Volume 2 The Ancient Kingdom of the White Wolf Chapter 24 After the Wind and Rain
That night, a flash of lightning pierced the night sky, followed by thunder, and it was about to rain, so we had to take advantage of the night to set up our tents.
The wind was as tight as a gust, and the rain on the plateau came as soon as it was said, and the raindrops the size of soybeans crackled and fell, and for a while our tents seemed to be blown up.
Fortunately, the place where we camped was sheltered from the wind, and it was a very hard day, even though it was windy and rainy outside, we still leaned on the campfire and quickly fell asleep.
I don't know when, suddenly I don't know what was rolling up the corner of our tent, and then, the water poured in, Li Long, who was on duty at night, woke us up in a panic, but the water had already washed us to the ground, we made a mess in an instant, and when we came back to our senses, we hurriedly rushed out with the equipment around us.
I saw a flash of lightning, and I realized that the water level in the whole valley had risen sharply, and the place where we camped was still seven or eight meters above the valley, but the river had already submerged our feet in the water.
The way up the mountain was already partially submerged in water, and we felt like we were on an island, and the water level continued to rise!
The river here was already fast, the canyon was narrow, and it was raining heavily, and it was estimated that it was also raining heavily, so the river was even more swollen, and we panicked, and the horses were frightened, and they were neighing.
I immediately understood what the Tibetans on the other side of the river were shouting! They probably already knew that the water was going to rise here, so we should evacuate here quickly, but we laughed at them as a "trap" to rob the house.
I had no time to think about it, but I felt the side of the horse, untied the reins, put the equipment on the horse, and told everyone to jump into the river and swim to the other side of the mountain.
We are now about five meters away from the opposite mountain road, and it is estimated that the depth should be about half a person deep, but the water is really a bit big, and we have no bottom.
With a pack on my back, a box of bullets on one shoulder, I grabbed the reins of my horse in one hand, jumped into the river, and groped my way to the opposite side.
Fortunately, our horses were all sturdy and tall Andorian horses, and we walked relatively steadily in the river, and in a short time we reached the other side safely.
I unloaded the horse's equipment and led the horse into the river to pick up the men and equipment behind me. After walking back and forth twice, I saw that everyone had already come, and there was still the last bit of equipment left in the tent.
I was about to lead my horse over to carry the equipment over, when suddenly a piece of driftwood rushed over and caught the tent, only to hear a click, the rope on one side of the tent was pulled out, and the river rushed, and the whole tent was washed into the valley, and the equipment was drowned in the river and disappeared...
I was dumbfounded, there was not only food, rope, clothes, but also boxes of bullets and grenades.
Our group stood stupidly on the shore, the heavy rain was still falling, I didn't expect to cross into such a situation as soon as we entered the canyon.
Ma Bai pulled me and said, "Let's go up first, it's okay if people are fine, the river is still rising!" ”
Only then did I come to my senses and told everyone to hurry up and go to a higher place.
The mountain is full of cliffs all the way, there is no tent, the mountain can not even find a place to shelter from the wind and rain, we do not dare to walk on the cliff at night, we have to take a few oilcloths in the rain to build up to avoid the rain, the mountain wind is very strong, blowing we shiver, we have to hold the wine bottle and drink wine to keep out the cold.
When the day was about to dawn, the rain finally stopped, and the river in the canyon was much higher than last night, and the place where we camped yesterday had long since been flooded by the river.
Thinking that if something hadn't hit the tent yesterday, and the tent had been opened and the water had entered the tent, it was estimated that we would not have woken up, and the consequences would have been unimaginable.
We just wanted to get out of the canyon as soon as possible, and when we saw that it was a little lighter, we couldn't wait for the rest of the night, so we continued our progress towards the mountain.
When I had crossed the mountain, I finally found a flat hill, and then I stopped, lit a fire, and dried my clothes.
We sorted out our equipment, and all we had to eat were two bags of barley and ghee, a few large pieces of bacon and sausages, and a bag of bread that we had brought out, but when it was soaked in water, it had already become a pulp.
The ropes were all gone, there were five boxes of bullets left, two long guns were missing, one short gun was missing, and fortunately the grenades were two in everyone's backpack and they were not removed.
We were cold and hungry, so we took a knife and cut some sausages, roasted them over the fire and ate them, found a shelter from the wind, and slept on hay, and only recovered in the afternoon.
On this day, everyone's mood was the lowest day after going to the plateau, but I didn't expect to reach the snowy mountains yet, Haizi hadn't seen it, and we had already lost our armor.
I cheered everyone up and said, "It's nothing, we still have guns, and we have two hunters here, not afraid of not having food, birds and beasts must be enough." Although a few guns were lost, one man was still guaranteed. The last time, I learned to be obedient, I stepped on the grass on the ground alone, everyone walked out of Yangguan Road, and the brothers didn't mess up. ”
The children of Wuling are more grouped and simple, and the people in the mountains are also more open-minded, and after a few words of encouragement, everyone slowly recovered some emotions.
