At this moment, we have traveled a long distance north along Xuelong Mountain, and when we look back, we only have a white expanse left, and the wind and snow are swept down, and the footprints of the future tense are instantly covered. Everyone camped with all hands and feet, a group of thirteen people, four tents, and the speed was very fast.

We took out solid fuel and lit it, boiled some snow water in a small iron pot that we had brought with us, and ate dry food. These inverted fighters are not high, and while cursing the cold weather, they are talking and talking. Tofu and I were silent, dumb and silent on the edge of the campfire, half of my cold face lines were hidden in the dark, my dark eyes staring at the food on the tips of my fingers, chewing slowly and very regularly, my expression did not change a little, and it seemed incompatible with the noisy atmosphere around me.

It was the first time I had fought so many times with such a noisy team, and listening to the coarse jokes and spitting saliva from time to time, I was not even in the mood to eat, I was cold and tired, and I just wanted to sleep in the tent.

At this moment, the mute stopped eating and coldly spat out a sentence: "Shut up." Eat it or roll it. The voice was not slow, it was not a fight, the cold tone was like a silencer, and the sound stopped abruptly in the noisy team. Some people touched their noses in a daze, kept their mouths shut, ate silently, and had no extra words.

Tofu smacked his tongue and whispered in my ear: "What a cow fork, when will I get to this point?" ”

I whispered, "You can't do it in your life." "We both whispered, and our voices were very low, but as soon as I finished speaking, I suddenly saw the sharp and cold eyes of the dumb man, and suddenly looked at me and Tofu, and that gaze seemed to see through our disguise.

Tofu hissed and couldn't say a word. My eyes and the mute eyes met in the beating firelight, and I felt only a huge pressure. I looked at his frozen form, and for a moment, it seemed as if I was staring at a photograph: a photograph of a cliché.

Soon, the picture came to life, and the mute seemed to be just warning me and Tofu not to whisper, and then retracted his gaze. It wasn't until the meal was finished that the group started arguing again. At such times, dumb people don't care.

We still take turns arranging vigils, in groups of two, and the mute himself can not participate, because he is the leader of the team and has the privilege. The remaining twelve, in groups of two, change every hour and a half, that is to say, we have nine hours of rest, and from now on, it is about six o'clock in the morning, plus the time for camp and dinner, and it is estimated that we can leave at eight o'clock.

I and Tofu as a group, because we are not very vocal stuffy gourd, it seems to be easier to bully, so the vigil time, was arranged in the middle, which is the most unpleasant, because half of the sleep has to be gotten up, keep an hour and a half to continue sleeping, not conducive to rest. In fact, I think that in this snow-capped mountain, it doesn't matter whether to keep vigil or not, sleeping and keeping vigil on weekdays is mainly to beware of wild beasts, but now it is in the snowy mountains, and it is the end of February, the climate in Yunnan is still relatively cold, so it is even more windy and snowy, and there will be no wild beasts at all.

It's just that although the dumb man doesn't talk much, he is very cautious and doesn't give everyone this opportunity to be lazy at all. The tent was a group of three, and I, Lu Su, and tofu were one, and everyone gave Lu Su more face, so he and the girl named Mengmeng guarded the first shift, and they could sleep until dawn after the guard.

Tofu and I shrunk into the tent, and people are particularly prone to drowsiness in the cold environment, so we slept into the warm sleeping bag and slept in the dark, dreaming strange dreams. I don't know how long we were woken up by a thin man who could shrink his bones, codenamed 'Black Loach', with snow on his shoulders and a red face, who spoke with a cold voice, and shook my shoulder and said, "Hey, it's your turn." ”

Tofu rubbed his eyes, put his head on the chicken coop, got out of the sleeping bag in a daze, yawned and said, "I'm so sleepy, there's something to guard in the snowy mountains." ”

The black loach just smiled and said, "You go and ask Boss Wu about this, I'm asleep, you get up quickly." Then he left our tent, and when he looked sideways, he saw that Lu Su had already slept, silently. The tofu head chick pecked at the rice little by little, and the sleepy eyes were hazy, and he almost drooled. I considered that the tofu body was not good and needed a good rest, so I said, "I'll do it alone, you can continue to sleep." ”

Hearing this, Tofu shook his head and said, "That's not good, there are blessings and hardships." ”

I knew tofu too well, and said, "Okay, okay, don't pretend, I'm so happy, don't come with me, sleep with you." Seeing that the tofu was debunked, he smiled and said, "I'll also release water for you tomorrow night." Then he retracted and went to sleep.

