Chapter 99: Avalanche
By the time Li Yuntong passed through that line of sky, the wind and snow were already so big that not only his eyes were blinded, but even his exposed hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes were turned into frost by the white air coming out of his mouth.
The wind blew on his face and hurt like a knife.
She couldn't even see who was in front of her.
Faintly, she seemed to hear something.
Then I heard Lu Dongzan shouting, "Get out of the way, it's an avalanche!" ”
She slapped the horse forward in a panic, and after a few steps she felt the horse's body tilt and she was about to fall.
A hand grabbed her.
Although she couldn't see clearly, she heard the miserable scream of her mount as it fell off the cliff.
If she hadn't had that hand, she would have had the same fate.
Li Yuntong was so frightened that her heart was broken, afraid that if that hand couldn't hold her, she would also fall.
But the hand pulled her back from the edge of the cliff.
Standing on the ground with her feet, she felt alive.
She was pulled into an embrace, and the man's vigorous masculinity swept over at once.
Without waiting for Li Yuntong to think about it, Lu Dongzan had already escorted her to avoid under a protruding rock formation.
Beneath the rock formation is a very small col, barely enough for more than one person to hide, and two people to hide in it, and only by being close to each other can they not expose their bodies to the outside.
Lu Dongzan tried to put his body out as early as possible and distanced himself from Li Yuntong.
At this time, the snow on the top of the mountain, the snow on the mountain is rolling down like a torrent.
It poured down like a mountain and a sea, whistling and roaring violently.
The huge roar of the avalanche was dizzying, and in the furious avalanche, everything seemed to be in the stormy waves, and the small rock mass was their boat, sheltering them from being swallowed by the snow waves.
The cold wind slammed down the snow and covered his face, and when he heard the terrifying sound, Li Yuntong subconsciously pulled Lu Dongzan inside.
Lu Dongzan could feel the raging snow and ice flooding his back, like a raging wave about to sweep them away, tear them apart, and swallow them up.
He closed his eyes and used himself as a shield to protect Li Yuntong tightly inside.
The snow quickly piled up and soon reached the top of their heads, and Lu Dongzan could feel the snow piling up behind him into a wall of snow.
From Li Yuntong's point of view, the snow wall behind Lu Dongzan was within reach, he was like embedded in the snow wall, only half a head higher than the snow, if it wasn't for the rock top to support it, the snow wall would overwhelm and engulf him.
Carefully identifying, Lu Dongzan barely has a five-finger-wide slit on the top of his head, and he can see the outside.
In fact, I couldn't see anything clearly, only white snow and a little gray sky.
The endless wall of snow, I don't know how long and how thick.
Between heaven and earth, she is the only one left, and the man in front of her who is almost next to her.
In the middle of them was one of her fists.
Although he didn't see who was in front and behind just now, Li Yuntong knew that there must have been many people who had been buried under the heavy snow at that moment.
Inside was a thick wool beard, wearing a mink fur cloak on the outside, and even the riding boots on her feet were thick felt, Li Yuntong didn't feel cold at this time, but the fear made her shiver.
Her tears fell, and soon turned into frost on her face.
Upbringing made it impossible for her to cry out loud, and even then, she cried helplessly and pitifully.
On weekdays, she is not at all like the calm and calm person who can make up her mind about everything.
At the moment, she was just a sixteen-year-old girl, dazed and terrified.
Lu Dongzan felt that Li Yuntong was trembling, and said in a gentle voice, "The minister is offended!" Then he stretched out his long arms and took her in his arms.
He softly reassured, "Princess, don't panic, they will definitely dig us out when they see the avalanche." It's just that we may have to hold on for a little longer, and we have to save as much effort as possible, and when we hear movement, we will shout for help. ”
Because he was so close, he couldn't even move his palms, so he could only pat Li Yuntong's back with his fingers to remind her to calm down, "Crying is not only exhausting, but it may also cause another avalanche, please princess, restrain yourself and stop crying." ”
Li Yuntong's sobbing gradually became quieter.
She has been taught since she was a child that she can't cry or laugh without making a sound, and if it weren't for the impact of this avalanche on her, she wouldn't cry.
Although there was no sound, her tears still couldn't stop pouring out, and Lu Dongzan could feel the wetness through the layers of clothes.
He said helplessly: "Your Royal Highness, if you continue to cry, if you don't say anything, you will feel cold." ”
Hearing Lu Dongzan calmly say the situation they were in, Li Yuntong's heart calmed down inexplicably.
"If so, what if they hadn't dug up here? Or maybe they've dug up here and we're dead? She looked up and asked pitifully.
She only reached Lu Dongzan's chin, and when she looked up, her smooth cheeks rubbed past his chin.
Lu Dongzan was silent for a moment before he said: "Probably not, it was just a small avalanche just now, if you move faster, maybe they will be able to find us in an hour." ”
The place where they were standing was already a few inches higher than the mountain road, and even then the snow rolling down the mountain was almost overhead, how could it be just a small avalanche?
Li Yuntong felt that Lu Dongzan was just comforting herself, but this was the first time in her life that she saw heavy snow and an avalanche, whether it was true or not, she hoped that her father and brother would be able to find them soon.
Because of the need to save energy, neither of them spoke again.
