Chapter 82: The Aftermath
Naturally, it was Blackface who led the way, because the river was frozen, and it was only with Blackface's ability and this month's exploration that we were able to determine the location of the river.
"Don't be left behind, if you go the wrong way, you will be in trouble. I shouted against the wind.
The surroundings are all white, if you fall behind, you will be lost, although there are some tenacious trees, but no matter how you look at it, they are the same, and they can't be used as markers at all.
"No, I can't walk. Xia He said breathlessly.
"Hold on a little longer, there are more trees in front of us, let's go over there and rest. I said.
In fact, I wanted to travel more, but everyone was indeed a little tired, not Xia He alone.
Finally I came to a barely dense wood, and I said to the people, "All right, let's rest here." ”
Fortunately, the snow in this place is not deep, and some bare stones can even be seen on the ground.
"Let's work harder, pick up more stones, and we'll make a fire to cook. I said to the crowd.
If it weren't for the fear that everyone's physical strength would be too fast, I would have directly asked everyone to eat jerky, but in this cold and snowy place, I really need to have some heat to replenish my physical strength, in fact, it may be more psychological comfort.
Because I had to hurry up, this place was definitely not suitable for the night, and even if we didn't freeze to death, the horses could freeze to death, and the exchange of ideas between me and Blackface during this time was no longer as abstract as before, and now the exchange of ideas between us was more concrete.
So I knew that there was a cave a short walk away and we could settle down there.
I'm so skilled at making fires that I'm even worried about running out of lighters, so I've studied other ways to make fires, but for now, I'm still choosing the fastest.
The state of the crowd gathered in front of the campfire finally recovered a little, and the pot was stewed with mutton, which was best eaten in the cold and snow.
I even added a lot of chili peppers, and although I didn't have a lot of stock anymore, I really needed it now.
We ate this meal quickly, everyone knew that the time was urgent, and we didn't communicate too much, baked the shoes and put out the fire, and we continued on our way.
"Where are we going?" asked Liu Yue.
"Blackface told me that there was a cave not far away, and that we would spend the night there and then continue our journey tomorrow. I said.
"It's really thanks to the black face, otherwise we would have been lost. John said.
"Blackface, praise you. I said with a smile.
The black face who was walking in front looked back at the crowd, and his expression seemed to be a little proud, and I didn't know if I was dazzled.
Seeing that the sky was gradually darkening, although there were no monsters in this place, in the wild, the darkness was as deadly.
"How far is it?" Xia He asked.
"Blackface, can you get there before dark?" I asked in my heart.
After receiving a positive response, I turned around and said, "Everyone, work hard, hurry up at home, we can get there, it's not far away." ”
But having said that, the strength of the people was still inferior to mine, but fortunately I brought torches, and fortunately I could see the road at night with my black face, and we finally found the cave in the darkness.
"Wait a minute. "I stopped the people who couldn't wait to enter the cave.
Although Blackface didn't come out of nowhere, I still wanted to be safe.
"I'll go in with Blackface and have a look, and you prepare some firewood. I said as I walked in side by side with Blackface.
The cave was very large, and there were corners, and the temperature in it had risen a lot, and I looked around carefully, but found no other exits or any creatures, and then I returned to the entrance of the cave and beckoned everyone in.
"It's finally here, and I'm dying of exhaustion. Xia He said.
"Okay, let's get the fire up first, and then we're going to get some firewood, John Paul, and we're going to cut down the trees. I said.
"Shall I stay and watch the fire?" Xia He said.
"Okay, you watch the fire. I walked out of the cave.
"Do you want to build defenses?" asked John.
"Safety first, otherwise I won't be able to sleep well at night. I said.
"Yes, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years. Paul said in fluent Chinese.
"If you can go back, you can become a teacher. I said with a smile.
"Haha, when I study for a while, I can too. John said.
