Chapter 399: The Line Between Life and Death
They said goodbye to the old jade workers and walked into the Kunlun Mountain, the road into the mountain was rugged and difficult, only a naturally formed narrow road led to the high mountain.
The temperature on the mountain is relatively low, and in early autumn, the green grass is almost withered, and it slumps listlessly on the side of the road.
The wind whistled from afar, bringing more chill, and the further you walked, the harder it became.
On one side of the narrow road is a high mountain peak, and on the other side is a bottomless mountain stream.
Long Tianba knew that his lover could sense the existence of jade, and in order to help her fulfill Ai Lao's wish, he supported her without hesitation.
At first, the two of them could walk hand in hand on the narrow road and continue walking, and there were places where they could only pass cautiously alone.
The towering snow-covered mountains in the distance look dangerous and chilling, and the natural conditions here are quite harsh.
The wind and sand on the mountain are large, and the fine sand is wrapped in the wind and blows on people's faces is particularly uncomfortable, and this broken place is really not a place for human survival.
Long Tianba has been walking in front, how much can block a little wind and sand, and when she encounters a dangerous area, she pulls her lover back, afraid that a gust of wind will blow over, and she will not be able to stand on a stable footing.
It's not the way to go on like this, and I gladly thought of the idea.
"It's more dangerous for you to turn back, I'll pull your clothes, it'll be fine......"
"Good!" He thought about it for a moment, and agreed.
In this way, Long Tianba walked in front, happily pulling his shirt behind him.
Gladly walking, constantly scanning your surroundings. Her requirements are not high, as long as she finds a piece of mutton fat white jade, it is possible to find another piece for Ma Wuye and Old Man Long, and three pieces of mutton fat white jade will be satisfied.
If you let the old man know her purpose. Will definitely taunt her.
"Girl, is this still called undemanding? A piece of the best mutton fat white jade has been rare in the world. It's so greedy for you to ask for three dollars......"
Time is slipping by. When they left Sijiu City, they promised to return in three days. It's now the third day, and I just walked into Kunlun Mountain. I didn't even feel the shadow of jade, did I have to return in vain?
They followed the route of the jade miners up the mountain, and the traces left by the jade miners here are scarce, and this should be the place where the old jade workers said to scatter around to find jade.
According to the description of the old jade miner, there are more jade stones in this area. I happily felt the breath of the neighborhood, but I didn't feel anything.
They had been walking all morning, and she was feeling a little tired, she said to her lover.
"Let's find a sheltered place to rest for a while. Drink some water and eat something before leaving. β
"Good!" Long Tianba brought a stone nearby and asked his lover to sit in a relatively leeward place, and he stood outside to shield her from the wind.
"You also sit down and rest for a while, eat some dry food, the naan tastes good......" Xinran had already taken a big bite of the naan, and said to his lover with concern, giving up a place. After walking all morning, my stomach was empty, and I swallowed the dry food, and I suddenly felt strong in my body.
Seeing that his lover's face was particularly ruddy when he was blown by the wind and sand, Long Tianba also sat on the side. After eating, his eyes were fixed on his lover's face, and he said playfully.
"Wife, I only now understand the meaning of the idiom of beautiful and delicious food......"
"How did you learn Murong Ji's set......" said happily. Having said that, I feel very comfortable in my heart.
She took out her phone to check the time and found that there was no cell phone signal at all. I was shocked.
"Husband, the electrical signal is blocked here. We have lost touch with the outside world. β
"We must finish the matter as soon as possible, in case Haoqi and Murong Ji can't contact us. What should I do if I find it? β
The weather conditions here are harsh, the atmospheric pressure is very low, and it is difficult to breathe, and it may be that after entering the mountains this morning, there is no signal on the mobile phone. They felt that they were living in another world at this time, with no one in sight nearby, and the blue sky and white clouds fluttering under their feet.
I don't know what the road is for, at this time the mountain is foggy, everything in front of me looks a little blurry, and the howling wind is constantly raging in my ears.
No wonder the old man Caiyu said that he was only fifty years old and so old, living in such a harsh natural environment every day, the difficulties of life can be imagined, and the body will of course age prematurely.
At this moment, I regretted that the money I secretly gave to the old jade worker in the morning was too little, and I realized that it was not easy for the old man to live in the first place, and he had the opportunity to compensate the old man in the future.
I thought it was too naΓ―ve before I came, and it was said that mutton fat white jade is the essence of Kunlun Mountain Stone, and it is not easy to find the essence of such a vast and steep mountain.
If it is easy to find how the locals will allow the jade resources to be depleted and live in poverty all year round.
As the fog approached, the temperature soon began to drop, as if from autumn to winter, and the cold wind invaded their bodies everywhere.
When they entered the mountain, the two of them were wearing sportswear, and now the cold wind came in, and they couldn't help but sneeze.
Fortunately, they took two military coats from the old jade worker, and Long Tianba hurriedly took off the coats in the back basket, and each of them wore one, and their bodies were warm, and their courage returned.
