The snowstorm lasted all night, and the sky cleared up at dawn.
Bai Wenwen sat in the snow, rested for a while and ate some dry food.
It wasn't until this moment that he came back to his senses. The woman who had been following him disappeared at some point. She seemed to be integrated with the first ray of dawn in the morning, turning into a ray of light and dissipating in every corner.
.
Bai Wenwen sat alone on the snow, stuffing cold and hard dried meat into her mouth, chewing hard.
She felt her cheeks were a little sore, but her heart was even more sore, so she simply packed up her things and continued walking forward.
But she didn't regret following the mysterious woman all the way out, because she knew that Zhang Long was probably going in this direction.
The white snow looks particularly dazzling under the sunlight.
The snowflakes crunched under her feet, and Bai Wenwen's joints also crunched. She was so cold that her fingers and toes were frozen, and she even lost consciousness.
But she felt that when she was walking on the road that Zhang Long had walked, he was waiting for her in front.
At night, Bai Wenwen thought about what Zhang Long would do in this situation. She found many broken branches in the snow and built a temporary hut under a big tree.
There was no shelter from the wind or rain. It was only a prototype, but she felt that it would give her some sense of security.
Fortunately, the weather was good that night and the wolves in the wild were not hungry.
The next morning, when Bai Wenwen woke up and sat up, she saw a man covered in ice and carrying snow walking towards her.
The man was tall and his hair was as messy as his beard, but his face seemed to have been chiseled with a knife, and his eyes were looking firmly ahead.
Holding a Tang knife, he walked toward Bai Wenwen in the snow.
The moment Bai Wenwen saw this man, she reflexively covered her mouth with her hands, and was so surprised that she couldn't speak at all.
She saw this man walking towards her, came over and stood up to greet him. The thousands of words she had prepared in her heart were all in vain at this moment. She opened her arms and wanted to hug him.
But this man walked past her helplessly, muttering: "I seem to have been here before..."
Why do you say he is blind?
Because he can't see it.
This kind of invisibility is not that there is darkness in front of you, but that your eyes don't exist at all, and you can't even see black.
Intuitively speaking, this feeling is exactly like what the blindfolded eyes feel when taking an intelligence test.
Bai Wenwen reluctantly opened her hands and stood in front of him.
But the man just kept walking forward and finally ran into Bai Wenwen's arms.
"Zhang Long!"
Heart-rending shouts, accompanied by a trace of crying, penetrated into the man's ears.
Zhang Long was stunned for a moment, then hugged Bai Wenwen tightly.
"You came to see me."
Just a few words, Bai Wenwen burst into tears.
…
"Snowblind?"
Zhang Long devoured it, stuffing most of the food in the bag into his stomach, and didn't forget to twitch his fingers after eating.
"Well, white things will reflect sunlight, and so will snowflakes. If people stay in such strong light for a long time, their eyes will soon become temporarily blind. This is why those who go on polar expeditions wear sunglasses."
"Then...will you be okay?"
"Of course, it's just snow blindness. It's not like I'm really blind. I just need to eat more fish and I'll be fine. It's just that I can't see anything all of a sudden. It's a bit uncomfortable."
Zhang Long said this while facing the air with a silly smile.
Bai Wenwen coughed dryly, held Zhang Long's face, and asked him to face her.
"Here it is."
"oh."
Zhang Long smiled and scratched the back of his head.
"Oh, by the way, how did you get here?"
This was when we got to the point. Bai Wenwen immediately explained everything that happened at that time. Zhang Long was shocked and surprised.
It turned out that she was not hallucinating, and Bai Wenwen also saw the woman.
But Bai Wenwen later added that when the woman walked, she left no footprints in the snow, which made Zhang Long fall into deep thought again.
Soon, Zhang Long started talking about the weirdness of this snowfield again.
Upon hearing this, Bai Wenwen immediately observed her surroundings vigilantly, and was surprised to find that she was no longer in the same position where she slept yesterday.
Could it be that something was carrying him so far while he was asleep?
Zhang Long felt that this was not normal and it was impossible for such a thing to happen.
Even if there were, it would be impossible to leave no traces in the snow.
The two people didn't guess what was going on, so they had to look around. Fortunately, they found the place where Bai Wenwen lived last night before dark.
Zhang Long was stunned as he touched the pile of dry firewood.
"Honey, sometimes I think you are quite smart, and sometimes I think you are stupid and cute."
Bai Wenwen lowered her head and lightly punched Zhang Long's chest a few times with her pink fist.
She said that a ruler is long and an inch is short, and no one is perfect. Besides, if I know everything, then what use do I have from you?
Zhang Long felt that this was unreasonable, but he couldn't refute it.
With a wry smile, he took her to dig a hole in a leeward place, and then taught Bai Wenwen how to make fire. After several days, Zhang Long finally had a warm meal.
At night, he lay on the ground, holding Bai Wenwen in his arms, and asked her if she was afraid of the dark?
Bai Wenwen said that the moon is very round and bright tonight.
The smell of meat lingered between Zhang Long's teeth. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he brushed his teeth, but sometimes this feeling was quite good. It was convenient to numb himself and make him think that he was lying on a small bed in the camp.
Rather than on uneven ice.
It was not only Zhang Long who asked about the smell of meat, but also the hungry wolf.
Their flesh pads stepped on the snow without making a single sound. In the silence, they opened their huge mouths, revealing a mouth of fangs aimed at the trachea.
"Ouch" sound.
The wolf was punched away by Zhang Long.
Because he was so cold that he could even feel the slightest bit of heat emanating from the wolf's mouth.
Bai Wenwen was awakened by the sound, opened her eyes and found that she was surrounded by wolves.
Zhang Long asked her, can you be my eyes?
Bai Wenwen didn't hesitate at all, she said, OK.
Zhang Long pulled out the Tang Sword, opened the distance between his legs as before, and stabilized his lower body.
A wolf jumped up under a golden full moon.
The blood dyed the ground red and seeped into the snow, making it particularly dazzling under the moonlight.
After one round, Zhang Long was panting from exhaustion. After all, it was more convenient when he had no eyes to see. He was injured, and blood kept pouring out of the wound, and the wolves were also scared away.
Zhang Long gritted his teeth and smiled and said that we have fresh meat to eat, but unfortunately there is no seasoning.
