Chapter 8 Meet

I lay on my back, looking overhead.lā I don't want to describe this night sky as clean. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info because that's just so cheesy. I feel that people like us who have experienced so much should not be expressed in such a literary and artistic way.

So I decided to describe this night sky as clear.

The fat man leaned half-leaning on a stone more than a man tall next to me, looking up at the stars from time to time. The smoke caught in his finger was blown by the mountain wind. Ali sat by the campfire, staring at the fire in front of her, not knowing what she was thinking. The rest of the people were lying on the sidelines, perhaps asleep, or pretending to be asleep and thinking about their thoughts.

The fat man took a big puff of his cigarette. The lit cigarette butt lit up his face slightly, and I saw his tightly knit brow.

After coughing for a while, the fat man relented.

"When you're old, don't learn to be young." I sat up from the ground and looked at the fat man.

The fat man blushed and coughed a few more times. Coughing and waving his hand. Apparently choked on that big puff of smoke.

"You don't understand." The fat man said after relieving himself. "At this age, the fat man is no different from those young people. Really-love, don't believe it. Believe it or not, after going back, the fat man can still connect with the royal number of girls overnight? ”

"You're not afraid that Ali will ruin you." I say. Then he took out the pack of Aaron's cigarettes from his pocket.

Blue Dragon, the kind that costs five dollars a pack. 、

I gave one to the fat man, and I nodded to myself.

The fat man looked at me, leaned over and took the cigarette from my mouth, and used his own cigarette to cross.

"Hey, you've been a big smoker this time." The fat man took a puff of his cigarette. Gray-white smoke slowly rose under the night sky and then dissipated into the air.

The night sky above is still so clear. It didn't change half a point because of such a little grayishness.

I nodded, but then shook my head again: "I'll quit smoking this time." ”

"Don't. Gentlemen, it's rare to have a hobby. What are you doing if you quit? The fat man said. After speaking, he took another puff, and then said, "This cigarette is quite cheap, right?" It's a bit spicy. ”

I nodded again: "Five dollars a pack." Aaron left. ”

"Aaron? Which Aaron? The fat man asked me.

"One-eyed dragon." I say. I don't know when it started, but I don't call him the one-eyed dragon anymore.

I didn't tell Fat Man and Ali, and the surviving people Aaron was dead. The reason is simple. I don't want this pain to detract from what I'm going to do. The pain was short-lived, but deadly.

When the fat man heard this, he said "oh". He asked me, "Hey, what about the others?" ”

"I don't know." I say.

The fat man wanted to ask something more, but I got up from the floor and took the last puff of my cigarette. Then he threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it. "Tomorrow will be there." When the time comes, the trick will be bright. No more surprises. ”

The fat man looked at me and rolled his eyes. looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, but then he said: "Got it." ”

I knew he wasn't trying to say that. But I know, he knows he can't ask me anything else now. This will affect my judgment for the rest of the day.

We've all come this far and can't afford to go wrong again.

It was a restless night's sleep. There are many reasons for this. One is that I think I'm going to see that person tomorrow, and I'm a little excited. The other, which may be due to the high altitude, is a bit hypoxic. The heart beats very fast. "Knock knock", I can hear it clearly.

I fell into a groggy sleep just as dawn was approaching. In a trance, I vaguely heard the fat man whispering: "He's tired, don't scream yet." Let's take a moment and set off in three hours. The fat man paused and asked Ali again, "How much dry food is left?" ”

I didn't hear Ali's answer. Probably gesturing. Then I heard the fat man say "um": "It's okay, keep insisting." ”

I opened my eyes, and my heart said I'd sit up on the count of three.

On the count of two, I sat up with my hands on the ground and looked at the fat man.

Getting up, no matter how tired you are, it only takes a second to get up from the ground. It's something that can be done by one person. It doesn't take a lot of courage.

