"Brother"

“.”

"Brother"

"Dude"

"What? Not sleeping yet. ”

"Brother, do you feel cold?"

“.”

Sakakihara was quiet for a moment before replying:

"At the moment, all the clothes and blankets that can be covered have been covered."

"But it's still cold."

"You see that July, Liuli and Zhixue are all asleep, do you want to squeeze more into July's arms?"

Tianhai Qimingyue: "I'm also cold." ”

"You didn't sleep in July?"

"Can't sleep."

"Where's the glass?"

"Nor at all"

“yuki？”

"Didn't sleep."

Okay, the feelings are not asleep.

Outside the tent, the wind and snow were blowing, and the only remaining temperature inside the blanket was slowly eroded by the pervasive cold air.

To be honest, Sakakihara also felt cold.

The temperature in the early morning in the mountains is a few degrees lower than in the city

It was pitch black above her head, and Suzu Sakakihara shrank her head into the quilt, "I don't really want to freeze to death here tonight."

Tianhai Qimingyue on the side's voice was still flat: "It's very likely." ”

Suzu Sakakihara turned her head to look at her, "Sister July, aren't you afraid?" ”

"I can only say that it's not bad to die together."

"Don't say anything so scary, okay?"

"July~~" Tianhai Jiuliuli deliberately dragged out his voice.

Tianhai Qi Mingyue closed her eyes, and also pulled the blanket to her face and covered her nose, "I know, I know." ”

"Ah Ling is already scared, so don't scare her on purpose. Why don't you talk about something fun? ”

"Can't think of it."

"What a joke then?"

"I can't tell. Brother wants one? ”

"Why did it suddenly pull me, I only have bad jokes."

"It's such a cold day, so don't talk about it."

Suzu Sakakihara was very depressed. Everyone doesn't seem to take the status quo seriously.

This is in the mountains of Hokkaido at minus a few degrees Celsius!

Sakakiwara Suzu, who was very scared, turned to the side and reached out to push the girl's shoulder, "What is Yuki thinking?" yuki，yuki？ ”

Amami no Yuki stared blankly at the top of her head, and she didn't react until Suzu Sakakihara called her three times in a row.

"Huh?"

"What is Yuki thinking?"

"If you want everyone to die together. Isn't it better to lie in a coffin. ”

"Ahhh!!hhh

Suzu Sakakihara couldn't hold back at all and got up suddenly.

The other four people in the bed looked at her at the same time.

"I ——!! No more!! ”

"Ah Ling, what are you going to do?"

"Cold! I'm going out to make a fire! ”

Tianhai Qimingyue half-closed her eyes, "There is a cold wind outside the tent, it is better to lie in the bed." ”

Sakakihara was speechless, "Stupid girl." ”

Tianhai Jiuliuli also hurriedly said, "Yes, Ling, how can it be warm outside here." Why don't you come between me and July, and the two of us hold you? ”

"Don't! I'm going out and making a fire. ”

Sakakihara Le persuaded: "Ah Ling, it's so cold outside, I'm afraid the snow is piled up dozens of centimeters thick, come and stay in the tent better." ”

The snow of the sea also persuaded in the same way: "At least everyone can die together." ”

Sakakihara Raku: "."

"I don't want to die together! My life hasn't started yet, I'm not even an adult yet! I, I'm going to die. Wait until I'm 100 years old before I die! ”

"My sister-chan will live to be 100 years old?"

"Why can't I? I'm super fit! No, I'm just going out and making a fire anyway. ”

As she spoke, Suzu Sakakihara put on the padded jacket that was draped over the blanket. After a while, he took a lighter and walked out of the tent.

"Brother won't go out and persuade me?"

"I'm cold. Why don't you go in July? ”

"I'm cold too. Sister goes. ”

"Maybe Suzu will come back when she feels colder outside?"

Sakakihara reached for his phone next to his pillow, turned on the screen, and looked at the time with the remaining power.

The time was 3:01 a.m.

Still no signal.

The weather list still has tonight's temperature predicted by the morning weather forecast, Sakakihara squinted his eyes and clicked on it. -11 degrees Celsius.

This has been outside for a long time, and it can really freeze people to death.

Sakakihara also despaired of the status quo.

With tonight's snowfall, the road up and down the mountain will definitely be blocked by snow.

In addition, a few people basically have no food rations, let alone waiting for rescue, and several people will starve to death here.

Unless a few snow hare pop out of nowhere tomorrow morning, all of them will die on the stump near the tent.

"I remember."

"What?"

"The male protagonist in "Love Letter" died in the mountains of Hokkaido, and it was also a snowy day, and he accidentally stepped on a cliff with the expedition team."

