Qiu Wuhen wanted to ask for help from the medicinal gourd in his mind, but the medicinal gourd obviously had no intention of appearing. He had to rely on himself, because the medicinal gourd had already said that it would not appear until the last moment.

He looked around nervously, and saw that the roc had turned over and swooped down towards them from mid-air.

Despite the heavy snowfall, because the roc was so big, they could still clearly see its shadow swooping down towards them.

Qian Jinzhi stared at the Dapeng bird, grabbed Qiu Wuhen, and said: "Relax your whole body, I will hold you and hide away!"

The moment the Dapeng rushed forward and opened its claws to grab them, she suddenly pushed Qiu Wuhen to the side and rolled quickly. The Dapeng flew into the air and started to stir.

Huge wings flew up the hillside.

It seems that it wants to dive again. I wonder if it can escape this time?

The two of them rolled several steps away and fell deeply into the snow, completely buried in the snow.

Qiu Wuhen's mind suddenly stopped, an idea flashed, and he said: "Get into the snow and crawl forward. There is a rock over there. Let's crawl behind the rock."

Qian Jinzhi suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought this was a good idea. He immediately followed Qiu Wuhen and climbed into the depths of the thick snow, then crawled forward along the ground.

I don't know if the roc will find them later, so I will get out first.

This kind of crawling cannot be too close to the surface of the snow, otherwise the rocs in the sky may be able to spot it, so they crawl very deep. Fortunately, the snow is softer and easier to crawl. The snow contains oxygen, and

Not very depressed.

They crawled along, leaving the snow behind them like prairie dogs and crawling forward.

They were almost freezing, but the two of them did not dare to stop in order to survive. They kept digging forward until they finally encountered the huge rock a dozen steps away, and they stopped.

They created a small space under the thick layer of snow and squeezed together.

Qian Jinzhi said: "It's so cold."

Indeed, Qian Jinzhi just took off her coat and wrapped it around Yin Chai. She no longer has a coat.

Qiu Wuhen was still wearing a thick jacket, so he unbuttoned it, wrapped Qian Qianzhi, and put her hands under his armpits.

In the snow, we can only stay warm by hugging each other, otherwise everyone will freeze.

The two hugged each other and did not dare to move anymore. They listened to the sounds outside, but there was no sound.

After waiting for a while, Qiu Wuhen said: "Let's poke a small hole up and see if it's there?"

Qian Jinzhi nodded in agreement, and the two of them started digging upwards, and stopped when they were not far from the ice and snow.

After all, Qian Jinzhi was a martial arts practitioner, so her movements were lighter and more agile. She dug through the snow, carefully poked her head out and looked around for a moment, then pulled her head back and blocked the hole with snow again.

Her actions let Qiu Wuhen know that the roc hadn't left yet.

Sure enough, Qian Jinzhi said to Qiu Wuhen: "That guy is still hovering in the air. It seems to have decided that we haven't run far, so we have to wait."

"If it's hovering, it probably won't know where we are. Hold on."

Qian Jinzhi said to him: "Do you think those seven students ran away after encountering this terrifying roc bird?"

Qiu Wuhen said: "I think it is unlikely, because this statement can certainly explain why there are no traces of attackers on the ground, but it cannot explain other questions. For example, brothers Zhang Dalang and Zhang Erlang were fighting each other. Why?

Could it be that the roc could make them insane? It's obviously impossible. And why did the roc make Yin Chai take off all his clothes? This is also unexplainable. Also, why did the giraffe hang himself?"

"Yes, these are indeed things that the roc cannot explain."

Qiu Wuhen whispered again: "However, although the roc cannot be the only cause of the whole thing, it can be part of the cause."

"How do you say this?"

"For example, the roc bird caused their panic, and later the brothers fought each other for other reasons, and the giraffe hanging may have been caused by another reason. And Yinchai took off his clothes in the cave and fainted from the cold. This is another reason.

A cause, a mixture of events resulting from all the individual causes, can explain why these conditions occur."

Qian Jinzhi nodded excitedly and said, "Yes, you are still smart. Why didn't I think of a different reason?"

Qiu Wuhen said: "Let's stop talking. Although we are hiding under the ice, the roc may not be able to hear our voices in the sky, but it is better to be careful."

So the two of them stopped talking and just cuddled tightly together for warmth, waiting for the roc to leave.

After a while, Qian Jinzhi looked out again and saw that the roc kept circling in the sky and did not come down.

Qiu Wuhen also climbed up to take a look. The giant roc bird in the sky flapped its huge wings slowly and circled around the place where they disappeared. It seemed that it would not give up until it reached its goal.

Qiu Wuhen said: "Let's just keep going like this. I don't believe that the roc will stay in the sky forever."

"Perhaps Mr. Ke and the others will come back to pick us up."

"Yes, we have to pay attention to the sounds outside at all times."

"I'm sleepy, let's take a nap down there."

Qiu Wuhen said seriously: "Okay, but you can't take advantage of this opportunity."

"Bah, have your sweet dreams!"

She pushed Qiu Wuhen, then hugged his arm with her hands and said, "I'm going to hug you, otherwise I'll freeze to death. If you think I'm taking advantage, then think so. Anyway, I won't let you go."

, your wife doesn’t know either.”

As they were talking, they suddenly heard someone's voice coming from a distance outside, calling their names.

Qiu Wuhen and Qian Jinzhi sat up immediately and listened to the sound. Sure enough, someone was calling them. It was definitely not an illusion.

So Qian Jinzhi immediately got out of the passage. At first glance, he saw many people shouting loudly. The roc bird in the sky flew higher, but he could still vaguely see it. There were so many people below and

If you hold the torch, the roc will naturally not come down again.

Qian Jinzhi shouted: "We are here!"

It was Ke Datou and others who came.

It turned out that after they returned to the county town to settle down, they found that it was dark and snowing heavily. They were afraid that Qiu Wuhen and the others would have trouble, so they immediately summoned dozens of people to come back up the mountain with torches to pick them up.

Chief Ke and the others ran over and said happily to the two of them: "We thought you were in some danger, but we didn't expect you two to be hiding here."

"We are hiding from the roc in the sky. That guy almost caught us and used us as food."

No one paid attention to the sky. After hearing this, they hurriedly looked up to the sky. Sure enough, they saw that the Dapeng Crow was still in the sky, soaring slowly, but it just disappeared and appeared.

Seeing the Dapeng rushing down without any help, everyone felt a little relieved.

Qiu Wuhen patted the snow on his body and put his jacket on again. The policeman had extra clothes, so he was worried that he would encounter any problems to keep warm. He immediately gave Qian Jinzhi one to wear.

On the body.
