After the blue smoke was swept away, Maureen took a deep breath and felt refreshed. Ying Xiao went out again. He didn''t know where to get the chimney back. He put it on the smoke outlet of the stove and connected it with the hole hit by Lu Ping. But Ying Xiao seemed very satisfied with it and clapped his hands with a proud look.
"I''ll be on my way after a break, or I''ll spend the night here." He turned and asked Lu Ping.
Lu Ping and Su Tang didn''t answer. They all looked at Maureen. Maureen trembled and said, "is the place far?"
"It''s not too close. Even if the road is flat, you probably won''t arrive until dark." Ying Xiao said.
"Can''t you talk well?" Maureen was upset. Ying Xiao''s words obviously meant that Lu Ping walked faster with him than himself.
"In that case, let''s wait until dawn tomorrow?" Su Tang looked at Lu Ping and said.
"Yes." Lu Ping nodded, indicating that it was meaningless.
"Go tomorrow..." Ying Xiao heard their decision, but looked a little embarrassed.
"Is there any inconvenience?" Asked Su Tang.
"If I go tomorrow, don''t I have to get you dinner?" The camp roared bitterly.
"We still have some food here." Su Tang patted the package beside her and said.
"That''s great." Ying Xiao immediately sat down happily.
"What do you usually eat here?" Maureen was curious. After passing Yandang Mountain, I saw ice and snow, no plants and no animals. Maureen couldn''t think of what their food was.
"The search and hunting team will go out to hunt regularly. There are still some animals in the snow field. But the vegetables eaten in the pass are very rare, only snow vegetables. " Ying Xiao said.
"What is sauerkraut?" Maureen continued to wonder.
"Occasionally, in some places where the snow layer is thin, shovel the snow layer away. It is a plant growing on the ice soil." Ying Xiao said.
"Is it delicious?" Asked Maureen.
"It''s precious to us, but your words..." Ying Xiao shook his head. After all, he walked through the customs and saw the food and delicious food in the customs. The plants they call snow vegetables are precious to them, but compared with all kinds of vegetables, melons and fruits in the pass, they are just weeds.
"Won''t you get something from the customs?" Su Tang immediately asked.
"Occasionally. But if you can''t cultivate and reproduce, it doesn''t make much sense after all. " Ying Xiao said.
"It''s hard." Su Tang said.
"I''m afraid the predecessors thousands of years ago worked harder. We are much better now. At least there are such things." Ying Xiao pointed to the stove.
The three nodded and said nothing more. Then Su Tang took out the food in the package and divided it among the four. Eating, he found that yingxiao didn''t even have water here. Ying Xiao had to run out again, bring back the boiler water and take four cups.
"Are you robbing the man surnamed Wang?" Said Maureen.
"Of course." Ying Xiao replied very naturally.
The three of Lu Ping imagined that the one who was at home was rushed in and thrown out by Ying Xiao. Then they came once and robbed something. They came once and robbed something. Somehow, they thought it was a little funny.
After eating, there was nothing to do, so they had their own rest. Night fell with the wind and snow, and the howling of the cold wind sounded like the roar of a monster in the room. Lu Ping listened to the voice and recalled the beginning, but she couldn''t remember whether she had heard such a voice when she was locked in the cell of the organization.
"Sleep." Su Tang said as if he knew what he was thinking.
"Well, let''s go early tomorrow." Lu Ping said. Thinking that he might be close to the organization, Lu Ping found that he could not be as calm as he had always been. Not because of hatred, nor because of fear, but seeing the dawn of crushing the boulder that has been pressing on his heart for many years, he couldn''t help feeling excited and looking forward to it.
There was no word all night, only the occasional crackle of the fire, making a rebellious sound in the bleak cold wind.
The next morning, led by Ying Xiao, the three were ready to go. Before leaving, they saw the eight elders again, but they didn''t come to talk to them, just nodded slightly. The eyes of the people in the village are still on guard.
Yingxiao said roughly where he was going. It was not in the village, but a mineral spot when he was looking for Blackstone. Ying Xiao was in charge of the guard of the mine and lived there. He accidentally found these medicinal mud.
Left the village, crossed the glacier and continued to go north. In the afternoon when the snow stopped, Ying Xiao pointed to the front: "it''s this way."
There are countless huge pits dug out in front, but according to Ying Xiao, no black stone was found in this mine at first, so it was soon abandoned. Only he came to search from time to time after he found the magic medicine. But after the mud lost its efficacy, he came much less. Every time I came, I looked forward to seeing if the mud had recovered its magic effect, but I was completely disappointed in the end.
Followed yingxiao to a huge pit. Yingxiao pointed to an ice house that had been crushed opposite: "I used to live there."
"Where''s your magic medicine?" Lu Ping said.
"Right in front of you." Ying Xiao said.
"Ah?"
"This is it!" Ying Xiao stretched out his hand and pointed down, but because of the heavy snow, everywhere was snow-white. He couldn''t see anything at all.
"In the past, this piece was surrounded by frozen soil. It was just a piece of mud. But not now. " Ying Xiao jumped down as he spoke. As a result, he heard a pop. His body didn''t fall half directly, and the sound was obviously not what he should make when jumping into the snow.
"Shall I go?" Ying Xiao was surprised at first, but soon showed an excited look. He twisted his body twice and immediately looked up at four: "come and see! The magic medicine is back! "
Lu Ping frowned. Instead of jumping down like Ying Xiao, they slid down carefully along the edge of the pit. Ying Xiao had already jumped out of the at this time, and the place to his knee was covered with mud. He grabbed a handful and put it in front of his nose to smell. He immediately confirmed: "yes, it is!" With a vigorous wave of his palm, the snow layer covered in this piece was immediately pushed away. You can clearly see a small mire, which appears strangely in a piece of hard frozen soil.
Lu Ping and Su Tang each bent and picked up a handful of mud. After sniffing, they exchanged eyes. Lu Ping jumped into the pit again and looked around.
The relationship between this quagmire and the organization can be basically locked. Four years ago, when Lu Ping and Su Tang escaped, the experiment was suspended and the drugs were no longer used, so the quagmire gradually lost its magical effect. In recent years, Ying Xiao has always paid attention to this place, which shows that at least the experimental base from which Lu Ping and Su Tang escaped has not carried out experiments in these years.
But now, the mire has recovered. Has the experimental base that imprisoned them resurrected?
"When was the last time you came here?" Su Tang roared at the camp.
