After struggling to jump out of the car, Wei Ran picked up a ball of snow and placed it on the water tank cover. The stinging water vapor immediately evaporated and blurred the gas mask lenses on his face.
"I didn't pay attention..." Gale said regretfully.
"Put some snow in it and try to activate it."
After Wei Ran finished speaking, he looked at the surrounding environment, and then he discovered that this was the narrow lake where Akeem landed his plane in later generations!
While he was distracted, Gale had already unscrewed the hot water tank cover, jumped out of the car, picked up a ball of snow and stuffed it in.
However, after he and Wei Ran were busy for more than ten minutes, although the temperature of the engine had dropped, the half-track was completely stuck and unable to start!
"It's my fault, it's all my fault!" Gale felt more and more regretful. After losing the half-track, they wouldn't be able to go very far at all!
"It's okay Gail"
Kantan, who had also woken up, looked at his watch and said, "We have gone far enough. Now let's find a place to set up a tent and survive."
"Go there!"
Gale, who was eager to make up for his mistake, pointed to the forest not far away, "The terrain there seems to be higher. Although I don't know what the conditions are like inside, at least there shouldn't be too much snow."
“Then go there”
Kantan looked at the two cargo buckets that were not full. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Bring these two cargo buckets with you. They have sleds on them. We should be able to pull them. In addition, bring all the cargo buckets that can be moved."
Bring everything with you."
"Would you like some hot water?"
Wei Ran had already opened the engine hood as he spoke, "Maybe it's not very clean, but the snow that was put into the water tank just now should have melted. Even if it's not drinkable, it can at least be put into a kettle and used as a hot water bottle.
"
“This is a good suggestion”
Kantan looked worriedly at Dorian, who was still unconscious, put his fingers into the gap between his gas mask and his forehead, frowned and said, "Dorian has a fever."
"Then let's move quickly, Gale, give me the kettle, and then you pack up the cargo compartment." Wei Ran said, having already found the hose connected to the water tank, but then he noticed that the hose was
Water leaks out very quickly.
No wonder...
Wei Ran muttered to himself, took the kettle handed by Gale, moved it to the hose, and put the hot snow water that had just been boiled and heated by the high temperature of the engine into the kettle.
Unfortunately, he discovered the leak too late, so the leaking hose had dried up after just connecting a pot of water.
Tightening the lid, Wei Ran stuffed the scalding kettle into Dorian's arms. At the same time, Kantan and Gale had dumped everything onto a sled trailer, and then put the unconscious body into Dorian's arms.
Dorian was put into the empty cargo compartment.
"Kangtan, are your legs okay?" As Wei Ran spoke, he was already pulling the heaviest one with a rope and taking a step forward.
"It's okay, I'm okay"
As Kantan spoke, he also limped and helped Gale pull the sled bucket under Dorian forward.
After walking less than two or three meters, they belatedly noticed that under the knee-deep snow, the tires on the front of the car had actually pressed against the shore of the frozen lake.
After struggling to drag the two sled buckets ashore, the guilty Gale quickened his pace and walked in front, like a yak, clearing the way for the guards behind him and Kantan, who was pushing the drag buckets forward.
Looking at Dorian who was still unconscious in the cargo compartment in front, and then at the sled tracks behind him, Weiran said hello to Kantan, then stopped, untied the pine branches fixed to the rear of the car, and leaned on
Using skills learned from the Hongqi Forestry Farm, they carefully cleaned up the traces left on the ground from the lake shore to the coniferous forest. They even used the shovel in the towing bucket to barely bury half of the trees parked on the shore.
Crawler motorcycle.
Cleaning up all the way and moving forward, Wei Ran's speed was undoubtedly much slower than that of the three Gales in front. But after all, we had just been to this place not long ago, and there were sled marks that needed to be cleaned, so we didn't worry about it.
Get separated from them.
However, just when he hid behind a pine tree and verified that the items that could be taken out of the metal book were indeed exactly the same as the items he saw in the pictures that passed before his eyes before entering the battlefield, Gale and others
Suddenly, a crisp gunshot sounded from the direction!
"broken!"
Wei Ran immediately put away the blues harmonica he took out at the end, struggled to get up and ran towards the direction of Kantan and others.
However, after running a hundred or ten meters, Wei Ran, who did not hear the second gunshot, stopped. After hesitating for a moment, he immediately turned around and ran back to the sled bucket he had left behind, and hid again in the sleigh where he had just hidden.
Behind the pine tree, he took out the telescope in the metal book and looked in the direction he came from.
Five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes, half an hour, until Gale came trotting over, Wei Ran put away his binoculars. Fortunately, the gunshot just now did not seem to attract the attention of the pursuers.
"Why are you still here?" Gale asked breathlessly.
"Let's see if that gunshot will attract the Germans." Weiran stood up and asked, "What happened just now?"
"Brown Bear!"
Gale took off the gas mask on his face and said with a hint of surprise in his tone, "We found a brown bear! It was hiding in an abandoned house. It woke up as soon as I turned on the flashlight. Fortunately, Kantan immediately
Give it a shot!”
Having said this, Gale pointed to the remaining blood stains at the hem of his clothes with lingering fear, "The bullet went through its ear and into its brain, otherwise it might have bitten off my leg."
