Chapter 107 Burial Map
He touched his arm through his sleeve to make sure that the original wound had not opened or been injured again, then he lowered his eyes and climbed up from the ground.
Putting the bag back on his back, Pei Yan patted the scattered stones on his clothes.
"Let's go."
Gu Chaoxi nodded and walked out in the direction Pei Yan had gone.
When they reached the cave entrance they had entered yesterday, the three of them stopped where they were.
Not to mention that the three people slid down from the snow yesterday. Look at the situation now. After a night, the snow at the entrance of the cave has accumulated more.
The trace where they slid down yesterday has now been covered by the snow and no trace can be seen at all.
The entrance to the cave itself is quite high, and with thick snow drifting in, it’s not so easy to get out now.
Pei Yan tried to take two steps onto the snow, but he sank with every step.
He stepped out and shook his ankle, a layer of compacted snow falling off the soles of his shoes.
Qin Wei looked at the gap on his forehead that was big enough for a person to get through, and raised his hand to touch his forehead.
“You can’t shovel snow, can you?”
"It's not possible to shovel snow. Let's stick to the rock wall and see if we can step on a higher and more compacted spot."
The newly fallen snow had not yet settled, and every step would cause them to sink further, which was not conducive to their escape.
Pei Yan began to grope upwards along the leftmost rock wall. The stone wall at the entrance of the cave was smoother than the rocks in other places in the cave, probably due to wind, frost, rain and snow.
Even if he wanted to find a place to step on, he had no place to do so.
Fortunately, there was a place above my head where I could barely hold on with my hands.
He pressed close to the stone wall and tried to raise his feet to a slightly higher position.
Instantly my ankles were submerged in the snow again.
This time Pei Yan did not rush to take his foot out. Instead, he stepped inside again to test the thickness.
Until his calves were almost submerged, he finally felt the thickness of the soles of his feet.
He immediately pulled his legs out of the snow, and then used the instep of his feet to sweep the snow in front of him to the side.
After about a minute, he swept away the scattered snow in front of him, revealing the place where he had just stepped on.
A shallow footprint was imprinted in the snow.
Qin Wei was delighted and couldn't help clapping his hands: "Great, now we can step on it and go up."
"Ah."
Gu Chaoxi also nodded.
Once you determine where the new snow and old snow are, it will be much easier.
He immediately cleared a path near the stone wall in front of him, and then used his toes to dig hard into the snow, making a few small holes for his forefoot to step into.
"I'll go out and take a look first."
He supported himself by putting his hands on the snow and put one foot on it.
Gu Chaoxi raised his eyes and glanced outside. The sky outside was white, only slightly darker than the bright white snow.
"Be careful, there's a lot of new snow outside."
The new snow hasn't settled yet, and if you're not careful, you might sink into the snow.
This is a hillside. If they fall in and slide downwards, no matter how hard she and Qin Wei try, they probably won't be able to save them.
Pei Yan nodded and climbed up towards the gap above.
The upper layer of new snow is much fluffier and softer than the lower layer, and can be distinguished at a glance with the naked eye.
He stretched out his arms and used his sleeves to sweep the snow aside in front of him, then he stretched out his arms to grab it and slowly moved his feet upwards.
The wind outside was strong, blowing across his cheeks without mercy, chilling him to the bone.
Pei Yan shuddered, shook his shoulders violently, and half of his body lay outside.
All I could see was endless white snow, as if everything was covered.
He raised his foot and swept his leg up, then kicked with his left leg and climbed out.
Watching Pei Yan disappear from his sight, Gu Chaoxi's heart seemed to rise to his throat for a moment.
Fortunately, after a few seconds, Pei Yan's face appeared in the gap.
"Let me pull you up."
As he spoke, he lowered his head and peered in, staring at the two people standing below.
Gu Chaoxi raised his hand and pushed Qin Wei, secretly curling the corners of his lips.
She was just worried about Pei Yan.
Qin Wei nodded, and climbed up from the position where Pei Yan had just climbed up.
After all, Pei Yan had already laid the groundwork, so it was relatively easy for her.
Pei Yan reached out to pull her, and she didn't hesitate and took his hand directly.
Qin Wei used his hands and feet to slide out as if on the snow.
After Qin Wei went out, Gu Chaoxi walked to the stone wall and began to climb up.
When she leaned out of the cave, the wind outside blew across her face mercilessly, making it almost impossible for her to open her eyes.
Pei Yan and Qin Wei worked together to pull her up, and when they lay on the snow, Gu Chaoxi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The sky was somewhat gloomy, and wherever I looked, there seemed to be no clouds.
She blinked, and Qin Wei came into her sight from the side.
"Little cutie, we have to get down the mountain quickly."
"Okay." She nodded.
Qin Wei stretched out her hand, she smiled, and held her hand tightly.
In fact, the hands of both of them were not very warm, but seemed a little cold.
She was pulled up by Qin Wei and saw Pei Yan walking forward with his head down.
"You won't get lost, will you?"
"You have to trust Pei Yan."
This guy has received much more education and training since he was a child than they imagined, so there is no need to worry about getting lost when he goes out with Pei Yan.
Gu Chaoxi nodded and followed Qin Wei's steps.
The three people's progress was not very smooth. When they reached the place they had bypassed yesterday, the wind and snow began to get stronger.
They had no choice but to lean behind a big rock and rest for a while.
"Take a break and relax. We'll continue moving forward later."
Pei Yan said this, lowered his head and took out the map from his bag.
He looked around and reached out to dig something in the snow.
Gu Chaoxi turned his head and looked at Pei Yan, who touched the ground and dug a small hole.
He crumpled the map into a very small ball and pressed it down hard.
He buried the map with the snow he had dug out, then stomped on it hard until there was no trace of the burial left.
Qin Wei took a look and then looked away.
Gu Chaoxi just squatted there, holding his face with his hands on his knees.
Her ears seemed to be blown away by the wind, so she had to press them hard with her fingers.
Why did Pei Yan bury this map? Perhaps he didn't want those who have not yet entered the other world to find the mysterious cave.
Although he couldn't explain clearly how many people the other world would drag in.
But if there can be one less, then so be it.
"Enough rest, let's go."
Gu Chaoxi stood up. Her wrists were trembling from the cold and she really wanted to go back to the warm room.
Pei Yan nodded, and seeing Qin Wei also stood up, he stood up and walked forward again.
Perhaps because the wind and snow were so severe today, it took them an hour and a half longer to go down the mountain than yesterday.
