doomsday survival

Chapter 56 Deer Hunting
Regrettably, Shi Jian and the three of them were already in danger. Shi Jian didn't calculate the time well. The sun sank into the distant mountains as quickly as the naked eye could see, and night fell instantly.

"We can't go, it's too easy to get lost." Shi Jian led Xia Qing and Xia Rou for a while, and immediately discovered the problem.

With the twilight left by the sky, Shi Jian and the others could still see the footprints when they came, but the more they walked, the more messy the footprints became, and later, Shi Jian could no longer find the way to come.Shi Jian had to light a torch, but after turning around a few times, Shi Jian could only accept the fact that they were lost.

The night in Xiaoxing'an Mountains is very cold. Shi Jian estimates that the temperature is now around minus [-] degrees. The three of them were busy on the road just now, and they have already sweated a lot. This is very dangerous in the cold night, because the sweat will freeze. .In that case, the three of them might suffer from ice injuries, or even freeze to death in this icy world.

"I can't go anymore." Shi Jian stopped and said worriedly, "We have to spend the night here tonight, and now we can't find the way we came here."

Xia Qing also knew the seriousness of the situation, so he said to Shi Jian: "Let's find a place sheltered from the wind and build a bonfire again, which should be able to withstand the cold."

Shi Jian nodded, and began to look for a place that could shelter from the wind, but he couldn't find a suitable place.Shi Jian had no choice but to find another way. Shi Jian found a tree growing obliquely as a place for him to spend the night.

"Let's build a shed, and I'll cut some tree trunks." Shi Jian said to Xia Qing, "Qing'er, go find some dry firewood, sir, and build a fire."

Shi Jian came to a few fine pine trees, picked up the fire ax and began to cut them down. Shi Jian trimmed the felled trees and cut them into three-meter-long sections. Closely built a circle, leaving only an exit on the leeward side as a door, and the prototype of a small shed was completed.

At this time, Xia Qing had already lit the bonfire, asked Xia Rou to sit by the bonfire to keep warm, and came to help Shi Jian himself.Shi Jian asked her to find more hay to spread on the ground in the shed, while he found some branches and bushes to cover the shed, so that the shed could withstand more cold wind.

After doing this, Shi Jian let out a sigh of relief, and said, "We should be able to pass tonight. Don't sleep too hard at night, or it won't be safe."

Shi Jian moved the bonfire to the door of the shed, let Xia Rou sit in the shed, and then began to prepare dinner.Shi Jian packed up the hare and gave it to Xia Qing to roast it, while he continued to thicken the shed.

Xia Rou's cheeks were flushed from the cold, she kept stretching out her hands to the bonfire to keep warm, and said apologetically to Shi Jian who was busy at the side: "Brother Jian, I was wrong, if I hadn't insisted on chasing after him, maybe we'd all be home now .”

Shi Jian smiled and said: "It's okay, just pay attention next time. Besides, I didn't grasp the timing well this time, and I wanted to chase him back then. It seems that this person can't be too greedy."

Xia Qing handed over the roasted hare, and interjected: "We all made mistakes this time, but just pay attention in the future, luckily Brother Jian can build a shed, otherwise I can only make a snow house, it will take a long time .”

When Shi Jian heard Xia Qing mention the snow house, he remembered that when he first met the two sisters, they were in the snow house, so he couldn't help asking curiously: "Is the snow house not easy to build? When I first met you, you thought Made one."

"Of course, and it takes time, but it's much warmer than this small shed." Xia Qing smiled, handed Shi Jian a rabbit leg, and continued, "At that time, I also made simple ones. If you pile it up and empty it out, you can still stay there, but it’s not as strong and warm as the one made of snow blocks.”

Shi Jian took the rabbit leg, ate it and said, "I think you did a good job last time. I don't even know how to do it. Someday teach me."

When Xia Qing heard Shi Jian's praise, his heart felt sweet, and he gave a light "huh" to express his agreement.

It was a very long night. The three of them sat huddled together in the shed, watching the bonfire in front of the door. Although it wasn't very cold, the three of them didn't dare to sleep too soundly.Shi Jian set the alarm clock on his watch to ring every hour. As soon as the alarm clock rang, Shi Jian would wake up the two girls and let them move around to prevent frostbite.

Shi Jian has almost never looked forward to the dawn like this. The winter night that lasted for fourteen to five hours made people almost go crazy. During the long wait, the sky finally turned pale, and Shi Jian couldn't help but shouted.

Xia Qing and Xia Rou were awakened by Shi Jian's cheers, and when they saw the sky brighten, they also shouted loudly with Shi Jian, shaking several birds in the forest.

As the sun rose, the temperature also slowly increased, and the three began to look for their way home, only then did they realize that they had gone in another direction.

"It's like walking in the forest at night. Sometimes you are walking in one direction, but you are going in the wrong direction without knowing it. This is what people call 'ghosts hitting the wall'." Shi Jian told the two sisters. Man explains why he gets lost.

In any case, the three of them passed the night safely and were very happy. They found their way home again, stopped hunting, and started walking towards home.

Destiny is that love makes fun of people like this. Sometimes you want what you want but you can't get it. When you no longer have illusions, what you want appears in front of your eyes.This is how it is now, sisters Shi Jian and Xia Qing looked at the red deer not far away and sighed that fate was tricking people.

That red deer seems to be the one that Shi Jian and the others started chasing. It has the same six-pronged antlers and a strong body. At this time, it is standing less than 30 meters away from Shi Jian and the others. After eating the salt and alkali on the ground, Shi Jian and the others were not found.

Shi Jian raised a finger to his mouth, signaling Xia Rou to keep quiet, then took off the bow and arrow with Xia Qing, and aimed at the red deer.The two of them looked at each other, then nodded, and loosened the string tacitly together. The two arrows shot out like flying, and hit the red deer almost at the same time. Xia Qing's arrow hit the red deer's chest. The strong branch hit it in the hind leg.

Although the red deer was hit by two arrows, it didn't kill it, and immediately ran away. Shi Jian took the lead in chasing it down, and he didn't forget to tell Xia Qing: "You take good care of Xiao Rou, just follow me."

Shi Jian followed the blood trail of the red deer all the way. After walking about 1000 meters, he saw the red deer lying dead on the ground. It must have bled to death.

Shi Jian stood beside the red deer, looked at the red deer, and felt a little worried: "How should we transport this big guy back? After all, this is an adult male deer, and it must weigh at least 400 catties. You can’t lift it back by yourself.”

Xia Qing and Xia Rou rushed over and were amazed when they saw the red deer on the ground, feeling that this guy was too big.Shi Jian and Xia Qing went to lift it up, and they could lift it up, but it was definitely not possible to carry it back.

"It would be great if we went out wearing skis, we can put it on it and drag it back." Shi Jian said regretfully, the snow is a bit too deep now, so this time the three of them didn't wear skis when they came out.

Xia Qing nodded, hesitated and said, "Brother Jian, why don't we make a snowboard?"

Shi Jian was enlightened when he heard it, and said with a smile, "We have to make one, but it's not a ski."

"What is that?" Xia Qing asked suspiciously.

"Sled!" Shi Jian replied with a smile on his lips.

　The second update, all kinds of requests!
