When he got up the next day, Wang Jianxin had breakfast in the space and went out.

He mounted the green horse, followed by Da Mao and the other five, carrying the little fox in his arms, and began patrolling the border.The snow has not yet melted, and the grassland is completely white, but it is much thinner than a month ago, and the tips of the yellow grass are already exposed in some places.

I walked around the barbed wire fence and found nothing unusual.But over in Mongolia, there were many footprints on the snow, one after another, extending along their barbed wire fence.It seemed that they were also patrolling the border, and there was more than one of them, and their footprints were very mixed.

"It should be that they also have people patrolling the border." Wang Jianxin looked at the footprints and didn't pay much attention.There was such a big commotion last time, so it's normal for the patrols on the other side to be stepped up.

The morning patrol was completed slowly.In some places, the barbed wire fence was crooked by the weight of snow, the wooden posts were tilted, and the wires were loose.He dismounted, straightened the wooden stake, stepped on the surrounding soil with his feet, tightened the wire again, and tied it to the wooden stake.After working hard for a while, I finished a few things and then everything was fine.

While riding back, Wang Jianxin was thinking about it.It's almost March and the weather is getting warmer.Once the snow melts and the road becomes clear, people delivering supplies will definitely come.Maybe check to see how he's been doing these past few months to see if he's still alive.

"It seems that we need to show off."

In the days that followed, Wang Jianxin patrolled the border every few days.The rest of the time, he was doing superficial things.

There was snow all around the adobe house and it had to be shoveled away.He found a shovel, shoveled the snow around the house cleanly, and piled it away.The snow at the door was also shoveled, and a path was shoveled that led to the sheep pen and vegetable field.After two days of work, it was all done.

The ground was still so frozen that I couldn't move it with a shovel.But he still started to turn over the ground, hard.The shovel went down, and with a click, only a small lump of soil was shoveled up.He was not in a hurry, turning over a little bit every day, slowly.Crush the excavated soil with a shovel and level the ground.

He expanded the land from one acre to more than three acres.There used to be only a small vegetable plot, but now it has expanded several times.Although nothing has been planted now, the ground has been plowed and can be planted in spring.

"The thing is, there's no firewood."

Wang Jianxin thought for a while, how did he survive this winter?Living in space, there is no need to burn firewood at all.But outsiders don't know.When the person delivering supplies arrived, he saw that there wasn’t even a pile of firewood at his door. How to explain it?Could it be that I didn’t die after being frozen in the house all winter?

"You can't pick up cow dung here either." He looked around. There was nothing on the grassland covered with snow.I don’t know what they usually do, and I don’t know if they give cow dung in winter.But even if he sent it, he didn't receive it - the road was blocked due to heavy snow, so the supplies couldn't be delivered, and naturally the cow dung couldn't come.

"Looks like I have to wander back and chop down a tree."

Wang Jianxin rode his horse and wandered around looking for trees.It's hard to find trees on the grassland. Except for a few trees by the river, the rest of the place is bare.He ran for more than ten miles before he found a dead tree beside a dry ditch.The tree was not big, with a thick mouth. It had been dead for who knows how long. The trunk was cracked, but it did not fall.

He took out his tools - a saw, an axe.First cut off the branches, then saw the trunk into several sections to fit into the space.After tidying up, I got on my horse and slowly returned to the adobe house.

At the door, he took the wood out of the space and piled it next to the house.Then use an ax to split the wood into firewood, which is about the same length and thickness, and is neatly stacked.There was a small stack, not much, but it looked like that.

"When I finally came to inspect, I said that I built a big dead tree and saved it for burning. This is what's left. If you don't come, you will freeze to death." Wang Jianxin patted the sawdust on his hands and nodded with satisfaction.
