We passed the Xing'an Mountains, imprinted in front of us is a large plain, this large plain is vast, the grass at this time, has withered yellow, but it is still magnificent, some nomadic people in the distance, riding horses to drive the sheep there, walking slowly, farther away is the sky, is the blue sky, white clouds, looks low, and even blends with the sheep. We were in a good mood, running and jumping on the prairie, and sleeping on the prairie when we were tired of jumping.

Eilechuan, under the Yin Mountain, the sky is like a dome, covering the four fields. The sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep. The poem's description of the grassland is so apt, that we are jumping there, and the people who lead us are smiling and looking at each other, as if they have nothing to be excited about. When we got here, the people who led us the way can be regarded as having completed their merits, we have made enough trouble, Cui Yujuan took out more than a dozen oceans and gave them to those who led us the way, and those people said goodbye to us happily. After they left, we were ready to continue walking, but soon we appreciated the power of the grassland, the prairie is boundless, but the barrier is lost, the wind of the grassland began to rage, the wind is different from the wind of our house, like a knife, with a strange whirring sound, it is because of the wind on the grassland, on the grassland, tall trees can not grow, only these low grasses can grow.

We had to keep our necks very low, and then brave the wind and walked forward, and when it was almost evening, we had not seen anyone, and the herding people did not know where they were, and the northeast was vast and sparsely populated, but compared to the Mongolian steppes, it was nothing at all. In the wolf's cave, our bullets were used up cleanly, because when we left, we didn't ask Erhuzi for bullets, so the guns in our hands were completely burning sticks, without guns, we couldn't hunt, we couldn't catch wild things with our bare hands, we couldn't catch them at all, the animals on the grassland, than the animals in the woods, were more alert and ran faster.

In the low-lying area where we were, there were many small bushes, and we broke them off, and then we started to make a fire, and when the fire was warm, we sat down around the fire, and took out the dry and hard food, and roasted it on the fire, and then ate a few bites while it was hot and soft. After eating and drinking some water, we put on all the clothes in our backpacks and sat down on the roe deer skins, hoping that this would ward off the cold wind. Qinglian and I sat together, close together, since we escaped the wolves, our relationship was confirmed, and we didn't have to worry about others anymore. The two of us sat there, adding wood to the fire, and after a long time there was no sound, and I looked to the side, and saw that everyone else was asleep wrapped in blankets, and we were afraid that we would all be freezing, so we added a lot of sticks to the fire.

At this time, the wind on the grassland was stronger, the whistling north wind, with a whistle, the temperature dropped lower and lower, I said to Qinglian: "Qinglian, you hurry up and sleep for a while." ”

Qinglian shook his head and said, "Zhendong, will you go to sleep?" ”

I said, "It's too cold here at night, I can't sleep, I have to watch the fire for everyone, you listen to the wind, this is called snow thunder in our house, and when it blows like this, it usually has to snow." ”

Qinglian said: "It's only the end of September, it won't snow, right?" ”

I said, "It's hard to say, it's a nonsense here, I've heard that it may snow here in August." ”

Mao Qinglian said: "There is indeed such a saying, I remember that the poem said this, the north wind swept the white grass and folded, and the snow flew in August. Suddenly, like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloom. Scattered into the bead curtain wet curtain, the fox fur is not warm and thin. The general's horn bow is uncontrollable, and it is difficult to protect the iron clothes. The sea is dry and icy, and the gloomy clouds are bleak and condensed. I can't remember what else is down there. ”

I nodded, looked at Mao Qinglian beside me, and felt an urge to hug her, at that time, there was no impulse is the word devil, but in my heart, I was already distracted, Mao Qinglian looked at me, and then lowered his head and said: "Zhendong, it's cold in the wind, you can hold me, it's warmer." ”

This is really unbelievable, I quickly put the Qinglian in my arms, it is really warm, I feel my heart began to pound, all over the body is full of heat, the Qinglian buried his head in my arms, the two of us sat in front of the fire, whispering, although the weather is cold at this time, but I have a feeling like a spring breeze, a lot of things are sprinkled from the sky, with the wind blowing on our bodies, it is snow, it is really snowing.

