Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 237: The Girl and the Great Black Wolf

Claude stood in a long breath as he watched McJackie and Big Grimes leave the camp on horseback. I couldn't help but think of a name to let them both go, because Claude didn't want to take these two with him to the mountain forest looking for the one who was hiding. A lot of things Claude didn't want them to discover, such as that he was a cyclical magician, and that he was hiding in the mountains, and Claude believed that he was probably a magician in the wild, and that ordinary people couldn't drive a black wolf that big.

Just to make Claude wonder, if the man hiding in the mountain forest who drives the black wolf is also a wild magician, then his character is really, what can I say, too poor to be true. Otherwise, based on the food that the village elder's old lady had put in the basket, Claude suspected that if the person hiding was himself, he would never have stayed in the mountain forest for long, and who could bear such rough food?

You know, the black bread, the salad and the salad are army rations, Claude, and if they don't stay in Squirrel Village, the villagers will be able to get their hands on the barbecue. Claude was even speculating that people hiding in the mountains would be handicapped, so he trained a wolf to trade drugs for food. But when you think about it, it's very unlikely, because yesterday there was an extra jar of wild honey in the basket of food exchanges, and it was very difficult for someone who wasn't agile to get that honey from a wild honeycomb, unless he trained another black bear who wasn't afraid of wild bees.

There is also the possibility that this hidden man is too manly to go out and would rather endure the suffering of food that is difficult to swallow than go down the mountain. This is also where Claude was curious, and last night, when he figured out a way to get Mike and Big Gummy out, Claude decided to go up the hill and see if the man who was hiding was a magician.

Packing up what you need to carry, carrying a backpack and a gun, Claude goes out and says hello to Marquette, which means he goes to the back of the mountain to see what other beasts are worth hunting for, and if he's not lucky, he may stay in the mountain for two days before returning. In a few days it will be rainy season, and once it rains, it will have to be nestled indoors for more than 20 days. So you have to go out and do more activities while it's not raining.

Markci was happy that he didn't want too much, or that he was still out of town with Claude, and even answered with a voice that he could safely go hunting in Camp Claude and guarantee that nothing would go wrong. Claude smiled and turned away, knowing that as long as he walked away, Markie would surely run into his room looking for those two bottles of good wine. The question is, can an old drunk find two bottles of good wine he's hiding? I knew he would steal it. How could he not hide the wine...

Claude didn't go up the mountain from the side of Squirrel Village, but from the left of the cantonment camp, there was a trail that went in, and it was a small valley of fourteen or five acres of mountain fields, the mountain fields opened by Squirrel Village and their largest grain fields. Winter wheat is now grown, but the ice and snow covered on it have not melted, and it appears to be white.

Claude remembers that there is also a trail to the mountains here in the valley, whether it's firewood or medicine collection. From here, the villagers of Squirrel Village will not find their whereabouts. It's just that the road up here is steep. It took Claude half a day to climb the hill. His uniform got dirt on him. He grabbed some white snow and rubbed it off, cleaned the dirt, and left the stains on his clothes behind.

Climbing the hillside is much easier, although the weather is a little warmer, there is also a little green in the mountain forest, and ice and snow melt in many places, revealing gray black and reddish-brown mountain rocks. But much of the mountain forest is still covered in thin white snow. The ground is wet, you need to be careful when walking, places without ice tend to stick mud, places with ice and snow are wet and slippery.

The villagers in Squirrel Village called the Back Mountain Falls and Big Pond a long way from where Claude is now. Claude needed to go through the pine forest in front of him, over the hills in front of him to reach the foot of the mountain in the distance, and went around a big circle. If you go up that trail north of Squirrel Village, it's at least half a mile away.

But that trail was a way for villagers to go up the hill to cut wood and collect medicine for mountain goods. Claude didn't want the villagers to find him up the hill, so the road was a long way away. Into the pine forest, as if to return to hunting in the woods when he was young, Claude forgot his military status, felt very free, unconstrained, and suddenly had a very happy mood.

There are few poisonous insects and vines in the pine grove, except that the leaves at the bottom of the dead branch are wet and slippery. Two hibernating early waking squirrels jumped over the pine branches, shocking a crisp bird chirp. Spring has quietly arrived, everything is back, and the pine forest is full of life.

Claude took off the gun on his back and was about to light a flame rope. Think about it. There are several pine chickens under the pine tree in front of them who are looking for food in the fallen branches, Claude wanted to shoot, but remembering that the sound of gunfire would spread far in the mountain forest, people would find themselves here, think about it or decide not to use guns, in the mountain forest anyway, whether or not guns are the same for him.

But the pine chickens were really fat, and Claude snuck in until five or six meters away to hide behind a pine tree. “Pfft, pfft, pfft," two spiritual shock spells threw over, two fat pine chickens fell on the ground and turned dizzy. Claude quickly walked past, and the remaining three pine chickens frightened into the depths of the pine forest. Claude didn't care either, he just grabbed the two winged pine chickens on the floor, broke their necks, hung them on his backpack, and lunch was the two pine chickens.

