Chapter 128: The Snow Keeps Falling

The seven of them had already searched Camp 3 before, and there were some things they were reluctant to take, but this second time they collected things, none of them disliked the things in the tent in the camp.

Before, because I disliked instant noodles, I couldn't soak them at all, so no one took instant noodles, but now the remaining four boxes of Master Duokang in the camp have all been collected.

I used to dislike the smell of the bedding in the tent, but now no one dislikes it, and I didn't say anything, all of them were moved to the cave.

Although most of the beds are the kind of folding wire beds, there are also a few beds that are made of wood, so naturally they will not be spared.

Before, I only collected part of the coal because I hated dirt and sinking, but now no one dislikes dirty and sinking, and I get rid of it all.

The seven of them, like ants moving, stepped on the snow that had reached their feet and necks, and went round by round to get everything that could be used in the camp into the cave. Even the cave couldn't fit down, so I put things in the adjacent cave.

Although the high cliff on the north side of the Holy Elephant Heavenly Gate is not very high, there are many caves on the side facing Namtso. Some caves can only accommodate one or two people, while others can accommodate more than a dozen people.

These caves are the same caves that the monks practiced here a long time ago, because there is a ruined temple on the north side of the Icon Heavenly Gate. I just don't know why this temple is broken like this.

But judging from the traces left of this temple, this temple should have been quite large a long time ago.

It was in these caves that the ascetic monks practiced.

Legend has it that there was a cave on the north shore of Namtso where Guru Padmasambhava practiced penance, so many monks came to this area and found the cave in the cliff to start their penance......

It took seven people more than two hours to get everything they could move.

If it weren't for Lao Liu blocking it, maybe these ruthless guys would have dismantled those tents and transported them over......

Labor is the most glorious!

And labor is not only glorious, but also makes a team more cohesive.

To be honest, this small team was not a real team at all, at best it was a makeshift gang......

But after today's labor, the relationship between the seven people suddenly became more harmonious and united.

When the work was almost finished, the three ladies were driven back to the cave by four men, and they called it "making supper".

When the work is done, the supper is ready.

Not to mention, this supper can be regarded as a wine, meat, vegetables and noodles, quite hearty!

First poured all the leftover mutton into the pot and boiled it in a pot, and then seven people stewed mushrooms with seven packets of Master Kong's chicken, adding a little more dehydrated vegetables to it, plus the mutual aid barley wine collected from the camp at night, this supper was good.

Because of their work, several people are not as dull as before.

Things have come to this point, even if they want to, they can't go, so they can only honestly wait here for the arrival of the rescue team.

Instead of being depressed, why not be happy?

There is wine, meat, vegetables and food, there is enough fuel, and there are even more beautiful and handsome men talking to relieve boredom, what else do you ask for?

So seven people drank more than three catties of barley wine at a supper, and even the three ladies drank three taels of wine without anyone.

With the strength of the wine, the seven of them had a good night's sleep.

When Lao Liu woke up according to his biological clock, the white lion fart came over and stretched out his big tongue to lick Lao Liu's hand.

Seeing the white lion like this, Lao Liu's heart was also sour, he knew that the white lion was hungry.

Yesterday the White Lion had a meal. Although the white lion only eats two meals a day now, in terms of the amount of food it eats, one meal a day will definitely make it hungry.

patting the white lion's head, Lao Liu whispered: "Son, we have to eat less these days, there is not enough food." ”

The white lion stared at his father with a pair of small eyes, as if he understood his father's words, shook his head and snored, turned around and ran to the entrance of the cave and lay down.

Lao Liu was distressed, so he decided to get the child a meal.

The movement of Lao Liu getting up woke up Chu Qian, she got dressed in the tent and got out, her fluffy hair looked cute and cute.

"How did you sleep last night?" Did you feel cold?"

"It's okay, I've gotten used to it these days, and I didn't feel any different yesterday than before. ”

"Well, then I'll get some water and you can wash up. ”

"Let's do it together. Chu Qian smiled, pulled her hair into a bun, and then picked up a basin collected from the camp and followed Lao Liu out of the cave.

The snow was still heavy, and there was no wind at all, which made Lao Liu completely cut off the idea of being rescued earlier.

Everyone knows that as long as it snows heavily, it will hardly be windy. Once the wind picks up, it means that the sky is going to be clear.

And now in this situation, it has been snowing all night, and there is not a trace of wind, and the devil knows when this snow will fall.

