Chapter 26 The Cabin
The boy ran to the hut with all his might, and when he reached the door of the hut, he opened the door without hesitation. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Once inside, the boy turned and closed the door, and the cabin became dark. The boy took advantage of the light that came through the window of the hut and looked around, and saw that the hut was very clean and seemed to be cleaned regularly.
In the center of the room, there was a stone stove and some coal on the side. The boy went around the stove and saw a wooden bed with a neat quilt folded at the head of the bed, and when the boy saw it, he immediately put the woman on his back on the bed and put the quilt on top of him.
The boy looked at the woman in front of him with an extremely pale face, and his lips were bruised from the cold, the boy sighed, and looked back at the stove, "You have to light the stove, otherwise it's still too cold, but even such a little coal next to the stove is not enough to burn!" Alas, it doesn't matter, let's light the fire first. ”
The boy went to the stove and put all the coals into the stove at once, and as he lit the fire, the boy suddenly remembered that he had no fire. So, the boy looked around the stove again, but found nothing that could light a fire.
Suddenly, the boy remembered that he had seen a cabinet on the side of the bed that was a little higher than the bed, and he hurried to the cabinet.
With a "squeak", the boy opened the cabinet door. He saw that there were three compartments in the cupboard, the top and the bottom separated by a large plank, and then the upper compartment was separated vertically by a plank.
The boy saw an iron basin in the lower compartment, and after thinking about it, he took it out, and then the boy looked up again, and found that in the upper two compartments, one placed a lamp, and the other placed several small boxes, and next to the boxes there were several pieces of paper and a small oil bottle. The boy looked at the small boxes, took out one of them with some curiosity, and when he opened it, he saw more than a dozen small wooden sticks.
The boy took out a piece of wood, looked at it carefully, and found that one end of the wooden stick was green, and the boy muttered in a low voice: "Could it be that this is the legendary match?" Well, it must be like that. However, it is useless to have matches alone! I've got to get some wood. ”
When the boy had finished speaking, he put down the match and walked towards the door. Before he pushed the door open, the boy felt a chill, and was drilling into the room through the crack in the door, the boy hesitated, he was wondering if he should recover some vitality before going out, now he didn't have a trace of vitality, although he was somewhat resistant to the cold, but this ice and snow, if it was frozen for a long time, he couldn't stand it!
However, if he did not find flammable firewood to light the coals quickly, the woman would have frozen to death, and the boy gritted his teeth and prepared to go out.
The boy reached out and pushed the wooden door open, and a cold wind with snowflakes immediately blew in, and the boy walked out quickly, and then closed the door.
The snowflakes were blown by the wind like blades and danced wildly in the air, and the boy took a deep breath of cold air and walked on the snow. At this time, the snow was thicker than before, and the boy had to stabilize himself with every step he took, because he had no vitality now, and it would be difficult to get up again if he fell.
The boy walked very carefully, not at a fast pace, and when he was ten meters away, he suddenly stopped, and he looked around, hoping to see some trees, but to his disappointment, there were no trees everywhere his eyes could see.
Think about it, how can trees grow in this area except for snow and ice?
The boy returned to the hut in frustration, and first looked at the woman and found that she was still alive. He walked over to the stove and sat down, and began to recuperate.
It's just that this time the boy only cultivated for a short while, and after just having a little bit of vitality in his body, he got up and walked towards the woman, and then injected the bit of vitality that had just recovered into her body. After that, the boy had to go back to his senses.
However, when the boy turned around, he suddenly saw the cabinet that had not been closed, and the box of matches he had placed there on the cabinet, and the boy walked to the cabinet and picked up the matches. He was about to put the match in it, but suddenly he remembered that it was getting late, and the stove could not be lit, and it would not work if there was no light, so he took out the oil lamp he had seen from the cupboard, and put it on the cupboard, and lit it with a match.
The dim light shone on the boy's face, and the boy looked at the flames, and couldn't help but reach over the flames and roast his hands.
"Oops! How can I be so stupid! The boy screamed suddenly, and then ran to the stove, took out a piece of coal, and roasted it on top of the oil lamp.
After not baking for a while, the boy suddenly remembered, "By the way, this is not good, and when this coal is burned hot, I will not be able to hold it." With that, the boy took up the oil lamp, went to the stove, put it under the stove, and put back the coal that had come out of him.
When he had done this, the boy put his head on the ground and looked at the position of the oil lamp, and saw that the flame on the oil lamp had burned through the iron mesh to a piece of coal.
When the boy saw this, he was very satisfied, so he got up and sat aside, and regained his strength.
This time, the boy's cultivation time was a little longer than the last time, and his vitality recovered a little more. After that, just like last time, the boy injected all the vitality he had just recovered into the woman's body.
After injecting the vitality, the boy touched the woman's forehead, and felt that the woman's body temperature was much higher than before, so he decided that if he regained his vitality, he would restore it all at once.
But before that, the boy had to watch the stove, and when all the coals were burning in the stove, he had to take out the oil lamp.
So, feeling idle, the boy stood in front of the only small window in the hut, looking at the snow outside, and listening to the whirring wind. At this moment, the boy's heart was completely calm. Suddenly the boy felt as if he had gone back to the old days, in the wooden house, and when it rained, it became dark outside, and every time he could see through the window the lightning that flashed in the sky, and then the thunder that rumbled. At that time, he always wondered how the rainy scenes in the stories his grandfather had told him were different from what he saw now.
