It's a love rival!

Han Yu is still in a deep sleep and has not yet woken up.

At this moment, Qi An, who seemed to realize something, felt a little complicated.

The wind outside the tent was still howling, but someone inside the sleeping bag was as quiet as possible.Qi An looked at his outline again and again, and was so shocked by such a bizarre guess in his heart that he was speechless.

"The jade pendant that never leaves the body".

Qi An closed his eyes forcefully, and many memories that had been sealed for a long time flooded up in his heart.

That year, his mother finally couldn't stand the life of struggling on the poverty line all day long, so she left the house cruelly.

What protection can a father who can only drink and gamble give two young children?

Qi An began to imitate the way the villagers did, and went to the tourist areas in the city to sell some local trinkets—as a child, he had to compete with a group of adults, even though everyone pitied him behind their backs, instead of grabbing customers for him. There are no words of accusation about the source, but the money he can make is still quite limited.

My sister's illness requires more careful maintenance.

And no matter how hard he tried, it was only enough to make ends meet.

If this situation continues, perhaps when she is older, the younger sister can only wait for death.

money.How to make money in the end!

Qi An still remembers that day of going to the market quite clearly.

The sun is fine.

The younger sister begged herself to take her to the market.

Qi An carried his little sister in a pannier on his back. On the day of the market, many tourists from other places would come here, and the little things in his hands would become easier to sell.

A little girl in national costume stopped in front of him, and seemed to be very curious about the sister on his back: "Is this your little sister?"

Qi An nodded awkwardly: "She wanted to see what it was like to go to the market, so I brought her along."

The younger sister was sitting in the back basket, struggling to hold the edge of the bamboo back basket, sticking out her small head and looking curiously at the little sister in front of her—her skin is very fair, and her smile is especially innocent and beautiful. It is obvious that she is very popular at home. The existence of petting.

The little girl seemed to like a bracelet in Qi An's hand very much: "I want to buy this back and give it to my mother..."

It was the first time Qi An saw such a pretty girl of the same age.

Even if she has very little social experience, she can clearly see that this little girl who goes out with a nanny behind her must be born rich or noble.

Perhaps the other party's smile was too dazzling.

Not only did Qi An appear cramped, he even stammered a bit when speaking, and he stumbled when negotiating a price.

The little girl seemed to be waiting for someone, chatting with Qi An boredly: "Where are your family members? Why did you bring your younger sister here..."

It seemed to be very difficult to open my mouth and talk about my embarrassing family situation in front of this girl.

The father is not up to date, the mother runs away from home, the younger sister is in poor health...

Even the silent nanny who followed the little girl couldn't help but glance sideways at him.

And the little girl who had been listening attentively couldn't help but exclaimed repeatedly: "My God!"

After hesitating for a while, the little girl leaned closer to him, almost whispering into his ear, "Can you climb mountains?"

Qi An didn't understand what she meant.

But he answered her honestly: "Yes, we have played in the mountains since we were young."

The little girl shook her head in dissatisfaction: "It's not the back mountain, it's the snow mountain with snow on the top. If you can climb that kind of snow mountain, you can get a lot of money for leading others!"

The message of "a lot of money" was keenly captured by Qi An.

"Really?" Even though he felt very ashamed, Qi An asked the question abruptly, "There is a snow mountain near our house, and I went there to play."

For him now, money is really much more important than he imagined before.

"Yeah!" The other party nodded affirmatively, "There are many snow-capped mountains in Province Y. Last time, my father's friend went to Haba Snow Mountain. Many villagers there make money by leading people to climb mountains."

The little girl I met by chance not only told Qi An in detail some of the precautions she knew, but also took out all the cash on her body: "Grandpa gave it to me before I went out. You take it!"

The nanny hesitated to speak, trying to stop his wayward young master, but he gave him a dissatisfied look: "Grandpa gave it to me, and I can spend it as I want."

Before Qi An hesitated, the little girl had already stuffed the wad of money into his back basket, turned around and left without looking back.

Except for the innocent smile of the other party, Qi An can only think of the blue jade pendant that slipped out of the other party's neckline when he bent down in front of the booth——

Jade is produced in his hometown, so Qi An's eyesight for seeing jade has also been trained. Such a jadeite with excellent water quality almost attracted his attention immediately.

I really hope to see you again someday.

Qi An is really a genius in the field of mountaineering.

