Baimadake is located between Shinshu and Etchu.Looking from the top of Mt. Baima at the northern end, the Shinshu side is a cliff, and the Etchu side is a barren mountain ridge formed by the accumulation of cracked rocks.About 30 minutes walk north from here, there is a sheltered mountain called "Three Kingdoms".As the name suggests, this is the junction of the three counties of Nagano, Toyama and Niigata. The peaks of Houlishan are divided into two mountain ranges in a Y shape from here.Here, along the main vein extending to the north, you can see the mountain range branching from the Three Kingdoms to the northeast, connected with Korenka Mountain, Norikura Mountain (not Norikura Mountain in the south), Fubuki Mountain, and Iwasuge Mountain.

One day, a man and a woman set off from Mount Norikura, passing through Tengugahara, and went on a ski trip to the north in the direction commonly known as "Kazebuki Ridge". The two of them left Tokyo on the night bus the day before yesterday, and came to the Umeike Yamanaka Hotel yesterday from Hakuba Oike Station on the Osito Line. That afternoon, they practiced skiing on the steep slope mountain near the hotel. Today, the long-awaited "wind blowing" began. ski trip. The whole skiing route is arranged as follows: from Plum Pond to Tengugahara, then from Tenguhara to Fubuki Mountain, then from Meiba on the west side of Iwasugi Mountain to the north, passing through the northwest direction between Iwasugi Mountain and Shizukidake Arriving at Pingyan Station on the Dasi Line connected with the forest road.

The sliding distance is about 20 kilometers, and the time required including rest on the way is about 6 to 7 hours.The quality of the snow here is good, and it is exciting to have a bird's-eye view of the large slopes of the mountains such as Asahidake and Sesakuradake to the north of Hakubadake and the Sea of ​​Japan while descending quickly.Among the ski routes in this area, it is a unique and promising route. However, there are no signposts on the way. Once there is bad weather, the winter monsoon blowing from the Sea of ​​Japan will hit unscrupulously and fiercely. It is unimaginable to encounter bad weather in this area.Therefore, those who are required to ski here must have experience in winter mountaineering.Arguably, this is more important than skiing technique.To ski here, you must have a guide to lead the way, and your skills must also be superb.

These two men had no guides, but they seemed to be quite confident.The two used techniques such as full brake turns and sharp turns to speed on the snow where no one had ever walked.It seems that the skills of the two of them are far beyond that of ordinary players on the ski practice ground. The weather is fine today. In the north in winter, the sky is as clear as blue and cloudless.When the gaze suddenly turns from the glistening snow field to the blue sky, the strong contrast will give people the illusion of a night sky. Even wearing sunglasses, the strong light is still dazzling.They set foot on the journey leisurely and contentedly.They thought they had enough time, so they went from Tenguhara, the starting point of the trip, to the top of Mount Norikura.This sense of time adequacy also comes from their self-confidence.

Standing on the top of Mount Norikura, you can clearly see the peak of Mt. Fuki at an altitude of 1944 meters. Naturally, you don’t have to worry about getting lost.It took them less than two hours to get here from Mount Norikura. There was still more than enough time, and the sky was still cloudless. "This place makes me appreciate the fun of skiing again!" said the woman with a flushed face.They are resting and will start their real ski trip soon.It was just a small test of skill. The woman had no qualms about the ski touring route.For her, her companion is the most trustworthy guide, as long as she can follow him and display the skills she has learned in the practice field.Skiing here is more comfortable than on the driving range, which is as beautiful as Ginza. For some reason, she suddenly feels that her skiing skills have improved a lot.This excited her.

"Yes, because it's the route I chose." The man said proudly seeing the joy of his female partner. "It really deserves our engagement trip!" The woman blushed.It wasn't the excitement of a pleasant ski trip, but the memory of her undisclosed behavior the night before.Last night at the hotel, she was with him for the first time beyond their relationship. They have been learning to ski for some years, and they met on the ski resort.As the number of meetings on the practice field increased, the two developed their relationship to frequent dates in Tokyo, and finally they decided to get married.

