Testing the ice
[Chapter Six]
When she moved to the big lake, blue was happy, away from animals born wolves, seem to dominate the forests, he did not understand their ways, which is an unfounded fear - not fear. Now it was the Indians and the elements of climate that had to do. The wind began to pick up and entered the cold Careful consideration has led to the entertainment blues. It 'was automatically searchamong the trees, the trees behind him. He was cold and was wiping his eyes, and wondered if his eyes were honest with him, he was impatient. On the other hand, hoped to get on the lake, before he could set dark so you walk in deep snow, lifting his feet to make a step further, it is exhausting to say little has been said, and was always exhausted Feba .
It 'been a hard day walking on the big lake, it took five hours, and was 15.00 clock.The lake was blue thinking big. No gullies or the Rockies, it was just ice and snow, as he could see was used. A frozen lake was now before him was all of twenty below zero hour, hour and getting colder. He could not get all his energy was gone, and the horse was exhausted. Feba ridden the horse half the time and fell asleep in a fall. They have actually made good time in such conditions.
Lifting up his horse to his feetHe studied her face carefully. She was pretty, like the white on the branches of trees. Then he looked through blue, he told himself, not his tomb are not here, not yet. His feelings of discouragement was to promote, maybe it's always been accustomed to his surroundings.
In the absence of real urgency, said Blue Feba to sit down with a pine tree, while he tied the horse, and found wood to light a fire, together with the use of fur has had to make a tent Varioussuch as housing. It was small, and both could barely, but they managed, and the fire was warm, almost close to them, and fur.
The sky turned orange and white light began to filter through the edges of it, rotate along with the dark blue of the sky. It seemed that there was ice under the ice, as he went down to Blue Lake to test the strength of the ice to see if he could stand up, go at it. How Blue returned to his camp, he found aArrow lying in the mud. He was not sure if it was put there, or a hunter misses his prey. She picked it up, he whispered to himself: "It might be handy to test the ice."
Then, when he went a little 'well, he noticed a rocky cave, he said, was frozen, staring at him with a blanket over the head of an old Indian. Open your eyes frozen, the lake seemed perfect, his nose. His forehead was bruised black eyes. You could catch cheekbonesfrom the face. The dark spot on the forehead and nose felt a stain from the blue blanket that had fallen, the wind turned his body around.
Blue took the old mans ceiling, and timber frozen in his cave, and returned to the old man in the cave, so you can rest against the stone wall, then tracked down the embankment to his camp. If the weather is too windy, may collect and caves, he thought, because now everything went well. They were twenty feet inbefore the lake, with a warm fire, life was improving, he joked Feba.
Put the blue blanket on the ground in his shelter, and made things a little 'less cold. The heat of the fire crashed in animal skin tents. It was a small area to keep warm, thinking Blue, we stay here, and it did.
Feba fingers began to freeze the blue notes, and so he placed under the armpits. He missed a bit ', I'm so cold, but unthawed, and washappy.
"The next time Feba if you can not hear anything, or feeling numb, please let me know."
"YE sssssssssss," stammered do with their lips, but as a typewriter on the move.
When it became dark, blue Feba fell against his shoulder and the tears frozen on his skin melt. Blue saw she was sleeping, and dreaming, perhaps, the never-ending nightmare. He knew he had to treat only those entries that had lost her home and family. No, the money just a horse and someFurs. How difficult is life can be considered a blue person? I am waiting to get married, it does everything to be a good wife, and this is what happened. It did not seem right. But even chosen the life of many, was told to blue. As the farmer, who needs a good harvest, continue with your life? Or to open a hair salon, a city full of hair to maintain its business. We all choose a walk in life, and like it or not, we have to pay the price.
There were outbuildings Blue thought: "I'm not going to the toiletHours, or the time has come? "He said aloud, then got up and walked out of the shelter. Half hidden under a tree, he wanted to take a look at everything about him, as he pulled down his pants and relieved himself, then a branch from a tree and dried. The 'fresh warm air through the pants, as his body absorbs heat.
Back at the refuge Feba had awakened.
"I'm really hungry Blue;? Do you think we can cook something that I know it's late."
It was not reallyBlue meant the end, it seemed that seemed so, he felt so, and was to start a busy day. But he was hungry. It took more effort to make the field, it seemed, than to follow for five hours.
"Cooking Yaw, are only three pounds, it is best to respond, you eat tonight; ... feeding the horses, and maybe we can get a few rabbits or fish tomorrow, we get about two pounds of meat have to leave tomorrow evening"
"Seems like a good plan, Mr. Arizona."
"Call me Blue, which goes some waywith the part in Arizona, but to say that most of my friends only, Blue. "
"Ok Blue".
"Here," Blue has taken a large part of the meat was cooking, cleaning with a little 'of snow, and gave Feba on a stick. He ate like a real cowboy, thought Blue. He smiled. Blue then took another piece and gave it to the horse, and then one for him.
Blue said with a smile: "If we can not find food in a few days is the horse."
Feba saw a horse outside the shelter, andby Blue, not to mention digging for something, he said with a sigh of relief: "I never thought that the horse for dinner", then hesitated and said, "but I have horse meat in front of it, whatever."
Blue has seen a look in his field, if it is more arrows, but did not find anyone, he joined Feba, and both fell asleep, with his Colt blue posing on her knees, and a fire in front of him. If you were an animal, he had to go through the fire, and go right in hisGun.
