Everest

On May [-]th, they spent the last night in the Everest base camp. Although the mulberry simmering ceremony during the day slightly diluted everyone's nervousness, when night fell, everyone kept silent tacitly. All the photos in the camera were transferred to the computer, and two spare batteries were prepared. When waiting for the transfer, I sat at the table and wrote the mountaineering diary. Luosang sat next to him and looked at him for a while. Looking at the computer, I am very curious.

Pei Lei said he went out to smoke and stayed outside for more than half an hour and didn't come back.

Shen Biwen lay in the quilt with headphones on and closed his eyes to rest. Geng Aiqing played with his mobile phone for a while, but he always felt restless and threw the mobile phone aside after a while.

"What are you writing?" Geng Aiqing couldn't hold back the oppressive atmosphere in the tent, and asked.

Lin Sheng didn't lift his head: "Mountain climbing diary."

"Oh... that..." Geng Aiqing turned over and got up, also found the little notebook that Lin Sheng gave him that day, found a pen and sat down at the table.

"You want to write too?" Lin Sheng glanced at his blank notebook.

"That's right." Geng Aiqing opened the notebook, grasping the pen for a long time without writing a single word.

"What's wrong?" Lin Sheng asked.

Geng Aiqing clicked his tongue: "Hey, what's the date today?" He turned out the phone and took a look, "Oh, NO.11."

Lin Sheng: "..."

Geng Aiqing wrote 5/11 seriously in his notebook, and then held back a few words for a long time.

"Tomorrow we are going to climb the mountain. Today is our last night in the Everest base camp..."

Geng Aiqing bit her pen and said displeasedly: "Why don't you use a mobile phone, you have to write by hand, it's so cold!"

"Can your phone turn on at such a low temperature?" Lin Sheng complained.

"..." Geng Aiqing stared at the small notebook in front of him, as if he wanted to poke a hole out of it, but he was defeated in the end, put the notebook away in a desperate manner and stuffed it into his backpack, "No more writing I wrote it, just like a primary school student writing a composition!"

"You can't bear to look at your primary school student's handwriting?" Lin Sheng laughed.

Geng Aiqing glared at him, but unfortunately Lin Sheng lowered his head and didn't see it.

"I'm not as knowledgeable as you." Geng Aiqing shrank back into the quilt, Shen Biwen was still lying face up, eyes closed, and seemed to be asleep.

Geng Aiqing lay down on his side slightly, and he could just see half of Shen Biwen's profile. After so many days in the sun, Shen Biwen's skin was no longer as white as before. Under the light, it was still slightly reddened. It was a pretty face, but it was ruined like this!Geng Aiqing sighed for him and at the same time couldn't help but touched his face again, thinking that his handsome face had also been destroyed a lot, he didn't dare to look in the mirror these days, it was really miserable.

Is it easy to climb Mount Everest?How can he be worthy of the face of his sacrifice if he doesn't climb to the top?

Geng Aiqing thought wildly for a long time and finally fell into a deep sleep.

Geng Aiqing woke up before dawn the next day. Everyone was basically awake, but no one moved, as if they were all feeling the last warmth.

"Are you all awake?" Pei Lei asked first.

"En." Geng Aiqing responded, Lin Sheng and Shen Biwen also responded, and finally Luosang.

"I don't know if Yong Ke is up or not..." Pei Lei muttered, and then his voice became louder again, "Okay, let's go then?"

Geng Aiqing laughed first, and was the first to lift the quilt.

"Yes!" Pei Lei also sat up.

When several people were washing up, Geng Aiqing still wanted to laugh when he thought of this, it was obviously a simple way of getting up, which made it feel so ritual.

Unexpectedly, Yong Ke got up earlier than the rest of them. When they had breakfast, Yong Ke had already eaten and packed their luggage outside.

"Is there too much stuff?" Pei Lei asked, "No way, let's share it with you?"

Yong Ke waved his hand, and tried carrying a backpack of more than ten kilograms on his body: "It's okay, no need, it's not too heavy."

"That's fine." Pei Lei said with a smile, "If you need anything, just say it, us big men!"

Luosang also smiled shyly and said a few words.

Shen Biwen translated: "Luosan said that he can also help you recite a little bit. His body is very strong."

"Hahahaha, thank him for helping me." Yong said with a smile, "Just let him be a guide, this is nothing."

In fact, what Yong Ke said is correct, the equipment they brought here is actually not much, because what they prepared today is only the equipment on the way to the transitional camp, basically there is no danger, and the rest of the equipment has already been sent up by someone , from there, is the real beginning of the load.

After Yongke said that, everyone stopped talking.

When I left the base camp at [-] o'clock in the morning, the whole camp was bleak, and there were few people outside. Occasionally, a few people passed by to take pictures and saw them, and they would simply say hello to them. No one because they were about to go Challenging Mount Everest and cheering for them, even saying that no one cares, because too many people have already gone through this journey, regardless of success or failure.

"Let's go." Pei Lei said.

Everyone didn't answer, but silently followed Pei Lei's footsteps.
