Everest

"It's okay." Shen Biwen stuffed the handkerchief back into his pocket, without a trace of abnormal color on his face, "You have symptoms of bleeding from your mouth, pay attention."

"En." Geng Aiqing coughed a few more times, suppressing the subtle feeling in his heart, maybe Shen Biwen didn't deliberately lean over at all, and the wind and snow just now were really heavy, it's normal that he couldn't see clearly .

Pei Lei noticed the situation on their side, walked over and asked concerned: "Is there nothing wrong?"

Geng Aiqing gave him a thumbs up, indicating that she was fine.

"That's fine." Pei Lei pointed forward, "Hasn't it been a few years since I went through this?"

He was referring to the ice layer lying in front of them. He said it was an ice layer, but it was actually a glacier crack with a width of about three meters. Because not all glaciers on snow-capped mountains are connected together, this kind of broken ice often occurs. The seam, they need to use tools to climb over it, and then they can continue up.

The one they encountered was not too big, but the height of nearly seven or eight meters under the ice crevasse still made him a little numb. He shook his head: "Indeed...it's been a while."

"You can see if you can go there. We have walked a lot today. We have to go up after this. If you can't see it, you can go here first." Pei Lei saw that his face turned pale, and sighed He breathed a sigh of relief, "But I suggest you try it, because this is already a small ice crevasse on Mount Everest. If you can't get through this, you basically don't need to go any further. What do you think?"

Yongke in front had already started to build the telescopic ladder. She skillfully connected one end of the ladder and fixed it here, and the other end on the other side of the ice crevice. After fixing it, Yongke turned his head and waved to him. , and then went up.

"Go ahead." Geng Aiqing exhaled lightly, "I'll try."

"Success." Pei Lei patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go through this first, and we'll talk about it later when it doesn't work."

"En." Geng Aiqing nodded, and climbed up the rock.

Yongke has already climbed halfway. The telescopic ladder they bought is actually very stable and can bear more than 300 kilograms. It is no problem to pass two or three people at the same time. But seeing such a person walking forward on a ladder without any protection, How to say also a little apprehensive.

Yong Ke was already familiar with such a situation, she walked to the opposite side almost without pausing, and after confirming that the ladder was not in danger, Yong Ke fixed the other end of the safety rope to a stone on the opposite side, and then Lin Sheng walked second After passing by, Luosang followed Lin Sheng, and after Lin Sheng pulled Luosang over there, he began to signal Geng Aiqing to come over.

Pei Lei also pushed him to let him go up first, and Shen Biwen, who was about to go over, leaned aside and gave him his seat.

"Don't be afraid, come here." Lin Sheng opened his hand towards him, "Come here, daddy will pick you up."

Pei Lei also patted him on the shoulder trying to make him relax.

It was this feeling of being taken care of again, and Geng Aiqing suddenly felt depressed. He was not a complete novice, but he was regarded as a key protection object because he hadn't played for a while?He can't take it.

So Geng Aiqing arrogantly pointed her middle finger at Lin Cheng, then gritted her teeth and stood on top of the telescopic ladder.

Walking on the ladder and walking on flat ground are two completely different feelings. When you walk on it, you realize that the gap in the middle of the ladder is so large, and the place you can step on is only a metal bar at the connection. Geng Aiqing told himself in his heart that there was nothing to be afraid of, it was only 3 meters away, as long as he didn't look down, and don't be frightened by the danger. I have to say that Geng Aiqing's psychological suggestion was still effective, he just stood in the middle a little. He paused for a moment to balance his body, and then walked steadily to the opposite side.

Lin Sheng fulfilled his promise and gave him a "father" hug, but Geng Aiqing avoided it with disdain.

Shen Biwen came after him, and Pei Lei was the last one to come.

"Uncle Pei, hurry up." Lin Sheng joked, "I'll take a photo of you."

Pei Lei smiled, but joking aside, Pei Lei was still very cautious. His experience of climbing Mount Everest told him that any small mistake would kill him.

But in the end, the problem was not with him.

Geng Aiqing is the closest to the telescopic ladder, because he is inexperienced, so he naturally wants to see other people's skills. Although it is just a simple walk, there is still something worth learning. At first, he only heard a subtle sound , the voice was very small, but Geng Aiqing could still tell that the voice came from under their feet. Lin Sheng, Yong Ke, and Lausanne were a little farther away. move.

Gradually the voice got louder, and Geng Aiqing glanced at Shen Biwen.

Obviously, Shen Biwen also heard that voice, and a trace of doubt appeared on his face.

"Xiao Lin, I'm here. Did you take a picture for me?" Pei Lei had already reached the edge of the metal ladder, and he made a joke in a good mood.

Suddenly there was the sound of an ice cube breaking under his feet. Shen Biwen and Geng Aiqing looked at each other and rushed over quickly.

