When the wine came to the back, I was also very drunk.

I was so drunk that things were basically broken from the three of us to the end of the day, but I vaguely remember who seemed to help me back to sleep, and I seemed to kiss people as smoke and rain, and she also said a lot to me along the way, but what did she say? I don't remember at all, I don't even remember who she is, I only remember her faint body fragrance.

The next day I was woken up in a daze by a messenger, who saluted me and said, "Comrade, our commander invites you to the hall." ”

"Good! Got it, thanks. I carried my head like dozens of pounds, washed up briefly, and then went straight to the hall, and as soon as I entered the hall, I saw that everyone who had been drinking last night was there.

"Nephew, how are you resting?" As soon as I entered the hall, Uncle Wang first cared about me.

"Ok! I drank too much and had a bit of a headache. I said and sat down beside the fat man.

"Then I'm on topic," Uncle Wang said, pointing to a package on the table, "You sent this package, right?" Nephew. ”

I saw that the package was a little familiar, so I opened it and saw that the package was a few sapper shovels and my scimitar, and I secretly screamed in my heart that it was not good, and I forgot about the package last night when I was only concerned about drinking.

"What are you doing here this time?" Uncle Wang is not angry and arrogant.

Things have come to this point, and I have nothing to worry about, so I shook out all the questions in my heart: "Uncle Wang, I want to know what happened nineteen years ago?" Why would my dad say I almost lost my life on Mount Everest? ”

Uncle Wang raised his eyes to look at me and sighed, "You're here for this?" ”

"Almost," I replied.

"Didn't Lao Wu tell you?" Uncle Wang looked at me in surprise.

"Nope! My dad has always avoided the events of that year, and has always been tight-lipped about it, Uncle Wang! Just let me beg you, tell me. I looked at Uncle Wang with pleading eyes.

"Since Lao Wu didn't tell you, then naturally he has a reason, and I don't want to say more." Uncle Wang said again, "Wu Nian! Don't be too persistent, there are some things that should be let go, your father asked your uncle to change your name to Wu Nian, doesn't he just want you to be free of distraction. ”

Despite my constant pleading, Uncle Wang remained indifferent and resolute.

In the end, I could only reluctantly give up the question, leaving a sentence of "Uncle Wang!" I'm sorry to bother you, but Wu Nian really can't let it go, so I can only find the answer by myself. With that, I got up and took my leave.

Then the fat man, Xiao Jing and Yanzi counted the equipment with me, and then resolutely left, just when they arrived at the door, Lan Xin caught up with "Ah Wang!" I'll go with you. ”

I rejected Lan Xin's request and said, "We have a lot of luck all the way on this trip, so don't come with us." ”

"I went with you to investigate the case," Lan Xin said here, paused and said again, "And I can't rest assured of you." ”

I was stunned for a moment, then Lan Xin took my hand and said, "Okay!" Let's go. "So we went to Mount Everest, two men and three women, in a group of five.

On the way, I learned from Lan Xin's mouth that she had been admitted to Interpol a month before, and because she solved the case of Kuishou last time and implicated the case of the mysterious tattoo organization, her superiors handed over the case of this mysterious organization to Lan Xin.

After Lanxin's investigation, it was found that if you want to unravel the background of the mysterious organization, you have to start with the operation they organized nineteen years ago, Lanxin was originally going to cooperate with the military, but because this investigation was her private operation, she did not get the assistance of the military, so Lanxin simply went with us in a fit of anger to find clues.

Since there are still more than 600 kilometers from Lhasa to Mount Everest, Lanxin came by car, so this time the five of us are equivalent to a self-driving trip.

Me, the fat man, and Lanxin took turns driving.

Since I was anxious to find the truth and the whereabouts of the smoke and rain, we would have been non-stop along the way, except for necessary stops such as convenience and refueling of cars.

The magnificent scenery on the way, we are just when the fireworks are flashed, let them disappear with the dust raised by the car, after all, our trip is not for fun, the closer we get to Mount Everest, the more my heart hangs.

After all, Mount Everest, the main peak of the Himalayas, is the world's tallest and known as the world's highest peak, and as of 2005, the state has measured that the sea is more than 8,000 meters, and how many bones have been buried under the strong winds of its snowy mountains.

As far as I know, the Himalayan region, where Mount Everest is located, was originally a vast sea in ancient times, and later due to the long geological time, a large amount of gravel and sediment were washed away from the land.

With the change of the sun and the moon and the passage of time, gravel and sediment have accumulated in the Himalayas for many years to form marine sedimentary rock layers with a thickness of more than 30,000 meters, and then due to strong orogeny, the Himalayas were squeezed and violently uplifted, and then evolved into Mount Everest.

It's no wonder that nature is the real artist, and it is such a unique masterpiece that makes people marvel at the uniqueness, and it is this mysterious world that makes me feel the most worried.