Just then, the man invites the woman on a ski trip. The woman's skiing skills are quite high on the driving range, but this is the first time for a real ski trip.She came with trepidation.Now the inner panic was drowned out by the trust in his fellow rider and the pleasure of spending a few good nights with him. Going out on a first-ever ski trip with the man you love is alluring.Although skiing on the driving range is also considered skiing, but because of the help of lifts and ropeways there, there are very few times when you can ski with your own strength, and there is no real test.

She longed to leave the driving range, which was nothing more than a competition of finery and tricks.She yearns to walk through the birch forest, cross the white tree hangings, and leave her own footprints on the vast untrodden snowfield. She had long dreamed of a ski trip, but never found the right companion.Before this, her skiing was carried out on the crowded driving range. She has mastered certain skiing skills, so she really wants to go on a ski trip, and at this moment, her lover sends her an invitation.In honor of the trip, the two exchanged gifts last night.The man's gift was a snowboard, and the woman's gift was a mountaineering nylon rope.The woman is now using the skis given to her by the man for this unprecedented ski trip.

If it is the first time to receive a gift, and it is the first time to set foot on this land, then it is also the first time to feel shy when being approached by a man for the first time last night.These made her seem to have entered a new realm.They plan to officially announce their marriage after the trip. She happily traveled with the man, but she didn't know what the travel route he chose was.The man didn't feel any danger either. He had been here several times and was very familiar with the terrain. The only thing he was worried about was the weather, but the weather forecast said that the weather would be fine these days.

The man believes that in order to imprint his image deeply on the woman's heart, he must let her see his shrewdness.For this purpose, he took the woman out on a journey. Without a word, he led the woman to a place that was difficult for the unskilled to travel.He wanted to establish a tall image in the eyes of women against the backdrop of this magnificent natural landscape. He got his wish.Ever since the girl was brought here on a veritable ski trip, one could often hear her exclaiming, "That's great!", "That's great!", etc.Her eyes were full of approval for her companion.

They booked a room at a better hotel at the foot of the mountain, where they planned to spend the night.Men are used to the natural environment.Since he has more experience and is older than the woman, what he thinks of is extremely practical.He was thinking that last night the woman accepted his request half-heartedly, and she might take the initiative tonight. "Hey, we are about to reach the center of this trip, come on!" The man finished smoking a cigarette and stood up. The sudden change in the weather was unbelievable. The sky was still clear just now, but after a gust of wind blew, snow clouds rolled in. In an instant, the two of them were surrounded by the harsh weather environment, as if they had entered another world. The snowfields, mountains, and forests that greeted them with gentle smiles just now roared fiercely with the wind and snow.Although the man has been here several times, he is also stunned now.What shocked him was not so much the sudden change of the weather as the sudden change of nature. If it is in the southern part of the Alps, such as Gundake and Mount Hodaka, there are valleys around which can buffer the monsoon.After spotting the signs of changing weather, there is still time to hide.In the northern part of the Alps, the severe weather caused by the monsoons hits the mountains directly and quickly, leaving nowhere for those who stay there to hide. "Well, don't leave me!" He encouraged his female companion, huddled in the vortex of the wind.No matter how strong the wind is, you have to move forward, and you can't always stop in one place in the sharp drop in temperature. This is no longer the world of ski lovers.In the northern Alps in severe winter, only experienced professional climbers are allowed to exist armed with ice sticks, crampons and other equipment. The strong wind was blowing relentlessly, rolling up snowflakes, covering the view, and Mount Iwasuga on the right was also hidden in the snow and fog, and snow blocks hit the face from time to time. "Hold on! We'll be there soon!" The man encouraged his female partner who was about to cry behind him, but he was actually encouraging himself.The sense of superiority he had just now had gone beyond the clouds. They were unable to fight against the violent snowstorm, so they could only squeeze their bodies against the roar of the strong wind and slide desperately in the snow and fog. Suddenly the woman screamed.She fell because of the uneven ground.At this moment, the worst thing happened: she rolled over to the ground. Although she was not injured, the ski on her right foot fell off when she