- The mining site of Wild Wolf Castle is at the foot of a relatively gentle hillside to the south of Wild Wolf Castle. There is a railway track several hundred meters long, laid down from the mountain. The other end of the rail is the material yard of Wild Wolf Castle iron smelting workshop. There is a steam engine there, and the power of the steam engine is provided to a winch. The winch is connected to a ring of steel cables as thick as a baby's arm from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain. After the mine cart here at the mining point is filled with ore, the upper steel cables He just pulled the mine cart up the railway track. This section of railway track and the steam engine improved the efficiency of bringing the ore to the Wild Wolf Castle a lot. Without such a thing, Zhang Tie really doubted whether anyone would be willing to mine. Walking more than a mile in the mine to carry the ore here, and then climbing up the mountain again with the ore on your back is really not a job that humans can do.
But even for jobs that those people can do, different people can also try some challenges of different difficulty.
At noon, the sun that had been hiding for a day began to become hot again, and the temperature in the Wild Wolf Valley began to gradually rise again. Because of yesterday's rain, everything in the valley was relatively humid. The rising temperature The water vapor evaporated from the ground, and the entire valley turned into a big steamer in the blink of an eye, making people feel a little nervous.
Under such temperatures, carrying more than 100 kilograms of mineral baskets to complete a 1.5-kilometer trip was also a huge test for Zhang Tie. Along the way, Zhang Tie gritted his teeth, sweated profusely, and felt as if his shoulders were being rubbed. It was like smoking. On average, he had to rest once after walking two to three hundred meters. In the end, when Zhang Tiekuang put the ore basket on the scale at the intersection point, the difference brought by the different weights The sound effect made the boys at the mining point couldn't help but come over and take a look at the number on the scale.
118kg!
"Brother, that's good. In the past few days, you are the first to carry hundreds of kilograms of ore for delivery. It seems that you are born to do this!" At this moment, Zhang Tie was so tired that he just wanted to lie on the ground. After resting for half an hour, when I heard such a "compliment", I just rolled my eyes helplessly. I didn't care whether the words this guy said were praising me or hurting me. The boy who spoke took out a When I came to the notebook, I looked at the record on the scale and the color of the ore in the ore basket, and then started recording it in the notebook.
"Even with this baskethow many kilograms of ore did I carry today?" Zhang Tie asked after breathing heavily for a long time.
"If it lasts this time, let me take a look" The boy holding the notebook lowered his head and looked at the records in the notebook, "Your name is Zhang Tie, right? The first time this morning was 76 kilograms, the second time was 78 kilograms, and the second time was 78 kilograms. Three times it was 69 kilograms, this time it was 118 kilograms, let me do the math"
"337 kilograms" The boy just reported the number of ores that Zhang Tie had carried these past few times. Zhang Tie's heart moved, and the 7-speed abacus in his mind instantly appeared, almost as soon as the man reported the third number. At the end of the day, Zhang Tie already knew the result, and then told him the result.
The boy calculated it with a pen and found that the number he got was the same as what Zhang Tie blurted out. He couldn't help but glance at Zhang Tie in slight surprise, but he didn't think much about it.
"Well, it's exactly 337 kilograms. This is the highest record we have had here these days. You didn't come two days ago. Today is the third day. This amount just meets the requirements"
"Is there any reward for the highest record?" Zhang Tie asked with a salivated face.
"Yes, I have!"
"What?"
"So that you can continue to pursue this promising career"
Hearing this answer, Zhang Tie's face darkened slightly, and then he laughed. Unexpectedly, this guy was quite humorous.
Watching a few guys here at the mining site pour their ore into the mine cart, he casually exchanged some words with the guys here, rested for a while, and based on the weight of the ore Zhang Tie dug, Zhang Tie After receiving a seven-tael weight of dry food, Zhang Tie then took the dry food and the ugly mining basket up the mountain to the small square of the Wild Wolf Castle.
After unloading the burden of 100 kilograms, and after a period of rest, Zhang Tie gradually recovered his physical strength and found that his foot strength was unprecedentedly light. This time he successfully challenged his limit again, among a group of unlucky guys. Having set a small record, Zhang Tie was in a good mood and slightly proud. It seems that Tang De is right when he says that people are all forced to come out - this is a joke whose rich connotation can only be appreciated by using Chinese language and writing.
The small square that had been resting for a day became even more lively. Compared with the bare and simple appearance when I first came here, these days have passed. Some simple trading stalls with shading effects have been set up in this small square. Some girls are here. The wild fruits and vegetables picked by them are sold and exchanged at the stalls.On the other side of the square, the team of boys who come here every day to show off their "muscles" and prey are still noisily crowded together, chatting up the girls around them from time to time. In the past few days, there have been more and more The girls began to try to form a fixed trial team with the boys. After a period of understanding, both boys and girls became bolder.
