After a while, Xia Ruobing waited for Mr. Min to calm down a bit, and asked in a low voice, "What happened later?" ”

"I took her through the gourd, but she couldn't hold on anymore, and I alone couldn't take her down the mountain...... Thereupon...... So I ...... I asked her to wait for me there, and I went down the mountain to find the rescue team......" Mr. Min was heartbroken, and he didn't expect this parting to be 20 years......

Mr. Min returned to the forward base at the bottom of the mountain two days later, but the weather became very bad, no one was willing to go up the mountain to rescue, everyone advised Mr. Min to give up, no one could hold out for too long in the high mountain with broken ribs, at this altitude, pulmonary edema would kill her in 12 hours, Mr. Min knelt in the middle of the camp, begging all the people in the forward base, as long as he was willing to save Shi Yingbing, he was willing to give everything......

Finally someone was moved, the rescue team in a very unsuitable day for mountaineering, in the dark of night to venture up the mountain, to help Mr. Min for the less than one ten-thousandth hope, three days later, the rescue team in the snowstorm came to Hulukou, but there was no one there, Shi Yingbing was not there, not in the stone crevice that Mr. Min had told not to leave......

Mr. Min's Bing'er disappeared like this, disappearing under the Peak of the Dead, disappearing on her way to trace the footsteps of her ancestors......

"She's trying to move down the hill to make your rescue better." Xia Ruobing was also moved, she didn't dare to imagine what kind of severe pain this girl endured when the cold wind was howling, slowly moving down the mountain from the mouth of the gourd, maybe she only had one belief at that time, close to her lover, her lover would come to save her, as long as she tried to move one step forward, her lover could take one less step......

However, the Peak of the Dead was not moved by her, she tried to move to this ice hill, only a few hundred meters away from the mouth of the gourd, the ice cracked, she fell into the ice crevice, in order to wait for the arrival of her lover, she lit the small gas stove that extended her life, hugged her knees, squatted here like a kitten and waited for her lover's arrival, but this wait, it was 20 years......

"In the past, I was busy with work, she waited for me, she was tired of waiting, curled up and squatted like a kitten, waiting for me to coax her......" Mr. Min looked at the curled ice sculpture beauty in front of him lovingly, and said in a low voice, but this time, no matter how she coaxed, she could no longer stand up, and she could no longer hold her arm like before, shouting to let herself buy delicious food to make her happy......

Mr. Min's forehead had already crept into wrinkles, and she was still so beautiful, squatting here, waiting for her lover......

It all seems to have happened yesterday, and 20 years have passed!

The search and rescue team searched the mountain for 5 days, but no trace was found, the snowstorm was getting bigger and bigger, and there were several avalanches, the search and rescue team could only retreat, Mr. Min failed to find his beloved Bing'er, she disappeared under the Peak of the Dead, and her soul followed Loulan's ancestors, leaving guilt and sadness to Mr. Min......

Mr. Min has thought more than once about what it would be like if the reunion was repeated, maybe she didn't wait for the rescue team, she miraculously went down the mountain, she resented that she didn't come back to her, she hid in the sea of people, hiding in a corner that Mr. Min didn't know, maybe she was already married and had children, and lived peacefully somewhere in the world.

But it's all fantasy, and she's been waiting for herself here, curled up like a kitten for 20 years......

Mr. Min left here with grief, a month later he heard that Xia Ruobing's parents disappeared in the coffin mountain, and almost all the information about Loulan they carried was lost, it took Mr. Min three years to get back on his feet, he wanted to finish what Bing'er had not done, he sorted out the information left by Shi Yingbing, and continued to collect everything about Loulan, for Loulan, he became an antique dealer, as long as there were rumors about Loulan anywhere in the world, Mr. Min would do whatever it took to ......

Only then did Xia Ruobing know why Mr. Min was obsessed with Loulan's secret, he was atoning for his sins, atonement for his failure to bring back his lover!

"Actually, you already know who I am......" Xia Ruobing remembered that Mr. Min had always taken good care of him, was it because of his parents?

"I know that Teacher Xia Yan left a daughter, but I didn't know it was you at first, I prepared for 20 years to rearrange the broken clues about Loulan, I thought that Coffin Mountain would be a breakthrough point, so I invited Wang Xingguo and Chen Badai, I met you there, and I realized that you are Teacher Xia Yan's daughter......" Mr. Min said honestly, "But I don't want you to know these past ......"

"Are you afraid that we won't help you?" Xia Ruobing asked.