"You're so lucky." Wei Ran couldn't help but shook his head.
"We are really lucky!"
Gale said happily, "Although that house collapsed with only half of the wall left, at least it was warm enough inside. The brown bear laid a thick layer of pine branches inside."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "And within a short time, there will be no shortage of food."
Wei Ran said dumbfounded, secretly sighing that these people were really lucky. But perhaps it was because of luck and Quentin who took the initiative to lead the pursuers away that they were able to escape here, and
Let's build a shelter.
"You and I want to be together!"
Gale said this but felt disappointed again, "It would be great if...it would be great if Quentin was here, he would definitely be able to cook a lot of delicious food for us."
"Is he a good cook?" Wei Ran asked as he picked up the rope tied to the sled bucket and put it on his shoulder.
Gale put on his gas mask again and helped drag the tractor forward while explaining, "Quentin is a chef, a chef who can cook French and German cuisine. Unfortunately, he is a Jew."
"What about you?" Wei Ran asked as he dragged the tractor forward, "Are you a Jew too?"
"I'm not Jewish, but I'm half Gypsy. In addition, I'm Quentin's apprentice."
Gale paused and continued, "You know Strasbourg, right? Our restaurant is there. Of course, it was later occupied by the Germans."
"Where's Kantan?" Wei Ran asked, "And Dorian..."
"Uncle Quantan seems to be from Paris."
Gale glanced behind him and continued, "Dorian seems to be from the countryside of Lille. That's all I know. Victor, what about you? Where are you from? Why haven't I seen you before?"
"I was in another car before." Wei Ran hesitated for a moment and said with a hint of malice, "I'm from Dunkirk. Do you know Dunkirk?"
"of course I know"
There was a hint of sarcasm in Gale's tone, "Isn't that where those British guys escaped from in the 1940s? I heard that they ran away so fast that they couldn't even catch up with their master's shoes."
"It's really fast," Wei Ran joked with a smile, "Not only the shoes, but also the underwear were lost."
Gale snorted, "God knows you can expect a rooster to give a dog a beautiful daughter with big breasts, but you can never expect an Englishman to do what men should do."
No wonder the British were pioneers in breastfeeding after World War II...
Wei Ran muttered to himself that the long history of grievances and resentments between Britain and France almost started with the international etiquette of raising the middle finger.
But fortunately, maybe it was because the topic was brought to the British guy that it made Gale feel a little better, and he finally put aside his worries about Quentin for the time being.
During the idle chat, the two pulled the sleigh and finally stopped in the middle of a small forest clearing.
Compared to later generations, there is indeed an abandoned house here, but most of the walls of this house have collapsed and been buried in the snow. What can be seen now is only one side less than one meter high, and there is a
A hole in the stone wall, and a large and scary brown bear carcass outside the cave entrance.
In addition, not far from the house, there are two logs crisscrossed together. Although they are also covered with snow, it can still be seen that the thickest one
They are almost the same size as an oil drum. Even the thin one at the bottom is at least as thick as a waist.
"You are finally back." Kantan immediately breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Wei Ran, "No one is chasing you, right?"
“Not yet”
Wei Ran shook his head, turned on the flashlight and looked around the brown bear's body. This big guy looked like it weighed at least four to five hundred kilograms, but the thick layer of fur on its body was already covered by a handful in his hand.
Uncle Cantan took off most of the Mauser bayonet.
"Come in and warm yourself up!"
Kantan put his hand into the belly of the brown bear, used the remaining body warmth to warm his hands, and at the same time forced himself to say, "I have to peel off the skin before it is completely frozen. With this bear skin
, at least it can keep us warmer, and the bear fat on its body is also precious."
"Let me help you!"
While Gale was speaking, he had already pulled out a captured Finnish hunting knife from the sled bucket he had just pulled over. "I have killed goats in Quentin's restaurant before, so I know how to do it."
"I'm here to help too"
Wei Ran had already taken off the gas mask on his face as he spoke, and then used the cover of his cloak to take out the Mauser bayonet in the metal book, "I skinned a reindeer."
"I'm very happy to have your help. Gale, come and help me. Victor, you'd better go inside and see Dorian first. His condition is not very good." While speaking, Kantan had already picked up his hand again.
He picked up the bloody bayonet and continued the unfinished skinning work.
"Then I'll go take a look"
Wei Ran put away his bayonet and got into the hole, and then he began to regret why he had just taken off his gas mask. The triangular space in the hole was not big, but it was filled with the unpleasant smell of feces, and he was still huddled in his sleeping bag.
Dorian inside also occupied the position that originally belonged to the brown bear.
He reached out and touched the other person's hot forehead. After thinking for a moment, Wei Ran dug out the hole and dug out a handful of snow, put it into the canvas bag originally used to store the gas mask canister, and applied it on Dorian's face.
On the forehead.
Even without the medical knowledge learned at the Hongqi Forest Farm, just relying on common sense in daily life, I know that this young man who looks to be at least seventeen or eighteen years old undoubtedly has a cold due to hypothermia and typhoid fever. In addition, there may be long-term malnutrition.
The resulting physical exhaustion. Obviously, the easiest way now is to find a way to get him something hot to eat.
