Thousand Lantern Night

Poker-finger was walking in a hurry with me on his back. At this time, the snow had reached his waist, so it was completely unsuitable to drive in the snow. Even if Poker-finger was a god, he couldn't walk comfortably.I felt that he was clasping my arm back and trembling. If this continues, we will be trapped to death in this icy field when Poker Bottle is exhausted.

I was more anxious than the oil bottle in my heart, and I was extremely angry at myself for being such a good-for-nothing who was holding him back. I thought intermittently in my mind, if I could make a better future, even if it was a little better than now, maybe everything would go well. a little.Boyouping won't be dragged down by me all the time, making him a mess.

I thought with chest tightness, and clenched my fists with some annoyance, and soon found that my hands were warmer and my body was much more relaxed.My feet have been numb for a long time, and when they warm up now, they hurt very much. I asked Poker Bottle to put me down, and squeezed dozens of times with my teeth gritted.

"Brother, let's go." Once the strength in my body came alive, I immediately felt motivated.

Poker-finger was a little absent-minded, and nodded casually, while Shino looked around, as if he was looking for something.

"Bro--"

He put an index finger next to his mouth and gave me a "shush" to signal me to be quiet.I thought he was probably looking for the vague screaming just now, but when it quieted down, there was nothing.I even wondered if it was a hallucination for a while.

But the stuffy oil bottle looked a little abnormal.I almost never saw him so haunted.He walked quickly through the snow in the direction he was going straight. After walking for a few steps, he remembered to look back. Seeing that I had fallen for a while, he came back to pull me.

"Wu Xie, before you met me last time, did you encounter any difficulties alone?"

After the two of us walked for a while, Poker Ping suddenly asked me.

"Difficulties?" I thought about it, and there seemed to be quite a lot, including being kidnapped, coerced into stealing, being raped, being hacked on the street, being almost entangled to death by vines, his uncle's jealous Chinese cabbage, Lao Tzu Didn't have a good time? "What's wrong?"

Poker bottle grabbed my hand and shook it hard, shook his head, but didn't say anything.

"Zhang Qiling——" The voice suddenly sounded again, this time it didn't come from a certain direction, but like a scattered echo, intercepting from all directions in the snow field.The voice sounded like a sigh, or a wry smile.

"Zhang Qiling, play it for me again, the song about a young man courting his beloved girl on the ancient snow field, will you?"

"Zhang Qiling, if one day you come out of Changbai Mountain, you forget everything like before, forget about me."

"Brother, I'm so cold—if you're here, there must be a way—"

The voice was obviously very vague, but it seemed to be whispering right next to his ear.I suddenly didn't know why I was very sad, but I couldn't stop the waves of sadness and terror in my heart.I can't remember what happened in the past year at all, but I intuitively resist and dare not face it.

Poker-face was visibly anxious at this moment, and it was almost impossible for him to experience such emotions.But amidst the echoing sighs, Poker Ping became very anxious.

He strode forward through the snow with big strides, basically unable to care about me.But the direction of the sound was too chaotic, and the path broken by Poker Bottle on the snow was winding and winding, as if he didn't know which direction to go at all.Poker-Face reached out his hand and pulled out the flashlight, and a beam of bright lightning flashed wildly all over the place.

"Wu Xie! Wu Xie—" Poker Face hissed into the distance.

This scene terrified me.

It would be totally understandable if I were an outsider watching other people's stories play out in front of me.But the frightening thing is that I'm clearly here, but Poker-Face doesn't seem to see me at all, and the person he's looking for so hard happens to be myself in front of him.I don't know what's wrong, something feels weird and distorted in this environment that we know to be a hallucination.

I caught up a few steps and grabbed Poker Bottle: "Brother! Be sober! We are in the illusion mirror set up by others. What you hear and see should not be real!"

However, Poker Bottle looked much more normal than I imagined, and the expression on his face was much more serious.He suddenly grabbed me with his backhand, and said to me almost sternly: "No! What's wrong! Wu Xie, think about it, where did you go in the year before you met me? What happened to you? Think again!"

I looked at Poker Bottle in horror, my mind went blank, I didn't know what to say or what to do.Poker bottle got anxious and his eyes turned red. I even felt that he was going to go crazy soon and tear me apart with his bare hands.The strange appearance of Poker Bottle looked very scary, and I struggled to find my voice: "What, what's wrong?"

Poker-face looked at me with red eyes, and his tone was even trembling because he was trying his best to suppress it. "You are asking me for help! You asked me for help a year ago! Wu Xie! Think about what the situation is like! It may be the life gate of this mirror!"

When Pokerfing said this, I immediately reacted.If the door of life is to unravel the dilemma I encountered a year ago, then what the dilemma is becomes crucial.But I have no memory of that year at all, and the current situation is very urgent.

Poker bottle saw that I was stunned for a long time and couldn't remember, so he couldn't force it, so he could only continue to search for the source of the sound.I followed him wading through the snow, and for some reason, my feet seemed to have stepped on a sensitive place, and I slipped suddenly, and I fell sideways.When I went over, I found that there was a huge pit next to it. A thin layer of ice had formed on the surface, and it was covered by thick snow, forming an ice bridge.

I yelled and fell down the vertical pit wall, grasping in a panic with both hands but only caught handfuls of Canxue.Poker-Face quickly followed me and jumped down, grabbed my arm before I landed, pulled me up, and followed the two of them into a ball into the snow.

This scene repeats itself like old things.

