Abstinence Pei, don't be too sweet when chasing your wife
Chapter 444: Icefall Aurora Journey
The aurora outside the glass house gradually faded away. Gu Fanxing curled up in Pei Luonan's arms and fell asleep listening to his steady heartbeat.
As the morning light began to break, Olaf brought a basket of warm rye bread with fresh cloudberry jam. "The next stop, the aurora, is hidden at the junction of the glacier and the waterfall. We must get up early and travel there."
There was also a hand-drawn map in the bread basket. It showed a cartoon aurora elf wearing sunglasses, with crooked words written next to it: "Follow the roar of the waterfall!" It was obviously written in the old man's childish handwriting.
Pei Luonan had already arranged the itinerary. This time they were going to Dettifoss, the waterfall with the largest drop and the strongest water flow in Europe.
The car navigation system showed that the route would pass through a vast ice field and a dangerous road.
Gu Fanxing looked at the tundra outside the window and suddenly remembered the thrill of last night. She turned to look at Pei Luonan who was driving. His bandaged hands held the steering wheel firmly, and the morning light cast a golden edge on his profile.
The car drove into the heart of the ice field. The glacier in the distance looked like a sleeping dragon, glowing with a faint blue light in the sunlight.
Pei Luonan suddenly stopped the car and pointed to the horizon: "Look, ice halo!"
A huge rainbow-like halo surrounds the sun, and the colorful halo is dreamy under the refraction of ice crystals.
Gu Fanxing couldn't wait to jump out of the car, but almost slipped on the icy ground. Pei Luonan quickly put his arm around her waist.
"Be careful, the ice here is slippery than glass."
He said as he took out two pairs of crampons from the trunk, "I'm well prepared."
Continuing on, they came to an ancient ice cave.
Olaf walked in front with a headlamp, "This ice cave was formed by a volcanic eruption three hundred years ago, and the icicles inside can sing." The cave was freezing cold. Gu Fanxing wrapped himself tightly in his down jacket, but was so shocked by the scene before him that he was speechless.
The blue-purple icicles stood like a crystal forest. When Pei Luonan gently tapped one of them, the ethereal echo lingered in the cave for a long time, as if it was a call from ancient times.
Gu Fanxing had a sudden idea and took out her cell phone to play Icelandic folk songs. The singing resonated with the icicles, forming a wonderful harmony.
Even more interesting is that she found that by clapping at different rhythms, the resonant frequency of the icicles would also change.
The two played "Icicle Symphony" in the ice cave like children. Gu Fanxing clapped his hands to beat the rhythm, Pei Luonan hit the icicles, and Olaf played ancient Icelandic tunes on the harmonica he carried with him.
The wonderful melody and laughter in the ice cave startled the snowy owl perched at the entrance.
While playing, Pei Luonan accidentally knocked over a piece of ice stone, which rolled and made a crisp sound, forming a series of echoes in the cave.
Gu Fanxing was inspired and proposed to use these natural ice stones to "compose music".
The three began to search for various ice stones in the ice cave.
They arranged the ice stones like building blocks, creating impromptu "ice music". Olaf excitedly named this music "Glacier Rhapsody".
When Pei Luonan tried to use ice stones to knock out Gu Fanxing's favorite folk song melody, the ice spikes on the cave ceiling actually dropped tiny ice beads due to resonance, which looked like a diamond rain under the headlight.
As evening approached, the roar of Dettifoss could be faintly heard.
Gu Fanxing looked out the car window and saw the waterfall cascading down from the cliff, the splashing water mist turning into colorful neon in the sunset.
The campsite that Pei Luonan booked was on the high ground next to the waterfall. The tent was a transparent dome type, so he could look up at the stars while lying in bed.
There is a surprise hidden in the tent - the temperature-controlled sleeping bag automatically adjusts the warm temperature.
Outside the tent, Pei Luonan also used stones to form the words "GFX+PLN", which was particularly conspicuous in the twilight.
He pulled Gu Fanxing mysteriously to the small hill behind the tent. It turned out that he had asked people to set up a circle of solar lights here in advance. When the lights were on, they formed a mini galaxy, echoing the glacier in the distance.
