Chapter 1118 When rushing on the road in a violent storm(2/2)

, has been transformed into various outdoor stoves. In addition, it is used to hold any liquid including vodka.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Of course, there are also a considerable number of soldiers or militiamen who fill this thing with hot water and use it as a soup pot.

Just like the four iron buckets that Mesut brought out, just looking at the insulation jackets made of canvas and felt on the outside, you can tell that these things were most likely used to hold kerosene before they were used.

Lumberjacks who need to work in the field for long periods of time use it as a soup pot.

As if he had guessed what Wei Ran was thinking, Mesut reached out and took out three more empty buckets from the pile of supplies and gave them to Wei Ran and Ihor, "You can fill them with hot water later."

Accepting this small surprise with peace of mind, which can provide great help to keep out the cold, Mesut continued, "In addition to food and fuel, we also have a rifle and a few bullets. The rifle is held by Ihor.

I'll keep the bullets, do you have any objections?"

"No," Ihor said first.

"I don't mind either." Wei Ran nodded. The dragoon rifle didn't even have a stab. As long as there were no bullets in it, it was only as lethal as a baseball bat.

"Although we only have one shotgun and not many bullets, I have prepared three fishing rods and enough hooks and lines. If we encounter a lake on the way, maybe we can try to catch fish."

As Mesut spoke, he had already opened a rolled-up canvas roll, revealing three fishing rods that were only one meter long and fish hooks and lines fixed on the canvas roll, as well as pieces made of iron sheets and the hair of unknown animals.

of false bait.

"We still have a bag of feed and three salt bricks," Ihor reminded.

"I also prepared some additional veterinary drugs, which can also be used by humans in emergencies."

Mesut said as he took out the items from the wooden box at the rear of the sleigh, "In addition, I prepared a pair of skis and ski poles for everyone, and of course, snowshoes."

"There are also animal skins," Wei Ran reminded, pointing to the animal skins taken from the sleigh beside him.

"Two of these animal skins for each person," Mesut said as he had already arranged, "if it's not enough."

"enough"

Wei Ran said, and gave each person two wolf skins and a smaller fox skin. He had taken these because of the number of people.

Of course, in addition to these public goods, there are also some private things that are not counted. For example, the pocket watch compass that was already in Mesut's hands at this time and the pen that Wei Ran gave him as a birthday gift. For example, when Wei Ran decided

The body stove and bearskin mittens that had been put away before stopping to rest, as well as the kerosene in the Soviet kettle on his waist.

In this little tacit understanding, after everyone had put away the animal skins for warmth, Mesut also turned over the first sledge truck, and then took out two iron irons that were obviously made by himself from the box and placed them on the stove.

While heating.

Under the watchful eyes of Wei Ran and Ihor, Mesut took out a small candle left in advance and pressed it on the heated iron, letting the melted wax drip onto the inverted sleigh skateboard.

Then, he used the twice-heated soldering iron to move quickly on the skateboard to melt the dripping wax oil again and spread it more evenly.

"We'd better do waxing the sled runners more often."

Mesut reminded while he was busy, "This will allow us to go faster and save our reindeer less effort. Correspondingly, the two sleighs can also run longer distances.

Okay, now you two pour hot water on the cup to unmold the solidified candle inside, and then try to wax the skateboard of the other sleigh."

Hearing this, Ihor picked up the enamel kettle first, poured hot water on one of the enamel jars, and easily took out a large piece of oversized candle that was completely solidified inside and was nearly ten centimeters in diameter and height.

come out.

Wei Ran didn't bother to fight with the devil. He just unmoulded the reshaped candle and slowly filled the empty bucket he just got with snow, then poured the remaining hot water in the kettle into it and started again.

I boiled a pot and added some firewood.

After removing the insulation cover from the outside of the iron bucket, Wei Ran placed it next to the red-hot iron bucket and heated it slowly. Then, while Mesut was polishing the sled skateboard with a piece of deerskin, he used the other party's soldering iron to burnish the sled.

