Alpine pasture

Chapter 334 Winter Camp
Wang Fan looked at the big cow: "Is the speed of this cow pulling a little too slow? Watching TV other people's dogs are pulling like a trot."

"How slow can it be? The speed of Daniel is okay. The most important thing is that you don't need to find too much food for them. It's enough to turn over some dead grass under the snow." Ju An explained to Wang Fan.

Hearing Ju An's words, he nodded: "Then take the cow, the dog eats more food will take up more space."After the decision was made, the two entered the ranch office. Thomas was preparing to sell cattle. When he saw Ju An coming in, he smiled at them: "Why did you two come together today?"

"Wang Fan and Miles are going to go camping. I made a list and I want to ask you to see what's missing." Ju An pulled up a chair, sat down, and handed the list to Thomas.

Thomas took the list and looked at it carefully for 5 minutes and added a few things on it: "You need to bring antifreeze hand protection and face cream, and the rest is almost the same. Just remember to bring a warmer cushion."Then handed the list to Ju An.

Ju An took the order and said to Thomas, "That's it, you are busy with you, and I will go to the ranch now."Seeing Thomas nodded to continue his work, Ju An took Wang Fan out of the house.

In the next week, Ju An was dragged by Wang Fan to buy tents. The brand-new sled is very light, one meter wide and two meters long. It can be easily lifted with one hand. It is probably carbon fiber or some other material. Yes, I bought three in total, one for each of Miles Wang Fanjuan, and helped them choose a large pile of things like floor mats.

At noon on the day of departure, Ju An and the three of them wore three sleighs that looked like balls and were loaded with things, pulled by a family of three, followed by Teddy Hans Jinbao plus The tiger head, garlic head and preserved egg were sorted out. Ju An and Wang Fan followed their wife to say goodbye, and drove their sleigh to the vast white mountain.

The weight of the three sleds was put on the Daniel's family of three, as if they were unusual. The three cows pulled the sled easily and trotted along the way. Wang Fan and Miles stood behind the sled and held onto the handrail from time to time. Shouting: "Hurry up! Hurry up!".Daniel's family of three pulled the sled and started to run on the snow. The surrounding scene receded behind him one after another. After running for a few minutes, the Daniel's family slowed down, and their noses began to spit white air.

Ju An said to the two of them, "Don't rush now, just walk up a section slowly, and let a few cows recover their strength."Teddy and Hans Jinbao, who followed behind, were fighting every now and then. Only the three cattle dogs were more dedicated and honestly marking scents under the tree.

There is nothing to see in the heavy snow along the way. The speed of the three people is much faster than when Ju An came alone. When they camped at night, Ju An determined the location on the map, and actually walked a third of the way. If there is still more road, at this speed, tomorrow night, you can spend the night next to the stream where Ju An visited last time.

The tent was set up, the ground was frozen solid as ice, but Ju An brought a crank fire axe, let Wang Fan hold the iron drill, and swung the blunt side of the axe to drive the iron drill into it. In the ground, three tents were set up, put in the cold-proof mats, and the warm sleeping bags were sorted out. Ju An led two people to find firewood.

Kicking away the snow, it was not an easy task to find the dead tree trunk hidden under the snow. The three of them worked hard for more than 20 minutes before finding a bunch of seeds. The sum was not enough for cooking, so they returned to the camp with the dry branches , suddenly became happy, Teddy was dragging a big dry branch to the camp, it can’t be said to be a dry branch, it’s just a tree as thick as a bowl, the whole trunk is there, not to mention burning for one night, one day is enough .

Ju An put the wood in her arms into the camp, touched Teddy's head and praised: "Teddy is such a good comrade."Miles also reached out and touched Teddy's back: "good, boy!, good boy!".

With the firewood, Ju An poured some gasoline on the firewood he had collected, lit it with an igniter, then swung the fire axe and started to cut down the branches of the tree. After taking off the heavy coat, he continued to turn the axe, while Wang Fan was responsible for carrying the chopped wood to the fire.

Seeing that Ju An was sweating profusely, Miles walked over to Ju An and said, "Ann! Let me try it, you can cook."Ju An handed the axe to Miles: "Then you have to pay attention, the branches are all chopped off, now cut the trunk into small pieces, don't cut too much, just cut five or six knots a little, and then chop it into small pieces. firewood".After speaking, he gestured with both hands.

Miles smiled and said to Ju An: "I still need you to teach such an easy thing."After speaking, he picked up the axe and started to chop. Ju An saw that Miles had chopped twice, then shook his head and walked away. Every time he dropped the axe, the distance was five or six centimeters away, which took a lot of effort.

