37 Self-Confidence
The snow fell more quickly, and it hit my face, which affected my vision. I tilted my head slightly, and re-orientated on the road section lacking iron chains; firm.
Even though the blister on my right foot seemed to be worn out, it started to feel unbearably itchy.
Even though every breath of air I exhale is clammy and cold, it makes me uncomfortable.
Even though my whole body was wet, even when I was walking, I still shivered from the cold.
Occasionally, a piece of misty white wind flew by, which looked like a cloud that I usually look at from afar.I reached out to fish unconsciously, and the cold and soft feeling wrapped around my fingers, and then disappeared without a trace.
It feels like being on a cloud.
If a person can "fly through the clouds" at a certain height, then I must have surpassed this height; although my current steps are as clumsy as a snail.
But when I realized this, I felt more relaxed; I tightened my wool cap, and I couldn't help but raise the corners of my mouth, and passed a few more bends; a tunnel-like building suddenly appeared in front of me.
Behind her, she put her hand on my shoulder, "It's the wind." Many mountain friends nestled in it to rest, but there was still some space inside.
The wind and snow are blowing at the front end, and I can only see a little bit.The people who followed up couldn't stay here, so they just stood at the corner just up, leaning against the cold rock to rest.
Siqi and I snuggled together, she circled me, and took out the sports drink she brought, I took a sip, although it was cold, I felt very comfortable at the moment.I didn't realize I was soaking wet until my body was still!The trek just now was really exhausting.
"Just now you walked very fast on the road ahead."
"Really?" She nodded, and I pursed my lips, "Probably because you were in the front and I walked more easily."
"It's better to say that your fighting spirit has been awakened." It seems reasonable for her to say so.
"If this continues, I won't be able to see the sunrise", I vaguely heard someone say that, but I've already arrived here, wouldn't it be a pity to turn back just because I couldn't see the sunrise?
"The wind and snow have become smaller!" Soon, I heard the people behind say excitedly, as if they had had enough rest, or they might be encouraged by the better weather, the people in the front began to get out of the building; With the sound of the wind, the footsteps of the person in front stopped for a while, and then they buried their heads forward like climbing the gravel slope just now.
Soon it was our turn to stand at the wind outlet; only at the front can we feel the strong wind here, Siqi waited for a while, as if he seized the opportunity and shouted to me: "Let's go!"
I got out of the air, and she followed closely, and we lowered our bodies and moved forward.The snow had almost stopped at this time, and after walking for a certain distance, the strong wind pressing on my body disappeared miraculously. I continued walking along the road, feeling quite joyful that I was about to reach the finish line.
The sky has gradually brightened, but it is still gray and white without color, and it is even dark blue like a starry night in the cloudless place; I noticed that a corner of the sky was as clean as if it had been washed, and the contrast of different sky colors alone was enough to make me Appreciate it for a while.
"Coming."
I heard Siqi say this, and when I climbed the last small gentle slope, my field of vision suddenly widened; all the mountain friends who had been nesting in front of the wind vent all sat or stood to find a space to rest.
The road has come to an end.
Some people have turned on the flash to take pictures of the stele on the top of the mountain, but most of them tighten their raincoats or coats to drink water and rest.Almost all the good seats were taken when we arrived, but more people came up one after another.
"Are you there?" I turned around, and she had already raised the camera, the sudden flash made me squint my eyes, and she adjusted the angle of the flash and took another shot.
"Hmm." She stretched out her hand to hold me, hesitated for a while, and hugged me with open arms like no one was around.
"You have completed the summit attack. You are now standing on the highest point on the island. You have successfully passed the test." She said to me emotionally and tenderly, her chin resting on her raincoat, feeling the coldness of the snow, and exhaling hot air I have no reason to feel like crying, not because I am moved by standing on the highest peak.
It was the pride in her tone of praise when she praised me, as if she had obtained the rarest treasure.
She is proud of me.
"I..." Even though my feet were so sore that I wanted to sit and rest, and the cold wind was blowing beside me, every blow was like a whip into the heavy clothes, and the soaked clothes were sticky. It doesn't matter, the pain in my back doesn't matter anymore, even the little things that bothered me before can be forgotten, I made the most important part of the trip, with her .
She shook her head and stroked my face through the gloves and fur hat, "Look at this scenery, this is the price after hard work." She pointed in the direction of the sea of clouds and mountains, and I noticed the cleanness that had been washed. The sky, the gray and white sky began to have color, and she explained to me which side is Yushan West Peak and where is Xiuguluan Mountain. I can't remember clearly, I only know that we have a chance to see the sunrise.
The mountain in the east first jumped out of a blue sky, and a white halo was faintly seen, and then the white turned into golden yellow. When the first morning light finally shot towards us, my tears could no longer be held back.
There was a burst of cheers around us, I looked up at the boundless sky, blue, purple, white clouds and golden dawn merged into one, the green between the hilltops and hillsides gradually became clear, I watched quietly All of this, leaning on her side, holding the camera to capture this natural beauty, pressing the shutter repeatedly as if she didn't miss any chance.
