Wu Shaoqi heheed happily twice, not in a daze.

"I didn't realize that you have dimples when you smile." This kid put away the thorns all over his body, and he was not difficult to get along with. An Gefeng remembered the soft hair that ran through his fingers last night, and smiled: "You should smile more, It will attract girls very much.”

Wu Shaoqi was acupunctured for the second time in one morning. He opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything. The oxygen concentration in the car dropped rapidly.

"Are you really motion sick?" Angefon saw that he was tugging at his neckband, and accelerated the car to turn into the parking lot and park it: "Here we are, just get out of the car and take a breath of fresh air."

Needless to say, Wu Shaoqi couldn't wait to open the car door, and took a big breath of the early morning air with the smell of grass and earth. The temperature was low, just to cool down his hot face.

"Morning!" Shi Ping was pushing the cart out of the gymnasium, and waved to An Gefeng, which was full of the equipment to be used today, and the wheels rattled on the pebbles to break the tranquility: "Huh? you together?"

An Gefeng stepped forward to give him a hand, supporting a pile of tall and precarious equipment. Wu Shaoqi directly picked up some heavy objects, such as ropes, and carried them on his shoulders to reduce the weight of the cart.The three cast long shadows in the morning light, like diligent farmers who get up early.

"Wu Shao's house is far away. It was late yesterday to help me organize my things, and the meeting time is early today. I asked him to make do with my place for the night." An Gefeng only explained when the things were pushed to the side of the box car.

"Oh," Shi Ping rolled his eyes and stopped when Wu Shaoqi put it on: "You matched him with this outfit? Not bad, it looks good."

The clothes are also praised as beautiful, but Shi Ping's compliments are not as pleasing to the ear as An Gefeng's. His tone is like the parent next door praising his ten-year-old child. Wu Shaoqi is a little unconvinced, with a cool look on his face. The expressions are not in tune.

"I can pick clothes, but I can't pick people." Angefon tangles with Shi Ping while moving things into the trunk.

"How do you talk, you can pick the mountaineering club without any discernment?" It was still early, and the other team members hadn't arrived yet. Shi Ping didn't need to put on the airs of the coach, and used the tone that he usually talked to Ang Feng, talking about what belonged to the two of them. One, a memory that no one else can know: "Seriously, does this weather and sunshine remind you of the time when you climbed rocks in Joshua Tree National Park? Hey, I really miss it. I really want to find a time to go there again."

Shi Ping simply sat down on the frame of the trunk, crossed his arms and looked up at An Gefeng carrying things, blatantly lazy, with a bit of pampering and coquettish laziness in his smile.

So childish.

Wu Shaoqi couldn't get into the topic, and couldn't get into the relationship between them.

The sun was shining brightly all over the place, but he felt it was too dazzling.

The author has something to say: Because my friends have made some suggestions for my article, I may revise the article in the past few days. If there is no update on Monday, I will update it on Tuesday.

No.: CH21

It’s not without reason to start so early. It takes nearly two hours to drive from the urban area to the rock-climbing mountainous area in the suburbs. Wu Shaoqi fell asleep after a few bumps in the car. When he woke up, the scenery outside the window changed from high-rise iron cages to lush trees. , Autumn is dotted with red maple and yellow leaves in the mountains and forests. The sky is high and the clouds are clear, which is too beautiful to behold.

"We'll be there in about 10 minutes, and then we'll have to walk for half an hour to reach the place we're going to climb today," Shi Ping put his hands on the steering wheel, and woke up a group of cubs who hadn't opened their eyes from the rearview mirror: "Later, every day Everyone has to carry some public food, and bring all the warm clothes." He turned his head and glanced at Angefeng, meaning "Do you have anything to add?" Angefeng shook his head, and then he continued: "That's it for now, everyone get ready."

