Chapter 196

In this way, the four of us marched in the old forest for 8 days with wooden sticks, like human beings in the stone age. In the evening, we set up a snow hut or build a simple shack with small trees to sleep and rest. During the day, we march or find something to eat. Except pine seeds and small animals that can be found occasionally, we didn't let go of what we can eat in the tree forest. The insects in the dead tree core blew a hole in the birch trunk, inserted a wooden strip, sucked the juice of the forest, and so on. We even ate a lot of moss called deer moss under the snow. It was originally Chi Lu's food. Although it had no calories and was bitter and astringent, it was always better than nothing.

As I walked, I wondered if I had been spoiled by high-tech things. I was used to eating high-protein military rations and drinking high-energy nutrient solution. I was used to making a phone call or calling twice on the radio. There were days when helicopters and cars came to pick up. But now, let alone satellite phones, even electronic watches are broken. High-tech things are really easy to use, But sometimes it's a little fragile.

If Lao Hei or shopkeeper Qian sees the appearance of the four of us at the moment, I'm afraid they will be surprised. Women pay more attention to combing themselves, so Sanmei and Jinlihua look good. Although there are many broken leaves stuck to their hair, their faces are also haggard. Compared with them, I look more embarrassed. I haven't shaved my beard for a few days, and my body is dirty. My clothes are cut by the branches. When I walk, I have such a sharp brother's style. Unfortunately, I don't have his temperament and wind feeling.

But it seems the worst is Ivan. I compare him with the difference between tramps and savages. He now looks like a brown orangutan in rags. The main reason is that he has a beard. If he doesn't shave half of his face in a day, he will be covered with hair. It's even worse in a few days. He should be careful not to bite his beard when eating. It's true that our northeast joke used to describe bad people and often provoke discord is that even the beard eats grass - pick inside and dig outside.

But no one cares about the appearance, because we have a more serious problem to face, that is, the shortage of food. On this issue, Ivan is also the worst. It is a simple truth that if people are large, they will consume more energy in the process of exercise. In addition, Ivan has no field experience. In this harsh environment, he has collapsed several times. He would faint in the snow while walking. When we fainted for the third time, we helped him up and found that he had a cut on his forehead and was bleeding constantly.

Sanmei immediately helped him stop bleeding. Jinlihua and I squatted on the ground and poked away the snow with the branches of crutches in our hands to see what stabbed Ivan.

It doesn't matter. Under the thick snow, a dead deer was found. Ivan was stabbed by the sharp horn of the deer. It seems that he is lucky, otherwise he may be blind.

I used to shoot Ivan, who has sobered up, and said, "Hey, brother, good news, your bad luck may come to an end. God sent you Santa's mount to mend your body. Get up and don't lie down. It's the deer you found after bleeding and sacrifice. As a reward, I'll give you a big deer leg."

"It's not that simple," Jin Lihua called us over, pointed to the wound on the deer's neck and some animal footprints under the snow, and continued: "The dead deer is stored here by the wolf. The wolf doesn't have fat to survive the winter like the bear. The wolf depends on these things. Moreover, the wolf's character is very cunning. He may have observed us these days, but he's not sure, so he doesn't dare to attack us. However, if we use their life-saving food, it may be different. Maybe they will report Reply. "

If Ivan hears that there is venison to eat, he has begun to swallow his saliva. I can't help but say, "it's a moment. Urgent problems have to be dealt with urgently. If he eats it, he may be bitten by a wolf. If he doesn't eat it, Ivan will starve to death. One is possible and the other is bound to happen. Let's take the lesser of the two evils."

Jinlihua didn't continue to object. The four of us immediately cut down trees to make a fire, peeled off the deer skin and removed the internal organs, put large pieces of meat on branches and baked it on the fire. The deer meat was preserved in this natural refrigerator without any deterioration, and the aroma floated out before it was cooked. Ivan refused his injured hind legs, insisted on eating one for each of the two women, and then joined me The two women were not willing to eat the hind legs, but tied the deer legs with shoelaces and prepared to take them away.