fell to the ground. In order to prevent injury when falling, the skis have a protective clamp so that in the event of a slip, the shoe can separate from the skis with a strong forward momentum.Separation is separation, but the snowboard still needs to be in contact with the shoe so that it does not slip.To do this, a thin strap with studs at both ends is used to connect the skis to the shoes. However, after her skis left the shoes, they slid on the snow.It turned out that the studs on the skis given to her by the man fell off, and the skis slid straight into the deep valley, as if directed by its own will. In an instant, a puff of snow fog rose from the valley, and the skis disappeared without a trace.The two of them stared blankly without any reaction.Due to the suddenness of the incident, they did not realize the seriousness of the situation they were facing for a while. "Oops!" It was the man who woke up first, maybe it was the freezing temperature that brought him back to normal.It is said that he has returned to normal, but in fact it is just that he first realized the seriousness of the situation, not that he has considered any good countermeasures. "What should I do?" He asked the woman, how would the woman answer him?Suddenly the woman burst into tears.What's the use of crying!The skis fell into a deep valley, and they couldn't slide down such a steep slope with their own skills. Even if they went down, they didn't know where the skis were, and how to find them? Sliding with a woman on your back?That is impossible both physically and technically.Two people instead of walking?It is impossible to advance in this deep snow-covered mountain.The wind, snow and cold mercilessly invaded the two helpless people, and quickly took away the heat from their bodies. Obviously, if it takes time like this, both of them will freeze to death in a short time, and there is only one way to survive.The man made a decisive decision and said ruthlessly: "You wait here, I'll call the ambulance team, and I'll be right back." "Then... you left me here alone?" "Slowly, both of them will freeze to death. I'll be right back, you stay here and don't move anywhere." "Please, don't go!" The woman screamed with all her might, at this time the man had already started to slide away, the woman hurriedly chased after her, but she was stuck in the waist-deep snow and couldn't move. The man ignored the call of his female partner, and slid into the distance in a straight-down posture. However, when the man led the ambulance team back to the scene, the woman had already frozen to death. About half a year after the previous incident, one night, the "Imperial Hotel" in central Tokyo caught fire.The Empire Hotel is a bit taller than other super high-rise buildings, with 30 floors above the ground alone. The fire had started from the kitchen on the ground floor, and it was coming as fast as if it had come from a flamethrower.The fire spread at an astonishing speed, and after a while, it rushed from the stairways to the upper floors like a torrent of high tide. The 3rd to 28th floors of the Imperial Hotel are all guest rooms, with about 1,000 rooms.The occupancy rate on that day was 90%, that is to say, about 900 rooms were occupied by passengers, and the number was around 1,300, most of whom were newlyweds, because it was an auspicious day. Newlyweds come here to celebrate their wedding night after a wedding ceremony in a hotel or in the city.Such a memorable night, celebrating the beginning of a new life, was suddenly enveloped by cries for help, full of hellish terror.The fire brigade came after hearing the news, but the fire fighting ladder could only reach the 10th floor. Luxurious double rooms for newlyweds are concentrated on the 20th floor or above.The higher the floor, the faster the fire and smoke will spread.When the newlyweds woke up from their sweet dreams and realized that they were in danger, the fire and smoke had blocked their retreat. People flocked to the corridor in a panic, and from time to time some people were knocked down by poisonous fumes.Although all the ceilings of the Imperial Hotel are made of high-pressure plates for fire prevention, and refractory materials are used in places that can be used as shelters such as corridors and stairs, these materials cannot stop the futons and pillows made of chemical fibers from burning. Diffusion of large quantities of toxic gases. There is a smoke extraction device on the stairs, which could have taken refuge here, but it is integrated with the entire building and it is difficult to function.When the toxic fumes from burning petrochemicals get into the eyes, people will lose their direction; if they get into the lungs, people will lose the ability to move.At present, there is no device that can completely remove the poisonous gas. Even if new building materials can be used when building a hotel, it is difficult to completely eliminate petrochemical products or plastic products from modern life. Sprinklers are installed in each room of the Empire Hotel.When the indoor temperature exceeds the specified value, the sprinkler will automatically release water to