Chapter 454: Ice Plains Duo
When the day arrived, Yang Xianmao stopped his sleigh and began to set up a tent. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Huang Qiaoqiao did not make a sound and followed to help.
Yang Xianmao set up a tent and was about to set up a second tent, but Huang Qiaoqiao shook his head and said, "No need, let's live in a tent and take care of each other." ”
Yang Xianmao listened to her voice with a slight trill, so she looked at her strangely, and finally understood that she was actually afraid.
For a girl, on this vast and pitch-black ice field, if she was asked to sleep in a tent alone, and Xiuzhen was completely unable to use cultivation spells to protect herself, she was no different from a weak woman.
Yang Xianmao originally had this meaning, but he was still a little worried that Huang Qiaoqiao lived in a tent alone. He always felt that on this endless ice field, although there was no end in sight, he couldn't see beasts or people, but he still had a sense of uneasiness in his heart, and he always felt that it might be better to see Huang Qiaoqiao by his side, whether it was for him or Huang Qiaoqiao.
On such a vast ice field, most people will have a phobia of the wilderness, but only to a lesser extent. And Yang Xianmao also feels this way to some extent. Even if Huang Qiaoqiao is a woman, if there are people around him, he will feel more safe.
Yang Xianmao first untied all the five dog sleds outside, tied them to a wooden stake nailed to the ice, and took the meat cut into small pieces and shared it among them. Dog sledding dogs are key, if the dogs don't have the strength, they can't walk fast on this vast ice field, which will be very dangerous.
After settling the dog, Yang Xianmao got into the tent, and Huang Qiaoqiao had already opened the cover in the tent and divided it into two parts. The tent was not very large, except for the corner where the stove was used to cook things, and the bunks of two people could only be placed next to each other.
A dead wind lamp hung on the roof of the tent, the dim light swaying slightly in the cold wind of the whining ice field that penetrated the tent through various gaps. As Yang Xianmao opened the curtain and came in, a bigger wind and snow rolled in, the lights dimmed a little, and the swing amplitude also increased. It wasn't until Yang Xianmao closed the tent again and tied the ties that the lights were bright again.
Huang Qiaoqiao squatted in a corner of the tent door, where there was a stove, which was specially designed for use on ice and snow, and it burned charcoal, and there was a windproof device, so that the fire would not be blown out in the wind, and it could keep the fire concentrated.
There was a pot on the stove with hot water boiling. Huang Qiaoqiao put the already cut beef in water, added salt and seasoning, and was cooking. At the same time, place two pieces of cooking bread next to the stove to warm up.
Before that, when they were walking on land, they rested on the road, and they lit a large bonfire to keep warm and barbecue. Because firewood can be found on land to make fires. On the ice sheet, there is no firewood at all, so you can only rely on the charcoal you carry.
The charcoal they brought with them was enough for two months, according to the chief. Therefore, they need warm bedding and food more than charcoal fires, and they must leave enough space to carry these things.
Yang Xianmao sat down by the fire, Huang Qiaoqiao didn't look at him and didn't speak. Yang Xianmao naturally wouldn't take the initiative to talk to her, lest her hot face stick to her cold ass.
The two sat like this, Huang Qiaoqiao estimated that the beef was almost cooked, so he opened the lid, picked a piece with chopsticks and looked at it, a little puzzled. The beef is miserable white, I don't know if it's cooked or not.
She looked at it again and again under the lamp, but she was still not sure.
Yang Xianmao finally couldn't help it, and said: "I want to know if it's cooked, don't you know if you take a bite? ”
Huang Qiaoqiao glanced at him, and her pretty face was slightly red.
Whether she is in the Huang Yao Sect or the Heavenly Spear Sect, she is an elite, the eldest lady of a big family, and she has never been in the kitchen. Along the way, she was also careful, secretly watching how to cook meat in the campfire of those coachmen, so she learned the general procedure. Now she cooks the meat by herself. She couldn't wait for Yang Xianmao to be ready for her to eat. However, although the beef cooked for the first time was decent, I still didn't know if it was cooked. Hearing Yang Xianmao say this, of course he was a little embarrassed, so he took the meat on the chopsticks into his mouth and took a light bite, chewed it in his mouth, and frowned.
Why is it that the beef she makes by herself does not taste as good as that cooked by the coachmen? Is it a problem of salt or is the condiment wrong? She obviously saw that the driver who was driving the car added salt and condiments when cooking beef on the road, but she had no bottom in her heart, and she only added it according to her own imagination, and of course the taste was not so good.
Yang Xianmao saw her frowning and knew that something was wrong. I took a piece of beef with chopsticks and tasted it, smiled and said, "If there is less salt, there is naturally no taste." ”
After that, he reached out and grabbed the salt jar, scooped a spoonful of salt into it, stirred it with chopsticks, and after a while, he took another piece of beef out and looked at it, nodded and said, "It's almost now." ”
Although Yang Xianmao's cooking skills are not exquisite, he often cooks to help his mother cook at home during that time, and his cooking skills are still passable under his mother's guidance.
