"Dang!" I was swimming upstream at the bottom of the lake, but I hit ice! It was not the entrance of the hole where I fell.
Haitang tried a few more times, but she hit the ice and couldn't find the hole. Seeing that her hands and feet were already cold and about to cramp, she couldn't hold on any longer...
Just when I was about to despair, I heard a few bangs and bangs on the shore.
That is a familiar sound, a sound created by myself. Isn't it the sound of the clay ball I made...
At this time, there was a light above the head, and the sun shone in...penetrating the ice and the lake water.
Several holes were blown into the glacial lake.
Haitang mustered up her courage and swam toward the nearest hole, exposing her head...
Breathing heavily, my whole body was cold, and I no longer had the strength to climb up...
Datong was already waiting on the ice. He reached out to grab Haitang, dragged her to the shore little by little, and then held her in his arms to keep her warm...
When Haitang calmed down, Datong lit a bonfire. It was already dusk, and the rebellious slaves began to rest. No one came to this cold and cold ice lake, not to mention that there were always hidden things in the ice lake.
The corpse was very strange, so these people did not approach it.
"Da, Datong..." Haitang's teeth were chattering and her whole body was cold.
"Don't talk, I'm here, right by your side." Datong added a handful of firewood and continued to hold Begonia in his arms, so as to keep her warm.
"I, I want to say, you, you came really, really timely..." Haitang said intermittently, tilting her head in Datong's arms, and fell asleep deeply.
This sleep was sound and solid. Although Datong's arms were numb from the pressure, Datong still stood motionless, for fear that Haitang would wake up.
Both of them are already dusty. Like the fugitives in this war, in fact they are just the victims, and they brought it upon themselves.
But at least they all know what troubled times are.
After sleeping all night, Haitang's body gradually warmed up.
Datong did not close his eyes all night, and kept guarding Begonia.
If she wakes up, he will hug her tightly. If she is cold, he will give her his last piece of clothing. In this way, the two of them spend the night together...
When the morning light came the next day, Haitang woke up. She had a particularly fragrant sleep that night. Although it was cold and she was frightened during the day, she was compensated by the warm embrace of the night.
Datong got some food for Begonia. Many of the destroyed crops had seeds, like corn, and were half-ripe everywhere. Datong picked some and roasted them on the bonfire.
The fragrant smell makes people salivate.
The two of them had a roasted corn breakfast together. In this chaotic morning light, in this desolate scene, it was a bit unusual.
"How did you know I was in the lake?" Haitang asked.
"I saw a light, and I remember Mr. Jiu said that there will be a light when you come, which is a sign. So I came to the lake where the light appeared, and just saw those people leaving, and heard the sound in the lake.
The sound of struggling, so you will know the rest." Datong smiled and handed Haitang another piece of roasted corn.
After being soaked in ice water, Haitang yearned for hot food. When the roasted corn was still hot, she wanted to eat it.
Haitang took out the jade cicada from her neck.
If he had taken a step earlier, maybe he would have been able to return to his parents' house without being besieged by men.
Looking at Yuchan, this time Haitang discovered an astonishing change that could make her suffocate!
