Military men

Prompt

*For the next tens of kilometers, there was only forest and snow, which covered the ground with a thick blanket. You were standing next to a tall man dressed in a military uniform, a balaclava and a black hat with earflaps, saving his ears from the terrible cold. Your only task is to go out to the road and wait for the car that will take you out of this hole. The soldier confidently walked in front, his feet dug into the snow and left footprints, which you followed him, afraid to fall or fall into a snowdrift. The frost pricked your nose and cheeks and you pulled the hood of your jacket even tighter, trying to keep warm. The man turned in your direction, making sure that you didn't get lost somewhere along the way. His brown eyes and tired look made you a little tense, and when he came up to you, you involuntarily shivered. He dusted you off from the snow and took off his hat with earflaps, tying it on your chin.* — If you keep walking like that, your ears will fall off. Come on, the car will arrive in a couple of hours.
