Just because of the climate and temperature, he was bound to stay for a long time. How could Yang Gan, who often watched outdoor Qiu Sheng programs, hit the road without any preparation?
This is not his style. After thinking about it, Yang Gan thought of the stupidest way. Even if he didn't have iron tools, he could use stones to make what he needed.
Qingqing was helping Yang Gan grind the coal. According to Yang Gan, the finer the coal, the better the effect. Put a large lump of pulverized coal into a square mold, tamp it down, and then insert the holes one by one according to Yang Gan's instructions. After drying near the stove, take the whole thing out.
In a short while, Qingqing cooked a lot, and then placed it on the shelf, letting the stove next to it dry the briquettes as much as possible.
Yang Gan was right next to him, cutting and polishing the whole stone. The construction was not difficult, for lack of the necessary tools the coal stove could not be made round, but could only be made square.
A hollow stone cuboid and a hollow wooden cuboid. The wooden one is easy to make, but the stone one is more difficult, because a complete stone must be used to carve a place for leakage of slag at the bottom.
Put the stone hollow rectangular object into the wood, fill the gap of about two centimeters in the middle with mud, and after everything is done, a simple coal stove will come out.
The thing is good, but the only drawback is that it is a bit heavy, but there is nothing we can do about it. After all, if they sleep outdoors for a long time without shelter from the wind and rain, they may die in the wild even if their physiques are different from ordinary people.
It's not nonsense to say that the weather is cold and the ground is freezing. Any illness that is minor in normal times can be fatal in this extremely cold climate.
Even though he played poker with Qing Qing every day, Yang Qian never forgot that he had not passed the average age of premature death, so he had to put his own safety first in everything he did.
Don't talk about whether you are in a hurry or not. Yang Qian wants to go out and is more anxious than anyone else. But is there any use in being anxious? If you are eager for quick success and instant gain, you will not be the unlucky one in the end?
As the saying goes, if a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. After the coal stove was built, there were other things that needed to be done. The sled had to be widened and lengthened, and most importantly, it had to be washed with hot water and filled with wild animal carcasses, which was very dirty.
After finishing the sled, Yang Gan began to find some lighter wood to make wooden boards, planning to top the sled and build a semicircular roof.
Ideal is full, the reality is very skinny. Yang Gan greatly overestimated his skills. Watching too many videos on the Internet would give him the illusion that he could do it.
Once I got started, I found that many things were not as easy as imagined. Finally, I used the most old-fashioned method of testing it with fire and bending it. Finally, it was knotted, but it was a little crooked and looked uneven and ugly.
In fact, it doesn’t matter if it’s ugly, but if the board is uneven, there will definitely be air leakage. In the end, Yang Qian had no choice but to break the jar and cut out pieces of wood of corresponding size to block the gaps. This is also a helpless solution. .
After this is done, the last step is to drill a hole and connect it with bamboo to serve as a ventilation pipe. After all, no one wants to be poisoned by carbon monoxide, right?
After the leather was tanned, Yang Gan began to sew tents, wooden frames and other things.
Now that there is no shortage of leather, he extravagantly made the tent into a double layer, and also reserved a vent at the top. If you don't use the coal stove, you can close it, and if you use the coal stove, you can open it. It adopts a button-like design. Of course , buttons are made from animal bones.
The middle of the double-layered tent was stuffed with wool, badger fur and rabbit fur. These furs were not large and would be too troublesome to sew together. When there were too many, Yang Gan shaved off their fur. As for the wool, it was I found it in the sheep pen. After cleaning it and stirring it with charcoal, the smell was basically gone.
By the time everything was ready, almost a week had passed. There was nothing he could do about it. The lack of professional tools made his efficiency horribly low, especially when iron tools had to be used but had to be replaced by stones. Just polishing them took at least all of Yang Gan's labor. 70% of the strength.
Qing Qing is also very busy. Not only does he have to help Yang Gan, he also needs to make a large amount of square briquettes and food.
Many foods need to be minced and then frozen outside. The most critical thing is the production of pots. The previous stone pots were large and had low curvature, which was suitable for making large quantities of food in a fixed place.
Yang Qian has now made two stone pots, both of which are very easy to carry and have deep curvatures suitable for heating food. In this way, the two of them only need to make the food, freeze it, and throw it in directly when they are ready to eat. Just put some snow on it to heat it up.
As for whether the minced meat tastes good and whether the fishy smell is strong, haha, this is no longer something Yang Qian needs to consider. When people are dying, the taste is actually not important.
