Chapter 698: Snow Leopard Reappears
Ten minutes later, Yalei, who walked to the back of the snowdrift, returned again, although the clothes on his body had not been changed, but the wounds on his shoulder and left finger had been bandaged, but he was simply wrapped in a strip of cloth, a very thin layer, which seemed to have not even been applied with a little medicine, and Su Xinyuan and Mu Ningxue kept frowning.
I thought that these mountain people had their own way of dealing with their wounds, and it was not convenient to spread the word, so Yalei deliberately hid in the shelter of the snowdrift to treat the wounds by himself.
Now it seems that this is not the case at all, they actually directly wrapped the wound with a strip of cloth, this way of treatment, but also fortunately the surrounding environment is in the cold snowy plateau, the wound clots quickly, plus there is little inflammation, so the wound should deteriorate very little, otherwise, if it is in a general place, I am afraid that it will become inflamed after a few hours.
However, although there is no need to worry about inflammation, but without the effect of medicine, the recovery speed of the wound is obviously still very slow, thinking of this, Su Xinyuan tactfully expressed to Ya Lei that several of them have brought some medicine on them and can provide it to him for free.
To his surprise, Ya Lei actually refused with a smile for his kindness, and said that he really didn't need medicine for this injury, and if Su Xinyuan and the others successfully completed this trip to the snowy region by then, their medicine could be left with some other items and sent to the villagers in the village, where there are some children and old people who need these things.
Looking at his innocent and simple smile, Su Xinyuan and the others couldn't help but be in awe, what a simple young man, he was reluctant to use medicine even if he was injured, so he had to save these things for the elderly and children in the village, this kind of thing is estimated to only exist in this kind of people's gentle mountains, and it is rare to hear it in modern cities.
Although Su Xinyuan persuaded again, Yalei still insisted, and, looking at his physical state and mental state, it seems that he is really good, probably because he is young and has been hunting in the mountains all year round, so his physical foundation is excellent.
Since this is the case, Su Xinyuan did not continue to insist, and gave up the matter with a light smile.
What's even more surprising is that Su Xinyuan originally proposed to rest here for a night, so that Yalei's injury can be better before moving on, but the latter strongly objected, saying that it is only afternoon, if you rest so early, it will be too much time wasted, and although there is a small snowdrift here, the geographical location is not very good, he knows that there is a natural ice cave group under a hillside in front of him, and the entrances of several adjacent ice caves are very small, but after entering, it can accommodate a few people, and it is one of the best campsites on this mountain.
With the speed of Su Xinyuan and his party of six, they were able to get there just before sunset. At that time, you can choose two or three ice caves to rest, and you don't have to worry about the invasion of plateau beasts at night.
Hearing his words, Su Xinyuan and the others stopped insisting, and soon walked slowly in the direction of the ice caves with Yalei.
A few hours later, near sunset, a small hill appeared in front of him, and Yalei led a few people straight down the hill.
After a short while, there were several entrances to the ice cave on the leeward side of the hillside in front of them, the entrances were only for one person to drill into, but after entering, it was the size of a bedroom, but it was a natural haven, and the temperature inside the ice cave was a little higher than outside, if there was no high snow cover behind this hillside, even if there was an avalanche, the snow that slipped would not cover the area where the ice cave was located.
Su Xinyuan and the others checked the situation in the ice cave, and were very satisfied with it, and decided to set up camp here tonight and rest for a while.
There are four ice caves, one large and three small, the big one is the size of a bedroom, which can put three or four single sleeping bags for cold and waterproof, and the small one is also three or four square meters, and two people can squeeze it and settle down in it.
Yalei naturally lives alone in an ice cave, just outside the outermost, his sleeping bag is provided by the strong man of the detective group, after all, although these mountain people also have some things to protect themselves from the cold, but compared to this kind of high-tech single sleeping bag made by modern society, it is still much worse.
For this sleeping bag, Ya Lei obviously liked it very much, it was much more convenient than the things he had brought before, so while laying out the sleeping bag in the ice cave next to him, he happily said that if Su Xinyuan and his party completed the task and left, among the materials left behind, these sleeping bags would make the villagers happy for a long time.
This kind of simplicity suddenly made Su Xinyuan and the others laugh again, looking at each other and smiling.
As for Su Xinyuan's five people, Lixiang, Luo Jiu, and Tang Xin lived in the largest ice cave, while Su Xinyuan and Mu Ningxue were crammed into a small ice cave, which could just hold two sleeping bags.
After setting up the sleeping bags, it quickly got dark, and a group of six people sat on a small slope in front of several ice caves, nibbling on dry food and some dried meat, chatting casually.
