Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Chapter 271 Snow House

The temperature is very low now. After they peeled off the skin of the roe deer, they divided the body into four large pieces, and then wiped the meat with clean snow. The blood and the meat soon froze hard.

In addition, we put the internal organs into the backpack and set off again.

With prey in hand, everyone became motivated again.

They followed the guide's footprints to a flat corner. When the guide saw everyone coming, he quickly asked them to prepare the igloo.

Jiang Yu and Fu Biao didn't expect anyone to teach them how to do it, so they just watched carefully from the side.

Making an igloo is not difficult for a handicraft expert like Jiang Yu. In fact, because of the tools she has, she can make snow bricks faster than the villagers.

Last night, Xue Li suddenly took out two machetes and gave them to Jiang Yu and Fu Biao, asking them to use them for self-defense.

It comes in handy right now. Sprinkle a light layer of water on the surface of the machete to let it condense into ice, which will help cut the snow bricks.

Jiang Yu and Fu Biao planned to live together, so they had to build a slightly larger igloo. However, the structure of this igloo limited its area, and the diameter was only 3 meters.

Jiang Yu was very strong, so she was responsible for moving the snow bricks for construction, and Fu Biao cut the snow bricks according to her requirements.

By the time Jiang Yu's igloo was finished, the militia over there had only finished half of it.

Jiang Yu was somewhat pleased, and together with Fu Biao, he cleared a piece of open space nearby and prepared to light a fire.

Fu Biao went to break off some dead and half-dry branches hanging on the trees, and used the useless waste paper prepared by Jiang Yu to start a fire. Before long, the weak flames gradually grew stronger in the cold wind.

Jiang Yu took out her small pot, filled it with clean snow cubes, and put it on the fire to cook.

It was getting dark.

While there was still light, Jiang Yu walked around and took out the wild animal feces that Yi Chi had prepared and scattered some in several directions. He didn't know if it would work, but he had to take some preventive measures anyway.

Seeing Jiang Yu's actions, the guide felt a little relieved. It seemed that not all the people on this trip were rookies. After all, there was someone who knew a little about survival in the wild.

But in this case, Jiang Yu becomes even more important. It seems that they cannot do as Uncle Zhuang said and let Jiang Yu stand in front of all of them as a shield. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, such as encountering a wolf pack, they will easily be wiped out.

The guide's eyes flickered slightly in the firelight, and he was thinking about how to arrange the next itinerary.

Jiang Yu sat next to Fu Biao and took out the pancake made by Wu Aiqing like him, cut it in half with a dagger, put the minced meat in it, and baked it on the fire.

Fu Biao used the mushroom meat sauce that he had exchanged from Xueli. The last time he drove the truck out, the meat sauce was really a life-saving straw.

The three of them spent most of the time on dry food along the way. Fortunately, there were various meat sauces to go with it, otherwise they would have to eat those dry and tasteless pancakes. Xiong Lijin, a greedy man, would definitely lose ten pounds.

The mushroom meat sauce contains oil, and the aroma after heating is much more fragrant than the stewed roe deer by their militia.

At this moment, those people finally understood the suffering of the villagers living near the educated youth site. It was too difficult, really too difficult.

Everyone was tempted by the fragrance, but no one dared to speak to the two men. After all, their attitude towards Fu Biao was not very good when they were dealing with the roe deer before.

The guide glanced at the people around him and wanted to call Jiang Yu and the others to come and eat together, but the next second, Jiang Yu picked up the hot dry biscuit and stuffed it into his mouth. He took a fragrant bite, and dark red meat was faintly visible inside. It was estimated that Jiang Yu was not interested in the sloppily processed roe deer meat.

Fu Biao shook the small jar he had taken out and asked Jiang Yu, "Would you like some ginger tea?"

"Okay." The hot water had just been boiled. Jiang Yu nodded.

Following the rich aroma of mushroom meat sauce, there is sweet brown sugar ginger tea. The young people on the other side can only silently swallow the roe deer meat with a strong smell in their mouths and pretend that they are eating it very happily.

Roe deer meat actually doesn't have much of a muttony smell, but for the sake of convenience, they combine drinking hot water and eating meat. However, they don't have any condiments like ginger to remove the fishy smell, so they just add water and cook the frozen roe deer.

They were all people who couldn’t cook at home, and they didn’t even know how to skim off the blood foam, so they could only bite the bullet and eat the indescribable food.

It’s better to grill the meat directly, at least it won’t be so fishy.

After dinner, Jiang Yu followed the guide's example and cleared away some of the snow in the igloo. Then he went in with a not-too-strong torch to heat up and melt the surface of the igloo a little. Then he came out and opened the door to let in cold air, accelerating the solidification of the surface and making the igloo stronger.

Seeing her gradually becoming more proficient, Fu Biao felt a little impressed. Jiang Yu was really smart, with sharp eyes and quick thinking. No matter what she wanted to do, she should be able to succeed, right?

After Jiang Yu waited until the igloo was completely frozen, he took his backpack and went inside to start setting it up.

The oilcloth prepared by Xiong Lijin was laid at the bottom, followed by a rabbit skin mattress. Jiang Yu then spread his extra cotton-padded jacket on top, so it should be warm enough when sleeping.

Fu Biao also came in, holding firewood in his hand, "Can we light a fire on the snow?"

"Okay, I've stepped firmly on it, don't worry." Jiang Yu was familiar with lighting a fire on the snow, she had done it often in her previous life.

Fu Biao felt relieved when he heard her say it was okay, and started to build a bonfire. Then he went outside to get a burning firewood and put it in the middle of the bonfire.

"Let's take turns to keep watch at night. I'll go to sleep first?" Jiang Yu felt that accidents were more likely to happen in the second half of the night, so she would feel more at ease leaving it to herself.

"I can do anything." Fu Biao shrugged and sat by the campfire to keep warm.

Jiang Yu went out and put the hot water into the tin kettle. He also took some snow and put it in the pot, and brought it into the house. "Wash your face later. I'm going to sleep first."

"Okay." Fu Biao nodded, then pointed at the people outside and mouthed to her, "Do you want to remind them to keep watch?"

"No need, it's up to them how they arrange it. I just have to do what I should do." Jiang Yu didn't care. If they were brave enough, they wouldn't have to arrange night shifts. It would be good to suffer a little if something happened.

Fu Biao looked at her expression of not caring and laughed, "You really are, as long as the person is not dead, you don't care."

"Then what I promised is to ensure that they can all return to the team." Jiang Yu felt that there was nothing wrong with her attitude. Those people had nothing to do with her, so what did it have to do with them?

Fu Biao gave a thumbs up and said, "You are really insightful."

"Don't learn from me. You, the children of cadres with a good family background, have received education for a reason. After all, the world still needs more people like you to develop in a good direction." Jiang Yu spread his hands.
