Chapter 237 Finding Treasure
This honest Weddell seal was lying there unprotected. Eight dogs were also lying on the ice and snow, staring at it with dark eyes. For some reason, they neither bit nor barked.
The big golden retriever even waggled its fluffy tail in a friendly way, walked up to it, wrinkled its black nose, and sniffed all over its body. The seven monsters all know that no matter how awesome the seal is in the water, it is not so good on the ice and snow.
It can't run fast, it can only crawl like a child of a few months old. At best, it can only defend itself, but cannot quickly pursue, run or attack.
At this time, the Hua Dan next to it not only wanted to bully it further, but also wanted to taste the seal meat. It tasted amazing!
Having made up his mind, Hua Dan pretended to be nonchalant, secretly pulled out the knife, and nudged the seal little by little, just like a gecko, so slow that it was difficult for people to notice his micro-movements. This guy is usually so damn cunning.
miles.
If it were in the sea, this world-famous Weddell seal could be the fire ancestor of Zhang Shun'er in "Water Margin". It is the most awesome diving pinniped, and it can even dive into the deep sea below 600 meters.
, which lasted for an hour.
Even the best divers can't even think of tracking it for half a meter. Its graceful swimming style will be fleeting, just like a big submarine.
But having said that, Weddell seals are also the most honest and courteous seals. They are not as insignificant as leopard seals, and they are so vicious and terrifying.
And now we are not in the water, but on the ice and snow! So when the Weddell seal on the ice and snow meets the tomb robber Hua Dan on land, think about it, it will be a good show.
It has no external ears at all, and its head is pitifully small, smaller than Hua Dan’s head! This means it is destined to have a “big breast, small head, and no brain”! It won’t be too smart!
The cerebellum content of this big guy is only about 5% of that of the human brain. The proportion of the head and the body is seriously out of proportion. Unlike animals such as sparrows, although the head is small, the whole body is also small and has all five internal organs.
That's normal...
Such a behemoth, with a mini head that weighs less than a thousand to one, is destined to fall into the hands of Hua Dan this time.
Hua Dan was seen slowly approaching the seal, slowly shortening the distance to less than one meter, and then suddenly she went crazy: there was a flash of white light, and the sharp knife had cut off the trachea at the seal's neck.
The poor seal had a round head and a short neck. It tilted its little head and lay on the ice and snow, unable to move. The stab wounds on its neck were exposed through the thick fat flesh, bleeding with bright red blood, and it was hissing and panting.
White foam and pink bubbles, dying.
The Six Monsters looked at Hua Dan in surprise. They never thought that this kid could hunt seals. How could they eat such a big guy weighing six to seven hundred pounds?
Nowadays, the common people in the countryside who celebrate the New Year only need to kill a pig of 200 to 300 kilograms during the New Year. They also have to give half of the pig to relatives and friends or sell half of it. The remaining half will have to be eaten by the whole family for a whole month. Such a large amount of meat, this
Didn't the boy kill innocent people indiscriminately?
The actress didn't care about this. He still held the bright red knife dripping with blood in his hand, laughing! "As if he was about to get into the bowl!"
After a while, the seal gave up its breath and died completely.
Snake King Erdan clapped his hands and stamped his feet and said with a smile: "Haha, you can eat seal meat!"
Brother Qi glared at Snake King Erdan, then looked at Hua Dan and said, "Damn it, haven't you had enough?"
Hua Dan burped, giggled, rubbed the knife on the seal, wiped away the blood, inserted it into her boot and said, "I'll eat it next time."
Brother Qi squinted against the wind and said, "This seal stays here. It's a natural cold storage. It won't be damaged when we find the treasure and come back to eat it! Everyone, bring the guys and the dogs, and let's go."
Two minutes later, the eight dogs struggled to pull the seven tomb robbers on the plow, arduously running on the ice and snow, and embarked on a seemingly hopeless treasure hunt.
This year's polar treasure hunt, the long road from old Beijing in the late Qing Dynasty to the Antarctic, took a full year to reach the pole. It was already the winter of 1902.
As early as the year before that year (that is, October 10, 1911), the revolutionaries in the mainland launched the Wuchang Uprising, and in the following two months, it led to revolutionary responses across the country.
Soon, 17 of the original 22 provinces of the Qing Dynasty had become independent, and representatives were sent to elect Mr. Sun Yat-sen, who had just returned to the country, as the interim president of the Republic of China.
On January 1, 1911, when they had just stepped out of Yunnan and sailed into the South China Sea, Mr. Sun Yat-sen had been sworn in - thus the Republic of China was officially established.
And they don't know it yet.
At this time, the eight dogs were raising their tails and lowering their heads, trying hard to pull the plow under the seven monsters, and trotted towards the depths of the Antarctic continent.
Angel Yaomei'er was sitting in the front, and Hua Dan was sitting behind the plow, secretly looking at the back of Angel Yaomei'er's head, just like the love scenes on TV today.
This guy is a lazy guy. Apart from being lustful, he just eats and drinks. His eyes are looking at the back of Angel Yaomei'er's head, but at the same time he is thinking about the seal he just killed.
In fact, despite the desolate appearance of this snowy Antarctic, there are actually not only penguins and Weddell seals that are not afraid of the cold, but also elephant seals, sea wolves, snow petrels, fur seals, krill and many other animals. This makes Cunning
During this trip, the greedy Hua Dan had many opportunities to satisfy her gluttony.
These dogs are not sled dogs from around the Arctic Circle, so they are not very good at pulling the plow, and they are not very fast at first.
But after a while, these dogs gradually adapted to plowing, and they barked and walked as fast as they could.
This kind of special wooden snow tool is called "Fala'er" by the Manchu people.
Every spring, wet oak tree poles as thick as the mouth of a bowl, or other hard mixed trees, are baked and bent over a blazing fire, and then pressure is used to bend the tree poles up and into shape.
After it dries in the autumn, the birch wood is used to make a sledge frame, which is connected to two fixed oak tree poles with elbows about one meter apart. It can generally hold at least 500 kilograms of people or goods on ice and snow, and it can drive
Like flying.
In fact! This strange tool that is only found in the north is the main means of travel for the Manchu and Hezhe people in winter. Even though it is pulled by livestock, it is equivalent to a "Mercedes 600" on the snow! Regardless of how powerful the car is, it is basically useless in the ice and snow.
If you can't eat it, it will quickly burn out and turn into scrap metal.
This strange plow was once popular in Jilin, Heilongjiang and other provinces, as well as other northern countries in the world. Because the master of the Seven Monsters, Tu Ye, traveled all over the country and spent three years in the Northeast when he was thirty-eight years old, he was very good at it.
He later passed this skill on to his seventh brother, who worked overtime to make this plow from Yunnan trees when he was at the Car and Horse Inn in Kunming, Yunnan.
At that time, he ignored the ridicule of Snake King Erdan and insisted on transporting the plow here in a big ship. It can be said that he was very deliberate. No, this has come in handy now.
After about three bags of cigarettes, the dogs suddenly barked and turned to the left, and after running less than ten meters to the east, they all got into chaos and stopped! They even pulled
