Chapter 609
The snowstorm was getting bigger and bigger, and it didn't take long for several people to be covered with a thick layer.
The sudden drop in temperature was also affected by the exhaled water vapor, and ice ridges hung on the stubble, eyebrows and hair.
The six of them didn't dare to slack off in the slightest. At this moment, the warm hunting clothes they were wearing didn't seem to have any effect, and the biting chill kept drilling into their bodies, like needles.
When the snow house was built to a height of more than one meter, it became difficult for everyone to roll snow balls outside to build the snow house. Lu Lu, Zhao Yongke and Liang Kangbo entered first, and Chen Xiuqing, Zhang Shaofeng and Lei Meng sent them rolling snowballs and piled them up for the three of them.
It took more than half an hour, and the igloo gradually gathered into the shape of a yurt, leaving only a ventilation opening with a diameter of about [-] centimeters on the top, which was blocked with a few snowballs, leaving a gap as a ventilation opening.
At the foot of the igloo, there was also a small door opening, just enough for one person to squat down and get in and out.
Things have been busy so far, and the snow house is considered complete. Several people set up in the tent, and moved in the birch bark, ulagrass and mattresses, and of course the guns and the wooden blocks that are enough to burn overnight. .
Several dogs and Bai Yu were also brought in by Lu Lu. Yuan Bao and the others seemed to be frightened by the snowstorm. After getting into the igloo, they lay down on the side and did not move.
When Lu Lu finally came in, he rolled a big snowball and blocked the entrance.
At this point, the wind and snow outside were finally cut off.
Several people breathed a sigh of relief.
Spread the birch bark on the ground again, and then spread the Ula grass and their respective mattresses on the birch bark. Chen Xiuqing and Zhang Shaofeng immediately took off the roe deer skin gloves that had been soaked in a lot of snow and got wet, and stretched out The hands that seem to be unconscious and somewhat incessant are warming up next to the wooden pier.
Seeing this, Lu Lu hurriedly yelled to stop: "You can't warm up like that, it's too hasty, and you'll hurt your hands."
"Rub it with snow, rub your hands vigorously until your hands feel warm!" Zhao Yongke also said beside him.
The snow in the roe deer leather gloves was melted by the body temperature and became damp, and soon lost the temperature, and the fingers became useless. At this time, if you immediately ran to the fire, it would be like experiencing a severe "expansion of heat and contraction of cold" , not only will the hands not warm up quickly, but it will become itchy and unbearable, and it is easy to get arthritis, and in severe cases, the muscles will die.
Lu Lu's hands were also unbearably cold, he gritted his teeth, grabbed a handful of snow, and rubbed vigorously on his hands.
Seeing that Lei Meng and others did the same thing, Zhang Shaofeng and Chen Xiuqing hurriedly followed suit.
After rubbing for three or four minutes, they felt that they had regained control over their hands. They dried their hands with cotton cloths and stuffed them under their armpits to cover them.
"When I first moved to Yan's Nest Island with the army, I didn't know the situation in the wilderness. I took a washbasin to wash clothes in the small ditch in front of the station. Before we came, there had just been a snowfall.
There is a layer of crystal clear thin ice on the ditch, and the water under the thin ice is still flowing happily.You also know that I am not from here, and I don’t know how to be powerful, so I picked up a wooden stick and beat the ice surface, and then put the clothes into the hole that was knocked out.
At this time, the thin ice above was frozen again, and my two hands were fixed under the ice. The clothes I held in my hands were about to float away under the impact of the running water. No matter how hard I tried, my hands couldn’t move . "
What happened today reminded Raymond of the past, and he smiled wryly: "I was so anxious that I yelled loudly, and a deputy platoon leader who came over heard the sound and stepped on the ice with his big-toed shoes, and finally put my pair of shoes on the ice. The red, swollen and stiff hands and clothes were pulled out of the ice hole in minutes. He also grabbed a lot of snow and rubbed it vigorously on my hand like today, so that the hand slowly regained consciousness. .
From then on, I realized that I couldn’t wash clothes in the river in the winter in the Great Wilderness. "
Several people laughed when they heard it.
In fact, Zhang Shaofeng and Chen Xiuqing, two natives, didn't know. They just didn't think it was serious enough, so they didn't take it too seriously.
However, Lu Lu is different, he is afraid of such "not taking it to heart".
"We are all playing with guns, we need to protect our hands, don't be careless!" Lu Lu warned.
How can you use a gun or hunt when your hand is injured?
This is indeed a problem that has to be taken care of.
Zhao Yongke wiped his hands dry, turned the roe-skin gloves inside out, put them on the side of the wooden pier and roasted them: "When I was on the mountain, I also knew a tribe member who went to dig out the Xiongcang. He was scratched by the blind Xiongzi. The clothes I put on, I managed to escape back, and my back was frostbitten, and it was treated by rubbing snow at that time."
With Xue Kexue, if there are no other conditions, it is an excellent method.
At this point, some people think that the temperature of the snow is very low, the local temperature recovers slowly when rubbing, and the frozen tissue melts slowly, which will cause the blood vessels in the frostbite area to expand and congest, the permeability of the blood vessel walls will increase, the blood plasma will ooze and edema, and the blood will become swollen. Viscous, slow blood flow, easy to form thrombus.
Thinking that treating frostbite with warm water is the best way, as everyone knows, this is a completely wrong way.
You should know that even if you rub your hands directly to quickly increase the local body temperature, this process is too fast, causing the cold blood to pass through the heart quickly and in large quantities, which will instead cause symptoms of hypothermia in the body.
