Chapter 589 Survival in the Pole
When my master talks about recovery, it is naturally impossible to wait for complete recovery. It takes too long. We don’t have the leisure to wait all the time, and the situation does not allow us to wait. We apply ointment every day, just waiting for the swelling to subside and the pain to stop.
By the time, it's basically no big deal.
In three or four days, probably because my master was in charge, the other people who were left behind did not experience any problems.
We made a lot of preparations without telling several fellow villagers. The only ones who knew the ins and outs were probably Bai Gen and his wife. Qi Mancang is a smart man. He probably guessed something from things like borrowing horses in recent days, and he came here secretly like a thief.
After asking about it once, I was relieved to learn that my master also had arrangements for them.
Both of them were tight-lipped and did not say a single word to the outside world.
Doing this is a last resort. Now people are in panic. These families who can't leave almost regard us as life-saving straw. When life is at stake, human beings are the greatest and the most despicable. When there is still a glimmer of hope.
Sometimes, the level of unity and selflessness will reach an astonishing level, but if we are completely desperate, it's hard to say what will happen at that time. In order to avoid trouble, we can only do this.
As for my master's arrangement, it is actually very simple.
He left the Zhenwu flag!!
He also told Shigen to obey his authority in emergencies. After we left, he would immediately gather everyone to their home. They would not be afraid of being crowded. They would stay there for a while. When we came out, the clouds would clear and the moon would shine.
In this way, coupled with the relics at Shigen's house, it must be safe.
At noon on the fourth day, while several families were having dinner, we pulled up the horses prepared by Bai Gen and Qi Mancang and set off. We had two horses, one riding and one carrying our luggage, and rushed to Qi Mancang's house.
After arriving at the pasture, we dismounted and took our luggage and walked into the mountains. As for the horses, we ignored them. With Dazao around, they would take the other horses back to the village.
Xiaomayi is a pass at the corner of two mountains in the south and southwest. After passing the pass, there are vast mountains in front of you. Go straight to the northeast and you will reach the former site of the Three Eyes Kingdom. The terrain there is unique. I used Jiang Haichao to go there.
In the words of some people, it is a natural and dangerous place for military strategists!
The cavalry cannot be deployed on a large scale. As long as the pass is held, the two sides can only fight on foot inside and sacrifice their lives. Wang Zhong may have been optimistic about this and chose to retreat there. It is estimated that the Tatars were able to solve these six or seven
Qian Mingjun also paid a heavy price.
When we arrived near Xiaomayi Pass, it was already completely dark. In fact, it was only around four o'clock in the afternoon. When we passed the place where Brother Yaozi and I were attacked by that thing last time, my master stopped briefly.
After observing for a while and finding nothing else, we set out again.
As soon as it gets dark, the temperature in the mountains drops sharply.
Especially in the pass of Xiaomayi, which is only about twenty feet wide from left to right, it is the opening where the cold wind howls. The snow is buried on the waist of people, and the cold wind passes by. Even if you pull up the mask, it is still difficult to breathe.
"Let's go further, we can't rest here as originally planned."
Brother Yaozi, who was walking at the front, turned around and said to us: "The temperature is probably close to minus 60 degrees, and the wind is so strong, any sleeping bag will be chilled after being blown for a while. If you sleep in this place, it will be too cold for one night."
It’s gone.”
The situation in the mountains is special. According to our plan, we were originally going to travel during the day and set up camp to rest immediately after dark. Who would have thought that the wind direction suddenly changed, and the pass that was originally a shelter from the wind became a wind outlet instead.
My master nodded and indicated to continue moving forward.
This pass is not long, about three or four kilometers, and moving forward very slowly against the wind. At about eight or nine o'clock in the evening, we finally got out.
At this time, we have completely entered the range of Wutou Mountain, and it seems that we should be halfway up the mountain.
The forest is very dense, with ice crystals hanging on the branches. When the flashlight shines on it, it shines beautifully.
The wind was much lighter than in the pass, but it was still not suitable for camping.
"Think of something. It's really unsafe to continue on our way at this point."
Lao Bai gasped and said: "After drinking the wind all day, my cotton pants have already been soaked. I just chewed some dry food and grabbed a few handfuls of snow. It was really refreshing. If I continue walking, my physical strength will not be the same."
If you don’t, you won’t be able to cope with the situation once it happens.”
