Chapter Twenty-Six: The Devil Barks His Teeth
On a monotonous snowy night, only the wind is running, and the palm-sized snow flakes are flying. General Yin and Xiao Wang chatted about the past of the rivers and lakes with the wind and snow. At the beginning, the child smiled and said that this was another kind of wind and snow, and as the night deepened, gradually, Xiao Wang stopped talking and fell asleep in the arms of the tiger king.
Looking at the child in his arms, General Yin loved and was angry, if he went back to sleep in the plow early, how comfortable it would be. Although I don't worry that this child will freeze, after all, there is a Dao Law in his body, and his physique is very different from ordinary people. It's just that the temperature of minus 40 degrees is not harmful. Although Xiao Wang's mana can't be used, it's not a big deal. What's more, General Yin still has the ability to shelter from the wind and snow and defend against wind and cold. In the darkness, I could vaguely see the smile on the child's face, and I didn't know if I was thinking of my parents or reminiscing about the strange experiences of the past few days. It's still a kid after all. Thinking of this, General Yin also came out of his mind for a while. This kind of distraction is not common for masters, although once an unexpected situation occurs, it will suddenly recover its state, and it will never be like an ordinary person.
The wind blows through the treetops, and the sound of angry waves is like a river crashing on the shore. The cold wind through the canyon howls like a ghost. The wind and snow hit the face, and it really hurt to cut the knife. What's more, it gradually came to the coldest time of the day - the ghost bared his teeth.
The lowest temperature of the day in winter is generally at dawn, when the common people call it "Ghost Teeth". The so-called "ghost teeth" means that people are frozen outside at this time, and they look like little ghosts from a distance. The time period of "ghost teeth" is about four o'clock in the morning in the winter of Northeast China, that is, when the east is bright and the sun has not yet come out.
At three o'clock in the morning, when people first came out, it was not too cold outside, and there was no frost on the ground. But at more than four o'clock, a white layer of frost was hung on the ground of the yard and on the crops, and a thin layer of frost appeared on the trees around the yard, which is what people call "tree hanging", also called "rime". At this time, people stood outside and felt the cold that could not be resisted. The man with the cotton hat wraps the hat tightly around his face, exposing only his eyes, nose and mouth. At this time, the eyelashes are covered with hoarfrost, and the teeth are bared, like a little ghost. Although it is exaggerated to pee and freeze directly into icicles, it is not uncommon to freeze the body, or freeze the ears, fingers, and toes.
In winter, the hands and feet are exposed for a long time, and the blood vessels constrict and blood flow decreases. At this time, if you wash with hot water immediately, the blood vessels will be paralyzed, the contractility will be lost, and arterial blood stasis and capillary dilation will occur, and local blood stasis will occur. Mild ones form chilblains, and severe ones cause tissue necrosis. Therefore, frozen hands and feet can only be gently rubbed with snow to slowly return to normal temperature. Most of the northern residents know that frozen hands cannot be washed with hot water, but can only be slowly rubbed with snow to soothe them, otherwise the skin is prone to necrosis and ulceration.
"It's coming. General Yin patted Xiao Wang lightly and woke him up from his dream.
Xiao Wang didn't drag the mud and water, let alone get up, and directly set his eyes on General Yin's direction.
The darkness of the night was deep, as if the storm did not make the darkness lighter or thinner, but rather fueled the evil temper of the god of the night.
The shadows can be seen from behind the thick curtain of wind and snow, and a group of people walking in the distance.
"Why are there so many people? Could it be Sun Fatzi's people?" Xiao Wang was inclined to Zhang Fugui more in his heart after all.
"It's also possible. After all, Zhang Fugui just appeared at the auction alone. However, it is not easy to say, after all, the power of Jiapigou is not too public, but the background is definitely full of color. General Yin analyzed.
Zhang Fugui acted alone, maybe in the periphery, there were also a lot of people in Jiapigou. This is absolutely possible, after all, this is also a super force in the Northeast, if it is just Zhang Fugui doing things alone, it will make people feel that there is a problem.
While they were talking, the group walked to the valley mouth. Xiao Wang's eyes were sharp, and he shouted in a low voice: "It's Zhang Fugui, and that Bayun Mountain of the Aurora Society." Didn't he say there was a secret auction?"
General Yin was also puzzled and did not answer Xiao Wang's question. The two waited and watched.
"Stop!" I saw Ba Yunshan wave his hand, and everyone stopped. General Yin and Xiao Wang saw it more clearly, there were nine people in this group. Except for Zhang Fugui and Ba Yunshan, who I saw at the auction, they are all fresh faces and don't know each other.
This group of people came all the way by several horses and plows, and it is conceivable that one of them pulled up the plough was the sturgeon fish of nearly 400 catties. Two people walked in front of the team, namely Ba Yunshan and Zhang Fugui, and four people led horses to climb the plow, and followed behind the two in turn.
At this time, it can also be seen that although the horse climbing plow is also convenient, in terms of speed, after all, it is not as good as the dog climbing the plow. But it's not easy to think of enough dogs to pull the plough for these people. From this, we can know more about how precious the climbing plough pulled by the eight Mongolian dogs that General Yin rode on. Of course, after all, whether it's the Aurora Society, or the more powerful Jiapigou, compared to Xiong Shanjun, it's not enough to see.
At this time, the horse must have been a little tired from running, and the snow in this valley is not very suitable for horses to climb the plow and pass easily. Of course, there are security considerations.
"The people in the plough have a lot of backgrounds. General Yin said this thoughtlessly.
Xiao Wang didn't seem surprised, because he had already seen that Ba Yunshan stopped the team after hearing someone's command. And after Bayunshan stopped the team, he didn't say anything, just stood there quietly, without even a trace of impatience. Even Zhang Fugui, who has always seemed to give no face to anyone, is extremely low-key and does not have the slightest anger.
"The heavenly master has an order, and the night is small to avoid. Ba Yunshan suddenly said loudly, full of energy, not affected in the wind and snow, and spread to several nearby hills. The sound is substantial, but there is no danger of being blown away by the wind. This hand can be seen that although it is slightly inferior to the sonic boom on Zhang Fugui's river, it is not far behind.
It seems that a long time has passed, but in fact it is only a few breaths, and the time feels very long because of the wait.
"Now that you've been detected, it's better to come out on your own, and I'll say that the sneak attack will definitely be in vain. A shrill voice floated from the wind, like the sound of a stone scraping glass, and it made people uncomfortable to hear. Along with this noise, there were more than a dozen figures standing up from the snow.
"When this devil bared his teeth, he still had to suffer this sin. Just get it. "The other voice isn't so annoying, but I can't tell whether it's a boy or a girl, and it still feels weird.
There are several feet of snow on the ground, and people with kung fu on their bodies can hide under the snow, which is a very good way.
