Chapter 8: Nightmares

I exchanged glances with Wang Linshuo, and he pointed to Zhang Siyuan in the sleeping bag and said, "We have a wounded man here, and I have to stay and take care of him." ”

Black Bear's subordinates nodded: "Yes, but the others must have a past that does not fall." ”

Wang Zhen puffed out his cigarette and stood up, motioning for us to get up and walk. Chen Ni's face was pale, wrapped tightly in her padded jacket, she staggered to her feet but did not stand firmly, and she stumbled backwards, thanks to which I grabbed her wrist in time to avoid falling. The black bear's hand looked at her expressionlessly, and walked out silently.

I pulled my snow-stained legs out of the snowdrift, nodded to the black bear who was sitting at the entrance of the cave with his head in his hands, and smoked, and said cautiously, "People can't be resurrected from death, so mourn ......."

He raised his voice and interrupted me impatiently, "Don't tell me this useless, I didn't call you here to comfort me. I ask you, did you hear or see anything before I found the dead yelling? ”

I suddenly remembered the strange sound in the darkness, and I couldn't help but shudder slightly, and after looking around vigilantly, I said, "I am sleeping, but I hear the terrible cries of birds in the woods and the strange sound of heavy objects falling on the top of the snow cave. I was worried that a heavy object would collapse the snow cave, and I was about to go out to look when I suddenly heard you scream. ”

Wang Zhen glared and opened his mouth, showing a surprised expression, while the black bear frowned tightly, rubbed his temples and scolded fiercely: "Damn, why didn't I hear anything?" I rolled over in my sleep, and my hand inadvertently touched a cold object, and when I woke up suddenly, I found that his body was as cold as a block of ice...... "His eyes suddenly burst out, his eyes were red, and he glared at me fiercely and roared: "Why didn't you wake everyone up when you first heard the movement?" ”

I was a little annoyed, and I spread my hands blankly and said, "What's the use of you blaming me?" Isn't there a guard over there, and he hasn't noticed anything? ”

The black bear lowered his head as if he had been punched, and after a long time he whispered, "He sat at the entrance of the cave and fell asleep." ”

I snorted coldly in my heart, Wang Zhen grabbed my shoulders, stared at me in surprise, and his face was full of puzzlement: "Why didn't I hear any sound?" Is that loud or not? ”

I recalled: "It was quite big, especially the sound of the heavy object falling on the snow cave, which almost scared me. ”

The black bear clenched his fists: "Impossible, why didn't my men and I hear anything?" Your hole is a little far away from us, and the sound of things falling may not be audible, but why don't I hear the birds at all? I can't sleep well at all when I sleep here. There were also people from Yangliu's side, and they were even more outrageous, they didn't even hear my scream......" He suddenly remembered something, and raised his head quickly, "Have you checked the entrance to the cave, could there be something hidden in the snow?" ”

I shook my head: "The snow at the entrance of the cave is almost flattened by us, and if anything, it has already been discovered." I suspect the culprit has fled into the woods, but the snow is so deep and it's dark, it's not safe to go and see it. ”

The black bear whispered, "I've sent people to look around the forest, and they haven't found anything. Forget it, I can't talk about it after analyzing it here, so go back, and don't close your eyes until dawn. Also, I heard that your companion was injured? ”

Wang Zhen sighed: "Fortunately, we found it early. He's somehow out of his sleeping bag, like your men, and he's lying on a snowdrift in a thin sweater, and we didn't notice anything wrong when we left......"

The black bear's eyes lit up, and he stood up: "Hurry up and go back to take care of it, he must know something." ”

When we returned to the entrance of the cave and patted the snow on our pants, Zhang Siyuan, who had been motionless, suddenly trembled. My heart lifted at once, and I hurried to him. He rolled over, slowly opened his eyes, rolled his eyes blankly, glanced at us a few times and looked at the thick sleeping bag on his body, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Wang Zhen almost pounced on him, his eyes stared at him firmly, and said eagerly: "How do you feel?" ”

He said in a viscous tone when he first woke up, "It feels a little hot." Is there something wrong with my face, why are you all looking at me as a sheep with wolf eyes? ”

I rolled my eyes, and at the same time relieved myself, and the fact that I could still say witty things proved that I was okay. I snorted coldly and said, "Are you pretending to be stupid or are you really stupid, don't you know what happened just now?" ”

