A person with a conscience may not be able to do something wrong, but it will often be more painful afterwards than those who are vicious.

It is often said that time will smooth out everything, but in fact, time will not smooth out anything at all, at best, it will make the original clear things look a little blurry, not completely obscured.

Even if time has passed, the things that were done wrong at the beginning are still there.

It's like a tattoo on your body, you think you can wash it off, but what you can wash off is only the color on it, the scar is still on your body, and when you touch it, there will still be bursts of pain.

Lin Ziming is such a person, and he is essentially different from other people.

Although he joined the mountaineering team because of Xue Xiang's promise to give money, others are naturally the same as him, all for the sake of profit.

The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and this is really true.

In order to show his courage to his beloved woman, Xue Xiang set up a mountaineering team, found professional coaches, and even used the best equipment.

In fact, not all of these people came for money, and there were a few of them who were not suitable for money at all, but wanted to go up the mountain to do some geological investigation.

Before this incident, Ding Fan really didn't expect that there were still a few people in this team who were not for money at all.

It's just that Xue Xiang will not agree to such a person to join.

After all, Xue Xiang is the one who paid to set up this team, and the purpose is simple, after climbing to the top of the mountain, he gets the stone on the top of the mountain, and his goal is achieved.

Supposedly, they won't bring these so-called scholars with their team, after all, these people want to be in his team, and if they don't get it right, it will cause trouble.

At least if it was Ding Fan, he wouldn't want to take these people with him, and the brains he learned were different from normal people after all, and he liked to drill the horns of the bull the most, which was a common problem for people like them.

In their view, as long as it is useful to science, they must collect specimens, and even give up their lives for this reason, and still do not hesitate to do so, this is the spirit of scholars.

So Ding Fan felt that Xue Xiang should not take these people up the mountain, but he didn't know why he agreed, and even cared about these scholars and provided the equipment for the pattern set.

However, Lin Ziming is not very clear about this matter, I heard that at the beginning, when they were training, these so-called scholars did not appear, and they came later.

The person who contacted him at that time was still an uncle of his family, who had always been good to him when he was a child, although the money given to him was not very much, but he also had his own family, and in the end he could help him was to hear about this mountaineering team from the outside.

The news was given to Lin Ziming, which can be regarded as a big favor for him, Lin Caiwei is about to go to college, he can't get this tuition at all, the only way at the moment is to join this mountaineering team, whether he can get down from the mountain or not, he can get a sum of money, with this money, his sister's tuition will be settled.

So Lin Ziming finally reluctantly joined the mountaineering team, just for this considerable amount of alimony.

After participating in this mountaineering team, the coach was very professional, and after more than half a year, the whole team was barely able to complete this mountaineering task.

It's just that no one thought that when climbing the mountain at the end, there would be a sudden heavy snowfall, which came very unexpectedly, although this mountaineering team is an amateur team, but the equipment with it is not bad, are some foreign professional equipment, it is said that such a team with materials should be able to successfully climb to the top.

But in the previous training, I didn't learn to deal with this special weather.

When the heavy snow came in their faces, everyone panicked, and many of the equipment and supplies carried by their bodies in the panic were blown away by the heavy snow, and even many people because of the wide clothes on their bodies, the resistance was too great, and in order to reduce the resistance on their bodies, they finally threw away a piece of clothing on their bodies.

Although the resistance has been reduced, and there is no danger of being blown off the cliff by the wind and snow, the cold on their bodies is something they can't resist.

Fortunately, there was a professional coach who took them to find a place to block the wind and snow, and after supporting the tent, they barely survived the night.

The wind and snow came very suddenly and for an unexpected time, and the heavy snowstorm for several days not only crushed the tents, but even the heating fuel they carried was not enough, and they were likely to die on the mountain if they survived.

At this time, the best way is to wait until the heavy snow is over, and everyone will return along the road.

But Xue Xiang disagreed, he wanted to climb to the top of the mountain, and even wanted to reach the top before everyone, at this critical time, he would definitely not go back.

All the food and clothing they had in their hands were added up and distributed in a constant amount every day, barely enough for them to spend three days.

After three days, everyone will face the plight of not having food, and even the clothes and tents they carry will not be enough to fully support them to reach the summit.

At this time, the only chance to survive is to take the little thing left in your hand, turn around and walk back, so that you may still be able to live.

No one could have imagined that Xue Xiang had always disagreed with this matter, and not long after going out, he actually came back with a few bags of food and kerosene.

Everyone knows that Xue Xiang is rich, although this is a mountain, and if you have money, you may not be able to buy things, but where there are people, there is an entanglement of interests after all.

