Chapter 206 Extreme Cooling 2
Xia Xiaoman didn't know whether she had pulmonary hemorrhage or just a common cold and cough. After taking medicine for a few days and drinking three or four pots of ginger water, she didn't know which one worked, but her cough gradually got better.
After recovering from his illness, Xia Xiaoman started daily training again, training himself and Maodan.
The three-month-old Maodan was already as tall as her calf. Of course, that was because she was short. If it was a tall person, Maodan would only reach the height of someone else's calf.
It’s time for the three-month-old wolf cub to learn some hunting skills.
Xia Xiaoman caught a rabbit from the basement and threw it into the living room for Maodan to catch. Maodan learned it by himself and bit the rabbit to death in less than ten minutes. He wanted to eat the rabbit meat but was stopped by Xia Xiaoman.
It is said that eating raw meat with blood in it will arouse the wildness of wild animals. Xia Xiaoman did not want Maodan to eat raw meat so soon, fearing that Maodan would become wild and disobey his master.
After Maodan caught three rabbits, Xia Xiaoman finally realized what the problem was.
The rabbits she caught had been kept in cages since birth, and they had no idea how to escape when faced with danger. No wonder Maodan could catch rabbits so easily.
After thinking for a long time, he decided to catch a few steel-toothed rabbits to train Maodan in hunting skills.
She took out the rabbit's internal organs and froze them into ice cubes. She then tied them to an iron wire and threw them out of the wall from the second-floor balcony. When she felt something gnawing on the rabbit's internal organs, she suddenly pulled up the iron wire.
The Steel-Tooth Rabbit realized something was wrong and when he loosened his teeth, he had already been pulled into the yard.
Xia Xiaoman used the same method to lure the steel-toothed rabbit that fell into the yard into the room.
When Maodan saw the steel-toothed rabbit suddenly appear, he immediately pounced on it and caught it. As its nature demanded, the steel-toothed rabbit smelled Maodan's scent and subconsciously ran to the corner.
Maodan had been trained by Xia Xiaoman for so long that his speed was faster than that of an average wild wolf, but it was still slightly inferior to that of the steel-toothed rabbit.
The two little ones chased each other and went around in the living room, knocking over the training ground Xia Xiaoman had specially made for Maodan. But Xia Xiaoman did not let Maodan stop, but instead stood guard at the stairs to prevent the steel-toothed rabbit from running upstairs and escaping.
After chasing for nearly an hour, Maodan was obviously about to collapse, so Xia Xiaoman stepped in to help, using food to lure the Steel-Tooth Rabbit to slow down its escape.
Maodan caught up with the steel-toothed rabbit and bit it to death. After biting it to death, he was still not satisfied and took the rabbit's head and shook it several times, making a dangerous whining sound from his throat.
"Okay, you can't even handle a little rabbit, and you still have the nerve to lose your temper here."
Maodan didn't know whether he understood what Xia Xiaoman said. He lay on the ground and hummed in grievance, looking at Xia Xiaoman with a pitiful look from time to time.
Suddenly, Maodan stood up, hunched his body and bared his teeth towards the gate.
Seeing this, Xia Xiaoman patted Maodan's head and said, "Stay at home, I'll go out for a look." As she said that, she put on her coat, hat and mask, wrapping herself tightly before walking out the door.
Outside the yard, a man in uniform stood straight with a flashlight. Xia Xiaoman climbed up the wall and asked, "What's the matter?"
The man looked at Xia Xiaoman and asked, "Are you alone at home?"
Xia Xiaoman frowned, "If you have something to say, please tell me. If not, I will go back first."
When the man saw Xia Xiaoman was about to leave, he quickly said, "It's like this. Recently, a group of people have been robbing nearby. Now that the weather is cold, there are not many people patrolling. The superiors are worried that people living outside the sewers will be in danger, so they sent us to warn those living outside and send a distress signal flare to each of your households."
"If you are in danger, you can use a flare to notify us. Flares are disposable items, so don't use them casually after you get them."
Xia Xiaoman was puzzled. "It's so cold outside. Those robbers are running around. Aren't they afraid of lung hemorrhage?"
The other party explained: "Those people got a batch of polar cold-proof clothing and respirators from somewhere, and they dared to rob everywhere just because they had these two things."
Xia Xiaoman's eyes lit up when she heard this. She was not very interested in the respirator. If she wanted, she could use the respirator of the diving equipment. But she was very interested in the polar cold-proof clothing. If she put on the rabbit fur coat and the polar cold-proof clothing, even a blizzard would not be able to do anything to her.
"Hey, this is a distress flare." The man held up the flare and wanted Xia Xiaoman to go over and get it.
"Are the flares free?" Xia Xiaoman asked.
The other party nodded and said, "It's free, but it's a disposable item. Even if it's free, you can't use it carelessly."
Xia Xiaoman said, "Just throw it over here! I'm too lazy to go get it."
The other party was stunned for a moment when he heard this, thought about it, and then raised his hand and threw the flare over as Xia Xiaoman said.
Xia Xiaoman took the flare, said thank you, jumped off the wall and returned to the living room.
Taking off her coat and gloves, Xia Xiaoman picked up the flare and tried to put it into the space. As soon as she picked it up, she felt that it didn't feel right, the flare was too light.
After thinking about it, she took the flare apart. The chemical powder inside was gone, leaving only an empty shell.
Xia Xiaoman narrowed her eyes. If the soldier said that he had taken the wrong flare, she would not believe it. She had only used flares once or twice, and she could tell something was wrong when she took it. How could the soldier, who had been using flares for years, not notice anything?
Thinking of the questions and attitude of the "soldier" just now, Xia Xiaoman immediately stood up, put on his clothes, put on a thick mask, and went to the yard to set a trap.
Fearing that he might get pulmonary hemorrhage, Xia Xiaoman did not dare to stay outside for long. He just set two traps at the door and returned.
Maodan didn't know that danger was approaching, and he heartlessly continued to hold the steel-toothed rabbit's corpse in his mouth and bite it to vent his anger. However, because he was scolded by Xia Xiaoman, he didn't dare to eat the steel-toothed rabbit and only bit the rabbit's fur.
After Xia Xiaoman set the trap, he stayed quietly at home, waiting for the "guests" to come.
However, after waiting for five or six days, no one came. Xia Xiaoman couldn't help but wonder if she was overthinking it, or if someone really just gave her a used flare by mistake.
Just when Xia Xiaoman was about to let down his guard, the long-awaited 'guest' finally arrived.
At about 2 a.m., Maodan jumped up onto the heated kang and danced on Xia Xiaoman's stomach. Xia Xiaoman almost vomited her dinner when she was stepped on by him.
When Maodan saw her wake up, he stared outside with fierce eyes, his sharp teeth exposed, ready to bite the enemy at any time.
When Xia Xiaoman saw its expression of preparation for hunting, he knew someone was coming, so he immediately put on his clothes and hat, and quietly went upstairs with Maodan.
I opened the window on the second floor and saw seven or eight people outside the wall slowly approaching it. One person was acting as a ladder under the wall, and the other climbed up the wall by stepping on the other person...
