Please allow me to record a running account, from when I promised Zhang Haike to when the four of us set off, it was another two days. We entered the snow-capped mountains and moved forward. Two weeks later, we came to the outer edge of Khamba, near the glacial lake.
The scenery is very beautiful, with snow-capped mountains, blue sky, and white clouds, but I really don't have the strength to appreciate them. The moment I walked into the ice lake, I was touched by the sound of the fat man and the Germans being loaded.
There are four of us, Fatty, me, Zhang Haixing, and a very short German who looks like a special forces soldier. The German is very good in Chinese. He told me that his name is Von, which translates to Feng. As for being short, it was because the fat man kept asking for a short one, saying that if a German who was more than two meters tall came along, he could only be cut into two pieces and brought back if he was injured.
So I called him "Graveyard", the fat man called him Big Dung, and Zhang Haixing was the most disciplined and called him Feng.
Germans rarely speak unless necessary. Unlike ordinary Germans, he is very flexible and quick in thinking, but along the way, I didn't talk much with Fatty, and I didn't communicate much with him.
Not in the mood to communicate. The road is too hard to go.
Before entering the ice lake, we were still about three kilometers away from the ice lake. Fatty and he both started to clean the gun, put antifreeze oil on all the parts of the gun, and then used the oil to spread the bullets evenly, and reloaded the magazines. among.
The stuffy oil bottle's notes wrote that there were strange things under the snow in this area, and they felt they had to be careful.
We entered the ice lake and encountered nothing along the way, only saw a dead deer frozen in the ice on the edge of the ice lake, and only its head and skeleton were left.
I have never seen such a situation along the way, and there should be no such deer on the plateau.
The fat man raised the gun, looked around the white expanse, and said, "It's for feeding, you see, there are bullets on the head that open the flower, and someone brought it up from the bottom of the mountain to feed it.
" , what is it?" Zhang Haixing asked Feng.
"Didn't you say it was a bear?"
"Bears don't eat so finely, they eat so cleanly, this thing has a high IQ." Feng said, he tapped the ice cap that had frozen the deer carcass with the butt of his gun, "I can't see the tooth marks, otherwise I would have come to a conclusion. "
It's so powerful, you can tell who gnawed it by looking at the bones." Fatty said.
"Feng has a degree in zoology," Zhang Haixing said. "He is an associate professor."
"I also have a degree." Scaffolding."
"Don't talk nonsense, okay?" Zhang Haixing was no longer surprised, she lit her cigarette and drew out her weapon, which was a crossbow arrow, pulled out a quiver and hung it on her waist. Seeing me looking at her, she said, "My mother hates things that make noise the most. This thing is quiet."
"What's the reload speed?
" "Two arrows."
"Hey, I thought only my fat man could talk about such big things, stinky old woman, you know you fat man, I started playing with guns while wearing open-crotch pants, it's too unreasonable for you to say this in front of me. My face—" The
fat man suddenly shut up, because we all saw a dark figure swimming past the ice cap under our feet in the ice lake.
The shadow was huge and moved very slowly. It looked more like a big bug than a fish swimming slowly under our feet. Fatty and I both saw it, and Feng and Zhang Haixing saw it later, and we both stood still.
The ice cap was so thick that it was impossible to see any details below, except for the general shape of the thing.
Three minutes later, the thing passed under our feet so silently that if we didn't look under our feet, we wouldn't have felt anything. I saw Feng start to tremble and aim his gun at the ice under his feet.
Fatty was right next to him, and instantly squeezed his firing pin. I saw that Feng's fingers had already squeezed the trigger. If Fatty hadn't held it down, the gun would have gone off.
Feng was still trembling, but fortunately he was completely frightened and did not move. The fat man also didn't move until the thing left.
After the thing disappeared, the four of us looked at each other, and the fat man took Feng's gun, folded it, and put it on his back.
Feng looked at the fat man, and the fat man said, "I'm sorry, Comrade Big Dung, you'd better not use a gun."
Zhang Haixing looked at the fat man and said, "You are not in charge here."
"This is Binghu, if he fired a gun just now, We are already dead and fell into the lake, I have to strip you naked and rub you hard to save your life." Fatty said, "Looking at his current state, the gun is more reliable on Fatty and me."
Zhang Haixing looked at Fatty and said, "Even if your decision is right, this decision should be made by me."
Fatty looked at me and Zhang Haixing, obviously feeling a little unreasonable. I was also a little surprised. Although Zhang Haixing was very strong along the way, I noticed for the first time that she seemed to be a little too concerned about who is in charge.
The two were deadlocked for a while, before Fatty sighed and threw the gun to Zhang Haixing: "Okay, Fatty, I respect the old man the most."
Zhang Haixing carried the gun by herself and went to comfort Feng, and Fatty gave me something he wanted. Broken expression.
Feng's face was pale, and there was no refutation or resistance.
"This woman has to suffer to understand that at this time, it doesn't matter who is in charge." The fat man said, took down his gun, folded it, and put it in his backpack.
