Yan Lin and his party did not walk out of the cold snow before dark.
Everyone was hungry and tired, and as the sky began to darken, they all became extremely impatient.
"Damn, it's all you, crying tired like a along the way!" In a sheltered mountain recess, when they stopped to rest for a while, two grumpy men finally got angry, but the target was Ma Dai, who liked to speak coldly.
After biting a few mouthfuls of compressed biscuits, there was no taste in his mouth, his feet had long been frozen and unconscious, and seeing that the sky was gradually getting darker, the two men were extremely impetuous, and immediately used Ma Dai as a punching bag. Forced to look at him, he roared, and the spit stars splashed on the ground, chewing and squirting out the sticky stuff of the compressed biscuits, and landing on Ma Dai's face, making him frown.
But Ma Dai also knew that it was better to remain silent at this time, and if he contradicted a word, he might be beaten by these two irritable men. At that moment, Nuno bowed his head and did not answer.
The two men were deliberately looking for something to vent, seeing that Ma Dai was silent, and his anger was nowhere to be released, one of them reached out and pushed Ma Dai fiercely, and said loudly: "Why don't you speak, didn't you hear us talk about you?" His strength was very great, and Ma Dai's thin body suddenly stumbled, fell on the snow and fell into a dog to eat, extremely embarrassed.
Ma Dai's temper was also stinky, and there were two large blood blisters on the soles of his feet, and the people did not treat him well on the road, and the food distributed to him was very small. At this point, my stomach was already so hungry that my chest was close to my back. It's terrible. was pushed like this, and the anger suddenly came up. Stubbornly distinguished: "Why is it to blame me, I am not the only one who complains on the road." Besides, am I not right? I said a long time ago that we should go back the same way, but now it's okay, after drinking the cold wind for a whole day, did you go out again? Tonight, all of us will starve to death in this place, and you will bring it upon you! ”
The two men yelled, "Look for your sister! Just your mother's mouth! As he spoke, he immediately punched and kicked. Vent your grievances.
Gao Qi was the one who took the lead, so he hurriedly ran over to set up the two of them, and advised: "Don't be angry with the two friends, we are already about to get out of the snow, and we have to hurry tonight, so it's better to save some strength." ”
The two men were originally very unhappy, but when they heard Gao Qi's words, they saw that Gao Qi didn't look like he was talking empty words, so they put up with it for the time being. Strange asked, "Coming out of the snow?" Now it's almost dark, and at a glance, it's still white, why are you about to go out? ”
Gao Qi nodded and said, "I didn't lie to you. As he spoke, he stepped on the snow under his feet. "Haven't you noticed that the snow here is less than three inches thick?" And the snow here is already showing signs of melting, indicating that ours has reached the edge of the snow. ”
"Huh? It really is! ”
Some people who had begun to fall into despair heard Gao Qi's words and hurriedly tested the snow on the ground with their feet or hands. Sure enough, where to start. The snow is wet, and it's not hard and cold anymore!
With this discovery. The people who were already tired and hungry, cold and sleepy were more or less ignited some fighting spirit, and at that moment someone tore open the package they had picked up and wrapped it on the shovel used for mountaineering, which immediately became several torches. A total of three were lit with lighters, divided into three places, front, middle and back, and they hurried overnight.
Gao Qi, who is the most calm and has experience in the field, leads the way in front. I saw him holding a blazing torch, bending down from time to time to pinch a handful of snow along the way, testing the humidity and thickness, analyzing and thinking for a while, and then beckoning others to follow after determining the direction.
The three torches flickered brightly and darkly, illuminating everyone's faces.
Traveling in the snow at night is as dangerous as it is to go, and everyone knows very well that in such a strange place, from time to time there will be a misstep, and from then on you may have to bury your bones in the wilderness. Therefore, they were all cautious, and they didn't dare to make a sound. The shoes creaked against the snow, and it was extremely loud.
In such a cold night, the cold wind blows constantly, and the bright light of the torch does not reach a large range, however, Gao Qi, who walked in the front, was like an old horse, leading everyone to walk on the rugged road unhurriedly, and more than an hour passed, and there was no accident.
The safer the team, the clearer the indescribable doubt in Yan Lin's heart became.
After a long time, Yan Lin suddenly thought of something crucial. His eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, staring closely at Gao Qi's back and steps. As time slowly passed, Yan Lin's gaze became more serious.
Chu Qing, who was walking beside Yan Lin, noticed Yan Lin's solemn expression, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”
Yan Lin stared at Gao Qi's back without moving, and said in a low voice that only the two of them could hear clearly: "Chu Qing, have you noticed that his steps are too steady?" ”
Chu Qing followed Yan Lin's gaze and saw Gao Qi cautiously groping forward, turning around from time to time to greet everyone, making everyone feel calm. She didn't see anything unusual for a while, and couldn't help but say strangely: "Isn't it good to be stable?" This shows that he has a good experience in surviving in the wild, and he also has greater hope for me and us to get out of this ice and snow world alive. ”
Yan Lin shook his head and said, "I mean, he seems to be familiar with this place. You see that he has left the rows of footprints with the route we have taken, but he seems to be unaware of it, as if he is going to take us somewhere unconsciously. ”
Chu Qing's breathing suddenly became short, if Gao Qi's actions were really as Yan Lin said, then Gao Qi was very suspicious. In such an unknown and strange place, in the strange and unpredictable night, if someone wants to make any moves, it will be terrible to prevent.
However, this is just Yan Lin's personal speculation, and it should not be accurate. Besides, everyone's situation is already extremely difficult now, and it is not too late to get out of this cold snow alive first.
Chu Qing was delicate and careful, although she still didn't see anything abnormal, but after hearing Yan Lin's reminder, she was already careful in her heart, nodded and whispered: "Although I can't be sure, it's always wrong to be careful, I hope the problem you worry about won't happen." ”
Yan Lin nodded yes, stopped making a sound at the moment, and hurried cautiously.
The snow under my feet was getting shallower and lighter, and sure enough, it was getting closer to the edge.
Suddenly, a cold wind whistled by, causing the handles in everyone's hands to be extinguished at once, and the whole world was plunged into endless darkness. The moonlight reflected in the snow was extremely bleak, and everyone's faces were pale in color.
Call!
When everyone hurriedly took out lighters and lit the torches, a creepy breathing sound suddenly came to mind. Yan Lin and Chu Qing walked in the middle of the team, but they also felt as if there was a person crawling behind them, blowing a cold wind from the tarsal bones.
"Who!"
Ma Dai, who was left at the back of the line, suddenly let out a frightened scream, his cry was particularly loud, and suddenly exploded in the quiet night sky, making everyone's hearts tense and their scalps tingle. One of the torches was quickly rekindled, and the man with the torch was also startled, and threw the torch behind him, and when he looked back, he saw a huge black shadow whizzing away from the back of the procession, and quickly disappeared behind a low hill, and there was no sound again.
"What's that?"
Many people saw the huge black shadow, and they were all in a panic. Immediately, someone wanted to ask Gao Qi, Gao Qi was calm and experienced along the way, and he has become the backbone of everyone. However, to everyone's horror, in the short time that the torch was extinguished just now, Gao Qi and the three people who followed him were all gone!
A strong uneasiness instantly hung over everyone's hearts
