Castle of Black Iron

Chapter 87: The most precious thing

Views:

The three wolves that were processed by the Brotherhood allowed Zhang Tie to fully experience what it was like to be a rich man while he was recovering from his injuries. The nearly 100 kilograms of wolf meat left behind after the three wolves were processed were replaced by Barry for him. It became 40 kilograms of dry food and 20 kilograms of dried meat.

Wolf meat is very popular with some boys in the trial, especially fresh wolf meat. According to the "market price" in the small square of Wild Wolf Castle, one kilogram of fresh wolf meat can be exchanged for one kilogram at a one-to-one ratio. Dry food can also be exchanged for the dried meat and other things brought by those guys at a ratio of three to one. Those guys who brought dry food and dried meat but did not get fresh meat are very willing to make such an exchange. Such an exchange can make both parties happy. Benefit, one party to the transaction gets more food, while the other party gets food that is easier to preserve, and everyone is happy.

In addition to grain, the three tanned wolf skins, according to Barry's estimation, although one of them is not in very good condition, the other two are basically good and can barely be sold for more than 20 silver coins. This amount of money, Half of Zhang Tie's "skin removal" surgery fee has been collected.

60 kilograms of grain and twenty silver coins in the future, this is Zhang Tie's unexpected income from this risk of life. For this "wealth" that Zhang Tie exchanged for his life, all the guys in the brotherhood insisted that Zhang Tie Tie took care of it himself. Originally, Zhang Tie wanted to leave half of the food for the guys in the brotherhood to make public food, but when those guys heard what Zhang Tie said, they shook their heads faster than anyone else.

"Butou, this is the food you almost died for. How can we eat it..." Barry said.

"It's just that if we eat these things, it will make us feel like we are a failure in life!" Wright said.

"Yes, eating these grains feels like eating your flesh. It's so painful!" Doug also supported.

Seeing everyone nodding, the issue of food was put aside, and the matter of Zhang Tie lighting the shrine's bright spot did not cause much trouble.

Baghdad, who knew the news, slapped Zhang Tie hard on the shoulder when he came to visit Zhang Tie, pinched Zhang Tie's neck with a ferocious expression, and shook Zhang Tie's body wildly, "You guy, He actually became the first person in our fraternity to ignite the Mingdian Temple. This record should have been mine, it should have been mine. It’s really too much. What’s even more outrageous is that he didn’t tell us after he ignited it!”

"I'm afraid that speaking out will easily hurt your fragile and young hearts and make you lose hope in life. You see, I am doing this for your own good..." Zhang Tie said with a smile.

"Cut!" Zhang Tie was greeted by a row of middle fingers.

"By the way, why did your shrine's bright spot ignite so quickly?" Wright asked.

"Don't you know that the Chinese people ignited the first shrine bright spot faster than you all?" Zhang Tie asked back. This is indeed a fact. For many Chinese people, the speed of lighting the shrine bright spot is indeed faster than that of you. Other races are faster, such as Zhang Tie's no longer bastard brother Zhang Yong and Zhang Tie's brother Zhang Yang. Zhang Tie's own cultivation talent is beyond everyone, but who knows that he ignited the shrine's bright spot? He relies on the small tree rather than his talent as a Chinese.

When Zhang Tie said this, everyone was relieved. According to a popular saying in this era, the Chinese seem to be born with higher mental strength than other ethnic groups. This is the advantage of the Chinese.

The days of recuperation were very leisurely. Zhang Tie lived in the ward of the Wild Wolf Castle. There were two people living in the ward. Every day, Zhang Tie either spanked the guys in the ward or used a cane made of tree branches. Wandering around the castle.

Because almost when the wolf bit Zhang Tie's calf, Zhang Tie's dagger was inserted into the wolf's body, so the wolf finally left two shallow wounds on Zhang Tie's right calf. The wound was a shallow blood hole and had been treated with medicine. Although it was not fatal, it would probably take at least a week for normal activities.

During this period, Zhang Tie could only tap his feet and walk. Fortunately, Zhang Tie now had no worries about food and clothing. Those guys from the fraternity would bring a box of fish soup over every night, saying that it would be good for Zhang Tie's health. The recovery made several guys who were also recovering from the disease envious. Zhang Tie inquired about it and found out that the guys in Bally were preparing to dig new traps. The old traps were very productive, especially the fishing Zhang Tie did in the creek. The traps are like a cornucopia. Several fish can be caught every day, rain or shine.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Tie was free and rested in the castle to recuperate. Zhang Tie also asked Barry and the others to inquire about the little gang of Gris, and found nothing unusual. Except that Gris was still not allowed to come to the Wild Wolf Castle during the punishment period, Zuhair and the others were doing everything as usual, except occasionally. I will bring some prey to the Wild Wolf Castle to show off, or exchange for some other things.

