Chapter 189: The Matter of Iron Smelting

On a quiet path, a teenager walked forward. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The path was rough, not twisting and turning, covered with messy gravel, and on either side of the narrow, knee-deep grass was a sea of water.

Liu Shan looked around, and the place he was in was a relatively deep place in the mountain forest.

The dense foliage of the trees obscures the sky and the sun, and at the same time makes the surrounding light very dim.

The air was so quiet that you could hear a pin dropping.

After walking for a while, Liu Shan slowly raised his gaze, and on a tall tree, the corpses of more than a dozen beasts hung alone in the air.

The corpse looked like it had not been long dead, and the strong smell of blood could be smelled in the distance.

Looking at the corpses, Liu Shan did not stop and continued to walk forward, and when he crossed the path, a young girl appeared in front of him.

"Willow Mountain."

"How's the investigation going?"

Hearing Liu Shan's words, Rose shook her head, looked at the sky, and spoke again: "It's getting dark, we should go back." ”

Liu Shan nodded, and the two rushed straight into the distance.

Soon after, when the two of them walked out of the forest, a village in front of them came into view.

The open space in front of the defensive wall has been cleared, but just after the corpses have been cleaned up, the ground is still covered with blood, and in the corpse pit in the distance, clumps of ashes are raised in the wind from time to time, and a very uncomfortable feeling permeates in front of the defensive wall.

Liu Shan and Rose felt okay, and looking at the defensive wall, those hunters who had endured this atmosphere for a long time were full of murderous intent one by one, looking ahead with black faces.

Even when they saw the two hunters, Liu Shan and Rose, they didn't show a good face.

The two of them didn't pay any attention to these people, and after passing through the defensive wall, they rushed straight to the village.

As they approached the entrance of the village, a large group of people appeared in the distance, gathered together, and the graves had already been dug up, and the corpses were carried and buried in these graves.

The fate of these corpses is much better than that of the dead villagers in Li Village, at least it will not be like burying wild beasts, just digging a big pit and burying everyone in it.

Every Mongolian villager who died had his own grave.

The villagers wept bitterly as the bodies were put into the graves, while others cried and fussed, but were held back by others.

It was late in the sky, and half of the sky was covered with a bright red glow like blood.

It looks like a bright color, but now it is a little sad.

The cry of sorrow, like the remnant wind, is heartbreaking.

People cannot be resurrected after death, but the dead give such painful memories to the living.

This magnificent, suffocating and sad scene cannot be ignored even by onlookers.

There were so many people weeping, most of the villagers had lost their loved ones, and there were too many graves on the ground, like commodities on the shelves.

Liu Shan looked at this group of people from a distance, his eyes moved quietly, and he found a familiar figure.

His gaze sank slightly, and then he turned around and walked over.

By the time he had passed through the crowd, a child could already be seen in front of him, and beside this child, there were other familiar figures.

Compared to others, the environment is not only remote, but also very quiet.

The three of them didn't say a word, but looked silently at a small grave in front of them.

Just as Liu Shan appeared, the child spotted them by sense.

"Big brother, big sister."

Li Ling shouted from afar.

When the two came closer, they saw Liu Shan looking at Li Ling, and said with some surprise: "Why are you here?" ”

"I'm burying my mother's relics here so she can see us here." Li Ling replied innocently.

Hearing such a simple answer, Liu Shan smiled slightly, but his heart couldn't help but feel hot.

"I'm sure your mom would be happy if she could hear it."

"Hmm."

Li Ling listened to Liu Shan's words, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Big brother, Uncle Tie has changed a lot of meat, and we can eat meat every day."

"Well, you have to eat more, too."

Hearing Liu Shan's words, Li Ling immediately shook his head.

"I don't dare to eat, Uncle Tie said, I will gain weight if I eat too much, and I want to be as beautiful as my big sister."

Hearing his words, the people around couldn't help but laugh.

"Benefactor, now the family is stewing meat, if we go back, we will just arrive to eat meat." Li Tie on the side also spoke.

"Okay."

Hearing Liu Shan's words, Li Ling seemed to have forgotten his sorrow and pulled Li Han to stand up.

