In the difficult situation of mutual need, the two people survived the long winter of snow-capped mountains and ushered in the spring of the second year. The spring here is very different from other places. The arrival of spring is not until May.
Stayed here for half a year.
With the arrival of spring, the snow begins to melt on a large scale. The melted snow water gathers along the lower areas to form small streams and trickles into the lakes in the north. The lakes have completely thawed and the water flow is fast, showing the atmosphere of spring.
The trees that had been covered with heavy snow all winter also showed their true colors, with their young teeth spitting out and full of vitality.
It's finally time to leave.
Yan Fenghuo went out and picked a lot of fresh wild vegetables. These were excellent things. He ate meat all winter and it made people crazy.
"Pala, I picked a lot of wild vegetables, haha, I can finally taste them." Holding a big bag of wild vegetables, Yan Fenghuo walked into the cave with a happy face.
As soon as he walked in, he could clearly smell the smell of gun oil and the smell of strangers.
A rifle was put against his head and he was forced out of the cave.
Under the sun, six unarmed soldiers of the Indo-Tibetan Special Border Force stared at him with expressionless faces.
These are the people who tried every possible means to rescue Para, and finally found it at the beginning of spring.
"OK, OK, whoever has the gun is the boss." Yan Fenghuo raised his hands without hesitation, with a look of helplessness on his face.
Parra walked out from the deepest part of the cave. She changed into a combat uniform and was also fully armed. The veil on her face changed into the previous special veil, and her eyes were full of viciousness.
Seeing Pala's appearance, Yan Fenghuo smiled bitterly. He knew that the relationship between the two people had changed again, from mutual needs and mutual dependence in the white space to mortal enemies again.
"We found it so quickly." Yan Fenghuo showed a bright smile to Parra, pointed to the wild vegetables scattered on the ground and said, "Can you let me eat these wild vegetables first? It has been half a year, eating meat every day is really annoying.
It’s so annoying.”
Parra's eyes were on the scattered wild vegetables, and then he stared at Yan Fenghuo, raising the Browning pistol that could achieve maximum rapid fire.
"Bang!"
The gunshot rang out, and a plume of blood splashed onto Yan Fenghuo's face, scalding hot.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!..."
Gunshots rang out rapidly, and several Indo-Tibetan Special Border Force soldiers with their backs to Pala were shot and fell down, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
Parra, who shot and killed, walked up to a soldier who was still alive and shot him in the head.
"Bang!"
His brain burst, and the soldier died with eyes wide open in confusion.
Parra, who killed six soldiers in the blink of an eye, put away his gun, squatted in front of Yan Fenghuo, carefully picked up the wild vegetables, and walked towards the cave.
Yan Fenghuo, whose face was covered in blood, took off the clothes and equipment of a soldier who was roughly the same size as himself, wiped the blood from his face and put it on. Then he dragged the bodies of the soldiers to the distant forest, dug a hole and buried them.
After Yan Fenghuo finished handling the body and returned to the cave, an alluring fragrance reached his nostrils: Parra had cooked a lot of broth with wild vegetables and bear meat. Not only had he cooked a lot of broth, but he had also put it there, waiting for him.
For his return.
This has been a habit for half a year. Every time Yan Fenghuo goes out, Pala will prepare a meal and wait for it. If Yan Fenghuo doesn't come back, Pala won't eat. It's like this every time.
Yan Fenghuo's bowl was full of green wild vegetables, while Parra's bowl contained only a few wild vegetables and more of bear meat. Here, wild vegetables are far more precious than bear meat.
Yan Fenghuo didn't say a word, and finished the wild vegetables in the bowl in several mouthfuls. When he had just finished eating, Parra gave him all the wild vegetables, and he ate the bear that had made him sick to his stomach after half a year.
Meat.
The meal was finished in silence between the two of them, and then their eyes met.
"They are all soldiers brought out by me." Parra broke the silence and said to Yan Fenghuo.
"Yeah." Yan Fenghuo nodded.
It was unimaginable for Yan Fenghuo to kill the soldiers he had trained with his own hands. Perhaps this was the most essential difference between them and Chinese soldiers. But he knew that Parra's behavior was entirely because of himself.
"Your life is finally given back to you." Parra sighed softly and said, "From now on, you and I will owe each other nothing."
"Okay!" Yan Fenghuo nodded.
The two fell into endless silence again. Yan Fenghuo lit a cigarette found on the body and watched Parra silently pack up everything they had used in the cave. He saw nostalgia in this woman's eyes...
A whole afternoon passed, and the two of them were preparing everything to leave. In fact, they didn't need to be so slow at all, but they were just so slow, as if they had a lot to sort out.
At night, the two of them sat by the bonfire and cuddled up together, enjoying the last night. They did not speak, no words, everything was in silence, enjoying this kind of night that they had spent countless times before.
"What are you doing when you go back?" Yan Fenghuo asked softly.
"Continue to do what you did before." Parra replied to Yan Fenghuo and asked: "What about you?"
Yan Fenghuo smiled, lit a cigarette and said, "Just like you, continue to do what you did before."
"We can all still find ourselves, right?" Parra asked.
"Yes, we can still find ourselves." Yan Fenghuo exhaled a puff of smoke, stood up and said, "I'll go and make it easier."
Walking into the forest in front of the cave, Yan Fenghuo looked up to the sky and took a deep breath to calm down the feelings welling up in his heart.
This is a terrible feeling, formed by terrible habits. He has a feeling of being reluctant to leave Para, when it is about to end.
"Ouch!!!..."
A shrill howl came from Yan Fenghuo's mouth. He ran wildly towards the top of the mountain in front of him. He rushed to the top in one breath and stood on the top of the mountain, breathing heavily.
When he looked into the distance, he suddenly noticed a group of figures running quickly.
Seeing this row of blurry figures, Yan Fenghuo immediately took out an infrared telescope for observation.
This is a Russian team, consisting of a total of twelve people, fully armed and with military dogs.
Seeing this group of Russian soldiers, Yan Fenghuo immediately ran down the mountain and rushed into the cave in one breath.
"Quickly, get out of here, the Russian military is here!" Yan Fenghuo shouted urgently at Parra.
It's okay for him to fall into the hands of the Russian military. If Parra falls into the hands of the Russian military, I'm afraid it won't be optimistic.
"Woof woof! Woof woof!..."
The barking of military dogs could be heard in the distance. The group of Russian soldiers moved very quickly and still went around the mountain in front to search here.
Yan Fenghuo pulled Parra out, stared into her eyes and said, "Run west, then south. When you see the Russian military, avoid it immediately. Do you understand?"
Staring into Yan Fenghuo's eyes, Parra nodded slightly and ran westward without hesitation.
Looking at Pala's leaving back, Yan Fenghuo showed a complicated smile: It's over, it's finally over...
