Chapter 37: Out of the Forest?
Although the flood was rough outside, inside the cave, Wang Lang, a small tribe, was full of energy.
Under Wang Lang's guidance, people made many arrowheads and spearhead molds, and Wang Lang even made several dagger molds.
The tin ore in this cave was very abundant, and the scattered on the ground was enough for Wang Lang and them to use, and Wang Lang had already identified this place in his heart as a place he must occupy in the future.
If you want to make bronze, you must have tin, and copper without tin is just brass, although the texture is much stronger than that of tin, but it is much worse than bronze.
After four days, the torrential rain had finally receded, and from the top of the hill, large swaths of trees were lying crookedly in the foul-smelling mud.
The flood has almost destroyed the ecology of the area, and it will not be long before the decaying plant and animal carcasses will spread a large number of diseases, and the area may become a dead place for a long time.
In four days, Wang Lang and his team made hundreds of arrowheads and dozens of spearheads, but due to the lack of arrows and spear shafts, people only completed the refitting of the existing stone weapons, and the extra had to be stored as spare materials.
Wang Lang also made more than a dozen daggers, and gave them to the men of the tribe, in order to take away more tin, Wang Lang melted the scattered tin ore and made it into a few pieces of metal about ten catties.
It was no longer possible to walk under the mountain, and the previous frenzied escape made Wang Lang and them stay away from the river, and after distinguishing the direction through the sun, because the river was flowing from north to south, Wang Lang led the people to the south along this mountain range.
The outbreak of the flood caused most of the animals in this area to flee to this mountain range, and so many animals poured in at once, making the forest very lively.
Many small animals can often be seen shuttling back and forth on the branches on the treetops, and there will also be some eyeless predators trying to attack Wang Lang and them.
This huge harvest gave the people who were about to run out of food a large amount of food, and because they could not carry so much stuff, they only cut the fattest parts of their prey, and the rest had to be left for the scavengers who smelled blood.
The women collected the teeth of these animals, drilled holes in them with daggers, and wore them around their necks with ropes as decorations.
Originally, the right to wear ornaments was only available to the patriarch, but Wang Lang was really not interested in these meaningless things, since people like these ornaments, then whoever wants to bring it, Wang Lang is really too lazy to care.
The men saw that Wang Lang didn't care about this kind of behavior of hanging things on his body, and they also showed that they didn't care about these useless things.
Now, the women are very happy, what the men are not interested in is indeed a rare good thing in their eyes, and several women get together, and from time to time they will show off to each other who is more beautiful with the necklace around their necks.
Wang Lang is very speechless about the behavior of these women, in terms of Wang Lang's modern aesthetics, all women, including the stars, are just the level of passers-by in the previous world, and they are passers-by who have not taken a bath for several years, he can't understand what else is so stinky and beautiful when they are like this, is it really a woman's nature to love beauty? Wang Lang couldn't help but start complaining in his heart.
"Go over the hill ahead, let's rest for a while!" Wang Lang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.
People looked at the lush hillside in front of them, sighed one after another, the hot and humid weather, made them thirsty, almost overdrawn, because there was no rain these days, people had to collect some dew in the early morning to use, and now the water in the water bag is not much, these precious water resources can only be used sparingly.
Although people are dizzy with thirst now, the foot of the mountain is not a safe campsite, and people are depressed and follow Wang Lang to climb up the rugged terrain.
The mountain is very rugged, the mountain seems to have been fractured, there are huge rocks outcropping the surface everywhere, the cliff dozens of meters high is like a knife, Wang Lang took out the rope and wrapped it around everyone's waist, so that if someone accidentally stumbles and falls, others can pull him up in time.
The more you go up, the more precipitous the terrain is, looking at the narrow and steep mountain road, it is obviously impossible to go down the mountain, as the saying goes, it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, Wang Lang regretted coming up, he knew that it was so difficult to walk here, even if he took a long detour, it was much better than the current dilemma.
"Long, what do we do now!" Jianya looked at the steep terrain ahead and said with some concern.
Wang Lang looked up at the fiery sun in the midday sky, licked his chapped lips, and said, "Let's rest here for a while, recover some strength, and climb up later!" ”
People hid behind a huge rock, hiding from the sun, Wang Lang took out the water bag, took a small sip, and then passed the water bag to everyone, people knew that the water was running out, everyone just took a small sip gently, just to relieve the throat that was almost smoking.
Wang Lang put his hand on the pergola and looked at the top of the mountain, and there was still a distance of more than 100 meters, and if they wanted to climb over the mountain in their current state, it was estimated that it would be at least tomorrow.
After resting for more than an hour, the people regained some strength and climbed up the huge rocky slope with their hands and feet.
Occasionally, someone stepped on the air, and if it weren't for the rope on his waist to connect everyone and roll down from this place full of protruding rocks, he would definitely be hopeless, and the thrilling scene frightened everyone to have to cheer up their spirits.
After more than half an hour of difficult climbing, people finally reached the top of the mountain.
Although standing on the top of the mountain does not have the heroic feeling of being at the top of the mountain and seeing the small mountains, but looking at the clear blue sky and the white clouds, it still makes everyone feel relaxed and happy.
The undulating mountains behind him are lush and green, and people only intuitively realize that they have traveled such a long distance when they stand on the top of the mountain.
"Look over there, everybody! Forest! The forest is gone, and we're going to get out of it. Jiao suddenly exclaimed speechlessly, he had heard people talk about the destination of the migration, and he also knew that Wang Lang described the beautiful life to people, and when he saw that he was about to walk out of this deep forest, he was so excited that he couldn't hang himself.
People looked in the direction pointed by the horns, and saw that behind the low hills in front of them, the trees had disappeared, and a large green meadow could not be seen at a glance, and there were faint waves of water.
Wang Lang's eyes were a little moist, after so much suffering, he finally came out, and the infinite emotion in his heart only turned into one sentence: "I, Wang Lang, am finally going to rise!" ”
