Chapter 17 Chapter 17
At 45:[-] in the morning, the cargo plane converted from a small airliner landed at the airport in the Golan Valley.
Everyone got off the plane one after another, while Jimmy sat alone on the bench, sleeping soundly.
The seat belt hangs from his left shoulder to his right waist, and with every breath he takes, it slides slightly and is undone with a snap.
Unmoved, Jimmy leaned firmly against the porthole behind him, murmuring dreamily: "I'm on top, I'm on top, this isn't a dream..."
He was pulled into a hug, and then he struggled to move his body and woke up.
Then he came face to face with Lin Mu.
Lin Shu dragged him out of the gentle village, exposed him to the cold morning air in the Golan Valley, and then pressed it against his ear, pretending to be curious inadvertently: "Did you dream that you were up there again?"
Jimmy was furious: "I dreamed that I was on the top of the mountain! The phone has no signal! Why are you in the Golan Valley? I don't know if there is a danger of an avalanche here just now? You just transferred back to see the letter and didn't tell people to go to work honestly—"
Lin Mu is innocent: "I'm just at work. Jianxin sent me here." He pointed to the boxes of life detectors carried by the local porter. The column of the export manufacturer reads square Chinese characters: Jianxin .
Lin Mu asked him back, "Why did they let you come?"
Jimmy let out a long sigh, never expecting that besides his excellent mind and young muscles, he has other advantages that are useful for rescue: "I am blood type O, a universal blood type."
Lin Mu smiled: "Coincidentally, me too." He took out his letter of employment ID and showed it to Jimmy.
In the ID photo, Lin Mu has a neat cropped head, piercing eyes, and a straight nose, as if he is going to film TVB's pilot TV series.The scar on his forehead made by others in his early years made him look even more masculine.
"Our work permits all have blood types written on them. It is easy to have accidents in this line of work, and it is convenient for first aid when the wounded are sent to the hospital. The photo of the pilot on the top is not allowed to laugh, because...in case of an accident, this photo will be used as a portrait. .”
"Bah, bah, bah." After hearing this, Jimmy immediately searched for three boards in place, finally found a wooden crutch used by his husband, and hurriedly knocked on it three times according to the British custom, to knock out bad luck.
If he had known the story behind the ID photo, he would rather not look at that handsome captain.
He would rather have a captain who laughs until he loses shape, even if he is angry at him and frowns to let him go, it is better than having him face his ID photo forever...
At dawn, Oxford Rescue and American Aid took inventory of the rescue team's personnel and supplies at the hotel at the entrance of the Golan Valley.
The hotel was only made of a few broken zinc panels, and a dozen rescuers walked on the floor making heavy footsteps.Lin Mu and Jimmy each received a cup of hot lemon tea, held them in their hands, breathed out, and listened to Dr. Pete's lecture. Jimmy saw that Ji Yuanyuan was also coming, and knew that she was partnering with the captain. If survivors were found, their crew would be responsible for transporting them back to the capital.
"My name is Pete Richardson, you just call me Pete. I am the general manager of this Golan rescue operation. My job is a doctor of the American Aid Association, and I also served as the chief of field rescue during the Revolutionary War." Command. This rescue is a humanitarian rescue. My only request to everyone is: protect yourself—save yourself first, and then save others. Apart from this, I have no other requirements. I believe you will not Those who are bound by prejudices such as nationality, identity, etc. You will help everyone who appears in front of you and needs help."
More than a dozen rescue team members looked at Dr. Pete, hope was rekindled in their tired eyes.Except for the two Chinese, Lin Mu and Chen Yan, the members of Pete and the American Aid Association are Americans, the members of Jimmy and the Oxford Association are British, and there are also volunteers from the three southern countries, and even Israelis, Koreans, and Mexicans... …
For the same goal, with the same belief, all of them put out their own abilities, unwilling to travel thousands of miles, hoping to snatch the hope of one or two lives from the impermanent nature.
"Who here has gone up 4000 meters before, which is [-] feet?" Chen Yan held his notebook and began to count the personal information and allergy symptoms of the rescue team members.
