Chapter 5 The House in the Depths of the Woods

We didn't do anything special.com we just bought some bread and ham sausages in that little supermarket, and a few bottles of high-quality home-brewed liquor. In the end, I borrowed a few pairs of long fur boots from the villager's house. I don't think we will go too far in one trip, otherwise we would have gone in so unprepared, as if we were going to die.

I was a bit surprised after the departure, I was neither excited nor nervous. Instead, it was surprisingly calm. It's like coming home.

Zhu Ye and the others are the same, but they are happy with white faces. I don't know why.

Out of the village and into the mountains and forests, there was no obstacle along the way. The snow is getting deeper and deeper, but the road we are walking is the only way for many people in the village to enter the mountains, and the snow has already been solidified. Looking at the snow scene along the way, covered in silver, I still feel quite fresh. From time to time, I can really see a few wild animals, but in the distance, I can only hear the sound, and I can't tell if it's a deer or something else. I've been on the road all morning, and this amount of exercise can't test me, so I walk with ease, always following behind Bai Kai's ass.

After a short break at noon, Markham Rong turned from the middle of the road into the woods next to him. That's when it began to get struggling. The snow is almost knee-free with every step, and the difficulty of moving forward can be imagined. It didn't take long for the snow to soak through my boots, and I felt that my feet were getting colder and colder, and finally I was gradually unconscious.

Halfway through the afternoon, the sun gradually darkened. The temperature is even lower. I had been hoping that the wind would not get up, but the more I thought about it, the more I thought about it, the more I became more and more serious. Soon the wind carried the snow on the branches, and the cheeks hurt in the face.

In order to save the body, there was no one in the team to speak. Now everyone gritted their teeth even more. All you can hear is the humming wind.

When it was almost dark, Markham stopped. At first I thought we had arrived. When I looked over, I saw that there were still endless tree trunks and snow in front of me.

Before I could ask why, Markham turned around and looked behind me. followed Bai Kai and made the same move.

I was puzzled, so I turned around and looked. Zhu Ye behind me didn't seem to understand the situation, and was staring at his glasses.

They looked at each other for two seconds before they realized that the kid in the group was gone!

Originally, we still took good care of him, and we didn't let him carry things. Second, put him at the back of the line. The person in front walked over, and the snow had basically been flattened, and it was very effortless for him to walk.

It's just that I don't know when this child fell behind. The wind is already loud, and the creaking of stepping on the snow makes it easy to ignore the other sounds around you.

I looked far away, but I didn't see the child.

Bai Kai asked, what should I do? Do you want to go back and look for it?

Markham frowned and made a gesture to move on. He took the lead and continued to walk.

A group of people immediately unified their pace and followed.

I felt a little uncomfortable, and even though I wasn't related to the kid, I didn't like him. But such a young life was easily abandoned in the deep mountains and old forests. I really can't take it.

What makes me feel even more chilling is that Zhu Ye and glasses who came with the children, no one showed anything out. It was as if the kid had nothing to do with them.

Xiao Missing, Sensei thought about it. This trip may kill someone. It's all a certainty. Bai Kai patted me on the shoulder and said, You have also seen it along the way, there is no danger. Can't die.

I hesitated, but finally chose to follow the team. I lit a cigarette and tried my best not to think about it.

After another hour of walking, Markham stopped again. I instinctively turned around to look, afraid that this time there was one less person.

Just listen to Bai Kai in front of me, damn it, there is really a house in this place!

When I looked, I saw that there was a building standing in front of us. Looking at the specific outline from a distance, I just think that this building must not be too small.

I couldn't believe my eyes. There are some things that you can believe to be in existence even if you see them with your own eyes. That kind of impact is still different. Building a house in such a place is too difficult to build and technically demanding. What's even more unbelievable is who would choose to live in such a place?

Markham Wing has noticeably quickened his pace. His body is much better than mine. I had a hard time following behind. Fortunately, Bai Kai will help me from time to time. In this way, the group finally got closer and closer to the house.

With every few steps, the house became clearer. I didn't dare to blink until I saw the whole house. For a moment I forgot to catch my breath.

It's a building that doesn't tell what age it is at all, and it's hard to describe. The most striking feature is that the house is square. Of course, this kind of square is different from the buildings we see every day. If I had to describe it, I'm afraid I could only say that this thing is like a concrete cube.

There were no windows or doors in the house, which made me suspect for a while that it was a pillbox left over from the war. Later, I realized that what we saw might be the back of the house.

The color of the exterior wall is also very special, a very light and pale purple. It's like the feeling of being diluted with the purple potion I used when I was a child.

None of them immediately posted it, and I don't know if anyone else was as shocked as I was. Anyway, none of us spoke.

In the end, it was Markham Rong who took the lead and walked over, Bai Kai followed and asked, haven't you been to this house? What are you cautious about?

Wan Jinrong looked back at Bai Kai's eyes and said: I have been here, but this house has not been capped before.

I was taken aback. This house was built recently? And just in the few days we've been here? I looked around, and Markham was right to be cautious. Perhaps on the way we came, the house was still under construction. If so, there must be someone else hidden around them.

Bai Kaidao, what the fuck? This place is so difficult to walk, where did the bricks come from? He can't finish moving when he's tired?

Bai Kai surpassed Markham, and his hand gently touched the outer wall of the house.

No way! Ice! Bai Kai was surprised.

I couldn't help but say, don't you talk nonsense? This place is not a wall, are you touching your dick ice?

Bai Kaidao, then you come here! Let me touch you! Damn, this house was built of ice!

It dawned on me that I didn't know if there was a water source nearby. If there is, although it is a little more difficult, it is more realistic than using bricks and cement. I saw that there was no danger, so I simply walked over. Sure enough, the whole house is an ice sculpture building at all, and the colors I saw before are mixed with ice. It's not painted on the exterior walls.

Now that I've come so close, I look left and right. The wall was very long, and the house was much bigger than I had imagined.

Bai Kai didn't wait for Markham's instructions, walked along the wall, and disappeared in a flash around the corner.

I chased after it with a deep foot and a shallow foot, and saw that Bai Kai was scraping the ice on the wall with a knife.

This temperature, this climate, how strong this ice is can be imagined. Bai Kai couldn't wait to eat hard, and only deducted a few ice slags.

Bai Kai put the tip of the knife into his mouth and tasted it, and suddenly said, Xiao Qian, come and taste it.

I also slipped a piece into my mouth with my tongue. At first, I only felt cold teeth, and I wanted to spit it out immediately. After a while, the ice melted and some familiar flavors began to feel in my mouth. I didn't think about it for a while, and it wasn't until I reacted that I suddenly realized it. I exclaimed, how the fuck does this ice taste like the ashes that Lao Tzu ate!

Bai Kai nodded, do you like it? It seems that Markham Rong called you because of this!

I said, could it be that the ice is also mixed with those ashes? Otherwise, where did all this color come from?

Bai Kai pointed behind me with his chin, you have to ask him directly!

When I turned around, I saw that Markham Wing was already standing not far away. In a very strange pose. A hand gently caresses the exterior wall of the house, as if it were touching a small animal or a work of art.

This ice was frozen with the water of the Yin River. Markham said suddenly.
