On the endless ice field, two cars were speeding past one behind the other.
Huo Yu held the steering wheel and looked forward. Xiaotuan, who was in the passenger seat, leaned his little head against the window and looked at the scenery outside the window obediently.
At this moment, Bai Xiaomo's voice suddenly came from the car radio: "Huo Yu, do you feel that the sky seems to be a lot darker."
Huo Yu looked up at the sky. He didn't know whether it was due to the dark clouds or the angle of the light. Today's sky was a bit darker than usual.
He picked up the intercom and replied: "It's a little bit, the days should be over soon."
"Well." Bai Xiaomo's voice became excited, "Summer is over. After one more autumn, can't we go back to China for a vacation?"
Huo Yu was stunned when he heard this.
Indeed, as Bai Xiaomo said, the Arctic environment and climate are even worse in winter. Most scientific research stations will temporarily evacuate at this time, and the icekeepers will also return home for vacation.
Of course, some icekeepers will choose to stay and hold on to some important positions in the winter, and those who take the initiative to stay will have their salaries and merits tripled.
"What are you thinking about? What are you going to do when you return to China? If you have nothing to do, come to Ji Province to play with me."
Huo Yu smiled bitterly and replied: "I may not be able to go back yet."
"Don't go back?" Bai Xiaomo's voice was obviously confused, "You don't lack that salary, why don't you go back? Don't you miss home?"
"I think so, but I still have three little ones here. What will happen to them if I leave?"
"Well... that's true."
In fact, if Huo Yu wants to return to China, he can take all three little guys back with him as long as he greets Xie Jie.
It's just that Huo Yu isn't too worried about the wolves on Langshan Mountain. After all, they are really following him loyally and are still hiding in the distance to protect him at this moment. He can't let them down.
The harsh climate in the Arctic in winter is not only a blow to humans, but also a blow to Arctic wolves.
Arctic wolves cannot hibernate like polar bears. Before winter, they will hunt a large number of animals to increase body fat. They will continue to hunt in winter, but they can only hunt small animals such as snow hares, and their daily activity will be greatly reduced. .
In the past, wolves could migrate south to survive in the permafrost where food resources were more abundant, but this year's wolves obviously have no intention of leaving Langshan.
Huo Yu plans to help the wolves store a large amount of meat before winter, and strive not to let this winter take the life of any Arctic wolf. After all, they are all his important companions.
"Huo Yu, Huo Yu." Bai Xiaomo's call interrupted Huo Yu's thoughts.
"Ah, what's wrong?"
"What are you thinking about? The 249 scientific research station is coming soon."
Huo Yu came back to his senses and looked into the distance.
Sure enough, a white line faintly appeared at the end of the horizon, which was the ice wall outside the 249 scientific research station.
Ice and snow refract light differently, so this ice wall is particularly conspicuous in the snowy snowfield.
Bai Xiaomo also noticed the ice wall at this time and immediately shouted:
"Holy shit, Huo Yu, when did your scientific research station build such a beautiful wall? It's so handsome, how did you do it?"
Huo Yu said casually: "I built this myself."
"Yourself? Do you still have this skill?"
"I know a little about ice sculptures."
Bai Xiaomo still expressed doubts about Huo Yu's words.
It wasn't until the snowmobile and the jeep drove into the scientific research station one after another, and she saw the two ice sculptures located at the entrance of the post, that she was completely convinced.
"Oh my god, you really have this skill, it's so cool!"
Bai Xiaomo jumped out of the car and immediately ran to the two ice sculptures, circling around them and marveling at them.
"Why, are you interested in ice sculptures?" Huo Yu walked up to her and asked.
"Of course, I'm a native of the Northeast." Bai Xiaomo looked at the ice sculptures intently, "In our place, there are various ice sculpture exhibitions in winter, such as ice and snow festivals, ice lantern exhibitions, ice sculpture exhibitions, etc. I go there every year go."
"I grew up watching ice sculptures, and it was because of my love for ice sculptures that I decided to come to the North Pole to be an icekeeper."
"I'll carve one for you when you leave," Huo Yu said casually.
"Really?!" Bai Xiaomo turned his head and said with trembling eyes.
Seeing Bai Xiaomo's excitement, Huo Yu suddenly regretted it.
Wouldn't this girl also let me carve a one-to-one ratio for her?
"Really, really, really go wash your hands and cook." Huo Yu said impatiently and walked towards the backyard with his hands behind his back.
Xiaobu and his whale were left at the scientific research station for a long time, and Huo Yu had to comfort the little guy.
Bai Xiaomo looked at Huo Yu's back, turned his head and looked at the little white bear who was leaning next to him, and asked in a low voice: "What's going on with your dad? Is there a woman hiding in the backyard?"
Xiaotuan held the bear's paw in his mouth and thought for a long time.
Xiaobu is a boy, but the fierce cow seems to be a girl. Rounding it all off, it seems that she is a hidden woman...
Thinking of this, the little guy nodded hesitantly.
Bai Xiaomo paused for a moment, and a wicked smile suddenly appeared on his face.
You are such a thick-browed Huoyu, I have caught your little tail, and you have actually learned to hide women in the backyard.
Bai Xiaomo, who had a sharp mind, selectively forgot that this was in the Arctic, and followed Huo Yu to the backyard in a thief manner.
As soon as he walked to the backyard, Bai Xiaomo saw Huo Yu squatting on the ground with his back to him.
You can vaguely see him holding a slippery thing in his arms, and he is still comforting him.
Bai Xiaomo was shocked and turned pale. He quickly covered his eyes and said with a slightly red face: "Huo Yu, you, you, you... you are in big trouble!"
Huo Yu and Xiao Bu looked at Bai Xiaomo in confusion at the same time.
"What are you doing?"
"Eh?"
Bai Xiaomo covered his eyes: "You, you, you...how dare you do such a thing at the scientific research station!"
"What did I do?"
"Eh?"
"What else are you doing!" Bai Xiaomo's tone gradually rose, "What is that thing you are holding in your arms? It's all white and naked."
"A little white whale."
"Hey."
"Beluga, you are so cowardly that you dare to hide... Beluga at the scientific research station?" Bai Xiaomo took the hand that was blocking his eyes.
Huo Yu in front of her looked at her innocently.
In the fish pond next to Huo Yu, a cute little white whale showed its head and looked at her curiously.
The atmosphere gradually became awkward.
"What are you thinking about?" Huo Yu asked playfully.
"Nothing...what a cute little white whale!" Bai Xiaomo's face turned red and his eyes were starry.
"Hey~ (Thank you, you are so cute, dad's second wife~)"
Huoyu: →_→
The little white whale immediately fell silent.
Bai Xiaomo had long been accustomed to the high intelligence of Huoyu pets, and subconsciously asked: "What did it say?"
"It's too dirty. I can't say it. If I say it, the book will be sealed." Huo Yu made up nonsense.
