About the fact that I accidentally turned my sister into a cripple

"elder brother"

"."

"elder brother"

"Brother"

"What are you doing? You're not sleeping yet."

"Brother, do you feel very cold?"

"."

Sakakihara was quiet for a while, and then replied:

"Currently, all the clothes and blankets that can be used to cover the body have been covered."

"But it's still cold."

"Look, Qi Qi, Liuli and Zhi Xue are all asleep. Why don't you squeeze more into Qi Qi's arms?"

Tianhai Qimingyue: "I'm cold too."

"You didn't sleep in July?"

"Can't sleep."

"Where's Liuli?"

"nor"

"yuki?"

"Did not sleep."

Okay, everyone is not asleep emotionally.

The wind and snow were blowing outside the tent, and the remaining warmth inside the blanket was slowly being eroded by the pervasive cold air.

To be honest, Sakakibara Raku also felt cold.

The temperature in the early morning in this deep mountain is probably several degrees lower than in the city.
With the darkness above her head, Suzu Sakakihara shrank her head into the quilt, "You're not really going to freeze to death here tonight."

Tianhai Qimingyue's voice on the side remained calm and calm: "It's very possible."

Sakakihara Suzu turned to look at her, "Sister Qiyue, aren't you afraid?"

"I can only say that it's not bad to die together."

"Don't say such scary things, okay?"

"July~~" Tianhai Jiuliuli deliberately prolonged his voice.

Tianhai Qimingyue closed her eyes and pulled the blanket more towards her face, covering her nose, "I know, I know."

"A-Ling is scared to begin with, so don't scare her on purpose. Why don't you tell her something happy?"

"Have no idea."

"What about telling a joke?"

"I can't tell. Brother, do you want one?"

"Why did it suddenly involve me? I only have cold jokes."

"It's so cold, so don't talk about it."

Sakakihara Suzu was very depressed. No one seemed to take the current situation seriously.

This is in the mountains of Hokkaido at several degrees below zero!
Sakakihara Suzu, who was very frightened, turned to the side and pushed the girl's shoulder with her hand, "What are yuki thinking? yuki, yuki?"

Amami Nozuki opened her eyes blankly and stared above her head. She didn't react until Suzu Sakakibara called her three times in a row.

"Ok?"

"What are you thinking about?"

"I was wondering if it would be better if we all died together in a coffin."

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Sakakihara Suzu couldn't hold herself any longer and stood up suddenly.

The other four people in the bed all looked at her at the same time.

"I can not make it!!!"

"A Ling, what are you going to do?"

"It's cold! I'm going out to make a fire!"

Tianhai Qimingyue half-closed her eyes and said, "There is a cold wind outside the tent, so it is better to lie under the quilt."

Sakakibara was speechless, "Stupid girl."

Tianhai Jiuliuli also said quickly, "Yes, Ling, it's not as warm as here outside. How about you come between me and Qiyue, and the two of us can hold you?"

"No! I want to go out and light a fire."

Sakakibara advised: "Azu, it's so cold outside and the snow is probably dozens of centimeters thick. It's better to stay in the tent."

Tianhai Zhixue also persuaded: "At least everyone can die together."

Sakakihara Raku: "."

"I don't want to die together! My life hasn't started yet, and I'm not even an adult yet! I, I, I want to die. And I won't die until I'm a hundred years old!"

"Sister-chan will live to be a hundred years old?"

"Why can't I? I'm super healthy! If not, I just have to go out and make a fire."

As she spoke, Sakakihara Suzu put on the cotton-padded jacket covering the blanket.After a while, I took the lighter and walked out of the tent.

"Brother, why don't you go out and persuade me?"

"I'm cold. Why don't you go in July?"

"I'm cold too. Sister, go."

".Perhaps Ling will come back after she feels colder outside?"

Sakakibara reached out to fumble for the phone beside the pillow, turned on the screen, and checked the time with the remaining power.

The time was [-]:[-] in the morning.

Still no signal.

The weather list also showed the temperature predicted by the morning weather forecast for tonight. Sakakibara squinted and clicked on it. It was -[-] degrees below zero.
Staying outside for a long time can really freeze someone to death.

Sakakihara Raku is also desperate for the current situation.

According to the amount of snowfall tonight, the road up the mountain and the road down the mountain will definitely be blocked by snow.

In addition, there are basically no rations for these people. Let alone waiting for rescue, these people will starve to death here.

Unless a few snowshoe hares suddenly pop out tomorrow morning, and they are all smashed to death on the tree stump near the tent.

"I remember."

"What?"

"The male protagonist in "Love Letter" died in the mountains of Hokkaido. It was also snowy. He accidentally stepped off the cliff while following the expedition team."

Tianhai Jiuliuli: "Don't say scary things in Qiyue."

"It's a fact. People get lost in the mountains of Hokkaido every year. Maybe this year we should be on the list."

"."

These words sounded really terrifying at this time, and several people could be said to be completely in despair.

The national highway was blocked by snow, and we made many twists and turns to reach this mountain in the wilderness, and it happened to be that a heavy snowstorm closed the mountain.
If it weren't for the temporary good place to set up camp, Sakakibara believed that several people would have been buried in the snow by now.

"Are you afraid of July?"

"What are you afraid of?"

"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 times will come to an end in a few days."

