Chapter 137: Cabin in the Woods
After lunch, the two continued to get in the car and walked forward, out of NJ County, and then drove more than 100 kilometers north, GPS showed that Xu Xiaobai had entered the territory of NMG. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info he also fluted a little, and said in his heart that he went north, how could he drive to the grassland?
After glancing at the map, I realized that in the northernmost part of China, the two provinces of NMG and HLJ are bordering each other, and jointly divide the Xing'an Mountains region, but people's habitual impression is that NMG is grassland, and the north of HLJ is forest, which creates the illusion that Xing'an Mountains are part of HLJ. To the east of NMG is the western part of the Xing'an Mountains, which also contains a large number of forest resources.
Xu Xiaobai didn't care about the provincial boundary, he continued to drive forward with his head stuffy, and sure enough, he didn't drive out for long, and returned to the territory of HLJ. As the car drove into the afternoon, the snow on the road ahead quickly thickened, and finally after another while, the car was stuck in the snow and struggled.
Xu Xiaobai gently woke up Xiaoqing, who had already fallen asleep in the passenger seat, and the latter rubbed his eyes and asked, "Why don't you open it?" β
"The car got stuck in the snow and we had to get out." Xu Xiaobai said.
He got out of the car and checked, the car was not deep, a little more horsepower could drive out of the snowdrift, but it was definitely impossible to drive further, the car would be trapped everywhere in front of him.
He moved the car to the side of the road, took out the anti-theft lock from the trunk, locked the car firmly, and beckoned Xiaoqing to get out of the car and move forward. Within a few steps, both men's shoes were stuck in the snow. Xiaoqing is weak, afraid of cold, and shivering with movement. Xu Xiaobai hurriedly exchanged two thick down jackets and two cold-proof pants from the supermarket system, and put them on the outside for himself and Xiaoqing, which made him feel better. The shoes were wet and couldn't continue walking, so Xu Xiaobai exchanged two pairs of snow boots for them, and the two walked forward step by step.
"We are still more than 200 kilometers away from your hometown, and it is not a way to go on like this." Xu Xiaobai walked with his head bored while talking to Xiaoqing. The snow is five or six centimeters, and it takes a lot of strength to take every step, Xu Xiaobai has a long strength, so he naturally doesn't take this matter to heart, but Xiaoqing can't, and he is already tired and out of breath after taking a few steps.
Xiaoqing's hometown is in a small village under TH County, when she came out of the village, she first took a plow to the county seat, and then took a long-distance bus from the county seat to Shenyang, according to her, only in the summer and early autumn of the year there are buses departing, and the rest of the time the snow covers the mountains, and the buses can't go out at all. She struggled to walk and said, "Is there anything you can do about it?" Don't you be able to conjure anything, why don't you come out with a dog sled? β
Xu Xiaobai was funny when he heard it, and he had never heard of any supermarket that sold dog sleds, and he naturally couldn't change things that were not sold in the supermarket. But if you think about it, the supermarket sells pets, and you can exchange them for a few Alaskan Malamutes, and the supermarkets also sell sleds, and you can exchange them for two more sleds, and you're all there. But of course he knows that not all dogs will obediently pull a sled, and if the dog recognizes the owner, he will exchange two dogs casually and want to command them smoothly, but he is afraid that it is a fantasy.
Fortunately, he was prepared. He pulled out something he hadn't used for a long time from the pocket he was carrying, it was a helmet with three short leaves on top of itβa bamboo dragonfly.
Xiaoqing watched curiously as Xu Xiaobai put this strange thing on his head, not knowing what moth he was going to produce. Xu Xiaobai exchanged a few paratrooper ropes and safety belts for rock climbing from the supermarket system, and tied Xiaoqing's body firmly to himself. Xiaoqing was a little shy, but when she thought about it, both of them were wearing thick down jackets, and they wouldn't feel anything even if they were tight.
Xu Xiaobai tied the paratrooper rope tightly and said in Xiaoqing's ear: "You hold it firm, don't be afraid." β
"What are you going to do...... Ahhh The blades of the bamboo dragonfly rotated rapidly, pulling the two into the air, Xiaoqing, who had never felt flying in her life, immediately exclaimed, and only stopped shouting under Xu Xiaobai's unstoppable persuasion, and looked at Xu Xiaobai blankly.
"Don't scream, I'll fly you." As he spoke, he manipulated the bamboo dragonfly to fly quickly into the sky in front of him.
"I'm dreaming! You're actually a robot cat! After Xiaoqing overcame her initial fear, she immediately felt that flying in the air was the most amazing feeling in her life. However, she was still a little scared after all, she hugged Xu Xiaobai's waist with both hands, and refused to let go of the hug firmly, for fear that if she accidentally fell down, her little life would be explained here.
With the strength of the paratrooper rope and the firmness of the carabiner, Xiaoqing has no problem with this weight. Xu Xiaobai let her hold for a while, raised the bamboo dragonfly to a height of fifty meters, flew forward at full power, stabilized at a speed of eighty kilometers per hour, flew out for a while, estimated that Xiaoqing's freshness had passed, and then said to her: "Let go, no problem, you are about to strangle me." β
Xiaoqing hesitated to let go of her hand, and found that she really didn't fall, she couldn't help but smile, and couldn't help but smile, looking at the surrounding scenery, the tall pine trees were towering at her feet, as if rows of soldiers standing tall were saluting her and Xu Xiaobai.
