Chapter 099: The Wind and Snow Blow Strangers
In such weather, Sumya was going out to look for her father and brother. But when the father and brother returned, they did not see Sumya come back in time, so they turned around and went to find Sumya. If Sumiya knew the arrangement of this matter, just because of her own thoughts, the purpose was to let her father and brother go home early, and she didn't think of too many other things, then this little thing, which was originally a very casual matter, passed so naturally. But, in fact, this seemingly trivial act, the unexpected came unintentionally.
When Sumiya walked out of the tent, it was already pitch black outside, and he could only rely on the feeling of the day, knowing that there was a road in front of him. When I went out in the morning, my father and brother set off from this road. She thought that she might meet them on the way back, so she kept walking forward, not thinking about whether this was the right way.
However, Sumya forgot an important problem, which was that they did not migrate here for long. Every year, they decide to settle there for a longer period of time according to the water and grass and the climate, and this place may be the place that has been settled for the longest time this year. During the day, there is no wind, no snow, the sky here is blue, and the brothers will constantly bring back some prey for Sumya, so almost all of her memories in this place are happy and quite happy. There is also a father, although he seems indifferent and not easy to approach, but people who grew up in the desert will have some pride in their bones, and they can also let her enjoy a kind of silent fatherly love in treating Sumya. It's just that this feeling, just like that, is about to disappear unintentionally.
At this time, Sumia was moving forward along a road that had been blown by the wind and snow, and the road she was very familiar with during the day had tilted in the other direction because of the wind and snow, so even if she found the end of this road, it would be impossible for her to meet her father and brother, they took two completely different paths. It's just that Sumya doesn't know that she has gone the wrong way, she has gone on another path.
The road was very easy to walk, and the snow was thin on the ground, and although there was a layer of ice, it had not yet accumulated thick snow, so that Soumya would ride much faster on her horse, but when she found that after riding for half an hour, there were no hills around her like the ones she had seen during the day, and she knew that she had taken a fork in the road. At this time, the snow is getting heavier and heavier.
She rode her horse and walked up and down the place, hoping to find her way back as soon as possible, because she was afraid that she had been out for too long, and if her father and brothers came back to the house, if they came out to look for her again, she would really be to blame if there was an accident.
Just as she feared, his father did not follow the path they had come back from when he first set out, for when they came back, he did not see Sumya. So, he believed, Sumia must have set off on another path he had seen during the day. Although the ground had been covered by the heavy snow, as an old hunter in the desert, he was able to distinguish the exact location of the other road that was covered. So, he went straight down the other road. If Sumya hadn't mistaken the road that was disrupted by the wind and snow, then she and her father could meet in the wind and snow, but because they took different paths, they were destined to have different endings.
Just as one of Sumya's horses was wandering left and right in the wind and snow, suddenly, the neighing of another horse was heard not far ahead. Especially on such a snowy night, I can't help but make Sumya a little more vigilant. Because, the ordinary days here are not very peaceful, there are often robbers passing here, if there are many people, either rob some of the cattle and sheep, or even take all the cattle and sheep away and buy and sell.
However, on such a night, there was only the neighing of a single horse, which made Sumya's mood feel a little more comforted. She thought that it was someone who was passing by nearby, and because of the weather, they encountered wind and snow, so they couldn't rush back in time, and at this moment, they were preparing to find their way home like her. So she stopped her horse and stood there, wondering who it was. For there is not even a place to take refuge around them. If she rashly chooses a random path to run, it will undoubtedly be a dead end.
And so, when the horse came to her, because it was night, she saw a man sitting on the horse, and the snow reflected the other man's face very clearly, and the man covered his face, and sat on the horse and looked at her, as if he knew that there would be such a man in front of her, but he did not speak, but looked at her silently.
The two horses were in the wind and snow, and after two turns, Sumya couldn't help it.
"Dare you ask, do you know the direction to Lake Cole?" Because behind the tent where Sumiya lived, there was Lake Cole, which was the best excuse to ask. She thought the other party must know. Because it was late at night, and there were two people alone, looking at that person, as if he was injured, Soumya did not feel the slightest uneasiness.
