Chapter 43 Chapter 43 You really can fly a helicopter
The wooden house was buried in snow, and a small part of it collapsed, leaving a sloping snow slope.
All the doors and windows were sealed, and all that could be heard was He Junzhuo shouting for help from inside.
Baobao chirped along with his rhythm, as if they were performing a duet.
The sound was muffled and it was hard to tell where it came from.
Seeing that Ye Xuan and the others were about to circle the back of the house, Yun Ti raised her hand and knocked on the thick snow in front of her, "Here."
The snow is compacted and the temperature outside is low, so it will probably solidify in a few hours.
In this way, nature's magic knife creates a purely natural wooden house ice sculpture without any effort.
He hit the window glass a few times with a saber, leaving a small hole in it.
A pair of obscene eyes suddenly came over, "Sister Ti! Is that you, Sister Ti?"
"Ahhhhhh I knew you would come back to save us!"
"You! Are my God!"
He Junzhuo speaks as loudly as ten other people.
Su Jian and others in the room couldn't get a word in.
"Shut up." Yun Ti's face was full of black lines, and she said impatiently, "If you keep making noise, I'll leave now."
Then, Baobao and Xiaohei climbed to the window and stared at her with burning eyes.
"Hehe, no," He Junzhuo put on a smile and touched Baobao's head, "You two children are still in my hands."
…
Several people outside worked together, and the little snow leopard paddled hard in front of the door. In less than five minutes, they cleared the door and several windows.
The air circulated again, and He Junzhuo squatted down and took deep breaths, saying exaggeratedly that if it was a few minutes later they would have suffocated to death.
There is a certain element of acting.
However, the wooden house, which was covered with snow, was as dark as night. When people were nervous, their breathing became more rapid, like a closed container, which continuously extracted the oxygen inside until it became a vacuum.
But fortunately, they all know that they have trustworthy partners.
As long as the people outside are still alive, we will definitely come back to rescue them.
As the snow outside the house was cleared, it began to darken.
The switches of the chandelier and wall lamp were out of order, so Su Jian lit a few kerosene lamps and the room was bright again.
Everyone entered the house one after another.
Yun Ti walked at the end, put her hand on the door handle, and was about to close it when she suddenly turned her head.
The little snow leopard who had been observing her silently was caught red-handed. He gurgled in his throat, and a hint of loneliness appeared in his round gray-blue eyes.
It curled up its tail dejectedly and walked out.
His right hind leg was injured at some point, and he was limping, with his chubby butt shaking as well.
Yun Ti opened the door and asked, "Do you want to come in?"
-
It was the first time for Baobao and Xiaohei to see a species like a snow leopard. They hid in the corner of the bed and didn't dare to get close.
But they were afraid that their mother would be snatched away, so the monkey and the snake stared at it intently, their eyes fixed on it: "I will spy on you forever, forever and ever!"
The little snow leopard didn't take the threat from the two of them seriously at all, and even stepped on Yunti's legs.
Its right calf was slightly fractured, and it didn't let Su Jian touch it, so Yun Ti could only wrap a bandage around it under Su Jian's guidance.
If things go well, I'll be back tomorrow.
Originally, Yun Ti didn't intend to let it into the house. It was not a good thing for wild animals to be too close to humans. Whether it was the little snow leopard or Baobao and Xiaohei, she should not interfere with their life trajectories.
Moreover, they will eventually separate, which is a common occurrence in nature - being born without a father, being separated from the mother in sub-adulthood, watching other species grow old, get sick and die with a cold eye, and giving birth to offspring after having sex with a one-night stand, and this kind of life continues for generations.
Things that we have long been accustomed to seem a little difficult to accept after becoming a human.
The cabin's electrical wiring short-circuited and the generator was crushed by the snow.
By the dim fire, everyone chatted and talked about everything, not feeling the hardship at all.
Yunti sat quietly.
She has always been a ruthless person who doesn't talk much, so other people didn't notice anything was wrong.
Li Xingyan inexplicably felt that Yun Ti was in a bad mood.
Seeing her eyes occasionally on Baobao and Xiaohei, and her hands gently stroking the little snow leopard who was snoring with comfort, Li Xingyan decided to say something happy.
"Titi, if you're worried about Baobao and Xiaohei, I have a way to take them away."
