Jin Tong silently dragged the wolf corpse out of the quilt and threw it out of the tent, hugged Jin Jing who was casual, and kissed her little face more than a dozen times. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Jin Jing couldn't pretend to be calm anymore, she twisted her face away in disgust, "I hate it!" Brother, you make people salivate! ”

Jin Tong said stupidly: "Sister, you saved my brother's life!" ”

Jin Jing snorted proudly, "It's good to know, your life will be mine in the future!" Listen to me, remember? ”

"Okay, well, I'll listen to you in the future!" Jin Tong said, ignoring Jingjing's objections, snatched the revolver, unloaded the bullet, and stuffed it into his coat pocket.

Jin Jing screamed "ahh Jin Tong, you dare to be disobedient! Jin Tong bullied the little girl! ”

The others don't care, they are happy to watch the two brothers and sisters play treasures.

Wu Rui asked Mao Zhigang what was going on, and Mao Zhigang explained that he went to the tuba, and in order not to smoke everyone, he deliberately walked farther, but he didn't expect to be exploited by wolves.

Wu Rui was a little helpless, and he was determined to strengthen organizational construction and discipline.

A boy named He Gongda, whose family is a butcher, suggested that the dead wolves be bled immediately, skinned, salted, and the meat could be eaten tomorrow.

This proposal was unanimously supported, and Wu Rui arranged for He Gongda and a girl to be in charge of the matter.

After this incident, everyone couldn't sleep, so Wu Rui simply called the rest of the people together for a meeting.

The meeting determined the next steps. First, the discipline on duty is strengthened, and it is not allowed to leave without authorization, and it is no longer possible to do stupid things like leashing dogs; the second is to repair toilets; the third is to build a fence; Finally, the accommodation area will be improved so that the separation of men and women will be realized as soon as possible.

The latter two are too much work and will be postponed in consideration of future moves, while the first two should be done immediately.

Mao Zhigang admitted his mistake at the meeting and apologized to Jin Tong in particular. Jin Tong didn't care and expressed forgiveness.

If there's one thing in the world that makes you most sleepy, it's meetings. By the end of the meeting, which had been less than an hour old, the rough handling of the wolf meat had been completed, and the next sentry had taken up their posts with guns, and everyone was back in bed.

Jin Tong's quilt was stained with the wolf's brain and blood. He removed the quilt cover and found that there was also a wet patch inside, which could not be covered.

Jin Jing refused to go back, and brought her quilt over and said that she wanted to sleep together.

Jin Tong drove Martin and Yuan Wending to the inside of the tent, and the brother and sister lay down in their clothes.

Jin Tong pulled up his hands and looked left and right, "When did you learn to shoot?" Can the recoil stand it? Didn't get hurt, did you? Does it hurt? ”

"Mother-in-law! I'm fine! Jin Jing opened her teeth and danced her claws, "Give me back the gun!" ”

"No, the gun has to be kept by the adults!"

"Big bad!" Jin Jing turned his back, "Ignore you, I want to sleep!" ”

"Really ignorant?" Jin Tong teased her.

Still, motionless.

Jin Tong tossed for most of the night, and he didn't have much energy, and when he saw that his sister didn't want to talk, he quickly fell asleep.

Half-asleep, half-awake, he noticed that Jingjing was tugging at his cheeks with both hands, sticking out his tongue and grimacing at him, as contented as a little mouse stealing something.

Jin Tong pretended to be asleep and let her do what she did, Jin Jing entertained herself and played with Jin Tong's face for a while, then lay down contentedly and really fell asleep.

The next day, after everyone got up one after another, they took the initiative to work according to the arrangement of last night's meeting without Wu Rui's assignment.

Since the camp is only used for one winter, of course, how humble it is.

A team of people digging manure pits.

A team of people made mud blanks out of wet mud and hay, which they dried by the campfire.

A group of people continued to chop wood.

The food team prepared for the expedition, and a few girls cut the wolf meat and cooked it and baked the pancakes.

The personnel of the expedition have been determined and will leave tomorrow. In addition to Lin Qian and Xu Jingjing, there is also a history student named Cao Dong, who works as a farmer at home and is very experienced in farming, while Jin Tong accompanies him as a security guard with a gun.

