Chapter 12: January
Tang Chen leaned against the tree with his back and handled the rattan in his hand. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The thick calluses on the palm of his hand made him not need to worry about the protrusions on the rattan, and Tang Chen weaved extremely fast. The two thin vines continued to flip with his movements, and after a while, the thin vines became a standard rattan rope. Tang Chen put the rattan rope aside, got up and walked to the fire, added some dry firewood to it, and the flames happily pounced, and the fire was raging for a while. Tang Chen did not return to the tree to continue his work as usual, he squatted in front of the fire and did not say a word.
Compared with when he first fell off the cliff, Tang Chen has changed significantly.
The white skin was tanned, the delicate hands were covered with calluses, the weight was a few pounds lighter, but it was stronger and stronger, the body had extra slightly raised muscles, and the chest, abdomen, back, arms, and thighs, as well as long and short scars, were all traces left by the collision with the cliff.
In the past, Tang Chen had never slept more than two hours a day except for work and cultivation.
God rewards hard work, and hard work has its own reward.
Today happened to be the month of falling into the valley, and he completed the first advance camp 100 meters above the ground in the afternoon.
Compared to the sheer amount of work required for the entire Ladder project, the work he had done now was nothing short of worth mentioning, and there was still a long way to go. However, Tang Chen still decided to rest for one night, which should be a reward for his hard work during this time, so that his tired body and mind could get a chance to recuperate.
Standing up and jumping on the spot, grabbing the hammock firmly with both hands, Tang Chen quickly flipped over.
He folded his hands behind his head and lay in the hammock, stretching and opening his body to try to make himself feel comfortable. The long-lost rest experience, coupled with the gentle shaking of the hammock, Tang Chen seemed to have returned to his carefree childhood, comfortable and comfortable. He let out a deep sigh, feeling the rare leisure and tranquility with his heart.
The hammock is made of rattan rope, and there are many rattan ropes that do not meet the standard length, so they are just used to make use of it.
Tang Chen's original intention of weaving the hammock was to have a place to continue working when the black beetle burrowed out of the ground. As Tang Chen and the cat's daily demand for food increases, Tom needs to hunt in a larger area, which makes Tang Chen, who is afraid of black beetles, uneasy. If little Tom was more than five meters away from him when the insect tide appeared, Tang Chen might be attacked by the black beetle. Although this situation has not yet occurred, Tang Chen still decided to make a hammock.
During the insect tide activity period, Tang Chen can temporarily avoid its front on it.
The flight altitude of the black beetle is no more than half a meter, while the shortest distance of the hammock from the ground is more than one meter, so there is no need to worry about safety. However, the stability of the hammock could not be solved, and Tang Chen could not meditate and breathe on it, so he mostly lay on it to weave rattan ropes or enter the magic circle.
It was very comfortable to lie on top of the hammock.
Tang Chen closed his eyes, and his breathing gradually became longer.
Little Tom was going to surprise him a little.
The cat is very smart and never makes a mess when Tang Chen is busy, and when Tang Chen is busy, it either plays by itself or is in a daze on the side. Tang Chen is its only companion, but this companion always makes it feel lonely, loneliness can kill people, and naturally it can also kill cats, especially innocent, lively and fearless kittens.
Cats feel they should do something to make someone face up to their existence.
It slowly got up and paced gracefully with a catwalk, circling under the hammock, whirling and observing.
The cat's four paws had thick pads of flesh, and the sound it made when it moved was extremely low, at least Tang Chen was unaware of its movements. The cat ran to the tree, and climbed up in a few vertical leaps, and the kitten carefully stepped on the rattan rope with its front legs, and soon all four legs stepped on the same rattan rope, and the kitten trembled towards the center of the hammock.
It decided to launch a surprise attack on Tang Chen!
The kitten has to follow this rattan rope to the hammock position.
The road was not easy to walk, the rope was very narrow and unstable, and the kitten stepped on the rope, raising its tail to try to keep its balance, but still dangling as if it were drunk, and after a few steps, it was empty. The sharp claws of the busy kitten stretched out from the gap between the toes, the front paws grabbed the rattan rope tightly, the two hind legs kicked in the air, and the small body went up and down with the shaking of the rattan rope, and it looked like it could fall down at will.
Rao was so, and little Tom didn't make a sound.
It hung almost upside down on the rope, tilting its head to observe Tang Chen's movements, and seeing that Tang Chen was still lying still, the kitten breathed a sigh of relief. I just hung upside down and moved my front and back legs alternately, and continued to move towards the hammock!
At this moment, the rattan rope suddenly shook violently, and the kitten fell without any suspense.
"Teasing again!"
Tang Chen sat up and looked at the kitten gloatingly, giving a merciless taunt by the way.
"Meow!"
The kitten whispered, got up from the ground, kicked his legs hard, grabbed the edge of the hammock with his front paws, and flipped over in three or two strokes. The kitten crawled into Tang Chen's arms and lay down, licking the dirty fur on his body with his tongue, and his big round eyes looked at Tang Chen from time to time, his eyes were full of confusion and confusion.
Tang Chen stroked the back of the kitten's neck, and said angrily: "The rope shakes so hard, will I feel it?"
"Meow ......"
"Tom, still can't you remember the past?"
"Meow ......" the kitten replied in a low voice, with a gloomy voice.
Tang Chen sighed lightly, and also used some helplessness.
The kitten is obviously in its juvenile stage, it is impossible for it to appear in this valley out of thin air, Tang Chen originally thought that there must be a big cat in the valley, but after communicating with the kitten many times, Tang Chen found that it was not the case at all, the kitten had never seen the same kind of cat!
The kitten has been in this valley for as long as he can remember, and when he first opened his eyes, there was a bunch of black beetles in front of him, and with this little guidance, the kitten knew that it could use the black beetles as food and survive tenaciously in the valley alone. Although the kitten is intelligent, it has not yet been able to form a clear concept of time, and it is not known how long the kitten has been in the valley before meeting Tang Chen.
Looking at the kitten's gloomy and dodgy eyes, Tang Chen felt inexplicably distressed.
"Tom, you're thinking about your mom and dad again......"
"They should have a reason to keep you here......"
"Actually, it's not bad now, just the two of us, there are endless worms......"
"You can come with me......"
"They'll look for you......"
The kitten lay quietly in Tang Chen's arms, its body trembled slightly, and its throat made a rhythmic whiring sound, as if it was snoring. It stretched out its front legs, put Tang Chen's hand that had been stroking it to his chest, and licked his palm with his tongue.
It was the first time for Tang Chen to enjoy this kind of treatment, his palms were itchy, and this feeling was very warm.
With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Tang Chen fell asleep.
In the morning, the wind blew in the valley, and it was very comfortable to blow on his body, and Tang Chen was lazy and didn't want to move until he heard the call of the kitten.
Tang Chen sat up suddenly!
The screams came from afar, with panic!