He tilted his head slightly, leaned close to Yunti's ear, and said in a voice that only they could hear: "Last time at the transit station, I contacted my father. He said that we can apply for a domestication license across borders, and the mountain behind our house is very big..."
It turned out that he had thought of all this at that time and wanted to keep Baobao and Xiaohei for her.
"Raising a wild snow leopard cub might be a little complicated, but don't worry, it shouldn't be a big deal..."
Li Xingyan was daydreaming to himself.
The warm yellow candlelight flickered in his wet eyes.
"It's wrong to raise wild animals privately." Yun Ti replied calmly.
Li Xingyan immediately shut up, a look of helplessness and regret flashed across his face, "I'm sorry, then, then..."
As a member of the privileged class, he only thought about whether Yunti was happy or not, and then thought about whether the law allowed it, and rarely considered the wishes of being kept as a "pet".
But this is not only his fault, but also due to the environment he grew up in.
His lips moved a few times, but he was powerless to argue. Li Xingyan hung his head.
He'd screwed up again. Titi would think he was some dandy kid who was making fun of animal protection.
Just like the most common type of people in their circle.
"However, if wild animals insist on following humans," Yun Ti supported her chin with one hand and looked back at him, "it seems there is nothing we can do."
"Li Xingyan, thank you." She said with a smile.
Covering his pounding heart, Li Xingyan nodded subconsciously, then suddenly shook his head, his ears turning red.
-
The night was not peaceful.
One room in the wooden house collapsed, and there was a fear that the nearest room would be affected, so the two surviving beds had to be placed in the safest small hall.
Everyone lay together in rows like they were sleeping on a big kang.
There is no floor heating, the damaged areas leak air, and the crowded places easily generate heat.
The fluctuating temperature, coupled with the rumbling sound of snow breaking outside the house, surrounded me all night long like a stereo sound.
Except for the little snow leopard lying under the bed and sleeping soundly, everyone was worried that another avalanche would happen.
Before daybreak, everyone, despite being exhausted, decided to go out to find the helicopter and to seek an explanation from the staff.
I have been in the snow-capped mountains for nearly ten days. How long will this "exile" last?
Moreover, looking at the weather, it seems that there will be snow and wind again.
If we don't leave in the near future, unknown risks may increase sharply.
But what Yunti and Banlie did not expect was that when they arrived at the helicopter parking location, the cabin door was wide open and there was no one inside.
The cabin was a bit messy, with two unfinished buckets of instant noodles placed on the table, but there was no smell, and the temperature inside was not much different from that outside.
This means that the person has been away from here for at least ten hours.
Yun Ti walked from the front to the tail of the plane and found several plum blossom footprints under the seats.
When she looked up, the little snow leopard lying on its back howled at her a few times, sounding cheerful and happy: "Mom! It's my mom who's here!"
The next second, the heater in the cabin turned on and the roar of the machine slowly sounded.
The frightened little snow leopard suddenly raised its tail, its pupils shrank into two slits, and its throat rolled in a low growl.
"Oh no, Brother Yan? You really can fly a helicopter!" He Junzhuo, who had just climbed onto the co-pilot seat, widened his eyes in disbelief.
Li Xingyan obtained a private helicopter pilot license as soon as he became an adult.
I was just curious and went into the cockpit to take a look, but I found that the model of this helicopter was the one I was good at, and there was even the same model on his helipad.
Hearing this, the others were shocked.
The life of rich people is truly simple and unpretentious.
But... there is a ready-made driver here, so what are you waiting for? Just drive away!
Anyway, there is no need to apply for flight routes in advance for a deserted island, so let them teach the program team a lesson!
The group was ready to go and full of fighting spirit.
Finally, he had something to show for his skills. Li Xingyan was so proud of himself, but in order not to appear too complacent in front of Ti Ti, he tried hard to suppress the upturned corners of his mouth and turned to ask Yun Ti first: "Ti Ti, do you want to leave?"
Holding the fur-ruffled little snow leopard, Yun Ti hesitated for a few seconds and said, "The two staff members are missing. It might be related to the snow leopard's mother."
＊
I don’t know whether it was to save the “hateful” staff or to help the little snow leopard find its mother, or maybe both.
The group immediately reached a consensus and split into three groups.
Yun Ti, Ban Lie, Ming Jiaojiao, Ma Yuming and the little snow leopard go to find their mother, while Ye Xuan, Cui Da, Su Jian and Kangzi go to look for the missing Fatty and Skinny.