Cao Dong and Jin Tong both have a driving foundation, and the skills of groping for horse-drawn climbing plows have a great advantage. Under the guidance of Jin Jing, the two quickly entered the state and controlled like the wind.

In one day, everyone worked together to build a simple latrine. Although the mud was not dry, after watering and freezing, the low wall was erected. The roof is made of firewood and grass with moistened mud to ensure that it is impermeable.

The place of reincarnation of grains can be used by two people at the same time, but there is no partition in the middle, and it can only be used by men and women at different times.

Mao Zhigang accepted the order to build a wooden door.

He put aside all unrealistic requirements and built a door that could keep the wind out of a double wooden fence and dirt. Although the door was heavy and extremely inconvenient to open and close, he promised to hold out for a month.

Martin, a farmer, scoffed at the toilet, which was not even up to standard in the backcountry.

At the summary meeting that night, Wu Rui proposed that the construction of the camp is still in the emergency stage, and the next step should be regularized and long-term. Even if you have to move, you can't continue to live in a tent, after all, the warmth effect is too poor, and several people are cold. The house must be built!

Everyone discussed for half an hour, and considering the labor intensity and winter climate, it was decided to learn from the deer hunters, live in the burrow, and build a "ground manhole".

This type of winter housing for nomadic people is easy to build and warm, making it ideal for short-term living and those with low construction skills. As for durability, it is not considered at all.

Chen Zhenxiu introduced the key points of construction, which is to dig a rectangular soil pit first, then erect the column base, erect a spire support above the ground, and cover it with soil, bark, hay, etc.

There is also a stove in the manhole to keep warm, and of course the chimney is a must.

Talking about this, Lu Tianxi said that he must dig a vegetable cellar, otherwise the ton of Chinese cabbage will definitely freeze and rot, and the girls proposed that it is urgent to repair a bathroom and have a large bath barrel.

Where does the bath bucket come from, of course, it can only rely on Mao Zhigang, who has ancestral craftsmanship, and pity him for being a high-achieving student majoring in metallurgy, but he wants to be a carpenter in the wilderness.

Pile by pile, one by one can not be slowed down, but the meal must be eaten in one bite, and the work must be done step by step, Wu Rui calmed down the argument, and coordinated the manpower and schedule according to the priority, and everyone was sincerely convinced.

After the meeting, everyone who had worked hard all day went to bed early, and there was no longer the interest of yesterday's poetry meeting.

On the third day of arriving in the wasteland, the geographical expedition team set off.

Jin Tong, Cao Dong, Lin Qian, and Xu Jingjing took two horse-drawn sleighs, bringing tents, food, shovels, pickaxes, etc.

Before leaving, Jin Tong fed the two horses wolf meat and salt. Ashku specifically explained that no one cares about the deer hunter's horses, and they will dig snow and grass by themselves, but if you want the horses to work, you have to eat well. Horses eating meat is horrific at first glance, but it's not a big deal when you think about it.

The team hit the road early in the morning and left expectantly.

In the endless wilderness, the plow is not slow.

Most of the tall grass is buried by snow, and the sparse woods come into view from time to time. The pine trees are tall and straight, and the yellow branches and leaves of the oak trees are shaking.

Only the birch trees are straight and straight to the sky, attracting attention. The branches were covered with thick snow, the white bark was like a new coat, and the big-eyed scars looked at them curiously, as if they had been looking forward to the arrival of humans for a long time.

According to Lin Qian's estimates, the Mangai Wasteland is a long and narrow plot, about six or seven kilometers from east to west and nearly twenty kilometers from north to south.

She divided the entire wasteland into twelve districts on a simple map, naming the first to twelfth districts from left to right and top to bottom, and planned to patrol four blocks a day and complete the expedition in three days.

The starting point camp is located west of the junction of Zones 7 and 9, and the team will first go south through Zones 9 and 11, then turn north through Zones 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, and 2, and finally return to the south, passing through Zones 1, 3, 5, and 7 and returning to the camp.

At the speed of a horse-drawn plow, the entire route could be covered in one day, but the team was choosing a site for the camp, and considering factors such as wheat cultivation and digging wells to find water, it was natural that they could not go through the process.

The wilderness is empty, brutal, and monotonous. Two hours of driving in the cold wind can be tireless.

