Lan Xi listened intently and stared at the man intently.

The man paused, glanced at his child, and continued speaking.

"Someone in our ancestors discovered the method of climbing the snow-capped mountain, and it was passed on by word of mouth to my generation. If I hadn't been too persistent, my father would not have told me how to climb the mountain."

The snow-capped mountains stretch for thousands of miles, steep and cold.

If you want to go up, you have high requirements on your physical fitness, and you have to face extreme weather such as strong winds, snowstorms and glaciers after going up, which also poses continuous challenges to people's hearts.

"Actually, there is one part of the snow mountain that is slightly gentler than other places. Compared with facing vertical ice walls and steep rocky cliffs directly from other directions, it is relatively easier to go up from here. This is why our ancestors climbed the mountain many times. The result after practice."

The man's name is Musa, and he has heard about his family being a "mountain leader" since he was a child.

He is very curious and wants to climb snow-capped mountains, but every time he wants to go mountain climbing, he is persuaded by his father to come back.

Not only that, but his father also told him that his grandfather fell off the cliff of the snow mountain. If it weren't for the clothes on his body, the grandfather who fell into a muddy flesh and was beyond recognition would not be recognized by others.

Even after learning the cause of his grandfather's death, he still felt guilty and wanted to climb the snow mountain.

In order to climb the mountain, he began to exercise his physical fitness desperately, until one day, a few people came to him, saying that they were tourists who liked adventure, and wanted him to lead the way to the snow-capped mountains. For less money, Musa agreed without hesitation.

Over the years, his research on snow-capped mountains can be said to be in-depth. He spent more than a year carefully investigating and studying the changes in terrain and climate. He was discovered by his father when he was about to climb the mountain.

After persuasion to no avail, the old man decided to climb the mountain with Musa.

Because when he was young, his father also took him to climb several times.

The old man led a few people, starting from the mountain pass where he and his father used to climb, and they just used rock climbing tools to try their best to climb up, and finally encountered a snowstorm in the middle of the climb.

Under the extremely harsh conditions, several people still gritted their teeth and persisted. Even though they were fully armed, some people still got frostbite.

The climbing process has to go beyond independent rocks and ice troughs, not only that, but also to cross cracks and glaciers. Not only are there many cracks on the snow mountain, but the distance is also very large. People are still holding on.

They didn't mean that they could leave if they wanted to leave after collecting the money.

Possibly by bad luck, they encountered an avalanche.

The snow on the mountain collapsed along the mountain body, rushing directly towards them with a ruthless momentum. The first reaction of the few people was to run quickly.

However, the exhaustion of physical strength and the low-level temperature put a certain burden on the body, but the desire to survive stimulated the potential of their bodies. During the escape process, one of the members of the team still suffered a disaster.

When the avalanche stopped, they dug in place for a long time, but they didn't find any trace after searching for a long time.

The endless snow-capped mountains and the tall and straight peaks made many people in the team retreat, which is what Musa's father was happy to see.

Several people discussed and decided to go back the same way. When he and Musa were about to lead the crowd to retreat, they heard someone exclaim.

It was only then that they noticed that there were many snow-white, fluffy insects no longer than a finger long emerging from the avalanche. The insects had two rows of slender legs, and they crawled extremely fast, directly towards the person closest to them. .

The man didn't know that a bug had crawled on his body. Before he could react, he felt that he had been bitten hard on the back of his neck!
In an instant, he started to yell uncontrollably: "Fire! I'm scalding to death! There's fire burning me! Come and help me!"

Hearing the call for help, his teammates of course rushed forward to help him slap all the bugs off his body, but the bugs seemed to be pervasive, and could penetrate into the thick clothes on his body.

The team members who went up to rescue people were also besieged by bugs. More and more bugs came out of the snow, and many people in the team were hit. The father and son wanted to go up to the rescue, but they didn't expect the screams to trigger There was another avalanche.

Out of human instinct, they could only save their own lives and flee far away, and they didn't know how long they ran before stopping.

"I really regret it now. I regret agreeing to take them up. Sometimes I dream that they ask me why I didn't save them. My conscience is also condemned day and night."

Musa slapped his head hard in remorse, and when he grabbed the black hair on his head with his big hand, the veins on the back of his hand were bulging.

The light in the eyes of the old man at the side also dimmed a lot, with deep guilt on his face.

He let out a long sigh, clenching his hands on his lap into fists.

"Later we also went to look for it. Although we were afraid of the weird insects, our conscience couldn't let it go. We didn't find anyone near the avalanche. We wondered if they were buried under the snow, so we used the ones we carried with us. The tools began to dig."

"Sure enough, none of those people survived the disaster, but... What we didn't expect was that those people turned out to be totally disfigured!"

"Their skin was bitten by insects, and there was no good skin. The bloody appearance was very scary. Some people's faces had been gnawed so that the bones under the skin could be seen."

Recalling the original scene, the old man felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach for a while, and his face became even uglier.

Musa took a deep breath and continued: "It's strange to say that when we found the bodies of those people, we didn't find one of those strange insects. Later, my father dug a pit, and I carried everyone into the pit. Buried."

Lan Xi stared down at the table, sorting out what Musa said just now.

The old man added another sentence: "Our father and son called the police after returning, but there was no news after that."

"After I came back, I was seriously ill, and my body suddenly didn't feel well. It took two or three years for me to get better. Maybe it was retribution. I was diagnosed with cancer half a year ago. If it weren't for the card you gave my father With so much money, I’m afraid I don’t even have the money for medical treatment now.”

The topic came back again, and Musa was a little agitated. He stood up with his crutches, as if mustering up his courage, and said loudly: "Benefactor, it is really dangerous there, and at that time we only walked for a short distance. So many incredible things have happened, you must think carefully!"

"Cough cough cough."

He became very emotional and emotionally surged, and he couldn't help coughing a few times.

Seeing his father's face flushed suddenly, the little boy beside him was startled, and quickly patted him on the back with his own little hand.

After dozens of seconds, Musa's situation was eased.

The little boy picked up a water glass from a low cabinet and handed it to him.

Musa touched the little boy's head in relief, opened the water glass and took a few sips.

The little boy glanced at his grandfather, he pursed his mouth and looked at Lanxi, his eyes were as bright and sincere as black gemstones.

"Sister, my father won't lie. Grandpa also told me that the snow mountain is unknown, so our family moved here. I don't want my sister to take risks."