Huang Qiaoqiao reached out and chewed a piece, smiled too, and said, "I didn't expect you to be able to cook, I thought you wouldn't cook." ”
This was the first time Huang Qiaoqiao smiled at Yang Xianmao after seeing him.
Yang Xianmao also smiled and said, "Hurry up and eat, eat and sleep, and we'll leave when we wake up." Here, day and night are almost dark, and there is less than an hour of sunshine. I heard that if you go a little further, it will be dark all day and night, and you will not see the sun again. To sleep in the dark and walk in the dark, you must maintain sufficient physical strength. Now our cultivation can't help, we can only rely on our own physical strength. So you have to get enough sleep. ”
Huang Qiaoqiao nodded, the smile on his face disappeared, silently filled two bowls of broth, picked up a cooking cake and handed it to Yang Xianmao, took one himself and began to eat it silently.
After eating, Huang Qiaoqiao took another big pot, took the ice and snow water, heated a pot of water, washed the pots and bowls, and washed the two of them with hot water.
After washing, the two of them each got into the bed and blew out the light. Everything was quiet, except for the wind howling outside.
After cultivating the truth, Yang Xianmao can be said to sleep when he wants, and he can wake up when he wants. But now, the cultivation mana is no longer able to be used, and he has not tasted insomnia for a long time, and now he has tasted it again. Because he didn't know what kind of hardships and hardships he would encounter this time, he couldn't help but have some speculation in his heart, and he couldn't sleep for a long time.
Huang Qiaoqiao seemed to have fallen asleep, and slept soundly, as if she didn't feel that there was a man lying next to her. This made Yang Xianmao feel a little ashamed, why couldn't he compare to a woman?
So he calmed down, looked at his nose and nose, and began to silently move the five fowl plays.
The Five Fowl Drama that he had begun to correct before quickly took effect, and he quickly entered a state of tranquility, and finally fell into a deep sleep.
When he let out a slight and even snoring sound, Huang Qiaoqiao's eyes opened suddenly, stared at the pitch-black tent top in a daze, then slowly turned his head, looked at Yang Xianmao, and then turned his head again, looking at the night fixedly.
In fact, Huang Qiaoqiao had not fallen asleep before this, but she couldn't bear it and didn't turn over, maintaining a sleeping posture on her back, wanting to give Yang Xianmao a feeling that she was already asleep, and when Yang Xianmao really fell asleep, she breathed a sigh of relief, regained her freedom, and could toss and turn freely.
This was the first time she had slept alone in a tent with a man since she was a child, almost in the same bed, because the two of them were almost next to each other.
This is what she is not used to, and what makes her unaccustomed and makes it even more difficult for her to fall asleep is the unknown future.
She promised to do one thing for Yang Xianmao, and now Yang Xianmao actually took her to the extreme arctic cold to find the water of the River Styx, which is an extremely dangerous journey.
She had only heard of the danger before, but from today onwards, she had really felt the danger on this path. Because of the severe cold, because there is no real maintenance, there may be all kinds of dangers on this road, which makes her panic and how to face it.
Without the cultivation of her body, she felt that her mind had become much more fragile than before, and her worries about the future had increased a lot. It made it difficult for her to sleep.
I don't know how long it took for her to gradually fall asleep after tossing and turning countless times.
Just as she was about to fall asleep, she suddenly heard what seemed to be something outside the tent. The sound was like eating. The voice was familiar, yet unfamiliar. Thinking about it carefully, it seems that when I was a child, I heard the sound of dogs eating meat with bones.
Could it be a sled dog eating?
No, because although Yang Xianmao threw them with bones in the meat before, it was already an hour or two ago, why hadn't they finished eating the meat for so long?
Do these sled dogs want to chew slowly?
She remembers that when she was a child, dogs ate meat, and they were all for fear of being robbed by others, so they swallowed dates. -- Maybe it's gnawing bones. Only by gnawing on the bones, the dog will take the bone to a place where no one is around, lie on the ground, protect it with its feet, and then gnaw it slowly.
But the sound is not like gnawing bones, but like chewing bones. If you can chew the bones, it shouldn't last that long.
The sound went on and on, sometimes in the east and sometimes in the west, sometimes at the same time, sometimes silently, except for the howling of the wind for an hour.
Huang Qiaoqiao really wanted to get up and see what was going on.
But she finally dismissed this idea, and it was dark outside, and there was another storm, and to be honest, it was still a little scary to get out of the tent alone. When she originally reached the sixth level of powerhouse, she was a master of art and bold. And now that he has lost his cultivation, only his body, fists, and martial arts are left, and his courage is much smaller than that of a sixth-level blue qi powerhouse, so of course he doesn't dare to take risks.
Eventually, after an hour, the voice died down completely.
Huang Qiaoqiao calmed down and fell asleep deeply.
