Xue Yue'er shook her head and said, "I'm not worried, I'll go with you to investigate first." ”
Li Hao and Xue Yue'er threw down their prey on the spot, held the desert scimitar in their hands, and ran cautiously over.
"Whew!"
Xue Yue'er took the lead and slashed at the snow canopy that was almost like a dome.
"Wow!"
The unexpected knife broke through the branch, but the snowflakes and ice chips fell to the ground, rebounded into the air, and then fell to the ground one after another.
When the snow rose, Xue Yue'er and Li Hao rebounded violently and bounced back a few feet away, staring nervously at the tree and the snowflakes and ice chips in the sky.
Snowflakes and ice chips fell to the ground, and the branches of the trees remained shaking until they were calm.
On the black and shiny branches, there were more silk threads like spider webs, which turned out to be these things, piling up snowflakes and ice chips on the branches of each tree, piling them into a round canopy shape, and turning them into silver mushroom ice sculptures.
Li Hao said in astonishment: "The knives are constantly chopping, is that rare silk thread such as snow silk?" ”
Xue Yue'er said excitedly: "Yinliang is tenacious, it must be it!" Brother Gu, our leather armor silk thread has fallen this time, but fortunately, we didn't bring Grandpa Char to come in vain. With so much snow silk, when we go down the mountain, we can all replace this tough silk thread, and we don't have to worry about the leather armor not being strong enough. ”
Li Hao shook his head and looked at the round canopy-shaped branches with more than a dozen trees, which were only used to sew thirty-two sets of leather armor, which must be more than enough, and maybe he could sew a light silk garment from pure snow silk.
Thinking of this, Li Hao shouted excitedly: "Sister Shan, we have made a windfall now, and we can use this snow silk to sew a set of underwear in the future, and we don't have to worry about not being able to wear this leather armor on a hot day." ”
Xue Yue'er smiled: "If there are really so many, then I must make one for you first!" ”
Li Hao shook his head and said, "Sister Shan, you like white clothes so much, you must make them for you first!" ”
Xue Yue'er gently stroked the snow silk on the branches, smiled and shook her head: "This is not ordinary clothing, of course it has to be made for Brother Gu first!" By the way, this snow silk is a mess, how to collect it? Why didn't we ask Uncle Nine Feet how to collect it? ”
Li Hao urged Xue Yue'er and said, "Sister Shan, don't look at this, I'll try it." You better kill the leopard and skin it first, and make a fire to roast the meat! Don't we don't get the snow silk, freeze to death here first. ”
There is no danger here, Xue Yue'er ran back with confidence, picked up the snow leopard, took three snow chickens, ran back with a smoke, threw it under the tree and began to kill the leopard and peel it.
On the tree, Li Hao was still looking for silk at first, but when he got impatient, he took out a cold iron dagger and cut off a silk thread and began to wind it.
After collecting it for most of the day, I only received a small lump in my hand. Li Hao was a little impatient again, jumped off the tree, raised the desert scimitar and slashed at the branch, and cut down the tree just in time to be used as firewood.
"Bang! Whoa......"
The desert scimitar slashed at the small tree with the thickness of the bowl, and only cut out a single ice mark, which bounced back like Xue Yue'er chopping a tree canopy, and many ice chips fell down from the tree.
Li Hao shook his numb hand and sighed depressedly: "Could it be that this tree has also become a treasure?" Ordinary knives are still chopping! ”
Xue Yue'er looked up and smiled: "How good is the baby, then we will make a fortune!" Brother Gu can be a big boss! ”
Li Hao shook his head and smiled: "My son has made a fortune now, so it's not uncommon to be a big boss!" If you have a life, of course, you have to keep your life to enjoy, so let's have more self-defense babies! ”
"Bang!"
Under the cutting of Li Hao's dagger, the tree finally broke, smashed up a lot of ice chips, and shook the remaining ice chips on the snow silk clean, and Li Hao harvested the snow silk into a ball at the tip of the tree.
Xue Yue'er remembered the treasure they had plundered from chasing and killing horse thieves from Flame Rain Island, and said with a smile: "I forgot, my elder brother is already a little boss, and I am the little boss lady!" By the way, Brother Gu, when are we going back? These silver tickets are exchanged back and forth, can we go back over there and bring a batch of heavy silver taels? ”
Li Hao shook his head and smiled: "Actually, there are not many, the remaining five thousand taels of silver tickets brought from there do not need to be exchanged, these ten thousand taels of silver tickets are exchanged for gold, only one hundred taels of gold, which is not enough for Uncle Nine Feet to carry on a small finger!" ”
Xue Yue'er grinned: "Brother Gu, you are not small, let Uncle Nine Feet be a strong hand and give you gold and silver?" Watch out for him to catch fire and throw your gold and silver into the sea to feed the fish! ”
Li Hao said with a smile: "Then this fish is expensive, I don't know which lucky fisherman can make a fortune!" Otherwise, Sister Shan, you carry it, anyway, you have your share! ”
Xue Yue'er scolded with a smile: "Why are you carrying a few pieces of paper, dozens of pounds of things, just throw them to me?" ”
Li Hao smiled and said, "Who called Sister Shan, your strength is greater!" ”
"Alas, with you naughty and lazy fellow, I will probably only have this miserable life in the future!"
