Chapter 502 New Year’s Misfortune (11)(2/3)
"We're afraid we won't be able to get out tomorrow, and we won't have food."
"Not afraid."
"Why?"
"I probably think that if everyone can die together, there will be nothing to worry about or commemorate."
"No regrets?"
"It's a pity that the good days will come to an end in a few days."
Liuli seems to have the same idea...
...
"Sister-chan, why haven't you come back yet? And I didn't see any fire at the entrance of the tent."
Raku Sakakihara stood up and looked outside the tent that was pulled up. Hearing the howling wind and snow outside, he subconsciously felt something was wrong, "I'll go out and take a look."
"Lejun, clothes."
"good."
After getting dressed neatly and getting up, Raku Sakakibara quickly went to the tent door and unzipped the tent.
The cold air outside suddenly hit his face, and the wind and snow hit his face coldly at the same time, making him subconsciously half-close his eyes.
"A Ling!"
Raku Sakakibara stepped out of the tent and saw only darkness in the forest.
Looking sideways, I saw that the snow accumulated at the entrance of the tent was more than half a meter high, and the entire hexagonal tent seemed to be embedded dozens of centimeters into the ground.
Sakakibara looked at the fire that was lit more than an hour ago...it had long been buried in thick snow.
But...where did A Ling go?
Sakakihara Raku began to look around.
"A Ling!"
...
"A Ling!"
...
"Aling!"
...
"Ah - so you are here."
Raku Sakakibara walked around to the back of the tent, and then he saw Suzu Sakakibara trying to make a fire with a lighter under a tree not far away.
Sakakibara walked over and stood behind her and looked at her for a while.
She tried very hard with the lighter in her hand, but there was no tinder, let alone a fire. In this weather, the lighter had to be extinguished as soon as it was lit.
"You won't be able to fight if you do this."
"..."
After trying it for a while, Sakakihara Suzu seemed to give up and sighed.
"Aren't you cold when you stay outside?" Sakakihara came to her side, curled up his hands, and squatted in the same place as her.
"...it's cold even if you stay inside..."
Sakakibara thought she was frightened by everyone's words. Everyone said they were going to die...
"I was just joking. Don't worry about that. We can go out tomorrow. As we said in July, such heavy snow will not last long."
"...Trying to lie to me again. I heard it outside. It's snowing so much tonight that I won't be able to walk out tomorrow..."
"Afraid?"
"...What if?" Suzu Sakakihara continued to try to light a fire.
...
"Give me the lighter."
"what?"
"Help you light the fire."
Raku Sakakibara had no good way to comfort his sister at the moment. Seeing that she insisted on making a fire, he went back to the tent and brought over an extra portion of dry firewood that he had prepared for the night.
Hold the lighter with one hand and use toilet paper and some dry pine leaves as tinder.
After the fire started to smoke, Sakakihara picked up the tinder ball, touched it in the palm of his hand and blew it on fire.
The flames and black smoke grew bigger and bigger. After Sakakihara was happy to see the fire coming out completely, he placed it on the ground that had been pushed aside in advance, then stacked some small branches on top, and finally placed some larger branches.
"A-Ling, squat over there."
"oh."
In order to prevent the wind and snow from extinguishing the flames, both of them tried their best to block the cold night wind with their bodies.
Under the control of Sakakihara Raku, a swaying bonfire with warm colors soon appeared.
Sakakihara Suzu stretched out her hand, spitting white mist from her mouth, and her face in the darkness was immediately illuminated by the firelight.
"Brother...that's awesome."
"It should be said, A-Ling, that you have forgotten everything that happened before."
"...What did I forget?"
"Didn't we often go to the mountains behind our hometown to play when we were young?" Raku Sakakihara also extended his hand towards the bonfire, "I built you a secret base made of banana leaves and branches, did you forget?"
"that..."
"A-Ling, didn't you always like to run there and play in the past? Especially on rainy days, you would like to hide there and watch the rain...sometimes you would even pull me over and ask me to help you light a fire. If there was anything else in the fake home,
You always want me to roast the fish you just caught and eat it. That’s when you asked me to teach you how to make a fire."
Sakakihara Suzu rotated her palms on the flames, "...Brother, you forgot everything when you were a child, why didn't you forget just these?"
Sakakihara Raku also stared at the dancing flames of the bonfire, "I am a girl, how could I forget these things."
"Ha! Brother, you finally admitted it!"
"Didn't I admit it a long time ago?"
"Humph, I told you before, but you still don't want to admit it!"
"That was in front of outsiders, how could I have the nerve to say that."
Probably because he said something that A Ling liked to hear, her mood improved a lot, but it couldn't be said to be very good.
The temperature of the campfire can only drive away a little bit of the cold...
"...What if we really die here?"
"Don't worry, your brother will die before you die."
"You say silly things every day! Tell me! Are you trying to comfort me on purpose?"
"otherwise?"
"Why come here to comfort me..."
"I saw you were scared, it's that simple."
...
"elder brother..."
"Well, I'm here, I'm here."
"Are you cold?"
"cold."
"Then how about you come closer to me?"
"OK."
Snow continues to fall.
In a daze, the campfire became much smaller due to lack of firewood supply.
Probably because the heat and light faded, Sakakihara Suzu became nervous.
"I... suddenly want to pee..."
Sakakihara Raku was stunned for a moment, then with the faint light of the fire, he saw the blush on A Suzu's face in the darkness, "Let's go."
"I am afraid..."
"Weren't you quite bold in haunted houses before?"
To be continued...
