Jing Suqin and his party came out of the snow cave safely and soundly, and after a simple tidying up, they set off on the road again.

It was the huge snowstorm that caused last night to cover all of these roads. Jing Su Qin and they had to reposition themselves and plan their routes. Anything can happen in the snow, so it's normal to re-route your route.

"Big brother, how much more is there to go?" Ye Shufeng stepped forward and asked, "We don't have much food. ”

After Jing Suqin surveyed the route, he got up again: "Save a little, it's almost time to cross the two mountains in front!" ”

Everyone nodded, tightened their clothes and set off again, following the rearranged route and setting off. Such a procedure is not a waste of effort, the direction is the most difficult to grasp in a snowy field, and the slightest carelessness will lead to an abyss.

The five members of the Wind Squad walked quickly through this white snow, and it was early in the morning, with a faint ray of sunlight in the sky, and the temperature was not too cold. But this place is really unbearable.

Everyone said that there should be no one living here in this place. This is because it is difficult to see any signs of biological activity with the naked eye. Not to mention signs of human activity.

At this time, the five of them came to the front of a huge frozen lake.

As everyone watched, the frozen lake was the size of three or four football fields, spanning the surrounding mountains. And if you look ahead, you will see that on the other side of the river is the first mountain range that Jing Su Qin and they want to cross.

And it was only after coming here that everyone just noticed a little sign of life activity. The frozen lake is surrounded by wild grass, and although it is said that some small grass has been eroded by frost, it is better than nothing for such a barren place.

And what makes Jing Suqin most excited is that there is such a big lake here, so will there be fish swimming under the frozen lake?

Fish that live in cold areas often leave their places of existence and come out in search of food in very cold areas. Just like Jing Suqin and them are now, the food they brought on their bodies has been exhausted. If they didn't replenish things in time, they might not even be able to reach the southern border, and they would have starved to death......

"Big brother, what should I do, do you go around or go through?" Ye Shufeng asked after observing the terrain. This huge glacial lake spans the surrounding mountains. Bypassing is the safest way, but it will be much slower; If you cross it, the speed increases, but the danger increases a lot.

Jing Suqin nodded and pondered for a moment: "Across the past!" ”

"Good!" This is also the idea in everyone's mind, if they go around the ice lake, they will reach the southern country in a lot of evening, and then they may have been prepared for a long time, and they will not be able to achieve the effect of surprising victory.

"Gather some dead reeds and light them on the shore, and if we fall overboard, there will be a chance to help!" Jing Suqin said while testing the thickness of the ice lake.

They gathered reeds, burned them with flint, and picked up some dry grass and branches to burn. Then I want to cross the glacial lake.

"Try to spread the weight of your body. Don't let the ice lake weigh too much! Jing Suqin instructed the people behind him while walking on the ice lake. Each time, he first determined a piece of terrain before letting a few people walk there behind him. It's also for their safety.

……

After walking for miles on this glacial lake, the five of them found nothing unusual, and to their delight, they saw large fish swimming under the thick ice. This was a moment of great joy for them, and the sight of these big fish meant that they were finally able to perfect their food without starving.

Immediately, the five of them unanimously decided to open a pit for fishing here.

Since several people were fully equipped, it didn't take long for a hole to be opened in the thick ice. Jing Suqin snatched the chicken leg in Li Yunfang's hand, took a little as bait, and used the steel wire on the equipment to attach it to the gripping pontoon.

When everything is done, he motions for everyone to step back, and he himself retreats towards the back. He knew that if there were humans or other creatures nearby, the fish would sense it by shaking. You won't be hooked easily. Although this knowledge has not been taught by the Scorching Ice Academy, it has all been discovered by Jing Suqin in his life.

That's why he stands out from the crowd. In addition to his natural wit, it is more about Jing Suqin's quality of being studious and inquisitive.

Time flies and never stops.

After a while, it was 10 o'clock in the afternoon, and the temperature gradually rose. There seems to be movement under the glacier lake, and it seems that these big fish have also come out to feed.

Bang Bang Bang Bang ......

There was an impulse under the water, Jing Suqin's heart moved, the strength in this water is not small, it looks like a big guy. Then grasp the 'fishing rod' with one hand. With a strong swing, he danced up, and immediately saw a big fish weighing seven or eight catties flying into the air, and then Jing Suqin suddenly fell on top of the ice lake.

