The two never spoke again after a few words of 'greeting', and the black bear always squinted at Chen Ni, but the other party either didn't squint or leaned against the car window to sleep or play with his mobile phone, and didn't even look at him. The black bear frowned and pouted in frustration, stepped on the accelerator as if to vent his anger, and the car scurried forward like an out-of-control bull. I looked ahead with trepidation, and said that fortunately there were no cars on the road, and the car was in good condition, otherwise it was really possible to die before I could get started.

Ten minutes later, we drove out of the highway along the snake-like spiral and winding road and drove towards the urban area of Mohe County. Wang Zhen looked at the low, half-new village and the signboard with Northeast characteristics on the side of the road, and sighed: "There is no difference between here and the county seat over there, it is nothing more than a little more Northeast accent and a big cotton jacket - I thought it would be dizzying along the way, but I didn't expect that even the paving stones looked like they were produced in the North China Plain." ”

The black bear laughed a few times and said contemptuously: "At first glance, I haven't been to the Great Northeast, and the good show is still to come." You guys take a break from your eyes for a while, and then I will pass through the county town, and when I come to the intersection of Mobei Highway and that road, it will really be served. ”

I couldn't help but feel a little itchy and anticipating it, rubbing my eyes and secretly guessing what I would see in a while. Zhang Siyuan couldn't help but turn on the camera in advance, straightened up and stared at the gray sky outside the window.

Maybe it was because of the snow, maybe it was because of the cold, and I didn't see a few people until we were about to leave the town. Only the half-new buildings standing under the light grey sky and the occasional tight tram speeding by reminded me that the city was not completely asleep, it was just accustomed to quiet.

The black bear, which had been fierce, suddenly calmed down when he was about to cross a bridge, uncharacteristically slowed down, and looked back a few times with words in his mouth, as if he was counting. He slowed down to cross the bridge, looked at the thick ice on both sides and said, "We have already driven into the Emur River Valley, and if we go further, we will really enter the dense forest." Everyone put their tricks on the spot and pricked up their ears. I have been told to protect you, and I don't want to fail the task. ”

I was dumbfounded, glancing at the crystal clear, stretching of the ice, and then turning my head back to glance at the three or four cars of different colors and sizes following closely behind. Suddenly, an invisible syringe was inserted into my heart, draining all the excitement and other good feelings of coming to the new world, and injecting a tube full of black invisible potions before I was ready.

Although it was only half past four in the afternoon, the sky was already dark and seemed to be covered with a black veil. Large, heavy cumulus clouds pressed overhead, and on both sides of the path were densely lined with larch, birch, and aspen, looking at us condescendingly, pointing at us with branches that had fallen a layer of snow.

The depths of the forest are so dark that you can't see anything even with a flashlight. Occasionally, a few large birds whose names were unknown swept past the windows of the car and let out a long, mournful cry. The small river hidden in the forest has turned into a large piece of clear ice, and the ice is covered with white and delicate snow like a girl's skin, and if you don't look closely, you don't know that there is a long and thin river hidden inside.

There were too many obstacles on the road, snow and ravines, and even huge tree trunks that had fallen. The black bear was sweating on his forehead, twisting the steering wheel so hard that the body became extremely bumpy, and on a few occasions my head even hit the roof of the car. I don't know if it was my delusion or what's going on, but in the violent turbulence, I clearly saw a pair of eyes hidden in the depths of the dense forest.

Zhang Siyuan no longer had Yaxing to take pictures, he firmly grasped the seat, didn't look at the beautiful scenery outside, and only asked: "How long is it to arrive?" ”

I saw that his face was pale, and I thought to myself, this guy is afraid that he is a little sick. I touched him lightly, pointed to the water in my bag, and asked, "Motion sickness?" Do I have medicine here, should I take it? ”

He frowned, gripped the handrail and said, "No need." Lao Tzu almost never gets motion sickness, why did he overturn the car here today - black bear, don't patronize driving, quickly tell me how long it will be before I arrive. ”

The black bear ignored him, craned his neck, and stared intently ahead with a pair of small green bean-like eyes, only twisting the steering wheel. Zhang Siyuan held his breath and stared at him quietly for a few minutes, and finally broke out impatiently, shouting, "Didn't you hear what I asked you?" The traffic laws don't say don't let you talk when driving, aren't you afraid that I will spit in your car? ”

Before he could finish his words, the black bear suddenly slammed on the brakes. Wang Linshuo, who was leaning over, was almost turned on the co-pilot by him, frowning and his lips moved, as if he was scolding. I see that the black bear has a gloomy face and a bad heart, this guy's personality is a little violent and elusive, he won't get angry because of a few words, right?

