After eating slowly, some of us simmered a cup of hot milk by the fire, while others simmered a cup of hot coffee.

Coffee drinkers must be on duty at night, divided into two parts, one person on the eve and another person on the night after, not for anything else to prevent any accidents.

Zhang Chi followed everyone to simmer a cup of hot milk, and when it was almost hot, he took a sip in his hand, and then put the cup next to the fire.

At this moment, everyone's sleeping bags are now unfolded, and branches are spread under the sleeping bags to isolate the cool air on the ground. Everyone spread out their makeshift bunks around the fire.

No one spoke during the meal, and no one spoke at the moment, everyone sucked in the contents of their cups, and was ready to sleep well for tomorrow's work.

The cows were honest at this time, and even the most naughty calves did not make a fuss when the lights were dark, and they carefully snuggled up to the cows, some of the calves were milking, and some of the calves were rolling up their limbs at their mother's side and began to nap.

The big cows and sturdy bulls kept the cows and calves in the herd, and the habits of the ancestral bison were still preserved in them.

The big cows stood in their positions, their heads rushing out, and their mouths kept chewing on the grass they had eaten in their stomachs today.

At this time, it is obvious that they can't eat the ingredients, so they take out the grass that has been eaten in their stomachs and chew it again.

Zhang Chi's gun has been placed next to the sleeping bag, in order to be safe, there are no bullets in the chamber, but if there is anything, the bullet is in the small bullet sleeve of the gun body, although there are only five, but it should be enough for emergencies.

After all, they were facing beasts, not humans with guns.

After drinking a glass of milk and feeling warm in his stomach, Zhang Chi took off his shoes, unbuttoned his coat and got into his sleeping bag.

The pillow is a saddle.

It's a little uncomfortable to have your head resting on the saddle, but now is not the time to think about comfort, and it's good to have a cushion for your head at this time.

What's more, after a busy day, Zhang Chi is really a little tired.

After getting into the sleeping bag, Zhang Chi fell asleep, and the little snoring also started.

The others also fell asleep one after another, and soon the whole camp was snoring.

Just when Zhang Chi was sleeping, he suddenly felt that he heard something, opened his eyes and listened carefully, and understood that there was a wild wolf nearby.

Whew~Whew!

The wolf's cry startled Zhang Chi and immediately turned over.

Because he heard it, the wild wolf was nearby, which made Zhang Chi a little nervous.

At this time, Charles's voice came from Zhang Chi's ears: "It's okay, you continue to sleep."

"What time is it?" Zhang Chi asked.

Charles was in the second half of the night, so it was at least one o'clock in the morning.

Holding a coffee cup in one hand and taking a sip, Charles looked at the watch on his wrist: "At half past three in the morning, it will be dawn in more than two hours."

"The wolves are coming," Zhang Chi asked again.

Charles nodded: "Here we are, these opportunists have already arrived, the beef makes them salivate, but they won't attack us, at most they just circle around the neighborhood a few times, and they will understand that the cattle are guarded when they see the campfire."

Zhang Chi turned his head to look around, and found that on the other side of the small lake, there was a black shadow, and there were two green eyes like small lamps in the black shadow.

That's when the wolf didn't run away.

The wolf is only separated from the herd by a small lake, and now most of the lake is frozen, and a cow may trample the ice, but a wild wolf will certainly not be able to step on it.

That is, if a wild wolf wants to attack a herd, it is very easy.

The cattle also felt the presence of the wild wolves at this moment, but their eyesight was very bad at night and they did not know the location of the wild wolves, so the cattle were tightly huddled together, and the circle was reduced by half or more than at the beginning.

All the cattle dogs were also very energetic, standing on the edge of the lake one by one, looking at the wild wolves opposite, with a calm appearance.

Not a single cowdog made a sound at the moment, and the dog and the wolf just looked at each other across the ice.

Zhang Chi was a little nervous, because he saw that in the dark forest opposite, several more shadows appeared, and the same two small lamp-like eyes, like ghost fire at night, looked a little infiltrating.

"Go back to sleep, there is still work to do tomorrow," Charles said to Zhang Chi.

Seeing that Charles was so determined, Zhang Chi's heart relaxed and nodded at him.

Charles added: "Do you want a glass of milk, it's easy to fall asleep when you warm up."

Zhang Chi shook his head: "No need."

After saying that, Zhang Chi lay down, retracted his head back into the sleeping bag, and pulled up the coat covering the sleeping bag to cover his face.

Even if he slept next to the fire, Zhang Chi still felt that the cold air of the middle of the night went straight into the cracks of his sleeping bag. may be really tired, this cold air can't stop Zhang Chi's sleepiness, and after a while, Zhang Chi fell asleep again.

By the time I opened my eyes again, there was a lot of movement in the camp, and it was clear that everyone was ready.

