I am a primitive

It can be seen that the hole has just been dug.

Inside the pit, more green stones were exposed. The stones were large and small, irregular, but they looked purer than the ones seen before.

There is no doubt that this is a high quality malachite mine.

After Han Cheng asked Shang about the situation and checked it for a while, he immediately ordered that no one should be allowed to search around, but to dig here directly with tools.

The stone shovels and bone shovels of the Qingque tribe are not very easy to use here and are relatively easy to damage.

So after cleaning up the not too much soil around this small stone pit, the mining tool became the most common and extremely versatile multifunctional weapon in the primitive era-the wooden stick.

Of course, there are prerequisites for using sticks to mine.

I don’t know why the ore in this piece is relatively broken, and there are gaps in the middle. If you can’t pick it up with your hands, you can poke a solid wooden stick into the gap, use the principle of leverage to warp it back and forth, or shake the stick. Smash it down along the gap to prop it open.

Open-pit mining is such a casual thing.

Of course, at this time, it is impossible for Han Cheng not to accompany him like this.

Because before the bronze was made, he couldn't make a good tool.

Finding a breakthrough point of high-quality ore veins means high work efficiency. When the sky is about to dusk, not far from the mine pit that has become larger and deeper, a lot of high-quality malachite has been piled up.

Stones are heavy, let alone ores containing metals, which are heavier than ordinary stones. Just this pile can easily exceed a thousand catties.

Han Cheng was a little surprised that the copper ore mining was going so smoothly. According to this speed, they would be able to return home in less than two days.

Seeing that it was getting late, Han Chenggong asked people to stop their movements, and together they went to the cave of the Tengshe Tribe that no longer existed.

In the next few days, they will settle down here.

But Han Cheng and the others didn't live in the cave directly tonight.

The cave of the Tengshe Tribe has not been inhabited for more than half a year, and there might be something sheltering in it.

Of course, this 'something' does not refer to fox fairies and ghosts, but those poisonous insects who like to drill into the gaps and the like.

So Han Chenggong asked people to find a lot of dead branches and leaves, put them in the hole and light them, and couldn't stop smoking.

A lot of wet wormwood found nearby was piled on top of the dead branches and leaves.

Many people don't care much about Shenzi's cautious behavior, after all, they grew up in the wilderness since childhood.

It was only in the past few years that I lived in a house. I used to live in caves, and it didn't seem to be dangerous.

Of course, I thought so, but I still did things according to Shenzi's request. Some people smashed Ye Xun's cave inside, and some people cooked.

Flames rose in the cave, and choking smoke filled the interior.

The people who didn't care much before gradually changed their expressions, because as the flames in the cave burned, things that made the skin crawl gradually happened.

More and more things are coming out of it.

A few egg-sized spiders with ferocious spots on their backs, long legs and bristles, a giant centipede with long chopsticks, black and red claws, a scorpion with a high tail, green all over, screaming I don't know the name, but it's not a good thing at first sight...

These many guys who were forced to rush out by the flames and thick smoke made the faces of the Qingque tribe turn green.

Although they are ferocious, when they face these poisonous insects, they really feel a little scared in their hearts.

Compared with ferocious beasts, sometimes these little poisonous insects are more frightening, making people feel that they have no way to attack and cannot be guarded against.

After seeing so many things, they all cast admiring glances at Shenzi who was standing aside with a look of wisdom beads in his hands.

Fortunately, the Son of God is here this time. If not, if you spend the night in this cave under such circumstances, maybe someone will never wake up again...

Little did he know that Shenzi, who was calm on the surface, was also panicking in his heart at this moment.

Han Cheng just thought that there might be more poisonous insects if there were no people living here for a long time, but he didn't expect that there would be such a terrifying number.

Another reason is that he suddenly remembered the caves in his tribe that were used as kitchens and dining halls...

(a little bit Calvin...)

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

After going back, be sure to smoke the inside and outside of the cave in the tribe!

The terrified Han Cheng made this decision.

That night, instead of resting in the cave of the Tengshe tribe, the members of the Qingque tribe rested in the open air at a leeward point more than 100 meters away from the entrance of the cave, because the flames in the cave had not been completely extinguished.

In fact, at the beginning, there was no need to sleep outside, mainly because Han Cheng was interested in copper mines. After arriving here, he only wanted to find copper mines as soon as possible. remember.

Fortunately, it was summer at this time, as long as it didn't rain, there was no big problem spending the night outside.

Light a few piles of bonfires, leaving two people to watch the night, and the rest sleep on the spread out leather, covered with some leather, and soon fell into a dream.

Fu Jiang waited for a group of dog legs and Uncle Lu to rest around. With Fu Jiang and these highly alert guys around, he felt much more at ease camping outside at night.

The next day, after breakfast, a few people were asked to watch the deer grazing near the Copper Mountain. Han Cheng and the rest came to the top of the Copper Mountain together, and continued to fight against the mine found yesterday.

As the copper pits become larger and deeper, the mining speed of copper mines is also gradually decreasing.

But there are also new surprises.

This is not a big surprise, that is, as the excavation continued, some yellow copper ore began to appear under the malachite.

Han Cheng was a little melancholy, and the melancholy thing was copper ore.

Not the mining of copper ore, but the transportation.

In this era, the best mode of transportation is to use boats to travel by water.

Not only the amount of transport is large, but also the labor is light and the risk factor is low.

However, Han Cheng can only imagine the matter of transporting copper ore by boat, because there is no waterway that can lead to the Qingque tribe from here.

There are actually two creeks here, but after three or four miles of foreign exchange converged together, they went all the way north.

Han Cheng led his people to walk another seven or eight miles from the confluence of the two streams before the stream finally turned into a winding river.

The river is far less abundant than the small river in front of the Qingque Tribe, and the bamboo rafts that are not wide can barely walk on it. If you change it to a boat with a relatively deep draft, especially after it is loaded with copper ore, and then walk on it, you will not be able to walk on it. no more.

This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the river winds and flows to the north. Han Cheng led his people along the river for more than 20 miles, but did not find that it had a tendency to flow east.

Thinking about the width of the small river in front of my tribe and the annual water volume, the river near the Tengshe tribe is obviously not the upper reaches.

All Han Cheng who led people to search for a day can only give up the method of water transportation and switch to land transportation.
