220. The Storm Strikes (3000 votes plus more)
Hanyu noticed her strangeness and helped her sit down on the stone beside her. "Sister, can't you walk? I'll press it for you. Dye Qing nodded, the road behind still needs to be supported by two people, and the journey cannot be delayed because of himself. I looked at the sky very worriedly, it was only noon, but it was drowsy and frightening, and this kind of local storm must have been accompanied by heavy snow, and my heart was faintly uneasy.
She warned herself that she had to be mentally prepared for the storm, and if the wind and snow came, it was very likely that she would not be able to see in front of her, and it was more likely to cause an avalanche. That's no joke, people are usually small in the face of nature and climate. So you need to cross the mountain range as fast as you can, and try to reach the base of the opposite mountain before the storm.
But if it's too late, you have to find a cave where you can take refuge as soon as possible, she knows a little about the basic common sense of survival in the snow, and there is really no way to dig a hole in the snow to hide in it, which is better than being hit by a storm.
The two of them did not rest for long, and got up again and walked up the hill. The wind was blowing in the ears, and the face was tightly wrapped in a cloth towel, and it couldn't stop the cold from invading in. All they could do was to stay a little closer together and shield each other's bodies from the mountain wind. Because there is no sun on a hazy day, it is impossible to discern the direction from the sun, but it can probably be calculated.
It should be about noon when they arrived at the pass at the foot of the mountain, and the way up the mountain was about two hours, and with their footsteps they should have only walked halfway up the mountain, so that the time calculated would not have been able to climb the mountain before dark. And the dark clouds above their heads were thick and dripping ink, staring at them for a while, and slowly there was no trace of wind, as if it was calm before the storm.
As she walked, she looked around her surroundings and decided to find a place to take shelter, as the next second the storm would suddenly come. "Wait, Hanyu, look over there." She found a bulge somewhere, where the mountain structure tends to be peculiar, and it suddenly extends at angles unimaginable to humans.
And the place where it was covered with rotten foliage and some snow was a rock that arched outward, forming a semicircular arc below it, large enough for a man to hide inside. But this has to be pinned on the hope that if the storm is swept in, and the wind direction is not directly under the cave rock, we should find a way to plug the gap outside.
Staring at the cave, the original scene appeared in front of Ran Qing's eyes, although the environment was different, but she clearly remembered that Shen Mo used her body to block the storm for her and save her from the rain. I have to admit that he did that to her, which touched her. How nice it would be if there was someone who could keep the outside out at bay now, and the storm that was coming.
"Hanyu, use a dagger to cut some branches down, the thicker the better." Because it is winter, most of the trees have lost their leaves, are bare, and rarely have perennial dark green. Since there is no human body to block it, they make a protective screen to cover it. After a while, Hanyu cut it down and came back, leaning against the rock wall and laying a dense layer.
But this is obviously not strong, and if the wind blows, it will blow away the branches. This is one of them, mainly because the space in there is so small, so you can only squeeze in it alone. Han Yu hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and decided: "Sister, when the storm comes, you will be inside, and I will use my body to suppress these branches outside, which can also block the wind for you." ”
Dye Qing said angrily: "Nonsense, how can you stay outside? It's going to freeze to death! "Storms in the mountains can blow people away, even if you have martial arts, you can't withstand this cold. saw Han Yu crying anxiously: "But that's too small, you can't hide two people at all." Tears rolled down her face and onto the hem of her clothes.
Dyed blue eyes fixed on the tear-soaked spot, and an idea came to his mind. After talking to Han Yu carefully, she suddenly turned from crying to laughter, and said happily: "Sister, you have a good way!" ”
Their previous baggage was looted by unscrupulous officers and soldiers, but they only swept away the jewelry and jewelry, and some of the old clothes they replaced did not want. When they came out of Brother Hunter's house, the two still carried the burden on their backs, so they began to work together. Hanyu digs up the snow that has been frozen into stone, and Dye Qing uses the branch that has just been cut back to insert it into the soil in front of the rock, and only needs to use a dagger to dig out the frozen hard above, and the mud under it is soft, so it is easy to insert.
After a while, a simple shed about half a meter away was erected in front of the cave, leaving a small door that could be entered, so that the space inside was enough for two people to hide. The robes and robes and other clothing were cut with a knife, and then spread on the top of the shed, and the corners were pressed with large snow blocks dug up by the cold jade, and layer after layer was spread, and finally the extra cotton jacket was also concocted and covered with the same method, and a layer of fine snow was spread on top.
When I went out, I brought a pot of water, and I poured the water into the top layer of the cotton jacket little by little, because there was cotton in it, and it was absorbed quickly, and some of the water was dripped down with small snow blocks, and the temperature at this time was estimated to be more than ten degrees below zero, and after a while, the snow and cotton cloth were directly frozen together.