Fortunately, they were wearing sneakers on their feet, which could not withstand the invasion of the severe cold, and the cold passed from under their feet, and Long Tianba stomped his feet.
"Wife, I think it's better to go back and come back when the equipment is complete, the conditions here are too difficult, and people can be frozen at any time."
"If we go back, Haoqi and Murong Ji will never agree to let us come again, not to mention that we still have the courage to come in? Our mobile phones now have no electrical signal, and we don't know how anxious we are at home, so we have to hurry. If we hold on a little longer, maybe we will have what we need not far away. She said unwillingly.
"I listen to you! Gladly, give me your handbag and I'll throw it in the basket......"
Seeing that the back basket that took out the two coats was empty, he nodded happily and put the handbag in.
Even if she has special abilities, she still needs to have resources to do it, and the mountain stone in front of her has no sense of qi at all, not to mention mutton fat white jade, ordinary jade can't feel it.
Now that he has stepped into the Kunlun Mountains, he must find the jade no matter what, otherwise the hard work will be useless.
Another gust of wind and sand blew, and Long Tianba took Xinran's hand and walked forward, to be exact, they moved forward a little bit.
"Walk a little longer, and if we don't have breath sensing before dark, we'll go back."
Xinran finally made a decision. Her little ability was ravaged by force majeure, and it didn't work at all.
Although Long Tianba has martial arts, it is obvious that she has become a drag on the other party.
The wind and sand blew on the people as much as they wanted, making strange noises, and the two of them wrapped their military coats tightly and continued to walk forward.
The terrain here is a bit weird, not far away is a deep canyon, walking on a high mountain peak, in the distance is a cloud mist, the wind constantly blows the clouds and mist.
Xinran continued to feel the breath nearby, and soon the canyon appeared beside her, and she found that there was a strange force in the canyon in a trance, as if a pair of big hands were pulling him by the blowing of the wind and sand.
She leaned against the edge of the cliff, feeling her feet shake and one foot dangling from the edge of the cliff, her body shaking.
Long Tianba found that his lover was in danger, and the calcium carbide sparks hurriedly grabbed her hand and pulled her up.
Xinran had just stood on the edge of the cliff with both feet, and before he let go of his heart, the rocks and soil on the edge of the cliff were gravity-pulled, and a large area began to collapse.
The two of them fell hand in hand to the bottom of the cliff, the wind whistling in their ears, grinning, as if mocking their small strength.
At this critical moment, Long Tianba used his internal strength, and his right hand kept grasping the attachments on the cliff, trying his best to slow down the speed of the two of them.
Suddenly, the sand, rocks, small trees and other objects on the cliff were constantly driven up and fell with them.
His left hand was tightly wrapped around his lover. Xinran leaned into the arms of her eldest husband and felt unusually warm.
Maybe the next moment is when the two go to Huangquan together, she will never regret it. Thinking of the two husbands at home, I don't know how sad they will be when they hear the bad news, don't do stupid things, and you must raise your children to adulthood.
In this life, I can't prove my identity as husband and wife for you, so I can only say I'm sorry.
In her thoughts, she found that the speed of her fall was getting faster and faster, and the white clouds were surrounding her, and she felt her husband's arms wrap around her thin waist like an iron wall.
She hugged her lover tightly, wanting to reduce the burden on the other party.
They had already entered the fog, and they couldn't see everything around them, let alone how far they were underneath the tunnel.
At this moment, he couldn't see the specific situation on the edge of the cliff clearly, Long Tianba's self-rescue action had stopped, and he could only let his body fall down.
His right hand was also around his lover's waist, and his ear was the familiar body fragrance of his lover. The two lived together for eight years, and everything about his wife forever fascinated him.
At this moment, he thought of his son, the sensible and well-behaved little figure, he knew that with Haoqi and Murong Ji here, the child would definitely grow up healthily.
Life is only a hundred years, and now I have no regrets about going to Huangquan with my lover.
He curled the corners of his lips and smiled, his hands hugged his lover tighter, and he was resigned to the arrangement of fate.
Suddenly, happily felt that they fell to the water, splashing a thousand huge waves, they were instantly submerged by the water, and kept sinking, and their ears seemed to hear what their lover said, and her consciousness stayed at this moment and fainted.
In Sijiu City, Haoqi and Murong Ji picked up Peng Peng after work.
The first thing Murong Ji did was not to cook, but to start making calls, and the mobile phone was not the gentle voice of his lover that excited him in the past, but it was the mechanical and dry answer of the service desk lady.
"The phone you dialed is not in the service area......"
"Second brother, it's not good!"
"Third brother, what are you calling again?" Haoqi said impatiently, putting down the vegetables he was cleaning.
"Second brother, they must have gone to Kunlun Mountain, and at this time the electrical signal was blocked by the high mountains and mountains. I'm worried about them, what if I'm in danger? I'm going to find them......"
"With the big brother here, they will be fine, you can't go. Kunlun Mountain is so big, do you know where they are, it is better to wait for their news when the time comes, I believe they ......" (to be continued......
