Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Chapter 273 Wild Boar's Den

When the sun rose outside, the novice hunters woke up one after another.

Jiang Yu frowned. If they continued to move forward at this speed, they really didn't know when they would be able to return home.

Fu Biao was speechless. These militiamen were so brave. How could they sleep so soundly and sleep till dawn in such a remote place?

The leader saw Jiang Yu and Fu Biao glance at their watches and immediately realized his mistake. He felt a little embarrassed, so he cleared his throat and urged the others to speed up.

"We have to climb over two mountains today, so we have to hurry." If it weren't for the thick snow, it wouldn't take so long to climb these two mountains, as there would have been a shortcut to go around them.

But the current road conditions make it difficult to walk, and of course you can't go fast when you stretch your legs through the snow.

Jiang Yu regretted not bringing her skis with her. She thought going into the mountains this time wouldn't be that troublesome. However, the trouble turned out to be more than she had imagined.

Fu Biao and Jiang Yu had already packed their things and were sitting by the fire, boiling water and waiting for them.

Soon, the others finished washing up, picked up their luggage, and asked the guide, "Will we come back here later?"

"No, we are going to go around and not go back the same way." The leader shook his head and looked at Jiang Yu, "Everyone is ready, so shall we set off now?"

Jiang Yu nodded, stood up, put on his backpack, and still chose to follow behind.

The mountains are silent in winter. There is no other sound except the rustling sound of snowflakes.

Most of the small animals are hiding in their nests. Unless the stored food is not enough, they will never come out to walk around because it is too cold.

Fu Biao was still holding the long, straight wooden stick he had used yesterday, and walking beside Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu's rabbit fur hat was tied at the bottom, and the soft leather stuck to the sides of his cheeks to help protect him from the cold wind.

Different from the enthusiasm of yesterday, today the young people were listless and looked lifeless. After walking for a while, they started to complain of being tired and wanted to rest.

It was indeed tiring. It was really hard to step hard on the snow and then get out to continue to the next step.

Jiang Yu was also very annoyed when walking. If it weren't for the constant temperature suit, she felt that her lower body would have been frozen.

The leader gritted his teeth and led everyone over a mountain, then stopped in a sheltered place. "Everyone take a break. We can go up the mountain from the other side, which will be faster. But that place is close to a wild boar den, so everyone should prepare your weapons in advance."

When the militiamen heard that they could take a shortcut, they immediately became motivated.

"Isn't it just a wild boar? We have guns with us, so why should we be afraid?"

"That's right! Let's catch them all in one go! Take them back and let everyone have a prosperous New Year!" The person who spoke was very proud, as if he had successfully hunted several wild boars.

"That's right. Wild boars are nothing. We are not afraid of them at all."

Jiang Yu looked at them, all of them looking so arrogant, and was particularly looking forward to the scene after they encountered the wild boar. He wondered if the abilities of this group of people could match their boasting.

Fu Biao glanced at him with a half-smile, opened the kettle containing the little cotton-padded jacket, and took a sip of the brown sugar ginger tea inside.

The small cotton jacket on the kettle was prepared by Xue Li. She said that this would prevent the kettle from getting cold so quickly.

It did have some effect. At least the ginger tea prepared before departure was still warm and did not turn directly into ice water.

Jiang Yu also took a sip of ginger tea. The warm tea poured down her throat into her stomach. She shuddered unconsciously, then exhaled a breath of hot air, "Where did this ginger come from? It's really spicy."

"When we came back, we met an old man who was buying ginger. Thinking that Wu Aiqing was good at using ginger, we simply bought a whole basket of it. How was it? We didn't buy the wrong one, did we? This ginger is super spicy and Wu Aiqing loves it very much." Fu Biao took another sip and felt his body gradually warming up.

Jiang Yu pouted, then pinched her nose and took a sip. If it weren't for the sweetness of the brown sugar, this ginger tea would have been really hard for her to drink. It was too spicy. Unlike chili peppers, the ginger was so spicy that it even irritated her throat.

After a good rest, everyone started on their journey again.

After passing the path the guide mentioned, a natural shelter appeared in front of everyone.

No wonder wild boars build their nests in this location. There is indeed some truth to this.

However, there are no wild boars active outside at this time. Although they have thick skin and flesh, they also know the difference between cold and heat.

There must be a cave or some place nearby where we can hide for the winter.

Jiang Yu's five senses instantly magnified, and with her keen sense of smell, she quickly found the direction, but it was different from the direction the guide had taken.

Fu Biao saw Jiang Yu looking in another direction, turned his head with some confusion to look at her, and then asked her what was wrong?

"It's okay." Jiang Yu shook his head, followed the pace of the main force, and walked forward.

Fu Biao blinked, looked over there again, then turned around and followed.

Everyone quickly walked out of the wild boar's den and headed towards the next destination.

The militiamen didn't encounter the wild boar, so they started talking nonsense again.

They were obviously lucky and did not encounter a group of wild boars, but they all said that it seemed as if the wild boars were afraid of them, so they did not show up?

really interesting.

If this kind of words were said by one person alone, it might be embarrassing.

When a group of people started talking like this, the scene suddenly became disgusting.

Jiang Yu frowned and looked at the group of men in front of him with some disgust. They were obviously not very old, so why did they look so greasy?

Fu Biao thought it was very normal. After all, it was not surprising to see any strange things among men.

Although the leader supported what everyone said, he was still worried. He unconsciously quickened his pace and led everyone forward quickly.

After Jiang Yu noted the location, he followed the footsteps of the person in front of him and left the area.

While the men were talking, Jiang Yu suddenly became alert.

Seeing this, Fu Biao took the rifle from his back and held it in his hand.

"Is there anything going on?" Fu Biao asked.

"It smells wrong." Jiang Yu said that there is a special smell in the snowy environment, which is refreshing. But the smell in this area is different, it should be wild animals.

Fu Biao frowned, "Let's be on guard first, do we need to remind them?"

"It doesn't make much sense." Remind them that if nothing appears, they will think Jiang Yu is making a fuss. If there is something, they might be scared to death, and it would be even more troublesome if it runs away.

Fu Biao responded, distanced himself from Jiang Yu, and watched carefully from the back.
