Luo Yin looked at the majestic snow-capped mountains in front of him, and sadly found that he seemed to be on the wrong path.

According to the information heard in the town, there is a passage in the Hengduan Mountains that is frequented by travelers and herb pickers. But along the way, because of the heavy snow, I couldn't find the legendary passage at all, and I could only determine where the east was according to the direction of the morning sunrise.

Now this towering snow-capped mountain happens to be in the way of the east, and I have to take the risk of climbing.

He had been climbing for hours now, and it would be a waste of time to retreat and find the passage again, so he had to continue to climb up, hoping to climb over the dreaded ice giant sooner.

The cold wind was blowing, the snowflakes on the ground were scattered in the sky, and the extreme cold on the snowy mountain tested Luo Yin's body and mind. This snow-capped mountain is far higher than other peaks, so the environment on the mountain is getting worse and worse, even if you are wearing a thick leather coat, your face is blue from the cold, and your hands and feet are cold.

Gradually, the steep mountain wall suddenly became gentle, and a pine forest appeared in front of Luo Yin's eyes.

Seeing that there was such a large forest on this halfway up the mountain, Luo Yin was overjoyed. If there is a forest, you can pick dead branches and dry leaves to make a fire, which is really a relief for Luo Yin, who is now half frozen to death.

He hurried to the forest, walked step by step in the forest, collected the dead branches and fallen leaves he saw along the way, and spent half an hour to find a big hug of wood.

With this pile of firewood in hand, he began to look for a suitable place to spend the night.

It's already afternoon, and it's dark very early in winter, so I must find a place to shelter from the wind and rain as soon as possible, otherwise I will freeze to death on the halfway side of this snowy mountain after dark.

As he walked, the pine forest in front of him had come to an end, and a towering cliff appeared in front of him.

After walking around the mountain wall, I found a small recess that could accommodate two or three people, and a boulder on top of it sheltered from the wind and snow.

"It's a great place to set up camp, and we'll spend the night here. He said to himself happily. It was a surprise to be able to find such a hole under a boulder, and it could block a lot of wind and snow.

He threw the firewood in his hand, and put down his bag and the basket of books on his back. Pulling out the short knife from the book basket, he walked out. When he was just collecting firewood in the forest, he actually saw a few snow-white rabbits foraging in the forest, and this kind of mountain delicacy naturally made Luo Yin, who had only eaten dry food for many days, salivate.

He searched in the forest for a while, and found a line of snow rabbit footprints on the ground, followed the footprints all the way, and finally found the rabbit again. He saw that under the pine tree not far away, there was an equally snow-white rabbit hidden in the snow-covered ground, and if it weren't for his sharp eyes, he wouldn't have found it at all.

He approached slowly, step by step, for fear that the timid rabbit would find out. When he walked only seven or eight steps away from the rabbit, Luo Yin stopped, and if he went any further, he would most likely surprise his prey.

He lifted the knife in his hand, aimed it at the rabbit not far away, and threw the knife in his hand towards the rabbit. Only a pop was heard, and the short knife was stuck in the snow, less than a foot away from the rabbit.

The rabbit, which was concentrating on foraging, was startled, and with a kick of its legs, it jumped several feet away, and disappeared into the snow in a short time.

"Hey, I still can't get home in kung fu, it seems that I still have to practice more in the future. Luo Yin slapped his forehead and said with annoyance.

Walk over to where the rabbit is staying and pull out a short knife from the ground that is deep in the snow. He looked elsewhere and began to look for the snow rabbit again.

There is no need to worry about the common things that fail, just keep looking.

After more than an hour like this, the sky had begun to get a little dark, Luo Yin held a short knife in his left hand, a rabbit in his right hand, and walked towards the mountain wall with a small song in his mouth. It took him more than an hour to find the traces of four or five more snow rabbits, but he was unable to throw short knives at home, and it was not until the fifth time that he hit an unlucky rabbit.

Back under the mountain wall, Luo Yin took out the flint, used some dried pine leaves collected in the forest as ignitions, and finally lit a bonfire after wasting the boss's effort. The raging flames dispelled the cold in the snowy mountains, and also dispersed the cold on Luo Yin's body. He took a deep breath and enjoyed the rare warmth.

I came to the snow next to me and cleaned up the rabbits that came in. Then he took out the small pot from the back basket, took a pot of snow, put a few branches on the flame, blinked and said, "A pot of rabbit meat in clear soup today will definitely be delicious." ”

The snow in the small pot quickly melted into a pot of water, and when the water boiled, he put the prepared rabbit meat in it and added some spices. Then he was roasting the fire next to him while waiting for the rabbit meat to be cooked.

It was already completely dark, and Luo Yin looked at the rabbit meat tumbling in the pot, but he was a little dumbfounded. It's been boiling for half an hour, but the rabbit meat in the pot is still half-cooked and red.