Li Xingyan, He Junzhuo, Baobao and Xiaohei stayed in the helicopter. If anything special happened to other people, they would use the wristbands to locate them and go to pick them up.
Everyone except Li Xingyan was satisfied with this task assignment.
Young Master Li, whose mouth is so flat that you could hang a bottle of oil on it: If I had known, I wouldn't have said I could fly a helicopter. You made me talk too much! You made me show off! I really won't pretend anymore!!!
After watching them walk out of the cabin, Li Xingyan sighed heavily: "...I can't help Titi anymore."
There was no need for a helicopter to rescue people. He even suspected that Ti Ti made this allocation just to avoid the burden of him.
"Brother Yan, if you're worried about being bored, you can take me for a flight. I've never been on a helicopter before."
He Junzhuo picked up the tablet at hand and opened it happily, "Damn! It's out of battery!"
As if he was addicted to the Internet, he turned sideways and searched for the data cable.
Unaware that a figure appeared outside the plane window on the other side.
Yun Ti gripped the single lifting point and looked down at Li Xingyan in the driver's seat. She said calmly, "I believe you can complete this task, right?"
Seeing him nod blankly.
She quickly jumped down and turned to leave.
Only Li Xingyan was left with a flushed face, savoring the memory over and over again, feeling continuously excited.
-
The fat guy and the thin guy left no clues. Their footsteps, deep and shallow, disappeared after reaching a piece of frozen soil.
Also disappearing was the set of plum blossom footprints.
Yunti tore the dried yak meat into thin strips and placed them on the snow.
The little snow leopard flared its nostrils. After eating, its pink tongue licked the tip of its nose quickly, and it ran towards the cliff with its long fluffy tail wagging.
Snow leopards are good at climbing. Steep rock walls look like flat ground to them. The criss-crossing gray rock cracks are similar in color to their fur, forming a natural illusion.
The little snow leopard leaped with ease, digging into the protruding rock edges with its four claws, and danced like a knife, gracefully and calmly jumping into the crack of the rugged rock wall and quickly disappeared.
The playful little guy has not forgotten his home. After "running away" for a day, he finally remembered to go home to find his mother.
Compared with the calm Yun Ti and Ban Lie, Ming Jiaojiao and Ma Yuming narrowed their eyes in fear.
“It’s so scary…”
The nearly 90-degree cliff looked like there was no place to stand. There was floating snow and icicles sticking up like jagged teeth on the ridges. If you accidentally rolled down...
"Little Snow Leopard's skills should be up to par..." Ming Jiaojiao's heart was in a knot, and she wanted to see but didn't dare to.
"It's as it should be," Ma Yuming said, his face pale, but he was still trying to comfort others, "After all, I've been learning from Leopard Mother for so long, nothing will happen."
Yun Ti and Ban Lie looked at each other without saying anything.
Although in the eyes of humans, monkeys can climb trees, leopards can climb rocks, mice can dig holes...animals seem to be born with these skills.
But they know that it is a long and arduous journey from birth to mastering these survival skills. Countless cubs die in the wild, and even after they grow up, there is no guarantee that they will not make mistakes and get injured.
Soon, the little snow leopard emerged from the crevice of the rock, howling at the top of its lungs.
"Mom's not here!"
Yunti gestured to it to stay at home and wait for its mother leopard to come home.
I don't know if he understood it or not. The little guy tilted his head and paused for a long time, then crawled into the crevice of the rock.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, the little snow leopard swooped down onto the ice rock like lightning, holding a pika in its mouth.
It seems that he wanted to give this as a farewell gift to the guests who came to visit.
The first few steps were still taken confidently and calmly, but perhaps because the prey in its mouth blocked its vision, the little guy was obviously not used to carrying the same weight as its mother, and its feet slipped several times.
But it still held the pika tightly in its mouth.
The last jump.
The little snow leopard's whole body was in the air, hanging on the cliff for half a second, and its front paws firmly grasped the ice crack.
Yun Ti's pupils suddenly shrank under the strong light.
Water is seeping from that crack in the rock.
Before the little snow leopard could react, the ice under its palm suddenly broke.
The little snow leopard and the pika in its mouth split into two gray-white fur balls and fell off the cliff together with the collapsed ice debris.
"ah--"
Ming Jiaojiao's scream pierced the sky.
