Chapter 14: The Red Cloak

Handing a bag to David, who was sitting next to her, Laura had a look of anticipation on her face. But David always felt that Laura's expression was abnormal, as if there was some fun waiting to be watched.

He didn't think too much about it, and there was no way Laura was going to send him a bomb or something, it was just a prank at best.

I took the bag into my hand, and as soon as I opened the bag, I saw a red blob: "What is this?" ”

Reaching out to pull out the contents of the bag, David, who stood up, only shook a little to see what was in his hand: "A cloak?" ”

A cloak with a hood, it's not something strange, it's even practical, it's just that the color is ......

"Yes, a cloak, put it on and see." Afraid that David would refuse, Laura stood up directly and put the cloak on David, and even buckled the hood to David's head: "Isn't it good?" ”

David looked at the red cloak with white fur edges, and there were ten thousand words in his heart that wanted to vomit: "It feels good, it's just this color ......"

"Oh, in my world, red cloaks are only worn by the best hunters." Laura explained solemnly, without a smile on her face: "It's an honor." ”

"Is that so?" David looked at Laura and then at Mark...... Mark, who covered his mouth, nodded solemnly - now David and Furding both know that Laura and Mark are both from a place called Earth and live in similar times, but Laura's world does not have a Mars exploration program, which determines that the two are not from the same Earth.

"Well, thank you so much for the gift!" I secretly said in my heart: I wrote down this matter! David took off his cloak and carefully retracted it into the bag: "Such an important gift, I will keep it well!" ”

"Well, now that the weather is getting warmer, you can't use it, you can wait until it's cold to take it out." With the passage of time, the temperature is gradually warming, and there is no need to light a fire to warm up when you sleep at night.

The real meaning of Laura's words is not to say that the cloak will not be needed for the time being, but the point is to let David wait until it is cold to wear it: "It's a pity, in my world, the legendary hunter is wearing a red cloak to kill the evil gray wolf, which is a good moral considering what you are going to do." ”

David could only express his gratitude again: "I bothered you." ”

Laura nodded in satisfaction, and then gave Mark a portable hard drive with a large number of songs stored - he could finally get rid of the pile of disco music that Captain Lewis had left behind.

"It's amazing." During this time, Mark only complained to Laura about his captain's bad taste, because he felt that it was difficult for both Ferding and David to understand his pain, and he didn't expect Laura to really save him.

In the end, Laura gave Fording a two-handed heavy sword made by Seiko, although she sent some cold weapons made by modern technology some time ago, but they are basically one-handed swords, short knives, daggers and other weapons, Fording felt that these weapons were of good quality after using them, but they were too light to use.

At this time, I was very happy to get the weapon in my hand, and after expressing my gratitude to Laura, I also began to think about what kind of gift I could give in return?

Thinking about it, it seems that he has nothing to do with the knowledge related to the Light, maybe he could consider going back to Azeroth and getting some other knowledge? I just don't know what Laura is interested in?

A meal until the moon rises high, for a few people who are used to going to bed early and waking up early, it is already late today.

After quickly tidying up the table and keeping the rest of the food properly, they went back to their cabins to rest.

Maybe it was the new bed that was many times more comfortable than in previous years, or maybe it was because he had drunk a lot of alcohol, but David fell asleep quickly after lying down, and even had all kinds of sweet dreams, such as Laura wearing only a red cloak......

Opening his eyes and lying on his comfortable new bed, David didn't want to get up at all.

Since he crossed over to this backward world, this is the first time he has the idea of lying on the bed, it is really that the new bed is too comfortable, and the sealing effect of the quilt has been strengthened I don't know how many times, and he almost couldn't break free.

"Thankfully, my mental will is strong enough."

Get up and wash up!

When David walked out of his cabin, he found that everyone had already gotten up, and Mark had already made breakfast: "Hey, David! It's rare to get up so late today. ”

"yes, the new bed is so comfortable that I almost don't want to get up."

"Hahaha! I thought it was because you drank too much last night. In Mark's eyes, David is a young man living in a backward world, living in difficult conditions and not having access to modern alcoholic beverages, and it is normal for his body to be uncomfortable.

"So how can a little wine knock me down?"

