Gong fight?Niang Niang, she dominated the cold palace by farming

Chapter 189 Chapter 189
Because Xu Ji had issued a strict order not to destroy wild forests, they soon found a pine forest nearby.

But Xu Ji looked up at the thick snow on the top of the pine tree, and couldn't help frowning, "It's not safe here, we can easily be buried in the snow."

Xie Qing was in a dilemma, "What should I do?" If he was going through life and death, he would say nothing, but if he wanted to survive in such bad weather, he was really helpless.

Xu Ji looked around, "Look for a leeward place first, and not too low, have you brought the signal flares?"

Everyone hurriedly checked the flares on their bodies, "I have them all!" This was what Xie Qing and the others had when they were guards in the palace, and it was improved later to make it more portable and easy to use.

Xu Ji nodded, "There are [-] of us in total, and now we are divided into six people to find a suitable camping place, and the rest will follow me to cut trees and replant them next year."

Everyone hastened into action.

Xu Ji led people into the pine forest and chose the kind of pine tree with a relatively straight trunk. She didn't need others to do it. She lifted her foot at the right position and kicked the tree down.

The rest of the people were responsible for repairing the branches and branches of the pine trees. When doing physical work, the cold was not so obvious.

But in fact, a pine tree with a trunk diameter of more than one foot is very heavy, and the inspectors and the like can't move it at all.

Xu Ji gathered the fallen pine trees together and asked them to tie them up.Those twigs can't be wasted either, they have to be taken away.

When Xie Qing released the red signal flare, Xu Ji dragged the pine tree and the rest dragged the branches to meet up.

The place Xie Qing found was a small slope, like a broken bowl turned upside down.

The open part of the broken stubble is like a cliff, and the leeward side is a small soil bag on the intact side.

The snow under the cliff is not too thick, it has been cleared by Xie Qing and others.

The height of the cliff is more than ten feet.

Xu Ji weighed it up, and first loosened the frozen ground around him, then picked up the pine tree that had been sharpened by the roots of the tree and poked it on the ground.

Xie Qing had led people to ignite the wood chips and pile them at the base of the cliff to keep warm.

In this way, Xu Ji planted ten tree stumps under the cliff, and then dragged three tree stumps to climb up the soil slope, protruding the end of the tree crown out of the cliff, and pressing down the root end with stones and snow.

After trying it, it was still strong, so Xu Ji went down again. In such a cold day, she was sweating all over.

Xie Qing led people to deal with the details, and filled the gap between the two pine trees with branches, but the north wind howled, still leaked in.

Xu Ji took a breath and said, "Let's take a rest first, warm up by the fire, eat something to replenish your strength, and then make snow bricks. It doesn't need to be too delicate, as long as it can block the remaining gaps."

They all carried water bags, dry food bags, and hand stoves with them, but after such a toss, the hand stoves had long been extinguished.

Even if the water bladder is placed close to the body, the water inside is still cold.

Everyone simply put the water bags near the fire.

It was an experienced veteran of the Inspection Department who called people to remove the old fire, so that the original ground was still warm, so that the water bladder could heat up faster.

Soon they discovered that a fire could not meet the heating requirements at all, and, after all, it was sawdust cut down from a living tree, which was not dry enough and the smoke was very strong.

After barely eating something, Xie Qing arranged eight people to make snow bricks according to Xu Ji's instructions, and took a companion to find dry firewood.

There are a lot of fallen dead branches in the wild forest, and they are all dry.
