After pulling off the skin of two legs, Zongbu also ran to help.
Because the brown bear's fur was so riddled with bites, we had to discard one side and keep the other.
After pulling the skin, I naturally did not let go of four huge PAWS. Each one is the size of a washbasin.
By the time it was over, the sky was dim and bright. The snow has finally abated.
The other three men came down, and after I left them the task of peeling the brown bear, I went into the woods to look for a y-fork. This branch is the perfect raw material for a simple trailer.
After finding the "Y" branch, I cut some more branches and attached them to the branch to make a simple drag version.
I went back to camp, and they hadn't finished skinning the animals.
"Chief, how shall we go from here?" Zombu looked back and said, "We are carrying more and more things. It will be more dangerous through the woods."
"Take a detour." I can't remember the route I took last time. With all the trees and slopes in the forest, it's hard to make out the path.
As they continued their work, I cleaned out the old shack and removed the alpaca and horse meat that had been buried in it. Stacking the meat in the back of the trailer and covering it with brown bear skins protects the contents without taking up too much space.
When everything was ready, I surveyed several of them. They were all dressed in thick skins, and the cold was no longer harmful to us.
"Lu Fei, if we have to, let's go around the big forest." Li Wanxue said as she walked over to me.
I pointed to both ends of the forest and said, "Look at it for yourself. It stretches for thousands of kilometers. By the time we get around the forest, summer will be here. It's only a day or two. We'll move our positions, and when we're ready again, we'll go straight through the forest."
As we walked along the edge of the forest, three men took turns pulling the trailboard, and two women picked up dry wood as we walked. The depth of the snow made our progress very slow.
After walking for a long time, I finally found a small hill rising out of the snow bank less than ten meters.
I pointed to the place and said, "It should be a big rock. Let's go there and make camp."
"Should have camped long ago. My stomach is aching from hunger." Li Yunna wronged say.
I gave Jombu the axe and asked him and another native to cut down trees to build.
I took the pallet and the two women dragged the firewood and went first to the hill. Through the deep snow, there were stones inside, not one single stone, but a large stone surrounded by stones of different sizes.
We built a wall of snow around the edge of the big rocks.
Seeing that their fingers were stiff with cold, I stopped them and took out the skins and spread them on the floor so they could rest. He gathered some small sticks of dry wood, and poured out all the kindling which he had put in the kettle, for it had been so long that there was not a spark left in it.
I chose a low place, surrounded it with stones, and prepared to make a fire.
We were dressed in linen and skins that lacked stretch. This season has no way to find the right bark, there is no way to cheat, can only use the full manual way to drill wood for fire.
I rubbed the stick for a while, and my hands were red and hot, and there was no smoke in the wood.
"Lufei, why don't I do it instead?" Li Wanxue came up and plucked her hair.
"You'd better forget it. It takes a lot of work." I rubbed the palm, continue to rub the tree stick, although the palm will be some pain, but in order to raise the fire earlier, I endure to stick to it, smoke, hurriedly added some plush, fire burning up, carefully add firewood.
After the fire rises completely, I am busy to call two women come over, although wear much, but the hand is exposed outside, still can be frozen of chill.
Li Wanxue suddenly pull my hand past: "all dead skin, also don't know a bit more careful."
"It's okay, it's okay." I withdrew my hands. "You two put out the other Wolf steaks and roast them while I gather wood."
Learning from my previous experience, I decided to keep the fire burning all night, to keep the wolves away when they came.
Zombo and I went apart, and when I returned with three bundles of wood, they had built the skeleton of the shack, which, when covered with skins, looked like a Mongol bag. It's big enough for all of us and everything.
After we ate the steaks together, they took care of them, and I filled the kettle with half the white snow and set it by the fire. Then the three of us men went out and picked up some firewood.
It began to get dark when all was done.
As we sat down by the fire, I said, 'We'll rest here all day to-morrow, and walk through the woods early the next morning. You must all prepare yourselves for me."
"No problem, chief." Zombu was the first to answer.
"What if we meet another great beast in the woods?" Li yunna asked.
"I mean," I explained, "it's better to go straight through the trees. There's a good chance something might happen. We'll see what happens."
"If only we had alpacas." Li Yunna sighed.
After roasting for a while, he was not only warm, but also a little hot in his skin.
Seeing that the two women were very uncomfortable, I asked Shangzongbu and the two of them went out of the shack together. They rolled the snow around into a snowball and piled up a circle of walls more than one meter wide and two meters high. With this defensive wall, we can all sleep soundly. If the beast comes, it will wake us up before it rushes in.
Back in the shack, the two women had taken off their skins and put on their old clothes.
Above of Chest of Li Wanxue, with the gauze of coxal below is translucent, look to have a few minutes hazy feeling, very temptation. If there weren't someone else around, I'd do it.
After sitting by the fire for more than an hour, Li went to bed.
I then to zong cloth they two say: "you also go to rest early."
After we both yawned, I sat down next to Li Wanxue and wrapped my arms around her slender waist.
Li Wanxue twisted her waist and whispered, "They are all there."
"It's nothing." I don't think my movements were out of place.
Li Wanxue yawned. "Let's go to sleep, too. I didn't sleep much last night.
"You go ahead, then, and I'll put the fire together."
Li wanxue looked that way and kissed me on the cheek before getting up and walking away.
I've added thick sticks that aren't as dry, and they'll keep the fire burning for at least half the night.
Because of the width of the shack, we had to make a large bedspread out of skins inside. Li Wanxue and I are the separation line between men and women.
This night is particularly quiet, a sleep to daybreak. Zombo, who had woken up before, was sitting by the fire in a shack as warm as if it were air-conditioned. This effect mainly comes from the isolation effect of the skins.
As I got up and walked towards the fire, there was a crash overhead and a pit in the hide.
We went out one after another, only to find that the beast had been completely covered with snow, and the sky was snowing again. Because of the heat in the shack, a piece of snow broke up and slipped down.
When we cleared the snow with branches, the skins swelled out.
Back at the entrance of the barn, we took out the meat and started to cook breakfast.
"Why is it so cold?" Li Wanxue sat up as she combed her hair.
"So cold, so cold." Li Yunna also wrapped herself in the skin and got up.
"It won't be too cold. Go back to sleep." I went out to search for smooth stones. He found five stones, cleaned them with snow, and set them around the fire. The horse leg meat is then cut into large pieces like steaks and placed on flat stones, which are heated by fire to cook.
I always feel a little nauseous when I eat too much smoked food. The seeds are bubbling up in the oven, and the seasoning gives it a wonderful smell.
