Chapter 509: Duan Shaojun is tall and goes to the snow house
"Childe, what should I do? When we came out, we brought two tents......" Xu Qing's face was bitter and desperate, he didn't want to be frozen to death in this wilderness. This is Saibei, the first time I saw the snow I felt quite fresh, but for Xu Qing, who has already seen the severe cold of Saibei, in the wild, if there is a lack of shelter and snow to rest, then everyone will soon be frozen, maybe they will unknowingly fall in this land far from their hometown.
"It's just a camp, you can clean it up, it doesn't matter if you can't clean it up, with this son here, you won't even be able to find a place to rest in the wind and rain." Duan Shaojun patted Xu Qing's shoulder and smiled freely.
"Yes, as long as you say there is a way, there will definitely be a way." Qi Da slapped off the coal ash wrapped around his body in embarrassment, and after hearing this, he laughed loudly.
And these disgraced, frustrated pro-soldiers, gradually recovered. That's right, what can be rare in this world? After thinking about it carefully, there is really nothing to get a childe.
When they finished cleaning up, they found that eleven war horses had disappeared into the vast snowfield, and in addition, there were seven war horses that were difficult to continue because of frostbite.
After hearing such a report, not to mention those pro-soldiers, even Duan Shaojun himself had to secretly rejoice in his heart, fortunately, he had an idea at that time and got so many war horses to come out.
Otherwise, this journey will be over before it has even begun. A vote of people can only wait in the snow for the pursuers to pounce on them.
#####
When Duan Shaojun and the others finished tidying up their luggage and horses and were ready to set off, they sent out their own soldiers to investigate the situation to report that at least two hundred or more teams of horsemen had appeared in the south and east, and they were slowly searching and moving forward.
Receiving this news, Duan Shaojun immediately made a decision and immediately headed north, which was another difficult and long journey.
Everywhere there is a white expanse that cannot be seen, and fortunately, from time to time there will be a flash of the sun hiding behind the clouds in the sky, which can make people find the right direction. "Sister, if you have time, you must make a compass." Duan Shaojun secretly gritted his teeth, and against the bone-piercing cold wind, he continued to move forward.
After a day's worth of trouble, people were sleepy and tired, and the wind and snow began to hit again, Duan Shaojun and the others had to find a suitable shelter for camping before the blizzard raged again.
While rummaging through the luggage, Qi Da said. "Childe, we have a lot of fabrics, furs, and blankets here, and we should be able to build a small tent with these, at least much better than everyone staying in the snow."
"Keep these, just keep them as mattresses for a while, Xu Zheng, Qi Da, you two come over to help." Duan Shaojun carefully looked at the snow in front of him for a long time, and was sure that this thing had been suppressed very strongly, although it could not reach the hardness of masonry, but it was not a problem at all when it was used as a brick pile.
"Childe, you're not kidding, are you?" When I understood what Duan meant, I was going to cut out snow blocks to build a house with bricks.
Qi Da and Xu Zheng were directly messy in the wind, oh no, it's crazy. Porphy, the two brothers knelt down completely.
"Hey, what are you two doing, why don't you come over to help?" Duan Shaojun glanced at the two pro-soldiers with a thunderclapping expression. He pulled out the horizontal knife at his waist and began to prepare to cut an empty space and cut the snow again.
"Childe, you, you're really not joking?" Qi Da slowly pulled out the horizontal knife at his waist, and his mouth trembled a little. I really feel the urge to draw a knife and wipe my neck.
"Nonsense, why don't you hurry up and help, this thing looks lightweight, and it's dead enough." Duan Shaojun gritted his teeth and dug into the snow and said.
Pieces of snow about two sizes long and wide were cut out and laid aside. The people who were originally busy gradually gathered around, and watched Duan Shaojun and a few others busy there.
Looking at Duan Shaojun, they were standing on the gray-yellow grass that had been cleared of heavy snow, holding the horizontal knife in their hands to cut the snow around them that had been repeatedly squeezed and turned harder.
