Chapter 476 Road
Since knowing the consequences of Shao Xuan training there, the patrol soldiers are interested in waiting there after sweeping the snow every day.⊙,
The branch opened was still there, and they directly retreated the temporary rest point and then made it into a dodge point.
Originally, the patrolman wanted to create an open-air resting point according to the original method, but that would also cause cold and cold wind.
One day, Shao Xuan suddenly remembered a way to teach them to use simple abrasive tools and water to make large ice bricks. The water in the river has frozen thickly and cannot knock ice there. He can only melt it with snow, then pour it into the abrasive tools, and put it outside for a while. After a few breaths, the ice bricks will soon form, which is very efficient.
Such ice bricks were accepted by the tribe very quickly, and even some warriors who were not in charge came out to help.
Nowadays, from the mountain to the bottom, there are iglooes in a "i" shape. The foundations of the iglooes are also made of ice, built high, beyond the snow layer, and then a house is built on it.
While patrolling, the soldiers who were patrolling would run to the igloo to rest in the snow, drink some hot water to warm up, and see the situation further away from here. People in the tribe who have been locked up at home will also run over and take a walk because of fresh curiosity.
Shao Xuan was also worried that these people would suffer from snow blindness because of their long-term exposure to snow. He reminded them, but so far, no one has had snow blindness.
"Look, the elder is starting to push the snow again!" The person lying on the window of the igloo looked outside and said.
"Where? Let me see!"
The three small windows were snatched to see.
These iglooes were built near the first road launched by Shao Xuan. Shao Xuan would walk along a new road every day.
Looking from a high place, you can see a person covered in flames walking slowly on the white snow. In front of him, it looked like a white giant insect moving down the mountain.
Apart from the shock when I first met, the soldiers patrolling now have regarded this as daily entertainment. The tribe worships the strong. Not to mention the cold that they have to endure when walking in the snow in the storm and snow, they have tried it. Unfortunately, the obviously inconspicuous snow is particularly solid and heavy when they pile it together. They can't push it after only a piece of it. They still feel that they are very strong on weekdays.
Duokang walked over from outside, patted the snow on his body, and asked, "How are the sentinels at the foot of the mountain?"
"Tao Zheng and the others are continuing to do it today, saying that they should do it higher so that they can see the distance when standing on it. There is no need to go out and get frozen." said a soldier.
"It is a good thing to be a sentinel in the ice bricks, but don't be lazy, I'm going to check it out!" Duokang scolded.
"Yes, I guarantee not to be lazy!"
"Yes." Duokang responded, and swung the people by the window to the side and looked outside, "Let me see how Shao Xuan pushed Xue."
The soldier standing next to him curled his lips. Isn’t it just to grab the window? He even gave a speech with a harsh face.
At the foot of the mountain, across the river, high sentinels were made. Large pieces of ice tiles were constantly sent there.
After making several sentinels, the soldiers were idle and tried to connect these sentinels and use ice bricks to make passages so that they would not have to rush and snow when walking, and it looked like a city wall was built.
Looking at the passage built that was comparable to the city wall, the patrolling soldiers became more motivated. Such a snowy day is not without any fun, but for those who are idle, it is another experience.
There are few beasts in the mountains and forests now. It is impossible to go out to hunt in this weather. Fortunately, everyone has a lot of inventory and will not be hungry. If you save some food, you can still survive. As long as such a wind and snowy day will not last.
Many people in the tribe didn't know that there was a team of fifty people who were braved by the wind and snow and left the mountains and forests. These people were sent by the leader and the witch. Although they might miss the most important sacrificial ritual of the tribe in the year, the witch and the witch were allowed to be absent because, in the eyes of the witch and the witch, this matter was more important than the sacrificial ritual and was related to the future of the tribe.
The person who led the team is named Xiang Chen, who is a little younger than Dokang and is also a high-level totem warrior. However, he has been away from the tribe for most of the past year.
Xiang Chen was the first group of people to follow Shao Xuan to the beach. He has walked twice from the tribe to the beach, and this is the third time.
This time, Xiang Chen was ordered to take people to the beach to see what was going on there. According to others' ideas, what should I do when I am going out in such a cold day?
But what Wu and the leader want is such a cold weather!
Even the witch and the leader hope that if it is true as they thought, the longer such a cold weather, the better.
Xiang Chen's path was different from when Shao Xuan first found the tribe. When Shao Xuan first went to the tribe from the sea, he almost walked in a straight line, but it was even more difficult to walk there. The tribe's people took another route when they went to the beach.
