Northbound Ultimate

Chapter 23

There is only one main street in Chudao Baihe Town, and Shunzi's sled station is at the end of the street. After the mighty sled team set off, they headed north along this main road.The houses on both sides and the idle people watching gradually decreased, and soon, there were only endless birch forests left on both sides of the road.

At the beginning, Wu Xie was very excited.He is a dog from the city, and he is familiar with zebra crossings, traffic lights, buildings as tall as mountains, or cars speeding up to 80 yards will not scare him, and he even likes those flashing neon lights.Mountains, wasteland, and woods, in Wu Xie's cognition, can be directly equated with "outing", so he trots all the way, very happy.

Unfortunately, after two hours, Wu Xie was a little tired.Even though he has received professional training and has been taken by Pokerfinger for a lot of physical strengthening training in recent days, after all, dogs like golden retrievers are not used for long-distance running. He felt like a big drum was playing in his heart, beating non-stop, his tongue drooped for a long time, and he felt that he was about to pass out.

The third uncle soon realized that Wu Xie was not feeling well. He turned his head to look at him worriedly several times. Fortunately, Chen Pi Asi was old after all, and the person next to him who was covered in polar bear skin from head to toe was more like Made of glass, breathing and talking would have cost him half his life, not to mention the jolting of the sled.Because of this, Shunzi made an exception and arranged for a half-hour lunch break. He boiled a large pot of snow water, made tea for Chen Pi Asi and his guys, and used an aluminum basin to hold warm water, and fed the sled dogs. hot water.

Wu Xie was so exhausted that he lay on the ground and refused to move any more. The third uncle who was closest licked his forehead comfortingly, and whispered to him some tips on adjusting breathing and distributing physical strength during long-distance running.Wu Xie nodded with a vague understanding, trying to remember, but the gap in absolute physical strength will never be made up for a while. Wu Sanxing was very worried. If the only seedling of the Wu family died after following him, he felt that he would not dare to see him even if he died. Dad's.

Poker-Face suddenly said, "Add a lasso."

Wu Sansheng was stunned for a moment, and then he understood that Poker Fing was planning to drag Wu Xie to run. This method is not impossible, but for Poker Finger, it would consume a lot of energy. He is also a novice sled puller, so he can hold it ?

Pan Zi righteously said: "My little brother and I will take shifts." Poker-Face shook his head, and tried his best to move to Wu Xie's side in the noose.With a sore nose, Wu Xie struggled to stand up, stretched out his paws to hold Poker Ping's paws, and barely showed a big smile: "Brother, I can hold it."

Poker Bottle sighed almost inaudibly, ignored him as usual, but lowered his long snowy eyelashes, pretending to observe the degree of potholes on the ground.This action made him suddenly discover that the long golden hair was covered with ice between Wu Xie's claws, almost instinctively, Poker-Face lowered his head, and carefully bit those icicles piece by piece with his sharp teeth. Lose.

Golden Retriever Wu really has to keep working hard!

When going on the road again, Wu Xie had an extra belt on his body, and the other end was connected to Poker Bottle, which made it much easier to run.In the evening, when Shunzi untied the dogs and directed Chen Pi'a's men to set up tents and camp, Wu Xie was still sore and limp from exhaustion, but he was still able to stand.Pokerfoil circled around him, checking his paws one by one for any injuries. Finally, he nimbly bit off the ice in his paws and took him to dinner.

Unlike at the sled station, Shunja no longer used the big aluminum basin to mix cornbread for the dogs to loot, but pulled out a sack and whistled.Wu Sansheng's more than 100 dogs would surround him from all directions, and when all the dogs sat down quietly, Shunzi would fish out the frozen dried fish from the pocket and throw it out.The dogs ran over one by one according to their status in the sled team.

Wu Sansheng's team is naturally the first, followed by a bald but very big husky "Mediterranean". This guy is honest and cheerful, and has the best relationship with his third uncle Panzi; A team led by a big dog named "Wang Baqiu" of Berner blood. Behind Wang Baqiu was his best friend, the dog "Fishmonger" who looked like a giant fox.Afterwards, it was brought by two bitches, the older one was called A Hong, she was very fierce and pungent, and was a friend of "Wang Baqiu", and the younger one was just a beautiful reddish-brown husky. According to what Dakui told Wu Xie quietly, that girl She doesn't like to talk, she is the third uncle's best friend, and all her subordinates call her Dumb Sister.The rest of the dogs were all similar-looking mature huskies, and Wu Xie didn't remember their names for a while.

Each dog catches the dried fish in the air, and then eats it in a place where no one is around. It is said that this can train the dog not to pick up the food on the ground-there are hunters in the wilderness, who will throw poisonous bait on the snow to catch wolf and bear.

Wu Xie is not very good at this, because of genetic problems, the hip joints of golden retrievers are not strong, and the guide dog base will try to avoid letting them do jumping exercises. He was not very good at catching people throwing them out in the past Shunzi threw the Frisbee three times before he managed to catch it before the dried fish hit the ground.Wu Xie believed that if it wasn't for Panzi and Pokerfing who were the best fighting dogs, and the third uncle sitting next to him and staring at him, Wang Baqiu or those wolf-like huskies in the fishmongers team would have snatched him away by accident. rations on the ground.

