Shaoyi finally had an answer in his mind, and he decided to continue climbing, defeat his heart disease with action, and no longer retreat.

First of all, to spend an extra day in this halfway up the mountain, which has brought life back to him, this grass hut must be reinforced, and it must be preserved after he sets out, so that there will be at least a place to retreat when he is forced to descend the mountain as a last resort.

After reinforcing the straw hut, Shaoyi sat down.

On this rare flat land in the mountains, the strong wind of a few days ago had swept away a large pile of snow, and only a thin layer of snow covered the ground on the flat land, some slippery and some hard.

Shaoyi had a new idea, he used the stone shovel he brought with him to dig deep into the ground, and after half a day's efforts, he dug a hole in the frozen ground, so that the size of the hole was just right.

Shaoyi took out a boning knife and chopped several pieces of ice of different sizes and strange shapes next to the nearby ice fountain, he cut the ice cubes into the desired shape, and then poured water from the pot and poured it on the ice cubes that had been erected, building the outer wall of the hole, leaving only a lookout.

The entrance to the cave is level with the ground, so the entire hiding hole is almost impossible for animals to find, and it looks as if an inconspicuous wound has grown on the flat ground.

This design and construction is the inspiration obtained from the observation of the beehive. Make the entrance exactly one level higher than the ground, so that it is not significantly affected by heavy snowstorms and is not easy to spot.

Shaoyi took a lot of effort to use the collected wood to drive piles to enhance the solidity of the small hole and prevent the hole from collapsing due to excessive snow.

Shaoyi made an effort to find and collect dry wood branches in the snow and ice, piling them in holes, trying to keep them dry and protected from moisture so that they could be used in case of emergency.

Shaoyi also re-examined his fire-drilling tools, and then he searched around for nuts, roots, and the few berries that had been left, and stored them in the hole. He knew that in the mountains, as long as a snowstorm hit, there could be a danger of running out of food at any time.

After a busy day, during the day, you can deliberately avoid the emotions that lead to loneliness.

When tonight came, he inadvertently found that Loneliness had not visited. Maybe it's a good thing to be tired.

Big rocks fell down

The iceberg has collapsed......

Early in the morning, I recalled last night's frightening dream, but fortunately, it was just a false alarm in the dream.

Shaoyi looked at the top of the mountain from afar, and talked to it silently reverently, for a long time, for a long time......

The thick snow and steep terrain made it difficult to climb the mountain, and sometimes he had to crawl forward, and sometimes he had to rely on a cane to move half a step......

An old eagle hovered overhead, wondering if it had lost faith in me, waiting for me to give up on survival so that it could be its easy prey.

"If you have the guts, come here. At this time, Shaoyi seems to be lonely and sad.

By noon, he had crossed the top of the tree line and was ready to climb up the wind-swept rocky slope.

In front of you, the cliff-like icefall is like a ladder to the sky, and when you look up, you can barely see the top.

The icefall is divided into three sections, each part is more than 100 feet, and the thick icicles hang straight down, huge and heavy, and may suddenly break at any time, piercing into the ground below the slope like sharp knives.

Shaoyi took out the stone claws and rattan and began to climb slowly. The stone claw sometimes can't grasp the ice crevices, and when it slides, it makes Shaoyi feel like he is flying in the fall, as if he is born to die......

There were so many times when he slipped out of several people so far in a thrilling way that he was dragged to a stop by his stone claws re-grasping the crack in the cliff.

At this point, he was so engrossed that he couldn't take his attention off the ice at all.

Every crampons must be grasped firmly, and every step must be stepped on steadily, because as long as one action is done wrong, one center of gravity is shifted wrongly, and you will fall down the ice slope and fall into the abyss.

He was so focused that he couldn't feel anything but himself, the claws, the rocks, and the ice.

I don't know how much time passed, until Shaoyi suddenly heard a sharp and painful hiss, he hung in the air and looked up, it turned out that in the process of climbing, above him, there was a small icefall gap.

There, at the edge, dry branches hung beyond the icefall, stabbing into the sky. This made one less guess that there was a bird's nest made of tree branches in the crevice of the ice.

It was the old eagle that was flapping its wings and flying fiercely at him to protect its nest.

Shaoyi understood that the old eagle at this time had no other choice but to confront him, a human race who came to disturb and pose a potential threat.

Shaoyi wanted to take a detour to avoid the road, but unfortunately, it was too late, and the enraged old eagle repeatedly flew to attack, carving fiercely with a sharp beak, pecking Shaoyi's eyes, heart and body.

As soon as you let go, you will fall into the slope and become powder. Shao climbed up, while trying to sideways to avoid the attack of the old eagle.

"Squeak-" The brocade feather pinned to the body of the young one fluttered out and flew towards the old eagle, and the eagle "Catalpa-" greeted him, and actually took the golden feather under his wing, and flew high and far away......

Could it be that the golden rooster and this old eagle have some old friendship?! Shaoyi hung his body on one arm and looked at the back of the old eagle with respect, who said that the grass and trees are ruthless, and the livestock are unrighteous?!

Finally, Shaoyi climbed to the second level of the three-story icefall, and stopped to breathe on a slope where he could rest, which looked like a hollow left by a fallen boulder, like a sloping sea bowl, just enough to hold a person around.