"If you have this good thing, don't tell me sooner, at this speed, we can get to my house in two hours!"
Xu Xiaobai is not so optimistic, the bamboo dragonfly is going to be charged, and now its power is fully charged, but because it bears the weight of two people, it is estimated that the power will be cut off in an hour, and no matter how to fly forward then, he has no spectrum at all now. We'll have to talk about that time. Maybe you can happen to meet a family on the road and borrow the socket in their home to charge it, but in such a remote place, whether there is a home and whether there is electricity in someone's home is difficult to say.
About an hour later, Xu Xiaobai took Xiaoqing to land slowly, the power of the bamboo dragonfly was about to run out, he saw a small wooden house looming in the forest in front of him, so he landed, hoping in case that maybe there would be people and charging sockets in this small cabin.
Xiaoqing saw the cabin, but felt that it was probably useless. She said that this kind of cabin is not a place where people live all year round, and it is usually a place where hunters go to the woods to hunt in the summer and occasionally stay. The people here follow a principle that has been handed down since sometime, no matter who built the wooden house, as long as someone passing by here needs accommodation, they can enter and live, and the door of the wooden house will not be locked. Of course, there may not be food in the huts, and the hunters have to rely on their own skills to hunt in the woods to feed themselves.
Looking at the sky that had darkened, Xu Xiaobai was very strange, in order to confirm that he didn't remember the wrong time, he also glanced at his watch, and saw that it was only about three o'clock in the afternoon, why was it getting dark. Xiaoqing laughed at him for being rare and weird: "Stupid, this is the polar night!" β
After being reminded by her, Xu Xiaobai suddenly realized. The latitude here is already very high, although it is still half a Russian country away from the Arctic Circle, but the difference between day and night is already very obvious, and it is normal for the sky to be dark at three o'clock in the afternoon in this month.
He took the bamboo dragonfly, went up and knocked on the door, and sure enough, the door opened as soon as he pushed it. This is a very small wooden house, but ten square meters square, there is a small kang in it, a small table is placed on the kang head, probably used for eating, there is some black ash under the kang that has not been cleaned, looking at the dust of the house, both of them feel that no one has come to live in this house for at least two months. Indeed, it is the season of heavy snow and the people will not come out to hunt at this time.
He cleaned the house a little, and Xiaoqing also helped to get it. Although the child was not very old, she was very skillful in doing these jobs, and probably the children of the poor were in charge of the house, and she began to help the family with this kind of chores from a very young age.
Xu Xiaobai searched around the house, and sure enough, he didn't find any traces of modern electrical appliances, nor did he find the socket, in fact, if he found it, it would be hell, this cabin is just a place for hunters to rest, who would go all the way to pull a wire for this house alone.
He searched the supermarket system, exchanged for a steaming roast duck, exchanged five or six steamed buns, and a few candles, took out a lighter to light the candles, and sat around the small square table with Xiaoqing for lunch and dinner. Because of the cold weather, their calories are consumed quickly, and what they have eaten at noon has been digested by this time. Listen to Xiaoqing's meaning, in winter, the people in their family eat two meals at noon and at night, each meal must be extremely greasy food to meet the day's caloric needs, and no one will move, everyone is lying on the kang, burning firewood under the kang, just such a day, playing cards and mahjong on the kang, the locals call this Maodong.
Of course Xu Xiaobai doesn't know how to cat, he doesn't have that time, but now it's dark, the two of them ate a whole roast duck, they have goods in their stomachs, and their bodies are no longer so cold. But thinking that it would be colder at night, and that there was no heating in the cabin, he had to find some firewood to light the kang.
There's no such thing as firewood in a supermarket system. He's going out to find it.
He turned around and went out, grabbed two handfuls of snow from the ground to clean the greasy fingers that were made by the roast duck, Xiaoqing also learned his movements to wash his hands, but he shivered coldly, she didn't have Xu Xiaobai's hardy ability. Next to the wooden house is a forest, and the pine trees in the forest look a little scary in the dark night scene. Xiaoqing had been following Xu Xiaobai closely, for fear that something terrible would come out of the forest.
Xu Xiaobai naturally didn't go far, he looked at a relatively thick pine tree, picked up the fire axe he exchanged from the supermarket system, and began to cut down the tree. He had enough strength, and the axe, though not very sharp, cut down the tree in three or two blows. The trunk of the tree fell with a whirl, startling many small animals in the forest. Xu Xiaobai stepped on the trunk of the tree, and began to chop the wood little by little, this job seems simple, but it is very difficult to really chop, even if he has the strength, he has never done this work, and it took nearly half an hour to split the wood into relatively small pieces. He carried a few pieces into the house, exchanged a tank of gasoline from the system, poured it on wood, stuffed it under the kang and lit it.
With a bang, the flames rose high and began to burn. Within a few minutes, the room began to feel warm, and gradually it became as warm as spring. With the burning of firewood, the house was lit up.
