Although the snow on the road has been cleared, the road is still a little slippery, after all, it is only a country road, and there are not many vehicles coming and going, unlike those major roads, just the rolling of vehicle tires can melt all the dark ice on the road.

Yang Jing did not install snow chains, so he could only drive slowly forward at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour.

Walking on this country road, the song "Take me home, country roads" played on the radio was very appropriate. It's a pity that the speed of the car can't be improved, which is a bit of a pity.

The area where Great Rapids is located is not a plain area in the true sense of the word, it is actually still in the Loki Mountains, and if you want to think of the real Great Plains, you have to walk another 200 kilometers to the east.

So when you drive on the road, you can see undulating hills everywhere. If it's summer, the scenery is stunning, and at that time of year, it's full of lush greenery and life. But now, although the monotonous white is also beautiful, it will not be able to stand people's eyes after a long time......

Fortunately, this section of the road is not long, only seven kilometers, and Yang Jing ran for more than ten minutes before coming to the small town of Alm.

When crossing the Missouri River in the south of the town, Yang Jing could clearly see the frozen Missouri River on the bridge, nearly one hundred and fifty meters wide, and the river was completely frozen at this time, but Yang Jing didn't know how thick the ice was and whether it could bear the weight of people.

If the ice is thick enough, you can go back and smash an ice hole and go fishing.

Yang Jing couldn't help but think of the winter when he was a child, and his uncle took him to break the ice and fish in the fork river east of Tianqu......

The car quickly crossed the bridge and drove into the town.

The small town of Alm is small, with only 100 households, but it is spread over a huge area with a radius of two kilometers. You can also see from this town that Montana is vast and sparsely populated.

Since Interstate Highway 15 runs through the town, it is on both sides of the interstate highway that is the busiest area of the town. Therefore, here Yang Jing can easily see restaurants, second-hand car dealerships, car repair shops, and a small convenience store.

The town is too small to afford a large supermarket, so only such a small convenience store can provide some convenience for the local residents.

Anyway, it's not far from Great Falls, and residents of the town will drive to Great Falls if they want to buy on a large scale, and there are enough supermarkets in the city to meet any of your shopping needs.

Yang Jing's lunch hadn't been eaten yet, so after seeing that restaurant, Yang Jing decided to settle lunch here.

When he parked the car and walked into the restaurant, Yang Jing met two acquaintances, who were the Jones brothers.

"Hey, Albert, why did you get here?" asked Big Jones, puzzled, after the pleasantries.

"I'm going to come out to buy something, but I haven't had lunch yet, so I'm here for a meal. What are you doing here? You look like you're tired. ”

Before Big Jones could reply, a crisp voice rang out. "Roy, Michael, your steak potatoes are ready, enjoy. ”

Yang Jing looked up when he heard the sound and found a beautiful girl in her twenties standing next to her with a tray with two generous portions of fried steak with baked potatoes and two glasses of red wine.

Little Jones politely stood up, "Thank you Jenny, but I have to trouble you, we also need a fried steak and baked potatoes, our friend is here, we need to ask him to taste your father's handiwork, I think my friend will definitely like your father's handiwork." ”

The beautiful Jenny glanced at Yang Jing, and seemed a little surprised by Yang Jing's skin tone and hair color, but she still nodded very gently, "Don't worry, Michael, my father's craftsmanship will definitely satisfy this friend of yours." ”

Michael looked at the beautiful figure that turned away, and his gaze was reluctant to leave for a long time.

Yang Jing knocked this guy angrily, and said in a low voice: "What, like people, if you like people, take the initiative to pursue them boldly, pursue people's backs with your eyes, and people will never walk with you." ”

Yang Jing's words immediately made little Jones's face turn red and made Yang Jing very amused. This is the first time he has seen the smug little Jones have such an expression since he met the Jones brothers, a virgin who is in love......

Roy Jones smiled and said, "Albert, leave that guy alone. Since kindergarten, Michael has been in love with Jenny, but until now he has not dared to confess. God, my brother is not like this, he can tame the most irascible horse, he can control the most violent bull, but why doesn't he dare to confess to Jenny?"

