Chapter 9: A Little Cold Wave in the Mountains
Baguio's posture was reflected in the bright bonfire, and my eyes were straight when I saw it!
Two seconds later, Jin Biyao finally noticed the abnormality, screamed, and quickly got back into the sleeping bag, directly hid his head in it, and pulled the sleeping bag tightly.
I touched my hot cheeks and slowly got up from the ground, a little blind, was she really stupid just now, or did she do it on purpose?
For a long time, Jin Baguio didn't come out again, the sleeping bag rose and fell evenly and slowly, she should have fallen asleep.
I moved to the mouth of the cave, threw the last of the dry wood into the fire, and looked at my watch, and it was almost twelve o'clock in the night, and I could not keep watch over the fire all night, for the heat left by the fire was enough to sustain it until tomorrow morning.
When the firewood was finished, I turned on my flashlight, extinguished the ashes with earth, and then sealed the hole with thick branches, tied it with rope to form a "door", and then used a wooden stick to push it from the inside, so that it was enough to prevent the attack of ordinary wild animals.
After doing these tasks, I unfolded my sleeping bag, but when I got in, I found that the sleeping bag was actually leaking, and the lower part was cracked with a large hole half a meter long, and half of the leg stretched out directly, and the sleeping bag completely lost its effect.
Fortunately, in the place where the fire has burned, the temperature is enough, and the sleeping bag can be used as a quilt.
Lying down, I closed my eyes, and after a tiring day, I soon fell asleep......
I don't know how long it took, I was awakened by a chill, opened my eyes, turned on the flashlight, everything in the cave, including Jin Baguio, was in place, and the entrance of the cave was also closed by a branch door, but the temperature in the cave, the drop was powerful, and the body felt about minus 20 degrees.
I looked at the time, it was only two o'clock in the morning, it was still early before dawn, and the temperature under the fire was also lost because of the temperature difference, I shivered and gathered the hay around me to prevent further loss of temperature, and lay down for a while, feeling colder and colder, and my teeth began to tremble uncontrollably, making a crunching sound.
"What's wrong with you......" Jin Biguio asked lazily as she was woken up in the dark.
"No, it's okay, you can sleep." I shuddered.
Jin Biguio turned on her flashlight and shone it on me: "Huh? Why don't you get into your sleeping bag? ”
With my cold hands, I picked up the corner of the sleeping bag and showed it to her: "Sleep, the sleeping bag is broken." ”
"Huh? So what to do! Jin Biguio sat up, "You can't sleep outside, how cold it is!" ”
"It's okay," I said with a wry smile, "just stay up until morning!" ”
"Ahh The cold wind got into Jin Baguio's sleeping bag, and she sneezed, "How did it get so cold!" ”
"It should be a little cold, a cold wave!" I hugged my shoulders and said, this kind of small cold wave, not from the Siberian kind of large cold wave, but the unique microclimate in the Changbai Mountain, a bit similar to the forest fog, the formation of a small cold wave area is not fixed, the area is not large, only a few miles square, but the cooling effect, but than the Siberian cold wave, grandpa said, he encountered a mountain in the past, or in the summer, in a short period of time, the temperature actually dropped to below zero, the leaves of the plants are full of hoarfrost, even the banks of the stream, are covered with ice ballast.
Jin Biyao poked her hand out, felt the temperature, and then said categorically: "Yifan, you can't sleep like this, you will freeze to death!" ”
"What else can I do?" I smiled bitterly, I didn't bring a needle and thread, and the sleeping bag couldn't be mended, and even if it was mended, it lost its sealing, and it didn't play much role in the face of such a cold day - don't underestimate this thin sleeping bag, its principle is similar to a thermos, and its insulation effect in the field is far better than a thicker quilt.
"Come here!" Jin Biguio said in a commanding tone, "Come to my sleeping bag!" ”
"Pure, what are you going to do?"
"Together! Do you think I'm going to go out and freeze to death for you? I'm not that great! Jin Baguio gave me a blank look.
"Together? Will it work? Such a small sleeping bag! I couldn't help but frown.
"Squeeze!"
Well, in order not to freeze to death, I had to do this, I dragged my frozen legs and feet, moved to Jin Baguio's side, and touched the ground under the sleeping bag, her side was already cold, maybe Baguio was also frozen awake.
