Chapter 3: My Brother
[Full text reading.]
After Qin Juexiang took over Xiao Changshou, he watched the eldest sister disappear into the snow, and then turned around with Tang Gen and went back to the back room to roast the fire
Sitting on the edge of the kang You can feel it in the corner of your eyes Tang Gen's small thin eyes stared at him intently Qin Juexiang smiled and said: "How do you want to hug " Tang Gen shook his head and said: "You see this baby is blushing It is probably cold Rest it on the side of the brazier Let him roast it Qin Juexiang squinted at him and smiled: "Is it I think he is so tightly tied It's a bit like it's uncomfortable hot " Tang Gen said: "Brother is right, I have a reasonable saying As the saying goes: 'If you want a child to be safe and hungry and cold' It's not good to wrap it so tightly It's better to take him off and blow the wind in the courtyard." It's so hard and solid."
Qin Juexiang said: "It's hard and big, I'm afraid it's not very good" Tang Gen scratched his double chin sullenly and said: "Serving the child, we really don't have any experience Hey, I have sugar here, you feed him two grains" Qin Juexiang said: "What kind of sugar do nursing children eat, choking and stuck, it's not very good" Tang Gen smiled: "How can it be My sugar melts in my mouth and there is not even a little sugar residue left" Qin Juexiang said: "Just don't have anything left, you forgot who my sister learned to boil sugar from when she was a child" Tang Gen smiled: "How many years ago was that Tang Sect can still be like that." The corners of Qin Juexiang's mouth hooked: "Okay, I don't care" handed the child into his arms: "I'll go and see how the eldest sister is doing, you tease him first."
black
This was the only color Qin Ziyin could see when he woke up
It's pure, it's oppressive, it's cold, it's so black that it's hard to believe you're in the snow
For a little while, she even felt like she was blind
The blood all over his body flowed to the top of his head, his face was swollen and painful, his body was sleeched tightly, and he couldn't move
"Xianggong Xianggong ......"
She was facing Chang Sihao's chest, so she could still make a sound, Chang Sihao didn't answer, but she could still feel his heartbeat
The avalanche is powerful enough to tear down a century-old tree, and even a stone castle can be razed to the ground, and that's the power of nature in which human beings live as small as a fallen leaf
At that moment of crisis, it was the husband who held himself in his arms and resisted all the coldness and collision
It was likely that the snow and ice had choked on his lungs, or that he had hit his head on something, and it was going to suffocate him
"Xianggong"
Qin Ziyin began to bang his head around, and gradually knocked out a little space, and he could catch his breath a little, and then desperately chrysalis his body and put his head "up".
After Chang Sihao's jaw was hit by her a few times, there was also space around his head, and under Qin Zi's uncontrollable call, he squirted some water from his nostrils and woke up
In the darkness, Qin Ziyin felt as if he was trying to move his body, but gravity and snow crushed him to death
Chang Sihao's right arm holding the sword was still leaning downward, and there was a feeling of standing upside down in the void with a sword, and it was as if he had been hung upside down and planted in a dirt pit and buried alive He weakly summoned Qin Ziyin: "...... I'm in the waist...... Wakicha ......"
Qin Ziyin agreed, tried to shrink his hand from the narrow space, felt the handle of the wakicha, carefully pulled it out to avoid cutting her husband, and then began to dig horizontally, shouting "Xianggong" while digging, so that he could keep answering
At first, it was just little by little, and gradually, the space for her arms to move increased, and she dug out a round hole like a Buddha cave, her hips sank, and her body slid down, and she curled up in the round hole, and the chrysalis became her head and feet, although it was only a narrow place, but it was enough to return to the sitting position, and it was gratifying enough, Chang Sihao's answer became later and later, and it became weaker and weaker, and she desperately increased her speed, continued to dig above her head, and dug out enough space to assist Chang Sihao to put down her feet, straddle her legs, and then grabbed his waist, shook it left and right, and shook it more than a dozen times, and her waist was straightened, and she pulled it up, like pulling a radish Pull his upper body out of the snow
Qin Ziyin knew that he couldn't feel the time at all when he was digging Chang Sihao's kung fu in the ice and snow was not small She put the wedge aside and reached out in the dark to touch it softly: "Xianggong Xianggong, how do you feel " After a while, a "I'm fine" came from the depths of his body The voice was faint, as if he was absent-minded
Qin Ziyin's face leaned against his back, and it felt like he was leaning on a piece of ice, and he touched it down his shoulder, and he touched another piece of ice under his sleeve, realizing that it was his hand, as if it was frozen on the sword, and at the same time, the cold was constantly invading herself, and she knew that she couldn't stop, so she hurriedly pulled up the wedge and dug the space on the right side of her body
"Click, click, click" The ice and snow are as sharp as the waki, and it feels like they are in a confrontation "Xiang Gong, Xiang Gong" Qin Ziyin shouted as he planed, and the back of his hand hurt like a knife cut, but what was even more painful was that there was no longer Chang Sihao's answer
In such a place, the temperature is low, the air is thin, and losing consciousness will be fatal, she picks up the snow that has been shaved, and tries to lay Chang Sihao on his back, and uses her hand to probe her breath, but her hand is almost unconscious, and she hurriedly puts her face sideways, and a faint sound of wind blows in her ear, which makes her a glimmer of hope, she inhales a breath, holds it in her lungs, warms it, and then crosses into Chang Sihao's mouth, and crosses more than 20 mouthfuls in a row, and it doesn't seem to have much effect, she puts her face against his face, and feels that he is gradually getting cold, and this feeling is desperate
Chang Sihao thought he was blinking his eyes, but he couldn't see anything, and he had a feeling as if he was floating somewhere, and it wasn't cold at all, on the contrary, he felt dry and hot
It's lit up, it's lit up
He ran forward
A patch of yellow sand spreads out in front of me
Ah, isn't this our city, the soldiers and civilians are cooking meat in cauldrons, eating, laughing
"Baby, what are you doing?" Xu Laojun stood at the front of the crowd and looked at himself
"Baby, you coaxed you" Xu Laojun came up and slapped himself
Everyone suddenly laughed, revealing rows of jagged teeth
"We're all here, why don't you come?"
