The demon wolf is gone, and Old Ghost Wu is howling, but our situation has not changed at all. The wolves still refuse to retreat, and we are still at the bottom of this cold pit.
However, Wu Laogui's words finally caught our attention. We followed the direction it pointed and went to a place covered with snow. We didn't see anything special at all, so we just took a look, and our doubtful eyes returned. Everyone looked at Old Ghost Wu.
Old Ghost Wu was so anxious that he jumped up and down. When he was so excited, he even ran over and stood on the head of a wolf cub for a while before he said: "There is really a problem."
We have become accustomed to the way it convulses when something happens, so we just wait.
And Old Ghost Wu also jumped down from the wolf cub's head, floated to the place he pointed at just now, pointed carefully at a black gap in the middle of the snow flow and said: "The problem is right here!"
Where? Thanks to the moonlight, I couldn't see the problem. After all, the snow fell like this and intersected with the frozen soil. There were so many gaps that I couldn't see anything special.
But Mr. Wu was too lazy to explain, and magically floated in. This float seemed to be completely integrated into the snow, which made Mr. Zhang's face twitch. This scene was too 'supernatural'!
I frowned, feeling that something was fishy. The spirit body seemed not to be restricted by matter. However, if there was a piece of frozen soil behind the snow flow, Old Ghost Wu would not drift in for no reason unless he wanted to practice the art of drilling into the ground.
So, I immediately took out the flashlight, walked over, and looked at the gap carefully with the light of the flashlight. At this time, I saw the trick. Just when I was about to speak, Mr. Wu happened to come out again, suddenly. Looking at Old Ghost Wu's old bluish-white face, it actually startled me.
"You come out without making a squeaking sound?" I couldn't help but curse.
"Zhizhizhi, do you want to greet you like this? No, aren't you asking me to imitate a mouse?" Old Ghost Wu said plausibly.
I was so angry that my temples were beating wildly again, and I was too lazy to pay attention to Old Ghost Wu. I turned around and said, "Brother Chengxin, Lao Zhang, bring the snow shovel here. There is really a situation here. Come quickly!"
As soon as I shouted, Brother Chengxin and Lao Zhang immediately obeyed. They quickly came over with snow shovels, threw the flashlight aside, and started digging with me without asking why.
The wolves were still guarding the top of the snow nest. They didn't bother to care about the big noise we made. They didn't seem to come down. They didn't hear the sound of the demon wolf. I guess the uncle had already left.
Time passed by, and I, Lao Zhang, and Brother Chengxin were all sweating out in the icy and snowy old forest. Ruxue wanted to come to help, but the three gentlemen asked her to go back and sit down at the same time. This kind of It's not easy for a woman to do things, and she can't afford to embarrass that person.
As for Wu Laogui, he didn't have that idea. He seemed to have found a new way to play, which was to play on the heads of wolf cubs. After standing on this one, he would stand on that one, and after standing on that one, he would stand on this one. From time to time, he would even make a grin. 'Intimidating' movements, or punching the wolf cub a few times, are all useless. The wolf cub with some sense will feel that his head is a little cold at most, so he just shakes his head.
But just like that, that old ghost Wu actually had a lot of fun.
With a "crash", when Old Ghost Wu was playing on the head of the wolf cub who didn't know which number he was standing on, we finally dug out the snow flow. The last support no longer existed. The truth hidden behind the snow flow Finally came out, and it turned out that there was a dark cave entrance here.
Lao Zhang threw down the snow shovel, took out his dry tobacco stick next to him, and started smoking while breathing heavily, while Brother Chengxin directly grabbed a handful of snow, He stuffed it into his mouth and gave it to those who were thirsty.
As for me, there was no movement at all. I just lay down in the snow in a big shape, then lit a cigarette, and Ruxue also quietly waited for us to rest.
Seeing this situation, Old Ghost Wu suddenly floated down from the head of a wolf cub and shouted: "Where's Gaha? They dug it out, why don't you go in and have a look? Come in, come in?"
