There was still no dream last night. This was the best sleep Zhang Tie had in this period. After opening the animal trap with Bruce and quietly placing it on the only way near the entrance of the cave, Zhang Tie slept more soundly. .
Throughout the night, long-lasting wolf howls continued to be heard from the grassland outside the cave. Some wolf howls seemed to be not far from the cave, just nearby. Zhang Tie must not have been able to sleep well before, so he had to hold a weapon. I had to go out and watch it again before I felt at ease, but last night, Zhang Tie slept very well, better than ever before.
The howling of wolves outside the cave reminded Zhang Tie of dogs barking and the sound of rain hitting the roof while sleeping in his attic hut. The world outside seemed to become On a rainy night, there is the sound of rain and the sound of dogs barking. Everything is so quiet and peaceful. Listening to the sounds of rain and dogs barking always makes people feel at ease and fall into a comfortable dreamland.
Zhang Tie knows that it has not actually turned into a rainy night outside. The howling of wolves is still howling. The place where he sleeps is a cave on the edge of the Crescent Grassland instead of a small attic at home. Nothing has changed. What has changed is only his own. In my heart, it’s just my own feelings.
Just like when you were making human punching bags in the war hall, your heart has changed, your feelings have changed, and everything has changed!
Last night, Zhang Tie's heart had already experienced a transformation.
…
I don’t know why, maybe because I came back a little late last night, but this morning the biological clock did not wake Zhang Tie up at six o’clock as usual. When Zhang Tie woke up in the morning, the sun outside was already gone. It's too high-spirited. Zhang Tie was in a daze, remembering the feeling of sleeping in at home on weekends. This is the doting on him by his mother and father. As long as he is on vacation and not at school, his mother always likes to see Zhang Tie sleeping like a real lazy pig in the morning. Only when the sun hit his buttocks did he get up from the bed with a grunt. Before Zhang Tie was twelve years old, his mother liked to lift Zhang Tie's quilt when he was sleeping in, and then patted Zhang Tie's plump butt with her hands and asked Zhang Tie to get up. When Zhang Tie opened his hazy sleepy eyes, he could always see the happy smile flashing on his mother's face, and the pretended seriousness behind the smile.
That was the most beautiful smile of his mother in Zhang Tie’s memory!
…
When Zhang Tie woke up, Bruce had left, and Zhang Tie was the only one left in the cave. After returning yesterday, Bruce seemed to be stimulated by something. The look in his eyes made Zhang Tie feel like he had become some kind of monster with three heads and six arms.
Zhang Tie seemed to have something in his dream. Bruce got up very early today and left carrying his bow and arrows...
Zhang Tie did not get up when he woke up. Instead, he was still tired of sleeping in his sleeping bag, listening to various sounds coming from outside the cave. There are birds chirping. There were insects chirping and leaves rustling in the wind.
It really feels like sleeping in at home! Zhang Tie stretched greatly with satisfaction, and then slowly got up from the sleeping bag.
Today is a big day for Zhang Tie, but Zhang Tie feels that he is in a very relaxed mood, with a lazy and comfortable feeling all over his body, as if he is really spending the weekend.
Tang De said. No matter what you do, you must learn to relax and relax. The way of relaxation lies in the East. It’s the way of yin and yang.
My nerves were too tense and the pressure was too much all day yesterday, so Zhang Tie decided to take a good rest today. After resting, he would find a place to eat fruit with peace of mind. This is Zhang Tie's plan for today .
The clothes he took off last night were placed next to the sleeping bag. If there was any flaw in last night, it was that after Zhang Tie came back, he found that he had been covered in wolf blood, except for his underwear, he had to be completely covered from head to toe. It's time to change clothes, and the clothes you change must be washed immediately. Bruce said that he was very cool and handsome last night, but no matter how cool or handsome he is, the clothes will not automatically become clean.
Zhang Tie got up and changed his clothes again, then slowly went to a pool outside the cave to wash up, then slowly came back, holding a pile of dirty clothes, took them to the stones beside the pool, and started washing them carefully. .
Zhang Tie's coat and trousers are both dark black, the most common material is double-layered kalam cloth. Kalan cloth is a woven fabric. The biggest feature is that it is cheap, and the second is that it is wear-resistant because it is made of cotton. , and has a certain degree of warmth, although it is a bit inferior in waterproofing and aesthetics, most of the animals in the school wear this, and this is also the fabric favored by most civilians in Black Flame City. Zhang Tie couldn't bear to wear the City Guards clothes that his brother left to Zhang Tie during normal trials, unless it was an occasion like a party.
Those areas stained with wolf blood on the dark kalam cloth are basically invisible after a little washing. Only by looking carefully can you find the subtle differences in color depth, but Zhang's iron-white burlap shirt No matter how you wash the wolf blood, there will always be a blood mark there, especially on the collar of the shirt, which is clearly visible. It is basically unwearable. Zhang Tie knows that this shirt is the price of his madness last night.
