Chapter 617 Annoying Snow
It has been snowing for three days and three nights, and Dongwozi, which is usually leeward of the wind and snow, has also begun to be covered by thick snow.The most terrible thing is that the temperature has dropped sharply, and the herdsmen have begun to hug those pregnant ewes in the house.

Sheep in pastoral areas usually give birth in early spring, so that the lambs have enough time to grow up and have the physical strength to resist the cold winter in northern Xinjiang.

But in this way, the entire pregnancy period of ewes is basically in winter.The physique of ewes during pregnancy is poorer, so herdsmen will add some feed to them in winter.After all, next year's harvest is all in their stomachs.

But no matter how it is added, it is only complementary food, and sheep still need grass.But with the snow falling like this, how can the sheep have any grass to eat?No grass, coupled with severe cold, this is a devastating blow to the sheep!
All road construction projects in the Corps have been suspended.The cold climate has frozen the ground as hard as a stone, and it cannot be dug.The soldiers all returned to the company and continued their work.

And many companies will also use this weather to start military training and training.There may be people who dismiss this behavior.I think this is grandstanding, but no one will think about it. When a war really happens, no one will look at the seasons and the weather.

Zhang Jianmin walked around the company's Dongwozi all morning.The horse could hardly be ridden, the snow had almost reached the horse's knees, and the horse couldn't run at this depth.Anyway, Dongwozi of the company is not far away, so I can really get in touch with anything.

Back in the house, Li Lian and another companion had already gone to herd the sheep.He looked at his watch, it was already past one noon.So he hurriedly took the basin outside and dug a few basins of snow into the pot as much as possible, and began to steam the steamed buns.

Don't worry that the snow in northern Xinjiang is not clean. For this piece of land without industrial pollution, if the snow water here is tested, it can definitely be quoted.

Due to the gradual increase of coal mines, Dongwozi has begun to burn coal.This thing is resistant to burning and has a high temperature, so the temperature in the room is too hot to wear a coat.

Almost everyone in the Bingtuan can steam steamed buns, including older dolls.Just like the people of the ethnic group can almost make bread, this is the most basic survival skill.

Each of Zhang Jianmin's steamed buns weighs almost half a catty, but each of them has to eat two such steamed buns.

The steamed buns are cooked, and there is still a lot of mutton left over from last night.Zhang Jianmin put the pot on the stove, washed the yams and leather teeth and threw them directly into the pot.

Every winter, a batch of sheep are slaughtered. This is because the pasture in Dongwozi is scarce, and those mature sheep are basically slaughtered at this time.Compared with the previous sheep herders who had no mutton to eat, Zhang Jianmin and his family have several sheep cavity hanging outside their house.I can't finish this.

Li Lian walked into the house hiding his feet: "Jianmin, the snow is too heavy. If this continues, the sheep will not be able to eat grass."

"Well, let's cut some straw bales later, and prepare for not being able to get out!" Zhang Jianmin was already prepared for the worst situation.

After dinner, Zhang Jianmin and Li Lian went out together to change their companions to herd the sheep.The snow is too thick, and one person can't drive the flock of sheep at all, and the head sheep will lose their way in this vast sea of ​​learning.Because everywhere is the same color.

The advantage of Dongwozi is that the flocks are close together.The two of them saw their flock after walking for 10 minutes.Zhang Jianmin yelled, and his companions went to eat. Zhang Jianmin walked up the hill, and Dongwozi herded the sheep. As long as the sheep did not go out of the designated col, there would be no danger.

The places that can be selected as Dongwozi are basically because of the special terrain.Not only leeward, but also in the valley with relatively little snow.But when Zhang Jianmin climbed up the mountain, he already felt that the snow on the hillside had thickened.

Climbing to the top of the mountain, I saw several other sheep in the company.Zhang Jianmin yelled a few times, and the response from there was also transmitted.The sound in the mountains travels farther than in the plains because of the echo.

The top of the mountain is windy and the place with the least snow.Zhang Jianmin heard a few faint calls, looked down and smiled.It turned out that two snow chickens who could not find food were curled up behind a stone, and they were too hungry to fly.

Zhang Jianmin chuckled and held two snow chickens in his hands.He turned a blind eye to the beautiful feathers of the snow chicken, he only knew that it was a rare delicacy.I can't usually catch it.

Seeing the snow chicken in his hand, Huzi also climbed up from the mountainside, running and jumping around Zhang Jianmin.Zhang Jianmin scolded: "You are so promising, at least you can eat it after I cook it?"

Huzi "Wow!" yelled twice, as if answering: "Mentally handicapped owner, who said that dogs must eat cooked food?"

Suddenly, Huzi yelled in one direction.Zhang Jianmin took a look, but didn't see anything clearly.He quickly took off the binoculars hanging from his neck and looked in that direction.

I saw a few gray dots moving in this direction. It turned out that the wolves who could not find food began to approach the human grazing land.

Creatures like wolves are very smart, and they rarely get close to humans in general.They know that this two-legged creature is their most dangerous enemy.Although their combat power is not strong, the weapons in their hands are powerful, and those weapons will cause serious damage to them every time.

Zhang Jianmin frowned, and took off the Type 47 or [-] submachine gun hanging from his shoulder.This gun is an imitation of the Soviet-made AK[-], and its performance is extremely stable.

There were five wolves in this pack, and he wasn't worried about the threat these wolves would bring?But this small pack of wolves is definitely family-based.Such wolves will belong to a certain large wolf pack.Once cornered wolves start converging towards the winter den, the real danger can arise.

Think about hundreds of wolves coming together to attack the flock, how many guns do you have to fight?What's more, those herdsmen didn't have guns at all, so a small pack of wolves would hurt them.

"Huzi, stop barking, let them come here!" Huzi seemed to understand his master's words, and immediately fell silent, leaned down, and looked towards the foot of the mountain.

Several wolves had heard the barking of the dog just now, but they did not stop, but quickened their pace, because where there are dogs, there will naturally be food.

It's just that the barking of the dogs stopped suddenly, which made the wolves a little confused.Is the food already gone?The first wolf stopped, looked at the hill where he heard the voice just now, and decided to take his family up to have a look.

This is an ordinary family of wolves. The head wolf is tall, with gray hair that seems to be soaked in grease and shines brightly.After running in the snow for so long, not a single hair is wet.

Beside it is his wife, slightly smaller in stature, but also full of strength in her limbs.Behind them are three female wolves, who are also the subordinates of the first wolf, but with a lower status.There is also a little wolf. I wonder which female wolf was born and adopted by the wolf king?
The cub is a male wolf, and will naturally be expelled when he grows up.Otherwise, it will compete with the alpha wolf for the title of wolf king.
