Primitive Survival of Mercenaries

In this situation, there is actually no good solution to be discussed. We can only adopt the combat policy of "the enemy comes and we go, and the enemy goes and we come." What's more, their weapons are worse.

Because they don't know the daytime activities of the Qipo Clan, Xie Yi and the others decided to go get the tin stone after dark. Although walking in the forest at night would be dangerous, compared with the urgency of making a bronze weapon, this Little things can't stop the enthusiasm of the two races.

The moonlight in the mountain forest is soft and mottled, and the shadows of the branches are slanting. A group of people are walking in the quiet woods. Everyone is carrying a big animal skin bag. Stone back.

Ke Tu held Xie Yi's hand and walked in the front. They were most familiar with this section of the road and were responsible for leading everyone.

Gosang was walking behind with the wolf cub in his arms. Looking at the shadows of the two who were almost overlapping, he felt a little depressed for some reason, so he simply slowed down and mixed in with the crowd.

Fortunately, all the way to the low-lying land was reached smoothly. Near the sparse overgrown weeds, a large piece of dark brown gravel Gobi appeared in front of everyone. star.

Ketu asked Ah Qing and Lang Ye to go to the direction of the Qipo Clan to be vigilant, and if anyone or a beast came, he would tell everyone immediately.

Gesan looked around the animal skin bag, and found that Qing Shui not far away was filling the bag with a stone shovel, but because no one was around to help her support the bag, half of the shovel of cassiterite fell into the bag again. on the ground.

He walked over in two steps, shoveled down more stones, motioned Qing Shui to support the bag, "Let me shovel."

"What do you want to do?" Qing Shui lowered her voice, but from her tone, she could still hear that she was angry.

Gosang asked her to look around, and he spoke bluntly, "It's too slow for you to work alone. I'll shovel the cassiterite, and you support the bag."

Qing Shui looked around, there were two of them, one was carrying the bag, the other was shoveling stones, they were already half filled, the patriarch and Xie Yi even had a full bag, and his own animal skin bag only had Qianqian At one o'clock, she was not talking, and held up the animal skin bag with her head closed.

However, Gosun's stone shovel is not very useful, and each shovel can only shovel a small amount of cassiterite.

Qing Shui couldn't bear to see it anymore, it would be better for him to do this by himself, he stood up and wanted to take the stone shovel and do it himself.

"No, I'll do it." Gesang blocked Qing Shui's hand, held a stone shovel and thrust it obliquely into the ground, then stepped on it with his feet, scooped it out hard, and the cassiterite was filled to the brim. shovel.

He imitated the example, stepped down hard, then picked up a shovel of gravel, smiled triumphantly at Qing Shui, and poured it into the animal skin bag.

Practice makes perfect in everything, but after a while, Gosang filled both animal skin bags.

Xie saw that the animal skin bags brought over were already full, and suddenly let out a wolf-like howl towards the sky.

After a while, Ah Qing and Lang Ye hurried back, Xie Yi handed each of them an animal skin bag, and everyone started walking back.

I don't know if it was stimulated by Xie Yi's voice, but the little wolf was a little excited on the way back. It spread its hooves and ran to the back of the crowd for a while, and ran to the front of Gosang to bite him trousers.

Gosang was carrying a leather bag full of stones, and at first he didn't want to talk to the wolf cub, but after a few rounds, the guy actually bit his clothes and didn't want to let go, dragging him so much that he couldn't even walk well.

Gosang had been in a bad mood for the past two days, so he kicked the little wolf at this time, making him let go of his clothes.

The little wolf had grown up a lot recently, and that foot didn't hurt at all, but it felt a little wronged, so it looked up at Gosang and let out a slightly immature "Wow..."

As if this sound was a signal, there was another wolf howl not far behind the crowd, and then a second...

Fortunately, everyone hunted in the mountains and forests every day. After the initial panic, everyone quickly gathered together, put down the animal skin bags in their hands, and took out their weapons to defend.

Gesang saw the little wolf standing alone in the same place, and hurriedly called it over, "Little wolf, come quickly."

The little wolf turned his head to look at Gosang, then turned his back to him, and let out another "owwow".

Xie Yi held a bow and arrow in his hand, but for a long time he only heard the howling of wolves, and he didn't even see a wolf shadow. He bumped Ketu's waist with his elbow, "It can't be the group of guys I met on Tongtian Mountain, right? I think the little wolf looks a lot like it."

Ke Tu listened carefully, "It's pretty similar. When did they run down from Tongtian Mountain?"

Xie Yi looked around and asked Shi Shi to call Bai Yan over.

"Xie Yi, what's wrong?"

"Didn't you feed those wolves again later, are they not in Tongtian Mountain now?"

"I haven't seen them since we lived in this place," Bai Yan quickly understood Xie Yi's meaning, "You mean these wolves might be the ones I fed?"

"Possibly, but not sure."

"Then I'll find out after I go and have a look. If it's really that pack of wolves, they won't bite me." Bai Yan hadn't seen those guys for a long time, let alone, he really wanted to see them.

