Everest

It is still difficult to move forward in the wind and snow, and it is still difficult to see the way forward. It seems that only the two of them are left in the white world, moving up the long and endless snow slope step by step, and they can no longer feel the hands through the gloves. No one dared to relax the tight grip on the rope. Geng Aiqing and Shen Biwen had to stop every few minutes to resist the strong wind. The fear was still there. Feeling normal, but Geng Aiqing's beating heart gradually returned to normal beating frequency. He followed behind Shen Biwen, and Shen Biwen's figure was shaking in the wind and snow, blurred and firm.

Geng Aiqing thought of something else inexplicably. Shen Biwen chose to accomplish such a thing—climbing to the top of Mount Everest. Unfulfilled ideals, this should be what he insisted on. Shen Biwen once told him that his determination to climb Mount Everest may just come from his love for Mount Everest and the snow-capped mountains, and his love for Lin Sheng, Yongke, Pei, and others. Lei is like many climbers, some of them have spent their wealth, some have honed their skills for ten years, most of them are not afraid of life and death, just for this determination and enthusiasm, and I am really different from them. As Shen Biwen said, he has no such determination.

It was just a spur of the moment and the right timing to come here by myself. A large part of luck is already involved in being able to get here. Geng Aiqing has read a lot of books. Although he knows that climbing Mount Everest is difficult and dangerous, he never expected it to be like this Difficult, he wondered if he should really continue, there are still more than 1000 meters above sea level from the peak, can he really hold on?Geng Aiqing thought vaguely, he didn't know that he had walked out of the windy area, he just stepped on the thick snow step by step with his last instinct and a little bit of consciousness, and followed behind Shen Biwen.

When approaching the C2 camp, Shen Biwen turned his head and wanted to tell Geng Aiqing to hold on, but he didn't expect to see Geng Aiqing's eyes closed tightly, his whole body was shaking, and he seemed to have lost consciousness. Shen Biwen's heart skipped a beat. Without hesitation, he retreated down to Geng Aiqing's side, clasped the rope tightly with one hand, and grabbed Geng Aiqing's armpit with difficulty with the other hand, shouting in his ear: "Wake up! Geng Aiqing!"

Geng Aiqing was shocked, and opened his eyes in a daze. His mind was still a little confused. When he saw Shen Biwen all of a sudden, he felt a little happy. He wanted to reach out and touch Shen Biwen's face, but his hands seemed to be grasping. Geng Aiqing slowly thought about something that could not be let go, and felt that he could not let go of his hand, but he wanted to get closer to Shen Biwen, so he leaned over and buried his face in the Shen Biwen's warm neck, his lips brushed against Shen Biwen's cheek, cold and soft.

Shen Biwen felt his nose a little sore.

"They're there!" Pei Lei, who had already arrived at the C2 camp, and the others had been waiting anxiously on it. It's normal for the team to disperse in the strong wind, so they didn't take it seriously at first, but when they passed the strong wind The tuyere still did not see the figures of Geng Aiqing and Shen Biwen, so I was in a hurry, but I didn't dare to go back to look for it, so I could only go to the C2 camp and wait anxiously, every few minutes on the snowy slope where they came. Look down, this time I finally saw them!

Pei Leiluosang went down the snow slope to help tie the two of them, and other members of the climbing team in the camp pulled them up together.

"He...!" Shen Biwen opened his mouth, feeling like his throat had been burned, hoarse and painful, but he still insisted on shouting, "Geng Aiqing! How do you see him?" After finishing speaking, he said His legs were weak and he knelt on the snow in the camp.

Everyone is not surprised by this kind of weak legs, but Geng Aiqing's condition is a little more serious. He has fallen into a coma, but his hands are still tightly grasping the rope. Opening his hands, he dragged the person away, Shen Biwen couldn't walk, he could only watch them move Geng Aiqing to a nearby tent, Lin Sheng and Yong Ke went over to help Shen Biwen up.

"Scared me to death." Yong Ke's eyes were a little red, but the expression on his face became lighter after seeing them.

Shen Biwen felt a little guilty for no reason, and he recounted the previous situation hoarsely.

"It's fine, it's fine." Yong Ke said several times, and patted Shen Biwen, "Xiao Qingqing is definitely fine, don't worry, Lin Sheng did the same when she came up."

Lin Sheng: "..."

Shen Biwen looked at Lin Sheng, and sure enough, he found that his expression was not normal. Lin Sheng smiled bitterly at him: "Fortunately, I followed the big army, and there were so many people, they dragged me up... The wind is too strong today, I guess it's past the maximum wind speed..."

Shen Biwen nodded in agreement, and then looked at the tent where Geng Aiqing was.