"Hehe, we don't have to worry about eating anymore!" Li Yunfang picked up the big fish and said with a smile. Immediately, the brothers followed Jing Suqin's practice, worked hard to open a pit on the surface of the ice lake, and fished.

In this deserted place, it is also a unique scenery.

……

As the sun set, Jing Suqin looked at the brothers around him who had already gained a lot, and said with a smile: "We should go, it's too late, we need to find a place to live!" ”

"Gone!" Only then did everyone reluctantly set off with the fish they had harvested. Jing Suqin counted it, and these fish were about forty or fifty catties in total. It's enough for them to eat, and there's a lot more.

A few people quickly crossed the ice lake to find it, but fortunately nothing happened. When I crossed the glacial lake again and returned to the ground, it was already the time when the moon was bright and the stars were scarce.

"Don't move!"

However, as soon as the people arrived on the opposite piece of land and came to a mountain col, the situation suddenly changed sharply, and a serious reprimand occurred.

Everyone stopped, and at the same time, several people invariably touched their backs with one hand, ready to attack.

"Who are you?"

Just as a few people were about to attack, this roaring sound suddenly sounded in the darkness again. This time it seems to be a lot less arrogant.

"We're here to play in the Southland, but we accidentally fell into this area, and we're not bad people!" Jing Suqin explained that the reason why he didn't tell his true identity was that he didn't want to expose it, after all, his operation was a high military secret. No one knows about it except for the Northern Rhyme.

"Put your fish on the ground and walk slowly to the front!" The voice sounded again in the darkness.

"Why!" When Li Yunfang heard that he was going to snatch his own food, he immediately became anxious. Then he had to take out his longbow and fight them together.

"Fatty!" Jing Suqin scolded, and then said into the darkness, "Okay, no problem." Although he was very polite, his eyes looked around, and he noticed that there were two small men with bows and arrows standing near the two openings in the col. And at the same time, he also used sign language to transmit his signals to his brothers behind him.

At the same time as the fat man put the fishing net on the ground, Jing Suqin quickly shouted: "Action!" ”

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

Several ringing sounds sounded, only to see Jing Suqin flow out in an instant. In the darkness, I only heard a sound of wind, and I didn't even see the cold light. Such killers are often the most fearsome. Once you attack, it is the most ruthless move. Immediately controlled a small guy to his left. The other was instantly controlled by Ye Shufeng, who was a little later. It's effortless for two people to fight against this little guy at all.

"Say! What are you two people! Ye Shufeng asked scoldingly.

"The two of us areβ€”" Just as the guy on the right was about to speak.

A dark shadow slowly walked out of the mountain col, and then a voice sounded: "In the future, don't hurt the lives of my people." ”

When Jing Suqin heard this, he made a gesture and signaled Ye Shufeng not to be impulsive first, and then asked, "Who is the old man?" ”

At this time, the old man walked out slowly, wearing a robe of coarse cloth clothes, he looked seventy years old, the old man walked to him, bowed slightly to Jing Suqin and said, "The old man has no way to discipline him, and he has disturbed the original guests." ”

Hearing this, Jing Suqin nodded, and then immediately revealed his identity to the old man. It was clear to the old man that they were not locals, and that they were all well-armed and not from the South, so the purpose of their visit was clear.

"It's late at night, so guests might as well go into the old village to rest." The old man said.

Jing Suqin nodded: "Then it's a nuisance." ”

The two of them understood each other's thoughts in their hearts, and the old man's meaning was very clear, that is, he knew that Jing Suqin and the others were all soldiers, and they came with a big mission this time, and they didn't want to provoke them at will and cause death, so they deliberately showed weakness and invited them into their homes. And Jing Suqin's purpose is even clearer, in such a cold weather, they need a family to take shelter from the cold and rest.

The group crossed the col and saw about a dozen families in a very hidden place. I really didn't expect that in such an inaccessible place, there were still people living here.

If it weren't for the sake of hiding from something, or if the era was reluctant to live here and break away from the ancestors, I'm afraid no one would have lived in this place, even if it was for ordinary survival. After Jing Suqin followed the old man into their house, he thought in his heart.
