Chapter 423: The Willows Are Bright
After that, Fu Heng did not go out again.
Because it was completely useless, there was no direction in the Kuroshio, there was not even a sense of distance, and there was no way to know how large the Kuroshio was, and by some indications, it was likely that the entire great glacier was shrouded in the Kuroshio, and if so, how could you get out? It is better to nest in this fortress, at least to block the cold wind and keep warm.
For three days, Fu Heng took Grace around the fortress at most, trying to see if he could find some dry firewood and food, but the ghost place of the Great Glacier was the most frozen ice skates that were harder than gold and iron and the broken stones that could be seen everywhere, and occasionally low ferns would quickly freeze to death if they popped up in the cracks of the stones, which was a real dead Jedi.
However, Fu Heng still did not give up, and kept looking for Grace in the fortress on his back, not letting go of a grain of rice, dismantling all the wooden tables and chairs and lighting them, and burning everything that could be burned. But just like that, the bonfire in front of me is still about to go out.
Counting the days, looking at the bonfire that was getting weaker and weaker, the two of them became more and more desperate.
Maybe it's really the way to the end.
On this day, Fu Heng carried Grace on his back and found a utility room in the fortress, which contained old tables and chairs, as well as broken weapons.
Fu Heng was overjoyed, smashed the contents with one punch, and didn't care about anything else, piled up all these fragments together, and transported them to the bonfire in the center of the fortress one by one, these things could be burned for two more days, and they could get along together for two more days.
The torches had long since run out, and Fu Heng was now using a simple torch he had made out of a few pieces of firewood bundled together.
Grace carried the torch on his back, and he picked up the broken debris.
Suddenly, he found a metal ring, this thing can't be burned, so he picked it up, ready to throw it aside, who knew that this pull was not pulled, Fu Heng felt a little strange in his heart, brute force attack, forced the copper ring up, and attached a whole half-human high stone slab.
This is?
As if she had a heart in her mind, she drew close to the torch and saw a huge cellar below, full of things.
Seeing this, Fu Heng jumped down with Grace on his back, and when he saw what was inside, both of them were happy.
This may have been prepared by the Penghu guards in order to deal with the Kuroshio, there are a large number of materials in it, and it is even divided into many compartments to store, there are places for storing grain, there are places for storing meat and vegetables, there are places for storing wine, and there are places for storing strategic weapons such as firearms, but ......
But there is no fire.
This cooled their joy a little.
Fu Heng only found two buckets of fuel oil and a bundle of dry firewood in a compartment that was supposed to store the fire, and the rest of the place was empty.
He immediately thought that Xi Feng led a large army to go to Weihu Island with Tong Ba, as if he wanted to bring back that batch of shark oil.
As Grace said, the shark oil is much stronger than the fuel firewood no matter the light released by combustion and the length of time it burns, and it burns not only without a peculiar smell but also a strange fragrance.
But that batch of shark oil seems to have been destroyed by him, some of it was burned directly, and some of it sank to the bottom of the lake, completely destroyed and could no longer be used. Is this a self-digging grave in another sense? Fu Heng wanted to smile bitterly, but he could only comfort himself, if it is destroyed, it will be destroyed, and it is not appropriate to use the grease made from the corpse of her clan to set fire in front of Grace.
Fortunately, there are still two barrels of oil and a bundle of dry firewood, which can be saved, and with the wine in that whole compartment, it can be burned for another month or two, I just hope that this black tide will disperse as soon as possible.
There is no concept of time in the black tide, and the two of them have been busy for a long time before they can be considered to have set up a comfortable nest, and the next thing is to save their physical strength to stay up here for time.
It is impossible for them to go farther, firstly, because they can't take so much with them, secondly, they will only weaken faster when they are exposed to the wilderness without a house, and where they can go even if they walk without knowing their direction and not sensing distance. And once you go out, it is very likely that you will get lost again, and when the time comes, if you want to come back, you may never come back.
Therefore, they can only rely on the food, water and fire things they find here, and boil until the black tide recedes, if they can't survive, it is a dead end, if they survive to the end, the food, water and even the fire things are exhausted, then the same result awaits them.
Fu Heng stacked up all the bedding that had not been scavenged, spread it around the bonfire, and then hugged Grace and began to boil it.
Kuroshio really has the ability to turn good things into bad things and bad things into bad things.
Originally, with Fu Heng's physical fitness in the Heavenly Realm, even if he didn't wear clothes, he could resist the severe cold of the Great Glacier, but in the Black Tide, there was a kind of coldness that made people feel from the heart.
But fortunately, it is not so cold all the time in the Kuroshio, and sometimes it will be eased, so the two people who have no concept of time identify this period as daytime, and the period when the cold can't stand it is defined as night, so they count it by drawing "positive".
For the first ten days, the Kuroshio did not recede.
With plenty of food and water, Grace was in better spirits and her injuries were no longer getting worse. But it's just boring, in addition to eating, the two of them spend it shivering, which may be the reason for the Black Tide, which makes people hungry very fast, and when they are hungry, they are cold, cold through the bone marrow. The only good news may be that they can sleep peacefully, and as long as the fire is present, foreign objects in the Kuroshio will not move, that is, as long as they keep the bonfire intended, they are absolutely safe in the Kuroshio.
In the second ten days, the Kuroshio Tide still did not recede.
Twenty days of loneliness, except for eating and sleeping, can't do anything, it's really crazy, but because of each other, the two of them are quite peaceful.
"Tell me your story. Grace couldn't resist the loneliness of the proposal.
It's also that they've finished saying everything they need to say in the past few days, such as what to sleep and rest, how to plan and arrange food, water and burning materials to save longer, these boring topics can be discussed by them for a long time.
"My story?" Fu Heng was stunned for a moment and said, "What's so good about my story?"
"I want to hear it. Grace was still as free and easy as ever, skewered the two steamed buns, put them on the fire and roasted them, took a pair of big watery eyes, and looked at Fu Heng like this, there seemed to be a thousand styles in her eyes, and there were all kinds of feelings.