Shaoyi rested in the hollow, not forgetting to look at the eagle nest below, where several fluffy little ones were cheering to the sky. One less took out a few pieces of dried rabbit meat from his pocket and threw them into the nest below.

Looking at the sky, he measured the scale of today's climb again, and looked up at the top of the mountain where the clouds had not gone, he knew that he would not be able to climb the snowy mountain today, and according to the estimate, he would not be able to return to the small hole he had built before dark.

Right now, he had only two options: either keep climbing up and make his way through the dark, or stay here for the night.

The approaching blizzard is menacing, and the blizzard is relentless, and it may blow him away at any time.

Without any barrier, how to survive the invasion of the snowstorm on the concave bowl without being blown away by the wind and snow is indeed a great challenge.

Trying desperately to calm himself down, Shaoyi quickly turned his mind and came to a judgment: at the very least, he could retreat to the middle of the slope before it got dark or before a blizzard came.

He didn't have time to rest, let alone hesitate to retreat or stand by in place. Shaoyi then reorganized the remaining ice and snow on the stone claws and began a long journey down the mountain.

His speed was noticeably slower than it had been before, mainly because he had been taking the time to move slowly, and the odds of falling into the ice crevasse or letting go of it became even greater as it got dark.

One less hand holds his own speed, relying on crampons to steady and steady, constantly sliding.

Suddenly, he felt a loosening in his hand, and the stone claws were not grasped, and Shaoyi slid away from the rock with a startled exclamation, and with the acceleration, he knew that he had flown out and began to fall freely.

"Hula-" The eagle flew into the air, grabbed Shaoyi's collar with its sharp beak, and flew all the way, slamming Shaoyi firmly on the platform halfway up the slope.

A brocade feather fluttered back into Shaoyi's hand, and Shaoyi looked at the old eagle flying away in shock.

When Shaoyi re-entered the cave, it was already dark, the wind was blowing, and it began to snow heavily.

Thankfully, the wind and snow swept the hole diagonally, saving him from the frontal devastation of the wind and snow. If there is no place for him to hide, then his chances of surviving this night will be slim to none.

The wind and snow became stronger and stronger, and the entrance to the cave was even sealed by snow, but fortunately, there was snow blocking the strong wind, and although he suffered a lot, he was not frozen to death.

Shaoyi used his arm to pierce through the thick snow that was increasingly covering the hole, allowing air to enter, but as the snow grew thicker, he had to dig farther and farther......

Finally, he peered out from the hole a few feet deep above his head, and the faint sunlight slowly cast in.

However, the warm light in the cave was too weak and thin, and Shaoyi's physical strength was about to be exhausted, and he began to shiver intermittently. If there is not enough warm light to bring energy, one less will soon freeze to death here.

Out of self-help, he struggled to crawl out of the snow cave, and the earth had already become a silver world, and the frozen rock slopes were completely covered with snow.

Shaoyi understood that this snowstorm would not stop, so in order not to be buried by the snow, he put on his snowshoes without hesitation and left the snow cave without hesitation.

Stepping on a slow pace, he cautiously and fearfully walked on the white rock slope, telling himself that only by coming out could he wake up his paralyzed and sleepy self, and only by walking down could he not die sweetly in a peaceful sleep.

He knew that he might never be able to climb that mountain again, and he knew that after two days of freezing and starvation, his strength would only plummet, and he might not recover.

Despite this, Shaoyi did not give up his last effort. In front of him, the big snow on the mountain collapsed, and the young one held the golden feather in his hand, imagining that he was a high-flying golden pheasant, greeting the old eagle and greeting the mountain......

At this time, looking up, on top of the unreachable icefall, a large piece of snow river is like a beautiful quilt, slowly and silently falling down the icefall, like a galloping horse, covering the platform of this half-hillside with the momentum of Mount Tai......

When he woke up, Shaoyi was still standing in place, surrounded by the snow that had fallen down, and the snow waves had buried him, leaving only the top of his head and a pair of eyes.

He was about to be buried by the heavy snow, and he was about to suffocate......

At this critical moment, somehow, a force that surprised even himself was born from within himself. With a shout, he was full of strength and broke through the snow like a snow leopard......

For the first time, Shaoyi felt that his body and mind were so magically in harmony with the mountains, snow, and ice waterfalls, his every move became easy and smooth, and the existence of Fengxue no longer threatened him with life and death, and Fengxue became his childhood friend.

He can feel that although his body is on the verge of life and death, it can truly and gracefully walk in the natural ice and snow like an animal that is fully adapted to the environment.

It turns out that he also has light.

Let yourself be close to all the things that emit a glimmer, such as the old eagle, such as the wind and snow, such as the cedar forest, and produce a feeling of being one.

It turned out that this was the case, less than the Jedi and reborn, and had an epiphany: he had the experience of being one with nature that he learned from Sugibagong, and because of this, nature taught him, and because of this, the swamp let him go, and the snow let him go......

The eagle flies to the sky, the rabbit dances in the plain, and the cedar stands for ten thousand years......

I also have light, and I don't feel cold anymore for the first time.