"The aurora forecast for tonight is level five," Pei Luonan unfolded the map and pointed to the location downstream of the waterfall. "We're going there. When the aurora meets the waterfall, it will produce an incredible sight."
As he spoke, he took out two portable heating pads and a set of professional cold-proof protective gear from his backpack. "I can't let you get cold again this time."
Before leaving, Gu Fanxing secretly stuffed a pack of hot packs into his pocket with a note on it: "To the brave knight."
Pei Luonan quietly hung a small aurora-shaped pendant on her backpack.
As night falls, the waterfall glows silver in the moonlight, and the mist brings a biting chill to your face.
Gu Fanxing wore the windproof mask prepared by Pei Luonan, leaving only her eyes exposed.
Suddenly, a green streak of light streaked across the sky, and then a large expanse of aurora unfolded like a curtain, reflecting the white waves of the waterfall.
What’s even more magical is that the mist splashed by the waterfall forms flowing light and shadows under the reflection of the aurora, as if thousands of glowing fish are swimming in the water.
"Hurry!" Pei Luonan pulled Gu Fanxing to the observation deck beside the waterfall. The view here was just right to see the perfect fusion of the aurora and the waterfall.
He set up a tripod and adjusted the special long exposure parameters. "In this kind of scene, ordinary shooting can't show its beauty at all." Gu Fanxing looked at his focused profile and suddenly found a thin layer of frost on the lens.
She suddenly had an idea and took out her lipstick to apply on the lens - this is a trick that the archaeological team uses to prevent the lens from fogging up during field work.
Just as they were immersed in the beautiful scenery, the aurora in the sky suddenly began to change dramatically, with green, purple and pink intertwined to form a huge vortex of light.
The roar of the waterfall mixed with the buzzing of the aurora, as if the whole world was shaking.
Gu Fanxing excitedly grabbed Pei Luonan's arm, but found that he was using his body to block the splashing ice water for her, and his back was already soaked.
However, an accident suddenly occurred.
A strong wind blew and blew Gu Fanxing's scarf towards the waterfall.
She subconsciously reached out to grab it, but her foot slipped and she almost fell off the observation deck.
At the critical moment, Pei Luonan hugged her and they both fell heavily to the ground.
Pei Luonan protected her under his body, and the back of his head hit the rock heavily, but he still hugged her tightly: "It's okay, it's okay..."
When they returned to the tent, Pei Luonan had a big swelling on the back of his head. Gu Fanxing used an ice pack to cool him down with concern.
"Don't take such risks next time." She said with red eyes.
Pei Luonan smiled and held her hand.
“You know what? When the aurora and the waterfall light up your eyes at the same time, it suddenly feels like all the adventures are worth it.”
As he spoke, he took out a camera with secretly taken photos in it - the moment when Gu Fanxing stood on tiptoe to touch the projection of the aurora, the ends of her hair seemed to be dotted with stars.
As the night deepened, the aurora continued to dance slowly across the sky, and the roar of the waterfall gradually turned into a gentle lullaby.
Gu Fanxing lay in Pei Luonan's arms, looking at the starry sky and the aurora outside the dome, and suddenly felt that the most beautiful scenery in the world is not the wonders of nature, but the people around you who are willing to accompany you across mountains and seas and share every unknown romance.
Outside the tent, tiny ice flowers began to float in the air. Under the illumination of the aurora, they looked like stardust scattered on earth.
The next morning, they woke up to the dawn light of the waterfall.
Although Pei Luonan still felt a dull pain at the back of his head, he still insisted on preparing breakfast for Gu Fanxing.
The bacon sizzled in the frying pan, mixed with the steam, and the air was filled with the warm smell of cooking.
In the distance, the new aurora was looming in the morning glow, as if inviting them to continue on the next unknown journey.
In the tent, the photos of the aurora taken by the two last night were automatically printed into postcards, one of which was quietly stuffed into Pei Luonan's backpack - it was a photo of them in front of the icefall, and behind them, the aurora and the waterfall together wrote the most moving poem.