The fat man was a little embarrassed to see that I was awake. I guess I thought I heard what I had just said. He touched the back of his head and said, "Ah Cheng, if we don't go around when we go down, the dry food is still rich now." If only ......"

I raised my hand to stop the fat man and stood up.

I know the fat man is fooling me. Because in our plans, we never came down to this one casually. It's not about leading the subject to the park. This is full of snow-capped mountains and rocks, shopping for yarn.

"Let's go." I picked up the bag on the ground and threw it on my back. But I didn't estimate the weight of the bag, and after throwing it up, I hit my back and was knocked down.

The fat man came to me and said, "Hey, this is the fat man's bag, where are yours?" He pointed to the side.

"Don't give the a." I raised my hand to block the fat man, and with my other hand passed through the shoulder strap to carry the bag onto my shoulder.

That backpack is Ali's. I could see a small jade pendant on it. It was given to her by the fat man. It is said to be something from the Shang Dynasty or that dynasty. I didn't understand it at the time, and I didn't care.

Shaking the snow off my pickaxe, I looked like a charcoal fire still smoking next to me.

The fat man handed me a bowl of tea: "Wake up." ”

I took it and blew the tea leaves on top, blowing them aside. Then I drank it in one gulp. The slightly hot tea rolled down his throat, and his body immediately warmed up.

Pulling the tea leaves in the bowl with his fingers, he pulled them all into his mouth and chewed them. The bitterness spread from my mouth and stimulated my taste buds.

I looked at the heavily armed men in front of me and walked over and kicked the tea stove away. The tea stove rolled down the hill with the boiling hot tea. The tea splashed along the way instantly condensed into a mist and floated into the air.

"Gear up again." I say. "Let's travel light."

At the command, a large pile of things flew down the mountain.

As soon as I grabbed the fat man's hand, the fat man looked at me with a question in his eyes: "What are you doing, didn't you say to travel lightly." ”

I pressed his hand down: "You don't have to throw this thing away." ”

The fat man looked at the piece in his hand and asked, "Why don't you throw it away?" ”

"Keep ......," I thought about and said, "Use it as an insole." ”

The fat man suddenly realized, "Oh". He said, "Oh—that's what you say." Yes, sanitary napkins are available here. With that, he opened his backpack. When he opened it, he asked me, "Hey, night or day?" ”

I almost fainted when I saw it.

What the hell is the seventh-dimensional space?

The fat man threw a bag on me: "Take it to life, you're welcome." ”

------

The higher up the mountain, the heavier the snowfall. The wind blew so hard that I didn't catch the pickaxe several times and was blown crooked. Every time, the fat man grabbed me and threw me back.

It's getting closer and closer to the top of the mountain. I could even clearly see the gray-black platform at the top of the mountain.

"The Heavenly Burial Table, the Heavenly Burial Table, is it really a platform?" The fat man asked.

I didn't speak. But my heart was beating wildly.

Come on, I'm about to see the man lying on it. My heart said. Should I organize my outfit now and face him in a neat attire? Tell him that she's doing well down there. Then go down and tell her that he's doing well up there, too.

Shaking his head, he forcibly blocked all kinds of information in his head. Although I know it's only a temporary shield. But aren't all people like that? It's an ability that everyone has. Able to forget everything for a while, so that you can concentrate on getting the task at hand and then deal with the things you didn't want to think about again.

It took me almost two hours to process all the information in my brain. And in the space of these two hours, we have come to the bottom of the celestial burial table.

It's a huge cement platform. Square in shape, presenting a grayish-black color that has suffered many vicissitudes. The height is about four to five meters, and the width is more than ten meters.

I don't know how the cement used to build this burial platform was brought up. When we came all the way, there was no road, and we all climbed up on our own, little by little, with our hands and feet.

Perhaps, this is telling me that I need to carve out my own way. I smiled to myself, then stuck out my tongue and licked my lips.

The moment of laughter tore his lips again. It hurts.

