Stocking up in space: surviving in a world of crisis

Chapter 266 Chapter 266 Extreme Cold 12
Time passed day after day, and in a blink of an eye, everyone has lived in the small courtyard for more than eight months, the corn in the greenhouse has been broken, more than [-] corn plants have been harvested, and more than [-] corn cobs have been harvested. Some kale and radishes, tonight is still barbecue, you have to eat it with kale to relieve the greasy.

When Ye Fu returned to the yard, everyone was cleaning the duck feathers. During this time, the sun had warmed up a little, and it was time to dry the clothes and dry the duck feathers.

A few days ago, everyone had slaughtered all the ducks and made them into cured ducks, leaving only two for carrying on the road.

The number of horses also increased to twenty-one, and the elk had a calf.

The carriage and wheels have already been made. After experimenting, two horses pull the cart together, and it can hold more than [-] catties of supplies.

After everyone's discussion, they plan to leave the small courtyard in half a month and continue to the northwest. During this time, everyone has to organize all the supplies and fill a few down jackets with duck feathers that have been dried, so that they can be worn on the road.

The temperature is still maintained at about [-] degrees. Compared with half a year ago, everyone has adapted to the cold. As long as it does not rain or wind, there is no problem in traveling.

The number of argali is a bit large, and it has grown to [-]. Jiang Rong tamed them very well. The argali has a violent personality, but now it is more docile than sheep.

All the corn kernels are kept as seeds, and the dry firewood and charcoal that cannot be burned must be taken away, and all the things that can be taken away in the small yard must be taken away.

Several fires were set up in the yard, and quilts were hung on the wooden poles outside the fires to bake.

Ye Fu and Jiang Rong didn't have a lot of things, and the carriage pulled by the mammoth belonged to them, so they could fit all of them down.

Everyone's supplies are put together, and meals are not separated. The whole team is very united, and there is no one who is holding back.

In terms of weapons, each person has a knife, a gun, bullets and the rest of the guns are kept by Ye Fu.

After the duck feathers were dried, everyone divided them equally, and each made a thick down jacket.

Everyone got a lot of clothes and shoes left over from the fishing boat before. Ye Fu and Jiang Rong brought some back from Country W, and they still have enough to wear now.

The wood used for the carriage is very thick, and the double wheels are very strong. After washing the oilcloth, it is put away in the container. After an inventory, there are now four containers and five carriages.

The day before leaving, Wan Tao organized everyone to slaughter an argali, and made a sumptuous dinner. Ye Fu took out three big green bottles, and everyone drank a small cup.

At ten o'clock the next morning, the sun had come out. Wan Tao opened the door of the yard. Everyone got up one after another to wash up. After breakfast, they loaded the supplies into the car, fed and drank all the animals, and fed the ponies. Ju put on warm rags, and with Wan Tao's "go", everyone left the yard.

The door of the courtyard was closed, and the carriage creaked and set off. Ye Fu and Jiang Rong sat in the mammoth carriage, and they walked at the end of the team.

The carriage is much easier than before, and a stove can be placed on the wooden board at the foot.

Ye Fu and Jiang Rong's carriage was huge, with twelve wheels.

It is almost the same as a small truck, with sliding windows on the top of the compartment, and beds, chairs, and tables are placed inside.

Mammoths are very spiritual. On the first day, Jiang Rong drove the car in front and gave them some instructions. On the second day, they didn't need instructions at all, and they would follow the team.

The carriage was very warm, the temperature was almost ten degrees above zero, Ye Fu woke up from a sleep, the team had already stopped, and the current location was Anhuai City.

It was cold and windy outside the window, fortunately there was no rain or snow, Ye Fu was fully armed and opened the compartment to get down.

The city that has been abandoned for five or six years is just like the ghost towns on TV, dilapidated, barren, and devoid of people.

Everyone will stay here tonight, and continue on the road at [-]:[-] tomorrow morning, find a place with a leeward wind, drive the animals over, start to cook snow water, and let the horses and sheep drink water first.

There are many trees around, Ye Fu and Fang Wei took machetes to cut some leaves, others have already made the safe haven.

Each compartment is equipped with a stove. When you sleep at night, open the window a little bit, and you will not be poisoned. In order to prevent tigers and black bears from attacking, people still need to take turns to keep vigil at night.

Qi Yuan and Fang Ming couldn't stay idle, so they went into the city with their guns in hand. After dinner, Ye Fu took Fang Wei and Wenwen to the bathroom. To prevent frostbite, they had to carry a stove when going to the bathroom outside.

At [-]:[-] in the evening, the two hadn't come back yet, Fang Wei was a little anxious.

"Could they have encountered a black bear?"

"I think they may have lost their way."

"Is there something wrong?"

After waiting for another half an hour, the two still hadn't come back. Fang Wei was about to cry, and everyone decided to go out to find them. In the end, Jiang Rong found the two in a deep pit.

"They fell into the pit and couldn't get out. When I arrived, both of them fainted from the cold."

Ye Fu rescued them for half an hour before resuscitating the unconscious two people.

The rescue method was very simple. They were slapped more than a dozen times so hard that their faces were turned into pig's heads, and they woke up.

"Where's your whistle?" Wan Tao rarely looked serious.

Qi Yuan touched his body, and the whistle was gone.

"The wind is very strong and the temperature is still very low. If Jiang Rong finds you later, the two of you will die of shock."

"Sorry, we won't mess around again."

Wan Tao sighed, "There must be many dangers on the road, including when we get to the finish line, there must be a lot of trouble waiting for us. Everyone must keep their spirits up and don't be greedy for fun."

"Fortunately, none of you had any accidents this time. We are a whole, and everyone is responsible for the whole team."

Both of them were very scared. If they were ten minutes late, as Wan Tao said, they would go into shock soon due to hypothermia.

In order to prevent colds, Wan Tao cooked a large pot of traditional Chinese medicine, and everyone drank two large bowls before heading out on the road the next day.

After this accident, everyone became more cautious on the road ahead.

The distance was about [-] kilometers a day, and after ten days of walking, we came to another city.

The road here is much easier to walk, the endless plains, and there is not a single mountain in sight.

In addition to the snow, there are collapsed buildings here, and occasionally a few bare fruit trees can be seen. A bell is hung on the horn of the head of the sheep. The sound of jingling jingle sounds, and a nest of black birds flutters away from the fruit trees.

In the carriage, the four little guys were lying in the nest and sleeping soundly. Ye Fu took out backgammon and played chess with Jiang Rong.

Only two of Wenwen's snow rabbits were left, and all the others were slaughtered.

Two snow ducks were also placed on their carriage, and Ye Fu could hear the ducks' "quack, quack, quack" from a long distance away.
