Chapter 105 Sphagnum moss
I quickly went there on a long journey in the afternoon.
During this period, Lin Fan took a total of three rests, but the total food supplements he received only found a few edible wild fruits.
at this time,
Time slowly came to five o'clock in the afternoon local time in Russia.
As night falls, the temperature begins to drop rapidly, until late at night, and will continue to drop below minus thirty degrees Celsius.
On the frozen lake,
Lin Fan controlled the wind power to stop the brakes and stuffed the parachute back into his backpack.
Then, he dragged the heavy wooden cart to the shore and leaned the car against the rock.
"Look, the sun is about to set, and on the top of the mountain there, the red glow in the sky looks very beautiful, and this is indeed a good omen.
This reminds me of an ancient nursery rhyme in China: it turns red towards the evening sky, and the shepherds are full of joy; it turns red in the early morning sky, and there is wind even if there is no rain.
Sometimes you have to sigh at the wisdom of the ancients, because the reason for this redness is that pollen and dust are raised by high air pressure. If you see it in the morning, it means that the high air pressure has passed. If you see it in the evening, it means that the high air pressure is coming towards you.
In the northern hemisphere, if you see this morning glow in the morning, it usually means that the weather will get bad next, but thankfully, it's evening."
After learning that there will be good weather tomorrow, Lin Fan’s face will have a little more smile.
But it is not a happy time, he must raise the fire as soon as possible to cope with the coming cold.
"To be honest, I was sitting in the car today and was blown by the wind for a day. Now my whole face is almost unconscious. I can feel that the snot in my nose has been frozen into ice residue. This is not a good sign. You should know that in such an extreme environment, once you suck ice crystals at minus 40 degrees Celsius into your lungs, you will start coughing up blood, and your lungs are frostbite, and you will be sentenced to death here."
"Now, I have to find a way to protect the skin on my face, especially my ears and nose, including my vital parts. To be honest, the most important thing I have now is to protect my butt. If this continues tomorrow, I am very worried that it will frostbite. It is too fragile."
Then, as usual, he began to look for dead branches and leaves to burn.
However, the shore where the stop was docked this time was too desolate. Lin Fan walked along the shore for a long time and still could not see a tree.
The discovery of this situation made Lin Fan a little frustrated, "Maybe I shouldn't have stopped here, but to be honest, sitting on the wind car, the ruthless cold wind made my eyes unable to open, and I could hardly see the situation on the shore. And if I want to leave now, I may not be able to find the shore with trees. It seems that I need to climb over the river embankment in front of me to see if there is something I want on it, and I can also try my luck, hoping to find some food to come back."
Having said that, it is not easy to climb the steep river bank in front of you.
Through the high-definition camera of the drone, the audience in the live broadcast room clearly saw that the soft snow completely covered his waist. Every step Lin Fan took required great effort.
"Damn, the snow here is too soft, it feels like marshmallows."
"If you step on it, you will go straight to your waist, it's amazing."
"The snow here is really thick. I feel like a shorter person is here, so I'm afraid he'll just go to the trap."
"Puff! You've got enough of your head stuck in it. Is it wrong to be short?"
"Do you think the snow here seems to be different from the snow we usually see. It is very light and very thin?"
"Apart from movies and animations, I have never seen such white and light snow in reality."
Lin Fan was almost half lying on the snow, looking up at the river bank in front of him.
"The snow here is too thick. The wind blows from the shore and blows all the soft snow to the leeward slope. Look, these snows are particularly loose. They are like cotton. With just a slight sprinkle, they can be thrown all over the sky."
Under the camera, Lin Fan held up a cluster of snow in both hands and walked forward Yang Sa.
Suddenly, a large amount of snow was like the magic dust of the fairy aunt. The tiny velvet blew on the wind and all fell on his face.
"Ahem, damn, I'm such a fool. All this snow was sucked into my lungs. It felt terrible!"
"Puff, although I feel sorry for Mr. Fan, I suddenly thought of the word: NO as NO."
"So beautiful, really beautiful."
"It's really dreamy, it feels like the magic dust in a fairy tale, raising your hand and the stars in the sky."
"Magic Messenger: Godmother?"
"Come on Fanfan, we all support you!"
"Master Fan, please climb quickly, it looks like it's getting dark."
As time goes by,
With the arrival of the tide of get off work, a large number of viewers began to pour into the Huya platform one after another. Gradually, there were more and more viewers in the live broadcast room.
Ten minutes later, Lin Fan finally climbed up the river bank and gasped heavily.
"Oh my God, this is simply too tiring. Fortunately, I walked along the lake all the way, otherwise with such a snow thickness, I would probably not be able to walk out even five kilometers a day."
After a while of rest, Lin Fan got up from the ground.
Time is limited, so he must seize the time to cut down trees to raise the fire.
Fortunately, there are many trees on the river bank.
Lin Fan walked to the edge of a birch tree, took out his knife and cut some fine branches nearby, put them in his backpack to take them back for fire-attracting objects.
Then,
He pushed away the thick snow and found some dry moss under several round stones.
"Look, these are all peat moss."
As he said that, Lin Fan pulled a piece from below and raised it to the front of the camera:
"Look, this thing is particularly dry and has very good thermal insulation and moisture insulation properties. In fact, this plant also has a disinfection effect. It is rich in iodine. In World War I and II, soldiers would use this to apply it to large areas of wounds. Its antibacterial agents and iodine help clean and heal the wounds, and can also treat frostbite on my hands."
"This is a good thing. I have to find some more to bring back, and then wove it into a cushion and put it under my butt to protect my vital parts. This discovery is simply amazing!"
Afterwards, Lin Fan cleared away the snow nearby and planned to find more to put it in his backpack.
After a while, the materials were searched, Lin Fan dragged the dead tree and planned to return to the shore.
However, at this moment, the bright light on the distant ridge line attracted his attention.
