Chapter 168: Trekking pole? A mere Mount Tai needs a trekking pole?

Chen Lu's face was full of question marks.

Good man, after all this time I am your coolie?

You want me to carry the things you bought all the way up the mountain?

You are so good at ordering people around!
[Hahaha, Brother Chen’s expression is so funny! ]

[Brother Chen, isn't it normal for you to carry a lady's backpack? ]

[Wait for Brother Chen to be carried down! ]

【Mt. Tai is only over 1,000 meters high, so it should be easy to climb, right?】

"If you really want to buy it, we can buy it after we come down. Then we can have a good look at it."

Anna thought it made sense, so she stopped.

Coming to a stall selling trekking poles, Chen Lu picked up a trekking pole.

"Hmm? Honey, you look so weak! You still need a trekking pole for just over a thousand meters?"

Chen Lu smiled slightly: "I bought it for you."

He has an enhanced physique, so climbing not only Mount Tai, but even Mount Everest is no problem for him.

"Buy it for me? I don't need it!"

Anna looked disdainful. She was quite confident in her physical fitness and thought climbing a mountain with an altitude of one thousand meters would be no problem.

[That’s right, do you need a trekking pole for a mountain over 1,000 meters high? ]

[Nani, are you so weak? ]

[There is more than one stall selling trekking poles. ]

[The Chinese people's physical fitness is worrying. If it were us Europeans, we wouldn't need trekking poles at all! ]

[Hard-mouthed? Great, Taishan likes to punish people who are hard-mouthed! ]

[Have you ever heard that Mount Tai never accepts tickets from useless people, and only punishes those who are stubborn and unyielding! ]

"Aniha Saiyou! Hello everyone, I have arrived at Mount Tai. Is this mountain really 1,500 meters above sea level? It doesn't seem as high as the mountains in our Kimchi Country!"

A Korean blogger nearby started a live broadcast.

Not long ago, he climbed a very challenging mountain in Korea, which is about 600 meters above sea level.

The comments under the video are mostly praise, but some Chinese IPs said that it is only over 600 meters, and the nameless barren mountains in their hometown are higher than this, asking him if he wants to challenge China's Mount Tai?
So he came.

Haha, how dare tiny China be so arrogant?
Isn’t it just a mountain over a thousand meters high?
Then he came today and took a look, and found that it was not that high.

"Hiking pole? I don't need a hiking pole! Only weak Chinese people need one! I'll make a bet with you guys. I'll reach the top of the mountain within three hours, or I'll win two iPhones!"

After saying that, he rushed to the top of the mountain.

Not by walking, but by running.

There are only three hours left and he doesn't want to give away his iPhone!
Although Chinese netizens in the barrage kept reminding her, Anna still insisted on her own opinion.

It’s just a mountain with an altitude of more than 1,000 meters, there’s no need for trekking poles!
"Girl, are you sure you don't want a trekking pole?"

The proprietress looked at her with concern.

No, this look is not one of worry, but of sympathy!

Anna didn't understand why she looked at her with sympathy?

This look seems to be saying: Have a nice journey?
I just want to climb a mountain, do you have to look at me like that?

Look down on people!

Chen Lu did not continue to persuade him, as there were many people selling trekking poles along the way.

Let the two of them climb for a while first, and when Anna feels tired, they can buy a trekking pole.

It’s just that the higher you go, the more expensive the price will be.

So the two began to climb Mount Tai.

The first thing Anna felt was not the beautiful scenery, but one word: crowded!

She has already realized the Chinese people's love for Mount Tai, because there are so many people!
The gongs and drums are noisy, the firecrackers are blasting, the red flags are waving, and there are huge crowds of people!
When you look up, you see a butt; when you turn your head, you see a face!

It's amazing how many people can fit on such a small mountain path. "Honey, there are so many people."

Chen Lu smiled and said, "Don't worry, because there are more people at the foot of the mountain. As you climb up, there will be fewer and fewer people. In the end, you won't see anyone else walking with you, because they all gave up halfway!"

“Is it that exaggerated?”

Anna thought he was exaggerating.

A loud shout came from behind, "Make way! Make way!"

The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw several orange figures.

Chinese firefighters!
They were climbing up the mountain in groups of four, carrying stretchers.

The guy next to him should be his companion, following him nervously all the way.

The tourists quickly made way for the firefighters to pass.

I wondered which tourist had suddenly fallen ill?

[Firefighters? What's going on?]

[Maybe someone on the mountain suddenly got sick? Vigorous exercise can cause some acute diseases]

[Ward Post! Chinese firefighters are so considerate that they would even climb mountains to save people? ]

[It is simply impossible to climb mountains and save people in our country! ]

Everyone continued to climb, and after a while, the firefighters came down. There was a person lying on the stretcher, and it was the kimchi blogger from before!

He was obviously unconscious, with his eyes tightly closed.

"Excuse me, what happened to him?"

The firefighter sighed: "I overestimated my physical fitness. I rushed too fast and my body couldn't handle it."

[Nani, isn't this the kimchi blogger? ]

[He claimed to conquer Mount Tai in three hours, but ended up being conquered by Mount Tai? ]

[Wow, is Mount Tai so hard to climb? Even fitness bloggers can’t stand it! ]

[Little Paocai's physical fitness is really poor. If it were our little Sakura, this wouldn't happen. ]

[But look at their bodies, they are obviously fitness people! ]

[I have climbed many mountains in Europe, but I have never seen anyone climb themselves to the point of passing out! ]

Everyone realized something was wrong. Mount Tai was not as easy to climb as it looked!

Looking at the young man on the stretcher, many tourists began to retreat.

I'm just out here to have fun, I don't want to be carried into the hospital!
But there were also many people who were fearless and rushed forward shouting slogans.

“Youth has no price tag, let’s charge forward, brothers!”

Looking at the clarity in his eyes, you can tell at first glance that he is a college student who has just enrolled.

It’s a good thing that youth has no price, but you can’t ask people to carry it from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain either!
Chen Lu turned around, and without him saying anything, Anna had already rushed to the stall.

"Auntie, give me a trekking pole! No, give me two!"

It is true that what you hear is not as good as what you see!
"Okay, five bucks for one, two for ten bucks."

Five dollars a stick?

Cheap!

Too cheap!

"Auntie, this trekking pole must be produced in Yiwu, right?" Anna asked.

"My silly wife, although things in Yiwu are very cheap, it doesn't mean that all cheap things are made in Yiwu. You still have to consider the shipping cost..."

Before Chen Lu finished speaking, Anna held out the trekking pole in front of him.

Printed on it is the name of a company in Yiwu.

Wow, this trekking pole is really made in Yiwu, no wonder it’s sold so cheaply!
But what she didn't know was that the same trekking pole was only two dollars and fifty cents each at the foot of the mountain.
