"Tie the carriage tightly, beware of something that pops out of nowhere at night and startles the horse away!" Qiu Lao tightened his reins, and the horses under him spun in place, and he shouted to the group behind him.

Li Chaoyang jumped out of the carriage with his round body in tow, and asked Boro to help drag out a thick iron stake from the carriage.

"You hold on. ”

Li Chaoyang raised the hammer in his hand and was about to smash it down.

"Don't smash it, or I'll have my hands like this piece of debris on the ground. Boro laughed, but his hands were still wrapped in his sleeves and holding the iron stake in front of him.

"You'll find out what to do. Li Chaoyang struggled to smash the hammer. The iron stake pierced through the hard earth below, and cracks cracked around it at the same time.

"Come again!" Saying that, Li Chaoyang waved the hammer in his hand again, repeating it many times, and the two finally worked together to embed the iron stake into the frozen soil.

"We're going to split up and help everyone and try to finish it as soon as possible. Li Chaoyang took a hot breath towards his hands, turned around and walked to the back, and came to Zhao Yuansheng's side.

Boro continued to walk backwards and saw the fat man nearby, "I'll help you." ”

"Good, good. The fat man nodded, his clothes were no less than those worn by others, and if he really wanted to say anything, he was the roundest one in the whole group at this time.

The area around the quarry was filled with the sound of clanging knocks. Everyone tied up the carriage for which they were responsible, and the fat man put a big spoon and a dozen iron bowls into the pot and pointed to the car.

"Help, help me, take, get some wood. ”

"Wood" Boro nodded, jumped into the carriage and found quite a lot of dry firewood from it. It seems that they have prepared for this.

Qiu Lao tied his horse to Li Chaoyang's carriage, turned around and walked into the stone field.

"Let's go, let's go. When the fat man saw Boro carrying a pile of firewood, he also began to walk into the stone field.

Boro followed the fat man into the quarry and began to take in his surroundings. The surrounding boulders were skewed one by one, and the surface of the stones had long been covered with a thick layer of hoarfrost.

Put the wood in your hand on the edge of the stone yard according to Qiu Lao's request.

"We're here for the night tonight. Elder Qiu said to the members of the caravan who walked in from outside.

Everyone had no objection to Qiu Lao's words, and the fat man put the pot on the ground, and the tableware inside collided and made a sound.

Qiu Lao picked up the firewood on the ground and found a safer place in the stone quarry to bring it closer together.

"Boro, come here. ”

"What's the matter with Uncle Qiu?"

"I know that Guna has given you a flint to lend me for it. Qiu Lao stretched out his hand directly to Boro.

"What are you doing" Boro handed the flint into the hands of Qiu Lao, isn't this thing used for heating, although it doesn't work very well in this kind of ghost place.

Qiu Lao didn't answer, and brought the flint close to the low end of the firewood, and everyone surrounded them, they couldn't wait to get the warmth of the flame.

The flint was close to the firewood, and before it could get closer, puffs of white smoke rose from below, rising into the sky along the void between the stones above.

The flames ignited instantly, and the tense expressions on everyone's faces began to gradually ease.

"Give it back to you. Elder Qiu threw the flint back to Boro.

"If we had this thing for glacier crossings in the future, we wouldn't have to make fires as hard as before. Someone said from the side.

Boro put the flint back in his hand, "Then how did you all make fires before?"

"Before," the man looked at Boro and shook his head, "it didn't take half a day, and the fire couldn't burn at all." ”

Boro glanced down at the flint in his hand, "I don't seem to need this either, so I'll give it to you." ”

"Give it to us" Everyone around was surprised and delighted, this glowing flint is not something anyone can get.

"You'd better keep it for yourself. Qiu Lao licked the firewood into the fire in front, "This is something that Gu Na gave you, if you just give it to us, where do you think you put her friendship?"

"Uncle Qiu is right, you can keep it for yourself. Zhao Yuansheng walked past Boro and patted him on the shoulder

"Let's warm up by the fire. Qiu Lao stood up with difficulty and frowned slightly, "Chaoyang Yuansheng, you two come to help me build a shed." ”

"Eh, come on. The two of them got up from Boro's side and ran over quickly.

The fat man walked back from outside the stone field, holding a black stand in his hand, and put it directly on the fire in front of Boro.

"What is this?" Boro asked.

The fat man blew his hand and just smiled and did not answer, but explained the role to Boro with his actions.

I saw that he put the pot directly on the shelf, just over the edge of the pot. Someone else brought a water bag for the fat man, but the water in the water bag had already been frozen into ice cubes on the way through the day.

Fortunately, the water bag was also specially made, and a gap was opened from below, and the ice cubes inside fell into the pot with a clatter, and the iron frame blackened by the flames began to gradually bend its three legs.

Boro laughed, he didn't expect this group of merchants to have so many ideas.

The ice cubes begin to melt under the heat of the flames.

The surrounding Qiu Lao and two young men also began to look for the hole left over from the previous year on the surrounding stone pillars.

Li Chaoyang took a small hammer and smashed it on the stone pillar, causing the ice on the surface to fall off and leak out of the hole below that was blocked by soft mud.

Qiu Lao used the bronze tool in his hand to pierce this thin layer of soft mud, rotate around the hole, and dig out the remnants.

"Fill it in. Qiu Lao said to Zhao Yuansheng.

Zhao Yuansheng inserted a copper stick into the hole, and then the three of them walked to another stone pillar around them, inserted the copper stick in the same way, and pulled up an impenetrable net from the middle of the two stone pillars.

The originally empty stone quarry was turned into an open-air camp in an instant.

"I didn't expect you to have so many options. When Boro saw the three of them coming back, he complimented them.

"This is also forced. Li Chaoyang said, raising his little finger, "We are all just an insignificant part of everything in this world. ”

The fat man has already put the slices of meat in the pot and sprinkled them with many spicy condiments. Just sitting around the fire can already smell the aroma and, of course, the sneezing pepper.

"Ahh Bouro wiped his eyes that were smoked from tears, "No, I have to avoid it first." ”

Standing up, he hurriedly ran out of the open tent.

The eyes recovered somewhat, but the biting cold wind began to invade again.

The sun in the distance eventually disappeared below the horizon.

Boro watched as darkness gradually engulfed in from not far away, accompanied by a cold wind.
