After bidding farewell to the Nenets couple, Wei Ran found an opportunity to secretly take a photo of the Nenets couple waving goodbye in front of the stone house, and then he and Mesut each drove a sleigh to the main location.
North direction.
The difference from before is that the two pregnant doe pulling Mesut's sled have turned into nine dogs with bright red tongues. His sled has also changed into a shape similar to these dogs.
Comes with a small sleigh.
These smart sled dogs are only half of the sled dogs raised by the Nenets couple, but even so, this dog sled is much faster than the reindeer sled that Wei Ran shouted.
The two sleds of different types were less than fifty meters away from each other and ran wildly. When the stone house and the forest behind them were completely invisible, Mesut skillfully shouted to the dogs to stop.
He came down, waited for the reindeer behind him to catch up, and then said, "The couple just said that today is December 20th, and we are still less than 300 kilometers away from the Ural Mountains."
"What are your plans?" Wei Ran asked after the two reindeer stopped.
"At our current speed, we might be able to reach the foot of the Ural Mountains before Christmas."
Mesut paused, "Do you still remember our agreement? If any of us are in danger."
"Remember" Wei Ran nodded, "You don't have to save me, and I won't save you."
"Let's go," Mesut said, shaking the rope, calling on the dogs to turn around and start running westward again.
Behind him, Wei Ran once again took out the Kiev 30 camera that had only a few negatives left, and pressed the shutter towards Mesut's back.
Thanks to this transaction, the two of them moved much faster. After all, they traded a lot of food, which saved the two of them the most time-consuming hunting time.
Secondly, with these dogs around, they didn't even have to take turns guarding against the wolves at night. Even the fox meat they had hunted before was not wasted, and it all became food for these dogs.
However, the good times did not last long. On the second day after they completed the transaction, there was another snowstorm on the tundra!
But this time, the two of them were really unlucky. They were still hundreds of kilometers away from the Ob River. Not only did they only have two kerosene lamps for lighting late at night, but most importantly, there were two
The sled dog pulling the cart also stepped on the animal trap arranged by someone unknown while running wildly.
This sudden situation not only caused the dogs to fall into a ball, but the sled they were dragging also turned over several times, throwing away the supplies along with Mesut!
Wei Ran, who was originally drowsy on the sled, woke up immediately after hearing Mesut's screams. He quickly shouted to the reindeer to stop, and ran towards Mesut with a kerosene lamp.
However, when he shouted at the dogs and illuminated the light of the kerosene lamp on Mesut, who was lying on the ground screaming, he frowned. At this time, one of his hands seemed to be pressing down tightly.
On a beast trap the size of a washbasin! The huge and rusty blade of the beast trap had bitten his elbow hard!
After coming back to his senses, Wei Ran quickly put the kerosene lamp aside, and after some research, he opened the locking device of the animal trap. Amidst Mesut's screams, he opened the rusty toothed blade and killed him.
The broken hand was rescued.
Before he could help Mesut sit up, the sleeves of his deerskin robe were already dyed dark red with blood, and his arm was loosely twisted into an angle that normal people couldn't do.
Helping him lie down flat, Wei Ran's heart sank after some inspections. Mesut's injuries were far more than just his arm. There were even large scratches on his face, but the most important thing was that he
One of his legs was also twisted from the middle of the thigh to an angle that normal people couldn't do, and it was also entangled with the sled dog's reins!
"Victor"
Mesut grabbed Wei Ran's cuff with his other good hand, "Listen to me Victor."
Seeing Wei Ran looking at him, Mesut put his hand into his pocket in a slight panic, took out a folded piece of paper and handed it to Wei Ran.
"This is my home address"
Mesut paused, "There is also Ihor's address. If, if you can escape back, at least write a letter to my wife and Ihor's father."
"You'd better write this letter yourself"
While Wei Ran was speaking, he put away the folded paper, then stood up and walked towards the reindeer sleigh a few meters away under Mesut's desperate gaze.
Fortunately, Wei Ran did not leave just like they had agreed. Instead, he brought the sleigh over and carefully pulled Mesut up and lay down.
Looking around, Wei Ran found a nearby tree, set up the tent as quickly as possible, then pushed the sleigh in, and then brought the few dogs that were still alive into the tent and tied them to the tree.
, and by the way, the two dogs who were injured but were obviously not going to survive were given a stab wound each, which finally ended their suffering.
He packed the corners of the tent with snow and dog corpses, and drove in a few pitons made by Mesut himself with difficulty. Only after he was sure that the tent would not be blown into flags by the snowstorm, he got in and did some digging.
