When I woke up, it was white outside, and the whole mountain was covered with snow.

There is a fire burning in the cave all the time, and you can feel the cold.

Shen Xingwan stretched out his frozen hand to the fire and roasted it, and his body slowly warmed up.

Mo Beichen took people out early in the morning to find food to survey the terrain, and Fat Meow was not there.

Shen Ruoyan yawned and called Shang Mingyi, ready to go to the stream to catch fish.

Shen Xingwan stood up against the wall, "I'll go out and have a look." ”

Shen Ruoyan, "I'll help you." ”

Shen Xingwan, "No, it's the shoulder that hurts, not the leg, I can walk by myself." ”

The three of us got up and walked in the snow for a while, and I heard the sound of running water.

There is a clear stream in front of it, and it doesn't freeze in the mountains in such a cold weather.

There were fish in the depths of the stream, and the two of them cut down the bamboo and sharpened the tip of the bamboo to insert the fish.

Shen Xingwan was distracted by the cheerful stream that flowed.

It doesn't freeze because it's a pool of living water, and it also means that there is a source.

Even Shen Xingwan found precious orchids in the process of walking along the stream.

It's pretty in the snow, and it's beautiful.

Soon the two forked more than a dozen fish, and Shen Ruoyan beckoned to her, signaling that it was time for her to go back.

Back in the cave, Fat Meow is already waiting for him by the fire.

Fat Meow, "Ben Meow went out to inspect the enemy before dawn, guess what I discovered?" ”

For the sake of his usefulness, Shen Xingwan gently pinched his neck and gently scratched his chin, "Say it quickly." ”

Fat Meow's tail stood up and exploded, "Just say it, don't laugh so much, you'll be scared to death." ”

"I found animal footprints more than ten miles away, probably dogs, and it looks like they almost came to me."

Shen Xingwan looked up at the heavy snow outside, which was a foot deep.

Thanks to this snow, which covered up all whereabouts and smells, otherwise they would have probably been found last night.

Dog? Shen Xingwan's heart moved, and asked Shen Ruoyan, "Did my aunt say that what means did Yulongwei use to track the enemy?" ”

Shen Ruoyan thought for a while, "It is said that it is a very rare hunting dog brought back from a mysterious small country, and it is invincible in tracking. ”

"I know what it is." Shen Xing said late.

Who made her usually a lover of essays and ambitions, and the Shen family, as a clan that has been passed down for generations, has everything in the collection of books in the Shen family's study.

Shen Xingwan's favorite thing to do in countless boring nights is to pick an interesting miscellaneous book to pass the time.

There is a travel notebook, from the Shen family, a talented man who loves to travel, and he has spent almost all decades of his life in travel.

I've been to a lot of strange places, lesser-known tribes, small countries on the edges.

One of them mentions a tribe hidden deep in the mountains, where people lived by hunting. There is a bloody hound there that can track the scent for more than half a month, and the continuous tracking of the scent can exceed two hundred kilometers.

Shen Xingwan watched everyone cook fish while telling the travelogue he had read.

Mo Beichen frowned, "No wonder, it is rumored that as long as they are targeted, they will not be able to hide from the ends of the earth, with such a strong tracking ability, no matter how they escape, they will be found." ”

Judging from the footprints found by Fat Meow, they have found this neighborhood because this sudden heavy snow has masked the smell and tracks, and they have talked about it.

The place that Fat Meow chose is indeed very secretive.

Ming Yi said worriedly, "Isn't that as soon as we go out, or as soon as the snow melts, we will be tracked down for a long time?" ”

This is indeed the biggest trouble they need to solve if they want to escape.

Everyone was lost in thought.

Shen Xingwan was eating fish, and at the same time communicated with Fat Meow in his heart, "You have a system, you won't have a taste, right?" ”

Fat meow, "Of course this meow can be colorless and odorless." ”

Shen Xingwan, "Hehe, eat more, it's time for you to contribute." ”

After eating, there was heavy snow in the sky again, although it was cold. For them, it's a good thing for the time being.

Shen Xingwan stood at the entrance of the cave and looked at the heavy snow, and Mo Beichen stood side by side with her, "What do you think?" ”

Shen Xingwan, "The sound of the east and the west disturbs the judgment ability of the tracking dog." ”

Mo Beichen looked up at the sky, "This snow won't stop for a while, we have to hurry up." ”

Mo Beichen gathered everyone together, "Your current task, no matter what method you use, is to catch as many live animals as possible today." ”

"Remember to live!"

"Understood!"

The Secret Guards were commanded, they were already the most highly trained professionals, and this requirement was not difficult for them.

Mo Beichen told Bai Yu, "Don't let people run out of this canyon." ”

Now that the canyon has not been discovered, it is the safest.

He looked at Shen Xingwan's figure and went to hunt animals lightly.

Shen Xingwan took Shen Ruoyan and Ming Yi to the stream.

Find a thousand orchids you came across this morning, "Leave a few untouched, and dig up all the rest." ”

Mingyi stayed to dig up flowers.

Shen Xingwan took Shen Ruoyan and continued to walk along the stream, and gave Fat Meow a new task to find out if there were any cedars in the valley.

She and Shen Ruoyan walked for a long time, and the more they walked, the bigger the stream became.

Shen Xingwan breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems that God still leaves us a glimmer of life." ”

By the time the two of them walked back again, it was already dark.

Fat Meow found the cedar, and Shen Xingwan asked Shen Ruoyan to go with him, cut the bark with a knife, and take the oil from the cedar.

He returned to the cave, avoided the innermost part and took off the outsiders, and then took off the second layer of clothing.

Fortunately, it's winter, so I wear a lot to keep warm.

Shen Xingwan divided the smell of his clothes into dozens with a knife.

In the evening, everyone returned.

Someone caught a rabbit, someone caught a squirrel, someone caught a deer......

In total, more than twenty live prey were caught alive.

Everyone started to tie strips of cloth to the animals for these things.

Shen Xingwan, "Get these animals out of the canyon and release them all over the mountain, hoping to disturb the tracking of the hounds." ”

Waiting for Shen Ruoyan to retrieve the grease from a bamboo tube, Shen Xingwan distributed the grease to the person in charge of releasing the animals and asked them to apply it to their bodies.

This grease can be effective in masking the smell on their bodies, and another person stuffed orchids into their arms.

There aren't many smelly flowers that you can find in winter, so you have to try them.

White Feather took three people to the entrance of the cave with all the prey, ready to release the animals.

Shen Xingwan, "I hope we have good luck, not to be discovered." ”

Shen Ruoyan took people to continue to fetch grease, and Shen Xingwan discussed the follow-up with Mo Beichen.

Tomorrow at dawn I will go and follow the stream.

In fact, the best way to mask the smell is to walk through the water.

The hounds could no longer track them in the water, but it was winter, and if they did, they would freeze to death.
