Chapter XXIV; Busy

"Hiccup! What the hell is this thing? Du San asked with a full burp and a look of surprise in his eyes.

"How's it going, are you full?" Zhao Ziqing glanced at him with a smile.

Du San nodded hurriedly, supported his knees with his hands, and sat up straight.

"That's it, why do you ask so much?" Zhao Ziqing didn't seem to intend to explain anything to him, and looked into the distance to soothe his eyes. The sleepiness after the meal hit her, so she couldn't help yawning, in order to dispel the sleepiness, she casually found some irrelevant topics to talk to Du San.

And Du San was in high spirits after eating, obviously not having the habit of taking a lunch break.

While he was talking to Zhao Ziqing, his eyes were fixed on her face, and there was a faint doubt in his eyes, from yesterday to now, it has been less than a day since they got along, and he always felt that the girl in front of him seemed to be a little different from when he was rescued from prison a month ago, and it felt like a different person.

But there are specific places that are not like them, and there are some places that are different, Du San can't find the words to describe them.

However, what interested him the most in front of him was the things that Zhao Ziqing took out, so he couldn't help asking: "These things to eat were also given to you by that strange senior?" ”

"Huh?" Zhao Ziqing was stunned for a moment, then reacted and nodded, "Well, yes, he also gave me a lot of things." ”

……

The two rested for a while, then got on their horses and continued on their way.

After the past half a day, Zhao Ziqing found that Du San was not very familiar with the terrain in this area, he just knew the general direction, from the morning to the present, he often bumped into nonsense, and when he encountered the fork between the ravines and ravines, he often had to identify for a long time before deciding to take that road.

Halfway through the sun, the two came to the foot of a towering peak, much higher than the surrounding mountains, and there was no road down the mountain, except for a snow-covered path that could still be discerned along the peak.

The two of them had no choice but to walk along the trail to the peak, and when they were almost halfway up the mountain, the mountain gradually became steeper, and the thick snow attached to the saga's peak, it looked even more steep and abnormal, which made people secretly frightened. The trail no longer continues up the mountain, but climbs along a flat top halfway up the mountain, like a belt wrapped around the mountainside.

Zhao Ziqing rode on a horse, followed behind Du San, and looked up at the top of the mountain; Rao is that she is halfway up the mountain at this time, but the peak still seems to make her feel endless, straight into the clouds; The wind blew from the peak, sending out bursts of roars like thousands of troops and horses, vast and long, sounding as if the sound was coming from the sky.

- What a majestic mountain! Zhao Ziqing couldn't help but sigh in her heart, secretly admiring the magic of nature's creation, but before the sigh in her heart completely disappeared, some fine snow and ice fell on the mountain peak.

Zhao Ziqing frowned, and didn't care for a while, but the horse that stepped off pricked up his ears, and suddenly seemed to feel something, and suddenly let out a neigh, as if he had encountered a meat-eating beast, and ran forward in panic.

Things came too suddenly, and before Zhao Ziqing could react, he fell directly off the horse.

And Du San's horse is the same, but Du San's riding skills are very good, his physical strength is also great, and his reaction is faster than Zhao Ziqing, his legs are tightly clamped between the horse's belly, and the person is lying on the horse's back, holding the reins with both hands, but he has not been thrown off.

Zhao Ziqing was thrown on the snow and kept rolling down the hillside, but fortunately, he was blocked by a few small trees before he rolled far. It's just that before she could stand up, there was a thunderous roar on the top of the mountain, and Zhao Zi hurriedly looked at it, and suddenly his face turned white.

Vast expanses of snow rushed down the mountain like a surging tide with thunder - an avalanche!

Zhao Ziqing almost didn't hesitate, and after standing up, he immediately ran towards a stone wall in front of him - the stone wall was inclined outward at an angle of about forty degrees, coupled with the slope of the mountain, a stone rock was faintly formed, as long as he could squat inside, he would never be hit by the falling snow.

