280 Winter Tours
When night fell, a cold wind was already blowing on the Haotian River, and the temperature suddenly dropped sharply.
In this kind of weather, if you lie on the deck in the open air, no matter how strong your body is, you may not be able to stand it.
Fortunately, at this time, many big ships in Haotian already had cabins, and those who needed to spend the night on the river basically drove this kind of boat.
Zhao Hao: They are resting in the cabin at this moment.
A pot of charcoal was burning in the corner, three dumplings were lined up on one side like three warm backrests, and the deck was already covered with several layers of thick sheepskins, and they were covered with all kinds of precious animal skins.
In this case, it is natural that you will not feel cold.
The five of them hadn't slept yet, because Zhao Hao said that he wanted to feel what it was like to spend the night on the boat.
This feeling, how to put it, should be relatively comfortable.
Ah Yue yawned and muttered, "Husband, isn't this very warm?" Why are you worried that they will freeze overnight on their ship? ”
Zhao Hao stretched out his hand, felt the temperature outside the animal skin, and then shook his head slightly and said: "It's actually still very cold in this cabin, but the animal skins we bring are all particularly warm, so I can't feel it, ordinary clansmen don't have such good animal skins, they basically cover sheepskins, and there are not so many of us." ”
In the case of sheepskins, the warmth effect is naturally not as good as these precious animal skins, and if you can't wrap a few more sheets, it is indeed quite cold.
When Ji Rushuang heard this, she couldn't help but worry: "Then what should I do?" ”
Zhao Hao looked at the clay pot in the corner, and then said lightly: "It's not too big a problem, just add a few more pots of charcoal in the cabin." However, this kind of clay pot is not enough, if it accidentally overturns, the whole ship may be burned, we have to make some clay pots with lids, and the lid must be very secure, and it will not be easily kicked open. ”
This kind of thing is not something that a few women can come up with, after all, they don't have as much knowledge as Zhao Hao.
Everyone chatted for a while, and finally slowly fell asleep.
Early the next morning, when the guards who had been scattered to rest on the other two ships returned, the three large ships set off again.
Driving a boat to the south, it is a boat against the current, and the speed is naturally not too fast, and it can travel more than 200 miles at most in a day.
They rowed for most of the day yesterday, and they had traveled more than a hundred miles, and at this time, they were still a certain distance from the Asura Fort.
There was no word until noon, when the group sailed to the place where the Asura Fortress was built.
At this time, Asura Fort was only a prototype, and Ah Hua and the others had just dug the foundation of the city wall, but the city wall had not yet been built.
However, they had already built the wharf, and they had built a wide wooden bridge over the river according to Zhao Hao's request.
It seems that it will take at least ten days for this Asura Fort to be completed, and there is plenty of time.
Zhao Hao only made a brief tour of the place where the fortress was built, and then took Ji Rushuang and others, with three dumplings, crossed the small river, pulled thousands of catties of bamboo shoots and tent hides and other daily necessities, and continued to explore to the south.
At this time, Meng Lan didn't have a little temper, after all, they went to a new place, and there were some novelties, which was still a little attractive to the playful group.
Since they only brought about ten days' worth of bamboo shoots, and they were scattered on the three big sleds, the speed of the three guys was still relatively fast, even if they crossed the mountains and mountains, they could catch up with the speed of Zhao Hao and Ji Rushuang.
It's a pity that because of the wild wolves in this vicinity, the alien beasts are almost extinct, and they have traveled for more than 20 miles, until the sun is about to set, and they catch a sheep monster with a very fast speed.
This sheep monster is only about 500 catties, and if the internal organs and bones are removed, the meat will be more than 200 catties and less than 300 catties, which is just enough for five people to eat a meal, so they don't have to build a wooden frame to smoke the meat, cook all the meat and eat it, and then smoke the internal organs.
After hunting the sheep monster, Zhao Hao found a stream nearby, and then smiled slightly: "Okay, let's rest here today, Rushuang, you go find some firewood, Ah Yun, you set up the tent." ”
At the end of this day, it was really easy, because there were three dumplings to help them pull things, Ah Yun, Ah Yue and Ah Rou not only didn't have to carry the package, but they could even rest on the sled, and he and Ji Rushuang only needed to explore the road in front, and then clear the trees and stones blocking the road, compared to the last time, they were much easier.
It's just a sheep monster, and it's quite simple to deal with, Zhao Hao only took less than half an hour to decompose the sheep monster, and the internal organs were cleaned and salted.
Next it's time to make dinner.
There are many ways to make mutton, and there are many ways to grill it alone, such as roasting whole lamb, roasting lamb shank, grilling lamb skewers, grilling large skewers, grilling small skewers, and so on.
Zhao Hao chose to roast the leg of lamb and grilled skewers, that is, four legs of lamb were directly roasted, the mutton was cut into fist-sized pieces of meat, skewered into large skewers, and also roasted, and other ribs or something were used to cook soup and drink.
The tender lamb cooks quickly, and the bonfire they lit is big enough, and in no time, the big skewers are ready.
Hundreds of catties of mutton, Zhao Hao also wore more than a dozen skewers, one skewer, that is, ten catties, if one person has two skewers, that is more than 20 catties, this time, the five people finally ate a full meal.
Ah Yun, Ah Yue and Ah Rou didn't eat very much, two big skewers of belly, and then drink some mutton soup, they were basically full, the rest of the roast leg of mutton, Zhao Hao ate two, Ji Rushuang ate one, the three of them reluctantly ate the remaining one, everyone was full, and they were almost there.
And the three dumplings also killed hundreds of catties of bamboo shoots while they were roasting and cooking, and they all burped until they were full.
After eating and drinking, and tidying up again, everyone squeezed into the tent with three dumplings and prepared to rest.
The tent they brought this time was a standard tent for a five-person team, and it was originally more than enough for five people to lie down, but after the three dumplings were brought in, it was a little crowded inside.
Of course, squeezing is nothing, this winter, squeezing together is just to keep warm.
Next, the events of the night cannot be described, in short, Zhao Hao feels very comfortable, it is good for the family to go out hunting, no need to worry, no need to worry, and no need to avoid anything.
Early the next morning, they packed up their tents and continued their march south.
This time it was much easier than the last time, there were three balls pulling the sled to follow, and if they hunted anything, they threw it directly onto the sled, and no matter how heavy the prey, they didn't have to pull it.
Ah Yun, Ah Yue and Ah Rou basically only need to sit on the sleigh to coax these three guys, and Zhao Hao and Ji Rushuang are not very difficult to hunt strange beasts and even get close to the existence of divine beasts, basically, one arrow can solve it, and one arrow can't solve it, they are basically difficult to meet.
This family walked through the mountains and mountains so easily, they didn't look like they had worked hard to hunt and explore the way, but like a family of people who had nothing to do and went out for a winter trip.