In just one hour of incense, Xue Yue'er skillfully peeled off the beautiful and soft fur of the snow leopard, and smiled and scratched the ice and snow to wipe off the remaining blood and ice ballast on the gloves.
After processing the fur, Xue Yue'er took out the crescent moon from her arms, cut two pieces of wood, and kept rubbing it back and forth with a firewood in each hand.
"Click......"
There was a harsh and unpleasant sound, and the ice water that remained on the wood finally dripped down. The skin on the wood slowly turned from black to white, and then from white to black, until a scorching smell of burning wood came, and Xue Yue'er stopped moving her hands.
Xue Yue'er wiped the sweat from her forehead, shook her head and sighed: "It's really not easy to make fun of the firewood on this snow peak!" ”
Li Hao said with a smile: "If it is so easy, this mountain people who live on this holy snow peak, then there is more than that!" ”
Carefully scraping off the dry bark shavings like fluffy silk threads, Xue Yue'er repeated the previous unconcealed action again.
It wasn't until a large handful of firewood crumbs appeared in front of Xue Yue'er that she used the crescent moon to cut out one after another extremely fine dead firewood and set it up carefully. When everything was ready, Xue Yue'er took out the flint to ignite the wood shavings, and carefully piled them under the empty rack of the fine firewood pile to bake, and a faint wisp of green smoke rose.
The snow valley is surrounded by ice walls and no strong winds, which saves them a lot of trouble.
Gradually, the wisps of green smoke became larger, and then larger, and the small flames that jumped finally burned into a vigorous bonfire. Xue Yue'er skewered snow leopard meat barbecue, the fresh meat slowly exuded a rich meat aroma, floating in this grove, Li Hao and the two of them had dinner tonight, it was done.
Li Hao now chops the ice mushrooms, first cut down the eleven round snow silk trees, and dragged them to the fire to connect the branches and silks. Li Hao was too lazy to cut down the trees with less silk, so he left them to clean up tomorrow.
Looking at Li Hao's rough collection of silk, Xue Yue'er shook her head and smiled: "Brother Gu, you are really lazy!" Will you bring it back in a mess? When the time comes, I don't know how troublesome it will be! ”
Li Hao said with a smile: "Anyway, Ismir and they have nothing to do at the bottom of the mountain, so ask Uncle Jiuchi to bring them back first and clean them up." ”
Xue Yue'er said: "You can calculate people, even their group of sick and wilted guys under the mountain!" By the way, such a treasure, aren't you afraid that they will swallow it privately? ”
Li Hao said: "Then let Sister Mia do it alone!" ”
Xue Yue'er came to tease again: "Don't let your sister Yisi help you tidy up?" Aren't you afraid that she will come to scold you again? ”
Li Hao waved his hand and said: "Forget it, they can steal if they like to steal, anyway, this son picked it up easily!" ”
Xue Yue'er pointed to the steep snow wall and said: "This is also easy to get, whether we can find the exit tomorrow, whether we can go up or not, is still unknown!" However, this is to blame me for being careless! ”
Sitting by the fire and slowly chewing the warm roast leopard meat, while grabbing the cold snowflakes as water, this feeling is also like ice and fire, not very comfortable, and the two of them squeezed their eyebrows and grimaced.
Li Hao looked at the snow silk on the ground and said, "Sister Shan, it seems that we can still use this snow silk to pave the temperature insulation." It's just that the snow silk is too scattered to cover the body. ”
Xue Yue'er said worriedly: "It's too cold at night, let's just rely on this snow leopard skin for fear that it will freeze." Brother Gu, let's just pluck off all the snow chicken feathers and spread them on the snow to warm the nest. ”
Li Hao nodded and said, "It seems that there is no such thing as temperature isolation." ”
Glancing back and forth, Li Haomeng's thigh said, "There is!" Let's use this branch to make a small bed first, so that we don't have to worry about waking up in the middle of the night and falling into the ice cave. Spread snow chicken feathers on the branches, snow silk, uh, this doesn't seem to work, and then the chicken feathers will be stained with snow silk. ”
Xue Yue'er said: "There is no more leather, I will take off a piece of clothing and cushion it later." ”
……
This was the first time they had slept in the snow peak, so they naturally had to plan the process in advance. After that, Xue Yue'er and Li Hao began to prepare for a place to rest tonight.
Originally, it would take about two or three hours to return to the tent, and it was only dark, but now the two of them jumped directly into the ice valley, and the remaining hours vacated could be used to clean up the temporary accommodation.
The snow peak is not as good as the mountains and forests, the feet are full of ice cubes and snowflakes, hard is better than iron, I don't know how thick it is, Li Hao doesn't have the leisure to dig it out and measure it. However, he knew that in this kind of terrain, he could not burn a fire for heat like in the mountains and forests, and he had to burn a place of snow and water.
The snow leopard meat that has just been grilled is set on damp wood for a fire, so naturally there is no possibility of sinking. Even so, the six-inch-thick trunk was roasted at dinner, and the damp trunk underneath was only a layer of bark, which still sank a few inches.
