Chapter 245 - Temporary Asylum
The simple ski car now only relies on Staff Li's strength to prevent it from falling too.
"Brother Deng!" Xuan Yi and Tian Xin, who realized something was wrong, rushed over to check, but when they approached, they were shouted back by Staff Officer Li.
"Don't get close. There may be weak spots around here. If you accidentally fall, no one will be able to rescue you."
The two people stopped quickly, and Wen Na also got off Xuan Yi's back and asked with concern, "How should we rescue him now?"
"Don't worry, there will always be a way." Xuan Yi comforted Wen Na while slowly groping step by step to the collapsed place. At this time, due to the smooth snow, the simple ski car had been slowly pulled over.
on this gap.
Xiao Deng held the rope firmly in his hands. After feeling firm, he calmed down and lowered his head to look at the ground. However, the situation inside made Xiao Deng's jaw drop. He almost missed the rope in his hand.
.
It turned out that Staff Officer Li and the others were walking on a wooden house. The roof materials had gone through vicissitudes of life, and under the pressure of the snow, Xiao Deng stepped on a weak point, and the roof collapsed. And this house seemed to have a large area
It's not small, with simple furniture and items on the floor, and there's even a loft on the top. But at this moment, Xiao Deng is hanging above the hall, with a table facing his feet.
"I'm fine, there's something down here." After saying that, Xiao Deng described to everyone what he saw below.
"If you fall from this height, I'm afraid you will be seriously injured. Why don't we go find the door of this house, go in and find a way to meet Brother Deng." Tianxin also cautiously came over, and after seeing the height of the roof, he said silently
He shrank back, fearing that part of the roof would collapse again.
"That's fine. If we keep pulling hard on it, I'm afraid the roof will not be able to support our strength in the end. If we all fall down, we will die before we can get out of the way." Xuan Yi also agreed.
, so the three of them walked slowly down the stairs, hoping to find the buried door of the house.
Tian Xin, who was walking at the front, was very cautious every step he took, for fear that the roof would collapse as soon as he stepped down. Xuan Yi, on the other hand, protected Wen Na behind him, feeling the mottled snow on his feet, and walked boldly step by step.
Go forward.
Suddenly, Xuan Yi stopped in front of a pile of snow that looked like a staircase. At the same time, he shouted to Tian Xin, "Stop quickly. The eaves of this house are in front of you. If you take another step forward, there should be snow below."
Tianxin was also frightened by the sudden sound, but he agreed with Tianxin from the bottom of his heart, so he stopped and stretched out his hand to try. As expected, he could not touch the hard roof under the snow, and there was still snow further down.
"This should be the eaves of this house. If we go further down, we can find the door and go in." Tianxin said and groped along both sides of the eaves. Sure enough, he was asked to find a beam supporting the eaves. "Hey,
Just look at mine."
As he spoke, Tianxin grasped the beam under the eaves and slowly leaned forward. After twisting his body strangely for a few times, his legs finally climbed onto a pillar.
"Get down!" Tian Xin made a face to Xuan Yi above his head, and then his body slowly submerged into the snow.
"Be careful!" Xuan Yi is also worried about Tian Xin's safety. He knows that Tian Xin has always been active and curious and wants to try anything, but right now, his life may be in danger.
Xuanyi's voice became hazy when it reached Tianxin's ears, because he had already gone deep into the snow. When he climbed down, the snow above his head immediately collapsed and covered him. Along the way,
After the pillar slowly slid to the ground, he couldn't help but stamp on the ground for the long-lost sense of solidity, and then relied on his previous sense of direction to find the door of the wooden house.
After blindly groping around, Tianxin seemed to be confused and couldn't find the direction at all. But at this moment, he suddenly encountered a step under his feet. The hairs on Tianxin's back immediately stood up. He stumbled and moved towards it with both hands.
Pushing forward, there was only a click, and two shabby doors were pushed open. Tianxin could not stabilize his body and fell into the house with his face on the ground.
"Priest Tianxin Xiaodao has come in!!" Xiao Deng was hanging alone on the room, with deep marks on the rope on his hand, and he finally looked forward to his savior.
Staff Officer Li on the roof also breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked Tianxin to find a way to catch Xiao Deng first.
"Taoist priest, hurry up and look for anything that can take me down."
Tianxin got up from the ground and cleaned the snowflakes on his body first. Because the door was opened, a lot of snow had already rushed to the door. This house must have been unoccupied for a long time, but the previous owner of the house was more tidy, and in this weather
There are no snakes, rats, insects or ants, so apart from being a little dark, you can even live in it directly.
With the light coming from the hole in the roof, Tianxin looked around the house for something that could help Xiao Deng to buffer, but after searching for a long time, there was no ladder. Finally, he found a thick rope in the corner. Tianxin was also extremely smart.
