Initially, everyone got along pretty well, but after Cannon said that he had picked up more than 2,000 cows, the atmosphere between the two groups became a little different.
On the surface, everyone is still the same as before, but everyone feels a little embarrassed. Zhang Chi doesn't know where this embarrassment comes from, whether it's because he picked up a lot of cows, or because their bragging coins were found out. In short, it's just embarrassing.
"You have a nice dog".
Victor glanced at Da Niu and Er Hu who were lying next to Zhang Chi and praised them.
"Thank you, your cattle dog is not bad." Zhang Chi also praised his cattle dog.
How should I put it? What comes and goes comes back.
The cattle dogs of this family are really good. They are very tall. Although they are not as good as Daniel and Erhu, they are still considered to be tall and large dogs among the local cattle dogs.
It is a large dog but not yet a mastiff, but it has a strong frame. Judging from current observations, the dog has a very calm personality and is not impatient. It is a good cattle dog.
Next, everyone talked about cattle dogs, and the whole atmosphere improved a bit, but it still did not return to the initial enthusiasm.
Everyone has the same meal, which is nothing more than beef cooked in various ways. In the past, small hot pot was popular, but now everyone wants to eat it, but it is difficult to buy it because this small hot pot from China is out of stock.
There was no way, there were too many people entering the mountain, and the sales suddenly increased. The local suppliers were a little unprepared, so now most of the teams entering the mountain returned to their old business, eating potatoes and beef.
Way to do it.
Zhang Chi can no longer buy self-heating hot pot here. To buy it, he probably has to go to California now, and the price has also gone up. Thinking about the price, Zhang Chi still thinks that beef is more delicious.
After eating, everyone picked a place and started laying out their sleeping bags. After a while, everyone got into their sleeping bags and started sleeping.
There are no people on duty tonight, because there are about seven or eight dogs in the entire camp, and everyone is carrying a gun. Even if the bonfire is extinguished, nothing can threaten the safety of the camp personnel.
Lying down to sleep, Zhang Chi slept until dawn.
When he opened his eyes, he found that Victor's family had packed up their things and left the camp, and when Zhang Chi opened his eyes, they were almost entering the forest.
"Leaving?" Zhang Chi asked Cannon, who was already sitting by the campfire.
Cannon hummed and replied: "Let's go. Before leaving, you asked me to say thank you."
"Thank you for what?" Zhang Chi smiled, got out of the sleeping bag, stretched first, and then went to wash up.
Cannon started making breakfast.
Breakfast today is simple. The pancake is rolled with some vegetables, like a Mexican burrito, or our domestic hand pancakes. Anyway, it's the same routine.
First fry the pancake in oil, brush it with some sauce, and put the vegetables into your mouth like this.
Of course, a cup of coffee is indispensable in the morning. Zhang Chi also gave up tea this morning and drank coffee with Cannon, Brian and others.
After finishing breakfast slowly and leisurely, and waiting for the sun to rise, Zhang Chi and his party continued to move forward along the planned route.
At the end of another day, not long after we came out in the morning, we met another team on the road who were entering the mountains to look for cattle.
The two teams, one on the mountainside and the other at the bottom of the mountain, waved and said hello before going their own way.
In the evening, Zhang Chi and the other three camped and cooked, and the whole thing went on in an orderly manner.
After a night, get up and continue on your way.
After another day of travel, everyone already felt a little exhausted.
The mountain road is getting harder and harder to walk on. When Zhang Chi made the plan, he didn't expect that it was quite easy when he came by himself. He just didn't expect that it would be so difficult to walk without a plug-in.
At the end of the day, we almost went up and down the mountain repeatedly. The people were a little better, but the horses really couldn't bear it. When we arrived at the camp in the evening and unloaded the horses' equipment, the two pack horses fell to the ground.
The bonfire was lit and everyone started cooking. Cannon and Brian went out to find dry firewood. The big firewood was used to make the fire, and the small firewood was used directly to pad the sleeping bags.
After messing around with it randomly, everyone waited for the rice to be cooked and then sat by the campfire to eat.
"Tomorrow's road will be more difficult to walk. I think we have to reset the location of the camp. If we go at our current speed, we will definitely not be able to reach it. If we work harder, the horse will not be able to bear it...".
Cannon drank two spoons of soup, thought for a while and said to Zhang Chi.
Zhang Chi said nothing. He was currently thinking about how to get the cattle out. He would not be happy if he walked like this for another day.
Only now did he understand that if he compared his legs with a calabash, he was asking for trouble.
Since we don’t want to go any further, it’s time to herd the cattle out. Last time, we had to go to the toilet. What excuse are we going to use this time?
Zhang Chi wanted to find another way, but after thinking about it, he seemed to think that there seemed to be no other good method except using the excrement and urine technique.
In this case, let's stick to the old trick, go out to pee at night and find the cows.
Zhang Chi was thinking about it when he suddenly felt his eyes blurred. When he looked closely, he found Brian waving his hands in front of his eyes.
"What?" Zhang Chi asked.
"Tell me about tomorrow's itinerary, why are you a little distracted?" Brian said with a smile.
