"Thank you! Thank you!" the frustration of the group of soldiers leaving the organization after receiving the money was swept away. After finally instructing them not to reveal our whereabouts, I watched them run away happily, turned to Erin and said, "What are these three cars?"
"Food, clothes, gear, and my 'something'. Erin said, pointing to the largest package of the largest package.
"Something! If I believe your nonsense, I'm crazy. "I rushed up and pulled the three carts apart, and almost every bag contained the clothes and jewelry I had bought for Erin, stuffed full. I beckoned Locke and some of the guards to come over and threw a lot of inconsequential things to the ground, including Irene's gadgets, of course, and stomped them to pieces.
"Hey, what are you doing! let go!" Erin was immediately anxious when she saw the miserable state of her things. I rushed off the horse and tried to pull my hand away, but how could I have more strength than a woman like Erin?
The speed at which we threw things did not slow down in the slightest. After only 5 minutes, the dozens of sacks in front of me turned into a pitiful 7 bags. Looking at these little things that could almost be carried on my back, I patted them like Irene's done after packing up and smiled with satisfaction. The woman next to me was angry and kicked me hatefully.
"Put on your back, put the rest on your pack horse!" I commanded, pulling up my horse and preparing to go.
"Hey, hey, wait for us!" a familiar voice came from ahead. I squinted and saw three tall men riding towards me, the leader with blond hair standing out in the snow.
"Bob! "The three men were getting closer, and sure enough, it was Thomson and Bob, and the soldier I had sent out to find these two guys.
"Long time no see!" Bob, who hadn't seen me in a year, and the two of them were much stronger than before, "How's it going?"
"It's boring! It's better to fight. "I was tired of living in that splendid fortress made of stones, and I wanted to get out of it, but Irene refused. This time I killed Gangde, and I just happened to be able to leave here, killing two birds with one stone, why not?
Haha, it looks like we're having a good time!" Thomson put his arms around a mocking Bob, and the two laughed together.
"Hey, you two are still up with me! I don't see you hit anything!" I saw them laughing, a little angry.
"How can you say that? We have hunted roe deer, snow wolves, snow leopards, and elk, and we have to change them every day, and we have a much more interesting life than you. "Bob is a treasure.
"Aren't you married yet?" Seeing their intimate appearance of hugging and hugging, I was really worried for a while, and I couldn't help but laugh when I thought about it.
"Ahem!" the two of them immediately let go of their hands when they heard me say this, and said together with a serious face, "I'm not gay." β
"Haha!" Irene, who was angry at me for throwing away her things, laughed at the funny looks of the two of them, and the charming appearance turned the attention of the surrounding guards to her.
"Lord Kallad, it's time to go. Locke reminded.
"Oh, then we're leaving. As soon as I pulled the reins, Bob suddenly remembered something and said, "Are you sure you're going to go? β
"Blizzard?!"
Blizzard? I was stunned, the legendary tyrant on the snowfields of Vergia!
"How come? We've done so many times without a blizzard?" said Erin, looking a little scared.
"There's no way around it now, even if it's a blizzard ahead, you have to go, or you'll be caught by that old fellow Harlaus. I muttered, and Thomson nodded in agreement.
"Butβ" Several of the guards looked reluctant to hear the blizzard ahead. I looked at them and said, "Those who are willing to stay will come with me, and the salary will be 20 dinars a week." Others can go back if they don't want to go with me for 500 dinars each. β
The guards' eyes glowed with gold, and only one of the six stayed after a moment's hesitation. "Good boy!" said Locke, patting the slightly young soldier, with a smile.
"Let's go! it's hard to solve it if you procrastinate. "Our group saw that things were settled, pulled the reins, and met the challenge of the blizzard.
What the hell!" Thomson scolded.
The blizzard is as formidable as the legend suggests. As soon as we left the fort, we saw its figure, raging furiously across the snowfield. It whipped up a snow-white wind on the ground. And those snowflakes as hard as stones rolled in with the chaotic air current, and immediately hit the face with a bruise. The blizzard swooped through the woods, whistling and furiously at us, sweeping us into a terrible maelstrom.
"Riding a horse in a blizzard is tantamount to death! We're going to abandon our horses!" Locke, a native of Wikibian, clearly knows more about blizzards than we do.
"Dismount and dismount!" I shouted as I shivered and was ached by the cold wind. As he dismounted, he patted off the ice edges in his hair. The young soldier clasped his hands around his chest because of the cold, and the snot that flowed out was frozen into a ball, and the verdant hung on the big red nose, and when he sucked it, he fell off a piece, and was swept away by the galloping wind, and disappeared without a trace.
"Damn, how long are we going to stay in this storm!" Bob's bag of dry food was not fastened tightly, and the snowflakes flew into the storm-obscured sky. Annoyed, Bob raised his foot and tried to step on it hard, but was hit in the forehead by a flying pine nut, and he lost his balance and was almost knocked over.
"I don't know! this is just the beginning!" Locke carefully helped Erin off his horse. This little girl has been beaten several times on her face, and she can't bear to call it out, otherwise the snowflakes will hit her mouth.
"What do you have to do? Wait for death?" Thomson saw that Bob's dry food bag was swept away, and hurriedly pulled the dry food bag on his body, and only after making sure that it was tightly fastened did he continue to move forward, but he did not know that his bag had been cut by a sharp stone, everything was spilled, and most of the food flew away, leaving only a pitiful little frozen on the ground, and this time he had to starve.
"Our top priority is to find a cave! Otherwise, we'll either be swept away, killed by the debris in the air, or frozen into cute ice sculptures!" Locke said as he rubbed his hands together and looked at Erin, who was almost shoveled away by the wind because she was too lightweight.