The ten-seater car has three rows of seats. Wu Shaoqi sits behind the driver's seat, leaning lazily against the door. The angle is just right to look at Ang Feng who is sitting in the passenger seat. This person seems to wear simple and high-end clothes , the iron-gray long-sleeved sweater I’m wearing today is only equipped with bright green lines on the zipper and chest pockets. The color is low-key and simple. , The pectoral muscles and waistline are perfectly presented under the soft fabric.

Wu Shaoqi glanced a few times, and then a few more times before looking away.

"I'll distribute the food later. You can have breakfast first." An Gefeng took out the food box from the bag on his lap, and said to Shi Ping, "It's originally hot, but it doesn't taste so good when it's cold. Just a moment."

"What's the matter? If I'm really hungry, I can even eat ice." Shi Ping put one hand on the steering wheel and waved the other indifferently: "You remember a time when the lighter ran out of gas after hiking in the mountains for five days. Dry chewing instant noodles with cold water."

"Whose fault is that? Did I say that you have to bring at least two lighters?" Angefon pursed his lips in disgust, while Shi Ping laughed heartily. It was the kind of laugh that won't get angry when you see the other party. way of laughing.

These two people must be very good friends, Wu Shaoqi suddenly felt that this conclusion was obvious, there was no need to ask, it was obvious with eyes.

Very good, very good... how good is it?

An Gefeng will help Coach Shi make breakfast,

Coach Shi's car was driven by An Gefeng,

Angfeng said that Coach Shi asked him to train the rock climbing team.

Wu Shaoqi narrowed his eyes, feeling bored for no reason, he turned his head and opened the car window a little to let some air in.

"Okay, let's get out of the car." Shi Ping pulled up the handbrake and announced loudly. Everyone got out of the car and stretched their waists and turned their necks first. Shi Ping stayed on the seat and had breakfast. The quickdraw, first aid kit, rock helmet, rock shoes, rice balls for Chinese food, and drinking water are all moved down, and the weight is distributed. Everyone has to take a share. The heaviest is the rope, a 70-meter rope It must weigh six kilograms. Angefon's big backpack is 60 liters, and he is planning to stuff both ropes into it and carry it on his own.

"Give me one, and I can still carry it." Wu Shaoqi carried a five-liter bottle of mineral water and touched Angfeng, who was squatting on the ground and stuffing the rope into his backpack, with his knee.

"The bottle of water you carry is heavy enough." Angefon looked up, and continued to move his hands. After putting all the ropes in, he fastened the straps: "I'll just carry this on my back."

Wu Shaoqi stopped talking nonsense, put the water bottle on the ground, picked up the backpack and threw it over his shoulder with his backhand: "You carry the water bottle."

"..." An Gefeng couldn't tell whether his behavior was out of good intentions or trying to sing against him for a while, Wu Shaoqi, who was stupefied, had already gone to chat with Yang Dongyu.

Children of this age are too unpredictable, cloudy and occasional showers when it is sunny.

"All divided?" Shi Ping came over: "Then get ready to go!"

After the team was led by Shi Ping and Ange Feng, the gentle mountain path was covered with two-leaf pine, and it was as soft and comfortable as stepping on a fluffy carpet when stepping on it. The leaf tips are scattered on the shoulders, walking among the trees and flowers, the whole body can be purified.

On the way, I passed several large walls with different shapes. Some walls are not high but very steep, and some are as high as 30 meters. There are big holes and platforms in the middle. Many outdoor rock climbers have been climbing on the walls along the way. The atmosphere of rock climbing is completely different from that of an artificial rock field. There is no sense of "doing homework" in training skills, and there is an extra sense of freedom and fearlessness. When rock climbing is no longer about competition results, only pair climbing Simply love climbing, right?

They passed a tall and smooth stone wall. The smooth surface of the wall has a dark iron-copper luster. If it is an ordinary tourist, it may feel vast and beautiful, but in the eyes of rock climbers, this flat and smooth stone surface means that there is no manipulation. Point, it must be very difficult to climb up.

"This area is called Finger Purgatory. You can tell from the name that it is not easy to mess with. The difficulty of the route is above 7c. The size of the hand is basically no more than one knuckle. The route is long and tests the climber's finger strength endurance and sense of balance. "Shi Ping said, looking at the guidebook in his hand.

