Chapter 104: The Aftermath of the Catastrophe

It was cold all over his body, but he felt a hot pain on his face. As I slowly opened my eyes, I was convinced that I had died, to the legendary hell. It's just weird that this hell is very different from what I imagined. In front of me was a white expanse, and the strong sunlight was shining directly on my face, and my eyes were stinging.

Strange, how can there be sunlight in hell? What's even more incredible is that although my whole body is stiff and almost numb, my face feels like the sun is burning.

No, I'm not dead, I'm still alive in this world! Hope suddenly welled up in my heart. Where is this? How could I be here? It's strange, didn't I jump into that terrible lake that the dragon's heart had turned into? How could I be in this place that scares me so strangely and dreadingly at this moment?

There was a deathly silence all around, except for the occasional tick of melting snow around them. It took a long time for my neck to feel a little soothed and my eyes to adjust to the strong reflections. I twisted my neck slowly and with difficulty, and looked around for a few moments before I realized that I was on an unknown glacier.

There was snow everywhere, large patches of ice glowing in the sun, and small patches of almost black frozen soil exposed to the ice.

Soft things spewed hot air on my face from time to time, and on my left, there was a big golden dog licking my face.

This is a thin but huge golden retriever, looking at its clear eyes, I was suddenly moved, perhaps it is this golden retriever who keeps licking me, so that I can save my last breath of life, and not let me freeze to death in this vast glacier.

The sun was getting higher and higher, my body was getting warmer, and my fingers were starting to bend and stretch. I was surprised and at the same time I felt so lucky. I don't understand how there can be a golden retriever in this glacier, and I'm glad that it was this golden retriever, not a Tibetan mastiff or other beast.

Looking at the scrawny body of the Golden Retriever, I kind of understood that it must have been abandoned by its owner or lost its way after running away to the glacier by itself and becoming a poor wandering dog.

At this moment, on the glacier, there are one man and one dog, although I can't express their feelings in their own words, but I can feel its kindness from the barking it sees when I wake up excitedly. The Golden Retriever naturally likes to be close to people, perhaps because it has been on this glacier for many days, and suddenly it will seem very kind when it suddenly sees me!

I stretched out my hand and stroked its long golden hair, which was warmed by the sun, and I felt a lot of warmth.

My hands were finally able to move freely and my body was slowly regaining its senses. It doesn't matter to me how I came out of that mysterious lake and suddenly appeared in the middle of a glacier. At least I'm still alive, which means that I was right in the cave where the dragon's body was incarnated. The lake transformed by the dragon's heart was the only way out of my predicament, and the tunnel transformed by the dragon's body was actually just an illusion, and the gold nuggets made of the two dragon scales inside were the test of my temptation to face wealth.

As soon as I thought of this, the terrifying scene of the Heavenly Fairy and the Red Sleeves being devoured by the flames immediately came to my mind. It's terrible, if they had followed my advice, they might not have been consumed by the flames, and they might even be lying next to me at this moment without dying.

"Huh! How can there be a dog here? A female voice not far away made me excited to listen to it, in this desperate situation, I can hear the voice of a person, it is tantamount to seeing a savior.

The Golden Retriever also began to bark loudly at the bottom of the glacier, and he threw me down and rushed down the glacier as fast as he could. I was secretly distressed, and although I had regained some sensation at the moment, I still couldn't move my body, and my facial muscles were so stiff that I couldn't make a call.

Since the golden retriever saved me, a savior came at this time, but why did he leave me and go to the rescue of myself? I tried desperately to open my mouth to call, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't make a sound.

Just as I was nearing despair, the barking of the Golden Retriever was getting closer and closer to me, and to my sense of hope, I heard the footsteps of a man. The sudden hope of survival in despair made my weak body unable to withstand the impact anymore, and my eyes were dark, and I suddenly lost consciousness.

When I woke up, I was surprised to find that I was sleeping in a warm bed, and the furnishings around me told me that it was a simple hospital room.

I struggled to prop myself up, half-sat on the bed, and looked around in confusion, wondering if what had happened to me in the last few days was a fantasy or a reality.

The dilapidated ward door creaked, and a nurse in a white lab coat walked in. Her face is dark, and her skin looks quite rough, if it were usual, I would never say that she is beautiful, at most I can only say that she is not ugly, but at this time, after the catastrophe, I think she is the most beautiful person in the world.

