The mining point 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 railway track is Wild Wolf Castle Iron Smelting Workshop's stockyard. There is a steam engine in the stockyard. 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 car here is filled with ore, the upper steel cable pulls the mine car up along the rail. This section of rail and steam engine allow The efficiency of bringing the ore to Wild Wolf Castle has been greatly improved. Without such a thing, Zhang Tie really doubts whether anyone would be willing to mine. Walking more than a mile from the mine to carry the ore here, and having to climb a mountain carrying the ore again, it is really not a job that humans can do.
But even for jobs that those people can do, different people can 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 Wild Wolf Valley began to gradually rise again. Because of yesterday's rain, the valley was relatively humid everywhere. The rising temperature evaporated the water vapor from the ground, and the entire valley turned into a big steamer in the blink of an eye. It was so stuffy that people felt a little panicked.
Under such a temperature, carrying more than 100 kilograms of Mining Basket to complete a 1.5-kilometer trip was also a huge test for Zhang Tie. Along the way, Zhang Tie gritted his teeth and sweated profusely. He felt as if his shoulders were being rubbed until they were smoking. They all had to rest once after walking two to three hundred meters. Finally, when Zhang Tie put Mining Basket on the scale at the mining point with a clang, the different sound effects caused by the different weights made the boys at the mining point couldn't help but 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 really born to do this!" At this moment, Zhang Tie was so tired that he just wanted to lie on the ground and rest for half an hour. After hearing such a "compliment", he just turned around helplessly. He rolled his eyes and didn't care about whether what this guy said was praising him or hurting him. The boy who spoke took out a notebook, looked at the record on the scale, and then looked at the color of the ore in Mining Basket, and then started recording it in the notebook.
"With this basket... how many kilograms of ore did I carry today?" asked Zhang Tie, who had been breathing heavily for a long time.
"If you connect 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, the third time was 69 kilograms, and 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 few times. Zhang Tie's heart moved, and the 7-speed abacus in his mind instantly appeared. Almost when the man reported the third number of ores, Zhang Tie already knew the result, and then said 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've had here in the past few 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 saliva on his face.
"Yes!"
"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.
I watched a few guys here at the mining site pour their ore into the mine car. I casually exchanged some words with the guys here and rested for a while. According to the weight of the ore dug by Zhang Tie, Zhang Tie received another seventy taels of dry food, and then Zhang Tie took the dry food and the ugly Mining Basket on his back, climbed the mountain, and came to the small square of Wild Wolf Castle.
After unloading the burden of 100 kilograms, Zhang Tie gradually recovered his physical strength after a period of rest. He found that his foot strength was unprecedentedly light. This time he successfully challenged his limit again and created a small record among the unlucky guys. Zhang Tie is in a good mood, a little proud. It seems that the guy Tang De said it right, people are all forced to come out - this is a joke that can only be understood with the rich connotation of the Hua Clan's language and words.
The small square that had been resting for a day became 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 sell and exchange the wild fruits and vegetables they picked in these stalls. On the other side of the square, the The team of boys who come here every day to show off their "muscles" and prey are still noisily crowded together, chatting with the girls around them from time to time. In the past few days, more and more girls have begun to try to form a fixed trial team with boys. After getting to know each other for a period of time, both boys and girls have become bolder.
"Do you need wild blueberries and hawthorn fruits?" A voice from the stall nearby attracted Zhang Tie's attention. When Zhang Tie turned around, he saw a boy shaking his head and walking away. The girl who was setting up the stall had a slightly disappointed face, holding her feet with her hands and sitting on the ground. Above, in front of the girl, there was a lotus leaf. On the lotus leaf, there was a small pile of wild blueberries and hawthorn fruits, weighing less than half a kilogram, 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 and inconspicuous, and did not arouse the "appetite" of the animals at all.
Because Zhang Tie remembered that blueberry and hawthorn seeds had not been sown in Castle of Black Iron's space, so Zhang Tie walked over and squatted in front of the girl's poor 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, with a very flat figure and some freckles on her face. She was dwarfed by the dazzling beauties around her, just like an ugly duckling. However, the girl's blue eyes made Zhang Tie feel like she was looking at a clear stream.
"These wild blueberries and hawthorn fruits only cost half a catty... Well, you can exchange for four taels of dry food, and two taels for meat..." Feeling Zhang Tie's eyes slightly scanning her body, the girl sitting on the ground bent down a little more, hiding her breasts behind her knees.
Gululu, the girl's stomach's protest against hunger 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 piece of dry food weighing half a kilogram 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.
"This... this... is... 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 Church of the Guardian God. Well... I want to collect some plant seeds in this trial, but look at me. I am mining now and have no time to do it. If you pick wild fruits in the future, If it's convenient and it's not dangerous, you can just collect some seeds for me. It doesn't matter what kind of plant it is. I will exchange it with you for food, and the extra money will be regarded as 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. The girl immediately grabbed the food that was pushed in front of her, for fear that Zhang Tie would regret it.
"What's 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!"
After saying that, 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, "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, the sour fruit suddenly wrinkled Zhang Tie's face sourly, he failed to pretend, and saw Zhang Tie's Pandora suddenly laughed, and then felt as if these fruits were sold by himself. He quickly held back and covered his mouth with his hand. When he looked at Zhang Tie again, he found that the black-haired boy with Mining Basket on his back waved to him and disappeared into the crowd...
"Zhang Tie..." The girl Pandora said the name Weiwei several times.
After completing today's mining task, Zhang Tie was debt-free and went down the mountain while whistling some sour blueberries and hawthorns. Then he came back to where he was mining in the mine. There were still four or five hours before the end of work in the afternoon. During this period, for For Zhang Tie, it was completely his, and the hidden mine became the best place to practice without being disturbed. After working all morning, there were fewer people mining in the mine in the afternoon, and the sound of the ore tapping 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 one hundred kilograms of ore and completing an arduous mine delivery task, Zhang Tie found that after the pain, he now My condition was surprisingly good. I felt relaxed but full of energy all over my body. I heard from others that if you practice after your body breaks through a physical limit every time, the effect of practice will be very good. Anyway, there is still a lot of time in the afternoon, so Zhang Tie decided to give it a try...
There have been outbreaks in the past few days, thank you everyone for your support!