We drove for nearly twelve hours before we arrived at the Everest base camp under Mount Everest.

As far as I know, the Everest base camp is a protected area set up to protect the environment of the core area of Mount Everest, it is located at an altitude of 5,200 meters, and the straight-line distance from the summit of Mount Everest is about 19 kilometers.

When I arrived at the base camp, I could see the colorful flags fluttering in the wind, as well as various tented hotels, cafes, shops, and even the post office.

The swallow who had just come out of the house was like a curious baby, regardless of altitude sickness, only consulted east and west, ran here for a while, looked at it for a while, and suddenly patted me on the shoulder and asked in surprise, "Ah Wang!" What is that? ”

I looked over and saw a few reflectors facing the sun, and I replied, "It's solar panels, which are used to light this place at night." ”

Since it was late when we arrived at the base camp, for safety reasons, we first found a family house to rest, and planned to set off tomorrow morning to climb the mountain.

We live in a tent that looks like half a ball on the ground, and here we call this kind of tent a ball tent, which at first glance really looks like half a ball buckled on the ground, round and bulging, and there are plastic transparent paper windows for lighting in the ball tent.

After dinner, everyone discussed their plans for tomorrow's climbing.

The fat man was the first to ask, "Ngawang, although from the information given by the kuishou, you have analyzed that Yanyu has something to do with you when you were seven years old, but where are we going to Mount Everest tomorrow to find clues?" And why did you tell me last time that Yanyu's disappearance had something to do with Mount Everest? ”

Actually, I'm here to try my luck, because I don't want to let go of any clues that can be found in the smoke and rain.

I pressed my temples with my hand, frowned tightly and said, "Fatty, do you remember the last time we "searched for Gu and touched gold", we accidentally found an ancient tomb, which was the ancient tomb of the demon man. ”

The fat man nodded and said, "You must remember, we almost didn't get out that time." ”

I said, "Yes, that time, the relief we saw in the crack road of the sinkhole, do you remember, there is a relief on a woman with eyes like smoke and rain, do you remember?" ”

"Remember, but what does that mean?" The fat man asked rhetorically.

"Think about it, first of all, the woman's eyes on the relief are like Yanyu, and secondly, we see the portrait of Yanyu in the "blood sacrifice coffin", and what is the Yanyu neck hanging on the portrait? Think about it. "At this point, I stopped.

After the fat man's eyes were thoughtful for a moment, he responded, "It's the Nuwa Stone that Uncle Nine said." ”

I continued, "That's right! Then think about it again, where did we see that Nuwa stone in addition to the portrait? ”

The fat man paused, suddenly slapped his thigh, and suddenly realized, "Oh! I see, on a relief in the gap of the sinkhole, it is the Fu Demon Man holding the Nuwa Stone, and you explained that the Fu Demon Man wanted to send the Nuwa Stone back to Mount Everest.

And these clues add up to make you think that Mount Everest can find the reason for Yanyu's disappearance, isn't it? ”

I smiled slightly and said, "The fat third brother is not stupid, the son can be taught, my intuition tells me that Yanyu must have a relationship with the ancient tomb, if I guessed correctly, there should be some story between Yanyu and the demon man......"

Xiao Jing heard this and interrupted my conversation with the fat man, "Wait, what are the ancient tombs, Nuwa stones, and demon demons you are talking about." ”

"That's right! We also want to know. Lan Xin and Yanzi also said in unison with a curious face.

The fat man told him what happened after Lan Xin and Xiao Jing left the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain last time.

After Xiao Jing heard this, she was dumbfounded, and said slowly, "Ah Wang, if according to what you said, Yanyu knows the Fu Demon Man, and the Fu Demon Man has been dead for more than 6,000 years, then wouldn't your Yanyu have lived for more than 6,000 years?" ”

Although I didn't want to admit this possibility, I nodded silently, paused and said, "Since Yanyu's disappearance, I have been constantly analyzing what I know about Yanyu, and finally came to this conclusion. ”

At this point, I sighed, "It's just my intuition, but you know, my intuition is usually the same. ”

"No wonder the last time I and the fat man made a plan for you and Yanyu, Uncle Nine said that Yanyu is not just a ghost, and even Uncle Nine can't tell what it is." Xiao Jing muttered to herself, and suddenly thought of something, and said, "Do you think Yanyu will be a demon?" ”

I shook my head and said, "No, last time Bing'er told me that she could feel that Yanyu had a strong energy, but she was neither a ghost nor a demon, and she couldn't tell what Bing'er was." ”

The fat man waved his hand in front of me and said, "Don't discuss the identity of your Yanyu now, the point is that your analysis just now only knows that Mount Everest may find the reason for Yanyu's disappearance, but what about the specific location?"