There are actually lots of delicious ingredients in the pine grove, and Claude picks some pine mushrooms and mouth mushrooms as he walks, which can be stuffed in the stomach of a chicken when it's called a wafer. It took over an hour to get out of this pine forest, Claude climbed onto the hill, took out a single telescope, and looked closely at the distant movement.

There were no anomalies, not even traces of human activity. It doesn't seem easy to find someone to hide in this mountain forest. Or go to the waterfall and the water pond in the back of the mountain and say, when you said you were going to visit the villagers so nervous, it seems that the person hiding should be operating in that area.

Once again, a small hill has been turned, and the water falling from the waterfall can be heard invisibly. Claude looked at the mountain ahead and chose a slope to go up the hill. The hillsides are mostly rocky, so don't worry about getting your clothes dirty. It was only when Claude finally climbed to the top that he found himself climbing overhead, in a small valley in the distance, and now standing on the top of a mountain beach.

Looking for a way down the mountain, Claude walked for another half hour to the valley and finally came to the top of the waterfall. There are several streams that come together to form this small waterfall hanging on the rocky walls of the small valley. Stand on top for panoramic views of the whole small valley.

Below the valley is a large green water pond, where waterfalls fall and flow out of the valley. On one side of the great pool is a gentle hillside with dense forests. The other three sides are cliffs. If Claude's going to be next to the big pool, he's going to have to make a big circle at the top of the valley, down the hillside tree on the other side.

Looking at the sky, it's probably after 2: 00 in the afternoon and I haven't eaten yet. Claude decides to be right at the top of the valley, next to a clear creek, and fix this pine chicken first, and then go down to the big pool after you've eaten.

Find some dead branches, put two pine chickens in the gut, wash their stomachs and shove them in pine mushrooms and mouth mushrooms, wrap them in mud balls, dig them in, light a fire on top of the dead branches, wait half an hour to start eating. In the meantime, you can wash your dirty uniform in the stream and use the bonfire to dry your clothes.

By the time Claude started eating, it was about 3: 00 p.m., and he pulled two slices of rye bread out of his backpack and ate it with the stuffy chicken juice of a pine chicken, looking down at the valley. He had just taken a good look at a small valley with a single telescope and found no sign of human activity. It made him wonder why the villagers were so taboo to come and wander around if the hiding people weren't working here.

When he was about to eat, Claude suddenly found movement in the woods on that hillside of the valley, and he hurriedly put out the bonfire. Fortunately, those dead branches were dry, there was no black smoke on fire, and the wind at the top of the mountain prevented the people below from finding a bonfire. Lying behind a rock, Claude scouted out and stared silently at the valley below.

There was a big black wolf in the woods, and he quickly and familiarly lay down on a big rock on the edge of a big pool. This is the big black wolf who swapped food in the hillside woods behind Squirrel Village that night, and Claude recognized it at a glance. Spiritually shocked, finally found its trail, but what's wrong with this big black wolf running to the rock by the big pool to lie down, this place doesn't look like its old nest...

There was another noise riot in the woods, with several little trees shaking, and a big black bear wandering out of the woods. Oddly enough, the black bear looked a little strange, walked a little floating, seemed thin, and walked on both feet, one step at a time to the big pool.

Instead of looking at the black bear, the big black wolf walked beside it and poured water on it from the pool. The big black wolf whimpered a few times, but he couldn't move.

Strange, what does this black bear want? Does he want to drink water or catch fish by the big pool...

Suddenly, this big black bear stood up and his chest split to both sides. A long, white demon with black hair came out naked and slipped into the big pool very lightly...

This, this black bear is dressed as a young woman, no wonder it looks so weird and uncoordinated. Claude stared at the shadow of the woman swimming around in the big pool, bending down and reaching into the stream next to her left hand to explore the temperature of the water, um, it seemed a little warm, no wonder this woman would swim in the big pool...

Claude lifted a single telescope and carefully peeked. The woman who was swimming in the big pool was actually a teenage girl, estimated to be sixteen or seventeen years old. Her chest was quite predictable, and her body should be in a developmental stage, juvenile and innocent. Long black hair with a few green slants on his face is like watching special forces disguise themselves on his face before they go on TV in a previous life, but his face is beautiful, not like an oval or a melon face, but a combination of the two. The eyes are large and can't tell what color they are, they appear to be black and purple.

The big black wolf suddenly stood up on the big rock next to the big pool, sticking out his nose and trying to smell something in the air, and quickly looked up at Claude's location and roared out loud.

Obviously, the aromas of the two pine chickens were so intense that they finally floated to the bottom of the valley and were smelled by the big black wolf. Less than 30 meters from the top below, the big black wolf quickly discovered Claude hiding there...

The girl raised her head in the pool and looked at the big black wolf in the direction of a growl. Peeping was caught on the spot, somewhat embarrassing. Claude thought about it and stood up and waved to her: “Hey...”

The girl panicked and swimmed to the shore, climbing out of the water and drilling into the skin of the big bear on the ground, then fell into the hillside woods and ran. The big black wolf roared at Claude a few times and followed her.

Claude shouted on it: "Hey, wait, I didn't mean to...”

No one cared about him. Soon there was no movement in the hillside woods, but the wind blew past.