The wind and snow were wrapped in dirt and came at them, and Sumya thought that her voice was too low for the other party to hear, so she spoke loudly again.
"Do you know the direction of Lake Cole?" Because it was night, it was impossible to see whether the man was nodding or shaking his head, but there was still no sound, as if there was a person sitting right away, and he didn't feel anything, which made Sumiya feel very strange.
Sumia immediately turned over and dismounted, and then walked in front of the horse. When she got closer, she finally saw that there was indeed a man sitting on it, his body was tied by a long rope around the horse's neck, so it didn't look like he would fall, but he was unconscious, his head was down, his face could not be seen clearly, and he was obviously unconscious.
Sumya hurriedly dragged him off his horse, took the wine from his own horse, unveiled his mask, poured him a few sips of wine, and then Sumya shook the man vigorously.
"Wake up, wake up, wake up."
Then, Sumya slapped the man's face vigorously and shook his body back and forth. Maybe it was because Su Miya hadn't been out for a long time, and the wine that he had brought to his father and brother had obviously not all been cooled, so after Su Miya tossed back and forth, his body finally began to move, and his head slowly moved.
"Are you awake?"
Sumia was pleasantly surprised. In such weather, there are often some people who go out to graze, just freeze quietly in the snow, and by the time the weather improves, the person has already stopped breathing. Therefore, when encountering such a thing, they are duty-bound to rescue and will not have the slightest hesitation. In such an empty desert, on such a cold night, it is simply too difficult to meet a person.
"Uh."
The man made a slight noise.
"You're still alive? To live, yes, now you won't die, you need to drink more and warm your body. ”
As if the man understood what Sumia was saying, Sumya hurriedly picked up the flask in his hand and began to pour a few more sips into his mouth, and the man's consciousness seemed to have recovered a little.
"Where is this?"
The man made a faint voice.
"I don't know, now, the wind and snow are blowing hard, and I'm lost."
Sumya hurriedly responded. Feeling that in this dark night, I can still meet someone, and Su Miya's heart still feels a little warm. It was only with this warmth, but with a sense of unease, she knew that at this time, if her father and brother returned home and could not find her, she did not know what to worry about, and if they came out to look for it again, these thoughts simply made Sumya dare not think about it anymore.
"You're lost too?"
The man seemed to be talking to Sumia, and it was as if he were speaking to himself.
"Do you know the road?"
Sumya felt as if the man knew how to get back, and immediately lifted her spirits.
"We're going to find a place to shelter from the snow, you can help me."
The man commanded Sumya, who immediately lifted him up, as he had said.
The man still kept his head down, as if muttering something, and then pointed with his hand in the direction to the left.
"Let's go down that road, go out, it's a little farther away, but can we find the Lake Cole you said?"
"Can you guarantee that we won't get lost again?"
Sumya hurriedly repeated the sentence again, and the man nodded.
"Let's go, this snow is going to fall, and by the second half of the night, we'll all freeze to death."
Su Muya knew that at this moment, if they didn't move, they would really be annihilated by this vast sea of learning.
Sumia helped the man to the horse's side, but such a big man could drag him down when he fainted, but Sumya was powerless to help him up.
As if the man knew about Sumya's difficulties, he took Sumya's arm and whispered to her.
"You put my horse down?"
"Your horse?"
The man nodded, and leaned against Sumya's ear, and without knowing what he had said, the horse fell down as if he could understand human speech.
She knew that someone could make a horse fall, but it was the first time she had seen it with her own eyes.
At this moment, she did not allow her to think about it any longer, she understood what the man meant, and before the horse could get back on his feet, she put him on the horse's body.
Then, in an amazing scene, the horse stood up, and the man quickly sat down on the horse with the help of Sumya.
Seeing that the man was already sitting safely on his horse, Sumya hesitated.
"You're not going to leave me on the horse alone, are you?"
The man's words obviously reminded Sumya, and at this time, Sumya stepped on the stirrup without any choice, jumped up, and sat behind the man.
"Hold my body so we can run faster!"
The man commanded in a low voice.
When Sumia heard the man's command, she took a firm grip on his waist with a pair of hands.