We don't care about the snow, the two of us whispered, snuggled up to each other in the snow, the wind carried the snowflakes, like a flying butterfly, those snowflakes fell in the fire, and disappeared without a trace, slowly the snow became bigger, and suddenly Qinglian said: "It's broken, something big is going to happen." ”

I said, "What's wrong?" ”

Mao Qinglian said: "Other people will freeze if they sleep in the snow like this. ”

I looked back at this time, only to see that the ground was already white, afraid that everyone would be broken, we quickly called everyone up, after everyone got up, knowing that it was snowing, they all gathered together, wrapped in robes and leather blankets, everyone did not dare to sleep anymore, sat there and chatted. Finally arrived at dawn, after dawn, we were dumbfounded, yesterday was still an endless prairie, the wind and grass moved, beautiful. It's snowy now, and I can't find any direction. Fortunately, we can see the Xing'an Mountains, as long as we follow the side of the Xing'an Mountains, we should not get lost.

Nibbled a few mouthfuls of dry food, continue to hurry, if we don't go, just wait here, sooner or later will be starved to death or frozen to death, walking in the snow, walking is a little difficult, we dare not have the slightest stay, gritting our teeth to go forward, this walk is a day, to find a place to live in the evening, the next day to continue walking, this day the sun is shining, much better than the day before yesterday, the weather does not seem to be so cold, but in the afternoon we found that our eyes are wrong, the eyes are red and swollen, tears flow vigorously, open our eyes to see things, you will feel a tingling pain, and the surrounding scene will become blurred.

At first, we didn't pay attention to it, but it was only later that Qinglian remembered that it was snow blindness, a condition of temporary blindness caused by the stimulation of the retina of the eye by bright light. Usually after a few days of rest, vision will return on its own. People who have had snow blindness will get snow blindness again if they don't pay attention. Snow blindness can be more severe, so don't be careless. Repeated snow blindness gradually weakens people's eyesight, causing long-term eye diseases, and even permanent blindness in severe cases.

However, Qinglian didn't have any medicine, and we didn't take it seriously at the time, but our eyes were red and swollen, and we thought it would be good to take a break, but on the third day, this situation was even worse, we were in the vast snow, squinting and walking forward, this grassland with our eyes open is useless, and squinting is even more troublesome. We got lost and wanted to take Xing'anling as a benchmark, but our eyes were like blind, as long as we opened our eyes a little wider, we couldn't stand it directly.

We walked aimlessly, in this case, in the same place that is waiting for death, the dry food on the body is gone, this hunger and cold both hit, so that we can not adapt, gradually a little unable to hold on, is walking, suddenly plopped, we turned back and squinted to see, it turned out that Luo Xihan fell to the ground, we hurriedly went up to help Luo Xihan, Luo Xihan said there: "Don't help me, go on like this, sooner or later it will be a death, since it is all death, I will not go, just wait here for death." ”

Mao Qinglian said: "Xihan, we will definitely be able to go out, and if we hold on for a while, maybe there will be someone." ”

Luo Xihan said: "Sister, in the past three days, you have said it hundreds of times, but we haven't even seen a ghost, our dry food has been eaten in the morning, and now I am hungry and cold, we just insisted on tonight, and we will freeze to death here tomorrow." ”

I said, "Xihan, don't be angry, we will definitely be able to get out, do you remember?" Ginseng can keep out the cold, you first get some ginseng to eat, to resist the cold, I'll go over there and take a look, see if there is anyone. ”

As I spoke, I stood up and let everyone rest, and I went to explore the way. Mao Qinglian asked me to be careful, I nodded, used the gun as a stick, and walked forward slowly, at this time there was snow all around, we encountered a big snowstorm, three days, the snow has not yet melted, I walked and walked, suddenly my gun fell down, and then the body lost balance, directly bought and fell to the ground, on the ground has not yet come to the hurry, the body grunted and rolled down, this time I don't know where I fell.
