Chapter 642: Priests Gamble Too

That bagh was a cattle, he wore a short-sleeved shirt when he was in Skagway, and now that he's here, he's been able to soak in hot water for so long. Hong Tao estimates that a person like this should never catch a cold, and his body has adapted to all temperatures from zero to 60 degrees. Of course, viral flu is still inevitable, that thing doesn't look at physical fitness, only antibodies, whoever gets the flu more times, who has strong immunity.

Soaking in an outdoor hot spring at more than minus 40 degrees, it sounds very comfortable, but it's not comfortable at all, whoever wants to soak for the second time is stupid X! You can't shrink your body into the water, at least your head has to be exposed, and when that little wind blows, your ears, nose, lips, and skin are all painful. You can only burrow your head into the water from time to time to relieve relief, but when the head with water is revealed, it will be blown into ice ballast by the cold wind in a few seconds, and you can hear the sound of ice ballast shattering on your face when you laugh.

The most pitiful thing is Erin, Hong Tao and Bag are both short-haired, even if they are frozen, it doesn't matter. But Erin still wore a ponytail, and her long hair, every time it came out of the water, it would freeze into a different shape, and sometimes she wanted to knock a shovel, sometimes like a wood carving, and it would be banging!

In the end, Hong Tao and Erin only lasted less than half an hour, and they could no longer stand this cycle of cold, heat, cold, and heat. The two of them didn't care whether Bagh wanted to leave or not, they climbed out of the hot spring and ran to the tractor in a puff of smoke.

"There's a backpack in the saddle! There is a bath towel inside, dry your body before getting dressed, otherwise it will be very cold! There was also hot coffee in that thermos. Bag was still sitting near the mouth of the hot spring, his whole body red, and shouted to them as he watched the two slick men running naked in the snow.

"How? Cool or not! You should soak in the hot springs for a while, the hot springs here are very healing and very effective for rheumatism. The old people of Inuit come here every few days for an hour, and they never get rheumatism. A few minutes later, Bagh also ran back like a big monkey, wiping himself with a bath towel as he continued to flicker.

"I'm going to get rheumatism if I soak it any longer, and now my bones creak like they lack lubrication." Hong Tao and Erin were shivering in their winter suits at this time, but their faces were already a lot ruddy, but they still felt a little cold.

"Well, so be it. Let's go back and change cars, do you want to play snowmobiles? Ba Ge spread his hands indifferently, and then put on his clothes, and then Hong Tao realized that this guy was only wearing a thin layer of autumn clothes in the cold-proof clothes, which was really more popular than people!

In comparison, Hong Tao still prefers snowmobiles, the rear wheels of this motorcycle are tracks, and the front wheels are replaced by a pair of short sleds. As soon as you put the gas pedal, it will run up, which is very exciting. Especially when you pass at high speed in places where the snow is deep, it is fun to raise snow waves several meters high behind the car. Until it gets dark. Hong Tao and Erin were still driving snowmobiles on the slopes of the mountain, and Bagge had probably had enough of this kind of thing, and he didn't have any intention of going up and running two laps, one huddled in the tractor and smoked and drank coffee.

After the sky was completely dark. Bagh announced that all the daytime activities were over for the day, and that the Alaskan winter night had arrived, just after 3:30 p.m. It's still good weather, and if it snows heavily, it'll be dark at 2 o'clock.

The three of them returned to the pastor's house and began to prepare dinner together, and Hong Tao couldn't help but get out his best dumplings, and unsurprisingly confused Bag and the pastor and his wife. Although there are no fresh leeks for filling, the dumplings stuffed with green onion and reindeer meat taste good, just a little bit of firewood, after all, reindeer meat is not as fatty as pork, so let's make do with it.

After dinner, there is one last show, watching the aurora.

Let's not talk about the principle of the aurora here, Hong Tao doesn't quite understand it, anyway, he knows that it is caused by the earth's magnetic field, as for why it can only be seen at the poles of the earth, it is estimated that the poles of the earth have strong magnetism.

There are many places on Earth where you can see the Northern Lights, such as Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Greenland in Northern Europe, Canada and Alaska in North America and Siberia in Asia. But all things considered, Alaska is the most suitable place. The reason is simple, it is easily accessible, it can also provide simple life services, and there is no light pollution in the city.

