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?”
“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?”