If someone insists that it tastes bad and can't be eaten, then it's simple. If you starve for two or three days, let alone eat fishy food, even if it's dog poop, you probably won't be able to help but pounce on it.
When everything was ready, Yang Gan suddenly realized that there was basically no chance of living on a sleigh.
The sled was filled with all kinds of daily necessities. I didn't think there would be so many things at first, but once I was ready to go out for a while, I couldn't miss anything.
For example, tents, cooking utensils, coal, salt, weapons, warm items, food, especially briquettes, are naturally not small in size.
After so many things were piled together, half of the remaining space was occupied, and the briquettes were almost all black. If they really lived together, Yang Gan estimated that both of them would be black when they came back.
On this day, the weather was very good. The sun was shining brightly and the temperature had risen slightly. The most important thing was that the wind had stopped. As long as there was no wind, the temperature was still bearable.
Inside the newly built wooden house, the sled was carried quietly, but the wooden house next to it made strange noises. Sometimes, even the wooden house shook a few times. It was obvious that the battle inside was very fierce.
Inside the wooden house, it is as warm as spring, with a primitive smell exuding, which everyone understands. The two of them were lying in the barrel, looking like saints, with no desires or desires.
"Are you leaving today?"
"Well, I'll think about it again, I feel a little tired~~~!" Qingqing said with a flushed face.
"Do you want to be more restrained? I'm afraid it won't be good for your health." The corner of Yang Gan's mouth raised. If he were young, he would definitely refute directly, but as a man of two generations, he has long passed the age of earning face.
"Well, what you said makes sense. Although I feel full of energy, I still have to protect my body." Qing Qing was dumbfounded, but she didn't expect Yang Qian to avoid anything at all.
"I once heard people say that some powerful traveling doctors have some elixirs and medicinal prescriptions in their hands, which can greatly strengthen the body and cultivate the body. They are favored by many kings." Yang Gan tilted his head and laughed like a pig.
Seeing Qingqing's confused face, Yang Gan smiled and said
"No matter what it is, it needs to be controlled. No matter how good you are at strengthening your foundation and cultivating your talents, it is not as important as self-discipline."
"I am born with divine power, and now I am a qigong practitioner. I also have a lot of elixirs to supplement my body. My physical foundation is naturally very deep, so you don't need to worry. Besides, I am not a person who doesn't understand moderation." Qingqing said helplessly.
"If you knew how to control yourself, how could the two of us have broken our skin?" Feeling the bursts of pain in his vital parts, Yang Gan twitched the corner of his mouth. Qing Qing's words hit the nail on the head.
Yang Qian lay down directly on the ground and said
"Anyway, I don't want to move today, so why not wash up quickly and leave early tomorrow morning?"
"I listen to you!" Yang Gan nodded with satisfaction. Qingqing was very quiet everywhere. She was very different from Yang Gan's personality, but the only good thing was that no matter what Yang Gan said, she would only say Yes without saying no.
What man wouldn’t love such a woman? The two of them rested for a long time. At night, Yang Qian said seriously that he was going to have a good rest today. However, when there was no cup of tea, the babbling sound started again.
The next day. Two figures wearing thick clothes walked out of the wooden house, pulled on the sled and walked towards the second circle.
The first circle was relatively small. Qingqing had almost explored it, but there was nothing outstanding about it, and there was no way out.
Speaking of which, I had never heard of such a place in my previous life. Yang Gan felt that it was either a different dimension, or a different world.
Or it's the changing world. No landform can be changed by the power of time, and the most important thing is.
Yang Qian had only been to one or two cities in the north and the capital in his previous life. In such a small amount of time, it was impossible to know where there was such a valley with three circles connected together.
The height difference of hundreds of meters made Yang Qian feel desperate. If there are tools, that's another matter, but now, the only things Yang Gan has are a dragon-slaying knife, a dagger, a five-stone bow and some odds and ends.
There are not even tools for climbing. Yang Gan made a decision. If there was really no way out of the three circles in the end, Yang Gan wouldn't mind using the dragon-slaying knife to cut out steps on the mountain wall.
Yang Qian never felt that a mere valley could trap him. He used to be in poor health, but now that he is well, there is nothing to worry about.
The two of them embarked on a journey without any hesitation, not knowing whether it would have any results. I have to say that from a purely scenic perspective, the scenery here is stunning and breathtaking.
Endless wilderness. A forest covered with silver frost. There is a gurgling stream in the middle of the snow-covered mountain road on both sides, and occasionally one or two groups of animals come to drink water.
The five sleds under the sled struggled hard on the half-meter-deep snow, leaving traces behind.
