In the early morning, before the sun rose, a thick fog filled the valley.
In the triangular open space facing the river bank, the tightly closed tent curtain made a slight sound, and the zipper moved, slowly opening a gap from the inside. Then, a small black furry paw stretched out along the gap, and just as it touched the cold wind outside the tent, it paused for an inexplicable moment, and immediately retracted.
Nearly ten minutes later, the door curtain made a sound again, and a badger wearing a sweatshirt and a small hat on his head came out from the gap, then turned around and pulled the zipper on the door curtain back.
Standing up, Wang Ping stared at the white air coming out of his mouth. He turned around and realized that everything around him was white. He turned around and took two steps. He felt a chill on the small pads of his paws. Several tiny ice particles were also stuck in the gaps between his paws.
"Oh my god... No wonder other places are so green, but this one is completely barren."
Wang Ping jumped up and down, running towards the Wrangler with a trembling step. At the same time, he took out the car key, which was bigger than his paw, from the small pocket of his sweatshirt and pressed the unlock key. The car door made a slight sound, and the rearview mirror slowly opened forward.
He opened the car door, shook off the ice on his feet and jumped in. He went straight to the driver's seat and inserted the key into the ignition switch.
It is true that there is hair on the body, but not freezing to death and not feeling cold are two different things. At this time, the temperature in the car is the same as outside, which is also extremely cold. Wang Ping plans to turn on the air conditioner in the car for a while to warm up first.
Perhaps after a night, the heat in the tent had almost dissipated, or perhaps because a badger had opened the door curtain, allowing cool air to get in. Just as the badger was impatiently stepping on the clutch and twisting the key, Gu Laosan in the tent also got up early, opened the door curtain with sleepy eyes, and got out.
"What the hell... What the hell! Why is it snowing?" Someone was blown by the cold wind and noticed the abnormality around him, and immediately started shouting.
Sure enough, with the same idea as the badger, Gu Lang also ran towards the Wrangler trembling, opened the door and got in.
As soon as he sat down on the seat, he saw Wang Ping struggling to press the clutch pedal with both feet in front of him, his head pressed under the dashboard, his arms straightened, barely holding the car key with one claw. Gu Laosan couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Considering the intelligence of a badger, Gu Lang was not surprised that he could start the car. After all, they had been on the road together for several months, so they had learned it by watching. But the shape in front of him was like a picture from an animation, as funny as it could be.
"Why don't you help me quickly? What are you laughing at?" Wang Ping kicked him and simply stopped tinkering with it. He simply stepped around someone's feet and jumped back to the passenger seat.
Gu Laosan was still smiling as he reached for the key and stepped on the clutch to start the car. There was a sound of the motor turning, but the engine did not respond at all.
Someone didn't take it seriously. It's not uncommon for the engine to fail at the initial start. He turned the key again, but the engine still didn't respond.
“Emm…” The smile gradually disappeared from someone’s face.
Gu Laosan and Wang Ping looked at each other and saw a trace of confusion on each other's faces.
"Maybe it was too cold last night and the engine oil froze..."
Perhaps because he was afraid that the badger would misunderstand, Gu Laosan opened his mouth to explain.
"What should we do then?" Wang Ping scratched his head, looking confused.
Turning his head to look outside the car, he saw that Gu Lang had already opened the entire door curtain when he got out of the tent. He estimated that even if he went back now, it would not be warm inside.
Half an hour later.
Netizens who entered the live broadcast room one after another said good morning while looking at a badger wrapped in a small blanket, with only a small head with a hat showing, squatting on a small stool next to the fire.
Thanks to the hail last night, the bonfire outside the tent went out before it was completely burned out, saving Gu Laosan the time of collecting firewood. However, because it was a bit damp, the flames did not grow big at this time, and when the wind blew, billowing white smoke spread everywhere, choking a badger and making it cough.
But even though he coughed, Wang Ping remained calm and curled up in the blanket, refusing to move.
Gu Laosan originally wanted to get a charcoal brazier to roast the engine, but after searching for a long time, the only container in the car was a camping pot. He had no choice but to put on his thickened jacket, put on gloves and walked to the foot of the mountain, intending to pick up some dry firewood. Since he couldn't get a charcoal brazier, he simply got a longer piece of wood and burned it into charcoal to roast it.
Watching Gu Laosan's back disappear into the mist, Badger tightened his blanket again, not thinking of going down to help. But at this moment, someone's cry came from the mist.
"Haha, it's not that easy to trick me into doing work!"
Wang Ping simply pulled the small hat on his head, pretending that he couldn't hear anything.
"Boss! Come here quickly! Look what I found!" Someone shouted at Wang Ping in the thick fog.
"Guess whether I believe it or not?" The badger rolled his eyes silently in his heart. At this time, some branches had been dried up, and the bonfire was gradually getting stronger, roasting Wang Ping's little fur face so hot that he didn't want to move even more.
After a while, footsteps were heard and Gu Laosan ran back from the fog, his feet slipping and he almost fell to the ground.
"Boss, I found a dog over there!"
Wang Ping: ... Isn't that a bad excuse? Why didn't you say you found a lion
He sighed and was about to turn over in the blanket and pretend to be dead, but an idea suddenly popped up in his mind. Thinking of where he was at the moment, Wang Ping got up in a hurry.
"The dog... could it be a Tibetan mastiff?"
A badger threw off the blanket and jumped off the ground, and hurriedly ran out at Gu Laosan's call. But someone turned around and ran a few steps, thought about it, and then ran back to the campfire and picked up the tablet.
"What the hell, what are you doing with that shit? If it's really a Tibetan Mastiff, we have to run away!"
A certain badger jumped up and down, watching Gu Lao San hurriedly running to the northeast, and hurried to catch up. However, Gu Lang only ran less than a hundred meters before squatting on the ground, seemingly still saying something to the netizens in the live broadcast room.
Wang Ping walked closer with his short legs and saw an animal lying on the ground in front of Gu Lang.
"It doesn't look like a Tibetan Mastiff..."
Going around Gu Lang, the badger shook his little feet, kicked the small ice particles on the ground to make a gap and stepped on them, then looked up. On the ground in front of him, a gray-white wild wolf was lying there quietly. From the angle of the body, the badger could see at a glance that the wolf's waist was broken and it was dead.
"So, the reason you're yelling is because you saw a dead wolf?" Wang Ping felt depressed, and his stomach started to growl.
"Hmm... Isn't it too greasy to eat wolf meat in the morning?"