spray.But it seems powerless in the face of smoke.Moreover, the amount of water sprinkled by the sprinkler can only be extinguished when it is proportional to the fire.That is to say, when the fire is too big, the trickle sprayed by the sprinkler will be quickly dried by the flames. The windows are airtight and cannot be opened.The airtight room, which was originally built to prevent passengers from committing suicide or falling, has now become a smoke chamber. If you go to the corridor, you will be easily poisoned, and if you stay in the house, you will be suffocated to death by the fire.The tenants were in a dilemma, and there was chaos. To make matters worse, the newly built hotel has not yet trained its staff to deal with the unexpected.After the fire broke out, instead of evacuating the guests to a safe place, the waiters ran desperately to find a way out for themselves. Most of the waiters are assigned to work at the counter or banquet hall, but few waiters are assigned to the key guest room departments.It can be said that this is a loophole in the management of the Empire Hotel. At night, the waiters on duty are concentrated in the central service desk on the 10th, 15th, 20th, and 25th floors, and no one takes care of other floors at all.Although this is due to lack of manpower or out of consideration for saving wages, since it is a commercial hotel for people to live in, it is too shameful that there is no waiter at the room service desk at night. Although there was no one to guide them, the passengers who came near the emergency stairs found a way to go up.They yelled, "Go! Go up!" During the run, some people were knocked down by the poisonous smoke, and others saw it and didn't bother to help them.The poisonous smoke is spreading too fast, and it will be my turn after a while. As soon as the smoke reached the stairs, it was sucked up immediately as if it had reached the mouth of a chimney, and its rising speed was much faster than a person's running speed. The winner of the race against the smoke finally has a chance of survival, although this victory may be temporary. On the roof terrace there is a tower-like structure with air conditioners and water tanks inside, surrounded by a roof garden.The fleeing passengers managed to climb here. Most of these tourists ran out from the bed, some were wearing hotel pajamas, and some were almost naked. The roof platform is not a safe place of refuge. The black smoke rising from below soon fills the platform, and people have no way to escape.The 30-story building is 120 meters high, and looking down from the edge of the platform wall is dizzying. Due to the rise of popular entertainment and tourism and the skyrocketing of land prices, the floor space of super high-rise hotels is forced to be reduced as much as possible.Therefore, they all try their best to develop to high altitudes, trying to create multi-layered spaces on a limited plane. Passengers living on different floors were ruthlessly driven by the fire and smoke, and swarmed to the limited open space on the roof terrace. The more the smoke, the more people came here. "It's suffocating!" "Help!" Although they knew there was no escape, they still struggled desperately to jump to the neighboring buildings, but none of them were as high as the Imperial Hotel. The firefighters watched helplessly the people desperately calling for help on the roof, anxious and unable to think of a way. The hotel requested the Air Self-Defense Force to come to rescue, and the Self-Defense Force sent a helicopter, but there was no landing field on the platform, and the plane could not land.In fact, even if there is a landing field, the plane cannot land because the small platform is crowded with people.At this time, if the helicopter pilot is a little negligent, either the rotor will knock down the people who are rushing over, or the aircraft itself will be dragged off by the people who have lost their minds. The ambulance personnel decided to hang the ambulance ladder from the cabin, and let the passengers drag the ladder to the ground with the plane.This is of course very dangerous. It takes about 40 to 50 seconds for the helicopter to reach the ground from the top of the building.During this period of time, if the refugee's arm strength can bear his own weight, he can be rescued. If he can't support it, he will fall to the ground and be smashed to pieces.A man with a strong arm may turn the corner. The ambulance team made a decisive decision and decided to use this method.Although it is dangerous to do so, it is better to put all your eggs in one basket than to see death on the spot. Anyway, there is no good solution other than this. Helicopters lowered emergency ladders and nets and hovered over the hotel shrouded in black smoke. People scrambling around to find a safe place on the platform scrambled to grab the ambulance ladder, and both the ambulance personnel and the rescued people exerted their entire lives. The ladder was full of people, and the plane flew into the air, and people kept falling from the ladder on the way.Is it lack of arm strength?Maybe, but it could also be a result of panic when