Chapter 436: Ascending the Heavenly Mountain
The two cops slowed down, not going to chase the hooligans who had escaped into the Kremlin, but they would come over to inspect the classic car and ask Liu Zhan all sorts of questions.
Liu Zhan told Mary not to answer, so she pretended to be a tourist visitor, let alone a conversation, and they couldn't even understand it.
The police will soon find Liu Zhan's uniform under his ski suit, and then it's all over.
Liu Zhan tried his best to escape, only to be thrown into the abyss from a higher place with Mary. If this was a black joke, Liu Zhan felt that this joke must be unprecedentedly black.
Joseph came out of the store just then, with a small shopping bag in his hand, and immediately began to cry out at the sight of what he saw.
Liu Zhan heard Joseph's voice, Joseph first cursed loudly at the back of the gangsters, and then lowered his voice to talk to the two policemen, Liu Zhan seemed to hear Joseph talking about his sister and her boyfriend. Joseph is trying to find a way to keep the police from approaching the car.
"I think you'd better kiss me now. Liu Zhan said to Mary.
The two policemen walked up to the car, and they saw Mary and Liu Zhan hugging each other. Joseph made a few jokes when he threw the shopping bag in the front seat of the car, and the policeman laughed and said a few obscene words.
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you. It seems that we are not welcome here. Joseph said loudly and waved his hand to thank the police. He tried not to hurry and started the car and drove onto the highway, and the police waved him goodbye. At this time, Mary and Liu Zhan separated.
"Hate, next time you're enthusiastic. When Mary sat up straight when the police couldn't see, she sighed and flattened her somewhat messy coat.
None of them spoke again, and Liu Zhan leaned over from the front seat to pick up the shopping bag containing all their supplies.
"That's all they have. Joseph said apologetically before Liu opened his mouth, "The shop is too small, that is, a cigarette stand." ”
With a few bars of chocolate, three lighters, and a large bag of hazelnuts in a thin plastic bag, and no clothing, Liu Zhan tried not to show extreme disappointment.
They had to look at the pitiful stuff in their bags and hike over the highest mountain range in the world.
They were wearing thin clothes, and on top of that, there were only a few tracksuits that the boy had left in his backpack.
There's no way to get over the mountains with these things.
Liu Zhan looked up at the mountains in front of him, the clear sky hung with a touch of slanting sun, and the golden afterglow was sprinkled on the peaks of the snow-capped mountains, but the breathtaking scenery in front of him meant that the long dark night was coming.
Their journey to the mountains will be extremely difficult, and they will face a bitter cold test tonight.
As they continued to drive forward, the lights of Illian had been forgotten by the cars that were driving far towards the mountain, and the old car was crawling slowly along the mountain road, the windows of the car were covered with a layer of white fog, and the road ahead was getting rougher and narrower, and the snow was getting thicker and thicker.
Then, the car starts skidding, the tires can't grip the ground at all, and the car can't move forward anymore.
"I'm sorry. Joseph said.
Liu Zhan put his hand on his shoulder, "Joseph, don't say such things, you have done everything that a friend can do, and it is for a stranger like us. "
"The Taili people have been treating their friends like this since ancient times, and maybe we have a chance to revive those wonderful traditions, and not let it be too late. "
"Sometimes a revolution takes a lifetime, and sometimes it may just take a weekend. Hope is always waiting for us. ”
"I'm an acute. "
"Great. "
Liu Zhan and Mary began to count all the clothes in the car. Mary had cheap boots on her feet the equivalent of a pair of sneakers, and she had a set of clothes to wear when she got off the plane, a pair of trousers and a thin emerald green jacket, and the cheap ski suit she bought this morning.
"Put this on. Liu Zhan said and took out a sweatshirt from his rucksack, and Mary immediately smelled a strong smell of sweat on the man's body.
"Is it really necessary?" she looked at the stains on her clothes, trying not to pay attention to the unpleasant smell.
"Must wear, and this. Liu Zhan took out another pair of sports socks that were about to be washed out, "as gloves." Our worst enemy is the cold, and then Wren. ”
"But he's been left behind by us. "
"He'll be ahead of us tomorrow morning. "
Mary struggled to put her clothes on her body, and she looked like a clumsy rag doll. Liu Zhan took out all the contents of his bag, "I'm going to put on these shorts, maybe you can close your eyes." He said as he began to take off his uniform pants.
"Is there anything you haven't seen?" Mary had a whisper of teas, but no smile on her face, and she realized what was waiting in front of them.
When Liu Zhan took off the guard's boots, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, his toes had been squeezed into a little red and swollen. He picked up the sneakers in his backpack and put them on his feet, but the shoes were incredibly small, and the Taylians were so small that it seemed that he could only wear the guard's boots.
