After walking for an unknown amount of time, the snow gradually stopped, but the cold wind was still bone-piercing. Viney stopped and looked around. There was only white snow and trees of varying density. The lights of the road behind her had long disappeared.
"We should be arriving soon, right?" She muttered to herself and continued to move forward.
As she walked, Viney couldn't help but feel a little tired. After all, she had only eaten breakfast. She was cold and hungry, and she had to carry someone. She found a tree to put Vika down, helped her tighten her clothes and hat, and touched her forehead.
"Oh my god, it's burning like this! Why hadn't they arrived at that shabby village yet?!”
When Viney was about to sit down and rest, she found a castle in front of her. She rubbed her eyes hard to make sure it was true. After hesitating for a while, he decided to set off for the castle.
If Viney hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed that the creepy, withered forest in the horror movies really existed in this world!
She suppressed her anxiety and rushed toward the huge building in front of her with her eyes half-closed. She only wanted to leave this terrifying place as soon as possible, so she didn't even know that her face had been cut by a tree branch.
Fortunately, it was snowing heavily today. Otherwise, no one would be able to find their way in the dark forest. After running all the way, Viney finally arrived at the foot of the castle, but the scene in front of her completely extinguished her last hope.
The castle was like a haunted house. The tall tower had mostly collapsed, and the collapsed walls were covered in charred marks. The remaining ruins were still a testament to the tragic burning that had happened back then.
The snow near the castle was much dirtier than the snow on the road before, and every step made a creaking sound. The wide moat had long dried up, and the river ditch was covered with snow mixed with mud. The suspension bridge connecting the city gate had become a dilapidated plank in danger.
Standing in front of the half-opened door, Viney couldn't tell whether she was shivering from the cold or from fear. In the end, she gritted her teeth and closed her eyes, rushing into the ruins.
"Don't be afraid, Viney! You're an adult, a teacher! " Don't be afraid, don't be afraid…" She opened her eyes as she prayed that she was fine. She only calmed down slightly after confirming that she did not find anything scary.
The moonlight here was incomparably bright, but in front of him was a mountain of broken walls. The charred marks were half-hidden under the snow. In the cracks, in the rocks, there were silver longswords that were reflecting a cold light everywhere.
This was a city that had been forgotten in the long river of time. Its loneliness, its brutality, and its bitter vicissitudes that had never faded for thousands of years could only be seen through such a beautiful moonlight.
Unfortunately, Viney wasn't in the mood to analyze it. Vika was still running a fever. He had to take her somewhere where there was no cold wind.
Viney carefully walked through the ruins, fearing that a malicious ghost would jump out and take her life if she knocked over any of them. In the end, she arrived safely at the only intact door in the corner of the city tower.
After entering the door, there was a stone staircase that led up. The stairs and corridors were very narrow. After winding for a while, a place that looked like a hall appeared in front of them.
"Is…is anyone here?" Viney called out in a low voice, her heart in her throat, ready to jump out at any moment. Seeing that no one answered, she felt a sense of security and carefully walked in.
The only remaining half of the wall in the hall was still embedded with huge floor-to-ceiling windows. Although it was severely damaged, the exquisite patterns on it could still be seen under the bright moonlight. There were also broken beams, broken stones, furniture, and utensils everywhere.
Viney found a high-legged bench that was still in good condition among the messy debris, so she quickly put Vika on it. She couldn't resist the fatigue and fell asleep leaning against the chair.
In her haziness, Viney felt someone shaking her. She was startled and opened her eyes abruptly!
It was Vika.
"Sis!" Seeing Vijia sitting in front of her, she was so excited that she wiped her tears." You're finally awake. You scared me!”
"..." Vijia looked at Viney, not knowing what to say.
"If you're not feeling well, just say so. If he had known earlier, he would not have come out today. I thought you were going to die!"
"Hmph, it's good that you die so easily.”Veigar muttered in the shadows.
"What did you say?"
"Why is your face bleeding?" " Where is this?" Vijia changed the topic out of habit.”
"I don't know either. I originally brought you to the fortune-telling granny's place, but I don't know why we ended up here.”Viney touched the wound on her face, and the blood was sucked onto her gloves.
"Let me tell you, this is a castle! It must be a place where rich people used to live. We found an ancient ruin!”
"Why didn't you stay in the car?"
"It's too cold in the car, and you have a fever…"
"Isn't there a heater?"
"That, that, the key is broken." Viney lowered her head and kept pinching her fingers. Vika sighed and didn't continue the topic before he fell asleep.
"Forget it, let's get back to the car and think of a way.”
"I, I…want to go to the toilet."