encountering such an extraordinary situation for the first time.Forty or fifty seconds was short, but those who were dragging the ladder were swung dizzily in the air, their arms might not be exhausted yet, fear and panic made them let go of their hands. The ambulance crew on the plane could do nothing for the person who let go.Those who fell from the sky like dead leaves in autumn and fell to the ground were bloody and bloody, just like overripe tomatoes being thrown to the ground, their appearance was horrible. The firefighters, ambulance crews and countless onlookers surrounding the hotel were all dumbfounded at the terrible scene of the fire. Among those who fell from the plane was a young woman.Of course, the vast majority of those who fell were women, but she was not newly married. That night, she agreed to her lover's request and stayed in this hotel together.After spending the first half of the night together, they hugged each other tightly and fell asleep.It was the fireworks that woke them up from the gentle countryside. They woke up earlier and had time to get dressed, but there was only one way of escape—upward. After people were driven to the platform, the platform was like a scorching pot bottom, where they were tortured and smoked, but there was no way out. As she followed her lover in a desperate search for a way out, there was a roar of propellers and a throbbing of the air overhead—the helicopter was coming. What looked like a ladder of rope was suspended from the plane, and her lover climbed up immediately.When he grabbed the ladder, the plane was about to fly up, and only then did she realize that the plane was going to take her lover away. "Wait!" she yelled, grabbing her lover's feet dangling before her eyes.The plane continued to fly upwards, and a man and a woman hanging from the ladder hung in the air like beads on a thread. "Let go! Let go!" The man was frightened.It is enough to support one's own weight alone, but how can one add another's weight.When the man shouted, the plane had left the platform and was flying at an altitude of more than 100 meters.Letting the woman let go now is tantamount to forcing her to die. "No! I can't take it anymore, let go!" The man only thought about himself at the moment. The plane was approaching the ground as fast as it could, but the man's hands were numb under the weight of two people faster than that. He felt that there was no hope of sticking to the ground in the current state.The more desperate he is, the more he should realize that letting the woman let go at this time is tantamount to forcing her to die, but he didn't think about it that way. "Let go, please let go!" The man's horrific screams were drowned in the drone of the plane, but the woman didn't hear it.Even if she heard it, she would not let go.She didn't want to save her own life, but to be with her lover, if she let go, the lover would fly away.So with all her might, she clung to her lover's feet. "If you don't let go, I will..." The man made up his mind, no, in fact, the instinctive action was reflected in his mind before the determination, his hand was no longer easy to use, and he was not allowed to hesitate for a moment. It happened that the woman's hand was only holding his right foot, and his left foot was still free, so he used his left foot to kick his female partner's wrist. The woman turned pale with fright, but the most powerful protector kicked her wrist in an attempt to shake her off. "What are you doing!?" She raised her face and wanted to ask him, but at this moment, the man kicked her face fiercely. At this time, there were tens of meters from the ground, and the woman let go of her hand with a scream, as if she couldn't catch it by herself, and fell straight down. Many people see a man fall from the sky, but they don't see that the man kicked the woman's hand to save himself.Even if it was a man or a woman who fell, it was not known until it hit the ground.She was not the only one who fell, but one after another like fallen leaves. As one of those who fell, she was the most pitiful.She gave everything she had to her lover, but he kicked her down from a height of tens of meters for his own life. One day in late autumn of the same year, a small car set off from Hirayu Onsen in the Northern Alps, and drove hard on the alpine road leading to Mount Norikura. The road was rough and the weather turned bad again, as if they were deliberately cooperating with each other.In Pingtang, there were light clouds floating in the sky, but now thick dark clouds cover the top of the mountain, and the scenery is gloomy.The destination, Mount Norikura, was covered with dark clouds, and the sky and earth were dark and suffocating. During the peak tourist season in summer, there are many vehicles in this area.It's the off-season now, and the place is lonely, except for this small car that is speeding towards Mt. Norikura in bad weather. It is a moving object. A young man and a woman sat in the car.They rented a car from Tokyo to Kamikochi and stayed in Nakayu last night.When they got up in the morning, they saw that the weather seemed to be fine, so they prepared to climb