Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Liu Yu's poisonous tongue not only did not make Li Wei embarrassed, but made him a lot easier. In Li Wei's opinion, Liu Yu has such a heart, such insight, and such means at a young age, and he will still have it when he grows up? ! Such a genius must be well encircled for the prince!
The three of them took turns to keep vigil for one night, and the next day Japan planned to go out, not wanting to be outside with strong winds and heavy snowfall, making it difficult for people to move an inch.
"What should I do?" Li Wei naturally looked for Liu Yu to get an idea.
"Let's hide in the cave for a few days and wait until the blizzard is over before leaving." Liu Yu waved his hand and retreated into the cave, his tone leisurely, "Blizzard is not necessarily a bad thing, at least when we come out, most of your injuries should be healed, and the snow will become very thick and hard. ”
Yin Zhen couldn't help laughing. He can always find a glimmer of life in the worst environment, and it seems that nothing in the world can make him difficult.
Some of the victims in the cave braved the snow to travel, and most of them chose to stay.
Liu Yu took a few pieces of bacon out to roast it very publicly, ate it with oily mouth, wiped it with his sleeve, picked up the package and walked out, "Go and chop wood, maybe you will have to stay for ten days and a half months, you can't do it without firewood." ”
Yin Zhen wiped his hands slowly with a summer dress contributed by Zhao Dezhu, and threw it into the fire casually, pinned an axe to his waist, and pulled a sleigh to accompany him. Li Wei followed closely with a cane. He didn't dare to stay alone in the cave, without Liu Yu's deterrence, these people might have eaten him alive.
Yin Zhen slashed a few times at the root of a dead old tree, and Liu Yu broke it when he kicked it. The two worked together to cut off the branches and fold them into small pieces. Throw into the sled. Suddenly, a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old ran over, her face was so dark that she couldn't see her facial features, and she didn't speak when she approached. went directly to pick up their branches, picked up a bundle and nodded at Liu Yu, calmly walked away, and ran away from the distance.
"I thought she didn't know how to be afraid." Liu Yu laughed, gave a thumbs up and said, "Have guts, have personality." I like it. ”
Yin Zhen also laughed, and his mood was particularly bright. Skipping this episode, Yin Zhen continued to chop wood. Li Wei helped to clean up and bundle the vines into a bunch, and when Liu Yu finished, he carried the trunk cut into a single directly back into the cave, saving a lot of effort in the future.
The blizzard has been falling for five or six days without stopping, and the wind outside the cave roars like a beast between heaven and earth. The momentum is terrifying. Liu Yu is sitting on a stone wall and sharpening a snowboard. When the snow stopped, I thought that Yinzhen's injuries were almost healed from Li Wei, and they had to be used.
This world has a long history of transporting military rations with sleds in winter and using skis to make surprise raids, so skis are not a rare thing, and the bandits of the Falling Eagle Thousand Hole Rock regard it as the most basic means of transportation in winter. The sharpened skis were polished and smooth by Yinzhen, and Li Wei picked up a few branches to make poles. Other victims followed suit.
"Yu'er, how about this?" Yin Zhen handed over the very smooth surface.
Liu Yu took it. Squinted his eyes at the horizontal line, rubbed his fingertips lightly, and nodded. "Not bad."
"Young Master Lin, the pole is also ready, take a look." Li Wei brought three pairs of poles.
Liu Yu tried the hardness and was a little dissatisfied, but it was really difficult to find a good hardwood in the ice and snow, so he had to give in, so he put the pole head on the flame and licked it.
"Lin Gongzi, why did you burn it? Is it not done well? I'll pick up a few more and redo them later. Li Wei's cheeks flushed, and he looked very cramped. In front of the young man, he always felt that he didn't look like a guard commander at all, but a fool who couldn't do anything well. If he hadn't met the young man, the prince would have been ...... long ago under his escort I don't dare to think about the situation in the hypothesis, and when I think about it, I feel ashamed and embarrassed, and I admire the other party more and more.
"It's not bad, it's just that the clubhead isn't hard enough, and a few pestles don't work. Roasting over a fire will carbonize it and increase its firmness. In the wild, when the iron arrows are used up and can only be replaced with sharpened wooden arrows, the hardness and lethality of the arrows treated in this way will be greatly improved. This is a truth that ancient humans understood, but you are used to relying on iron tools, but you have forgotten it. Hey, you don't understand what I'm saying anyway, just remember it. Liu Yu sighed deeply.