The developed outdoor rock field has various routes with different difficulties just like the artificial rock field. Where the route starts and ends will be written in the road book. In the book, the wall of the outdoor rock field will be photographed and marked on it Out of the route and difficulty, first-time climbers like them can choose a route that suits their difficulty with a road book.

The more difficult the block, the fewer people are climbing. There is only one group of people watching the route under this big wall. Two men and one woman, with long hands, long legs, tall and thin, seem to be quite young.One of them squinted here, and met Wu Shaoqi's eyes, both of them were taken aback.

"You are…"

"you…"

"I remember your surname is Wu..." The other party scratched his head, his deep eyes were slightly bent shyly: "We played together last time."

"You are Shan En, right?" Wu Shaoqi was deeply impressed by this Chinese-French mixed race: "Introduce myself again, my name is Wu Shaoqi."

"Wu Shaoqi, I remember." Sean smiled sincerely, pointed to the foreigner standing a little far away and said, "That is my coach, Alex." The foreigner nodded to them, and Sean again He put his hand on the shoulder of the girl beside him and said, "This is my sister Shang Xi, she is also a rock climber."

The girl is more foreign than her brother in the proportion of mixed blood, with delicate facial features like a doll, long dark brown silk-like hair combed into a pretty ponytail, beautiful layered double eyelids, and a smile that makes people unable to move their eyes away magic.

"I remember you, I was there last time." Shang Xi looked at Wu Shaoqi calmly and generously, grinning: "You dance very smoothly and handsomely, which impresses me deeply."

This remark successfully caused a group of young boys to yell, and Shang Xi pretended not to care about it, but Wu Shaoqi was very embarrassed. He is a man with a lustful heart but no guts. Stumbled and changed the subject: "Uh...you guys also climb the outdoor rock field?"

"Of course, there are several classic routes in this area." Sean looked back at the big rock wall and shrugged. "I hope I can close the routes before the weather is too cold to climb."

Wu Shaoqi didn't know what the so-called "remove the route" meant, so he nodded and said, "Good luck."

He really wanted to stay in this area and watch Shane climb the route, but Shi Ping was already yelling at the front: "Hurry up, we are almost at the area we are going to climb today."

Wu Shaoqi waved goodbye to them, and after walking for less than 5 minutes, Shi Ping finally announced: "Okay, everyone put your things down, we will stay here today."

In front of them was a stone wall with a width of about 30 meters. It was cold and tall with a cold light. It was a little shorter than the area where Shang En lived just now, but it was still more than [-] meters long. The space in front of the wall was quite large enough for them to lay several A cushion, sit on the ground.

It was much colder on the mountain than on the flat ground, but after getting off the car and walking for a while, my limbs and body felt warm.Angefon said: "The colder the weather, the more adequate the warm-up must be done so as not to get injured."

Everyone is already familiar with the warm-up process, but doing it among the blue sky and green trees feels indescribably refreshing. The pure oxygen with plant juices fills the heart and lungs. There is still a large natural stone wall in front of you. same effect.

After warming up and putting on the equipment, Shi Ping moved the rope under the big wall and said, "Wait a minute for the coach to set up the rope. I'll make sure. By the way, I'll explain to you what you need to pay attention to outdoors."

Outdoors, unlike the artificial rock field, there is a rope hanging on the top. The first climber must set up the rope. The climber needs to bring a quickdraw and a rope. Go into the fixed point (bolt) nailed on the stone wall, and then buckle the rope, just like buckling the button from the bottom when wearing a shirt, buckle the rope into the hoop in sequence until the top fixed point.

The danger of setting up the rope is that in order not to affect the climber’s climbing, the ensurer will not tighten the rope. Therefore, if the climber climbs beyond the fixed point below and falls before reaching the fixed point above, the ensurer pulls the rope Immediately before, there must be a period of free fall. The stone is not an artificial flat wall. It is convex, concave, sharp and blunt.