Mt. Norikura in late autumn as planned. From Nakayu Onsen to Mount Norikura, you have to go through Anfangling and Hepingyu Hot Springs.The slope between Zhongtang and Anfangling was steep and sharp, but they passed it smoothly.The road from Anfangling to Pingtang is downhill, the road is flat and has two lanes, which is even more difficult for drivers (man) who have greatly enhanced their self-confidence because they have overcome difficulties.They started from Zhongtang, crossed Anfang Ridge, and arrived in Pingtang safely. It took about an hour from Nakayu to Hirayu. At this time, the driver was full of energy, so he drove to Mount Norikura in one go. "When we arrive at the mountaintop resting place, let's have a good lunch." The man said while holding the steering wheel.His companion nodded absently, sleepily. From Zhongtang to Pingtang, the road is difficult enough, and from Pingtang onwards the road is even worse.This section of the road is almost all single-lane, and it is all S-shaped.It was a stroke of luck for the driver not to bump into an oncoming car.If he encounters a large car here, according to his skills, coupled with the rough road, it is really dangerous.He chose this car-free season to travel, probably because of this factor. After 30 minutes, they came to Pingtang Ridge, where the ordinary road intersects with the alpine road, and the road becomes wider enough for two cars to run in parallel. The driver was slightly relieved.As the height increases, the shrub belt on the mountain becomes a climbing pine belt.The dense clouds hanging over the head diffused downwards, turned into fog, and blocked the line of sight.In fact, this is not because the Miyun has lowered, but because the car is climbing higher and higher. When the weather is clear, you can see the Northern Alps like a rocky attic in the distance centered on Mt. But now everything is covered by thick clouds, no matter which direction you look, you can't see the bright scenery.Moreover, Dashan vented his anger on this smart car that intruded into its territory during the off-season.Ferocity replaced sprightly. The clouds became thicker and lower, and the water droplets floating in the mist condensed due to the sharp drop in temperature, so the rain and snow began to fall. "Hey, doesn't it matter?" The woman who had been sitting in the assistant's seat huddled in silence finally couldn't help it.There was an incomparably desolate landscape ahead of the journey, and she could no longer suppress her worries. "It doesn't matter what? What's the matter?" The man pretended to be calm and asked in a nonchalant tone. "The weather is so bad, and there is no second car but us." "Ah, so that's what you're talking about. Doesn't that just mean that this mountain belongs to us only! You're in a big mountain, do you still want to experience the traffic jam in the city?" "But... there are only the two of us here, if we get lost or something, it will be bad." "You are really worrying about it. It doesn't matter. There is only one road from here to the top of the mountain. You can't get lost if you want to!" "Then is the tourist rest house on the mountain still open?" "Of course, tourists will not disappear!" "Well, but..." The woman still frowned worriedly. "So, what do you say?" "In this kind of weather, we can't see anything even if we go up, right? Hey, shall we go back?" "Don't talk about these useless things, since we're here, we'd better drive up fast. Hey, we're almost there, and we'll be able to drink the hot coffee from the hotel right away." The man smiled at his girlfriend's worry, Continue to operate the steering wheel. Originally, the heater in the car could adjust the temperature, but the temperature outside was so low that it seemed to swallow up the heat.The further we went, the heavier the rain and snow, and the wipers didn't work.The man wiped the windshield several times, and the visibility has been extremely reduced. The woman gritted her teeth and endured the severe pain in her lower abdomen.She had her period this morning.According to her calculations, it should be a few days later, so she felt at ease driving with the man.Still, she had made some preparations, but she hadn't expected it to come so early.She thought that it must have been stimulated by the excessively agitated behavior with her lover last night, which made it abnormal. But now, the pain she felt was much worse than ever before, as if a knife was twisting in her belly, and even leaning on the seat didn't relieve it in the slightest. Usually, although it hurts every time, it is still tolerable. The pain is not this kind of cramping, but a dull pain in the whole lower abdomen.Now in addition to the dull pain, there is also severe pain. "It must have been caused by what happened last night." The woman bit her lip and thought.She had allowed this man to possess her for the first time last night.It was proof that she gave him her love, and if she had no intention of giving it, she would not have traveled. The first time she was caressed by a man, for a virgin like her, she felt nothing but pain, but the pain was much lighter than the current