I carefully circumvented Zhang Ling and the feet of Big Eyes to judge the size and shape of the thing. I hope, hope is what we dream of right now.
My feet were numb from the cold, and I carefully raised the tops of my feet, hoping to pour the thing out. Big Eye and Zhang Ling clearly felt my movements, and asked, "What are you doing? Huh...huh..."
I said: "The bag, there is something in the bag... Let's raise the leg together and pour it out..."
"Ahem, it fell on me!" Zhang Ling said.
"Where?" I fumbled.
"Don't... Don't touch me, cough... I'll give it to you!"
"Is that it?" Zhang Ling quickly picked it up.
"Well, it's it!"
I finally found the cuffs, holding the small square in my hand and sticking out of the clothes, with a "click", a bean-sized flame rose, and the small gap suddenly became bright.
Big Eye and Zhang Ling both raised their heads, looking at the little lighter as if they were looking at a holy thing!
Although there is no grass and nothing to burn here, the lighter itself is the source of fire. Now even a little light can make us feel warm.
Bringing the flame to the cheeks of the three people, the long-lost warmth made the three people relive the feeling of happiness again, and they really wanted to cry.
I adjusted the flame appropriately so that it could burn for a longer period of time, and asked: "Is it warm?"
"Ok!"
"Ok!"
"Cough cough cough..." Dayan and Zhang Ling nodded vigorously with the sound of coughing.
Next, we guarded the big light with the lighter's repeated "clicks", suffering and happy.
Gradually I realized that even a piece of thallium iron would be cracked by freezing in the ice and snow all night. We can't continue to wait for death here. At this time, Jia Sidao doesn't know whether he is dead or alive. Even if he is still alive, it is impossible to find us in a small cave in the boundless snow peak.
At this moment, we are isolated and helpless. Rather than hopelessly fend for themselves, we might as well go out, even if there is only one ten thousandth hope, even if we die outside, we cannot be trapped here.
"Zhang Ling, big eyes, we must save ourselves and take some actions."
At this time, the big eyes no longer tremble, but the whole person is frozen. He said tremblingly: "Why,
How... Help yourself? "
"We must go out, even if we die outside, we can't die here. Can you still move?"
Big eyes moved mechanically, and said strenuously: "Yes, you can..."
"Zhang Ling, how about you?"
Zhang Ling hugged me tightly, and then said: "I see, it's better for you to go. I can't go like this. Even if I go out, it will drag you down."
"No." I said decisively, "We are here together. Even if we die, we must die together. No one can fall."
Big eyes nodded and said: "Yes, death will also... die together."
I looked around this small and cramped space, bending down to pick up the ice axe from the ground, supporting my body and standing up, pushing Zhang Ling out of my arms, and then picked up the rope again.
Lifting the ice axe and banging it heavily on the ice wall, I will smash a rivet on the ice wall and then pull it out with a rope.
boom!
Going down with a pickaxe, icy debris is splashing!
boom! boom! boom…
I don't know how many knocks, I suddenly moved in my heart, stopped, and asked, "Have you heard?"
Both Zhang Ling and Dayan looked at me with questioning eyes, as if they didn't know what I was referring to.
I smashed my head again!
boom!
I asked, "Listen, is this voice a bit hollow?" As I spoke, I turned my head a few times, and the hollow "bang-bang" sound sounded again.
I said, "It seems to be empty behind the ice wall!"
Big Eye and Zhang Ling shook their heads at the same time, indicating that they didn't hear it.
Is it because I want to leave here so much that there is an auditory hallucination? Or did Big Eye and Zhang Ling have lost their ability to distinguish because of the cold
I did not give up, but exhausted all my strength to continue beating and chiseling on the ice wall.
Suddenly, after a bang, the tip of the ice axe was all submerged in the ice wall. After the ice axe was pulled out, a black hole appeared in the ice wall.
I was pleasantly surprised: "Look! Have you seen it! It's really empty!"
The big eyes crawled over, and they put their eyes on the small holes to look at. After a while, he said excitedly: "Really! Really! Really! Quick, quick, quick open!"
In an instant, my whole body was full of power, as if behind the ice wall, it was the gate to eternal life, just waiting for me to open it.
I pick up the ice axe and fight
I cut the ice wall with my fate, and the hole in the ice wall became bigger and bigger. I didn't stop until I dug out a hole as big as the basin mouth.
I stretched my head in with excitement and used a searchlight to illuminate it. It turned out that it was a hole that stood upright like a well. It didn’t see the sky from above, and it didn’t see the bottom from below, and there was no wind in it. Maybe it was because there was no wind. I felt The temperature inside is higher than outside.
This is really an inexhaustible road, and there will be another village in the dark!
"What's inside?" Big Eye asked.
"It's like a bottomless well. But the temperature inside seems to be higher than the outside." I retracted my head and said.
Big eyes immediately put his head in, feeling the temperature inside.
Zhang Ling said without hesitation: "Go down and take a look."
Big eyes retracted his head and said excitedly: "It's really warmer inside than outside! Let's go down, we all go down!"
I looked at each other with Big Eye and Zhang Ling, and then nodded at the same time. There was a bad wind outside the cave, and hundreds of kilograms of stones could be blown in the air. I would freeze to death if I stayed in the cave, so I might as well go into the deep well. Look, even the well leading to the gate of hell is better than freezing to death here!
Everyone reached a consensus. We put two ropes of more than 100 meters in length, and then we got into the well without leaving anyone outside. We used one for the big eye, and one for Zhang Ling and I.
Using the "U"-shaped lock on the rope, we slowly descended. When we reached the "well", we discovered that the wall of this "well" was not flat, but bumpy, and the inside was not circular. There is a mixture of rock and ice on the wall, and it is not clear whether there is more ice or more rocks.
The three of us who were about to be frozen to death were all alive at this time, and we reached the end of the rope before long.
Under our feet is the dangling darkness, well searchlighted, and I don’t know how deep there is to get to the bottom.
Big eyes asked: "What should I do now?"
I was disappointed and said: "Two ways, either climb back into the ice cave, or just hang in the air here."
Big eyes desperately said: "I don't have the strength to climb back, and I was frozen to death when I climbed back, so let's hang it here."
Zhang Ling moved in my arms and said firmly: "There is a third way."
Big Eye and I asked at the same time: "Which three?"