"So the surety must focus on the climber, and be careful when retrieving the rope. If the rope is too much, it will be dangerous to fall, and if the rope is too little, it will affect his climbing. The surety must control it properly." Shi Ping said.

"Ready to climb." Angefon touched the chalk bag.

Shi Ping reconfirmed that his knots and belays were normal: "Make sure it's done, please climb."

It started, and Wu Shaoqi's heart beat faster.

nerve!It's not that I'm crawling, I'm so excited!He let out a long breath and took a good look at the climber on the wall.

Angefon's climbing style is...very...deliberate?But calmly and with the sharpness of a sharp edge.

Every step he crawls seems to be useless, and the rhythm seems lazy. Most of the time, he grasps the point and straightens his arms, lowers his center of gravity and squats there, raises his eyes to see where the next hand and foot will be, and what to do. How to catch the move, once the goal is decided, the shot is fast and accurate, the calculation is particularly accurate, and he will never spend more than [-]% of the points that can be caught with [-]% strength.

Like a lion walking or sitting or lying on the prairie, it is usually no different from a big cat, but as soon as the prey comes into sight, it is imperative to move swiftly like an arrow.

In the last competition, he felt that Shane's climbing style was already elegant, but Angfeng was on a higher level. Rock climbing always gave people the impression of a macho with exposed muscles and veins, but he climbed like he was on a wall. Dancing ballet on tiptoe, his toes are very delicate on the points, his body swings full of rhythm, his jumps are extremely light, his body swings out in the air, draws a perfect arc, and then returns to the wall exactly.

So beautiful…

Wu Shaoqi felt that it was inappropriate to use the word "beauty" to describe it, but he couldn't find a more suitable one in his poor vocabulary.

The route was not difficult. Angefon finished one first, and started to set up another one as soon as he landed. After he was finished, he didn't see him panting or sweating, only his face was slightly rosy.

"Climbing the natural rock is so cool!" An Gefeng sighed from the bottom of his heart.

"Of course," Shi Ping agreed with a smile, and looked at the team members: "The ropes are all set up, you guys are ready to start climbing."

Sure enough, climbing a natural rock field is completely different from an artificial rock field. Wu Shaoqi was lost as soon as he climbed the wall. The rock points of the artificial rock field are clear, and there are restrictions on where to step and grab. But if you can step on the natural rock field, where can you You can step on anything, as long as you grasp it firmly, you can grasp it anywhere.He is like a city man who is used to walking on asphalt roads, and he is put on the endless grassland. The most difficult thing is not to limit where to go. He knows the goal, but he doesn't know how to start.

In the last competition, it took him an average of 5 minutes to complete a route. This route was not difficult, and it took him more than ten minutes to climb it.

The other team members were also not used to it. They climbed up the wall two or three times in turn before they found some feeling.

"That's why I said that you must come outdoors to train your sense of rock," Shi Ping said, "use your body to feel where it's best to step on, and use your fingertips to find out what kind of point you can grasp." He looked at the watch: "Okay , let’s put the meal away, it’s almost two o’clock. After eating, we’ll have to climb another one or two and we’ll call it a day. It’s getting dark early in this season.”

Wu Shaoqi borrowed a road book from Shi Ping, sat cross-legged on the mat, and read while biting a rice ball. There are actually hundreds of routes in this mountainous area, and each route has a name, and there are a few simple words to describe its style or difficulty.

Climbing the natural rock field is so exciting!Groping on the stone wall full of unknowns, there is a natural breeze blowing the sweaty hair tips, and you can feel the coldness and sharpness of the stone with your fingers, which is very charming.

"Which way do you want to climb this afternoon?" Angefon watched him study the road book, but bent down from behind him and asked casually.

Wu Shaoqi is looking at the routes in this area. Most of them are not difficult, but there is a good route that was selected as three stars by the editor because of its rich climbing movements.

"This one seems to be pretty good." Wu Shaoqi said.

Angefon took a closer look and said: "