one. Moreover, at the time of her first union with a man, the joy and excitement had made her dizzy, and she didn't care about the pain. She only felt that she had dedicated the most precious part to her dear one. It was the first time in her life that she had done something shameful, but then the shame melted into the excitement.But now, there is no excitement, only pain, and it is a duet of dull pain and severe pain. The only man who could help her was engrossed in driving.The field is even more desolate, and the sleet does not know when it will completely turn into snow.The snow turned into a blizzard at once, and the wipers creaked.Although snow chains are prepared in advance, it is a pity that this anxious driver will not install them. "Bastard!" the man cursed.Suddenly, the engine went out, and he hurriedly pressed the starter switch, but it couldn't start.He became more and more anxious and kept pressing. The stalled engine cooled down sharply in the blizzard, and it couldn't be started anyway. "Is there a breakdown?" The woman asked with pain.When the car breaks down in this kind of place, people are simply helpless.Although the surrounding environment and bad weather caused a lot of trouble, what was more serious was that the woman's physical condition prevented her from walking. "It's nothing serious, I'll go and have a look." The man replied pretending to be calm.He jumped out of the car and into the biting cold.He opened the hood of the engine and looked, but he didn't know what to do.He can only drive a car and knows very little about the structure of a car.Although he learned a little bit when he got his driver's license, because he had no practical experience, he had no way to deal with it when the car broke down. It would be reckless to travel to Japan's famous big mountains with such a low level of driving.Normally, when the car breaks down, just hang up the phone, and the repair car will come immediately, but where can I call the repair car at this time? When the engine suddenly shuts down without any warning and fails to start, it should be considered that this may be a problem with the electrical system.But he didn't know how to check the electrical system, he just looked at the complicated engine in a daze in panic and despair. Rental cars are different from private cars. Since anyone can rent and drive them, they are naturally poorly maintained.Ordinarily, this kind of place is not just a taxi.He looked at the engine, just to put on a show for the woman, but the "show" didn't last for a while. The man was drenched in the cold, he got into the car, pretending to be calm and said: "The car broke down, and it can't be fixed immediately, but you don't have to be afraid, since you are here, you are not far from the top of the mountain. It doesn't matter if you walk around." "Go!?" The woman opened her eyes wide in despair.Her lower abdomen hurt even more, and she couldn't even sit still.In this case, let alone walking in a snowstorm, even thinking about it would make her shudder. "I, I can't go at all." "Just 10 to 20 minutes, come, come with me, you'll freeze to death if you stay here!" "No, I can't last a minute. Please, don't leave me!" "Don't be disobedient, it's nothing special to walk a little way." "I'll wait for you in the car." "What are you talking about! The heater has been turned off, can you stay here? Come, come with me." The man dragged the woman off the seat regardless of the situation, and carried the With her arm, she walked towards the top of the mountain.The woman had no choice but to endure the pain and struggle to walk. But 10 minutes passed, and 20 minutes passed, and the mountaintop hotel that the man mentioned was still invisible. The two of them were covered in snow and became snowmen. "No, I, I can't even take a step." The woman finally fell on the snow. "Be strong, we'll be there soon." The man patted his female partner on the face to encourage her.But the woman's mental and physical strength has been exhausted, no matter how much the man encourages and persuades her, she doesn't want to stand up anymore. Climb the mountain with a woman on your back, men don't have the physical strength; let's go back to the parking place, and feel that it's a pity to walk so far.It must be not far from the top of the mountain.The man finally made up his mind.He dragged her to a slightly sheltered depression beside the road, and whispered in her ear: "Well, don't move here, I'll go to the hotel on the mountain and bring the ambulance team here immediately, ah!" The woman seemed to nod slightly, but I don't know if she understood the meaning of what the man said.The man left the woman alone and left. It was already two hours after he arrived at the mountain hotel. He totally failed to estimate the difference between driving and walking. Walking is already slower than driving, and even slower in a snowstorm. By the time the ambulance team arrived at the scene, the woman had frozen to death.According to the requirements of the family members of the deceased, an autopsy was performed on the body, and only then did I know that she was suffering from acute appendicitis.
