Feng Lingyu followed everyone and piled up the cut snow blocks to make a small hemispherical igloo.
She planned to sleep alone at night, she didn't want to stay with Cao Yanfang at night.
Cao Yanfang might have seen through Feng Lingyu's plan, so she tactfully didn't come over. She just built the igloo by herself in silence.
As for the others, the igloos they built were bigger, enough for four or five people to sleep in.
Everyone huddles together, making it warmer to sleep at night.
Feng Lingyu walked around, chopped down some pine branches with a machete, shook off the snow on them, and spread the pine branches inside the igloo.
When the others saw this, they thought it was a good idea and started cutting pine branches as well.
In a short while, six igloos of different sizes had been built, and they looked so cute and ugly.
"Now that the house is ready, everyone should have a good rest after dinner. Tomorrow we will officially start hunting!" After walking such a long way today and building the house non-stop, everyone's faces showed signs of fatigue.
"Okay! I'm really tired today..."
"I have no strength left. Now I just want to lie down and sleep."
“Who isn’t?”
Several young men responded weakly.
Despite the complaints, everyone still built a big fire together.
Feng Lingyu took out his small copper kettle, found a clean place, filled it with snow, and then put it on the fire to boil a pot of hot water.
Looking at the watch, it was already seven o'clock in the evening. Feng Lingyu carried her small copper kettle, said hello to Yang Quan, and went back to her ice house.
The others gathered around the fire, soaking their dry food in hot water.
Back in my own igloo, the small space does not feel oppressive, but instead gives me a great sense of security.
Feng Lingyu hung a piece of windproof cloth on the small entrance and exit, took out the flashlight prepared by Gao Xiaotao, and hung it on the ceiling. The entire ice house instantly became bright.
Feng Lingyu didn't plan to eat the dry food prepared by Xiaotao. There were steaming hot meals and various stewed soups in her space, just in case she couldn't cook outside.
Feng Lingyu took out a moisture-proof mat and a sleeping bag, then slowly lay down and went to sleep.
After hearing that it was completely quiet outside, Feng Lingyu entered the space.
The climate in this space is like spring all year round, and it always remains neither too hot nor too cold.
Feng Lingyu poured himself a glass of watermelon juice and then had a delicious meal in the space.
I have to say that space is really a must-have artifact for home and travel.
With it, I save a lot of effort.
When Feng Lingyu is free, she cooks in the kitchen. The food will never go bad if it is kept in the warehouse.
Now there are no less than a hundred kinds of food piled up in the kitchen warehouse, neatly placed on the table. The scene is comparable to a buffet restaurant. You can just choose whatever you want to eat.
After dinner, Feng Lingyu strolled around the space and then went out to sleep.
This sleeping bag was something she had stored away in an outdoor sports goods store in her previous life. It was lightweight, took up little space, and was very warm.
The moisture-proof mat under me is of very good quality. It feels soft and there is no pain when I sleep on it.
In short, Feng Lingyu didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
The howling mountain wind outside made the woods creak, and with the sound of the wind, she slowly fell asleep.
Feng Lingyu lives here comfortably, just like at home, but it's not easy for others.
Especially the educated youth from the city, they tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
It was better for the male educated youth because they could squeeze together and it wasn't so cold.
Cao Yanfang suffered a lot alone. Her feet were so cold that she almost couldn't feel them while lying in the quilt.
She rubbed her hands together, but it didn't help much.
Although the ground was covered with pine branches, the cold air still penetrated through her mattress and continued to penetrate into her bones.
The entire camp was dark, with only a little light coming from Feng Lingyu's small ice house.
All current flashlights require batteries to be installed before they can be used.
No one would be willing to use a flashlight as a lamp. After all, a pair of batteries not only costs an industrial invoice but also two dollars.
But the light in Feng Lingyu's ice house was always on, which meant that a pair of batteries costing two yuan was nothing to her.
Although Cao Yanfang's mentality has changed, she still couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat under such a strong contrast.
She was the only female educated youth at the educated youth point who came out to suffer this kind of hardship, unlike Feng Lingyu, who seemed to be just out for fun.
But she had to come because her father had just broken his leg not long ago.
The family had no choice but to ask his older brother to take his place at work, but this meant his salary would be greatly reduced.
Cao Yanfang sent all the money she had back home, but it was still not enough.
Dad’s legs must be taken good care of so that he can go back to work as soon as possible.
In desperation, Cao Yanfang had to think of other ideas.
If she followed the villagers to the mountains to hunt, she could get more prey.
Meat is expensive during the Chinese New Year, so if I sell this meat, I can send some money back home...
Thinking of this, Cao Yanfang regained her energy. She comforted herself in her heart that everything would be fine.
Early the next morning, after a night's rest, everyone was full of energy, and yesterday's fatigue had completely disappeared.
Feng Lingyu took all the necessary tools and stood with everyone else.
"We will be divided into three groups, each with ten people. The leading team leader will be a veteran member. The rest of the people will be responsible for vigilance and investigation with me."
Feng Lingyu was assigned to a group by Yang Quan, which consisted of people with strong skills; Cao Yanfang was responsible for vigilance, after all, she was relatively weak.
Yan Wei originally wanted to be grouped together with Feng Lingyu, but was ruthlessly rejected by Yang Quan.
The reason is that the people in Group 1 are strong and they don't need him to hold them back.
When Yan Wei heard this reason, his face turned green and it caused a lot of laughter.
Yang Quan moved quickly in the snow, stopping from time to time to analyze the ground conditions.
"Humans have their own ways, and animals have their own paths. As long as you find the path that the animal must take, set a trap and wait for it."
Seeing that Feng Lingyu was very serious, Yang Quan explained to her.
"Or we can find the food they want to eat and ambush them." Yang Quan pointed to a green tip sticking out of the snow. "Here, this is it. Dig it up. The tubers underneath are the favorite food of wild boars."
Soon, several people began to dig a trap nearby. The ground was frozen hard in winter, making the pit very difficult to dig.
If you don't have enough strength, it is possible that the ground will not move at all after you dig it out with a shovel.
This is also the reason why Yang Jianguo did not allow female comrades to go with him, because female comrades generally have less strength and it would be of little use for them to go up the mountain.
More than half an hour later, three hunting pits had taken shape.
