"You're really not going with me?" Bill asked.

She shook her head, "You have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death."

"Since you insist on doing this, I will not persuade you anymore."

Bill fell asleep, but Xu Xiangsi couldn't sleep.

She curled up in her sleeping bag, opened the round photo of her daughter, and looked at it quietly, her gaze gradually softening.

The girl's love for Leng Mo, the cold father who does not smile, may not be inferior to her at all.

If the cold ink is really gone, what should this girl do?

As soon as this thought sprung up in his mind, Xu Xiangsi shook his head vigorously, as if he wanted to try to get rid of this terrible thought.

"Baby, don't worry, I will definitely find your father, I will."

The screen flickered and plunged into darkness.

Xu Xiangsi was a little panicked, held the mobile phone and fiddled with it for a while, and finally put it down in frustration.

The power is out.

Since climbing the Southern Alps, every night, Xu Xiangsi will fall asleep looking at the photos of her daughter.

Now, Leng Mo is not around, and even this only spiritual sustenance is gone.

She fell asleep in a daze, and after some time, a cold wind made her shiver.

When you wake up, you find that she is the only one in this narrow grotto.

Bill is gone.

"Bill, Bill, where are you?"

She tried to shout outside, but all she could answer was the howling cold wind.

It's icy and snowy outside, could it be that he encountered some danger when he went out?

This was the first thought that came to Xu Xiangsi's mind, she was worried about the flamboyant man.

No, I'm going to have to look for it.

As she thought so, she suddenly noticed something unusual.

The backpack next to it seemed to have been turned over, and it was a mess inside.

She quickly looked through it, only to find that all the mountaineering tools inside were gone, and what was even more terrifying was that the only remaining oxygen tank was gone.

For a while, Xu Xiangsi's brain was "buzzing" to the extreme, and an unbelievable thought appeared in his heart.

She got out of the cave and climbed to the cliff, only to see a faint light swaying halfway down the mountainside below.

"Bill!" Xu Xiangsi shouted at the light below, "What are you doing here?" ”

In the cold wind below, a response came.

"I'm sorry, Miss Xu! I gave you a chance, but you didn't want to go with me, but you wanted to stay here and die! ”

"How can you do that?"

Xu Xiangsi suddenly shouted eagerly, "You can take anything away and leave the oxygen cylinder to me!" ”

"Anyway, it's a dead end for you to stay here, so you might as well use it for me! You want to die, but I want to live! ”

Bill's words made Xu Xiangsi feel deep despair.

A sense of powerlessness hit her, and she fell to the cold snow.

She knew that Bill was not a serious person, but at best he was a flamboyant prodigal, but she didn't expect that he was actually this kind of person.

For the first time in his life, Xu Xiangsi felt the ugly heart of people in a desperate situation.

Hot tears flowed down her pale cheeks, and she seemed to be unwilling again, screaming hoarsely to the bottom of the cliff.

"You will be punished!!"

The light below is gone.

Bill never answered her again, and the sinister man stole everything from her and fled.

Xu Xiangsi originally had a very serious altitude sickness, and when he roared emotionally just now, he suddenly felt dizzy.

She struggled back into the cave, quickly put on the oxygen mask, and took a look.

The remaining half tank of oxygen can only last for about two hours.

She knew that she would not live long, and that in this little grotto, she would die quietly and alone, and no one knew about it.

Despair, a strong sense of despair welled up, and she shed tears of remorse.

It shouldn't have come.

Go to its treasures! She doesn't want anything now, she just wants to see Leng Mo, the living Leng Mo.

Then, return home safely with him and spend the rest of her life with her daughter safely, what a happy thing it should be?

After sitting in a daze for a while, Xu Xiangsi picked up the mobile phone that had already been cut off, and took advantage of the weak light of the bonfire on the side to arrange his hair on the screen.

Since he is destined to die, of course he must die a decent death. She didn't want to be found out in the future, looking unkempt and embarrassed.

But suddenly, she wanted to laugh.

It's all at this point, what are you still thinking?

I don't know how many years later, when the climbers found her, she was either a big popsicle or only a skeleton remained...... Where does decency come from?

