Chapter 69: The SnowRoom That Is Extremely Hard to Obtain
"Then we'll go first, old Gangde. Zhao Zhuo said.
"Good. See you tomorrow. Gangde got up to say goodbye to everyone and sent them out of the house.
On the snow road,
"Grandpa, do we need to do anything to prepare for tomorrow's hunt?" Gu Fan asked. As the saying goes, 'be prepared'.
"Rest well, then be prepared to sleep in the wilderness. Zhao Zhuo said.
Gu Fan and Wei Qianyi nodded when they heard this. This hunt can be said to be a very important test in their lives.
Not only were they nervous, but Gu Jiancheng and Gu Jianli's hearts were also sweating for them, anything could happen in the hunt.
It is even possible to come back and raise your hand to the table not only the carcasses of animals, but perhaps yourself.
This is what Gu Jiancheng and Gu Jianli saw with their own eyes. A Kochi man who was thrown out of his stomach by an ice bear during a hunt was carried on the barbecue grill by the Kochi at night.
At that time, the two Gu Jiancheng brothers were shocked by this scene. Even if they were iron-clad men, their stomachs couldn't help but feel sick at that time.
It wasn't until later, through Zhaozhuo's mouth, that it was learned that this was a tribal tradition. Even the dead will be proud of it.
Maybe only such an extreme environment can give birth to such extreme customs, right?
After everyone returned to Zhaozhuo's snow room, they saw that it was not too early, so they all packed up and prepared to sleep.
"You two children are sleeping, and I will draw a curtain for you. Zhaozhuo said after flipping through the cabinet and hanging a curtain on the snow bed.
"It's... Do you sleep on the snow?" Wei Qianyi didn't worry about where she slept at the moment, because everywhere was the same for her, it was cold snow.
"There's a sleeping bag, huh. Zhao Zhuo took out two leather sleeping bags from the cabinet and threw them to Wei Qianyi and Gu Fan.
"Qianyi, you have to work hard. When you get the money for the hunt, you can hire someone to build you an igloo. Gu Jiancheng sat on the edge of the bed and teased.
"Let's make a bet with them. At this time, Gu Jianli walked over and scolded Gu Jiancheng and said.
"What bet?" Gu Fan asked curiously. I thought to myself: "These two old boys have a lot of bad water, and they never make a loss-making business." You can't put it on the trap!"
"If you can make money to build an igloo in one, we'll help you go out hunting. Gu Jianli hugged his chest and smiled.
"Then what if we lose?" Gu Fan asked.
"If you lose, you will share half of the fruits of all your hunting in a month!" Gu Jiancheng said loudly.
"Half..."Gu Fan was a little hesitant when he heard this, because he didn't know what the cost of building this snow house was, so he couldn't agree to it.
"Alas, young people nowadays have no flesh at all. It's going to be a big bet with the two of us seniors. Gu Jianli sighed after hesitating when he looked at Gu Fan.
"That's it, go to sleep. Seeing this, Gu Jiancheng sang and cooperated.
Gu Fan thought to himself: "You two are elderly... , that physique is tougher than that of teenagers. ”
"Okay, we agreed!" Wei Qianyi thought about it for a while, and then readily agreed!
"Haha, refresh, sleep, sleep. Gu Jiancheng laughed loudly and got into the sleeping bag.
"You two are going to pit the child's ability..."Zhao Zhuo said helplessly on the side.
"Grandpa Zhaozhuo, how much does it cost to build a snow house?" Gu Fan knew as soon as he heard Zhaozhuo's tone...
"Not much. It's just a whale. Zhao Zhuo said in a flat tone. After saying that, he closed the curtain between them, and went to bed and got into his sleeping bag.
"What!" Gu Fan's jaw almost fell to the ground in shock when he heard the sound, whale? Where is this still playing? Besides, isn't it just to build a snow house? As for the harsh conditions?
"Do you know why?" Gu Jianli didn't go to bed at this moment, he sat on the chair and asked with a smile.
"I don't know, master, aren't you fooling the two of us?" Wei Qianyi said mournfully. Originally, she thought that the master would definitely not cheat the apprentice...
"Who asked you two about this? I said, do you know why a whale is needed?"
"I don't know. Gu Fan shook his head in unison and said. After speaking, they gathered around Gu Jianli and sat down.
"Because, this igloo is made by an extraordinary snow crystal. Didn't you notice that when you first came, Uncle Zhaozhuo's stove didn't affect the house at all?"
"Hey, it seems to be. Wei Qianyi remembered when she sat on the stove and ate roast venison, indeed! The fire was so hot that the house was fine!
"Snow crystals can only be collected under the ice field. The door to the ice field needs to be opened or not. That's why you need a whale to give you a meal, hehe. ”
"Oh, I know, 'eat people with short mouths', haha. Gu Fan suddenly realized, if it weren't for the uncle who said this, he really couldn't have thought of this. Sure enough, it's not just the weather here that is strange about the ice!
"Alright, go to sleep. Wake up early tomorrow. After saying that, Jian Li also went to bed.
Wei Qianyi also went to bed and lay in the innermost part of the bed.
Gu Fan looked at Xiao Hei on the side, since he came back from wandering, he fell asleep in a circle.
"Didn't you say that the dog slept late? Why do I feel like this thing has been sleeping since I met him? Forget it, no matter what it is, sleep. ”
Gu Fan got on the bed and lay beside Qianyi, looking at her charming side face, and gradually fell asleep.
The next day, early in the morning.
"Hey, hey, hey, get up!" A rough male voice woke up Gu Fan and Wei Qianyi.
Gu Fan sat up with his eyes closed, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and asked in a daze, "What time is it?"
"Give you both a minute. Otherwise, you should prepare to chase the sleigh on foot!" Zhao Zhuo strode out.
Gu Fan and the others knew that the situation was not good, so the two got up in a hurry, quickly put on their shoes and chased out.
And Gu Jiancheng's brothers were still snoring like thunder. There is not the slightest sign of waking up...
After Gu Fan and the others went out, they saw more than ten teams of sleds in front of them. Densely packed with Kochi.
All of them were ready to go, each holding a shuttle stick that was as tall as their figures.
The body of the shuttle stick was brown, and the tip of the stick was inlaid with a long, snow-white bear tooth.
"Take it!" said Zhaozhuo, who was waiting for them in the sleigh, and threw a shuttle stick to Gu Fan and the others.
"Grandpa, we've got weapons. After Gu Jian took the shuttle stick, he only felt that he was very unaccustomed to being light, so he said.
"Follow the customs! Go to the sleigh and listen to the village chief!"
"Wow, okay. So saying, the two of them hurried into the sleigh.
I saw yesterday's grandfather Gangde, dressed in a snow-white bear coat, walked to the middle of the sleigh team.
In a deep voice, he said: "Clansmen of my tribe, today our guests will bring two little VIPs to our hunting feast!"
"Oh!oh!" all the Kochi people in the snowfield greeted their guests with their sticks in their hands.
