Ancient natural disaster: The whole family went to escape together

On this day, black snow fell in the dead woods.

The black snow was falling heavier and heavier. Su Bujing, wrapped in a furry collar, struggled to open his eyes against the wind. He slightly blocked his eyes with his left hand, squinted and looked ahead at the black dots, and shouted loudly:

"Mom, Dad, brother, brother, look! There seems to be a dead tree in front of us, blocking our way."

Su Bujing obviously spoke very forcefully, but because he was wearing a mask and the wind was very loud, everyone in the Su family was confused and did not understand what Su Bujing said.

Su Bujing didn't get a response for a long time. Knowing that his family might not hear clearly, he had to raise his voice again and shouted with all his strength: "I said! There seems to be a dead tree in front of us blocking our way!"

At this time, all the Su family members heard Su Bujing's words clearly. They squinted their eyes and looked in the direction Su Bujing pointed with difficulty.

"I see it, I see it, there is a dead tree in front of me." Su Buwei shouted this sentence with his throat broken.

"Dad, aunt, let's find a place to hide from the wind first, the snow is too heavy!" Su Buyi also saw the huge dead tree in front of him, turned around and suggested to Su Yuanshan and Zhao.

Nowadays, it is very windy and snowy, and it is difficult to walk upright. If we have to climb an extra large dead tree in such bad weather, it is simply a dream.

At this time, Mrs. Zhao was holding Su Buyou tightly with both hands, struggling to use her back to resist the heavy snow that was invading indiscriminately, trying her best to prevent Su Buyou from being blown by the wind and snow.

The reason why she walked with Su Buyu in her arms was not because Su Buyou was squeamish, but because he was almost blown down by the strong wind when he was walking alone just now!
Probably because Su Buyou was young and the smallest and lightest in the family, he was most likely to be blown to the ground by stronger winds.

Zhao and Su Yuanshan looked at each other across the black snow, and said together: "Then find a place nearby to block the wind and take shelter for the time being. When the snow stops, we can set off again!"

Whether it was because there was a big dead tree blocking the road ahead or it was difficult to walk due to the heavy snow, they had to stop and take shelter from the intensifying snow.

As soon as Zhao and Su Yuanshan finished speaking, Su Buyi took a step forward and led his family members slowly and steadily toward the resting place he had chosen in advance.

This resting place is not a cave or a dead tree, but a handful of weeds as high as two people. The dense weeds can just cover the strong wind roaring in front.

The weeds were in a semi-wilted state, and their long and wide leaves drooped feebly, arching into a semicircular arc, just enough for people to rest their feet.

Around the resting place, the compact leaves are crowded together, and even if black snow falls on them, they will not be crushed.

Zhao held Su Buyu and walked quickly to stay under the leaves. Su Buwei and Su Bujing followed closely behind, while Su Buyi and Su Yuanshan pulled their horses and fell at the back.

After arriving at the place, Su Buyi and Su Yuanshan handed the horse rope to Su Buwei. They turned around and used sharp tools to cut off a few wide leaves and carefully laid them on the wet ground.

This will isolate the moisture in the soil.

After the floor was full, Su Yuanshan and Su Buyi invited their family members to sit down and rest.

The blades are barely big enough for six people and one horse, so there is no room for more space.

After the whole family was safely hiding under the leaves, Ms. Zhao noticed that they all looked tired.

So, she took out two teapots from the space, first poured a cup of refreshing scented tea for everyone, and then took out the prepared dried insects and greeted the family members to fill their stomachs.

In cold weather, you should always keep your stomach full and your stomach not empty, so that your mind and thinking will always stay clear, and you can make the right response in time even in the face of danger.

Each of the Su family held a steaming tea cup and sipped the refreshing scented tea. Only when they felt that their internal organs were warmed up and their minds were no longer confused, did the family feel in the mood to eat dried worms and talk at the same time.

"It's so scary outside, with such a strong wind, I feel so uncomfortable every time I breathe!" Ms. Zhao said with lingering fear.

The air outside seemed to be carrying sharp ice knives, piercing her nose directly into her eye sockets, causing her temples to twitch and hurt.

"Fortunately, we are wearing masks, otherwise it would be uncomfortable to breathe, and we would have to eat a mouthful of snow every time before talking!" Su Buwei spat lightly, feeling very disgusted with the current weather.Su Yuanshan did not complain about the bad weather, but asked about the situation of the dead tree mountain he had seen before, "Hey, how big is that tree? If we go around the dead tree, is it feasible?"

Su Bujing turned to look at Su Buyi, and the two made eye contact before replying: "It was snowing too much at the time, and neither my eldest brother nor I could clearly see the specific location of the dead tree."

Su Buyi then replied: "When the snow stops, we will go over and have a look. If we can get around the tree, we will take a detour. If not..."

Su Buyi didn't say anything, but everyone understood the unfinished meaning.

Either face the difficulties and climb the mountain and move forward!
Either give up and return the way you came!
There are only these two paths before the Su family, and there is no other choice.

The Su family will only choose the first path, which is to face the difficulties!

"So, there is a giant forest not far ahead. We have walked for so long, and now we are about to see the true face of the big dead tree!" Ms. Zhao sighed with emotion, and she could hear her heavy sigh through the mask. Voice.

Su Yuanshan warned with some worry: "After we enter, we'd better tie ropes on everyone."

"The plants in the giant forest are all so big. If someone gets lost, it will be troublesome to find them."

Su Bujing and others agreed. Zhao immediately took out a piece of indigo cloth from the space and hung it around the horse's neck, preparing it in advance.

After a long time, the wind and snow outside gradually subsided, the strong wind turned into a breeze, and the black snow disappeared.

The snow has stopped and the wind has stopped.

Seeing this, the family did not set off immediately, but continued to rest where they were.

After all the black snow on the ground melted into black snow water and was absorbed by the black soil, they tied blue cloth around their waists in an orderly manner, and the family just connected together to form a string of candied haws.

Now, as long as the rope continues, no one will be left behind.

After confirming the reliability and toughness of the rope several times, the family packed up their things on the ground and hit the road again.

The wind and snow stopped, and Su Bujing and others' vision was no longer affected by the black snow. Now they could clearly see the giant forest trees standing in front of them.

Su Bujing stood on tiptoes and stretched his head to look at the giant forest just around the corner.

There are many thick dead trees scattered in an intricate manner on the periphery of the giant forest. Except for the weird color, their appearance is no different from the trees before the natural disaster. It is as if the normal-sized trees have been enlarged dozens or hundreds of times compared to the same period last year.

A human being in the middle of it would probably be about the same size as the thousands of leaves on a dead tree, let alone a tree trunk.

Some of the dead trees in the depths are taller and stronger than the dead trees on the outside. The slender tree tops are so high that they seem to pierce the sky. The tops are slightly curved, sloping towards the center of the giant forest.

Looking at the ridiculous scene in front of them, Su Bujing and others suddenly thought:

How can an earthworm shake a big tree? !

"This... this is simply a place where giants stay!" Su Buwei was shocked by the scene in front of him and almost murmured these words.

I am afraid that only the tall giants in the story books would think that these dead trees are normal size!
Everyone, in front of such a huge thing, is as small as a grain of sand, and even time will stop because of it.
