Lin Hongluan hiked into the snow-capped mountain alone, and with great enthusiasm, she climbed up for two kilometers.
However, she soon realized that climbing alone and climbing in a group are completely different experiences.
Lacking encouragement and communication with her teammates, she felt lonely and bored.
Not only that, she also missed several steps and almost injured her foot, only then realizing that she had been reckless in going into the mountains alone.
He had to remind himself to be careful, even if it meant going slowly.
After walking and stopping for two hours, she arrived near the Thousand-Foot Cliff.
Before us was a steep slope leading down to the bottom of the cliff, at an angle of about 45 degrees, stretching endlessly downwards.
Lin Hongluan squatted down, reached out and dug into the snow, and found some footprints covered by the heavy snow.
Has someone been here before? I was filled with doubt.
She put on her skis, took an ice axe, squatted down on the skis, and prepared to slowly glide down.
The way she's going down the mountain is actually very dangerous. The best way would be to put a safety rope down here.
However, she didn't have much outdoor survival experience and didn't anticipate the dangers of the wild.
Fortunately, although she repeatedly lost control of her speed while descending, she managed to stop herself with her ice axe.
If it weren't for the protective gear on the head and joints, there would have been at least a few scars.
This winding downhill slope is at least a kilometer long.
We finally reached the bottom of the cliff. It was still about 500 meters away from the bottom of the Thousand-Foot Cliff.
.
The path at the bottom of the cliff was rugged and difficult to traverse. Lin Hongluan trudged forward, step by step, carefully avoiding several small pits covered by heavy snow.
The straight-line distance was only 500 meters, but it took her about half an hour to walk it.
Upon arriving at her destination, Lin Hongluan was somewhat astonished by the scene before her.
There are five small snow-covered hills here, each about four or five meters high.
The area around the snow-capped mountain was covered with messy footprints, indicating that someone had already dug there.
Judging from the extent of the snow cover, these footprints existed for no more than a day.
Lin Hongluan suddenly had a bad feeling; someone else had come looking for Li Mu, just like her.
The people who came to the bottom of this cliff must be the same group who surrounded Li Mu at the edge of the cliff yesterday.
These people not only forced people to jump off cliffs, but they even took their corpses.
For a moment, Lin Hongluan didn't know what to do.
Looking up at the cliff top, snowflakes were still swirling and falling to the bottom, and an occasional gust of cold wind brought a howling sound, which sounded eerie at the bottom of the cliff.
The bottom of the cliff has already been searched; whether Li Mu is dead or alive, he won't be here anymore.
She spent most of the day getting here, only to end up like this, leaving her feeling somewhat disappointed.
Are we just going to go back like this?
She asked herself a question, trying to find a reason for herself to stay.
.
Lin Hongluan put her backpack down next to the snow-capped mountain, sat down and ate a few pieces of chocolate and two slices of bread.
After finishing her meal, she made a decision that surprised even herself.
She wanted to turn over the snowdrifts again to see if there was any blood.
Although the presence of bloodstains does not necessarily prove that Li Mu is dead, and the absence of bloodstains does not necessarily prove that Li Mu is alive, she still decided to do so.
Having made her decision, Lin Hongluan didn't delay any longer and immediately took out a folding entrenching tool from her backpack.
She decided to start digging for three days, and then leave regardless of the outcome.
Before she arrived, she had not anticipated an avalanche, nor did she expect that someone had come before her.
To lighten her load, she only brought a sleeping bag and no tent.
The food prepared was enough for her to eat for four or five days, so she wasn't worried about going hungry.
First, she had to dig a large, sheltered hole in the snow-capped mountain to make a place for herself to live before she could start digging and searching.
.
Lin Hongluan dug a snow cave on a small snow mountain farthest from the cliff. The entrance was small on the outside, but slightly larger inside.
After the snow cave was dug, she was a little worried that it might collapse, so she climbed up the mountain and stomped her feet a few times.
After coming down from the small snow mountain, I checked it over and only felt relieved after finding no problems before carrying my backpack and some personal belongings inside.
After resting in the cave, she changed her plans again.
I think that digging a few tunnels in the small hill would be enough to see if there is any bloodstains, and there is no need to search the entire snow mountain.
As soon as the idea came to her, she picked up her entrenching tool and started digging from the inside, hoping to dig as much as possible before the snow froze.
Before nightfall, she had dug two crisscrossing tunnels in the small snow-covered mountain where she planned to live, and found no trace of blood.
He didn't know whether he should be happy or regretful, nor did he understand the point of continuing to dig like this.
I didn't feel anything when I dug down in one go, but after I stopped, I started to feel tired.
To keep warm and to keep out wild animals at night, she sealed the four entrances of the cave with the snow she had dug out.
After lighting up a bunch of glow sticks, I set them aside and prepared to rest.
However, after resting for more than an hour, Lin Hongluan felt cold, and the chill filled her whole body.
To avoid getting cold, she got up again to dig holes in the snow, and rested only after she warmed up.
So, she had to dig a hole every hour or so, not just for the sake of digging, but to keep warm.
He would carefully examine each piece of snow he dug out, and then pile the newly dug snow into the hole in front of him.
And so it went, and the night passed just like that.
Unbeknownst to him, at some point, a tiny golden bead, the size of a sesame seed, had become stuck to her glove.
And the bead was then put into her pocket by her glove.
.
Before falling off the cliff and losing consciousness, Li Mu shut down his five senses.
When he opened his eyes again, he had no idea where he was or what his situation was.
After activating his five senses, some images of the cliff top appeared in his memory.
The spirit stones he was holding were gone, leaving only some ash residue from the absorption of the spirit stones.
He quickly got up and found himself sitting by a small pond, but there was no spiritual energy in his body.
Looking around, all that could be seen three zhang away was a thick fog.
He touched his left chest, where there should have been a penetrating wound, but now only a scar remained.
Looking at Xiao Tan and then at his own seat, he had a feeling.
He felt that he must have fallen into this small pond, and that the reason he was able to heal himself was because of the water in the pond.
So he approached the pool and scooped up a handful of water with both hands.
As a result, the water in the entire pool dried up immediately, and even the place where they had settled became shrouded in mist.
'This...' This is too weird.
Li Mu quickly put the water back into the pool, and the pool immediately returned to its original state, and the surrounding area became clear again.
What exactly is going on? Even Li Mu, who has lived two lives, couldn't figure it out.
Li Mumo said he had never seen such a strange thing before, nor had he ever heard of it.
