Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2107 Leisurely
He decided to leave the rock for a while and find another rock nearby to sit on. He picked up the water container that he had covered earlier, put it back into the bag, and slung the bag over his body.

He walked to another slightly flatter stone nearby and examined it carefully. He found that the stone looked very ordinary and there was no pattern on it, so he sat down.

In the afternoon, when the ground was hottest, Tie Wandao's men still didn't wait for the singing to start again, but saw Tie Wandao coming from that direction.

After his men greeted Tie Wandao, Tie Wandao asked him directly, "Why is there no singing yet?"

The subordinate hesitated and didn't know what to say.

"You haven't heard the singing again?" Tie Wandao asked.

The subordinate replied: "I...didn't hear it again."

Tie Wandao was unhappy when he heard this. He saw a partially eaten steamed bun on the mat of the stone next to him, so he said sarcastically, "You look so leisurely, like you're having fun. The steamed bun is still here. Have you been eating here for a long time?"

The subordinate looked at the steamed bun and found that the black bug was gone. He didn't know how to explain it for the time being, so he said to Tie Wandao: "It wasn't that long."

"What are you talking about?! The steamed buns are still hanging here!" Tie Wandao said. He then said, "I didn't hear any singing when I came here, what do you think I should do to you?"

The men's hearts beat faster and they dared not speak.

"You didn't hear anything, but you're here leisurely eating and basking in the sun, having fun, right? What's the big deal?! In my opinion, you're staying here for nothing!" Tie Wandao said, "I don't want to let you go just like that!" When the subordinate wanted to explain that the steamed bun was not for him, he remembered the complex pattern on another stone he had found before, and immediately said, "Clan... Clan leader, I'm not staying here for nothing, I found a stone... There's something strange on the stone!"

"What's the strange thing?" Tie Wandao asked.

The subordinate walked over to the stone with the intricate pattern on the bottom, pointed at the pattern and said, "Chief, please...please look...here!"

Tie Wandao walked over and squatted down. When he saw the pattern, he was stunned and thought: Why is there such a thing at such a low place on this stone? What is it used for? This pattern should be carved by people. Who carved it? Although he didn't hear the singing and didn't do anything serious, it was rare to find such a small pattern at such a low position! But even so, I can't just let him go, otherwise I will have no dignity? He said there was singing here, I have come here three times, and I haven't heard it yet. If there is no reaction at all, where will I put my face? I can't give him a good face, and I must punish him. I don't want to hurt him, but I also want him to remember this incident and the consequences of walking me three times!
Tie Wandao pointed at the pattern and asked, "Then tell me, what is this?"

"I don't know either..." said the subordinate.

"We don't even know what it is. Do you think your discovery of it has any significance?" Tie Wandao asked his men.

The subordinate bravely said: "Since we don't know... what it is, I... I don't know if discovering it has any meaning, maybe... there is..."

"If there is, what's the point?" Tie Wandao asked.
