Chapter 3: Little shelter

After a binge drinking, Li Teng's stomach was quickly filled with rain, but the heavy rain was still pouring, and the shower on his face made his breathing difficult.
It didn't help to keep rubbing his face with both hands.
The problem of thirst has just been solved, but now it is about to drown in the pouring rain.
More deadly is the cold.
The strong wind blew on his drenched body, swept away the little heat left in Li Teng's body, and his body was trembling in the cold.
The quilt and the bedding were all soaking wet and slumped heavily on the bed, impossible to bring him any warmth.
With lightning bursts and thunderstorms, Li Teng, who was tortured by extreme fear and cold, could no longer take the risk of falling from the top of the stone pillar. He turned over and got into the bottom of the wooden bed with the help of the bed board and the wet cushion on it. The shelter formed by the quilt was shivering between the top of the stone pillar and the bed.
The stone wall at the top of the pillar is as cold as the wet bed.
The wind can blow in, making it even more biting.
The only difference is that the rain no longer pours directly on Li Teng's body, but drips from the gap between the bed boards, giving Li Teng room to breathe.
"What did I do wrong? Why should I punish me like this?"
Li Teng wanted to cry.
There was water on his face, and he didn't know whether it was rain or tears.
I really want to cry.
"It’s not a sin for men to cry, cry, cry, no matter how strong they are, they have the right to get tired, and if there is only a broken heart behind a smile, why do you have to be so embarrassed to be a man"
"It's not a sin for a man to cry, cry, cry, and taste the tears of a long absence. Even if it rains, it is a kind of beauty. It's better to take this opportunity and cry."
Unknowingly, Li Teng who was hiding under the bed actually sang.
Not to mention, after singing the children's songs for a while, Li Teng's inner fear and despair were dispelled a lot.
At a certain moment, Li Teng seemed to have returned to the real world, back to some memories of the past.
Perhaps it was the deafening thunder, hunger, and the bone-to-the-bone cold had already made him hallucinate.
Lying on the top of the cold stone pillars, leaning against the shelter of the wooden bed, surrounded by squalls and rain, lightning and thunder.
Such a heavy wind and rain did not turn this little wooden bed over and blow it away.
Li Teng was not in the mood to think about the principles behind it. He was just grateful in his heart that he could still have such a small shelter in such a storm.
I'm so lucky.
The hands, feet and body wetted by the rain have long become cold and numb.
Li Teng kept singing songs to anesthetize himself, just like that, he fell asleep unconsciously.
It may also be a coma.
Maybe you won't wake up again?
Then don't wake up.
Li Teng's last thought before unconscious.
Such a bad desperate situation makes no sense to struggle.
...
Although I thought I would never wake up again.
But Li Teng was still awake.
When I woke up again, the surroundings were already bright.
Very bright.
The body is no longer so cold, it seems to be...
The rain stopped and the sun came out!
My body is hurting everywhere.
And it's stiff.
It's so stiff that it doesn't seem to be his own.
Lying on the stone wall, Li Teng worked hard for a long time before finally stretching his body.
Fortunately, the hands and feet are still conscious.
With the surrounding sunlight, Li Teng could see the surroundings clearly.
The four legs of the wooden bed were fixed to the top of the stone pillars by rivets. No wonder this wooden bed was not overturned and blown away in the storm last night.
Who did this? It takes a lot of idle time to do such a thing!
Knowing that the wooden bed was fixed by rivets, Li Teng was also relieved a lot. He climbed to the edge of the stone platform, turned over his body, grabbed the edge of the wooden bed and the bed rail, and carefully turned over the wooden bed.
The wooden bed handed down from my family’s ancestors is really strong. Even if it’s fixed on a stone pillar with another wooden bed, I’m afraid it’s going to be blown apart by the storm last night.
The quilt and padding were soaked in rain. Although the sun is very hot now, they cannot be dried so quickly.
Li Teng twisted them, and then dried them on the wooden guardrail at the head of the bed. He took off the pajamas that hadn't dried out and dried them in the sun.
There is no one here, even if you are naked, you will not be accused of disturbing public order.
After finishing all this, Li Teng panted and lay on the bed that was also not dry.
hunger.
The whole body is full of hunger that has 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 rib soup."
"I still want to eat hot dry noodles."
"I……"
Li Teng fantasizes frantically, and his stomach is constantly cramping.
Having lived for more than 20 years, I have never been so hungry.
Is this hell?
If not, how could there be such a tall stone pillar in the world?
There is no difference between being trapped on it and being tortured!
Unconsciously, Li Teng, who was extremely hungry and weak, fell asleep again under the sunlight.
Had a mess of dreams.
It seems to be eating all kinds of food.
I want to eat even if I eat, and I will never be full.
When he woke up, Li Teng did not open his eyes and stood up.
Instead, I imagined that I had returned to my bedroom and resumed the normal life of an otaku.
"Blandness is blessing!"
After opening his eyes, Li Teng still did not get up.
I looked at the sky, then tilted my head and looked at both sides...
"grass!"
Obviously, he still failed to return to his original life.
He still stayed at the top of this kilometer high stone pillar!
It's just that when Li Teng wanted to sit up, he found that when he woke up this time, things were finally a little different from before...
On the quilt hanging on the end of his bed, a bird stopped unexpectedly!
Li Teng doesn't know what this bird is. It seems to be about the size of a pigeon. Although it is not as fat as a domestic pigeon, it can at least shave off half of its flesh.
In an instant, Li Teng's eyes lit up.
Glowing green light.
For a person who is hungry to his level, no matter what, as long as it is a living thing, it will be included in the category of food.
Asuka turned his back to Li Teng at this time, and did not realize that the unclothed man behind him was making his mind.
Of course, Li Teng would not miss this heaven-sent opportunity, the only opportunity in the past two days to get him a little fuller with food.
He supported the bed with both hands, moved his body slowly, and slowly approached the bird, letting the bird fall within the range of his own hands.
Although Li Teng was very careful, the creak of the bed board still betrayed him. Asuka was startled, and subconsciously looked back at Li Teng.
I don’t know if it saw the green light in Li Teng’s eyes, or saw the saliva beside Li Teng’s mouth. The bird instinctively realized the danger. The second after it turned back to see Li Teng, it opened its wings and was ready to fly. Leaving this dangerous place.
It is too late to say that it is fast, and Li Teng, who is already hungry to a crazy state, how can he let him go so easily?
Li Teng almost used all the strength of his whole body, and instantly lifted his body from the bedboard, and his hand was like an eagle's claw and rushed towards the bird like lightning.
It's a pity, only a little bit...
Li Teng was not reconciled, and the two legs of the body that had already stood up instinctively used force together, and suddenly stretched out his other hand to grab the bird that had flew off the bed rail.
Unfortunately, it is still a little bit worse.
Asuka easily avoided Li Teng’s pounce, flew into the air and screamed. After looking back at Li Teng seemingly sympathetic, he fluttered his wings and flew towards the distant sky, and quickly disappeared in the air. A trace.
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 to maintain his balance, it was too late.
Li Teng fell out of the bed rail with a headed onion. In a panic, he instinctively grabbed a bed rail, so that his body was not immediately thrown out by the swooping motion just now.
But the bed rail was too thin to withstand the huge force that Li Teng's body fluttered away, and it broke apart with a bang.
Li Teng's body fell down instantly.
