The snowflakes in the sky began to grow larger and larger. The temperature of the entire forest began to drop suddenly. Winter was like an intrusive guest, barging into the forest without even a word of greeting, pushing away the newly emerged autumn.
"A-choo!" Xu Xuening rubbed her palms and quickly poured a cup of hot water into her stomach. The warm current brought her a little warmth.
"It's so cold." Han Xiaoxiao looked at the entire white sky. Snowflakes floated into his eyes from time to time. In the moment of breathing, his body became hot again, and the snowflakes in his eyes were quickly evaporated by his hot body.
"Are you still cold?" Zhang Kaiyue looked at Han Xiaoxiao curiously. As the little flame in the team, Han Xiaoxiao was responsible for providing firepower and could generate heat and fireballs. Such a small fireball, and yet he still said he was cold?
"How can I not be cold? Don't you see that I can hardly condense fire now?" Han Xiaoxiao said this and a small flame appeared in the palm of her hand. The flame was like the little match girl in the fairy tale. She lit the tiny match, but the temperature of the match could hardly solve any problem. She was also worried that the small flame might be blown out by the wind at any time.
"See, this fire is thinner than a stick of firewood. I guess it will go out if there is a little more wind." Han Xiaoxiao looked at the flame in her palm and shook her head.
"I'm getting colder and colder." The first person to give up was Zhang Kaiyue. He was extremely envious of Han Xiaoxiao's ability to provide herself with heat. He felt like his whole body was stiffening. He gritted his teeth and persevered, trying to keep up with the group. Not wanting to fall behind, Zhang Kaiyue held his breath. He didn't dare breathe deeply, for fear that the cold air outside would be sucked into his body and make him even colder.
Just as Zhang Kaiyue was rubbing his hands vigorously, Mr. Chen closed his eyes and fell to the ground with a thud.
"Brother Chen!" Zhang Kaiyue saw Chen Sheng fainted beside him, and he immediately tried to help him up.
"What's going on?" The other people all gathered around.
Xie Yan reached out his hand to check on Chen Sheng's condition and said to Wei Zizhou, "It's hypothermia. We must find a warm place as soon as possible. Xue Ning, find him something to keep warm."
Everyone in the team was complaining about the cold, but most of them felt that it was still bearable. No one expected that Mr. Chen would be the first one who couldn't bear it and fainted.
At this moment, they were too busy saving people to think about it and immediately started to think of ways to save Chen Sheng's life. The other people also began to disperse quickly. They needed to find a cave to shelter from the snow as quickly as possible.
The snowflakes above our heads are getting bigger and bigger, as if they are going to bring down all the snow in the world.
The snow around them was already above their knees, but there was no sign of the wind and snow stopping.
"Found it, here." Zijing was the first to discover the cave and shouted to Xie Yan and the others. After hearing Zijing's voice, people from other directions immediately headed towards Zijing.
The mountain road was becoming increasingly difficult to walk on. Even if they wanted to move forward, it would be difficult. The wind had no fixed direction, blowing in all directions, picking up dead branches and leaves from the forest. They were caught in the wind and blew into people's cheeks, cutting their exposed skin like thin blades.
"You still know how to protect yourself." Zhou Haojing buttoned up his clothes tightly and pulled out the scarf he'd been keeping in his pocket. Xu Xuening didn't have many masks in stock, so she gave each of them a small scarf. It could be pulled up to tie the hair or used as a scarf. The most convenient thing was that when pulled up, it could cover the ears as well. Although it was thin, it was better than nothing.
However, most of the masks Xu Xuening took out were colorful. A few men thought the colorful masks looked too feminine and kept them in their pockets.
The temperature rose by several degrees, making everyone want to curl up together like cats. The warm feeling warmed their cold bodies and made them realize that happiness was so simple: warmth in the cold winter.
"So comfortable!" Sun Shou stretched out his hands to warm them by the fire, then watched Xu Xuening take out food one after another and put a small pot on the fire.
Everyone looked at her movements with anticipation, because the things she took out were all food, which meant that they could not only avoid the cold wind in this warm cave, but also have a full meal. It was really a pleasure to be able to enjoy hot food and hot water in such bad weather.
"In fifteen minutes more, it will be almost done." Xu Xuening threw a few tinfoil-wrapped boxes directly into the fire and said to Wei Zizhou, "Give me some snow."
Wei Zizhou took the small pot and shoveled a pot of snow from outside.
Soon, the boiling water began to bubble in the pot. Several people watched excitedly as the boiling water was poured into their cups. A cup of fragrant tea, a cup of rich coffee, and the sweet aroma of milk tea mixed in the air, relaxing everyone's body and mind.
"It would be such a pleasant experience to lie on a heated floor with a kitten keeping me warm at my feet!" Ning Hong imagined while holding a cup of milk tea.
"I would rather just cover myself with the quilt and have a good sleep. That would be more comfortable." Zijing held the tea and looked at Ning Hong with a smile.
"Well, if you ask me, it's time for everyone to get together and eat skewers. That would be lively." Sun Jian finished his coffee in one gulp, looked at the box on the fire, and asked Xu Xuening greedily, "Xuening, is it almost done?"