I put on my clothes, put on the hat of my jacket and sat by the fire. Although we have a large number of people and carry sufficient supplies, we try to save energy as much as possible in order to prevent accidents. The fire is a solid fuel, so it doesn't burn much, barely enough to keep out the cold. It was the middle of the night, the cold wind was blowing in the snowy mountains, and the temperature dropped even more.

After a long time, I decided to get up and take a walk, moving my frozen muscles and bones, while watching the time, there was still a full hour. I thought it had been a long time, but only half an hour had passed. The tents were arranged in four directions, south, east, and west, with the bonfire in the center, and I stamped my feet around the circle of the campfire, making a clattering sound of snow.

There was a touch of snow white gathered at the top of the tent, hunting in the wind and snow, and the vigil was a boring job, and I stomped my feet while thinking about some things, such as how to position the dumb man? This whole day, he has been leading the way in front of him, could it be that he knows the location of Puzhen's tomb?

Due to the terrain, in the daytime, my technique of looking at the tomb will not work, and how can the dumb be judged?

When it's cold, people's heads are prone to stiffness, and they are tired, and it's not the time to think about problems, so these doubts are only going through in my brain, and I don't have the energy to think about them. Time passed minute by minute, suddenly, I heard a hissing sound behind me, turned around and saw that someone had unzipped the tent, and then, a figure appeared, I couldn't help but be stunned, it was dumb.

He didn't know if he was up late or what he was doing, but he got out of the tent and looked at me, because of the cold, so I wore windproof glasses and wrapped my scarf around my mouth and nose, and he probably didn't recognize me. But I didn't expect him to speak to me: "Where else is someone?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, and then I reacted, he was talking about tofu, I knew that the dumb man was very unkind, if he knew that tofu was lazy, I didn't know what would happen, so I suppressed my voice, changed my timbre, and said, "." ”

The mute frowned, presumably disdainful of my vulgar words, gave me a cold look, and then left the range of the firelight and walked in the opposite direction of the camp. I watched his back go a little far, estimated that he was going to herd the grass, hurriedly got into the tent, slipped the tofu out, and said, "Get up, the leader has checked the post." ”

"Chagang?" Tofu was still stunned, and said blankly: "Which leader?" While I got him up, I said something about being dumb, and Tofu was quite taboo about being dumb, so I quickly dressed and sat down by the fire to doze off.

After about 20 minutes, the dumb man came back, and I thought to myself, is this kid constipated, let the grass go for more than 20 minutes, and his ass will not be frozen? The dumb man ignored the two of us and slipped into the tent. I looked at the time, and there were still twenty minutes before the changing of the guard.

At this time, Tofu suddenly pulled my sleeve, leaned into my ear, and whispered, "There is blood, there is blood on the dumb pants, he must have hemorrhoids." ”

I couldn't help but be stunned, hissed, couldn't help but pat on the head of the tofu, and said in a low voice: "Bullshit, your eyes are too unruly, what are you doing looking at people's buttocks, it's none of your business to have hemorrhoids." ”

Tofu pursed his lips, looked very aggrieved, and whispered: "I didn't mean to stare at his ass, don't you stand and I'm sitting, as soon as he enters my line of sight, he looks at the past, doesn't he just see his buttocks, there is really blood, a big piece, hemorrhoids are quite strict." ”

When I heard Tofu say that, I couldn't help but feel strange. Of course I don't believe that the dumb man has hemorrhoids, but what about the blood on his pants? Thinking like this, my eyes involuntarily looked in the direction where the dumb man was going, and I was puzzled, like a cat scratching, so I said to Tofu, "You are guarding here, I'll go over and take a look." ”

"Where?"

I said, "Don't worry about it, just stay here, and I'll be back in a while." ”

"I'm afraid of the dark."

"If there is a fire, what kind of darkness are you afraid of, don't pretend to be a woman with me, when I cut the root under you, I will believe that you are a girl."

Tofu shrank his neck, coaxed, and watched me leave.

The dumb footprints had not yet been hidden by the wind and snow, and I followed them with a flashlight. The footprints have been spreading for more than ten minutes, and now I can be sure that the dumb man definitely didn't come out to release the grass, in this cold and snowy place, who would run so far to pee?

He came out in the middle of the night, what did he do?

At this moment, the footprints turned a corner in front of me, and I turned behind a rock, and at this moment, I smelled a strong smell of blood, and my heart was pounding for a while. Some rocks were faintly peeking out of the snow, and it seemed that the snow on them had been removed by something before.

What's behind the rocks?

What is that bloody thing?

PS: I am a knife, not a manuscript depositor, nor an editor perverted salt. Let me tell you, I'm going home today, but I have to do some things, and I have to catch a plane, so today and tomorrow are a shift, and the day after tomorrow will be updated normally. If I have enough time, I will try to resume the two watches tomorrow.
