Chapter 157 Walking Alone in the Snow

It gets dark earlier in winter, and it gets darker even earlier when it snows. Seeing that night is coming, Wu Zhongyuan begins to worry about where to stay. The weather is so cold, he must find a place to spend the night, and he will definitely freeze to death if he keeps wandering in the wild.

At this time, it was not like modern times. There were no unfinished buildings on the roadside, and there were no nursing homes in orchards. If you wanted to spend the night in the wild, you had only two options. One was to find a shelter and make a fire to keep warm, or the other was to find a natural cave. But he didn't have any fire-making tools with him, so he couldn't make a fire and had to find a cave.

Caves are not found everywhere, so he had to look for them. Until nightfall, he could not find any decent caves, not to mention decent ones, but none that were not decent.

After searching for more than an hour, Wu Zhongyuan gave up. The possibility of finding the cave was too small. It was better to keep going and get to the next village as soon as possible.

But he didn't know where the next village was or how far away it was, so he had no choice but to move forward.

The further he walked, the more unsure Wu Zhongyuan felt. The snow on the ground was very thick, covering the road, and there were big trees on both sides of the road. The crowns of the big trees would block the sun, so there were very few shrubs growing under the big trees. , without shrubs, it is difficult to tell the direction of the road. In order to avoid getting lost, he could only stop every once in a while to push aside the snow and check whether there were any fallen leaves or dead grass under the snow.

However, this method is not very safe, because there may not be many people walking on this road, and there are dead grass and fallen leaves on the road.

The shoes he wore were made of cowhide. After walking in the snow for a long time, the snow water seeped in through the needle holes. His feet had long been numb from the cold, and his body was getting colder. If he wanted to keep warm, he had to keep walking. If you walk, you will sweat, if you sweat, you will freeze, and if you freeze, you will get colder. This is a vicious cycle.

Wu Zhongyuan was in a very low mood when he left the village. His mood turned into frustration and annoyance when he was walking hard in the snow. But at this time, he couldn't help but want to laugh. After thinking about it carefully, he didn't seem to have done anything evil. , why did you get retribution? If it wasn’t retribution, then how could you be so unlucky?

It is said that good fortune and misfortune never come alone, and this is true. At some point, a pack of more than a dozen wolves followed him, just dozens of meters away. When he left, the wolves also left. When he stops, the wolves stop too.

Wu Zhongyuan was holding back his anger and had no place to vent it. When he saw the wolves, he immediately took off the long bow on his shoulder, nocked an arrow and started shooting.

When he was shooting the bow, a strange idea came to his mind. It would be interesting if the bowstring broke.

But he wasn't unlucky enough yet. The bowstring didn't break, and he didn't shoot the arrow. In fact, there was nothing wrong with these wolves. It was freezing and snowy. If they weren't so hungry, who would come out to hunt? Forget it. , don’t rush to kill them now, wait until they actually come up to attack.

The wolves were quite wary of bows and arrows, so when they saw him nocking an arrow and firing his bow, they all turned around and ran away.

As the saying goes, climb high and see far. If you stand on a high place, you may be able to see the light in the distance. Thinking of this, he left the road and walked to high places. Snowy days also have the advantage of snowy days, that is, you can Leave footprints and return the same way after reaching the top of the mountain.

After finally climbing to the top of the mountain, Wu Zhongyuan found that he had come in vain. It was still snowing in the sky, and the surroundings were completely white, and he could not see anything. To say the least, even if it doesn't snow, there probably won't be any fire. Who would light a fire in the open air in this kind of weather?

After giving a wry smile, he started to retrace his steps. Not far away, he suddenly heard a strange noise coming from behind him. He turned around and looked back, and saw a black shadow rushing eastward from the top of the mountain, borrowing strength from the ground.

Seeing this, he hurriedly ran back to the top of the mountain. He looked up into the distance and saw a blurry black shadow in the wind and snow drifting rapidly to the east. This method of movement exceeded the scope of Qinggong. This must be the promotion of purple energy. Flying through the air can only be used later.

However, he just watched the black shadow go away without shouting. Even if he shouted, it would be in vain. People would not turn around and come back to show him the way.

When the black shadow disappeared, Wu Zhongyuan turned around and wanted to go down the mountain. As soon as he turned around, he suddenly found something on the snow. He squatted down and took a closer look. It was a few drops of blood. Because the weather was extremely cold, the blood did not seep into the snow after it dropped.

The dark shadow that passed by earlier was relatively petite, probably a woman. I don’t know what happened to this person, but she was injured anyway.

Just when he was checking the blood drops on the snow, two huge black figures appeared in the southwest sky. If it hadn't snowed, he would have been able to see what these two black figures were. Unfortunately, it was snowing. He saw It's not clear. I can only confirm that these two black figures are not human, because the human body is not that big.

The two black shadows moved very fast. For safety reasons, Wu Zhongyuan hid behind a tree and tilted his head to observe. When the black shadows came within thirty meters, he saw the true forms of the two black shadows. They were two huge eagle.

The size of these two eagles is much larger than that of similar species, with a wingspan of at least four to five meters, and their coat color is similar to that of common eagles.

