Chapter 621 Stepping on Your Shoulders

Kisa was transfixed for a second and then said with an

awkward expression, “Why are you talking about that all of a sudden? You can quit if you like. I don’t care, and I don’t want to care.”

Gilbert suddenly stopped talking and just smoked in silence. Smoke lingered around, and the side of his face

looked a little sad.

Kisa wrung her fingers and said softly, “Smoking too

much is not good. It is bad for your health and the people around you. If you can quit, then quit it. It is also for your own good.”

Gilbert just smiled and said nothing. Kisa pursed her lips and accompanied him in silence. She felt like he took

forever to smoke this cigarette, especially in this silent atmosphere. After a long while, he finally finished the cigarette and tossed the cigarette butt into the fire with

the flick of his fingers. He then put his hands on his

knees, looking worried, as if something was on his mind. Kisa felt he was not in a good mood, so she kept quiet.

Gilbert kept his head low in silence for a long moment before he smacked his knees and got to his feet. “Well, it

is time to send you up.”

Kisa looked at him with surprise. “Send me up? Aren’t we going up together?”

“It is us going up together, but we have to do it one by one. You go up first.” Gilbert’s smile looked natural.

Kisa looked at him for a long while but could not tell what was wrong. Gilbert looked up at the cave opening and then bent down to move the largest piece of stone and positioned it below the lowest side of the cave opening. He then stacked the other three stones in turn on the largest stone.

Kisa watched quietly and in puzzlement. She could not help but ask, “These four stones are only one meter high when being stacked together. Even if you stand up there, you can’t reach the edge of the opening, let alone me. This method does not work, does it?”

“If you step on my shoulders, then it will be high enough to reach that cave opening.”

“Huh?” Kisa looked at him in shock. “Stepping on your shoulders?”

“Yeah.” Gilbert put the lighter into her pocket and

whispered to her, “When you get up there, go back in the

direction you rolled down. Try to get to a place where there is a signal before dark. If you run into a blizzard, find a cave to take shelter in and find some firewood to keep warm.” He zipped up her down jacket and then put the hood on her. He rubbed her cold hands and said in a deep voice, “Be careful on the way. Your foot has yet to heal, so find a thicker branch as a walking stick when you go up there to avoid slipping and falling, and—”

“Gilbert…” Kisa could not help but interrupt him. At first, she was quite happy to be finally leaving the cave, but when she heard him say what seemed to be his last

words, she was worried and in a panic again. ‘No, no, no…

I

She shook her head vigorously. ‘He is not injured, at most is a little hungry. How will he die?‘ She did not dare to think but asked him anxiously, “If I go up first, how do you go up later? There are no more other stones in this

cave.”

“You are silly.” Gilbert pinched her face in amusement. ” When you get up there, find some vines and pull me up.”

He made it seem like it was easy, but Kisa felt it was not. First, she did not know where to find vines in this freezing weather. Second, he was much bigger while she was petite; she could not pull him up herself.

Kisa was not comfortable with that idea, so she said, ”

Why don’t you go up first, and then it will be easier for

you to find the vines to pull me up?”