The mountain below the stone rock is relatively steep, and the snow cannot be piled up at all after it falls, even if the whole stone rock is sealed, it is only a thin layer, and it can be pushed down with just a gentle push, and people can come out; However, what Zhao Ziqing didn't think about was that Du San, who was still riding on a horse, could have ridden away directly after discovering the danger on the peak, but he didn't do that.

He turned around and found that Zhao Ziqing had fallen off the horse, and without hesitation for half a second, he immediately turned over and got off the horse and rushed towards Zhao Ziqing, just when Zhao Ziqing was about to run to the stone wall, he reached out and picked her up, and then ran down the mountain as fast as he could.

- Why do you want me to bury you? For a moment, Zhao Ziqing only felt that his mind was blank.

Du San's strength was so great that she didn't have any chance to struggle at all, and at this time, she didn't have time to explain anything to him. Because the snow tide is already very close.

But after all, she used to be a senior officer with experience in battlefield command in the information age, the more critical the moment, the more calm she became, after a second of brain short-circuit, she decisively rolled up her left sleeve, exposed the bracelet, the moment the mind was activated, the space helmet had been taken out, skillfully put on her head, and quickly buckled it.

At this time, Du San couldn't care about being surprised at how Zhao Ziqing suddenly had such a strange thing on his head, listening to the roar behind him, it was getting louder and louder, and the strong wind had already blown on his body.

Realizing that he couldn't escape, Du San suddenly put Zhao Ziqing on the ground, and then pounced on it himself, protecting her tightly under him.

On the surface, this move seems to be very moving, but Zhao Ziqing screamed bitterly in her heart, because she knew that in this case, this kind of protection would not play any role at all, she was wearing high-strength body armor and a space helmet on her upper body, ordinary stones and collisions could not hurt her at all, and the only thing she wanted to protect now was her lower body; The most correct posture is to curl yourself up and wrap your hands tightly around your knees.

However, with his protection like this, this action could not be completed, Zhao Ziqing just wanted to push him away, but the torrent of snow had already washed down, drowning them in an instant; For a while, it was dark and the earth turned upside down, and they became part of the torrent.

Zhao Ziqing screamed and stuck in his throat, and he didn't know how many times he tumbled with the torrent and how many times he collided, in short, he was caught in the torrent, and he couldn't tell the difference between east and west, north and south.

Zhao Ziqing felt that her body might be torn apart by the torrent at any time, but she couldn't do anything but resign herself to fate. It had been a century — only a minute or two, in fact, that her body shook and stopped, but she could still feel the torrent of snow around her, probably hit something and get stuck.

Zhao Ziqing knew that this was already the safest at the moment, so she didn't dare to move at all, everything could only wait for the snow flow to stop, and it was dark in front of her at this time, and she couldn't see anything buried in the snowdrift, but fortunately, she could still breathe through the space helmet, and she shouldn't be buried very deep.

After waiting quietly for about a minute or two, the snow flow finally stopped gradually, Zhao Ziqing felt that there was no movement around him, so he wanted to get up, but he tried it, but he couldn't move at all, and the snow around him was as heavy as a mountain.

- It's over, is it buried very deeply? Zhao Ziqing felt a little uneasy in her heart, and after thinking about it, with the dexterity of her arm, the obstacle would not be so big, and she tried to adjust the position of her palm slightly, and then pushed hard.

Feeling the snow pressing on his body loosen slightly, Zhao Ziqing suddenly breathed a sigh of relief - it didn't seem to be very deep.

Then she used the same method a few more times, and her body had already risen more than a foot high, and now her other hand could also borrow strength, and with both hands together, her head quickly broke through the snow.

After taking a breath of fresh air, Zhao Ziqing used his hands and legs for a while, and soon struggled out of the snow, and looked around, and found that this was a mountain tree, the slope was not very steep, and a big tree next to her was going straight to the sky, and it was precisely because of this tree that she did not continue to roll down the mountain.

However, she didn't see Du San's figure.
