"It's okay, I'm okay."

In the warm room, Wei Ran had already pulled out the two balls of cotton from his nostrils as he spoke, "Let's go together."

Hearing this, Regina immediately gestured in dumb language, "Find an excuse to let him stay. How can we go after that wolf pack with him?"

Seeing this, Yuri looked around, pointed at the animal skin that had just been poured with hot water to soften it and stretched with wooden poles, and said, "Brother Victor, please stay.

This animal hide needs to be dried as soon as possible, and someone must watch it, in case it is attracted by the fireplace..."

“I can understand sign language”

Wei Ran gestured with his hands in front of the two of them, and then he saw the siblings' mouths wide open in astonishment.

"Pa!" Wei Ran snapped his fingers and said, "So either take me with you, or I go to Uncle Artyom and ask him to confiscate your shotgun and binoculars."

"Sister, what should I do?" Yuri looked at Regina with a sad face.

Obviously, the latter did not expect Wei Ran to actually know sign language. The girl gritted her teeth, wrapped herself in the white fur scarf again and gestured, "How come you know sign language?"

"I have a friend, and he can't speak either." Wei Ran hesitated for a moment, pointed to his throat and asked, "Was he bitten by a wolf?"

Hearing this, Regina nodded, and then gestured, "Then let's go together, those wolves may go back soon."

"Don't worry about this deerskin?" Wei Ran asked, pointing to the huge deerskin.

Hearing this, Yuri patted his forehead, and Regina covered her mouth and smiled, but she did not answer the question.

Now that they had reached a consensus, the three of them were ready to leave. Wei Ran, who was walking at the end, didn't say much. He just added more firewood to the fireplace before leaving, and put the stretched animal skin between the two

In the middle of the bed, he carefully closed the wooden door, shouted at the sleigh and followed the siblings.

A group of three sled carts returned to the lake again. The two sled brothers and sisters tacitly led the reindeer and sled dogs pulling the cart farther away, then cut some pine branches from the surrounding area and spread them on the ground.

A salt brick was dug out of the wooden box on the side of the sleigh and tied to the tree.

Without any further greeting, Wei Ran led his two reindeer over and also dug out a salt brick and tied it to the tree.

When the four reindeer lay on the pine branches and began to lick the salt bricks, the dogs also curled up on an animal skin blanket that Regina pulled off the sleigh, and obediently let Yuri

A canvas was placed over them.

After arranging these little animals, Yuri quickly climbed up a pine tree, sat on the branch and raised his latest telescope.

Under the tree, Regina also sat on the dog sled, put away the extinguished oil lamp, placed the dragoon rifle with a scope on the baffle in front of the sled, and then placed the

The hood of the Marizza leather robe that was almost at the same level as his feet was tied tightly.

Seeing that this snow girl-like Regina had blended into the surroundings, Wei Ran also extinguished the oil lamp, dragged the sleigh alone two steps further away, and hid in the crown of another tree.

inside.

He also tightened the hood of his leather robe, and pretended to reach under the sleigh as a cover. He slowly took out his SVT40 semi-automatic rifle, and gently lifted the muzzle of the pine branch tied with cloth.

He rested lightly on a tree branch.

He moved his eyes to the edge of the scope and gently moved the muzzle. Finally, the T-shaped crosshair in the scope was aimed at the pile of internal organs on the lake. Unfortunately, there were no prey around the internal organs.

.

After glancing at the siblings hiding up and down the tree not far away, Wei Ran leaned the gun in his hand against the front fender of the sleigh, then took out his binoculars and looked at the frozen lake.

Compared with the sight on the gun, this telescope can undoubtedly see a wider field of view. However, Wei Ran's attention is not entirely focused on the lake. Instead, it is aimed at the night sky filled with auroras, looking forward to it.

You can see the parachute blooming.

As the three people above and below the tree waited patiently, time passed by and the sky became symbolically brighter. It was at this time that a pack of wolves finally came running from the other side of the lake.

"Snapped"

A snowball was thrown from the treetops and hit accurately near the sled where Regina was, followed immediately by a second snowball flying out and hitting Wei Ran.

After receiving the signal, Weiran calmly put away the telescope and replaced it with the SVT40 sniper rifle.

The distance between the two is less than 300 meters, but with the help of the sight, it can't be said to be too far.

However, the snowflakes flying on the lake with the cold wind and the dark sky from time to time added some unpredictable difficulties to the hunting activity.

Throwing off the bearskin three-fingered glove on his right hand, Wei Ran gently pushed the safety to load the bullet, put the scope on the wolf pack and was ready to fire.

As he waited and watched, the wolves quickly surrounded the pile of frozen internal organs and began to feast.

Just from the order of eating, whether Wei Ran, Regina or Yuri hiding in the tree, they all easily found the new wolf king. However, Wei Ran made up his mind that as long as Regina

If you don't shoot, he won't shoot either.

Soon, the wolf king seemed to have filled his stomach, and the rest of the wolves also surrounded him. But Regina was still in no hurry to shoot.

After more than half an hour, the squatting wolf king raised its neck and started howling.

It's a pity that the wolf's howl didn't have time to reach the ears of the three of them with the wind, before Regina suddenly pulled the trigger!

"boom!"

"boom!"

Almost at the same time that Regina fired the shot, Wei Ran also pulled the trigger. Less than half a second later, the newly promoted wolf king fell to the ground, and another wolf not far away from it was also shot.

