Our current situation was like this. We had no way to contact the outside world, and we couldn't easily leave this temporary shelter.
We could only silently endure this sudden predicament and wait for a miracle to happen. Or, we could make plans after the rain passes.
Someone once said that as long as a person had enough energy, they wouldn't freeze to death.
Now that we were in this situation, I had no choice but to use my 'unique skill' to resist the cold — exercise.
However, this small cave was too small, and it was impossible to do too much exercise.
I could only jump twice on the spot and punch a few times at the entrance of the cave. Gradually, I regained some warmth.
Miss Itafenli also copied me and exercised on the spot, using exercise to get rid of the cold in her body.
However, after exercising, one's stamina would be depleted, and that would lead to hunger.
It didn't take long for both of our stomachs to start complaining about the empty fort strategy.
However, what could this barren mountain have to satisfy our hunger?
Not to mention, it was the season between autumn and winter. There weren't even any wild fruits.
Time passed by, minute by minute ….
I was also trying to think of a solution.
However, the rain didn't stop.
The sound of the rain was bone-chilling. I couldn't help but curse at the sky.
Miss Itafenli's body shrank into a ball. Her lips trembled as she said, "Master, this time, this time, I came to China and caused trouble for you.
If I had known earlier, I would have returned to China with my father.
That way, you wouldn't have to suffer with me, and you wouldn't have to worry about me. "
I rubbed my hands and said while warming them, "Miss Itafenli, don't say that. No one would have thought that things would turn out like this."
Itafenli said, "I don't know how Danton, Marisia, and Staff Officer You are now."
I said, "Don't worry. They aren't ordinary people. Nothing will happen to them.
They should be out of danger by now. "
Itafenli blamed herself, "Because of me, I implicated so many of you.
Sigh, I really wish I wasn't the President's daughter, but an ordinary person.
That would be so good! "
I smiled. "With your status, I don't know how many people dream of becoming one!"
Itafenli forced a smile. Suddenly, she stared at me and asked, "Master, if I was just an ordinary girl, would you still teach me martial arts?"
I pinched my nose, not knowing how to answer.
I answered, "Well, maybe I will, maybe I won't."
Itafenli asked in confusion, "Why?"
I replied, "If she's as kind and friendly as you, I'll definitely teach her."
Itafenli revealed a knowing smile, "Master, don't praise me, it's easy to become arrogant!" Her face had already bloomed with a trace of shyness.
I was amused by her cuteness.
…
When the rain stopped, it was already eight o 'clock in the evening.
The rain stopped, but the weather became even colder.
Although his clothes had already been dried by his body temperature, the bone-chilling wind that came in from outside the cave was still hard to resist.
Miss Itafenli shivered and asked, "Master, are you very cold?"
I forced a smile and thought to myself, How can I not be cold?
But I still pretended to be a man and smiled. "It's okay."
Itafenli frowned and said, "Aiya, how are we going to get through the night?
I'm cold and hungry. "
I comforted her and said, "It'll be quick.
How about this, we'll each tell a story until dawn, how about it? "
Itafenli smiled and said, "That's a good idea … Then, you go first, Master goes first!"
I thought for a moment and said, "Okay.
I'll tell you a story about the Northeast … Legend has it that when Wanda Mountain was desolate and uninhabited, two brothers braved the wind and snow to dig for wild ginseng in the depths of the old forest. It was the twelfth month of winter, and the two lost their way in the old forest. Seeing that they had run out of food, the clothes they were wearing also bloomed.
At night, the wind blew heavy snow, and the weather was too cold. The two of them snuggled up to each other in the forest. The younger brother fell asleep first, but the older brother couldn't sleep. He thought that unless he gave one of their clothes to wear, he could still save the other's life. Otherwise, both of them would freeze to death.
He took off his flowery cotton-padded jacket and covered his younger brother, leaving a handful of millet next to him.
Seeing that his younger brother's shoes and socks were too worn out, he used a sickle to cut off his own hair and stuffed it into his brother's worn-out jacket.
Just like that, the kind-hearted older brother froze to death in the old forest … When the younger brother woke up the next morning, he felt warm all over, and his feet didn't feel as uncomfortable as when they were cut by a knife.
He looked up and saw that his older brother had disappeared. He looked again and saw that his older brother's jacket was covering him, and his feet were wrapped in his hair. He jumped up and called for his older brother while looking around.
He found a big pine tree and saw his older brother's bare head and naked body, frozen to death in the snow.
The younger brother hugged his older brother's corpse and cried bitterly. Finally, he dug up the frozen soil and buried his older brother. He also buried his older brother's hair on the grave.
The younger brother walked out of the old forest sorrowfully … In the spring of the second year, the younger brother came to visit his older brother's grave. The hair on his brother's grave was gone, but there was a hair-like fine grass growing in its place. The grass swayed with the wind and kept growing up.
