"Lin Luo, how long can this charcoal burn?"

The chief couldn't help but turn his head to Lin Luo and asked.

"It should be able to burn for a long time. ”

Lin Luo looked at the burning charcoal and replied to the chief.

When he was burning charcoal yesterday, he found that the dry wood was very hard and dense.

Charcoal made with such dry wood will also be more resistant to burning.

Can it burn for a long time?

Hearing Lin Luo's answer, a smile suddenly appeared on the chief's face.

Before, after seeing the advantages of charcoal that is easy to ignite and does not produce too much smoke, the chief was already very impressed.

The reason why the order was not given immediately was that the charcoal burned too quickly, and the demand would be much more than firewood, and it might not be enough to stock up before the dead season.

Now, seeing that the charcoal is still so resistant to burning, the chief has no worries.

"Lin Luo, from now on, you will be responsible for teaching everyone to burn charcoal. ”

"No problem. ”

Lin Luo immediately nodded in agreement.

In fact, this stacking and firing method does not have too much technical content, as long as you keep in mind that the firewood should be dense and do not leave gaps, and the sealing should be tight after burning and no air can enter, these two points are enough.

As the chief's order was given, everyone began to get busy.

Lin Luo directly took those women and children and leveled a clearing nearby.

Then, he began to teach them to build simple charcoal kilns.

In the midst of the busyness, time flies by, and soon it is dusk when the sun sets in the west.

When Lin Luo looked at the fruits of the day's labor with satisfaction, the expression on his face was slightly stiff.

As far as the eye could see, on the flat ground in front of him, dozens of small mounds were scattered in a patchwork manner, and on the tops of several of them were even emitting wisps of green smoke.

This scene was set against the backdrop of the sunset, which made Lin Luo a little unhappy no matter how he looked at it.

If you erect a few more stone tablets and sprinkle some paper money, it will be a living cemetery!

Secretly complaining in his heart, Lin Luo suddenly lost the mood to appreciate the fruits of his labor, and immediately turned around and followed everyone back to the tribe.

......

Call~!

A cold north wind blew, and the last stubborn leaf on the big tree not far away finally fell with the wind unbreakingly.

Looking at the falling dead leaves, Lin Luo turned his head towards the stone mortar and asked, "Today should be the last batch, right?"

"Yes. ”

Hearing Lin Luo's inquiry, Shi Jiu nodded and said, "There will be no more to transport this batch back." ”

Hearing this, Lin Luo immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

It's finally over!

At this time, it has been almost two months since he first burned charcoal.

During this time, they spent their days cutting down trees and burning charcoal.

Now that the dead season is just around the corner, the task of hoarding charcoal has finally been successfully completed before the first snow falls.

When Lin Luo secretly sighed, the team stopped, and they arrived at their destination.

Compared to two months ago, the hills in the area have become bare, and a large number of trees have been cut down and burned into charcoal.

Everyone did not waste any time, and they took action to open small mounds one by one, and collected all the last batch of charcoal to be fired.

After that, they all picked up the last batch of charcoal and galloped away in the direction of the tribe.

The top of the mountain was not very far from the tribe, and with their rapid gallop, it only took ten minutes to return to the tribe.

On the way up the mountain, Lin Luo happened to come across the grain grass that had returned from digging bamboo shoots with other children.

"Luo, look, the bamboo shoots I dug up today are not very big!"

After seeing Lin Luo, Gu Cao immediately held up a large bamboo shoot and shouted at him with a smile.

"Well, it's huge!"

Hearing this, Lin Luo smiled and nodded.

During the dead season, it's impossible to eat only meat.

Therefore, before the dead season, all the children will be arranged to dig bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest and store them.

In the dead season, these bamboo shoots can be eaten as vegetables.

Soon, the group came to the halfway point of the mountain.

However, instead of heading in the direction of the bamboo house, everyone went to another path.

It didn't take long for a cacophony to come from ahead.

Not far ahead, there is a huge cave with a hole about five meters high, and you can see many people wrapped in thick animal skin clothes, busy going in and out of the cave.