If you don't even have the specific location of the big Mount Everest, and you don't even have a basic coordinates, it's not a needle in a haystack, it's more difficult than the last time you found Uncle Shangguan in the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, do you know? ”

Just when I was having a headache, Lan Xin spoke, "If according to Ngawang's analysis, Yanyu may also have something to do with his seven-year-old amnesia, then we just need to start with what happened more than ten years ago, and then solve the mystery step by step, so that there are traces to follow."

And it just so happens that I am now in charge of investigating the secret operations of the mysterious organization back then, so I have the coordinates of the crime scene back then. ”

Lanxin's message made me feel like I had found a water source in the desert, and this feeling was not beyond joy enough to describe, and I even wanted to hug her and kiss her.

With the coordinates in hand, the next step is to plan the climbing route, and as far as I know, mankind has reached the summit of Everest through nineteen different routes, two of which have become full-fledged commercial routes, and the other seventeen have been crossed by climbers at different points in time.

There is a traditional ascent route on the south and north sides of Mount Everest. The traditional route on the south side is the easiest way up the hill from the west side of the West Kum Cirque to the southeast ridge.

The most difficult sections on the south side, such as the Terror Glacier to the Lhotse Ice Wall to the Hillary Steps, have ropes and ladders, which are built by various climbing teams at a cost, and climbers already have the right to pass.

But we are not simply climbing, so the traditional route does not reach our destination, judging from the data coordinate map of Mount Everest, we have to change the route to the southeast ridge Khumbu Glacier here, and change the route to the north side.

According to the drawings, this place will pass through the thin glacier belt like cicada wings, and will also meet the ice shore, and I heard that there are many highland snow beasts here, it seems that this trip is also full of dangers, and life hangs by a thread.

Therefore, I asked everyone in a heavy tone, "Brothers and sisters, this trip must be auspicious, I must go myself, you make your own decisions, we don't force this kind of thing." ”

The fat man was the first to say, "Ah Wang, you don't talk a damn nonsense, my brother has followed you all the way here, are you here to travel?" I also told you, it's not exciting enough, it's not adventurous enough, it's a regular road, and I don't see it in my eyes, fat brother. ”

"Yes! Ngawang, don't persuade me, everyone has one heart" Lan Xin said and looked at me, and I felt more than friendship in her eyes.

I looked at everyone, only to see the fat man, Xiao Jing, Yanzi and Lan Xin all nodded resolutely, and suddenly a warm feeling came to my heart, making my blood boil.

I pulled out my scimitar and plunged the tip of the knife into the coordinates of our destination, "Just do it!" Saying that, I stretched out my hand, and then the fat man also stretched out his hand and put it on the back of my hand, and then Xiaojing, Lanxin and Yanzi, all of them stretched out their palms and pressed one by one, from the eyes of everyone, I saw that I was unswerving, and I regarded death as home.

"For brothers, for sisters, let's be in the same boat, rain or shine." With the fat man's slogan, everyone smiled slightly, and I was vaguely uneasy in my heart.

After the route was discussed, the swallows clamored to go out to see the scenery.

"Oops! Little girl, don't make trouble, what scenery can you see at night. "I don't want to go out because it's cold and snowy outside.

The swallow pursed her lips and took my hand and dangled it around, "Ngawang!" Please, come with me to see it. "Yanzi, a little girl under twenty years old, is also soft and soft, I really can't resist.

"It's so cold outside, what's the romance of whatever, I'll freeze you into a dog later." Seeing this, the fat man wrapped his down jacket tighter and said.

Swallow didn't refute the fat man, just stuck out her tongue and made a grimace, and then ignored the fat man, and continued to let me go out for a walk with her.

In the end, I compromised and accompanied the swallow out, Lan Xin thought that the tent was stuffy and came out to breathe, and our front feet just came out, and the fat man's back feet also came out.

"Why isn't the fat brother afraid of being frozen into a dog?" Seeing this, I couldn't help but tease the fat man.

The fat man shivered, rubbed his index finger under his nose, wrapped his clothes tightly, and said with a hippie smile, "Because of love", and quickly caught up with Xiao Jing, who was walking in front, and walked side by side with her.

The four of us found an open space to sit down, and the fat man and I were going to light a cigarette, but due to the plateau, my lighter always couldn't be lit, and finally it was the fat man's oil-burning zippo lighter that lit the cigarette.

If you want to say that this trip did not come out in vain, it was just in time for the aurora, which is a brilliant and colorful luminous phenomenon produced by the flow of high-energy charged particles from the Earth's magnetosphere and the sun, which excite molecules or atoms in the upper atmosphere.

I saw that the aurora in the sky was colorful and diverse, sometimes in a band, sometimes in an arc. The colorful and ever-changing aurora is like a colored pen accidentally leaving a few strokes in the sky, which is so beautiful that it is breathtaking.