Another skateboard waxing.

After nearly an hour of busy work, all four skateboards of the two sleighs were re-waxed, and the iron buckets used by everyone for heating were filled with scalding hot water. Even the reindeer next door were filled with hot water.

He got a salt brick that was fixed on the tree trunk and could be licked at will, as well as a basin of warm water and a small amount of feed.

Even the unloaded supplies were evenly distributed between the two vehicles. Between choosing Ihor, who was holding a gun and holding a deer calf, and other extra supplies, Weiran chose to pull the unloaded supplies without even thinking about it.

Miscellaneous items such as cooking utensils and feed that can cause breathing problems.

After the charcoal fire in the tin bucket was completely burned out, the three of them filled the emptied tin bucket with more firewood, then buried the ashes, re-harnessed the reindeer, dismantled the canvas tent, and wrapped the car tightly with ropes

The rest of the supplies continued to move forward with difficulty despite the violent storm and snow.

This time, the direction of the two sleds was still the looming mountains due east. But Mesut, who was responsible for leading the way, did not mention his destination or detailed escape plan either when he was just resting or now.

.

Under his leadership, it took the two sledge trucks another three hours to pass through a two-kilometer-long valley. Finally, the reindeer barely arrived before their strength was exhausted.

The east side of this mountain range.

Thanks to the shelter of this mountain, the wind and snow here were undoubtedly much lighter. They continued to call the reindeer and walked slowly south towards the foot of the mountain for about seven or eight kilometers, and finally they found a dense forest at the foot of the mountain with no wind at all.

Deep down, I chose a relatively high location and stopped again.

Using the faintest light of the kerosene lamp, they hurriedly set up tents under two trees next to each other. The three of them drove all the reindeer into one of the tents and tied them up, but they had no time to rest, collect firewood, or

Collecting pine branches, or wielding a snow shovel to clear the snow in the tent.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the intense busyness, the surface snow was shoveled away from both tents, and a thick layer of pine needles was laid on them.

In the tent where the people lived, a pile of bonfires were raised with iron buckets to provide warmth. At this time, on top of this simple stove, there was also an aluminum bucket pot that Mesut bought with money, and inside it was

Three pieces of raw and frozen fish and three frozen potatoes were boiled. The enamel kettle placed by the stove was also filled with snow waiting to melt.

In such spooky weather, there is naturally no need to worry about people following the firelight to find this place, but vigil work is still necessary. After all, although the wind and snow here are blocked by the mountains, the corresponding wild animals, especially those that can harm

The probability of seeing wild animals coming to them is also much higher. Among them, wolves are undoubtedly the most threatening.

Of course, this vigil work will undoubtedly be left to Ihor, who cannot drive a reindeer sleigh, so he has been riding in the car all day.

After a quick dinner, Wei Ran and Sumeite each lay down in a sleigh covered with wolf skins. In each of their arms, they also held a tin bucket filled with hot water.

As for Ihor, who is keeping watch at night, he can only hold a cold rifle and a warm reindeer calf and sit on a wooden box covered with animal skins. In addition to keeping watch at night to watch out for wild animals, he also has to ensure that he can replenish firewood at any time and not let the animal hide.

Only when the fire goes out.

This Japanese prisoner of war had no complaints about this job, but when he looked at the deerskin robes and goggles hanging around their necks, Wei Ran and Mei Su, he couldn't help but feel a little envious.

After this day's escape, although it didn't have to operate a sled, it was still very cold, especially when Weiran and Mesut both had goggles but it didn't.

So along the way, it didn't have much chance to open its eyes. Most of the time, it covered its head with animal skins and hugged the reindeer, huddled on the sleigh that was surrounded by ventilation.

Of course, Wei Ran did bring an extra pair of goggles from the store warehouse, but how could he take the initiative to give these to Ihor?

Just like how could he know that while they were resting, in the dense forest on the other side of the road they crossed for the second time, there was a young figure carrying an SKS semi-automatic rifle driving a dozen sled dogs, dragging
