Chapter 157: Walking Alone in the Snow

In winter, it gets dark early, and when it snows, it gets dark even earlier, seeing that night is about to fall, Wu Zhongyuan began to worry about his residence, the weather is so cold, he must find a place to spend the night, and he will definitely freeze to death if he has been wandering in the wild.

At this time, unlike modern times, there are no unfinished buildings on the roadside, and there are no orchard nursing houses, and there are only two options for spending the night in the wilderness, one is to find a sheltered place to make a fire to keep warm, and the other is to find a natural cave. But he didn't have the tools to make a fire, so he couldn't make a fire, so he had to find a cave.

Caves are not everywhere, they have to be found, and until nightfall, he did not find any decent caves, let alone decent ones, and even non-decent ones.

After searching for more than an hour, Wu Zhongyuan gave up, the possibility of finding the cave was too small, it was better to keep going and rush to the next village as soon as possible.

But he didn't know where the next village was, or how far away the next village was, so he had to bite the bullet and move on.

The further he went, the more bottomless Wu Zhongyuan's heart became, the snow on the ground was very thick, covering the road, and the road was full of big trees on both sides, and the canopy of the big trees would block the sun, so there were few shrubs growing under the big trees, and without shrubs, it was not easy to distinguish the direction of the road. In order not to get lost, he had to stop every once in a while to remove the snow and check for fallen leaves and dead grass under the snow.

However, this method is not very safe, because there may not be many people walking on this road, and there are dead grass and fallen leaves on the road.

The shoes he wears on his feet are made of cowhide, and when he walks in the snow for a long time, the snow seeps in from the eye of the needle, his feet have long been frozen numb, and his body is getting colder and colder, and if he wants to keep warm, he must keep walking, and if he keeps walking, he will sweat, and if he sweats, he will freeze, and if he freezes, he will be colder, which is a vicious circle.

When he left the village, Wu Zhongyuan's mood was very low, and his mood became depressed and annoyed when he walked hard in the snow, but at this time he couldn't help but want to laugh, thinking about it carefully, he didn't seem to have done anything lacking in virtue, how could he be retributed, if it wasn't retribution, how could he be so unlucky.

It is said that Fu Wushuang is not a single line of disaster, and it is really like this, I don't know when a group of wolves came up behind him, there were more than a dozen, just a few dozen meters behind, he walked, and the wolves also walked. He stopped, and so did the wolves.

Wu Zhongyuan was holding back his breath, and when he saw the wolves, he immediately removed the longbow on his shoulder, and opened the bow with arrows.

As he opened the bow, a strange thought came to his mind, and it would be interesting if the bowstring broke.

But he hasn't been unlucky to that extent, the bowstring hasn't broken, and he hasn't shot this arrow, in fact, there is nothing wrong with this group of wolves, it's icy and snowy, if it's not hungry and ruthless, who will come out to hunt, forget it, don't rush to kill them first, wait for them to really come up and attack.

The wolves were still more afraid of bows and arrows, and when they saw him take the arrow and open the bow, they turned around and ran away.

As the saying goes, if you stand on a high place, you may be able to see the light in the distance, thinking of this, he will leave the road, go to the heights, snow days also have the advantage of snow days, that is, you can leave footprints, and you can return the same way after reaching the top of the mountain.

Finally climbed to the top of the mountain, Wu Zhongyuan found that he was in vain, at this time it was still snowing in the sky, and the surroundings were white and vast, and he couldn't see anything. Taking a step back, even if it doesn't snow, it is estimated that there is no fire in sight, and this kind of bird weather who will light a fire in the open air.

After a wry smile, he began to turn back the same way, and after walking a short distance, he suddenly heard a strange sound behind him, turned his head to look back, and found a black shadow scurrying east from the top of the mountain.

Seeing this, he hurriedly ran back to the top of the mountain, raised his eyes and looked into the distance, only to see a vague black shadow in the wind and snow drifting rapidly to the east, this way of moving has exceeded the scope of light power, this has to be a volley that can only be used after promoting purple qi.

But he just watched the black shadow go away, and didn't shout, and if he shouted, it was in vain, and people wouldn't turn around and come back to show him the way.

When the black shadow disappeared, Wu Zhongyuan turned around and wanted to go down the mountain, but as soon as he turned around, he suddenly found something on the snow, squatted down and looked closely, it was a few drops of blood, due to the extremely cold weather, the blood did not seep into the snow after dripping.

The black shadow in the past was relatively petite, it should be a woman, and I don't know what happened to this person, in short, he was injured.

Just as he was checking the blood droplets on the snow, two huge black shadows appeared in the air in the southwest direction, if it didn't snow, he could see what these two black shadows were, but unfortunately it was snowing, he couldn't really see it, he could only be sure that these two black shadows were not people, because the human body was not so big.

The speed of the two black shadows moved very fast, for safety reasons, Wu Zhongyuan hid behind the tree and tilted his head to observe, and when the black shadows reached within thirty meters, he saw the real bodies of the two black shadows, which were two huge eagles.

