Chapter 11 The situation is critical
The mountains in Yunnan at night, even in August, are still a little cold. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoEspecially at midnight, there was another light rain, although the rain passed quickly. However, sitting outside the tent at the moment, I was so cold that I couldn't help but tighten my coat in front of the gusts of mountain wind that blew from time to time.
I looked at the time on my phone, and it was close to 3 o'clock in the morning. It's great, but fortunately it's summer, and the dawn is relatively early, so it should only take about 2 hours to get over the dangerous night.
However, the last two hours before dawn were too difficult. Whether it is physical strength or mental strength, it is close to the limit at the moment, and I feel that my current state, as long as I close my eyes, I can completely sleep to death.
At this moment, the last LED rechargeable searchlight for lighting went out completely after a few flashes. Luckily, I've been prepared for it when the light is getting dimmer.
I first took the wooden strips I had obtained from chopping the cutting board, built a small wooden frame in the small stainless steel pot, poured an appropriate amount of cooking oil, and lit it in the last light of the searchlight to make a small fire. Although the fire was small, the light was nowhere near as bright as the original searchlight. But for me now, I feel that it is more practical, because the heat emitted by its combustion makes me feel a lot more comfortable.
Moreover, I have to clarify one thing here, I thought that these pots and pans that were not used for fart were actually somewhat useful. For example, because the small wooden frame is built in a small pot, due to the existence of a circle of pot walls around it, this small wooden frame is relatively stable, and it is not easy to be blown away by the occasional mountain wind, and it also has the effect of heat preservation, so that the limited wood will not be accelerated by the wind, so that the small wooden frame can burn longer.
In addition, although edible oil will make the wood relatively resistant to burning, the ignition point of edible oil is relatively high, and under normal circumstances, it is difficult to ignite with a lighter. But because of the existence of this small pot, not only will the oil I pour in it not be lost, but it will accumulate at the bottom of the pot, and it will also have a certain heat gathering effect, so that this small bonfire will burn very steadily after the searchlight is extinguished.
However, with the wood of such a wooden cutting board, even with cooking oil, it is impossible to continue burning for too long. So, I had to prepare some of my clothes and put them in a relatively dry place next to the small pot in case of emergency, if the wood was burned and it was not yet dawn, then I could only burn my clothes.
After that, I opened my sleeping bag, soaked the cotton in the sleeping bag with cooking oil, wrapped it in cloth, and wrapped it tightly around the top of the two hiking sticks we were carrying. My idea was that, if necessary, the two hiking sticks might be used as makeshift torches, both for lighting and for self-defense.
After everything was ready, I sat down on the stone next to the tent again, checked the time, and found that it was 3:23 a.m. on the phone screen.
"Hell, I've been busy for so long, I thought it should be at least 4 o'clock, why did it only take more than 20 minutes." At such a time, I want time to pass quickly, and the sky will soon light up. However, I don't know why, but the more I thought about it, the more I felt that time passed so slowly.
Reluctantly put down the phone, looking at the small fire that began to go down, I casually added a few of the remaining wooden strips to it, and my heart was mixed.
Thinking about this whole day, I don't know how I survived. Normally, my stamina would have been exhausted. And, in fact, this is also the case, I can feel a pain all over my body when I move my body casually, but, for some reason, it is like a string tightening in my head, which has kept me up to this day.
Looking back at the tent behind him, thinking of Fang Ling, who was sleeping in it, he couldn't help but laugh at himself: It seems that in some special circumstances, people will really start to become strong, especially when someone who wants to protect appears.
At this moment, I vaguely felt in my heart that I might really be in love with Shang Ling. This is not the kind of physical instinct for the beautiful opposite sex, but the desire to protect her and love her from the bottom of my heart. Although, I don't know what love is, and even when I grow up so big, I haven't really fallen in love. But, I think, my feelings can't be wrong,
Just then, I suddenly heard several clatters of gravel being stepped on and rubbing, not far from our campsite. Although the sound is very soft, it is still intermittent. But in this quiet environment, I believe my ears will never get it right. So I immediately stood up nervously, stood in front of the tent, held the kitchen knife that had been holding by my side in one hand, and took a hiking stick that I had made into a simple torch in the other, and lit it with the flame of the small fire.
And just as I was making these preparations, sure enough, in the weeds not far away, four or five wild wolves of different sizes came out one after another, and their eyes flashed green under the light of the fire.
At this moment, they may also sense that I am in a tight position, so they did not rush up immediately, but dispersed, confronted me, and slowly surrounded our campsite.
Seeing this group of wolves getting closer and closer, my heart beat so fast that I felt as if I was about to jump out of my throat. The hands holding the kitchen knife and the lit hiking stick were shaking and sweating, and the back was already in a cold sweat. Seriously, although the number of these wild wolves is not large, and it is not a wolf pack, but for me, who is now exhausted, it is by no means something that I can deal with alone.
Seeing that they were a little closer, only a little more than ten meters away from us, I knew that I couldn't go on like this, and I had to find a way to scare them away. Otherwise, if I wait for them to get closer, I guess I'm almost going to attack, but what can I do to scare them off?
It's not that I didn't think about rushing up to fight them and killing them all. However, not to mention that my current physical condition does not have the strength to rush forward, and I guess even in my best condition, I don't have the ability to kill them with a kitchen knife. To put it bluntly, if I rush up now, it will be a death, and at most I can drag one or two wolves on my back.
Second, what if I rush up and attack the camping tent from the side if a wolf comes around my back from the side and sneaks up on the camping tent? Fang Ling inside was still sleeping defenselessly! Therefore, I will never use this stupid method unless I have to, after all, I don't want to die young yet, and I don't want any accidents to happen to Fang Ling.
