Chapter 34: Picking up the rags
Under Shen Xin's protection, the white boat turned the corner, and the seven ice rats were also very fortunate to be taken care of by the "hero", as if grateful, and galloped even harder.
At dusk......
"Look! Ahead is the camp of Tuoshi. The big ass reached out and pointed forward.
"It's finally here!" the headwind gaze was equally fixed ahead.
Shen Xin, who had been pretending to be stunned by the hailstones, got up slowly and looked at the camp of the Tuoshi people.
"Bing?" Shen asked curiously.
"Yes, it's ice, it's a wall made of ice, it's so high!"
The camp of the Tuoshi tribe is more like a castle built of solid ice, with an ice wall more than three meters high on the periphery, and there is no gate, but a large metal horse with wheels below to block the entrance.
There were no guards to be seen outside the door, and no sound could be heard, and this ice castle with no light at all felt dead silent.
Just when Shen Xin and the three of them got off the white boat one after another, the seven ice rats suddenly became restless, their mouths were already showing sharp teeth, and they all looked around with fear, and the fear in their eyes was even worse than in the blizzard.
"Evil hamster!" "Big Ass, as a senior rat man, first saw the clues, and he was also a bearded man with a weak heart.
"Well, it looks like they smell predators. "The headwind is also aware of the nocturnal nature of the evil hamster, and the sun has not completely set in the west at this time, so his expression is slightly calm.
When the three of them approached the city wall built by the ice, the ice wall was far from being as intact as they could see in the distance, and the outer part of the ice wall was full of traces of being bitten and climbed by evil hamsters, and there were even a few places that had been gnawed out of a large hole, and the ice wall that had been gnawed through was made up by the Tuoshi people in time to make up for the metal rejection, and the steel thorns on it still left blood stains, but no corpse of the evil hamster was found.
Scattered at the foot of the ice wall are the bones of evil hamsters, which also bear the marks of gnawing by sharp teeth.
Headwind motioned to the big ass to appease the ice rat first, and walked into the ice castle with Shen Xin.
As expected, this camp built of solid ice was empty, and three or two tents that had not had time to be put away, as well as weapons and tools scattered everywhere, it could be seen that the Tuoshi people were in a hurry.
There is no corpse of the Tuoshi people in the ice castle, and not a single broken bone has been found at the foot of the ice wall, the ice castle has not been captured by the evil hamster army, it should be that the Tuoshi people realized that this ice castle could not be held for a long time and took the initiative to escape.
The two of them searched carefully, and the purpose of their visit: the water purifier had been dismantled and taken away, and only a few broken iron pipes were left in the tent where the miniature water device was placed.
"It looks like they're in a really hurry. "I didn't find a purifier against the wind, and my face was very ugly.
"No matter how hurriedly you are, people haven't taken the water purifier away. Shen Xin was also a little disappointed, and ran hard for ten days, and when he came here, the building was empty.
Headwind began to pick up the scrap iron pipes on the ground, and motioned for Shen Xin to pick them up together.
"What are you picking up this thing for?" Shen Xin was surprised, but he still helped the headwind and began to pick up the "rags" on the ground.
Every time the headwind picked up a rusty iron pipe, the money on his face was a little more like a fan of money, and then he replied: "These things are very valuable on the ice field, since they don't want them, let's all pick them up and take them to the eighth master's trading field, we can exchange a lot of things, eat everything, and maybe get clean water." ”
"Eight Master Village, Eight Master Trading Ground?" Shen Xin's mind flashed.
"Let's go, let's put what we have on the boat first, and then come back to pick up the outside. "I was holding five or six rusty iron pipes against the wind, and my buttocks twisted and twisted as if I had picked up a treasure.
Walking out of the tent, headwind saw the giant metal blocking the entrance and exit of the ice wall, and ran over as if he saw a mountain of gold and silver.
"This is a good thing, you can exchange it for at least three months of food when you get it to the Eighth Master Trading Ground. ”
"You from a village?" Shen Xin didn't have much feeling for the metal object in front of him.
Against the wind, he cocked his beard and nodded happily.
There are indeed a lot of things left in the ice village by the Tuoshi people, and soon the big butts will also join the team of "picking up rags".
The three of them moved back and forth four or five times, except for those few horses that they couldn't move, it can be said that they picked them up, and the harvest was indeed not small, and some tools, weapons and other things could even be used.
After the three of them "cleaned" the ice village, the headwind and the big ass stood in front of the giant refusal horse, refusing to move, the two seemed to have the intention of dismantling it and loading it on the boat, and they talked for a while, and from time to time let out bursts of laughter as if they had made a fortune.