Liuli seems to have the same idea.
"Why haven't Sister-chan come back yet? And I didn't see any fire at the entrance of the tent."

Sakakibara propped up his body 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."

"it is good."

After dressing neatly and getting up, Raku Sakakibara quickly went to the door of the tent 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!"

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 and it had long been buried in the thick snow.

But where did A Ling go?
Sakakibara began to look around.

"A Ling!"

"A Ling!"

"A Ling!"

"Ah - so you are here."

Sakakibara walked around to the back of the tent, and then saw Sakakihara Suzu trying to make a fire with a lighter under a tree not far away.

Sakakibara walked over and stood behind 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.

"Isn't it 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 it. We can go out tomorrow. As we said in July, such heavy snow will not last long." "You want to lie to me again. I heard it outside. , It’s snowing so much tonight, I won’t be able to walk out tomorrow.”

"Afraid?"

".What else?" Sakakihara Suzu continued to try to light a fire.

"Give me the lighter."

"what?"

"Help you light the fire."

Sakakibara Raku 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 larger and larger.After Sakakibara was happy to see the fire completely coming out, 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 bonfire with warm colors quickly 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 is amazing."

"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 kids?" Raku Sakakihara also stretched out 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 when you had nothing to do. Sometimes you would even pull me over and ask me to help you light a fire. If there were freshly caught fish in the fake house, If you want me to roast the fish for you, you should always ask me to bake it for you. 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 bonfire with dancing flames, "I am a girl control, how could I forget these things."

"Ha! Brother, you finally admitted it!"

"Didn't I admit it long 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 some of the cold.
".What if we really die here?"

"Don't worry, your brother will die first 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, that's all."

"elder brother"

"Well, it's here."

"Are you cold?"

"cold."

"Then how about you come closer to me?"

"Row."

Snow continues to fall.

In a daze, the bonfire became much smaller due to lack of firewood supply.

Probably because the heat and light faded, Sakakihara Suzu became nervous.

"I suddenly need to pee."

Sakakihara Raku was stunned for a moment, and then with the faint light of the fire, he saw the blush on A Suzu's face in the darkness, "Go ahead."

"I am afraid."

"Weren't you quite bold in haunted houses before?"

".That's because Sister Liuli and Yuki are around. You are the only one here now."

This kind of thing is quite embarrassing.
After all, Ah Ling is already so old.

"How about settling it here?"

"No, if there's a fire here, at least go to the woods on the edge."

"You can go there by yourself."

"No. I'm afraid. What if a wolf suddenly appears?"

“Where did the wolf come from in Japan?”

"Polar bear."

"Polar bears only live in the Arctic Ocean and zoos," Raku Sakakibara guessed that Suzu was so scared that she couldn't keep her head awake tonight, "but there are still brown bears."

"Yes, there are brown bears."

Sakakihara Suzu looked over with her soft purple eyes.

".You don't expect your brother to beat a brown bear, do you?"

"."

Helpless, Sakakihara could only take her to the forest nearby.

Wait until she finds a good position, then turn her back and wait.

There was no light in the mountains in the early morning, and the cold wind kept whistling in the valley, making it pitch black.

This environment is indeed quite depressing, and Sakakibara Raku can only hope that Suzu will end it soon and conveniently.

"Brother, you won't run away suddenly, right? I'm really scared."

"Who has the spare time to joke around at this time? Okay, hurry up, hurry up, I'll wait for you."

After waiting for 2 minutes, nothing happened.

"What? You don't want to pee?"

".no"

"Then hurry up."

"A Ling?"

Sakakihara Suzu's voice in the darkness was full of nervousness.

"No no"

"scared?"

"Um"

"Then why don't you get up and it won't be inconvenient."

"Brother, come closer."

"what?"

Sakakibara thought that Suzu was too scared to stay alone in such a dark place in the woods without any moonlight, so he walked over to accompany her.

Seeing her squatting in front of her, Sakakihara turned his body consciously.

"hand"

"What do you want my hands for?"

"holding"

"Still holding my hand?!"

"Yeah, I'm afraid."

ok ok ok
Sakakibara handed his hand to her, and it was quickly held.

Ah Ling holds on tightly
Sakakibara could feel that she was really scared.

".Don't allow random thoughts."

"Who has the time? You should do it quickly."

"."

Ah Ling was completely silent.

"Not yet?"

"Brother."

"What? If it's convenient, please hurry up. It's very cold outside, and I don't want you to catch a cold."

"Brother"

"I told you to hurry up -"

"Brother, look over there, look over there."

"What?"

Sakakihara turned his head and shined the flashlight in the direction Suzu said. It was still pitch black and he couldn't see anything.

"What are you shouting, Aling? What's over there, a brown bear? Is it still haunted?"

"It's not a brown bear!" Sakakihara Suzu was obviously excited, "Brother, look carefully! Look carefully!"

At his sister's request, Sakakihara narrowed his eyes this time, and while shining the flashlight, he carefully observed what kind of things were between the pine trees in the distance.

"Brother! Haven't you seen it clearly?!"

"No, don't worry."

Not a bird, not a rabbit, not a brown bear.

In the sky full of snowflakes, a cloud of white mist floated in the forest, slowly rising upwards.

Sakakibara was puzzled. In this winter, with heavy wind and snow, how could there still be white mist floating in the mountains and forests at night?
Are you afraid it's not really haunted?
