Chapter 5: The Woman Under the Ice

The crying, wailing, and calling sounds of the outside world are incomprehensible to Xu Qian. She lay quietly in the transparent capsule bed, her eyes closed...... As everyone left, everything was quiet again, a capsule bed, a beautiful woman, a bottle of drip that was still going on, and a man dressed in white, who sat on the edge of the bed with a stack of papers, muttered to himself as usual:

'Flying snowflakes, snow-covered mountains, even birds and beasts do not like to care for this towering city-snowy city, this is a desolate city, 100,000 years ago because of one person, the whole city was overturned, and now here is an endless white snow. It snows all year round, and there is no grass and no people. The only kind of creature that survives here - the snow fox, the snow fox can endure the cold here and suffer from hunger. When you are sleepy, you take the snow as a blanket, and when you are thirsty, you drink snow water. Every year on April 6, you will go down the mountain once you have a full meal, and you will come back to hibernate.

On April 6 of this year, a flock of snow foxes flew across the snow and skipped across the ice, dancing in the air with their light and dexterous bodies. The older snow foxes will try to urge them to go and come back as quickly as possible, so that the ice crystals in their bodies do not melt and they die. This is a test of death, but also a battle to survive, and there is no snow fox who does not take it seriously.

"It's beautiful, she's really beautiful. A small-tailed snow fox stopped, pausing at the beauty under the ice.

"Xiao Qi, go quickly, it's too late if you don't leave. The fluffy three-tailed snow fox urged.

The little tail snow fox did not leave, it pressed its face to the ice to admire the beautiful woman, and its companions passed one by one, they did not want to stay, for them time is life. The three-tailed snow fox waited for a while, and ran forward with the group in a hurry. The little tail snow fox wondered to the woman in the ice: "Who are you?", the woman did not reply, her closed eyes were motionless, the little tail snow fox snorted at the ice, the ice was too thick to melt. It looked at the woman reluctantly, walked and turned around, and after reaching about 50 meters, it began to run, although it wanted to save the woman under the ice, but it couldn't, the ice was too thick. After running for several hours, it still did not catch up with the group, they were long gone, and it was alone in the vast sea of snow. It went back to the ice, it was prostrate on the ice, the soft light of the setting sun hit the woman's face, she was as beautiful as a fairy from the sky, without a trace of dust.

"Wake up, wake up!" the woman's ear called. She didn't know where the voice was coming from, it seemed close, close, close...... She wanted to open her eyes to see who was calling her, but her world was dark, dark, and her eyelids were so heavy that she couldn't open them. She looked around her, it was so dark that she tried to take a few steps, but she couldn't tell the way. She started running, for a long, long time in the dark, she was tired of running, there was no exit here, only endless darkness. She crouched down in despair, burying her head and crying.

"Why are you crying?" the little tail snow fox thought to herself as she looked at the woman in front of her with her eyes closed and crying.

"Do you hear my voice?Who are you?Where are you?" The woman lifted her buried head, but no one answered her, and it was still dark.

The small-tailed snow fox squeaked around the ice, scraping the ice with its claws, trying to dig out the woman under the ice with its paws.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak......." Countless sharp and piercing sounds seem to pierce the eardrum, and it is extremely uncomfortable to listen to. She kept running in the direction from which the sound came, trying to break through the darkness and find the light. However, in vain, she still could not escape from this darkness, and she longed for the light. She didn't know how long she had been asleep in this dark world, and every time she woke up like this, and then fell asleep in the darkness in despair, waking up, falling asleep, and so on. Now that voices were heard again in this quiet and terrible darkness, and for so long, she had made a firm decision that she had to go out, that she could not stay in this hellish place any longer. She felt that she was on the verge of madness, but she was also helpless, she thought about strangling herself, but she couldn't, there was an invisible force that kept stopping her. Such a long period of loneliness, the stars have shifted for 100,000 years, she doesn't know that time has passed 100,000 years, she only knows that she has repeatedly woken up and fallen asleep in despair countless times in this dark world.

She tried to call for help, shouting for help, but no one could hear her, she was desperate, she collapsed, and tears kept flowing from the corners of her eyes.

The little tail snow fox persisted for 5 days, and the claws were already blurred with flesh and blood, and the blood stained the ice red, so thick that the little snow fox couldn't dig through it at all. It didn't know why it was so frightened that it wanted to dig out the woman, and it looked at the bloody claws, lying tired on the ice. God can't allow it to rest, the black oppressive clouds are densely covered with the sky close at hand, the thunder rolls, lightning pierces the sky, the little tail snow fox climbs up, hunched his back carefully step by step on the ice, every step is painful. It looked around and found that the snow was falling everywhere, but the snow did not fall on it here, and the ice surface that was not covered by snow was more than 1,100 meters long and 120 meters wide, like an ice stream. It pondered whether to avoid the crazy and raging lightning, and in the interval of thinking, a lightning bolt struck, and the little tail snow fox, which had no time to hide, cut off its own tail, and a small half of its tail was ignited.

The woman saw a little starlight in the darkness, and she rushed to the point of light. The ice cracked, the whole snowy city trembled, the woman under the ice flew out, the broken ice flakes shot out in the air, and the woman hugged the little snow fox with a broken tail and protected it in her arms. Snow Fox looked at the beautiful woman in a plain white dress in front of her, holding it in a circle in the air with one hand, and transforming a snow shield with the other hand to block the lightning that struck again. Could this be the legendary snow god? The little snow fox with a broken tail remembered the legend of the clan, and it thought that she should be the snow god.

The little snow fox squeaked and looked at the woman in front of her adoringly.

The woman was about to answer, but found that she was saying "a ba a ba a ba a ba........ , unable to pronounce accurately, she can only simply say monotonous words like a dumb person, and she is very sad. What she wanted to say was, "I don't know who I am, and who is the snow god?" But communication became an obstacle, and she scanned everything in front of her, and she didn't know where it was except snow. She didn't know where she was going, looking at the little snow fox with a broken tail in her hand, she stroked its wound and used the snow to conjure a snow-white tail for it. After the tail was connected, the wound was gone, and the snow tail instantly became a living tail, the long fluffy white tail was wagging and shaking, and the little snow fox was very happy, it was no longer a small tail snow fox, but had a normal tail. It happily jumped from the woman's arms onto the snow, and when it first touched the snow, the pain in the soles of its feet forced it to fall. The woman crouched down and stroked the injured snow fox, a snowflake-like light at the center of her eyebrows. She closed her eyes and stroked the injured part of the snow fox with her hand, and several beams of light shot out from the center of her eyebrows, the beams stayed on the affected area, and the wound healed and recovered as before. The snow fox tried to take a step, it didn't hurt, it happily took another step, it jumped happily. The woman followed the snow fox, closed her and felt the light, bathed in the snow, it was a snow that washed the soul, washed away the horror and despair in the darkness, she opened her arms to feel the wind, the wind raged wildly over her dress and her long hair as white as snow, a smile of incomparably bright face, lightning and thunder seemed to fear that this woman would never dare to come out again, except for this snow that she rejoiced ......

After reading two pages, he would get up and gently move his chair aside, fluently pick up the paper full of words, and then quietly leave Xu Qian's room.