At that time, the boy felt that the difference was that the rain in the story would fall on the roof tiles, and then a pleasant "da-da" sound would be played, and then the children in the story would fall asleep listening to the rain.
At that time, the boy wanted to fall asleep to the sound of the rain. But now he wanted to hear the rustle of the rain on the grass roof when it rained, and he didn't sleep, he wanted to listen to it all the time, he ......
"Ahem, ahem......"
A cough interrupted the boy's thoughts, and the boy looked at the source of the sound and realized that it was the woman. The boy hurriedly walked over, "Hey, you're awake, how are you feeling?" ”
"Cold ...... ...... cold," the woman said inarticulately.
"Cold? Oh normal, you're pretty good, the coals in the furnace are about to burn, and it won't be cold by then. The boy said.
"Cold ...... Cold ......"
"And said! I've told you a lot, and it'll be warm in a while! The boy said impatiently when he heard the woman repeat it again.
"Cold ...... Cold ......"
"Damn, you can't listen...... Oh, she probably hasn't woken up yet! After speaking, the boy walked to the side of the bed and looked at the woman, and found that the woman was closing her eyes, and kept repeating the word "cold" in her mouth, "It seems that she is really not awake, but she just subconsciously keeps chanting the word cold." ”
When the boy had finished speaking, he walked over to the stove, then put his head on the ground and looked at it, and saw that a lump of coal had already turned half red. After seeing this scene, the boy was a little excited, and his heart was finally burning.
The boy happily picked up the oil lamp, placed it on the cupboard at the head of the bed, and then went back to the stove and sat down, and began to recuperate.
…………
Two hours passed, and the boy opened his eyes and stopped practicing. He looked at the stove next to him and saw that the coals in the stove were burning. The boy felt it, and noticed that the room was much warmer than before.
The boy looked up at the bed, saw that the woman was still lying there, and got up and walked over, "Hey, hey, how are you?" ”
"Hmm...... Well? I, this ...... What is this...... Where? The woman asked weakly after being awakened by the boy's voice.
"It's a wooden house on the road you pointed me in, and when I saw it, I came in, otherwise we'd all all die outside." Seeing the woman's feeble question, the boy replied.
"Oh, that'...... That's out there now...... Snow, has the snow stopped? The woman asked weakly.
"Huh? Snow, oh. The boy looked at the window and saw that it was still snowing outside, so he replied, "The snow has not stopped, it is still falling." ”
"Still, it's still down......" the woman said worriedly, looking at the stove in the room.
"Well, can you tell me what the terrain looks like around here?" The boy asked quietly.
"Terrain? You, don't you know? The woman came back to her senses and looked at the boy with some strange eyes.
"Of course I don't know, and if I did, you probably wouldn't have seen me."
"Oh, then find a pen and a piece of paper, and I'll draw it for you."
When the boy heard this, he took out the paper from the cabinet next to the bedside with some excitement, and when he was about to take the pen from the cabinet again, he suddenly remembered that there was no pen in the cabinet. Suddenly, the boy's excited expression disappeared.
"What, this...... Pen, I don't think there is! The boy said.
"None? Well, then I'll ...... I didn't do it, I found a way. The woman said helplessly.
"Oh." When the boy heard the woman's words, he looked very depressed, and thought that hope had come, but it just shook in front of his eyes and flew away.
At this time, the woman on the side looked at the boy a little strangely, thinking that it was not just a topographical map, as for that.
"Little brother, do you want to know what the terrain around here is for, are you going to go anywhere, but you don't know how to go?" The woman couldn't help but ask when she saw that the boy had been hanging his head.
"Yes! I'm going to the town under this cliff, but I don't know where to go, and if I can't find my way down, I'll have to take the risk. The boy replied.
"Take a risk? How are you going to take the risk? The woman asked, confused.
"Jump." The boy took a deep breath and said calmly.
"What? Are you crazy? If you jump directly from such a high place, you will be thrown to death! The woman said in shock.
"Fall, you won't be able to kill me, I'm afraid of the glacier, and I'm afraid that I will be swept away by the river!" The boy said with a solemn expression.
"I ...... I've seen arrogance, but I've never seen you so arrogant that you're not afraid of death. The woman said a little speechlessly. I said that you still can't fall to death, and I'm worried that I'm afraid of being washed away by the glacier, no matter how I hear it, I feel ridiculous.
"Arrogance? What does it mean to be arrogant? The boy asked.
Hearing the boy's question, the woman looked at the boy suspiciously, and then asked, "Do you really not know or do you not know?" ”
"Of course I really don't know, tell me what arrogance means!" The boy was a little dissatisfied with the woman's attitude, and seeing that she did not answer his doubts, he urged.
"This arrogance is always thinking that what I can't do in the first place is something I can do."
"Oh." The boy answered, and bowed his head in thought.
The woman saw that the boy was silent with his head down, thinking that the boy was angry, so she thought about what she had said before, and found that she was indeed a little excessive, not to mention that the other party was her savior, the other party was just a child, and it was normal to say such things, and she said that others were arrogant, and then she deliberately explained the meaning of arrogance, as if she was sarcastically sarcastic.
