Chapter 141: Blue Flame (5th Watch)

They can't just defend, they need to take the initiative and reverse the hunting relationship between the two.

When he saw the alcohol in the trunk, Wang Yuan knew that the opportunity had come.

After installing the wooden door, he ran to the river and fetched two buckets of water, and poured them all on the wooden door of the earthen house until the wooden door was swollen with water.

Then he held the jar of solid alcohol and sprinkled a thick layer in front of the door and in the gap between the off-road vehicle.

Now, all he needed was to wait, to wait for the wolves to slowly wrap themselves around when they hit the door.

Looking at Wang Yuan's resolute and quiet side face, Jiang Feifei's floating heart sank together, and the blue flame in front of her seemed to have magic power, whispering in her ear, urging her to sleep.

The long roar and crashing sound outside the door gradually left her, Jiang Feifei hugged Feng Feng's eyes and slowly closed, her head leaned against the earthen wall behind her, she was really tired, very tired, very tired.

Wang Yuan smiled lightly, pulled up the quilt, and covered the girl. Walk to the wooden door with the broken oil jar in hand.

The wolf's hearing and sense of smell are very good, from the moment Wang Yuan got up, the wolves outside began to make a small commotion, and when Wang Yuan walked to the door, the wolves roared excitedly, as if celebrating the food that came to his mouth.

The crash was louder.

Wang Yuan didn't do anything, just took an axe and split the corner of the wooden door, and then threw out the oil pot with blue sparks in his hand. Seeing the hole in the wooden door, the wolves outside the door jumped up excitedly, but only saw a little blue spark flashing under the dark night sky.

The oil cup rolled down, and the blue flames came out of the ground with a thud like ghostly fire from hell, and spread violently, scurrying along the limbs of the wolves with their earthy yellow fur.

The wolves gathered in front of the earthen house were instantly surrounded by flames, and the coyotes whined and rolled on the ground, and then stained with more accelerant, and the grease in the fur was burned and crackled, and in a few clicks, it was wrapped in a fireball.

They tried to run outside, but found that the flames around them were burning higher and stronger.

Everywhere there were blue flames jumping......

The flames turned from blue to yellow, and through the hole in the door, Wang Yuan saw the coyote that had turned into a ball of fire rushed out of front of the house, and then fell to the open space not far away.

The wolf opened its mouth and roared sharply, then slowly consumed by the flames.

One by one, half of the wolves in the pack fell into the blue flames.

Jiang Feifei slept more and more this night, and when she opened her eyes again, she found that it was dawn.

Nothing seemed to have changed except the scorched darkness in front of the wooden door, and they began to go up the mountain again, hunting rabbits, picking vegetables, and catching chickens, and only the blackened wooden door would remind him of the days of fear that quickly disappeared into the firelight.

……

The weather was colder than they imagined, the sea breeze blew from the translucent ice from time to time, and the wind seemed to be holding a knife, cutting on everyone's exposed skin one by one, Granny Yu tightened the fluffy and thick down jacket on her body, walked two steps quickly, and stuffed the earthy green hot water bottle in her arms into Li Youxiu's arms.

Li Youxiu wanted to be polite and give full play to the fine tradition of respecting the old and loving the young (Granny Yu was two years older than him) and giving priority to women, but as soon as the cold skin on his body touched the warm water bag, his hand couldn't help but push it into his arms, his arms were hugged tighter, and the modesty that spit out to his mouth was tightly pressed into the door.

Only a little embarrassment was revealed in his eyes.

"Sick, I'm taking care of the sick." Granny Yu rarely opened her mouth to explain.

Li Youxiu heard that this was a sick benefit, so he pulled the hot water bottle into his arms with peace of mind, and the warm water bottle was attached to his old sand skin, and he breathed a sigh of comfort.

It may be that people are slow to recover when they are old, Li Youxiu's knife cut on the shoulder by Sun Ying is not good, in addition to the pain of the wound from time to time, there is also cold hands and feet caused by excessive blood loss, kidney deficiency and shortness of breath, Grandpa Yu helped to see it and prescribed medicine, but it may be that it is too cold this winter and has not been well.

Today was the third of January, and they had been walking on the ice for two days, and before they hit the road, they knew that the road would not be easy, but the reality was worse than they had imagined.

In the past two days, the temperature has quickly fallen below the freezing point at a speed that can be checked on the body's surface, and just now, the thermometer in Yu Yao's hand showed that it was now minus 22.5 degrees.

It's thirteen o'clock in the afternoon, and at lunchtime it's just twelve o'clock, the measured temperature is minus 22 degrees.

The temperature drops at a rate of 0.5 degrees per hour, which at first glance does not seem to be so serious, and usually the temperature drops by more than 10 or even 20 degrees during the change of seasons in autumn and winter.

But what is terrible is not the speed of cooling, but the duration of cooling, it is not a sudden drop in temperature affected by the cold air mass in the north, it is falling every hour and every second in a basically constant way, in the past two days, it has fallen at a uniform rate of nearly 20 degrees, and no one knows how many degrees it will fall.

There are two main ways of heat loss, one is the surrounding cold, and the other is the wind, especially the latter, which will work with the former tacitly, helping the cold air to penetrate your cotton clothing inadvertently, taking away the heat and moisture you have just emitted from the surface of the body.

Coupled with the cold air on the soles of the feet that constantly penetrates deep into the bone marrow through the soles, except for Yuyao, everyone is very cold, very cold.

They can't open their legs when it's cold.

From the Mazu Temple to the north, it is only seventy miles away from the suburbs of Linhai City, but for two days, they have not seen the shadow of the suburbs.

And because the weather is cold and the calories are lost so quickly, they will get hungry easily, and they go from three meals a day to five meals a day, and the children are stuffing snacks into their mouths almost all the time.

Even if there is food, there are still many children crying secretly, they are very tired, regretful, and want to go back!

Don't want to go anymore!
