Chapter 2: The Mysterious Old Man (Part I)
At this time, it was already dark, Yang Dingtian looked up at the sky, because the cave was too deep, so the originally wide entrance was only the size of a palm, so Yang Dingtian could only see the sky the size of a palm.
At this moment, the moon rose into the sky, and as it passed through the sky above Yang Dingtian, he clearly saw that there were two moons.
Su Dongpo's words say that I wish people a long time, thousands of miles together. But now, the moon is not the same as that seen by the parents, and there are even two moons here.
Sadness and tiredness invaded the sky, and he glanced at the old man not far away, who was still motionless with his eyes closed.
At this point, there's nothing to be afraid of. So, Yang Dingtian also slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.
I woke up again, and it was dozens of hours later.
Yang Dingtian wanted to get up and continued to find a way to get out, looking for a way out of the cave, but found that he couldn't stand up at all. Days and nights of hunger had completely drained the energy in his body, and the calories that had been stored for decades had been exhausted in order to save the old man from melting the thorny icicle.
In the past few days and nights, Yang Dingtian has only drunk a few sips of melted water, has not eaten a mouthful of food, and has shed a lot of blood.
At this time, the sky outside was overcast, there was no sun, and dark clouds pressed up layer by layer.
Immediately after, snow began to fall in the sky, and fist-sized clouds of snow fell from the sky. After a while, heavy snow covered the entire bottom of the cave. The old man still closed his eyes and remained motionless, and gradually his whole body was completely covered with snow, and after almost an hour, the old man's whole body was no longer visible, and he became a snowman.
And the snow on Yang Dingtian's body began to gradually thicken, and the heat on his body could not even melt the snow at this time.
In order not to be buried by the heavy snow, Yang Dingtian shook his head vigorously. But after a while, it was covered by snow again, and Yang Dingtian shook his head again.
Once, twice, three times......
In the end, Yang Dingtian didn't even have the strength to shake his head, and his body completely lost the last trace of heat, watching the snow completely bury himself and his life.
Suddenly, the snow on the old man not far in front of him shook, and the old man moved. He reached into his arms, took out a red object and threw it in the direction of Yang Dingtian.
It was a red pill, and the pill fell on the snow, and the surrounding snow suddenly melted, and on the snow-white snow, the red pill was as dazzling as a flame.
At this time, Yang Dingtian's will to survive made him surge with the last bit of strength, and his body slammed up, opening his mouth to bite the red pill.
As for whether it will be poison or not, what will be the consequences of eating it? Yang Dingtian completely ignored it.
As soon as the pill entered his mouth, it suddenly dissolved in his mouth like a raging fire, burrowing into his abdomen like a flowing flame, and then a stream of heat spread out and flowed into the blood veins of his body.
Suddenly, as if the warm sun of spring was shining on the earth, Yang Dingtian's stiff body began to revive inch by inch.
Soon, the whole body was transformed into a burning furnace again, and it was completely rejuvenated. Even, there was a powerful force rampaging in the body, desperately trying to burst out, Yang Dingtian only felt that he had inexhaustible strength in his body.
"What is this? It's so amazing?" Yang Dingtian was surprised and excited, then walked up to the old man and bowed, "Thank you, old man!"
"However, your body can't resist it, won't you take one?" asked Yang Dingtian.
The old man ignored him, sat down with his eyes closed, let the snow fall on him, and wrapped himself back into a snowman.
Next, no matter what Yang Dingtian said, the other party did not respond.
Yang Dingtian, who was covered in heat, didn't know what to do, the cave was so big, and he shook his fist indiscriminately in the heavy snow, and it was completely chaotic.
The snow became heavier and heavier, and it was piled up about two feet in just half a day, almost completely burying the old man, so every half an hour, Yang Dingtian went over to clean the snow on the old man's body.
"The snow is falling so hard and piling up so fast that I'm afraid it will fill the cave in a few years. "Yang Dingtian said darkly.
Then he couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy, and then rushed to the old man and said, "Old man, old man, I have found a way out, I have found a way to get out." ”
But the old man still didn't respond.
Yang Dingtian did find a way to get out, he could use the snow to make steps to freeze on the wall of the ice cave, the entrance of this cave is about a few thousand meters deep, and the ice and snow steps surround it, and it will take tens of thousands of steps.
As soon as he said and did, Yang Dingtian first used the snow to press a one-foot-long, half-foot-wide, and three-inch thick snow brick, and then pressed this snow brick to the wall of the ice cave, and used his body to melt the snow brick into water, and then condensed into ice, and the snow brick became a smaller ice brick, firmly glued to the cave wall.
It took an hour for Yang Dingtian to successfully make the first step, an ice step more than half a meter high from the ground, and Yang Dingtian stood up, and sure enough, he was able to bear the weight of a person without breaking.