In addition to leaving a trace in Zhang Tie's heart, this wolf attack also quickly disappeared from everyone's sight just like the bruises and scratches on Zhang Tie's body just a few days later.

The most indispensable thing in the trial is news. Every day, many, many things happen in the Wild Wolf Valley...

After experiencing another life-and-death test, Zhang Tie's character took another step forward. The second flawless fruit had matured for three days in the Black Iron Castle, but during these three days, Zhang Tie's mood was very calm. He was so stunned that he held back and did not take a look inside the Black Iron Castle. One of the reasons was that he was inconvenient to move in the Wild Wolf Castle. The more important reason was that Zhang Tie discovered that before the trial, he thought that the Black Iron Castle was It was very important to him, but after experiencing another life-and-death test, he discovered that it was actually not that important, or not as important as he initially thought. In addition to the Black Iron Castle, many important and precious things in this world are actually within reach - such as sunlight. The dark journey falling into the dark hole made Zhang Tie understand. Sunshine is precious. Without sunshine, there would be no plants. Without plants, there would be no animals. Without plants and animals, humans would not be able to survive. Sunshine is precious. It represents hope and life, but sunshine does not cost money.

Air is also very precious. Without air, a person will die in a few minutes. Air is free.

Water is also very precious. Most living things cannot survive without water, but in the wild, this water is free.

Family love is also very valuable, it is the most precious thing in the world, but family love does not cost money, many people are born with it.

Friendship is also very valuable, it can make your life more exciting and fulfilling, and it doesn’t cost money to have love.

And love, I heard this bastard Sista say that the most beautiful thing in the world is when a man and a woman long to be with each other and start to communicate with each other, that is the most ecstasy - because without this kind of experience, for Zhang Tie had reservations about Sista, a bastard.

The most precious thing is your own life, which is given by your parents, and they don’t seem to ask for money from you.

Zhang Tie discovered that nothing that can be bought with money is too precious, but the truly precious things are things that you can have without money at all. Many people spend their lives on the most precious things. Things are ignored and too much pursuit is made of those things that can be bought with money. As long as he discovers the precious things in his life and around him, everyone can be rich. Understanding this truth, Zhang Tie's mind suddenly broadened.

Every morning, after Zhang Tie gets up and washes up, he would use crutches and climb to the hillside behind the Wild Wolf Castle. While breathing the fresh air, doing some simple exercises, he would happily wait for the first day of the morning. The feeling of having the first ray of sunshine shine on yourself in the morning will really bring you a lot of joy.

After welcoming the arrival of the sun, Zhang Tie came back with his crutch, took out some food, and sometimes even picked up a few ordinary stones on the road in a bad way, and then went to the entrance of the castle and occupied a place. A small stall, and then sat in front of the stall, openly watching the beauties coming in and out of the castle. Zhang Tie discovered that looking at beauties has the advantage of promoting and accelerating the blood circulation in his body.

This is good for his physical recovery - Zhang Tie made a shameless excuse for himself. As proof of this shameless excuse, Zhang Tie had to use his "right hand to cover up shame" every time after watching a beautiful woman. He put his right hand into his trouser pocket, held down a restless guy, and then ran away in panic.

After watching the beauties, Zhang Tie had some lunch, and then took a luxurious nap. After sleeping until he woke up naturally, he walked around the small square energetically, and then exchanged some wild fruits for snacks with the girl named Pandora. Fill your belly, eat wild fruits in your mouth, and then visit the iron smelting workshop of Wild Wolf Castle. Learn the iron smelting skills of the guys in the workshop and witness how they create iron in this simple workshop. The process of a steam engine.

The biggest trouble when using charcoal to make iron is that the burning temperature of charcoal is not high, so it is impossible to melt the iron ore in the crucible to obtain the crucible steel that everyone needs. The most commonly used technique for charcoal iron-making is lump iron-making. Iron ore and charcoal are calcined in an iron-smelting kiln and then wrought iron is obtained by repeatedly forging and extruding impurities from the iron block. Because the carbon content is very low, The texture of wrought iron is a bit soft, and what can be processed is somewhat limited. Finally, low carbon steel needs to be obtained through carburizing technology of wrought iron - Zhang Tie has learned all this knowledge in school, but learning and mastering are two different things. In the past few days, Zhang Tie has become familiar with the technical geeks in the iron smelting workshop. Sometimes Zhang Tie even helps shake the blower or directly brings some fruits as bribes. As he hears and sees day by day, Zhang Tie actually It was an unexpected gain to find that I had unknowingly mastered the block iron making technology and the carburizing and forging technology of wrought iron in the iron smelting workshop.

What Zhang Tie, who has been recovering from his injuries these days, doesn't know is that his survival this time has actually made Captain Colin appreciate him very much and is ready to give him a real benefit!
