Chapter 239: Avalanche
When the carriage arrived, the crossroads of the Gobi were covered with snow, and the continuous mountains were snow-white, very vast, and if nothing else, they would arrive at their destination in two hours. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The carriage turns left, winds into a small road, this trail is quite secret, the entrance place rests a few pieces of yellow stone, it looks inconspicuous in the vast Gobi, but gradually go inside, you can find that this is a rare and dangerous place in the Gobi, the left is the abyss, the right is the cliff, and there are traces of axe digging on the cliff.
Such a dangerous road with such a difference seems to have been dug by man to hide something.
All this makes the destination it leads to seem mysterious.
Song Kai and Heizi outside the carriage were not strange, they had walked this road hundreds of times, and they would not bump into each other when they walked with their eyes closed.
The carriage walked and walked, and only a "whoo" sound was heard to stop.
Jiang Kuo frowned, and was about to ask a question, when Song Kai's voice was already heard.
"Young master, there's an avalanche ahead. ”
Avalanche?
Heizi cursed in a low voice and said, "Young master, the carriage can't go." ”
It's really unlucky, I've been going back and forth from south to north for so many years, and I've never encountered this kind of thing, but I encountered it when I was about to reach my destination.
Jiang Kuo moved the person in his arms to the bed and covered it with a quilt, opened the window and looked out.
It is the narrowest place in the terrain, the abyss on the left, the high cliff on the right, and the road in the middle is just for the carriage to pass, and at this moment the avalanche and the whole road is blocked by snow.
It's just this section, the carriage can't even turn around, it's really impossible to advance or retreat.
Several people were watching such a dangerous situation, and Kuroko proposed: "Master, seeing that the carriage can't go, I have to get out of the carriage and walk over." ”
Jiang Kuo looked up at the place where the high cliff was, and the ice made of large chunks of snow was hanging over, and if it fell, the consequences would be unimaginable.
If the scope of the avalanche is small. Shang Ke walked through quickly with light skills, but if this area was avalanche, it would be very risky to pass from below.
Song Kai suggested: "Young master, it's better for your subordinates to explore the way first." Let's see what happened ahead, and then tell the young master. ”
Jiang Kuo thought for a while, looked at the people who were still sleeping in the carriage, and said, "Go ahead, be careful." ”
Song Kai took the order.
I didn't want to go for a long time, a few people waited in the snow for a long time, and they didn't wait for Song Kai's figure, but waited for a huge sound behind them, and when they looked back, a big piece of ice and snow pressed down. The back road is also blocked.
Kuroko was taken aback and said, "Master, in my opinion, this place is not safe, if there is another avalanche." It's hard to keep ......"
At this point, he paused for a moment, "Master, it's not a way to wait like this, and I don't know what Song Gongzi is doing, why don't I go and take a look?"
Jiang Kuo's brows furrowed tightly, and he was silent for a while, and then said. "Go and come back. ”
Kuroko also went.
Jiang Kuo looked back at the person who was asleep on the bed, and his heart gradually became irritable.
The weather is so bad, avalanches happen from time to time, Song Kai has been going for so long and has not come back, the avalanche range must be very large, and Song Kai is very likely to encounter accidents.
In the case of not knowing the way forward. Retreating should be the safest way out, after all, the road into the valley is far from the road that needs to be walked, but now the road is also blocked by the falling snow, and this place is a dangerous place, if only he is alone. Now that she is by her side, how can he not worry about encountering such a dangerous situation?
He stood up and paced twice back and forth in the carriage, keeping an eye on the cliff above him, for fear of another avalanche.
Time passed little by little, and Song Kai and Kuroko still did not come back, seeing that the road ahead was piled higher and higher by the heavy snow, and it was almost impassable.
He gritted his teeth and returned to the bedside, found a thick garment, put it on her gently, and put on a wide coat himself, and picked her up.
No one had an umbrella, and it was better not to get drenched in such a heavy snow, so he thought about it, and checked back and forth, hiding her in his wide snow fur as much as possible.
The person in the arms didn't know when he woke up and looked at her with a pair of misty eyes.
He smiled unnaturally, "It's too stuffy in the carriage, I'll take you out for a walk." ”
The lie was so clumsy, he was afraid that she would ask, but she didn't, obediently put her arms around his neck, squinted and smiled.
This appearance calmed down his originally restless mood, as if he had invisibly gained a kind of strength.
Her smile and docile movements made him feel her full dependence and trust, and made him realize that he was no longer alone.
He has her, and this time she will accompany him through life and death, together.
The corners of his lips curled, and his eyes were full of determination, "Hold me tight, we're leaving." ”
She clenched her little hands tightly, and obediently curled up into his arms like a cat.
