Xiao Hou, nineteen years old, from Linyi, Shandong Province, was a soldier last fall and joined the army for less than a year. He is still a new recruit who is gradually adapting to the life of the military camp.

As a native of the southerner, I heard about the Greater Xing'an Mountains in the Northeast, and knew the "Five and Sixth" fire that shocked the world, and also knew that this was the coldest place in China. My comrade-in-arms once joked with him, "If you stay here, you must know about common sense. Otherwise, you will die at that time and feel embarrassed."

His comrade-in-arms was also the squad leader of Xiao Hou's squad. His two-year-old soldiers were authentic Northeastern people, from the Arctic Village in Mohe, which is the only small village in China where you can see the northern lights.

Xiao Hou was very puzzled at the time, and when he saw the dirty smiles of the other three comrades in the class, he was even more puzzled.

Four months ago, one night at around 9:50, before the lights were turned off, he lay on the head of the bed and asked his comrade-in-arms in the Arctic Village, "Squad leader, what common sense do you know? Let's hear it."

Because he is from Shandong, he has a strong Shandong accent when speaking. The squad leader who lives opposite him repeated several times before he understood what he was asking. He laughed and pointed out the window and asked him: "What month is it now? What season is it?"

"In December, what season is there? Of course it's winter now. If the squad leader says something, why can he keep it?"

Seeing Xiao Hou's anxious and impatient look, the other comrades could not lie down, and covered their mouths and burst into laughter. Seeing Xiao Hou's eyes full of jokes, this made Xiao Hou even more anxious and angry. Everyone knows the feelings, but they don't understand them!

Shandong people are stubborn. When Xiaohou comes, I don’t listen. So I shrank down and covered my head with a quilt.

Xiao Hou covered his head and hid in the quilt. He heard the Hunan-born comrade advise the squad leader, "Squad leader, tell me quickly. Don't let our little Shandong kid make a mistake and clean up the thing on his body. Hehe...Puchi...haha..."

"You..." As the shortest-age soldier in the squad, Xiao Hou has always been the object of these senior veterans to make fun of him. He got up from the quilt with anger, wearing only a vest and shorts, half-naked and not strong body, half-kneeled in the middle of the bed, gritted his teeth and stared at their noses one by one, expressing his anger and dissatisfaction.

"Okay, okay, Shandong kids, with a responsible attitude for the people and comrades-in-arms. The old class will tell you today. By the way, I will teach you how to ensure your physical integrity in the Northeast, so as not to cause eternal regrets due to mistakes, and that you will not be able to marry a wife in the future."

Seeing Xiao Hou's face turned red with anger, the squad leader made a gesture to him, signaling him to get closer and stretch his ears over.

"Squad leader, I will tell you, if I tease me again, I will report to my superiors and sue you for bullying recruits." Xiao Hou pouted and came to the squad leader angrily.

"Okay, I'll tell you." The squad leader hugged Xiao Hou's shoulder with a stingy look, and said in a low voice: "Our place is cold, very cold, right?"

"Yes." Xiao Hou nodded.

"So, you have to remember to never urinate outside again in the future."

He suddenly felt that the squad leader's next words might not sound nice, but he couldn't help but feel curious. He asked, "Why?"

Sure enough, the old teacher told him next, it was so cheap. "Stupid, don't understand this? In such a cold day, you are peeing outside, and it doesn't matter if you squirt out the water flow is frozen. What if your chick/chicken is frozen? There is an icicle between the chick/chicken and the ground. Could it be that we all smashed him and saved your chick/chicken? Haha..."

The old classmate's words are still heard. This joke may be exaggerated and funny before tonight, but at this moment, Xiao Hou is sure that if he takes out the guy now, the words said by the squad leader will definitely come true.

It's cold, it's so cold here. The biting cold is not enough to describe the low temperature in the primeval forest night. The low temperature of minus 30 degrees is indeed not something that people can bear. The cold wind at night seems to have turned into countless small knives, ruthlessly cutting everything exposed outside.

The nose, face, hands and feet were numb and stiff, and gradually lost consciousness. The eyebrows, eyelashes, the collar of the coat and the hat were dyed thickly with white frost.

The thick snow can prevent the entire leg from falling off with one foot. Every step forward will consume part of your physical strength. The creaking sound will be endless.

The dark forest was so hard that I could not see my five fingers. It was not like walking in the world, but a deep and boundless vortex of darkness.

Only by relying on the white light beams emitted from the flashlight to distinguish the direction. The towering trees that are extremely tall and cannot be surrounded by adults silently declare that this is its own occupied area and not a place where humans should set foot.

The little Hou, who was walking at the front of the team, was completely frozen from the inside out, and his nerves and reactions seemed to be getting slower and slower. He was walking mechanically, and his voice was unclear.

"Second, class... leader, this is not a solution... We may not be able to withstand it before we find the person..."

"Squad leader... can the people we are looking for still be alive in this environment? They won't be frozen to death long ago..."

"Second...the class monitor...will you ask your superiors...to change the search method..."

Xiao Hou's lips were trembling with coldness, and he said seven or eight words intermittently, but he didn't see the squad leader talking. He was so stiff that he was about to turn around, and he felt a cold under his neck. It was not the cold temperature that brought the cold to his skin, but the sharp knife pressed against his hair and skin, which brought the life-threatening coldness.

At the same time, a strange and cold voice sounded in my ears: "Sorry, your squad leader and comrades-in-arms seem to be asleep and can't answer you."

This sudden unfamiliar voice and the life-threatening bone-acupuncture caused by the sharp blade under the neck, the coldness of the bones that stood up, and the feeling of goosebumps suddenly made Xiao Hou Ru fall into an ice cellar.

Although he was a recruit and was not very old, he was only nineteen years old, but after all, he was a soldier with formal training. He immediately thought that some unknown incident might have happened behind him. The comrades in the class were very likely to be in danger.

Fire a gun to warn!

However, the reaction and experience of the people behind him were completely above Xiao Hou. After joking with cruelty, he decisively slashed the knife hard, and a hot blood with a moment of temperature sprinkled on the young warrior's chest.

He let go of the fingers that were pulling the trigger, covered his cut throat with his hand, turned around with difficulty, and raised the flashlight. The remaining consciousness before his death, with the flashlight, let Xiao Hou see the bodies of the four comrades crawling not far away. He also saw two faces of middle-aged people with grim smiles, disdain, cruel and toxicity.

"Uh...uh...you are...you...who are you...you...a..." Wu Shen stared at the front with his eyes, and a large amount of plasma foam rolled in his mouth. Without getting the due reply, the Shandong warrior Xiao Hou, who had lost his life, rushed forward and lay in the primeval forest forever.

Fifteen minutes later, the harsh phone ringing in the Military Sub-district Conference Room rang.
