All of Long Qiupeng's absent-mindedness disappeared in an instant when he saw the ore, and the reddish-brown ore exuded a familiar fishy sweet taste. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info His heart skipped a beat in an instant, and he nervously asked the deer: "Are you sure it's abandoned?" ”

The deer was startled, blinked his eyes, and replied nervously, "Yes...... Should...... Be...... Right, why don't I send them to see it again?! ”

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Long Qiupeng didn't wait for the deer to finish speaking, so he urged the deer to send someone out quickly and investigate it carefully.

Because this ore is indeed not copper ore, but, iron ore.

In the primitive society where copper smelting technology was not very developed, iron ore would not be valued as an unfamiliar mineral deposit, so it was indeed easy to be ignored by primitive people in many cases. But the bursts of primitive technology are often point-like, accidental, and he can't imagine what kind of threat his tribe will face if one day the hilly tribe discovers the value of iron ore.

Long Qiupeng bit his lip, he really didn't give him a chance to breathe! The Mound Tribe must be eradicated as soon as possible, otherwise, once the opponent's technology leaps forward, then the enemy who was originally equal will gain an overwhelming advantage, and Long Qiupeng, who is so impressive as the tribe, will definitely not allow himself to watch such a thing happen.

When Lu returned to the council hall again, he brought food, because he knew that Long Qiupeng liked to be alone when he was irritable, so he specially brought lunch.

He put the rice on the low table on Long Qiupeng's side, and said, "I confirmed it, it is indeed abandoned, but they will still confirm it again, and the leader doesn't have to worry too much, let's eat some food first." ”

Hearing Lu say this, Long Qiupeng still felt a little relaxed, he squeezed a smile at Lu and said, "Hey, you are hard enough, you have to take care of me." ”

The deer scratched his head and smiled and said, "Actually, my sister specially pulled me and asked me to send it over." ”

Long Qiupeng was stunned, he hadn't noticed it before, it turned out that Xi, who had unloaded his responsibilities and burdens, was also a gentle and virtuous woman. He also smiled at the deer, and the atmosphere became relaxed.

At this time, according to the morning agreement, the Great Lake also arrived here. He told Long Qiupeng that Xiong had already found him, and he would arrange the rest as soon as possible, and then asked: "What about the bow and arrow?" ”

"I'll do it myself, I'll give you a new model of the bow as soon as possible, and then you can arrange a special man." Long Qiupeng thought that Dahu was also lacking in skills now, and this kind of thing that needed to be completed beyond the imagination of the times should be left to himself.

After dinner, Long Qiupeng dismissed the people who usually surrounded him and asked them to carry out their work as soon as possible, while he stayed in the house to sort out the things that needed to be done recently.

The first is to sort out the staffing, arrange the rotation of Xishan Village and Huoshen Village, and rearrange the deployment of Huoshen Village, which is urgent and important, but it has been delegated to Xiong to do, and he only needs to check it in two days. You can delete it from ToDoList.

At the same time, there is the issue of weapon improvement, which is urgent and important. However, the manufacturing process of axes and halberds is relatively simple, and I believe that soon Dahu will find a way, but the production of recurve bows seems to have a long way to go, and the bows and arrows that the tribe now has may not be advantageous in real wars, and primitive social wars are almost everywhere, after experiencing these things, Long Qiupeng does not dare to be half lazy about this, so the priority set for this work is: high. However, since the clay cannot be fired until it has dried, it seems that there is no need to do anything today.

And then there are the inexplicable enemies around the Horde, urgent and important, which have been delegated to the patrols. But this matter is uncontrollable in the first place, so at present, he can only step up his reconnaissance speed and defense ability, and catch the opponent's pigtails as soon as possible. This incident seems to have nothing to do with other things, but it may also be the fuse or compass that guides Long Qiupeng's next foreign policy. So this task is the highest priority, however, it is temporarily suspended.

Finally, there is the problem of the abandoned iron ore of the hill tribe, in fact, the iron ore itself is not a problem, the problem is that this iron ore belongs to the enemy, so this iron ore has become a time bomb, which can be detonated at any time. But according to Long Qiupeng's grasp of historical common sense, theoretically it will not detonate now. So this matter is important but not urgent, Long Qiupeng decided to get more information before making plans, so priority: medium.

After combing, Long Qiupeng also had a relatively complete understanding of the situation he was in now, and the anxiety in his heart was also resolved a lot.

The two things with the highest priority and the most eagerness were temporarily suspended, and at this time, another thing popped out of Long Qiupeng's brain. The urgency and importance of this matter are low, but it is where Long Qiupeng's interest lies, that is, Archer Yi.

Thinking of this, Long Qiupeng remembered that tonight, before dinner, the deer and the bear would hold an archery competition, and accordingly pardon a group of slaves and let them participate in their own defense team as archers. Could there be that Yi in this?