The two eagles are much larger than their peers, with a wingspan of at least four to five meters, and a coat color similar to that of a common eagle.

Two eagles flew from a distance with their wings fluttering, and when they flew past the top of the mountain, one of the eagles actually spoke, "There are footprints on the top of the mountain." ”

"That's a man's footprint, don't pay attention. Another eagle said.

Hearing the eagle speak, Wu Zhongyuan was puzzled, thought about it, and suddenly realized that these two eagles were not real eagles, but masters of the cattle clan who could transform into beast bodies. Suddenly realized, but at the same time, he was afraid, fortunately one of the guys had good eyes and knew that there were man's footprints on the ground, otherwise he would probably come down to chase him.

The two eagles sped eastward and quickly disappeared.

After they left, Wu Zhongyuan hurriedly ran down the mountain and continued to move east from under the forest.

The three people who had passed before had also gone east, and he was likely to bump into them if he went east, but knowing this, he could only go east, because the road led to the east, and if he went south or north, the hope of encountering the village was even slimmer.

He hadn't eaten for a day, Wu Zhongyuan was hungry for a long time, but the hunger was tolerable, what made him unbearable was the severe cold, it was too cold, the temples on both sides of the cold hurt, and every time he breathed air, the cold would choke directly into his lungs along the trachea, and the lungs were hot and painful.

In order to refresh himself, it may be that he is not clear about the cold, he began to sing, "The snowflakes are fluttering, the north wind is bleak, and the sky and the earth are vast......"

He rarely sings, not only is he out of tune, but he also forgets words, but these are not important, because there is no audience, and even if there is, they cannot understand what he is singing, because he uses a modern language, and the people who can understand it are thousands of years later.

It is said that a man who can sing is more likely to win the favor of women, but unfortunately he belongs to the category that can't sing, not only forgetting the words out of tune, but also singing, "The cold wind is Xiaoxiao, and the snow is drifting." It's a long road, and it's a long way. Look back and look at the stars. The past is like a cloud of smoke......"

At the end of the song, even he couldn't listen to it anymore, so he stopped singing and said to himself instead, "Am I sick, why am I running back if I'm not sick?"

"Which tendon is wrong with me, I have to play noble, what is the difference between me and those stupid women with a messianic complex?"

"Oh, beauty, don't leave me, or I won't survive. ”

"Okay, you're so pathetic, I'll marry you. ”

"Damn, they took the bait, how could I have taken the bait? It's none of my business whether they live or die, and I didn't eat a grain of their rice. ”

"That's not right, I can't do it if I don't come back, the 18th Branch will bring me back, I don't count myself looking for abuse, I was brought back by others. ”

Fortunately, there was no one else around, otherwise he would definitely be regarded as a psychopath, even if he couldn't understand what he was saying, he would have been regarded as a neurotic, because not only was his language wrong, but even his tone was not normal.

In fact, he is a little delirious now, he underestimates the effects of cold on people, hypothermia can cause blood flow to slow down, causing a series of adverse effects, including weakness and lack of oxygen supply to the brain, and he has now begun to see things double.

After insisting on walking for more than half an hour, he began to feel hot, how could it be hot at this time, heat is just an illusion, people who are frozen to death will feel hot before they die, which is why many people who are frozen to death will take off their clothes before dying.

Realizing the bad situation of his own situation, Wu Zhongyuan calmed down, in fact, he didn't have any nostalgia, he had nothing, he didn't have anything to worry about, and he didn't have to worry about being embarrassed after death, because no one knew him. There is no need to worry that Wang Xinran will be sad and sad, because in Wang Xinran's imagination, he will be the king and the king after he comes back.

No, I can't say that I don't care, there is a Sanhu, I promised it, but I couldn't do it.

But it doesn't matter, the current Sanhu doesn't know about his existence, and he won't resent him because of his dishonesty.

No, even if Sanhu doesn't know that he exists, he still loses his trust.

But it can't be helped, it's not that I have the ability to do it and I didn't do it, but I hung up.

Wu Zhongyuan is just moving forward mechanically, just insisting for the sake of persistence, but in fact, he has no hope, there is not a single footprint in the snow, even if there is a village in front of him, it is far away.

To say that there are no regrets, it is false, since he has come back, how can he go to pay tribute to his parents, others have no favor to him, his parents are still very good to him, it was not his parents who abandoned him back then, but the wizard's practice went wrong. He doesn't remember his parents, and Wu Tai doesn't have much impression of the two, but just because his father dares to take him back to the bear clan to raise him, he should give his father a thumbs up, in today's words, he is an illegitimate child, his father will be criticized for taking him back to the bear clan, what is the dare to be, this is called daring to be, in Lin Qingming's words, as long as he can bear the consequences for what he does, no matter what he has done, it is right.

When the son doesn't want to lose Lao Tzu, although Wu Zhongyuan didn't do anything, he was a little proud in his heart, he came back bravely, and people didn't need it, that was someone else's business, and he couldn't say that he was timid. Second, he resolutely left the village after being coldly spoken of during the day, and until now he has no regrets about leaving that village......