The atmosphere in the car fell silent. The black bear glanced at Chen Ni, who was expressionless, wrapped up his clothes, took a deep breath and opened the car door. The cold air with ice slag swept into the warm car, all my pores instantly tightened, my teeth chattered, I grabbed my down jacket, and my eyes moved with the bulky black bear.

He looked cautiously, pulled out the pistol at his waist, took a few steps back, and clapped his hands tentatively—before the echo fell, two black human heads emerged from behind a giant tree at the end of his vision. My heart tightened, I straightened up and stretched my neck to look out, but I saw that the black bear's body was loose, and I beckoned, "I have finally found a place." You are hiding so secretly, come out and speak. ”

The two unkempt, stubbled beards, with snow on their clothes and hair, shrunk back from behind the tree like savages. One of the taller ones, wrapped in a padded jacket, sighed, "You're not slow to come, but we're still waiting." By the way, Zhang Xuan brought it, right? ”

He nodded, and I said in my heart that this was probably Uncle Lu's men, and he opened the door tremblingly and smiled at them: "Hello everyone, I am Zhang Xuan." ”

The two of them squeezed out a frozen smile, and the shorter one walked to the car door and stretched out his hand to me: "Uncle Lu has mentioned you to us many times, I used to fantasize about your appearance, and when I saw it today, it was much more handsome than I imagined." ”

I said in my heart that this person is quite good at saying beautiful things, but the last thing that Lao Tzu is afraid of is flattery. I politely stretched out my hand and shook his hand, and asked straight to the point, "Do you know Uncle Lu's situation now?" When are we going to go in? ”

The shorter one opened his mouth and didn't speak. The slightly taller man sighed: "I don't know the specific situation, several people who escaped from the forest last night were injured all over their bodies, and they have been sent to the hospital." I heard them say that it was very dangerous inside, but it was not particularly dangerous, and I couldn't understand what that meant. He turned back and pointed behind the tree, "We dug a snow cave there, and there are two other people in the hole, and the four of us are responsible for receiving and supplying supplies." Personally, I recommend that you rest in the snow cave for one night before you go, because it is about to snow, and second, it is getting dark, and the forest will be very dangerous after dark, and many animals or anything that you can't see during the day will come out to hunt. ”

Although I am anxious, I am also afraid of the cold and the unknown, and sleeping for a few hours in the dark and cold forest is the thing I hate the most. The black bear looked back at his subordinates who came out of the car one after another, and frowned: "It's also necessary to rest for one night, but I have too many people, I'm afraid you can't squeeze in the snow cave." ”

The other party shook his head indifferently: "This is easy to say, just dig one on the spot." ”

They led us to the back of the tree through the snow, and a rough, dirty hole about two meters in diameter was exposed. Wang Linshuo looked at the original building made of snow and said, "This is a bit like the snow house where the Kismos live." ”

The taller one shouted into the hole, and a woman's head was immediately exposed. I was slightly surprised, but I didn't expect that there were many female guys in Uncle Lu's team. But this one is not at all as delicate and delicate as Li Qingling and Chen Ni, her face is like a flatbread, or sprinkled with sesame seeds and green onions-she also speaks in a rough voice, like a duck calling: "This is a newcomer here?" ”

Wang Zhen frowned without a trace, and the slightly taller man nodded: "Yes, don't just nest inside, there are a lot of people at once, hurry up and come out to teach them to dig snow holes." ”

She slowly grabbed the shovel and crawled out, I don't know if she was wearing too much or she was fat, her clothes were wrapped around her and she looked five big and three thick, with broad shoulders and a round waist. She smiled at the four of us in a thick voice and introduced, "You can just call me Sister Liu." ”

I said in my heart that your name is very different from you, how can Xiliu be worthy of you, it should be called Sister Xiong. Zhang Siyuan obviously didn't want to talk nonsense with her, and squeezed out a smile: "Sister Liu is good." It's a cold day, let's stop greetings, you can teach us how to dig a hole first. ”

She was quite heroic, grabbed the shovel and bent down to work. I meant for her to teach us, but I don't know if she was fascinated by our beauty or what's going on, a rudimentary hole has appeared in the snow shovel and flying, and she's still digging deeper. Wang Zhen couldn't help and wanted to help, but she stopped him: "Don't do it." You don't know how to dig, what if the shot is not real, and it collapses in the middle of the night? ”