The younger brother thought, 'Could it be that my older brother was afraid that I would be cold on the mountain, so he asked me to cut the grass and bring it back to warm my feet?'
So he picked up the sickle, cut the long and fine grass, and went down the mountain.
After that, this kind of tall and fine grass grew all over the mountains and plains. The poor farmers followed his example and used this kind of grass to warm themselves, and called this grass' grass'. "
In fact, the story I told was very popular among the people, and it also touched generations of people.
But at this time, when I told it, I couldn't help but feel that we were in the same boat.
Isn't the situation of Miss Itafenli and I similar to the situation of the two brothers in the story?
Of course, I didn't deliberately tell this story to hint at our current situation.
I just felt that this story was very moving, so I told it to Miss Itafenli.
But I didn't expect that the story would make Miss Italfini shed a string of tears.
She was moved by the story and actually sobbed softly. She used a small hand to rub her nose and said sadly, "This brother is too pitiful and too kind. He was such a good brother …" As she spoke, she suddenly glanced at me and was stunned.
Miss Itafenli looked at me and said, "Master, now, now you are like the brother in the story.
But I won't let you … "She didn't finish her sentence. Instead, she suddenly took off her coat and handed it over to him." Master, put on your coat. It's too cold. You'll freeze! "
I felt a little embarrassed and forced the coat to cover Miss Itafenli, saying, "I'm not cold.
I'm warm now! "
She wouldn't misunderstand and think that I had an ulterior motive for telling this story, right?
I groaned in my heart.
Then, Miss Itafenli also told a story. It was a tragic love story.
Of course, girls, no matter what country they were from, seemed to have a unique yearning and feeling for love. They would often be moved by tragic love stories and yearn for it.
Miss Itafenli was no exception.
After she finished telling the story, she was silent for a moment and suddenly said to me, "Master, can we hug for a while?"
I was stunned, but then I heard Miss Itafenli explain, "Master, don't misunderstand. What I meant was that we can hug each other for warmth.
It's just for warmth. "
I didn't have a reason to refuse.
And so, we moved closer and hugged each other tighter and tighter.
I couldn't help but believe that sometimes, people who hug each other aren't necessarily lovers.
We hugged each other without any distracting thoughts. Our bodies were pressed tightly together. I let Miss Itafenli put her hand into my coat for warmth, and Miss Itafenli also stuffed my hand into her coat.
One was a guard, one was a target; one was a Chinese soldier, and one was an important foreign guest.
Just like that, we hugged each other tightly.
We imagined each other as a ball of fire, and the weather was no longer cold.
We took turns to tell the story, one, two, three …
Unknowingly, the night had passed.
The sky had just brightened, and the rain had stopped. The weak sunlight reflected in the cave, and the weather gradually became warmer.
I decided to go out and contact the Special Forces and the Ministry of Public Security to send more people to protect Miss Itafenli and escort her to the State Guesthouse safely.
Of course, this is by no means making a mountain out of a molehill. I know the means of the outlaws very well. Now that I have been targeted by them, they will do everything possible to find Miss Itafenli. She is in a very dangerous situation, and I must spare no effort to return her safely to her country.
For a high-ranking guard, the safety of the target was more important than anything else, even more important than their own life.
This sudden change had pushed us into a difficult situation. Before we got out of this situation, we had to be careful and couldn't be careless.
It was a pity that the communication devices were broken. Otherwise, things would have been much simpler.
I glanced at the woman's phone hanging on a rock, picked it up, and looked at it. Then, I plugged in the battery and turned it on.
The doorbell rang … It was a rather melodious tune.
I couldn't hide my joy and said happily, "Okay, okay, the phone works!"
Miss Itafenli also rushed over and looked at the phone screen. She clapped her hands and urged, "Hurry, hurry up and call Master, hurry!"
I nodded.
Miss Itafenli's eyes were full of desire. It was like a blind person longing for light, or a poet longing for inspiration. It was very real.
I used Miss Itafenli's phone to exchange for my own savings card. Then, I called Vice Minister Lin of the Ministry of Public Security first.
Vice Minister Lin's voice came from the other side. "Secretary Zhao, Brother Zhao, how come you have time to call me? You haven't called me in a long time."
Vice Minister Lin was an acquaintance of mine. We had worked together many times because of work. The two of us could be considered 'like-minded' and called each other brothers.
I said, "Brother Lin, your brother is in trouble right now. Please help."
Vice Minister Lin anxiously asked, "What's wrong, Brother Zhao?
Tell me, what's going on? "
I will tell you the current situation.
I will tell you.
Vice Minister Lin immediately said, "How do you want me to help, Brother Zhao?"
I said, "The criminals have already set their sights on Miss Itafenli. For safety reasons, I don't dare to act on my own.
How about this, help me arrange a small team to drive Miss Itafenli to the State Guesthouse.
I will have the Secret Service send people to work with you. "
Vice Minister Lin said, "Okay, no problem.
Right away. "