Fortunately, the snow layer under the pothole this time was still new, soft and thick, which relieved a lot of momentum like a quilt.Apart from leaving two human-shaped holes in the snow, nothing was hurt.

There was originally a thick layer of snow on the surrounding pit walls, but there was a lot of movement underneath, and large pieces fell off, quickly exposing the rocky walls of the circular pit.

This is a huge sinkhole.

The so-called tiankeng is a natural well-shaped deep pit formed by the rock layer during the movement of the earth's crust. The biggest feature is the steep wall.

I puffed my forehead and exhaled, his uncle, Poker Ping and I are handsome, but we can't make human-shaped cured bacon, such a big urn is too much face!

It's all right now, I'm so worried.

Poker-Face just checked that I was fine, then walked to one side of the cave wall, looked up at the terrain, and wondered how to get up.He touched the rock wall with his hand, and suddenly said, "Wu Xie, there is geothermal heat here."

Usually the bottom of the tiankeng is connected to an underground river. Poker said that there is geothermal heat, so the underground should be hot spring water.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

We walked in the snow for most of the night without leaving the village. The situation was quite strange, and we might find another way out along the underground river.On the other hand, if the underground is a hot spring, it will just relieve the physical condition of me and Poker Finger, especially Poker Finger. No matter how tough people are, they will not be able to bear this kind of snow trekking.

I hurried over to help Poker Bottle find the entrance to the underground river.

In fact, the temperature of the rocks that Pokerfing touched was not high, at least not enough to melt the snow covered.But it is indeed warmer here than the surrounding areas. We found a couple of Swiss army knives from our bags, and dug around the rocks, and finally saw a flat gap between two staggered rocks.

Compared with the so-called "a line of sky" in some tourist attractions, the folds and fractures of this stratum are too small. After a preliminary look, the inside is still curved and circuitous, not a straight seam.Boyouping's body is very flexible, so it's not a problem to have nine bends and eighteen bends inside.I was in a bad situation, my butt was always stuck in some very narrow places, and I almost rubbed my butt to squeeze through.

After groping for a long time, I successfully entered the underground river.The rock layer exudes a sulfur smell, and the entire water system is filled with white smoke, which looks like a huge natural sauna.

I calmed down all of a sudden, and suddenly felt lighter in my body.If it wasn't for rushing to find an exit, I wish I could strip naked and go down to the shallow water area to have a good bath.

Poker bottle has been very serious since he came down, as if he has returned to the state I first met him, very silent, giving people a heavy feeling.He squatted on the edge of the water and put his hands into the water, motionless, sensing the direction of the water.

Generally, the undercurrent in the mountain body is inclined with the mountain body, and usually going up against the current can reach a higher place on the mountain body.However, if it is a truncated flat water area, the direction of the water flow will be very unclear, and it is impossible to judge which end is the top of the mountain and which end is the bottom of the mountain.The undercurrent of the hot spring in front of him belongs to the latter.

Poker-Face scouted for a while, shook his hands, stood up and walked to the left.

Suddenly he paused, and let out a very slight hum in his nasal cavity.If it is outside in a windy environment, it will basically not be heard.I saw that his left hand was hanging down and clutching his thigh tightly, his walking posture was a bit reluctant, and he seemed to be enduring the pain.Grabbing him quickly, he grabbed his belt and trouser buttons without saying a word.

Poker bottle blocked it with his hand, turned around and avoided me.I was so angry that I dragged him desperately and refused to let him go.The two of us wrestled with each other in an intertwined manner, and in the end Pokerfane pinned me down with overwhelming strength.But I'm not bad either, I've pulled his trousers below his knees.Then I felt a big stiff lump on the outside of his bare thigh.

That's frostbite.

Hiking in the snow all night, the blood circulation of the leg muscles slowed down due to low temperature, resulting in local acute stiffness injuries.

Although it is not a fatal injury, if left alone, it is likely to cause necrosis of subcutaneous tissue.There are also many people who will have necrotic tissue and concurrent infection, which will lead to more serious lymphatic inflammation or thrombus.

Pokerfing's leg was frostbitten on a relatively large area, and it was a large lump that was stiff to the touch.Fortunately, there is a natural healing environment here, and moderate warm water immersion can help relieve frostbite and restore blood circulation.I pushed him to sit up, took off his underwear, shoes and socks without saying a word, and pushed him to take a dip in the hot spring water.

I secretly scolded this idiot Poker Finger in my heart, always playing a hero by himself, I also took off my clothes and jumped down, not to mention pulling Poker Finger's legs to help him massage to promote blood circulation.

After seeing my tough attitude, Poker Bottle compromised.Then I found a water area with a suitable depth, sat down on the rocks at the bottom of the water and relaxed for a while.He pulled me closer, and checked the ceiling and two walls of the cave with a flashlight, in case there were any poisonous snakes and beasts in the place where the temperature was suitable.

After soaking for about half an hour, the condition of Pokerfing's legs improved a bit, at least to ensure that the muscles would not die.He didn't seem emotional, urging me to get ready to hit the road. "Let's go, Wu Xie."

Then my bare ass was touched back and forth twice.

I said to myself that it's true that it's boring, you can come here in a fair manner now that we're both like this.But he stood up directly from the water, and walked towards the shore while copying the water.

I said "ah" for a while, then—could I have misunderstood it?

Poker bottle looked at me in a daze, stood on the shore and turned to look at me, "What's wrong?"

While he was talking, I felt another touch on my buttocks, and what was even clearer was that it was clearly a human hand!

I was so scared that I stuttered: "I, fuck! Something in the water is touching me!"