Sitting at the square table, everyone decided what they wanted to do while eating breakfast: Fordin would stay in the village and be responsible for demolishing two of the four temporary wooden huts that were previously in use, and the remaining two would be used as warehouses in the future.

According to the plan that David and several people said, after the completion of the housing of several people, the temporary wooden houses will be demolished one after another, such as the kitchen and warehouse will be rebuilt to be more durable, these works are not urgent, and they will be slowly built in the following days.

After inspecting the potato fields, Mark will go to the Mars base to start his Mars potato project - without using any resources from the Winter Village, and completely relying on the resources of the Mars base, which is a research project arranged by Mark as a botanist.

The project was a bit of a hassle in the early days, so Mark spent most of the day on Mars, only coming back to eat and sleep.

"The two of us go to the forest to the north and wipe out the wolves if we can." Putting the last bite of potatoes and homemade bacon into his mouth, David reminded Laura: "Bring enough weapons, because I don't know what else will happen in the forest besides wolves." ”

"Understood!"

"If you get into trouble, send a flare!" Furding finally told David and Laura to inform him when they were in unsolvable danger, and he would rush to the aid as quickly as possible.

David nodded, with the strength of Ferdin, he felt that there should be no enemy near Winter Village that he couldn't solve!

After changing into new clothes for mobility (the training uniform that Laura bought), making sure that the first-aid medicine, ropes, water, and ammunition were all ready, Davy also inserted a berserk hunter revolver and a hand axe on each side of his waist, lifted the brand-new hunting bow, and hung the quiver on his waist.

After making sure that he could pull the arrow as soon as he reached out to the lower back, David turned his head to look at Laura.

Similar to her own situation, Laura was also fully armed, carrying an extra shotgun in addition to a bow and pistol, and a pair of pickaxes and axes were inserted in her waist more than David.

Looking at the outfits of the two, it is impossible to tell whether they are going on adventures, hunting or going to war - Mark Watney language.

Waving at Mark, David and Laura headed north into the forest, and after a stretch of empty plains and a not-so-steep slope, David and Laura stepped into the forest.

The temperature that was still comfortable seemed to drop by several degrees in an instant, and the feeling of coolness invaded the body from all directions, as if the whole forest was greeting two outsiders.

"It's cool here......"

After moving quietly for a while, I couldn't see Winter Village in the distance, and I saw huge trees that had turned green.

"Have you been here before?"

"Nope." To Laura's question, David was quick to answer: "I used to be at the edge of the forest, and I would even go around the forest in search of prey, and I wouldn't go deep into the forest. ”

The last time he was attacked by wolves, it was the deepest he had ever gone into the forest, and that encounter proved that Davy's previous caution was correct.

"I didn't expect you to be such a cautious character." Although they had known each other for a while, Laura felt that she didn't know enough about David, and even didn't know as much about Ferdinβ€”yes, Laura searched for Tirio Ferding after she went back, and she gained a lot!

But searching for David yielded no useful information, and the name David was so common that she couldn't determine which of those search results corresponded to the young man next to her.

Of course, she did not rule out the possibility that David did not exist in any record of her world, and such a completely unknown existence made Laura even more curious.

"If a hunter is not cautious enough, he will die in the mouth of a beast." This was not David's perception, but a phrase that the old hunter who had raised and taught him kept repeating and at the same time he recognized.

"So, Ling is now the head of Winter Village, a hunter, and a priest of the Holy Light." Laura thinks this class combination is quite novel: "You learn fighting skills with Tirio every day, and you want to be a part-time warrior?" ”

"Anyway, there are no restrictions, it's always good to have more things, so that I can calmly deal with various situations." David carefully observed his surroundings, but he never saw any signs of wild beasts, let alone wolves.

There was an unexpected bonus: "These should be ores?" ”

Looking at the hill in front of him, which was not as tall as the surrounding trees, David carefully looked at the stones on the ground that shone with various metallic sheens.

Laura crouched down for a moment before giving the answer: "It's copper ore and iron ore, which should be good news for you?" ”

"Of course!" The discovery of easy-to-dig metal ore near the village is of course a good thing for the development of the village: "With these ores, it is not in vain today." ”

After walking around the hill for a short half circle, David and Laura found a naturally formed cave, and just as David was about to light a torch to go in and take a look, he looked at Laura next to him in confusion.