So when it was almost time for dinner, Long Qiupeng did not lock himself in the house, but went to the square of Huoshen Village to watch the archery competition with great interest. As a result, he looked around a few times with great interest, but he didn't find Yi's figure.

Since he came, Long Qiupeng still watched a few rounds of games under the arrangement of Zailu, although one of them is still far from Qingmang and Lu, but in general, it is also useful. Lu and Xiong discussed the selection of a few people, and Long Qiupeng, as the leader, publicly announced the identity of their clansmen.

Then there are ceremonies, celebrations. For the clansmen, this seems to be an entertainment, for the slaves it is a trial of joy and sorrow, and for Long Qiupeng it is more like a routine. The chosen ones did not impress him, and the cumbersome rituals were only used to make the slaves aware of the gap between themselves and ordinary people.

Finally the ritual was over, and the bear and deer had taken in the newly forgiven slaves, who joined in the revelry of the clansmen and waited for the meal to take place.

It was only at this time that Long Qiupeng got a gap, approached the deer, and asked him, "Where is Yi?" Why didn't he come to the competition? ”

Lu shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly to Long Qiupeng: "He said that he is not an archer, and he can't shoot arrows." Obviously, the implication is to refuse to participate in this competition.

"Even so......" Long Qiupeng looked around again, confirming that Yi not only did not come to participate in this game, but also did not even appear in this carnival, "The slaves should all rest today." He never showed up. ”

The deer did not answer him, but looked at the watchtower. Long Qiupeng knew that he meant that Yi was going to guard the tower again, and he looked at the deer in surprise, because the deer was different from other clansmen, he was the same as Xi, kind and gentle, and he was not the kind of person who oppressed people. The reason why Yi did this can only be that he asked for it.

"How do you arrange your shifts?" Long Qiupeng asked.

Lu said: "The new shift, I will discuss with Xiong tomorrow, then he won't have to work so hard every day, but now there is no way, because I still have a lot of things to deal with, so I can't work all night, so he usually goes to work all night after work, until the second half of the night I go to replace him." ”

Long Qiupeng sighed, he knew that no matter whose problem it was, it shouldn't be the deer's problem, to say that the hardest working people in the tribe, maybe the deer was even above those slaves. He said to the deer, "It'll be all right in a while, so go and rest." From tomorrow onwards, you won't have to schedule your own shifts. ”

Lu wanted to say something, but Long Qiupeng grabbed ahead of him and spoke: "They are not as alert as you, but if you fall, I will have more trouble, take care of yourself." For your sister's sake, for me's sake. ”

As soon as Long Qiupeng said this, the deer had nothing to say, he knelt in front of Long Qiupeng, put his right hand on his chest, and wordlessly swore allegiance. Long Qiupeng smiled at him and helped him up.

Perhaps because of the intensity of the construction of the new home, the carnival of the tribesmen did not last long, and everyone basically dispersed after eating.

Lu went back to rest early in the morning according to Long Qiupeng's instructions, and Long Qiupeng went to the watchtower where Yi was alone.

"Who!" Yi, as he did yesterday, reacted when Long Qiupeng approached the watchtower, but this time he quickly recognized the other party, so he didn't say anything and put away the arrow.

Long Qiupeng then climbed the watchtower, and Yi was still the same taciturn as yesterday, showing neither reverence nor offense to Long Qiupeng.

"Today...... Didn't show up for the dinner? Long Qiupeng originally wanted to ask him why he didn't go to the archery competition, but he was afraid to lead the conversation to yesterday's development, so he changed the subject again. But this topic did not get Yi's answer.

This forced Long Qiupeng to ask again: "Have you eaten dinner?" But he was still silent.

Long Qiupeng pretended to be impatient and said to him: "What, you hate me so much?" Long Qiupeng knew that Yi had a lot of thoughts about seeking death in his heart, and he wasn't even sure if Yi's actions were deliberately provoking himself to death, so he changed his question and tried to pry the other party's mouth open.

Sure enough, in order to clarify that he didn't mean this, Yi answered Long Qiupeng's question for the first time: "Slaves, you are not qualified to have dinner......"

Seeing that Yi Lao lowered his head, Long Qiupeng simply did it in the place opposite him, and tried to see the other party's face clearly under the light of the fire. Yi seemed to have discovered Long Qiupeng's intentions, and immediately knelt down, and the whole person was prostrate on the ground.

At this moment, Long Qiupeng figured out the other party's intentions, he lowered his head like this not because of humility, he didn't need to be humble, because he didn't care, he wasn't afraid of angering anyone, obviously he was afraid of what Long Qiupeng would see.

Long Qiupeng suddenly stood up, grabbed him, and flipped him to the ground. When he saw Yi's face, he understood.
