Chapter 32: A Lake? Got mines?
The women began to gather firewood in the surrounding woods and pull down small trees. The newly seized stone axe showed very good results, although it was not sharp, but the branches were frozen and stiff and brittle, and it was very useful to break the branches rather than cut them.
The bark of some small trees is very green and tender, and it is even more tender when the outer layer of ice is roasted on the fire, which is just right for the horse to eat.
Then Wang Qiang saw how big the horse's appetite was, and he couldn't get enough of eating the bark of thirty small trees! Well, if you don't eat it too well, you'll be counting on it for tomorrow's guerrilla lure.
Eventually, hundreds of firewood covered the corpses of the jackals, and a raging smoke and fire rose into the sky in the snowy night.
At this time, Wang Qiang was so tired that he couldn't stand up, this day from going out in the morning wearing dozens of pounds of bear skin to feeding the horses in the middle of the night, Wang Qiang has never been so tired in his life, if it weren't for thinking that this was playing a game Wang Qiang would have collapsed a long time ago.
Sister Hua handed over the two dagger-like tusks to Wang Qiang and Ah Duo and said solemnly: "This is the tusk of the tusked tiger that was pulled out, it is said that the tusks of the beast can bring courage and luck, and the ancestors will definitely bless the chief!" ”
Blessed by the ancestors again! Wang Qiang was no longer able to argue, so he had to advise: "Let's go back, remember that when you go back, the people behind you will clean the footprints all the way, lest the snow is not big enough to cover the footprints, you wait for my good news." ”
Although the clansmen already knew that tomorrow might be the most critical or even the last battle, as a prehistoric human with a high mortality rate, once again showed the transcendent quality of being downcast for life and death, and they also said goodbye one after another: "Okay, the chief must be careful!" ”
"Ah Duo, you must pay attention at night!"
"Take care, everyone!"
At this point, the figures of the tribesmen carrying animal skins disappeared into the darkness, and Ah Duo also pulled the horse into the fire of the bear cave, Wang Qiang could no longer bear it, and directly fell asleep beside the fire wrapped in a fishy and smelly leopard skin.
At the moment before falling asleep in a daze, Wang Qiang suddenly felt that since he could sleep next to the horse, he didn't care about the smell of the leopard's skin, and he should just hug the little girl Ah Duo to warm up, even if he failed tomorrow, it could be regarded as leaving something memorable in the game...... It's just that I can't lift my energy......
At dawn, Wang Qiang was woken up by Ah Duo, Wang Qiang suddenly found that he couldn't get up, and there was no place in his body that was not sore in his neck, shoulders, arms, stomach, thighs.
Wang Qiang knows that this is called muscle hypoxia, which is the sequelae of strenuous exercise for people who have not exercised for a long time. Although Wang Qiang, as a big anchor, also knows how to exercise, but now it is useless to say anything, Wang Qiang can only make up his mind: as long as this level is passed, if there is a reward that can enhance physical fitness, it must be exchanged no matter what!
With Ah Duo's support, Wang Qiang got up with difficulty. At this time, the snow outside the cave stopped, and the ruins of the fire were already covered by heavy snow, and the crows of black crows were scavenging snow on the ruins to feed. The messy footprints left by last night were also covered by snow. Very good, that's what I want.
Then set off on horseback! The target, the tallest wooded hill on the other side of the river, can be burned while looking at the surrounding situation. If it is possible, stop by and see where the tribes on the other side of the river are.
Speaking of which, the tribe that defects to the other side may be one of the most reliable ways to start the game, and it is even very likely that it will not play the spawn base of the highest difficulty. After all, there is no reversal of his start, and the other tribes have been wiped out, only this tribe can take over, so the strength of this tribe should not be too weak? If they were easily destroyed, who would be able to stop this group of knights in this area?
So if possible, try to confuse the enemy and try to save them. Well, I'll think about it too much and get through the day.
The two of them rode over the solid frozen river to the hilly mountains on the opposite bank, about fifty or sixty stories high, with a gentle slope and snow-covered cedar trees, typical of the Jiangnan hills. It's okay, it's convenient to walk the horse, Wang Qiang doesn't want to get off the horse and walk in this state.
Then he climbed to the top of the mountain, and looked around, surrounded by large and small hills, and then Wang Qiang found that between the distant hills was a large ice surface, and at the far point it seemed that there was an endless frozen lake at the end of the mountains, and they were like mirrors shining on the morning horizon.
