Chapter 80: Difficult
The ice surface of the Yangtze River was finally completely sealed after another heavy snowfall.
Lin Ji and others stayed in Tiger Woodside for two days. Lin Ji took out a lot of tools from the small town to give Sheng Scale, and helped them reorganize the organizational structure of the tribe, and did a mobilization of everyone to keep warm for the winter, and then set out on the journey.
After each person has a set of cotton clothes, there is a meat emergency stored in front of them, as long as they are not lazy in the back, it should be no problem to spend this winter. Lin Ji and the others also walked with peace of mind.
After hitting the road, there were still eleven people in the team. In addition to wearing armor, another fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl named Duyan was selected to accompany him. This is because Dai Jia doesn't understand Human's words, and Lin Ji and the others can't communicate with him, so they can only bring a translator.
Du Yan is a person close to the old man of the Tiger Forest, and she is also relatively talented in language, so she has learned to speak fluent Tiger Barbarian.
In addition, under the influence of Hu Yi'er before, she learned archery, and now she is also the best archery among the tiger forest women, which is somewhat of a civil and military meaning.
She has good facial features and a cheerful personality, which makes everyone's journey more fun.
During the journey, Lin Ji strictly controlled the affairs of men and women, which was quite novel for this kind of little girl who was just beginning to fall in love. Along the way, she pestered the more speculative Zhu Monkey to ask questions, asked Ji Lin all kinds of things, learned Ji Lin's accent and even Mandarin, and even asked Zhu Monkey to learn the accent of Hu Lin Ban from her, saying that it was convenient to communicate with Dai Jia.
When everyone saw that this was the case, they naturally laughed at Zhu Monkey. Zhu Monkey was young, and he was a very thin-skinned person, so he was completely annoyed by her for a day and had a big fight with her.
As a result, after being persuaded on both sides, the girl cried and wanted to go back to the tribe noisily.
Men in this era will please women, but coaxing them will not at all. It is even more impossible to ask Zhu Hou, a "reasonable" person, to apologize. Instead, he blamed this woman for not knowing the discipline of travel at all, and wanted to be a deserter at every turn, and then took advantage of this to say that women were useless and so on.
In this way, the two are completely deadlocked. After that, the two of them didn't speak again, and their eyes would be accompanied by a cold snort.
There are more happy couples on the road, which adds a lot of fun to the journey.
But since leaving the Tiger Lynbal tribe, the journey has become more and more difficult as the weather gets colder. All kinds of situations that have not been encountered before have appeared. As if to prove the armor claim.
On the first night of the tiger forest grouper, the team was attacked by a Siberian tiger. Fortunately, the wolf dog raised the alarm in advance, and at the same time pounced out to block it for a while, so that the people behind could react. In the end, the tiger was driven away, and the wolf dog was also scarred and his front leg was broken.
Lin Ji was reluctant to throw it away, so he could only let Xiaobai walk on the ground, bandage it, and let it lie on the back of the baby elephant to hurry.
Then the team moved forward, and there was such a thing as getting lost.
At this time, the Yangtze River, especially near the downstream of these places, is full of lakes and rivers. Sometimes people walk along the ice, and it is completely impossible to tell whether they are walking on the surface of the river or entering the lake by the river.
Lin Ji and his party walked to a lake in one day, and after walking for most of the day, Lin Ji corrected the direction and found that it was a little far off.
On the way out of this lake, everyone finally met a tribe.
But the tribe had apparently eaten up their winter's stockpiles, and when they saw Lin Ji and his party, they pounced on them as if they had seen flies and carrion.
Fortunately, the tribe is small in number. The two of them rushed back and forth to kill on the forest trail, and they scattered the people who rushed out.
In this process, Du Yan also performed, although he did not participate in the killing, he also protected the baby elephant wolf dog in the back, and shot a few people, proving that he was not useless.
Having killed the warriors of the tribe, Lin Ji rushed into the tribe, sneaked some of the people inside, and showed them a few sketches.
This is the portrait of Hu Yi'er, Pi Jiao'er, Pingli, and Jiao Ke painted by Lin Ji. It is also the biggest reliance of Lin Ji to find a few people.
Seeing that they didn't know the image in front of them, Lin Ji and the others killed their leaders and left.
After coming out of this tribe, the red monkey took a white fox skin from this tribe and apologized to Duyan. Du Yan naturally snorted coldly. However, on the second day, everyone still saw Duyan tie the fox skin around his neck.
Further on, the team got bogged down in the overheated mire, the broken ice, and encountered more beasts, more tribes, and more fighting.
But along the way, there was still no news from Hu Yi'er and the others.
By noon, the weather had changed abruptly, and a snowstorm could come at any time, and the wind had blown up the snow on the ground.
Lin Ji immediately decided to look for a leeward place to camp, but when he looked around, they actually walked into an open ice field again, and there was no shelter in all directions.
Lin Ji decided to go back a bit. Because he remembers that there seemed to be a grove of trees a few kilometers behind.
Dai Jia said: "Here I remember, we walked through, there was a mountain in front of us to dodge. ”
"Let's go." Lin Ji looked down at the compass on his watch, confirmed the direction and quickly made a decision.
The wind became very strong, and the snow on the ground was raised, and the bighorn deer and the baby elephant could no longer ride, so the people dismounted and led the way with their heads bowed.
At this time, fortunately, there is Xiaobai, who is a snow elf. Everyone had a hard time seeing, but it didn't matter. He led the baby elephant in front, and the people behind him followed him one by one.
When the group found the leeward place, the line of sight was less than two meters. Everyone hurriedly let the bighorn deer and the baby elephant lie down and tie them together again.
Lin Ji hurriedly drove a minibus from the small town and asked everyone to go up and take shelter.
When he got into the car, a gust of wind blew from the side, and the fox skin around Duyan's neck was blown out.
"My fox fur." Du Yan reached out to grab it, but didn't catch it, and hurriedly screamed. The vermilion monkey behind her chased after her without saying a word.
"Come back!" Lin Ji saw that the red monkey disappeared in an instant, and hurriedly shouted behind. But at this time, the wind is rushing and the snow is dense, where can the vermilion monkey hear it?
"I'll go find him." Du Yan saw that Lin Ji was in a hurry, so he rushed out with him, but there was one less.
The eight people in the car were originally touching around after getting into the car, looking curious, but when they saw that the two of them disappeared in an instant, they couldn't react. He put on his helmet and was about to get out of the car to find it, but was stopped by Lin Ji: "The vermilion monkey is measured, wait first." ”
Not long after, the red monkey really took the white fox fur and came back happily.
"What about people?" Hair arc looked at it and asked.
The face of the red monkey crossed in an instant.
"Dog blood is really bad?" Lin Ji's face also darkened in an instant.
