Chapter 56 The Wooden House
"Why is this happening?" Li Damin was a little surprised.
I stood behind him and said, "This test should have begun. If we can't get out for 24 hours during the bardo time, we may be trapped here forever."
Li Damin looked in the direction where I was: "I am so sleepy. You and Chen Meiyu can be free to go in and out."
"Oh, Damin," I said, "You cried and shouted that you were going to come in, saying that you wanted to experience it with Chen Meiyu, but now you have regretted it?"
Li Damin smiled: "I have no other benefits, only one thing. I never regret doing things. I do whatever I want. I will talk about other things after finishing my work."
He knew that he couldn't get out of here, so he simply stopped looking for it and walked back leisurely.
I followed him. When I returned to Chen Mei, the sky was already filled with heavy snow, and a thick layer was falling on the ground, and even Chen Meiyu's shoulders were covered with snowflakes.
Chen Jian was awake, his eyes were dull, his whole body was shaking slightly, and he had not yet recovered his mind.
Chen Meiyu and Li Damin were talking and exhaling breath, which showed that the temperature was so low. I stood in the open space and raised my hand to touch the snowflakes, but I had no shape, so the snow fell quietly around me.
At this time, Chen Meiyu said: "You two search nearby to see if there are any clues."
This reminds me that in the difficult and test of the bardo realm, it is impossible that no prompt will force you to break through. There will definitely be code words, puzzles and mechanisms.
Li Damin and I briefly discussed it. He went to the forest to the east, and I went into the forest to the west, trying to find clues as carefully as possible.
We acted separately. I went to the woods to the west and walked straight in. No matter how thick the trees here are, they had no effect on me. However, I found a strange phenomenon. I could not travel through entities here. Although the trees could not interfere with me, I could not regard them as nothing, and could still block me.
The deeper I walked, the more trees there were around me. The towering ancient trees climbed and covered each other. The entangled plants covered the ground, making it harder to walk. After walking a long circle, I found nothing. I started walking back, looking at the dense bushes in front of me suddenly felt chill. I wouldn't be lost here.
At this moment, I found something under the roots of the tree not far away seemed to be buried in the deep snow, with a faint shape exposed. I walked over and squatted on the ground, trying to pounce the snow with my hands, but I couldn't touch anything and had no touch.
I had to remember the surrounding environment first, remember a few key signs, and then quickly walked forward and came out of the woods.
The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the snow on the ground is already deeper. At this speed, I may soon lose my knees. When I walked on the snow, I found that I had no footprints left, and I really had no traces of stepping on the snow. In this place, I was like a player who peeped at the game, with an indescribable sense of security.
When he returned to his original place, Li Damin also came back. He was a little depressed and was saying something to Chen Meiyu. Chen Meiyu's face was full of mourning, and she hugged her father and trembled all over.
I walked closer and said, "I found something, I wonder if it's useful?"
"Where?" Their eyes lit up at the same time.
I said, "I have no body here and cannot touch the snow on the ground, and that thing is buried in the snow."
Li Damin said, take me there.
The two of us entered the woods to the west. The snow was very heavy. Li Damin walked very hard and was trekking every step. Moreover, due to the snow falling in the woods, many landmarks were a little unrecognizable. I finally found that place and told Li Damin wherever I was.
He squatted on the ground, pounced on layers of snow with his hands, and something appeared below.
Li Damin took a breath, and I was stunned for a moment, not expecting such a thing to appear here.
It was a wooden sign with four words engraved on it, and it looked like plum blossoms and couldn't understand it.
What is this? I asked.
"It should be seal characters, and I don't understand them either. Take them back and show them to Meiyu." Li Damin clamped the wooden sign under his armpit. When we walked out of the forest, the snow outside was so heavy that there was almost no one on the other side, as if there was a thick layer of fog.
At this time, we saw someone moving in the snow fog. Li Damin and I hurried to see. It turned out that Chen Meiyu put her father flat on the snow, then dragged it hard, and drew a mark on the ground. Li Damin went over and hugged Chen Meiyu. The girl's face turned pale and her lips were not blood-colored.
"What are you doing?" Li Damin asked.
Chen Meiyu shook all over: "It's a dead end to stay where I am. I want to take my dad to come to you."
