When you go back, be sure to smoke the inside and outside of the caves in the tribe!

Han Cheng, who was terrified, made up his mind.

That night, the people of the Qingque tribe did not rest in the cave of the Teng Snake tribe, but rested in the open air in a leeward place more than a hundred meters away from the mouth of the cave, because the flames in the cave had not been completely extinguished.

In fact, there was no need to sleep outside at the beginning, mainly because Han Cheng was concerned about copper mines, and after arriving here, he was bent on finding copper mines as soon as possible, and he didn't think about the cave until it was almost dark and he was about to live inside.

But fortunately, it is summer at this time, and as long as it doesn't rain, it's not much of a problem to spend the night outside.

A few bonfires were lit, two people were left to keep vigil, and the rest slept on the spread of skins, covered with some skins, and soon entered the dream.

Fu will wait for a group of dogs and deer uncles to rest around, and with Fu and these highly alert guys, it is much more safe to camp out at night.

The next day, after breakfast, let a few people watch the deer graze near the copper mountain, Han Cheng and the rest of the people came to the copper mountain together, and continued to fight against the pit they found yesterday.

As the pit grows larger and deeper, the rate of copper mining gradually decreases.

But there are also new surprises.

This is not a big surprise, but as we dig deeper, some yellow copper ore begins to appear under the malachite.

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

Not the mining of copper ore, but transportation.

In this era, the best way to transport is by boat.

Not only is the amount of transportation large, but also the people are light, and the risk factor is low.

However, Han Cheng could only imagine the matter of transporting copper ore by ship, because there was no waterway to reach the Qingque tribe from here.

There are two streams here, but after three or four miles of foreign exchange gathering, they go all the way north.

Han Cheng led the people from the confluence of the two streams and walked forward for another seven or eight miles, and the stream finally turned into a zigzag river.

The river is far less abundant than the small river in front of the Qingque tribe, and the bamboo raft that is not wide can barely walk on it, and it will not work if it is replaced by a boat with a deeper draft, especially after it is loaded with copper ore.

This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that the river flows zigzag all the way to the north, Han Cheng led people along the river for more than twenty miles, and did not find that it has a tendency to flow eastward.

Thinking about the width of the small river in front of his tribe and the amount of water in front of him, it is obvious that the river near the Teng Snake tribe will not be upstream.

All Han Cheng, who had been chasing people for a day, could only give up the method of water transportation and switch to land transportation.

Land transportation is undoubtedly extremely labor-intensive, even if there are deer herds in the tribe.

However, there is no good way, and it can only use land transportation, which consumes manpower and material resources.

After the ore is excavated with loose surface, it becomes more and more difficult to dig down, and the speed becomes slower and slower.

However, everything was afraid of the word 'persistence', and even so, by the eighth day, there was a lot of ore piled up on the copper mountain.

Han Cheng estimated the weight, and then calculated the time, so he made a voice for everyone to stop mining and began to move the ore to the side of the mountain and roll it down.

After all of them rolled off, they were put into the leather pockets they had brought with them.

Each pocket did not contain more than that, about forty pounds.

After packing, the two pouches are tied together and placed on the deer's back for the deer to carry it.

The people were not idle, but they carried two bags of sticks made of improvised sticks.

However, it is lighter than that of a deer, and a bag is only about thirty catties.

However, light loads cannot be traveled, and fifty or sixty pounds of things don't seem very heavy at this time, but as long as you think about it, you have to carry them for a few days, and it immediately makes people uncomfortable.

However, in the case of almost all hands-on, the effect is still very obvious.

In addition to the weapons, food, cooking utensils, some forage for feeding the deer, rain gear, bedding, etc., they brought back about 3,000 catties of ore on this trip.

Three thousand catties of copper ore should be able to produce a lot of copper.

However, it is regrettable that Han Cheng has not found tin ore or lead ore near Tongshan in the past few days.

It seems that the only way to do this is to train the copper first, and then consider the matter of tin ore or lead ore.

The meal had to be eaten one bite at a time, and many things could not be rushed out at one time, so although Han Cheng was a little regretful that he had not found the other two mines for the time being, he did not affect his mood too much because of this.

Traveling far away has never been an easy task, even with empty hands, let alone carrying a heavy load.

On the way back, the speed was much slower than when I came, and it was summer, the weather was hot, and the sweat of carrying things on the way deepened everyone's tiredness.

After a day's journey, Han Cheng immediately changed his schedule and set off early, finding a shady place to stay in the heat at noon, and then moving forward when the weather was cool.

As a result, the road travels more slowly.

The sunlight leaked through the branches and leaves, and the terrifying temperature spread unscrupulously in the world.

Han Cheng, who was shirtless, sat on a piece of bluestone, leaning against a big tree, panting heavily, sweat flowing down like money.

After pulling out the mouth of the water jar that he carried with him, aiming at his mouth and adding salt to his mouth, he felt that he had saved his life. Turning his head to look around, there was a group of disheveled people, all of whom were in a similar state to Han Cheng.

If it weren't for the fact that after linen clothes gradually began to become popular, Han Cheng issued a strict order not to allow people to strip naked in public again, I am afraid that there will be many more 'free' people at this time.

Looking at this bag of ore, and then looking at the sweaty people and deer, Han Cheng, who was tired and didn't want to move, couldn't help but sniffle.

The tribe has a large number of bronzes, whether it is farming or fighting, it can be a lot higher than the rest of the tribes, how exciting it is when you think about it, and how tormenting it will be when you work hard for such a scene.

There doesn't seem to be much in the world where you can succeed casually, especially if you want to do it the most.

Even if you pay a lot for it, you may not be able to do it, let alone think about being lazy and slippery.

"Gone!"

The sun gradually set in the west, and after eating and drinking, Han Cheng stood up with his hands on the tree and shouted to everyone.

Everyone took action, put the supplies on the deer, and began to carry the burden themselves.

After Han Cheng shouted this, he secretly gritted his teeth, squatted down, and used his somewhat red and swollen shoulders to pick up the burden that belonged to him.

Although he had thought about throwing away these ores more than once when he was picking, he still didn't lose them, but picked them all the way down and continued to walk towards the tribe......
