The old lady's head was covered with a cloth, so I bumped it up and advised her: "Actually, you don't have to be too sad. After death, people may be as heavy as a mountain or as light as white hair. You also said that your mother's body is inherently fragile.
No, I fell asleep without any pain now, which is considered a joyful loss."
"Over there in Guizhou, there are banquets for celebrations and funerals, and no one will cry."
After listening to my words, she raised her head, her already sallow face looking even more haggard.
"Brother Xiang, I know you have good intentions, but you don't need to persuade me anymore. I will learn to accept it slowly."
"That's good. I'm afraid you can't think about it. The top priority now is to bring your mother back safely for burial."
It's so hot.
Walking out of the Lost Soul Forest, it was extremely hot at noon.
Her mother originally weighed 80 kilograms, but now I estimate that she must be at least 90 kilograms. Judging from this temperature, I estimate that her mother will have orange juice flowing from her nose until tomorrow at most.
I walked hard and was out of breath.
At 3:30, I came out of the woods and saw Lao Guo's experimental field from a distance.
The snake girl said: "Brother Xiang, how about we go there to have a rest?"
"No, forget it, let's go, we still have water."
I was a little afraid to see Lao Guo, because we lost the generator we borrowed from someone, not to mention that we were carrying an old lady on our back, so it was hard to explain.
I'm not very strong, but as a man, I'm stronger than her.
After walking around all day, at around 5 o'clock, we arrived at the red pine forest.
I put the old lady down gently, wiped my sweat and said, "Watch your mother and wait for me here. I plan to travel all night. Now I'm going to the tribe to borrow a horse."
There is still a long way to go from the Sherpa tribe to Kangding County, and I have long considered coming here to borrow horses.
Many people in the Sherpa tribe had seen me before, and they were not too surprised by my sudden appearance.
"Holy shit! Why are you here, brother? Aren't you digging graves in the mountains?"
Brother Biao opened the door and asked me, shirtless and dripping with sweat.
"Let me think about it...Did you let Qi Penggan's entire army be wiped out, and you were the only one left? Did you come to my place to take refuge?"
"How can it be!"
I was speechless and said: "Brother Biao, you don't know, I was beaten so hard by the July crawl that I didn't even dare to show my head!"
"I was passing by here on some business and wanted to borrow a horse."
Brother Biao was dubious: "Borrow a horse? What are you pulling?"
"I'm not pulling anything, I'm just bringing something. Brother Biao, just tell me whether you want to borrow it or not. I can buy it with my money."
"Brother, that's what you said. Can I ask for your money? Come with me."
Brother Biao led me to the stable and indicated that I could choose whatever I wanted. Soon, I chose a big yellow-headed horse that looked strong.
I took the horse out and asked, "Is everything okay in your tribe?"
Brother Biao looked worried, shook his head and said, "It's okay, nothing happened for the time being."
"Then I'm leaving, Brother Biao, I have something urgent to do."
"Okay, brother, I won't give it away."
Leading the horse away, I walked very slowly on purpose, hoping to see that white figure, but unfortunately I didn't.
It's much faster to have a horse. The three of us are riding on the horse. No, the snake girl's mother can only be said to be "clamped" on the horse.
I am in the front, the snake girl is in the back, and her mother is in the middle.
If outsiders didn't step forward and weren't careful, they would probably think that it was an old lady who was tired from the journey and fell asleep.
Occasionally, the night wind would blow, and inadvertently, it would blow open the clothes covering her mother's face...
