Chapter 40: Relics of the Dangerous Land

After dinner, everyone warmed some water with some ice cubes, washed their faces and mouths, and then sat down by the kang and waited for my arrangement.

"The soil kang can not sleep people, we two nights, or on the ground to lay the ground, a while to get soil, when sleeping at night, close the wooden door, the temperature emitted by the soil kang will make the temperature of the whole room much higher, this snowy night, there will basically be no beasts to invade, this is a little to prevent it, now the main thing to keep vigil in shifts, or to be optimistic about the temperature in the constant temperature room, in case the temperature is too low." I said.

The girls nodded.

"I'm going out to find food tomorrow, I need to rest early tonight, so the arrangement is as follows, Yun Wen guards the first shift, Bai Lu is the second shift, Yingchun is the third shift, and I am the fourth shift, pay attention to hand over the whistle to the next shift, and blow the whistle immediately if there is something." I said.

The girls nodded again.

Then they took the haystack with me, and now they moved it back, and put it a little away from the kang, and I lay there ready to rest, and the temperature in the room was controlled to a certain extent, and I sewed my coat for me with Yunwen, which was much more comfortable than the previous two nights.

Before going to bed, I saw Yun Wen holding a torch and going out in the snow at night, presumably to add charcoal to the kang hole in the constant temperature room.

The three of them were crammed into a straw pile, and the temperature could be slightly raised, and this cold night was a good night, and I quickly fell asleep in a daze...

There was nothing to do all night, and when Yingchun called me up, the sky was already slightly bright, the charcoal fire was still burning, I touched the soil kang, it seemed to be basically real, I expected to keep baking, maybe I could sleep tonight.

I got up, put aside Yunwen's arm on my body, Yingchun lay in, I yawned, first went to see the constant temperature room, a night of charcoal, even if there was snow, the temperature in the small room seemed to be suitable, not too low.

I saw the snow around me, it fell overnight, the wheat field just grew out of the malt was bent a lot, as the saying goes: winter wheat cover three layers of quilt, the next year pillow steamed buns to sleep.

This snow is indeed quite thick, enough for three layers of quilts, but whether it can grow so many steamed buns in the coming year is a matter of two words.

I went back to the house and waited until they woke up, when the sun had risen a lot, there was a trace of warmth outside, I got the bone soup and dried venison, and ate some simply, and I set off on the expedition.

I took my backpack and bayonet and trotted forward so that my body could be as warm as possible in the cold.

Following the marks left before, I quickly headed for the direction of the jujube tree, there was no food at this end, and I had to go through the snake cave to the dangerous area, but after the catastrophe of the wolves, I tried to be as careful as possible when I went, but if I was alone, I was not worried, I was confident in my skills.

My former comrades-in-arms used to call me 'Big Horse Monkey', don't look at me big, but I climbed up the tree, and the speed was as fast as the big horse monkey, and the previous time was because Yunwen's girl needed to go up the tree first, so I missed the opportunity to avoid danger.

But this time, if I encounter a pack of wolves, I will go up a few steps, even if the wolves surround me to death, it will be useless to take me, who will let it not climb the tree?

I followed the steps and went all the way to the fault, I climbed up along the rope, and now the wound was basically out of the way, so I didn't care about it, but as soon as I went up, there was a snap, and a very large dead fish fell to my death in front of me.

"I'm going, I've heard of rain and hail, and it's the first time I've seen dead fish!" I was amazed.

Coincidentally, when Yunwen and I were preparing to go to the danger area for the first time, there was also a dead fish that I picked up, and that time I felt strange, thinking that it was Bigfoot who fell unintentionally, but there were no footprints of Bigfoot around.

I picked up the dead fish and looked up, and I saw that there was no end in sight from the top of the mountain wall, but I could vaguely see a hilltop on a high cliff.

Don't worry about it, the food is precious, the dead fish last time was devoured and played by the sisters of the Song family, and this time I returned another one, which is also a good thing.

I put the fish in my backpack, didn't think too much about it, and followed the dangerous road to the snake cave, and when I got to the snake cave, I could smell the urine of some animals here, and it was clear that some animals had begun to expand their territory and began to use urine rings to territory.

Continue to walk, after walking out of the hole, there are no more wild deer here, only a vast white snow covering the land, I specially checked, there are no animal footprints on the snow, there are no animal footprints on the snow, it is obvious that this area belongs to a relatively remote area, not a common hunting area for wild wolves.

This means that no animals have passed through here since it snowed yesterday, which makes me disappointed or glad.

As I continued to walk, I always followed the tree, firstly to cover up the smell on my body, and secondly, to climb the tree immediately when I encountered danger to avoid danger.

As he walked, he left a mark, and the bayonet in his hand was always on guard in case of emergency.

Although the snow stopped, when the sun shone on the snow melted, the cold air rising from the ground made me feel even more cold, and I couldn't make a big move, so I couldn't trot to heat up my body like just now, so I could only move forward against the wind, shivering.

"What's the matter, there's nothing, where did it go?" I said to myself.

Because of the snow all around, I can't see the characteristics of those trees clearly, but basically I can see some shrubs and some trees such as shirts and pines, which I can't name, but I can recognize them slightly.

Walking further, I will be in a trance in this white jungle, I don't think there will be any good harvest, I am ready to give up, but at this time, a cold wind blows, I feel that something seems to be swaying on my head, and when I look up, I see a string of jade pendants.

Out of curiosity, but also out of some boredom now, I immediately clicked to the tree like a horse monkey, and saw a string of jade hanging on the branches, including green jade, jasper, and the kind of small agate that was worn, and these jade pendants seemed to be depicted with something, which looked like bronzes were of the same age, all of which were from the Western Zhou Dynasty.

However, the rope on this string seems to be a little worn out by the wearer, and there are some cracks on the branches that seem to have been torn apart, and there is a part of the branch that is a little dark red in color, I thought of something.

"This speculation should be that someone struggled on it, shed blood, used force, and finally died tragically to leave this string of things, and this jade pendant looks like a bronze artifact, could it be that the diary writer alone took this most expensive plan to run away, and finally died miserably here?" I said confusedly.

Although it didn't use much, it was an ancestral thing after all, and it was a good thing for the girls to wear and play with, and they could also receive the breath from their homeland, so I took it off, put it in my backpack, and went down the tree.

However, as soon as I came down, I realized that I had overlooked a very serious problem.

Since the guy with the diary is hiding in a tree, what will attack him in the tree? It couldn't be those wolves!

Thinking of this, I unconsciously shivered, and hurriedly followed the mark to go back.

As I was walking, I seemed to feel that something was wrong, and I heard a slight rumbling sound, like the sound of a mountain shaking, which made me even faster to go back...
