Chapter 345: Winter Camping

Wang Fan looked at the big cow: "Isn't this cow pulling a little too slow, watching TV and pulling the dog is equivalent to trotting."

"How slow can it be? The speed of the big cow is okay, the most important thing is to bring them, you don't need to find them too much to eat, it is enough to turn over the dry grass under the snow," Ju An explained to Wang Fan.

After listening to Ju'an's words, he nodded: "Then take the cow with you, the more food the dog eats, it takes up more space." The decision was made, and the two of them entered the ranch office, Thomas was preparing to sell the cow, and when he saw Ju An and the two of them coming in, he smiled at the two of them: "Why did you come here together today?"

"Wang Fan and Miles are going to camp, I have made a list to see what is missing," Ju An pulled a chair and sat down, handing the list to Thomas.

Thomas took the list, looked at it carefully for five minutes, and added a few things to it: "Bring anti-freeze hand guards and face cream, the rest is almost done, just remember to bring a warmer mat." Then he handed the list to Ju'an.

Juan took the list and said to Thomas: "That's it, you're busy with you, I'll go and see the ranch now." Seeing that Thomas nodded and continued his work, Ju An took Wang Fan out of the house.

In the next week, Ju An was dragged by Wang Fan to purchase tents, the brand new sleigh is very light, one meter wide and two meters long, the sleigh can be easily lifted with one hand, probably carbon fiber or what material, a total of three were bought, Miles Wang Fan Ju'an each had one, and helped the two of them choose a large pile of messy things such as floor mats.

At noon on the day of departure, the three people of Ju'an wore three sleds like a leather ball with a full of things, pulled by a family of three, followed by Teddy Hans Jinbao plus tiger head garlic and preserved eggs, sorted out the things, Ju An and Wang Fan followed their wives to say goodbye, and drove the sleigh to the white mountains.

The weight of the three sleds was put on the body of the big cow family of three as if there was nothing, the three cows easily pulled the sled, trotting all the way, Wang Fan and Miles stood behind the sleigh and held the handrail and shouted from time to time: "Hurry up!" Hurry up! ”。 The three members of the Da Niu family pulled the sled and began to run on the snow, and the surrounding scenes retreated behind them one after another, and after running for a few minutes, the Da Niu family slowed down, and their noses began to spray white gas.

Ju An said to the two: "Don't rush now, walk slowly for a while, and let a few cows regain their strength." Teddy and Hans Jinbao, who followed behind, had a fight from time to time, and only the three cattle dogs were more dedicated, honestly making scent marks under the tree.

There is nothing to see about the heavy snow on this road, the speed of the three people is much faster than when Ju'an came alone, and when it was time to camp at night, Ju'an determined the location on the map, and actually walked more than one-third of the road last time, according to this speed, tomorrow night you can go to the small stream where Ju'an last visited to spend the night.

The tent was set up, the ground had been frozen as solid as ice, fortunately, Ju'an brought a crank fire axe, let Wang Fan hold the iron drill, picked up the blunt side of the axe and beat the iron drill into the ground, the three tents were erected, put in the cold-proof mat, the warm sleeping bag was tidied up, and Ju An took two people to find firewood.

It is not an easy task to kick away the snow and find the dead tree trunk hidden under the snow, the three of them worked for more than twenty minutes to find a huddle, which is not enough to cook, and returned to the camp with the dry branch, and immediately became happy, Teddy was dragging a large dry branch to the camp, it can't be said to be a dry branch, it is a tree with a thick mouth of the sea bowl, the whole trunk is there, not to mention that it is enough to burn it for one night and a day.

Ju An put the wood in his arms into the camp, touched Teddy's head and praised: "Teddy is such a good comrade". Miles also reached out and touched Teddy's back: "Good, boy!, goods!".

With firewood, Ju An poured some gasoline on the firewood he collected, lit it with an igniter, and then picked up the fire axe and began to chop the branches on the dead tree.

Miles, who was sweating profusely watching Ju An, came over and said to Ju An: "Ann! Let me try it, you go cook". Ju An handed the axe to Miles: "Then you have to pay attention, the branches have been cut down, now cut the trunk into small pieces, don't cut too much, just cut a little five or six knots, and then chop it into firewood." After speaking, his hands gestured.

Miles smiled and said to Ju An: "You still need to teach such an easy thing." After speaking, he picked up the axe and chopped it, Ju An saw that Miles had cut it twice, then shook his head and walked away, each time the distance between the axe was five or six centimeters away, and it took a lot of effort.