Xie Yi hurriedly grabbed him, "Don't go, what if it's not."

Gosang stood by and heard what they said clearly.He felt that the wolves had not attacked for such a long time, which was very similar to the situation he encountered last time. The key is that everyone should not waste time here. The longer you stay in the mountains, the more danger you may encounter. many.Thinking about it, Gesang took the stone spear and walked up to the little wolf.

Seeing Gesang approaching, the little wolf groaned happily, then ran in the direction of the howling wolves.

Gosang hesitated for a while, then followed.

Seeing this, Xie asked Ah Qing and the others to stay where they were, and followed along with Ke Tu and Bai Yan.

With such a move, Xie Yi knew in his heart that the pack of wolves must have been recruited by the cubs. If they wanted to hunt, the few people with flaws walking on the road at this time would be the best prey, but the pack of wolves has remained silent. It means that they are not hostile.

Gosang and the others followed the cubs around a few big trees, and saw the pack of wolves sitting on the rocks at a glance. The head wolf raised his eyelids and looked at them, then lowered his head and licked the cubs who ran to him.

Seeing the pack of wolves, Ke Tu immediately pulled Xie Yi to stand where he was. Although the pack of wolves didn't show any malice, it would be bad if they got too close to them and suddenly attacked.

Bai Yan was not afraid, he saw the wolf's eyes lit up, he quickly walked a few steps to climb up the rock, and he was caught in the middle of the pack of wolves, and even reached out to pet the wolf beside him.

Gesang took a few steps back and stood beside Xie Yi, "Since when did Bai Yan become so familiar with wolves?"

"Then feed your own meat to the wolves." Xie Yi looked a little envious, but he also knew that he would never be able to do this anyway. People like him who are too wary like wolves are forever You can't be friends with a wolf.

After waiting for this person to stay for a while, Xie Yi said, "Okay, let's go back quickly, the clansmen are still waiting."

Bai Yan patted the wolves around him, and then hesitantly put his hand on the head wolf. The head wolf turned his head to look at him, then turned his head away again.

Only then did he touch it a few times in relief, and then reluctantly left the pack of wolves.

The little wolf got bored with the wolf leader for a while, seeing that Gesang and the others had gone far away, then whimpered and chased after Gesang.

The crowd waited anxiously at the same spot, and seeing them come out intact, they felt relieved, picked up the animal skin bag again and walked back.

In the direction that Xie Yi and the others had been guarding all along, several people were hiding in a tree not far from the cassiterite mine, the spears in their hands glowed with a soft green gleam in the moonlight.

After a while, there was a rough voice, "How is it, have the pack of wolves left?"

"I don't know, but I can't hear the wolf howling anymore, maybe it's been gone, it's been so long." A slightly calmer voice continued, "You wait, I'll go down and try."

After a rustling sound, a tall figure came out from behind the bushes. He looked around and waved to the tree, "Come down, the wolves are gone."

Another six people jumped down from the tree one after another, and the rough voice asked again, "Shu Er, shall we still go to Heishuishi? You said it's so late at night, no one will go to that place, except us People from the Qipo Clan don’t know that those small stones can be used as weapons, and the patriarch has to be watched every day to be at ease, otherwise we won’t be able to meet the wolves.”

Shu Er thought it was still not safe, "Anyway, the wolves have already left, let's go over and have a look. Didn't the patriarch say that there are still a few people from the Yunshui tribe who are still alive?"

"There are only a few people there, and they don't dare to take things from our Qipo clan." The rough voice sounded a little disdainful, and no tribe in this place dared to provoke the Qipo clan.

Having said that, the seven people still walked towards the place Xie Yi and the others had just left.

The Kasa and Red Earth people certainly didn't know that they were so close to being discovered.As soon as the day dawned, everyone gathered around the shaft furnace again, and started the second firing of the furnace.

This time, Xie Yi used pottery pieces and slots to make a simple valve that can control the outflow of copper water at the outlet of the shaft furnace, and then threw charcoal and cassiterite into the shaft furnace together with the copper oxide block that was burned yesterday.

When the copper water was boiled out this time, Xie Yi introduced it into the sprue of the weapon's mud film, and took it out after it had completely cooled down. A piece of blue-gray bronze weapon was displayed in front of everyone.

Wu Si touched everything with a smile, then picked up a bronze dagger, gestured at the rabbit that was thrown on the ground with its four legs bound, muttered something, and then inserted it into the rabbit's neck, pouring fresh blood on it. On these newly released weapons.

"oh oh……"

The Kasa tribe watched Wusi complete this set of actions, cheered loudly and rushed forward, scrambling to pick up the weapons on the ground to try their sharpness.

The people of the Red Earth tribe took a step back and could only wait for the weapons to be delivered to their hands.

Xie expressed his understanding of these strange rituals in the primitive society. He stood outside the crowd with Ketu and Gosang, watching Wu Si come out with the bronze sword, and then he pointed at them with a proud face. "This thing is not bad."