Zhang Chi replied: "Well, the journey to Xingtian needs to be longer. I didn't expect that the road here is so difficult to walk. We won't be able to get there tomorrow night. Let's change it to noon the day after tomorrow. It will take half a day more to let the horses
We have enough rest time on the way, otherwise like today, these two horses will be useless when they get home."
Seeing that the boss agreed with his opinion, Cannon stopped talking.
The three of them had been walking for a day, and now they finally took a rest. No one was interested in saying a word, and they all lowered their heads to eat.
After eating, they washed their bowls and brushed the pots.
Zhang Chi boiled a pot of water in a pot. After waiting for the water to boil, he took out a folding basin that he had brought with him, put a little cold water in it, mixed some hot water and started soaking his feet.
hiss!
At the end of the day, many places are inaccessible by horseback. The slope is a bit steep. It is not easy to change places at this time. Mountains are not just your temperament. If you want to go around to a better road, don't say anything.
It still has to be about ten miles. With these ten miles, we can just get off the horse and climb for half an hour, so why choose a detour.
It is precisely because of this that I walked a lot today, and walking on mountainous terrain is not as comfortable as on flat ground.
In short, after arriving at the camp tonight, as soon as everyone took off their shoes, the smell of salted fish suddenly filled the entire camp.
Everyone immediately put their shoes aside and put on slippers.
If you look at it this way, you will find that Zhang Chi and the three of them really look like they are traveling. These three guys even brought slippers with them when they entered the forest!
If you think slippers are a bit excessive, take a look at the small basin Zhang Chi carries. Although it doesn’t weigh much and is not bulky, it is a common folding basin that costs more than ten or twenty yuan a piece on the domestic Internet. But when you go into the mountains, you can bring this with you.
Is this a little too much for you to use to wash your feet?
"Boss, when did you bring this?" Cannon was very curious. He had never seen the boss wearing this. Why did he have this now?
Zhang Chi had no choice but to say that I felt like washing my feet, so he took this thing out of the gourd. Wasn't this to silence Cannon and Brian?
After killing these two people, there won't be any other troubles. There is so much cow dung in the cowshed every day that I, the boss, can't shovel it.
So these two people still have value in staying.
"What's so weird about bringing this thing? I know you won't bring it. Just wait."
As he spoke, Zhang Chi turned around and took out two pots from his large backpack, which were identical except for the color.
"You two should also soak your feet. It smells like foot sweat. When you get into your sleeping bag, the sleeping bag will smell like salted fish."
As he spoke, Zhang Chi handed the basin over.
Cannon and Brian took the basin and began to look at the backpack behind Zhang Chi.
This backpack is not for people to carry, but for horses to carry. For example, Zhang Chi’s backpack was brought here by Melika. It is rainproof and waterproof, easy to use and not bad. There are special straps that can be fixed to the top of the horse’s butt behind the saddle.
As long as it is fixed correctly, it is very stable and does not affect the horse's movement.
"What are you looking at? It's quite expensive!"
Zhang Chi said.
Cannon was delighted: "Your bag can really hold it."
"If you don't want it, just come back." Zhang Chi stretched out his hand to grab it, but Cannon suddenly retracted it.
"use!"
Cannon and Brian are not fools. Although they don't have the habit of soaking their feet, after a day of walking, their feet are stained. How can they feel comfortable washing them with cold water?
So the two of them opened the basin with their hands, turning the basin from a board into a basin. They followed Zhang Chi's example and took the cold water and started hot water.
"It needs to be slightly hot. If you feel nothing when you stretch your feet at room temperature, it won't be effective." Zhang Chi saw that the two of them were a little stupid, so he started to give instructions.
After listening to Zhang Chi's words, the two of them each added a little more hot water.
Cannon was in a lot of pain as he was older, so he didn't feel too hot when he put his foot in. But Brian couldn't. He pulled his foot back as soon as he put it in.
“So hot!”
Brian said.
Cannon watched him add water. The original water was almost the same as Cannon's, and the added water was also similar. The temperature couldn't have been that high. Brian felt it was hot but he was just not used to it.
Just when Zhang Chi wanted to say something, Cannon let out a beautiful breath: "The iron is so comfortable!"
"Not hot?"
Brian reached out and tested the temperature of the water in the Cannon basin.
"Isn't this hot?"
Cannon said: "It's hot, but if you hold it back, you'll feel very comfortable after a while. Boss, if you want to enjoy it, it's you Chinese who have to enjoy it."
Zhang Chi was about to praise himself, but before the words came out of his mouth, he suddenly heard a movement.
At this time, Dan Niu and Er Hu also looked at the direction where the sound came from, and whined from their mouths.
"Can you still meet people in this place?"
Cannon was a little surprised.
If meeting people on the first day is nothing, meeting people now is a bit incredible, because the three of them are already in the mountains. How big can they meet another group of people at this time?
What luck.
Zhang Chi was also surprised. He felt like he was in Amber when he entered the forest. He met people from time to time.
When several figures appeared in front of Zhang Chi and the others, the three of them were shocked.
Because apart from a few horses, these three people had nothing else, not even supplies.

It's like being robbed. This chapter has been completed!
