Arctic survival, starting in hell at minus fifty degrees Celsius

During his stay, Sun Chengwu forced himself to eat as usual every day, and when he had nothing to do, he would go out to see the scenes of Li Mu's former subordinates helping the Hadza people.

He discovered that these people had integrated into the Hadza tribe, and the Hadza chieftain hadn't treated them badly; at least they had food and lodging, and could eat meat every meal, which was much better than following him.

As darkness fell and work ended, the group wiped their sweat and walked back home.

After they stopped working, their sweat quickly froze, and a thick layer of frost covered their eyebrows, beards, and hair.

At this moment, someone noticed Sun Chengwu.

The middle-aged man was taken aback when he saw him. He didn't want to pay attention to him at first, but then he thought about the good life he was living now, so he hesitated and greeted Sun Chengwu, awkwardly calling out, "Hey, boss."

Sun Chengwu nodded and asked with a smile, "How's the accommodation?"

Seeing Sun Chengwu's smiling face, the middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief and walked over to Sun Chengwu, hesitating whether to sit down.

Sun Chengwu said, "Don't be shy, we're all friends."

The word "friend" lessened his resentment towards Sun Chengwu considerably.

He sat down, let out a long sigh, and said, "That's good. I thought you were going to sell us into slavery, but it turns out you've given us a chance to live."

Looking back now, I wonder what kind of life we ​​were living back then.

Now, people work at sunrise and rest at sunset, and life has become peaceful.

I just miss my wife a little. She couldn't hold on, and she's still lying in the snow. I wonder if she's cold...

As the man spoke, he began to wipe away tears. "I want to go back to see her, but I've forgotten where she is."

We also have a daughter, who didn't survive the plane crash...

He wiped away two more tears. "Actually, sometimes I wanted to give up, but then I thought about my parents and her parents waiting for us to come back."

No matter what, we have to get the message back; someone has to take care of the elderly in both families.

I used to complain that it was exhausting to support two sets of elderly parents and a family all by myself.

But looking back now, I feel so happy to have all my family members by my side.

Sun Chengwu patted his arm and said, "Well done."

The man and Sun Chengwu talked a lot, including about when he ate meat against his conscience, because at that time he was also trying to survive.

He would do anything to survive.

Sun Chengwu understood him very well.

When he was about to die, Sun Chengwu had the same thought in his mind: as long as he could live, he could abandon morality and bottom line.

Although saying these things now might seem a bit like "let them eat cake," Sun Chengwu realized after sticking to his bottom line that some things are more important to persist in, especially in dire situations.

Otherwise, people wouldn't be like people anymore.

Sun Chengwu thought for a long time before speaking, "Actually, I had the same thought as you at first, but if the people around you have all eaten, can you still trust them with your back?"

Do you ever think that if he died, you could finally have enough to eat?

Or if you are in danger, will he save you?

Because you're dead, he'll be able to eat his fill.

Even worse, if you haven't eaten your fill in a long time, wouldn't someone risk their life and accidentally kill their companion?

He faces moral condemnation, while you are the one who gets eaten.

besides……"

These words stunned the man, as if he had been struck by lightning.

He trembled all over, covered his face, and said painfully, "Yes, I was very scared during that time. I didn't even dare to sleep with my back to people."

Every time there's the slightest disturbance, I have to open my eyes to see if they think I'm dead.

I'm terrified that I'll wake up on the barbecue grill...

The man, his true feelings revealed, confessed, "I was wrong, I shouldn't have eaten meat."

Sun Chengwu shook his head. "It's only natural to occasionally cross moral boundaries in order to survive. No one can remain calm under the fear of death."

Your mistake isn't eating meat, it's that you can accept eating meat with a clear conscience.

You might not even do anything, just stand there and wait for your companions to die so that you can have enough food to survive.

This mindset will make you like a venomous insect, devouring one another until only one person is left.

What will the last person eat?

Or do you think that as long as you endure for a while, you will be rescued?

"If you are rescued, do you think you can live a normal life after you go back home, given all the meat you've eaten?"

The man finally understood why Sun Chengwu disliked them so much.

Sun Chengwu was disappointed in his son's lack of progress.

I hate their slow death, I hate their complacency.

Upon hearing Sun Chengwu's words, the man breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and said, "Boss, thank you. You've been very kind to us."

Without you, I should be dead by now.

When you abandoned us, I hated you and cursed you.

sorry."

The man stood up and bowed to Sun Chengwu.

Sun Chengwu accepted the gift; it was something he deserved.

He nodded. "I hope we can all be saved."

After the man left, Sun Chengwu got up and stomped his legs on the ground a few times before slowly regaining some feeling.

He went to Ollie's house. Because of his relationship with Ollie, Ollie's family treated him very well, like their own son. This made Sun Chengwu feel the long-lost feeling of home.

Sun Chengwu also missed home, but he kept it to himself and endured it.

Ollie's mother brought in the broth, placed it in front of him, and said gently, "Oli is younger than you, but he eats just like you."

Sun Chengwu couldn't understand it, but he could feel the endless longing and tenderness in Aoli's mother's words.

Sun Chengwu's eyes instantly welled up with tears.

Sometimes, humans don't need language to sense each other's emotions.

Ollie's mother lost her child, and he lost his parents; the two wounded souls redeemed each other.

During dinner, Ollie's younger siblings ran in and chattered excitedly around Sun Chengwu, telling him about the fun things that happened that day.

Sun Chengwu couldn't understand, but they were talking happily.

Sun Chengwu nodded occasionally, pretending that he understood.

After dinner, Ollie's mother made up a bed for Sun Chengwu, and he slept on Ollie's bed.

The room was small, and it was very crowded for five people to sleep in it. Sun Chengwu was on the far edge, and the three children were in the middle.

They played around for a while, then fell asleep in each other's arms.

Ollie's mother tucked them in, looked at Sun Chengwu, and said, "Goodnight."

Sun Chengwu could understand this sentence because Ollie's mother said it every day, and then blew out the oil lamp.

Sun Chengwu also said, "Good night."

The room fell into darkness, and Sun Chengwu closed his eyes and fell asleep after a while.
