Crossing over reveals a waste's difficult journey home
Chapter 193 Buff stacked up
Seeing that using snow walls to block the wind seemed to have some effect, Jiang Tuan continued to think about building a house with snow to make the place where he stayed more comfortable.
Just because it is easy for others to do something, it is extremely difficult for me to do it myself. He finally built half of the roof, but it collapsed before he could test whether it was useful. He did it again without giving up, but it collapsed again.
He was very tired, very angry, and very aggrieved, and he didn't understand why it was not working. Fortunately, he knew that he couldn't give up at this time, because if he gave up, he would probably freeze to death.
After thinking about it, he decided not to make something so complicated. He simply piled up a small hill of snow that was more than half a person high, and used a dagger to dig a hole in the hill.
This was much more convenient and faster than before, and soon a space large enough for him to nestle in appeared in the hill.
Jiang Tuan was very tired, not only tired but also hungry and thirsty. He looked around and didn't care whether it looked good or comfortable or not, he just climbed in.
The space in the snow nest was very small, and he curled up hard to barely squeeze himself in.
It was stuffy and uncomfortable inside, and had nothing to do with comfort, but it was much more comfortable than the cold wind and snow outside.
Panting heavily, Jiang Tuan took out a mooncake from the purse he carried with him, intending to replenish his energy.
This mooncake was specially made for him by Jia Yao before he left. Knowing that he didn't like sweets very much, she made a salty one for him.
It contains roasted melon seeds, rice, millet and other things, with salt and some special seasonings from Daxia. It sounds a bit strange but tastes okay.
He had originally planned to eat on the way, but he felt very carsick in the first half of the journey and didn't want to eat at all. In the second half, Jiang Huai fell ill and he was so anxious and irritated that he didn't even think about eating.
When he arrived at Yingshan, he quickly took a look and found that the mooncakes were not rotten but had become hard.
Jiang Tuan had been in Daxia for such a long time and had been out of the palace twice. He had seen the hardships of the people's lives and could not bear to throw away the mooncakes made of oil, salt, sugar and eggs. He felt that he would be struck by lightning if he did so.
So he decided to eat the mooncake as a snack when he was bored. Anyway, it was very hard and took a lot of time to eat one, so it was definitely a good thing to kill time and satisfy his empty stomach.
For the above purpose, he put two pieces in his sack, but they were blown away by the wind before he could eat them on the way.
He was now very grateful for his frugality, which was rewarded for his good character. In this desperate situation, he still had food to eat and would not starve to death for a while.
He ate the mooncake carefully, even picking up the ginger crumbs that fell on him and eating them carefully. Even so, he didn't dare to eat too much. He put the mooncake back after eating about a quarter.
He didn't know how long he would have to stay here, for he was afraid that if he accidentally finished eating and no one came to find him, he would starve to death.
I don't know how long I spent making the snow nest. I ate something and grabbed a handful of clean snow as water. By the time I was done with all this, it was almost dark.
Jiang Tuan thought about it and realized that they had set out from Yingshan early in the morning and walked for about half a day. They encountered snow and wind and decided to return. Then he was blown away.
Even though it was winter and it got dark early due to the wind and snow, a rough estimate is that he should have been here for at least two or three hours.
But after such a long time, he still didn't see anyone coming to find him, nor did he hear anyone calling out to him.
At this moment, he missed the system very much. Even if it was just an invisible and intangible program, at least it could keep him company. Moreover, the system was so smart that it might be able to help him out of the predicament.
But it was no use thinking about it anymore. The system couldn't get in touch. He tried to make fun of himself and thought that if he died, and the system came back to find that the host was gone, would the program be disrupted?
The more Jiang Tuan thought about it, the more pessimistic he became. He felt that he couldn't think about it any further. If he kept going like this, he would collapse before anyone could save him.
So he began to comfort himself, thinking that in such a heavy snowstorm, the people looking for him might not be able to tell the direction, so he needed to hold on a little longer. Maybe someone would come when the snow stopped.
After comforting himself, he decided to take a nap, firstly to restore his strength, and secondly so that he wouldn't think so much when he fell asleep.
But it was too cold here. Even though he was wearing thick clothes and this small snow cave was warmer than outside, it was not easy to fall asleep.
He didn't know how long it was before it was completely dark. He finally closed his eyes with fear and anxiety, but not long after, he was awakened by the howling of wolves.
It was a dark and windy night with heavy snow and wild beasts roaming in the wilderness. All the buffs were almost fully stacked up and it would seem a shame if nothing happened to live up to the atmosphere.
In fact, Jiang Tuan had heard the howling of wolves many times along the way, and had even seen with his own eyes the green eyes of wolves flashing in the dark night. In addition, he had faced tigers before, so he was not particularly afraid just by hearing this howl.
But he was with a lot of people before, and the howling of wolves was not so intermittent and not so shrill. But now he was alone, with only a dagger in his hand, and he didn't even know if he could use it well. It would be strange if he was not afraid.
He first used his hands to gather the surrounding snow to the entrance of the cave to hide himself, and then kept praying to all the gods to let the wolves stay away from him, or to prevent them from discovering him due to the wind and snow.
He didn't know how much time had passed. When the wolf's howling gradually disappeared and he thought he could finally breathe a sigh of relief, he heard a sound that did not belong to the wind and snow.
The sound came from far away and was very regular, making him tense again. He was afraid that the wolves had smelled him and were coming to find him.
Jiang Tuan was very scared. His hand holding the dagger kept shaking, his teeth chattering, and his emotions were extremely tense. Just when the string in his heart was about to break, he heard the sound of horses snorting.
After sitting in the car for a long time, he became very familiar with this voice. He was stunned for a moment, and then he was ecstatic.
Does the presence of a horse mean that there are people? And in this kind of weather, it seems that there is no one else here except those who are looking for him.
He was very excited when he thought of this, but he held back his howl when he thought of the wolf howling before, and instead shouted softly: "I'm here, I'm here."
After Jiang Tuan shouted, he waited quietly for a while. He felt that the voice was getting closer and more excited. He felt that this was the person who was looking for him.
As for why he didn't reply, he gave himself the answer that the other party was also afraid of alerting the wolf pack.
It was snowing and the sky was dark, so he couldn't see clearly what was happening outside. He just waited quietly for a while. He felt a large black shadow approaching his snow cave and there was a thud, as if something had fallen to the ground.
