Chapter 1035 The friendship between life and death
After listening to Deng Kai's story about how he and Gu Hao met, Lao Xu was surprised and said, "It's really hard to imagine that you two ended up becoming such good friends!"

Deng Kai smiled and said, "I have been weak since I was a child. In fact, if you want to be more specific, I have never had any serious illness. In short, I am more delicate than other children, so I am naturally much less courageous than others... Later, when I grew up, I realized that my situation is not called physical weakness, but physical weakness, which is the so-called weak fate, which is easy to attract evil. After meeting Gu Hao, although I knew that he was particularly annoyed with me at that time, I felt very safe with him, and he always gave me the impression that he could handle any serious problem. So later, I shamelessly stayed by his side, and after a long time, he got used to it and didn't annoy me as much as at the beginning. Later, we experienced many things together, and we became the relationship we are now. You just said that we are 'good friends'. I feel that this word is not quite appropriate to describe the relationship between the two of us. Although he has always been reluctant to admit it, in fact, the relationship between the two of us is definitely higher than the three words 'good friends'. It is at least worthy of the four words 'friends of life and death'."

When Lao Xu heard this, he felt that he had really underestimated this rich second generation in the past. Deng Kai's inner world was much more delicate than it appeared on the surface. He could sense the slightest emotions expressed by Gu Hao, but was too careless to take them seriously. Perhaps it was true what Gu Hao had said before, that the two of them were destined to have a past life entanglement.

After listening to their stories, Bai Ze was more curious about the changes in Deng Kai's heart. He used to behave like a typical rich boy. Although he could not be called a bad person, he was definitely not a purely good person... But now, not only does he have the responsibility among friends, he even chooses to believe in Gu Hao unconditionally when he knows that his real identity is an old ghost who has taken over someone else's body. This alone is not something that everyone can do.

Time soon came to the afternoon. Seeing that Xiaofeng had been driving for seven hours straight, Deng Kai asked him to go to the back to sleep for a while and he would drive the rest of the way by himself. When they got tired, the two of them would take turns... When driver Xiaofeng heard this, he said a few polite words and went to the back to rest.

As the people around them changed, Lao Xu and Bai Ze lost their enthusiasm for chatting, so the car soon became unusually quiet. As the sun gradually moved westward, street lights on both sides of the road lit up one after another. At first, Deng Kai was still staring with big eyes, driving attentively, but after a long time, he gradually became a little tired, and even slowly began to doze off...

Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was a "pop" sound, and a crisp slap suddenly rang out in the car. The driver Xiaofeng had just woken up from a nap at that time. He looked up from the rearview mirror and saw that Deng Kai, who was about to close his eyes and fall asleep, suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself. The sound was so crisp.

Deng Kai was immediately shocked by the slap. He rubbed his cheek in confusion and looked at his right face in the rearview mirror with a look of doubt on his life. At this time, he happened to see the driver Xiaofeng who was stunned through the rearview mirror, so he said awkwardly, "I almost fell asleep just now, so I slapped myself."

Xiao Feng asked immediately after hearing this, "Why don't we stop at a service station to rest and let me take over. You've been driving for several hours straight."

Deng Kai knew he couldn't continue to be so stubborn, so he just wanted to agree, but what he said was, "No need... You should get some more sleep. I still have to count on you to drive the car later in the night. If I feel sleepy, I'll slap myself."

Deng Kai felt like crying when he heard this, but he didn't dare to continue talking because he knew that the person who spoke now must be Gu Hao. So he drove the car into the service area without saying a word. After parking the car, he got out and drove straight to an area where there was no one nearby... and then he started talking to himself.

"Why did you slap me so hard just now!?"

"I'm afraid if I don't use enough force, I won't be able to wake you up!" "Aren't you afraid if I use too much force, I'll be beaten to death?!"

"Just tell me whether it works or not?"

"Also... why didn't you let the driver drive just now? You asked me to continue driving even though you knew I was sleepy!?"

"Didn't I tell you? He has to drive until the middle of the night, when people are most likely to get sleepy. He's in charge of driving, and you're in charge of watching..."

"Ah? I can't take a break while he drives. Why don't I just drive?"

Xiao Feng just came out of the toilet and saw Deng Kai talking to himself not far away. Fortunately, Lao Xu at the side saw this and said at the right time, "You should get in the car and rest for a while. Deng Kai is using the Bluetooth headset to make a call."

This may sound normal at first, but it overemphasizes the fact that the other party is using a Bluetooth headset. Therefore, although Xiao Feng did not notice anything at first, he figured out the awkwardness when he sat back in the car... Fortunately, Lao Xu also realized the problem at this time, so he quickly took out his mobile phone and pretended to be on a call to avoid the other party's gaze.

This journey was exhausting, especially Deng Kai, who felt like he was dying! During the more than 30-hour drive, he watched the driver while he drove, and drove while the driver slept. He was never idle, so when he was watching the driver driving, Gu Hao was the one controlling his body, and he himself fell into a state of sleeping with his eyes open.

It was already the afternoon of the next day when the group arrived at the place where they met the local Hakka guide Abang. After all, the purpose of their trip was not really to travel and check in, so they declined Abang's suggestion that they take a half-day break and set off the next day, and took all the equipment into the mountains that night.

Since the local climate is dry and visibility is high from November to February of the following year, it is the best time to travel to Yuxikou Snow Mountain. Therefore, when they were almost there, they encountered waves of tourists. If it weren't for Abang leading the way and taking another mountain road, they would have been stuck on the way to the snow mountain.

In fact, at the beginning, when Abang learned that one of their group actually needed to be carried up on a stretcher, he directly refused. After all, no normal person would send a half-dead person to the snow mountain... But on the one hand, the commission offered by Deng Kai was three times the usual amount; and on the other hand, he made up a tragic story, making Song Jiang's character a person who must fulfill a wish to go to the Yuxikou Snow Mountain before his death. Only then did he convince Abang.
