This was the only thing they could eat in the next two days.
Only by experiencing it can a person know what their limit is.
Bai Zhi never knew that she could walk in the snow for a day and a night without eating or sleeping.
At first, she felt numb in her hands and feet, but after walking for a long time, the blood in her body became warm, and her hands and feet were not as cold as before.
When resting in a valley that could shelter from the wind and snow, Bai Zhi asked Hu Lichangtian: “The conditions here are so bad. There is nothing here, all the way, except snow. What do these snow snakes, snow scorpions, wolves, and bears in the snow mountain rely on to survive?”
Hu Lichangtian smiled and said: “There is not only one side in this snow mountain. What you see in front of you is just one of its many sides. These animals have their ability to survive, and there is also a lot of food in this snow mountain, the only food that they can find.”
It turns out that in this ice and snow world, there was another side that their human eyes cannot see, a paradise that only animals that truly live here can reach.
After walking for a day and a night, Bai Zhi and Xiao Qing were completely exhausted, and their pace was getting slower and slower. The three men also lost their previous speed and also slowed down.
Hu Lichangtian walked in the front, and the two guards each supported a girl and walked forward with difficulty.
The water in his arms had long been drunk, his stomach was empty, his feet were weak from hunger, and he looked at the white snow in front of him, just like seeing white rice on the ground.
“Try harder, if I remember correctly, there is an ice lake ahead. Although the lake surface is frozen, as long as you break the ice, there is water to drink underneath, and maybe you can catch fish if you are lucky.”
When they heard that they could get food ahead, the weak four people immediately gained strength and quickly quickened their pace.
Speaking of the front, it seemed that it was only a few steps away, but they walked for an hour before reaching the ice lake.
The ice on the lake was very thick, the kind that could park a large airplane without any problem.
How can they break the ice and catch the fish in the water?
Hu Lichangtian looked at the two guards: “You are good at kung fu, so I’ll leave this to you.”
The two guards were also confused. They were good at kung fu, but now they were tired and hungry, and they didn’t have much strength left. They didn’t have any tools, so how could they break the ice?
Bai Zhi glanced at Xiao Qing. Xiao Qing was wearing a windproof fur hat on her head, and the edge of the long tail hair of the gray fox covered most of her face.
Bai Zhi said: “I remember you had two hairpins on your head?” Xiao Qing’s hair was very thick, and she needed two hairpins to fix it firmly.
She only wore one, and the styles were similar, both of them were ordinary red gold hairpins.
Xiao Qing nodded: “Yes, what’s the matter?”
Bai Zhi said: “Breaking the ice requires sharp tools, and hairpins are just right, bring them here.”
Xiao Qing took off the two hairpins tied the scattered hair with a headband and hid it in the hat.
Bai Zhi also took off her hairpins and handed them to the three men, saying: “Use this chisel to chisel out a small hole first, and then use the sword and wooden shovel to dig deeper.”
Hu Lichangtian looked at the sharp golden hairpin and smiled: “This is a good idea.”
The three men started working, and Bai Zhi and Xiao Qing squatted on the side to watch.
After all, the two guards were young and strong, and they chiseled out a small hole in a short time. They were also very excited. After they had a small hole, they changed their tools, using the sword and wooden shovel, and soon they chiseled out a big hole.
