From the grassland to the snow line, there are more trees here than on the grassland, but they are still very sparse.

Most of these trees are hardy conifers, plums, and some large mountain lilacs, which can still survive well at temperatures below 40 degrees Celsius. Occasionally, you can see a small birch forest, but I have the feeling of coming to the border between Northeast China and Inner Mongolia.

There are some barren grasses on the ground, dry rhizomes of soil ginger, and some low hazelnut bushes, if you want to come to this snow-capped mountain, it is not always covered with ice peaks and snow, there should also be a change of seasons, otherwise these grass plants will not be able to grow at all.

In such an environment, it is not as difficult as rainforests, and it is even easier. Because in such an environment, the moisture content in the air is very low, and the dry air can allow them to obtain very flammable branches and dead leaves.

In particular, the dry red pine branches are rich in oil, and when they are lit, they cannot be extinguished by ordinary light rain. The wood of the pine tree is most suitable for firewood, because the texture of the tree pole is like a lean stubble, the texture is crisp and hard, put it in the air, kick it down, split and eight petals, and even the process of chopping firewood saves a lot of physical strength.

Yun Yanuan got a lot of dry pine poles with the thickness of arms and calves, and some grass vines, and then asked a few women to form a circle with him, trying to block the bright wind.

Then put the dead grass in the palm of his hand, try to make the temperature around the bird's nest-like dead grass higher, easier to reach the ignition point, Diana used the flint to rub constantly, so that the cluster of sparks sprayed onto the dead grass, ten minutes later, the grass canopy "boom" a soft sound, blooming a blue background gold head flame.

With this open fire, everything becomes easier, and the dead grass is placed on the base of a row of branches, and then the debris that has broken out when the pine wood is kicked is placed on the open flame, and in a short time the bonfire is blazing.

"I'll get you something to eat, wait!" Yun Yanuan said, ran to a very thick pine tree, climbed a few times, came to the canopy, and then one after another black pine towers were thrown by him onto the ground with sparse grass.

Yun Yanuan called a few girls to come and bring these pine towers to the bonfire, and then picked the fruits on a cluster of hazelnut trees for a long time before returning to the campfire.

He took out the black charcoal that was already burning at the bottom of the fire, and then buried the pine towers and the hazelnuts in the black coal, and asked a few girls to go to the river to scoop some water and boil it.

He ran around, picked out the small calf-thick red pines, and began to cut them slowly with his saber, and made twelve or thirteen of them, and brought them back to the camp, and began to clean the bark full of small thorns on it with gloves, revealing the special fragrance of the tree inside.

After clearing the bark of the tree, the fish soup and grilled fish of several girls were also ready, and they still traveled by the river, after all, the fish in the river was their material security in the snowy mountains.

It's just that the fish in this river are not as dense as those on the grassland, and Diana needs a spear made of a phoenix saber to stick fish on the shore, and she can't do the good thing of scooping fish.

Eat and drink warm, a few girls are busy putting up the tent, Yunya Nuan chose a relatively steep hillside, back against the hillside to install the tent, there is basically no rain here, only snow, there is no such thing as a mudslide, and there is only thin snow on the mountain, and it is impossible to want an avalanche, so the mountain is the safest, and it is also more windproof.

Feeling that the time was almost up, the sky was completely dark, Yun Yanuan pulled out the hazelnuts and pine towers buried in the black charcoal, and gently smashed them on the pine tower with the handle of the saber, scattering countless brown and yellow pine nuts.

smashed it open with the handle of a knife and put it in the mouth, crispy and fragrant, several girls had snacks, all of them were happy like children, laughing and laughing at each other's ugly food.

Yun Yanuan looked at the cheerful three girls, and her mood was also affected, she was inexplicably relieved and warm.

He only ate a few pills, all to supplement vitamin B, after all, in this dry and cold weather, people are prone to chilblains, and vitamin B can prevent this phenomenon from happening.

After that, he began to trim the calf-thick pine poles with the crew's saber, selected a position of equal thickness, cut the wooden pole of about 1.5 meters in equal length, and built the thick end into a slope in the shape of the bow of the ship, and then used the saber to make the slope extremely smooth.

Borrowing Diana's phoenix saber, he drilled three holes in the front, middle and back of these pine poles, and threaded the rope between these small holes, and tied a horizontal log to it, and a sturdy snow plough was ready.

At that time, the backpacks and food of several people can be placed on this snow plow, which is more than one meter long, and slide on the snow to minimize the weight of several people.

Because Yun Ya Nuan knows very well that the snow will become thicker and thicker as they go deeper into the snowy mountains, they must try to reduce the weight as much as possible in order to move better on the snow.

Otherwise, if you are carrying a heavy backpack, you will not only be tired, but also step on the thick snow, and you are likely to sink directly to the root of your thighs, and you will not be able to walk for several miles in a day.

.................

The fat bear walked along a small tributary, and they did not try to find the main stream laterally, which was a thankless task, and at this moment the three of them were sleeping soundly in a leeward valley, wrapped in a wolfskin cloak.

In the farthest distance, Ami Se and Ida were far away, each sitting under a big tree, wrapped tightly around their bodies, and a bonfire in front of them.

Most of the night has passed, Yun Yanuan took over Diana, keeping vigil in front of the bonfire, silent night, especially in places with snow, the snow layer has become the best insulation layer, absorbing and reducing a lot of noise, making the world so quiet, the whirring sound of the fire burning has been virtually amplified countless times.

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! ”

Suddenly, in the distance of the river, there was the sound of the river slapping and splashing, Yun Yanuan didn't pay too much attention to it at first, the river was quite deep, and there was a big fish that couldn't sleep at night, and it was normal to toss twice.

However, when the slapping continued for a few minutes, he immediately became alert and put his hand on the spear made of the phoenix saber.

He wouldn't have chosen the pistol at the first place, because they didn't have too many bullets, and the crew's saber was too short, but the hardwood spear was much more handy.

At this moment, he believed that the sound was not a big fish playing in the water, but something relatively large and powerful catching fish at the water's edge, or chasing and hunting other animals that ran into the water.

Because the sound of slapping and tossing water became louder and louder, and seemed to begin to move up and down the river, Yun Yanuan exhaled, woke up the three women, pointed to the direction where the voice came from, and said, "I'll take a look, you bullets are loaded, just hide behind the bonfire!" ”

After speaking, he carried the spear, lowered his body as much as possible, bent his waist, and ran silently in the direction of the sound of the water.

I could already see the river from a distance, and I saw a black shadow tossing vigorously by the river, and the sound of splashing water came from time to time, and then the sound of chewing......
