He Xin is right.
Lin Qingping remembered hearing such an example in her previous life. The temperature difference between day and night in the mountains is large. If the weather is bad, it is very likely that it will be a warm spring or midsummer outside, but a cold winter in the mountains. She remembered that one of her friends was a hiker and had encountered this situation while hiking in the mountains. What's more, it was already a cold spring season.
Gong Jing was so scared that she was about to cry, "What should we do? What can we do? We can't leave."
"I can." He Xin said, "I can stand on one foot."
"He Xin!" Zhong Xiaoxiao ran towards the direction of He Xin's voice, "Can you really do this?"
After hearing this, Lin Qingping decided to try again. However, there must be something wrong with her hand. It hurt terribly whenever she exerted force. But she had to try anyway. No matter how painful or injured it was, it was better than dying in this place!
She endured the pain, supported herself on the ground with one hand, and barely raised the other hand to grab a tree nearby. As soon as she exerted force, her hands and feet began to hurt severely.
My whole body was shaking with pain.
But you have to endure it!
You have to endure it no matter what!
Even if we have to climb today, we have to climb out of the mountain!
With this perseverance, she staggered, gritted her teeth and stood up bit by bit despite the pain...
Finally, she leaned against the tree, gasping for breath, weak but determined, "I can do it, I stand up!" She could also use one foot, but the other foot hurt as soon as it touched the ground.
"Lin Qingping!" Zhong Xiaoxiao called her excitedly in the dark.
The sky was dark and the rain was heavy. Zhong Xiaoxiao had just helped He Xin up when she heard Lin Qingping's voice and ran over happily, "I'll help you! Lin Qingping!"
"No need." Lin Qingping leaned against the tree and finally saw Zhong Xiaoxiao's blurry appearance in the heavy rain. Not only was she soaked from head to toe, but she was also covered in mud, and her face and hair were also covered in mud. But now none of this mattered. What mattered was getting out and saving her life. "Xiaoxiao, go see Gong Jing. If you can't, can you carry her on your back?"
"I can! I definitely can!" Zhong Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously. She couldn't handle three people, but she would carry one person out even if she died!
"Okay!" Lin Qingping looked at the mountain road in the rainstorm, where he didn't know where the end was, gritted his teeth, and said firmly, "Then let's go out!"
The way out is so difficult.
Zhong Xiaoxiao carried Gong Jing on her back as she walked on the muddy road, taking one deep step and one shallow step. It was terrifying to watch, as people feared that if they were not careful, the two of them would fall into a pile.
Lin Qingping and He Xin only had one leg to walk, and the road was so slippery that they couldn't keep their balance at all. They could only support each other. Fortunately, the rain gradually subsided and their vision became a little clearer.
The four of them stumbled forward along the valley, and Zhong Xiaoxiao and Gong Jing didn't know how many times they fell.
When she fell for the first time, Zhong Xiaoxiao felt very guilty and kept apologizing to Gong Jing. Gong Jing was already injured, and she fell again, which made the pain even worse. But how could she blame Zhong Xiaoxiao when she was clearly the burden to everyone...
She also quickly endured the pain and apologized to Zhong Xiaoxiao. It was all because of her that Zhong Xiaoxiao fell.
But this was just the beginning. After that, Zhong Xiaoxiao fell again and again while carrying Gong Jing on her back. At first, the two of them apologized politely, but later, they got used to it. Although it was still painful, they were both determined to get out of the valley, so they didn't waste any extra energy on being polite. They would fall and then get up, get up and fall again, and then get up again...
Lin Qingping and He Xin's situation was not much better. They fell all the way and were both injured. It was much more difficult for them to get up again than for Zhong Xiaoxiao and Gong Jing.
But no one dared to give up. Instead, they encouraged and cheered each other up.
Gong Jing said, "When I get out, I'm going to have a big meal, beef and mutton to my heart's content! I'm going to roast a whole leg of lamb!"
After hearing this, the four hungry and cold people began to look forward to the delicious food they were going to eat.
Lin Qingping panted, "Okay! I'll treat you all after we get out! Let's eat until we're full!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhong Xiaoxiao cried out softly and fell down again...
This time, it seemed quite serious and Zhong Xiaoxiao was unable to stand up.
"My feet seem to..." Zhong Xiaoxiao tried again and fell back into the mud.
Gong Jing, who had been holding on, finally broke down and started crying, "Xiaoxiao, can you still walk by yourself? Even if you can walk on one foot like Lin Qingping and the others? If you can, don't worry about me! You go first, I'll wait for you here, and when you find someone outside, come back to find me!"
"impossible!"
This time it was the other three who spoke in unison.
It's absolutely impossible! It's impossible to leave anyone alone. What's the difference between that and waiting to die?
"The four of us must advance and retreat together! No one can be left behind!" Lin Qingping said.
Gong Jing cried and shook her head, "It's useless, I will only drag you down. Without me, the three of you still have a chance. With me holding you back, the four of us will die here!"
"Don't talk about death! No one will die!" Lin Qingping corrected her immediately, "Let's take a break for a while. Maybe we are not far from getting out of the mountain."
Gong Jing held back her tears and shook her head desperately. How could it be possible? How could they be close to the exit of the mountain? They were walking so slowly. After such a long time, they hadn't walked very far...
"It sounds like someone is shouting! Listen!" He Xin suddenly said.
Everyone held their breath and indeed heard sounds, one after another, urgent and long.
"It seems like someone is calling your name, Lin Qingping." Zhong Xiaoxiao also heard it, "Is it... your lover?"
Of course Lin Qingping heard it, and she heard it more clearly and vividly than anyone else. After all, it was a voice that she was very familiar with.
She didn't even need to respond. Zhong Xiaoxiao was more active than her and shouted, "We are here! Here!"
Gu Juncheng paused for a moment, then shouted even louder, "Lin Qingping! Is that you?"
"Yes! It's us! We are here!" Gong Jing also shouted. She was already in a state of collapse, so she didn't care whether she knew them or not. She just knew that they were saved! Someone came to save them!
He Xin used his fingers as a whistle and blew it hard.
The clear whistle echoed in the valley, and Lin Qingping finally saw the light of a flashlight shining above their heads.
They had slid down the valley with the landslide, and after being injured, they had no strength to climb back up to the road, so they had been walking down the valley. At this moment, the light of the flashlight shone down, and there were shadowy figures above. There were several people, but Lin Qingping recognized the most familiar one among them at a glance.
At that moment, Lin Qingping suddenly understood the meaning of the saying "I would still recognize you even if you turned into ashes."
Some people, once they have entered your life, even if they just pass by your eyes like the wind, you can smell a different scent, and along with the past, the warmth of hope will emerge in the bleak and cold night.
