Chapter 3 The Little Shelter

After a heavy drinking session, Li Teng's stomach was quickly filled with rainwater, but the heavy rain still poured down on his face, making it difficult for him to breathe.

He kept wiping his face with both hands to no avail.

I had just solved my thirst problem, but now I was drowning in the pouring rain.

Even more deadly is the cold.

The strong wind blew on Li Teng's soaked body, taking away the little heat left in Li Teng's body. His body kept shivering in the cold.

The quilt and bedding were all soaked and hung heavily on the bed, unable to bring him any warmth.

There were bursts of lightning and thunderstorms. Tortured by extreme fear and cold, Li Teng no longer cared about the danger of falling from the top of the stone pillar. He turned over and got into the bottom of the wooden bed, using the bed board and the permeable mattress above.

Using the blanket as a shield, I lay shivering between the top of the stone pillar and the bed board.

The stone wall at the top of the pillar was as cold as the soaked bed.

The wind can blow in as well, but it's even more biting.

The only difference is that the rain no longer pours directly on Li Teng, but drips from the gap between the bed boards, giving Li Teng room to breathe.

"What did I do wrong? Why should I be punished like this?"

Li Teng wanted to cry.

His face was covered with water, and he didn't know whether it was rain or tears.

Really going to cry.

"It's not a sin for a man to cry, cry, cry. No matter how strong a person is, he has the right to be tired. If there is only heartbreak behind the smile, why do you have to be so embarrassed as a human being?"

"Men, it's not a sin to cry. It's not a sin to cry. Taste the taste of tears that have been away for a long time. Even if it rains, it is still a kind of beauty. Why not seize this opportunity and cry once."

Unknowingly, Li Teng, who was hiding under the bed, started singing.

Not to mention, after singing for a while, Li Teng's inner fear and despair were dissipated a lot.

At a certain moment, Li Teng seemed to have returned to the real world and some memories from the past.

Perhaps the deafening thunder, hunger, and bone-chilling cold had caused him to hallucinate.

Lying on the top of the cold stone pillar, leaning against the cover of the wooden bed board, there was strong wind, rain, lightning and thunder all around.

Such a strong wind and rain did not overturn this small wooden bed and blow it away.

Li Teng was not in the mood to think about the principle behind this. He was just grateful in his heart that he could still have such a small shelter in such a storm.

What a blessing.

My hands, feet and body soaked by the rain had already become cold and numb.

Li Teng kept singing to numb himself, and just like that, he fell asleep unconsciously.

Or maybe he passed out.

Maybe I'll never wake up again, right?

Then don't wake up.

Li Teng's last thoughts before he fell into coma.

In such a desperate situation, there is no point in struggling.



Although I thought I would never wake up again.

But Li Teng still woke up.

When I woke up again, it was already bright all around.

Very bright.

The body is no longer so cold, it seems...

The rain stopped and the sun came out!

My body hurts everywhere.

And it's very stiff.

It's so stiff that it doesn't even feel like it's your own.

Lying on the stone wall, Li Teng worked hard for a long time before finally stretching his body.

Fortunately, I still have feeling in my hands and feet.

With the surrounding sunlight, Li Teng could see his surroundings clearly.

The four legs of the wooden bed were riveted to the top of the stone pillars. No wonder the wooden bed was not overturned and blown away in the storm last night.

Who did this? You have to have so much free time to do such a thing!

After knowing that the wooden bed was fixed with rivets, Li Teng felt much more at ease. He climbed to the stone platform, turned over and grabbed the edge and rails of the wooden bed, and carefully turned over to the top of the wooden bed.

The wooden bed passed down from our family is really strong. If it had been replaced by another wooden bed, even if it was fixed on the stone pillar, it would probably be blown apart by the storm last night.

The quilts and cushions were soaked by the rain. Although the sun was hot now, they could not be dried so quickly.

Li Teng twisted them and dried them on the wooden guardrail at the head and end of the bed. He took off his pajamas that were not yet dry and dried them in the sun.

There is no one here, and even if you take off your clothes, you will not be charged with disturbing public order.

After finishing all this, Li Teng panted and lay down on the bed board that was also not dry.

hunger.

My whole body was filled with the feeling of hunger that had reached its limit.

"I want to eat steamed buns."

"I want to eat baked flatbread."

"I want to eat roast chicken."

"I want to drink pork rib soup."

"I also want to eat hot dry noodles."

"I……"

Li Teng fantasized wildly, and at the same time his stomach was spasming.

I have lived for more than twenty years and have never been so hungry as I am now.

Is this hell?

If not, how could there be such a tall stone pillar in the world?

Being trapped up there is no different from being tortured!

Unknowingly, Li Teng, who was extremely hungry and weak, fell into a deep sleep again under the sunlight.

I had a bunch of messy dreams.

It seemed like everyone was eating all kinds of delicacies.

After eating, I still want to eat, but I will never be full.

When he woke up, Li Teng did not open his eyes and get up.

Instead, he fantasized first, imagining that he had returned to his bedroom and resumed his normal homebody life.

"Being ordinary is a blessing!"

After opening his eyes, Li Teng still didn't get up.

He looked at the sky, then tilted his head and looked both ways...

"Grass!"

Obviously, he still hasn't been able to return to his old life.

He's still staying on top of this damn stone pillar a thousand meters above the ground!

But when Li Teng wanted to sit up, he found that when he woke up this time, things were finally different from before...

There was a flying bird sitting on the quilt hanging at the end of his bed!

Li Teng didn't quite know what kind of bird it was. It seemed to be about the same size as a pigeon. Although it wasn't as fat as a domestic pigeon, it could still scrape at least half a pound of meat off its body, right?

For a moment, Li Teng's eyes lit up.

Emit a green light.

For a person who is as hungry as he is, anything, as long as it is a living creature, will be included in the category of food.

The bird was facing away from Li Teng, unaware that the naked man behind it was trying to figure it out.

Of course, Li Teng would not miss this God-given opportunity, the only chance for him to get some food in the past two days.

He supported the bed board with both hands, slowly moved his body, and slowly approached the bird, letting the bird fall within the reach of his hands.

Although Li Teng was very careful, the creaking sound of the bed still gave him away. Feiniao was startled and subconsciously glanced back at Li Teng.

I don't know if it saw the green light in Li Teng's eyes or the saliva on Li Teng's mouth. The flying bird instinctively realized the danger. The next second it turned back and saw Li Teng, it spread its wings and prepared to fly.

Away from this dangerous place.

How could Li Teng, who was so hungry that he was in a state of madness, let it go so easily?

Li Teng used almost all the strength in his body to instantly rise up from the bed, and swooped down at the flying bird with one hand as fast as an eagle's talons and as fast as lightning.

It's a pity that it's only a little bit short...

Li Teng was unwilling to give in. He had already stood up and his legs instinctively exerted force together, and suddenly stretched out his other hand to catch the bird that had flown away from the bed rail.

Unfortunately, it's still a little bit behind.

The bird easily dodged Li Teng's attack, flew into the air, and chirped. After turning around and looking at Li Teng with sympathy, it flapped its wings and flew away into the distant sky, quickly disappearing in the air.

Lost traces.

Li Teng here failed to catch the flying bird, but most of his body rushed out of the wooden bed. When he realized the danger and tried hard to maintain his balance, it was already too late.

Li Teng fell upside down and fell out of the bed rail. In panic, he instinctively grabbed a bed rail to prevent his body from being immediately thrown away by the grabbing action.

But the bed rail was too thin and could not withstand the huge force of Li Teng's body being thrown away, so it broke with a 'crack' sound.