The man immediately thought of a way. He fixed a section to a pillar inside the support, then found a piece of wood and tied it to the other end of the rope, and then threw it high up around the beam of the house, so that
I have made a simple swing, and all I have to do now is to throw the other end of the swing to Xiao Deng.
"Brother Deng, you caught it!" Tianxin threw the wood connected to the rope high with all his strength, hoping that Xiao Deng would catch the rope and catch the swing's buffer and land safely. After throwing it several times, one end of the wood finally reached it.
Xiao Deng's hand, rather than hitting Xiao Deng's body.
Xiao Deng tightened the rope, and then used the stable beam as a buffer like Tianxin said on a swing. After swinging back and forth several times to stabilize his body, he landed safely and steadily.
"Taoist Master Tianxin is such a genius!" Xiao Deng excitedly grabbed Tianxin's shoulders and shook them vigorously. The two of them looked as happy as if they were the same age.
The snow at the door was pushed in. It turned out that the road Xuan Yi and Wen Na took down from Tianxin also came down smoothly. Now only Staff Officer Li is still on it.
After Xuan Yi entered the door, he began to carefully look at this house that was a little out of place with the outside world. The light dust on the table showed that the owner of the house had not been away for a long time, and the neat kitchen next to it also showed that this place should not be used as a temporary residence.
Where did the owner of the house go?
The bearded man sat down on the roof to rest for a while. After he regained his breath, he discovered that Xiao Deng was staring at him at the edge of the eaves where the few people had gone down before.
"You're going to scare me to death! I thought I encountered a snow monster." Seeing that Xiao Deng's head and shoulders were covered with snowflakes that had accumulated when he climbed up, and only his two eyes were exposed, he immediately turned to Staff Li.
Startled.
"Commander Li, please come down and take a rest. We finally found a place where you are not freezing. You are tired too. Let's take a rest." Xiao Deng shook the white snow on his head, climbed up to the roof, and dismantled the simple skis.
After opening it, the luggage package was tied with a rope and slowly placed on the ground, and then the two of them climbed down along the pillar.
"I didn't expect that there would be people building houses to live in this inhospitable place." Staff Officer Li walked into the house and found that all daily necessities were available, and a few people could even have a meal here before going on their way.
"This room is still too cold, and there are no measures to keep it warm. If you want to live here, I'm afraid you have to light a fire all the time." Wen Na looked at the big hole above her head, and a cold wind blew in from time to time, blowing away the dust in the room.
It blew everyone's eyes away.
"We have been trekking for most of the day, so we just rest here so that we can regain our strength before setting off on the road." Staff Officer Li said, opening the duffel bag filled with food, taking out your instant food and water and passing them to everyone.
"It would be nice if there was a fire to warm me up." Tianxin ate military ration biscuits and drank cold water. Her feet were probably already blue and blue from the cold as she walked all the way.
"We should still have gasoline in our equipment. Why don't we light a fire here to relieve the cold?" Xiao Deng said vaguely with his mouth full of food.
"I just saw that there is firewood in the kitchen of this room. We can make a fire now!" Tianxin also discovered that this is a really good place. It not only blocks the wind and snow, but also keeps warm. After saying that, he walked into the kitchen.
Then he brought out a bundle of firewood.
"Just in time, I'll take out the gasoline." Xiao Deng opened another package, which contained some tools and supplies that may be used. Two of the small jars contained gasoline.
After building a shelf with firewood, Xiao Deng carefully poured gasoline on it, then took out a military lighter and ignited the pile of firewood. With the help of the fuel, the firewood made a crackling sound, and soon the gas exploded.
Even the occasional cold wind that entered the room did not lower its temperature at all.
People gathered around the firewood pile from a distance and could feel the heat wave. At the same time, the heat wave also caused the airflow in the room to make a whirring sound, and the room seemed to be lively.
After everyone had a good meal, they rested around the remaining firewood pile. Due to the residual warmth of the firewood and the lack of food, Wen Na, Tianxin and Xiao Deng all leaned aside and began to take a nap, leaving only Xuan Yi and Yanzi Zi.
Staff Officer Li.
Suddenly, Xuan Yi suddenly turned around and looked at a corner of the room. The sudden movement woke Tian Xin up, but he found nothing unusual.
"Senior brother, what are you doing, so startled?" Tianxin was awakened from her sweet dream, and she no longer felt sleepy at this time.
"I feel like there are a pair of eyes staring at us in the dark." Xuan Yi said, crossing his legs and starting to meditate, using his spiritual body to feel the flow of energy nearby. Except for the smoky ashes in front of him, the five people who were already present were