The three of them chatted as they cut down some trees, the trees here are relatively sparsely grown, and the trunks are not very thick, but they are very tall.
Fortunately, the entrance to the cave is not very large, only two or three meters wide, and the height is only two meters, so we placed the barricades, and used the previous method of building trees and snow to reduce the entrance by two-thirds, and the remaining gaps were still covered with animal skins.
In this way, the temperature in the cave will not pass by by the day, and we are busy with all this, and the women are ready for dinner.
This meal everyone eats very slowly, although there is no danger along the way today, but in fact, every step is dangerous, if there are potholes or faults in the snow, we only know when we fall.
Now this meal can be regarded as a lot of enjoyment for the rest of your life after the catastrophe.
"I didn't expect that I, a person who has never eaten hot pot, will never get tired of eating it now. Ling Han said with a smile.
"That's because there were too many choices before, like you chose me. I said with a smile.
Even Luna and Jones understood my pun, after all, their current Chinese level is about to catch up with me.
I quickly put the last piece of meat in my mouth and got up to avoid the attack of the women.
I'm not trying to be skinny, I just want to ease the atmosphere and make everyone not so nervous.
"If you hit me again, you have the ability to fight alone. I said as I crouched on the ground with my head in my hands.
"Okay, sisters, stop. Ling Han said.
The pressure on my body suddenly decreased, and the pink fists were all withdrawn, so I slowly got up, looked at the women and said, "Whoever comes first, say it first, don't cheat people." ”
"Okay, then do you want to fight alone, or do you want to fight in a group?" Ling Han said with a smile.
"Nonsense, I'm alone, it must be a heads-up. I shouted.
"Alright, do it. Ling Han smiled ghostly, and all the women attacked me again.
"Wait, didn't you say it's good to go head-to-head?" I said, raising my hand in front of me.
"Yes, heads-up is you alone picking up all of us. Ling Han said with a harmless look on humans and animals.
", crooked, then I'll choose a group fight. I said.
"Ladies and gentlemen, come on. Ling Han said again.
Seeing that all the women raised their hands and attacked me with bad intentions, I quickly took a few steps back and said, "Why are they all together?
"Is it all of us beating you together?" said the girls in unison.
Seeing that they were smiling like flowers, and they were all as beautiful as fairies, I couldn't let out my anger, so I simply lay down on the ground and said loudly: "Come on, come on, kill me, I can't live anymore, I didn't kill my husband." ”
"Cut, leper dog. The women laughed and cursed, and turned and walked directly towards the bonfire.
I rolled over and got up, pointed at the women, and scolded, "You are the leper dogs." ”
"No, no, no, I am, I am, I'm a leper dog. Seeing that the women got up again with wooden sticks, I hurriedly said with a smile.
John Paul took Luo Shuang and Xia Yun to hide and snicker, and even Xia He covered his mouth and couldn't hold back his laughter, what's the use of having more beauties? I don't feel happy at all.
"Two unrighteous ones," I said as I walked over to John and Paul.
"It's your family affair, we can't take care of it. The two said with a smile.
"Okay, you are ruthless, don't expect me to help you in the future. I said angrily.
After a farce, everyone's mental state was indeed much better, and this night I offered to take over the vigil and let everyone go to sleep.
Don't look at the women who beat me with very black hands, they still feel very sorry for me at critical times, no, they offered to help me stay for two hours.
"It's better not to sleep for two hours...", I muttered quietly, but I still had a smile on my face.
"What did you say?" asked Liu Yue, tilting her head.
"I said that you are really good to me, how blessed I was in my last life. I said with a smile.
"You only said one word. Rumeng said.
"Okay, okay, hurry up, I'll go rest first. I said and ran away.
It was Ling Han who woke me up, she patted me on the shoulder very lightly, I got up with sleepy eyes, and walked directly towards the bonfire, completely ignoring Ling Han's existence.
"What's wrong, angry?" Ling Han came to me and sat down.
