Everest

Pei Lei and the others came back in the evening. At that time, Geng Aiqing was sitting in the camp and taking pictures of the sunset on the horizon with his mobile phone. The temperature dropped a lot in the evening, and the mobile phone would automatically shut down after a while. Geng Aiqing covered the mobile phone. After a while, I barely turned on the machine and took a few photos.

"Why are you sitting here?" Lin Sheng saw him as soon as he entered the camp, and came over to greet him.

Seeing them, Geng Aiqing immediately turned over and got up: "You guys are back, how far did you get?"

"6900." Lin Sheng gestured to him, "There was a wind blowing in the back and I didn't dare to go up, so we came down together."

"That's not bad!" Geng Aiqing patted him on the shoulder encouragingly.

Yong Ke looked exhausted, and went back to the tent first. Lin Sheng was also in a hurry to sort out the photos, and followed suit. Pei Lei was in relatively good spirits.

"Where's Xiao Shen? Is he resting?" Pei Lei glanced at Shen Biwen's tent, still worried.

Geng Aiqing nodded: "He should be resting. After I came back, I found him some antipyretics and anti-inflammatory drugs. It should help a little."

Pei Lei sighed: "This kid, I thought he was the most reassuring at first? Now it's like this."

"Don't worry too much." Geng Aiqing comforted him, "Shen Biwen probably wouldn't joke about his body. Didn't he keep saying that he wanted to climb to the top? How could it be so easy..." Geng Aiqing didn't finish speaking, put The last few words were swallowed back in my stomach.

"It's okay! Don't be shy! It's all here, life and death are the same." Pei Lei patted him on the shoulder, "I'm just a little worried about his current state."

"What state?" Geng Aiqing asked in confusion.

Pei Lei frowned: "You don't know, when I first met Xiao Shen, he wasn't like this, at least he wasn't as... refreshed?"

Geng Aiqing smiled and said, "It's not good to be refreshed!"

"I can't say it well..." Pei Lei organized his words, "Didn't you notice that Xiao Shen has been gloomy all the time, and he doesn't talk much. I remember when I first met him, I just came down from Mount Everest. I failed, right? I'm in a bad mood." Very good, Xiao Shen found me and asked me if I wanted to try again. In fact, I was planning to give up at that time. Later, Xiao Shen came to me several times. Xiao Shen didn't react too much after I agreed..."

"Haha at that time, I always thought he was teasing me, but I didn't expect that he actually sent me some equipment later." Pei Lei smiled, "Later I found out that he was actually like that, a bit gloomy, only when he mentioned pearls. Feng will be more serious and strict.”

Geng Aiqing remembered that when he first met Shen Biwen, he was indeed such a pee ==

"It's obviously not normal for him to be like this now." Pei Lei shook his head, "But according to his personality, he wouldn't tell if you asked him."

"Could it be that you are thinking too much, Uncle Pei?" Geng Aiqing thought for a while, and said his thoughts, "Maybe it's just because he finally came here, as you said, he always wanted to come here, so it's a little Excited?"

"Hyperic?" Pei Lei curled his lips, "He's not hyperactive, according to me, he doesn't take his own life seriously!"

Geng Aiqing: "..."

"Is your relationship with him good?" Pei Lei asked.

Geng Aiqing froze for a moment: "Ah, it's okay..."

"Pay more attention to him. If we encounter such a situation again, we should take precautions." Pei Lei became serious, "This is not a joke."

"Okay." Geng Aiqing nodded, feeling the pressure on her shoulders suddenly increased a lot.

After Pei Lei finished speaking, he left. Before entering the tent, he reminded Geng Aiqing to strengthen the tent, saying that there might be a strong wind at night.

Geng Aiqing responded, but didn't take it to heart.

The setting sun in the sky is actually not clear, it is blocked by the snow-capped mountains, but you can see the sky dimming little by little, Geng Aiqing felt a little cold, and subconsciously rubbed his hands, the pain in his palm made him tremble , he looked down and found that the skin on his palm was a little peeling, he didn't know if it was because of what happened in the afternoon.

Geng Aiqing shook it vigorously, and then put his hand back into his pocket. He no longer had the energy to take care of these small wounds.

Sure enough, there was a wind at night. When Geng Aiqing was awakened by the wind, he remembered that he forgot to reinforce the tent. He leaned over to the tent and listened to the wind outside. Some luckily, he thought that if nothing happened last night, he should be fine tonight.

At two o'clock in the morning, the wind was getting stronger and stronger, and Geng Aiqing couldn't sleep at all because of the wind. He also plugged the soft earplugs Shen Biwen gave him, but the rattling tent kept shaking So, the cork is basically useless.

At three o'clock in the morning, Geng Aiqing began to regret that one corner of his tent had been blown away, and it must not be a good thing that one edge was lifted up. He finally decided to go out to strengthen the tent. After putting on all his clothes, he mustered Courage opened the tent and got out.

Surprisingly, he didn't expect that it was still snowing outside, the strong wind directly knocked him into a somersault, and then the snowflakes began to hit his face, Geng Aiqing barely stabilized his body, pulled the zipper of the down jacket to his chin, and groped He looked at the blown corner of the tent and tried to hold it in place.

But it's not that easy.

Li couldn't hear any sound in the entire camp except for the sound of the wind. Except for the faint lights in a few tents, most of it was dark. In fact, it didn't matter whether it was dark or not, because the beating of snowflakes made him almost unable to open his eyes. Soon he saw that the second corner of the tent had also been raised, and his entire tent was half-tilted.

Geng Aiqing's hands were already frozen, and in fact his legs kneeling on the ground were almost numb. The cold is not the most important thing to worry about, but death is. If this continues, he may really die in his own body. In front of the tent, the fear of death gave him courage. He gave up his tent and crawled towards Shen Biwen's tent next to him.

The wind was so strong that he could only kneel on the ground and move forward step by step. He didn't even dare to open his mouth, for fear that the snow would pour into his throat and frostbite his throat.

Shen Biwen... Shen Biwen...

I don't know if Shen Biwen really heard the cry for help in his heart, Shen Biwen's tent suddenly lit up, and then under Geng Aiqing's misty vision, he saw Shen Biwen get out of it, and then he Feeling his arm being pulled forward violently, he was dragged forward for more than half a meter, and then half of his body fell into Shen Biwen's tent.

Geng Aiqing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Cough, cough..." Geng Aiqing huddled in a corner of Shen Biwen's tent, coughing desperately, while Shen Biwen was helping him wipe the snow off his face.

"I..." Geng Aiqing opened his mouth and found that his voice was terrible hoarse, but he still tried to explain, "The tent was blown by the wind...cough...cough!"

"I know." Shen Biwen interrupted him, "Don't talk."

Geng Aiqing took a sip of the water he handed over, and the water was burning down her throat.

"You can sleep here." Shen Biwen moved to the side. Although his sleeping bag is not a double sleeping bag, it can barely sleep two people.

"No, no need... cough cough—!" Geng Aiqing hurriedly refused.

Shen Biwen paused: "I won't do anything to you, if you continue like this, you will have a fever tomorrow."

"I didn't mean that..." Geng Aiqing finally calmed down and said in a low voice.

Shen Biwen didn't answer.

Geng Aiqing thought for a while, took off her coat, opened Shen Biwen's sleeping bag and got in.
