Wang Yiyi was too lazy to pay attention to Wang Cuihua's crazy behavior. Don't argue with fools, don't argue with retarded people, just say a few words without losing a piece of flesh. The more you talk to this kind of person, the more disgusting you become.
Soon it got dark, because it was already dark in the cave. After it got dark, everyone else fell asleep next to the fire. There was a huge firewood in the fire, so that such a big firewood would last longer.
Wang Yiyi didn't dare to sleep. She could clearly feel the temperature dropping, and the wind outside the cave was getting stronger and stronger, and the sounds of various beasts were getting louder and shriller.
Wang Yiyi is like a death row prisoner, undergoing the final trial.
It was almost 11 o'clock when Wang Yiyi, who was sitting next to the fire, shivered. She immediately ran to wrap her quilt around herself, and threw the various firewood she had prepared in advance into the fire, which was not very big.
I even threw in some finely chopped firewood and pine needles, and with the help of combustion aids, the fire soon became big. Even the old man and woman sleeping next to the fire felt a little hot, so they squeezed out, just for a moment. They squeezed back again, even closer to the fire.
Wang Yiyi quietly walked to the door. The two horses had fallen to the ground from the cold. Horses were the main means of transportation. She didn't know whether to bring these horses in.
If the horses are not brought in, they will definitely die. If they are brought in, the arrangements they have made these days will definitely be broken.
Wang Yiyi did not hesitate. She pushed the old lady awake almost instantly. After pushing the old lady, the old lady realized that she was closer to the fire.
"This weather is not normal. Please wake up the others. Wake me up first. There are two dogs tied up outside."
The old lady didn't hesitate, she grabbed the old man's ears and woke him up. The old man was still a little irritable after being woken up, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he felt a cold feeling coming from outside, and his whole mind came to his senses. .
"Master, do you want to bring the horses outside in?" Wang Yiyi's voice was full of anxiety.
The old man was just stunned for a moment, then opened the door and pulled the horse in.
The moment the door was opened, an extremely cold breath poured into the cave. Others who were still sleeping were instantly awakened by the cold.
Originally, Wang Yiyi used the weak firelight in the fire pit to call people. When the old man went out, the old lady also lit the torch.
The whole cave became a little brighter in an instant, and only each other's figures could be seen. The old man pulled the horse back, closed the wooden door, and put down the straw mat hanging behind the wooden door.
Others didn't dare to sleep after being woken up by the cold, and the kicking sound stopped after the horses were pulled in.
The deeper the night is, the more sounds and senses are amplified, especially when the wind outside becomes louder and louder. The whistling sound can make people sigh even through the wooden door and straw curtain, or even across the huge mountains.
At this time, even Wang Cuihua rarely calmed down, and remained silent until one after another, sharper screams spread across the entire mountain range. The sound was too noisy. I don’t know what kind of wild beast it was, but the roar of the tiger and the The whine of the vultures does not stop at the ears.
Even the youngest child couldn't help but pull the old lady's clothes and start sobbing. Maybe he was too scared and didn't dare to let himself cry. The trembling shoulders and suppressed crying made everyone feel a little sad. .
By this time, the old man had already understood that this time it might be a cold wave.
According to records, the Northern Xiao Kingdom has only experienced two cold waves. One was when it was almost restored by the previous dynasty, and the other was when a weak king took over and the regent Qing Jun ascended to the throne.
Even though the gaps in the cave have been filled in completely, and even the wooden door has two layers and a straw curtain is hung, it can't stop the cold from seeping in from the door.
Everyone moved closer to the fire unconsciously.
The old man got up and changed the torch. When the two torches were illuminated, it was much brighter.
It shouldn't be the coldest time yet, and the old man didn't bother to tell these people to move.
Time passed little by little, about half an hour passed.
The old man suddenly roared: "Everyone, stand up and walk around the fire. Walk quickly."
The old man's voice was full of fear and command. Now no one dared to listen to the old man's words.
More than a dozen people began to gather around the fire, running and walking. The old man added some more firewood to the fire. Even in the dim light reflected by the fire, you could see the door closing little by little. Frost.
An extreme coldness came from the direction of the door. No one dared to stop. Even the four-year-old child was dragged away. Everyone was walking, even the two horses started running in the entire cave. Take a stroll.
One minute and one second passed, and after running for about half an hour, everyone began to sweat. The old man stopped caring about them and asked them to sit down.
"Wrap your quilts up and sleep in a sitting position tonight. Boss and second brother, each of you will take one person to start a vigil. One will keep watch for half the night, and the other will keep watch for the rest of the night. Don't let the fire go out."
After giving the instructions, he said to the others that they could go to sleep.
Wang Yiyi was exhausted both physically and mentally. She lay down closest to the fire, covered with her own quilt, and took out the thickest quilt from her luggage and placed it on top before slowly falling asleep.
Even though there are many beds, the quilt is still not warm. There is always a cold wind coming in through a gap. Wang Yiyi sleeps very uneasily. There are the sounds of various animals outside, and the whole person is in a half-dream and half-awake state. .
Until dawn, the temperature did not rise or drop. The temperature was about minus 45 degrees, which may not be compared with the coldest places in the north, but no one lives in those places.
The weather is too cold, and even if everyone's clothes are frost-resistant, they cannot resist this magical attack. If the cold is a normal physical attack, it can be resisted as long as the defense blocks it.
But this time, the cold wave was so pervasive that the nose, which was originally a bit white, turned fiery red for just a moment, and even the eyelashes were covered with ice scum.
In this cold weather, there was no way. In order to keep himself warm, the old man could only ask everyone except the old lady and the grandson to come out and knock on the ice. Except for the inside of the cave, even the door is covered with ice.
Wang Yiyi very wisely chose to go in one direction, that is, the direction with the hot springs. , the closer to the hot spring, the less ice there is.
She first slid on the ice and walked to the hot spring, then picked up a ladle of water and poured it elsewhere. However, she underestimated the power of temperature. Almost everything except the hot spring was frozen. Wang Yiyi I didn’t give up, but chose to start from another aspect.
