The blind man defended him: "Even if he shoots, he can't save Changfa. Changfa died to save you!"

A word woke up the dreamer. When the sparrow heard the blind man's words, she suddenly turned her gun and aimed at the blind man. She shook her head hard, but tears fell: "You are lying! You bastard!" Her eyes turned dark and she fainted.

Luo Lie reached out to hug her in time to prevent her from being injured, and glared at the blind man with some blame.

The blind man said a little aggrievedly: "Why are you glaring at me? To be honest, you are wrong."

Luo Lie sighed. Many times the truth is the most hurtful thing. With Sparrow's mind, how could she not know the cause of Changfa's death? Changfa died to save her. She could not accept this fact at all. She could not bear such pressure and self-blame in a short period of time, so she took off her anger on Luo Lie and accused him of not shooting the tiger in time. This is a psychological escape and the most common emotional pressure transfer. However, the blind man's big truth ruthlessly shattered her self-escaping, forcing Sparrow to accept the bloody fact in front of her, which made her faint because of pain.

Luo Lie put the sparrow into the tent and carefully covered her with a quilt. The blind man and Arnold were both waiting outside. After Luo Lie settled the sparrow, he asked Arnold to guard outside the tent. He and the blind man came to Chang Fa's body with Chang Fa.

Looking at the bloody corpse, Luo Lie suddenly remembered his eyes before his death. He was obviously trying to say something. If he was not wrong, he should have wanted to help take good care of the sparrows. Luo Lie sighed secretly, but he did not expect that this expedition was not good. He was ambushed by bandits, and then attacked by tigers. He lost a team member just now.

Luo Lie squatted down and silently closed his eyes for Changfa. Although he saved Changfa's life in Yingkou, he did not save his fate of death young. Perhaps everything was already destined. He whispered: "Blind, go get two armour shovels, let's bury Changfa!" He must not abandon his companion in the wilderness, allowing Changfa's body to be trampled by wild beasts. Although Changfa was just a small person, he defended the sparrow with his life.

It was not easy to dig a hole in the frozen soil. Although the two of them worked together, it took two full hours. After this activity, the blind man was so tired that he was sweating profusely. He took off all the sheepskin coats outside. An Datou also realized that the team was in trouble and kept barking with dogs. Now he became honest and squatted not far away and watched them dig the hole.

Luo Lie and the blind man lifted Chang Fa's body together and put him in the dug pit.

After Changfa was buried in the soil, Luo Lie used two branches to tie it into the shape of a cross to plant it in front of the grave, then took off his hat and stood in front of the newly raised tomb and chanted in a low voice: "Dust returns to dust, soil returns to soil, let the rebirth be peaceful, and let the living be liberated again. May your soul rest in heaven, Amen!" The blind man took off his hat and stood in front of the grave with Luo Lie in silence.

Arnold, who was waiting in front of the tent, looked solemn and lowered his head towards the tomb. At this time, the sparrow woke up and quietly walked out of the tent, her eyes were already swollen, and she knelt down with tears in front of the cemetery, feeling sad and self-blame. An Zhai was right, Chang Fa died to save himself and had nothing to do with Luo Lie.

Luo Lie gave a look at the blind man and signaled that the sparrow would be alone for a while, and remembered Changfa, who sacrificed to protect her.

The sky was getting darker, and Arnold lit the bonfire. After all this tossing, they were tired and hungry. They boiled some boiling water with snow melting water. Luo Lie used a military green enamel teapot to pick up a cup of boiling water, took a sip of boiling water, and moistened his already cracked lips.

Arnold said, "The tiger will come back."

Luo Lie didn't say anything, holding the teapot with both hands, but in fact he had the same idea as Arnold.

The blind man sighed and said, "The guide ran away, often sent him to death. The two people who are most familiar with the terrain in this area are gone. Now the snow is flying all over the sky, and we can't tell the direction at all. It's not a solution for us to walk forward with our heads down."