=================================== TBC=================== ==============

Golden Retriever Wu is ready to see some things of the jungle!

But he really couldn't get used to the taste of dried fish, it was fishy and hard, and the taste was simply rotten.It was very painful for him to eat, his cheeks hurt after a few bites, and he wanted to give up after eating half a loaf, but Wu Sansheng said that it was freezing and snowy here, and he had to eat at least twice as much food as in the south to keep his body warm. Only then can he survive, so he sat next to Wu Xie, pressing his head and forcing him to eat up.

Wu Xie cast his eyes on Poker Bottle for help, and made a purring sound like a puppy. Unfortunately, the third uncle was unmoved, and the little brother who had always spoiled him seemed to have neither seen nor heard, and concentrated on Running around those tents, I don't know what they are busy with.The temperature here at night is close to minus [-] degrees, much colder than any of the most modern freezers Wu Xie has seen in the past.On nights when there is no snowstorm, native huskies or malamutes huddle together to keep each other warm and protected from the cold wind.But for a golden retriever like Wu Sansheng or Wu Xie, digging a snow cave is a must.

So, after Wu Xie swallowed the whole unpalatable dried fish with difficulty, Wu Sansheng spent more than an hour explaining to Wu Xie how to choose a place, how to dig holes, and told him that the cold air is heavy and will gather in low-lying places. place, but the cold wind will blow on the high mountain slopes and other common sense of life in the snow.Wu Xie knew that these things were very important, but he couldn't keep up his spirits. He yawned and licked his nose non-stop.After all, it is normal for a normal dog to sleep seventeen or eighteen hours a day.Even if Wu Xie is a professionally trained working dog, such a long period of pure physical labor is really too much for him.

Just when Wu Sansheng was biting Wu Xie's ear and teaching him to identify the wind direction by the direction of the snow ridge, Pokerfinger appeared out of nowhere

Come on, lick Wu Xie's nose affectionately, Wu Xie smelled the familiar warm breath on his body, and couldn't help feeling sleepier, I really wanted to bury my nose directly in the hair of Poker Ping's shoulder and sleep for three days and three nights .Poker-face looked at Wu Sansheng and said, "Wu Xie is sleepy."

"Brother," Wu Sansheng shook his head, "You are from the south, you don't know this place..."

It was rare for Poker Fing to repeat it with dignity: "Wu Xie is sleepy." He looked at Wu Sanxing calmly, without wrinkling his nose or raising his voice, but Wu Sanxing felt in a trance that there was an unforgiving feeling in those deep black eyes. With an air of refutation, he involuntarily took a step back, and Wu Xie immediately followed Poker Ping.

========================== TBC =========================== =

The water poured out by the dull golden retriever~ I can't get a single hair back~ The third uncle expresses strong indignation and serious protest at this!

Before going to bed, Wu Sansheng was worried about his nephew, fearing that he would freeze into a golden popsicle overnight due to his lack of experience, so he went to find the two of them with a piece of roasted bacon that he had just stolen as a tribute to him in his purse.At this time, it was completely dark, and except for a dozen huskies who were the least afraid of the cold, most of the dogs had disappeared on the vast snowfield.Wu Sansheng turned around several times but didn't see Wu Xie and Poker Finger. Finally, when he was about to give up, he found the mysterious man behind the tent of Chen Pi Asi and that mysterious man on a gentle slope leeward. A snow cave that is enough for Poker Ping and Wu Xie to curl up and sleep comfortably.

The hole didn't look like a novice dug at all. It was deep and round, with a small entrance, and it was tightly covered with branches and snow.Wu Sansheng walked over and sniffed, Pokerfing noticed it immediately, raised his head to look at him vigilantly, Wu Sansheng felt the heat rushing towards his face, saw Wu Xie sleeping soundly with his pillow on Pokerfing's shoulder, I was relieved, and quickly threw down the bacon in my mouth: "Here, give it to Xiaoxie, he is not used to dried fish." Then he used his paws to restore the branches blocking the entrance to their original state, and piled more snow Go up and leave.The fluffy snow can isolate the cold air and is the best insulation material here.

Wu Xie smelled the smell of meat, raised his head half asleep, and groaned twice to express his thanks, but Poker Ping couldn't help but said, "Your third uncle has already left."

Wu Xie was not fully awake yet, he closed his eyes and picked up the still hot piece of meat, half hidden in his teeth, half exposed, and dazedly approached the Poker bottle, and said in his throat: "Brother, you Eat too."

Poker bottle hesitated for a moment, but slowly moved over, bit the half piece of meat, but was reluctant to bite it off. His nose rubbed against Wu Xie's nose, and his teeth touched his teeth. He could even feel Wu Xie's softness. And sensitive tongue.

Wu Xie bit off the piece of meat, swallowed it in two mouthfuls, yawned contentedly, and then fell asleep with Poker Ping's paw on his pillow.

Poker Bottle couldn't help curling the corners of his mouth, and then, almost subconsciously, he curled up and covered his mouth and nose with his furry tail.