Li Hao picked a few larger trees, cut out a six-foot-long trunk, dragged them under the ice rocks, and put them into the shallow ice resistance dug earlier one by one, and put them together to create a four-foot-wide pile of wooden trunks.
Between the round trunks, uneven, Li Hao grabbed the desert scimitar to cut off some of the extremely uneven places, and the remaining gaps were temporarily filled with sawdust and thin branches.
This newly created small wooden bed with a slightly concave interior took Li Hao three pillars of incense for a long time, and it was not far from getting dark.
After the wooden bed was built, Xue Yue'er spread a layer of peeling snow chicken feathers evenly, thin as thick as snow silk. Even so, the position of the head is still not shared.
After getting this right, Li Hao and the others took advantage of the fact that it was still early to clean up the snow silk on the eleven trees.
As night fell, the snow-white light became a little dim, and Xue Yue'er put on her fur coat to cover the scattered snow chicken feathers, and then spread the batch of snow silk evenly on it.
There are still a lot of snow silks in this batch, evenly spread, and there is a dense layer of Pupu.
Li Hao smiled, put his leather coat on the same messy snow silk, lay on it with Xue Yue'er, and pulled the smooth and soft snow leopard fur cover.
Smelling the faint smell of blood left on the snow leopard skin, Li Hao and the others felt no different from sleeping in a tent, very comfortable.
In this way, the first time they slept in the snow peak, it was so easy.
When he woke up the next day, Li Hao ignited the remaining firewood under the dead tree, and Xue Yue'er took out the snow leopard meat buried in the ice and snow, cut off about two catties, and continued to bury the snow leopard meat underneath.
The fire was burned and the meat was roasted, the trees were cut down and the silk was extracted, but the bonfire in the pile of trees was never broken, and wisps of green smoke rose into the sky, just so that the rock lions could find this place as soon as possible.
But the four walls of the ice valley are as high as a hundred zhang, the valley has no wind, the faint green smoke reaches the top, the cold wind blows, there is no trace, and the probability of finding it from a distance is not large.
Fortunately, this small forest is quite large, so there will be no worries about firewood.
At first, Li Hao and Xue Yue'er were all excited to slash at each tree, just to find the possible snow silk.
Looking at the cold sun overhead gradually turning west, not far from the mountain, Li Hao sighed, frowned, and said, "We have been missing for almost two days, why haven't they found Uncle Nine Feet?" Do we really have to find our own way? ”
Xue Yue'er nodded and said: "I'm afraid that's the case, Brother Gu, after looking for so long, I haven't found any traces, it should be gone, let's go find the exit, I hope we can climb out by ourselves." ”
Li Hao nodded, jumped down the not-so-tall branches, and added a pile of wet wood to the fire that was burning in the valley, before running along the four walls of the ice valley with Xue Yue'er, looking for a way to get out of the trap.
Running out of hundreds of zhang, Xue Yue'er suddenly looked back worriedly: "Brother Gu, those things of ours are just put there like that, not afraid of being taken away by something?" ”
Li Hao shook his head and said, "People? That's a good idea, we can take advantage of this opportunity to climb up. Birds? There is no sign of the beast in the mountain forest for the time being, but it is really possible that this bird will take those snow silk to make a nest, so we must hurry back and get some wood and press it on it. Sister Shan, I'm better at light, I'll investigate, you go back and hide the good things first, go over there to investigate, the two of them are more efficient to separate. ”
"This is not good, there are still some unknown dangers in this valley!"
Xue Yue'er looked at Li Hao hesitantly.
Li Hao shook his head and smiled: "We all have to be trapped in this ice valley, where will there be any danger, hurry up and find it!" ”
Xue Yue'er nodded and said, "Then you be careful!" ”
Before her words fell, Li Hao, who had turned into a gray shadow, had already run out of a distance of dozens of zhang and disappeared around the corner of the ice valley.
Soaring rapidly, quickly scanning the cliff of the ice valley, Li Hao couldn't help but look disappointed gradually rising.
has run for several miles, the four walls of this ice valley are all steep and abnormal ice rocks, smooth as a mirror, where can you climb up, it is like a magnified strange jade bottle, and he and Xue Yue'er are the little ants trapped at the bottom of this bottle.
Gu Xiao was not big, and Li Hao quickly began to run back along the opposite cliff.
Finally, when the light was fading, he collided with Xue Yue'er.
Xue Yue'er smiled and said, "Brother Gu, you're back." ”
"Well, we'll have to stay here for the night tonight!"
When the two of them met, they didn't need to ask, and they knew from the look on their faces that they hadn't found an exit. Li Hao still couldn't help but want to ask, but after all, he only opened his mouth, shook his head, and quickly ran towards the temporary nest.
Back at the lodgings, the night had darkened, and the snow-white color was still the same, but it had become much softer, and it was no longer as dazzling as the day.
The two of them sat in front of the fire and made a fire to roast meat, and the aroma of meat wafted up, and their interest was no longer as abnormal as the excitement of the first day.
