Chapter 30: Cold Mountain (Part II)
The curvy stone steps were icy and creaked when you walked on them. The snow on the branches on both sides had not yet melted, and the wind blew and shook gently. Last night's snow must have fallen hard, or it wouldn't have covered the entire mountain white overnight.
Baiyun is still ahead of the curve. According to what Xu Zhisheng said, if she falls and has him as a backstop, he will naturally have to walk behind, and the responsibility will be greater than that of the person in front.
"If you look at these footprints, it looks like someone has already explored the way for us."
"If it's all human footprints, I'm afraid that a ferocious animal lives in seclusion here, are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid, choose your prey from the perspective of an animal, you should choose fat, obviously you are much more dangerous than me."
"If animals also love beauty, then you must be the first person to be targeted. Seriously, if you're in real danger, leave me alone, don't look back, just run down the mountain. ”
"I've never heard of a wild animal eating a man on this mountain. If so, it would have been reported a long time ago. Let's not scare ourselves anymore. ”
In this climate, talking about insecurity makes them feel even more cold. After a few steps, Xu Zhisheng was about to take off his glasses to wipe the fog on the mirror, but he couldn't bear to repeat such an action, so he had to take off his glasses and put them in his pocket. When the two finished chatting, Bai Yunguan walked in front, and Xu Zhisheng lagged behind a lot, as if it was a mountaineering competition, and the victory and defeat were clearly visible.
"Cloud, slow down, wait for me."
Bai Yun turned to look at Xu Zhisheng, who was left behind by himself, and took out his camera to take a picture of him. Of course, he is not the protagonist, the protagonist is the Nameless Mountain, he is just an embellishment of the Nameless Mountain, a companion of her, a person who stands low and obeys her orders.
The two never took a photo together, nor did they ever take a picture of each other. Xu Zhisheng had an idea, but before acting, she was rejected by Bai Yun, she either covered her face with her hands, or hid behind his back, playing a game of hide and seek with children, which was a little funny. In the past few hundred years, in addition to the unit punch-in and face records and the monitoring of public places, she has avoided leaving images, and even her own mobile phone does not have a clear photo of her face. The longer you live, the less you want to leave behind. Bai Yun once commented on himself.
Why she awkwardly took out her mobile phone to take a picture of him at this moment, she herself couldn't tell. It is impossible to say that he sent the painting to her all the way and she was not moved at all. But none of the things he did for her were what she asked him to do, all of them were of his own free will. So, no matter what she did to him, she didn't feel guilty in her heart. The two separated from Lingxi and then reunited in Yangcheng, but it was only a time when the sun rose and the moon set. When a quick meeting is not what the two want, the union of the two bodies is postponed or forgotten.
In order to reach the summit before noon, the two had to speed up, and they didn't talk much during the while, but they could hear each other's gasps.
In addition to the snow-covered pine trees and the small grass bent by the snow, there is not a single small animal with a face exposed, not even a small squirrel, let alone a small monkey or a little tiger.
The Nameless Mountain is as quiet as a sleeping lion, and if it sleeps forever in a dream, it means that it does not speak, and the chances of Baiyun finding a flaw in it become very slim. The dream about her father was just wishful thinking on her part.
