Chapter 8 New Home
The first ray of sunshine in the morning dispels the darkness, the fiery red sun jumps out of the horizon, the howling wind all night gradually subsides, the heavy snow no longer rages, only the ice particles lifted by the wind swirl in the morning light, under the sunlight, they seem like grains of ice Shiny crystals.
The pack of wolves didn't stay near the frozen lake for long, eating the mutant bears and stags, and continued westward under the leadership of the alpha wolf, chasing the migrating deer herd in the snow field.
Although the stay of the wolves was short, it also had a considerable impact. Frightened by the threat of the wolves, some of the mutated beasts that hunted at night temporarily retreated into the depths of the forest on both sides, making the vicinity of the ice lake a "vacuum" zone. Within a short period of time, it is safer than any area in the snow field.
The snowmobile was covered with several inches of snow, and the sunlight shone into the cabin through the gaps between the snow blocks, casting spots of light on the thick blanket.
Under the blanket, Ye An opened his eyes, realizing that he had slept all night, he couldn't help being startled, sat up suddenly, and almost hit the roof of the car.
The front windows of the car were covered with snow, and only a few rays of light could be seen through the gaps.
Ye An rubbed his face hard, curled his fingers to press the corners of his eyes, got over the dry eyeballs when he first woke up, and listened to the sounds outside the car, making sure that there were no roars of mutant beasts, nor any sound of gravity crushing the snow. Carefully opened the door, intending to go outside the car to find out.
It snowed heavily all night, and the car body was half-sinked in the snow. Ye An took a lot of effort, even rolled down the car window, cleared away the frozen snow, and managed to open the car door.
The moment he got out of the snowmobile, the sun fell on his face, Ye An subconsciously squinted his eyes, and covered his forehead with one hand, feeling quite uncomfortable.
Accustomed to the gloomy weather, suddenly the sun is shining, which always gives people a sense of unreality.
The sun was rising higher and higher, and there was no sign of a large mutant beast nearby. Instead, two squirrels shuttled between the canopy of the tree and found Ye An on the ground. They didn't stay long and disappeared into the pine forest.
Ye An checked the wounds on his arms and legs, but fortunately there was no inflammation, and the superficial parts of the wounds had begun to scab.The wound on the palm was a little troublesome, it was cut across the entire palm, it was extremely deep, and it was connected with chilblain, it looked very bad.
Ye An moved his fingers a few times to make sure that no tendons or bones were injured. He dug out the medicine left by Mingfang from the trunk, found the medicine powder in a small brown bottle, and carefully sprinkled it on the valgus flesh.
"hiss--"
The wound medicine was very effective and extremely irritating. When it was sprinkled on the wound, it was like pouring a bottle of disinfectant alcohol. The pain made Ye An keep hissing coldly. He didn't dare to touch the wound. After jumping a few times, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
When the tingling pain subsided, Ye An pulled out a clean cloth strip, bit one end in his mouth, wrapped one hand around the injured palm, and tied it tightly.
"rare."
Raising his injured hand and looking at the bandaged wound, Ye An was having fun in his bitterness. After coming for so long, he finally used the medicine, and he didn't need to rely on his resistance to bear it.
"Work!"
After the wound was treated, Ye An took out the shovel and rope from the trunk, and tied the short knife and the broken handle of the shovel together to use it as a sickle.
Although the snow has stopped, the temperature is still very low.
Ye An didn't have a coat to keep out the cold, and it was inconvenient to work wrapped in a blanket, so he simply cut a piece of the blanket from the middle, put it on his body, and then tied it tightly around his waist with a rope.
The cut blankets were not wasted, and wrapped around the legs, they were also very warm.
After making all preparations, Ye An returned to pile the snow blocks back to their original positions, hid the snowmobile, then picked up the shovel and scythe and walked towards the wooden house.
During yesterday's fight, the bark of the rocks in front of the house was trampled to pieces by the mutant bear, and was crushed when Ye An dragged away the corpse, leaving a lot of clots of blood in the gaps between the gravel.
Ye An climbed up a snowdrift, raised his eyes to look around, found no danger, quickly returned to the ground, picked up a dark red blood clot from the ground, held it in his hand for a while, then put it in his mouth and chewed it. Nothing wasted.
The wooden house was left open all night, and the smell in the house was blown away a lot, but it was relatively speaking.Ye An wanted to live in, so he had to clean up in advance.