He looked at the old man in a daze for a long time, suddenly patted his head, and said in annoyance: "You pig brain, the altitude on this snowy mountain is so high, the air pressure is definitely not enough, the boiling point of the water is not enough, and it is naturally not cooked." I knew it and ate it baked, so how can I eat it like this. Fortunately, only half of it was cooked, otherwise it would have been a big waste. ”

Looking at the only half-cooked rabbit meat in the pot, Luo Yin couldn't help the hunger in his stomach and scooped up a piece to taste. This taste, the expression is a little strange.

"This half-baked rabbit meat doesn't taste so bad, but it also has a different flavor. No matter what, if you don't eat it, you will waste this rabbit that you have finally called, and you should eat a five-ripe steak. ”

Next, regardless of whether it is hot or not, this small pot of rabbit meat will be solved by dividing it by two, and I will drink half a pot of rabbit soup to warm up my body.

After eating and drinking, leaning against the mountain wall and baking the fire, watching the snowflakes floating outside the cave at some point, and listening to the cold wind howling outside.

The cold wind blew in from the mountain wall from time to time, mixed with the slightest snowflakes falling on Luo Yin's face. The bonfire in front of the wind swayed one after another, making the light in the small hollow bright and dark.

The cold wind blew on his face, and there was a biting chill, so he got up and took out a few spare clothes, built a simple floor and spread them around the fire, and took another piece of clothing to cover his body as a quilt.

Although the fire next to him brought warmth, the cold wind still made him huddle tightly by the fire.

I don't know when, Luo Yin vaguely dreamed that he seemed to be soaked in cold ice water, and the biting cold made him shiver uncontrollably.

Finally, a biting cold wind woke him from his sleep, and looking at the bonfire in front of him, which had burned only some dark red charcoal, he got up and added some firewood to the charcoal fire, and watched the flame gradually burn.

It's just that the raging flames didn't seem to dispel the cold around him, and he only felt that it was getting colder and colder. In desperation, he could only take two steps forward, closer to the fire, and at the same time tightly clutched his clothes.

Cold, cold, extreme cold!

The flames in front of him seemed to be frozen, and they didn't bring him the slightest warmth. He felt like he was freezing, and his hands and feet were starting to become disobedient.

He wondered in his heart, this situation seemed to be abnormal, he was by the fire, why could he still be cold like this, why the raging flame could not bring him any warmth.

He struggled to turn his stiff neck, looking around in the hollow by the light of the fire. He wondered what had happened and why this strange situation had happened.

His eyes saw the place directly ahead, where the flames barely shone through, his face suddenly turned pale, a deep chill welled up from his vertebrae, and his face showed a look of extreme surprise and fear.

He looked at a figure, and at the end of the fire, he seemed to see a black figure like a man.

The dark shadow could not see the specific details, only the outline of a human form, but it had a pair of shining eyes, like bright stars in the sky in this dark night.

And these starry eyes are now staring at themselves.

Luo Yin shuddered, reluctantly opened his mouth, and asked in a trembling voice that seemed not to be his own, "Who is it?

I am now on top of a towering snow-capped mountain in the Hengduan Mountains, here, at this time, how could there be anyone else here besides myself.

Is it a human, a ghost, or a youkai?

The strange cold, coupled with the sudden appearance of strange figures, I'm afraid it won't be a good thing!

The figure, hearing Luo Yin's inquiry, did not answer his words, but suddenly disappeared into the night, just like when he came, silently......

The figure disappeared, and Luo Yin suddenly felt that the strange cold on his body also disappeared, and the fire swaying in front of him transmitted warmth to Luo Yin again.

Luo Yin felt this strange and inexplicable situation, and felt a burst of fear in his heart, knowing that he was afraid that he had encountered a ghost.

Such a cold that suddenly appears and disappears suddenly, and this silent figure, is not something that people can do at all. He reached out and wanted to pull out a burning dead wood so he could go out and see what it was.

But the hand was just halfway out and stopped, if there was really some kind of ghost outside, although I don't know why I didn't come in directly, but now I went out by myself, isn't it like a sheep into the mouth of a tiger? Although staying in this cave can't resist the attack of the ghost at all, the burning flame can finally give me some psychological comfort and courage.

He was now sleepy, holding his short knife tightly in his hand from his back basket, his eyes fixed on the movement outside. If there are really any demons and monsters coming, I have to fight if I can't say it, and I will never be the kind of lamb to the slaughter.

Luo Yin prayed to all the gods he could think of in his heart, praying that the black shadow would not appear again, so that he could survive until tomorrow, as long as it was dawn the next day, he would be able to leave this strange place quickly.

Time passed little by little, and the night seemed as long as a lifetime. He waited for the dawn in the long night, waiting for the light of the next day, if he could see the sun tomorrow......