The overnight snow had covered the outside in a silvery white.

The sky was still gloomy lead gray, and Namco, which was originally blue like a piece of blue crystal, was also a frightening lead gray, and Lao Liu didn't even see a single wave.

The entire heaven and earth, except for the lead-gray sky and the same color of Namco, all turned silvery-white, without any variegation at all, and even the Holy Elephant Heavenly Gate not far away was covered with a heavy layer of snow.

"You're behind me, don't run around. I'll go out first, and you follow me. Lao Liu said and walked out of the hole, but when he stepped down, the snow was directly below his knees......

Seeing Lao Liu's somewhat embarrassed appearance, Chu Qian chuckled without conscience, "Hold me, I'm going to go in and have fun too." Although there are occasional light snowfalls in Hangzhou in winter, there has never been such a big snowfall. ”

Lao Liu stretched out his hand to hold Chu Qian's little hand, and the temperature of each other's palms made both of them tremble in their hearts.

Lao Liu's hand was slightly forced, he grabbed Chu Qian's hand, and said with a smile: "Don't talk about you Hangzhou, even if we are in Dongshan, except for the peninsula, such a big snow has never appeared in the past twenty years." ”

Chu Qian took Lao Liu's hand and walked into the snow, and the heavy snow also directly covered her knees, which made Chu Qian, who had never seen such a heavy snow, almost cheer happily.

"Don't go any further, let's fetch snow here and go back to boiling water. ”

"The snow here is so clean. Chu Qian was sincerely admired.

"Of course, there's no industrial pollution here, and the snow is cleaner than the tap water down there. Lao Liu scooped a basin of snow with a large basin, and then walked into the cave with both hands.

After collecting a few briquette stoves from the camp, Lao Liu picked up some fine firewood to ignite the coal, and put this pot of snow on the mouth of the stove, and after a while, a large pot of snow turned into boiling snow water......

The movement of the two of them boiling water woke up the others as well, and one by one they unkempt unkempt and unzipped their tents and got out of it.

Seeing that a large basin of snow water was about to boil, a few people were a little embarrassed to get busy.

Fortunately, I was used to doing this kind of work a few days before, and everyone didn't find it cumbersome.

In an outdoor area where there is no running water or natural gas stove, it is already a luxury to be able to boil water for washing like this.

After breakfast, Lao Liu was ready to attack one of the goats.

Watching the white lion eating with his eyes on the side, Lao Liu felt better?

"First of all, guys, I have to state that when I bought these two sheep yesterday, one of them was set aside for my white lion as rations. My white lion doesn't eat anything else, it only eats meat, so ......"

What Lao Liu didn't expect was that before he finished his words, several other people said that this was as it should be.

These days of getting along made Zhang Xinggang and them also like the white lion. Although the white lion ignores them, no one is stupid, and everyone can see that the white lion is a really good dog.

Besides, the two goats themselves were bought by Liu Moang, so they naturally have the right to deal with these two goats.

"Okay, then I'll thank you all for being here. In fact, each of these two sheep has nearly 60 catties, and each sheep has almost 30 catties of meat alone. There are seven of us, if one person eats half a catty of meat a day, the meat of a sheep can last for nearly ten days. ”

Wang Yan stuck out her tongue and said, "I can't eat half a catty of mutton in a day, if that's the case, when we are rescued, I will become a fat woman." ”

Fang Zhenzhen and Chu Qian's attitudes are the same as Wang Yan's.

This really can't be helped, in this era, women regard their figure as more important than life......

Lao Liu led a sheep out of the cave with a piece of rope, of course he couldn't slaughter the goat in the cave, and of course, he wouldn't slaughter the goat around here.

In any case, this is a holy place for Tibetan Buddhism, and Lao Liu doesn't want to desecrate it.

After walking eastward with difficulty in the snow under the heavy snow, Lao Liu came to a clearing between two high cliffs.

At this moment, Lao Liu has almost become a snowman, which shows how big the snow is.

Lao Liu walked better in the snow, but the sheep was unlucky. The snow that was up to people's knees almost buried the sheep......

As a last resort, in the end, Lao Liu could only pick up the sheep and walk the last part of the road.

The other three men also followed, Zhang Xinggang was purely helping, and Hao Lei and Teng Zhixin, the two pieces of small fresh meat, wanted to see with their own eyes how to slaughter sheep.

