like a tipping point.
After crossing the critical point, the world in front of them seemed to have changed.
The sand under their feet can no longer be seen, and it snows almost every night, and the next day no amount of sun can melt the snow and ice, and they trudge through the snow every day.
It can be said that without these pack beasts, they might be trapped in this snow field.
But they don't have to wait for now, they can't avoid the first sudden heavy snow. If those pack beasts didn't take the initiative to use their bodies to protect them from the cold wind, they would definitely freeze in the blizzard like other travelers. It might even be sold in the process.
The pack beasts in this desert are not only the pack beasts led by Sand Grain, they have also seen other pack beasts. Just after entering the wind and snow belt, Jihuan saw a group of pack beasts faintly in the snow. Chuo's figure, they were digging out the frozen or even frozen monsters in the snow, and then resisted.
They didn't elaborate on the sand grains, but after thinking about it, they knew that the fate of those monsters would not be good.
At this time, it is especially important to get the sincere help of the pack beasts: the snow here is too deep, the heavy snow covers the ground, and also covers the quicksand traps on the ground. I escaped from the trap, but the time spent struggling in the heavy snow will inevitably drag on, and I don't know if it is the year of the monkey and the month of the horse when I reach the destination.
The car that Jihuan and Ajin ride in has been changed to a sleigh-like bottom, pulled by two experienced pack beasts, and some heavy luggage carts have also been transformed. Made it with Naji, and have been doing business with Naji for several years. The two monsters are now quite skilled together. There are pack beasts who are interested in Grandpa's transformation. Grandpa never hides it, but brings it with him They, let them learn while doing it.
"The snow in Bade Town is also very heavy in winter. At that time, I often took Xiaohua and Xiaohei to sleigh skiing!" It was the baby grandson who rode the sled, and the grandfather was naturally the coolie pulling the sleigh.
The sled was also learned at that time. After standing beside other people's sleds and observing for a long time, he clumsily made a sled.
Then I did it every year until Xiaohua and Xiaohei were old enough to not want to play sledding.
Well, the young and strong grandpa didn't realize that it was his grandchildren who were distressed by his "old age and frailty", but thought that the grandchildren just didn't want to play anymore.
After rebuilding all the existing vehicles, Grandpa looked at his great-grandson who had been obediently lying on the back of his neck. With an idea, he hit a small sled with the extra planks.
After being dragged by Grandpa for a few laps, Heidan completely fell in love with the new game "sledding".
Not only he liked it, but Xiao Huang was also eager to try it. Looking at the two youngest guys in the team, Grandpa threw the sled to them and let the children play by themselves.
First, the small yellow pulls the black egg, and then exchanges, and the black egg pulls the small yellow.
Ji Huan has been paying close attention to Heidan's every move, and when he sees Heidan trying to pull Xiao Huang, he sweats a bit.
"Don't worry so much, although Heidan looks a little squeamish, his strength is very powerful." A Jin said from the side.
really-
Not long after Ah Jin finished speaking, Heidan pulled up the sleigh carrying Xiao Huang!
On the white snow, I saw a little monster the size of a pea bean pulling a pack beast several times his size and running, its calf tumbling fast!
"Xuuuuuu~" The snow was filled with the peculiar laughter of little monsters.
Compared to riding on a sled, Heidan prefers to pull a sleigh. After pulling Xiao Huang, it is not enough, he also pulls Grandpa, and also pulls Naji and Xiao Hui.
By the time everyone was pulled, the little monster was already sweating profusely.
The happy time of the little monsters made the adults around them feel happy. Jihuan found out: I don’t know when, all the monsters in the team have been focusing on these two little monsters, the Yefaer monster, the pack beast Theirs... They have been watching the two little monsters play, with a kindness in their eyes that they may not even know.
The black eggs represent Ye Farr's monsters, while Xiao Huang is the representative of the local monsters. When the two little guys play happily together, the relationship between the adults on both sides is quite harmonious.
Ji Huan was lifting the curtain and looking out, when suddenly there was a rumbling of a kettle inside the car - the water was boiling.
Jihuan brought a portable stove. They usually use this stove to eat. Now it's cold, so Jihuan simply put the stove in the car. He usually boils some hot water. When there is a sip of hot water to drink at any time, the temperature in the car will also be higher.
The sound just now was the sound of water boiling on the stove, Ji Huan was about to pick up the kettle, but A Jin picked up the kettle one step ahead of him.
Taking out a delicate teapot and a few cups from the small cabinet in the car, Ajin brewed tea.
When the black egg jumped from the outside of the car into Chiu Chiu's arms like a small cannonball, the car was filled with the aroma of tea leaves.
The sweaty little monster first raised his head and smiled at Chiu Chiu, then he kept his current action and let Chiu Chiu wipe his face and hands. Monsters~(≧▽≦)/~
Then he asked for water.
Looking eagerly at Mama Chu pouring fragrant hot water into each tea cup, Black Egg found the tea cup he usually drinks tea in, and imitated Mama Chu and blew on the surface of the water, and then grumbled like a grandfather. Gudu drank.
"Ah~" After drinking, he sighed contentedly.
It's not drinking - Ji Huan spit in his heart.
"One more cup!" After drinking, the black egg was still thirsty, so he immediately stretched out the teacup in his paws towards Jiu Ma.
