Abyss of ignorance

Chapter 38 Shelter
The weather in Linzhou is notoriously cloudy and cloudy. The torrential rain last night seemed to be unfinished. The morning after the heavy rain was not as clear as expected. It was gloomy and humid for several hours, and the rain was pattering. Down again.

The rain became more and more dense, and experienced rescuers began to lead others to retreat to the temporary camp when they set off.

Lin Xiaodong, who had gone deep into the jungle unknowingly, could only follow in Ye Mimi's footsteps.

The weather wasn't hot, but he was already drenched. It reminded him of the training in the police academy many years ago. He worked hard and focused. He thought he couldn't hold on, but he survived.There is not a trace of comfort in it, but I suddenly think of it, but I miss it inexplicably.

He just followed Ye Mimi forward, not knowing that the large army had already retreated.

Linzhou is located in the south of the Yangtze River. Most of the trees in the mountains are evergreen. Although it is early spring, they are still lush.

The rain in the woods has a lag. The fine rain is disturbed by the layers of leaves and gathers into water droplets of different sizes, which keep hitting them. The cold rain flows along the brim of the raincoat and flows from Lin Xiaodong's cheeks. It poured down to the neck and then to the chest and back, mixed with the warm sweat, and the hairs on the whole body stood up. If this continues, you must catch a cold.

When she was about to tell Ye Mimi to stop, she stopped herself and walked back towards Lin Xiaodong.

Seeing his embarrassed look, Ye Mimi smirked: "Team Lin, is Yamato Mountain easy to climb?"

"It's so cool!" Lin Xiaodong gritted his mouth.

Ye Mimi put away her smile, looked left and right, then walked to the middle of the two trees, pulled down a vine, neatly tied the two adjacent large branches together, and then walked to the side one Under the cedar tree, the branches and leaves were torn off, and spread on top of the bundled branches.

Before Lin Xiaodong could realize what she was doing, a simple shelter had been built.

She didn't even look up, but said to Lin Xiaodong who was still stuck in the rain: "Come here, if you don't come here, you will lose your temperature."

Just a simple shelter, but enough to keep out the rain.

Ye Mimi didn't ask Lin Xiaodong to help, and moved two stones over and put them under the shelter: "This rain will pass in an hour, so it's best not to get wet. It's very important to keep dry in the wild."

Lin Xiaodong brushed off the water droplets on the raincoat, took it off, and sat next to Ye Mimi.

Without the barrier of the raincoat, the mountain wind was blowing head-on, as if it could penetrate his body, which made him tremble suddenly.

Ye Mimi glanced at Lin Xiaodong: "If I were you, I would take off my close-fitting clothes and put them on outside, otherwise the wet clothes will stick to your skin, and you will get sick from the cold soon."

From school to work, Lin Xiaodong was surrounded by male classmates and colleagues. In normal times, changing clothes would have nothing to do with it.

But at this moment, in the barren mountains and wild mountains, there are only him and Ye Mimi, a lonely man and a widow, and he is ashamed to change into close-fitting clothes at the age of 30.

Of course, this embarrassing state cannot escape Ye Mimi's eyes. She folded a small dead branch and said, "You change it, I don't know how to look at it. In my eyes, you are just a pair of flesh and blood."

Being pierced by her like this, Lin Xiaodong's face turned red, and he turned his back on self-deception, hurriedly changed his clothes, haste made waste, the wet clothes stuck to his skin, he struggled for a long time to take off down.

According to what Ye Mimi said, he put on the clothes that were relatively dry on the outside, and he really felt much more comfortable. When he turned around, he felt a surge of warmth. With this little effort, Ye Mimi had already used those A small dead branch started a fire, and a few large branches that were not soaked were placed a little, and a small bonfire was ignited.

Everything, in Ye Mimi's place, seems so simple.

Only Lin Xiaodong, who has had field training, knows the proficiency of this series of operations, how terrifying it is, and he can get the first-class level in any special forces battalion.

"I didn't expect there to be spruce trees in Linzhou." Ye Mimi said, holding a small branch covered with creamy green needles.

Lin Xiaodong looked up and saw that this was the kind of branch that Ye Mimi had just folded off to cover his head from the rain: "Oh, this is a spruce."

"Well, there are many in the valley. That place is much colder than Linzhou, and spruce grows more in cold places. This kind of tree is very useful for building shelters." Ye Mimi said.

That place, Lin Xiaodong can understand now, is the place where Ye Mimi once lost.At this time, the rain was still falling, and there was no sign of it stopping yet, but in this shelter that Ye Mimi quickly set up, it was dry and warm, driving away the chill in Lin Xiaodong's body.

He stared at the bubbling bonfire, not without worries: "My physique is okay to be placed in the crowd, but I have just been exposed to the rain, and I already feel uncomfortable. You said...that Qian Yingjie, in this mountain If so, will he find a shelter? He should not have your experience..."

"Experience is gained through trial and error. I'm just lucky to have the opportunity to try again." Ye Mimi said calmly.

"How many times have you learned this from the rain?" Lin Xiaodong couldn't help asking.

"One time is enough." Ye Mimi looked at him sideways, his eyes were as clear as clear water, but this clear water came from a deep pool, clear but never bottomed out, "On that night of heavy rain, I lay on a bed of dead leaves mixed with mud. On the ground, I thought I would never see the sunrise again. But I knew I couldn’t die, I wanted to survive, even if I was struggling like a trapped animal in the storm forever, I still had to survive, and there was only one thought to keep me awake. I don't know how long it has passed, but in a trance, I vaguely heard the call of a bird, which is the most pleasant sound I have ever heard. In the mist, I saw a few strands of golden light shine in through the spruce branches , I couldn't describe what kind of scene it was. I just felt as if I knew something, but I didn't know what I knew. Later, I escaped, went to school, read books, and finally found a way to describe it. when the sentence."

She said, looking forward, as if she could see the horizon and coastline through the dense forest, and then recited solemnly, "Because nature is emotionless: the sun shines, neither good nor evil, the moon and the stars, to the good Shine like a villain."

"Who said that?"

"Goethe." Ye Mimi said, the bonfire swayed slightly in the wind and caught her eyes, the wind and rain gradually subsided, the two of them stopped talking, only heard the rain splashing lightly, and the rustling of the mountains and forests, as if In response to what she just said.
