There is no village in front and no shop behind. Our so-called world's best off-road vehicle, Hanma H3, a big metal guy that claims to be able to work normally around the clock, just completely froze on the side of this road.
I made an estimate. I remember that the last time I saw a building on the side of the road was a stop at the foot of the mountain on the east side of Yulong Snow Mountain, where there were parking lots, gas stations, restaurants and the like. But that is probably the only place within a radius of tens of miles where we might ask for help.
Unfortunately, I clearly remember that an hour has passed since we passed there before. According to my cruising speed of 80 kilometers per hour just now, we should be about 80 kilometers away from that place...
Eighty kilometers, walking 80 kilometers on the wilderness road at night, by the time we reach it, it is estimated that the sky is almost bright.
When I fell into that ditch in the ancient town of Lijiang, the mobile phone on my body had already entered the water, and it was completely finished. And Fang Nan... I glanced at her, and Fang Nan took out her mobile phone innocently and shook it at me: "It's out of battery."
Depend on!
At this moment, it was completely dark, and there are plateau wilderness everywhere, and the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is in the distance, and we stood on this road, and I waited in place for nearly an hour...
Not even a passing car.
It is still very cold to spend the night in the wilderness of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau! Especially since we are still at the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and now, it is the season of early spring, and the temperature is not high. At night, the temperature in the wilderness also dropped sharply.
I asked Fang Nan to stay in the car, then turned on the air conditioner, closed the windows and waited. I dug out a flashlight from the trunk, and stood on the side of the road, wrapped in a blanket, waiting.
I started to shiver from the cold, but at this time Fang Nan jumped out of the car and ran to my side, and hugged me involuntarily: "Let's get in the car and wait. Anyway, the sight here is so empty now, if there is a car coming , we can see it from afar.”
I nodded, followed Fang Nan into the car, my wet clothes had dried in the afternoon, I changed into my own clothes, and finally got rid of the half-naked running state wrapped in a blanket.
The two of us leaned together in the car, without turning on the lights, just quietly looking out the window. Neither of us spoke, but Fang Nan rubbed his head against my arms vigorously.
Finally, in the darkness, a strange "cuckoo" sound broke the silence. I just froze for a moment, and there were two more "cuckoo"...
I glanced at Fang Nan, but Fang Nan lowered her head very shyly, gritted her teeth and said, "Yes...it's me! I'm so hungry."
Seeing that I was about to laugh, Fang Nan gave me a sideways glance: "Huh, don't forget, you had lunch at noon, but I didn't eat it! I went to that tavern to eat at noon, who knows When I met you, I ran out without even eating. It’s already evening. I only ate a bowl of oatmeal in the morning…”
I thought about it: "Is there nothing to eat in your car?"
"This is the car of the filming team, because the filming team also has plans to shoot outdoor scenes in the open air, so there are some tools and equipment for wild survival in the car, which are all in the trunk—but there is no food to eat. Alas, there is still Well, there is a jug of mineral water in the back."
Seeing Fang Nan's depressed face, I suddenly felt moved and smiled: "By the way, I remembered, I still have something to eat."
I turned the pocket of my coat over, and sure enough, I pulled out a bag of chocolate wafers.
It just so happens that there is a little girl in our group, and children are always greedy and like to eat snacks. This bag of chocolate wafer biscuits was bought by Yan Di for the little girl before leaving the hotel this morning, but it was conveniently put in my pocket.
The tiny first generation chocolate wafers were not enough to feed two people, luckily the bag of cookies was vacuum packed and not soaked when I fell in the drain. It's just that I forgot I had it on me and accidentally crushed it. After tearing open the package, the original pieces of biscuits turned into crumbs.
But under the hunger, Fang Nan ate deliciously. I felt sorry for her, I didn't eat a single bite, I gave it all to Fang Nan. Fang Nan also finished eating in one gulp of hunger, only to realize that I hadn't eaten, and couldn't help apologizing slightly: "You... ouch, why did I finish eating, you're hungry too."
I just smiled and shook my head: "I don't like to eat these sweet and greasy things."
It seems that God is really trying to get through with us. After a burst of noise, the air conditioner also went on strike one after another. I was annoyed and took a few shots, but the air conditioner still stopped blowing.
