Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 29—Camping

It’s not a simple matter to put a block on the net. The block that Eriksson moved onto the ship was originally on the sea fishing boat of the Red Sea shark in his home. It was used at sea. Stacking in the warehouse is just a need to repair and reconnect. After all, at sea, the fishing net is the most vulnerable fishing gear, scraped by the reef, swept away by the wind and waves, washed by large fish and so on.

There is no acrylic or petrochemical industry in this era. Most of the materials for weaving fish nets are hemp rope, leather, and some of them will add animal ribs, as well as horsetails, human hair, and these materials will be twisted together into a string. Then, using the prepared fish paste or the like, it is coated on the surface to wait for the natural drying, and finally weaving into a net, and the fishing line is also such a material.

The blocks used at sea are generally ten or dozens of meters long, and the block of Eriksson’s house is broken at sea. The complete block that is now cut is still more than six meters long, but only It has a width of three meters and seven, which means it needs to be placed in a place with a water depth of more than four meters. The water depth of this Xiaohewan was only a little over two meters. As a result, everyone was stupid.

Looking at the half of the block floating on the water, Eriksson had no choice but to let everyone close the block and re-draw the boat to the middle of the lake. I found a place that was more than four meters deep and threw the block down. If you don't have a harvest, you will be resigned. Because this is a block used at sea, the mesh is relatively large, and the fish in the lake are mostly smaller than the sea. Such a large mesh will easily pass through, which is what everyone thinks after putting the block down.

It was almost dusk when I re-entered the fishing boat into the small river, and the sky began to darken. The boat was parked, the anchor was thrown down, and the cable was tied to a thick mulberry tree on the shore. The four people hurriedly removed the bag from the ship. Now, the first thing to worry about is to arrange a campsite. If the action is slow, it will not be clear when it is dark.

When he was on the boat, he was the owner of Eriksson. Now he is on the shore and is the one who is on the shore. He is following his father and often goes to the mountains to hunt. He has the most experience of camping among the four people.

"It's here." Verricko said that the place he was looking for was only 20 meters away from the river, but it was about seven or eight meters above the water. This is a small flat on the hillside, full of miscellaneous Grass and small bushes.

"We cut these grasses and shrubs first, and we can set up tents when we put the ground down. Wait, Boa, don't go!" Verricko shouted.

Bocker is somewhat inexplicable: "Don't you say cutting grass?"

"You first hit this stick in the grass and bushes."

"What's going on, can't you cut it directly?" Bocker didn't think he had a few sticks in the weeds and bushes with a stick. He heard a lot of patters, four-legged lizards, red-eyed spiders, scorpions, and baboons. The animal insect escaped from the inside and scared him.

"Oh, this is a green snake..." Bocker then understand why Verricko let him not go directly to the grass, and accidentally he might be bitten by a donkey. No poison is just suffering from some pain. If you are poisonous, you have to toss it. You have to take a bottle of antidote.

"Why don't you burn a vacant lot directly with fire, it's faster, and the ground is dry," Crowder asked.

Verricko shook his head and said: "Now it can't burn, weeds and shrubs have a lot of water, unless we pour it with fire oil, but we only bring a small bottle of oil."

However, it was still very quick for four people to clean up the small open space. The weeds and bushes were cleared in less than half an hour.

"Boa, you divide these shrubs and use them for bonfires at night. You don't need to use too much water. The water is burning more. Ike, you find the lime powder and the sulphur powder, and the lime powder is sprinkled on the ground. Some, the sulphur powder is sprinkled around the outside to avoid the close proximity of the poisonous insects. Claude, you and I bring the machete and axe, go around and see if you can find a dead tree and cut it as firewood." Methodical to assign tasks to everyone.

"Hold it." Verricko handed Bokal's stick to Claude, and it was also used to knock on the grass. The clue to the stunned snake was still known.

Good luck, I found a half-fallen dead tree without going far, and Verricko knocked on the trunk and said that he was very satisfied: "This one."

Claude didn't move, he was curious about the ground. It was a huge gray rock with a very flat surface. The roots of this dead tree grew in the crevices of this flat limestone, and also the limestone. The corner of the piece collapsed.

"What's wrong?" Verricko asked.

Claude pointed to the limestone: "How is this rock so flat..."

Verricko laughed: "Not surprisingly, this is a mountain road. You will see more of this rock in the past and below. It’s only been a long time, and many rocks have cracked and broken down. Trees and weeds occupy the position."

"No," Crowder exclaimed. "Is this a rocky road? But this rock is too big. It is three meters long and one meter wide. At that time, it took a lot of work to polish the rock. In this way, have to move up the mountain?"

“Haha...” Verricko laughed and pointed to the mountain: “I heard the ruins of the magic tower on the Bailuzhou Mountain? In fact, this road is there, we can follow this mountain road tomorrow. Go up the mountain to see the ruins of the magic tower. If you are brave enough, we will camp there at night.

