This Man Is Dangerous 


In the second half of the night, there were thick clouds over the ice grassland, covering the crimson moon. The light rain fell, and it fell into the air and became small frozen particles, which covered the ground in less than half an hour. The hail, the size of a soybean grain, hit the ground with a crisp sound, and it hardly stopped. 

Just after four o'clock in the morning, the wind picked up, whistling across the herds, the herds huddled close together to avoid the wind and the cold, the thick voice of the robust bull, the anxious cry of the cow, and the calf's ignorance of the world. The moo-moo-moo sounds gathered together and became the main theme of the early morning hours.

"We need to adjust the plan." Derrick, the most capable leader of this small team, said in a low voice while looking at the dark world outside the shelter.

The others pondered and briefly exchanged a few words.

The small round particles of the hail jumped into this safe haven in the cold, and Ryan reached out his hand to catch a few, shook his hand gently, and watched them roll in his palm absentmindedly.

"Ryan, why didn't you respond after we talked so much." Harriet raised her hand and shook it in front of Ryan, "Hey, hey, he's back."

Ryan responded and smiled apologetically, "Sorry, I was lost in thoughts for a while. This hailstorm won't last long, I estimate that it will stop at five o'clock and start an hour later, which does not conflict with the previous plan. "

Jack, who was sitting on the outside, glanced out. In the airtight darkness, he could only hear the sound of the strong wind. How could he tell the next weather changes? If the weather continues to be bad, the competition may be cancelled unless the command evaluates the difficulty of the task. followed by manual intervention.

"My home is near the planet Newnes in the hurricane star field. Newnes has a long winter. I went to school there for more than ten years. I have experienced a lot of windy and snowy weather. You can tell the weather changes by smell." Ryan threw away the hail particles in his palm, looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, get ready, we will set off in an hour."

"Caw." Harriet gave Ryan a thumbs up.

"Stop, let's talk about it, I think the wind is getting stronger and stronger." Jack's mouth is flat. Experience relies more on intuition. He knows that some old farmers can judge the weather without relying on technology. It's been trained every day, and it doesn't matter how old the old farmers are or how old is Ryan.

The only thing to do now is to wait, wait until the hail really passes, Derrick and Harriet choose to close their eyes and rest, Jack's eyes slipped to Ryan and the people around him from time to time, his expressions changed constantly, and he didn't know where he was. Think about something. 

Fan Yanting, who was sitting beside him, was fiddling with his personal terminal. The cold white light of the screen shone on his face, and the corners of his mouth slowly turned up, revealing a weird smile.

Jack: "..."

Jack moved aside.

Soon his attention was drawn to Ryan's actions again, and he saw him fiddle with the dagger in the fire. After a night of smoldering under the smoldering dry cow dung, the four potato roots he brought back should be edible. . Ryan pulled the potato root out with a dagger, pressed his fingers, and could feel the soft texture inside, and imagine the softness and sweetness in the mouth.

Ryan asked, "The potato roots are edible. Would you like to try them?"

"I'll take one." Harriet was the most positive, she was very confident in Ryan's cooking skills.
