Chapter 701: The Devil's Promise(1/4)
Bamusi thinks everything is her mother's fault.
If her mother hadn't said she wanted to leave, she wouldn't have had to suffer this kind of crime.
Surrounded by mountains.
There is heavy snow falling in the sky.
The entire world was dyed white. Whether it was rivers, wilderness or thin forests, they all disappeared and were submerged in the white snow.
In this extremely cold weather, Bamusi, her parents, sister, and brother were lost. They had already lost their transportation and most of their supplies, and the situation became increasingly critical.
The father and mother kept running to high places to look for directions, trying to find the road and location covered by the snow again. As the sky gradually darkened, everyone felt a little panicked.
Bamusi had wrapped her head tightly, but the cold wind and frost still numbed her entire head. The coldness seemed to have penetrated the skull, penetrated deep into the deepest part of the brain, and froze the brain.
"Huh...huh...huh..."
Bamusi was so tired that she wanted to throw the bag away, stop, and then sit on the ground and lose her temper.
But she also knew that if she stopped she would die, which frightened her.
therefore.
All her dissatisfaction could only be accumulated in her heart, and she felt extremely wronged.
She could only shout forward, to her parents.
"Dad, Mom."
"Where are we now, and when can we get out?"
Bamusi's father and mother are ordinary workers hired by the local branch of the Potion Breeding Guild. They were sent here this winter. However, the potion breeding ground here has not yet been established, so the couple's tasks are more
Stay here and inspect the growth of the surrounding plants in winter, waiting for the guild to send someone over one day.
But something unexpected happened this winter, with blizzards and severe weather not seen in a century coming. The sudden storm overturned the temporary shelter they built out of wood and scared away their pack animals.
The heavy snow and strong winds continued, making it impossible for them to repair and retrieve the beast of burden, and completely cut off contact with the outside world.
It took a few days.
They decided to brave the wind and snow to leave this inaccessible place and go outside to seek rescue and a way out.
However, the road was not going smoothly. They lost their way in the heavy snow. The trailer they were carrying fell off the cliff on the road, and the few supplies they had left gradually ran out.
Bamusi was extremely cold. At the beginning, she might not have thought she could sit still and wait for death, but after walking around outside for so long, she began to miss the feeling of sitting still and waiting for death.
"We shouldn't leave. This is simply a stupid choice..."
The mother turned around and glared at Bamusi: "Can you shut your mouth?"
Bamu clenched her fists and retorted loudly without giving in: "You obviously did something wrong, but you didn't let me speak."
My mother wanted to say something, but in the end she just sighed: "No matter what, we have to find a way to survive."
After advancing for some distance, my father climbed up to a high place again. After looking around, he ran back into the valley.
"found it."
"found it."
"found it……"
I heard my father's surprise call from a distance, and as I got closer, the call became clearer and clearer.
The father ran to his wife and children and said to them.
"The direction is correct, I can see the mountain pass over there."
"It's right over there. As long as you go out there, it will be a smooth journey."
"But there is a problem. I don't know if the heavy snow has sealed the mountain pass. If it seals the mountain pass, we will have no way to leave and will have to return the way we came."
The wind and snow were blowing loudly, and the sky became darker.
It will definitely be difficult to pass the mountain pass today, so we must find a way to set up camp first.
"It's getting dark soon. Let's go take a look around and gather some supplies needed for the night while there's still light."
"Otherwise, we will have a hard time tonight."
The three children nodded and began to look around for firewood and all edible food. Even if it was just a piece of rotten wood, it could bring life-saving warmth in such a cold night.
Bamusi took her younger brother to a coniferous forest in the distance. She was unwilling to climb the slope and picked up scattered dead branches at the foot of the mountain.
The younger brother climbed up the tree to chop wood and soon chopped a lot.
But when he was busy and happy, he accidentally fell out of the tree and rolled down the hillside.
On the way, he hit a rock and fell out of the height.
Panting, Bamusi ran downstairs and saw her brother grimacing in pain, but it seemed like there was no big problem.
"Not dead!"
"It would be better to die. It would be less troublesome."
Bamusi's eyes showed an expression of disgust. She hated trouble the most, and her brother always seemed to be causing trouble.
"Climbing so high seems like you have good physical strength."
"You show off your love so much, now you should be punished!"
"Guys like you..."
Bamusi continued to pour out her dissatisfaction towards her younger brother. The younger brother groaned in pain, but he also retorted under Bamusi's severe criticism.
"Can you help me get up when you say this?"
Bamusi: "Can't you stand up by yourself?"
"You made a mistake, why should you hold me responsible for your mistake?"
Finally, she dissatisfied and helped her brother up. He walked very slowly and seemed to be wincing in pain every time he moved.
However, the younger brother saw that after helping her up, he immediately left Bamusi who was walking in front. Finally, he endured the pain and walked the rest of the way.
After returning home, my father checked it.
"There's some trouble. The bone is broken. I can't move casually anymore."
The problem is more serious than imagined. You can see the blackness on my brother's back spreading continuously, which looks extremely scary.
Even if you can't see the specific inner injury, you can tell by looking at it that it's definitely not a small problem.
The best thing is to go to a doctor, but of course they don't have this condition now.
The younger sister, the second eldest child, ran over. She used wood and cloth to bandage and fix her brother, without saying a word during the whole process.
Compared to the proud Bamusi and her active younger brother, she is more of a transparent person at home, receiving no attention and speaking little.
The next day, it was still dark.
After dinner, my father and mother discussed it and decided to set off now and go to the mountain in front to observe the situation on the other side of the mountain pass to see if the heavy snow had sealed the mountain pass.
The mother said to the three children: "Let's go ahead to see if the mountain pass is sealed and how to go next. You guys should rest here and wait for us."
Bamus asked: "What if the mountain pass is sealed? Do we just sit here and wait to die?"
Dad seemed very safe: "I remember there is a hut left by the Witcher Guild around here. If we really can't get out, let's go there and stay for a while!"
Bamusi didn't want to go to the witcher's hut. I heard that the witchers were a bunch of lunatics. There was no normal guy who dared to deal with the monsters in the abyss.
But she should be able to leave soon, and she doesn't have to brave the snow to climb mountains, and she can still take a break.
She was still quite happy.
She returned to the tent and prepared to take a nap, but not long after she fell asleep, a strange noise suddenly came from outside.
"Ahhhhh..."
There was a terrifying echo in the air, and an avalanche was heard, rumbling like a mountain collapsing.
"Run quickly."
"Run quickly."
As soon as Bamusi and her sister came out of the tent, they ran away immediately. After running not far, the sister suddenly remembered that her brother was still in the tent.
The sister dragged her brother and ran to the other side. They had just reached a slope until they saw the overwhelming snow in front of them, completely submerging their previous camp.
It was not completely bright yet, and the surrounding area was even darker due to the wind and snow, but they understood that the direction of the disaster was exactly where their parents were heading.
My sister said with a trembling voice in disbelief.
"dad!"
"Mother!"
Then, his eyes fell into silence.
After daybreak, they climbed up to check.
Regardless of whether the mountain pass was sealed before or not, it is completely sealed now.
To be continued...
