Chapter 7: Can't Wake Up

I stood up suddenly, glanced at Zhang Siyuan, whose eyes were closed and his face was pale, and said, "I'll go with you." ”

I grabbed my padded jacket, wrapped it in a cold sweat, clenched my gun, and Wang Zhen stepped out of the snow cave one after the other. We turned the flashlight to the brightest and hurriedly moved it deeper into the woods, not even to the top of the birch tree, but there was nothing in sight but snow and bare branches. I was anxious, and while tremblingly calling Chen Ni's name, I trudged through the snowdrift with one foot deep and one foot shallow, my feet were as soft as stepping on cotton, and I had to exert great strength to stand firm.

Wang Zhen stared at the knee-deep snow, stretched out his hand and dug a few deeper, and said worriedly: "If there is a person hidden here, I can't see it at all...... You go to Sister Liu to ask for a shovel, let's try to dig it. ”

My heart plummeted, and while secretly praying, I walked to Sister Liu's snow cave nervously, and said uneasily: There was such a big commotion on the black bear's side just now, but they didn't seem to hear it at all, and they didn't send anyone out to see, could it be ......

I took a deep breath, stroked my heart, and turned on my flashlight to shine inside. One, two, three, four. The four sleeping bags were bulging, and black hair was also showing from the mouth of the sleeping bags. It seems that the number of people is still right, but it is difficult to say whether it is life or death. I took a few steps into the cave and screamed a few times. The dry sound echoed through the hole, and the noise gave me a headache, but the four sleeping bags didn't even move.

Wang Zhen didn't know when he arrived at the entrance of the cave, and he said with an anxious face: "I didn't find anything - what about them?" ”

I didn't speak, gritted my teeth and walked over to the nearest sleeping bag, and opened my mouth, revealing the face of the shorter one. He was not as pale and different as I had imagined, but rather rosy, with an even snort and eyeballs rolling under his eyelids, indicating that he was immersed in a sweet dream.

I gasped and called out to Wang Zhen in surprise: "You come and check the other sleeping bags." This guy slept so soundly, something was wrong, I had to give him a check-up. ”

I touched his head, he didn't have a fever, his temperature was normal, and there were no obvious wounds on his body. With a frown, a little panicked, I carefully tightened the cuffs of my thick gloves, pulled out my gun, and slowly unzipped my sleeping bag.

I was ready to see a monster or a viper, but there was nothing in my sleeping bag but his unmistakable body. I went out of my way to touch his whole body and found that there were no strange animals mixed in his clothes. I was about to ask Wang Zhen about the progress on his side, but I heard him suddenly let out a low voice, his voice full of fear and surprise.

I hurriedly turned my head, and Chen Ni's slightly undulating chest and white purple lips met my eyes.

Wang Zhenyuan stared at me in disbelief, pointed at her, and said, "How could she come here?" And got into Sister Liu's sleeping bag? I didn't even hear footsteps or the sound of getting out of bed! ”

I could barely believe my eyes, so I quickly leaned over and patted her face vigorously. But she seemed to be in a coma, and no matter how much I moved her or made noise in my ear, or even ripped her eyelids open, she had no intention of waking up. If I hadn't been able to get her breath, I'd have thought she was dead.

Wang Zhen's face was gloomy, and he said in a low voice: "These four people are like this, no matter how much they toss, they can't wake up." There are no wounds on his body, how can he be unconscious...... If you pinch her and try it, remember to be ruthless. ”

Without thinking much about it, I took off my gloves, held my chin with four fingers, and pinched my thumb hard - she still didn't respond. I glanced at Wang Zhen as if asking for help, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Work harder." ”

I bit my lip and imagined my thumb as a nail sticking down. I don't know if my strength is in place or what's going on, this nail went down, she began to cough violently, and her eyes slowly opened.

Her blank eyes changed at the sight of our anxious faces, and she sat up sharply, panting and looking around. When she saw Sister Liu and the tall man beside her, her face became as white as paper, and she screamed irrepressibly: "How could I sleep under the same bed with her!" ”

Wang Zhen and I exchanged glances, and he leaned closer and stared at Chen Ni's eyes tightly: "If you don't know, then we don't know." Say, what's going on? ”

Chen Ni's eyes were scattered, her hair was messy, and she looked around in fear, her eyes full of confusion and horror. She shrunk into a ball, hugged herself tightly, stared at Sister Liu blankly, her mouth opened into a circle, and her body kept trembling. I saw that she was almost broken, and I couldn't bear it, maybe she really didn't know anything? You can't treat her as a person with a bad stomach like Li Qingling without understanding.

