Chapter Forty-Six: Zha Ling'er is gone
The white larvae break out of their cocoons and become butterflies, and the black-cloud-like grimace moths fly away together, leaving behind a white butterfly cemetery.
Zha Ling'er said that she suddenly felt very sad, and her heart was cold, I smiled and stroked her head and said, "It's because it's too cold." ”
The frozen surface of the river is as hard as a stone and smooth as a mirror, making it very difficult to walk. So we changed the walk to a glide, which was much easier and quicker. This reminds me of when I was a child, every winter, Fat Man and I would go to the frozen river with our friends in the village to make a slippery plank, and ride a dog to pull a plow (the plow is a northeastern dialect, that is, a simple sleigh made of a few wooden planks). There is also the pumping of ice (ice is the ice top).
Recalling the beautiful innocence, I smiled and looked at the fat man, the participant of the good memories at that time, but he stared at me with a pair of bull's eyes and asked: "Lao Zheng, why are you smiling like a fox, with a bad face." ”
And I could only smile bitterly and didn't speak.
We walked on the frozen river for a day and a night, and found that the surface of the river under our feet began to melt, and the monkey asked me worriedly, "Senior brother, is the river about to return to stagnant water again?" ”
The painful memories of soaking in the icy river water are still fresh in everyone's memory, and they never want to be in the freezing water of the river that can freeze people to death.
I looked down at the surface of the river, and saw that the ice was very muddy, and it looked like dirt and plants, so I laughed and said, "We are about to reach the surface." ”
Hearing that they were about to reach land, everyone became excited, and immediately quickened their pace and hurried forward. Finally at noon, our feet. Stepped on solid snow.
The monkey was so moved that he almost kissed the earth.
It feels so good to be down to earth. I immediately told the crowd to rest in place, and the time of the march was to be determined. Everyone immediately rushed into the woods in front of them and began to tie hammocks, soaked in the cold river water for a long time in fear, and walked on the smooth ice for a day and a night, even the iron body could not hold on.
Sleeping and snoring, I dozed off and lay on top of the hammock with my eyes half-squinted, standing guard. It's really because I don't have the strength to stand guard on duty. Lying on top of a comfortable hammock, how can you resist the charm of a sleepy bug.
When I woke up in a daze, the sun was already missing from the sky, and it was surprisingly dark, as if the moon had forgotten to come to work, and the stars were too lazy to come out to play.
Sitting up from the hammock, I said how I fell asleep, but it was very quiet, and nothing should have happened.
The woods behind him were pitch black. The river not far ahead was still cold and hard, and there was only the snoring of teammates around, and there was no sound of birds and insects, as if it was in the woods. Only us breathing creatures.
The woods on the land are no longer metasequoias, but the most common pines and cypresses in the northeastern forest area, which are vigorous and powerful. Standing firm and proud, refusing to sway easily with the cold wind.
Now that I'm awake. So they decided to keep vigil, although the morning would soon come. I'll go around my teammates first. After checking their condition, looking at their sleeping faces, I thought to myself that these days have been really hard, but the dawn of victory is just around the corner, we are already very close to the Immortal Cave Mansion, and it will not take a few days to reach the final destination.
While thinking about it, he circled around his teammates, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly circled around his sleeping teammates, and immediately found that the reason for the mistake was that there was one person missing.
Zha Ling'er is gone.
I hurriedly took out a bright flashlight from my backpack and lit it, and as soon as I stood up and turned around, I saw a person standing behind me.
He put his hand above his eyes, and I couldn't see his face clearly, but he said, "It's glaring." I heard who she was.
Zha Ling'er appeared behind me, blocking the dazzling light with my hand, I hurriedly removed the flashlight, and asked very worriedly, "Where did you just go?" ”
Zha Ling'er blushed, and whispered that it was convenient for her to go, I told her that it was so dark here, there might be danger, why didn't you wake everyone up?
She explained that she saw that everyone was tired and asleep, and she thought that she would not go far anyway, so she would go and return quickly, so she did not wake everyone up.
I turned off the flashlight and said to her, "It's not safe at night, don't run around alone in the future, and do everything in a group." ”
Zha Ling'er nodded very instructively, and said to me, "I'm sorry for worrying you." ”
I touched her little head and said, "It's okay, let's go back to sleep!" ”
Zha Ling'er obediently lay on the hammock to continue to catch up on sleep, I looked at her petite body, and thought: It's so hard for her. A delicate eldest lady, just like this, followed our group of old men everywhere, suffered a lot, endured a lot of hardships, the more I thought about it, the more distressed and guilty I felt.
As the sky grew brighter, we packed up and stared at the frozen river for a while, and then we stepped into the dense woods again without looking back, and marched firmly in the direction of the Immortal Cave.
We fought against the mysterious and mysterious nature again, and we did not end in victory, but we were fortunate to save our lives. The bumpy journey ahead, but our steps are very firm. In three more days, in just another three days, we will be able to reach the Immortal Cave Mansion, which makes our next steps easy and firm, full of confidence. It's just that we don't know now that the next three days of travel will only be a three-day journey, but we have experienced a terrifying experience that we will never forget even if it is thirty or three hundred years.
The fragrance of pine and cypress awakens people's minds and intoxicates people's feelings. The ancients appreciated their integrity in fighting against the harsh winter, and appreciated its undefeated arrogance in the cold of the year, and they used the verdant and white snow to compete for glory, like revolutionary heroes who were brave and steadfast, and proudly and unyieldingly fought against the wind and snow.
Zha Ling'er's girlish feelings seemed to be about to flare up again, but she only said "The grass and trees die in autumn, and the pines and cypresses are alone", and she was interrupted by the fat man.
The fat man hates the ancient red tape and poetry and song Fu the most, he used a "roundabout" word to describe red tape, and used a "sour" word to summarize the poetry and song fu. I, a scholar who was often ridiculed by him for being useless, felt that he summed it up very brilliantly, and I had long been accustomed to his joking cynicism.
But Zha Ling'er didn't eat his set, and immediately ridiculed him, saying that the fat man had a wooden head and developed limbs, and he didn't understand the beauty of the wind and snow, and he didn't understand the artistic conception of the moon before the flowers, and he was superficial.
