When Yue Chun received the news from Xi Tuo, he was staring at the birthday present Xi Yun gave him-couple ceramics.
This is a gift that Yuechun cherishes very much.
He loves her more than himself.
But she violated her own mind.
He is willing to spend time with her.
Silently followed behind her to protect her.
But he is not willing to forgive her easily.
Yue Chun secretly said: "Xi Yun, I will let you know what to ask but not to be. You will only cherish it when you clearly ask but not to be. I will not condone and tolerate you in the future."
And Yan Qing...
He will not be afraid.
...
Xi Yun woke up early in the morning. She put on the special clothing made by the mountaineering team and waited. She didn't see the person protecting her that Mo Yuanlian said. That's good, she didn't need protection.
The climbing team departs at 8 in the morning, approaching the peak from the north side of Mount McKinley, and will reach the summit through the Madru Glacier.
This route is dangerous and the climbing cycle is two weeks.
If something happens, it will take about three weeks.
Xi Yun took a compass, oxygen cylinder, and everything needed for climbing, including dry food, for about a month. Everyone took the same amount, because he was afraid that he would not be able to climb the South Peak of McKinley.
When they set off, Yan Qing came to Xi Yun's side.
Xi Yun silently walked his own way with his head down.
Yan Qing didn't talk to her, but followed her silently, as if to protect her.
The dense fog on Mount McKinley is very heavy, and often only a few tens of meters in the distance can be seen. If there is no compass, it will be difficult to walk. Xi Yun is surprisingly few. After a week of silence, Elena finally couldn’t help it. Caring for her.
"Xi Yun, what are you thinking?"
Xi Yun shook his head, "Tired, no dreams."
"You are very quiet these days." Elena said.
Xi Yun stayed on the ice most of the time. They were often surrounded by thick fog, cold, dampness and darkness. From time to time, loud noises of avalanches caused by unstable snow layers and snow fog before avalanches came from the surrounding steep mountains. It often covers glaciers.
There was no sign before the avalanche.
I don't know if the avalanche might destroy them.
But this is their greatest danger.
Xi Yun continued to shake his head, "Tired."
Tired, tired.
She spoke: "I want to quit."
She wanted to quit for the first week.
Not really withdrawing.
Just want to leave this team.
I want to climb slowly by myself.
The result is all to God.
Elena said with a cool expression: "Danger."
Hearing this, Xi Yun didn't speak any more, but she expressed to the team leader that she wanted to quit during dinner.
The latter certainly did not agree.
But from that day on, Xi Yun's pace became slower and slower, unable to keep up with the big troops. The leader also discovered her problem. He took her a few days ago. On the ninth day, the leader agreed to withdraw her and arranged. A person sent her back to Beifeng.
She refused: "I can go down the mountain alone."
Her attitude was firm, and the team leader had to agree.
Yan Qing, who liked her, did not stay with her.
Elena was worried, but was driven away by Xi Yun.
Chen Chen asked Yan Qing why she didn't stay behind.
Yan Qing only gave him five words, "She has already decided."
Chen Chen didn't understand, but it was indeed dangerous to leave her alone.
But this fact is that it is not his turn to worry.
After the team left, Xi Yun set up a tent on the glacier, and a fire started on the grass, the dead wood found nearby.
But the dead wood burns quickly.
Xi Yun didn't bother to move any more and sat in front of the tent.
And not far from her, a man kept guarding.
By the third day when Xi Yun hadn't acted yet, the man finally understood that she was waiting for death. Only those who were waiting for death would spend time like her slowly, without considering leaving.
On the fourth day, Xi Yun finally left the tent and strolled nearby. The sound of an avalanche could still be heard in the distance. Xi Yun had no worries in her heart. When she picked up the dead wood and was about to leave to return to the tent, someone held her cruelly. The ground fell into the snow, and when she sat up, she saw a bear in front of her.
She was not scared, just at a loss.
The man who appeared suddenly at a loss.
"Big brother, why are you here?"
Yue Chun didn't answer her, but let her run first. Xi Yun didn't want to leave him, but knew that keeping it would only be a trouble.
And she never wanted to be his trouble.
"Big Brother, I will bury you for what you have."
This is the only promise she can give.
She quickly got up and left. Sitting in front of the tent, she was uneasy. After five minutes, Xi Yun saw the man walking out of the fog. He was dressed in luxurious clothes, but with bright red blood on his shoulders. She quickly got up and held his arm. .
Xi Yun hurriedly supported Yue Chun and sat where she was on fire. She bit her lip and said, "I will bandage the wound for you first."
She didn't ask him how the bear was.
No self-blame.
No tears.
Just calmly dealt with his wounds.
The man's shoulders are broad and thick. Xi Yun seemed to find a little warmth on the continuous ice. She put on his clothes and asked, "Why are you here? It's dangerous here."
Yue Chun replied: "There are countless tangled mountains in front of me, extending to the gray sky, gray mountain peaks and gray sea. There are no boundaries."
Xi Yun asked in surprise: "What?"
Yue Chun slightly lowered his head and explained: "This is what Anderson Stark said when describing the scenery on the top of Mount McKinley. He was one of the first climbing team members to climb Mount McKinley in 1913. In the icy and snowy winter, he led his sled dogs on an arduous journey of 16,000 kilometers in northern Alaska near the North Pole. Regarding the experience of reaching the summit, he also wrote in his diary: I remember not having What day will be so hard, depressed, and exhausted like today, but so happy and satisfied..."
Xi Yun asked tightly, "What do you mean?"
"Want to witness the truthfulness of his words?"
Yue Chun is encouraging her to continue climbing.
It seems that he has misunderstood.
She explained: "I will. I thought about resting here for a few days before continuing to climb. I didn't expect to meet you here."
She knew he was here for her.
The man's voice was faint, and he said indifferently: "Do you remember the little girl who saved you back then? She is also in the team."
There are only two girls in the team! !
"Big brother is talking about Elena?"
"Yes, she grew up healthy in the dark. I guess the only person you feel guilty and grateful for these years is her."
Xi Yun said without concealment: "Yes."
And now she felt guilty for Yue Chun.
"She didn't care about yourself in order to save you. It was your mission to protect her, and it seemed difficult to get out of Mount McKinley alive."
Yue Chun meant to let her live to protect Elena.
"But brother, I worry about you more."