I crouched down beside her and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, I don't doubt you." At first something happened on the black bear's side, and when we got up to deal with it, we realized that you weren't in the snow cave. I searched in the snowdrift outside for a long time, but no one would have thought that you were hiding here, and you were still in a semi-comatose state, and it took several pinching to wake you up. ”

Wang Zhen sighed, and was about to turn his head to 'save' the others with his method, but was stopped by Chen Ni's trembling voice. She swayed to her feet, her face was pale and disheveled, and she trembled, "Can you wake them up when I go out?" ”

He nodded, "Yes." The snow is deep outside, so you have to be careful when you go back. ”

Wang Zhen and I woke up the four people together, and they were even deeper than Chen Ni in a coma, and they didn't slowly open their eyes until they were red. The reaction of everyone when they first woke up was the same, confused and overwhelmed. Sister Liu hugged the sleeping bag to her chest, shook her head again and again after listening carefully to our explanations, and said in disbelief: "How is it possible? I just felt a little sleepy, not fainted. I can guarantee that I still know my physical condition very well. But I didn't hear anything you said. ”

The tall man's face was solemn, he pulled open his sleeping bag and grabbed his padded jacket and was about to go out: "If that's the case, it's too serious, and no one wants to continue sleeping tonight." ”

The short man's face was full of suspicion, his eyes lingering on our faces, and he muttered, "How is that possible?" I didn't hear ...... at all."

There was also a thin, dark-skinned boy I had never seen before, huddled in the deepest part of the cave, shivering, his frightened gaze rolling around the faces of several of us, his mouth open but unable to make a sound.

Wang Zhen glanced at the suspicious short man and Sister Liu, stood up and said, "What do I mean by using this to lie to you?" It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, it really happened, and if you really doubt it, you can go to the black bear to see it. ”

I followed him out of the snow cave, and as I passed by the black bear's cave, I took a few peeks inside. The black bear was pale, and he sat at the entrance of the cave with his head in his hands and smoked, and several of his men and short men gathered around him and said something. I was a little curious, but I knew that now was not the time to join in the fun, and Zhang Siyuan, who was lying in the deepest part of the snow cave, was still uncertain.

The two of us hurriedly broke into the snow cave, and Wang Zhen asked without even breathing, "How is Siyuan?" ”

Wang Linshuo rubbed his limbs and said, "It's definitely okay to save his life, but his hands and feet are a little purple and swollen, and I'm worried that he will be completely frozen." But I've been rubbing it for a while, plus a few sleeping bags and cotton clothes wrapped around him, it shouldn't be a problem. You see, his face is now a little bloody. ”

I reached out and probed it, feeling the warmth in my fingertips before I breathed a sigh of relief. Wang Zhen looked at it carefully, his body relaxed, and sighed: "I'm finally a little angry, my face is uglier than a ghost just now." ”

At this time, I felt that my legs were sore and my feet were weak, and I couldn't help but sit on the ground, trying to stand up but no longer had the strength. I looked up at my watch, and it was 3:20 in the morning. The wind outside was a little more raging, whistling in mid-air, blowing cold and fear into the cracks of people's bones. Chen Ni leaned against Zhang Siyuan's sleeping bag, sitting with his knees crossed, his eyes blank, not knowing what he was thinking. I wanted to stand up and go to the black bear to take a look, but my legs were as soft as if they had been sucked into the bones, and I didn't know if they were frozen or scared. I had to suppress my curiosity for a while and take a break.

Wang Zhen lit a cigarette and asked Chen Ni, "You can't sleepwalk to that hole, right?" ”

She forced her fear: "I've never sleepwalked, and it's impossible for an unexpected situation to suddenly happen today." I only remember that before going to bed, I had Zhang Siyuan on my left and a snow wall on my right. Because I always like to move around when I sleep, I also deliberately closed the zipper tighter. How could it be ......"

Wang Linshuo frowned and said, "You really fell asleep, not fainted?" ”

Chen Ni glanced at us in fear, shook his head, and said, "I'm really asleep." I have a memory, I was still dreaming before I woke up, but there was something strange about this dream, like a dream within a dream in a novel. ”

I wondered, "A dream within a dream? Did you wake up from a dream and find yourself still in another dream? ”

She nodded, and was about to speak, when suddenly there was the sound of footsteps at the entrance of the cave. I looked up alertly and saw that the visitor had an unfamiliar face. His eyes were red, and he whispered, "I'm from the black bear's side, and our boss called you over." ”
