The heavy snow is rolling down, the snowflakes droplets, and the tide of anger is as shocking.
Under such circumstances, we had no hope of escape, but the direction of Xueliu was perpendicular to our escape route, which gave Liu Xiaowei and I the possibility of escape.
But despite this, we had just escaped from the depression when a snow wave came and submerged me and Liu Xiaowei.
I held Liu Xiaowei's hand tightly, only to feel that after the earth shook for a while, the avalanche was as sudden as it happened, and it passed suddenly.
I secretly called a fluke in my heart that the scale of this avalanche does not seem to be too large.
The white snow is puffy and porous and contains a lot of oxygen. I first took out a snow hole to make sure that I would not die from suffocation for a while. When I looked up, I saw a faint light on the top of my head. It's not deep."
Liu Xiaowei stretched out his hands and was about to climb up the snow, but Bai Xue was soft and unable to climb up.
I said, "This won't work. Buried in the snow is like being stuck in a swamp. The more you rush up and push, the more you sink."
Liu Xiaowei panted, "What do you say?"
I stretched out my hands and said: "Use a swimming posture, go up diagonally." As I said with my legs, I crawled out, and Liu Xiaowei followed my posture as well.
After crawling like this for a while, and rising diagonally, the light above his head became brighter, and Liu Xiaowei suddenly asked, "Oh, what about lightning?"
I said: "Lightning is fast, it mostly escaped an avalanche."
Liu Xiaowei let out a sigh of relief: "Just escape the lightning. Amitabha, God bless you."
At this moment, there was a rustle of snow on the top of my head, and I was happy in my heart: "It's lightning!"
For a moment, lightning scooped away the snow, sticking out a warm tongue, and constantly adding to my face.
Suddenly there was a mixed feeling in my heart, and I secretly said: "Human nature really can't stand the test. In many cases, it's not as good as a dog."
After I climbed out, I pulled Liu Xiaowei out of the ice and snow. After the heavy snow filled the depression, a snow peak was raised. Although the avalanche was small, the snow peak was three or four stories high.
Liu Xiaowei sighed: "It's over, the deer and the food are buried, Xiaoqiang, what shall we eat in the future?" As he said, tears burst into his eyes, dripping drop by drop.
Into the snow, the snow melted, and slowly became ice with the snow water.
I took her hand, pointed to the two tents where we first lived in the middle of the snow field, and said, "There is still some frozen meat in it that has not been removed."
The two of them walked into the tent silently and sat on the food box. They were in a bad mood and half-paid. Liu Xiaowei said: "I didn't expect Brother Yan to be like this, alas, it hurts others and himself."
With mixed flavors in my heart, I slowly said, "In fact... Brother Yan is not bad, just a ghost... He watched An Jiaqi die in front of him, and his nerves may have been greatly stimulated."
Liu Xiaowei said: "The human heart is really unpredictable. I used to think that when a person becomes better and worse, he changes slowly. I didn't expect it to be completely different. In fact, it was just a blink of an eye."
I thought: "In just a few hours, Brother Yan is like a different person." I nodded.
Yan Rui's betrayal was a heavy blow to me and Liu Xiaowei. After the two said a few words, they were reluctant to continue.
Outside the tent, the northwest wind was blowing violently, causing the tarp to plop.
I spread out the leather clothes in the storage box on the ground, and ignited a few food boxes with the digging machine, and cuddled Liu Xiaowei and the dog together. At this moment, exhausted, he lay down and fell asleep dimly.
We slept until the next morning, and Liu Xiaowei and I were refreshed, and both felt radiant.
The two walked out of the tent, the sunlight was dazzling, and there was a vast expanse of white as far as they could see.
I said, "Now that Tang Faming is dead, let's go back to the barren valley to see if we can get out of the picture."
Liu Xiaowei nodded. She knew in her heart that there were not many frozen meats left in the tent. If she could not go out, the frozen meat could only last for about ten days at most.
I brought the gas stove and the gas tank over, boiled a pot of snow water in a marching pot, changed to another pot after clarification, and cooked a pot of beef.
Liu Xiaowei said: "Fortunately, you and... and Brother Yan didn't move all the meat, otherwise the two of us would add lightning, and now we can only drink northwest wind."
I said, "Isn't there an old saying that says that? Don't put all your eggs in one basket."
There is not much gas left in the gas tank, and the beef is only cooked until three or four mature, so I turn it off
Up fire.
Liu Xiaowei picked up a piece of beef and fed it to Lightning, then filled two bowls of beef and handed one to me.
To fill up their stomachs, the two of them passed through the slit, passed through the snow valley and then under the cliff.
I looked at the rope that was broken in midair before thinking about going. Yan Rui had already cut half of the rope in order to save me. Thinking of this, my heart can't help but feel sad.
The rope was broken, and Liu Xiaowei and I wanted to return to the barren valley. We couldn't.
Liu Xiaowei shook his head: "Oh, why did I forget that the rope has been broken and come here for nothing." His tone was very depressed.
The two looked at each other and returned.
I thought to myself that there were mountain peaks on both sides of the snow valley. Unable to worry, we can only starve to death after eating the frozen meat.
Liu Xiaowei comforted me and said, "In fact, even if I climb over the cliff, there is no way out over the barren valley."
In fact, Liu Xiaowei didn't tell me that I also understood that the last big avalanche blocked the way we came in. The snow covered the mountain with seven or eight stories high and several kilometers long, and there was no possibility of going out.
The two of them came over, but they hadn't been here for a long time, so they walked around and tried their luck.
I couldn't help thinking, "It's only the beginning of March at this time. When the snow melts in the summer, it will last three months. There is snow everywhere. Once the frozen meat is eaten, what can I eat to survive?"
An Jiaqi used to dig wild vegetables and catch small beasts, but she once told Liu Xiaowei that it was because of the geothermal ground in the depression where she lived.
Without geothermal heat, wild vegetables may not grow in other places, and it is precisely because of wild vegetables that animals will go to the depressions for food.
But now, the depression has also been filled by an avalanche.
The two returned to Camp No. 1 in a very heavy mood. Although we were all wearing leather clothes, leather pants and high-top leather boots, there was no fire in the tent.
I suddenly remembered something and said: "Let's go look for Camp 3 again."
Liu Xiaowei smiled lazily: "An Jiaqi is lying, there is no Camp 3 at all."
I pondered for a while, shook my head and said, "It's not like, the reason why she lied is that there is something in Camp 3, and she doesn't want us to find out."