The goat also seemed to be aware of its fate, and kept writhing in Lao Liu's arms, trying to break free from Lao Liu's powerful arms. But he couldn't stand the fact that Lao Liu had been drinking spring water all day for the past two months, and his strength was no longer what it used to be. The two arms hugged the goat tightly, and the goat was stunned to do nothing.

"Alright, this is it. Brother Gang, you tie the four hooves of this sheep with a rope and tie them strongly, otherwise if this sheep runs away, our rations will be reduced by one-third. ”

"Don't worry, although my brother has never slaughtered sheep with his own hands, when I went to the grassland with your sister-in-law to play, I didn't miss watching the herdsmen slaughtering sheep over there. "There is Lao Liu imprisoning the goat, and Zhang Xinggang is not very difficult to tie the sheep's hooves.

While Lao Liu and Zhang Xing were just busy working on the sheep, Hao Lei and Teng Zhixin cleared out a vacant land.

Lao Liu threw the sheep with the hooves tied on the open ground, took out the Tibetan knife given to him by Tashi Dawa from his waist, grabbed the horns of the sheep with one hand and lifted the sheep's head, and wiped the throat of the sheep with the knife in the other......

This knife is still extremely sharp, this knife directly cut off the sheep's throat and blood vessels, and as soon as he let go, the sheep could only struggle helplessly on the ground.

"It's a pity that this sheep's blood is ......" Lao Liu felt a little sorry.

Under such conditions, sheep blood naturally cannot be saved. Even if the sheep blood is received, it is not delicious to make without condiments.

Sheep slaughtering was learned by Lao Liu from Tashi Dawa's father during this time.

After the inn's business began to boom, Tashi Dawa's father came over from time to time to help slaughter sheep, and Lao Liu learned a lot of tricks and slaughtered a few sheep himself. I didn't expect the trick I learned in the inn to be used here.

After the sheep was completely out of breath, Lao Liu began to disembowel and then peel the skin.

Be careful not to cut the internal organs, otherwise the internal organs will be completely blind. Sheep have four stomachs, which is quite troublesome to make. Although the sheep has not been fed since yesterday, it is still necessary to pay attention to not contaminating the internal organs of the sheep's stomach and intestines when slaughtering the sheep.

These offal are the lion's favorite food.

As for peeling, because there is no special blowing pipe, it is impossible to blow up the sheepskin, so it is more difficult to peel the skin.

The four of them tossed in the snow for nearly an hour before they could be considered to have cleaned up the sheep. However, this sheep does not look big, but it is quite fat.

Today, the brothers are also addicted to slaughtering fat sheep......

There was no way to get the sheepskin, so it had to be buried in the snow along with the bloodstains. Supposedly, a pit should be dug and buried, so as not to attract wild beasts, but in this case, there is no way to dig a pit, so it can only be buried with snow.

Half a basin of internal organs was filled, and the white lion could eat two meals if he saved some food. The sheep's head and the shaved sheep bones are also destined to be the food of the white lion.

The four of them took the dismembered sheep back to the cave, and the white lion kept circling around Lao Liu, and when he saw this, Lao Liu threw the sheep liver and a piece of sheep intestines into a basin and brought them to the white lion, and the guy began to feast.

Of course, the white lion eats more bloody, so it naturally eats outside the cave. scared the three flowers and plants in the cave, and Lao Liu's sin was great.

While the white lion was eating the offal, Lao Liu cooked another piece of mutton for the white lion.

After the white lion was full, this guy seemed to understand the shortage of food, so he just lay down at the mouth of the cave and didn't move. This saves energy and reduces food consumption......

At this time, the seven of them were completely quiet, and they also had the mind to begin to enjoy the surrounding scenery.

However, in this kind of weather, it is a luxury to want to see the surrounding scenery.

The snow was so heavy that the visibility was at most 100 meters, and everyone standing in the cave couldn't even see the Holy Elephant Heavenly Gate more than 200 meters away......

As for Namtso in the distance and the Nianqing Tanggula Mountain on the other side of the lake, it is even more invisible.

I wanted to go out and take a closer look, but with this snow, going out was purely to find guilt.

So a few people stood at the entrance of the cave and stared at it for a long time, and finally could only turn their heads back helplessly.

However, when Teng Zhixin was collecting supplies yesterday, he didn't know where to turn over a few decks of pokers, so playing poker became the only pastime for the seven people......