Starting from Haba Snow Mountain, he discovered for the first time that there is such a big world outside, with higher snow mountains, wider continents and never-ending climbers.

The villagers at the foot of the mountain were very tolerant of this child who was alone with his younger sister. An uncle even passed on his experience in mountaineering for many years to him, and recommended him to enroll in a mountaineering school in Tibet: the school does not cost himself Money, but can learn more climbing techniques there.

After climbing Everest at the age of 16, Qi An's life completely turned in another direction.

The money problem is no longer as overwhelming as it used to be. My sister's condition is stabilizing day by day, and she even got into a good university. Now she is just waiting for the right time for surgery.

Qi An's footprints are all over the world. He has seen how big the world is and how small human beings are, and he is also in awe of every mountain that has brought him a new life. All these changes and turning points are thanks to one person .

Qi An stared at the sleeping guy in front of him, trying to find a familiar outline between his eyebrows and eyes.

Han Yu seemed to move unaccustomed.

In a high-altitude area, you may not be able to sleep so peacefully.

Qi An laughed at himself—in vain I have been thinking about it for many years, but in fact the person I was looking for was right in front of my eyes.I once had a peer experience, but I still didn't recognize it.

----

When Han Yu woke up, Qi An was no longer in the tent.

He thought of the other party's categorical attitude before, and his heart sank a bit—the wish of trying to climb Everest may not be realized this time, but at least he must continue to struggle.

He got out of his sleeping bag, wanting to intercede with Qi An.

Here is 6000 meters above sea level.

Qi An actually lit a cigarette.

The cold wind brought in by Han Yu blew away the gray smoke for a moment.

Qi An silently snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand.

"What's the matter?" Qi An raised his head, still looking at him with that indifferent look.

"Qi, brother Qi..." Han Yu had been typing out the draft for a long time, and he was still a little embarrassed to speak at the moment, "I, can I not go down?"

Qi An didn't quite understand his persistence: "Considering your physical condition, it is still not recommended to climb to the summit this year. After reaching a higher altitude, you may be even more uncomfortable."

Seeing Han Yu's unacceptable appearance, Qi An comforted him for the first time: "If you still want to come next year, I will take you again."

Being moved by Qi An's sudden warmth for a moment, Han Yu was actually a little moved in his heart - he knew Qi An's financial situation, he failed to make it to the top this year, and he was willing to come here again next year for him, which can be said to be very Be responsible.

"But..." Han Yu thought about the task that had to be completed, but he was still unwilling, "I really have a reason to go up, Brother Qi, can you wait a few days and see?"

Seeing that Qi An seemed to be a little loose, Han Yu hurriedly made another promise: "I will never make fun of my own safety, Brother Qi, let me try again!"

Qi An pondered for a while.

The ice and snow outside is still bitingly cold.

Occasionally, one or two conversations in English can be heard.

Inside the tent, the two were silent, it seemed that it was only a short while, and it seemed that a century had passed.

Han Yu's heart was fluctuating, and he didn't know whether he would face a cruel sentence or a new turning point.

Finally, Qi An let out a long sigh of relief: "Okay, then let's wait a few days and see."

"Thank you, Brother Qi!" Han Yu's eyes flashed with unspeakable excitement for the rest of his life after the catastrophe, and Qi An's eyes also flashed a smile.

During the few minutes of silence just now, Qi An had already considered various possible situations—it seemed that Han Yu had an inexplicable obsession with successfully reaching the summit in this climbing season, and he could hardly bear to see His disappointed eyes.

Although he experienced diarrhea, it seems that Han Yu's physical condition is recovering well, and there are no fatal sequelae - as long as Han Yu's body does not have any serious problems, Qi An thinks that he can still give it a try.

The big deal is that when you reach the camp above and find that you can't adapt, it's not too late to retreat.

Han Yu let go of the hidden worries in his heart for the time being, and went back happily. Qi An stayed where he was, and couldn't think too much about the climbing plan in his mind——

He really wanted to ask Han Yu, if he still remembered that many years ago, he had done so much to help change someone's life?

The author has something to say: Qi Qi Qi Ai Ai Dashen: You, do you remember me?

Han Confused Little Feather: What are you talking about?

PS A big guy once said that he smoked when he climbed the mountain, but I forgot whether it was 6000 meters or not (T_T)
