【Li Ruxing】【Li Ruyue】
These are Uncle Zaozi's children. Their names look like sisters, but they are actually a pair of siblings.
Huaiyu didn't know how they appeared here. This was far from a place the garrison had ever explored, and I'm afraid there was no way of knowing in the future.
But at this moment, she looked at the scattered skeletons collected from the moss field, piles of branches, and the ice and snow on the edges in front of her, and finally put them all into the bag, along with their bones that had long been unable to piece together their original appearance. Clothes and old identification.
She thought of the unkempt mother who was hanging on the iron window and staring out the window in despair, as well as Ketaro's pink flower ball from the Rose Corridor, and then fixed her gaze on the rose flower on Lin Xuefeng's chest.
It is silent and everything is inexplicable.
But who can be sure that all this is not God’s will?
She put her backpack away, then took out her eggshell knife and made a circle on the ice at Lin Xuefeng's feet - the blade was so sharp that it cut in easily.
Then she took out two thermal blankets, wrapped them tightly around the ice sculpture in front of her, and wrapped them in layers of vines with dense branches and leaves.
On the one hand, it ensures that his body is not damaged during the movement, and on the other hand, it also tries to ensure that only the ice cubes have the highest probability of not melting.
After everything was done, Huaiyu took out the scroll saw again, sat on the ground, pulled with both hands along the incision of the eggshell knife, and slowly cut open the ice layer connected to the ground, while being careful to prevent the sculpture from tipping over. ……
By the time everything was done, she had already drank another packet of nutrient solution.
Then Huaiyu looked at the still harsh blizzard ahead, and carefully fixed the heavy ice sculpture wrapped in layers on the ice, along with the backpack——
This time, she was really carrying a heavy load.
……
Huaiyu seemed to be back in Sanqingshan.
She wants to build a house, live, and collect food...
On Sanqing Mountain, she was panting while carrying more than a dozen kilograms of weight, but she still had to pull more than a hundred kilograms in order to survive.
The shoulders were worn out, the hands were torn, and the redness, swelling, and bruises reappeared every day and disappeared again after one night. There was burning pain in my lungs, and I wanted to give up halfway and walk away.
Really tired.
But at this moment, dragging an adult man covered in ice, and with the big ice underneath used as a skateboard, she couldn't hold on to her tears more than she thought.
As soon as he stepped out of the outer blizzard, Huaiyu lifted his legs forward while unable to hold back tears.
It's so hard... Why does she have to work so hard every time... She was so tired before, but she is still so tired after living her life again.
The forest is not even a smooth road, and there is another long gentle slope visible to the naked eye. The slope was not high, but going straight up was enough to double her strength.
Huaiyu sat down on the ground, stared at the big ice sculpture with only its face exposed, and cried out: "I'm so tired... my hands hurt so much, my shoulders hurt... my legs are so sore that I can't lift them up..."
< br>
When she is alone, she can hold these things in her stomach, or she can grit her teeth and persist immediately after venting them out. But once there are people around who can rely on, these emotions are like a silent tide, fading away and coming back again and again.
But, what if the person brought back is a living Lin Xuefeng?
Thinking of this, she didn't dare to delay any longer, so she wiped away her tears in embarrassment, tied up the rope again, pulled with her hands in an attempt to relieve the pain in her shoulders, and tried to move forward again.
This time, she didn't reach the first sunflower sign until dark.
There are now two sunflowers side by side. They emit a faint light in the gradually darkening night. They are not very dazzling, but like the shining moonlight, people can see it from a distance.
Huaiyu was finally able to let go of the rope with peace of mind, and then gave birth to the third sunflower again. But she had no intention of taking a rest - a full night's sleep was too long for Lin Xuefeng now, so she decided to put on a headlamp and hit the road again.
After all, when she was alone and close to the center, there would be no mutant creatures to attack.
So in the dark forest, within the small area illuminated by the headlights, there was the sound of the girl gasping with all her strength, the sobs of grievance due to too much hard work, and the "click" sound of ice cubes rubbing against the frozen soil. The voices mingled.
In the ice sculpture, Lin Xuefeng's quiet face showed no sadness or joy, and time was still frozen in the moment before he gave up his strength.
……
Zhou Qian only left the area covered by the big tree at noon the next day, and went on two climbing expeditions a day - as usual, he rested at night, so there would be no progress changes throughout the morning.
What he had to do was to climb up the sunflower before dark at noon and evening, and then guess Huaiyu's route based on the situation on the opposite side.
But now he stood carefully on the huge sunflower bed. As he looked, two of the three sunflowers that were originally eye-catching on the road sign had changed——
From two trees side by side yesterday, there are now three!
When Huaiyu spawned sunflowers last night, it was too late and he didn't see them.
But after just one night and one morning, there are already two trees?
This is really not the efficiency that she can carry the weight of an adult man - what has changed?
Or is it Xiaoyu... who is also on her way at night?
Zhou Qian couldn't help but become anxious.
Zhou Qian knew Huaiyu's physical strength.
Although people will show resilience and perseverance that ordinary people cannot show when they are in a hurry, it must be very painful and painful.
And Huaiyu...
If she hadn't been forced by life, she would have been exhausted even if she carried more than 10 or 20 kilograms of vegetables and walked 1,800 meters. Now if she and her people have to travel all night...
Zhou Qian stood on the tree, filled with guilt at this moment.
It was obvious that the two of them were in the wilderness together, but Xiaoyu was responsible for the hardest and most difficult tasks alone.
He returned to the car, then closed his eyes and rested, silently evaluating Huaiyu's progress in his mind. When the third sunflower appeared, and after another 1-4 hours, he would drive back to the crack in the ground where Huaiyu left. Wait quietly.
At this moment, Huaiyu used an eggshell knife to expand the entrance of the cave below, and then used the stability of the big tree on the side to lower the tightly wrapped Lin Xuefeng bit by bit.
Below is a cold, dark river that is silent and lightless.
When she went down, Lin Xuefeng was already wrapped in vines and slowly floating in front of her with the current.
Huaiyu took a deep breath, pulled him back now, carefully supported his quietly floating body, and stepped into the deep underground river again.
The huge buoyancy made it difficult for her body to maintain balance. The pain all over her body and the stinging pain from her wounds made her extremely awake.
At the same time, the heavy ice blocks kept the huge ice sculpture firmly protecting her from choking or falling.
Huaiyu's heart beats like a drum.
Because she knew that Zhou Qian... was just ahead. (End of chapter)
