After the party, everyone separated.
However, the matter did not end there.
A reporter who came to the base camp of K2 with a British mountaineering team found the Yitaili man that night.
"I'm Qiao Rui, a reporter from the BBC. Can you authorize me to use the video shot on the mountain?"
The reporter expressed his intention to the Yitaili people, and soon got a copy of the video.
At the same time, he also interviewed the doctors who had examined John's body and learned all the details of the whole thing.
"Do you think he would be unwilling to give up at the final stage of the summit push?"
"I heard that he and John are just friends, right?"
"It took them only one day and one night to retreat to the base camp. Is this considered fast?"
…
The reporter asked many questions, all of which were answered by the Yitaili people.
He also accidentally found out about Chen Mu's performance in the push-up competition that day, and he knew that Chen Mu's physical fitness was very good.
After collecting all the information, the reporter quickly wrote a report, along with some videos and photos, and sent it back to their bbc headquarters.
He didn't know how the headquarters would deal with it, but as a reporter, he had to record what he saw and heard and send it out.
Another day later, Zhang Jiahui and the others retreated back.
Their descending speed is very slow. For safety, they basically come from camp to camp, and the time to go up is about the same as the time to go down.
"What, you said they offered you a cane?"
Zhang Jiahui's eyes widened, and he looked at Chen Mu enviously: "If I had known this, I would not have climbed to the top, so I took the initiative to send John down."
"What's wrong?"
Chen Mu was not too impressed with the cane offering ceremony.
You must know that in Xia Kingdom, everyone pays attention to doing good deeds without leaving a name, so that everyone knows it, and it feels like a big deal.
Zhang Jiahui said: "Only those who have made great contributions to the mountaineering world will receive the cane offered by everyone. This time... well, you have crossed the 'bottleneck' and you were only close to reaching the summit, but you still gave up to save others." , From this point of view, you have set an example for everyone and can be regarded as a great contribution.”
"Is that so?"
Chen Mu still didn't quite understand.
Zhang Jiahui also said: "For climbers, the temptation to climb to the top is irresistible. If you can resist this temptation and do the right thing, you will be a role model for everyone here. .”
After a slight pause, Zhang Jiahui said enviously: "In mountaineering, there are many legends and anecdotes circulating, basically all of them are word of mouth. Everyone likes to hear such stories. I will use these legends and stories to help me think, motivate myself, and solve problems.
What you did to save people today will definitely become such a legend in the future, and everyone will think of you whenever they meet John again on the mountain.
They will say that on a certain day in such and such a year, Xia Guo’s Mu only almost climbed to the top of K2, but in order to save others, he decisively chose to retreat. In the end, although he failed to reach the summit, he gained Got the respect of everyone in the base camp...
Well, as long as everyone thinks of your incident, they will definitely follow your example to save lives, because this is related to the dignity of a climber, and it is more honorable than reaching the summit itself. "
Hearing this, Chen Mu finally understood a little bit.
Dare love this is really to set him up as an example, so that everyone can understand that human life must be valued on the mountain, which is more important than climbing to the top.
"You will be a celebrity in the mountaineering world in the future."
Zhang Jiahui's words were a little sour.
He has always been a pseudo mountaineering fan who indulges in various mountaineering magazines and programs all day long, and dreams of becoming a "legendary" figure.
Unexpectedly, Chen Mu actually did what he wanted to do. Needless to say, this envy, jealousy and hatred made him wish he could replace it with his own body that day.
After two days of recuperation, the mountaineering team began to return the same way.
When the base camp heard that Chen Mu was leaving, they all came to see him off.
"Mu, come again next time, you will definitely succeed."
"Young man, you are doing well, don't be discouraged!"
"Good job, brother, I will find you to play with later."
…
Everyone was very enthusiastic about him, especially those white buddies who hang out with him the most, they all came over and gave him big bear hugs, as if they wanted to rub him into their chests.
Those female climbers from the Netherlands also came to hug Chen Mu, and they were also very enthusiastic, as if they wanted to rub him into their chests.
Chen Mu finally rescued himself from the pair of giant bears, but because of the lack of oxygen, he felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, very uncomfortable, and even his lower body seemed to show signs of edema... Well, he must receive treatment as soon as possible .
Therefore, under everyone's reluctant eyes, he started to leave the K2 base camp on foot with three guides.
During this process, Lin Yuanchun had to call a helicopter to take him away because of frostbite on his nose.
It is said that on the day of the summit, he was so excited that he exposed his face to the camera and the air for too long, so that he was frostbitten.
Coupled with ultraviolet radiation, the injury is even more serious.
In the past few days when he went down the mountain, the wound had already started to become infected, and a lot of yellow water flowed out. If he didn't treat it, he might cut his nose, so he had to leave first.
"Mr. Chen, I have already contacted our boss, and he is willing to refund your 700,000 fee."
Back in Asker Village, Pengcuo Tashi came to Chen Mu and said straight to the point.
"Ah, I still have to retreat, that's a good thing, thank you!"
Chen Mu was a little surprised, he didn't expect to be able to refund the money, this is really a conscientious company.
However, the three ancient runes of "conscience" had just been engraved in his heart, but he heard Phuntsuo Tashi say: "But our company has a condition, I hope Mr. Chen can be our company's spokesperson."
"Conscience" collapsed.
Chen Mu asked curiously, "What kind of spokesperson can I be?"
Phuntso Tashi explained: "Because the day before yesterday, the BBC published a report on their official website, and attached a few small videos, all about you, our company thinks you will be a good publicity point, so I want you to be the spokesperson of our company."
"Spokesperson?"
Chen Mu thought for a while and said, "A spokesperson is fine, but your endorsement fee of 700,000 yuan is too low, right? It should be fully refunded anyway."
Pengcuo Zhaxi looked at Chen Mu and said: "This is already the highest endorsement fee of our company. You must know that the advertising of our company is different from that of ordinary companies. Our spokespersons are generally celebrities who like to climb. After they have used our service, they use their photos and mountaineering experience for publicity, so the endorsement fee is generally not too high.”
Chen Mu didn't know much about this business, so he opened his mouth casually.
After pondering for a while, he said: "That's fine, 700,000 is 700,000. I will find you again later, and I will get a discount."
"OK, no problem!"
Phuntso Tashi readily agreed.
