When Yue Chun received Xi Tuo's message, he was looking at Xi Yun's birthday gift in his hand - couple ceramics.

This is a gift that Koetsubaki cherishes very much.

He loved her more than himself.

But she did what she wanted.

He was willing to spend time with her.

Silently follow her to protect her.

But I don't want to forgive her easily.

Yue Chun said secretly: "Xi Yun, I will let you know what it is to ask for but not to be, when you know that you can't ask for it, you will cherish it, and I will no longer 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 clothes of the mountaineering team and waited, she didn't see the person who protected her in Mo Yuanlian's mouth, so it's okay, she doesn't need protection.

The team starts at 8 a.m. and approaches the summit from the north side of McKinley Peak, passing through Maderu Glacier.

The route is dangerous, and the climbing cycle is two weeks.

If something happens, it will take about three weeks.

Xi Yun brought a compass, an oxygen cylinder, and all the things needed for climbing, including dry food, for about a month, and everyone was in this amount, because he was afraid of delaying the time and not being able to climb the south peak of McKinley Peak.

When he set off, Yan Qing arrived at Xi Yun's side.

Xi Yun silently hung his head and walked his own way.

Yan Qing didn't talk to her, but followed her silently, as if a gesture of protecting her.

The dense fog of McKinley Peak is very heavy, and many times you can only see the scenery in the distance of a few tens of meters, if you don't have a compass, it will be difficult to walk an inch, Xi Yun surprisingly few words, and after walking silently for a week, Elena finally couldn't help but care for her.

"Xi Yun, what are you thinking?"

Xi Yun shook his head, "Tired, no fantasies." ”

"You're quiet these days. Elena said.

Xi Yun and the others spent most of their time on the ice, often surrounded by dense fog, cold, dampness, and gloom, and the steep mountains around them were punctuated by the loud sound of avalanches caused by unstable snow layers, and the snow fog before the avalanche often overshadowed the glaciers.

There was no sign of it before the avalanche.

It is also not known whether an avalanche could destroy them.

But this is their greatest danger.

Xi Yun continued to shake his head, "I'm tired." ”

I'm tired, my heart is tired.

She said, "I want to quit." ”

She wanted to quit just a week.

It's not really quitting.

Just want to leave this team.

I want to climb slowly by myself.

The outcome is all up to God.

Elena said with a cool expression, "Dangerous. ”

Hearing this, Xi Yun didn't speak again, but at dinner in the evening, she expressed to the team leader that she wanted to quit.

The latter, of course, did not agree.

But from that day on, Xi Yun's footsteps became more and more sluggish, unable to keep up with the pace of the large army, the team leader also found her problem, and took her a few days ago, and on the ninth day, the team leader agreed to her quit and arranged for someone to send her back to Beifeng.

She refused: "I can go down the mountain alone." ”

Her attitude was resolute, and the team leader had to agree.

Yan Qing, who liked her, didn't stay with her.

Elena was worried, but was chased away by Xi Yun.

Chen Chen asked Yan Qing why he didn't stay.

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 it was really not his turn to worry.

After the team left, Xi Yun set up a tent on the glacier and lit a fire on the grass, which was found in the vicinity.

But the dead wood burned fast.

Xi Yun didn't bother to move anymore and kept sitting in front of the tent.

And not far from her there was a man who was always watching.

On the third day, when Xi Yun hadn't taken action yet, the man finally understood that she was waiting for death, and only those who were waiting for death would live slowly like her, without thinking about leaving.

On the fourth day, Xi Yun finally left the tent to walk around, the sound of avalanches could still be heard in the distance, Xi Yun was not worried, she picked up the dead wood and was about to leave back to the tent when someone held her and fell hard in the snow, when she sat up, she saw a bear in front of her.

She didn't feel scared, just at a loss.

The man who suddenly appeared at a loss.

"Big brother, why are you here?"

Yue Chun didn't answer her, but asked her to run first, Xi Yun didn't want to leave him, but understood that it would only be trouble for him to stay.

And she never wanted to be a problem for him.

"Big brother, if you have anything to do, I will accompany you to the funeral. ”

It was the only promise she could give.

She quickly got up and left, she was nervous sitting in front of the tent, five minutes later, Xi Yun saw the man come out of the fog, he was dressed in luxurious clothes, but there was bright red blood flowing from his shoulder, she quickly got up and went over to help him arm.

Xi Yun hurriedly helped Yue Chun to sit where she lit the fire, she bit her lip and said, "I'll bandage your wounds first." ”

She didn't ask him how the bear was.

There is no self-blame.

No tears.

Just calmly tending to his wounds.

The man's shoulders were broad and thick, and Xi Yun seemed to find a little warmth on the rolling ice, and she dressed him and asked, "Why are you here? It's dangerous here." ”

Yue Tsubaki replied: "The eyes are full of countless tangled mountains, stretching all the way to the gray sky, gray peaks and gray sea, there are no boundaries. ”

Xi Yun was surprised and asked, "What?"

"This is what Anderson Stark said when describing the scenery from the summit of Mount McKinley, one of the first members of the mountaineering team to climb Mount McKinley in 1913, and he once led his sled dog on a 16,000-kilometer arduous journey in northern Alaska near the North Pole in the icy winter," Yue Tsubaki explained. Regarding the experience of reaching the summit, he also wrote in his diary: I remember not a day in my life was so hard, depressed and exhausted as today, but so happy and satisfied......"

Xi Yun tightened his voice and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Do you want to witness the truth of his words?"

Yue Tsubaki is encouraging her to keep climbing.

It seems that he misunderstood.

"I would," she explained, "I was thinking about resting here for a few days before continuing to climb, but 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? ”

There are only two girls in the team!!

"Big brother is talking about Elena?"

"Yes, she's grown up healthy from the darkness, and I'm guessing she's the only person you've felt guilty and grateful for all these years. ”

Xi Yun said without concealment: "Yes." ”

And now she feels guilty about Yue Chun.

"She didn't care about herself to save you, and it was your mission to protect her, and it seemed difficult to get out of McKinley Peak alive. ”

Yue Tsubaki means to keep her alive to protect Elena.

"But big brother, I'm more worried about you. ”
