Chapter 7: Escape
"Where do you want to go?" Tian Ba said coldly.
Tian Ying'er didn't say a word, she snatched the door and left, not caring about the deep snow and freezing, she ran wildly and ran towards the snowy mountain.
Tian Ba hurriedly put the meat in his arms and chased after him, he was strong and strong, and his pace was big, although Tian Ying'er stimulated his greatest potential to run out of his will to survive, but the distance between the two was still gradually shrinking.
The two chased and fled, and after a while, seeing that Tian Ying'er was about to be overtaken, she hurriedly shouted: "Help!"
There was no one nearby, but there happened to be a person who went into the mountains early in the morning to hunt snow rabbits passing by, he was carrying an iron fork on his back, he stopped when he saw this, and looked closely, only to see the daughter of the Yao Si family running over with a panicked expression, and after a while, another person rushed over, but this person was his old acquaintance Tian Ba.
"Tian Ba, what are you chasing a little girl for?" the man rushed over and stopped Tian Ba.
Tian Ba saw Tian Ying'er fleeing away, about to enter the snowy mountain, and it was difficult to catch up again, and now he was entangled again, eager to get out, but fortunately, he was in a hurry, and said: "What nonsense are you talking about, it's not that I'm chasing her, I also ran over when I heard someone shouting for help, but I didn't expect you to stop me, I also want to say that you are an accomplice." ”
The man hurriedly said: "Wronged, I just passed by, what are you chasing her?"
Tian Ba successfully bit back, transferred his suspicion, and said, "Then what do you say is chasing her?"
The man hesitated, "What is it?"
Tian Ba deliberately reminded: "Could it be a beast? Aren't there many snow hare scratched by beasts during this time?"
The man suddenly said: "Yes, it must be a wild beast, I didn't expect that all the beasts have come here, I have to go and tell the patriarch to take precautions." ”
Tian Ba looked at Tian Ying'er's back that was about to disappear, he was annoyed in his heart, but his face was silent, and he said: "Poor daughter of the medicine department, why does she run to the south, the south is full of snowy mountains?"
The man speculated: "I must have been forced by wild beasts, and it is inevitable that I will not choose the way to go." ”
Tian Ba nodded: "It makes sense, let's go to the patriarch together." ”
Under the gloomy sky, a figure is walking alone at the foot of the snow-capped mountain. The snow-capped mountains are tall and majestic, making her figure very small. This person is none other than Tian Ying'er.
She fled from the tribe, and after entering the snow-capped mountains, all the roads and trees were covered by snow, although she had followed Yu often to play in the mountains when she was a child, but at this time she also got lost.
The lower half of her body was soaked, especially her feet, and the wounds on the soles of her feet were frozen again, and when she stepped on the snow, the hard ice pierced into the flesh, and she broke out in a cold sweat. Her face was pale, her lips were purple from the cold, and she shivered slightly, and even her eyelashes were frosted from tears.
At this time, she almost lost the ability to think, she just wanted to find a cave, make a fire, and rest well, otherwise if she continued like this, it would not be long before she would fall under the snowy mountain and never get up again.
She staggered through the snow, one foot deep and one foot shallow, when suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a shadow not far away, and when she looked closely, she saw a ball of snow moving in a southeasterly direction.
"What's that?" she said, a little strange.
The speed of the snow ball was not very fast, and although Tian Ying'er couldn't catch up with it, she never fell by it.
After walking for a long time, the snow group suddenly turned over a col and disappeared, Tian Ying'er chased after it, but she could no longer find its figure.
"Where have you been?" she searched around, but could not find anything, and was so tired that she had to sit down and rest. The location she was in at this time was a valley, and the snow-capped mountains in front and behind were thousands of feet high, and after passing along the valley, there was another snow-capped mountain blocking the way after not going far.
"What the hell is that thing?" Tian Ying'er thought silently, suddenly smiled bitterly, and said in her heart: "I'm really, it's all at this time, what does it matter?"
She looked at the steep snow-capped mountains in the distance, the vast white snow, and knew that it was impossible for her to get out, even if she was not injured, she couldn't get out, not to mention at this time, she felt desperate, but she also had a sense of relief, at least she didn't have to die at the hands of those wicked people, and she could leave a whole corpse after death, and she wouldn't be eaten by them.
She stared at the sky and slowly lay down on the snow, she was so tired that she knew that if she lay down, she would never get up again, but she didn't care.
Not long after lying down, I suddenly heard a few strange screams, and when I opened my eyes, I saw a few crows flying to the side, croaking.
"Even you want to eat me?" Tian Ying'er felt a burst of annoyance, grabbed a handful of snow, and threw it over.
The crows were frightened and flew up, but they did not leave, and fell far away. Apparently they also knew that this man would not live long.
Tian Ying'er was angry and anxious, at this time she was desperate, she just wanted to drive these birds away, she sat up hard, held two balls of snow, and threw them at the crow, which was thrown next to a crow, and the crow flew away, and after a while it fell again.
Tian Ying'er lost the snow ball a few more times, but her strength gradually weakened, and she could no longer pose a threat to the crow, and the crow was indifferent when the snow ball was thrown over.
They croaked as if they were celebrating the food that was about to arrive in their mouths.
