It was still summer in Golmud before, and it was freezing all of a sudden, so we set up a smokeless stove, stuffed some snow into hot water, and crushed the biscuits to eat, and the hot stuff felt warmer in our stomachs. I don't have a clue about Bai Shuang's question now, except that I know that they are going west, I can't think of the rest at all, so I don't answer.

According to my travel experience, in this kind of ice and snow, it is actually relatively safe, there are no wild beasts, insects and snakes, you can sleep peacefully at night, the only thing to prevent is skiing and other things, so you have to get up to take a look after sleeping for two hours.

We only brought a tent, each curled up in a sleeping bag, and went out, in order to travel lightly, and we didn't care about the difference between men and women, but fortunately in the snowy mountains, we took off our coats and wrapped them like rice balls. It doesn't matter how it goes.

Lying in the tent, I somehow thought of Wen Min, if it was her lying next to me at this time, we could chat, or do something else, and at this time, Bai Shuang had already shrunk into the sleeping bag to rest. But what is the use of thinking about it, I can't find some psychological comfort, in the fantasy, she and I can still be the same as before, but in reality, we have already taken two different paths.

Betrayal, counterattack, wounded.

There is no second day to go except for confrontation.

With that in mind, I set my alarm to go off every two hours and fell asleep. I slept quite deeply this night, and as soon as I closed my eyes, it seemed that I had only been in the United States for a long time, and I was woken up by the alarm clock. There were camp lamps hanging outside and inside the tent, the light was not strong, it was dim and dim, I got out of the tent and saw that the snow was very thick, and around the tent, half of the snow had accumulated, and there was a lot of accumulation on the top. I took out a small shovel to shovel the snow, cleaned it up and got back in, and the night went on and on, getting up three times, and the fourth time I got out of my sleeping bag, it was already dark.

In fact, it was eight o'clock in the morning, but the fog in the snowy mountains was steaming, blocking the sun, so it gave people a gray feeling. I have been in the snowy mountains more than once, so I know that even if you want to go to camp in the snowy mountains, you won't get up too early, because the cold is too heavy and the weather is even worse, so getting up early will not help, but will be prone to accidents.

I rubbed my face, put on my clothes, took my binoculars, and climbed up to a slightly higher position to observe Lu Su and them.

They had just gotten up to cook and eat, and they sat close together, not knowing what they were discussing.

So I went back to the tent, set up a smokeless stove and started cooking. Although Bai Shuang has a tough personality, she has no experience after all, she looked at the snow around her that was obviously thicker than yesterday, and then looked at the open space around the tent, and said in surprise: "You did it?" ”

I said, "If we hadn't shoveled the snow, we would have been buried last night." "The snow here is very heavy, not as good as before in the Yulong Mountains, where the snow accumulates overnight and can really collapse the tent.

Bai Shuang was a little embarrassed and said, "I will take turns in the future." ”

I said; "You are a girl's family, it is not easy to go into the mountains with me, I can do these jobs, just don't make a mess." Bai Shuang suddenly glared, looking very unconvinced, the two finished eating, packed up the tent, and followed Lu Su and the others to continue on the road.

The more I walked, the more uneasy I felt, because at our depth, the general expedition team had already begun to stop, but Lu Su and the others had no intention of stopping at all. Every now and then they would stop and seem to be surveying something, apparently looking for somewhere.

But in this vast snow-capped mountain, in addition to snow and ice, what are they looking for?

It's just that we add up to four people, and the force value is not high, which makes me feel a little more at ease. In this way, after trekking for a whole day, Bai Shuang could no longer walk, staggering, but since he had entered the snow mountain, it was impossible for me to let her go back alone, so I could only move forward half-supported and half-dragged, not to mention how tired I was, the rough air that came out of the two-person boat formed a large white mist scattered in front of me, and the sight was always foggy.

At about four or five o'clock in the afternoon, the snow under our feet has receded from knee-deep to only the instep, not that the snowfall has decreased, but that the snow here has accumulated all year round, and it has been slowly pressed into ice.