It’s true that this guy is a lazy guy, but what he said is true. Cold is our biggest enemy, and we really can’t hold on anymore.
Seeing my master nodding, I said: "Then let's rest. I think it's a bit difficult to find a place with leeward wind here. Since God won't make it easier, we have to rely on ourselves."
I just came up with this idea. When I was checking information here, I saw igloos and igloos in some scenic spots. This thing is not exclusive to the Eskimos. People who live in cold places have this idea.
Skills, in a place like this, the wind is the biggest enemy. As long as the wind is blocked, the temperature will be guaranteed.
Of course I don't know how to build an igloo or a snow house, and it's just for one night, so I can't afford such a big battle, but it's not difficult to just build a shelter from the wind.
First clear a place for camping, then use local materials, use engineering shovels to pound the snow on the ground firmly. The waist-deep snow is nearly thirty to forty centimeters thick after being pounded, like a large brick, and pile it up
Around the camp…
Not long after, a kiln similar to a brick kiln was built, but it was not capped. I tried it, but the technology was not good, and the roof collapsed if it was sewn, but it was enough without capping. Once I drilled inside, the whole world suddenly became quiet.
It got warmer.
Lao Bai slapped me on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, little Weizi, you have it. This is a good idea. I was thinking before that if I sleep in the heavy snow, I'm afraid everyone will be dead the next day."
Hard."
After arranging the sleeping bags around, Brother Harrier and I climbed out and picked up some dry firewood. In this season, this is the most indispensable thing in the forest. We made a fire to melt the snow and boil it, and then used the dried beef we brought with us.
Tear it into pieces and throw it in, add some salt and crushed dried chili peppers and stew it, and you will have a pot of fragrant meat porridge. It may look like pig food from the outside, but to us it is extremely delicious.
After drinking three large bowls in one breath, the chill went away from my body, not to mention feeling comfortable. It was like the difference between heaven and earth.
Because the environment was dangerous and we didn’t know what was in the woods, we had two people and one big sleeping bag.
Walking in the snow, the boots are always wet. After a day of stuffiness, it is inevitable that there will be a smell after taking off the shoes. Xiaozhi, the traitor, refused to stay with me and crawled to Zhang Xinya's end, while Lao Bai was
Brother Yaozi kicked out, and came to my side in an extremely wretched manner, saying that we could make do with the quilt.
When this guy got in, I regretted it...
My feet are poisonous enough, but they are not the most poisonous, only more poisonous.
As soon as Lao Bai took off his shoes, I immediately knew why Brother Yaozi had kicked them out. The smell of his feet could rival the smell of corpses. He was probably the only one in the world. Moreover, this bitch seemed to have drank too much cold wind.
, I felt cold in my stomach, and started to fart after drinking a bowl of hot soup. Others fart loudly but not smelly, but he farts loudly and smelly. I don’t understand how a beauty like the Red Lady could care about her.
Such a salty guy...
There was such a poisonous gas bomb next to me. Needless to say, it was a very exciting night. In addition, the previous frostbite and the heat started to make it extremely itchy, so I woke up within a few hours after closing my eyes.
.
Lao Bai, who was in the sleeping bag, raised his buttocks and pressed against me, letting out a long, smelly fart with a "beep" sound, which made my legs feel numb. I finally couldn't bear it anymore, so I opened the sleeping bag and got out.
The person standing guard outside was Zhang Xinya. Under the firelight, her skin had a faint sheen. With a smile on her lips, she turned around and said, "It's not easy. I've only been on Wushuang's shift for an hour, and I heard that scumbag leave no less than twenty people."
Shit, it’s beyond my imagination that you can endure it till now. I will definitely kill him and flush his corpse into the sewer..."
I was not in the mood to laugh, so I sat down next to her with a sullen face. Zhang Xinya saw that I looked wrong and asked me what was wrong.
"How long has it been like this?"
I pointed to the bonfire in front of me. The flames were very quiet, almost eerie. Although we dug a shelter from the wind, the cold wind was still howling above our heads, and there were wisps of cold wind seeping in from the gaps around us. But at this moment,
All this has disappeared, and the flames have not moved!
The suspicion on Zhang Xinya's face already told me the answer. She didn't notice this at all. She opened her mouth and was about to speak when a shadow enveloped me and her.
