Rebirth on the top of the mountain, my herding career

The next day.

Qin Xifeng got up early and went to the livestock pen to conduct health and environmental monitoring of the livestock. Then he also listened to the weather forecast.

The weather has been sunny recently, the wind is not strong, and the temperature and temperature are suitable. It is a rare good time of the year in Palpaha.

After breakfast, he led two yaks to the scientific expedition team's camp.

"Aunt Firuz, good morning!"

He came earlier, and Feruzi was helping the scientific expedition team make breakfast. She was a temporary external employee of the scientific expedition team, and her duty was to prepare three meals a day.

"Xifeng, it's early for you too. Have you had breakfast? Breakfast will be ready soon."

Taking into account the eating habits of the scientific expedition team members, Firuz made soup noodles for breakfast, which was very nutritious when paired with the leftover finger meat from last night.

"I've eaten, you can continue your work."

Qin Xifeng responded with a smile, and then began to make preparations.

He found Professor Li and asked him what he needed to bring so that he could put it on the back of the cow in advance to avoid wasting time.

"Xiao Qin, I will take you to find Xiao Ma. He is responsible for the logistics."

Professor Li was quite polite and personally took Qin Xifeng to the person in charge of logistics.

Xiao Ma is a young man in his twenties. There are not many items that he needs to carry up the mountain today. He has already sorted them out in advance.

Qin Xifeng took advantage of the scientific expedition team members to have breakfast and placed these items on the back of the cattle and tied them firmly.

"Xifeng, I'm going to have to work hard for you today."

Tang Wannian showed up after breakfast. He said a few polite words to Qin Xifeng, and then the group of seven people headed towards Xionggou.

Since the yaks were carrying some equipment on their backs, the road was too steep to walk on, so Qin Xifeng took them for a short distance, winding up the ridge from the west.

The team members who went up the mountain on the first day included Professor Li and his students Xia Jie, Tang Wannian, Yamamoto Ichiro and others.

Qin Xifeng noticed that Yamamoto Ichiro could speak Mandarin. Although the pronunciation sounded a bit weird, there was no problem in simple communication.

Along the way, Yamamoto Ichiro was the most curious and talked the most.

"Just right here."

Three hours later, Tang Wannian and Professor Li discussed it and stopped at a gentle slope of the glacier.

This is a relatively flat glacier, its size can only be considered medium, but it has been well preserved after many vicissitudes of life.

Professor Li is the leader of the scientific expedition team, but Tang Wannian's opinions are taken seriously. As a joint third party, Yamamoto Ichiro basically has little say.

After choosing a location, Qin Xifeng began to unload the supplies.

He doesn't know much about glacier scientific research, but he does know one thing, that is, the key to scientific research activities is to drill ice cores.

Ice cores at different depths can reflect geological changes of different ages and contain a wealth of information.

"Xia Jie, go help Xiao Qin set up the tent."

Professor Li and Tang Wannian quickly selected the drilling site, and Qin Xifeng began to build the tent. Drilling the ice core will be completed in the tent, so the tent is not small.

Professor Li asked his students to help Qin Xifeng, and the others began to prepare various equipment and materials. Only Yamamoto Ichiro was the most leisurely.

Xia Jie is not that old. She wears a pair of glasses and looks pretty good, but her skin is a little darker. This may be because she works in the field all year round.

"Are you really a local herdsman?"

Xia Jie is very efficient at work, but she is not very good at chatting.

"Why, it doesn't look like it? I was born and raised in Parpaha. I finished high school in the county. Can I speak Mandarin okay?"

Qin Xifeng actually knew what the other party wanted to ask, but he didn't want to talk about this aspect, so he changed the subject with a smile.

"Your Mandarin is better than mine..."

Xia Jie is from Jiangnan, and her Mandarin is indeed not very standard. But she finally opened up the topic and avoided the awkward conversation.

The two talked and quickly set up the tent.

Afterwards, Professor Li and others walked in one after another, and brought in various equipment and materials. Qin Xifeng didn't like being crowded here, so he turned around and walked outside.

He couldn't help with the rest of the work, so he might as well come out and get some air.

At this time, Yamamoto Ichiro was standing a little far away from the tent, looking into the distance. He also had a camera hanging around his neck, and he would take a few photos from time to time.

Qin Xifeng was annoyed by this person all the way, and now he was too lazy to talk to him, so he walked to the other side to rest.

It was already above the snow line, but Qin Xifeng would not feel any discomfort.

To be honest, the physical fitness of the scientific expedition team members is much better than that of Song Yujia and others. Probably due to the nature of the work, no one has taken the initiative to ask for oxygen at this time.

This also includes Yamamoto Ichiro.

"Xiao Qin, can I go for a walk over there?"

Qin Xifeng rested for a while, and Yamamoto Ichiro came over. The other person pointed to the high slope in the distance and expressed that he wanted to go up and have a look.

"Okay, I have nothing to do anyway, so I'll go with you. By the way, why aren't your two companions here today?"

Yamamoto Ichiro's request was not excessive. Qin Xifeng nodded and took the initiative to assume the role of guide regardless of whether the other party was willing or not.

"Thank you, Mr. Qin. My companions are a little uncomfortable. I think they may need to get used to it. Maybe they will go up the mountain tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

Yamamoto Ichiro bowed slightly to Qin Xifeng, his courtesy on the surface was impeccable.

Qin Xifeng didn't talk nonsense, and then took long strides towards the high slope in the distance.

Yamamoto Ichiro followed closely. Not to mention, the opponent's physical strength was really good. Although his breathing was a little short, he was able to keep up from beginning to end.

“What a vast country with magnificent scenery!”

Yamamoto Ichiro took a lot of photos on the high slope, and he kept admiring them while taking them.

Qin Xifeng remained silent as he didn't really like the other person's envious or greedy eyes.

But these have nothing to do with him. As long as the other party doesn't do anything extraordinary, then he is just a bystander.

noon.

Qin Xifeng ate dry naan with everyone, but there were hot drinks, and the milk tea he brought was very heart-warming after being heated.

In the evening, Qin Xifeng led a group of people back to the camp.

Tang Wannian wanted to stay with Qin Xifeng for dinner at the camp, but he politely refused.

Qin Xifeng then led the yaks back to his own corral, fed them fodder and added nutritional powder, and then went home to eat.

"Huh? Mom and dad are not here?"

It was dinner time. What surprised Qin Xifeng was that Mr. Atik and his wife were not in the yurt, and they had not prepared dinner.

He had no choice but to return to his yurt and prepare to get some food.

"Xifeng, are you back? Go and have a rest quickly. Let's eat noodles with shredded potatoes in the evening."

Before Qin Xifeng reached the door of his house, he saw Gulidan cooking outside the yurt.

What she is making tonight is mutton and shredded potato noodles, which will be ready to eat soon.
