Everest

"Why are we still fighting...!" Pei Lei pulled Geng Aiqing away to be hugged by Lin Sheng who was following behind him, and he went to help Shen Biwen up. Geng Aiqing stopped moving after being pulled away. Standing outside the tent and looking inside coldly, he thought his expression was vicious and angry, but the corners of his eyes were somewhat reddened to reveal his current mood. Lin Sheng was still muttering what he told you about Brother Shen a long time ago. His personality is just like that, I told you to stay away from him, it’s not like you don’t know your temper... But he turned Geng Aiqing to see his red eyes, shut his mouth immediately, and told him the matter intuitively It's not that simple, he hesitated for a moment, patted Geng Aiqing's face, and smiled: "What's wrong, Young Master Geng?"

"Are you blind?" Geng Aiqing slapped his hands away and said impatiently, "I've never seen a fight!"

Lin Sheng was not angry either, he leaned over and whispered, "What's the matter? Why did Brother Shen mess with you?"

Geng Aiqing snorted coldly, and just about to tell the story, Pei Lei pulled Shen Biwen out of the tent, Geng Aiqing glanced at Shen Biwen, his clothes had been arranged, and there were no scars on his face, if not Everyone saw with their own eyes that Shen Biwen didn't look like the one who was beaten at all.

"Hey, didn't you two fight?" Lin Sheng spoke quickly, and asked when he saw Shen Biwen's appearance.

Geng Aiqing didn't speak, of course he hit, but he didn't hit hard at all. At that time, he rushed forward when he was out of breath, but he relaxed after a few hits, because Shen Biwen didn't fight back at all. Keeping his eyes closed, bearing his anger, Geng Aiqing felt meaningless after hitting him a few times. He felt at a loss. Looking at Shen Biwen's face with closed eyes, he felt very at a loss. Since childhood, he has never There was never a moment like that when he didn't know what to do.

Shen Biwen kept looking at him, but Geng Aiqing swallowed back what he was about to say, and stopped looking at him.

"Xiao Shen is fine." Pei Lei's voice was a little tired, "What's the matter with you two?"

No one answered his question.

Pei Lei was finally a little angry, and he raised his volume a little: "If there is any conflict, let's talk about it, how can we leave tomorrow if you are like this?!"

Finally, Shen Biwen spoke up: "We're fine, it's just a small conflict, and it won't affect the plan."

Hearing his voice, Geng Aiqing felt indescribably uncomfortable. He was dazzled by anger just now. At that moment, he didn't know whether he was angry because he was cheated or because of other reasons, but standing outside in the ice and snow After a while, the anger in his heart was suppressed by the ice and snow, and the remaining grievances and pain rushed out of his heart, gurgling and tormenting his thinking, and he suddenly didn't understand. Bi Wen came here with the thought of dying from the very beginning, so what is he?

Unfortunately, he was still seriously thinking about how to explain to his father when he went back, which was really ridiculous.

"He's right, we have nothing to do." Geng Aiqing smiled, "It's just a small fight."

Shen Biwen didn't expect him to answer, and looked at him in surprise.

"Really?" Pei Lei obviously didn't believe it.

Geng Aiqing opened his mouth to make up a reason, but suddenly felt a numbness in his brain, the pain filtered out of his brain like a net, and then waves of dull pain, he didn't want to talk anymore, and walked around the door blocking Shen Biwen and Pei Lei went back to the tent to find the high-voltage medicine that had been thrown in the corner, poured a few pills into their mouths, and then got out again.

Everyone was outside looking at him.

Geng Aiqing grinned and said, "Headache, altitude sickness, it's severe, I'll take some medicine haha."

Shen Biwen looked at him with his lips pursed, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Okay..." Seeing that neither of them wanted to explain, Pei Lei had no choice but to give up, but he still said uneasy, "If there is anything else, let's talk about it. If we can't solve it, let's help solve it together."