The first batch of venison was soon roasted. Although there was no oil, salt and black pepper, I thought it must be the best thing to eat in the world. What bird's nest and shark's fin, compared with the steaming large piece of venison in front of me, that was floating clouds.

The four people had a wild meal. When they had something in their stomach, they warmed up a lot and felt stronger. They carried the remaining venison on their back as much as possible without wasting venison skin. After cutting into several pieces, they wrapped ropes around their necks to keep out the cold.

"That's good. I didn't even take it with me. Everyone mixed a real leather scarf." I joked.

Sanmei didn't know why she began to get nervous. She looked around vigilantly and said, "hurry up, I always feel something wrong."

With the foundation of high protein and high nutrition food, our marching speed was obviously accelerated. On the third day, we finally crossed another mountain and came to a mountain depression between the two peaks.

Due to these leeward winds, a lot of snow is brought here by the wind and piled up. The thickest place is waist deep and the shallow place is above the knee. Just as she walked to the middle of the valley, Sanmei suddenly stretched out her hand and pulled me. Jinlihua also took the pistol out and carried it in her hand. The two women stared at the whole snow covered depression with beautiful eyes and full of vigilance.

It didn't look like they were joking. Ivan and I immediately drew guns from each other, and the four formed a circle back to back. I just wanted to ask what was the matter. Sanmei put up her fingers, made a "silent" gesture and pointed to her ears.

Listen carefully like her and Jinlihua. It seems that there is a kind of friction sound coming into my ears. The sound is very light. I can't hear it without listening carefully. Even if I listen carefully, it feels like the sound of wind rubbing the ground.

But this time it was not the wind rubbing the ground at all, but other things touched the ground from under the snow. The first reaction was Jinlihua. She suddenly pointed a gun at the snow two or three meters in front of her. Bang bang was two shots.

With the sound of her gunshot, several large bags suddenly burst out in the mirror like snow in front of us, and then several wolves with snow foam all over came out of them. The wolf began to drill from the snow in the distance and set an ambush for us here. People have to admire their IQ. The wolves who had been lying under the snow for a long time now came out one after another. Their hair was stained with white snow. They would sweep the flying snow all over the sky with every jump. With incomparable ferocity and evil spirit, they exposed their cold and glittering wolf teeth and rushed at the four of us.

Frankly speaking, the wolf is an animal I like and admire. Whenever I see this animal, I feel like I see half of myself, the whole old black. Sometimes when I go to the zoo and see the wolf in the cage, I feel like I'm locked in. I have a pair of sharp teeth but nowhere to use, which will produce a certain degree of sympathy. But none of this has slowed the gun in my hand. After all, just admiration and sympathy are not enough to make me give up my right to survive. For example, I admire Apple's gang leader Joe, but if he wants to stab me with a knife, he still has to draw a knife to fight him.

The nine bullets left in the magazine were quickly used up, and there was no time to change the bullets. In fact, the four of us had no spare bullets and sank into the lake together with other equipment.

At the same time when the bullet was empty, I smashed the gun into the head of a wolf, smashed a big hole in the corner of its eye, and seemed to blind one. But the wolves are particularly fierce, and the word "wolf" is only a little less than the word "cruel". I don't know whether it means that the wolf without one eye is more cruel, but this is really the case in front of me.

After his eyes were injured, the wolf became more aggressive. As soon as he shrank back, he rushed at me. At the moment, my gun had left my hand, so I had to block the wooden stick as a crutch in front of me. I didn't expect it to bite on it without thinking. It roared and tilted its head back. I pulled it in my arms again, and the wooden stick with thick wrist broke in two.

I put one of the two wooden sticks directly into its throat, stabbed it to death on the spot, and then flew up and kicked it into the snow a few meters away. The remaining half of the stick was just the length of the appropriate stick. It stunned the second wolf, but the stick broke after a crisp sound from the solid wolf's skull.