They walked out of the mountains and forests with difficulty. When they passed by Ancheng, they found that Amba City, which was not too deserted in winter, now there is no one outside the city.
There were people walking around the tower on the city wall, and no one else was seen. They originally wanted to find a place to rest and change some food to eat, but now it seems that the plan is not successful. The city gate is closed and people outside are not allowed to enter at all.
"Stay going." Xiang Chen greeted the others.
Compared to the forest, there is less snow here. Perhaps in the eyes of these people in Amba City, it is already heavy snow that has never been seen in a thousand years, and it is difficult to walk, which is extremely troubled. However, Xiang Chen and others who came out of the forest did not think this is the case.
The snow here is only waist-deep.
Every time I met someone on the road and heard their conversation, "The snow is already waist-deep, how should I live?", Xiang Chen and the others wanted to say, "It's just waist-deep, so surprised that I'm so surprised. If you walk into the mountains and forests, will your eyes fall out?!"
There were also few people who encountered the robbery in the middle of the journey. In this kind of weather, people who were profession robbery were unwilling to come out. Those who came out were all amateurs. People who were forced out by the wind and snow had their eyes fierce due to hunger and cold, and they were willing to go out with a stance. Unfortunately, Xiang Chen and the others were not kind-hearted. They were so easy to be soft-hearted that they could not live until now. If these people who were kidnapping just begged to say soft words, maybe Xiang Chen and the others could share a little food, but stand in front of them with a knife, don’t blame them for being ruthless.
Bright blood splattered on the snow and soon frozen with the snow water. Those who fell there were lucky to be covered by snow, and unfortunately they would become the target of other hungry and cold people.
Xiang Chen had seen too many things along the way.
The further you go, the thinner the snow layer.
Xiang Chen felt heavy in his heart. Although he didn't like such snow disasters, according to the wishes of Wu and the leader, such cold weather may be the best if it continues. Most importantly, is it frozen in the sea? This is all Wu's expectation.
The witch said that if the sea freezes, continue to walk forward and see. If the large area freezes, this is the opportunity. They can return to their hometown that has been gone for thousands of years and gather with another group. Perhaps, the "hidden disease" of the Yanjiao people also has the opportunity to cure them. Who would not want to live more than twice as long? It would not be necessary to consider quitting the hunting team for another twenty or thirty years, and watch other tribes who are older than themselves hunting in the mountains and forests with great courage.
It's miserable to think about it.
It must freeze, ten thousand!
After leaving Amba City, I passed other smaller cities, and the gates were closed, exuding a serious and heavy feeling, just like the hearts of the people in the city. And there, the snow was just to the thighs.
Keep moving forward, Xiang Chen's bad feelings became stronger and stronger.
When he finally stepped onto the half-desert area, Xiang Chen gasped and looked into the distance. Here, the snow only reached their knees.
Keep moving forward and step into this once arid area step by step.
Camel beasts were looking for ice on the ground, and their hair became longer, crowded together to keep warm and eat snow to replenish moisture.
Seeing Xiang Chen's roster, the camel beasts spread their hooves and turned their heads and ran away.
Xiang Chen didn't chase him either. He had food on him, and he was not in the mood to chase and hunt. His steps were even more urgent and he headed straight to the beach.
The tall cylindrical cactus stood there like an icicle, like thorns, pricking blood in the hearts of Chen and his group.
The sea water is not frozen!
Only some of the ice is frozen near the coast, but compared to the ice layer in the artificial river in front of the tribe, it is simply not enough to see. Can people walk on it?!
Not to mention, far from the coast, the sea water is still flowing, and the wind blows the waves and hits the frozen ice.
The blue sea water, the sand and stone covered with snow, and the impact of two colors may be said to some people that this is a rare beauty, but Xiang Chen and others were extremely disappointed.
As if he had lost all his strength, the fatigue along the way became stronger. He knelt on the sand covered with a layer of thin snow, and punched the ground with one punch.
A road is broken.
They don’t even know whether they can have hope of spending this sea in their lifetime.
How long does a person's life last? For those who do almost the same thing every day, it seems to pass in a flash. Xiang Chen seemed to see the aging self sitting at the door of the house chopping firewood and rubbing straw ropes. However, people of the same age as him in the next tribe dragged their prey every day.
I can't bear to think about it anymore.
With a sigh, Xiang Chen and his group returned to the tribe with strong disappointment. Not to mention them, Wu might cry and faint by the fire pit after he knew about it.
When will you wait to return to your hometown? Where is the road?
None of them knows. (To be continued...)
