shivered a little. He lay on Chen An's back. The two of them were pressed tightly together and felt warm, but his back felt a little cold.
Chen An took out a life blanket from the small bag on his chest and wrapped the two of them together.
Isolated from the cold wind, Yang Tao felt warm all over. He shuddered and asked, "I remember you put all these in your bag. When did you bring them?"
"When it comes to outdoor fun, I'm no worse than the professionals. I just close my eyes and talk less, and I'll be there in no time!"
Yang Tao adjusted herself and grabbed the bag strap on Chen An’s chest with both hands. She couldn’t help feeling happy. She remembered that her father often carried her on his back like this when she was a child, and even rode on her neck!
I didn't know how much time had passed when I heard Chen An's voice calling me, "Taozi, Taozi!!"
Yang Tao opened his eyes dazedly and looked at the environment in front of him. He asked in a daze, "Well, where are we?"
"We're already there!" Chen An was speechless. How bold was this woman to be able to fall asleep in a place like this!
"Really?"
"Look for yourself!!"
As soon as he left the life-saving blanket, he was hit by the cold air all around and Yang Tao couldn't help shivering. The dilapidated city walls around him, coupled with the howling mountain wind outside, made him feel a little gloomy for some reason, and a chill rose from the bottom of his heart!
"Chen, Chen An, now that we're here, let's take a rest and then go back!"
"Would you like something to eat or some hot water?"
"Yeah." Yang Tao just agreed, then she became confused, "Where did you get the hot water? Isn't your water bottle in your backpack?"
"Many people exploring the desert are reluctant to throw away their own urine in order to survive. It can save lives at the critical moment!"
Yang Tao's eyes widened, "What do you mean, you want me to drink your urine!!!"
"You wish. I didn't drink much water during the whole journey. Where did the urine come from?"
Yang Tao couldn't help but feel embarrassed. The kettle wasn't very big, and he drank almost all of it. "Then where did you get the hot water?"
"Call me good brother and I'll buy you some hot coffee!"
Hearing this, Yang Tao fixed her eyes on the bag on Chen An's chest and curled her lips, "It's still hot coffee, it's good that it didn't freeze into ice!"
"Just tell me if you want to drink!"
"I want it. Show it to me!"
"Close your eyes, count to one, two, three, and call me brother!"
"If you can't get hot coffee, I'll settle the score with you!!" Yang Tao closed her eyes and said, "Should I start counting now?"
"Let's start!" Chen An turned his back and pretended to take something out of his bag, but he was actually taking it from the system space!
"One, two, three, good brother, I want coffee!!"
"Come on, dear sister, look at what this is?"
Yang Tao rubbed his eyes to make sure that he was not dazzled. There was actually a cup of hot coffee in front of him, and it was from a certain Buck!!!
"You, how did you do that?"
Chen An smiled and said, "Secret, drink it quickly to warm yourself up!!"
"Hmm!" He took the coffee and took a sip happily. It was actually a little hot to the mouth. Yang Tao was even more surprised. He thought it was at most 40 or 50 degrees, but after drinking it, he found that it was at least 60 degrees!
"You little rascal, drink a little to warm yourself up!"
Chen An took the cup and took a sip with a smirk on his face. Compared to taking a girl to see a horror movie, this was the most exciting thing.
"Taozi, I knew a friend before. He really likes all kinds of extreme challenges. He came here once, but he was almost scared to death!"
Yang Tao asked in surprise, "Ah? Is he in danger?"
"He came here to challenge someone because he made a bet with someone. So he took the plane to Beijing in the afternoon, and it was already evening when he got here. But it was summer at that time, so it got dark a little later, so he started the challenge that day!"
"Everything went very smoothly. When the challenge was completed, it was not yet completely dark. In order to leave evidence, he took photos and videos as souvenirs!"
"By the way, I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it. Should we take pictures too? We probably won't have the chance to come here again in the future!" Yang Tao said as he reached for his phone!
"No, just listen to what I have to say!"
Seeing Chen An's serious face, even looking around with a face full of vigilance, Yang Tao couldn't help but feel a little nervous, "What, what's wrong?"
"Taozi, many cultural relics and ruins do not allow photography, and there are special reasons for that!"
Yang Tao naturally knew this. After looking at the surrounding environment, she reacted immediately. Although she was a little scared, she was more delighted. This little gangster deliberately brought her to such a place and insisted on telling such a story. Isn't it just a little trick of men? See how I cooperate!
"Little, little rascal, let's go now, um, I..."
Seeing Yang Tao leaning towards him, Chen An hugged her and said jokingly, "You are so heavy. I have been carrying you for more than an hour. Why don't I rest for half an hour?"
"Well, then okay!!" Yang Tao looked hesitant, but she was laughing in her heart. How dare you try this on your sister?
"Let me continue to tell you, my friend originally planned to take a photo as a souvenir and fulfill the bet, but right after taking the photo, something weird happened!!"
"Stop, you, don't say anything, I, I'm scared!" Yang Tao hugged Chen An's arm, her voice trembling. She knew that he was deliberately trying to scare her, but in this environment, she still felt a little scared.
Chen An waved his hands nonchalantly, "What are you afraid of? It's just a false alarm. My friend is fine. You are such a coward, a Beijing girl. You are bringing shame to the people of the capital!"
"I'm not afraid, huh!"
"At that time, he heard faint voices behind him and thought he had met a like-minded friend. He turned around and saw no one. He listened carefully again and could still hear faint voices, but he couldn't make out what they were saying. He then started looking around!!"
"The result." Chen An suddenly raised his voice: "He found a lot of offerings, steamed buns, cakes, pig heads, and a lot of other things!!"
"Ah!!!!" Yang Tao exclaimed and hugged Chen An, because she had seen these things on the beacon tower they passed by before!
"Hey Hey!"
Hearing Chen An's laughter, Yang Tao punched him in anger, "You're going to die, telling such a story in a place like this!!"
"What are you afraid of? I'm here to protect you!"
Although I really want to continue cooperating, I can't keep pretending to be stupid. And even though I know it's made up, it's still a bit creepy!
"Bah, I think you just want to take advantage!"
Chen An took out his cell phone and said with a smile, "Let's take a picture!"
"It's better to say goodbye..."
"What are you afraid of? Although human sacrifices were made in many places when the Great Wall was built, and many people died here, I was just teasing you. You have to believe in science. We are good young people who believe in materialism!"
As he said that, Chen An took a photo.
"Smile!"
Yang Tao forced a smile!
Click, click!
After taking seven or eight photos in a row, Chen An looked down at the photos and muttered, "This one is not good. It's too ugly. Look at your expression."
“This one is good…”
Seeing herself looking a bit disheveled in the photo, Yang Tao wanted to strangle this guy to death. How could he have such a bad taste?
Suddenly, Yang Tao's whole body froze! ! She seemed to hear someone talking in her ear, but she couldn't hear what they were saying!
"Little, little rascal!"
"Ok?"
"Did you hear any voices outside?"
Chen An looked nonchalant, "You heard it wrong, I guess it was the wind!"
Yang Tao was a little confused. Could it be that he really heard it wrong?
But soon the voice came again, and this time it was a conversation between two people...