Just as everyone was looking at the magnificent aurora in the night sky, I accidentally saw a figure in the tent where we lived, secretly rummaging through boxes and cabinets under the light.

My first reaction was to look around me first, and after making sure that everyone was outside watching the aurora, I reacted that the tent had been infiltrated, and I immediately told the fat man, and then took the lead in rushing to the tent.

As soon as I poked my head into the tent, I saw a white shadow fleeing through the window of the tent, and the inside of the tent was turned into a mess, as if it were about to move.

Seeing this, I immediately said to Lan Xin and the three women, "You guys, check what you lost." Then he called the fat man to chase in the direction of the white shadow's escape.

Less than fifty meters after chasing it, I saw that the white image was like the wind, and it disappeared in the direction of Mount Everest in a flash.

I didn't catch up with the figure, and the fat man and I had to give up and return to the ball tent, and when they arrived at the ball tent, Lan Xin and the others had already packed up their things.

"How do you catch it?" Lanxin is the first to open.

The fat man and I shook our heads and sighed in unison.

"Do you know who it is?" Xiao Jing asked.

I sighed, "Look at the figure, it should be a woman," and I asked Lan Xin, "What have we all been stolen?" ”

"Compasses, oxygen cylinders, and other bits and pieces of mountaineering tools." Speaking of this, Lan Xin frowned, sighed and said, "And these things are extremely lacking, the supply is insufficient, I just went to the store to ask, the compass and oxygen cylinder are gone." ”

"It seems that someone deliberately didn't let us go up the mountain, what do you think is the purpose?" I asked Lanxin.

Lan Xin crossed his hands in front of his chest and replied, "I don't know, but when I first arrived at the Everest base camp, I always felt as if someone was secretly peeping at us, but I wasn't sure at first, so I didn't tell you." ”

Anyway, now, I can only break through the difficulties and move forward, no matter who wants to stop me from entering the mountain, I will not give up, as soon as I think of knowing why Yanyu left me, I made up my mind to enter the mountain at any cost even if I am alone, I said to everyone, "Everyone take turns to rest tonight, and leave two to stand guard, lest the mysterious man come back." ”

Everyone agreed on my approach.

Xiao Jing asked to stand guard with me first, and the fat man saw that Xiao Jing had something to say to me, so he agreed.

In the middle of the night, when I was standing guard, I was afraid that smoking would pollute the air in the tent, so I smoked outside alone.

After a while, Xiao Jing also came out and sat next to me, we looked at each other and smiled, and then looked at the starry night sky, listening to the cold wind roaring.

"It's another night like this! There are two of us left," Xiao Jing opened first.

"Huh? What the? I asked, puzzled.

"The night before we went to the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain last time, it was also such a night sky, you were also thinking about the smoke and rain, and I was also quietly beside you." Xiao Jing said and sighed.

When I just wanted to speak, Xiao Jing interrupted me and rushed to the front, "Ah Wang, don't speak, listen to me, I know that you can't hold anyone in your heart except smoke and rain, I was in the hospital for a few days, when my life was hanging by a thread, I hoped to see you come to see me many times, but you never came once, but the fat man came to take care of me every day, taking care of me meticulously."

At that time, I said to the fat man, I have you in my heart, but the stupid fat man just said that it doesn't matter, he can wait for me to like him" Xiao Jing smiled sweetly when she said this, but I still felt a little helplessness and a touch of sadness in this smile.

Then Xiao Jing continued, "Maybe people are like this, they only pay attention to the every move of the person you like, but they don't know the every move of the person who likes you. Ngawang, you are like this, I am like this, including the fat man. ”

Xiao Jing's words really touched my heart, but I couldn't say anything, I wanted to comfort Xiao Jing, but I just couldn't say it.

"Ngawang! Let's be good friends, I'm tired, the fat man is good to me, I think I should give people who like me a chance, but also give myself a chance. Xiao Jing said silently shed a tear, and in the night light I saw the tears flash, crossing Xiao Jing's cheeks that were red by the cold wind.

When I couldn't help but reach out to wipe away the tears, Xiao Jing dodged for a while, refused, and said, "Ah Wang, don't be so gentle, you are too gentle, for every woman, so I let my feelings become very complicated." ”

Xiao Jing wiped away her tears as she spoke, got up and returned to the ball tent, and gave me a sentence before leaving, "Ah Wang, you have to remember that love is sometimes selfish, after all, it is the relationship of two people, so you can no longer be the same tenderness and care for every woman." ”

Xiao Jing's words pierced my heart deeply, like a blow to my head, and made me fall into deep thought.

It wasn't until I woke up the fat man and Lan Xin in the second half of the night and asked them to keep vigil that I went back to sleep, tossing and turning, and it was difficult to sleep.

……
