If You Don’t Go To Hell, Who Will?

Chapter 10: That horrible night

Views:

It is May Day now, and summer has not yet arrived. If you are in the urban area, it is difficult to encounter thunderstorms. Unexpectedly, we were awakened by the rumbling thunder here.

I have lived for nearly nineteen years, and I have never discovered that thunder can be so loud, and lightning can be so bright, that creepy...

The point is, the clattering thunder sounded to me as if it was just above our heads, and the lightning could strike at any time and burn me to the bone... It was horrible!

I buried my head in my sleeping bag, covered my ears, and tried to artificially reduce the loudness of the thunder, but it didn't work. What happened to Leigong and Dianmu's quarrel today? The sound is getting louder and louder, and it always seems to be close to my ears. , I was so frightened that my whole body tensed up and my head swelled.

Zhong Yuan was also woken up. He turned over and murmured, "Nature is going to show its power? What a beautiful weather."

abnormal!

I became more and more afraid, who knows if the next lightning bolt will strike me? Look at this battle, am I going to hand over my life here today? No, I haven't lived enough yet...

At this time, Zhong Yuan's voice came to mind again, and with the occasional lightning that was as bright as day, the atmosphere was as weird as it could be. Zhong Yuan said, "Wood, are you afraid of thunder?"

I tremblingly replied: "I am not afraid of thunder, but I am afraid of death."

Zhong Yuan chuckled and said in a low voice: "It's okay, even if you die, there are still so many people buried with you."

I wailed: "I don't want to die, I hope everyone lives well, no one wants to die..."

Zhong Yuan stretched out a hand and patted my shoulder lightly, "Don't worry, it's not so easy to die."

I ignored him, got out of the sleeping bag, turned on the small desk lamp, then picked up the backpack and started rummaging through things.

Zhong Yuan asked curiously: "What are you doing?"

Me: "Write a suicide note."

I dug out a brand new little book and a pen from my backpack. Fortunately, I brought everything with me this time.

Zhong Yuan also got out of the sleeping bag, he leaned over and said, "Do you really believe that you will die?"

I glanced at him and said meaningfully: "My child, you must be aware of dangers in life."

Zhong Yuan bent his fingers and tapped my head, "You also called the child? Come on, call 'Brother Zhong'."

Ugh... I glared at him, ignored him, and started to write a suicide note in a small notebook. Well, what should I write, if I am really dead, what information do I need to leave for the living

I tapped my chin with the tip of a ballpoint pen, and finally wrote seriously on the first page of the small book: Dad, I love you.

The brushwork is weak, revealing the struggle and sorrow of dying. I looked at those outrageously soft words, and suddenly felt sad.

No, am I really going to die? I haven't been filial to my dad yet...

Zhong Yuan suddenly snatched my little book and looked at it. I turned my head to stare at him, only to find that he was staring at me strangely.

Khan, he must be laughing at my ugly handwriting. Thinking of this in my heart, I became even angrier, so I snatched back the small book without hesitation, "If you want to write, I can lend you a piece of paper."

Zhong Yuan waved his hand, "I'm afraid that after you die, your suicide note will be missing, so I will do you a favor and prepare an oral will, in case it will be needed."

Although I doubt whether he really has such a good intention, it seems that what he said still has some truth.

Zhong Yuan said again: "Then, besides your father, do you have anything else to say to anyone else?"

I thought for a while and said, "Tell the three heartless people in our dormitory to praise me more at my funeral."

Zhong Yuan nodded, and asked again: "Is there any more?"

Me: "Say sorry to the teacher in the lab, and congratulate her." The boys in our class nicknamed me "The Lab Killer" because every time I do an experiment, I almost break something or mess with it. A broken instrument or something, and because of this, I almost ran out of ammunition and food with the little money I couldn't make ends meet.

Zhong Yuan: "What else?"

I thought about it, and said shyly, "Tell Lu Zijian that I adore him."

Zhong Yuan narrowed his eyes, "What else?"

"What else?" I tilted my head to the side for a while, then shook my head, "It's nothing, although I will die a heroic and tragic death, but I am very low-key."

Zhong Yuan: "Then you have nothing to say to me?"

I slapped my forehead, "Yeah, I almost forgot... Zhong Yuan, can I ask you something."