Cao Dong asked to stop from time to time to check the soil, and Lin Qian and Xu Jingjing often knocked and smashed with pickaxes, and then wrote records in their notebooks with their shivering hands.

As the saying goes, to find water, you must first look at the mountain, which is the experience of the ancients in discovering the water vein, and the water finding skills of the contemporary elite are even better.

Although there is a lack of drilling tools, as professionals, two girls can do a lot with just one geological compass.

Measuring the strike and dip angle of rock formations and faults is an essential skill for geological investigation. The occurrence of rock strata is closely related to the development of fractures, which can directly guide the search for groundwater.

In addition, studying the topography and looking at the weathering of the rocks may reveal an abundance of groundwater. And to study the lithology, you can see the quality of the groundwater.

Another example is the water-richness of rocks, is it igneous rocks, metamorphic rocks or sedimentary rocks? Regardless of the cause, when hammered with a hammer, it feels that some of them are "strong", some are "cotton", and some are "brittle", and brittle and limestone are more likely to form wells.

Xu Jingjing also has a unique skill, which she learned from her grandfather. It is said that his grandfather relied on this trick to be a feng shui gentleman, and the success rate of helping people dig wells was extremely high.

This kind of work is not boring, but very interesting, Jin Tong learned a lot of knowledge at the end of the day, Cao Dong recorded a large area of suitable farming areas on the map, and Lin and Xu discussed the preparation of a precise map.

Before the sun had set, the parade of the four districts was completed, and they began to set up camp.

Chop wood, make fires, feed horses, set up pots, boil water to heat wolf meat, bake hot pancakes, and set up tents when they have the strength to eat.

Because of the lack of manpower, there is no way to dig the ground dragon, and I still feel cold wearing clothes and coverings. It was dark, and the heat of the bonfire could not be transmitted far, and the two men and two women were huddled together in the tent, but there was not a trace of evil thoughts.

Jin Tong had a flash of inspiration, and trembled: "You guys, do you know, Eskimo, people? Let's make one, an igloo. ”

The trio immediately agreed.

In this snow-covered wilderness, the four of them took turns using two shovels to quickly pile up two large snowdrifts. Lay down the snowdrifts and start digging holes separately.

The entrance to the cave is only for one person to half-crouch, and there is room for two people to lie inside.

The entire construction process took no more than half an hour.

These igloos are not as strong as the Eskimo igloos, but they are enough to last one night.

They lit a fire inside the igloo and melted the walls slightly to form an ice crust. Ice is a bad conductor of heat, and the indoor temperature gradually rises above freezing. Lay fine wood on the ground, then hay, and finally bedding.

The horses were tied, and the two men and two women went into the house. They poked out the vent with thick wooden sticks and pushed the large snow blocks prepared in the house to the entrance to block the door, and the fire gradually went out, and the four of them spent a comfortable night.

Early in the morning, Jin Tong woke up to find that the snow blocking the door and the snow room were integrated. He hurriedly woke up Cao Dong, and the two of them tossed for a long time before they used a wooden stick to make a big hole in the thinnest roof and climbed out.

The two girls were also trapped, anxiously screaming for help. The two hurriedly picked up pickaxes and shovels and rescued the second daughter.

Xu Jingjing howled and cried as soon as she got out of the hole, vowing that she would never live in the snow room again, claustrophobic fear is really not fun. Jin Tong, as the initiator, sneered: "We have no experience this time, so it will be fine next time." ”

Lin Qian hugged Xu Jingjing, stroked her back to comfort her, and turned her head to give Jin Tong a fierce look.

The four of them had breakfast and continued on their way.

At twelve o'clock at noon, in the fourth district, Lin Qian suddenly asked Jin Tong to stop.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Qian didn't speak, glanced at Xu Jingjing, and asked, "Did you find out?" ”

Xu Jingjing nodded, "Well, it's a big one, and there is no grass or trees." ”

Lin Qian suppressed her excitement and ran to a nearby stone that was outcropping, "It's shale!" ”

Xu Jingjing also ran far away, shouting happily: "There are also here!" ”

Lin Qian beckoned to the two men who were driving, "Come over with a shovel and pickaxe!" ”

Jin Tong and Cao Dong glanced at each other, a little inexplicable, but they still obeyed.

Lin Qian pointed to a piece of ground and said hurriedly: "Dig it quickly, at most half a meter!" ”
