Chapter 642: Before the Blizzard
"This ...... How does this look like something has been bitten? Zhang Qiang squinted and looked at it, and directly said what everyone thought in their hearts.
"yes, it's kind of like that. But...... What can bite out such marks? Du Deming pondered as he carefully observed the bite marks.
I frowned slightly, and the images of various animals kept flashing through my mind.
Suddenly...... The teeth of some kind of animal slowly overlapped with the two small holes in the fruit.
I snorted, clapped my hands with some excitement, and turned to look at my teammates: "I know what left the marks on this fruit!! ”
"What's that? Let's talk about it! Zhang Qiang immediately asked excitedly.
I reached out and took the wild fruit in Situ Cao's hand and pointed to the small hole in it: "Isn't this like some kind of snake bite?" The serpent had two fangs, and there were two small holes in the fruit. Could it be that there is some kind of snake that eats wild fruit here? ”
However, as I spoke, I became a little confused.
It stands to reason that in an environment like permafrost, snakes should not be used.
Even if there were, it would have been hibernating for a long time due to the cold climate, right?
Before he could express the doubts in his heart, Wang Yi spoke.
"Snakes? Hearing you say that, it's quite similar. However, we are in the permafrost snowfield, and it is freezing and snowy everywhere. Are you sure that there really would be a snake here? And we haven't encountered any of these creatures along the way, have we? Wang Yi looked at me, obviously skeptical.
"This ...... Also. I'm just guessing. It is not known if it is another creature with two teeth. Listening to Wang Yi's words, I was also a little confused.
Zhao Qiqi glanced at the tangled crowd, she stretched out her hand and snapped her fingers in front of us.
"That's it! Don't dwell on that yet. Since you can't think of an answer, don't think about it for now. Anyway, we didn't find any prey, so let's take out our previous things and make do with them! Zhao Qiqi looked at us and said.
"Yes." As I spoke, I inadvertently glanced at the iron pot in the fireplace: "I'll go, the water in the pot is almost dry!" ”
When Situ Cao heard this, he hurriedly said, "I'll go outside immediately and get some ice and snow back!" ”
Zhang Qiang glanced at Situ Cao: "I'll go with you." ”
When Du Deming heard this, he also said, "I'll go too." ”
After a while, the three of them each held a large chunk of unmelted snow and walked briskly back to the cabin.
Quickly put the snow cubes into the pot, Zhang Qiang trembled and rubbed his hands: "I'll go." It felt colder outside than it had just been, and the wind had become stronger, so cold. ”
Du Deming also walked to the fireplace, he squatted down to roast the fire, and said, "Yes, just a moment, it is much colder outside than when we came back just now." It always feels a little wrong!! ”
When I heard this, my face changed slightly.
Then, he walked briskly towards the door.
Walking to the door, I pulled it open with a gust of wind.
Call~~
Suddenly, the cold wind poured into the wooden house, and the feeling was even stronger than when Du Deming and the others came back.
In just a few minutes, the wind has strengthened so much?
I don't know when, Zhao Qiqi actually walked behind me.
She glanced at the increasingly intense wind and snow outside, and her face became a little ugly.
"There's something wrong with the weather!" Zhao Qiqi pondered for two seconds, and his expression became more and more gloomy.
I chuckled in my heart, and suddenly it occurred to me that something might be.
Closing the door, I turned to look at the others: "Hey, you say, the weather now doesn't seem like a sign before a blizzard is coming!" ”
As soon as I spoke, Wang Yi, who was putting instant noodles in the pot, suddenly stopped his hand.
"If you say that, it's really possible! After all, in the snowfield, it is indeed prone to snowstorms! Wang Yi said, his expression was obviously a little ugly.
"So, what do we do now?" Du Deming's expression also became a little nervous.
I thought about it for a moment and said, "So be it! It is also not known how long this blizzard will last. Now while it's not quite there, let's go around and pick up some more combustibles like twigs, wood, etc. In addition, water is also very important, don't we still have outdoor pots and drinking glasses in our backpacks? Take those out and put some snow cubes in there just in case. Last but not least, time is pressing, everyone should be fast, if you can't find it, don't stay outside all the time, remember to come back quickly!! ”
"Got it!!"
"No problem!!"
"Okay!!
Zhang Qiang, Wang Yi, and Du Deming nodded hurriedly.
Then the four of us men hurried out of the hut and began to search for more branches and blocks.
Zhao Qiqi and Situ Cao only needed to find some more snow blocks.
After about a few minutes, I took the lead and returned to the cabin with a large bag of twigs.
I thought about it and ran out of the house again.
When I was going out, I happened to bump into Wang Yi, Zhang Qiang and Du Deming who ran back.
When they saw that I had run away again, they laid down the branches they had found, and followed them.
We went back and forth twice until the corners of the walls were full of branches more than half a meter high, and we finally stopped.
Of course, during this time, Zhao Qiqi and Situ Cao also filled all of our water cups and the iron pot they brought with them with newly found snow cubes.
After all of this, we immediately closed the door.
About five minutes after we closed the door, the blizzard really came.
Outside the wooden house, the wind was raging.
Through the windows, you can see large snowflakes falling in a row, and you can hear the crackling sound on the roof from time to time.
At first, everyone was surprised what kind of sound it was, but then we reacted.
It was probably the sound of hail falling on the roof of the hut.
The wind whined.
It was like the screams of some kind of monster.
After all, the wooden house we are in is a bit old, and many of the wooden planks are not completely connected, and in the gaps of these wooden boards, the cold wind from outside penetrates strongly.
It's really pervasive.
Even though the charcoal and twigs in the fireplace were still burning, the temperature was not enough to warm our bodies.
The air in the room seems to have dropped by a lot of degrees all at once.
At this time, Wang Yi and Situ Cao had already prepared the food.
They took out a few small bowls and a few chopsticks from their backpacks and placed the bowls full of food on the earthen kang.