"What's the matter? Are you sullen?"
"It's useless. It's just for courage. You also saw the size of the thing in the water. It's body is strong enough to withstand bullets."
I thought it really made sense, and We were on the lake and the ice was still so thick. I haven't used a weapon all the time, and I think I won't need any of them with me. Now, looking at Feng like this, I know that this guy is basically unreliable.
The fat man threw the dagger to me, and I put my backhand on the easiest place to pull it out. Zhang Haixing came over and said, "We want to pass through this ice lake as soon as possible, don't hold back."
"Okay." Fatty said, "Master, you go first."
I glared at Fatty, and said in my heart that the relationship was not particularly harmonious, so don't fan the flames for me.
"Let's go in a straight line. The destination is the mountain pass in front. Use the fastest speed to pass through, and try to be careful when you land." Zhang Haixing pointed to the distance.
Fatty and I looked in the direction Zhang Haixing pointed. I immediately felt it was inappropriate, and Fatty said, "We don't know the situation at all. We asked about the passage through the lake. If we encounter problems, we have no chance to make a comeback."
"In our Zhang family. There is a principle. Many things look dangerous, but they are actually the safest. Don't be fooled by superficial judgments." Zhang Haixing looked at Feng, who obviously slowed down a bit and said, "That thing just now should be A kind of fish in this glacial lake is so big. It should be the result of the people here feeding it for centuries. People will not feed in the center of the lake. They must be feeding near the water, so the lake's The center will be safer."
Zhang Haixing looked at Fatty, Fatty looked at me, I pondered for a while, but I still couldn't pass myself.
Seeing that the two of us neither set off nor expressed our position, Zhang Haixing said, "Why, do you have other ideas?"
"I don't feel very well," I said.
"Generally, we are determined not to go to places where we innocently feel bad." Fatty said, "Comrade Innocence is famous for his physique who will cheat corpses when opening a coffin
.
" Is it this kind of place?" I looked at her, the overseas Zhang family seems to have lost the prudence and caution that comes from the soul of a stuffy oil bottle.
"I've done more dangerous things than the two of you combined."
"That's right, you're so old," said the fat man.
Zhang Haixing's expression became dissatisfied: "The existence of the Zhang family is not accidental. Our rules of conduct are all based on survival. Don't underestimate the wisdom accumulated by the ancestors of the Zhang family."
I sighed and looked at the lake, I really wanted to go with her like this, but the uncomfortable feeling in my heart became more and more obvious, and finally I paused and said, "I used to be a special worshiper with this kind of wisdom. But then I began to believe in myself. For the situation here, few of us do not have the skills and reaction speed of you, have you ever thought that the basis of your wisdom is your years of training, and We have been able to live to this day, nothing more than playing some clever tricks and thieves. It is unfair that you use your standards to demand us." The
fat man also lit a cigarette, seeing Zhang Haixing standing there, his face was red. , and said: "Master, I know that you must have commanded a group of very powerful people in the past. We two fools are too weak. Otherwise, you and your associate professor will walk in the middle, and my naive and I will climb the mountain from the side. In the past."
"The creature just now may be able to move on land." Zhang Haixing said, "You remember, it is written in the notebook."
Fatty patted the gun: "On land, we may not be afraid of it.
" At this point, there is nothing to say. Zhang Haixing and Feng walked in the middle of the ice lake, and Fatty and I followed our route.
After the separation, the fat man scolded: "Bah, do you think it is bureaucracy? A girl still wants to direct the fat man to go east and west, thinking of beauty." I said: "They have been powerful for
too long."
The bureau they set up before can see that these Zhang family members underestimate the enemy and have a high self-esteem. Of course, if it was me in the past, their tricks would have been enough to stun me, but now, I have really changed a lot. I used to worship mythology, but now I can see flaws in mythology at a glance.
We loaded our bullets, watched Zhang Haixing and the others wading off the ice, and I said, "Are we irresponsible?"
"People are stubborn, it's useless for you to be responsible." Fatty said, and then patted me, "Father, I am What I figured out during this time is that people cannot be responsible for the fate of others, and no one is God." The
two of us walked along the shore, which was much farther than theirs, and it was not easy to walk. We didn't get angry, we stepped on the snow with one foot deep and another shallow, and saw from a distance that they had already left us behind.
I don't know how long they've been gone, they're almost there, and we're still a long way off, the fat man said, "Stinky girls, she's going to stink to death this time.
" If we die, then we are also fools, and everyone is safe."
Fatty said: "There are no monsters, it's okay to have a small incident, fall on a horse or something."
Zhang Haixing is very good, and thinks that the balance and reaction on the ice are far from the norm . Above us, it's hard to think of her wrestling, and the Germans are solid and seem to be wearing good shoes.
After walking for a while, there was no danger on our side. Seeing that Zhang Haixing and the others were about to arrive, Fatty was also frustrated. Suddenly, I realized that something was not right. The situation on their side seemed to have changed.