Xue Xiang used the abundant funds in his hands to buy a large amount of equipment from the outside, including food and kerosene, as long as these things are planned, there should be no problem if they want to use them on the top of the mountain.

Although there are not many things, they are barely enough, but they are relatively hard.

Originally, I thought that with these things, this road should be considered relatively safe, at least there are professional coaches, with these things, climbing to the top of the mountain should not be a problem, the top of the sky is the road behind a little harder.

Who knows, the road behind is not as simple as they imagined, heavy snow covers most of the stone walls on the mountain, the journey is very difficult, and the equipment in hand is at most to meet everyone's food needs.

But the temperature has become the biggest problem, but at night a kerosene lamp can barely keep warm, in the daytime when climbing to the top of the mountain, the thin clothes on the body, there is no way to resist the cold wind on the mountain.

A group of people faced the biting cold wind on the mountain, and wanted to reach the top of the mountain, it was as difficult as climbing to the sky, even if there was food, there was no way to make people's bodies constantly hot, and sooner or later they would not be able to withstand this low temperature, and finally they would be frozen to death.

After all, death is a key to the dark side of mankind, and once this key appears, the evil in people's hearts will be completely awakened.

It used to look like a human being, but once the door is opened, the human becomes like a demon.

After the blizzard on the mountain, it seems that everyone in the real mountaineering team has changed, from the laughter and laughter along the way, everyone's faces are full of hope, and they have become wary of each other, and even their eyes are full of greed and evil thoughts.

For this disaster, Lin Ziming's feelings are the most profound, the disaster comes, the destruction is often not as simple as the flesh * body, the spirit and the shadow in the heart are the most devastating.

Death can awaken the most sincere feelings in people's hearts, cherish and be more sincere to all your relatives and friends around you, and at the same time, it will also awaken sin in people's hearts.

This team of people, from supporting each other at the beginning, to mutual jealousy at the end, and even competing for life resources, only took less than three days.

The cold originally only acted on the surface of the body, but no one thought that three days later, when the first mountaineer team member fell, the only little humanity left in everyone's hearts was completely destroyed.

When March was the first member of the mountaineering team to reach out and tear off a coat from his teammate, who had already froze to death, everyone's eyes changed.

At the beginning of the term, this kind of thing only happened when some team members were frozen to death, but on the night of the same day, everything that made people worry happened, and even happened very naturally, as if everyone had tacitly prepared before.

Lin Ziming clearly remembered that these people were like beasts, and when the temporary expedition team was resting, he stretched out his guilty palms to them.

There were only five people in the entire expedition team, and some people had already died in the middle of the road before, and there was only a team of four people left, so naturally there was no way to compare with their group of strong people.

In just half an hour, they snatched all the clothes from the four people, and even drove them out of the open.

There was even a woman among these people, Lin Ziming clearly saw the despair in the woman's eyes at that time, but he didn't stretch out his hand to stop it.

Because he knew that although he was tall, he didn't have any say in this team, all of this was acquiesced by Xue Xiang, he could only obey, otherwise he would run in vain this time.

For the sake of money, he finally chosen, silent.

Seeing the group of beasts around him, snatching other people's clothes and food, and also seeing those few people who didn't even have clothes on their bodies, standing in the cold wind, their eyes gradually moving away with resentment.

He knew the results of these people, but at that time, he had no way to redeem them.

Early the next morning, before the group set off again, Lin Ziming also took a look outside, and finally found a snow cave not far away.

This is the first time Lin Ziming has seen a dead person, or a dead man with such a hideous appearance, this scene has always been deeply remembered in his mind, and he has never forgotten it for a day.

He didn't even know how he got down the rest of the way, but he remembered that when he finally woke up, he was already in the hospital.

And Xue Xiang did not break his promise, and a very generous compensation was delivered to him in a short time, and it was even more than double the price negotiated before.

Although Lin Ziming is not very smart, he still understands the truth that there is no pie in the sky.

This sudden extra sum of money, he easily thought of everything that happened on the mountain at the beginning, this was a hush money that Xue Xiang gave him.

As long as he accepts this money, he will not be able to mention this matter in the future, and he will always rot the events of that night in his stomach, and he will never be able to talk to anyone.

Lin Ziming knew that he shouldn't take this money, and after he really took this money, his conscience was sold.

But if he didn't take this money, Xue Xiang wouldn't rest assured, he came to the door three or four times, and even in the end, Lin Caiwei was blackmailed, and Lin Ziming could only accept the money in desperation.

Since then, the nightmares have never stopped, and he can't even sleep without drinking a little wine every night.

He knew very well that this was retribution, and that he did not react at the time, and that it would eventually lead to retribution.
