The snowstorm completely stopped, and the dark sky gradually became clearer. Zhuo Ling walked downhill for a while. It was easy to go up the mountain but difficult to go down, let alone such a snow-capped mountain with thick snow.
"Nanxi, Nanxi..." Zhuo Ling walked a few steps and looked around. The huge snow-capped mountains were covered with white in all directions. He didn't know where Nanxi would go.
Suddenly, the sole of his foot stumbled on a protruding rock. It was covered with thick snow and he couldn't see it. There was a steep slope in front of him. His tired body couldn't stand still, so he fell on the soft snow.
superior.
The snow covered his waist, and he lowered his gaze. Just looking at it, he saw a protruding snowdrift on the smooth slope, and the snowdrift seemed to be moving.[
Zhuo Ling quickly cheered up and ran over, rolling and crawling on the ground. He knelt with his legs in the snow, and continued to scratch the snow with his hands alternately.
Gradually, a helmet was revealed. Zhuo Ling was almost crazy with joy. He dug up the snow even faster, "Axi, Axi, I am Zhuo Ling. Just hold on, I'm here to save you."
Nanxi's lips were purple from the cold, and her breathing was very weak. Zhuo Ling took off his gloves and pressed his fingertips on her neck. Fortunately, she was still alive.
"Axi, Axi, wake up!" Zhuo Ling shouted while gently patting her cold face, "Don't sleep, wake up quickly..."
His hands touched Nan Xi's face. Her skin was cold and cold, without any warmth at all. Zhuo Ling hugged her face tightly and pressed it against his own.
The snowflakes on Nanxi's face gradually melted into water, making it wet. Her eyelashes flickered slightly, and she felt as if she had found a trace of warmth in the ice cellar. Out of the instinct to survive, she reached out and hugged the person who gave her warmth.
people.
Zhuo Ling was overjoyed and wiped her wet cheeks, "Axi, it's me, it's me... I'm Zhuo Ling."
Nanxi gradually regained consciousness. After breathing in the fresh air, all the cells in her body came to life. Cold was the only thing she felt at the moment.
Zhuo Ling grabbed a handful of snow and put it into his mouth. When the snow turned into water, he lowered his head and blocked Nan Xi's mouth and fed her to drink.
This hint of sweetness warmed her whole body like a hot spring, and Zhuo Ling's body also warmed her like hot coals. "Cough, cough, cough..." She drank so fast that she coughed, and her mental perception became clearer.
She knew that the man holding her at this moment was Zhuo Ling.
"Zhuo Ling..." He called softly with a choked voice, and Nan Xi's eyes suddenly filled with tears, and she reached out and hugged him tightly.
In the heavy snow, two people who love each other hug each other tightly. Nothing could be happier than at this moment. Without any words, they can feel each other just by hugging like this.
"Axi, are you injured?"
Nan Xi shook her head, and in retrospect she was very scared, "I thought I could just keep walking down. The wind and snow were so heavy that I couldn't see the large troops. I don't know when we will end. I really can't walk anymore."
…”
"Okay, okay, it's okay now. I know the way. I'll take you down the mountain. Are you injured? Can you walk by yourself?"
"Yes." Nanxi said firmly.
The cold wind was whistling by, and the sky was always gloomy. As soon as it stopped, it would feel cold. Nanxi's legs had already lost consciousness. Zhuo Ling helped her slowly return to the original road. In fact, Nanxi
We were not far off, but the strong wind and snow at that time made it difficult to walk.
At this time, there was a rumbling sound in my ears, and the sky became darker and darker.
Zhuo Ling and Nan Xi looked at each other, feeling something was wrong, "What's the sound?" [
"It seems like..." Zhuo Ling wasn't sure. After all, he had never experienced an avalanche personally. He looked back and gasped, "It's an avalanche. Run quickly."
However, no matter how fast he ran, he could not catch up with the falling snow. As soon as he finished speaking, the heavy snow was already in front of him. Zhuo Ling didn't think too much. He opened his arms and hugged Nan Xi tightly.
Snow hit him on the back, and the two of them rolled down together, and everything in front of them was pitch black.
The sky was deathly silent, and the snow-capped mountains were in a mess after the avalanche. The mountains originally covered by heavy snow revealed dark yellow vegetation and dark gray rocks, as if the layers were broken.
I don't know how long it took, but the sky became dark. Zhuo Ling woke up from the cold. When he opened his eyes, he saw that they were lying in a small cave. It was this cave that blocked the heavy snowfall like thousands of troops.
Saved his and Nanxi's lives.
"Axi, wake up, wake up..." He kept touching Nanxi in his arms.
Nanxi just fainted and woke up slowly when she heard the sound. The thrilling scene just now was still in her mind. She was scared just thinking about it, "Are we not dead?"
"Fool, of course not."
The cave is not big and can be seen at a glance. The entrance is half blocked by snow. Apart from the ice and snow, the rest of the cave is only big enough for the two of them.
Zhuo Ling looked up and raised his hand to compare. His fingers could not reach the entrance of the cave. It should be just an ordinary rock, but it was surrounded by snow, so it looked like a cave. Looking at the sky, it was approaching night.
He said worriedly: "If we stay here for one night, we may freeze to death."
Nanxi curled up on the ground, with the soles of her feet stepping on hard ice and snow. The underlying snow had gradually solidified into ice. "I'm so cold now. I feel like I'm unconscious all over."
Zhuo Ling knelt down and hugged her, rubbing her arms up and down with his hands, "You will only get colder if you sit like this. Stand up and jump."
However, Nan Xi's face had turned pale. She shook her head vigorously, "I can't stand up, I don't have any strength..."
Zhuo Ling took off his coat without saying anything, "Here, put it on, it will feel better."
"No, you will also be cold."
"Don't worry about me, it's okay with me, Axi, we have to go out, you wait, I will try to climb up." As he said that, Zhuo Ling tried to climb up like a rock climber, but this was snow, not hard.
When he stepped on the rock, he couldn't get up except for more snow falling down.
This method didn't work, so he tried to pick up the snow with his bare hands. The snow was no longer as soft as the newly fallen snow. Every time he picked it, his fingers stung, and every time he picked it, big chunks of snow fell out.
Smash it down.
There wasn't much space for them to stay, and large chunks of snow fell down, burying their boots in a short time.
This method doesn't work either.
"Zhuo Ling, what should we do? Will we die here?" The hope that was just ignited in Nan Xi's heart was destroyed again. She was scared and felt even more guilty. If she hadn't left without saying goodbye, Zhuo Ling would have also
She wouldn't chase him, and if she hadn't insisted on going to this snow-capped mountain, she wouldn't have put Zhuo Ling in danger.
