Chapter 42: The Wind Blows

Then he took Jiang Li to meet the elders, and took the initiative to hand over the three animal skins, at this moment Su Yang felt that he had been sublimated and comprehended the true meaning of life, and he did not take things to be happy or sad!

But this is a delusion, he is just learning to be smart, under the collective system, an individual has three animal skins, that is a sin, and if you hand it over, you can get more.

"Good boy!" The elders praised him for his selflessness. And afterwards, he was repeatedly mentioned in the tribe as a positive teaching material.

When he rushed to the market before, Su Yang handed over the skin he earned, and now he has even handed over the dowry, which is even taller than Kong Rong's pear.

"I've already made the skin twice, and if I do it again, I can compose a song by Su Yang San that will be passed down through the ages, and it will be called Su San's song!"

Jiang Li wore a pair of horns on his head, and officially reached an alliance with the Rock Tribe in accordance with the previously agreed distribution rules as the elder of the Chaos Tribe, which may be the prototype of the tribal alliance.

Seven days later, the more than 1,000 catties of brine brought back from Youyan had been boiled, and about 150 catties of salt had been obtained. Adults hold it in both hands, and this weight is about a pound of salt, which is worth a piece of animal skin.

Su Yang also burned fifty clay pots out, and the previous thirty-four pottery, five of which had been burned and scrapped, were more durable than he expected. There are about ten days left to drive the ruins, and it is expected that a hundred pottery can be burned before departure, and five days after the journey is added, and about fifty pottery can be burned in the tribe. In this case, he made a time difference, that is, after driving the ruins, he asked the Youyan clan to trade with the Chaos Tribe, so that he could hand over one hundred and twenty pottery on time.

At the current pace, it was perfectly fine to repay the arrears, but it occurred to him that the tusk and the meteorite had not been paid. So if you want to buy a population, you have to use salt, and luckily there is enough salt now.

The springs found in the chaotic tribe can produce about 70 catties of salt water on average every day, and can boil out more than 3 catties of salt, and produce 100 catties of salt every month without pressure.

The climate was a little colder, and some people in the tribe began to get sick, so what Su Yang could do was to let the tribesmen develop the habit of drinking boiled water and washing their hands frequently.

He pickled about 200 catties of meat, the method was very simple, divide the meat into long strips, about five catties in pieces, and then apply salt, put the meat in a clay pot, and cover it with bamboo. One of the things to pay attention to is the amount of salt, if there is less salt, the meat will stink, so it is better to be salty than light.

After about a week, take out the meat to dry, dry it properly, and then you can smoke it, which is bacon.

On this day, he was taking a few people to melt the meteoric iron, and after the actual operation, he found that it was not so simple, and the firepower was a little insufficient, if only there was coal.

In order to keep the firepower strong, he asked these people to take turns to fan the wind, dissolving little by little, until he poured out a little molten iron first, and finished the castration four-piece set he wanted, and the tools were formed, and he was ready to take time to polish it slowly in the next step.

This four-piece set, including two castrated clock knives, an enlarged version of a needle, and an enlarged version of an ear picker, used less than a pound of meteoric iron.

Although the meteorite he exchanged for was only the size of a baby's head, the weight was not light, about seventeen or eighteen catties, and it was really not that easy to smelt it out and model it into an axe.

In desperation, he had to melt a little and pour it out, he first made a relatively thin piece of iron, and it took more than a day to continue to fan the flames, before finally dissolving the meteorite and turning it into nine pieces of iron.

Su Yang had a whim, and called nine soldiers to beat the iron pieces over, which was regarded as tempering.

The fire didn't stop, and he had already modeled the axe, just waiting for the molten iron to pour it in. As time passed, the fanning man had changed two batches, and a lot of wood was used, and he put the pieces of iron into the furnace one by one, and finally melted them all into red molten iron.

Just before pouring the molten iron, he had a new idea, and he actually bit some nails with his teeth, spit into the furnace with spittle, and then cut some of his own hair and threw it in.

But he only smelled the smell of burning, and there was no so-called vision at all, it seemed that he was trapped!

Then the furnace tilted, and the molten iron flowed into the fine sand mold, and this modeling was a one-time thing, and if it was not made, it would have to be restarted.

After waiting for a long time, he smashed the mold open, and saw the axe inside, but it was a little different from his imagination, this was more like a rough embryo, the side of the axe blade was enough to be as thick as a little finger, which could not be opened by polishing at all, fortunately, the upper end of the axe left a hole to insert the wooden handle into it.

"Whoa!"

Splash water directly to cool the axe, seize the time to connect the handle, and then burn the stove again, the wind cannot be stopped.

He picked a few of the strongest of the warriors, found a stone hammer, and commanded him how to beat the axe, mainly to make the lower end of the axe flattened, and the closer to the blade it became, the thinner it became.

This time he didn't need to smelt the entire axe, just burn it red, and only the bottom end.

Things went fairly well, but when it came to hammering an axe, it was never the point, and the warriors couldn't be blamed for it, because there was no concept of axe, striking iron, or anything like that in everyone's mind. In the end, he personally went out and demonstrated the method of beating, and it took most of the day to finally reach the passing line in his heart.

At this time, Su Yang had dark circles under his eyes, and roared in his heart, how many fire axes did he miss back then!

While the axe was still red and the temperature had not dropped, he gritted his teeth, bit his index finger ruthlessly, and squeezed out a few drops of blood and landed on the axe.

Suddenly, the wind rose on the flat ground, and the weather changed as soon as it was said, so Su Yang hurriedly poured water on the axe to cool down. By the time everyone evacuated and arrived in the cave, the wind was already raging outside, but fortunately because he was going to forge the axe, he had left all the warriors in the tribe today, so the people should have returned to the cave.

"It's going to snow!" He scratched his head, the plan couldn't keep up with the change, if it snowed now, then the clay pot would not be finished, and it would have a great impact on the boiling salt.

When he came back to his senses, he hurriedly looked at the axe, and his heart was full of a sense of accomplishment, this was most likely the first iron axe in the primitive period, with this axe, the efficiency of cutting down trees in the future would be greatly improved, and he could also create a lot of things from it.

Originally, he wanted to use meteorite to make a spearhead as his weapon, but now it has been made into an axe, which is called selfless dedication, which is enough to compose another song that will be passed down through the ages.

"Hey, what is this?"

When Su Yang turned the axe over, he was stunned, there were two faint red patterns on the other side of the axe, he hurriedly washed it with water, and after seeing it clearly, he already understood that this red light was the blood he had dripped before, but these two blood-colored patterns were very special.

The lines on the left are relatively simple, like an "ancient" character. The right one is more complicated, there are not too clear lines, but the shape of the pattern is like a small snake coiled there!