Wang Qiang was stunned: "Is the lake over there? ”
Ah Duo said blankly: "I don't know, our people have never been there!" ”
Wang Qiang was stunned, Wang Qiang knew that the two most famous lakes on the Yangtze River were Dongting Lake in Hunan and Poyang Lake in Jiangxi.
Could it be that this is the prehistoric Dongting Lake or Poyang Lake? What's so special about your most difficult start in this position? Learn from Sun Quan to develop a navy and build a country? Learn from the Eastern Jin Dynasty to rely on the Yangtze River to block the Hu people's iron horses? The problem is that it's an ice age, you can walk horses on the ice, what's the use of a water army? Could it be that it will last until winter and run rampant?
In a daze, Ah Duo reminded, "Chief, start the fire?" ”
Well, if you don't understand, it's important to burn the mountain, the pine trees in this mountain are fragrant with pine oil and rosin, and it will be very powerful to burn.
So Wang Qiang and Ah Duo tied up the horse and let it dig pine fruits in the snow to eat. Then he began to cut and collect firewood, and with the help of a stone axe, he soon collected a large pile of wet firewood.
Then the thick snow on the top of the mountain must be unpleasant, then snowball to clear the field, clear a clearing of earth and rocks mixed with frozen moss, and then pile up the messy moss and stones by the way, to prevent the wind and facilitate the ignition. It's windy at the top of the mountain now, and the hardest part is probably ignition.
For Ah Duo's ignition ability, Wang Qiang is very confident. Sure enough, Ah Duo had something new this time, opening a box of lard-like paste from the mussel shell.
Ah Duo said excitedly: "This is the bear oil burned by Sister Hua, as long as there is oil, no matter how wet the firewood is, it can be lit!" ”
Wang Qiang is very pleased, he will burn bear oil now, and he will burn oil in the future, there is a future! Wang Qiang was not idle, and continued to pick up the small trees around the mountain to add firewood.
Finally, as the smoke of fire rose, Wang Qiang was tired and paralyzed again.
Ah Duo swallowed the snow and handed over a piece of hot roasted bear meat: "Chief, eat!" ”
Wang Qiang squinted at her dirty meat-grabbing hands, and immediately remembered that she had never washed her hands since the first day he met her!
Wang Qiang hurriedly said: "I've said it a few times, wipe your hands with snow before eating, so you will get sick from eating soil!" ”
Ah Duo said disapprerovingly: "The wild boar that the tiger eats with mud is also eaten directly...... Having said that, she still obeyed the chief's arrangement and began to wipe her hands with snow.
Wang Qiang, as a modern civilized person, is even more demonstrated, but when Wang Qiang wiped his hands, he suddenly found that the green on his hands was a little strange - should this be the moss green on the stone? Why is it so hard to wipe?
Wang Qiang subconsciously glanced at the stone under the firewood pile, the moss on the stone had been burned dry, but the stone was still green - Wang Qiang's heart trembled, did he ignore something terrible?
Wang Qiang hurriedly dug out a stone from the clearing around him, yellow and green, and the part that exposed the surface was also covered with a layer of moss. Wang Qiang peeled off this layer of moss and looked carefully, it was still green!
Wang Qiang got up and smashed this stone hard into another stone on the ground - pop! A few small pieces of rubble flew out. Wang Qiang hurriedly checked the wound of the gravel, the wound was red, yellow and green, no matter how long the moss grew, it was impossible to grow into the stone! At this moment, Wang Qiang realized that he had found a treasure - this is copper ore?
Although Wang Qiang has never seen real copper ore, he has mined a lot in the game, and the copper ore in the game is usually painted in two colors: red and green. It's just that I just picked it up and found that the copper mine is too fake? A normal copper mine should be hollowing out all the mountains, right?
In order to verify his speculation, Wang Qiang began to go to the mountainside to dig snow to find stones, and the results were all this kind of green stone! Wang Qiang was a little excited and couldn't believe it, could it be that Brother Cheng discovered an open-pit copper mine? It's not high at all, is it okay? It's even more too much in the open air, it's completely open! Don't let my brother play the game well?
At this moment, Wang Qiang once again examines a question that he doesn't know whether it is important or not - where is this? What is the place where there is a mine by the Yangtze River - a very famous place immediately popped up in Wang Qiang's brain: Hubei Daye!