"But we can't even see the tree ten meters away!" Bob said suspiciously, looking around, and laughed when he saw the scratched bag on Thomson's back, and Thomson slapped Bob's head angrily when he found out, and scolded angrily. Then God willing. "Locke wasn't sure, so he could only lead us slowly.
"Hey, brothers, I know there's a place. Thomson was much happier after beating Bob and smiled.
"Where?" I asked, seeing that Erin was on her feet, hugging her.
"Remember the last time we caught a bear?" said Thomson, smiling at Bob.
"Bear?" Bob rubbed his sore head, "You said you caught it in that cave last time?"
"That's right! I remember the cave was under a cliff not far west of the village of Serozk, and it was deep and warm. Thomson didn't know what fond memories he remembered, and he smiled stupidly.
"What are you talking about, and you are going to mention it again... Hmmm!hmm!" Bob seemed to remember something, and was smiling wickedly, but was just about to say it when Thomson blindfolded him.
"Damn, you dare to say it again... Oops!" said Thomson menacingly, and was struck in the right hand by a stone, and cried out miserably. Looking at the two living treasures, I laughed out loud with Locke and Erin, and even the bruised-faced soldier next to me twitched his lips and laughed.
"!" Thomson rubbed his hands and led us towards the cave.
We walked on the blizzard-ravaged plains of Vecchia, the cold snow stuck to the trouser legs, slowly melted into water by the body temperature, and then froze on the feet again because of a cold wind, the heavy and piercing feeling almost made you unable to step away, and every movement was an unforgettable feeling. After a few hours, I couldn't feel my legs, just following Thomson more and more blurry, and I became more and more tired, until I was hit in the face by flying snowflakes.
"Shhhh Brother Thomson, how long is itβ" The red-nosed soldier sniffed, shook off his already frozen snot with a stroke of his hand, and disappeared into the rapid cold wind.
"What did you say?" due to the strong wind speed, the sound was no longer heard in Thomson's ears.
"How long is it?" the soldier wanted to shout, but his throat was too dry to shout.
"Soon... Soon. Thomson rubbed his bruised hands. The sound of these words made me feel that Thomson, who had always been optimistic, had also lost confidence under the ravages of the blizzard.
"This is the 15th time I've heard this nonsense, is it a bit of a novelty?" the frozen Bob hugged his arms, still joking with Thomson, but the voice didn't sound like much strength.
"Iβ" Thomson was about to argue when he suddenly plopped and fell alone in the snow.
"Who?" Locke exclaimed, though he was shaking, still very "professionally".
I immediately looked behind me when I heard the voice, and a petite figure fell into the snow-white snow, and the flying snowflakes quickly covered her.
"Erin, quick, help!" I exclaimed, my legs full of energy again, and I fluttered in the snow and ran to Erin, who had fallen in the snow, and picked her up.
"Erin, Irene!" I anxiously patted Erin's bloodless face.
She fainted. Quick, let's see if she has frostbite on her first!" Locke, the Wikiman, has a lot more experience in this harsh environment than we do. I tried to wake her up, but Locke pulled Erin's trouser leg up and examined it closely.
"Severe frostbite. We have to find a place at once and make a fire, or the legs will be useless. Locke said after examining the wound, shaking his head.
"How far are we from the cave?" I asked Thomson at once. I don't want to see Erin missing two legs.
"Probably... An hour. Thomson looked around, not quite sure.
"An hour... Well, go faster, maybe there will be salvation. Locke sighed.
...... Half an hour later, we finally came to the cave that Thomson had said, and I couldn't help but be a little scared when it was pitch black and bottomless.
"God forbid! We're here!" shouted Locke and Rednose as they rushed into the cave, and Bob and Thomson immediately ran into the woods looking for firewood. I put Erin down, hoping to wake her up.
"Irene!" I patted her pale face lightly.
"Hmm... Where is this?" asked Erin, who woke up and opened her eyes slightly.
"We're in the cave, it's all right!" I was ecstatic, holding Erin and shaking it gently.
"Oh," Erin shook at me and fainted again.
"It's... I stared stupidly at Erin, who had passed out again. Red Nose looked at me at a loss and laughed, sweeping away the previous hopelessness and helplessness.
"Guys, here's the help!" Thomson and Bob walked into the cave wearily carrying a large handful of firewood. Locke happily took out the flint he had with him and smashed it twice, and the sparks ignited the firewood, and immediately began to burn. The small cave looked much warmer in the red firelight.
"Everybody's thirsty. Come on, help us decorate the snow and come back. Locke took out the iron basin from his backpack and asked Rednose to carry the snow, but he didn't expect him to bring so many things out.
The creep reluctantly walked out, and I baked Erin's feet by the crackling fire to relieve her frostbite.
After a while, Erin woke up again, staring around with big eyes: "Got to the cave?"
"yes... Oops, it's so cold to me outside, I've got to bake it well. Bob said as he squeezed into the warm fire that shone gently over his strong limbs and blonde hair, and a sense of happiness filled it.
"Didn't you say this is a bear hole?" a confused Erin opened her mouth to ask a very idiotic question, which made us laugh. Laughter crashed through the cave, shaking off a few grains of dust.
"Bang!" Rednose quickly returned. He quickly put the snow-filled basin in his hand on the ground, then inhaled the cold air and ran over to warm his feet.
"Boil water, boil water!" I brought the iron basin and gently placed it on the shelf made of wood. Seeing that the snow in the basin was melting, I pulled out the kettle. When I opened the cap, I saw that the water inside had already frozen, so I wrung the kettle into the boiling snow water, boiled the water inside, and then gently took it out, unscrewed the cap and took a big sip.
"Ah~~ It's so comfortable!" the warm water slid down his throat and into his abdominal cavity. I immediately stopped feeling thirsty, so I took a few more sips in a row, feeling the taste of water flowing through my body.