Tian Ying'er remembered what happened today, and couldn't imagine that she would be bullied by a few crows when she was dying, so she couldn't help but be full of grievances, and screamed angrily: "Go away for me!"
Her voice was sharp, and she was in the middle of the valley, and her voice reverberated back and forth, and spread far away, like a bell.
The crow was startled and flew out, but soon landed again.
Tian Ying'er burst into tears of despair.
However, at this moment, the snow on the opposite mountain wall was shaken by her voice, and suddenly it boomed and collapsed, revealing a dark hole.
Tian Ying'er was overjoyed, it was really like a desperate situation, she stood up desperately, walked towards the cave, and when she walked to the entrance of the cave, she felt a warm current rushing towards her, and she suddenly felt refreshed.
Seeing that she had entered the cave, the crow remained outside, refusing to leave, and a crow jumped a few steps closer to the mouth of the cave, and suddenly flew away as if frightened.
The light in the cave was dim, Tian Ying'er groped her way forward, and she didn't know how deep the hole was, and after walking for a while, she suddenly stumbled under her feet and almost fell.
"What's that?" she felt as if she had tripped over something. Looking down, it was dark and couldn't see clearly, but there was a smell of blood in his nose, so he turned around, bent over, stretched out his hand and groped, only to feel slimy and soft when he started, it was clearly a person, and he still had body temperature, but he was in a coma.
She was astonished, and gathered some hay, and struck two stones to make a fire, and the light of the fire illuminated the cave and the man's face, and at first glance she shook her body, and could hardly believe her eyes.
That person is clearly Yu!
"He's still alive, why is he here?" Tian Ying'er was surprised and delighted, didn't think much about it, and hurriedly went to check Yu's injuries. The bandages on Yu's hands were still there, but his hands were deformed and twisted, and there was a half-finger-deep wound on his back, which was cut from the shoulder blade to the left rib, and the flesh was blurred, looking very terrifying. As the daughter of the medicine department, Tian Ying'er naturally has a little attainment in medicine, and knows that Yu's biggest problem now is excessive blood loss. Fortunately, the wound had begun to show signs of solidification, she came out of the cave and came back with some clean snow, wrapped it in a handkerchief, soaked the handkerchief, wiped the wound for Yu, and then took off her coat to gently tie the wound.
She didn't care about being tired, so she found more hay and built two fires to help Yu warm up. This hole is quite strange, although the light is dim, there are many weeds and vines, and a warm current slowly gushes outward, and I don't know how deep it is, and where it leads.
Tian Ying'er was done, she was so tired that she sat on the ground, leaning against the cave wall, and didn't want to move, but her expression was full of relief, looking at Yu's miserable white face but beginning to have a trace of blood, she felt that all the grievances she had suffered this day were worth it, she tried not to think about those people in the tribe, just thinking about the present, no matter what, she survived, and more importantly, Yu is still alive, this is the greatest comfort, thinking of this, she couldn't help but show a relieved smile.
The fire flickered, and she was so tired that she closed her eyelids and fell into a deep sleep.
After a few days like this, Tian Ying'er has been taking care of Yu carefully, and when she was hungry, she went outside to hold two snow balls to eat, although it was hard, but she was relieved to see Yu's injuries getting better day by day.
In the evening of this day, there was a sudden wind and snow, in Daze, the wind and snow are very common, but this time the wind and snow are particularly large, the whistling wind resounded through the valley, like a mad demon, the temperature between heaven and earth plummeted, and a long ice ridge formed above the cave entrance, the cold wind blew into the hole, collided with the warm current in the cave, condensed into water, and the water fell to the ground, turned into frost.
Tian Ying'er hurriedly carried Yu to the depths of the cave, so that it was not affected. She put down Yu, she was exhausted, but she still had to find hay to make a fire, and when she came back, she saw the unconscious Yu open her eyes and look straight at her.
"You're awake!" Tian Ying'er only felt that the big stone in her heart had finally landed, and she almost cried with joy.
"Where am I?" Yu propped his elbows on the ground, trying to stand up.
"You can't get up, your injuries haven't healed yet!" Tian Ying'er hurriedly said, "You just need to lie on your stomach!"
Yu gritted his teeth and said, "It doesn't matter, I'll just sit." Without waiting for Tian Ying'er to stop it, her body had changed to a sitting position, but she only touched the wound on her back, frowning in pain.
"Why are you so reckless?" Tian Ying'er said reproachfully.
Yu said: "It doesn't matter. ”
Tian Ying'er said unhappily: "It doesn't matter, what did I tell you that day, let you have a good rest, you want to go into the mountain and get this step of the field, you just take my words as the wind in your ears!"
Yu was silent for a moment and asked, "Why are you here?"
Tian Ying'er told what happened that day, how she eavesdropped, how she was caught, how she escaped, and how she found him.
Yu had a complicated expression when he heard this, with both anger, surprise and worry, and finally said: "It turns out that Aunt Tian was also eaten by them."
Tian Ying'er said indignantly: "None of them are human!"
Yu glanced at her and sighed, "I hurt you." ”
Tian Ying'er said: "The person who harmed us is the patriarch, and your father is not, he is not worthy of being your father at all!"
Yu smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect him to do this to me!"
Tian Ying'er said: "They said you died, how did you escape?"
