It was very cold in Erdaobaihe in autumn. Fortunately, Xiaohua warmly prepared clothes for me. I wrapped myself in my jacket and followed him, walking forward with him. I asked him: "Don't you want to commit suicide here?"

He glanced at me, shook his head, and continued walking forward. I said, "Then you plan to stay here for a long time? Why did you choose such a cold place?"

He looked ahead, and after a long time he said: "It's not here, I want to go there." I looked up, and following his gaze, I saw the continuous snow-capped mountains towering on the horizon in front of me.

I had to stop at that moment and was stunned for a while before I continued to catch up: "You want to go into the mountain?"

He didn't answer me, he just kept going straight towards the snow-capped mountains.

Menyouping didn't say a word along the way, and he didn't intend to stop. Regardless of whether I could keep up or not, he kept going.

I kept asking, but to no avail. Several times I felt angry inside and thought, let it go, you can just die if you want.

My judgment was that the man himself was bound for death, for I could not see any food parcels in him: he went all the way. All I have on me is the backpack. Based on our experience in the last time we went into the mountains, we would starve to death in less than three days after entering the mountains with such equipment, let alone return to the city.

The further I walked, the worse I felt, and soon I saw a small black car pulling people up the mountain. I had no choice but to buy some stuff from a store I saw along the way and stuff it into my bag. Buying those dry goods doesn’t take up much space, and the bag is filled with all kinds of plastic bags.

After that, the two of us got into the Xiaomian taxi and drove all the way up the mountain.

At this time, Menyouping looked at me and said to me: "You can't follow me." "If I advise you not to go, will you not go?" I asked him. He shook his head, and I became furious: "***. So, if you advise me not to go, I won't listen. So stop talking. I will follow."

He looked at me and turned away. I really stopped talking.

We said nothing all the way until we arrived at a tourist inn in the mountains. When he came down, the temperature was already quite low. He went straight to the inn and booked a room. I followed him without looking. At this time, I was getting angry.

Menyoupin still didn't say a word. When I lay down in the room, I began to regret it.

Entering the mountains in our current situation. The equipment that Mengyoubo had prepared before was correct, but my equipment was too crude and I would definitely die. I'm afraid we won't even get halfway to our destination and I'll freeze to death in there. Menyouping must have understood this, so he didn't stop me at all, because as soon as I reached the snow line, the question I faced must be whether to die immediately or to retreat. I threatened him with my life. It seems to be of no use this time.

Menyouping said before,

He only saves people who don't want to die, if the other person can choose to die or not, and the other person chooses death. He will not interfere. My current situation is the same as what he said - if I choose to go to the snow line, follow him and freeze to death, he will not step in to save me.

I took advantage of his rest. Go out and buy more equipment now. There were a lot of travel friends in the hotel. I took the cash and bought a little here and a little there. When the money was not enough, I swiped my card with the hotel owner and exchanged cash at a ratio of ten to eight to continue purchasing. It took a lot of effort to get together a set of equipment that can be used right now.

After I put it on, it was absolutely miserable. Xiaohua's jacket was not thick enough. I had to wear another one on top, which looked quite bulky. Just like a bear. The two gloves are different, the left-hand one is still a women's one. It is extremely small and can hardly be operated after wearing it. Basically, all work must be done with the right hand.

There was a pair of hiking boots, but the previous owner obviously had sweaty feet, and they were so smelly that they could kill rice dumplings. I had no choice but to put it on.

There were also some compressed biscuits for hiking. I sorted them out and put all the cooking utensils and smokeless stoves into the big hiking bag I got. Then I broke up the snacks I bought before and put them into a big plastic bag. I also put it in and finally felt at ease.

After finishing it, I went back to rest, and when I lay on the bed, I quit. I don't know what I was doing, but I just couldn't let him go into the mountains alone. I had no reason to persuade him, because I didn't know what he wanted to do. I could only follow him in and know what he wanted to do, and only then could I persuade him to come back.

But, I don't know why, I feel like this time, my behavior was very bad. I couldn't sleep at all in the middle of the night. When I woke up, I called my father and Xiaohua and told Xiaohua my thoughts.

Dad just told me to have fun, but I thought to myself, how could I be happy? After hearing this, Xiaohua pondered for a moment and then said: "I was going to advise you not to follow this matter, but I think you can give it a try for the time being. After all, if you don't do anything, you will never live in peace in this life. But I suggest you pay attention to your distance when you go in. It's autumn now and Changbai Mountain has not yet closed. You should know which line to cross before going in, and you will have a narrow escape. If you don't persuade him to go back before this line, you will Turn back,"

I said: "But he doesn't communicate with me at all. How can I persuade him?"

"I believe that since he has come to say goodbye to you, as long as you say something, even if he doesn't answer, he will still hear your words." Xiaohua said.

At noon the next day, Menyou Ping and I set out together. When he went out, he looked back at me and I looked at him. I said, "Don't worry, I will accompany you for the last journey." Then he turned around and set off.

Everything that happened after that was nothing worth recording, even a running account was unnecessary. Three days passed by and we entered the snow line.

Autumn is the peak tourist season in Changbai Mountain. There are many scenic spots above the snow line, and there are even places where you can replenish supplies. I was very excited to complete the replenishment of resources at several recording points on the snow line.

Walking further inside, passing through the area where there are tourists, is the trail we used to enter the snow-capped mountains. Now it is completely different. But the stuffy oil bottle still has a solution. He walked forward, constantly looking at the surrounding mountains and the direction of the sun. At dusk that day, we reached the ridge of a snow-capped mountain.

In the dusk, I saw a familiar scene again: the snow-capped mountains under the setting sun, showing a completely seamless feeling of warmth and coldness. At that time, Menyouping was worshiping the snowy mountains in the distance under the same sunset. But this time he did not kneel down, but looked at it calmly. The sunset shone on his face, giving him a feeling of extreme desolation. To be continued
