【Chapter 41】A hard night

It wasn't until he left the jungle that Wang Xiaotie felt his heart beat normally. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"It's fine! The Bodhisattva blesses that he is not unlucky enough to become the dung of a bear. ”

Wang Xiaotie sighed secretly, and looked back at the bear's home with palpitations.

The current situation is also difficult for Wang Xiaotie to ride a tiger, and he is in a dilemma. In front of him was a snow-covered ice field, and behind him was the terrible jungle. As for the sides, at a glance, they are both extensions of these two strips, and there is no edge in sight.

Wang Xiaotie was struggling fiercely in his heart.

Ahead, it's white, and it's definitely dangerous to step on the ice.

In the future, it is possible that it will actually be killed by the bear, as the bear has no mercy on enemies that invade its territory.

Faced with the possibility of being frightened to sleep at night, Wang Xiaotie finally decided to cross this vast ice field and find other places to stay.

However, he still needs to prepare a little bit to make a pair of simple sandals from the materials in this jungle, so that his journey will be much easier.

Bend a large circle with a thin soft branch, then use a woven straw rope to weave a criss-cross pattern on the circle, and finally tie the woven large circle to your feet.

Wang Xiaotie walked a few steps, although he felt a little awkward, but he could really stop his legs from falling into the snow, which undoubtedly saved a lot of physical strength.

When wearing snow sandals and walking on thick snow, try not to be too high feet, and sliding forward against the snow surface is the most labor-saving method, Wang Xiaotie only walked for less than half an hour, and the jungle behind disappeared from his sight.

Wang Xiaotie could see the hazy mountains in the distance, which was also where he was going. I just don't know how far away it is from where I am.

If he is really in the North Pole, then it will become extremely difficult to discern the direction, but fortunately, Wang Xiaotie is not looking for a village for help, he can go anywhere to play according to his mood, as long as he can survive.

Cold, really cold!

Walking on an ice field is definitely not the same experience as being in the jungle. The biting cold wind and the snow layer under his feet were constantly absorbing the heat from Wang Xiaotie's body, and with the consumption of physical strength, it was difficult to move now, but the mountains in the distance were still like that, and there was no feeling of approaching at all.

"Oh yes! Looking at the mountain ~ mountain ~ running a dead horse! The ancients ~ people are honest and don't deceive me ~ me! Wang Xiaotie's teeth were chattering, but he didn't dare to stop, and the consequence of stopping to rest was to freeze into a human sculpture on the ice.

He had to get out of the ice before his body froze completely, or he would die.

Because of his efforts to see the road, Wang Xiaotie gradually found that his eyes began to feel uncomfortable. Wang Xiaotie immediately closed his eyes and let them rest for a while.

Walking in areas covered with heavy snow is a high risk of snow blindness. The snow has a very high reflectivity of nearly 95% of the daylight, and looking directly at the snow is like looking directly at the sun, because the retina of the eye is stimulated by strong light and can cause temporary blindness, so a pair of sunglasses is the best choice.

But Wang Xiaotie doesn't have such extravagant things, not even at home in reality. He could only take a berry out of his pocket, rub it with his hands, and apply the gray juice under his eyes. This also avoids the consequences of blindness caused by snow blindness.

The walk continued, and Wang Xiaotie was completely relying on perseverance at the moment, taking mechanical steps and walking on the thick layer of snow.

Behind him, two faint rows of irregular circular imprints were left.

……

When Wang Xiaotie stepped out of the ice field again, it was already more than 7 o'clock in the afternoon. The sky was slowly getting darker.

Wang Xiaotie knew that the sun was less than an hour away, and he had to find a place to spend the night.

The mountains don't seem to have a lot of trees, but it's possible that it's close to the North Pole, and the temperature drops, so I'm forced to head towards the polar bear's home.

Although the trees can block a lot of cold winds, in order to save time, Wang Xiaotie did not look for tree holes this time. Because the time was already up, he had to find another way.

Wang Xiaotie hit the idea on top of the snow. He knew a way for hunters trapped in a blizzard to quickly create shelter, and that was to dig a snow hole.

Fortunately, the snow here was thick enough, and Wang Xiaotie immediately got busy.

Looking for a slope, Wang Xiaotie used a mountain opener to smash through a thin layer of ice above, which was formed by the melting of the snow at the top, which was not very solid.

After that, Wang Xiaotie dug up with his hands at full power.

The snow here is very soft, and it is not difficult to dig it, and under the threat of death, Wang Xiaotie can be regarded as breaking out of his limit, and his body has shielded the feeling of fatigue.

According to the knowledge he had seen, Wang Xiaotie first dug a small hole under the slope that he could pass through, and then began to dig upwards. This is also the reason why the slope should be chosen.

The entrance to the snow cave must be lower than the main chamber so that cold winds do not pour in. One of the most effective ways to complete the passage between the opening and the main chamber is to create a staircase.

In order to effectively keep warm, the thickness of the exterior walls should not be less than one foot, otherwise it will not only be unable to withstand the severe cold, but may also be accompanied by the danger of collapse.

Digging a snow cave alone is also a painful experience, at the beginning, because of the softness of the snow, Wang Xiaotie can directly compact the snow under him, but the more he digs inside, Wang Xiaotie must slowly transport the snow from the hole to the outside, which also delays him a lot of time.

Because the cold is heavier and tends to sink downward, the resting platform must be higher than the entrance. And also to compact it with your body and smooth it with your hands.

It was completely dark, but Wang Xiaotie still hadn't finished it. But the most basic look has been formed, and all that's left is to touch it up.

Using the wooden stick that he used as trekking poles, he carefully leaned upwards to poke out a ventilation hole, and then the entrance was padded with a small amount of snow.

With a breath of hot air in his mouth, Wang Xiaotie began to smooth the snow on the wall of the main room where he was going to rest, so that it could better isolate the cold outside and make the snow cave a little stronger.

Lying on the cold snow bed, Wang Xiaotie began to move his fingers and toes until he felt warm, and then began to eat some stored food, and began to wait for the long night to pass.

Wang Xiaotie was not asleep, and he did not dare to fall asleep. He's just pretending to sleep with his eyes closed. Whenever your body feels cold again, you should open your eyes, start moving, and replenish some food.

It was a tough night!