Zhang Tie's vest was also stained. After washing, it also had blood marks like his shirt. However, the vest was close-fitting and Zhang Tie was not afraid of anyone seeing it. But that shirt cannot be taken back under any circumstances. If my mother sees the blood of a wild beast splashing on her body so close, as soon as she thinks about the danger at that time, her head will... It must be poked and swollen by mom.
Don't show off, this is what my mother has told me hundreds of times. Zhang Tie didn't want to worry his mother again when he went home.
There is no shortage of water sources in Yelang Valley and Crescent Grassland. The pool of water is less than a hundred meters away from Zhang Tie's foothold. In the past, if he wanted to wash clothes in such a place, Zhang Tie would definitely have to carry a What kind of weapon can you trust? But today, Zhang Tie came here without bringing anything.
After washing the clothes and pants, while Zhang Tie was washing his socks, two wild wolves came to the edge of the water pool. The two wild wolves seemed to be coming to the water pool to drink water. After drinking the water, the two wild wolves raised their heads and saw Zhang Tie on the other side of the pool.
Zhang Tie also raised his head and glanced at the two wild wolves on the other side of the pool, then continued to wash his socks. I don’t know why, but now that he saw these ordinary wild wolves, three or five of them, Zhang Tie no longer had any The feeling, not to mention fear, didn't even make my heart beat faster.
The two wild wolves stared at Zhang Tie, their fangs slightly exposed, as if hesitant.
After washing a sock, Zhang Tie looked up and saw that the two wild wolves had not left yet. Zhang Tie became impatient and picked up a small stone from beside him, as if he was trying to drive away a cat that was about to come to the house to steal something. Throw it towards the two wild wolves, "Get away..."
The stone fell into the water, causing ripples, but the two wild wolves seemed to be frightened. With their tails tucked together, they burrowed into the grass behind them and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Tie was in a good mood today and did not want to start killing again.
This is just a small episode today.
After washing the clothes, he hung them to dry on a branch next to the fire in the cave. It was already noon. Feeling a little nostalgic for the delicious taste of Bruce's roast rabbit yesterday, Zhang Tie walked out of the cave with a flying spear.
Half an hour later, Zhang Tie came back and a rabbit was roasted on the fire in the cave. The clothes dried next to the fire would dry quickly, but after drying, the clothes did not smell as good and refreshing as those dried in the sun. There will be a smell of fireworks on Yueyue's clothes, but as a solo traveler, who cares about this.
The rabbit meat on the fire soon became fragrant. Following Bruce's method, Zhang Tie used a dagger to cut some incisions on the hare when it was roasted until it was golden brown and dripping with oil, and then took out the salt and collected it in the Wild Wolf Valley. The ground wild peppercorns were crushed into powder and sprinkled on it.
Maybe Bruce had some special processing method. The hare roasted by Zhang Tie was never as delicious as Bruce's roast, but Zhang Tie was already very satisfied. After eating half of the hare, Zhang Tie, burping, looked for it next to the cave. Climbing up a big tree, I found a place where I could sit and enjoy the cool breeze while admiring the boundless and magnificent scenery of the Crescent Grassland in the distance.
The blue sky above the head is like a wash, the white clouds are long, a few big birds are soaring in the sky, the grassland on the ground is vast, the earth is like a carpet, there are wild wolves chasing antelopes on the distant grasslands, one antelope is separated from the group of antelopes by the wild wolves As we drove closer, the wild wolves began to target this kind of antelope. The fast-running antelope was like a master of long jump. It kept jumping up while running, and jumped very far every time. The wild wolf chased after it, and finally , under the terrifying endurance and speed of the wild wolf, the antelope jumped up for the last time, fell, and then never jumped up again...
Zhang Tie took a nap in the tree!
When Zhang Tie woke up, the sun had already set to the west and there was already a hint of coolness in the wind.
Feeling full of energy, Zhang Tie jumped down from the tree and came to the cave. After roasting and eating the remaining half of the hare, Zhang Tie packed up his luggage, carried his spear bag and weapons, and left here. .
As soon as he left the cave, Zhang Tie started running again, and soon entered the "cruising state" of a lone traveler...
The current state is unprecedented for Zhang Tie. Whether mentally or physically, Zhang Tie feels that he is at a peak in the past fifteen years.
It's time to advance to the third level of combat soldier and experience the effects of the Wild Wolf Seven Power Fruit. Bruce has already been to this cave, and he doesn't know when he will come again. Moreover, the location of the cave is not concealed enough, and there is not much depth. Of course, Zhang Tie will not be there. This most important upgrade is completed in this cave.
For Zhang Tie, the safest place he can find now is the No. 1 foothold he discovered - the cave of the gold-eating python.
I wonder when I will be able to enter and leave the Black Iron Castle at will without worrying about anyone discovering my secret
Zhang Tie thought so while running.
What Zhang Tie didn't know while running was that Gris was near him when he left the cave.
When Zhang Tie ran across the grassland at the foot of the hillside, the distance between the two sides was less than 400 meters. Gris in the woods on the hillside saw Zhang Tie, but Zhang Tie did not see Gris.
Looking at Zhang Tie's back, a sinister smile appeared on the corner of Gris's mouth...