Pei Lei and the others stayed inside for more than half an hour before coming out. As soon as Shen Biwen saw his appearance, he hurried over. Lin Sheng and Yong Ke, who were left behind, looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Huh, why are you leaving?" Lin Sheng followed his direction and saw Pei Lei who had come out, and sighed, "Brother Shen is too kind to Young Master Geng, just like this, Young Master Geng beat him..."

"You know nothing." Yong Ke kicked him, "Why don't you go and have a look!"

"Uncle Pei, how is he?" Shen Biwen asked anxiously, who was holding Pei Lei by the door.

Pei Lei said: "It's a coma caused by lack of oxygen. If I take a few more breaths on the way, it won't be like this. Now I'm awake." After hearing this, Shen Biwen wanted to go to the tent. There is one more thing."

"how?"

"Is there something wrong with this little Geng? I'm under a lot of pressure. I was dizzy and kept talking about something just now. I still don't understand..." Pei Lei glanced into the tent and said in a low voice, "Please persuade me Him? If you’re not in good shape, don’t hold on. It’s okay to wait here for us to come back. After all, it’s his first time here...it’s already pretty good here..."

Shen Biwen was silent for a while, then nodded.

"Tell him... don't forget!" Pei Lei told him again, and then left first. Shen Biwen took a deep breath at the door of the tent, and lowered himself down to get in.

There were only two people in the tent, Geng Aiqing and Luosang. Luosang was helping Geng Aiqing rub the calf muscles. Geng Aiqing had already woken up, and put the oxygen mask aside. He was breathing slowly and stared at Luosang's movements in a daze. Shen Bi Wen sat next to Luosang, and naturally raised his other leg and put it on his own thigh, and massaged him skillfully. Geng Aiqing wanted to pull his leg away, but the strength of Shen Biwen's hand Too big, he is very weak now, and finally let him go.

Shen Biwen kneaded for a while and said something to Luosang next to him. Luosang nodded, then let go of his hands and walked outside.

"What did you tell him?" Geng Aiqing's voice was hoarse, and his throat hurt when he spoke.

Shen Biwen poured him a glass of water and handed it over, his hands kept moving, and said, "Let him go get something."

"Oh..." Geng Aiqing responded without saying anything.

For a moment, there were only the sound of two people's intertwined breathing in the tent. It's not that Geng Aiqing didn't want to talk, but he didn't know what to say. After waking up after inhaling oxygen here, he remembered everything that happened on the snow slope before. When he got up, Shen Biwen dragged himself forward in the strong wind, helped himself to keep his balance on the last snow slope, and rubbed himself into his arms in a daze... He couldn't believe it himself, Although his consciousness was blurred at that time, he remembered it very clearly, and he could even recall the happy mood when he saw Shen Biwen for the last time.

It's really... I don't know how to describe it.

In the end, it was Shen Biwen who spoke first: "Why don't you inhale oxygen because you are hypoxic?"

Speaking of this, Geng Aiqing was a little embarrassed: "Didn't it mean that real climbers have to go to this camp to use oxygen? I don't see any use for you, so I think I can resist it..."

"There is no such thing." Shen Biwen interrupted him, unusually serious, "Take your own life as the criterion, and take immediate measures if you feel uncomfortable."

Geng Aiqing also knew that it was her fault this time, so she nodded, agreeing with him.

Shen Biwen's voice relaxed again: "But it's fine."

"Hmm..." Geng Aiqing sighed.

"Uncle Pei told me something just now." Shen Biwen said suddenly.

"Ok?"

Shen Biwen lowered his head, held his calf with both hands, kneaded it carefully, and said casually: "He said that your condition may not be very good. It is already good for you to reach this height for the first time. You..."

Before he finished speaking, Geng Aiqing interrupted him with a cold face: "What do you mean?"

Shen Biwen stopped what he was doing, and looked up at Geng Aiqing.

"You...wait for us here." Shen Biwen said softly.

There was a hint of disbelief in Geng Aiqing's eyes. He thought about giving up, but at that time it was the psychological pressure caused by his lack of oxygen. Now he has recovered, and even if he really wanted to say give up, he didn't want to. Words came out of Shen Biwen's mouth.

"Us?" Geng Aiqing sneered, "Can I wait for you?"

Shen Biwen avoided his sight, and his heart was in a mess. He hoped that Geng Aiqing would stay here because he had his own selfish motives. On the one hand, he did not want to see Geng Aiqing encounter such a dangerous situation again; Because he was worried about being accompanied by Geng Aiqing, he dared not make the final choice.

Seeing the struggle in his eyes, Geng Aiqing felt a little sad.

"Stay here..." Shen Biwen didn't answer him directly, but said in a begging tone, "You don't need to go any further..."

Geng Aiqing looked at him, slowly took his leg off his body, and said lightly: "Of course it is necessary, we are friends, at least I will give it to you, won't I?"

Shen Biwen finally couldn't say anything when he heard the word "friend" he deliberately emphasized.
