Chapter 592 Encountering a beast?
Finally got into the water!
Ye Shu felt so comfortable that he dived to the bottom of the river in one breath, swam around for a while, and then quickly floated to the surface after calculating the time.
The main reason was that it was Xiao Gao who accompanied her this time, so she had to be cautious. She calculated the time it took a normal person to hold their breath, and floated up from time to time to show her face, pretending to come out to breathe.
Fortunately, she was very fast in the water. Even in just a minute, she could run very far and make a round trip.
It can be considered as a comfortable swim.
However, her main purpose of going to the river today was to relieve fatigue, so it didn't matter whether she could swim or not.
After soaking for a while, she felt all her fatigue was gone and all her energy returned. She no longer wanted to linger, so she took the fishing net and went into the river to start fishing.
At this time, Xiao Gao had already dug a hole in the ice on the shore and was just waiting for Ye Shu to catch the fish and send the fishing net over. They would be responsible for transporting the fish to the shore.
They have done this kind of thing many times and are now very familiar with it.
They first tied strong ropes to several nearby tree trunks, and when Ye Shu delivered the fishing net, they used the other end of the rope to hold the fishing net.
At the same time, use stones to press on the ice surface to press down the edges and corners of the fishing net.
This way they can slowly bring the fish to shore.
They don't even have to put in much effort, because a fish will definitely jump out of water.
But the temperature is so low now, no matter how big the fish is, it will become stiff after just a few jumps.
While the soldiers were loading fish, Ye Shu changed into clean clothes in the tent, wiped his hair half dry with a towel, and then went to the shore to warm himself by the fire.
Xiao Gao had already prepared brown sugar ginger water, and Ye Shu drank two bowls in a row. In addition, he had regained his energy in the water, and now his whole body was warm, and he felt great!
Ye Shu dried her hair and the soldiers packed up the fish, so Xiao Gao was left alone to accompany Ye Shu while the others went up the mountain to chop firewood.
Ye Shu thought for a moment and said, "I'll go with you."
Xiao Gao disagreed: "Sister-in-law, you must be very tired these days. Just rest here. They will chop the firewood."
Ye Shu: "It's okay, I'll go take a look."
She didn't have to chop wood, but Xiao Gao had to go. One more person meant more strength, and it was always a good idea to chop more firewood.
There are so many wounded people in the camp now. They cannot get cold while recuperating in bed, so the heated kangs have to be burned all day long, which wastes a lot of firewood.
Xiao Gao couldn't persuade her, so he finally let her go with him.
Sure enough, after going up the mountain, Xiao Gao automatically joined the firewood-cutting team.
They cut down small trees that could not grow under the big trees, or dead and rotten wood that had fallen to the ground.
Moreover, each time we go up the mountain, we go in a different direction. The surrounding forests are very dense, so there is no need to worry about all the trees being cut down.
Suddenly, there was a commotion ahead, and the footsteps were very chaotic and hurried.
The soldiers were already quite experienced. When they heard the noise, they thought they had encountered a wild boar or some other ferocious beast, and immediately whispered the order: "Be on guard!"
Xiao Gao immediately drew his weapon and stood beside Ye Shu, urging her in a low and quick voice, "Sister-in-law! Climb the tree!"
Encountering wild animals in the wild in winter, no matter what they are, is more dangerous than encountering them in other seasons!
Now she is not sure what kind of beast is coming, or how many beasts there are. She is worried that they will not be able to take care of her once they fight, so to be on the safe side, she is asked to climb the tree first.
Ye Shu had sharp hearing and good eyesight. The moment they predicted the danger and deployed their formation, he had already seen the situation ahead.
Is that a soldier from the team, holding a bundle in his hand? ?
Behind him, a wild boar was chasing.
Ye Shu didn't waste any time and immediately climbed up a big tree not far away.
Huo Yisheng also taught her the skill of climbing trees. Although she was a bit unfamiliar and clumsy, she was able to succeed.
Soon, the soldier rushed back to the circle of his comrades, and Xiao Gao and his team immediately faced the rampaging wild boar.
Fortunately, it was just one of them and was killed by the soldiers in a short while.
Wild boars appeared here and there was a smell of blood. Everyone was afraid to stay here any longer and prepared to move to another place to continue chopping wood.
Fortunately, they had already chopped half a cart of firewood, and just a little more would make it complete.
This wild boar was an unexpected harvest.
But now no one cared whether it was unnecessary to transport the wild boar back, because everyone's attention was on the soldier who was chased back by the wild boar.
Xiao Gao asked: "What is this in your hand?"
They all thought the package he was holding was strange, and the key point was that he took off his military coat and wrapped it around his body.
The soldier beside him was puzzled: "What kind of treasure is it that makes you risk your life to protect it? Aren't you cold?"
They were all unmarried young people with little experience, and they just thought his actions and reactions were very strange.
Ye Shu was a mother of three children, and she considered herself knowledgeable and experienced, so she immediately ran over and asked curiously, "Why do I look like a child?"
The soldier nodded immediately: "Sister-in-law! You are amazing!"
A burst of laughter immediately erupted from the side: "Fuck! Is he really a child?"
"What's going on? Where did you get this child?"
"You picked it up? From a wild boar's den?"
Everyone couldn't help but think of the wild boar disaster before. Wasn't it because someone in Camp No. 2 moved something in the wild boar's den, so they were retaliated by them?
But on second thought, it didn't seem right. Although wild boars are omnivores and will attack humans, I've never heard of them eating people!
Ye Shu was also stunned: "Is he really a child?"
The soldier nodded: "Yes!"
Ye Shu frowned, looked back, and said, "Call the brothers immediately, stop chopping wood, and return to the camp immediately!"
Wild boars do not eat people, but who knows if there are exceptions?
There is an influx of wild boars in the wild this year, which will inevitably cause food shortages. This child looks very young, and it is possible that he is food for the wild boars.
Xiao Gao immediately sent a signal to the sky to call another group to look for food for the wild goats.
The teams on both sides quickly gathered together, returned to the river, drank brown sugar ginger water, loaded firewood, and put out the fire, all in one go.
Because of the hasty retreat, none of the four carts were full.
Ye Shu was sitting on the cart, so he had the opportunity to pick up the child and examine him carefully.
The little soldier's military coat has been returned to him. It is too cold outside and he will freeze to death if he doesn't wear the coat.
Because Ye Shu was going down to the river, he must have brought a bag with him.
She took advantage of the cover of the bundle, took out one of her own cotton-padded clothes from the space bag, and wrapped the child in it.
I saw that the child's skin had turned slightly blue and purple due to the cold. This was not good!
She quickly took out a bottle of hot salt water from the space bag and placed it inside her cotton coat to keep the child warm through the child's swaddling clothes.
