Chapter 15: The Familiar Stranger

Wu Qi's mind was a little confused at this time, he remembered that he was obviously running towards the bright light in front of him, why did he run back to the hole he had just drilled? He didn't remember that he had turned around, and that the wind had not changed since the beginning, and had been standing in front of him, as if to hinder his progress, and the young man had come up and ran so far against the wind, but who would have thought that he had run back again.

The whole body has already been frozen, the bones and joints of the whole body are cold, and the teeth are trembling uncontrollably, looking at the hole in front of him that is bubbling with fire, Wu Qi hurriedly raised his legs and ran over, but before he ran a few steps, he suddenly remembered something and stopped, turned his head against the wind, and the reflected light in the heavy snow behind him was still there, but there was a strange feeling in his heart but he couldn't say it, he just felt that something was wrong, and he seemed to ignore something.

But as the wind intensified, Wu Qi was almost blown over by the sudden strong wind, and he couldn't think much about anything and rushed through the small hole. The entrance of the cave is about one and a half meters high from the ground, and there is a thick layer of snow piled up below, like a soil slope that is very soft, Wu Qi suffered a loss when he came out, thinking that he could step on it and fell directly into the snow slope, and struggled to climb out against the wind. But in such a short period of time, the snow slope has actually regained its original appearance, there is no trace of being stepped on, the slope is very flat, and the snowflakes have fallen up and raised again.

Wu Qi didn't dare to step on it when he saw this, and he knew that the thing was not real and couldn't step on it, so he stared directly at the mouth of the cave that was steaming hot, and ran a few steps quickly, just in front of the hole, the fish jumped up and just drilled into the hole, but the posture was not maintained well, the front half of the body was drilled over, but the legs were bent upwards and hung on the edge of the hole. Wu Qi suddenly lost his balance, threw himself into the hole with his head down, and rolled around a few times holding his head. Before I could open my eyes, I felt that the front of my head was hot, and when I opened my eyes, I saw that I almost didn't arch into the fire, and the dogskin hat on my head was burned to the side by the fire, and suddenly a scorched smell wafted out, and Wu Qi, who was startled, quickly got up from the ground. took off his hat and threw it on the ground and stepped on it all the time, thinking it was on fire, and even the whole person was trembling with frost.

But fortunately, it was just a little burned and did not catch fire, Wu Qi's trembling heart was less and put down, sat next to the fire, lazily roasted the fire, panted and said, "Oh, it's really hanging!" I almost couldn't come back. Wu Qi knew that he was making a fuss, and everyone else must have woken up. But after speaking, no one spoke, Wu Qi thought that they were still sleeping too dead to hear it, but when he opened his eyes, Li Feng and Liu Xuemin were sitting together on the fire, and the two of them were pale and did not speak, as if they hadn't noticed anyone jumping in at all.

Wu Qi was stunned for a moment, and then found that there was one person missing from the cave, and the stuffy melon was gone. It's a lot of space in the cave. The whole thing is like an egg, and I really didn't see a stuffy melon. Wu Qi thought of him going out for a while. Didn't you find that the others were gone, and went out to find him? If that's the case, it's bad, the blizzard outside is getting more and more ferocious, and you may not be able to get it back if you go out!

Thinking of this, Wu Qi was a little flustered, so he quickly got up and squatted at the edge of the cave to look outside, maybe the visibility was very low, and it was white in the distance. Yitong's inspection did not find the figure of the sullen melon, so he turned his head and asked the two people sitting by the fire, "Hey! What about stuffy melons? What about people? Did you go out to find me? Yes? Speak! ”

But no matter how Wu Qi shouted, the two of them never raised their heads or opened their eyes, as if they hadn't heard them. Wu Qi suddenly became angry, and walked over quickly with a gloomy face. grabbed Liu Xuemin's head, turned his face over, looked him in the eye and asked him, "Xuemin, what's the matter with you?" Are you two hugging in the nest? Can't you hear me? ”

didn't expect Liu Xuemin to look indifferent, his eyes were colder than the weather outside, and Wu Qi was a little stunned when he saw it. Why did this usually wizened person suddenly change his appearance? There was a hint of disdain in his eyes, how could he look like a sullen melon, and then turned his head to look at Li Feng on the side, he also had a cold face, and he didn't care about Wu Qi's movements around him, just roasting his hands slowly.

"No, don't make a fuss! What's wrong? What about stuffy melons? It's going to kill you! Where is he? ”

Wu Qi was in a hurry, but these two people just didn't speak, and he hated him and raised his hand to slap Liu Xuemin, wanting to wake him up. But as soon as his hand was raised, before he could draw it, he heard Liu Xuemin say coldly: "He went to find Wu Qi." ”

"Who?" Wu Qi thought he had heard it wrong, so he asked again.

Liu Xuemin broke free of his hand, turned his head and replied indifferently: "He went to find Wu Qi." ”

Wu Qi looked at Liu Xuemin's side face a little inexplicably, why did this person call him by his name directly? Isn't it supposed to say "go out to you"? What's going on? How to say it is like he is not Wu Qi.

Just when Wu Qi felt strange and wanted to continue to ask him, he suddenly heard a rustling sound at the entrance of the cave behind him, and then someone jumped in with a "bang", and before Wu Qi looked back, he heard a sullen voice saying, "Are you back?" Why didn't you say hello in advance when you went out just now? Let me find it easily, almost let the snow be buried and can't come back! ”

Wu Qi froze, it was the first time he heard the stuffy gourd say this, he turned his head in disbelief, and actually saw the stuffy gourd with a smiling face. He took off his dogskin hat and was still on the side, unbuttoned his military coat and went to the fire to keep warm, and when he passed by Wu Qi, there was still a trace of cold, and Wu Qi couldn't help but shiver when he froze.

"Where the hell did you just go? Why don't you say it, if you sue sΓΉ these two sullen melons, it's the same as not saying it, it scares me and thinks that something happened to you, if this seedling pacesetter is lost and freezes to death in the mountains, I won't be able to explain to the squad leader when I go back! ”

Wu Qi stared at his eyes in surprise and opened his mouth, he couldn't say a word for a long time, how could this stuffy melon be completely different from usual, at this time, he looked particularly cheerful and easy-going, and he could talk to him like a joke, this kind of change made Wu Qi a little unacceptable, he still felt that the muffled melon was better and more natural at this time.

"Oh, I, I just went to pee!" Wu Qi moved to the side of the stuffy melon and squatted down, his eyes still staring at the side of the stuffy melon.

The sullen melon shivered a few times and didn't seem to have eased the cold, but he turned his head to Wu Qi with a smile and said, "Just stand in the hole and pee outside, are you afraid that the wind will freeze it?" ”

Wu Qi looked at the smiling face of the stuffy melon, and slowly moved back, and suddenly Wu Qi turned his head to look outside the entrance of the cave. Looking at the light in the distance, he suddenly remembered something, something that had been ignored before and had never been able to remember. Before jumping into the hole, he accidentally glanced at the snow under his feet as he lowered his head to avoid the wind, and did not notice at the time that there were only deep footprints behind him in the snow, not the footprints left by him when he left. Although the wind and snow are very strong, but in a short period of time, it will definitely not fill in the footprints that are like potholes deep in the snow, the only explanation is that he has indeed kept moving forward without looking back, and this place should be the light he saw before, so who are these familiar people?