As a result, a natural barrier was formed, just like paving a road, and the layers of foundations seemed to be just a few pieces of fabric, but because of the water and climate, they became the hardest barriers. This is the method that Dye Qing thought of, and it is unknown whether it can block the storm, at least it is much more reliable than the human body to block it.
There was a muffled thunder from somewhere, and the dark clouds pressed down, and slowly began to blow a cool breeze like nothing. Dye Qing's face changed: "Quick, Hanyu, let's hide in first." "Entering through the reserved entrance, those who have little space in it can only cling to it, and use the thick branches prepared earlier to spread the last robe to block the entrance, leaving only a little gap for breathing.
In just half an hour, the wind began to blow outside, and the whistling sound was as terrifying as a tornado. Then there was the sound of a nearby tree branch blowing, and the place where they stayed was not moving, it seemed that this method really worked.
In this small world, because the two people are crowded very tight, and the space is small, it is much warmer than when walking outside before. Through the crack in the door, it was getting darker and darker, as if it was night. I couldn't see what was going on outside, but I felt that terror and danger were everywhere.
Hanyu asked worriedly, "Sister, can we get out alive?" The sound of the wind and the breaking of the branches was too terrifying, and she was worried that she would blow the tree down, and then hit them, directly crushing the world. Or maybe it's like the storm that my sister-in-law talked about, it snowed heavily for three or four days, and then buried it directly underneath.
Then no one would know that they were here, and even if the Lord did bring someone to look for them, how could they find them?
Dye Qing was silent for a long time before he spoke in the dark: "You have to believe that man will win the sky!" We will live. This is not only to comfort Hanyu, but also to comfort herself, when she comes here, she is unwilling to admit defeat. This is a kind of belief, people may not be able to overcome nature, but no matter where they are, as long as they have faith, then it is possible to survive.
The warm environment, the tiredness of the body, tempts people to be drowsy. Dye Qing grabbed Hanyu's shoulders, asked her to lean her head on her side, and said softly, "You can sleep for a while." All the way, she was supporting herself to walk, it took twice as much effort, and just now she cut branches and dug up snow blocks, and she was already exhausted.
Han Yu obediently closed her eyes and muttered, "Sister, you can also rest, this storm may not stop for a while, let's hurry up and sleep, and only after it stops will we have the strength to continue to hurry." By the end of the words, her consciousness was already drowsy, and she didn't notice that Dye Qing didn't answer her.
Even breathing came, knowing that Hanyu was asleep. Dye Qing pinched her thigh, so that the pain made her wake up, she couldn't sleep, if something really hit her, or if it was snowing outside, burying the gap in the entrance, then the two of them might die in their sleep.
When there was only one person left, I couldn't help but let my emotions overflow, and my chest was thick with sadness. If she really can't hide from being buried in the Beibi Mountains today, then no one will ever know her whereabouts, whether it is Empress Hua Jin, or Nan Yuechen, or ...... He.
Inevitably, I thought of him again, because she was also afraid, and she was also vulnerable. Except for hugging Hanyu in his arms and chatting for comfort, he couldn't do anything. Ah Li...... My heart was calling, I wanted to lean into his arms and cry loudly, she was just a woman.
The dead silence inside and the howling wind outside are two very different worlds.
Suddenly, there was a "bang", and something landed on the tree shed that they were blocking outside. "Sister?" Hanyu opened her misty eyes and was awakened by the loud noise. Dye Qing was also shocked, I don't know what smashed over, but fortunately it didn't crush their shed, but I can resist this time, what about next time?
Han Yu instinctively went to pull her hand, but was shocked to find that it was unusually cold, and the palm of her hand was burning. poked into his forehead and exclaimed, "Sister, you have a high fever!" Dye Qing smiled bitterly, no wonder it was cold and hot, but the body couldn't stand it. After a long period of wandering, living a life of eating and sleeping in the open, and the physique was weak during pregnancy, I was accidentally caught by the cold. It's really the worst thing that happened to her, Tang Seng Xitian has nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties in learning scriptures, and she has experienced a lot of tribulations, when will God let her go?
With a heavy weight on her shoulders, Han Yu actually untied her padded jacket and took it off to wrap her, with her body temperature on it. But, "No, Hanyu, you're going to freeze to death like this." "It's just a single coat inside, how can you survive in this temperature of more than ten degrees below zero? I was in a hurry to take it off, but I was hugged tightly by Hanyu, and said in her ear: "Sister, I have internal strength to withstand, you don't have to think about yourself, you have to think about the child." ”
Having said that, Dye Qing didn't struggle anymore, the child was her weakness, and now she was sick again, she was most afraid that something would happen to the child. It's been more than four months, and the baby has been formed, and it also feels the loneliness and fear of its mother.
Baby, you must bless your mother and aunt to survive this catastrophe safely.
