doomsday survival

Chapter 46
The style of the newly made roe deer fur coat is very simple, but the warmth retention is absolutely top-notch. The roe deer skin is thin, but it can insulate heat and cool, so it is best to make a mattress.For fur clothing, only roe deer skin in winter is suitable, because the fur on the roe deer is long and dense at this time. Although it is not as warm as mink fur, it is still a good material for fur clothing.

Xiarou changed into new clothes and ran around happily, rolling around in the snow with Xiaomeng Xiaowei, having a great time, and didn't cry for a long time.Shi Jian also went out a few times wearing it, and it was indeed much warmer.

After the ski suit was burned, Shi Jian added a jacket over the fleece jacket. In the old world, this outfit would have allowed Shi Jian to survive the winter.But now there is no industrial production, and the greenhouse effect no longer exists, and winter is twice as cold as before.Although it is said that the solar terms are still in late autumn, there is no autumn in Xiaoxing'an Mountains, and now the temperature of the previous winter solstice is almost catching up. Shi Jian also feels that the clothes are too thin. Fortunately, Xia Qing has sewn the leather clothes. Let Shi Jian have a little more confidence in resisting this cold winter.

For several days in succession, although the heavy snow fell from time to time, it never stopped. It lasted for a week from beginning to end.In the first two days, Shi Jian went to check the traps, but there was hardly any gain.

"It's under the snow, and the traps are buried, let alone the animals don't run out and hide in the nest, even if they run out, they won't be able to step on the trap!" Shi Jian patted the snowflakes on his body, and complained to Xia Qing who came to help .

"Then don't go, anyway, there are a lot of frozen meat and bacon at home, and your face is turning red from the cold." Xia Qing persuaded softly.

"I don't want to go either, but I can't just sit and eat." Shi Jian said, taking off the roe deer fur coat and handing it to Xia Qing.

"Then I'll go with you tomorrow." Xia Qing felt a little bit reluctant to see Shi Jian going back and forth by himself.

Shi Jian hurriedly shook his head and refused, "If you go, what will Xiao Rou do?"

"I don't need you to accompany me. Anyway, there are lights in the room now. I'm not afraid if it's not dark!" Xia Rou showed her boldness.

"Well... okay." Shi Jian hesitated for a while, and finally nodded in agreement.

The next day, Shi Jian and Xia Qing dressed up and prepared to go out together. Before leaving, they specifically told Xia Rou not to wander around, and left Xiaomeng and Serena at home with only their spikes. Far stronger than the Hound.

The two turned around several traps one after another, but they found nothing like yesterday, and Shi Jian was not discouraged. Every time he went to a place, he would dig out the traps buried deep in the snow and reset them before moving on to the next one.

The Xiaoxing'an Mountains are now shrouded in snow, and the space between the sky and the earth is white, and the outline of the mountains can't be distinguished when looking at the distant mountains.The raging north wind has swept the cold current from Siberia, making the winter here even colder.

Shi Jian and Xia Qing supported the ski poles in the knee-deep snow, facing the wind against the snow, and slid towards the last trap.

"If you don't gain anything today, you can rest at home tomorrow, okay?" Xia Qing asked softly.

Shi Jian wanted to refuse at first, but when he saw Xia Qing's pretty face was flushed with ice, his eyelashes were stained with ice crystals, and the leather hat around his face was covered with frost, he felt a pain in his heart, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I won't come out tomorrow Rest at home for a day, and come out when the weather clears." After finishing speaking, he stopped to help Xia Qing wipe off the frost from his hat, and covered Xia Qing's face with his hands for a while.

Xia Qing wrapped his hands around Shi Jian's waist, Ren Shijian held his face, and slightly closed his eyes.

Shi Jian kissed her lightly on the lips, and then said with a smile: "Let's go, it's the last place."

The wind and snow were still there, Shi Jian and Xia Qing stood beside the last trap, their faces full of shock.

I saw messy beast footprints everywhere around the trap, even the continuous falling snow hadn't completely buried it, and there was still a beast leg hanging from the rope of the trap, while the other parts were gone.The trap caught the prey, but the prey disappeared, what happened?Shi Jian and Xia Qing were full of doubts.