The hay collected by the mutant bears needs to be thrown away, and the strewn bones and excrement that marks the territory must be cleaned up.Also, inspect the roof and walls, and reinstall windows and doors.
The mutant beast does not know when it will appear, Ye An must hurry up and complete the cleaning work as soon as possible.The windows were temporarily sealed with bark and ice, leaving holes for ventilation.The door of the house can imitate the mutant bear and block it with stones and hay.Wait for him to find the right wood before making further improvements.
"Work!"
Ye An waved the shovel, scooped up the hay, bones and other sundries in the wooden house, gathered them into piles, and pushed them out of the house one by one.
Regardless of the small size of the wooden house, there must be a lot of hay and bones shoveled out, and each pile was higher than Ye An's knees.
After cleaning every corner of the room and shoveling down the mud mixed with hair on the wall, Ye An wiped off the hot sweat on his forehead, and found that the ground in the house was dug down by at least three inches.
During the cleaning process, Ye An found a mud stove near the wall.It was probably used by the mutant bear as a scratching tool, and the chimney that extended to the roof was rubbed extra smooth, as if it had been polished.There are several cracks on the stove, but fortunately there are no large pieces of defects, so it should not affect the use.
After this surprise, Ye An didn't find anything that could be used, but was almost bitten by a mutant cockroach when cleaning the bones.
Ye An pressed the cockroach's body with a shovel, watched the cockroach's tentacles constantly swing, spread its jagged wings, and cut the cockroach in two with power.Finding that the corpse was still moving, he raised the shovel and slapped it hard several times, until the cockroaches were slapped beyond recognition before being scooped up together with the soil and thrown out of the house.
In the next half an hour, Ye An slapped more than a dozen cockroaches and found two centipede mummies, each with the length of an arm, and the inside had been hollowed out. The hard shell became the best place for the mutant cockroaches to hide .
When the centipede was shoveled out of the house, heavy snow suddenly fell from the sky, and hailstones fell in a few hectares.
Ye An didn't dare to go out in the snow, so he could only stay inside the house temporarily, sitting on the ground by the door.
Looking at the flying snow in the sky, and hearing the crackling sound of hailstones hitting the roof, Ye An felt a little dazed. Recalling all the things after coming to this world, he suddenly felt a sense of falling, almost out of breath.
A black shadow flitted across the sky, and its wings spread more than three meters.
The chirping sound broke through the wind and snow, and also awakened Ye An who was in deep thought.
"It's hard to live, so I don't have time to think about it."
Ye An slapped himself hard on the face, stood up and moved his hands and feet to make sure he wouldn't lose his temperature.When the snow decreased and the hail stopped falling from the sky, they quickly walked out of the house, shoveled up the frozen hay and bones, dragged them away with ropes and discarded them.
The skeleton left by the mutated bear in front of the house was already frozen with the ground and could not be shoveled up at all.Ye An really had no choice but to think of a way later.
Ye An was busy from early morning to sunset. When it was dark, the wooden house was no longer messy, and the pungent smell mostly dissipated, so it wouldn't blind people's eyes.
Ye An stuck the shovel into the snow, chewing on half a piece of jerky, which was too hard to swallow.Bend down and grab a handful of snow, and serve it with jerky.
"Should be busy tomorrow."
Swallowing the dried meat and snow water, Ye An took a look at the sky, sealed the door again, and planned to return to the snowmobile to rest.
There was a sudden sound of an engine, and Ye An's heart trembled. Before returning to the snowmobile, he immediately dug a snow nest behind the snowdrift, and quickly rolled twice on the snow to ensure that his body was covered with snow. Hid in.
The sound of the engine came from far to near, and two snowmobiles sped up one after another.
Passing by the wooden house, the car slowed down for a while, and finally stopped less than three meters away from the ice lake.
With the help of the light reflected from the snow, Ye An saw the knife-shaped black lines on the car body. Thinking of Ming Fang's words, he felt uneasy. He tried to breathe lightly, praying that the other party would not find him.
The car door opened, and a strong man with a height of nearly two meters came out. He looked carefully near the frozen lake, squatted down, and dug up the snow on the lake, seemingly looking for clues.
After a while, the strong man returned to the car, pointed to the opposite side of the frozen lake, and said something to the people in the car.
The distance was too far, and Ye An couldn't hear clearly. He only saw a slender figure stepping out of the snowmobile when the strong man turned sideways. He was dressed in black and had black hair. The hand holding the long knife was almost transparent in white.
