Chapter 788: Shelter

Around noon, when the fat man decided to sit on the ground and rest for a while because he was a little tired, he looked back and stood up happily again, and then shouted happily: "Old Gao, look, that ...... Is that the Halma River? ”

Gao Chao and Xinlan were both stopped by him, and the three of them looked into the distance, just below the distant mountains, it was a flat plain-like Mingtang area, and the Halma River was like a golden ribbon in the sun, flowing from the northeast direction, bending into the distance.

It's a beautiful view, but it's hard to relate to the life-and-death struggle a few hours ago, maybe humans themselves are the devil, and it's humans who bring those ugly things into the world.

Xinlan was a little stunned when she looked at this scene, she didn't move her gaze, but just asked beside Gao Chao, "Old Gao, do we want to know about that ancient tomb?" ”

Gao Chao nodded: "It's almost there, but it's not here yet." ”

The fat man looked back at Gao Chao, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Old Gao, you shouldn't be fooling us, don't you say that as long as you see the Halma River, it should be where the ancient tomb is located?" ”

Gao Chao said helplessly: "Yes, but this location is obviously not, because although we see the Halma River, we can't see the water and inlet of the Halma River here." ”

The fat man was stunned: "What is water and water mouth?" ”

Gao Chao glanced at his watch and said: "Let me briefly explain, the water is the specific location of the Halma River from which it comes, where it must be curved and long, presenting an auspicious situation, and the water mouth is just the opposite, it is the location from which the Halma River will flow out of this hall, and the water mouth is very important, the water mouth of the general tomb must be very close, and the mountains on both sides must be high, or one star, or two stars, in short, it is good to present a vision." ”

The fat man listened a little foggy, frowned and said, "Then where should we go now?" Do you want to climb the mountain? ”

Gao Chao looked at the Halma River in the distance, and he was a little unsure, because he found that if he climbed up again, it was impossible to see the water and water mouth of the Halma River, so he began to look in the other direction, that is, the approximate location to the east, because the northeast direction has a mountain peak, so if the cave is formed, it may be on the south side of the peak, if that is the case, it is Kanfang Lailong, and their current location is in the southwest of the peak, so maybe they have to cut from here to the east.

Gao Chao looked to the east, but he couldn't help frowning, because when he looked at the woodland in the east, he saw a large cloud that had gathered in the sky.

"It's weird, when did this cloud appear?" Gao Chao frowned and muttered to himself.

Xinlan also looked over there and couldn't help but get nervous: "I really didn't find it, and I just noticed it, as if it suddenly didn't come out." ”

Now the sky was blue, and the sun was still warm on them, but it was probably temporary, for in the midst of such an illusion of sunlight the cloud looked very thick, and it was getting darker and darker, and it was getting lower and lower, and it was no doubt that it was a cumulonimbus cloud, but it was not known what it would bring.

"Is it windy now?" Gao Chao also asked nervously.

The fat man put one of his fingers in his mouth and made a lot of foam on it, which was disgusting but very good, and then he stretched his wet finger to the sky, and then he frowned: "Oops, it's windy, and it's the east wind." ”

Gao Chao looked at him, nodded and said, "This means that we can't avoid this cloud, comrades, the time to test us has just come." ”

There is no other way now, because this cloud is getting bigger and bigger, and their location is a relatively open place, if this cloud brings a blizzard, then they will all be frozen to death in this flat woodland, so Gao Chao suggests that everyone, the goal now is to continue east, because as long as they enter the relatively steep woodland in the east as fast as possible, they may find the ancient tomb before the snowstorm comes, if that happens, maybe they can save a lot of effort.

In fact, Gao Chao said that he saved a lot of effort, this is just an optimistic statement, in fact, if they can't find the ancient tomb, then I'm afraid it will be very dangerous, the blizzard on this side of the Great Khing'an Mountains, it is impossible to just hang for a while, at least 12 hours, that is to say, they will spend the night in the wind and snow, and they have left the most important tent somewhere under the cliff, so they have nowhere to hide, You can only rely on your own ability to survive in the wild.

Moving on, about two o'clock in the afternoon, the wind began to get stronger, and the sun was no longer visible, and they had just entered the woodland on the steep slope, but fortunately they were only going on cross-cutting, so that their strength did not drop too quickly.

But the woodland was so dense that with the clouds low, they walked in it, and although it was past two o'clock in the afternoon, it now felt like it was ten o'clock in the evening, or even later.

Gao Chao had already had to turn on the headlamp on his head, and the wind began to grow stronger and stronger, and began to mix with snowflakes in their faces, which made them miserable, because they immediately realized that these snowflakes were not perfectly beautiful snowflakes, but some ice crystals, and when these ice crystals hit the skin at the speed of the wind, it was like someone pricking them with a tiny needle, painful and itchy.

In the blink of an eye, the wind has begun to rage, when the wind blows on the needle-shaped leaves of the broad-leaved forest in the woodland, it will make a howl like a ghost crying wolf, such a sound is real, not exaggerated in literature, in fact, there is more than that, let's put it this way, although Gao Chao, Xinlan and Fatty, they are no longer underage children, but when they walk in the dim woodland, and hear such a sound, they will also feel fear and fear, This is the tremendous psychological pressure caused by the harsh environment.

"Old Gao!" The fat man shouted, "Can you find the tomb now?" ”

Obviously, the fat man couldn't wait any longer, he really didn't want to go any further.

Gao Chao shouted helplessly: "Find a fart, I can only see two meters away now!" ”

The fat man was stunned by Gao Chao's words, he didn't expect that Gao Chao, who had always been calm, would also have a manic time, obviously, Gao Chao was a little impatient, he knew that in such an environment, it was impossible to find the ancient tomb, because on this steep slope, there was no distance to see the Halma River.

Of course, Xinlan could also see the changes in Gao Chao's heart, so she grabbed Gao Chao and shouted at the top of her voice: "Old Gao, why don't we go, just find a leeward place in this woodland, the three of us can dig a temporary shelter, what do you think?" ”

Gao Chao nodded: "That's it." ”

But the fat man shouted, "This will not work, don't forget that there are pursuers behind us, what if they catch up with us?" ”

Gao Chao shouted: "Don't forget, this blizzard is not only for us, they are also suffering, besides, the situation is dangerous now, if we can't avoid this blizzard, then we are all in danger of our lives, now we can't manage so much, quickly, find a place to leeward it." ”

The three of them unified their minds and began to look for a leeward place along the slope of the woodland, the snow was already heavy, and the blizzard quickly turned the slope into a snowy slope, and they could only make it difficult to move forward.

Fortunately, the fat man's eyes were sharp, and he pointed to a place diagonally above and shouted, "Look there, there's a depression there, where we can take shelter from the blizzard." ”

Gao Chao and Xinlan looked up, and it was true, just above the slope, the snow slope suddenly recessed, and it looked really a good place.

So the three of them began to work diagonally upward, and when they approached the hollow, the three of them ignored it and did not make much observation, and all of them fell into it at once.

Not to mention, the wind in this place is indeed much lighter, and the power of the blizzard is probably reduced by two-thirds in this place, Gao Chao is also very happy, but when he smiling and sitting up from the snow nest and looking not far away, he can no longer smile.
