Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Immortal God-Man
Su Wu looked at the figure of Mei Ga beating the horse far away, and felt very uncomfortable. A woman she didn't know before, when she was injured, she took good care of it, and now she is giving cotton clothes...... His tears rolled out of his eyes, and in an instant, they were frozen outside his eyes
"Brother Su, let's go!" said the errand officer who spoke to him just now.
Su Wu's sleeves pulled down his eyes: "Thank you! Let's go!"
Another: "Brother Su, you really don't know him?"
"Do you know him?" asked Su Wu rhetorically.
He shook his head and thought, this man is what everyone calls an immortal man of God, and even people we don't know help him like this, and we can't neglect him! He introduced himself and said, "My name is Yu, and his name is Juwu. ”
"Okay, the remaining officer, the sentence officer, Su Wu saluted!" he saluted with his hands on his chest.
The two officials hurriedly returned the salute: "Brother Su, we are brothers now, please don't be polite!"
"Let's go, let's get on our way!"
Su Wu walked forward with a scepter in his hand, and the two officials, Qi Yu and Juwu, led the horse behind and followed. Yu Yu said to his companions: "If we go like this, we will all freeze to death, so we might as well find a way to go faster!"
"How do you think you can go fast?" asked Juwu.
"Instead of freezing the sheep to death along the way. Why don't you go to the front, meet the herdsman, sell the sheep, take the money to the place, and arrange to buy another twenty?"
"This is a good way! I'm afraid that Wei Lu will know in the future, and the two of us won't be able to eat and walk around!"
"If you don't say it, I won't say it," Qi Yu pointed to Su Wu in front of him, "He won't say it!"
"That's right, so we can all get on the horse and hurry, and we'll all be there soon!"
On the third day, they passed by a dirt slope, and found a tent and a shepherd's house with a sheepfold, and sold twenty sheep cheaply.
It's a lot faster, but it's too hard. They tried to rest as much as possible at the shepherd's tent along the way, so that the horses could eat and drink well, and the weather was also very helpful. Ten days later, they finally reached their destination, the Bell Sea, in front of a ditch.
This is a no-man's land within a radius of more than 100 miles, and it is even more bleak and desolate after the snow. Except for the small bald-roofed grove at the end of the slope, there was nothing alive in sight, but the weather was good.
Yu Yu helped Su Wu set up tents along the slope and cleaned up his living place. Juwu went to the neighborhood to find sheep, and three days later, Juwu only bought six rams and a bag of grain and rushed back.
The two stayed with Su Wu for one night, and the next morning, they ate something, and when they were about to leave, Ju Wu said to Su Wu: "Brother Su, we will leave all the food we brought to you, enough for you to use until next month, when someone sends food." ”
"Then what will you do on the way back?" Su Wu worried.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and Qi Yu said, "Brother Su, follow you, a god, and God will take care of you, we have arrived half a month early." For the rest of the time, we have already discussed that we will go to the nearby Ding Ling to see our friends, and there will be no difficulties!"
The bleak blue sky, the miserable white morning sun, the howling cold wind. Su Wu stood alone in front of the tent, watching the two officials beat their horses and go away, although he had been mentally prepared for hardships and hardships along the way, but at this time, the blood in his body suddenly froze.
He looked at the empty field, and in the future, he would have to face this long and bone-chilling cold alone, and he couldn't help but shiver in the face of this uninhabited wild place. He wrapped his robe tightly and walked into the tent.
It was warmer inside the tent than outside, but the cold wind tore the tent apart. In the past few days here, I don't feel like I have someone to eat and live with, but now I have to face all this alone, and I am stunned.
At this moment, a gust of wind swept up the tent, wrapped up the frozen soil around the tent, and hit him in the face. He threw himself at the tent and was taken to the ground despite the pain, but the tent was not swept away, but the sheepfold around the branches next to the tent was blown off by the wind, and the sheep were so frightened that they screamed in the cold wind.
Su Wu didn't care about the sheep, and clung to the tent tightly. This is my home here, otherwise I will freeze to death. Half an hour later, the wind stopped when it was tired. He struggled to his feet. Pounding his stiff waist, he stared at the fallen home and the sheep shivering with fright.
Suddenly, one of the sheep broke free and ran frantically along the road, and the rest of the sheep were about to run with him. Su Wu came back to his senses and ran forward to drive the remaining sheep to the root of the slope and block them with temporary branches.
He muttered to himself: "I can't be cowardly, I must find a way to live! They say that I am a man of God, and since I am a man of God, I have a way to build a home." His mind suddenly reflected the image of himself imprisoned in the cellar......
Yes, dig a cellar to keep warm! He took out the buried food in the tent and covered it, and drove the sheep to a sheltered place under the slope and circled them. Pick up the shovels and shovels left by the errand officer, and dig them up under the slope.
The hammer began to fall on the frozen ground, and as soon as he saved a white mark, the tiger's mouth shook and hurt, and he couldn't move a single hair on the ground. What to do...... Yes, fire and water are incompatible, and fire is used to deal with freezing.
Su Wu put the machete on his belt anymore, walked into the grove at the end of the slope with a scepter in his hand, picked up the branches that were carried back one by one, and piled a large pile along the slope, and lit the fire chain with a fire chain......
And it worked. After the large pile of branches burned, more than two feet of permafrost on the ground opened. He struck while the iron was hot, picked up the shovel and shovel, and dried. Most of the soil here is black and yellow, and it is easy to dig after the frozen layer is gone.
Hungry, he eats something and continues to work...... When it was dark, he lit a bonfire until he dug one side of the slope into a gap as wide as a tent more than a foot deep.
He managed to prop up the tent in it, cut down a few thick tree poles and carried them back, put them on both ends of the slope wall to protect the roof of the tent, and put branches on top of it, like a house in his hometown, pressed the top layer of soil, and worked for two days and one night, and the tent house was built that was both windproof and cold-proof.
In the light of the campfire, he looked at his masterpiece and was very pleased. He moved the frozen clods of earth and put them in front of the tent, drove the sheep shivering and bleating into the tent, threw some hay in front of them, and the hungry sheep ate them with a gulp.
After Su Wu blocked the tent door from the inside with a piece of wood, he pulled open the felt mattress and lay down. Although he was very tired and tired, and he didn't want to move after lying down, his mind was very clear and he couldn't sleep.
He thought that thanks to the fact that he had lived with his father, who was the Taishou of Daijun, and had often dealt with Hu instructors, he learned many Hu people's living habits, and learned the ability to deal with things and live independently......
Today's busyness kept me from freezing to death...... Tomorrow I will cut some branches and earth and build a thick wall in front of the door, and make the nest around the ground tight, and cover a circle for the sheep beside it...... Thinking about it, my eyes sank......