Throwing away half the stick as long as the coke bottle in my hand, I pulled out the saber with my backhand, just in time for a wolf with white eyes. With a cold wind and snow foam, I opened my mouth and bit my throat. I held his body up with my left hand and blocked his mouth out of reach. My right hand fiercely followed up and stabbed him in the belly. The wolf was killed on the spot.

Holding the wolf corpse as a shield in her left hand, she killed and injured several wolves one after another. She stole a look at her partner who also shot all the bullets. Sanmei already held two knives in her hand, one in front of the other. The light of the knife reflected the snow and the blood rushed into the sky. She was painting on the white snow with Yongchun's knife technique dipped in the blood of the wolf, and it looked like it was the time to kill soundly.

Jinlihua also pursed her thin lips, clenched Beifang's teeth and waved her knife. She was smarter not to know when to cut the tip out of one end of the stick. A rifle used as a bayonet in your hand, coupled with a right-hand military knife, poke and pick with a stick at the far end and stab with a knife at the near end. It seems that it's OK for a while.

But Ivan is more troublesome. He is really too tall. It is the so-called "one foot is short and one inch is strong". Height is definitely an advantage when looking for an image, but now it is a complete disadvantage. The cunning wolves saw the flaw and bit him with a grip on his lower abdomen or thigh. Four or five wounds have been caught on his body, and dripping blood is dripping on the snow.

"Protect Ivan and withdraw," I said simply. Originally, I wanted to stand side by side with Sanmei, but Jinlihua stabbed a wolf's throat with a wooden stick and said, "he's too heavy for me to hold."

I couldn't laugh or cry because of this woman with personality and ability. I had to carry Ivan's arm on my shoulder and help him go first. Due to the low temperature, the blood he shed has been frozen on his clothes. For the hard bound layer, we must find a place to stop bleeding immediately, otherwise in this weather, he will die of hypothermia without dying of wolf kiss.

I helped Ivan run hard. Ivan said, "you said you would have more meat for dinner when you met a wolf or a bear. Why did you run again?"

As soon as I heard that there was a big fire, I spent so much energy to help him, and even ran against me. I immediately said, "how do I know so many wolves? I thought it was the occasional one or two in the northeast forest. Besides, I did say that there was more meat for dinner, and I didn't say who had more meat for dinner." Ivan was so angry that he twitched twice in the corner of his mouth, as if he wanted to refute me, But he didn't say anything, so he had to follow me and run for his life.

During the retreat, a row of more than a dozen wolves appeared at the edge of the woods in front, staring at our throats with long and narrow eyes, eager to tear them fast. It seems that it is not nonsense to say that wolves know how to use soldiers. This batch is clearly used to cut off our way back. If Sanmei hadn't had sharp ears and heard the sound of wolves crawling slightly under the snow, plus the four of us had guns in our hands and killed the first batch of wolves that suddenly appeared. If we could hold our ground, we could have suffered a great loss. It seems that we'd better ask clearly when we eat next time. For example, it's the food rations of such revenge loving animals. It's better to stay away as far as possible.

When there were bad wolves behind and hungry wolves in front, suddenly several arrows flew out of the tree from the woods, and the three wolves were nailed to the ground with a few whizzes. When I looked up, I saw a young man in a sheepskin coat. He was bowing down and shooting arrows. The arrows pointed to the wolves around us.

Ivan looked up and said, "it's the aborigines here."

These people shot arrows when they were silent. The wolves seemed to have suffered losses under these people. Their arrogance weakened a little when they saw them. The wolves turned around and retreated one after another with the long voice of the head wolves on the other side of the mountain. The last few didn't forget to turn back and stare at us and the guys in the tree. Maybe they were thinking: "The meat buried under the snow was eaten by the four guys, and the meat in the mouth was flown by the guy in the tree. Human beings are terrible