"The death of your parents has a lot to do with me, but I need your profession to find Loulan's secret...... I'm sorry, Xia Ruobing, I'm hiding a lot of things. ”

From Mr. Min's point of view, Xia Ruobing believes that Mr. Min's concealment is not wrong, and people often use one mistake to cover up another mistake. If it was in normal times, Xia Ruobing would think that Mr. Min was hypocritical, but by Shi Yingbing's side, Xia Ruobing thought that he could be forgiven for doing this.

Xia Ruobing is much more relaxed, Mr. Min is not a bad person, but he carries too much pain and guilt.

"Your parents took away a large part of Loulan's research materials, and I know that you will inherit these materials, and I am using you." Mr. Min said.

Xia Ruobing moved her gaze to the backpack left by Shi Yingbing, the backpack mouth was open, it should be that she didn't close it properly after opening it when she took out the gas stove, Xia Ruobing walked over and reached out to pull it into the backpack.

The backpack had long been frozen stiff, and in the main bag was a sleeping bag, and there were no other superfluous things, Xia Ruobing took a lot of effort to open the side pocket, and a few signal sticks fell out of it, Xia Ruobing put it aside first, and found a notebook from the inner layer of the side pocket, the notebook had been frozen hard, Xia Ruobing carefully opened it, this is Shi Yingbing's notes.

"We're not far from that cave! It's right on the mouth of the gourd! Xia Ruobing looked at the pictures and words in the notes, and Shi Yingbing recorded the record of the Undead Peak in detail.

"Yes, we're not that far away." Mr. Min whispered, "But what's the point now?" It's been 20 years, and I'm finally back with her, she's been so cold and lonely all these years, and she wants me to stay with her......"

Mr. Min sat down against Shi Yingbing, gently took Shi Yingbing into his arms, and sang in a low voice, as if coaxing her to sleep......

Xia Ruobing searched for everything that could be used in Shi Yingbing's backpack, and the other notebook recorded more information about Loulan, but other than that, there was not much equipment that could be used to save herself.

As if Mr. Min didn't see it, he hummed softly, patted Shi Yingbing's shoulder, and slowly closed his eyes.

"Mr. Min, we have to find a way to get out!" Xia Ruobing said to Mr. Min.

Mr. Min didn't answer, humming a song with his eyes closed.

"Mr. Min!" Xia Ruobing urged again.

"I'm tired, you go, I'm here to accompany her." Mr. Min whispered.

Seeing that Mr. Min had lost his fighting spirit, Xia Ruobing had no better way at this time, she gritted her teeth and stuffed a few signal sticks left by Shi Yingbing into her pocket: "I'll go find the exit, and I'll tell you when I find it!" ”

"I'm here with her...... Bing'er, I'm not leaving this time, I'm not going to leave again......"

On the high mountains, death is sometimes not because of injury, but because of the loss of fighting spirit, the loss of fighting spirit will give up all possibilities of survival, and then slowly die in the cold, stiff, Mr. Min has given up, but Xia Ruobing does not want to die like Shi Yingbing, she believes that Wang Xingguo will come back to her, just like Shi Yingbing 20 years ago, I believe that Mr. Min will come back to find her......

Xia Ruobing doesn't want to become Shi Yingbing, she doesn't want to slowly freeze to death in this ice crevice, and her lover only finds herself after 20 years, except for mourning, he can't do anything for himself anymore!

After the avalanche, the snow layer is still fluffy, and in some places it is possible that the ice cracks are not covered by the snow, that is their only hope of survival, Xia Ruobing glanced at Shi Yingbing, she took trust in Mr. Min, and fought for the last glimmer of hope for survival, although she failed, but she trusted and fought after all!

"Xia Ruobing, you won't be like her!" Xia Ruobing secretly said to herself, "Wang Xingguo must not be dead, he will definitely come back to you!" ”

20 years of guilt, 20 years of hard work, 20 years of facing all kinds of people with masks, 20 years of walking all over the earth to pursue the secrets of Loulan, Mr. Min is tired, he is really tired, what Loulan's treasures, what money, what reputation, even if he has the largest collection of Loulan in the world, so what? When he saw his lover who had been waiting for him for 20 years, all his beliefs collapsed, and for Mr. Min, it didn't matter anymore, after confessing everything to Xia Ruobing, he was much more relaxed.

Mr. Min hummed softly, he didn't want anything now, he just wanted to stay by Shi Yingbing's side and make up for his lack of companionship for 20 years, even if he accompanied her here and died slowly, let the glacier become his and her permanent grave, and stay here with her for a long time!

"Mr. Min, hold on, I'll be back!" Xia Ruobing walked along the ice crack for a while, and when she looked back, she saw that Mr. Min seemed to be asleep, and the song he hummed in a low voice echoed in the ice crevice, she felt very uneasy and shouted to Mr. Min.
