Chapter 217: Avalanche
Calm, peaceful, and silent, Shi Lei is used to such plateau days.
Extraordinary days have finally come.
Suddenly there was a blizzard, and Shi Lei drove the sheep home. When he drove the sheep into the shed, he realized that one of the lambs was missing. He hurried back to look for it.
There was already a thick layer of snow attached to the grass, and the snow was falling so densely that it blocked the view like a white wall. What can I do about this? Shi Lei couldn't help frowning, if he couldn't find it, it would freeze to death. Hurry around and look for it.
Gale wind mixed with blizzard hit Shi Lei's face. Although Shi Lei was wrapped in a thick coat, with thick cotton boots under his feet, and a cowhide hat wrapped around his head, only his eyes and cheeks were exposed, he still felt extremely cold. Was it the darkness of the night and the empty loneliness, coupled with the anxiety of searching for a target that he could not find, that made the fear in his heart resurface?
The heavy snow fell heavier, and the white snow rushed down continuously, like a wall blocking Shi Lei's view. Shi Lei couldn't see the distance clearly, let alone where he was, his heart was hopeful and disappointed, irritable and sad. Shi Lei was extremely entangled, and this long-term and consistent entanglement almost crushed his heart. Weak and unable to beat the spirit, he seems to have gotten used to it, forcedly. is only a few years old, but the whole person is old and a centenarian.
The heavy snow that was blowing down was like fallen leaves, and the big flowers rushed down in a hurry. It didn't take much effort, and the snow on the ground was more than seven or eight centimeters thick. His feet became slippery, and Shi Lei slipped several times. Shi Lei got up and patted the snow on his hat and body. It's like walking halfway up a mountain, because there's darkness ahead of you that is different from the rest. He stood still, not daring to go forward, and he stood quietly, but unexpectedly heard the bleating of the lamb.
He was so happy that he hurriedly followed the sound and ran there, stepping on the soles of his feet without paying attention, and rolling down the hill with his whole bones. In a trance, he heard a piercing loud bang, and then a rumbling and terrifying explosion exploded on it, was it an avalanche? Shi Lei thought to himself: This is the end.
It was indeed an avalanche.
Shi Lei suddenly felt as if he was covered by a black curtain. The flying snow rushed towards Shi Lei with a strong impact. When Shi Lei was hit by the snow, it felt like a truck had hit him hard. After that, Shi Lei was still awake, and there was a heavy feeling pressing on him, and he couldn't move. He was awake, his arms, waist, and legs aching.
It was still dark all around. The snow around them began to harden and stiffen. Suffocation, horror, exhalation of heat turned snow into hard rock!
Shi Lei used all his strength to try to lift the snow on his body. However, it was very disappointing to him.
The snow that weighed on the body was like concrete, solid and heavy.
Shi Lei tried several times, but finally couldn't move.
Finally, Shi Lei gave up.
Shi Lei tried to open his eyes, only to see a cloud of black. I don't have any intention of opening my eyes, because I can't see anything, so it's better to close my eyes. If you close your eyes, you may be able to "see" the sun, see how beautiful the outside world is, and see your flock running on the sun-growing lawn.
Those good times in the past, friends who grew up playing, happy things, sad things...... The scenes seemed to float in front of me.
When I thought about that time I went home, I opened the door and saw the ink...... It wasn't until now, now buried in a snowdrift, that his mental consciousness returned to the present.
It became more and more difficult to breathe, and Shi Lei struggled to grow his mouth. He suddenly felt that he didn't need it at all. Because he can't breathe any air.
Death, yes, it was his only way out. He had no choice but this path.
Since there is no other choice, you have to face it calmly.
Shi Lei closed his mouth tightly. He suddenly felt happy because he felt that he was noble.
He smiled knowingly. Fu opened his mouth again, stuck out his tongue and licked the snow. A hint of coolness passed through the tip of the tongue through the throat and into the heart. Cold, cold, freezing, he felt his body stiffen.
Shi Lei used his last strength to clench his fist.
After that, his heart was bitter, and the world was completely still.
It's like another world, very strange, because it's still dark.
A room filled the room with the smell of pine oil. The walls covered in smoke were made of thick pine trees piled on top of each other. The stools are of pine, the chairs are of pine, even the bed is of pine.
In front of the bed, a rope twisted from rattan hangs in mid-air, and four long wires are tied to the ends of the rope. Under the wire is an iron bowl. There was half a bowl of oil in it, and a piece of asbestos poked out of the oil, and there was a big flame against it.
The flames crackled and jumped, emitting a scent of pine oil.
An old man stood in front of the bed, and a young man lay on the bed.
The young man finally opened his eyes. Lao Ru nodded, and hurriedly turned around and retreated a few steps to the far away fire.
The young man pressed his elbows against the bed, struggling to prop himself up. He looked inexplicably at the old man by the fire, and inexplicably at his own hands. He raised a hand and touched his face, twisted it again, and slapped himself again.
The old man turned his back to him and said, "You're not dead, you're still alive." ”
The young man was shocked: "I, Shi Lei, am still alive?"
"Where am I now?" Shi Lei then asked.
"Haven't you been looking for me?" said the old man calmly.
This sentence almost made Shi Lei faint, and a stream of thick blood rushed to his nose and eyes. Shi Lei almost cried.
"Am I in the yang or the underworld?" Shi Lei really cried.
"The force of this avalanche is huge, I haven't seen it in hundreds of years. The man turned his back to him. The firelight darkened the silhouette of his body.
"Who are you? You, you are, are you Lee Eun?"
The man nodded silently.
Shi Lei's eyes darkened, and his whole body fell off the bed and slammed heavily on the ground.
When Shi Lei woke up again, Li En was smoking a dry cigarette next to him.
Shi Lei sat up, looked at him, and spread his hands again, looking at his hands covered with blood and dirt. What Shi Lei thought, he choked back when he said it.
What's more, he, Li En doesn't understand. He knows everything, otherwise why would he know when he is buried under a snowdrift?
Also, does he know where I'm buried? Can he know what I'm doing at what moment, where, and everywhere? I'm being monitored by him all the time? Shi Lei shuddered.
But he immediately dodged the question.
What did I come to Ibarayama for, just to find him, to find a spell to unlock the curse? Now that I have found it, what should I do, I should know best in my heart.
Shi Lei was about to speak. But he saw Li En get up and turn to the fire.
Shi Lei stood up with his aching body and walked towards the fire.
As soon as Shi Lei walked to the fire, Li En got up again and lay down on the rocking chair next to the door of the house.
Shi Lei began to understand that he was very strange, indeed very strange, as recorded in the book of grandfather and old grandfather. Shi Lei wanted something, but he stopped. In the past, he always wanted to find Li En as soon as possible, eagerly asked the answer to the riddle, and eagerly solved the curse. But now, he had no interest. Is Li En right in front of him, asking questions in the morning and asking questions in the evening, he feels down-to-earth? Or does the thing that he has been worried about for a long time suddenly become a reality, he can't bear it in his heart, he can't breathe, and God has recovered? In short, Shi Lei doesn't want to say anything at the moment.
He sighed, and suddenly felt a severe tightness in his chest, and the wounds all over his body ached violently.
