The rabbits left for the wolf cubs were those that had been badly bitten by the wolves. Even if you kept these rabbits, you would still have to cut off a lot of meat when you ate them, so it was better to leave them for the wolf cubs.
The wolves left behind a considerable amount of winter supplies, far exceeding the total amount Zhong Wanwan and her group collected during their recent hunting trip.
With this meat, although it was a pity that she didn't find the tiger and bear family, Zhong Wanwan was still satisfied.
The carts we brought were piled up like small mountains, and everyone was having a hard time pushing them.
With so much meat, everyone was full of energy and looked incredibly happy as they descended the mountain.
Because the route down the mountain from the Wolf Cave side is a completely new mountain path with thick snow, everyone is walking very slowly.
Because Zhong Wanwan was the only female comrade, although she had recently gained the reputation of being a female Zhang Fei, it was not appropriate to ask Zhong Wanwan for help among so many young and strong men.
Therefore, Zhong Wanwan, traveling light, took the lead and walked at the very front.
Zhong Wanwan was in a good mood, enjoying the beautiful scenery in the mountains, and casually swaying the big trees covered with frost.
Looking again at the trees ahead, all covered in frost, he exclaimed:
"I've never seen such a beautiful rime ice spectacle before, it's so gorgeous!"
Director Wei, Wang Erlaizi, and Zhang Liuzhi's cart were in the first position. He smiled and echoed:
"Don't even mention it! Our farm is so beautiful, it's rare to see such a large expanse of rime ice!"
"I reckon this area isn't far from the river, otherwise there wouldn't be such a spectacle."
Director Wei has a lot of life experience and knows that only in places near the river with sufficient moisture can there be such thick and large areas of rime ice.
In her modern days, Zhong Wanwan had visited the rime ice in a neighboring province and listened to the tour guide explain how rime ice is formed.
So Zhong Wanwan was even more puzzled. Logically speaking, given the temperature on the farm at this time, even if there was a river, the water vapor shouldn't be able to rise to such a large amount of rime.
Unless there are hot springs nearby, it is impossible for water vapor to rise and form large areas of rime ice.
Hot springs! Rising steam! Frost flowers!
Ah, Zhong Wanwan remembered. She recalled that when she was reading the book, she had complained that the female lead was uncultured.
There are rime ice flowers, and it's a farm in Heilongjiang Province, so there must be hot springs nearby. Why didn't she look for them?
Later, she even tried to figure it out herself, thinking that maybe the author just wrote it casually and didn't have any knowledge in this area.
So, so the tiger and the bear family fought around here?
Ah, ah, ah, isn't this like finding something you've been searching for but couldn't find anywhere, and then having it come to you without any effort at all!
Zhong Wanwan looked around with bright eyes, and pricked up her ears to carefully distinguish the sounds around her.
She remembered that the book described how the tiger and the bear family fought all night, and both were badly injured, but neither of them died immediately.
The beasts howled for a long time before finally dying one after another, unwilling to accept their fate.
After listening for a long time without hearing the sound of wild animals, Zhong Wanwan tried the same trick again, finding a large tree nearby and climbing up it.
Qiu Zean looked at Zhong Wanwan, who had climbed the tree again, and felt quite helpless. He wondered if this Master Zhong had developed a fondness for climbing trees after trying to escape wolves. Why did she keep climbing trees whenever she came?
Wang Erlaizi, seeing Zhong Wanwan had climbed the tree at night, asked with great curiosity:
"Master Zhong, what are you doing up the tree? Do the wolves have other places to hide wild game?"
Zhong Wanwan made an excuse:
"No, I saw that the rime ice was so big, so I guessed there must be a hot spring nearby, and I wanted to take a look."
Qiu Zean then realized why Zhong Wanwan had climbed the tree that night, and he was somewhat impressed by her erudition.
No wonder Master Zhong is so good at repairing tractors; he's so knowledgeable that he can even think of hot springs when he sees rime ice!
As expected, climbing the tree was useful. Zhong Wanwan looked around and saw not only a small hot spring, but also several small snow mounds not far from her.
One of the snow mounds had a faint yellow tinge, and Zhong Wanwan guessed that it must be the dead tiger.
Zhong Wanwan was overjoyed. She looked at her companions under the tree and pretended to be surprised:
"Huh, that's strange. Why are those snow mounds over there turning yellow? Um, there are four snow mounds, numbered 1, 2, 3, and 4. I wonder what's underneath them!"