Luo Lie was still indifferent.

The blind man said again: "The horse is gone, and the dry food is lost. If we continue like this, we may all be left here."

Arnold said: "It's a pity that we don't have planes. If there is one, we can easily fly to Heihu Ridge."

The blind man had expected this guy to agree with a few words, but he couldn't expect that he would talk about such irrelevant nonsense. The plane? In the blind man's impression, he had never seen that thing.

Luo Lie had already stood up and walked towards the sparrow, came to the sparrow and bowed down to hand over the teapot in his hand, and whispered: "Drink a glass of water to warm up your body."

The sparrow raised her head with tears and looked at Luo Lie. The anger and sorrow she had just disappeared. Her emotions had completely calmed down. She nodded and said full of sadness: "I'm sorry, I killed Chang Fa, it has nothing to do with you."

Luo Lie whispered: "It's his own choice, it has nothing to do with you. If I had been more decisive at that time, I would not have let the tiger go." The sparrow didn't blame him, but he took the initiative to take responsibility on himself. In fact, his real intention was to think that the sparrow would be better.

At this time, a low tiger roar came from the distant mountains and forests. The tiger roar echoed in the surrounding valleys for a long time with the bitter cold wind. Their mood became tense again. Night had already fallen, and the ferocious beast did not give up its efforts to hunt them and was still wandering around.

Luo Lie said: "Blind, prepare to have a meal."

The blind man said, "There is not much dry food."

"You have to eat enough." Luo Lie paused for a moment, his eyes showing an extremely firm belief: "Only after eating enough, we have the strength to kill this tiger!"

Several people looked at Luo Lie at the same time: "You want to kill a tiger?"

Luo Lie nodded without hesitation and said, "Either it dies or we die!"

The bonfire was beating. After they had eaten, they sat around the bonfire. The orange-red flames warmed their bodies while slowly soothing their wounded hearts. The roar of the tiger sounded from time to time, sometimes near and sometimes far away. The tiger was extremely cunning and knew how to put pressure on its prey.

The blind man said, "Will it come?"

Luo Lie nodded and said, "I will! You will act." According to the plan they had just planned, Luo Lie sat by the bonfire as bait, and everyone else climbed to the surrounding trees to hide. As long as the tiger dared to appear, they would shoot it without hesitation.

The blind man patted Luo Lie on the shoulder and said, "Be careful." He and Arnold climbed the fir tree they had chosen in advance. The blind man was not good at climbing trees. He used a mountain knife to cut a lot of holes on the tree to make it easier to get on. He used his hands and feet to climb up to the top. The blind man was much higher than Arnold, and stood high and looked far away. He wanted to use his night eyes to discover the traces of the tiger as soon as possible.

The sparrow was not in a hurry to be powerful, but sat down beside Luo Lie, looking at Luo Lie silently sharpening the charred end of the ash wax rod with a flying knife. This ash wax rod was used before it happened, and now it is stained with a lot of blood.

Luo Lie said: "The tiger may come back at any time, you can hide it from the tree."

The sparrow took out the Mauser rifle that it used before it often happened, turned the gun back and handed it to Luo Lie. Luo Lie just glanced, his eyes returned to the bonfire, and whispered: "I don't need it."

"Why don't you use a gun? No matter how fast the flying knife is, it cannot pass the bullet!" asked the sparrow in confusion.

Luo Lie picked up the ash pole on the ground and continued to trim its tip with a flying knife.

"Why?"

Luo Lie's movements suddenly stopped. After a while, he said: "I have sworn that I will never use a gun again in this life!"

The sparrow bit his lip. This explanation seemed reasonable, but it was equivalent to not saying it. Luo Lie was still unwilling to reveal the reason why he didn't use the gun. Anger arose in his heart for no reason: "Then do you take risks with your own life?"

Luo Lie smiled faintly: "I have a knife!"