By this time, all the people who lived at the foot of the mountain had moved here, and the entire tribe would gather in the cave throughout the dead season.

Lin Luo and the others did not go to the huge cave, but walked to a smaller cave next to it.

It was the place where the supplies were stored, and all the materials such as jerky, charcoal, and bamboo shoots were stored in that cave.

"Gu Cao, go back to the cave and rest! ”

After putting the charcoal into the storage cave, Lin Luo said to Gu Cao.

Then, he hurried to the top of the mountain.

During the dead season, the witch will still live in the cave at the top of the mountain, and will not come down to live with everyone.

"Roar!"

Lin Luo had just climbed the stone steps to the sacrificial square when a roar suddenly sounded.

Along with it, a purple-red figure rushed towards him.

Looking at the rushing figure, Lin Luo not only did not panic in the slightest, but also slightly curled the corners of his mouth to show a smile.

Soon, the two beast claws slapped on his shoulders, and Lin Luo also stretched out his two hands to block the figure that wanted to pounce on him.

"You guy is fat again, do you really want to change your name to Fat Tiger!"

Looking at the huge head of the overlord cub in front of him, Lin Luo pretended to be vicious and said to it.

"Roar!"

Hearing Lin Luo's words, the overlord cub immediately roared dissatisfied.

At this time, it is already a little inappropriate to call the overlord in front of him a cub.

Since they started eating the meat of the beast a month ago, the size of the overlord cub has been like blowing up a balloon, increasing rapidly and getting bigger.

At this time, it weighed more than three hundred pounds, and it was no longer the little guy it was before.

And after these two months of feeding, Overlord Yao has also become extremely affectionate to Lin Luo, and now Lin Luo will receive such a unique "welcome gift" every time he comes over.

After gently patting Overlord Yao's body and letting it lower its claws from his shoulder, Lin Luo walked towards the witch's residence.

At this time, Wu had already taken off the linen clothes he had worn before and replaced them with animal skin clothes sewn from red suede fur.

Due to the bows and arrows made by Lin Luo before, the number of red muntjac hunted this year has greatly increased.

Not only the witches, but also many of the younger children in the tribe also wore animal skin clothes made of red suede fur.

"Wu, how can I conclude a bloodline contract with Xiaohu?"

After saluting Ling and Wu, Lin Luo immediately asked Wu.

He felt that he was now very familiar with and intimate with the overlord, and there should be no problem in concluding a bloodline contract.

Hearing Lin Luo's inquiry, Wu turned his head and glanced at Overlord Yao.

At this moment, after coming to the cave entrance of the witch's residence, Overlord Yao was instantly well-behaved like a cat, lying on the ground and not daring to make any movements.

Because from childhood to adulthood, it is equivalent to being suppressed here by Zizhu, and the scope of its activities is limited to the sacrificial square.

Therefore, every time he approached Zizhu and felt the pure-blooded beast aura on his body, Overlord Yao would become extremely well-behaved.

"Three more days!"

After a few seconds of silence, Wu spoke, "In three days, you will officially conclude the bloodline contract. ”

"Good. ”

Hearing this, a smile suddenly appeared on Lin Luo's face.

This was not the first time he had asked about this matter, but Wu had asked him to wait every time before, and today was the first time he had given him an accurate answer.

After receiving the letter from Wu, Lin Luo happily took out a piece of fierce beast meat and threw it at Overlord Qian.

"Roar!"

Still the same as before, Overlord got up and caught the piece of meat in one bite.

And when Lin Luo took out the second piece of beast meat and was about to feed it to the overlord, he suddenly saw a white dot falling from his eyes.

Subsequently, the second, third, and fourth films......

Seeing more and more small white dots falling from his eyes, Lin Luo suddenly realized something and immediately looked up at the sky.

Suddenly, a white spot fell silently on his face, making him feel a chill.

It's snowing!

"The first snow has fallen!"

Beside him, Wu Ye also looked up at the sky and whispered.
