Zhang Siyuan held the gun in one hand, grasped the trunk of the tree with the other, and his body was tightly attached to the back of the tree, and he poked out half of his head with great nervousness. He squinted his eyes and poked his neck, patted the flashlight in his hand angrily, and cursed in a low voice: "This flashlight is bad at this juncture, it is too dark in the woods to see anything clearly." Even with my eyesight, I could only see a black patch. ”

The sun had been swallowed up by a thick black fog, and the whole forest was in pitch black, as if it was tightly enveloped by a black cloth. In the usual schedule, I would have been able to sleep in a warm sleeping bag for another hour or so, but now I could only starve and freeze, staring at the darkness with terrified eyes.

I put my fingers in front of my mouth, signaled Zhang Siyuan to be silent, pressed my extremely noisy chest, and pricked up my ears to catch every sound. The silence in the forest was terrible, not to mention the sound of footsteps and crackling, I could not even hear the faint sound of insects chirping and rustling, and all that was left in my ears was the heavy heartbeat and nervous gasps.

Zhang Siyuan looked at the black fog again, frowned and squeezed his eyes and whispered, "Is it still ambushed somewhere?" ”

I warily lowered my body and shrunk into a ball, exposing only the barrel of a gun, and at the same time glancing back behind me, jot down the shortest escape route as far as I could see. I was about to pull down the bolt, but Zhang Siyuan held me down. He glanced at me worriedly, rolled his eyes, and said, "You better stop shooting." As far as your marksmanship goes, not to mention wasting bullets, it may even have the effect of angering people. Let me do it. ”

He didn't give me time to retort, and before he could finish speaking, he stomped his foot heavily and coughed loudly. This kind of noise, which is usually not a big sound, is placed here, and it is as earth-shattering as a firecracker exploding in the ears, and there is a faint echo in the mountains and forests that shake. In an instant, there was a response on the ice, and the sound of rustling and rubbing mixed with the sound of human footsteps slowly pressed towards our hiding place.

I tried to look forward, but I couldn't see anything. I was so angry and scared that I wanted to gouge out my eyeballs and throw them into the fog. Zhang Siyuan jumped up like a frightened rabbit, grabbed my arm and stepped back again and again, the sharp knife and gun were already ready to fire. I listened to the sound of squirming footsteps that were gradually approaching, and every pore in my body was tightening and trembling, and I trembled as I retreated: "You, what do you see?" ”

Zhang Siyuan's face did not have a trace of blood, he panicked, and almost hit the tree head-on several times. His voice trembled like a person who couldn't go up in the high notes: "There's nothing on the ice!" ”

When I heard this, I rang like a bell ringing in my ears, and when I looked back, the footsteps that were getting closer and closer suddenly disappeared. Zhang Siyuan and I looked at each other in horror, and he ran into the mountains and forests with his legs. I turned my head to look, and there was a dead silence behind me. Suddenly, my anger came up inexplicably, and my fear weakened a little, and I raised my gun and thought to myself, Lao Tzu is holding back the fire in his belly and has nowhere to go, whatever you are, sweep a shuttle first.

I raised my gun and slammed it twice at the guessed location, followed by a loud sound of trees falling to the ground. I grabbed my gun and fled in a panic, running for hundreds of meters before I gasped and looked back, but I still couldn't see anything, and my footsteps never sounded again.

Zhang Siyuan said breathlessly: "You, are you really accurate?" Why didn't I hear anything but the sound of the tree falling to the ground? Did you bring the black donkey's hooves, I think it's the ghosts who died here that are doing it. ”

I shook my head, and was about to speak, when suddenly there was a crisp sound of trees breaking and human footsteps behind me. The sound was almost against my back, and if I could see the perpetrator, he would be behind me!

The blood in my whole body was cold, and I let out an irrepressible roar, jumped up and fired a few random shots behind me, and rushed forward with my legs pouring in the air. But before he could run two steps, he hit a tree, and the pain instantly burned from his entire face, and hot liquid flowed out of his nose.

Zhang Siyuan, who was in a panic, was no better, he tripped over a branch and fell heavily to the ground, his face covered with snow. I rushed over and dragged him up, and the two of them stumbled forward with their hands outstretched. I didn't dare to look back and couldn't look back, my heart was in a mess, every cell was urging me to run, maybe my speed broke the world record.