As for such a large rock paved road, I guess this is a masterpiece of those magicians. I think it is impossible to do it by hand. Because even now, we have to lay such a rocky mountain road, we have to polish the rock into such a flat piece and then carry it up the mountain. It is almost a huge project that requires countless manpower and countless expenses. It is impossible to do it hundreds of years ago. To. ”

It turned out that this mountain road is the ruins leading to the magic tower, and Claude’s heart was filled with joy. Vericello’s words are in his own heart: “Well, tomorrow night camping at the ruins of the magic tower, I have to see, is the legend about the Egret in the town true?”

Verricko took the axe in the hands of Claude and shook his head: "The legends you also believe, I came here twice with my father's annual leave, every time I camped in the site, there is no, ghost. I can't see one, and we spend five or six days there every time..."

"Is the magic tower ruin very big?"

"Great." Verricko cut the dead tree into three segments, spit in his hand, and picked up the axe to cut the trunk into a strip: "Let's say, I guess it has your diameter." The red brick house is so long. But it has collapsed, and now the bottom of the remaining wall is broken."

Claude quickly calculated in his heart, usually he did not notice how long the red brick house in his house. Four large suites, plus corridor stairwells, are about forty-five meters long. The red brick house at home is the length. The ruins of the magic tower are the diameter. So the bottom plane of the magic tower is more than 1,600 square meters, or more than 2,000 square meters, which is big enough.

I cut down two of Verricko and stopped: "Yes, you know why I just said that the rocky mountain road on the ground is the masterpiece of those magicians? Because the walls of the magic tower ruins, and this rock block is I was the same when I first came. I asked my father how to build a tower with such a large rock block. My father’s answer is that no one can do anything except a magician."

Claude stood up the cut trunk on the rock and prepared to use a machete to test whether it could be cut into firewood strips. Good luck, this dead tree is very loose. Although using a machete is not as fast as an axe, it can still be cut down.

The speed of cutting the two together was very fast. In less than half an hour, the three sections of the trunk were cut. Vericro said enough. Two vines were found to bundle the scattered firewood. One person carried a large one. Bundled back to the camp.

Bok Al and Eriksson have cleaned up the open space and sprinkled powder on the camp. The two tents were also set up. The tents that Verikoro brought from home were relatively large, and they were stitched together with animal skins, which could sleep two people. The tent used by Eriksson’s deck from his own boat was single, about a third smaller than the beast tent next to it.

However, it doesn't matter. The wild camping requires a person to watch the camp at night, to prevent the campfire from extinguishing or accidents. The two tents can sleep three people, just vacating a position to turn the night guard.

This time, Bocker and Eriksson were arsoning in front of the tent, but the shrubs were selected, but the fire was still too big, the flames were very small, and the two men blew for a long time, the fire did not grow up two faces But it was smoked black.

"Okay, you two have to get some water to wash your face, what it looks like. Right, don't go to the river, go there, there is a broken mountain road, and there will be a stream in the past. The water there is clean, and with two buckets of water back." Verricko refers to the direction he and Claude cut wood back.

Claude thought for a moment. When he was cutting wood, he faintly heard the sound of running water. Verricko came twice with his father and should remember the position. But when they come in winter, will the stream not freeze or stop flowing?

Verricko seems to know what Claude is thinking: "I remembered when I cut the tree. The stream was less than ten meters from the mountain road. It was hot in winter. My father took me to play the water, but that The fish in the stream are very small and there are no big fish."

Instead of shrubs with firewood, the fire burned quickly.

Claude accompanied Verizro to cut two tree forks on the nearby tree and made a shelf on the campfire. Now wait for Bokal to get the water back, so that the iron pot can be hung on the campfire. Cook it and cook it.

"Claude, you look at the fire. When the firewood below is burnt into half of the coke, it will be thrown out and replaced with firewood. The firewood that comes out will be piled up next to it, and it will be useful at night."

"What's the use?" Claude was a bit strange.

Verricko pointed out that the camp was all over the week: "At night, you have to put a few piles around the camp, and smother the fire, so that you can prevent the beasts from approaching. In the event of an accident, if you pick a firewood, you will have an open fire. With a little strain of time, you can see the vision..."

Understand, Crowder nodded, these are the experience, Vericro has been hunting with his father since childhood, and the camping thing has made him think very thoughtful.

At this time, Bocker and Eriksson came back with a bucket of water, and then it was Croll's turn to show their talents. Bokal has not been in the kitchen at home, and Verricko and Eriksson have cooked things to fill their stomachs. To say that they are delicious, they have to look at Claude. He was a family woman and was later Boss with the old driver with a handful of cooking also gave him a lot of points in the process of picking up the girl.

Flour, waxed meat, dried fish and salt, as well as a few apples, are the ingredients and the most basic ingredients that four people bring from home. Originally, there was a bag of honey buns, which was taken from the house by Bok Al, but when everyone was hungry in the afternoon, they were all divided.

It seems that it can only be made into noodles. The water in the pot is boiled and added with flour for mixing. Cut the wax into small pieces, then put the dried fish into pieces and put some salt. The taste is still delicious, but it is not fresh. Meat and bones, otherwise you can eat a little better.

"Don't worry, wait until the evening we go to the creek to ambush, there should be a lot of animals in the past drinking water, I think we should have a good harvest at night." Verricko patted his gun in his arms and said confidently.
