Chapter 50: The Caravan Sets Out
The Fat Witch is sharpening his sword. The short sword www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion was spotless and spotless by her with a high-quality linen, and the bright sword surface could be used as a mirror.
Dashi had seen this sword in advance, and although his eyes were hot at this time, he did not lose his temper. Lao Jiu couldn't do it, and the porcelain stared at the two of them intently at the artifact in the fat witch's hand. Qingguo, a fool, kept touching his head to remind others to pay attention to his new hairstyle. The rammer did not understand the importance of this new weapon.
The fat witch glanced at the razor in the waist of the big stone and glared at Tang Ge. The more I use this razor, the more I like it, and now it's stuck in my waist, and it looks like I don't plan to take it off.
Tang Ge glared back without showing weakness. To paraphrase Qingshan's words: There is no benefit to this, Lao Tzu is still busy begging!
The fat witch lowered his head and concentrated on polishing the sword, ignoring a few people, Tang Ge was suddenly unhappy, and asked, "What are you going to do with this sword?" ”
The fat witch said as a matter of course: "Of course it is hidden. ”
Tang Ge said disdainfully: "It's not okay to hide it." ”
Fat Wu Qi said: "Why? ”
Tang Ge said: "This kind of sword is the easiest to rust, the cleaner you wipe it, the faster it will rust." This kind of steel is good, but there is a big problem that if you don't use it for a while, it will rust, and after a long time, it will be as bad as bad wood. ”
The fat witch was shocked and asked, "Is there anything else you say?" How can a good sword turn into wood? ”
Tang Ge said helplessly: "It's not like it's wood." Just an analogy. When the sword rusts, the surface becomes pitted and the blade is no longer sharp. The quality of the steel will also decline. If you don't use it for too long, it will become very brittle, or even break as soon as it is broken. ”
The fat witch hurriedly said: "What should I do then?" ”
Tang Ge said: "It's very simple, oil him." Applying a layer of oil to it every once in a while can slow down his rusting time, and it is no problem to maintain it for a hundred or ten years. But I think it's better to use it, as long as this kind of sword is used non-stop, it needs to be wiped and polished constantly, and naturally it won't rust. ”
The fat witch looked clear, and said slowly: "I understand, you are here for this sword!." ”
Tang Ge said arrogantly: "This broken sword is also regarded as a treasure by Qingshan and you." I haven't seen it yet. I'm here to warn you that these weapons are made for human use, and if you want to hide them, it's better to hide some ore. At the very least, the ore will not deteriorate. ”
The fat witch nodded suddenly and asked Tang Ge, "Then who do you think this sword is used for?" ”
Hearing this, Lao Jiu smashed Tang Ge fiercely, Tang Ge glared angrily, and found that Lao Jiu was looking at him with a pleading expression, and then looked at the big stone, which also shot hot eyes. The meaning of that look was very simple, that is, to let Tang Ge open his mouth and ask for the blood-drinking sword to be used for himself.
Tang Ge ignored the small movements of the two people, but turned his head to the fat witch and said, "This short sword was originally for your self-defense. The blade of the sword is short, which is suitable for women. As for the rest of the steel, I'm going to make all the weapons to equip the tribesmen. The weapons of the big stone and Lao Jiu have already begun to be made. ”
The fat witch thought for a moment, then handed over the short sword in his hand, and said indifferently: "I stay in the tribe all day, where do I need to defend myself." You'd better see who needs it, and give this sword to someone else first. ”
Tang Ge was not polite, took the short sword, and handed it to the big stone behind him, rubbing his hands directly at all. The big stone got the sword, held it in his hand excitedly, and turned it over in his hand, but he didn't know what posture to use to match this artifact.
The Fat Witch pointed to the heads of several people and said, "How did you get your heads?" ”
Tang Ge's eyes rolled, and a bad idea came to his mind. So he pretended not to care and pointed to the knife in the waist of the big stone and said, "Freshly shaved, how about it, do you want to try a new hairstyle too?" ”
The fat witch sneered, "Don't think I don't know, you kid is absolutely holding back." What, give me a knife when you want to cut my hair or what? ”
Tang Ge said aggrievedly: "The conscience of heaven and earth, except for the big stone that I shaved, their hair is the hand of the big stone. ”
The Fat Witch looked at the big stone in surprise, and the big stone nodded. The fat witch said with satisfaction: "Shave me too, it should be exactly like the big stone." ”
"Sure enough, I took the bait." Tang Ge's heart blossomed, a fat woman shaved a Moxican, how ugly does that have to be? Although I couldn't support it in my heart, I tried my best to endure it on my face.
Big Stone felt honored and busily gave the fat witch a haircut. Tang Ge was doing his best to instruct on the side, and indeed pointed out how to shave Moxigan's head out with a big stone, and he didn't talk nonsense at all. Because Tang Ge didn't need to make trouble at all, just the size of the fat witch, no matter how good-looking Mo Xigan was, it was enough to choke her head.
