We didn't make any special preparations. I just bought some bread and ham sausage in that small supermarket, and a few bottles of high-quality self-brewed liquor. In the end, I borrowed a few pairs of long fur boots from a fellow villager. I reckon it won't go too far, otherwise we will rush in so unprepared, as if we are going to die.
I was a little surprised after departure, I was neither excited nor nervous. Instead, it was surprisingly calm. Peaceful like coming home.
Master Zhu and the three of them were also the same, but their faces were full of joy. I don't know why.
After leaving the village and walking into the forest, there were no obstacles along the way. The snow is indeed getting deeper and deeper, but the road we walked is the only way for many villagers to enter the mountain, and the snow has already been solidified. Looking at the snow scene along the way, covered in silver, I still feel quite fresh. From time to time, I could really see a few wild animals. From a distance, I could only hear the sound, and I couldn't tell whether it was a deer or something else. I have been on the road all morning, and this amount of exercise is not enough to test me. I walk very easily, always following behind Bai Kai's buttocks.
After a short break at noon, Wan Jinrong turned from the middle of the road into the nearby woods in a daze. That's when it started to get tough. Every step of the snow almost lost the knees, and the difficulty of moving forward can be imagined. It didn't take long for the snow to soak into the boots. I only felt my feet getting colder and colder, and finally I gradually lost consciousness.
In the middle of the afternoon, the sun gradually darkened. The temperature is also lower. I have been hoping that there will be no wind, but the more I think about it, the more I think about it. Soon the strong wind carried the snow on the branches, and it hurt my cheeks.
In order to save energy, few people in the team spoke. Now everyone gritted their teeth even more. All around can only hear the buzzing of the wind.
When it was getting dark, Wan Jinrong stopped. I thought we had arrived at first. When I looked up, I saw that there were still endless tree trunks and snow in front of me.
Before I could ask why, Wan Jinrong turned around and looked behind me. Following Bai Kai, he did the same thing.
I was very puzzled, so I turned around to have a look. Master Zhu behind me seemed to be confused about the situation, and was staring at him with his glasses.
They stared at each other for two seconds before they realized that the kid in the team was gone!
Originally, we still took good care of him and never made him carry anything. Two, put him at the back of the line. When the person in front walked over, the snow had already been trampled down, so he could walk with less effort.
It's just that I don't know when this kid has fallen behind. The sound of the wind was already loud, coupled with the creaking sound of stepping on the snow, it was easy for people to ignore other sounds around them.
I looked from afar, but there was no sign of the child.
Bai Kai asked, what should I do? Will you go back and look for it
Wan Jinrong frowned and made a gesture to move on. He took the lead and continued to move forward.
A group of people immediately followed in unison.
I felt a little uncomfortable. Although I am not related to that child, I don't like him. But such a young life was easily abandoned in the deep mountains and old forests. I really can't accept it.
What made me feel even more chilling was that Master Zhu and the glasses who came with the child didn't show anything. It seemed that the child had nothing to do with them at all.
Xiao Que, forget about it. It is said that this trip may kill people. These are all fixed numbers. Bai Kai patted me on the shoulder and said, "You have seen it along the way, there is no danger." Can't kill people.
I hesitated for a while, and finally chose to follow the team. He lit a cigarette and tried his best not to think about it.
After walking for another hour, Wan Jinrong stopped again. I instinctively turned around to look, for fear that there would be another person missing this time.
Just listen to Bai Kai say in front, damn it, there really is a mansion in this place!
I took a look and found that right in front of us, there was a building standing dimly. From a distance, I can’t see the specific outline, but I just feel that this building must not be too small.
I kind of couldn't believe my eyes. Some things even if you believe it exists, you can really see it with your own eyes. The impact was still different. To build a house in this kind of place, both the difficulty of construction and the technical requirements are too high. What is even more incredible is, who would choose to live in such a place
Wan Jinrong obviously quickened his pace. His physical strength is much better than mine. It was a bit difficult for me to follow behind. Fortunately, Bai Kai would help me from time to time. In this way, a group of people finally got closer and closer to the house.
Every few steps forward, the house becomes clearer. I didn't dare to blink my eyes until I saw the whole picture of the house. For a moment I even forgot to breathe.
This is a building that can't be seen at all, and it's hard to describe. The most notable feature is that this house is square. Of course, this kind of square is different from the buildings we usually see. If I have to describe it, I'm afraid I can only express that this thing is like a cube of reinforced concrete.
There were no windows or doors on the house, which made me suspect for a while that it was a bunker left over from the war. It was only later that I reflected that what we saw might be the back of the house.
The color of the exterior wall is also very special, it is a very light purple. It feels like the purple potion that I used to use when I was a child has been diluted.
None of the few people posted immediately, and I don't know if others were as shocked as I was. Anyway, neither of us spoke.
In the end, Wan Jinrong walked over first, and Bai Kai followed up and asked, haven't you been to this house before? What are you cautious about
Wan Jinrong looked back at Bai Kai's eyes and said: I have been here before, but the house has not been closed before.
It was so obvious what he meant, that I was taken aback. Is this house just recently built? And just in the few days we've been here? I looked around and saw that Wan Jinrong was right to be cautious. Perhaps on the way we came, the house was still under construction. If so, there must be others hidden in these four weeks.
Bai Kaidao, what the hell? This place is so difficult to walk, where did the bricks come from? Even if he is exhausted, he can't finish moving
Bai Kai surpassed Wan Jinrong, and gently touched the outer wall of the house.
I rely on! icy! Bai Kai was surprised.
I couldn't help but say, isn't the mother talking nonsense? Let alone the walls in this place, do you touch your dick to see if it's cold
Bai Kaidao, then come here! let me touch you! Damn this house is made of ice!
I suddenly realized that there is no water source nearby. If there is, although it is a bit more difficult, it is more realistic than using bricks and mortar. I saw no danger, so I just walked over. Sure enough, the whole house is basically an ice sculpture building, and the colors seen before are mixed in the ice. It is not painted on the exterior wall.
Now that I was this close, I looked left and right. This wall is very long, and the house is much larger than I imagined.
Bai Kai didn't wait for Wan Jinrong's instruction, walked along the wall, turned the corner and disappeared.
I chased after him one step at a time, and saw that Bai Kai was scraping the ice on the wall vigorously with a knife.
With this kind of temperature, this kind of climate, one can imagine how hard the ice is. Bai Kai wished he could breastfeed so hard that he only withheld a few ice shards.
Bai Kai took the tip of the knife to his mouth and tasted it, then suddenly said, Xiao Que, come and taste it.
I also took a piece with my tongue and put it in my mouth. At first, I only felt ice teeth, wishing to spit it out immediately. After a while, the ice gradually melted, and some familiar tastes began to be felt in the mouth. I didn't think about it for a while, and I didn't realize it until I reacted. I wondered, how the fuck does this ice taste like the ashes I ate!
Bai Kai nodded, do you like it? It seems that Wan Jinrong called you here because of this!
I asked, could it be that the ashes were also mixed in the ice? Otherwise, where did the colors come from
Bai Kai pointed behind me with his chin, you have to ask him directly!
When I turned around, I saw Wan Jinrong standing not far away. With a very strange posture. One hand gently stroked the outer wall of the house, as if stroking a small animal or a work of art.
This ice is frozen with water from the Yin River. Wan Jinrong said suddenly.
