Chapter 29 - Chapter 29: Snowball

After solving the problem, Mallory did not return to the snow cave, but stood on the small platform and moved his muscles.

Curled up in the snow cave, although not cold, but the body can hardly move the space, now he is very some back pain.

After a while, Mallory remembered something, so the snow wall that he contaminated last night also dealt with, from the bed and get some snow tamped to redo a snow wall filled in there.

Man is a higher creature, this must not do even worse than the cat.

Even if you fall into such a situation, you can't let down your quality of life requirements.

The snow keeps falling, staying outside is really boring, and there is no way to lie in bed.

The main thing is the cold.

Mallory had no choice but to go back into the snow cave.

If he hadn't known about the existence of Film City, Mallory would be desperate now.

So desperate that he wanted to kill himself.

Knowing that there is a film city so existence, like a candle in the dark, although the light is weak, but after all, it also gave Mallory showed a way, gave him the faith to persevere, so that he has a direction to work hard, know that through their efforts, it is possible to improve the current situation.

The most important thing for people in desperate situations is faith, if even faith is gone, then it is really dead.

The day just passed.

After nightfall, the snow finally stopped.

Mallory was sure that the reason the snow had stopped was because the moon had come out and the sky was no longer so gray.

But it was still cold, and the blankets and bedding were frozen hard in the snow, so it was still necessary to hide in the snow cave for the night.

Before going to sleep, Mallory ate an unpolluted snowball.

It was hard to eat, but it would give himself some hydration.

"I hope tomorrow is a sunny day." Mallory prayed after lying down before closing his eyes.

...

Mallory sometimes thinks he is still lucky.

Right now, for example, his dream has come true.

When he went to sleep last night, he hoped that today would be a sunny day.

Today was a sunny day.

The weather at the top of Stonehenge is completely irregular and unpredictable.

The sun was out.

And there was no wind.

But sometimes it's not a good thing when dreams come true.

Like waking up to Mallory in the morning.

When the sun came out, it suddenly became very hot.

So hot that it melted the snow on the bed and on top of the stone pillars.

It turned into water and dripped down.

Mallory was soaked to the skin.

The clothes he bought in the film city, as well as pajamas all on his body, now all wet.

The good thing is that the sun came out, and the temperature rose unnaturally, now it is not worried about freezing to death.

Not worried about being frozen to death, but after the temperature rises abnormally, Mallory will soon have to worry about the problem of drinking water.

Must be prepared for a rainy day.

Mallory put all the uncontaminated snow he could find on the top of the stone pillar and the bed together in one place and made a big snowball to hide under the bed.

After the tattered quilt and mattress were warmed by the sun and no longer so hard, Mallory covered them with the big snowball under the bed.

This big snowball is now his treasure.

If the snow on the top of the stone pillar all by the sun melted away, the next few days are not rain, and can not return to the film city, this snow ball is his only source of water.

No tools, and the stone pillar material is incredibly hard, otherwise, Mallory would like to dig a hole in the top of the stone pillar to save this big snow ball.

After saving the big snowball, Mallory took off all his wet clothes and hung them on the bed guard rail.

And then from time to time to pay attention to his bed under the big snowball.

Although the big snowball covered with a quilt, but in the sun's blazing heat, the big snowball is still melting, from time to time there is water flowing out from under the quilt, along the edge of the stone pillar.

Mallory was distressed, but there was nothing he could do to stop it.

If tomorrow is also this blazing hot, the big snowball probably won't last until noon tomorrow.

Today is the third day back from the film city.

I heard them say that the interval between two performances is generally three to five days, the day of return is not counted in the three to five days, so the earliest you can not enter the film city again until the day after tomorrow.

Keep up the good work.

...

The daytime is very hot.

But the night is very cold.

Although it did not rain or snow.

But the wind was picking up.

Mallory gave up the blanket to the snowball, he had to curl up on the bedpan.

The good thing is that the clothes are dry, inside the pajamas, outside is the clothes bought in the film city, than to go to the film city before the pajamas alone is still a little stronger.

Next time back to the film and television city, must buy a thick clothes.

This cold is too hard to survive.

Frozen bones hurt.

...

Mallory doesn't know how he survived the night.

He was awake most of the time.

It wasn't that he wanted to stay awake.

It was the freezing that kept him awake.

The cold was more unbearable than staying in a snow cave.

The wind was not strong, but it was enough to blow away the only heat left in his body.

When the sun came out at dawn the next day, Mallory felt like he was dying.

According to the rules of the film city, it is definitely impossible to return to the film city today, only to hold on until tomorrow there is hope.

When the sun finally put Mallory's hands and feet to have some heat, Mallory went under the bed, with some hands not to listen to open his quilt.

The snowball inside was only a third of what he had made yesterday.

It probably won't last until noon.

Mallory grabbed a few pieces of snow and forced himself to eat it.

Both as breakfast and as a drink.

As long as the body still has water, it can survive a few more days, and last until the next trip to the film city.

After the snowball becomes smaller, you can wrap the quilt in more layers on top.

As long as the wrap is thick enough, you may be able to keep a little snowball until tomorrow.

After a day in the sun, Mallory almost all lay on the bedpan and did not move.

Of course, to conserve energy and preserve strength.

Nevertheless, by the evening, Mallory was still hungry, and began to hallucinate.

I wish I had a bite to eat!

After a day in the sun, Mallory in addition to hunger, but also very some thirst.

But he kept insisting not to move the snowball.

The sun is so hot in broad daylight when open the quilt, the heat brought in, will cause great loss to the snowball.

Now this snowball is his life.

After the sun set and the temperature on top of the stone pillar dropped, Mallory only then carefully opened the quilt under the bed, reached in and touched it, and could not help but be pleasantly surprised.

The snowball inside, actually still have a small half, about the size of a fist!

The snowball, which had been hardened by Mallory, had softened considerably by this time.

Mallory guessed that the snowball would not last until tomorrow, he carefully took the snowball out and ate it all in one big gulp.

The sun's thirsty body has finally been replenished and nourished.

There will be no water source tomorrow ... if it doesn't rain or snow tomorrow.

Tomorrow should be able to return to the film city, right?

I hope to return to Film City tomorrow.

He wants to eat delicious thin rice, he wants to eat Hamburger with a big mouthful of salty vegetables.

Mallory drooled as he slumped down on the bedpan.