No one paid attention to Wu Laogui, but it was Lao Zhang who spoke: "The wolf's temperament is the most cruel and vicious, which can make these desperate wolf cubs taboo in such a place, and they don't know what horrors there are. Secondly, As I said before, I'm not too familiar with this area, but it's not like I've never been here before. Besides, I still have a map in my hand. It's something that has been recorded for generations, so there's little chance of making mistakes. The appearance of this snow nest is really weird. However, I don’t think these wolf cubs will retreat for a while. It doesn’t take long. If we stay around for a few days, we won’t have anyone to make a fire, so we will freeze to death here. How about sending a signal for help? I No objection, you decide, I will follow."
After saying that, Lao Zhang fell silent and just continued to smoke his dry cigarette.
Brother Chengxin ate a lot of snow and spoke: "There is nothing weird in this cave. I don't believe it. Sending a signal means that this operation should not continue. According to what Lao Wu said, there is only so much time. , how many years will it take to wait, there are still people rushing on the other side. Chengyi, you decide? If the wolf cub doesn't come down, this poison can't be administered!"
Yes, what kind of wind can blow the poisonous powder to a height of more than 10 meters? Unless we want to poison ourselves!
Ruxue didn't speak, just looked at me quietly. I understood that she was just following my footsteps and letting me decide whatever I wanted.
After smoking to the end of the cigarette, I finally spoke and said: "If we can avoid going into that hole, let's not go in. Let's wait for a while. Wait until daybreak. If the wolf cub still doesn't retreat, let's talk about it."
What I said was the final decision, and everyone tacitly agreed not to express any further opinions. Even Old Ghost Wu, who was as nervous as chopsticks, felt the taste and stopped talking.
Winter nights without fire were so difficult, so we simply set up a tent in the snow nest, put on all the clothes we could carry in our luggage, and huddled in the tent to keep ourselves warm. a little.
The night was so long. Ruxue leaned against me and waited quietly with me. Maybe it was the little "lingering" today that kept her and I from sleep. In this night, our eyes were wide open. .
As for Brother Chengxin and Lao Zhang, they leaned against the tent and snored slightly. Old Ghost Wu had already got into the soul-nurturing jar. The spirit body also needs to 'sleep', or that should be the word, after all, the spirit body needs to 'sleep'. Qi Shen'er needs to 'sleep' in order to be fully nourished. It is a mistake to think that the spirit body never rests.
If that's the case, don't people who are possessed by ghosts have to make trouble 24 hours a day
Everyone was asleep, and Ruxue and I were left listening to each other's quiet breathing. The atmosphere became a little ambiguous. I couldn't help but whispered in Ruxue's ear: "You said that to me today." , what does it mean?”
Ruxue held her chin, looking at the dark night through the small window of the tent, as if she didn't want to answer, which made me feel a little embarrassed. What did I ask
But after a while, Ruxue whispered in my ear: "What it meant before, it means now. Since you can ignore life and death, it doesn't mean anything for me to say that to you. At that time, I just If you want to express your feelings, don’t try to guess what a woman is thinking, because you can’t guess it either.”
"Ah?" This answer made me confused. I couldn't help but let out a sigh, and then said stupidly: "You just said it wasn't there, so... where should I go?"
I accidentally exposed what I was thinking. As soon as I said it, I regretted it. Damn it, I have such a gentlemanly image!
"Where? What where? Why don't I know what you are talking about?" Ruxue looked at me and suddenly blinked at me in an unusual way, looking very naughty.
I was anxious and wanted to say something, but Ruxue suddenly leaned her head on my shoulder and said, "Chen Chengyi, silly boy, I'm sleepy and I'm going to sleep."
My irritable mood just now suddenly felt warm and peaceful. I gently held Ruxue's hand and said, "Go to sleep."
Outside, the night was deep, and the green color also meant that the wolves had not retreated, but what did it matter? At this moment, the happiness surrounded by wolves will be a memory I will never have forever. I will face tomorrow with a smile on my face with such happiness.