Zhong Yuan put on airs and nodded, "Let's talk."

I smiled and said, "Well, can you take a picture of your camera and burn it for me when I die? I..."

Zhong Yuan's eyes were not friendly: "Then you wait to die."

I:"… "

Can't meet such a small request? This man is really stingy.

I stopped talking to Zhong Yuan and began to study the content of the suicide note on my own. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that I had a lot to say, so I began to write quickly under the dim light.

Zhong Yuan said sarcastic words at the side: "You don't want to write an autobiography temporarily, do you?"

I didn't even bother to raise my head, so I replied angrily, "None of your business!"

Zhong Yuan said lazily: "There is no thunder now, are you sure you want to continue writing?"

I put down my pen, pricked up my ears and listened, Khan, are you really going to stop typing? At this time, it was very quiet outside the tent, the only sound was the sound of rustling raindrops, the domestic violence of Lei Gong and Dian Mu is over

I closed the notebook and let out a long breath, "It's okay, it's okay, I saved my life again."

Zhong Yuan said, "I forgot to tell you that the place we chose is windproof, lightningproof and floodproof, and our tent can also protect against lightning."

Me: "..." In other words, the fright I just had was unnecessary? All the suicide notes I wrote are useless

I suppressed the anger in my heart, "Why did you tell me now?"

Zhong Yuan replied with a smile: "I thought you were entertaining yourself by acting."

I:"… "

When I got up the next morning, the sky had cleared up, but the surrounding area was still wet and the air was fresh. We simply ate some breakfast and set off, this time the goal was the main peak.

Climbing a mountain is really hard work. I won’t say how tiring it is in the middle, I believe anyone who has climbed a mountain knows it. As for those who have never climbed a mountain, uh, everyone has climbed the steps, right? The altitude of our mountain is more than 1,700 meters, and the foot of the mountain is regarded as a plain. We started climbing from the middle of the mountain today. It is conservatively estimated that the vertical distance must be at least 600 meters upward. What is the concept of 600 meters? If 3 meters is considered as a floor, 600 meters is 200 floors. Yes, we have to climb 200 floors, starting from the first floor, and going up to the 201st floor, no elevators allowed... And, this is a conservative estimate.

But that's where the sense of accomplishment comes from. When we sweated profusely and climbed to the top of the mountain, the arrogance of "seeing all the mountains at a glance" surging in our hearts immediately made us feel that no matter how much sweat we sweat, it is worth it. What is the meaning of life? If you ask me at this time, I will definitely answer that the meaning of life is to conquer.

Of course, even though we were heroes, we were really miserable when we went down the mountain. It is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down the mountain. Here I deeply understand it. The way we went down the mountain was not to return to the original road, but to choose another road that was more difficult than the original road. The steps on this road are as if they were not paved, and they are very high. In some places, they are even as high as one meter. Fortunately, when I was at home, I liked to climb trees and jumped up and down all day long, so it’s okay to jump up and down at this time. Girls who are active need a boy to pull them over in these places. In addition, there are even more outrageous. In some places, the roads are completely like "there are no roads in this world, and roads are formed when there are more people walking." Fortunately, Zhong Yuan behind me helped me in time. Although Zhong Yuan pissed me off last night, because he helped me today, I am too embarrassed to get angry with him.

After walking for a while, we came to a more dangerous place on the way down the mountain. The reason why it is dangerous is that not only are the steps useless, the slope is steep, there are rocks and sand, and it is very narrow. If two people meet each other on this road, one of them has to lean on the mountain wall to make room for the other. Going alone - it's such a narrow road.

A group of us walked slowly against the mountain wall, for fear of stepping on the air and falling. When I was walking down a landslide, a rock as a fulcrum under my feet suddenly became loose. I staggered instinctively, and then my other foot stepped into the air and stepped towards the edge of the cliff. I danced in panic, trying to maintain my balance, but the road under my feet was so slippery that I was about to fall to the cliff outside the road...

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Zhong Yuan grabbed my arm and pulled me back.

But I was even more depressed. Because when I was dancing with hands and feet just now, the camera accidentally dropped my hand, and now I am back, but it fell down...

I stared at the direction where the camera disappeared, and said in a voice: "Picture, camera..."