"Do you need wild blueberries and hawthorn fruits?" A voice from the stall next to him attracted Zhang Tie's attention. When Zhang Tie turned around, he saw a boy shaking his head and walking away, while the stall was set up The girl's face was slightly disappointed. She held her feet with her hands and sat on the ground. In front of the girl, there was a lotus leaf. There was a small pile on the lotus leaf, which was probably less than half a catty. Heavy wild blueberries and hawthorn fruits were piled there timidly. The small pile of blueberries and hawthorn fruits were just like their owners at the moment, with a slightly raw feeling. Although they were clean, they were ordinary, inconspicuous, and not attractive at all. Can't afford the "appetite" of the animals.
Because Zhang Tie remembered that blueberry and hawthorn seeds had not been sown in the space of Black Iron Castle, Zhang Tie walked over and squatted in front of the poor girl's stall, "How do you want to change these things?"
Zhang Tie's voice made the disappointed girl raise her head from her knees again. The girl's face could only be described as delicate, her figure was very flat, and she had some freckles on her face. She was dwarfed by the dazzling beauties around her. Clumsy, just like an ugly duckling, but the girl's blue eyes made Zhang Tie feel like he was looking at a clear stream.
"These wild blueberries and hawthorn fruits only cost half a catty Well, four taels of dry food can be exchanged, and two taels of meat are enough" Feeling Zhang Tie's eyes slightly scanning her body, the girl sat on the ground Her body bent down a little more, hiding her breasts behind her knees.
Gululu, the girl¡¯s protest against hunger in her stomach clearly reached Zhang Tie¡¯s ears, and the girl even lowered her head in embarrassment.
"Okay, I want all of these" Zhang Tie took out a half-kilogram piece of dry food from the food box he carried with him. After thinking about it, he put a small piece of beef jerky about one or two pounds on top of the dry food. .
"Thisthisis too much food!" The girl was surprised. She looked at Zhang Tie with a pair of beautiful blue eyes without blinking, as if she wanted to find something on Zhang Tie's face.
"Well I am a believer in the Cult of the Guardian God. Well I want to collect some plant seeds during this trial, but look at me, I am mining now and have no time to do it. , if it is convenient for you to pick wild fruits in the future, and it is not dangerous, you can help me collect some seeds. It doesn't matter what kind of plant it is. I will exchange it with you for food. The extra money will be counted. It¡¯s a deposit!¡± Zhang Tie said half-truthfully.
"Really?" The girl's eyes suddenly lit up.
Zhang Tie smiled, collected the two piles of slightly green fruits that the girl placed on the ground, and then pushed his food in front of the girl. Zhang Tie's actions were more convincing than anything else, and the girl suddenly He grabbed the food pushed in front of him tightly, fearing that Zhang Tie would regret it.
"May I have your name?"
"My name is Zhang Tie!"
"Then how can I find you after I collect the seeds?"
¡°I come here often, you don¡¯t have to come to me, I will come to you!¡±
With that said, Zhang Tie stood up, then took the bag of fruits and left. After walking seven or eight steps, Zhang Tie heard a timid voice from the girl behind him, "My name is Pandora"
Zhang Tie turned around, gave the girl named Pandora a smile, then picked up a hawthorn fruit, threw it in the air and caught it with his mouth, bit hard, and the sour fruit made Zhang Tie's face sour. She wrinkled up and pretended to be a failure. Seeing Zhang Tie's appearance, Pandora suddenly laughed. Then she felt as if these fruits were sold by herself. She quickly held back, covered her mouth with her hands, and looked again. Zhang Tieshi found that the black-haired young man carrying a mining basket waved to him and disappeared into the crowd
"Zhang Tie" The girl Pandora muttered the name several times in her mouth.

After completing today's mining task, Zhang Tie was debt-free. With some sour blueberries and hawthorns in his mouth, Zhang Tie went down the mountain while whistling, and then returned to the place where he was mining in the mine. There was still time before the end of work in the afternoon. Four or five hours, this period of time, to Zhang Tie, was completely his, and the hidden mine became the best place to practice without being disturbed. After working all morning, there were fewer people digging in the mine in the afternoon, and the sound of the mine manuscripts hitting the ore became even more rare.
??Zhang Tie sat down cross-legged in a relatively clean place in the mine, and then entered a state of cultivation. After carrying more than 100 kilograms of ore and completing an arduous ore delivery task, Zhang Tie discovered that , after the pain, my current state is surprisingly good. My whole body feels relaxed but full of energy. I heard others say that if you practice every time your body breaks through a physical limit, the effect of practice will be Very good, since there was still plenty of time in the afternoon, Zhang Tie decided to give it a try