On the contrary, rubbing with snow can move the frostbitten part on the one hand, and prevent the blood from flowing quickly on the other hand.
This is relief.
Slow is not necessarily a bad thing.
This is also the accumulated experience of many older generations who have personally experienced it.
After half an hour of tossing and tossing, the six of them lost all sleepiness, and sat in the igloo, chatting while warming up the fire.
"We built a fire in the igloo, will this igloo be melted and collapsed?" Chen Xiuqing obviously had never experienced such an operation, and looked up from time to time to see that the top was only blocked with a few snowballs, revealing a big gap The air vent looks a little worried.
"will not!"
Lu Lu said affirmatively: "As far as the temperature emitted by the fire on our wooden pier has not reached the top, it has been lowered to almost the same level as the outside... However, there is one thing that needs to be paid attention to. We must ensure the ventilation on the top." The mouth must not be blocked by ice and snow, otherwise, if we are not careful, we will be suffocated inside."
As Lu Lu said, he took a piece of firewood and cleaned up several smaller holes covered by falling snow.
Now, he is more worried about another question: "Third brother, there is a snowstorm, will our horses be unbearable outside?"
The temperature is thirty to forty degrees below zero, if the horses are frozen and have problems, they can go home tomorrow.
"Don't worry, they're fine. Oroqen horses are kept outside most of the time. The cold doesn't affect them."
Zhao Yongke said with a smile: "When we were on the mountain before, no matter what the weather, the horses were tied outside."
Having said that, Lu Lu felt relieved.
"Don't tell me, the inside of this igloo is indeed warmer than the tent!"
Liang Kangbo poked the snow wall with his hand, and found that the surface of the inner wall had already frozen: "Let me tell you, let's change the place and build a snow house like this. It's comfortable to live in."
"It's good...it's just too troublesome!"
Zhang Shaofeng smiled, looked up at the dark night sky outside through the gap in the snowball, and listened to the whistling wind: "I don't know how long this big smoke bubble will last, if it goes down for a day, we have to stay in it for a day , can't do anything!"
Lu Lu also sighed slightly: "I hope it won't take so long!"
The shift of guarding in the tent turned into taking turns to poke the vents on the roof of the igloo, and the night was spent safely at least.
However, after dawn, the big smoke bubble did not intend to stop in the slightest.In the igloo, the shrill wind outside could still be heard, and large groups of snowflakes were still whirling and flying.
This sleep in the igloo was indeed a comfortable sleep.
But you can't stay inside all the time, and you have to prepare more, including firewood. What worries Lu Lu is the horses outside.
Putting on dry sandals and putting on leggings, Lu Lu stretched out his hand and pushed the doorway blocked by the snowball, only to find that the ice was connected together and it was still motionless. He had to pull out the hunting knife and disassemble the snowball. , but found that after clearing the snowball, it revealed a thick layer of snow slightly higher than the door opening.
During this night, at least a layer of snow as thick as [-] centimeters fell, and with the snow that fell before, it was knee-deep.
Lu Lu smacked his lips, pulled away the snow layer, poked his head out, looked at the gray world outside, a gust of cold wind hit his face, which made him shiver uncontrollably.
He turned his head to look again, good guy, the tent has been collapsed, covered by snow, leaving only a small tent tip.
The fire left outside the tent door last night had already been buried by the snow layer, including the sledge placed outside the tent.
The six Oroqen horses were still alive and kicking, but their bodies were also covered with a layer of snow, and their long manes turned into icy skates. It must have been a lot of tossing all night, and their range of motion was tightly compacted. It became a pit, still eating snow.
Lu Lu was about to get out, when suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a figure moving in the snow. He couldn't help but look a little bit more closely, and found that it was actually a big brown bear, moving clumsily in the snow Standing upright from time to time, looking this way.
Lu Lu hurriedly retracted and reached for the gun.
Seeing this, Chen Xiuqing, who was already prepared, wanted to go out to have a look first. As a result, he squatted down, and as soon as his head got out of the hole, Lu Lu dragged him back and sat down on the ground.
He looked at Lu Lu with a puzzled expression on his face.
"There is Xiong Ba!" Lu Lu whispered.
On this snowy day, I thought everything would be quiet, but I didn't expect that Xiongba would come to the door as soon as I woke up in the morning.
Hearing what Lu Lu said, the expressions of the rest of them suddenly became serious.
"Yuan Bao and the others didn't respond!" Zhang Shaofeng looked at Yuan Bao and the others habitually, and said a little strangely when he saw a few dogs lying quietly on their stomachs.
"In such a heavy snowstorm, the sound can't be heard clearly, and the smell from the animals should be weaker, and it still can't dissipate. Besides, we are in the snow house again, so it's normal that we didn't notice it." Liang Kangbo explained in a low voice.
Lu Lu smiled: "It's still far away, 200 meters away!"
Then, he took out his semi-automatic, drilled half of his body out of the hole again, lay down on the snow, and looked at the brown bear wriggling in the snow through the scope.
It seemed to smell the smell of the horses here. It stopped and went, and kept coming towards the snow house. It seemed that it wanted to come and have a big meal.
Lu Lu just watched silently. When the brown bear entered the 200-meter range of visual inspection and stood up again, looking in this direction, he aimed at Xiong Ba's head and pulled the trigger.
There was a bang, and the bullets flew out.
However, the bully bear didn't fall down, instead he roared and rushed towards the direction of the snow house.
