Chapter 401 Footsteps

I thought for a while and said: "There are two roads to Mengshui Mountain. The road we are taking now is the most common one. There is also a remote road that can go straight to the top of the mountain. Usually, few people walk. , now that it’s snowing so much, it’s probably even more difficult to walk.”

Lin Manxue said, "Can you find this way?"

"Yes. I didn't take this route when I came back, because I started climbing in the evening last time, and climbing at night is not allowed here."

In fact, not only Mengshui Mountain, but generally other places are not allowed to go up at night, because climbing the mountain at night is really dangerous, and you can't see anything, which is more than a hundred times more dangerous than during the day.

Lin Manxue said: "If you can find another way, we will go up from other places and climb halfway up the mountain. How can there be such a saying, what a pity."

"it is good."

I led Lin Manxue around and walked along another small road. I took Lin Manxue's hand, picked up a big branch as a walking stick, and slowly climbed up the mountain.

Because of the delay in the middle, it was already after four o'clock in the afternoon when we climbed to the top of the mountain. The winter night came earlier, and it would be dark after 05:30, and it was completely dark at six o'clock.

Standing on the top of Mengshui Mountain and looking into the distance, you can see the small mountains at a glance, separated by one mountain, half mountain, half water and half snow, white clouds seem to be within reach, it is really too dreamy.

Lin Manxue sighed and said: "Mengshui Mountain is really beautiful, a fairyland on earth. Chutian, help me take pictures."

"it is good."

I took a few photos of Lin Manxue, and Lin Manxue was very satisfied after seeing them. At this time, the sky was getting dark, so I adjusted the light and took two more photos of Manxue.

It is impossible for us to go down the mountain tonight, and we can only stay on the mountain for one night.

I am going to set up the tent before it gets dark. I set up the tent on a relatively flat place. This tent is not small enough to accommodate three people at the same time. Lin Manxue and I went to collect a lot of dry firewood nearby. Well, there are a lot of dry branches. If it weren't for the deep snow on the top of the mountain and the lack of time, we could pick up a lot of dry firewood.

I lit a fire outside the tent. The fire can not only keep warm but also prevent beasts. In fact, fires are not allowed on the mountain, for fear of igniting the trees on the mountain. But at this moment, no one cares about us. Besides, I pay special attention to it. , the place where I light the fire won't set the rest on fire.

Lin Manxue and I warmed up outside the tent for a while. The wind on the mountain was extremely strong. Fortunately, there were some trees blocking it, otherwise we would have been frozen to death.

In fact, strictly speaking, our place is not a real mountain top. The real mountain top is like a spire, which is about 70 meters high from our place.

No one has ever gone up there, and it is even more impossible to go up there now.

Lin Manxue looked behind us and said worriedly: "Chutian, you said that if the snow on the top is pressed down, do we have to be buried in the snow?"

Lin Manxue's worry is not unreasonable. The situation she mentioned is the one that the uncle said. Avalanches are most likely to occur when the spring is warm and the snow is slowly melting.

But I'm not worried, because this rare heavy snow just fell two days ago, and now it's the middle of winter, which is not the season for snowmelt on the top of the mountain. Of course, there are no absolutes, and accidents may happen at any time.It's just that I don't believe that Lin Manxue and I will be so close together, and this kind of unlucky thing just happened to us.

Because it was too cold outside, Lin Manxue and I hid in the tent to sleep. I made a hammock and tied the two ends to two big trees. Because we are now in the snow, it is impossible to spread sleeping bags to sleep.

When we were in a drowsy sleep, I heard footsteps. Lin Manxue also heard it at the time. She was startled and thought it was the sound of a beast.

Lin Manxue took my hand and said, "Is it a wolf?"

Lin Manxue has never seen any animals, and the most terrifying animal in her mind is a wolf, so her first reaction was to ask me if it was a wolf.

I'm not sure, but the footsteps I heard didn't sound like wolves, but like people stepping on the snow. It's just that at this time, how could anyone come up.

I climbed out of the tent with a flashlight, and took a picture of the place where the sound was just now, but I didn’t see anything. The light of the flashlight is limited, and it’s impossible to see clearly from too far away. be affected to a certain extent.

I was afraid that Lin Manxue would be scared, so I hurried back to the tent and said, "It's nothing. It might be some small animal. There must be a lot of small animals on the mountain. Don't be afraid. There is a fire outside, and ordinary animals dare not approach."

Lin Manxue finally calmed down after hearing what I said. She was lying in my arms and hugging me. In fact, Lin Manxue is not very courageous. When she is in real danger, she will be afraid. In fact, who is in danger? Are you not afraid?

The sound of footsteps gradually faded away, and Lin Manxue and I gradually relaxed. I hugged Manxue and continued to sleep. About half an hour later, I heard the sound of someone lighting a lighter.

Because the mountain is very quiet at night, there are occasional birds chirping and the sound of wind blowing branches and leaves, but more of it is silence, so I can often hear some sounds that I can't usually hear.

I'm a regular smoker so I'm all too familiar with the sound of a lighter, I've had a lighter for years and it's like an old friend of mine, can I not hear that sound?

How is this going?How come there is the sound of a lighter, is there really someone else coming up to the top of the mountain?
Before I had time to think about it, I only heard the sound of barking, and I heard a rush of footsteps. This time I heard the sound of footsteps correctly.

I felt very wrong and immediately carried Lin Manxue out of the tent and rolled over on the spot. My body rolled forward and rolled into a small ditch.

After about tens of seconds, I only heard a loud bang, and my tent was razed to the ground in an instant, and a deep hole was blown into it. This is not over, the aftershocks of the explosion caused a chain reaction, and the snow mountain above my head collapsed , rumbled a few loud noises, and instantly buried alive the place where I just set up the tent.

My god, if I hadn't felt bad just now and escaped in time, Lin Manxue and I would have been buried alive if we hadn't been bombed, I was furious, this is going to kill us!

Because of the shock just now, Lin Manxue was unconscious in my arms.I released Lin Manxue lightly, just as I got up, I suddenly felt something hit my body, and its impact was so powerful that it brought me back into the small ditch in an instant.

My arm was suddenly numb and painful. I reached out and touched it. There was something sticky on my hand, which should be blood.Blood has seeped through my clothes and stuck to my hands.

The other party still has a gun?
I lay down in the snow and dared not move any more.I'm still not sure how many people there are on the other side, and what guys are in their hands. Now I can only be sure that they have at least one gun in their hands.

Moreover, this man is not bad at marksmanship. In such a dark place at night, he wounded me with the first shot. I think I will die this time. It doesn't matter if I die, but Lin Manxue must not fall into their hands.

Lin Manxue is so beautiful, if it falls into their hands, the consequences will be unimaginable, how can I let her suffer that kind of insult.
