Upon hearing this, Monk Zhen couldn't help but say in a low voice, "Do they really f * cking think they're princes and princesses? Helicopters, dogs … It's good enough that someone came."
However, his voice was very soft and was drowned out by the howling of the wind.
After some discussion, everyone basically settled on one matter. He Haijiang, Cheng Mujie, and Yao Zhen refused to leave the tent.
What the monk meant was that they couldn't just sit and wait for death. At the very least, they had to start a fire. However, when he saw He Haijiang and the others, he became angry again and directly said that he wanted to go to Heaven Pillar Peak to see what was going on.
Xunzi shared the same thoughts. Furthermore, he also realized that everyone's hearts were already scattered. Gathering together would only result in endless arguments. Furthermore, it wouldn't resolve any problems. He might as well take this opportunity to gamble. If he could meet Panzi and the others, then he could find someone to rescue He Haijiang and the others. Glasses naturally followed. Wei Yaqin didn't trust He Haijiang and company's abilities at all, so she planned on following Xunzi and Monk.
When He Haijiang saw that the people who knew how to survive in the wilderness were about to leave, he turned a little anxious. However, Cheng Mujie had attempted to leave the tent a few times, only to shrink back due to the cold. She refused to leave. He Haijiang could only give up and follow. When Yao Zhen saw the two of them, she thought to herself, "If they aren't afraid, why should I be?"
Before Xun Zi and company left, he left them some things to start a fire. He also exhorted them not to leave the tent and to wait for their return.
Thus, the original team of seven people finally dispersed.
In the sky, Fangzheng shook his head slightly when he saw this scene. These people still lacked the experience of living in the mountains. This was not a small hill outside, nor was it a tourist attraction. This was a deep mountain forest! Walking in this place, one had to be wary of not only heavy snow, huge pits, and cliffs, but also wild beasts!
"Jingxin, see if the helicopter has arrived."
Jingxin nodded and narrowed his eyes as he looked into the distance. His eyes were divine. Although they weren't as good as the All-Seeing Eye and Clairaudient, which allowed him to see millions of kilometers, it wasn't a problem for him to see dozens of kilometers. Soon, Jingxin shook his head. "Master, I don't see any helicopters."
Fangzheng was taken aback. He didn't see a helicopter? Where did the helicopter go?
At that moment, Wang Yougui called. Fangzheng immediately picked it up. To others, there was no signal, but to Fangzheng's phone, which had been consecrated and could no longer be considered a cell phone, but a Dharma artifact. There was no problem with no signal.
"Amitabha. Patron Wang, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing. It's so cold in the mountains. I just got home and climbed onto the kang bed to warm myself up with some wine. I called you to chat … "When Wang Yougui spoke, he was still yawning. Obviously, he was still feeling cold. Thinking about it, it made sense. He had been running in the mountains for the whole afternoon, so he was probably freezing.
Even a villager who went into the mountains all year round was like this. What about the pampered children under his feet? Fangzheng looked down and heard the faint sounds of wind blowing coming from the tent. Just a few sentences made the tent tremble. Clearly, it was freezing. However, Fangzheng had no intention of going down to help. Instead, he sat there calmly and began chatting with Wang Yougui.
Indeed, without needing Fangzheng to ask, Wang Yougui said after a few sentences, "I thought we would be able to find those bastards soon after the helicopter came. But the sky turned dark, and a white wind blew. The strong winds blew snow, and visibility was less than twenty meters. The helicopter couldn't see anything from the sky, and it was rocking from the wind. All we could do was retreat. "
"There are still people in the mountains?" asked Fangzheng.
Wang Yougui said, "All of us villagers who entered the mountains voluntarily have retreated. It's too cold in the mountains, and people have frozen to death before. No one is willing to risk their lives for a few people. On the other hand, the national search and rescue team is still inside. They are also cursing non-stop, but these guys are really men. Although they are cursing, the search and rescue team has never stopped … Sigh, I heard them say that the national search and rescue teams save people like this every year, and many lives are lost. Tell me, what the hell are these people? They can lead a good life, but they insist on courting death! If they are courting death, they are courting death. Why are they dragging others with them? "
Wang Yougui grumbled for a while before hanging up when it was mealtime.
Fangzheng put away his cell phone and thought of what Wang Yougui had said. He felt mixed emotions. Perhaps these people were only seeking a momentary thrill, but what was the outcome? Thinking of the search and rescue personnel who had sacrificed themselves to save others, Fangzheng felt a stabbing pain in his heart! His original intention of helping these people faded away.
Squirrel looked down from the clouds and asked, "Master, aren't we going to help? It feels like they are about to freeze to death. "
Fangzheng shook his head and said, "There's no rush. Since they like to seek thrills, let's give them a good thrill."
In the mountains, as the night deepened, the strong wind did not show any signs of abating. Instead, it grew stronger and stronger. The heavy snowflakes smashed against the tent. Coupled with the howls, it was as if evil spirits were knocking on the door.
Inside the tent, Cheng Mujie and Yao Zhen's faces were pale from fright. Their palms were covered in cold sweat. The moment they broke out into a sweat, they instantly felt colder in this temperature.
"Haijiang, do you think there are … ghosts in this world?" Cheng Mujie asked with a trembling voice.
He Haijiang shook his head and said in a trembling voice, "No … No. Definitely not."
Yao Zhen huddled into a ball as she took out a hand warmer from her huge backpack and wrapped herself in a huge blanket. She said in a trembling voice, "Why are you still talking about this at a time like this? If you have the time, think of a way to start a fire. If this continues, I'm afraid we won't survive the night. "
Cheng Mujie said, "Didn't Xunzi and the rest head out to find someone? They should be back soon. When the time comes, everything will be fine. "
"I'm just afraid we will be frozen to death by the time they return," Yao Zhen said.
"Haijiang, do you know how to start a fire?" Cheng Mujie asked.
He Haijiang gritted his teeth when he heard that. "Yes. How difficult can it be? But we need some dry wood."
"We can't go on like this. We have to find some wood, or we will die," Yao Zhen said.
"Let's go. Let's find some wood," Cheng Mujie said as well.
"Why are you looking for firewood? Didn't we look for it previously? There's no dry wood at all. If I had to say, don't we have so much? If we light it, we can also keep warm. "Although Cheng Mujie was referring to them, she was actually looking at Yao Zhen's huge bag!
Yao Zhen's heart palpitated. They were planning on burning her things!
"Sis Yao, you have the most things. This is all we have. Let's not hide it. Let's take it all out and burn it. As long as we start a fire and add some of the slightly damp wood outside, we should be able to last a while, "He Haijiang said.
Yao Zhen thought for a moment. At this point in time, she couldn't care less about her treasured clothes. She gritted her teeth and agreed.