For example, Greenland and northern Siberia are closer to the Arctic Circle, but they are sparsely populated and have a harsher climate, and it is difficult for ordinary people to survive there without the support of professionals and professional equipment. In places like Iceland, Norway, Sweden and Finland, the weather changes too much, and it often rains or snows, or it is very cloudy, and there are not many days a year when you can see the Northern Lights, and even if you do, the quality is not guaranteed.

Alaska is also a place with a suitable latitude, a suitable climate, and less light pollution, and is recognized as the first choice for watching the aurora, and Fairbanks is also known as the city of auroras, with more than 200 days of clear skies every year. The best time to see the aurora is in winter, when the humidity in the air is lowest and the transparency is the highest, so the waves come at the right time.

According to the pastor's wife, it is generally around 22 o'clock in the evening, when the aurora activity is most frequent, and it can last until 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning.

But after dinner, it was just over 6 o'clock, and I couldn't sleep and get up again, so Hong Tao came up with an idea to kill time, everyone played cards together, and they couldn't play in vain, they had to hang some rings!

For gambling, the pastor and his wife don't care about it, too, they have abandoned their family and business to run to this ghost place to spread the gospel, God and his old man will definitely not count so much, if you are not satisfied, you can change people! Let's see who can do this errand!

Hong Tao is not very good at playing the kind of Texas Hold'em that Americans play, so he began to teach Bag and the priest to play upgrades, he himself and Bager, Erin and the priest together, so it is fairer, Erin plays upgrades a little less than Hong Tao, and the cards remember very clearly, just like memorizing the legal provisions.

The pastor and the bag are also interested in this kind of group combat gameplay, and Americans and Chinese have different habits, they are keen to carry out various kinds of communication, combination, and cooperation between people, and feel that the victory of group combat is higher than individual heroism.

Two groups of people started from 2, Erin and the priest had already hit 10, Hong Tao and Bag were just over 5, and the main-stirring stick here was Bag. Every time it is his turn to play cards, this bar head always roars to show the main card first, and no matter how many cards he has in his hand, in his words he must have the initiative. As a result, it is often that he and Hong Tao are not as many as each other, and in the end, Erin even buckled the bottom strap enough points, if it weren't for Hong Tao being able to control the situation a little when he was sitting in the village, it is estimated that he would not even be able to get over 2.

Mrs. Pastor did not participate in the game, she was responsible for serving tea and water to everyone, and then sat behind her husband to give advice, and after a game, Hong Tao and Bagge lost $20 each, but Bagh did not give up, and pulled everyone to start the second game. As a result, he still did not change, and he would lose every time he played, but fortunately, Hong Tao drew a few good cards, and the two sides have been deadlocked on 5.

"Aurora is coming, stop playing, Aurora is here!" Just as Bagh was copying his cards again, the priest's wife suddenly leaned on the window and screamed.

"Oh, let's see the aurora!" When Hong Tao heard the news, he threw the cards in his hand on the table, and ran upstairs to get the camera after three steps and two steps.

"Alas! Finish this one! The aurora is all night, don't worry about this moment! "As the saying goes, the more stinky the card basket, the greater the addiction, Bagh is still studying how to deduct the card, and when he saw Hong Tao running away, he didn't give up.

"Don't play, don't play! Bag, your poker skills are much worse than flying airplanes. Erin threw the cards away, too, and squeezed Bagh while putting on her coat.

"It's not just my reason, it's mainly about coordination, I'm thinking about how to better communicate with two people, so that even if the cards are not very good, there will be a great chance of winning." Bag didn't move at all, he guessed that the aurora was tired of him looking at it, he grabbed Hong Tao's card, then looked at Erin's card, and began to study it with the priest.

"Communication! If you can communicate, it's cheating! Figure it out for yourself, we're out! Hong Tao ran down from the upstairs with the camera, just in time to hear Bag's words, pouted and gave him a sentence, and then put on his coat and pulled Erin to go out, the priest and his wife must not look at this thing.

"Hey, wait, your camera is going to freeze when you go out like this, you're going to wrap it in your clothes, take my clothes, remember! Take it out when you take a photo, leave it on for up to 10 seconds, and wrap it in your clothes! Seeing Hong Tao holding the camera, Bagh hurriedly reminded him and threw his winter jacket over.

"Hey, I've met a good person, or this trip will be expensive!" Hong Tao looked at the Leica M8 camera in his hand, and quickly thanked himself for meeting a good person, this camera was bought when he and Wang Jian went to Germany to participate in a fishing competition, plus a Summilux25MM lens, the total price is nearly 10,000 euros, if it breaks, you have to take it back to Germany to repair, then you will lose it!
