Chapter 106: Cold Frost

After thinking about it, Mu Qingshan turned around and walked towards the jungle on the river bank. The water in the pond was frozen and condensed, and the temperature was extremely cold. If you didn't settle down as early as possible, at night, the low temperature alone would be a big trouble.

Bai Bing and Xiao Ying followed Mu Qingshan, and the three of them stepped into the jungle on the river bank. The snow was covered with snow everywhere. Every step was on it, a deep snow nest. They pulled away the dead branches blocking in front of them. The dead branches broke in response to the sound. The snow on the branches rustled down, sprinkled on the three of them, and their shoulders were covered with snow-white patches.

Mu Qingshan looked around and finally found a thick tree. He climbed up the tree's body in a few seconds, chose a strong branch, and kicked it hard. The snow on the tree fell one after another.

Bai Bing and Xiao Ying stood under the tree and looked at the guy in confusion, not understanding what he was doing.

After choosing the location to build a nest, Mu Qingshan jumped off the tree and said in a rough voice: "You two come to the nearby area to pick up some dry firewood and spend the night on this tree tonight."

"Suspension on the tree?" Xiao Ying couldn't help but shout. He thought in his mind that spending night in the mountains was nothing more than lighting a bonfire and then taking a nap around the bonfire. Is it necessary to go to the tree to get frozen? Moreover, it is the late winter now, and most of the insects, snakes and beasts disappeared silently. It was a meaningless move to run to the tree to spend the night.

Before Mu Qingshan could answer, Bai Bing had already knocked Xiao Ying's head hard and whispered: "Where did you get so much nonsense? Get the firewood!"

When Xiaoying carried a large bundle of dead branches back under the tree, Muqingshan had already built a tree nest on the branches, and the size was only allowed to enter one person.

It is difficult to find suitable materials this season. Fortunately, Mu Qingshan knows how to use materials locally. He keeps breaking down the branches around him, and finally builds such a strange thing.

When Xiaoying saw someone raising such things on a tree for the first time, he shouted at Mu Qingshan: "Hey, brother, are you trying hard? We brought a portable tent and just squeeze it out."

Mu Qingshan smiled and said, "No need, it's going to be dark. Your tent is afraid it won't be a problem. The cold wave in this mountain is very powerful."

Bai Bing also came over with a small bundle of dry firewood. When he heard the conversation between the two, he frowned and said, "Big brother, do you mean the three of us are squeezed into the tree? Crush into your nest?"

Mu Qingshan jumped off the tree without saying much, pulling out the snow under the tree, revealing a tree hole that is narrow on the outside and wide on the inside.

"My surname is Mu. Just call me Brother Mu. Put the hay into the tree hole. You two will sleep inside at night. Remember to create a fire at the entrance of the hole. The cold wave at night is very strong and people outside the mountain can't resist it."

Xiao Ying shook twice with disdain, cleaned the inside and outside the tree hole, then took some insect repellent from the backpack and sprinkled it on it, confirming that there were no insects or snakes, then spread the hay in the tree hole, and finally buckled it on it with a tent, then waved his hand to signal Bai Bing to drill in.

The space in this tree cave is relatively small, and it is a bit difficult to accommodate two people, so Xiaoying just watched Bai Bing drill in, then took out the simple tent himself and started to set up his own tent.

Bai Bing crawled into the tree hole and felt nothing was wrong. He poked his head out and Mu Qingshan and Xiao Ying were already starting to make fire.

Xiaoying's backpack was filled with solid fuel, and the two of them quickly set up a bonfire, and the snow-covered surroundings were shining brightly and crystal clear. Seeing that Xiaoying was unwilling to enter the tree hole, Mu Qingshan did not force her. After raising the fire, she greeted her and jumped up to the tree.

Xiao Ying was guarding the fire, feeling the heat was so hot that she secretly laughed at Brother Mu for exaggerating. The fire was burning. What could it do if the weather was cold?

When the fire gradually became smaller, Xiao Ying himself became a little tired. He rushed for a day in the wind and snow, saying that he was not tired was false. He carefully observed the surroundings of the fire and confirmed that there was no possibility of the fire spreading. Then he threw all the remaining firewood and dry grass into the fire. Xiao Ying yawned, got back into the tent, and fell asleep with peace of mind.

Anyway, there are no wild animals in this season when the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, so there is no need to watch at night. Moreover, within a radius of ten meters, the Eagle is confident that it can wake up as soon as possible. Soon, only the crackling sound of the fire burning wet firewood was left in the air, and everything was extremely quiet.

I don’t know how long it took, but Xiao Ying just felt in a daze that he was having a nightmare. He dreamed that someone was stabbing him with countless small needles. No matter how loud he shouted, he couldn’t scream. In fear, Xiao Ying struggled hard, opened his eyes suddenly, woke up, reached out to pat the ground, and felt a stinging feeling.