Wei Ran hit the shoulder blade.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After these two shots, the members of the wolf pack who had just eaten turned around and ran in the direction they came from, but Regina took advantage of this moment to complete the push.

The action of loading a bullet.

"boom!"

In this second round of shooting, Wei Ran was the first to fire, and as expected, this shot killed a wolf again.

"Bang!" The second shot fired by Regina also hit a fleeing wolf.

After that, neither she nor Wei Ran stopped shooting. Instead, they dragged their own sleighs and ran to the resting animals not far away. Yuri, who was hiding in the tree, also climbed down quickly.

.

The three of them each installed an "engine" on their respective sleighs, but they did not dare to waste time. They shook the reins and rushed over as quickly as possible.

Without any communication at all, the three of them picked up the four wolf carcasses one by one, deftly skinned and disembowelled them, leaving only a bunch of intestines, and then rushed to the area where they had logged trees before.

"What gun did you use?" Just as Wei Ran was about to load the logs into the car, Regina came up and asked in sign language.

Hearing this, Wei Ran once again pretended to put his hand under the sleigh as a cover, took out his weapon and handed it to the opponent with confidence.

After taking the gun and just glancing at it, Regina handed it back to Wei Ran, then called to Yuri who wanted to take a look, and started busy carrying log poles as thick as a calf.

Using the cover of the sleigh to put the weapons in his hands back into the metal book again, Wei Ran was also busy with his job as a lumberjack again, carrying wooden poles that could be more than two meters long onto the sled, from time to time.

, and will also let the two reindeer that have rested enough to take a few steps to avoid overloading.

After a lot of work, the three sleds dragged the logs that had been cut down a few hours ago, slowly returned to the field beside the railway, unloaded the logs, and returned to the "dormitory" with their prey.

After more than two hours of going back and forth, the moose skin stretched with a wooden frame was still not dry, and the cellar was inevitably filled with a fishy smell that could not be ignored.

However, looking at the looks of the two siblings, it seemed that they had long been accustomed to the smell. So after taking off their thick leather robes, they soaked the newly hunted animal skins in hot water until soft.

, prepared for the next tanning work.

They were busy, and Wei Ran was not idle either. After he was busy adding enough firewood to the fireplace, he immediately went outside to find a sack of dried litmus and lichen and fed them to the four reindeer, and then fed the four wolves'

The legs were removed, and the remaining trunk was chopped into pieces and fed to the sled dogs.

By the time he cut up the three wolf legs, sprinkled them with crushed coarse salt, and grilled them on the edge of the fireplace, the two sisters had already skillfully chopped open the wolf heads with an ax, took out the brains and made a

With a bucket of stinky brain fluid, he began to tan the four latest wolf skins.

Wei Ran couldn't participate in such work, so he simply put all his thoughts on roasting wolf legs. At the same time, he also secretly wondered how many more peaceful days like this could last.

Almost an hour later, the three wolf legs were roasted to a crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, and the four roughly tanned wolf skins were stretched tightly by the makeshift wooden frame beside the fireplace.

Let Regina move the fire a little outside the fireplace with her own hands and add a few extra firewood, and the three of them sat around the only wooden table.

Wei Ran poured a cup of hot water with pine branches into each of the siblings, and then gave the roasted wolf legs to them.

Perhaps because she learned that Wei Ran could understand sign language, Regina, who had rarely participated in the conversation before, became more lively. From time to time, she would put down the roasted wolf leg in her hand and ask various questions with gestures.

It was through small talk that Wei Ran also learned from Yuri that the siblings had not seen their mother since they could remember, and that Regina went to the forest with Yuri when she was 11 years old.

While collecting firewood, he was bitten through the throat by a lone wolf.

If it hadn't been for the political commissar of the forestry farm who almost risked his life to save her and drove her sleigh in a blizzard to Murmansk for treatment, she might not have survived at all.

It was precisely because of that experience that even though Regina became mute after recovering from her injury, she still worked hard to become an excellent hunter - she especially liked hunting wolves.

After they had eaten and drank enough to add enough firewood to the fireplace, the three of them lay on their own beds, quietly listening to the crackling sound of the burning firewood, smelling the fishy smell of the animal skins, and finally closed their doors.

I closed my eyes and fell into sleep.

When he woke up, the kerosene lamp hanging above his head had been extinguished, and there were only scarlet embers left in the bonfire in the fireplace. It was inevitably much colder in the cellar.

He got up and put on his boots and deerskin robe again. Wei Ran reached out and touched some of the dried animal skins, stretched himself to the edge of the fireplace, pulled away the ashes and added firewood, and then put the lamp

The wick of the kerosene lamp was twisted out and lit again.

When he made a move, the two sisters, Regina and her brother, also woke up one after another.

"Snapped!"

Regina snapped her fingers at Yuri who was rubbing his eyes. When the other party looked over sleepily, she immediately gestured in sign language and said, "Today we will sew the animal skins together."

"I know," Yuri said and immediately started to get dressed.

When the siblings came down, Wei Ran also used the leftover roasted wolf legs from last night to make a pot of broth. The siblings skillfully removed the dried wolf skins from the wooden frame.

After some simple cutting, they were sewn together into a blanket almost the size of a double bed using two steel needles as long as chopsticks and a leather rope that was obviously made by himself.

"Shall we just go after the wolf pack later?"

Regina patted Wei Ran's arm and gestured in a mute language, "We have killed two wolf kings. That wolf pack will definitely migrate far away today. Let's bring more food to catch up. The harvest will definitely be better than cutting down.

There need to be more trees.”