"Yeah, don't worry." Geng Aiqing smiled again, "We know."

His smile hurt Shen Biwen's eyes, Shen Biwen wanted to hold him in his arms, wanted him to vent his anger and complaints, and kissed his lips like the night before...but in the end he He still didn't move, he knew that he didn't have the right to do it anymore.

At [-] o'clock in the afternoon, the rescue team finally arrived, but the helicopter could not come because the huge cyclone would cause an avalanche, so finally some rescuers came up to help Wu Wei and they safely transported Li Laisheng's body to a place that could be approached by a helicopter. Mr. Zong is really a good man with high morals. When several people in the rescue team saw Mr. Li's sleeping bag, they couldn't help their eyes turning red. Fang Chuan was a little puzzled. Mr. Li was a good friend of Shen Biwen's father. , why according to what they said, why didn't they contact each other later, or why didn't Shen Biwen directly follow Mr. Li's mountaineering team?

Of course, Geng Aiqing had more questions than that. When the rescue team was discussing the route down the mountain, he found Wu Wei and wanted to ask him.

"You want to know?" Wu Wei was a little surprised, "Why?"

Geng Aiqing also knew that his request might be very unreasonable in Wu Wei's view, but he really wanted to know why Shen Biwen became like this.

"But..." Wu Wei hesitated, "You can ask him directly..."

"He won't tell me." Geng Aiqing interrupted him and said firmly.

Wu Wei paused: "But..."

"I know that I am very strong, not to mention that you may not know too much." Geng Aiqing lowered his voice and said softly, "It was I who discovered that Shen Biwen's state was not right."

When he said this, Wu Wei immediately became nervous: "What do you mean?"

"The mentality is very bad... In short, it's a bit abnormal..." Geng Aiqing didn't dare to speak too clearly, and said a few words vaguely. After he finished speaking, he said seriously, "If I ask him, he will definitely not tell me, and maybe It will irritate him, brother, what do you know, just tell me, so I can be prepared."

Wu Wei glanced at Shen Biwen who was standing in the distance, and his expression became serious: "Actually, I don't know much about what I want to say. Do you know about the economic crisis a few years ago?"

Geng Aiqing nodded. He had the impression that it was an exaggeration to say that it was an economic crisis in the past six months. It was not that serious at all, and his company took the opportunity to make a lot of money.

"Shen Biwen's father runs a chain hotel. If you pay attention to the hotel industry, you should have heard his father's name, or Shen's. The entire Shen family hotel is managed by Shen Biwen's father, and he will Helping his father with part of the work, these are all I heard from Mr. Li. His father likes mountain climbing, and because of this reason, he met Mr. Li, and the relationship is still very good. Mr. Li mentioned to me that Shen Biwen's father, The work pressure is very high..." Wu Wei paused, "At that time, his father was still planning to climb Mount Everest. I heard that this plan was just talking about it with Mr. Li for seven or eight years. Before that time, the financial crisis dragged the Shen family down...Li always wanted to help, but you also know that it's not that easy..."

"...Then things happened too fast. After Shen's family declared bankruptcy, Shen Biwen's father committed suicide by jumping off the building. His mother...his mother was a very romantic person. She settled in China for her husband and spent half her life in school. Chinese, in order to communicate more with her husband... In short, I jumped down too..." Wu Wei sighed, "It really happened too fast, Shen Biwen was out of town at the time... When Mr. Li found him later, he was in In the hospital..."

Wu Wei recalled: "At that time, the Shen family had nothing left and needed someone to do the liquidation of assets. Mr. Li originally wanted to help him find someone to do it, but he insisted on doing it by himself. During that time, he committed suicide twice. …It should be twice, because I accompanied Mr. Li to see him twice. The hospital suggested that he should undergo psychological treatment, and he agreed, but he was discharged from the hospital after less than two weeks of treatment, as if he had changed. I have never heard of the news of his suicide, and when we met again later, knowing that he would continue to climb the mountain, Mr. Li was relieved afterwards."