I didn't stop until I reached the center of the woods, when the snow beneath my feet turned to a shallow layer. His throat felt like he was on fire, and the sweat slid down his forehead and fell to the ground, and the warm liquid came out of his nose and flowed into his mouth, salty, bitter and full of rust. But I didn't care about wiping it at all, so I grabbed Zhang Siyuan, who was holding on to the tree and panting, and panicked: "Did he follow?" ”

He looked up, blood running down from the top of his head, staining his cheeks red, and looking horrible as a person. He took a few steps forward, craned his neck and said, "No, I didn't see anything." Do you think it's brighter here than there? ”

I looked up and wondered, "That's true, I can see the trees ten meters away from me." There I couldn't even see what was in front of me, as if my eyes were covered with a black cloth. ”

Zhang Siyuan walked in other directions, stretched his neck vigilantly again, and only breathed a sigh of relief for a while, leaned against the tree as if he had been drained of strength, wiped the blood on his face and said dejectedly: "Do you say we can still go out?" ”

When I relaxed, I felt a sharp pain in my face and a tiredness in my body. I wiped my nosebleed, spat out a fragment of a tooth from my mouth, and grinned, "If you can't do it, I'll rest here first, and then I'll look for a way out carefully when it's dawn tomorrow." The question now is how to survive the night. ”

He nodded, took out the medicine and gauze from his bag and gave it to me: "You better wipe the blood before talking, you see that your nose is blue and your face is swollen like a pig's head, and you are really scary to see your face covered with blood in the dark." ”

I gasped and wiped my blood as I sneered, "You can look at your own image before you speak." ”

The two of us sat under the tree, gritted our teeth, drugged ourselves and bandaged them briefly, and then folded our arms and trembled. It was too cold, and when the sun lost its brilliance and the sky and the earth were filled with foggy darkness, the cold also drove away the little heat left by the day, and quickly burrowed into the clothes, hugging every pore. The sweat from the vigorous exercise just now turned into cold sweat, sticking to the clothes and skin, sticky and uncomfortable. My whole face and hands were red and thick like carrots, stiff, numb, and unconscious, and I couldn't warm them up with a mask and gloves.

Zhang Siyuan's upper and lower teeth began to fight, and the squeaks were irritating. He curled up into a ball, pressed his gloves against his face, and complained, "If someone were to stand here undressed, his blood would freeze in less than an hour, and his eyes would be frozen and he would not be able to spin." This is definitely not a place for people to stay, the thief is cold, and I am afraid that I can pee. Now I really fucking miss the warm bed and roast chicken at home. ”

I laughed: "Are you on a hook with roast chicken?" How many times have you said you want to eat roast chicken in just a few days after coming here. Anyway, we won't be able to act for a while, so let's dig a snow cave and rest for the night. You don't have a sleeping bag in your bag, do you? ”

He shook his head in frustration: "It's good to have." All these necessities are on the black bear's side. He took out a shovel and threw it to me, "We only have one shovel, you dig for half an hour first, and I'll take over your shift later." ”

The two of us endured the pain of the wound and the soreness of our legs, and dug a small crooked hole in the snow. Zhang Siyuan couldn't wait to get into it with his bag, squatted on the ground and hugged himself, sighed and said, "It's finally warmer than outside." ”

I sat down next to him and spread my hands and said, "But it wasn't warm in my sleeping bag either." Let's take turns to keep vigil tonight, sleep alone for an hour, or tomorrow you really don't have the energy to walk. ”

He was a little hesitant: "If you sleep in such a cold place, will you not wake up when you fall asleep?" ”

I sighed, "No, do you think you're a sentient animal?" I'm sure you'll wake up from the cold—I'll warn you again, don't fall asleep during the vigil, it's a lot more dangerous than before. ”

He snorted dumbly, and sat staring at the snow mixed with black soil. I wasn't in the mood to talk, so I closed my eyes and endured the pain and thought about my own business. When I was hazy and about to fall asleep, I suddenly heard him sigh faintly: "What do you say Ershuo and shaking are doing now?" ”

I rubbed my sleepy eyes and said, "Maybe I'm dreaming in my sleeping bag, maybe I'm hiding in the woods and shivering like us." Alas, I was so shocked and afraid that I didn't have time to worry about them this afternoon, and now that you mention it, it has inadvertently aroused a lot of things on my mind, and my heart is a little uncomfortable. ”

Zhang Siyuan stared at the snow and sighed: "Sure enough, people are the most sad when they are hungry and cold, and my nose is sour when I think about those messy things." This is too inconsistent with the two of us, Li Qingling and Chen Ni will cry and cry when they are in trouble. Quickly blow your nose, no one here sees it, and when you look up, you are a good man again. ”

I touched my frozen stiff nose: "I see that the person with snot and tears on his face is you, Lao Tzu's runny nose is because it is frozen." Stop messing with me, it's time for me to sleep. ”

He moved his body into the snow cave, wrapped his coat tightly and said, "You have closed your eyes for a long time, it's time to change me." Remember to call me in an hour, of course, if you are willing to do the work, Lei Feng stares for a few more hours, I have no objection. ”