Zhang Siyuan's eyes changed, he hurriedly struggled, and stared at us with a serious face: "I really don't know." All I remember was a terrible nightmare in which I felt like I was buried in the snow, and I almost froze to death in my hands and feet. Later, it seemed that someone had scooped me up and rubbed my limbs, and I felt a little warmth, but my brain was still groggy and couldn't wake up. Why are you all dressed up? Why are you wrapping me so much? ”

Wang Linshuo's face sank instantly, stared at Zhang Siyuan directly, and asked word by word, "You really didn't hear anything?" Really have been sleeping until now? ”

Zhang Siyuan became nervous, looked at us with serious faces, lifted the sleeping bag and said in a panic: "I really slept until now!" Why did you all get up, what happened, did anyone die? ”

I thought to myself, this guy is really a crow's mouth, and he guessed so accurately. Wang Zhen frowned, and his eyes shot a suspicious light: "How is it possible...... There was an accident on the black bear's side, and one person died. He froze to death, and like you, somehow got out of his sleeping bag. But he's worse than you, you're wearing a thin sweater, and he's lying almost naked on the snow. ”

Zhang Siyuan's face turned pale, his hands began to tremble slightly, and his tone became stiff: "How, how is it possible?" Could it be that my frozen and shrunken dream is based on reality? If you had found me any later, maybe I'd have ended up with that man. ”

He shivered, fine cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his hands covered his heart and his chest continued to rise. I calmed down a few words, and then roughly explained what happened, ignoring Zhang Siyuan's constantly widening eyes and a series of exclamations, and sighed: "Now I don't know what's going on, I wanted to wait for you to wake up and ask you, but you said that you just had a nightmare and didn't know anything." ”

Zhang Siyuan rubbed his chin and said, "At the beginning, I slept very soundly, and my dreams were also sweet dreams. But I seemed to wake up once in between, with your even snoring in my ears and darkness in front of me. I didn't think anything of it, turned over and went back to sleep, but this time it wasn't a peaceful dream. I began to have a series of jumble dreams that I could no longer remember, and all I remember now is that I felt as if I had been tied up and roasted on a fire, and as if I was climbing over a mountain of flames...... All in all, it was so hot that I had to crawl out of my sleeping bag to get some air. ”

Wang Zhen frowned and said, "Isn't it, the temperature of minus twenty or thirty degrees didn't wake you up?" ”

Zhang Siyuan smiled embarrassedly and wrapped his sleeping bag tightly. For the next few hours, no one closed their eyes, and everyone kept telling meat jokes and jokes to liven up the atmosphere. But every time the laughter falls and the cold wind rises, endless fear and panic roll in my heart. At this time, I finally understood why Uncle Lu and Hu San's team suffered heavy losses, and I also knew that the road ahead was much more difficult than before, and I had to work up one hundred and twenty points of spirit, otherwise I would never be able to return to my familiar land. I managed to fight until the sun rose, and when I looked back at everyone, they were all pale, their eyes were blank, and the huge dark circles under my eyes were about to fall on my cheeks.

The black bear staggered to the entrance of the cave, and was about to speak when he caught a glimpse of Zhang Siyuan. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he stepped to the entrance of the cave in one step, clamped Zhang Siyuan's shoulder with a big hand like iron tongs, and asked eagerly, "What happened?" ”

Zhang Siyuan's expression changed, pushed his hand away, and frowned: "Are you always so rude to people?" Nothing happened, it was just a nightmare. ”

The black bear was angry and anxious, his face was red, and when he was about to get angry, he was stopped by Wang Linshuo and Wang Zhen, and he talked a lot about it to make him understand what was going on. He beat his chest and paused, looked at Zhang Siyuan suspiciously, his eyes didn't roll, and it took a long time before he lowered his head and said, "Clean up, and set off in half an hour." ”

I looked at the departing back of the black bear and found that I was becoming less and less impressed by him. Rude, impatient, reckless...... Although these labels are somewhat compatible with Wang Zhen I met a few months ago, after training, Wang Zhen is much more careful and cautious than him, not to mention that Wang Zhen is several degrees more handsome than him.

Zhang Siyuan rubbed his shoulders and said dissatisfiedly: "What kind of person, when you come up, you will move your hands and feet, and you want to fight?" Lao Tzu didn't do it for the sake of long-term peace and harmony, otherwise he would definitely greet him with his fists and feet. With the speed and power of my punches. It's only a matter of minutes to swell his eyes. ”

Wang Linshuo and I rolled our eyes in unison, stood up and packed up our things to get ready to go. Chen Ni didn't say a word, squatting in the corner with a pale face, his eyes were blank, and he didn't know if he was frightened or what was going on.