Tianhai Jiu Liuli: "Don't say anything scary in July." ”

"It's a fact that every year people get lost in the mountains of Hokkaido. Maybe it's time for us to be on the list this year. ”

“.”

These words sounded really terrifying at this time, and several people could be said to be completely in a desperate situation.

The national highway was blocked by snow, and I came to this wilderness mountain in all directions, and it coincided with the closure of the mountain by a heavy snowstorm

If it weren't for the temporary availability of a good place to set up camp, Sakakihara thought that several of them would have been buried in the snow by now.

"Are you afraid of July?"

"What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid we won't be able to get out tomorrow, and we won't have food."

"Don't be afraid."

"Why?"

"I probably think that if everyone can die together, there is nothing to worry about and remember."

"No regrets?"

"Regret is that the good days will end in a few days."

Ruri seems to have this idea too

"Why hasn't my sister-chan come back yet, and I haven't seen a fire at the door of the tent."

Sakakihara Lek propped up his body and looked out of the tent that was pulled up, and when he heard the wind and snow howling outside, he subconsciously felt something wrong, "I'll go out and have a look." ”

"Lejun, clothes."

"Okay."

Riso got dressed and got up, and Sakakihara quickly went to the door of the tent and unzipped the tent.

The cold air outside suddenly hit his face, and the wind and snow hit his face coldly at the same time, making him subconsciously half-close his eyes.

"Ah Ling!"

Sakakihara stepped out of the tent, and all he could see was the darkness in the forest.

Looking sideways, the accumulated snow at the entrance of the tent was more than half a meter high, and the entire hexagonal tent seemed to be embedded in the ground for dozens of centimeters.

Sakakihara looked at the fire that had been lit more than an hour earlier, long since it had been buried in a thick layer of snow.

But. Where did Ah Ling go?

Sakakihara began to look around.

"Ah Ling!"

"Ah Ling!"

"Ah Ling!"

"Ahh

Sakakihara walked around to the back of the tent, and only then did he see Suzu Sakakihara trying to light a fire with a lighter under a tree not far away.

Sakakihara walked over and stood behind her and watched for a moment.

She tried very hard with the lighter in her hand, but there was no velvet, let alone a fire, and in this weather, the lighter had to be extinguished as soon as it was lit.

"You can't burn if you do this."

“.”

After trying it, Suzu Sakakihara seemed to give up and sighed.

"Isn't it cold for you to stay outside?" Sakakihara came to her side, curled up his hands, and crouched in the same place as her.

It's cold to stay inside."

Sakakihara estimated that she was frightened by everyone's words, and everyone said that she was dead.

"It was all a joke. Don't worry about that, we'll be able to go out tomorrow, July said that this heavy snow won't last long. ”

You want to lie to me again. I can hear it outside, it's snowing so much tonight, I won't be able to walk tomorrow."

"Scared?"

"Or else?" Suzu Sakakihara continued to try to make a fire.

"Give me the lighter."

"What?"

"I'll help you make a fire."

Sakakihara had no good way to comfort his sister at the moment, and when he saw that she insisted on making a fire, he turned back to the tent and brought over the extra dry firewood that had been prepared for the evening.

Hold the lighter with one hand and use toilet paper and some dried pine leaves as velvet.

After the fire and smoke, Sakakihara Raku picked up the velvet ball and blew it in the palm of his hand.

The flames and black smoke grew louder and louder. When Sakakihara saw the flames come out, he placed them on the ground that he had pushed away, stacked small branches on top of them, and finally put some large branches.

"Ah Ling, you squat over there."

"Oh."

In order to prevent the wind and snow from blowing out the flames, both of them tried their best to block the cold wind at night with their bodies.

Under Sakakihara's operation, a bonfire with swaying warm colors soon appeared.

Suzu Sakakihara stretched out her hand, her mouth spitting white mist, and her face in the darkness was immediately illuminated by the firelight.

"My brother is amazing."

"It should be said that Ah Ling, you forgot all the previous things."

"What did I forget?"

"When we were children, didn't we often go to the back mountains of our hometown to play?" Sakakihara also held out his hand towards the bonfire, "I built you a secret base made of banana leaves and branches, forgot?" ”

"That's."

"Ah Ling, didn't you always like to run over there to play? Especially on rainy days, if you have nothing to do, you like to hide there to watch the rain and sometimes pull me over, let me help you make a fire, if there is a freshly caught fish in the fake house, you always like to let me roast you to eat. That's when you asked me to teach you how to make a fire. ”

Suzu Sakakihara spun her palm on the flames, "Brother, you forgot everything when you were a child, why didn't you forget that?" ”

Sakakihara also stared at the dancing bonfire, "I'm a sister control, how can I forget these things." ”

"Hah! Dude, you finally admit it! ”

"Didn't I admit it a long time ago?"

