Chapter 312: Sledding

It turned out that the snowstorm of more than ten days before had made the ferrets lose their traces, and even Xiaoxiao, the owner of the snow sculpture, could not find the snow sculpture, let alone Lu Jinping.

When Lu Jinping was convinced that the snow sculpture was not nearby and could not get in touch with him, he took the bamboo flute into his arms in frustration. It's still on your own.

Lu Jinping said: "Let's set up a tent first, have a good night's rest, and then decide what to do next tomorrow morning." ”

Yelujue smiled and nodded, got up and helped Lu Jinping find a tent from the packages scattered on the ground, opened it, fixed it in the water, and then spread the cover in the tent and drilled into the tent.

It was the first time since the two of them left the ice cave that they were able to spend the night in a tent sheltered from the wind.

Maybe it's because I feel the crazy breath of death, Yelu Jue, and Lu Jinping. It's crazy under the covers. Until I was exhausted, I fell asleep with my arms in my arms.

In the deep sleep, people feel unusually cold, and although they hug each other tightly, they still can't resist the biting bones.

In particular, Yelujue, trembling, was awakened from his sleep. The two of them had wrapped their entire heads, but they still couldn't resist the biting cold

Lu Jinping also felt that he couldn't stand the cold. Before this, although I had walked in the ice and snow for so long and felt too cold, I had never felt so cold.

Lu Jinping hurriedly used the exercises taught by Xiaoxiao before, silently running in his body, this time, his body gradually felt warmer, the cold gradually disappeared, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and he concentrated on meditation, so that his breath traveled quickly throughout his body.

Yelujue was already so cold that his teeth trembled, and his body trembled. But he found that Lu Jinping in his arms gradually became hot. It was as warm as holding a vigorous stove, so it clung to him even more, and gradually, his body no longer felt cold.

Yelujue said happily: "You are so hot, you are so comfortable." ”

Lu Jinping didn't have time to talk to her, he had been working silently to keep out the cold.

Thanks to the warm stove around me. Yelujue fell back asleep. Lu Jinping began to use his heart and silent luck to turn around his body, but later he found that his breath would automatically wander on his body without his guidance, so his mood gradually relaxed, and he also fell asleep.

The next morning, when the two woke up, they found that it was already dark, and they could not hear the raging sound of the snowstorm outside, as if the world had been quiet again.

The wind and snow stopped.

Jeremiah lifted the bedding that was over his head. The probe came out, screamed, shrank into the quilt again, hugged Lu Jinping tightly and said, "It's so cold, it's cold, it's freezing me to death." ”

Lu Jinping smiled and said, "You are a girl who grew up in the snowfield, and you are still frozen like this, really." ”

So I reached out and lifted the quilt a little, and a cold wind was biting. He screamed that he was frozen, and quickly covered the quilt. This action made Yelujue giggle and said, "You don't laugh at me now, do you?" It's really cold, much colder than before. ”

"It's because neither of us has any clothes on, so it shouldn't be cold when we put on our clothes and go out."

The previous clothes of the two were stuffed into the quilt, so they quickly found each other, groped in the quilt to put on the clothes, and probed out again. Sure enough, I felt a little better than before, but it was still bitterly cold.

Yelujue had already dressed up, opened the curtain and went out, and then shrank in and said, "It's so cold, it's really cold today." She rubbed her hands together on her face. helped Lu Jinping rub his face again, and then opened the curtain again and walked out.

Hearing an ouch, Yelujue fell on his back. Lying on the ground and not being able to get up for a while.

Lu Jinping couldn't help laughing and wanted to step forward to help, but the soles of his feet slipped and he almost fell, his body staggered, and he quickly stabilized, only to find that the ground was as white as a mirror, reflecting a dazzling light.

They seem to be in a sparkling mirror, and they are extraordinarily beautiful.

It turned out to be frozen, and the soft snow was frozen into ice by the extremely cold and biting cooling of last night. Yelujue didn't notice this, and fell down when he stepped on the ice.

Lu Jinping hurriedly squatted down and helped Yelu Jue up, and asked her if she was injured, this Yelu Jue helped Lu Jinping to look around, and found that the ground had all turned into ice.

Yelujue hurriedly shrunk his hands into his sleeves, held his face with his sleeves, and said, "No wonder it's so cold, it's all frozen into ice." ”

Lu Jinping said happily: "It's good to freeze into ice, we can make a sleigh to walk on the ice, it will be much faster than walking in the soft snow, this is God to help us." ”

How to walk on the snow Yelu Jue is much more experienced than Lu Jinping, of course she also thought of this, and happily hugged Lu Jinping and said: "Yes, yes, let's hurry up and take the sled, so that we can put the futon tent and other things on the sleigh and pull it away, so that we don't have to be so tired on our backs, and when going downhill, we can also sit on it and slide down, which is labor-saving and can rest." ”

So, the two of them returned to the tent first, found a few pieces of cloth, and tied their boots to their feet so as not to slip on the snow and increase friction.

