Chapter 18: Life and Death

Yu Moji was restless, and he was disturbed by the wind, and slept very uncomfortably. When she woke up a few times, she saw Tu Lian sitting in place and didn't move, and she didn't see him sleeping.

Tu Lian is really a very responsible person, even in such a difficult situation, he also bears the greatest responsibility, and takes a look every once in a while, obviously checking the state of the shack to see if it can withstand this storm and snow.

Dansang is in a very good state of mind, nesting aside and ignoring it, sleeping in a daze, and snoring louder than others.

Tu Lianken paid for "Lao Ma", obviously not to invite him to sleep.

Yu Mojin could see that Tu Lian was unwilling to spend precious time and supplies waiting in vain.

The man frowned, as if he had been thinking about the next route; Thinking of anything, he was not interested in discussing with this uneven team, so he directly picked up Dansang's cigarette stick, woke up this "old horse", and muttered to each other for a while.

Yu Mojin stayed aside, listening without saying a word, silently slandering that this kind of conversation was meaningless.

Anyway, even if Tu Lian's resentful expression is clearly put on his face, he still has to listen to "Old Ma" in the end. After all, in the snowy mountains, a little more experience will give you a better chance of saving your life.

Kalu beside her was obviously in a mess too, and she couldn't sleep well after tossing and turning. When Yu Moji finally woke up completely and opened his eyes again, Kalu had already run to Tu Lian's side and went to keep vigil together.

Yu Moji admits that he doesn't have that ability, and he can only add to the chaos in the past; I had to huddle together with Yo Lang Wang Dansang to keep warm, shoulder to shoulder, regardless of you and me.

She had nothing to do anyway at this time, and she couldn't help but start thinking about it in a mess, and even remembered her mother again.

Her mother is said to have a good background, and her mother's family has been an official, but she broke her halberd in the officialdom, and she ended up with a mournful end. Her mother's life as a beautiful lady took an urgent and sloppy turn, and after suddenly becoming a criminal official, she had to marry a local hooligan - that is, Yu Moji's father, and the dream of the girl had to be transferred to Yu Mojian.

When Yu Mojin was a child, his family was already poor to death. In this situation, her mother had to go to great lengths to teach her the rules that had nowhere to show, emphasizing the defense of men and women every day, correcting her speech and behavior, and preventing her from becoming the next generation of hooligans.

However, Yu Moji's behavior at this moment is obviously a disappointing hope for his deceased mother. She didn't know how long she had been squatting in this ice cave-like shack, and the little bit of gangsterism inherited from her father in her bones could no longer be contained.

At this time, she really wanted to go out and get some snow, and when she was covered up, she could mix some wheat flour for everyone to eat.

She just wanted to sleep when she was sleepy before; Now that she was sober, the thirst and hunger that drove her crazy. She glanced at the bitter faces of the people around her, and knew that their feelings were not much different.

Yu Mochen realized that he had begun to take the initiative to ask Xia to go out with her. In the time of mourning, such a thing could never have happened to her. The self-control she's built up over the years is clearly losing its weight.

According to the rules that had been set by the team when they set out, and the rules of life in the mountains, she could not leave the group alone. Tulian and Kalu stood guard at the door; Dansang has to rest well, after all, the road behind depends on him; Lang Wang is something that Yu Moji does not want to provoke; Only Yoo, who looks very good at talking, is the most suitable person.

Yu Mochen's desire to eat and drink was so strong that she heard a few swear words coming out of her nonsense quite naturally.

Come on, she thought, what a lady, to hell with it.

Tu Lian suddenly looked at this side, stared at Yosha for a while, and said, "Your face is not quite right." ”

Yu Moji quickly shut up, and carefully looked at the appointment for a while, but still didn't see the reason.

When Dansang heard this, he also sat up slowly, glanced at Youxia, and said, "Your mouth is like this, you must have a brain that hurts to death, and you want to vomit, don't you?" ”

Yooh was obviously right, and nodded with a bitter face.

Yu Moji couldn't wait to slip out of the crack in the door.