Shen Xin was very helpless about the two "money fans" in front of him, so he had to wait quietly for the results of their discussions, if it was demolished, he would go to help him, if not, then leave quickly, because it was about to get dark.
Man dies for money, and birds die for food.
This sentence can even be matched on this group of simple dwarfs.
The metal rejection was too big, and it was not as heavy as it was, and the two ice field dwarves did not have cutting tools in their hands, so the discussion was fruitless for a while, but they still did not give up.
"Have you two discussed the results? It's already dark this day," Shen Xin hurriedly stepped forward to remind.
But as if they hadn't heard, the two ignored Shen Xin's reminder at all, and continued to ponder the rejection in front of them.
At this moment, the seven ice rats in the distance were even more restless, and without the big ass veteran rat man to comfort them, they had already broken free from the reins and fled separately, and the white boat had even been dragged away from its original position.
Immediately after, the ice began to tremble slightly.
"It's broken!" Shen Xin seemed familiar.
After a few moments, the slight tremor of the ice surface had turned into a violent vibration.
"Evil hamster!" Shen Xin is not déjà vu, he is completely aware of it.
Without waiting to see clearly which direction the army of evil hamsters was coming from, Shen Xin hurriedly accelerated the surging dark energy in his body, driving the bionic body to quickly approach the two "wealth fans" dwarves, and ran in the direction of the white boat with one hand in hand.
At this time, the headwind and the big ass suddenly realized, knowing that danger was coming, the short man who was a fan of wealth immediately turned into a good rabbit, and let himself be slipped on the white boat by Shen Xinti.
The big butt of the big ass didn't sit down yet, so he hurriedly pulled away a pile of "scrap copper and rotten iron" that he picked up, got on the bow of the boat, and ran away.
"Quack ......" the sound of the rat sounded.
The white boat does not move!
"Gaga...... Ga...... Quack......" Big Ass roared again deep in his throat with an eager rat sound.
The white ship still doesn't move!
I saw seven ice rats, all of them shrunk into a big hairy ball, trembling, terrified to the extreme, and could no longer hear the sound of the rats.
Just when the three of them were at a loss, the army of evil hamsters in the distance was running, and the "avalanche" had appeared, and the scale was even larger than what Shen Xin had seen before.
"Mom, what can I do, the guinea pig is scared, I can't throw the guinea pig on the white boat, I'll go down and pull the boat, right?"
The army of evil hamsters in the distance is not only much larger than before, but also marches a lot faster, like a rapid march to the battlefield, and in the blink of an eye, the two ice field dwarves can see the ugly mouse faces in the "avalanche" with the naked eye.
The big ass had given up on the rat at this time, and quickly got into the pile of "rags" that it picked up, like an ostrich, his big ass was exposed.
The headwind barely stood there, but the timid nature of the Ice Plains made him turn his calves and stomachs.
At this time, Shen Xin, who was a little calm, found something unusual, this huge army of evil hamsters did not come straight towards them, while rushing quickly, the direction of the army was constantly adjusting to the north, and the entire marching route was like drawing a huge scythe on the vast ice field.
"Hi...... Hi...... They're not coming at us, come out. Shen Xin patted the big ass and said, but added in his heart, "Look at your cowardice." ”
Gradually, the direction of the march of the Evil Warehouse army has been adjusted to the direction of due north, and the distance from the white ship has become farther and farther
"I'm scared to death!" said Buckwind, breathing a sigh of relief.
The big ass is still only willing to hide in the pile of "scrap copper and rotten iron" with the big ass exposed......
As the army of evil hamsters gradually moved away, the vibration of the ice surface slowly subsided, but Shen Xin was still a little uneasy, for fear that the other party would kill a "return gun", and then used the "over-the-horizon" to keep an eye on the other party's every move.
After a while, the vibration of the ice surface was almost imperceptible, and the seven ice rats slowly regained their composure, cautiously poking their heads out of their bodies that had shrunk into hairballs.
The white boat turned the corner again, and Shen Xin's vigilance seemed to have been lowered, but just as he was about to retract the "over-the-horizon", a bright and slightly swaying fire appeared at the end of the north, and if he looked closely, the evil hamster army was heading straight there.
Immediately afterward, just north of the firelight, there was a rush of horns.
The sound of the trumpet was desolate and tragic, and the people in the firelight must have been more than lucky, and Shen Xin's compassion suddenly appeared, and then he remembered what Ning often said.
"It must not have been for nothing that the Creator chose me. Then he added, "The creator chose me, and he definitely didn't want me to be a 'coward'." ”
"You go to the ice village to hide first, I'll go back when I go!" Shen Xin jumped off the white boat as he spoke, drove the bionic body, and rushed towards the firelight where the horn sounded.