With the cold moonlight, Xiao Ying suddenly found that the entire ground was covered with white frost. He was shocked and wanted to stand up, but found that his limbs and bones were a little out of control. After a while, he could only sit up. It turned out that after a while, his joints were a little numb. He tried to transport his breath in his mouth and found that in addition to the slightly warmth in his heart, the temperature in his body was scary.

Xiao Ying was very anxious and forced to climb outside the tent. There was still a slight thought in his heart. There was a fire outside the tent! When Xiao Ying got out of the tent half of his body, the scene in his eyes shocked him. The frost in the mountains was really amazing, and it was unheard of. Not only did the fire have been extinguished, but even the burned charcoal was covered with a layer of white frost that could be seen in the naked eye.

Looking through the hazy starlight, the sky was filled with crystal white frost. On the contrary, there was no white frost on the branches covered with snowflakes.

It turns out that this winter snow can be used as a protective layer for trees in the cold. The green mountains above the big trees and the white ice in the tree holes are also protected.

There has always been a saying in the northern farmer that when the tender buds of wheat are covered with snow, they can actually prevent freezing. This is what we mean.

Xiao Ying didn't expect that the cold tide and frost in the deep mountains was so powerful. He was so enormous that he actually started to talk. Originally, the moisture in the mountains was heavy, not to mention that it was on the edge of the ice pool. In the second half of the night, the frozen air condensed by the water vapor flowed into the jungle, which was really amazing.

Fortunately, the Eagle is a martial arts practitioner after all, and the body naturally reacts with a hint of alertness. If it is an ordinary person, he will be frozen to death in the mountains and forests without realizing it.

Just as the Eagle was regretting it, a figure jumped down from the tree, it was Mu Qingshan.

Mu Qingshan just took a nap and woke up when the fire went out. He deliberately came down for more than ten minutes in the evening. This time it was just a small punishment and a big warning to let the little boy know the power of the jungle, and see if he dared to do his own thing.

Ignoring the frozen shattering of the zodiac sign, Mu Qingshan took out a bundle of hay from behind the tree, and soon caught a fire. As the fire broke out again, the temperature rose, and the face of the zodiac sign gradually became heavier and bloody again.

Xiao Ying looked at Brother Mu with a complicated look on his face. He saw Mu Qingshan pulling out the fire a few times, making the fire grow stronger, and then climbing up the tree to sleep.

Xiao Ying was tough and refused to go back to the tree hole to disturb Bai Bing's rest. Instead, he kept running around the fire, throwing the branches, grass and leaves around him into the fire from time to time to keep the fire strong.

A whole night passed, and when dawn broke out in the east and the first ray of dawn flashed into the forest, Xiaoying finished his homework. Looking up, unknowingly, within ten meters of the surrounding area, all the materials that could be burned were thrown into the fire.

Mu Qingshan jumped down from the tree and looked at the young Xiaoying with red eyes, and felt a little funny. Compared to Xiao Jun's shrewdness and strength back then, this kid was so stupid and cute.

At this time, Bai Bing also woke up and crawled out of the tree hole. The little girl slept in the tree hole all night. It was rare that her appearance was still so neat, with a calm expression as if she had just come out of the presidential suite of a five-star hotel.

Xiao Ying was almost frozen to death last night. Although she was forced to run away for a whole night, she was still grateful to Mu Qingshan. After all, Mu Qingshan warned first and made a fire to save him later. And the most rare thing is that Brother Mu did not mention anything about what happened last night, which made this stubborn boy feel a little face in front of the girl.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ying took out the food from his backpack, first distributed it to Bai Bing, and then divided the remaining portion in his hand into two and handed it to Mu Qingshan.

Mu Qingshan was not polite either. He took a few mouthfuls and swallowed them, wiped his mouth and said, "We can set off!"

Mu Qingshan led the way, Bai Bing and Xiao Ying followed closely behind, walked for about a few minutes, and arrived at Tianlang Pond.

"Ah!" Bai Bing's eyes were sharp, and he noticed the little animal on the ice of Tianlang Pond at a glance, and couldn't help but exclaim.

It was a small animal like a squirrel, walking on the ice layer on the pond. When Bai Bing heard a scream from afar, it seemed that it was frightened, and it was so scared that it fell on the ice layer and fell down, looking like a silly look.

The little animal looked around in panic and found that there was no threat to it. She quickly stood up and rushed past the ice like an arrow, running away to the point of disappearing.

Bai Bing looked at the silly mouse from afar and giggled.

Mu Qingshan thought to himself that although these two children came from aristocratic families, they were actually not bad at heart. Maybe they were really worried.

The three of them stepped onto the ice, Mu Qingshan led the way, Bai Bing and Xiao Ying followed carefully, for fear of taking the wrong step.