"Wait! Turn off the flashlight first! Baguio whispered.
"Hmm." I turned off the flashlight, and then, I fumbled for the zipper of my sleeping bag, opened it halfway, turned my back to Baguio, and retracted it on my side, but when I tried to close the zipper in front of me, I found it too tight, although I could barely close it, but I felt that as soon as I moved, the zipper would burst.
"No, the sleeping bag will be broken." I say.
"Huh? Won't the zipper close? Baguio asked.
"It closes, but it's too tight," I explained, "and I'd better get out." ”
This is the last sleeping bag, once it collapses, it is not possible to freeze to death, but we will both be frostbitten, at least a severe cold, and we will definitely not be able to rush smoothly tomorrow morning, this is the hinterland of Changbai Mountain, "vultures" They may not be able to catch us when they can, I can't accept this kind of dangerous thing happening.
"You sleep, I'll go out and pick up some more firewood and make a new fire." I said, this is the only way.
Coincidentally, in the distance outside the cave, there was a sudden low roar of an unknown animal, which sounded like a bear.
"How dangerous! It's the middle of the night, and the mountains are full of wildlife! When you go out, don't you bring them supper! "Jin Biguio was dragging my clothes and wouldn't let me go out.
"Then what do you say!" I turned my head and said with some frustration, and by accident, my nose seemed to touch hers.
"Oops," Jin Biguio screamed, but it should be fine, she moved her hand up and touched my face, "You're almost freezing to the core, don't go out, if you're afraid that the sleeping bag will open, you...... The clothes are so thick that they take up a lot of space, you know what I mean? ”
"That's a solution!" I said excitedly, not because of anything else, completely, it was out of the instinct of survival, as the body temperature gradually recovered, the sealing and warmth function of the sleeping bag was gradually reflected, about three minutes later, I finally recovered from the cold, my body no longer trembled, and my heart rate also dropped.
"It's much warmer." Jin Biguio laughed behind her back.
"Thought you were asleep!" I said, and my voice stopped shaking.
"Hehe, let's do this, can I still sleep?" Baguio laughed and said, "Hey, by the way, you and Miss Ginseng, didn't you come like this?" ”
"It seems to be ......," I recalled, when it was the red rope that tied me to the sleeping ginseng lady, and now, it is this sleeping bag, and the fixing effect is the same.
"But the location seems to be reversed." I said again.
"Then let's transfer it!" Baguio said, and actually took the initiative to turn over and turned back to back with me.
I hesitated for a few seconds, turned around, and ...... It can be summed up in one sentence: relive the old dream, but the heroine has been changed.
This night, I slept so soundly that I didn't even know when Baguio would get up and leave the sleeping bag.
When I woke up in the morning, the morning light had already shone through the hole, the dust particles in the sunlight were clearly visible, the cold wave seemed to have passed, my exposed cheeks no longer felt cold, Baguio was dressed neatly, and was kneeling in front of a small pile of dry wood broken from the branches, trying to blow up the small flames and light them to form a bonfire, as I did last night, but the branches and leaves at the door were soaked by the cold wave, and the branches and branches were only soaked, and the branches were only bursts of green smoke, which were not ignited.
"Wake up so early?" I asked.
Jin Biyao turned her head to look at me, and quickly avoided her gaze again, pretending that I didn't exist.
"What, angry? Still shy? I laughed and asked, she wasn't angry or shy when she was in her sleeping bag, and if there were critters outside the cave, she would have proved it by the voice and language of Baguio she had heard last night.
"If you can't light a fire, how can you eat breakfast?" Baguio looked left and right with a ruddy face, and said something else, "I don't want to eat cold compressed biscuits!" ”
"I'll do it." I got out of my sleeping bag, and Baguio glanced at me and immediately covered my eyes.
Still a little cold, I quickly put on my clothes, shoes and socks, and in the process, Baguio looked at me from time to time through the seams of my hands, not knowing what was going on in my head.
At least there is one thing that I am no longer worried about, that is, Baguio's condition, according to Mr. Hao's "middle strategy", once it enters the soul, it should be more effective than me contributing 600ml of blood to alleviate her condition, and it will definitely support us to Lao Yuling.