Everyone raised their hands.
"Very well. Has anyone ever climbed 5000 meters, or [-] feet?"
Most people lowered their hands, while Jimmy and Lin Mu still raised them.They have all been to Zadi Snow Mountain near Taal before, the snow mountain is more than 500 meters above sea level.
"Has anyone ever climbed 6000 meters? That's [-] feet."
Only Dr. Pete and Ji Yuanyuan still raised their hands.
When asked about 7000 meters and 8000 meters, Dr. Pete put down his hand.
"So how high have you been?" Chen Yan couldn't help asking Ji Yuanyuan in Chinese.
"[-], I've been to the summit of Mount Everest before." Ji Yuanyuan answered lightly, as if to say that she bought another bag yesterday.
Chen Yan then assigned Jimmy, Lin Mu, and Ji Yuanyuan to the task of going to the Island Peak base camp. They had to hike with Dr. Pete for three days to camp on the ice near the base camp, and at the same time began to look for people.
If you can't find anyone for one day, stay for one day, and if you can't find anyone for two days, stay for two days until the reserve supplies are exhausted.This task requires the rescue team to have the ability to survive at high altitude for a short period of time.
The base camp detachment set off, and it took only one morning to pass through the green and dense forests of the Golan Valley, cross several streams with extremely low water volume in winter, and come to a waterfall to rest.
Everyone was so tired that they buried their heads in eating biscuits and pouring water into their stomachs.
Jimmy patted the captain invisibly, pointing to the sky: "Look."
The captain looked over and saw a small rainbow floating where the waterfall meets the pool.The colors of the rainbow were distinct, and they walked to the pool to take a closer look.
"I've never seen a rainbow before." Lin Mu deliberately enjoyed this moment, the rare peace in the wild after wars and natural disasters.
Although his family was poor since he was a child, his mother loves him and can be regarded as dependable.I was busy doing exams when I was in school, and worked overtime day and night in the factory. Later, when I learned to fly, I also had to practice on the rotator until I vomited, just to get a higher altitude than others.
How could he have the time and mood to look at the rainbow.Until now, there is a guy who is warmer than a lamb and makes people want to be close to him... Only then did I realize that the rainbow is so beautiful.A thing that cannot be touched or hugged can ignite a little spark in the deepest part of a person's heart...
Just as Lin Mu was staring at the rainbow, Jimmy secretly stuffed a marinated egg into his mouth.
It turns out that watching the rainbow is for this.
"Shh, I still have some in my bag, according to the quota, one for each of us every day."
Lin Mu looked at him for a long time, tried his best to control the desire to press him against the stone and kiss him all over regardless of everyone's eyes, and turned around lightly.
He thought, wait for peace.
When there is peace, I will take you home.We were on a satellite phone high up in the valley, and the phone screen was covered in snowflakes.Then we're going to a warm place.There, you're all alone on the couch, and I'm stuck in the kitchen, cooking dinner right away.
After another half day, everyone walked for more than eight hours, nearly [-] kilometers, and finally arrived at a clearing on the mountainside of the Golan Valley, ready to set up camp.The mountaineering teams who have always climbed the island peak will choose to camp here, and they even saw the traces of fireworks left on the ground by the team that suffered an avalanche the day before.
This made everyone eager to try and hope to arrive at the rescue point as soon as possible, and start to assist in rescue and descent.
Several vanguards put on headlamps and trekked for more than two hours, and arrived at the camping point deep in the valley, hoping to start the rescue in the early morning of tomorrow.
When they arrived, they realized that the local porters who did not understand English followed the wrong team.I was supposed to carry the most spacious double-layer tent to the camping site, but the porter who followed only brought three small tents.
"It's definitely too late to return now."
"Don't go back, who said we're going back? We have to get up early tomorrow, and start the rescue before the sun melts the snow. Lin Mu and I sleep in a tent. You guys from America Aid sleep in a tent, and she sleeps in that."
While Jimmy was talking, Ji Yuanyuan had already set up a tent by himself.Hammering the nails of the second tent into the ice.