Geng Aiqing thought about many possibilities, but he never thought that this memory would be so tragic.

He has heard of Shen's Hotel, and actually stayed in it more than once. He also knows that Shen's went bankrupt during the economic crisis, and all the hotels under his name were sold to others. After all, these so-called "losers" in their circle "The example of " can always be used as a negative teaching material. He even heard that the crisis forced many people to die. No one asked who it was, and no one asked what kind of family ruin it was.

It turns out that there is no need to ask, Shen Biwen is the one who experienced it first-hand.

"Why...Shen Biwen and Mr. Li broke up later?" Geng Aiqing asked.

"Break?" Wu Wei froze for a moment before shaking his head, "They didn't quarrel, it was Shen Biwen's unilateral reluctance to deal with Mr. Li. Mr. Li tried to help him several times, but he refused. It took a long time. , Mr. Li saw that he was doing well, so he didn't care about it anymore."

But why?Geng Aiqing still didn't know.

After Wu Wei finished speaking, he looked at him seriously: "I don't know what you mean, if you really find some problems..." Wu Wei said and didn't know how to continue, so he hesitated for a long time, "Shen Bi Wen worked so hard during that time. He spent several years liquidating and selling off Shen's assets bit by bit, which was equivalent to cutting off his own family with a knife. It is said that he has no courage and cannot take on the responsibility of rejuvenating the Shen family... Mr. Li said something, he said that after encountering such a thing, who stipulates that he can't be weaker, being strong is just easier said than done."

"...President Li also said that if he really made a decision, I would not stop him."

After Wu Wei finished speaking, the two of them were silent for a long time. Geng Aiqing wanted to talk, but when he opened his mouth, he felt that his head was swollen, and he could hardly stand still because of the pain. He hoped that this was just a symptom of altitude sickness.

Geng Aiqing didn't agree to his request, and didn't mention it again. He helped Wu Wei move out Mr. Li's body, put on the rescue tools prepared by the rescue team, and then watched Wu Wei stand with a backpack on his back. The edge of the North Col ice wall.

At 02:30 p.m., snowflakes began to float in the sky again, but there was no wind. The team members who came with Mr. Li had already descended, and the rescue team had already left. Wu Wei stood in the snowflakes and squeezed towards Geng Aiqing. With a smile: "Wait for you to get down safely, then find me for a drink."

Geng Aiqing hugged him and nodded seriously.

All the climbers in the North Col camp came out to see them off, except Shen Biwen.

Geng Aiqing watched Wu Wei's figure disappear on the ice wall. When he turned around, he happened to see Shen Biwen standing at the door of the tent. Although he wore a lot of clothes and wrapped himself into an oval fat man, Geng Aiqing Knowing his thin body under his clothes, and his lonely heart.

For some reason, Geng Aiqing suddenly remembered the first time he met Shen Biwen. He remembered that Shen Biwen's eyes were very dark and heavy, and seemed to hide a lot of things. Now Shen Biwen, There is such a long distance between them, it seems that there is already a barrier of life and death, but Geng Aiqing still feels that she has seen his eyes, and the things in his eyes still exist, but they are no longer the same as before It was so gloomy.

Geng Aiqing suddenly figured it out. He knew why Shen Biwen insisted on leaving Mr. Li's care, and why Shen Biwen would rather find a group of strangers to form a team than follow the elders he knew well, because he was already prepared to die. Be prepared, Li Laisheng, who was familiar with him, will be saddened by his death for a long time, but for a group of strangers who have only been together for a few months, his death will not bring about too many emotional fluctuations for others, maybe there will be, but in It seemed he would soon forget.

Then he can sleep in the world's highest mountain without any worries.

Geng Aiqing looked at Shen Biwen, and suddenly her nose felt sore, she wanted to die when she wanted to die, what did she want to do so much?What do you need to be so gentle when you die once?