The further you go, the less snow there becomes, and at night, there is hardly any snow under your feet, only ice, and a thin layer of snowflakes on top of it is quickly frozen into thin ice, and people walking on it will fall on all fours if they are not careful.

We were wearing snow-capped boots, but they didn't have a good slip resistance on the ice, so we walked cautiously and set up camp early at around 7 p.m. At this moment, we are in an ice valley, on high ground, connected to the snow peaks on the left, and on the right is an ice cliff with a great drop.

Standing on the edge of the cliff and looking at it, the fog below is steaming, the snow field is faintly visible, the sunset in the distance is only a trace of afterimage, and the sunset on the horizon is only a shadow, but this little brilliance shines the snow mist in the distance with the brilliance of glass-like changes, which is so beautiful that people are reluctant to look away.

I have walked a lot of places over the years, but I am also intoxicated by it, and after looking at it for a while, I packed up the camp, and only Bai Shuang sat on the edge of the ice cliff and watched as if I was fascinated. I didn't call her, I started camping by myself, and I didn't need her to help her, so I didn't pay much attention to her.

As soon as the tent was set up, I took out the smokeless stove and was about to cook something to eat, but at this moment, Bai Shuang, who was sitting on the edge of the ice cliff, suddenly let out a loud scream. The sound was not clear in the howling cold wind, but I was not far away, so I heard it at once, I thought something was wrong, and quickly turned around, but saw Bai Shuang running towards me, panting: "Yes, someone, there is a person down there!" ”

Person?

I was stunned for a moment, found Bai holding a telescope in both hands, and stammered and explained: "I used the telescope to look at the scenery, and it turned out that there was a person underneath with a very big head. "Someone with a very big head? I was in a state of panic, snatched her binoculars with my hand, and said, "Don't come here, stay here." Then he touched a paratrooper knife. This time, all the equipment was temporarily purchased in Golmud, and it was naturally impossible to get contraband such as guns.

After saying that, I ran to the edge of the ice cliff, looked down with a telescope, and saw that the clouds were steaming and foggy, and all the qiē were confused. The situation below is similar to ours, it is also sleet terrain, with a thin layer of snow on top, but there are no human figures or anything like that.

After looking at it for a while, there was really no movement, I put down the binoculars, looked at Bai Shuang, who ran to my side at some point, and said, "No one, are you dazzled?" Bai Shuang blinked, didn't believe it, took away his glasses and looked at them for a long time, he was also a little confused, and muttered: "Obviously there is a person, why is it missing." ”

She's not going to be bored and talk nonsense, I guess either she's blind, or she's somebody, but we just didn't find out. Thinking of this, I said, "Let's take a little bit of immersion tonight, arrange a vigil, and don't have any accidents." ”

Bai Shuang nodded, didn't say anything more, the two of us lit the fire and ate something, I kept watch for the first half of the night, she kept watch for the second half of the night, and the two took turns to rest.

Because of the freezing weather, I didn't keep vigil outside, so I sat at the mouth of the tent and put my hands together on the smokeless stove to roast the fire, as for Lu Su's side, they seemed to be quite relieved, and both of them slept.

There was nothing to do during the vigil, I sat still, my body was inactive, and it was even colder, and when I came back, I walked around, walking, and suddenly I heard a squeaking sound behind me. The sound flickered and disappeared, the night wind whistling and whimpering, and it was instantly drowned out, but I could hear that it was the sound of feet stepping on the snow.

As for whether it is a human foot or something else's foot, it is not clear.

I immediately turned around, took out the flashlight in my pocket, turned it on, and looked in the direction the sound came from. It was the side near the snowy mountains, and there was a little snow on that side because of the snowy mountains. During the day, in order to prevent our feet from slipping, we mostly walked along the side of the mountain, and every step of the way, there was this crunching sound, which is very familiar.

It can't be someone else in this place, could it be the real Lu Su?

Thinking so, I quickly leaned over with my weapon in my hand, and in the flickering light, I saw a black shadow running in the snow, lying on the ground, as if avoiding my light. And when my lights came on, the shadow disappeared in an instant.

I realized that it wasn't human, because people don't move that fast when they're lying on their stomachs.