They hurried up to help.
After everything was settled, Jimmy and Lin Mu huddled in their tents, absently saying goodnight to their teammates outside.
Chen Yan babbled, "I'll call you at 04:30 tomorrow. We must set off at [-]:[-]. If we leave late, the sun will melt the snow, which will easily cause an avalanche, which is especially dangerous. Last year—"
Jimmy interrupted him: "Last year, a rescue team set off late because they got up early to cook instant noodles, and the ice surface heated up and caused an avalanche. You know, you've said it [-] times."
Chen Yan put on that disgusting face of a senior again: "That's because you can't remember—"
Jimmy turned off the lights in the tent: "Good night, good night."
Then he was alone in the room with Lin Mu.
It's not the first time they've been in the same room together.Even when the captain just arrived in Thal, Jimmy let him stay in his living room next to Lamb Bingtang.
But this time is different.
This time they were wearing the same style of down jackets, one dark green and one snow white.This time their tents were too shabby and had no insulation, and the magnificent Milky Way in the night sky of the Golan Valley was clearly visible through a thin layer of cloth.
They are no longer strangers, ordinary friends, or even good friends who just chat.And the space in the tent is so small that only two people can lie flat, and it is very difficult to even turn around.
It was very similar to that day in the desert, in the narrow back seat of the black box, Jimmy was restrained by the trees and couldn't move, but he didn't want to move either.He just wants the captain to do whatever he wants with him.
Keeping Jimmy on his toes right now would be like giving him a chance to study inorganic chemistry during finals week.He gave up from the beginning.
Jimmy tentatively moved closer to the tree, and planted intermittent light kisses on his lips, nose tip, eyelids, and forehead.Every kiss has no desire to show off, but just a confirmation like a greeting, confirming that the forest in front of you is so warm, so longing, and so shy.
"They'll see . . . the tent sees light through—uh—"
Jimmy took Lin Shu's earlobe in one bite, and drew circles one after another on it with the tip of his tongue.Just this made Lin Mu's whole body go limp, he stretched out his hands and hugged Jimmy's back tightly, trying to push him into his body.
"In such a hurry?" Jimmy breathed in his ear, with a smirk, "Do you want it? Just say it if you want it..."
He sucked harder, and even exhaled into Lin Mu's ear maliciously.Lin Mu only felt a puff of fire rising out of nowhere, burning all over the forest in an instant.
"I don't want to. Go to bed quickly." He wanted to end it before he couldn't control himself, fearing that Jimmy wouldn't believe it, and emphasized, "I have to get up early tomorrow. Now I can only sleep for three hours."
Jimmy left his ears awkwardly, curled his lips: "Okay. Listen to you. You don't want it if you don't want it. You have the final say in our family."
Jimmy lay down, and Lin Shu also lay down.The stars above the head are shining silver, like a grand scene in a snow and ice fairy tale.Just as Lin Shu was about to fall asleep, Jimmy suddenly patted him awake: "Did you know? Our sleeping bag brand is very high-end. They can be put together. You don't know it when you look at it, old-fashioned, I will give you Demonstrate one."
Half propped up, Jimmy unzipped the side zippers of the two-person sleeping bag, and miraculously, the zippers of the two single sleeping bags could be snapped together to form a seamless double sleeping bag.
Jimmy and Lin Mu slept in the same bed.
Lin Shu couldn't sleep anymore.It was the first time they slept in the same bed, how could it not make people daydream.Just as he was staring at the stars, he felt Jimmy put his hand up.
Lin Shu could not restrain himself from making a sound.He twisted so hard Jimmy thought he was trying to break free.But he held Jimmy's wrist firmly, telling him to stop there and not leave.
Lin Mu seemed a little uncertain, his eyes were not very clear because of the sex, he just turned his face away, and let go of the hand that was holding him tightly.
Jimmy turned his face back, wrapped it in his arms, kissed it solemnly, crushed his lips, sucked the tip of his tongue passionately, and then let go.