A Jin raised his chin at him, and he obediently put the teacup back on the small coffee table in the car, and A Jin started pouring him a second cup of tea.
The little monster drank a total of four cups before stopping.
He didn't know how expensive tea he was drinking was sold outside, and Black Egg only used it as water to quench his thirst.
After drinking it by himself, the black egg stared at Jiu Ma again.
"Can I invite Xiao Huang and the others to drink water? Xiao Huang, Grandpa, Naji, Huihui, Abu, Mr. Asimu, the house... are all thirsty."
The little monster once again took advantage of his good memory. He named all the monsters that he could name, good guy! This little thing actually remembered the names of most of the monsters in the team.
Of course... more than half of them use nicknames.
Following Huan: =-=
A Jin sprinkled a handful of tea leaves directly into the kettle, and then handed the whole kettle to Hei Dan.
"Be careful not to burn yourself." Ji Huan told him.
"Yeah!" Black Egg responded, struggling to pick up the water bottle with two thin arms, and then climbed down from the sled again.
"Come and drink tea!" Not long after, Ji Huan heard Heidan's small voice shouting loudly from outside, along with the cries of the pack beasts and the cheers of the Yefaer monsters, the black eggs began to be given to everyone. Divided.
Sledding, building snowmen, making ice lanterns…
On the boring snowfield, Grandpa brought black eggs to play all the games played by Xiaohua in Bade Town in winter. So in the eyes of other monsters: Grandpa is really a monster who can play!
The guards on Jihuan's side are mostly young people, and more than half of the pack animals are young people. They were also curious when they watched Grandpa play with two little monsters, so after the rest time, there were a lot of snowmen on the ground. And ice lanterns.
Heidan also asked Jihuan to ask for a few boxes, saying that he was going to bring a snowman to Xiaohong and the others.
Ji Huan felt that the possibility of taking it back was zero, but after all, he still found a box for him, but it was not those ordinary boxes that were handed over to Heidan in the end. A Jin stopped him and found a few more boxes for him.
As a result, several boxes containing gifts were added one after another in the carriage.
When the heavy snow stopped, the ground was exposed again. Although it was still yellow sand, it felt so good to be grounded again. All the Yefar monsters cheered.
The pack beasts were also relieved, even for the pack beasts, the previous journey was a very dangerous journey.
Looking at the road behind him, Jihuan thought: There is either a plateau with a particularly high altitude, or a geographical environment that is difficult to explain with earth knowledge.
The extremely hot and cold polar environment is like a moat, which strictly separates the southwest and northeast of the world.
Soon they saw the pack beast who came to meet them.
"Wow! This team is a big fat sheep! These..." The humanoid pack beast who was in charge of the response started talking before he got close, and while talking, he pointed to the car with luggage behind him: "Are these harvests? ?"
Then he was knocked on the head by a pack beast who took the initiative to walk in front of him.
"Dad, why are you beating me?" The pack beast was not too old, so he raised his head a little aggrieved, and then...
Then he saw the foreign monster riding on his father.
Sober, out-of-place monster.
Responding to a pack beast immediately felt like seeing a ghost!
Although they are the clansmen who are in charge of coordinating here, God knows that they are actually only the clansmen who have returned with a full load. As for those "bosses" who rent pack beasts... They have basically never seen them alive and kicking!
Could it be that the clansmen were kidnapped? The humanoid pack beast in charge immediately became nervous.
In the end, Sand Grain stood up and didn't talk to the young pack beast, but just asked him to take everyone to the place where they settled down.
The pack beasts have a simple station here. Although it is extremely simple, it has a roof in the end.
Some pack beasts that can be successfully transformed into human form are stationed here. On the one hand, they are responsible for receiving the clansmen. On the other hand, they will also take the harvest from the clansmen to sell them in the town every now and then, and buy some necessities with the money from the sales.
"Tomorrow I will personally take you to the town, where there is a railway that was interrupted before, you can take the railway to the big city behind." Giving the only bench in the house to A Jin and his party, Sand Grain respectfully said.
Then... He said what he thought about all the way: "I know that my clan and I still owe you two requirements, but... I still want to try... "
"I wonder if my clansmen will help you? If possible, I want to send some clansmen to follow you. It doesn't matter if you don't pay a salary. I just want them to go out and have a look and learn something. The monsters outside are too cunning. , I don't worry about them going out with any monsters..."
This request sounds like a bit of a slap in the face, but for the sake of the future of the clan, the sand grains still go out and say it.
It is the duty of the patriarch to find a better way out for the clan.
Nervously, he said his petition, and Sand Grain nervously waited for A Jin's answer.
Who knows—
"Our family, Jihuan is handling the employment, you can ask him directly."
After speaking, he nodded, and A Jin left with the black egg.
The rest Jihuan and Sandy looked at each other.
After some thinking, Jihuan finally selected three of the pack beasts. The next day, in the gratitude of the pack beasts, they were led by Sand Grain and the young pack beast who was in charge of escorting them. Beasts say goodbye.
"Goodbye! Miss me!" Sitting in Chiu Chiu's arms, Heidan also said goodbye to his little friend Xiao Huang.
"Egg, I will definitely miss you, and you must also remember Xiao Huang in the desert!"
The two little monsters were talking and crying.