Two eagles fluttered their wings and flew from a distance. As they flew over the top of the mountain, one of the eagles actually spoke, "There are footprints on the top of the mountain."

"Those are man's footprints, don't pay attention to them." Another eagle said.

Wu Zhongyuan was confused when he heard the eagles talking. After thinking about it, he suddenly realized that these two eagles were not real eagles, but masters of the cattle clan who could transform into animal bodies. I was suddenly enlightened and at the same time frightened. Fortunately, one of the guys had good eyesight and knew that there were man's footprints on the ground, otherwise he would probably come down and chase him.

The two eagles flew eastward and quickly disappeared.

After they left, Wu Zhongyuan hurriedly ran down the mountain and continued to move eastward from the forest.

The three people who passed by before were also going east, and he might bump into them if he went east. However, knowing that, he could only go east, because the road leads to the east. If he goes south or north, , the hope of encountering the village is even slimmer.

Wu Zhongyuan was already hungry after not eating for a day, but the hunger was bearable. What he couldn't bear was the severe cold. It was so cold that his temples hurt from the cold. Every time he took a breath of air, the cold air would flow down his trachea. It choked directly into the lungs, and there was a burning pain in the lungs.

He kept walking in a dull manner, and his mind was a little dazed. In order to refresh himself, or maybe he was confused due to the cold, he started to sing, "Snowflakes are falling, the north wind is blowing, the sky and the earth are vast... "

He rarely sings, not only out of tune, but also forgets the words, but these are not important, because there is no audience, even if there is one, they will not understand what he is singing, because he uses modern language, and people who can understand All after thousands of years.

It is said that men who can sing are more likely to win the favor of women. Unfortunately, he is one of those who can't sing. Not only did he forget the lyrics, he also sang out of tune, "The wind is blowing coldly, and the snow is falling. The road is long, and the song is singing." Let's go. Look back and look at the stars. The past is like smoke and clouds..."

At the end of the song, even he couldn't listen anymore, so he stopped singing and started talking to himself, "Am I sick? Why would I come back here if I wasn't sick?"

"What's wrong with me? I insist on being noble. What's the difference between me and those stupid women with savior complexes?"

"Oh, beauty, don't leave me, or I won't be able to survive."

"Okay, you're so pitiful, I'll marry you."

"What the fuck, they took the bait, why did I take the bait too? Whether they live or die is none of my business, and I didn't eat a grain of rice from them."

"That's not right. It won't work if I don't come back. The 18th Precinct will chase me back. I'm not asking for torture. I was chased back by others."

Fortunately, there was no one else around, otherwise he would have been mistaken for a psychopath. Even if he didn't understand what he was saying, he would have been mistaken for a psychopath, because not only was his language wrong, but his tone was also abnormal.

In fact, he is indeed a little delirious now. He underestimated the impact of cold on people. Hypothermia will slow down the blood flow and cause a series of adverse reactions, including physical weakness and insufficient oxygen supply to the brain. He Now I have started to see things ghosting.

After walking for more than half an hour, he began to feel hot. How could it be hot at this time? Heat is just an illusion. People who are frozen to death will feel hot before they die. This is why many people who are frozen to death are dying. The reason why I would take off my clothes before.

Realizing the seriousness of his situation, Wu Zhongyuan calmed down. In fact, he had nothing to miss, he had nothing, no worries, and no need to worry about being embarrassed after his death, because no one knew him. There is no need to worry that Wang Xinran will be sad, because in Wang Xinran's imagination, when he comes back, he will be the king and dominate the world.

No, I can't say that I don't have any worries. There is also a Sanhu, and I haven't been able to do what I promised to it.

But it doesn't matter. Sanhu doesn't know his existence now, and he won't resent him for breaking his promise.

No, even if Sanhu didn't know of his existence, he still broke his trust.

But there was nothing I could do about it. It wasn't because I had the ability to do it but I didn't do it, but because I died.

Wu Zhongyuan is just moving forward mechanically now, just for the sake of persistence. In fact, he has no hope. There is not a single footprint in the snow, and even if there is a village in front, it is still far away.

It would be a lie to say that he has no regrets. Now that he is back, he should pay homage to his parents. Others were not kind to him, but his parents were still very good to him. It was not his parents who abandoned him back then, but the wizard's behavior. Something went wrong. He didn't remember his parents, and Wu Kui had no impression of them. But just because his father dared to bring him back to the Bear Clan to raise him, he should give his father a thumbs up. In today's terms, he was an illegitimate child. Ah, dad will be criticized if he takes him back to the Bear Clan. What does it mean to dare to take responsibility? This is called dare to take responsibility. In Lin Qingming’s words, as long as you can bear the consequences of what you have done, no matter what you have done All are correct.

No son wants to disgrace him. Although Wu Zhongyuan didn't do anything, he was a little proud deep down in his heart. Once he came back bravely, others didn't need him anymore. That was their business. You can't say that you are timid. Secondly, he left decisively after receiving sarcastic words in the village during the day. To this day, he does not regret leaving that village...
