“The Immortals”

Last year, somewhere at the beginning of December, the Crimean Ministry of Emergencies on its website that they saved the 80-year-old tourist who was lost in the mountains from her family. I know this story not by hearing. First, the grandmother should soon be 85, and secondly, she was not a tourist, she was a mattress and an avid mushroom.

I have a favorite girlfriend, and we have a big age difference, she’s good for me as a mom. She is 81 years old and I have admired her for a quarter of a century. Grandmothers at her age are sitting at home, drinking pills and cuddling, and she will give fores and young ladies. She is smart, brilliant, scanwords like seeds, she is engaged in yoga and always open to everything new. This is an anomalous old age.

But most of all, she loves to collect mushrooms. Similarly, and she gathered a team of super-old women like her from eighty and older. Among them was a 64-year-old "young man", also a mad fungus, he is in the car to their fungal places and transports them. Dozens of kilometers in the car and on foot these superstars bump and find mushrooms even where they are not.

And last December, the “immortal team” walked onto the plateau for the rubies. They come, they go where they are looking for. In the morning it was warm and sunny, and suddenly at noon the temperature fell to minus, snow, wind and zero visibility. The Crimean mountains are like nothing, the weather variations in the winter are large, and the synoptics did not report the weather.

And one super-grandmother disappeared, did not return to the car... The phone is not available, it is getting colder, and the old lady was not very warm. They waited a little longer and called the MS. Those men experienced, began to search in places where there is no connection. But it was evening, it was dark and it was still cold. The hopes to find the grandmother alive slid, to see the end of her "immortality" came.

But the young men found her. She was completely disoriented, and thinking that she was returning to the car, she marched along the ground road towards Bachchisaraja. I understood that I was lost, there was no connection, but the iron grandmother never sat down, afraid of freezing to death, and went, and went ahead for long 7 hours, and even the backpack with rubies did not drop, know our...
The “Immortals” bowed away with money for the MHRNs, but they did not take that money, but with square eyes, but looked with respect at this “home of the elderly” who went to the mountains.

And the found super-grandmother did not even sneeze afterwards. But her relatives are no longer allowed to go into the forest, directly attached to the battery, afraid. And my friend and the rest of the "immortals" continue to travel through the forests and mountains in search of mushrooms. When I tell this story, few people believe me. But the men really believe...
