Meng Fei was stunned. Seeing that the Second Master looked serious, he knew that frostbite was no trivial matter, so he hurried out of the house.
At this time, Meng Fei's hands had indeed lost all feeling. He could only feel a tingling sensation, as if ants were crawling on them. Even if he touched something, he could not feel anything.
"You little bastard! Put on a coat! If your hands aren't healed yet, you'll get frozen and pee!" The second master scolded angrily.
Meng Fei smiled awkwardly, hurried back to the house, put on a coat, and then went out.
After going out, Meng Fei squatted down, grabbed a handful of snow, put his hands together and rubbed it continuously.
As he continued to rub, Meng Fei felt more and more depressed, because even if he put his hand into the snow, he could not feel the slightest bit of coldness, but still felt tingling and numb, and his whole hand began to turn white with a faint purple tint inside.
Meng Fei was shocked and didn't dare to delay any longer. He quickly grabbed another handful and rubbed his hands hard.
Finally, under Meng Fei's constant rubbing, he suddenly felt a warm current coming from the palms of his hands. Looking down, he saw that his palms, which had been frozen white and purple, began to gradually regain their color.
Meng Fei finally felt relieved.
After rubbing his hands for a while and feeling that they had regained consciousness, Meng Fei returned to the house.
At this time, Second Uncle was lying naked on the kang, with only a pair of shorts on his body, and Second Uncle was rubbing a handful of snow on him.
Seeing Meng Fei coming in, the Second Master immediately told Meng Fei:
"Gouzi! Come here and listen to me. You still have a long life ahead of you. If you encounter a frozen situation like your second uncle in the future, you must not rub it with hot or warm water. You must rub it with snow. I heard that a few years ago, a young man in Sujiatun was frostbitten. His family didn't know about it, so they used warm water to wipe his body. Guess what happened, the young man didn't even make it through the middle of the night and died."
Meng Fei nodded to indicate that he remembered it.
In fact, his grandfather had told him about this treatment method once a few years ago, but he was curious so he searched it on his mobile phone. This treatment method is actually to activate the body's own protection mechanism through local low temperature stimulation, so as to promote blood circulation and increase body temperature.
People who have tried winter swimming should have the most experience. When you first get into the water, you may feel freezing cold, but as time goes by, the body's passive protection mechanism will be activated, the body's blood circulation will increase rapidly, and a large amount of heat will be generated.
Meng Fei had seen some winter swimming when he passed by Harbin a few years ago. He even went up to touch an old man. The old man had just come out of the water, his whole body was burning hot, and he was emitting heat, like a Super Saiyan.
At this time, the second master had finished rubbing the second uncle's last arm, and the skin on the second uncle's body gradually regained its color and even became hot.
"Okay, the second brother should be fine. Cover him with the quilt and have a good sleep. He will be fine tomorrow. Stew an old hen for him to nourish his body in the next few days. Hunting is not allowed now, so how about stewing a whole flying dragon into soup. I guarantee he will be full of life in two days. Oh! By the way, Gouzi, I was in a hurry just now and didn’t have time to ask you, what did your second uncle encounter in the mountains?" Second Master suddenly thought of something and asked.
"My second uncle was blocked by two mountain catfishes. When I went there, my second uncle had already killed one and the other one seriously injured my second uncle. Fortunately, I arrived in time, otherwise my second uncle would have been eaten by those beasts."
"What!!! Damn it!! This beast!! He actually started to think about eating people when the mountain was blocked by snow!! If this happened fifty years ago, I would have just taken a gun and killed him in one fell swoop!" Erye spat and cursed.
"Okay, as long as the second one is okay, I'm going back too. It's getting dark and I haven't fed the goose yet."
After saying that, the second master put on his cotton jacket and prepared to go home.
Just as the second master was about to leave, Meng Fei's backpack suddenly shook and fell off the kang to the ground.
The Second Master and Second Aunt were shocked.
"Dog! What's in your bag?!" Second Aunt exclaimed.
As the backpack continued to flip, the zipper was pushed open and a furry little head popped out from inside.
"Cat? Kitten? Where did you get the kitten from, Gouzi?" Second Aunt asked in surprise.
"White fur and black stripes... drooping eyes... this!!! This is a raccoon cub!" The Second Master exclaimed.
"Dog!! Why did you bring this thing back!! This thing is much wilder than your two Siberian tigers, vicious and cruel, and it holds grudges, you..." Erye stopped talking halfway.
"These two cubs are the cubs of the two raccoons that hurt my second uncle. The female one died and the male one ran away. These two little guys look only one month old and they haven't been weaned yet. I thought if I don't take care of them, they will freeze to death. So I brought them back and threw them to the snow leopard and the white tiger to take care of them. While they are still young, they will be well disciplined. They should be fine." Meng Fei picked up the two little guys in his hands. The two grinning little guys immediately became obedient and looked at the second uncle and the second aunt with a wronged look on their faces.
"Well, with your beasts watching over them, these two little guys can't cause any trouble. Okay, I'm going back now."
Meng Fei was worried, so he put the two little lynxes into his backpack and ran out to follow them.
Seeing Meng Fei following, Erye lit a cigarette and stood there waiting for him.
"You kid, it's just a few steps, what else do you want to send?"
"Hehe, I'm worried about you now that it's getting dark, so I'll just send the two little guys back. Alas... I don't know when this heavy snow will stop." Meng Fei looked up at the dark night full of snow and said.
"Oh...I was probably right. This year is going to be a really cold winter. What do you think we're going to do this winter?" A trace of worry flashed across the Second Master's eyes, and his brows were knitted together.
"Oh, it's alright, Second Master. If you're bored, just come to my house. I have chickens, ducks, geese, dogs, and cats. It's lively. Oh, and you don't have to worry about food. The vegetables in my vegetable cellar are enough for the four of us to eat for the whole winter. I also have a refrigerator full of meat. The rescue station will send supplies in a few days, and I'll ask them to send more then."
Hearing Meng Fei's words, Erye breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, Erye suddenly thought of something.
"Hey! When you mentioned the refrigerator, I remembered, how is your ice cicada? Did it turn into a butterfly? In the story, the ice cicada turns into a butterfly when it snows."
"I've been busy these days and didn't pay attention. Now that you said that, I really have to take a good look tomorrow. I can't do it tonight. I'm worried about Second Aunt being alone, so I'll go and accompany Second Uncle."
"Okay, you are thoughtful. Go ahead. You are already at the door. Don't see me off." The Second Master patted Meng Fei's shoulder and said with a smile.
"Okay, then you should go to bed early too."
After sending Erye home, Meng Fei returned home with his backpack, went straight to the backyard, and pushed open Baihu's door.