"Hmph, I told you before, you still don't want to admit it!"

"That's in front of outsiders, how can I be embarrassed to say that."

probably said something that Ah Ling likes to hear, and her mood is a lot better, but it's not too good.

The temperature of the campfire can only drive away a little cold.

"What if we do die here?"

"Don't worry, before you die, your brother will die first."

"Say stupid things every day! Say! Are you deliberately comforting me? ”

"Or else?"

"Why did you come and comfort me?"

"Seeing you're scared, it's as simple as that."

"Brother"

"Well, yes, yes."

"You're not cold."

"Cold."

"How about you lean a little closer to me?"

"Okay."

The snow is falling continuously.

In a trance, the bonfire was much smaller because of the lack of firewood.

Probably because of the heat and the fading of the light, Suzu Sakakihara became nervous.

"I suddenly want to pee."

Sakakihara was stunned for a moment, and then by the faint light of the fire, he saw the blush on Suzu's face in the darkness, "Go." ”

"I'm scared."

"Weren't you quite bold in the haunted house before?"

That's because Ruri-sa and Yuki are around. Now it's just you."

This kind of thing is quite embarrassing.

After all, Ah Ling is so big.

"Or just settle it here?"

"No, if there's a fire here, at least go to the woods on the side."

"You can go there on your own."

"No. I'm scared. What if a wolf pops out of the blue? ”

"Where did the wolf come from in Japan?"

"Polar bears."

"Polar bears are only in the Arctic Ocean and zoos," Sakakihara estimated that Suzu was so scared that his head was not very clear tonight, "but brown bears are still there." ”

"yes, there's brown bears."

Suzu Sakakihara looked at her weak purple eyes.

"You wouldn't expect your brother to beat a brown bear, would you?"

“.”

Helpless, Sakakihara Le could only take her to the woodland on the side.

Wait until she finds her position, then turn her back and wait.

In the early hours of the morning, there was no light in the mountains, and the cold wind was howling in the valley all the time, and it was pitch black.

This environment is indeed quite depressing, and Sakakihara can only hope that Ah Ling will end it conveniently as soon as possible.

"Dude, you're not going to run away all of a sudden, are you? I'm really scared."

"Who has the time to joke at this time? Okay, hurry up, hurry up, I'll wait for you. ”

I waited for two minutes, but there was no movement.

"What? Don't want to pee? ”

".not"

"Hurry up, then."

"Ah Ling?"

Suzu Sakakihara was nervous in her voice in the dark.

"No, no, no"

"Scared?"

"Hmm"

"Then you can get up, don't be convenient."

"Dude, come closer."

"What?"

Sakakihara Letsu estimated that Ah Ling was too scared at this time, and stayed alone in the woods in a place so dark and without any moonlight, so he walked over for the reason of accompanying her.

Seeing her squatting in front of her, Sakakihara consciously turned his body over.

"Hands"

"What do you want me to do?"

"Leading"

"Still holding my hand?!"

"Well, I'm afraid."

Okay, okay, okay

Sakakihara Raku handed her his hand, and it was quickly grasped.

Ah Ling clenched tightly

Sakakihara could feel that she was genuinely scared.

Don't think about it."

"Who has that spare time, you do it quickly."

“.”

Ah Ling was completely silent.

"Not already?"

"Dude."

"What? Please hurry up if it's convenient, it's cold outside, and I don't want you to catch a cold. ”

"Dude"

"It's all said, hurry up—"

"Brother, look over there, look over there."

"What?"

Sakakihara turned his head, and in the direction that Suzu had said, he shone the flashlight, but it was still pitch black, and he couldn't see anything.

"Ah Ling, what are you shouting? What's over there, brown bears? Or is it haunted? ”

"Not a brown bear!" Sakakihara Suzu was obviously excited, "Brother, take a closer look!" Take a closer look! ”

At the request of his sister, Sakakihara squinted his eyes this time, and while shining the flashlight over, he tried his best to observe the distance. What kind of thing is between the pine trees.

"Dude! Haven't you seen it yet?! ”

"No, don't worry."

Not birds, not rabbits, not brown bears.

In the sky full of snowflakes, a white mist drifted through the forest, slowly upward.

Sakakibara wondered, in this winter, with wind and snow, how could there be white fog fluttering in the mountains and forests at night

I'm afraid it's really haunted?