When she caught my sight, she stopped shooting. I cried, but also smiled. I read the tenderness and touch that belonged to me in her eyes; she didn't say anything, but just held my hand tightly.
No matter how strong the cold wind around you is, you can still feel its heat when your whole body is bathed in the sun.A group of mountain friends who had enjoyed the dawn began to evacuate after taking pictures, and the people behind immediately made up.
I turned to the place where there were relatively few people, and the cold wind suddenly stopped, and the unstained mountains at my feet were still silent black ash.
She approached, "What are you looking at?"
"Over there, there is a sea of clouds." I sighed, and covered my mouth with emotion, "It's really beautiful...you know? I don't really like the outdoors. I almost stayed in the city since I was a child. It's the first time I've been to a place like this…”
"Like it?"
"I like it very much!" I laughed, "But I don't know when I will have the chance to come again; maybe I will only come this time in my life."
"One precious memory is enough; many times it is not enough."
I agreed with her and just stood there admiring the view; looking back, the top of the mountain was almost empty, and we'd outlasted everyone else.
The sun has risen to a higher position, the cold wind seems to have weakened a little, and I am beginning to feel a little hot.
"Go down?"
I shook my head, "Stay a little longer." Leaving her, I walked to the side of the stele alone, facing the warm dawn, a little reluctant to leave, but I knew it was impossible to stay here forever, and after the excitement passed, I felt my head hurt from the cold.
My heart was beating fast, facing the boundless scenery, I thought of a song for no reason—the melody became clearer in the wind beside my ears.
I close my eyes.
"After the night the sun will rise and after the storm there will be sunshine
When we walk hand in hand together, the rainbow is in our hearts
There must be wind and rain on the road of life, the courage to irrigate life with tears
Use hope as wings in the wind to let dreams take away the melancholy in your heart..."
"Don't you want to continue singing?" I opened my eyes only to realize that she had come to me. "Good to hear."
I shook my head, pursed my lips and smiled embarrassedly. "I forgot the lyrics later!" I raised my head and met her warm eyes. I took a deep breath, and felt an eager throbbing in my chest, ready to vent at any time. "I feel... I seem to know what I should do?"
"Well, I seem to know it too." She leaned over and offered a butterfly kiss. "Go down?"
Looking around the scenery again, I finally nodded without any worries. "Um!"
With a satisfied mood and emotion, at the moment I walked down the mountain, I confirmed one thing.
I have left Yu Xiaoning, who is vulnerable and shrunk in the shell, in the beautiful scenery on the top of the mountain. From now on, I will be the one with a smile on my face.
A whole new me.
***
We stayed at the top of the mountain for four to ten minutes. Although we left with a satisfied and moved mood, challenges always came from unexpected places.
It took us two days to reach the summit, but the descent was the same day!When I went back to the mountain house to pack my luggage, I suddenly realized this, and couldn't help but fell on the bed!
"Of course! Otherwise, do you think we can sleep here for another night?" Siqi looked at me funny, "Get up! Take a rest, the person who sleeps here tonight may come soon !"
"Hey... I'm so tired!" I'm really tired!When going down the gravel slope, I felt that my knees were bearing the weight of my body all the time, which made my whole foot sore now; and no surprise, the blister burst. I cleaned and disinfected it with alcohol cotton pads and re-attached the OK bandage; after the early morning After that snowfall, my sneakers got wet; I only had this pair of shoes, so I could only endure the cold and heavy feeling of wet shoes and step on them down the mountain.
I really want to borrow shoes from her, but I also know that her feet are too big, and I can't wear them at all.
Going up the mountain is indeed a test; but I didn't expect that the way down the mountain is even more painful.The back and forth of climbing to the summit, plus the journey from the mountain house to the trailhead, the distance to walk today is much more than yesterday.
We rested for about an hour, rehydrated and prepared to head home.
"By the way, lend me your phone." Walking out of the gate of the mountain house, she suddenly asked me.
"Who to call?"
"Brother Lin!" She raised her eyebrows, taking it for granted. "I made an appointment with him, and he is also on vacation today; let's call him now, maybe he just arrived when we arrived at the mountain entrance."
I finally turned on my phone which had been off for two days. After seeing the familiar wallpaper, I suddenly thought, I seem to have a good reason to update the phone wallpaper.
She returned it to me after she finished contacting. "Okay! He will pick us up at the entrance of the mountain, let's go!"
"Wait a minute!" I gripped the phone tightly and grabbed her who was about to leave boldly. "I, I also thought of a call to make."
"Did you call home to report your safety?"
"Uh... that's right! The reception here is not very good, I'll go to the other side!" I walked away from her a few steps, and she looked at me with more doubts. "You take a photo as you like! I'll be fine soon."
I swayed to the other side, and replaced the tablecloth with a photo of her holding a camera to take a picture of the couple tree. At the same time, I confirmed that most of her face was blocked by the camera.Very good, it shouldn't be easy for others to recognize her.
Then, I found the phone number I hadn't dialed since logging in.
After taking a deep breath and deciding how to speak, I pressed dial.
'Hello? 'When the call came through, the opponent looked very surprised and excited.
Biting her lip, she knew she shouldn't hesitate now. "It's me... I have something to say."