After arranging his clothes, he squeezed his feet into his boots with all his might, and he frowned in pain.
Liu Zhan stuffed the rest of his belongings into his backpack and then zipped them up.
Joseph took off his sweater, and all that was left was a T-shirt, "And one more, take it." "
He handed over the sweater.
"No, I can't. Mary shouted, "You've done so much for us."
Liu Zhan reached out and took the last gift Joseph had given them.
Both he and Joseph knew that the dress was priceless right now, "We owe you another love." Thank you. ”
He shoved the garment to Mary, "Wrap it around your head, you need this garment." ”
As soon as Mary opened the car door, she immediately understood what Liu Zhan meant, she had never been a flower in a greenhouse, but she had never experienced what she was looking for.
The bitter cold wind instantly froze every inch of her exposed skin, making her shiver involuntarily.
She wrapped Joseph's sweatshirt tightly around her head and put her old socks over her hands.
They pushed the car together, helped Joseph turn the car, and waved goodbye to him.
The car slowly drove down the hill, and Liu Zhan and Mary watched the car disappear into the distance.
"Let's go, little girl. Liu Zhan said, "There is a big warm bed waiting for us on the other side of the mountain."
Nong looked at Mary's temperament, she would definitely return a few words of respect to Liu Zhan, but she glanced at the mountain as Liu Zhan said, and found that she had to bend her neck to the limit before she could barely see the top of the mountain.
She finally had the roof of the world and how grim the reality was, but Mary didn't say anything, and followed Liu Zhan towards the rapidly setting sunset.
According to Liu Zhan's plan, he planned to walk all night, which would be safer and could escape tracking, and although they did not have flashlights, the moonlight reflected from the snow was enough for them to see the road ahead.
However, the speed at which they walked was very slow, on the one hand, their shoes were always slipping on the ice, on the other hand, the snow in many places was thick enough to reach their calves, and they were physically and mentally exhausted all day today, Marsha gritted her teeth and didn't say a word, but her physical strength had been exhausted to the limit, and Liu Zhan was no better, so they could only stop.
When it was completely dark, they looked around and saw nothing but whiteness, so they walked on for another hour, until they found a shepherd's hut where they had escaped the heat in the summer.
In summer, the snow-covered land turns into a grassy plateau, and the scorching sun scorchs every stone here.
The hut was built haphazardly out of tattered wooden planks, barely sheltered from the wind and snow, a piece of plywood that covered the exit weighed the door of the hut, and a few pieces of plastic sheeting tied to thick branches served as the roof of the hut.
Liu Zhan walked into the hut, with a lighter, except for a few bundles of straw in the corner, the room was empty.
The straw may have been dropped by the shepherd, but it could have been blown in by the wind.
"Welcome to the Presidential Suite. Liu Zhan said softly.
"Here," Mary was about to say that people were freezing to death here, when a whole bunch of wonderful adjectives were about to blurt out, and when she thought about it, she felt that it made no sense to say it. Even though they were in the hut, they were still so breathy, so Mary said, "It's a wonderful place, Liu Zhan, and you're a very sentimental person. I must admit that I wanted to have a tryst with you over the weekend, but I didn't expect to come to such a secluded place. ”
"Rest for two hours, and then we'll hit the road. ”
"Can you make a fire?"
Liu Zhan shook his head, "One spark can turn this hut to ashes and tell the whole village where we are. ”
Martha carefully turned over the straw lest there be nails hidden in it, and they spread the straw into rudimentary straw mats, sat side by side, and leaned together to eat chocolate and hazelnuts.
"We have to sleep for a while. Liu Zhan said.
Mary looked at the straw on the ground, and the straw mat had just been blown away by the wind. She shook her head, "There's no way to sleep here. "
"Mary, you don't know how much potential you have, comfort is about the same as pain, it all depends on your state of mind. So, try to stay optimistic. ”
"Not even a blanket. ”
"You've got me. "
"Then I'll have to use you as a blanket. ”
"I could talk a lot of sweet talk, but right now, the only thing I can do is sleep with you. ”
"If you don't mind, I'll go the more traditional way. She snuggled into his arms, "Also, you smell like an old sweatshirt." ”
Liu Zhan hugged Mary tightly in his arms and tried to cover her with his own body.
"We'll be fine, won't we?" Mary asked softly.
"We're definitely fine. ”
"When you have a woman in your arms, you men never tell the truth. ”
"Trust me. ”
"You know, one day I'll believe it. ”
She reluctantly hugged Liu Zhan.
They lay on straw mats, warming each other with their body heat, and she never expected their first night to be like this.