Everyone's faces were frozen white, she didn't have the insight of Tu Lian and "Lao Ma" based on rich experience, and she couldn't see the difference between Youxia and the others.

But she followed this team, all the way, and knew that on such a high snow-capped mountain, this seemingly inconspicuous symptom could also be fatal.

Yu Mozhen felt guilty in his heart, but he had nothing to do, so he could only quickly reach out and help Yue Xia loosen the pine hat, and said, "You rest first, if you want to vomit, you can vomit, I ...... I'll find a way to get you some water. ”

"What kind of connoisseur are you pretending to be?" Lang Wang woke up at some point, and sneered at this side, "Little girl, take care of yourself first." ”

"I'm naturally not an expert," Yu Moji turned his head to ask Dansang, "Is there any danger in the way Yooh looks like this?" ”

"We have to rest here for a while and observe," Dansang did not want to draw conclusions, "and if you get through, you can still go up; It's really not good, so I have to go down the mountain. ”

"Don't make any noise," Tu Lian glanced outside, and a little crying and laughing suddenly flashed on his face, but he quickly returned to his usual indifference, "The snow has stopped." ”

He had been looking forward to this moment for a long time, and he should have taken everyone with him and set off immediately; However, his partner Yosha is in a situation and may not be able to move on.

Tu Lian was still struggling, Lang Wang had already thrown his bags on his back, and said to Youxia, "Little brother, the place we are going to is only half a day's walk away from here." If you're still a man, keep up. ”

Yosha nodded and slowly stood up. It looks really reluctant.

He didn't choose to retreat, but Yu Moji sincerely hoped that he would retreat.

What could be more important than life?

Dansang showed a slightly strange look and said, "The place where the golden veins in the mountains are located in the legend can't be walked for half a day. ”

Yu Mochen said in his heart, this group of people hid from her all the way, and sure enough, they still believed in those ethereal legends, and coveted the so-called special thousand-year-old gold on the snow mountain that was blessed by the god Gemao himself.

Lang Wang frowned when he heard this, he glanced at Tu Lian, and said to Dansang, "Brother, when this time comes, I'll tell you the truth." We didn't go up the mountain together to find the golden vein that the ghost knows where, we were looking for something else. ”

Yu Moji's face quietly turned red.

She was still very convinced of her speculation just now, and accidentally put a greedy hat on these partners who had already gone through many hardships together.

Tu Lian was silent for a while, and he didn't plan to hide it any longer, but said, "Take the peak as the heart, five and a half miles to the southwest, there is a steep slope, Dansang, you just need to take us to the bottom of the slope, the road behind, we can do it ourselves." As he spoke, he glanced at the ink marks and added, "Please take Celer with you and wait for us for two days." If we are unfortunate enough not to come out, please follow the route originally said, and take her over the pass to the land of Qi in the east. ”

Yu Mochen listened, on the one hand, he was grateful to Tu Lian for taking care of her, and on the other hand, he was also a little uncomfortable. After all, such words, coupled with Tu Lian's always cold and overly serious tone, are like explaining the aftermath.

Dansang thought for a while, then agreed, "That's easy, it's closer." "He's a businessman, after all, and he knows what to ask and what not to ask; He said and glanced at Yosha again, "Or are you waiting here?" It should be fairly safe. ”

Tu Lian apparently meant the same thing. Although he was in a hurry to move forward, he had always put everyone's lives first, and he was very worried about the situation of Jocha.

Yosha still looked weak, but shook his head very resolutely. He didn't know if he was stimulated by Lang Wang, so he only said firmly, "I'll follow you." ”

When Yu Moji heard this, he felt familiar; After thinking about it, she suddenly realized that she looked at herself and looked at Youxia, two different ideas.

Didn't she say the same thing herself? Don't you insist on doing it? Even though she has caused a lot of trouble to Tu Lian and them, hasn't she still been a little moved by her persistence?

Why did something like this happen to Yosha, and she was worried about others? Is she worried about Yosha's safety, or is she afraid that Yosha's condition will cause them trouble?

She didn't even understand it herself, and it was difficult to stop it again, so she let Yoo go with her.

At the bottom of the steep slope, she and Dansang stood together, watching the group of four people march with difficulty, gradually disappearing into the only reckless snow.

