63.Just at that moment,some faint cries faraway for help come to his ears.Composing himself hearing of the sounds for another moment,he concluded it must be Kama."Where are you?Kama!Hold on!I am coming for you!" exclaimed Pierre with excitement.While saying,hurriedly,he floundered and crawled along the trace left to Kama.As he approached,the faint cries came closer.Finally,it turned out that Kama' lower part was stuck perfectly in a fissure,more than two meters deep,wide at the top and narrow at the bottom."Coach!Help!Get me out!I am nearly frozen!Help me out!..." cried Kama out excitedly at the sight of Pierre."Hold on!Kama,I am thinking ways!I will get you out soon!" replied Pierre while searching for rescue tools.However,the heavy snows have had everything all but covered.With efforts,Pierre spotted a small tree stood out nearby bearing the thickness as the mouth of a bowl.Hurriedly,he wobbled to the tree and managed to snap it off to exhaustion but failed with sweat all over.Breathing in ragged gasps,Pierre sat under the tree which could otherwise be pulled down easily in his normal condition and touched it sighing deeply,"Humans are really the most vulnerable one in face of the harsh nature." Then,Kama kept moaning louder and things were getting worse.Fully understanding the tree could hardly be dealt with in such poor physical condition,Pierre had to turn to other alternatives.A pool of vast white enveloped him,and Pierre patted his lap anxiously since it was all but impossible to obtain rescue tools in such environment.Abruptly,he stopped,as if he had found a New World,to blunder desperately to the fissure."Kama,I have it!You just hold on!I am coming!" cried Pierre out loud while running.Listening to these words,Kama pulled himself together as well and yelled in excitement,"What's it?Tell me!" "It is my sweat pants!You take its one end,and I take the other,thus I can pull you out..." replied Pierre while slipping off his shoes beside the fissure."No!Don't take off your pants!Never and ever!You must be freezing in the blizzard..." Kama cut in without hearing Pierre out.
64.But the sweat pants had already dropped onto the ground before he could finish his words.Kama,a man of iron will,gritted his teeth and snapped the pants leg tightly,his eyes dimming with tears.Then,he attempted ****** a pull forcefully."You blockhead...for what are you pulling without my instruction?Do you want to drag me down?" yelled Pierre out on the spot.Raising his head,Kama burst into a chuckle when seeing that Pierre too lay on the ground holding the other pants leg in his mouth."It's an ill Tibetan mastiff puppy that can not hold the milk bucket with much seeing in a tent.This guy is doomed to be marrying our girl,otherwise his way of doing things would be in no way identical to ours." Kama thought to himself.
65.When Pierre held up his thumb as a sign to move,Kama quickly held onto the pants leg with his one hand and with another pressed hard against the cliff walls for a force upward,and well with a desperate drag from Pierre using both his hands and mouth,Kama was eventually pulled out of the fissure.When Kama climbed out,Pierre was found to have fallen swooning to the earth with injuries all over his body.Calling Pierre loudly,Kama crawled over to him and squeezed his legs turning livid with cold real tight,in an attempt to warm them up with his body.Only at this moment,however,did Kama find that the heat in his body had gone in so large quantities as to be unable to support Pierre anymore.For quite a few times,Kama managed to stagger to his feet standing Pierre up but failed for lack of physical strength.Looking helplessly to Pierre who,for the sake of his life,went off into a dead faint out of frostbite,Kama wailed out loud,"Good Heavens!Who's gonna help my friend?Who?rDo-rje Shugs-ldan !( or Dorje Shugden,a dharma protector)rDo-rje Shugs-ldan !..."
66.Gradually,Kama was covered all over by the snowflakes and just as he was about to slip onto unconsciousness,the callings from Gongbu came vaguely to him."Gongbu!We are right here!" shouted Kama out loud by all his strength before he fainted.

67.Actually,Gongbu had made most of the sounds of Kama since he was just a little distance off,all the same he was blocked up by the maze of bushes on his way to save.Finally,with immense effort,he beat out a path and walked himself out of the bushes.Then,very clearly,he spotted the burning words on the mountain foot and the ambulance as well as Haichu who was climbing upward with robes.It's a dilemma!If he determined to leave Pierre and Kama and dashed down the mountain,he could return to the cycling base in safety.Gongbu found it hard to make the decision and subconsciously he began to imagine —— How nice it will be to put on the Tibetan robe enjoying the warmth wherein,and take a good plate of mutton soup after being driven back comfortably in Haichu's ambulance.
68.Just at this moment,once again,Gongbu heard the incessant wails form Kama,"Who's gonna help me…friend…rDo-rje Shugs-ldan !rDo-rje Shugs-ldan !..." Stuck in the choice of whether going down for survival or going back for friends,Gongbu soon came to his senses and resolutely chose the latter.Yelling out for Kama,he went back into the bushes seeking without hesitation.
69.With the help of Haichu coming later,Gongbu carried Pierre and Kama on his back down the mountain one by one.For a split second he labored to have Pierre on his back,he turned around casting Haichu a loving look.Staring at the back of Gongbu tottering down the mountain,Haichu said on the bottom of her heart,"Thanks!Chogbo!"