Li Weiyue felt that he had lived to the belly of a dog for more than 20 years. How bad is the environment of this Lin family, so that an eleven or twelve-year-old child can be trained to be omnipotent and omniscient? Do you have to abuse the boys under your command when you go back?
Yin Zhen hung his head and smiled. He had never seen his own guard commander look so stupid.
The other victims couldn't wait as far away as possible from the Little Evil Star, but a group of children with an average age of less than ten years old planted a fire not far from the three of them. The oldest of them was a little girl who was charcoal gray and couldn't see her appearance, and it was estimated that she would not be over thirteen years old based on her size alone. The eldest of the four little boys was no more than ten years old, and the youngest was only five or six years old, including the eight or nine-year-old boy who had originally beckoned Liu Yu into the cave.
My sister was also sharpening a pole, and when she heard this, she hurriedly put the pole on the fire and licked it. Liu Yu has already noticed these five people, they often help Liu Yu pick up firewood these days, and from time to time follow him behind his ass to pick up cheap (that is, some winter bamboo shoots that Liu Yu feels older or fish that feel too fishy), every time he faces Liu Yu's gaze, he will be very polite and very calm to run away, making him cry and laugh and feel extremely interesting.
Do a good job of skis, the firewood is basically used up, the snowstorm outside the cave is blowing, the wind is howling, and I am afraid that it will not be able to stop for three or five days, Liu Yu patted the sawdust on his body, got up and went to pick up firewood outside the cave, Yinzhen wrapped the bear skin on his body and followed out. Li Wei looked around at the hungry and green-eyed victims in the cave, panicked, and hurriedly followed.
The three of them were still together at first, picking them up and separating them, but they were not far away, and they could hear each other when they shouted.
In the heavy snow, dry firewood is really hard to find, Liu Yu felt thirsty all the way, brushed off a handful of snow from the treetops, licked and ate it in small bites, suddenly his ears moved, turned his head to look, and saw that the little girl who often followed him was staggering closer, holding a bundle of dry firewood in her hand.
Liu Yu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why are you the only one this time?" ”
Faced with Liu Yu's attention, the little girl was startled. Unexpectedly, he bowed deeply to Liu Yu. The people in the cave were afraid of this young man, but she was not. In her opinion, this young man was the most defenseless person among the five siblings. He kills, but he doesn't eat people, and he kills people who try to provoke him. He seems to be brutal, but in fact he retains the bottom line of being a man.
The clear eyes looked at Liu Yu deeply, and the little girl said softly in a pleasant voice: "The wind and snow are too big, Xiao He and they are too young to help much......
"I haven't eaten for so many days. Those people in the cave are hungry again, so it's better not to let your brothers out of your sight. Liu Yu slowed down and took the little girl to find Yinzhen and Li Wei. Prepare to go back to the hole.
After eating human flesh and filling their stomachs, the sanity of those victims was returned, and it was really quiet for a few days. However, the blizzard fell for several days. Food is harder to find than before. After tasting the taste of fresh meat, how can they suppress it? Nowadays, many people are ready to move again, and when they look at others, there is always a suppressed ruthlessness and covetousness in their eyes. Even if the little girl had some support, she was a little anxious when she heard the words.
He met with Yinzhen and Li Wei at the entrance of the cave, and before he entered, he heard a terrible scream and the cry of a child. They rushed in, only to see a group of people in the depths of the cave surrounding a woman, as if trying to snatch the eight-month-old baby from her arms. The women were curled up in a ball, even if five or six big men were together. I couldn't break her arm open.
Liu Yu's eyes were bloodshot quickly, and he stepped forward with a wooden stick at the corner of the hole. A muffled thud echoed through the hole. Fang Cai was still showing his teeth and claws, and several fierce men instantly collapsed to the ground, holding their heads and howling miserably, and one was kicked into the crack of the cave wall, and he couldn't pick it out.
"It's okay to eat the dead right under my nose, eat the living, especially children, and I'll throw you out and feed you to the wolves, so that you too can taste the taste of being eaten alive! Do you hear that? He raised his bloodstained stick and pointed at the beast-eyed men. The people who were pointed out hung their heads one after another, and the only remaining trace of humanity struggled in the deepest part of their hearts.
