003 Starry Night

On the morning of the 314th day, Zhang Xiangyang and Steelmane crossed the river together. Baidu search, more good free reading.

The time chosen is in the morning when it is warmer, when the river is calm and there are not too many aquatic animals approaching.

After crossing the river, Zhang Xiangyang and Steel Mane dragged the bamboo raft to a distance of 30 meters from the river beach and pressed it with large stones.

On their way back, they had to pass through here.

There is a lot of red mud in the shallow water near the river beach, and this dark red substance, which gathers together like paint, is the raw material of iron.

After smelting this clay, you can refine iron filings like grains of sand.

Human civilization has lasted for a long time, but in the era of Zhang Xiangyang's existence, many, many metals were manufactured every year.

Although I don't know the exact number, at that time, the world was probably producing at least 100 million tons per year.

Nothing can be preserved for too long, and although the history of mankind is tens of thousands of years, many things came out around the twentieth century.

Most items have a lifespan in years, not centuries or millennia.

The once indestructible metal, tempered by the years and the wind and sand, has not even left rust.

The stone was also polished, and Zhang Xiangyang had been gone for several days, but he still couldn't find any traces of human beings.

In the surface world where iron molecules are active, there are many places where minerals are mixed with iron molecules.

It's just that these things are not iron ore in the true sense of the word, but more like rust-stained mud that has evolved into an iron clay that is easy to find by the river.

Zhang Xiangyang found purer mineral soil near the river, as well as edible plants and a few peanuts. Baidu search, more good free reading.

At first, Zhang Xiangyang did not recognize these green plants as peanuts, but when the steel mane approached, he turned the plants out with his nose, and Zhang Xiangyang saw the root fruits hidden under the soil.

The fruit of peanuts grows under the soil, and Zhang Xiangyang collected some peanuts after discovering them.

These will be great snacks for the road and good dry food.

Before he walked a place, Zhang Xiangyang would leave a portrayal nearby, and he would also mark the terrain and specialties on his map.

Peanut: Dicotyledonous plant with green reticular veins and peanut seeds coated with peels.

Continue along the long road.

Zhang Xiangyang doesn't sit on the steel mane all the time, and many times he comes down and walks with the steel mane.

The steel mane is still very small and very playful, and Zhang Xiangyang will also run and chase with the steel mane, find food together, and take a bath together.

It's not just to play with Steelmane, but also to kill time, and it's not so boring.

Under the sun's rays, Zhang Xiangyang ran quickly in front.

The road ahead is a crumbling road overgrown with weeds.

The roads here have long been covered with wild vegetation, and sometimes some crops can be seen in them, presumably degraded corn and legumes.

These seeds have deteriorated many times over, and they are no longer what they used to be.

The roads are not smooth, but relatively smooth, and the traces of industrialization have been overthrown by vigorous weeds and shrubs, and in some places they have been highlighted by the growth of plants.

Zhang Xiangyang is accustomed to running under this kind of terrain, and compared to the kind of terrain in the mountains and forests, this relatively flat place can be regarded as lucky.

Rats, wild birds, flying insects, snakes, and some strange creatures scattered everywhere because of Zhang Xiangyang's approach.

There are also some more ferocious small animals, showing their teeth and claws in place, making fierce sounds.

Soon, a big guy ran past at a fast pace.

The thick hooves easily trample small objects to death, leaving a deep pit in the ground.

Steelmane likes to play running games with Zhang Xiangyang, and when running, Steelmane will feel very happy.

The weight on his body is used to steelmane, and he is a little faster now than he was when he was a child.

When I was a child, I didn't have much room to run, so the steel mane didn't run for a while.

It seems that there is a road that will never end here.

Soon, Steelmane was a little tired, it was not very good at this kind of long high-speed running, and the burst did not last long.

Zhang Xiangyang had been running for more than two minutes, and after feeling the movement behind him, he reduced his speed and looked back at the steel mane.

Seeing that the steel mane began to walk slowly, Zhang Xiangyang waved his hand, "Steel mane, hurry up"

Steelmane quickly trotted over and gasped as soon as he got close to Zhang Xiangyang, looking tired.

Zhang Xiangyang didn't force it, and slowly walked forward, "Let's go, walk slowly, take a walk." ”

Steelmane let out a snort and walked over to Zhang Xiangyang's side.

Zhang Xiangyang touched the neck of the steel mane, the steel mane is not lacking in endurance, it can walk a long distance in a day and will not be tired, but the explosive power is weak, and it is not used to running at high speed.

High-speed running refers to the kind of running that sprints with all your might, and if you run normally, you can run for half an hour.

In the evening, Zhang Xiangyang found some berries and plants nearby for Steelmane to eat.

Steelmane's luck today was not very good and he didn't find prey nearby.

Having simply eaten something, Steelmane soon fell asleep next to the fire.

Zhang Xiangyang sat opposite the steel mane, slowly roasting the vole meat he caught from the ground.

After the roasting, Zhang Xiangyang used a stick to stick the roasted vole next to the mouth of the steel mane.

The sleeping steel mane quickly closed his eyes and opened his mouth, gently biting the rat meat on the stick, and only after Zhang Xiangyang pulled the stick out did he bite it down, closing his eyes and slowly eating.

The current steel mane belongs to the time of half-awakeness.

As long as he is not full, even if he is sleepy, Steel Mane will not refuse the temptation of food.

Zhang Xiangyang smiled, he was full, but he was not sleepy.

Steelmane, like the rest of the wild boars, lacks vigilance when sleeping, and many times it is not a wise choice to let Steelmane come to keep vigil.

The stars are shining tonight, and in the blue night sky, there is a beautiful night view that cannot be seen in peacetime.

The moon is bright and bright, and Zhang Xiangyang doesn't like this big moon.

"I don't know what happened to Wu Sang."

It's been almost half a month since he left Changzhu Mountain, and Zhang Xiangyang hasn't gone too far, but sometimes when he looks back at the road behind him, he will stand there stunned for a few minutes.

The temperature gradually dropped, and the sound of insects chirping around me was still there, and after slowly entering the middle of the night, I finally couldn't resist the sleepiness of the journey.

Zhang Xiangyang walked to the side of the steel mane and leaned down, covered himself with the thick fur, and used the firelight and the body temperature of the fire boar behind him to survive this cold night.