I looked at the map, that is, it would take at least two days to complete this canyon, and this food was obviously not enough, so I set the amount of food and let Chen Yutian be in charge, and then on Tuesday Mao and Li Long were responsible for organizing people to hunt all the way.
Thinking that I had such an experience last time in Changliu Mountain, although I didn't bring a white dragon this time, but there were Tuesday Mao and Li Long, I believe that it will not be a problem to hit wild things.
On Tuesday, Mao also said that there should be more wild things in this mountain, and he and Li Long had a round about eating.
In the next half a day, it was simply beyond our expectations, the mountains on this plateau were completely different from our Wuling mountains, there were very few animals on the mountains here, and after walking for a day, we hit a grass thrush, and it was not enough to fill the teeth of these seven or eight big men.
It may be a few days before we enter the snowy mountains, and we can't help but be very worried.
On the afternoon of the third day, we walked through a forest, and a magnificent scene appeared before our eyes. After the river turned a 180-degree bend in the canyon, it went downstream, and in front of us, there was a quiet and strange world, only to see a large sea appear in front of us, in the distance was the towering snow-capped mountains, the long-lost sunlight sprinkled on the grass and snow-capped mountains, the vast and distant blue sky was full of white clouds, the forest firs under the snow line towered, and the green trees and white snow complemented each other perfectly.
And the bursts of bird calls from the forest also made us happy, relying on the remaining tsamba in the past two days to deal with, and we had to watch out for the attack of leeches at any time.
This sea is like a paradise. We rushed out of the forest with vines, and ran from the mountains to the meadow and the sea.
After a while, a gunshot rang out in the mountains, followed by several gunshots, and after a while, on Tuesday, Mao and Zhao Qiguan actually carried the roe deer and walked down from the mountains happily.
Tuesday Mao laughed loudly: "These wild things are too easy to fight, we are almost in front of us, and we are still motionless." ”
Li Long responded with a smile: "I guess I haven't seen anyone before, I can finally eat fresh meat tonight!" I've been hungry for the past two days. ”
A few guys came to the lake, skillfully peeled and cleaned, and in a few clicks the roe deer was unloaded into eight pieces, and we set up firewood on the shore, and after a while, a rich smell of meat came to our noses.
Everyone gathered around and drooled as we watched the fat roe deer meat, and we sprinkled salt and pepper on the roe deer meat and began to gobble it up.
In the past few days, I have been eating tsamba, and the oil and water in my stomach have long been gone, and the meat of this roe deer is fragrant and chewy, and everyone eats it vigorously.
Chen Yutian said: "The old lady Bai in our village, the roe deer that their family used to get from meat (hunting), the method is hard, they marinated the roe deer meat, and then wrapped the roe deer meat with the belly skin of the sheep, put it on the fire to roast, and when it was cooked, the belly skin of the sheep was shaken off, the roe deer meat was the fragrance of mutton fat, and the fragrance of the roe deer meat, the taste, the dog's day... ”
Chen Yutian took a sip of wine while eating.
On Tuesday, Mao said unhappily: "You seem to have eaten something from their house on dog days!" ”
The old lady Bai is the rich man of Chen Yutian's village, who made a fortune in the tung oil business, and now the family is solid, and the good land is several poured, and the eldest son has now taken over the old lady's business and continues to do the tung oil business in the Youshui River.
The second son studied in Chengdu, and after he went back, it is said that he abducted his little mother and ran away to Wuhan, saying that he was in free love, which has been a laughing stock in our local area for many years.
Chen Yutian said: "I really haven't eaten it, it's just that when I went to Mrs. Bai's house for half an event, I smelled real JB incense." ”
On Tuesday, Mao said: "Good students follow your brother, Lao Tzu told you, do a good job, Lao Tzu eats roe deer meat every day, and then you will marry a few younger sisters, and the two babies have never enjoyed that life." ”
Everyone laughed.
Li Long laughed and said: "Yutian, you should be more leisurely when you arrive, and when you arrive, your three-bedroom and four-room people will also run away with your eldest son!" ”
Tuesday Mao teased: "I'm afraid that the difficult point is that there is only the second baby, that Lin Xia is now about to become a snitch, and when Lao Tzu sees her in the future, he must be born to preside over justice for the second baby, and the palm in the cave that day made me still have neck pain." It's really JB ruthless, and then Erwa Mo will be beaten every day. ”
I was amused by Ermao and said, "You are the host of the hammer fairly, you are not just lip service, I am afraid that you will be beaten once you are the host." ”
Tuesday Mao smiled maliciously: "I'm talking about kung fu, then it will depend on your baby's "kung fu"... I see that your baby will be able to clean up when the time comes, or you won't be able to clean up that girl. ”
