Chapter 193 Sleeping in the Grassland
Several people checked Niss from front to back, inside and out, and found that apart from a few bruises, he did not receive any serious injuries. Then everyone sat down and rested for a while. Hours are really exhausting.

All four of them were sweating profusely. According to Niss, he accidentally stepped on a piece of soil and fell down. One head plunged into this piece of bull's skull, and his jaw was squeezed so hard that he couldn't speak.

And his hands and legs were also stuck in the cracks in the ground, and he couldn't move. At the same time, the large amount of debris he brought in when he fell half buried himself. Nice has been trying to use his legs He and his hands slowly backed away, he used his feet and fingers to slowly grab the soil in the cracks in the ground, but it was of no use because there was too little room for movement.

However, Nice's efforts were not ineffective. After more than an hour, his feet accidentally touched the shotgun that had fallen in the ground.So it took another ten minutes, and Nis squeezed the shotgun to his hand little by little with his feet, and then fired.

After waiting for a long time, he still didn't hear an answer. He guessed that several people might not have heard the gunshot, so he hesitated to fire the last shot.It was precisely because of the two gunshots that more debris fell from the cracks in the ground, making his range of activities even smaller.

Nice was very afraid that the broken soil would completely block the cracks in the ground, and he would suffocate to death in the cracks.So he didn't dare to move more, and barely survived by adjusting his breathing.

Fortunately, Nice had worked as an engineer before, and he often did some projects such as digging trenches or digging holes, so he knew the characteristics of the soil very well, and it was Nice's correct choice that won him the time to be rescued.

It was almost dark at this time, and this was the first time for the three civil engineers to watch the sunset on the grassland.Although watching the sunset here is not as exciting as watching the sunset on the sea, it also has a special charm.The grassland at this time is like a green sea, and now part of the sun has been blocked by this green sea. It seems that in another ten, twenty, ten minutes, the sky will be completely dark.

Because it is easy to encounter some dangers and get lost when walking on the grassland at night, Nis decided to find a nearby place where they could sleep, so they set their eyes on the hill next to several people.

By the time the four of them walked up the hill and chose a place sheltered from the wind as their camp, it was already completely dark.Camping on the grassland is very different from other places. There are too many dangers on the grassland, and the biggest danger is the wild wolf.

"Brother Nice, we're just camping here, and you don't light a fire or anything. What if wolves come? I heard that wolves are most afraid of fire. How about we A bunch of them?" Yang Lei asked worriedly.

"You don't have to be afraid, there are no wild wolves around here. I told you before that it is not unreasonable to call this place abandoned by the grassland. The wolves on the grassland have their own territory, unless there is a special Otherwise, the wolves are only active in their territory. This area does not belong to any wolf's territory.

And over the years, the number of wolves on the grassland has been very small.The scene you imagined of hundreds of wild wolves gathering together usually only appears in novels.A pack of wolves on the grassland usually consists of a few to a dozen wolves, led by a male wolf and a female wolf.Only in winter when food is extremely scarce, several packs of wolves will gather together, but even then, the size of the pack is only forty or fifty.

It is even more inadvisable to ignite.Although flames are something that wolves are afraid of, flames will also attract wolves at night. It's okay if you don't light a fire. Once you light a fire, it is really possible to attract them.Because wolves are just like humans, they also have curiosity. Besides, fire will attract more mosquitoes. Don’t be afraid, the eagles in our grassland have their own ways to deal with wild wolves. "

After Nice finished speaking, he took out a few small cloth bags from the horse's bag and threw them near the people.According to him, these small cloth bags contained the black bear feces he got.

Generally speaking, herdsmen on the grasslands seldom camp in the wild.If you have to sleep in the wild under unavoidable circumstances like now, then this small cloth bag filled with black bear feces is the best thing to expel wolves.Wolves are very afraid of bears, and they will run away when they smell a bear from a distance.

Next, Nice produced a small bottle of lotion with a nozzle on it.He sprayed some of the liquid from the cosmetic bottle on everyone's exposed areas, and then helped them spread it evenly. It is said that this thing can prevent mosquito bites.

Although several people were very tired, none of them wanted to sleep.First, the ground here is very hard, and it is very uncomfortable for people to lie on it. Second, the three of them are also a little worried about encountering wolves. scared.So a few people chatted all over the place.

"Don't tell me, big brother Nice, your mosquito repellent is really good. Not only does it have no smell at all, it's not as choking as toilet water, but it's also really effective. I haven't been hit by it until now." I've been bitten by mosquitoes, and I didn't even hear mosquitoes buzzing in my ears. Where did you get this mosquito repellent water? I'll make a few bottles when I go back." Yang Lei asked.

"Actually, it's not as miraculous as you think. I made this mosquito repellent water myself. It's not only effective, but also very cheap to make. It might not even cost you [-] cents for just one bottle." Nice replied with a smile. All of a sudden, his words aroused the interest of several people.

"The secret recipe is very simple. If you didn't save my life today, I wouldn't tell you anything. This is actually vitamin B1 mixed with water. After crushing a few tablets of vitamin B1, pour it into the water. Then shake it well, and that’s the bottle of mosquito repellent.”

They chatted like this, sometimes telling jokes, and sometimes telling Nice about the ridiculous things that happened to them.Yang Lei wanted to ask Chen Ziyang about those big pots several times, but recalling Chen Ziyang's nervous expression during the day, he didn't want to ask any more.Everyone was talking like this, and slowly they all fell asleep one after another.

In the middle of the night, Yang Lei woke up from the cold. The temperature difference between morning and evening on the grassland is very large, especially at night.Although Niss chose a place sheltered from the wind, and they were covered with sheepskins for warmth, it was still very cold.

After Yang Lei woke up from the cold, he found Chen Ziyang sitting on a rock in the distance, looking up at the sky with a serious expression on his face.
