Chapter 154 Reindeer Sled
Du Kang was running in front of the sled, and Natalia was behind him holding a map to guide the way. A few small snowdrifts with branches in front caught his attention. Du Kang slowly stopped the sled, looked there and said, "Look There."

"It's a reindeer."

It's true that the reindeer are, but unfortunately, they have been frozen into ice cubes, piled up here and there, and even their bodies are covered with ice and snow.

"Let's take the reindeer back and taste it. I haven't tasted reindeer yet."

"It's alive, you still want to kill it?"

"Impossible, look, it's still alive after being frozen like this?"

With the cold temperature here, even cattle can freeze to death.

Not to mention Siberia, he had read reports later that the temperature in Guangdong had dropped precipitously, and even the cattle froze to death.

Niu never thought in his life that he would be frozen to death in Guangdong.

Although the main reason is not adapting to the cliff-like falling temperature, it can also be seen how severe the temperature is too low.

As for the froze-to-death cattle in the north, there are not a few. In ancient times, when the white wind blows, it is good for the herdsmen to have half of their cattle and sheep left.

Although reindeer are more adaptable to temperature, there is no guarantee that there will be no problems.

Especially with the snow that fell all night yesterday, it was easy to freeze a few reindeer to death.

"Or let's make a bet that the reindeer fell asleep here."

"What are you gambling?"

"If they are dead, I will ask you to take them back to eat meat. If they are not dead, you can tame them and have a reindeer pull the sleigh."

"can."

Natalia yelled in the past, and several reindeer stood up shaking the snow on their bodies.

Du Kang looked dumbfounded, that's okay, you lie on the ground to sleep in such deep snow?Are you really not afraid of the cold?

Look at the body, the snow in some places has melted and turned into ice due to the low temperature, like an ice shell covering the body, it feels unbearably cold.

Trying to communicate with them, and promised to give them enough food to survive the winter, they quickly agreed to help the two pull the sled.

Du Kang and Natalia untied Alaska and put the reindeer on it.

The pulling tools used by the two are different. The ones that can be used in Alaska are too small for the reindeer to use. The two can only make do with four reindeer pulling the cart first, and the rest follow behind them.

As for Alaska, it was completely liberated, running happily around the sled car.

The two got on the sleigh, and Natalia pointed forward and shouted, "Go Doluf, you must overtake the enemy."

"What do you call it?"

"Dolph, that's the name of the reindeer used by Santa Claus."

Only then did Du Kang recall that in legend, Santa Claus drives a sleigh cart pulled by reindeer to deliver Christmas gifts to children.

Rudolph is the leading Christmas reindeer with a red nose, so he is also called Red-nosed Rudolph.

There are 9 reindeer pulling Santa's sleigh: Rudolph, dasher, dancer, jubilant, shrew, big shot, lightning, cupid, comet.

It happened that the reindeer they found were nine, and Natalia was even happier, naming them one by one, insisting on bringing them to Christmas.

When the time comes, she will show people her reindeer cart.

On the road again, this time I changed the equipment, the sled car moved faster, and it didn't take long to catch up with the first sled car.

"Hey, hurry up, I've overtaken you."

Natalia stood behind and yelled, afraid that others would not see her, so she stood up and waved her arms to let them see her.

A lot of people were unable to complain, we are having a dog sled race, what the hell are you doing with a reindeer sled.

Dogs can't catch up with tall reindeer.

They could only watch the sled being pulled away by the reindeer, and their eyes were full of envy. They also wanted to ride the reindeer to pull the sled, but unfortunately they didn't have that ability.

Reindeer are not as obedient as sled dogs, and they are prone to problems without skilled domestication skills.

Natalia sang triumphantly in the back: "Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells, what a joy to ski tonight, we are sitting on the sled, taking advantage of the good time of our youth in the snow, bringing our beloved My friends sang ski songs..."

Good guy, Du Kang doesn't know how to describe it, you are really carefree, in other words, heartless.

He waved his whip forward, shouted "drive", and the sleigh moved faster. Du Kang had a feeling of becoming Santa Claus.

When Christmas comes, he wants to give Natalia a unique gift that will keep her happy all year long.

As the traces left by the team advanced, from time to time some teams were overtaken by them.

Seeing this, Du Kang slowed down and admired the surrounding snow scene.

The competition is divided into five days. Those who are interested in competing for rankings will focus on speed regardless of others. Among the supplies they carry are tents, which allow them to camp in the ice and snow.

But many people just focused on participating and didn't intend to suffer that, so four camps were set up in the middle for people to rest.

When the evening approached, I rushed to the camp to rest, slept comfortably for a night, and set off again the next morning.

Since he only focuses on participating, why does he have to run to the front.

A few squirrels poked their heads out from the tree hole, looked at the scene in front of them curiously, and didn't understand why these people were driving the sleigh.

Du Kang heard the movement, looked at the squirrel flying on the tree and asked, "Do you want to eat pine nuts?"

"Yes, but do you have one?"

"I don't, but the natives here do."

He listened attentively for a while, then stopped the car, dug a hole in a dead tree, and went down with a hammer to reveal the treasure hidden inside - pine nuts.

A large number of pine nuts and acorns leaked out and dripped down.

A few squirrels jumped up and down the tree anxiously, I am not a human but you are really a dog.

The food they stored with great difficulty was originally reserved for the winter, but now you get it all out.

"Enough is enough, what are you doing so much, be careful that the squirrels are fighting you desperately."

Seeing this, Du Kang blocked the open tree hole with wooden sticks, but the squirrels were still very sad, the food they had managed to get was gone.

Seeing them in such a hurry, Natalia didn't ask for their food, turned around and put them on the ground again, and let the squirrels transport them back for the winter.

She's not that cheeky to compete with squirrels for food.

Seeing this, Du Kang just raised his eyebrows and didn't say much.

If there is no food at home, that’s all. Not to mention the stored grain of the squirrel, the mouse’s stored grain must also be eaten.

A few years ago, people were so hungry that people couldn’t stand the lack of food, so someone took the idea out of the rats’ nests to get the food inside. If they were lucky, they could produce dozens of catties of food in half a day, and made all of them for the family’s rations. .

He is not short of food, not even a variety of delicacies, he can eat whatever he wants, and when he is full, he has to go and grab it from the squirrels.
