My travels can open treasure chests

Chapter 178 Glacier
Kerry watched the driver busy outside, turned around and saw Han Qi's solemn face, and asked with a hearty smile, "Nervous?"

"More or less."

Han Qi didn't hide it, he was really nervous.The closer you get to Beiwu, the more you can understand his danger.

Although it is only [-] kilometers, but every few kilometers on this road, every time the altitude rises, it will get colder.The driving speed must also be slow. Because there are few people passing by, this road has been buried by heavy snow all year round. Only Jeff, who has a good car and a good sense of the road, can reach Beiwu safely. .

And... Han Qi didn't understand what Jeff was doing outside right now.

When people encounter things that they don't understand, it is inevitable that they will feel anxious.It was Kerry who saw the solemn atmosphere and looked for a topic to chat, which happened to be about Jeff's actions at the moment.

"Do you know what he's doing?" Kerry asked.

Han Qi shook his head.

"This is offering sacrifices to the river."

"Finland also has this tradition?"

Han Qi always thought that only in China could there be such activities as worshiping so-and-so, and all people believed in God when they went abroad. He never expected to see the phenomenon of worshiping the river god in Finland, which is so far away from the motherland.

Since you want to worship the river god, you must cross the river.

What is the name of this river in Finland? Han Qi saw it a few days ago, but has forgotten it now.All I can think about is... are we going to drive over here?Won't the car sink?
When Jeff came back, Han Qi asked him.

"Can cars drive on this river?"

Jeff replied with certainty: "Of course."

He stepped on the accelerator directly, and the car walked slowly towards the ice.

He didn't turn off the engine when he got out of the car, which is a habit he has always maintained.If you drive on this road, if you turn off the engine, many of the equipment in the car will be frostbitten, and you will not be able to drive. If you encounter this kind of thing in the middle of the drive, it will be called "everyday should not be called the ground".

As the vehicle drove, Jeff's face was obviously much more relaxed.

As long as parking is dangerous, this is what he firmly believes.

He continued to say to Han Qi: "This river freezes every year in October and thaws in May and June. In this season, the river water is at least ten meters thick. Don't even drive a car like mine. Some large trucks dare to walk on this kind of ice."

ten meters?

Han Qi was surprised by the thickness of the ice surface, and also by the temperature here.

A villa can be built within ten meters, how cold it is.

When the car drove on the ice, the feeling of sitting in the back seat was no different from that on land. Most places on the ice were completely frozen, and in a few places, fluffy snow could be seen on the ice. This river has More than 200 meters wide, but Jeff is not in a hurry to cross the river now.

Instead, continue to drive on the ice, walking all the way up the river.

The location of the North House looks like a big snow mountain from a distance, no wonder the temperature is so low, after all, it is extremely cold at high places.

In high latitude areas, increase the altitude.

The surrounding countries also completely block the sea breeze, and it is impossible for an area like Beiwu, which is occupied by all unfavorable conditions, not to be cold.

However, Han Qi is still very empty in his heart. Walking in this barren land, the whole journey is unknown, and everything is unpredictable.From the moment the vehicle drove into the river, Han Qi felt as if all the modern things had gone away from him.

Han Qi squeezed the phone hard to feel its existence.

The car is not boring, Jeff is good at telling stories, and Kerry is also very talkative. The two of them lost track of time when they were chatting. It also allowed Han Qi to have a deeper understanding of Northern Europe, and heard a lot of local stories, as well as The way things are.

The reason why Jeff took the river instead of the road was because the road on the shore was far more dangerous than the river.

It has been snowing for several months in a row. Some places have melted, some places have not. It looks like a cotton harvest when it gathers on the ground. It is beautiful but dangerous.

On urban roads and many commonly used roads, there will be special people clearing snow when heavy snow arrives.

But this road leading to the North House, there are not many cars coming all year round, so how could people come to clear the snow?

So now when driving on the highway, you can’t see the road at all, and it’s easy to overturn or turn off the engine, and Jeff is most afraid of turning off the engine, so every time he drives, he walks along the river and finishes the most dangerous section of the road. Drive to shore.

Beiwu is indeed well-known, but winter swimming is a very rigorous sport. If you can do it, you can do it. If you can’t do it, you must waste money and time, and it will easily kill you.Coupled with this dangerous road, there are fewer and fewer people who dare to come.

The speed of the car was very slow, most of the time the yardage meter did not reach 25, and the scenery outside the window seemed to be a turtle moving.

But it must be much faster than running by myself.

Jeff didn't dare to drive too fast, and Han Qi and Kerry didn't urge him either.Anyway, as long as you can finally reach the North House, it doesn't matter if you drive for a day or two.After waiting for Sarah for a week, I don’t care about this day or two, anyway, it’s still early before the end of April.

Kerry and Jeff chatted a lot, and the topics gradually became less and less. Kerry and Han Qi planned the itinerary of this winter swimming together.

The first plan I made was the accommodation situation in the town.

The two had just talked about this topic, and Jeff said directly: "You can live in my house. I used to have a few brothers and sisters, but now they are all making money outside, and they rarely get together at home, so there are just a few empty houses. Just pack up and live in."

"Is there no hotel?" Han Qi asked.

Jeff smiled and said: "Don't think too much about Beiwu. There is Sarah in the front and the snowy mountains in the back. Who would go there if there is nothing to do? Only you people who like winter swimming go to a group every year. , with such a floating population, wouldn’t it be a death penalty for building a hotel?”

Indeed, it is not a good idea to build a hotel in this place where there is no village and no shops.

Then stay at Jeff's house.

After finalizing the place to live, it's winter swimming.

Kerry, as a veteran player who came twice, made the following formation according to his previous two visits.

On the first day, experience life and adapt to the environment.

On the second day, experience life and adapt to the environment.

On the third day, undress to experience the temperature and cold water.

On the fourth day, winter swimming.

Experiencing life is by no means the travel that Han Qi imagined, but a way to get used to and adapt to the environment. When Kerry came here last year, he went to the frozen river with the locals to fetch ice. One time, a family of Beiwu residents could use it for three days. .

Han Qi thought about it, and felt that scholars and locals should live a good life.

So if I had to choose, what activities would I do?I heard that Jeff's family has a cow, why don't I take the cow out to graze?

No, no, where is there grass in this kind of place?

Just as Han Qi was wandering in the sky, his nose smelled a disgusting smell.

It is the kind of foul-smelling gas produced by burning plastic.
