Ye Fu, Jiang Run and Qi Yuan worked hard and finally got a few horses to the deck. With Jiang Run around, although the horses were anxious, they did not dare to mess around and they all stood obediently on the deck.
Above, the guardrail has been completed, but a horse pen still needs to be built.
At this time, Fang Ming and Fang Wei also came back, and they gained even more, driving back ten horses.
"You guys are too awesome."
Fang Ming chuckled, "I'm not very talented. My family used to run a horse farm, so I was quite good at training horses."
Ye Fu touched his chin, "Then these horses will be under your control from now on."
Fang Ming's expression was a bit hard to explain, "Isn't this Bi Mawen's job?"
Fang Wei reacted and laughed loudly from the side, "Brother, Ye Fu said you are Bima Wen."
"Can I choose a horse now?" Qi Yuan rubbed his hands and started to choose.
Ye Fu nodded, "You can choose, but you still have to learn how to ride a horse. Two people ride one horse, and the rest carries supplies."
"This fishing boat is an ordinary type. The deck is not particularly large. They have to be crowded together and there is not much room for activities." Fang Ming suddenly thought of something, "You still have to shovel poop. How to solve this problem? Do you want to spread some on the ground?
Plastic sheeting?”
"Put down a layer of tarpaulin, and everyone will take turns shoveling the shit."
Wu Pei and Officer Song chopped the leaves back, shook off the snow on them, and fed them to the horses.
Everyone went to cut down some trees and set up a horse pen on the deck. The horses were driven inside. In order to prevent them from jumping up and down, they had to be tied up.
They also had to prepare enough leaves for at least a month. Ye Fu and Jiang Run also went to the mountains, and they cut down some more trees. The trees here were very strong, which was perfect for burning fires, and they also stored a lot of leaves in the space.
After two days of rest, the fishing boat set off again. Because there were sixteen more horses on the boat, the speed of the fishing boat was much slower.
Although there are more glaciers along the way, the waterway is still smooth.
Half of the frozen fish and shrimp leaves on the next layer were collected, and the rest was taken out and made into dried fish for easy portability.
The ship ran into a dilemma after three days of sailing. The glacier blocked the way and the water surface was already covered with thick ice. Although there were explosives in Ye Fu's space, she was helpless in the face of the endless glacier.
"Take inventory of all the food. I'm afraid we'll have to ride away."
"What to do with the boat? Don't you want it anymore?" Qi Yuan looked at the fishing boat and felt it was a pity.
Ye Fu scratched his ears, saying it was impossible, she would definitely take him away.
"We have no choice but to abandon the ship. The water is completely frozen. I'm afraid the situation in our country is not optimistic."
After hearing Wan Tao's words, everyone fell silent.
"There are several small containers in the warehouse. Put the supplies inside, get some wheels, and transform the containers into carriages, so that you can pull more things."
Wan Tao nodded, "The method Ye Fu said is feasible. There are woods nearby. Let's chop wood to make wheels, saddles, and reins first."
Everyone started to get busy. There was a lot of diesel left in the warehouse, which was collected by Ye Fu. Only she and Jiang Rong knew about the situation in the warehouse. Officer Song didn't have to worry about others noticing.
Now there are sixteen horses, ten pulling supplies, and four small containers.
To avoid moisture, all supplies must be placed inside the tarpaulin. Food, water, medicine, clothes, quilts, kitchen utensils...as well as leaves and firewood that the horses eat, everything has been packed away.
Three days later, the wheels were ready, and more than a dozen spares were made. All the supplies were placed in the container, and a place was even made available for six small animals and Wenwen.
Two horses pulled a container, and the remaining two camels had leaves and dry wood for fire.
Everyone was fully armed and bundled up from head to toe. They fed the horses water and leaves, and everyone was about to set off again. Ye Fu and Jiang Run were at the back. Wan Tao had a very good sense of direction, so he took the lead.
.
"I really can't bear to part with this ship. It's such a pity that I can't take it with me." Qi Yuan almost cried. He lacks everything now. Giving up a ship is like tearing out his heart and flesh.
Officer Song went over and patted him on the shoulder, "If you give up, you will gain. Don't we still have horses?"
"I just feel it's a pity."
The horses started to go on their way. After they were all gone, Ye Fu and Jiang Run went back and put the fishing boat into the space. Because there was Officer Song in front of them, and he was covering them, no one noticed when they left.
It was not easy to ride on horseback. It was even more painful in the first two days. It got better after getting used to it. Because it was difficult to walk on the ice, the riding speed was very slow. In the white snow, the road they walked on was full of traces.
There were a series of horse footprints and wheel marks.
At night, everyone can only sit by the fire to keep warm. In order to prevent them from freezing to death in their sleep, someone must take turns to keep watch.
The trip that originally only took eight days ended up being postponed to a month.
Ye Fu added salt to the water for the horses. The long journey over mountains and ridges was a challenge for both humans and horses.
Ye Fu and Jiang Run rode Xiao Hei. Xiao Zao was assigned by Ye Fu to pull the container. The little guy had a bad temper and was very repulsive at first. After a few days, his temper was reduced a lot and he became docile to his relatives.
Occasionally you will encounter elk or snow leopards on the road. Now even Wenwen has begun to participate in hunting, and everyone's shooting skills have become up to standard.
However, Ye Fu still equipped everyone with guns, including Wenwen. There were too many dangers encountered along the way. In addition to natural disasters, most of the dangers came from human beings. With weapons, others would not dare to come up to provoke. Compared with
It will be much safer.
When we arrived at the border of Country E, there were only boundless glaciers, no forests, and no rivers, so we could only save a little firewood.
There are far fewer survivors living here, and a few igloos can still be seen scattered on the ice.
"Although there are no forests on the border, there are many mines. They can dig coal mines to keep warm." Wan Tao explained to everyone. As a big leader, his knowledge reserve exceeds everyone present.
"It's not easy, but they seem to have also raised some animals. They look very strange. They don't look like horses, but they look like elephants."
Wan Tao laughed loudly, "That's a mammoth. It's difficult to tame. It would be great if we could encounter it."
Mammoth?
Ye Fu searched in his mind about the appearance of this creature. It was very similar to an elephant, but its hair was very long. It lived in extremely cold areas. It was very strong and had teeth bigger than ivory. It was a very mysterious creature.
animal.
Ye Fu also wants to have one.
A few snow eagles flew over the glacier from time to time. Ye Fu did not expect that they would be washed away by the sea from the south to other countries, and finally circle around and return to the northeast.