Sure enough, when the big stone is done, let's see the fat witch. The already fat face, the big mouth, the face set off by the smooth and slippery scalp is even fatter, and the mouth is bigger, anyway, how ugly Tang Ge looks.
Holding back a smile to say goodbye to the fat witch, Tang Ge jumped up and down along the way, in a different mood. finally put the fat witch together, which can be regarded as a small revenge. Dancing happily, Tang Ge suddenly reacted, why did his body become a child, did his personality change with this? Why do you jump up if you don't walk? Thinking of this, Tang Ge threw out a middle finger at the sky, and scolded in his heart: "Thief God, you don't want to plot against me!" ”
Dashi carefully held the blood-drinking sword in his hand, for fear of accidentally bumping into it. That posture, I guess I didn't care so much about my own son when I hugged him. The more Tang Ge looked at it, the more awkward he became, snatched the sword, and with a wave of his hand, an egg-thick branch was neatly cut off. Seeing that the sword was so magical, Lao Jiu's eyes were red like an angry bull, but Da Shi frowned in distress.
Tang Ge casually slashed down with another sword, and the big tree next to him was cut three fingers deep, and the entire sword body was stuck in the tree. Dashi couldn't stand Tang Ge's brutal behavior anymore, snatched the short sword, and cherished it in his arms.
Tang Ge said lightly: "Don't be nervous, this sword is generalized, and it is far from the weapon I tailored for you." When your weapons are ready, you will know what the real murder weapon is. ”
********************
With the Blood Drinking Sword, Fat Wu and Qingshan finally stopped looking for Tang Ge to make noise. Tang Ge can finally do whatever he wants in the sword house.
Tang Ge, who obtained the right to manage Jianlu thoroughly, did the first thing he did was to have a set of carpentry tools made. Axes, saws, planers, chisels, rulers. A simple set of a few pieces, and there are not many materials, but it is what Tang Ge has been longing for for a long time.
Originally, everyone was dedicated to production, and Tang Ge was really embarrassed to enrich his private pockets. But now, the steel is being beaten repeatedly, striving to achieve the level of 100 steel, and the copper ore is also being purified repeatedly, and it will be melted into copper ingots and put away. In addition to these two things, he didn't have to worry about other Tang Ge, and he could finally free up his hands to do something he had wanted to do for a long time.
Tang Ge wants to make furniture. Very simple furniture. Tang Ge, who has long been fed up with the floor, has not tried other methods. For example, he wanted to make a bamboo bed, but he couldn't try it several times, and it was whimsical to make a bed out of bamboo without tools. Simply cutting the bamboo into the right length made him break his brain.
Now that he has the tools, Tang Ge can finally show his skills. As the leader in the sword house, Tang Ge had the conditions and reasons to spare a few people to help him conduct the "carpentry experiment".
First build a workbench, and then teach the craftsman to experiment with the tenon and tenon structure, cut the timber to the standard length, and then assemble it, and continue to work in the unsuitable place. After two or three days of hard work, an ugly but stable wooden bed was finally born. Tang Ge burst into tears with excitement. With the bed, he can finally say goodbye to the nightmare about rheumatism and cold legs.
The five clansmen were characterized as carpenters by Tang Ge. Next, they will continue to make tables and stools for Tang Ge, and these things will also become the special commodities of the tribe.
Must be a featured item, as other tribes don't have carpentry tools.
****************
In the blink of an eye, it's another week, and the Tribal Expedition Trading Team will set off today. Tang Ge accompanied the clansmen to see off the trading team. Originally, Tang Ge also wanted to follow the caravan to see the world, but as soon as he said this, he was sternly rejected by the fat witch, and he almost sent someone to keep an eye on him twenty-four hours a day, and Tang Ge had no choice but to die of this heart.
The candidate to lead the team has already been determined, it is Aunt Xue's husband Changshan. Chang Shan is eloquent, clever and a good businessman. Xiaoya's husband Xiaodong is also inside, and the long-distance team of a total of twenty people is still more dangerous than other trading teams. Tang Ge had seen the pomp and circumstance of the far-traveled trading team in the bazaar. The men drove elephants, drove tigers and leopards, and carried all kinds of livestock, and there were a hundred and ten warriors guarding the caravan alone. Not to mention the domesticated beasts and the weapons that can drive away the slaves who come forward to fight. Such a team can run rampant in the wasteland,
Twenty men were thrown into the wasteland, the size of a medium-sized hunting party. Although it seems that such a team is too weak, they also have an advantage that other caravans can't match, and that is cargo. The large caravans had a lot of goods, everything, and all the goods were piled up like a hill, so they had to control a lot of livestock to camel goods, and they also had to send a lot of warriors to follow and protect.
Changshan's goods are simple. Some ornaments with glaze pendants, each person is assigned to hide a little bit, which is almost like empty-handed. And the tribe did its best to arm them, and iron tools could not be taken out of the tribe, so they were armed with the best stone tools. Each person should have at least two stone knives, four throwing spears, and one spear.