"Damn it!" I angrily punched the air outlet of the air conditioner.
The temperature at night is very bright. If there is no air conditioner for such a cold night, I may still be able to survive, but a weak woman like Fang Nan will definitely get sick.
"We must find a way to keep warm." I sighed.
Fang Nan blinked suddenly: "I almost forgot, I still have some good things here!"
She suddenly took out a wine bottle from under the seat! This is a bottle of Chivas Regal 18-year-old whiskey, and it looks like more than half of the bottle.
"Yi? Why do you still have this thing in your car?" I took it over and looked at it.
Fang Nan thought for a while, then suddenly smiled bitterly: "I like to drink a few sips these days when I'm in a bad mood."
I immediately understood what she meant by "in a bad mood". Thinking of this, I put my arms around her.
I let Fang Nan drink a couple of sips, and then I drank a couple of sips myself. The wine rolled into my stomach, and immediately a mass of warmth and heat rose from my chest and abdomen.
I screwed on the cap of the wine bottle: "God knows when we will be rescued, maybe it will be until tomorrow morning, this wine should be saved."
I let go of Fang Nan and jumped out of the car. Immediately, I felt that the temperature outside had dropped a lot. IQ of people in the wilderness, being blown by the cool wind, immediately felt refreshed! But then I realized that I am still warm now, so I will feel the cool wind is very warm, but once I stay in the wilderness at night for a long time, I will be frozen! And, it's not even midnight yet! The real cold time has not come yet!
I held the flashlight in one hand, opened the trunk with the other, and rummaged through a large tool box inside for a long time. Finally, I cheered and found the canvas bag from it. I recognized it. This is An inflatable field tent! Although it is for single use, it can barely be used by two people in this situation.
I dug out another alcohol stove, although there was no alcohol to burn... but fortunately, we still have gasoline in the gas tank of our car!
I found a few more tools, and I took them together.
Thank goodness, there is a lot in the trunk of this off-road vehicle.
I patted the car window, and Fang Nan shouted through the window: "You wait here, I'll go to the side to have a look!"
Using a tube I found, I drew a little gasoline from the gas tank of the car and pumped it into the fuel canister of the alcohol stove. Then, holding the pile of things in my arms, I left the road and walked towards the wilderness on the left.
The wilderness here is hard soil, which is cold and hard to step on. Most of the places are barren land exposed on the surface, with occasional low shrubs.
I stopped about a hundred paces from the car, and the terrain was good. I put down the things in my arms, arranged the flashlight, and pointed it at the open space under my feet. Then I grabbed a tool shovel I found in the trunk and started digging in the ground.
The weather is so cold, the hard soil under the feet is frozen hard! The first shovel went down, and even my arms were a little numb. Fortunately, my strength and physique are much, much stronger than ordinary people.
I dug a shallow hole, then went to the nearby bushes, hacked with a shovel, got a pair of wooden branches, threw these branches in the hole, and then carefully watered a little Gasoline, lit with a lighter...
With a bang, flames sprang up in front of me, and I made an open-air bonfire.
I lit the alcohol stove and boiled some hot water in a stainless steel pot. At this time, I saw Fang Nan jumped out of the car and ran towards me in the distance. When she ran in front of me, I just finished all this and glanced at her: "Why don't you stay in the car?"
"I want to be with you." Fang Nan came over and hugged one of my arms.
"I'm dirty, I shoveled dirt just now."
"No, I don't care, I don't care." Instead of letting go of me, Fang Nan rubbed against me more and more: "What are you doing?"
"It's very simple. Make a fire and then boil some hot water to keep us warm." I smiled and looked at the car in the distance: "Is there nothing else on the car? You put Is the car locked?"
Fang Nan smiled: "It doesn't matter, the car is broken anyway, so who can sneak it away?"
I smiled, but still ran to the car and dug out some useful things from the car. I brought over the blanket, along with a large piece of folded canvas.
I spread the canvas beside the fire, and we sat side by side on it, and warmed ourselves with arms outstretched. I collected some more twigs and used them as firewood, and put them aside for later use.
Although I was still a little hungry, I was very satisfied after drinking some hot water and having a fire to roast in the open air in the wilderness.