They beckoned to themselves
Why should I go? Am I dead?
In front of me, a young girl appeared, with a big head and big eyes because of her thinness
Florets are small flowers......
She walked up lightly, smiling and holding out her little hand
Brother, brother has gone too far, wait for the little flower......
I'm sorry, let's hold my brother's hand
Well...... Brother: Let's die together
What and why
My brother accompanied Xiaohua to find her mother, isn't it?
Fool, we need to live well
Is it why?
Because...... Because we're living...... People should live as long as they live, right?
But I'm so hungry alive, brother, I'm so hungry......
Xiaohua, don't cry, don't cry, brother, I'm going to find you something to eat, ah, look, meat buns, take a bite, take a bite, it's so juicy, it's so fragrant......
Chang Sihao swallowed a mouthful of soup and suddenly felt icy all over
He tried to keep his eyes open, and it was dark all around him, and he could only hear a slight rapid breath
Is it a snow cave Is you still in a snow cave?
But there are still meat buns in his mouth......
He tried to take a bite, and someone in the darkness said "ah", but there was joy in his voice: "Xianggong, are you awake...... Don't bite, eat fast, keep eating."
Chang Sihao felt that his head was being held by her, and the side of his face was warm
Goodo, Goodo...... Mom Mom ......
Tears flowed from the corners of his eyes
Qin Jue came out and walked up the mountain road After a few steps, he heard a long hiss in the valley Followed by a moment of vibration under his feet There was a cold and powerful air flow rushing down He hurriedly retreated to observe Only to see that under the impact of the air current, the misty frost and mist opened The top of Siguniang Mountain was clearly visible under the moonlight It turned out that the part of the southern slope covered by the ice cap had actually revealed the edges and corners of the Hesse Forest White smoke was thick and tumbling Obviously the ice and snow peeled off and fell down It looked like it was shooting up from the bottom Like a mist fountain that was constantly decreasing in height
His position is equivalent to the slightly upper part of the shoulder of the "Four Girls", and after the avalanche comes down, it is a landslide from the middle down and to the west, and it looks like the Four Girls are combing their gray hair with their heads slightly tilted, so he can see everything clearly, and his heart is shocked, but there is no danger
Tang Gen was holding a pill and was about to feed the child When he heard the sound outside, he was slightly stunned and hurriedly came out to watch Seeing Qin Juexiang standing still in the face of the snow, he hurriedly shouted: "What's the matter" Qin Juexiang said: "The avalanche " Tang Gen chased after him, and followed the sound of the waves, and saw a white wave sinking under the snow and smoke It was moving downward along the mountain The strength continued to increase The speed continued to climb Countless pines and ancient cypresses were uprooted like small grass, and rolled away with ice blocks and boulders DC Valley
Tang Gen hugged his shoulders and said: "This is an avalanche At best, it is a small landslide Unfortunately, it is not spring Now is not spring The inside of the snow cap melts in the spring and collapses on all sides It is ......spectacular to look at" Suddenly the little eyes straightened and said: "Finish the old Our little people are all old The tent is set up at the bottom of the valley over there "When he stomped his feet, he suddenly felt happy in his heart: "Xiao Jinyue will they go down the mountain, will they ......" He looked back and was disappointed secretly The mountain road winds far to the east I am afraid that they are on the road now It may not be to the bottom of the valley
Qin Juexiang said, "You stay here, I'll go find the eldest sister," he said and hurried up the mountain road
"No one can survive in an avalanche, what else do you want to see" Tang Gen finished shouting, and when he saw Qin Juexiang ignoring it, he showed an expression of "don't listen" Back to the temple Looking at Xiao Changshou on the kang Hehe smiled and picked up the child with the swaddling rope and walked out Turn to the back of the temple There is a thin mountain road He went up the mountain road and walked out of a section of the road Turning over a mountain crack to a corner of the cliff Looking at the vast mountain snow under the cliff Lush barren forest He leaned back and threw his arm in a javelin throwing posture Swaddling the floor behind him "Little Wang Eight Lambs" He raised his front feet high and said in his mouth: "Let's go," he jerked forward with a sharp squeeze around his waist
The swaddling clothes burst out of the air and went straight into the night