When they came to the fire, Wang Fan set up a pot together. As for the meat of Teddy and his family, they were brought here. Miles cleaned up some beef hearts and intestines, and was putting them down next to the fire to roast them. It was a small pot. Ju An took one of the marinated beef pieces and put it in the pot. He added some water. The water in the plastic packaging bucket was placed in the middle of the luggage. When it was frozen, poured half a pot of water, cut two potatoes and onions into it, covered the lid and started to stew the beef.

After waiting for a while, the sky darkened, Ju An and Wang Fan set aside canvas chairs and sat beside the fire to bake.Miles was chopping wood alone, and saw two people roasting fire and yelling at Wang Fan: "Fan! Come and chop for a while, I will rest! This looks easy, but it is really difficult to chop."

After listening to this, Ju An smiled and stood up from the chair and said to the two of them, "I'll do it. I don't know how long it will take for the two of you to chop wood."After finishing speaking, he went to Miles and took the axe: "Put your coat on, don't catch a cold."

Watching Miles pick up the coat next to him and put it on, Ju An started to chop with an axe. A few axe cut a small V-shaped groove on the tree trunk, and then gradually the groove expanded. When he got up, Zhong Ju'an chopped off a section of twenty or thirty centimeters for more than two copies.

The whole action was smooth, even Teddy Hans and Jinbao ran to the side to watch Ju An chop wood.

Miles looked at him and said to Ju An, "Good job! Seeing how easy you are to chop, you won't be able to get the right head once you get the axe."

Wang Fan came over after hearing Miles' words, and watched Ju An cut down another tree segment: "Well! Not bad! Reminds me of a text I learned when I was in school. I forgot the name, nothing else. Only you are familiar with it!".

Ju An listened to Wang Fan's gritty comments, shook his head and said, "It depends on the skill of the hands. The first three axes should be separated by one or two centimeters. The word slot is much better."

Waiting for Ju An to chop down five or six tree stumps, and then play a new trick, standing the chopped tree stump directly on the snow, one axe down the tree stump into two sections, followed by two or three axe. The stump was chopped down into about the size of a wrist, and firewood.

Wang Fan and Miles looked at them and said, "This is easier, as long as you have a lot of strength, let me try it!".

Ju An smiled at the two of them and said, "When I finish cutting, I will leave a stake for you to play with, don't make trouble now."

"One is enough for us to cut, at least two," Wang Fan said confidently to Ju An.

"One of you will finish the chopping soon. You can't chop up another piece of wood to come out. It's not worth watching." Ju An said to the two of them, shaking their heads.

After the wood was chopped, the two were carried to the bonfire. Ju An handed the ax to the two and let them chop and play. Ju An sat on the chair and watched the two of them for a while before laughing.The tree stump cut down by Ju An is not flat at both ends, and it only stands up against the snow, so when you drop the axe, you must have a good grasp of the head and the strength, or the axe will be stuck on the trunk, and Like Wang Fan and Miles now, of course, Ju An's hands should be stronger due to the space, so that Ju An can easily strike two pieces with one axe.

Seeing the two chopping for 2 minutes, Ju An lost interest. He turned his head to look at the fire, turned over Teddy's food, saw that it was roasted soft, and picked it up with tongs. Put it aside and shouted to Teddy Hans Jinbao next to Wang Fan and Miles: "Come and eat!".

Hearing Ju'an's voice, Teddy and a few ran to the fire, followed by Tiger Head and Garlic Head Egg. They divided the food into small piles and put them directly on the snow. Teddy and a few buried their heads and ate it. up.

While waiting for Ju An's beef to cook, the two of them did not turn the wooden stakes into firewood. Ju An smiled and said to the two of them, "Let's eat first, if you are interested and have the strength to continue playing after eating."

The two returned to the chair with the axe, Wang Fan leaned the axe against Ju An's canvas chair: "Stop playing, we are all doing mental work, this kind of pushing bricks, hand it over to you when chopping wood stakes. ”.

Ju An smiled and shared the beef and soup for the two of them, and the three of them carried the bowls to the chairs and started to eat.

While eating, Wang Fan looked at the surroundings and the sky: "It's really quiet here! It's a pity that I can't see any animals, not even a deer."

Ju An took a sip of hot soup: "It's snowing everywhere now, as long as the deer have grass to eat, you can't go hunting even if you see a deer."

"Myers and I both have shotguns, and we're going to shoot one when we're going to have fun." Wang Fan fiddled with the beef in the bowl and said.

"Then you peel the skin yourself, I'm not interested in peeling the deer skin in such a cold weather, you can't stretch your hands with gloves on," Ju An said to Wang Fan.