"I said Brother Qi, what is he doing here? When has this been, and he still has time to play in the snow? Beside him, a soldier who had just rushed to gather his horses leaned over and asked curiously.
"Don't fucking nonsense, Childe is building a snowman, he's building a snow house." A soldier next to him who was helping to cut the snow glared at the thing and said angrily.
"Does it make a difference?" The soldier asked rhetorically, with a ruffian look on his face.
"Damn, your grandma's, isn't it boring, dare to doubt the son, beat him up for me!" The soldier who was cutting the snow was furious, and threw down his knife and threw it out, and the people next to him giggled and persuaded him to fight while saying cool things.
"You're all too idle, aren't you? Don't forget, we're on the run. If you don't want to have a problem, you can quickly work in pairs and patrol according to the direction. If there is any warning sign, report it immediately. Qi Da roared at the crowd with a black face. Suddenly, a vote of pro-soldiers scattered.
Seeing these guys rushing out, Qi Da shook his head and continued to cut the snow blocks, while whispering to Duan Shaojun: "Childe, you are too tolerant of them, what has happened to one or two." ”
"Let them be, at this time, they still have the spirit to make trouble, it means that their spirit is very good, although we are fleeing, but there is no need to force everyone to be tense, come, everyone work hard, continue to work hard, and strive to build the snow room before it gets dark."
"Over there, is the stove on fire? When it is raised, quickly bring it over and put it in the middle of this clearing, come Xu Qing, you give me a snow block along this edge......" Duan Shaojun commanded.
The snow blocks are like bricks through the wall, little by little, forming a huge circle, and then, each brick, tilting slightly inward. Gradually, a beautiful arc was formed.
An hour later, a snow hut about two and a half feet long and wide, that is, seven or eight meters, and about five feet higher than the surface of the snow, appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
At this moment, the igloo is facing the leeward direction, and a pipe wrapped in thick wooden planks and animal skins is obliquely protruded around it to act as an insulation layer between it and the snow wall. In order to ensure that the snow wall would not melt, a small window of one foot square was made at the top of the smoke pipe, and a corridor about one zhang long and no more than three feet high was also opened in the leeward place.
Gradually, the increasingly bitter cold wind outside was gradually blocked by the snow wall, and the temperature inside the snow room began to make people feel warm. This surprised Qi Da, Xu Zheng and others who were working so much that they could hardly help themselves.
#####
Originally, I thought that Duan Gongzi was just forced to use snow to block the wind, but he never thought that he could really use snow to build a room that could not be cold.
"Remember, the fire can't be too big, otherwise, the snow wall will become unstrong, Xu Qing, you are responsible for watching the fire." Duan Shaojun walked around inside with satisfaction. It's the first time I've done it in such a tall snow room.,I didn't expect it to be a one-time success.,It seems that he deserves to be a person with the halo of the protagonist.。
It feels very good, staying in the snow room, but it is really a hundred times better than staying outside, there is no cold wind erosion like a knife, and although the temperature is not pleasant, it has at least recovered to a comfortable temperature.
According to the temperature division method of later generations, I am afraid that it can be twelve or thirteen degrees. Duan Shaojun directly took off the outer cloak on his body, moved his sour hands, and saw that after those buddies finished their work, they were still staring at the ceiling of the snow house in a daze, like a batch of salted fish waiting to be sold wholesale, and couldn't help but shout angrily. "Why are you stunned, why don't you prepare dinner soon, you can't let everyone rest hungry at night, right?"
"Childe, this is amazing, isn't it? There's a fire burning down there, no matter how small the fire is, you're not afraid of melting and collapsing the snow? Xu Zheng said tremblingly. It seems that the after-effects of the collapse of the camp tent by heavy snow yesterday are still affecting him.
"Do you know heat transfer? Do you know how the refrigerator works? It seems that you don't know anything, so you should honestly trust me. Looking at Xu Zheng's confused face, Duan Shaojun rolled his eyes and said.
