"Later, as expected, we lost our way in the heavy snow on the first night. The food we brought felt too heavy when we went up the mountain, so I threw away some of it on the way. I have to say that I was really not A person who can endure hardships.
Fortunately, both of us were relatively optimistic. Since we couldn't find the direction, we simply set up a tent on the spot and lit a small fire to keep warm. However, in the extremely cold temperature, I brought ordinary tents. The lighter couldn't even light a fire, so in the end I could only hold her while the two of us lay in a sleeping bag to keep warm.
I felt very guilty at the time. I promised her that I would take her to Mount Everest and try to help her get closer to the summit. However, I made a mess. Nothing was prepared. Now the two of us are lying here together. Not sure where to go the next day.
But she was very excited, and kept telling me that she was from the south, and this was the first time she saw snow, and she could feel that Mount Everest had been calling her, especially now that she felt even more on the mountain. Intense or something like that.
Climbing from the foot of the mountain to here has taken up a lot of energy on my part, and her mobility was already very limited at the time. I had to support her along the way, so as soon as I lay down, I started to be a little unable to open my eyes, almost. Didn't hear what she was saying.
Just before I finally fell asleep, I heard her whisper in my ear: 'Of course, if I die, you must take me to the top of the mountain and leave me there. This is the last thing in my life. Wish it. '"
"Then what?" Su Ran's story had made Chen Yihan temporarily forget the purpose of coming, and she was eager to know what happened next.
Su Ran was silent for a while and said in a low voice: "Then when I woke up the next morning, she had already passed to another world in my arms, with a gentle smile on her face.
Only then did I realize that she had already discovered that her body could no longer hold on any longer, so she had talked to me so much the night before. However, I fell asleep directly because I was too sleepy, and did not accompany her at all. Keep talking. "
Chen Yihan also sighed, feeling a little regretful, "Then what she said in your ear at the end, her last wish, did you help her fulfill it?"
Su Ran nodded, "After leaving the tent, I discovered that our backpacks were all placed outside last night. After a night of strong wind, they had been blown to nowhere. Now they are fine. I have lost the most important things. Good friends also lost the supplies and equipment needed to survive on the snowy mountains."
"Then how did you take her to the summit? Not to mention you as a little girl, even an experienced snow mountain climbing coach can't guarantee that you can climb to the top of Mount Everest with all the equipment. top."
"It's true that I can't do it, but fortunately I still have a helper who can be on call." Su Ran raised her chin in the direction of Zhang Ziqing.
Chen Yihan suddenly realized, "Indeed, if Mr. Zhang came to help, then this would not be a troublesome matter. But why didn't you ask Mr. Zhang to help from the beginning? You could also let your friend see it with her own eyes while she was still alive. The view from the summit.”
"The meaning is different. I want to take her and rely on her own efforts to get closer to her goal." Su Ran looked a little lonely, "If I had known from the beginning that she only had one day left. No, I will definitely not be so impulsive."
"Actually, before she died, she might have been happy to have a friend like you who could accompany her in her madness." Chen Yihan said with certainty.
"I hope she thinks so too." Su Ran's eyes were a little wandering, but she soon recovered from her sluggish state, "It's been a long time since this happened. In fact, I have nothing to regret now. I can only They say everything is fate. But what about you, Mrs. Wei? What impulsive things did you do for Mr. Wei at that time? "
Chen Yihan raised her head and looked at the ceiling and continued to recall: "The day before the college entrance examination, I made the craziest decision I have ever made in my life. It was so crazy that if I were to go back to that time, I would never make it again. Make the same choice.
I gave up the college entrance examination, bought a bus ticket to the city where my husband’s next project was to be, and took the bus all night to find him. "
Su Ran's eyes widened and she looked at Chen Yihan in disbelief. Her mouth was so big that she couldn't close it for a long time.
"How is it? Isn't it crazy?" Chen Yihan asked with a smile.
Su Ran swallowed her saliva and gave Chen Yihan a thumbs up, "That's too strong. I really didn't expect you to make this decision. In your day, the college entrance examination was so important that you could just give up. I I really don’t know how to praise you.”
"Isn't there a word that you young people like to use now, called love brain?"
"No, I don't have a love brain like you. At most, I spend a small amount of money on a man and stand on the train for several hours to meet my partner for love. More serious, it's similar to your nature, that is, the college entrance examination. Sometimes I wrote a big question in order to go to the same university as my partner.
But this is the first time I've seen someone like you give up so directly. "Su Ran sighed, "The word "love brain" can no longer describe you. "
Chen Yihan smiled and seemed not to regret it now when she thought about it.
"Maybe because I was still young at the time, I didn't think so much about the future. I just thought that being with him would make me happy and he would protect me, so I rushed over without hesitation.
I still remember that when I showed up at his construction site, the entire construction team was stunned, especially him. His face was full of disbelief when he saw me. The expressions on his face ranged from shock to suspicion, to Confused, he even slapped himself to make sure it wasn't a dream.
When he quickly put down what he was doing and rushed to me, I remembered that it was also a nice day. He was standing there, facing the sun this time, and the sun shone on his face, which was particularly clear.
His lips were trembling all the time. He probably wanted to say something to me, but he didn't know how to say the first sentence. It wasn't until a long time later that he spoke his first words.
'Life on a construction site can be hard, and it may take you a while to get used to it. '
Isn't it funny, I thought he was going to ask me 'Why are you here? ’ or something like, ‘You might be able to catch up with the exam if you go back quickly,’ but he didn’t say anything. It was as if he understood my heart and told me that being with him might be very difficult.
I told him that since I decided to come over, I wouldn’t think about whether it would be hard or not. I just wanted to be with you and go wherever you go.
Because I often went to their construction site to find him, his co-workers and the captain of the construction team were already familiar with me. Their captain arranged a job for me to cook on the construction site. Although the salary was not much, it was still good. It can be regarded as a temporary solution to my survival problem.
In this way, I stayed with him in the construction team for two years. During the two years, we traveled to many cities and saw many high-rise buildings. The life was indeed harder than when I was in school, but it was also harder than when I was in school. At that time, I will be more joyful and happy.
I originally thought that we would continue to live like this, but suddenly one day, my husband told me that he wanted to leave the construction team and start his own business, and he wanted to realize the ideal he once told me.
I don't have any independent opinions. He always makes decisions, so I just follow him. So he quickly resigned from the construction team and took me to Pingjiang City.
The early days of starting a business were difficult. Although my husband is a very smart person, we both had to live in a basement of only 15 square meters in the beginning. Even the bathroom was shared, and there was only one bed and table in the room. There was no room for other things, and even on rainy days, the rainwater would flow into the basement along the drainage network. Many times when we returned home, most of the house was flooded, and the entire bed was wet.
It's not bad in summer. After wiping it clean, I sleep directly on the bed board and it's still cool. But in winter, I can only lay some old newspapers picked up from outside on it, then lie on it with my clothes on, and put thick clothes on my body, which is a difficult sleep. "