Liu Yu threw away the wooden stick and paced towards his own territory.
The four boys were very clever, and as soon as the elder sister left, she moved to Liu Yu's fire. Although those people were extremely hungry, seeing that they often followed the little evil star in and out, and seemed to have a very good relationship, they didn't dare to touch them. At this moment, they were hugging their sister and staring at Liu Yu with great reverence.
"Yu'er...... You're good. Yin Zhen stepped forward, as if he wanted to say something, but his mouth opened and closed for a long time, and finally only spit out these simple words.
Liu Yu nodded casually, sat down by the fire, stared at the little girl and said, "You brothers and sisters are clever, and you know how to fake a fox and a tiger." ”
The four little boys tugged at the hem of their clothes nervously, but the elder sister was very calm, beckoning the younger brothers to bow deeply to Liu Yu.
Liu Yu smiled a little helplessly, took out a piece of bacon from the package and gave it to his sister and brother: "You will follow me in the future!" Liu Yu is not a casual and kind-hearted person, but he really admires this little girl, and he realizes that these children's qualifications and temperament are good, so he wants to help, after all, he will also need some henchmen in the future.
Liu Yu's statement made the girls and boys extremely happy, and under the leadership of his sister, all five of them knelt on the ground and bowed and said: "Gao Jihuan, Ye Xiang, Meng Xingsoul, Shi Qian, Xiao He see the master's ......"
After chatting with these new slaves, Liu Yu realized that these five people were not relatives or fellow villagers, but orphaned children who Gao Jiwan had treated one after another on the way to escape. In this way, Liu Yu admired Gao Jiwan even more, and even Prince Yong Yinzhen couldn't help but be in awe.
The blizzard still hasn't stopped, and as soon as people go out, their eyelashes will be covered with a layer of white frost, and they may freeze into popsicles if they go far. Liu Yu and his entourage had to continue to stay in the cave. Since Uncle Yu made the rules that day, the refugees in the cave no longer dared to hit their own kind of people, and one of them went crazy that night because he couldn't stand the condemnation of his conscience, stumbled into the blizzard, and disappeared without a trace.
Naturally, there are two crazy ones, and there are many people who run away in 66 years, and when you look at them a few days later, those who can endure hunger and cold and continue to hide in the cave are those who have not eaten their compatriots. They are more sensible, stronger, and more cherished in life, both for themselves and for others.
After seven or eight days of this, Liu Yu's package shrank strictly, and the accumulated food had bottomed out. When the other refugees came out, they also took as much food as they could from the collapsed house and brought it with them, and they used to eat it secretly, and those who left behind after the madmen left behind were pure and good people. The days of helping each other were much better than the previous days.
In the early morning of that day, Liu Yu took out the last few buckwheat cakes and boiled them into gruel with snow water. While stirring, he said, "After breakfast, we will go out to Huai-'an, the food has been eaten, and it will be a dead word to stay any longer." The snow is much smaller, and it doesn't get in the way. ”
"Yu'er has the final say." Yinzhen habitually obeyed Liu Yu's advice.
The splint on Li Wei's leg had been removed, and he was stomping his feet on the side, and he nodded hurriedly when he heard this. "Lin Gongzi said that he would leave whenever he wanted. Hey, the broken leg really grows hey! It's only been half a month! It's a miracle cure! ”
And Gao Jiwan and the five will not object, they have not only eaten enough in the past few days. They have all learned some magical knowledge, and now Liu Yu is really no different from a god in their eyes.
Eight people take small sips of porridge, which is the last food. I can't bear to eat it all.
I don't know when. The blizzard outside actually stopped. Liu Yu instructed Gao Jiwan and others to get a few balls of snow to wipe the bowl clean, picked up the package on his back, tied his skis, and waved his hand without hesitation, "Out." ”
The eight men left the sleds behind and disappeared into the snow with their skis on their hands. Seeing this, the victims immediately followed, and a few of them tripped over their skis and rolled a few laps before they got up. chased Liu Yu away.
Not long after hitting the road, Li Wei began to have frequent problems. Either hit a tree or hit a rock. I was still entangled in a few vines, and I couldn't get up for a long time.