Xu Xiangsi got into the sleeping bag again, looked at the red bonfire, and slowly closed his eyes.

She had never been so desperate to fall asleep. Because when you fall asleep, you may not feel the pain and struggle before death.

She had a dream, a beautiful dream.

It's still that cold home, it's still that garden. The old butler respectfully welcomed her out of the car, smiling kindly.

"Miss, are you back?"

At sunset, Yuan Yuan sat on a swing, and his laughter was as crisp as a silver bell.

Behind the swing, Leng Mo pushed quietly, looking at her with deep and charming eyes, beckoning to her.

The pressure of the oxygen cylinder was close to zero, but Xu Xiangsi's face did not have a trace of pain at all, and the corners of his mouth gradually rose.

She indulged in beautiful dreams.

She smiled and approached Leng Mo and her daughter, the man holding her hand, the expression on his face was so tender that it was a little unreal.

Suddenly, the man turned into a vicious look, raised his hand and slapped her.

Xu Xiangsi was suddenly beaten, covered his face, and looked at him in disbelief.

The man suddenly stared at her viciously and let out a hoarse growl.

"Xu Xiangsi, you sober me up!"

Awake......

So why let her come to her senses, is she, not sober enough now?

The man, who was still infinitely tender, suddenly grabbed her, and his expression became so terrifying.

"Wake up! I don't want you to die, I want you to live!! ”

Xu Xiangsi shook his head blankly, "You...... What are you talking about, am I not alive? ”

As soon as the words fell, it was another slap, and the hot pain was so real.

Xu Xiangsi woke up suddenly.

To be precise, she was awakened alive.

In front of me, the beautiful scene under the sunset changed dramatically in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a cold grotto.

The garden is gone, and Yuanyuan is gone, but the cold ink is still there.

He looked like a dusty man, his hair had turned into ice, and his eyes burned when he saw her wake up.

"Sisi, are you awake?!"

Because of the lack of oxygen, Xu Xiangsi's brain fell into a short state of downtime.

When she came back to her senses, she stretched out her trembling hand with difficulty and touched his cheek.

It's cold, but there's still a hint of warmth, it's very real.

"Cold Ink...... Is it really you? Her voice trembled uncontrollably.

"It's me."

A sour feeling welled up in my heart and spread all the way to the tip of my nose.

She hugged the man, hugged him tightly, and cried out like a child's "wow" in his warm arms.

"Leng Mo, you bastard! It's great that you're alive, it's great......"

The man was slightly stunned, and then his cold eyebrows gradually softened.

He hugged the aggrieved and frightened woman in his arms tightly and patted her on the back gently.

"It's okay, it's okay."

Leng Mo sat down next to the fire, and Xu Xiangsi rested on his lap. Completely relieved, she is like a lazy kitten.

"Do you know how scared I was when I didn't see you, how the hell did you survive?"

Leng Mo explained slowly.

"I was taken down by an avalanche at the time, but fortunately there was no major problem. I've been looking for you everywhere, and I heard your voice vaguely before, so I'm looking for you. ”

As he spoke, Leng Mo glanced at the grotto, "Where's that guy Bill?" ”

As soon as the name was mentioned, the roots of Xu Xiangsi's teeth itched.

"Besides, Bill is a big bastard! While I was asleep, he stole all my climbing tools, not even the oxygen cylinder, and ran for his life alone. ”

The man's brows furrowed, and his calm gaze instantly sank.

Damn it!

He had already noticed that there was something wrong with Bill, but he didn't expect him to be such a desperate person!

"Hmph, don't let me see him again, or ......"

Speaking of this, Xu Xiangsi was inevitably emotional, and almost didn't catch his breath.

"Put it on!"

Leng Mo hurriedly took out his oxygen tank from his bag and put it on Xu Xiangsi, which was better.

Then, he spread out another map, as if studying something carefully.

Xu Xiangsi leaned forward and asked curiously, "Where are we now?" ”

"Here."

"So, how far is it from the treasure?"

"It's not far, about a hundred meters."

Xu Xiangsi's expression was a little solemn, looking at the map, his eyes gradually became a little complicated.

Leng Mo glanced at her lightly, "I know what you're thinking. ”
