The ball of fire, which was only the size of a palm, burned silently in the dark and dead silence of the cavern, as if the little sound of the crackling and burning of the flames was swallowed up by the endless darkness, and the empty fire ball was closer to the tall man's body, and the light reflected by the flames was just enough to cover the man's cheeks.

Sora looked at the man's sleepy face through the glimmer of the flames, thinking that this would make the tall man warmer. This is the warmth you have given me, and I will hand it to you now.

Then there was a period of incalculable time of watching and waiting, sleepiness and tiredness, loneliness and coldness, tormenting the empty body and mind all the time in the following minutes, he did not dare to sleep, nor did he want to appear cowardly and timid, he hoped that he could be effective against the two men, and when they fell, how could he only know fear and tears.

His eyelids seemed to be poured with heavy lead water, and the empty head kept drooping, but a wolf howl came from outside the cave, which startled Sora's heart, so he tried to straighten up again, and continued to resist the disturbing sleepiness.

"Wolves, you won't find this side, will you?" Sora held his curled body with one hand, and the other hand was still holding the tiny flame. He had a bad illusion in his mind, that if they were besieged by hungry wolves in the tall coma, they would be the ones who would be reduced to food.

There was another terrible wolf howl, as if they could hear the hunger and grinding of their teeth and the blood contained in the cry, and imagine the beasts that were so hungry that their eyes were red with blood, and the smell of the blood lost by men found here, and they followed the smell of food, wandering in the snow outside the cave, guided by hunger and thirst, how long before the wolves would find them in the cave?

Every time I thought of this, Sora's back trembled, and every wolf howl constantly increased the anxiety and fear in Sora's heart. But in his heart, there is still a feeling that is persistently rooted.

"What should I do?" Sora moved his body against the wall, but his ass suddenly felt panicked, and he got up and looked at it suspiciously, the spear that had been held by the tall man was lying quietly on the ground, and there were snowflakes blowing in from the hole on the ground.

His heart moved, his hands gently picked up the spear, the body of the spear was flat on the surface of his hand, his empty hands were trembling, he had not imagined, imagining this old weapon that was judged by its appearance alone, how many times it was born and died by the man's side. He was the only one around, and he had a chance to notice the detailed appearance of the weapon, and his fingers stroked the mottled patterns on it, and suddenly it bounced up like an electric shock, and he realized that it was blood, whose blood was it? Whose blood was it? The spear suddenly became extremely heavy in his hand.

"Today should be the day of my assessment. Sora glanced at the man next to him again, even though he felt that he had a thousand catties in his hand, he still held it, and he straightened the corner scarf with the wind, and the spread scarf could cover the man's upper body. He learned what he remembered when he woke up every night, leaning against the wall, grabbing his arms, holding the hand of the flame and continuing to place it in front of the man, turning his head and staring earnestly at the outside of the cave, learning from the watchful figure of the man, who was unconscious at his feet.

He made up his mind that if something came in from outside, he would fight them to the death with his spear.

"Really, it's cold. "The empty opening, the breath of the breath quickly cooled and faded, it was probably the middle of the night, and the temperature at this time could even reach minus ten degrees, which was still a normal situation without heavy snowfall.

"So every night when I fell asleep by the fire, was this how you endured the sleepiness and cold, and guarded all night?" said Sora, looking around to the area where no one could respond. He suddenly understood what kind of mood and consciousness this man had to be such a tenacious guard, and understood the reason why he was able to hold the spear.

So his empty hand also clenched the barrel of the gun to meet the long night.

Empty eyes became dry and uncomfortable, he had never experienced to endure the cold and loneliness all night like this, and he even wanted to pull out his eyes.

A dreamlike sound sounded in my ears, something touched the back of the hand holding the flames, and there was an unusual movement, as if there was suddenly an extra person in this cave. Empty for a moment, quickly turned around.

But he didn't even see it clearly, the huge force locked his wrist, and the whole body was overturned to the ground by force majeure, he felt the weapon in his hand being dragged away, although he clenched the gun hard, but the force of the attack was so great that it seemed to tear off his fingers together, he had to let go of his hand, and the person who snatched the weapon pressed the empty body to the ground, and the empty could not move at all.

Sora gasped and looked at the man who was looking at him up close, he had never seen such a tall man look like this, gritting his teeth and muscles tightened, as if facing an enemy, his bloodshot eyes were even no different from the beasts outside, with strong hostility and aggression.

But Sora was not surprised or frightened by the man's behavior, or that he didn't have time to pay attention to it, the reason he gasped was simply that he was too excited, and no matter how dry his eyes were, he couldn't contain the tears that poured out of his frenzy.

Even the spear that was snatched away by the man was already pointed at a distance of less than a decimeter on his forehead.

"You, you're finally awake," said Sora, "great, I'm still here, I'm still afraid that you'll never wake up." ”

The tall man recognized the person in front of him, he let go of his hand in a panic, the spear was thrown aside, looking very embarrassed, "You, you are not frightened, I thought it was ...... when I saw the fire burning next to me for the first time" He stammered to explain, "I, my fault." ”

Sora shook his head, squatted and wiped away his tears, "I'm glad that you're still alive." ”

"It's almost half dead," the tall man leaned against the wall to adjust his breathing, and as soon as he woke up, he immediately tensed his nerves and moved violently, which made his already injured body even more unbearable, and a fainting rest did not bring him any healing, "When I fell asleep, did anything happen?"

He squinted at Sora, who was still sobbing, and he should have said something like "A man has been crying like a little girl" with a disgusted face, but then he just watched silently, waiting for Sora to cry for a long time before he began to answer, maybe he was too tired to say more, or maybe it was something else.

"No, I've been keeping an eye on the hole, but nothing is close," Sora didn't really exaggerate and kept crying, he just needed a little time to relax, "but there was a constant wolf howl outside, and luckily we weren't spotted." ”

"The wolves in the neighborhood are pouring out because there is so much bleeding in this place," the tall man propped himself up against the wall, trying to stand up, "help me get my gun, we should go." ”

"Now, do you want to go back to the carriage?" Sora asked as he stepped over to help.

"Even if you stay, the situation in this neighborhood will not improve, there will be more and more wolves, they will all die anyway, rather than freezing to death and starving to death in the snow, it is better to seek prey until the last moment, and there is a more troublesome threat," the tall man looked out of the cave, and as soon as he awoke, he returned to the watchman, always on alert, as if the whole world was his enemy.