So, Yang Dingtian began to make the second step, and the second step was located thirty centimeters above the first step and thirty centimeters in front. Step by step diagonally so that you can go up, if you go up vertically, you can't walk.
For ten hours, Yang Dingtian worked hard to make less than ten ice steps, and he was exhausted, so he sat down to sleep first, and then continued to work after waking up.
......
Ten days later, Yang Dingtian had made 120 ice steps, and the top step was already 40 meters from the bottom of the cave. In the past ten days, the old man still closed his eyes and did not move, nor did he say a word. And Yang Dingtian is doing ice and snow steps almost every minute and every second, and when he is extremely sleepy, he lies down on the snow and sleeps, and continues to do it after waking up.
However, Yang Dingtian can't continue to do it. Because the snow only stopped for one day, the 120 ice steps had exhausted all the snow in the cave. If you want to make ice steps again, you can only wait for the next snowfall.
Moreover, the energy of the flame pill before was also consumed cleanly. Yang Dingtian's body began to be cold again, and he had no strength in his body again.
Yang Dingtian looked up at the sky, he had never looked forward to the arrival of dark clouds and heavy snow as he did now. But the sky was cloudless, and the sun was shining.
At this moment, the old man suddenly opened his eyes, which was the first time he had opened them in ten days. glanced at the ice steps made by Yang Dingtian, and then glanced at Yang Dingtian.
Yang Dingtian suddenly felt excited, looked at his icy steps proudly, and said excitedly: "Look, old man, this is the step I made, we can go out soon." Rest assured, my steps are made firmly, and when the time comes, I will carry you out. ”
There was no reaction on the old man's face, no admiring gaze, and he slowly closed his eyes again, as if he had seen nothing. However, he took out a pill from his bosom and threw it over.
It was still a fiery pill, and Yang Dingtian quickly picked it up and threw it into his mouth.
Suddenly, the whole body began to burn again, as if it was filled with endless power. He was filled with the desire to scream, but he was afraid of making noise with the old man, so he could only punch desperately and vent the rampant energy in his body.
This pill is so amazing, there is no such magical thing on earth. This thing should be very precious, maybe worth ten thousand gold. With this pill, Yang Dingtian can go without meals for more than ten days or dozens of days, and his body will not lack energy.
It's just that this pill is so precious, but Yang Dingtian doesn't have the slightest idea of taking it for himself, and he doesn't have the idea of stepping forward to snatch the pill at all. Yang Dingtian, who took the pill, couldn't vent his energy all over his body, and he was looking forward to the snow incomparably. As long as it snows, he can sit on the ice steps, and he can leave this ghost place as soon as possible.
Finally, the heavens seemed to hear the prayers of the sun, and it could be that winter was coming. On the fifth day of taking the second pill on Yangding Day, it finally snowed again, although it was not as big as the last time, but it was not small.
Suddenly, Yang Dingtian was almost ecstatic, roaring desperately.
Before I could get a few inches up the snow, I was impatient to start making snow bricks.
Suddenly, the old man's body moved, and the snow on his body shook off. The old man opened his eyes, beckoned to Yang Dingtian, opened his mouth and said two words, although Yang Dingtian still didn't understand, he understood what he meant to let him pass.
Yang Dingtian hurriedly went over and said, "Look, old man, it's snowing again, and we can go out soon." ”
The old man smiled slightly, this was the first time the old man had laughed in more than half a month.
Then, the old man stretched out his finger and wrote a word on the snow, a word that Yang Dingtian did not recognize. Then the old man read the word, and when he had finished reading it, the old man pointed to himself.
Yang Dingtian endured his excitement and said, "Old man, do you want to teach me the words and languages of this world?"
The old man didn't understand what Yang Dingtian said, so he still pointed to the words on the ground and read them again, and then pointed to himself with his finger.
"I guess I mean that when you wrote that. Yang Dingtian said: "Then he wrote the word 'I' on the snow, then read it out slowly, and then pointed to himself." ”
"I ......" the old man listened to it, and he read it accurately, then pointed to the word "me" on the snow, then pointed to himself, and finally wrote the word "I" on the snow with his finger.
Yang Dingtian was suddenly surprised and speechless, this old man is too good. After listening to it only once and reading it once, I will be able to read and write. Yang Dingtian's words have been written very well, but I didn't expect the old man to write my words for the first time to be better than him, iron painting silver hooks, deep into the bones.
Then the old man wrote again on the snow the word he had written at first, then read it again, and pointed to himself again.
Yang Dingtian hurriedly read along, and then wrote it again on the snow, this is the word 'I' in this world.
Yang Dingtian's pronunciation and writing are relatively accurate, the old man smiled slightly, nodded, and then wrote another word on the snow, read it, and pointed to Yang Dingtian.
This time, it should be your word from another world.