It was still the darkest hour before dawn, but by this time the fire had reached its maximum, and the bright flames illuminated the camp for more than ten meters.

However, it also made the surroundings appear darker, and even the stars in the sky seemed to have lost their original brightness at the moment.

Garcia said to Zhang Chi at this time: "Awake? Get up and have a hot cup of coffee to refresh yourself."

Zhang Chi reached out and took the cup handed over by Garcia, the cup was a little hot, but at this time, a cup of hot coffee could indeed relieve people from sleepiness.

took a sip gently, and the bitter taste of the coffee made Zhang Chi feel a little more refreshed.

After a cup of coffee, Zhang Chi got out of his sleeping bag, put on his coat and pants, put on his boots and laces them tightly.

The boots were quite warm after a night of baking.

From time to time, there will be a sour smell wafting on the camp.

No need to ask, I don't know whose stinky feet smell.

At this time, everyone is not very particular, in total, just a few days, it will be over, where will you complain about whose stinky feet.

Nell and the other cowboy had been working as chefs, so they had to start making breakfast together.

You can deal with it at noon, but you can't deal with two meals in the morning and evening, so that everyone is full, and there must be enough oil supply, otherwise people will be very uncomfortable in such a cold environment.

The frozen beef and bacon had been thawed by the fire, and the vegetables and everything else had been taken out of the bag and leaned against the fire.

In addition to these, there are dehydrated vegetables, which is about this morning's soup.

After getting up, Zhang Chi cleaned up, rolled up the sleeping bag and put it in the bag, and then sat next to the fire like a big guy and roasted the fire.

About half an hour later, the camp was soaked with the aroma of meat, and at this moment, no matter how unpalatable the meat became, it became penetrating, not to mention that the craftsmanship of the two cowboys was good, and the kung fu of the barbecue had reached a certain level, and the meat was tender and delicious, and the juice was fat and delicious.

In the morning, Zhang Chi didn't pick a cowboy steak, but directly picked a piece of rib-eye steak, and the side was hung with a pure white fat bar.

The hot soup is a soup made from dehydrated vegetables, which can be drunk as soon as it is boiled, and it tastes very good.

The dipping sauce is still the black pepper that Zhang Chi likes, the cut eye meat steak, and there is not a little hemoglobin beloved by some domestic petty bourgeoisie, and with a gentle press of the fork in his hand, the clear and transparent gravy fat seeps out from between the pink meat walls, and the roast is not raw, which is quite good.

Cut off a finger-thick steak meat, dip it in the dipping sauce, put it in the mouth, the taste of black pepper mixed with the fatness of beef fat, irritate the taste buds of the mouth, fat but not greasy, fresh but not loose, chewy and not stuffed teeth, and melt in the middle.

Book of Hundred Leagues

Immediately, Zhang Chi nodded slightly with satisfaction.

After a mouthful of vegetable soup, the fat in his mouth disappeared immediately.

A whole piece of almost five or six hundred grams of naked eye, accompanied by a bowl of vegetable soup, quickly entered Zhang Chi's stomach, and the cold air in the early morning weakened a little in an instant.

After eating, the sky also brightened, and a red cloud rose on the eastern ridge, indicating that the sun would soon descend on the earth.

Although the sun is not very hot at this time, it is always a joy to see the sun, and it is at least much better for pedestrians than on a cloudy day.

The sun without heat became more and more ruddy, and when they jumped out of the ridge, Zhang Chi and the others had already driven the cattle out of more than a mile.

Looking up at the sun, Zhang Chi felt that it looked like a duck egg yolk, or the kind of duck egg yolk that was bubbling with red oil.

Thinking of the duck egg yolk, Zhang Chi felt as if he was about to start drooling.

I have eaten all my pickled duck eggs, and I wonder if I should go to Aunt Phil's house to get a jar of duck eggs to marinate some when I go back, or exchange goose eggs with Aunt Phil?

I haven't paid attention these days, and I don't know how many eggs and goose eggs this guy Cannon's has collected.

The herd is still moving along the cow road, the speed is still outrageously slow, but it is still moving forward, getting closer and closer to the finish line.

During the lunch break, it was still a small Chinese hot pot, and the big guy still didn't talk nonsense, eating with his head buried in himself, and Charles fed his eagle and mink here.

But now Zhang Chi is not interested in watching it, he now crosses his legs when he eats, because when they are together, the inside of his legs hurts, and it is obvious that the skin is worn out.

Zhang Chi didn't scream, let alone say, he knew that every cowboy came over like this, but because people didn't hurt it, it was because everyone had already hurt, and the skin that grew out was so strong that they ignored this kind of wear.

Chiyan Mountain snorted gently, two white mist erupted from the two nostrils, a calf wanted to play a slippery head, Zhang Chi gently took the reins, and Chiyan Mountain was horizontal in front of the calf.

Seeing the noose thrown up, the calf honestly returned to the herd, looking for the next opportunity.
