Night’s Nomenclature - Chapter 108
[One hundred and seven, middle-aged and teenagers]
In the dark night in the wilderness, strangers in the camp always feel a little novel.
Almost everyone around the bonfire looked at the middle-aged and teenagers from a distance.
The teenager threw the mountaineering bag heavily on the ground, and there was a thud, and everyone could hear how heavy the mountaineering bag was.
The middle-aged man didn’t mean to help at all, but simply found a stone and sat down, waiting for the young man to light a fire and cook.
The young girl always felt that this young man was not at all the son of a rich family as his brother said, but more like a servant of a middle-aged man.
Seeing this scene, the old man Qin Cheng said: “That boy should not be a rich boy, I can tell from the sound, the mountaineering bag should be at least 50 kilograms, and it must be more than 100 kilometers away from our nearest city. The nearest federal government It takes more than 40 kilometers to advance to the base. Walking more than 40 kilometers with 50 jins of things on your back, which rich children in the upper three districts can endure such hardships?”
At this point, the boy had skillfully pulled out a small folded pony from his bag.
The middle-aged man sat firmly on the maza, and the young man took out a reader from his bag and handed it to him.
Beside the bonfire, the young Qin Tong suddenly hesitated for a moment: “It really doesn’t look like a child from a rich family.”
While speaking, the teenager took out a silver thermos cup from the mountaineering bag, and then skillfully filled a cup of tea with the lid and handed it to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man nodded with satisfaction, and continued to look at the reader in his hand, as if he didn’t hear anything outside the window and only wanted to read the news.
At this point, the young man just breathed a sigh of relief…
He sat on the big rock and gasped for only a few seconds, then took a hand axe from his mountaineering bag, picked the thinnest tree trunk not far away, cut it off, and picked up some dry branches and piled them together.
He even neatly set up a tripod on the pyre with branches, and hung a small pot to prepare for cooking.
“The technique of camping is very skilled,” said Qin Tong, who was beside the campfire. “But it’s very strange. This boy’s skin is also very fair. He should be someone who rarely comes to the wilderness.”
Compared with the fairness of the middle-aged and young people over there, Qin Tong and Qin Cheng have dark skin, and at first glance, they live in a windy and sunny environment all year round.
The intense UV rays stripped them of layer after layer of skin, leaving them with tough but rough skin.
It is precisely because of this that as soon as the young man appeared, he showed a distinctive temperament.
The other party has the whiteness and delicacy rarely seen in the wilderness.
The girl sat by the bonfire and watched silently, her eyes seemed to be sucked in.
I saw the teenager took out a small black box from the mountaineering bag, and then squeezed out 6 black needles from it.
While they were talking, the young man stood up a piece of wood, and used the back of the axe to drive the six black needles into the top of the firewood one by one, until all the black needles sank into the wood.
Soon, the black needles began to heat up, and thin white smoke wafted from the wood.
Qin Tong looked at the old man: “Dad, it’s Qing’s nanotechnology.”
Qin Cheng nodded: “I’ve seen that thing before.”
Anyone who has experienced wilderness survival knows that firewood is difficult to ignite.
Sometimes, after working for an hour, the firewood may be burnt out of sparks. After the sparks come out, the person who ignited the fire would have to keep blowing on the side. In the end, the smoke blinded his eyes and his face was blackened.
And these 6 black needles absorbed the force when the boy hammered them into the wood, and they continued to heat up directly in the heart of the firewood. In just 10 minutes, a firewood was ignited.
Qin Tong said: “The last time I went to the No. 18 city to look at outdoor products, I saw this Qing’s nano product, which seemed to be called Thor. I asked at that time, and the price was very expensive, with 6 inconspicuous needles. It can replace my mechanical limbs.”
But at this moment, Qin Tong realized that what he thought was very expensive was actually nothing in the eyes of others.
The old man Qin Cheng opened the cigarette that the teenager gave him just now,
He took one out, put it under his nose, sniffed it, and put the cigarette back in again.
This pack of cigarettes can sometimes be exchanged for a lot of good things in the wilderness, such as rough maps, furs of beasts, and life-saving herbs.
You can even find someone to exchange, the characteristics of some strange animals in the forbidden land.
The wilderness is no better than the city, where there are many unknown dangers.
It’s hard to spend money here, you have to use hard currency.
The girl by the bonfire silently watched the young man busy, the middle-aged man had no intention of helping at all, like a pampered big boss.
The teenager poured water and white rice into a small pot, and cooked white porridge.
Not only that, he also added raisins and red dates to the porridge, which looked very delicate.
But the teenager didn’t drink porridge himself, but sat silently and nibbled on a boring synthetic protein bar.
This kind of protein bar is generally only eaten by people who seek a living in the wilderness. One can support a day’s nutritional intake, and the teenager ate four in a row.
After the white porridge was cooked, the young man carefully brought it to the middle-aged man…
The girl was a little resentful: “The middle-aged man has no hands or feet, why do you let others serve you?”
At this time, the girl beside the bonfire suddenly found that the boy took off his hiking boots after sitting on the ground, and the white socks inside were stained red with blood.
The boy slowly took off his socks, and the blood on his feet seemed to be full of wounds and blisters.
The teenager wiped the wound clean with alcohol and cotton swabs, and then applied ointment to himself.
During this process, the other party was clearly in pain but did not say a word, just frowned.
Moreover, the face of the other party just now was the same as usual, and there was no difference in the walking posture, as if the wound on the foot did not exist.
Thinking of the other party holding back the pain and serving the middle-aged man, the girl felt a little distressed.
The girl suddenly said: “Why don’t I go and help him, Dad, you see his feet are broken, and he has to do heavy work.”
Qin Cheng frowned and said solemnly: “He is a servant, this is what he should do. You can stay here honestly for me, if you really like servants, there is no way to save them, they have no freedom. Do people understand?”
The girl was a little aggrieved, but said nothing.
Just watching from a distance.
At this time, the boy was sitting on the ground, continuing to deal with the wound on his foot.
Although the collar of the jacket covered most of the other party’s face, the girl somehow felt that the other party’s side face was very good-looking.
“Dad, you said he was a servant?” the girl asked.
“Well,” the old man Qin Cheng nodded: “You have seen this kind of person in the city. You have sold your life to a big man, and you can’t escape the fate of being bound for the rest of your life.”
The word servant is not unfamiliar in the world, almost equivalent to slave.
