Zhang Hump's real name is not Zhang Hump, and he changed his name after being demobilized from the army in 99. I wasn't used to living in Ali for the first few years, but as time went by, I no longer remembered what my previous name was. said that he didn't remember, but he just didn't want to think about the people and things behind the name, just like he made up his mind to change his name, and mortals avoided it.

For one reason or another, tourists are always attached to the various places of interest and historical sites dotted around the southwestern frontier and some disappearing cultures that have long been traced. Staying in the uninhabited area of northern Tibet, the development of tourism is correspondingly slow, and looking at the sky and clouds all day long, the magnificent rivers and mountains covered by thousands of miles of ice are beautiful, but it is not the reason for him to stop.

After all, Ali is a border, coupled with the influence of ethnic minorities, the customs and habits are more like in a foreign country, the house construction, food habits, shop signs, and the mainland are completely different, and the signboards are also Tibetan, if it goes all the way to the west, it will go farther and farther, and the more desolate it will be. Although the large area of earth forest is nourished by the river, it is difficult to see trees and meadows. The spring flowers do not bloom, the water shows the mountains are not clear, and the birds and flowers are not fragrant. The most abundant bird is the crow, and the most abundant flower is the red willow. The crow has a high-pitched and sharp voice, and the red willow flower is large but not fragrant.

The driving skills he cultivated in the army have become today's housekeeping skills, and he is responsible for driving buses into the mountains, which inevitably involves dealing with the troops, and the people stationed in the area know that he is also a demobilized soldier, but it is easier to communicate.

On weekdays, when I don't work, I work in the hardware store next door to the parking lot, and the two incomes are enough to maintain the daily life of a middle-aged man. He also enjoys this leisure and indifference.

It was probably one afternoon in March, and he didn't remember clearly that someone contacted him and said he was going to get out of the car. However, a few days ago, the heavy snow closed the mountain, and no matter how familiar the porter and merchant were, they did not dare to walk around in the Kunlun Holy Mountain at will. The man often helped him with business, knew the situation, and didn't want to embarrass him, since he refused him, he thought it was over. It wasn't until one o'clock in the morning that the man knocked on the door wrapped in mottled pieces of snow that he knew something was wrong. His name is Tie Shan, and he is also an outsider, and he is occasionally responsible for issuing border protection permits for outsiders entering the mountain.

Hurriedly grabbed the wine, the first aid kit, rope, satellite phone and oxygen tank followed the iron mountain, and drove straight to the Kunlun Glacier. At this time, the passenger cars could no longer get on, and there were camel rentals at the starting place of the thirteen glaciers. They put things in several layers of sacks on the hump, along the way Zhang Hump asked why he couldn't contact the troops stationed there, asking for assistance, Tie Shan kept shaking his head and only said no, no, no, he didn't explain, Zhang Hump was helpless, but it was not his style to leave it alone, only said that if he encountered a beast and needed to shoot, this shot could not be hidden.

After crossing the glacier, the road into the mountain is slippery and narrow, with cliffs on one side and cliffs on the other, and the camels are shaking their legs when they reach this place, and sometimes they simply lie down. The man was in a hurry, cut open the pocket on the hunchback, and scattered the rations on the snow and ice, barely supporting his walking.

The sky is gradually brightening, there is no need to turn on the lights, the snow has stopped, and in the Keriya Pass, you can clearly see the clear figure of the Qiangtang Holy Lake under the sunlight, but the people who walk have no intention of appreciating it.

"We've got to go faster." Zhang Hump took off his felt hat, his sweat-soaked hair clinging to his scalp, sweating when he walked quickly, and the heat was steaming on the top of his head. "It freezes quickly after an avalanche, we don't have a medical tent, and there is hope for survival. Anyway, I'd like you to consider requesting support, which is not far from Camp 7. ”

Tie Shan sighed and said, "I didn't expect them to stop going inside the camp, they have a tough attitude, and they are employers, no one expected to really encounter an avalanche, I really shouldn't be greedy for temporary profits." If you can save people, I won't take a penny for the guide fee this time, so I'll give it all to you, which is a thank you. ”

Iron Mountain could have left the blame alone, but he still came late at night to ask for help. Whether visitors or locals alike, living at the foot of the sacred mountain is always in awe. This has nothing to do with the teachings of the lamas, but only the reverence for heaven and earth.

The rest of the journey was relatively smooth, and although I was mentally prepared to see the tragic scene, what was actually unfolding in front of me was far more unbearable than hell.

Avalanches are unlikely to see any bloody scenes, only those buried in the snow that have disappeared forever and barely leaked out of shape have long since become frozen statues. Zhang Huofeng and Tie Shan looked at the scattered or overlapping figures in a daze, and stepped forward to determine whether there were possible vital signs, but helplessly, no one survived and was left in Kunlun forever.

Tie Shan's expression was full of remorse, the whole person curled up in a ball, Zhang Hump didn't know how to comfort his friends, some people and things he saw more than him. Silently walked over to the corpses and tried his best to drag them together. It is impossible to take it away, how much can people be buried, and the violent corpse wilderness is inevitably too sad.

dragged two of them, and suddenly realized that something was wrong. "Iron Mountain! Come on, come and help me put these bodies together. ”

Tie Shan heard Zhang Hump's shout, got up from the snowdrift, calmed down, walked over, looked at the corpse next to Zhang Hump, frowned, and asked with doubts: "Old Zhang, what's the matter?" ”

"It's not that I'm making a fuss, just now we were in a hurry to save people, and we weren't in the mood to think about it at all. You think, we are in Kunlun Mountain, not Mount Everest, and the climatic conditions between the two are very different. This is the western inland, and after coming all these years, it is obvious that the rain is less than a year, and the climate is very dry. The possibility of avalanche occurrence is not high, even if it is caused by a snowstorm, this is a gentle slope, but anyone who has common sense knows that avalanches often occur on mountain slopes with an inclination of 25°~50°. If the mountain is too steep, it will not form a thick enough snow, and a slope that is too small is less likely to produce an avalanche. ”

"No, then what do you mean, you say I'm tricking you? Oh, I don't have to make up a reason to get you, look at these corpses again, do I have what it takes? Tie Shan's mood was very unstable at the moment, and he only heard Zhang Huofeng's suspicion at once, but he didn't understand the meaning behind him.

"Don't get excited, don't get excited." Zhang Hump rubbed his hair helplessly, "I don't suspect you, the avalanche must have happened, the scene here is obvious, I'm not dwelling on this, but the cause, do you know the cause?" Damn it, someone you! ”