Came to the fire, Wang Fan set up the pot together, as for the meat of Teddy, it was cooked at home and brought over, Miles cleaned up some beef hearts and beef intestines, and was roasting next to the fire, on the shelf was a small pot, Ju An took a piece of marinated beef and put it into the pot, added some water brought, and the water in the plastic packaging bucket was put in the middle of the luggage, and it was not frozen along the way, poured half a pot of water, peeled two potatoes and onions, covered the lid and began to stew beef.

After waiting for a while, the sky darkened, Ju An and Wang Fan set up canvas chairs and sat next to the fire to roast the fire. Miles chopped firewood alone, and saw two people roasting the fire and shouting at Wang Fan: "Fan! You come and cut for a while, I'll take a break! It looks easy, but it's really hard to cut."

Ju An smiled when he heard this, got up from the chair and said to the two: "It's better for me to come, I don't know when you two will chop firewood." After saying that, he walked to Miles' side and took the axe: "Put on your coat, don't catch a cold then."

Watching Miles pick up the coat next to him and put it on, Ju An turned the axe and chopped it, and a few axes cut a small V-shaped groove on the trunk, and then gradually this groove expanded, and Ju An cut off a section of twenty or thirty centimeters in more than two minutes.

The whole action went smoothly, and even Teddy Hans and Jinbao ran to the side to watch Ju An chop wood.

Miles looked at Juan and said, "Goodjob!

Wang Fan also walked over after listening to Miles's words, and watched Ju An cut down another tree segment: "Hmm! Not bad! It reminds me of a text I learned when I was in school, and I forgot the name, and there is nothing else! Familiar! ”。

Ju An shook his head and said after listening to Wang Fan's comments on chewing words: "This is the skill of the hand, the first three axes need to be two cars one or two centimeters apart, if they are in a line every time, it is easy to get the axe into it, and it will be much better to cut it into a V-shaped slot."

Waiting for Ju An to cut down five or six tree stumps, and then played a new trick, the cut stump stood directly on the snow, and the stump was divided into two sections with an axe, followed by two or three axes to cut the stump into a wrist-thick ** and firewood about the same size.

Wang Fan and Miles looked at each other and said, "This is a little easier, as long as you have a lot of strength, let me try it!" ”。

Ju An smiled at the two and said, "When I finish chopping, I will leave a wooden stake for you to play with, don't make trouble now."

"One is enough for us to cut, at least two are left," Wang Fan said confidently to Ju An.

"One of you is going to finish cutting it soon, you can't cut another stake yourself, this brain is not for seeing," Ju An shook his head at the two of them and said.

After cutting the wood, let the two of them carry to the edge of the campfire, Ju An handed the axe to the two of them, let them chop and play, Ju An sat on the chair and looked at the two of them for a while and laughed. The stump cut down by Ju An is not flat at both ends, and it stands up with the help of the snow, so that when you drop the axe, you must grasp the accuracy and strength well, or you will get the axe stuck on the trunk, just like Wang Fan and Miles now, of course, Ju An's strength in his hands is also greater due to the space, so that Ju An can easily have two axes.

After watching the two of them chop for two minutes, Ju An lost his interest, turned his head to look at the fire, turned over the food of Teddy, looked at the soft ones, picked them up with a tong, put them aside and shouted to the three Teddy Hans Jinbao next to Wang Fan and Miles: "Come and eat!" ”。

Hearing Ju'an's voice, Teddy ran to the fire, and Tiger Head and Garlic Preserved Egg also followed, divided the food into several small piles, and put it directly on the snow, and Teddy ate it with his head buried in his head.

Waiting for Ju'an's beef to be cooked, the two of them didn't turn the wooden stakes into firewood, Ju'an smiled and said to the two: "Let's eat first, if you are interested, you have the strength to continue playing after eating."

The two people carried the axe back to the chair, and Wang Fan leaned the axe on the edge of Ju'an's canvas chair: "Don't play, we are all doing mental work, and this kind of pushing bricks and cutting stakes will be handed over to you."

Ju An smiled and divided the beef and soup between the two people, and the three of them hugged the bowl and made it to the chair and began to eat.

Wang Fan looked around and the sky while eating: "It's really quiet here!" It's a pity that there are no animals in sight, not even a deer."

Ju An took a sip of hot soup: "Now there is snow everywhere, as long as the deer has grass to eat, besides, you are still ready to hunt when you see the deer."

"Miles and I both have shotguns, and we're going to have a good time," Wang Fan said, fiddling with the beef in the bowl.

"Then you peel the skin yourself, I'm not interested in peeling the deer skin in such a cold day, and I can't stretch my hands with gloves," Ju An said to Wang Fan.