In this process, Su Xinyuan suddenly found that the strip of cloth wrapped around the injured finger of Ya Lei's left hand was gone, and when he saw that he was holding the dried meat in his left hand and biting, he didn't even seem to see the wound, which made him stunned for a moment.
However, he quickly reacted, perhaps because his vision had been affected by the white environment of the snowy area all day, so that it was possible that he had seen it wrong just now.
With this thought, Su Xinyuan looked at Yalei's left hand again, only to find that the other party had changed the dried meat to his right hand, and the free left hand was inserted into the pocket of his clothes. This is also normal, Su Xinyuan and the others did the same, after all, it is on the snowy plateau, and if the hands are often exposed, it is easy to get frostbite.
Since he didn't see it, he didn't continue to dwell on this problem, after all, it was only a few hours before Yalei was injured in the afternoon, and although the wound on his hand was small, it was impossible to say that it would heal completely in a few hours, so he was definitely wrong just now.
Soon, Su Xinyuan forgot about this matter, and a few chatted while eating dry food and dried meat, and soon nearly an hour passed, and the night on the snowy plateau was very cold, and the wind gradually picked up outside, and Lixiang and the others were a little unable to bear it, so everyone got up, returned to the ice cave, and got into the sleeping bag.
Although they were very tired physically after walking hard all day in the snowy region of the plateau, Su Xinyuan and Mu Ningxue's sleepiness was not strong, and the two of them lay in their sleeping bags and chatted for a while before they felt fatigue attack and slowly fell asleep.
Although they are in the snowy wasteland, with the strength of Su Xinyuan and the others, if there is really any danger approaching at night, even if they are asleep, they will be able to detect it somewhat, so the sentry at night and the like will naturally be tin.
When he woke up again, it was already the next morning, Su Xinyuan opened his eyes, turned over and sat up from his sleeping bag, and then Mu Ningxue on the side also woke up, the two looked at each other and smiled, and began to pack their sleeping bags and bags.
And there are also voices coming from the ice cave next to it, and it is estimated that Lixiang, Luo Jiu, Tang Xin, and Ya Lei in another Xiaoice cave are also the same, packing up.
After a while, the group of six people came out of the ice cave where they were resting, and their bags were all twisted in their hands, so they only needed to wait for breakfast and then go on the road immediately to continue today's search operation.
As soon as she sat down on the small snow slope in front of the ice cave, Tang Xin, a girl with sharp eyes, suddenly got up and pointed towards a mountain peak in front of her on the right.
Several people were stunned, and then they turned their heads together to look over, because the whole world is white, so the sense of distance is very poor, everyone can't guess how far the little red dot is, but it is about a few hundred meters, if such a distance is placed in other places, for Su Xinyuan, these strong people, even a single hair on the ground can almost be seen clearly, but at this moment in this white snowy area, their vision has been affected, and they can only vaguely see that it is a living thing that is not small. It's really heading this way, but it's impossible to know what it is.
As for Ya Lei among the six people, all he could see from such a distance was a small red dot, which was even worse than Su Xinyuan and the others, so he was silent and did not speak.
A few minutes later, the other party got closer, and at this time, Su Xinyuan saw it clearly, it turned out to be a snow leopard, and, judging from the fur on its body dyed with snow, it was most likely the one that was injured in Yalei's hands yesterday, but he didn't expect to see it here again.
The snow leopard also had a meter-tall snowfield animal in its mouth, which looked like a deer, and its skin was also white, but it was spotted and apparently dead.
After another ten minutes, the snow leopard with a spotted white deer in its mouth finally came to the front of a few people, and the distance was only a few tens of meters. But he didn't speak, just quietly watched the snow leopard getting closer and closer, to see what it wanted to do.
Surprisingly, the snow leopard stopped when it was seven or eight meters away from a few people, and then threw the spotted deer in its mouth to the ground, and after whimpering a few words at Mu Ningxue, he turned around and reluctantly left.
It wasn't until its red-blooded figure disappeared into the distance that everyone reacted, and their eyes fell on the spotted deer that had been thrown down by the snow leopard.
"I can actually hunt for food, it seems that it is recovering well, it finally reassures me......" Mu Ningxue's expression was complicated, muttering to herself, the most concerned was the body of the snow leopard, seeing that it was all right just now, she finally relieved her heart at this moment.
And Luo Jiu walked in front of the spotted deer, touched it with his hand and said: "Ning Xue, this deer's body is still hot, obviously just died, the snow leopard is a grateful retribution, specially given to you, we have hot soup to drink......"
