Chapter 7: The Search 1

Look for 1

Once you're on the road of searching, you can't stop looking for it, no matter what you're looking for. Whether it's love or career, the reason why you still live in this world is that you are constantly looking for the thing in your heart. No matter how arduous or dangerous the search may be, or if it makes you lose confidence, you will go around and around hoping to find it. But have you ever wondered if you really find this thing one day, is it the meaning of your life's pursuit?

The southern mountains of Houpu are covered with snow that covers the entire ridge, and the white that stretches as far as the eye can see, is the only view here all year round. The wind kept rolling up large flakes of snowflakes, hitting the trees again and again, burying them in the boundless white of the snow. It is also a sacred place for wild beasts, and countless mountain and forest animals use the southern mountains as a paradise for hunting, and even in the cold winter months, they can find food to eat in the biological chain that nature has given them. There are very few human footprints on the snow here, and no one else will ever set foot here, except for the orcs who are rarely sent here to find experimental beasts.

In order to avoid the inspection of the evil orcs, the white-bearded old man Liangsheng hesitated, but still took Natasha and Ruoan into this beast-filled but empty mountain. No matter how thick the cotton jackets were, the three of them couldn't resist the cold wind that kept pouring into their necks and cuffs, and Liangsheng walked hobbled ahead with crutches in his hands, while Natasha and Ruoan followed closely behind Liangsheng tremblingly.

"You damn old man, I don't know what important person you're going to find? You have to come to suffer this sin! Do you know how many beasts there are in this mountain forest, and before you get to the south, this old bone will have to be eaten by the beasts of this mountain forest!" Natasha crossed her hands into her cuffs, wrapped her patched torn cotton jacket hard, and nagged at Liangsheng angrily.

"Lao Na, you have taken the first step out of the city and entered this mountain, and you will talk to me here! I said that you should save your energy, and how good it is to save some strength to fight wild beasts!" Liangsheng looked back at the two people who were shivering with cold as he walked, and continued: "You said that you are the girl, too! How good it is for you to stay in the city, and the good ones also have a stutter, so you have to follow the old man and the old lady out to suffer!"

"Who's the old lady!

"Good grandfather! I'm not afraid of being offended! If you save me, I have to repay you, the Chinese people call Zhi'en Tubao! If you come out to do such a dangerous thing, I will follow you and protect you! Don't worry, I grew up in Huaxia and learned kung fu, I will protect you!" Ruo Ruo'an has frozen her little face red, and the tip of her nose is like a ripe strawberry.

"Hehehe! Look at how sensible other people's children are, you look at you again!

"Dead old man, I won't nag you now, I'll be bored in a while!Ouch, no, let's go and rest under the big tree over there for a while!" Natasha put her hands on her waist and stopped and raised her head towards a big tree.

"It's getting dark, Lao Na! We have to find a cave quickly, or the wild beasts will really eat you at night! They will eat you if they don't eat me! Hey, hey, hey, I'll hold you!"

"Yo yo yo, this Beijing dialect is a bit interesting to learn, but there are not so many of them!" In this cold winter snow, the three of them can still talk and laugh, and it also adds a little temperature to resist the cold.

Finally, when night was approaching, they found a cave in the mountains, and it was pitch black, and Liangsheng lit a little light in the dark cave with a candle that he had prepared. The cave had been filled with a lot of snow, but he could temporarily escape the strong wind outside, so Liangsheng picked up a few handfuls of branches from outside the cave, lit a small fire in the cave, and the three of them sat next to the fire, taking each other as the only support in the mountain forest.

"Old man, you should at least tell us, who are we going to find, where to find it? Always let us have a goal, you don't say anything, let us follow you aimlessly, when will we get to the end?" Natasha looked at the fire and said confusedly, it seemed that there was not a red flame in front of her, but a confused and unknown way forward.

"Hey, didn't I tell you, find an old man, she should be in the south, but I really don't know where she is!"

"This man is important to you, and you are taking such a big risk for him?"

Liangsheng didn't answer, looked at the firelight, nodded heavily, Ruo Ruoan put his hands between his knees, and looked at Liangsheng with his head resting on his arms.

"Don't drink anymore, I'll get you something to eat!After eating and sleeping, continue to hurry tomorrow, no matter who you go to, I'll go out with you anyway, I'll accompany you to find the bottom!" Natasha brushed the broken hair on her forehead and reached out to grab the package, "Girl, you... ”

"Don't speak!" Ryosheng suddenly covered Natasha's mouth to prevent her from making a sound, his eyes fixed on the outside of the cave, and listened intently.

"Woo~~~嗷~~~嗷~~~" "Woo~~~~嗷~~~"

Ryosheng slowly let go of the hand holding Natasha, made a shushing gesture to him, stood up, and walked gently to the entrance of the cave to look out. Outside the cave was a pitch-black mountain forest, but Liangsheng could see countless pairs of green eyes in the darkness constantly approaching the entrance of the cave. Ryosheng let go and returned to the fire, sat heavily on the ground, and sighed, "Hey, I didn't expect to meet a beast so soon!" he said and looked at Natasha and Ruoan, "We are surrounded by wild wolves!"

Natasha looked at Liangsheng in horror, grabbed his hand in a panic with one hand, grabbed Ruo Ruoan with the other, and asked in a panic, "What should we do, old man? Are we going to die so soon?" Liangsheng shook his head and smiled, "Hmph! Maybe it is! ”

Without waiting for Liangsheng to finish speaking, Ruo Ruoan stood up, shook off Natasha's hand, twisted her neck, moved her legs and feet, and said to the two people with a look of not being afraid of death: "Don't go out, let me go and run them away!"

"Girl, don't you want to die? You are so strong, the wild wolf will eat you in two bites! You all wait, they don't dare to come in if there is fire!" Ryosheng picked up a branch with fire from the fire and limped towards the entrance of the cave.

"Old man, you come back! You don't want to die! You're drunk!" Natasha watched the old man walk out of the cave, it was too late to chase after him, the two of them lay at the entrance of the cave and looked outside, only to see the back of Liangsheng holding a torch, limping!

"Oh no, no, no, I have to help him, he's going to be eaten like an old man!" said Natasha as she ran out of the cave, followed closely by Ruoan, and the two of them stopped after a few steps. I only saw a dozen huge snow wolves in front of Liangsheng grinning towards Liangsheng.