Li Damin knew that he could not delay time now, so he took out the wooden sign: "This is what we discovered, please take a look."
Chen Meiyu took a look and immediately said, "This is an ancient seal plum blossom style. My father has worked in antiques before. I have seen some things with him since I was a child, and I have copied this seal style and found it very beautiful."
"What is it written on it?" Li Damin asked quickly.
"Let's go east." Chen Meiyu said.
The two of them looked at each other. As soon as Li Damin leaned over, he carried Chen Jian on his back, and then shouted at me: "Let's go east together."
The three of us began to trek eastward. Li Damin had a difficult step. There was such a living person on his back, and every step was stepping into the deep snow. Chen Meiyu held his shoulder tightly and snuggled up to each other.
I looked behind and was anxious but not feeling bad. I couldn't help Li Damin. It was not feeling bad. It was obvious that the relationship between the two of them was getting closer and closer. This opportunity to overcome difficulties together was the easiest way for men and women to increase their relationship.
But I can't envy this thing. One person has his own fate. If I had lent the psychic bracelet to Li Damin, maybe I would have overcome the difficulties with Chen Meiyu now.
Chen Meiyu told Li Damin how many times she had told her father to drag her away on the snow. Li Damin shook her head and said directly, "This kind of disrespect to your father and disrespect to your father means disrespect to you, which I cannot allow."
Chen Meiyu's pale face immediately showed a little blush. Unexpectedly, Li Damin is still a master of flirting with girls.
We walked into the jungle on the east side and walked a long way around the woods. Li Damin sweated like slurry, his whole body was breathing white, and he was breathing heavily. Chen Meiyu asked him to rest, and Li Damin shook his head: "As soon as he rests, we will all be trapped here. I can still hold on and grit my teeth."
At this moment, there were few trees in front of me. Through the heavy snow, I could see lights not far away.
I shouted, "There is light, there is light."
They all cheered up. We walked out of the forest step by step and saw a hanging rock. A huge rock suddenly emerged from the hillside. Below the rock was a two-story wooden house. There was thick snow in front of the door, and the snow on the roof almost crushed the house. There were lights in the house on the first floor, but there were no figures. I wonder if there were anyone.
No matter what happens now, it’s good to have such a place to stay.
Besides, this is a level prompt, and you must enter here to break the level.
The three of us walked for a long time before we arrived in front of the house. Li Damin was almost exhausted and panting. Chen Meiyu pushed the door open, and there was heat coming out of her face. You could see that Li Damin and Chen Meiyu had a very enjoyable expression on their faces.
I had no touch, but at this time I envy them. I was struggling hard in the cold and heavy snow, and suddenly encountered such a warm house as spring, which was as enjoyable as if I had arrived in heaven.
We walked in, Li Damin put down Chen Jian, and Chen Meiyu closed the door heavily. I saw that the wooden house was very simple, with some tables and chairs, and no beds. There was an oil lamp on the table, which was burning slightly, but no one was there. The floor was made of wooden, and an area was dug out in the middle of the floor, with coal piles hanging on it, which seemed to be the place where the pot was buried to cook.
Li Damin and Chen Meiyu took off their shoes and carried Chen Jian to the middle of the floor. Li Damin sat on the ground and gasped, and his sweat never stopped.
Chen Meiyu searched the house for a while and brought things like oil lamps and fire hooks. She squatted on the ground and started to make a fire. The coals burned for a while, and the room should be even warmer. Li Damin and Chen Meiyu took off their coats and the fire lit up in the house, and no one spoke for a while.
The flames licked the soup pot above. Not long after, a buzzing sound came from inside, as if something had been boiled, and a strange fragrance drifted throughout the room. Even the scent that was invisible like me seemed to smell it, like the smell of meat, very greasy.
Li Damin said: "What does this taste like?"
As he finished speaking, Chen Jian, who was unconscious, suddenly got up and staggered to the pot. His eyes emitted a greedy look, and his throat moved, "Drink, good to drink!"
He walked to the fire and reached for the pot. At this time, a figure stood up and kicked the pot with one kick. The whole thing was overturned, and the soup inside spilled all over the floor.
It was Chen Meiyu who kicked the pot.
The girl was a little excited and shouted, "Dad, the things here cannot be eaten!"