Xia Qing peeled away the snow under the noose, and found bloodstains ten centimeters below. At this time, Shi Jian had already taken off the broken leg on the noose. Only the lower leg, it can be seen that it was bitten off by Qi Gen of.The claws on that calf were very similar to those of wolf teeth. Shi Jian took my underground footprints for comparison, and they were close to matching. Shi Jian's face turned blue.

"Go, go home!" Shi Jian said anxiously.

"What's wrong?" Xia Qing was a little surprised, why did Shi Jian suddenly want to go back in a hurry?
"Wolf pack!" After Shi Jian finished speaking, he greeted Langya and began to ski back, Xia Qing followed closely behind.

After returning home, Shi Jian didn't care about rest, and directly withdrew the single-plank bridge inside, and cleared the snow from the trap, Xia Qing also helped.The two of them didn't even go in the door, and it was only when Spike scratched the door that Xia Rou knew they were back.

Xia Rou came out and saw Shi Jian and Xia Qing were busy clearing the snow, she didn't know why, and asked, "Brother Jian, what are you doing?"

"Don't ask, Xiao Rou, come and help!" Xia Qing stopped Xia Rou from asking.

"If you don't need her, let her go inside." Shi Jian said to Xia Qing.

Xia Qing hesitated for a moment, nodded and said to Xia Ju: "You go into the house first, don't come here to make trouble, I will talk to you later."

Xia Rou, who was already confused, became even more confused, but seeing her sister's seriousness, she stopped asking and went back to the room to wait for them to finish.

Shi Jian and Xia Qing cleared the snow until the sharp wood was exposed, and it was already noon.

The two entered the room, took off their coats and hats, and felt a layer of sweat on their bodies.After scrubbing briefly, Shi Jian called Xia Rou and said to her: "Don't go out these few days, we try to stay in the room as much as possible."

"What's wrong?" Xia Rou asked.

"A pack of wolves is coming. We must be careful." Shi Jian explained simply and clearly.

"Ah?" Xia Rou was startled, and covered her mouth with her hands, for fear that the loud noise would attract the wolves.

"Brother Jian, are we going to stay in the room all the time?" Xia Qing asked, his face full of worry.

Shi Jian walked back and forth in the room, scratching his head and said, "For the time being, there is no way. We can only die when we meet the wolves, but the wolves should not be able to attack, and the defense of that circle is not vegetarian."

That being said, at night, Shi Jian still built piles of bonfires around the house to deter possible wolves.As for whether the wolves will be recruited or not, that is secondary. If the wolves find out that they break through and reject the horse, the three of them will definitely not survive without the bonfire.

"In the past two days, you have to sleep more awake at night, wolves usually move at night." Shi Jian repeatedly urged.

"Well, I see." Xia Qing agreed, and then asked worriedly, "Brother Jian, the trap we set caught a wolf, will it be their revenge?"

"This should not happen." Shi Jian was also a little uncertain, but he still wanted to give the sisters confidence and comforted him, "I think if they want to take revenge on us, they will ambush us in the forest in the morning, no matter how smart the wolves are. You won’t know that we did it when you saw the trap, right?”

Xia Qing felt that what Shi Jian said was reasonable, so he nodded, somewhat relieved.

"Brother Jian, why do wolves come here? Didn't you say that there are no wolves here?" Xia Rou asked Shi Jian suspiciously.

Shi Jian smiled helplessly, thinking how could he know this.However, he still guessed: "I don't know, but I guess the wolves may have come from the north. There is too much snow there, and the wolves are not easy to hunt, so they migrated here, and they managed to trigger our set up. trap."

"Then when will they leave?" Xia Rou continued to ask, like a curious baby.

"That's not certain." Shi Jian said with a smile, "But we don't have to be afraid. We have enough reserves. Even if wolves surround us for a month, we won't starve to death."

This is also true. When Shi Jian was preparing for the winter storage, he thought of all the bad situations. The hazelnuts alone weigh several thousand catties, and there are bacon and dried fish. If he lives by himself, winter is not a problem. Even if there are more Xia Qing sisters now, it is still very easy to persist for two months. After all, there is snow everywhere in winter, so there is no need to worry about drinking water.

That night, the three of them were a little worried, and none of them slept soundly. In the middle of the night, in the middle of the night, they faintly heard the howling of wolves in the whistling wind. Xiaomeng and Serena stood in front of the door, together with Langya Looking in one direction, the hair on his neck stood up.