Shen Biwen moved quickly, but Geng Aiqing was the closest. He grabbed Pei Lei's arm and pulled him to this side. Pei Lei also reacted quickly, and immediately lay down on the snow to make sure he was with the snow. In the contact area, the ice layer under Pei Lei's feet shattered for a while. Geng Aiqing heaved a sigh of relief. He smiled at Shen Biwen, then stood up a little bit and wanted to continue to pull Pei Lei up. At this moment, His foot slipped, and he slid directly from Pei Lei's side towards the broken ice layer.

Geng Aiqing's mind went blank for a moment, Lin Sheng and Shen Biwen rushed over, Yong Ke and Luo Sang dragged Pei Lei up.

"Grab the ladder!" Shen Biwen shouted anxiously.

Geng Aiqing shuddered, seeing that he was about to slide down the ice layer, he kicked off the ice wall next to him with both legs, accumulated some strength for himself, jumped up, and put his hands on the ladder The horizontal bar, and then he was suspended in the air.

"Can you still come this way?" Shen Biwen shouted, and he took a few steps forward, trying to grab Geng Aiqing's hand.

Pei Lei immediately dragged him back: "Don't you think there are not enough cracks?" Then he turned to Geng Aiqing, "Come over here, we are holding the rope, we won't fall."

Geng Aiqing glanced at the safety rope hanging on his body, and heaved a sigh of relief: "It's okay, I can go there."

As he said that, he held the horizontal bar on the ladder and moved forward a little.

There was always the sound of ice falling and hitting the ground on the ice wall. The sound was quite clear at a height of seven or eight meters. Geng Aiqing didn't want to look down, but it wasn't a question of whether he wanted to look or not. He always felt that If I can't grasp it, I will fall, and then it will shatter into pieces like those shattered ice cubes.

He felt that his palms were sweating, and his whole body was sweating. He didn't know if it was because he hadn't experienced this for a long time. He didn't feel the excitement, but a little more fear.

He looked at everyone's worried eyes, and suddenly felt a little shaken about his trip to Mount Everest.

Can you really climb to the top of the mountain?

"Don't be in a daze!" Shen Biwen scolded.

Geng Aiqing came back to his senses, shook his head to wake himself up, and then continued to swing towards the edge. When he reached the edge of the ice wall, he was already a little out of strength. Finally, Shen Biwen and Pei Lei helped him up. .

Geng Aiqing's rationality came back when he stepped on the stable ground. He lay on the snow, and the snow poured into his mouth. Although it was very cold, Geng Aiqing felt very at ease.

Yong Ke extended the telescopic ladder one more section and fixed it here. She looked at Geng Aiqing: "You go back first?"

Geng Aiqing was a little ashamed, he really didn't have the strength to go any further.

"Yes." Pei Lei patted him on the shoulder, "It's okay, go back and have a good rest, I have to come back tomorrow, how about it? Who else wants to go back?"

No one spoke, and everyone wanted to move on a little more.

"It's okay, if I can't, I'll go back by myself..." Geng Aiqing hurriedly said, before he finished speaking, Shen Biwen took a step forward, "I'll go with him."

"Huh?" Pei Lei asked strangely, "You?"

Shen Biwen nodded and explained, "I have a fever."

Pei Lei's complexion changed, he stepped forward and reached out to touch his forehead, his face darkened immediately, and he asked angrily, "When did it start?"

Shen Biwen paused, but still replied: "It's been a few days."

"Are you desperate?!" Pei Lei's expression turned serious, obviously suppressing his anger, "Do you know what the consequences of having a fever at such a high altitude will be? No matter how serious it is, you will die!"

Shen Biwen didn't speak.

"You go back with him." Pei Lei rubbed his temples, "I'm so fucking convinced, go back and have a good rest, Geng Aiqing, look at him!"

"Okay..." Geng Aiqing responded.

After climbing down the ice slope, the road became easier, and Geng Aiqing and Shen Biwen walked back together.

Shen Biwen remained silent, just following him.

Geng Aiqing suddenly remembered the unnatural flush that Lin Sheng had seen on Shen Biwen's face that night, and he was surprised: "You have had a fever since Lin Sheng... that night?"

Shen Biwen glanced at him a little slowly, then nodded.

Geng Aiqing took a deep breath, and couldn't help but slapped his shoulder: "You don't want to die...I'll..."

Shen Biwen staggered when he pushed him, shaking in a bit of embarrassment.

"What's wrong with you?" Geng Aiqing felt that something was wrong with him.

Shen Biwen paused, as if he wanted to slow down, but after a few minutes, he finally shook his head and admitted: "I climbed too fast today, and I feel a little dizzy."

"..." Geng Aiqing resigned himself to his fate and put his arms around Shen Biwen's arm, helping him to walk down the mountain together.