After hesitating, he simply took out the kerosene gas lamp from the metal book under the cover of the box, lit it, and hung it on the tree trunk with a piton.
"Where did you get the kerosene gas lamp?" Mesut, who was lying on the sled with half of his body paralyzed, paused and added, "Why does it look like it was made in Germany?"
"Found in that abandoned mine"
Wei Ran explained casually while using an ax to unload a piece of wood from the sleigh, "I thought it might be useful, so I secretly brought it with me."
Although he did not return Mesut's second question, Mesut did not ask in detail. He just murmured to himself after a period of silence, "You can leave me and continue walking."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "As a friend, I will not leave you until the last moment."
Wei Ran said in a joking tone, "When we reach the Ob River, I will let your sled run south to help me attract attention."
Hearing this, Mesut couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile, even though he had already heard that Wei Ran was joking.
After some preparations, he ignited the charcoal fire in the iron bucket. Wei Ran first asked the other party to drink the last bottle of vodka they had left, and then handed the gloves to Mesut, "I need to tie you up."
The sleigh has to make sure you don't move around. The bone setting process will be very painful, so you have to be prepared."
"bring it on"
Mesut, who had just drank, gritted his teeth, bit his gloves, and allowed Wei Yan to tie him tightly to the sleigh he built himself with a rope.
"What's your wife's name?" Wei Ran asked as he tied Mesut's injured thigh with a rope.
"Jordan" Mesut bit his gloves and replied vaguely, "Jordan Kruger is an Austrian girl."
"This name sounds like it's suitable for playing basketball," Wei Ran couldn't help but muttered.
"basketball?"
Before Mesut had time to mutter these words, Wei Ran pulled his legs and started to work on the bones. Mesut also forgot about basketball and put all his energy into screaming and clenching his gloves.
on this matter.
It took a lot of effort to help the German guy straighten the broken bones. While tying a makeshift splint, Wei Ran changed the subject and asked, "Do you still remember those Soviets you killed?
"
"Remember, why don't you remember?"
Mesut, who lost consciousness several times due to the pain and then regained consciousness due to the pain, was already covered in cold sweat, but still trembling as he explained, "I still don't regret killing them."
"Why?" Wei Ran asked casually.
"Didn't you kill them with me?"
Mesut thought Wei Ran was trying to divert his attention, "Do you regret it? If we hadn't killed those drunkards, what kind of torture would Kalle's daughter have suffered? How old was she then? I think she was only 17
Years old."
"I have no regrets"
Wei Ran responded casually, tied the splint tightly with the cut animal skin, then moved to the other end of the sleigh, and while untying the arm that was fractured by the animal clamp, he said, "Bear it a little longer, and you can still do it."
Want to do it again."
Hearing this, Mesut immediately bit the hand that Wei Ran offered with one hand, closed his eyes tightly and frowned, waiting for Wei Ran's torture.
However, Wei Ran frowned when he used a knife to cut open the deerskin sleeves and the inner sleeves. The force of the animal trap was indeed strong enough, not only leaving ferocious tooth-like wounds on his upper and lower arms, but also
Just by reaching out and squeezing it, you can feel that the bones inside are broken!
Sighing secretly, Wei Ran ignored Mesut's piercing screams and wails, and tried his best to piece together as many broken bones as he could touch.
But at the same time, he also knew clearly that unless an operation was performed on such an injury, even if the metal book taught him the art of massage and bone setting, the arm would probably be considered useless even if it could grow back.
However, he did not tell the cruel truth to Mesut, who was suffering from pain.
After a lot of hard work, he managed to align the broken bones of his arm and put a splint on it, but Mesut had completely lost consciousness due to the severe pain.
After covering the unkempt German with a wolfskin blanket, Wei Ran sat beside the iron bucket with burning coals and sighed secretly.
He imagined countless possibilities, and even prepared to be tricked by the Nenets couple and even die on the way over the Ural Mountains, but he never thought that the person who really kept Mesut here forever would be
These are the animal traps left behind by an unknown polar hunter.
In that fragment of history without its own, in this unknown wilderness tundra, before the blizzard comes, what will the injured Mesut do?
Almost subconsciously, he thought of the Nenets couple. It was only a day's journey away from the warm and solid stone house. Even without the two sled dogs, they could barely run back.
Lifting up a corner of the tent door, he looked at the sky outside and then at Mesut who was unconscious. Wei Ran sighed secretly, took out the Kiev camera in his pocket, and used one of the three remaining negatives to capture the picture.
Seeing everything in the tent illuminated by the icy blue light, I gently pressed the shutter.