I walked around the burial platform. There is no pattern on the whole. I didn't find any words or anything left on the table. This bucket that has been poured in the past is very different.

Others are eager to put an anti-theft door on the coffin board, and then engrave the words "Tomb robbers must not die well" on the door to warn the latter. But now the place is really clean, there is nothing.

Maybe it's in line with the nature of their race. My heart said. Life does not bring death and does not take away. There is no need to engage in all bells and whistles to decorate your own death. No matter how heroic you are when you are alive, when you die, it is not just a matter of breathing. There's no need to make it so grand.

"How to get up." The fat man asked me. "This platform is not equipped with a ladder or anything, how can the family go up to sweep the tomb during the Qingming Festival?"

I shook my head: "It's so windy up there that you can't even leave dust." How can grass grow. ”

"Hey, what if the family wants to go up and worship?" The fat man asked again.

"Didn't Lan say that he was the last relative in her world. No one but Lan would come up to see him. ”

"Aren't we here now—hey,. So in what capacity are we here now? A group of friends and family? Or ......" The fat man looked at me when he said this: "Or a rival in love?" ”

"Rival in love." I say. It's very crisp. I used to be indistinguishable from friend and foe, but now, I don't get confused anymore.

"Gotcha." The fat man answered. But after a while, he said, "Hey, I said, you don't like to listen to the fat man's words-"

"Don't say it if you know I don't like to hear it."

The fat man ignored me and continued: "Everyone has been dead for so long, you have been eating vinegar for a long time." ”

"You don't care about that." I say. I spoke very quickly, so I didn't want to give myself a chance to take it back. "This is a heart disease for me and Yu Lan. A break has to be made. ”

"Gotta get it. It's all here, and it's up to you to say anything about the fat man. But look, how do you go up to such a high platform? ”

I looked up and then at the geography around me. I found that I didn't have any tools to use it.

This may be the last measure Lan takes to protect him. My heart said. Lan built this celestial burial platform so high, didn't he just want him to lie down quietly on it. Lie in the closest place to heaven, without hustle and bustle, without distraction, without any spotlight.

"Carry me up." I say.

The fat man looked at me, and then at the height of the celestial burial platform: "There is nothing to borrow from this platform, you-"

"Carry me up." I repeat what I just said.

The fat man nodded: "Okay." As he spoke, he walked to the base of the wall and crouched down towards me, with his fingers crossed in front of his lower abdomen. It's too high, fat man, I'll try to send you up. The fat man said.

I nodded. The burial platform is too high. After training, I was able to jump on the spot and fly about 1.5 meters. Coupled with the one that the fat man gave me, it may be able to reach three meters or nearly three meters and a half. Add to that the length of my arm, and that should be enough.

"Come on." The fat man was angry and dantian drank heavily.

I looked at him, nodded, and started running.

At a distance of less than six meters, I rushed to the fat man almost instantly.

It was only with one kick on the fat man's palm that I leaped up with all my strength. The colleague felt an accelerating force under his feet.

It's fat.

The fat man let out almost the loudest roar I've ever known him. His voice echoed throughout the mountain.

I was blessed with this strength and flew upward. But it looked like it was about to reach the edge of the platform, and the speed of the ascent was finally used up. After 0.3 seconds I was about to fall all the way into the fat man's arms.

I reached out and grabbed the edge of the table. But the distance was so far that I couldn't reach it.

Failed? My heart was empty, and my mind was blank. So many people died for this operation. Am I failing again?

The bitterness of the tea leaves in his mouth came up again. I smiled wryly, and the feeling of falling made me have to face this fact.

I closed my eyes and waited for a second to fall into the fat man's arms. The feeling that the class came one step faster than the feeling of falling turned out to be the strength of the rise again.

My mind raced, and I instinctively wanted to look down to see who was helping me. But my subconscious mind told me in a few tenths of a second that I couldn't see it, and I wanted to take advantage of this force.

went up. With the strength under me, I finally grabbed the edge of the table and hung it on it.