Liu Yu slid over, poked him in the belly with a pole, and said angrily, "Yes, don't pretend to me." You are a rough man who grew up in the north, and you can't even play with skis, who will believe it? Get up, I'll wait for them! ”
Yin Zhen pursed his lips and smiled. Li Wei got up with a grunt, tore off the vines in three or two times, and said gratefully, "Lin Gongzi, I know that you are cold and hot-hearted, and you are a good person!" Anyway, bringing seven is a belt, and bringing a group is also a ......" Seeing the smile on the corner of Liu Yu's mouth, the more evil he became, he gradually silenced himself.
"Okay Yu'er, it's a big deal that their protection money will be credited to my account." Yin Zhen smiled and mentioned. The word protection fee still comes from the other party's mouth, and it is really appropriate.
"Okay, you're on the account." Liu Yu glanced at him, flipped out the map from the package and searched carefully, frowned and said, "Take them to slow down greatly, I'm afraid I won't be able to get to the twenty-eighth shop tonight." There are no caves to stay in, so you have to spend the night in the snow and ice, so be prepared. ”
"With Yu'er here, naturally there is no need to worry." Yin Zhen waved his hand casually.
As he spoke, the victims 6 arrived and saw eight people waiting in the snow, and they all smiled in surprise. They knew how to help each other, and they made a number of simple sleds to drag children or old people, and chased them for miles, but no one was left behind. Seeing this scene full of human feelings, Liu Yu's face was much calmer, and he turned around and continued to walk.
The group walked and stopped, and there were many old and young women and children who needed to be taken care of, and the degree was much slower than expected. Seeing that they were really exhausted, Liu Yu stopped decisively when passing by a small river, and raised his voice, "Okay, I'll camp here tonight!" ”
"But it's cold and snowy here, how can people live? Let's find a cave, right? Someone in the crowd muttered.
"There are no caves nearby. See what I'm doing, just do it, don't chirp. Explain in advance that Lin Gongzi has a very bad temper, and I can't tell who I will chop if my hand slips. Liu Yu said as he untied the firewood knife at his waist and frightened the victims into retreating.
Yin Zhen tried his best to hold back a smile, and after a while, he exhaled a breath of white air, and asked softly, "Yu'er, what should we do?" ”
"Let's build an igloo first." Liu Yu split the hard shell of the outer part of the snow, revealing the soft inner layer, then found a wooden plank, dug it down to the hard ground, and piled the snow into a huge semicircular sphere, which was slapped firmly. Yin Zhen and Li Wei, Gao Ji Wan and others concocted the same method, and the eight of them worked together to pile up the snowball bigger and bigger, and saw that it could accommodate ten people after hollowing out.
After straightening up and seeing the victims looking at him stunned, Liu Yu reprimanded, "Why are you standing stupidly? If you don't want to freeze to death, do it! ”
Everyone only promised, you help me and I will help you, and many huge hemispheres soon appeared in the empty snow, like yurts.
"Alright, sir, by the way, I will add some carbohydrates to relieve fatigue. When the body is restored, go to the river to ice fishing, or hunt a few hares to come back to satisfy your hunger. I'll leave the snowballs on for half an hour. Liu Yu said as he walked towards a cypress tree, used a dagger to cut off a piece of bark, discarded the outermost layer of the lump, tore the softest layer inside, and imitated the style of Bei Ye in the wilderness, and motioned to the victims, "The bark can also be eaten, you should know this." But it's not a simple peel to eat it, but to eat this layer of the softest, where the carbohydrates are the richest, and eating it can quickly replenish the body. Only a little, when peeling the skin, it is not allowed to pick the whole circle, only tear one by one, otherwise the tree will wither in the next year, and then meet the cold weather, where do you find food! There are pines, birches, elms, and all the bark can be eaten. Especially the elm bark, which can be dried and crushed to make elm noodles, that sweet ......."
Everyone followed his example and pulled the bark, and it was really more delicious than swallowing it whole! The cypress bark is a little bitter, the pine bark is astringent and fragrant, the birch bark is crisp and chewy, and the elm bark is slightly sweet! After suffering for so many days, it is like living in heaven at this time.
"I didn't expect the bark to be so delicious!" Yin Zhen sat elegantly in the snow, squinting and reminiscing about the sweet taste lingering between his lips and teeth.
"It will taste better when I process it." Liu Yu instructed Gao Ji to make a fire, and asked Ye Xiang and others to bake a flat stone slab on the stove, and then paste the thin bark on it with their own hands. (To be continued......)