The nurse walked into the room with a medical tray and greeted me in surprise when she saw that I was already half-seated on the hospital bed.

I looked at her blankly and shook my head, because I couldn't understand what she was saying. Perhaps my expression reminded her that the nurse might have realized that I didn't know Tibetan and began to ask me in stiff Mandarin, "Young man, are you finally awake?" You've been hanging water in our hospital for three days, but luckily you've woken up and you're fine. ”

I smiled at her and asked weakly, "Nurse, how did I end up in this hospital?" ”

The nurse smiled sweetly and said, "You're a big person!" You are not our local, you don't bring anything, and you dare to go to the glacier alone. Something happened, right? A scientific research team from the glacier happened to pass by, and they rescued you and sent you here in a coma. ”

A warm feeling welled up in my heart, and I asked gratefully, "Miss Nurse, where are my life-savers now?" By the way, is there another Golden Retriever? ”

The nurse was surprised and said, "Do you know that there is a golden retriever in the road?" Is that dog yours? ”

I shook my head, and the nurse exclaimed, "This is a miracle, the comrade of the expedition team said that when they passed by the glacier, they suddenly heard a dog barking. The expedition team was so strange, they didn't expect that there would be a dog in this no-man's land. ”

I asked anxiously, "What about later?" Did this golden retriever lead them and find and save me? ”

The nurse nodded and said, "Yes! When the expedition team found the dog at the time, they concluded that it was a wandering dog. They wanted to take the poor dog back to a place where there were people, but the golden retriever behaved quite strangely, biting the trouser leg of one of the female team members and pulling desperately towards the glacier. ”

The members of the expedition team thought it was strange, and it was estimated that the strange behavior of the golden retriever might be to tell them that there was a special situation on the glacier. As a result, the comrades of the scientific expedition team went up to take a look, and were surprised to find a person lying on a rock, and after trying to have a snort and body temperature, they quickly wrapped you in a blanket, and then carried you to our hospital on horse. ”

I said gratefully, "Thank God, God kept me up for an unexpected encounter with this expedition when I was dying." Miss Nurse, what about the comrades of the scientific expedition team? I want to thank them so much! ”

The nurse smiled and said, "That's your fate, it's just a coincidence." The comrades of the expedition team have long since left, and they have left a sum of money for medical expenses, as well as the golden retriever that saved your life, and after being brought back by the expedition team, it ran away. Maybe it's out of the glacier and knows its way home! ”

My heart was filled with emotion, and I silently closed my eyes, and I could feel that the tears of gratitude were no longer controlled by my will, and flowed freely on my face.

A week later, I was back healthy. Although the money left behind by the expedition team was far from enough to pay for my medical bills, I did not suffer any embarrassment. At this moment, I have deeply realized the hospitality and warmth of the Tibetan people, and the simple small hospital not only exempted me from medical expenses, but also prepared a large bag of glutinous rice for me, and stopped a car to send me to Lhasa.

I have no intention of cherishing the prosperity of Lhasa, and I desperately want to return home, because my heart is filled with deep regret and guilt. All of this is because of the red sleeves and the fairy, if I hadn't asked them to go on a trip to Tibet on the Internet, maybe they are still living happily in Guangdong at the moment, and it is impossible for them to die in the snowy mountains.

It's just that my biggest embarrassment at this moment is that although I was hitchhiked to Lhasa and still had a small bag of dry food on me, I was already penniless and had no money to go back to my hometown.

Actually, I'm not penniless, because I still have the last ten dollars on me. After entering Tibet, I put all my money and belongings in my travel bag, except for my personal documents. The travel bag was swept into the lake along with the tent, and the only thing that survived was the document holder that I had been keeping close to me, and at the bottom of the document holder, I still kept a 10 yuan that meant a lot to me.

Looking at this ten-dollar bill, I felt a lot of emotion in my heart. This is the phone number she left for me when I first met Tan Min in the border border of Yunnan, and she wrote it on this banknote because she couldn't find the paper at that time. Since then, this banknote has been carefully kept by me, carefully folded and placed on the bottom of the document holder, and taken out from time to time to reminisce about the experience of acquaintance with Tan Min.

Although I am very embarrassed at the moment, I am still reluctant to use the last ten yuan. I carefully folded the banknotes, tucked them into my ID folder, and looked around at the bustling street markets, finally finding a small shop that operated long-distance telephone services.