Chang Sihao felt that his consciousness became clearer, and his face was pressed against Qin Ziyin's side, but it became cold
"Yin'er, Yin'er"
"Well......" Qin Ziyin responded in a daze Chang Sihao felt that his fingers could move and hurriedly covered his arms for her, shook her and said: "Wake up, I can't sleep, we can escape from here, we must be able to" In the dark, Qin Ziyin hummed and agreed Chang Sihao said loudly: "Mom, Mom" The words entered his ears Qin Ziyin was suddenly startled and said: "Shou'er, Shou'er ......" also regained consciousness
The two men encouraged each other, patted and rubbed each other's bodies, pulled some cloths to wrap their hands, cheered up, and began to dig up the snow, the cold caused their heat to lose quickly, their physical strength dropped to the extreme, and their movements were stiff and weak, and the snow, which usually seemed to be piled up and played with at will, somehow seemed to have the thickness of an iron wall
The snow was dug up piece after piece, and it seemed to be endless Chang Sihao knew that it would be too much of a waste of physical strength to dig side by side It only takes a person's big hole to escape, and now I don't know how thick this snow is We must be prepared for a long-term struggle He asked Qin Ziyin to retreat behind him Two people alternately dug In order to avoid the resting person falling into a coma and also to reduce the loss of energy, the person in front of him should hum a "um" in a nasal voice every other time The person behind should respond with a "um" If there is no answer, immediately turn around and come back to rescue
I don't know how long it took for the sound of "Kezhu" The light penetrated Chang Sihao was very excited: "Yin'er, let's dig it through" He struggled to dig out a hole after a while, climbed up, turned around, and stretched out his hand to pull Qin Ziyin out
The two of them sat on the snow and gasped for breath, looking at the snow valley where the trees were crooked like hell in disguise They all felt like a world away Suddenly, I heard someone shouting from the high place behind me: "Big brother, big sister" Looking back, there was no one But on the mountain road that was cut off by ice and snow From time to time, ice and snow flew down Chang Sihao shouted: "Absolutely loud, we are here"
Qin Juexiang was digging in the snowdrift along the road, and had already dug a hole, and in a trance, he heard that someone outside was busy withdrawing from the hole and searching down, and saw Chang Sihao and his eldest sister sitting on a snow-colored and silver slope, and shouted with joy: "You are all right" and hurriedly ran down
Chang Sihao said: "When the snow fell, I suddenly thought of a way to drill into the belly of a camel to avoid the wind and sand Dig a hole I don't want to really dodge it Fortunately, our position is high The impact is not strong enough The amount of snow is also small Otherwise, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape " Qin Juexiang said: "In winter, the snow is frozen under the snow If it is spring, this place will also be shaken off I'm afraid that I will find you in the valley" Qin Ziyin suddenly asked: "You came out, what about the child" Qin Juexiang was stunned for a moment: "Oh, it's handed over to Tang Gen" Chang Sihao looked sideways: "Big brother is still in the snow" started to search Suddenly pulled by Qin Ziyin
Under this pull, Chang Sihao's head rushed out like a bucket and tears rushed to the bottom of his eyes Qin Ziyin shook his head miserably: "It's useless...... You know "Chang Sihao also understood that Chen Shengyi had no physiology, but he didn't want to accept it He stiffened and looked back at the back of his wife's hand wrapped in strips of cloth On it, the blood had turned into ice Like a red gem, crystal clear Qin Ziyin trembled slightly, his body was wet and icy At this moment, he was just beating his spirit, and it was not completely out of danger He nodded and said: "That's what you said, let's go away You are very weak, let's hurry back to the temple to roast the fire" Qin Juexiang asked Ming that the fourth aunt had died before the avalanche Although she was sad, she had no idea of digging again, and even felt that before she set off It seems that he didn't want to come back It seems that at that time, he had already said goodbye to himself The three of them returned to the temple I saw Tang Gen lying on the kang with his back and eight forks Qin Ziyin couldn't see the child and hurriedly shook him awake and asked, "Where is Shou'er?"
Tang Gen slept peacefully and was suddenly woken up and was startled when he saw Qin Ziyin Hearing her ask the child he was stunned and didn't know how to answer
Qin Juexiang hurriedly said: "Who knocked you unconscious?"