Yu Moji didn't expect that this would be the last time he would see Youxia.

Two days later, Yu Mochen followed Dansang to the agreed place, and soon saw several familiar figures in the distance.

Tu Lian, Kalu, and Lang Wang were using the pulley that Yu Moji had taught them before, dragging a heavy thing, and walking towards this side with great difficulty.

Yu Moji thought that his eyes were dazzled by the white ice and snow, and he looked and counted, but he still only counted three figures. What about Yooh? Are they dragging Yoo-ah?

When they got closer, Yu Moji glanced at it, and saw that what they had dragged back all the way was just a mediocre stone, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask, "Why didn't Yoga come with you?" ”

None of the three spoke.

Karyu hung her head, tears streaming down her eyes. Two tear streaks had frozen on her face before they could cross her swarthy face.

None of them explained what was going on.

After a long time, Lang Wang said loudly, "I will always remember Yoo." He's a real man. He's my brother. Lang Wang is a character who has always prided himself on being a tough guy, and he is also crying a little at this moment.

When Yu Mochen heard him say this, he was sad and angry, and said in a dumb voice, "Is it that if he is uncomfortable and retreats, he will no longer be a man?" ”

Lang Wang has indeed always thought so. But at this moment, he seemed to have suddenly lost the confidence to refute Yu Moji.

After a while, Tu Lian finally spoke, and said to Yu Moji, "It's not what you think...... Yosha himself didn't expect that his health was already so bad. He coughed all the way, but no matter how much we tried to persuade him, he wouldn't come back. He knew that without his strength, we would not be able to dig up this rock...... As a result, before he left the cave, his mental strength could not continue...... Lang Wang's words were very unpleasant, but he didn't persecute him. At the end of the day, Yosha is still dedicated to our team...... In short, don't mention it again. ”

Yu Moji silently closed his mouth.

She knew in her heart that it wasn't just his sudden physical discomfort that was forcing him to die. If it weren't for the responsibility of being a member of the caravan, for the trust between brothers, and for the sake of the standard of "manhood" that I don't know who set, Yosha wouldn't have had to fight like this.

However, this is also Yosha's own choice. In the case of Ink Marks, she might have made the same choice. Even if she doesn't care about the face of a man, she is absolutely unwilling to drag down the whole team because of herself.

When Yosha died, no one was happy. Yu Moji is unwilling to be ruthless to uncover the scars that they will carry for the rest of their lives.

Dansang was silent for a long time. Perhaps because of his perennial access to the snowy mountains, he is more open to life and death than others. Rao is like this, he also sighed, and then said, "It seems that you have already got what you want, since this is the case, I will take you out of the mountain." The fact that you can leave alive is the best consolation for your deceased brother. ”

"You take them with you," Tu Lian said suddenly, "I can't go down the mountain yet." ”

Kalu and Lang Wang obviously didn't expect such a show, they were all stunned. "What are you doing here?" Don't you know that you must not walk alone in the mountains? ”

"The last time I came to Chilu Mountain, I left almost alone." Tu Lian still looked cold, but Yu Moji could feel that this person who had always rejected people for thousands of miles had been soaked in extreme sadness, "I ask Celer to help us save our strength as much as possible, just hoping that after this journey, without me, your physical strength will be enough to leave safely with the stone." ”

As he spoke, he turned his face to the ink marks, revealing an expression rarely seen on his face. It was an expression of gratitude mixed with guilt. "Speaking of which, the few of us were able to make it out alive before, or because you taught us to do the pulley...... Teller, I will remember your help until I die. ”

"But what about you?" Yu Mojin didn't know what he was for, and always had some special concerns about Tu Lian. When she heard these words, her heart seemed to be covered with a layer of ashes, and she only felt extremely ominous, and couldn't help blurting out, "Where are you going again?" ”

"I'm going to the top. This is the wish of one of my old friends. Tu Lian explained, his gaze avoiding everyone, "Chilu Mountain is so dangerous, I won't bring people here to fight for my life anymore...... This is the last chance to fulfill that person's wish. ”