After tying their feet, the two of them came out and began to collect things and make a sled.

How to tie the sleigh Yelu Jue is much more experienced than Lu Jinping, she instructed Lu Jinping to help her find materials, and she tied the sled by herself.

It's just that it's still a bit hard to find these things, because last night's cold snap and the temperature dropped sharply, and after the snow was all frozen into ice, many things were frozen by the ice and needed to be pryed open to get things out.

Although the wolves had eaten the warriors, and had eaten all the horses and dry food, the clothes of the tents, which could not be eaten, and the sticks and iron rods that supported the tents, were left on the ground in good condition, and these were exactly what they needed.

Lu Jinping found everything Yelujue needed, and helped him set up a sleigh that could seat two people.

When the sleigh was tied up in Yeluxue and the things they needed on the road were put on the sled, Lu Jinping blew the bamboo flute again, hoping to summon the snow sculpture, but after waiting for a long time, until Yelujue had put everything away, he still couldn't see the snow sculpture appear.

On top of the sleigh are the necessary things they need to use on the road, such as bedding, tents, bows and arrows, blades, etc.

Jeremiah also tied the head of a mutilated horse to the back of the sleigh and dragged it. This made Lu Jinping feel a little strange and asked what it was for.

"This is to attract predators, whose sense of smell is very sensitive, and they can smell the smell of blood or carrion that drifts far away and carries along the wind," Yelujue said. This might attract these animals, and we have the opportunity to hunt them for food. ”

"This method is good, have you used it before?"

"I haven't used it, but I've heard people say that there is a way to do it, and I've heard that some lazy hunters set traps when they are too lazy to look for prey, and put some rotting animal bones on the traps, and when the prey comes to eat them, they fall into the traps. Test it now, hopefully it works. ”

It is also true that Yelu Juegui is the wife of the Khitan Khan, of course, he will not be forced by life to use this method to seduce the prey to hunt, if they need to hunt, there will be many people who will help them blast out the prey for them to shoot, and there is no need to use this method at all.

Yelujue looked up at the sky, determined the direction of their Khitan according to the direction of the sun, and then the two set off with their sleighs.

Lu Jinping asked Yelujue to sit on the sleigh and drag it by himself, but Yelujue disagreed, he had to be with Lu Jinping and the two, so labor-saving, and walking on hard and smooth ice, as long as the feet were not slippery, it was far less labor-saving than walking in the soft snow, and it would not be too tiring, Lu Jinping had to let her, and the two of them took a rope and tied it to the sleigh, and pulled forward, hoping to meet someone in front of them and buy a horse, it would be much faster.

But the most urgent thing was, of course, food, which they had already eaten, and now they could only hope that the wreckage of the horse's head dragging behind the sleigh would attract prey.

I don't know if it was Yelujue's method that worked, or if their good luck should have come. By noon, they finally found a lone wolf.

This wolf may be too hungry, walking staggeringly, when he sees them, his eyes glow green, it stands to reason that as long as the lone wolf is not too hungry, it will not take the initiative to attack humans, especially in the face of two people, but this wolf rushed towards them.

When they found the wolf, they both lowered their ropes and signaled to each other not to speak, so as not to scare the wolf away, because it was still far away, and when he found that the wolf was desperately rushing towards them, the two of them were not afraid or excited, and the prey was finally delivered to the door.

Neither of them went to fetch the bow and arrow, for fear that this action would scare the wolf away, but instead made a look of fear of being frightened, and stood there looking at the lone wolf that rushed over.

When the wolf rushed closer, he judged that Yelu Jue's relatively weak opponent jumped high towards Yelu Jue and bit down on Yelu Jue's throat. He didn't even make a tentative attack, which showed that the wolf was so hungry that he couldn't resist the temptation of food.

Before the hungry wolf rushed over, Yelujue had slowly pulled out a small dagger from behind his waist and hid it behind his arm, and when the wolf pounced on her, he suddenly turned to one side, and the dagger in his hand slashed from the wolf's neck to his crotch, disemboweling the wolf. The stomach fell to the ground with a thud, and the blood stuck to the ice and snow as if a large basin of red paint had been splashed.

The lone wolf did not die immediately, he lifted himself with difficulty, looked back in horror at the woman he thought would be food for his stomach, and then lay on the ground weakly and did not move.

Lu Jinping couldn't help but praise: "It's really amazing, calm and calm, killing the enemy with one move, and it is worthy of being a heroic heroine among Khitan women." ”。

Yelujue smiled and said very happily: "Okay now, we don't have to worry about food for at least a few days, if we can meet a few more vicious wolves in this way, we can hold on until we meet someone." (To be continued.) )