"Roy, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute!" Michael blushed and acted fiercely, but he teased Yang Jing a lot.

"Michael, the whole town of Alm and half of the Great Rapids know that you like Jenny, and even Jenny has been waiting for your confession, but what about your courage?" Roy glared at his brother angrily.

"I ......," Michael scratched at his scalp in annoyance.

Yang Jing is really happy now, he really didn't expect that a tall American man would be more subtle than the Chinese in terms of feelings, this is really too rare, at least among American men, Michael's subtlety is even rarer than that of a giant panda.

However, Yang Jing also knows that this is not that Jones Jr.'s character is weak, on the contrary, Yang Jing knows very well that Jr. Jones's character is actually more fierce than his brother Big Jones, but he has met someone who can absolutely submit him.

If the beautiful Jenny is the brine, then little Jones is an unformed piece of tofu......

This kind of thing is not something that outsiders can interfere with, and it must be understood by Jones Jr. himself, otherwise it will backfire. Therefore, Yang Jing wisely shifted this topic to the side.

"I said Roy, I see that you brothers are so tired, you look even more embarrassed than clearing the snow that day, what have you two been doing these two days?"

Yang Jing asked this question just now, but was interrupted by Jenny's arrival, so as soon as this question came out, it immediately diverted the brothers' attention.

Little Jones, who was still a little melancholy just now, immediately said: "Roy and I have gone to save people in the past two days." ”

"Save people?" Yang Jing looked at the brothers suspiciously.

"That's right, it's to save people, and a total of nine people have been saved!" said little Jones triumphantly.

Roy coughed and said with a very satisfied look: "Michael is right, we have other work in the past two days, although we are very tired, we have rescued nine tourists from New Orleans from the wild buffalo in the north. ”

"New Orleans?" Yang Jing's mind was clouded for a moment, and then he immediately realized that this place was 2,700 kilometers away from the Great Falls City in a straight line, and in such weather, the people of New Orleans actually ran from the southeast corner of the United States to the northwest corner to play, which can only be said that Americans really know how to play!

"That's right, it's New Orleans. Among them were two newlyweds. ”

Yang Jing patted his head, he knew that there was such a custom in the United States, that is, newly married couples would drive a car for a romantic self-driving trip, which was an alternative honeymoon. But driving from New Orleans to Grand Rapids, the two newlyweds are crazy enough.

"There were eleven people in total. Roy's voice was a little low, "These eleven people are all from Louisiana, two of them are newly married, and seven of them are self-driving travelers, they met on the road and came to Great Rapids together. ”

"After admiring the Great Falls on the Missouri River, they originally planned to go to Yellowstone, but they learned from the locals of Grand Falls that there is a national wild buffalo conservation park north of our Alm, so they went there together to prepare to see the wild buffalo up close, and they encountered the snowstorm. ”

Michael continued: "These eleven people have lived in warm Louisiana before, and they may have a lot of experience in how to resist hurricanes, but they don't know how to defend against blizzards, and they don't know that the power of blizzards is sometimes more terrifying than hurricanes! ”

When the blizzard came, all their camping tents were crushed, and they did not see the road buried by the snow in their panic, and three of the four vehicles drove into the deep ravine, and the last one, although it did not fall into the deep ravine, got stuck in the middle of the hill. ”

"We only received the distress signal on the evening of the second day after the snow had fallen. "The three men in the car at the back climbed out, and they tried to rescue their comrades who had fallen into a deep ditch, only to find that they couldn't do it at all after a long time of hard work, and because of the snowstorm, there was a blackout in the area, and there was no signal from the cell towers. So two of the wounded were left behind, and the other young girl, who was less injured, walked for three hours to meet Mr. Trist, who was driving home, and then the town got the news that he needed help. ”

"You two went with you?" Yang Jing asked.

"That's right, we were familiar with that side, so Michael and I were pulled out of the bed by Sheriff Roberts and followed to the rescue. The professional rescue team of Great Rapids also went, but the terrain there was too dangerous, we worked hard for a day and two nights, and finally only rescued nine people, and the newlyweds who fell into the deep ditch first had stopped breathing when they were rescued because of severe body hypothermia. ”

All of a sudden, the atmosphere became heavy.