"Don't be shy... Lin Mu, there will be more in the future. You are also an adult, it's time to learn—"
Lin Mu blocked his words with his lips, and at the same time Jimmy's hand stretched in, increasing the intensity...
Lin Mu's repressed panting gradually calmed down, and his hands covering his eyes also dropped loosely.That made Jimmy see the tattoo again.
"Tell me about it." He remembered that Lin Mu also asked him the same question, asking him to tell the story of Edison Chan. At that time, he was restless and changed the subject with a playful smile.
Now that Lin Mu is really talking to him seriously, even his breathing still has some shortness after intimacy.
"This is the constellation Ursa Major. Look, here, here, here, here, these few stars, do they look like it?"
"Okay."
"Then look at the constellation Ursa Major in the sky." Lin Shu pointed to the Milky Way through the tent.
"Where is it? I didn't see it."
"Look this way, you follow my finger."
"I still haven't seen it. Where is it?"
Lin Mu picked up Jimmy's finger and pointed to the home of the constellation Ursa Major in the Milky Way.And Jimmy, whose hand was held by him, finally succeeded in secretly laughing.
At 04:30 in the morning of the second day, the vanguard set off on time.
After they walked in silence for nearly two hours, the sun finally slowly dyed the horizon a pale pink.
Now they just need to climb the last vertical ice and they will reach Island Peak Base Camp.That's where the mountaineering team communicated with the outside world by satellite phone for the last time before the avalanche.
Everyone in the leading team had learned ice climbing, so everyone quickly formed a team: Ji Yuanyuan, who had the highest technical level, sent Chen Yan up first, and then Dr. Pete up.Finally, Jimmy and Lin Mu will go up in a group.
"Peace." Chen Yan said.
"OK, confirmed. My side is tripped." Ji Yuanyuan replied, and then shouted to Jimmy and Lin Mu below: "We've got it done, you guys start going."
When Jimmy tied him to the tree with the belay, he suddenly couldn't help thinking: If only he could be tied.If only... I could be chained to him forever.
As soon as this thought came out, even Jimmy himself was taken aback.
He was not without boyfriends and lovers in London.But he is always green leaves to them, and he has not cared as much as playing Pokémon.
He was too young at that time, but he was still a high school student or college student. He knew how to accommodate each other, empathize with each other, and it would be a miracle if he didn't quarrel and blackmail for a month or two.
Then something happened to the father.He seems to have been imprisoned in an invisible cage since then. His family and friends around him wanted to reach out, but he refused to accept any help.He was already determined to fall into the dark, he couldn't pull them with him.
But forest... forest is an exception.
For some reason, he seemed to be enlightened, and felt that Lin Mu would be the one who burned the darkness with fire.Trees are not afraid of darkness, because they are the light themselves.
In front of Lin Shu, he himself seemed to be a little illuminated by his light and became a little better.
Jimmy was a little proud and flattered in his heart, thinking: I have become a better volunteer now.He straightened the volunteer's vest, knelt down and put crampons on the soles of Lin Mu's shoes, and then walked away side by side.
Ji Yuanyuan and Chen Yan looked at the back of Jimmy and Lin Mu walking away side by side, thinking about something unusual.
Ji Yuanyuan took off her snow goggles, and stared at Chen Yan firmly: "Could you be confessing your love to him?"
Chen Yan thundered from the blue: "What?! Who are you talking about?!"
"Your junior, Jimmy. Otherwise, why would he ignore you all day, as if avoiding you. It's too sudden, you failed to confess."
Chen Yan covered his forehead, unable to bear to tell her the truth: "Why do you think so?!"
Ji Yuanyuan put on her snow goggles again, and she looked like an invincible female soldier again: "Let me tell you, Jimmy bothered our captain Lin just to avoid you... It's going to be bad luck. Jimmy is so miserable. Lin Mu has a bad temper But it stinks, he is famous in letters, he is tough, he is dull, he has no friends."
Chen Yan nodded in agreement, untied the protective rope, and left without looking back, wailing in his heart: No wonder Lin Mu formed a crew with you, there must be no one else willing.
