Chapter 1256 1256. Xuelin Has a Family (55)

Siberia is very cold, and every time they stop for a break, they have to light a fire to keep warm.

Although they had already brought some solid fuel with them before the trip, it was not too much. When they saw a forest appearing, they stopped to collect some dry wood.

There is a lot of snow in the tundra, and even more in the woods.

Han Kewei and the other Nenets jumped out of the car. They looked at the white and green forest and smiled. They raised their guns and said, "If we're lucky, we'll have fresh meat to eat."

This is a large pine mixed forest, which is mainly composed of pine trees with pine needles, and other cold zone trees such as birch and spruce. The species are relatively single, but they grow well.

Li Du and the others got out of the car to collect firewood. There were many dead trees in the woods. This was their goal. They cut down these trees and collected them on the roof of the car, which would become their source of heating in the future.

There are many animal footprints in the snow. After all, it is spring in terms of solar terms. Some animals wake up from hibernation, and more animals have been hungry all winter. They are anxious to find some food when the weather is slightly warmer.

Li Du walked into the woods carelessly, and Woody warned: "Be careful, buddy, bears wake up in spring, they are very hungry at this time, but they are very fierce bastards."

After hearing this, Li Du became cautious, and said in surprise, "I didn't see any bear footprints, so there will be bears appearing at this time?"

Hankway and others laughed, and he said: "Don't listen to Woody's nonsense, buddy, it's okay now, bears will appear in summer. Look at the snow, if there are any animal footprints on the snow, then there will be some animals."

Li Du couldn't recognize him, so Brother Wolf introduced him: "This is a wild goat, this is a rabbit, this should be a pheasant, oh, you really have to be careful, there are footprints of a manul!"

The mantle is a ferocious beast in Siberia. It is not very big, weighing at most five or six kilograms, but it is extremely good at hunting and is one of the killers among cats.

Hankway and his party took the lead. They walked through the woods with difficulty. The snow was so deep that they couldn't even reach their calves.

Not long after walking, Han Kewei suddenly said in surprise: "Hey, Subtitle Wuyou! There is Subtitle Wuyou here, we are really lucky!"

Li Du was puzzled: "Worry-free subtitles? What do you mean? Is there a translator living here?"

Everyone couldn't understand his cold humor. Hankway pointed to a tree in front of him and said, "Zimovyo, should I say that in English? Actually, this is the local dialect, which means 'a hunter with a warm house in the woods'."

A small red flag was hung on the tree. In this world of only white, gray and green, red was very conspicuous, and everyone could see it at a glance.

Hankway said that this is the symbol of the jungle hunters. They will hang the red flag in the place where they live, one is to show their respect for the Soviet Red Army, and the other is to facilitate people to find their tracks.

Jungle hunters are one of the merchant groups in the wilderness. They make a living by trading prey, collected plants, and handicrafts.

Sometimes they will also act as second-hand dealers, selling some necessities such as fuel brought in from outside to those who need them. Of course, the price is very high.

The Nenets rejoiced at the sight of the red flag.

The jungle hunter can not only provide goods, but the place where he lives can often provide bathing services, which is very attractive to a group of people.

Although I wear thick clothes to block the dust, the wind and dust blow up on the wasteland from time to time, and the dust is pervasive, and it will always get into the clothes.

And because they wear a lot, sometimes there is no wind and the temperature does not cool down, they will feel hot and sweat naturally, but even if they sweat, they dare not take off their clothes, because it is uncertain when the temperature will cool down, and once they take off their clothes, they will easily catch a cold and have a fever .

In such an extreme environment, if he caught a cold and had a fever, it would really kill him. That's why Li Du didn't want to go out to explore. This was just making himself guilty.

Led by Hankway and others, they trekked through the snowy forest for more than half an hour, and finally found a group of wooden houses in the forest.

There were a total of six wooden houses that appeared in their field of vision. The houses were arranged in a square shape, and there were piles of neatly stacked dry logs inside. Several dogs were tied next to the houses, and they immediately barked when they saw someone approaching.

During the past two and a half days, Aao's sons and daughters have been extremely boring. They can only go out for a run when they are out and resting. They are usually huddled in the car, unable to run and have no playmates.

Seeing a few dogs at this moment, several bastards stared wide-eyed, swished and ran over, each threw down a dog, and the hounds screamed in fright.

An old man with a white beard came out of the room, waving a shotgun and shouting in Russian.

Han Kewei also shouted in Russian, and Li Du called back a few bastards.

Holding the gun, the old man looked at them vigilantly, and told them to stay outside for him to observe for about two minutes before coming out to wave.

Afterwards, a few more people appeared, from their forties to their sixties, they were all big, strong, strong men, and of course, they all carried guns in their hands.

Hankway went to negotiate with them, and one of them could speak English, made hot coffee for everyone, and said, "Come and have a cup of coffee to warm up, friends from afar, welcome to Papa Zavic's hut. "

The old man who came out at the beginning was named Zavic. Of course, his name is very long. Generally, they introduce it to foreigners as Zavic, which is simple and easy to remember.

The texture of the coffee is ordinary, but in this environment, some drinking is enough to satisfy people.

Li Du took a sip of the fragrant hot coffee, then took a deep breath and said, "Enjoy!"

Hankway came back later and said, "What do we want to add? There are quite a lot of things here, including diesel, gasoline, kerosene, solid ethanol, coal, coke, and sun-dried pork, mutton, and dried fish..."

"Can I take a bath?" Little Ford was more concerned about this question.

Hankway smiled and nodded: "Yes, five hundred rubles each."

Five hundred rubles is not a small amount, converted to about 50 RMB. In Irkutsk, where they stayed before, a donut cost more than 10 rubles. Converted, a bath here costs 50 yuan. Have a donut.

But the price is within the acceptable range, and it's not a rip off. Little Ford nodded, but said in his mouth: "It's too expensive, tell them, we have a lot of people, 400 rubles per person, and we all wash it."

There are about forty of them in a group, and if they all take a bath, the hunters can indeed make a fortune.

The business was quickly settled, and for four hundred rubles, everyone could go and take a hot bath.

In addition, the jungle hunters can help prepare a lunch, which is 1,000 rubles per person, with wine and meat, and they will definitely be full.