He stepped out of the carriage and kicked the ground, standing on the raised ice and snow in an instant.
No wonder Song Kai and Heizi never came back, this road has basically been destroyed, everywhere is the traces of the collapsed ice and snow, it is difficult to find a place to stand firmly in most places, I am afraid that this side under your feet is still a better place.
His heart tightened, and in the face of the force majeure of nature, he felt uncertain and dazed for the first time.
In such a bad place, it is impossible to settle down, so you can only rely on light skills to fly all the way over.
But the road of this avalanche is not endless, and if it is far away, he holds her, not knowing how far he can last.
It is really just a matter of fate.
The person in his arms seemed to feel his hesitation, and moved restlessly, he pressed her head back, and said, "Good, let's play a game, you have to keep your eyes closed, and you can't open them until I say stop, otherwise you will lose, okay?"
She paused, then nodded.
He smiled and continued to instruct: "You will feel yourself flying, but don't open your eyes, you can sleep." ”
She closed her eyes and leaned quietly into his arms, and he began to jump up again and again, falling again and again, the wind whirring in his ears, mixed with his gasps and heartbeats.
After an unknown amount of time, his wheezing gradually became louder, and his sweat even soaked the heavy snow, but he still talked to her from time to time.
"Don't open your eyes and ......"
……
"It's coming soon......"
……
She closed her eyes tightly, feeling something fall out of her eyes disobediently.
Fortunately, she was buried in his arms, and he couldn't see anything.
His ups and downs grew clunky, but the hand on her waist did not relax in the slightest.
He began to say to her, "You have to hold on to me, you can't relax at all." ”
She knew that he was very tired, and she was afraid that he would accidentally drop her, she really clenched her hands, and her heart began to be nervous, why not, why?
At this moment, the sound of the wind in his ears suddenly stopped, and Jiang Kuo held his breath and stopped in place for a while.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
He began to breathe heavily, and said to her a little tiredly, "You can open your eyes." ”
His voice was tired, but with a smile.
She opened her eyes and wiped the sweat from his face before she began to look at where they were.
A cave with a continuous sea of snow in front of it, and a towering cliff on closer inspection, there is no way out of it, and it is difficult to imagine that they came up from under the cliff.
She looked back at him, "Kuo, is this where you're taking me?"
He carried her into the cave to avoid the falling snowflakes, sat down against the cave wall, and said, "Yu'er, we are lost." ”
He originally walked along the road, but then worried about the lack of physical strength, so he had to lift his breath and fly up the cliff, originally thought that he was familiar everywhere, but the snowy mountains were similar everywhere, he walked all the way, lost his sense of direction, and originally had a fluke, until he saw this cave that he had never seen before, he realized that he had lost his way.
His voice was tired and helpless, with some self-reproach.
What would she think when everything she promised to take her to do went wrong?
He was worried that she would complain, but she didn't, and began to look at the cave with great interest.
"This cave is so big, what is it for?"
Jiang Kuo was stunned for a moment, then looked at the cave twice, and replied, "I don't know, some caves are naturally formed and are useless. ”
She was amazed and praised, "This cave is so beautiful." ”
He smiled at her childishness and asked, "Aren't you afraid you won't be able to go back?"
She smiled and leaned back into his arms, smiling innocently like a little girl, "What's that? ”
He stopped talking, bowed his head and kissed her forehead, thinking that he would find another way out when he regained his strength.
"Let me down......" she suddenly struggled.
"What?"
"You need to rest, I know you're tired just now. She said.
He hooked his lips, moved by her thoughtfulness, but instead tightened his arms.
"It's a good way to rest. ”
In fact, he is used to holding her, and his heart is not steady if he does not hold her.
She didn't follow, the soft grinding and hard bubble was about to come down, so he had to put her down, and sure enough, as soon as his arms were empty, he felt that something was missing in his heart.
But she didn't suffer as much as he did, so she stood up happily and straightened the snow fur on her body.
"It's the dress you gave me," she said, "it's so pretty, it can't be crumpled." ”
He smiled again, his exhaustion swept away, "If you like it." ”
She didn't answer, and looked up into the cave.
"Wide, maybe there are people from outside the world living in it. ”
As he spoke, he walked inside.
His gaze kept following her, and he smiled helplessly when he heard the words, as if he was helpless at her exuberant curiosity and whimsy.
It wasn't like that four years ago, he smiled inwardly.
It turns out that her essence is that she is a carefree little girl, and her stubbornness is just something that has to be produced under the action of the environment. He would rather hold her in the palm of his hand all the time, spoil her, get used to her, and let her always be carefree and not hurt in the slightest.
In such a trance, she had already gone inside.
He was stunned, frowned, and said, "Come back." ”
