Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

It's like it's winter, the ground is frozen and cracked by the cold hard air, and large frost flowers and ice skate decorations dot the glacier around.

Scattered pieces of transparent ice floated and sank in the glacier, slightly reflecting the light of the torches. In the thick cable, a half-human-high block of snow-white ice was being dragged to the shore by the four of them.

The ice was steaming white, and the cables seemed to be frozen. The smooth mirror surface resembles the epidermis, allowing the knot to slip open from time to time, making it difficult for the four to exert force.

If it weren't for Rick, the new force, John's family of three would not have dared to stop such a large block of ice.

"Work hard, it's coming up!"

John was like a calf, his face flushed. The body leaned back hard, the muscles of his arms tensed, and the soles of his feet constantly rubbed on the slippery ground, but they still couldn't stop the enthusiasm of this hot-blooded young man.

John's mother gritted her teeth and remained silent, but tightened the hemp rope around her body, and the green tendons protruding from the knuckles of her fingers proved that the woman had done her best.

Rick's hands had already been worn out, and the wounds were frozen by the cold air, rubbing the crumbling rough surface of the thick hemp rope vigorously. But this pain only made the corners of Rick's eyes move.

"It's up! It's coming up!! ”

John's father's somewhat detached shouts were like a torch, lighting up the remaining three with little strength.

After breaking away from the washing force of the water, the ice is still heavy, but it does not have that uncontrollable slippery feeling.

"Call someone! Hurry up and call someone! Remember to take some more insulated grass quilts!! ”

John's mother, who was silent, spoke suddenly, her voice a little slippery from the cold air.

John threw down the thick hemp rope, turned around and ran. I ran in a hurry, wiped the slippery ground hard, and fell into a porcelain.

It was enough for the girl to cry out for the pain of the previous day, and it did not make John, the calf, show any expression. With a hard kick to wipe the place where he had fallen, John rolled over and continued to run.

Although there is no labor, the ice cubes also have no resistance, and it is easier to drag on the slippery ground.

He turned around and strangled the thick hemp rope behind his back, freeing himself from the stinging numbness of his palm. Rick bends his legs so hard that he can feel the undulations of the ice sliding on the ground.

"Hard! Hard!! ”

Daddy John snorted hard, and the soles of his feet were firmly fixed to his body like nails. The muscles of the waist rubbed against the bones, and the whole body was like a tense bowstring.

"Alright, almost, the ice won't slide down!"

John's mother kept her grip on the thick hemp rope, slowly relaxed her limbs, and shouted at the two people next to her.

John's father and Rick also stopped dragging, and in just a few dozen seconds, a thin layer of skin was worn off Rick's shoulder.

The three of them stopped moving, and the only sound of heavy gasps remained in the entire cavern.

The cool air burrowed into the mouth cavity, scavenging the heat from the body. It's like swallowing a mint leaf and cooling it down to the depths of your esophagus.

The lungs heaved and contracted, alternating between hot and cold, absorbing the cold oxygen in the air.

Twisting the shoulders, the broken skin part is slippery and sticky, and the exposed subcutaneous tissue can feel the bulges and hard lumps of the rough wool of the clothes.

The eyes slightly looked at the ice cube in front of him, the whole body was snow-white and translucent, and there were shadows in it that could not be seen clearly under the firelight.

"There's something in there."

Rick's voice caused the husband and wife to gather on the ice.

Daddy John pouted his ass, revealing patched sturdy buttocks. Two large hands wrapped in thick gloves kept wiping over the ice like glass.

"I can't see clearly."

After wiping for a long time, only large pieces of ice fell, and the contents were still not real.

Compared to the couple with some night blindness, Rick obviously sees more clearly.

"Looks like a small animal?" Rick wasn't sure, the temperature was so low that even his eyeballs were a little unresponsive.

Because the shadow inside was also white, it was difficult to distinguish the exact shape, and Rick could only make out the general outline.

Hearing that there might be a snow-capped mountain animal inside, the two looked at each other and were a little worried.

In addition to cooling down, ice cubes are mainly eaten with other cold drinks. The freezing of an animal inside is obviously not appetizing news.

"Damn it, so unlucky!"

John's father slammed the ice with a voice like a lottery player who had scratched out the second prize, hating the number of the first prize.

John's mother looked around along the ice cube even more worriedly, and her eyes were a little red: "What can I do about this, I finally picked up a big piece and threw it away?" The voice was full of unwillingness.

Rick heard the two vaguely mention the situation at home, and John also has an older sister who is about to get married. John himself is approaching the age of marriage, and the family has been frugal for the past two years, just to cope with the marriage of his sister and brother.

If this piece of ice is transported out in its entirety, it will be enough for the family's expenses for a month or two. So after finding that an animal was frozen to death inside, the two of them were unwilling.

After a long silence, John's babbling and light footsteps could be heard in the passageway.

"People are coming! Someone is coming!! In the thick voice, there was a lot of joy.

Then a large number of torches and scorching figures quickly filled the small collection point.

The flickering flames of the torches reflected the excited expressions of the crowd. Large ice cubes are rare, and once sold, they can at least benefit a little bit of profit.

Several of the elderly are experienced, and as soon as they look at the expressions of the husband and wife, they know that something is wrong

After several circles around the ice, no one recognized what the animal was inside, but a few experienced elders gave an idea.

"Dig open the ice, wrap the animal in the ice and give it up, at least there will be some gain."

When everyone heard this, they nodded frequently.

The animal was wrapped in the center of the ice, and with such a chisel, at least half of the ice had to be abandoned

The Hemp Head is the street ruffian boss in a nearby village, and has monopolized almost all nearby collection points since he eliminated another gang that was occupying the collection points.

said that it was a business, but in fact, it was to exploit the income of those ice fishers, which was equivalent to protection money.

Today, I happened to be interested, and I was going to go to the collection point below to have a look, but I didn't expect someone to report that I had found traces of frozen animals.

Maybe those mud legs don't understand, but the hemp head is a character with a head and a face. He didn't know much, but at least he understood that there were no cheap furs in the snowy mountains.