After the panic, he felt that the situation between the two of them at this time was really embarrassing.
is like the closest person in the world hugging each other tightly, but he is the prime minister of Tubo and has a wife and children, she is the princess of the Tang Dynasty, and she wants to marry his king.
If it weren't for this avalanche, he wouldn't have been more than three feet away from her.
The space was cramped, the air was thin, and it was so quiet that they could only hear each other's breathing and heartbeats.
In extreme silence, time passes unusually slowly, and the heartbeat is extraordinarily strong.
They could all hear each other's heartbeats slowly getting louder, like drums, like roaring.
Between life and death, at the end of the world, something is quietly sprouting.
Lu Dongzan smelled the fragrance between his noses, which was not a fragrance, but it smelled so good that he couldn't help but want to smell it, and wanted to get closer and smell it.
He secretly complained in his heart, tilted his head slightly, trying to avoid the aroma, and was worried that his sudden violent heartbeat would make Li Yuntong suspicious.
If it weren't for this snow, if it weren't for pulling her back from the edge of the cliff, the fear of her falling and the surprise of losing and regaining, he wouldn't have known that he wanted to protect this girl in his arms for the rest of his life.
Her beauty, her straightforwardness, her willfulness, her recklessness, her cunning, her strength, her weakness...... He had seen so many sides of her.
He didn't know the beauty, the laughter, the tears...... Inadvertently, it took root and sprouted in his heart.
Was it the tears he shed when he told her the stories of hunger and cold, those homeless orphans, and they dripped into his heart?
Was it that night in the moonlight of Yizhuang, she wrapped her thick cloak in his thick cloak, dragged it to the ground for a long time, and turned back inadvertently, and the slight playfulness and smile crashed into his heart?
Or was it even earlier, when she panicked like a snow-white lamb waiting to be slaughtered, and was surprised by his rescue?
Lu Dongzan didn't know why this situation started and where to go.
Obviously, it was very dark at the moment, and there was only a little light, shining through the snow cave above her head, but the person in front of her was glowing, her eyes, her hair, and even her breath were glowing.
Shine on his heart, shine through his heart.
He had never had a feeling like this moment: it turned out that a woman is not just a marriage, not only means having children, but also more cherished than the most fragile and precious porcelain in the world.
At the moment when he looked down at her, he saw the stars, the moon, and the mission he cherished in this life.
It turned out that what he wanted to protect was not only his country, his home, but also a little her He wanted to protect her for the rest of his life.
It's not because she's a monarch or a minister, but it's simple, like a man protecting a woman, and wants to protect her.
Cherish and cherish her for the rest of her life.
Even if the whole world collapses, even if he is about to lose his life, he still wants to save her and protect her.
However......
I don't know how long it took, he came back to his senses, dodged like a hot yam, and said stiffly, "Don't panic, princess, they will definitely come to save us." ”
Li Yuntong is no better than him, since she was a child, she has never been so close to a man, and the spurting heat is like a wave, rolling her in it and losing herself.
The man in front of him is tall and mighty, like a mountain and a mountain, and he is reliable and makes people want to rely on it.
The thought of him pulling his terrified self back from the edge of the cliff was so warm...... Maybe it's her last warmth in the world.
Maybe they'll die here.
Li Yuntong's body gradually softened, his originally stiff back relaxed, and he gently snuggled against Lu Dongzan's chest.
The heavy and powerful sound of her heartbeat, like a war drum, rang in her ears and on the tip of her heart......
She only felt as if her heart was about to pop out of her chest, and only by holding it down tightly could she stop it from jumping out.
She closed her eyes.
In the snow wall, in this small mountain col, in the silence, they hugged each other tightly, both helplessly and willingly.
Listen to each other's heartbeats and feel each other's breathing.
I don't know how long it took for her to hear Lu Dongzan speak.
"Don't panic, princess, they will definitely come to save us."
The voice echoed in his chest, the mellow voice was low, slightly hoarse, gentle like spring waves, falling in her ears like strings, and when he finished the last word, she reluctantly looked away.
Li Yuntong wanted to say a word calmly, but in the end, she couldn't control herself like Lu Dongzan, and in the end she just blushed and replied with a low "um" word.
At the moment when Li Yuntong's head left Lu Dongzan's chest, both of them were at a loss, and they both breathed a sigh of relief.
Nothing happened, and it was like a thousand sails had passed.
The last moment, a hurricane passed through their hearts, like the sky falling apart, like fireworks blooming, like an undercurrent surging, and at this moment, they were as if nothing happened.
They couldn't hear anything but the pounding heartbeat.
Just as they were about to say something to cover up and break the embarrassment, they felt movement on the other side of the snow wall.
"They dug it up, I didn't expect it to be so fast!" Li Yuntong shouted in surprise, even she didn't notice it, and there was a bit of pity in the surprise.
It's a pity that I can't stay with you a little longer.
Lu Dongzan's voice was respectful and detached, "Her Royal Highness the princess should protect her head and face. ”
He lucked his luck and slammed his body backwards.
They must not be seen in this col, hugging each other tightly.
Even if it is speculation, as long as no one sees it, no one can slander Li Yuntong's reputation.
Lu Dongzan hit him very hard and flew out directly.