"It's time to go home and eat meat."

As she said this, she jumped for joy.

"Let's go."

After saying that, the five of them rushed straight into the distance.

The distant afterglow gradually came to an end as the backs of the five of them faded away.

Back in the courtyard, the smell of meat has already spread.

"It smells so good." Both children had excited looks on their faces.

"I'm back." A villager looked at them with a smile.

With a greeting, several big men walked out of the kitchen, and other villagers also came out.

After a while, several large cauldrons fell into the courtyard, and the pots were full of stewed meat.

Li Ling smiled and looked at the oily and shiny large piece of meat in front of him, and did not rush to eat, but set up a piece and put it in front of Liu Shan.

"Sister, I want meat too." Li Han, who was on the side, saw this scene and couldn't help but shout with envy.

"Clip it yourself."

Li Ling ignored his younger brother at all, and put another piece in front of Rose.

"Sister......" Li Han shouted dissatisfiedly.

"Got it, got it."

Li Ling gave another piece to Li Han, and Li Han looked at the flesh, his eyes full of question marks.

"Sister, why are you giving me such a small piece of meat, and so big for my big brother and big sister."

"You have a small appetite, so you naturally eat less." Li Ling opened her mouth without care, she was already eating by herself, and she couldn't help it.

saw Li Han muttering again, "Sister, I also want a big piece of meat." ”

Hearing this, Li Ling's eyes sank slightly, and then he picked up a big bone and put it in front of Li Han.

"Sister."

Li Han was still a little dissatisfied in his eyes, but he looked at the bones, stared at them without blinking for a while, and suddenly seemed to have found something, his face showed a look of surprise, and he bit directly on it.

Although it was a lot of effort to eat, it could be seen that the boy was happy.

Liu Shan watched this scene quietly from the side, and couldn't help but smile on his face.

The actions of the two children reminded him of his childhood, when he and his sister were messing around like this every day.

Although he is an anomaly now, he was just an ordinary person at that time, but now that he thinks about it, it feels pretty good.

He glanced up at Rose and saw that the other was looking at the two children with the same smile on his face.

In his gaze, the rose seemed to feel something, and her eyes stared at him without blinking.

"The investigation will continue tomorrow."

"yes, the mission should also be carried out at the same time."

"Since the other party has been found here, it is likely that it has also been found in Mengcun, after all, this is the only nearby village that can carry out supplies."

Liu Shan shook his head, "I don't know how to analyze it now, the stones that appeared at the beginning were obviously arranged by someone in advance." ”

"Well, in this way, the other party has already appeared, probably earlier than you and me, but if this is the case, the other party's strength should be smaller than ours, so there is no need to worry."

"That's where I wonder." Liu Shan had a puzzled look on his face.

Seeing that his face was full of thought, Rose was also silent for a while.

Suddenly, Rose's eyes moved, looking into the distance.

"Willow Mountain."

Hearing the voice, Liu Shan looked up, then looked behind him, only to see a fire rising into the sky in the distance.

The two children who were eating meat also stopped their movements at this time, and looked at the firelight.

"There was a fire in the village."

A chuckle came at this.

"This disaster, the hunters in the village have lost a lot, it's time to train a group of children to become hunters, this should be to build weapons for that group of people, and supplement the loss of weapons."

Hearing this, the eyes of the two children were already interested.

"Iron, I'm going to see it."

"After dinner, a few of us are going to ask for help, so let's see enough of each other." After Li Tie finished speaking, he laughed.

His voice was so loud that it could be heard almost clearly throughout the courtyard.

Liu Shan still looked at the place where the fire rose, and his heart was already very interested.

I saw him turn his head and look at Li Tie and speak: "Brother Li Tie, I don't know if there is a shortage of people in this village, I want to help?" ”

Li Tie, who was eating, heard this and raised his head suspiciously, "The benefactor wants to help." ”

"Not bad."

Seeing that Liu Shan's expression didn't look like a joke, Li Tie spoke: "There is a shortage of people, if the benefactor wants to go, then set off with us." ”

"Okay." After Liu Shan finished speaking, he continued to eat.

Rose looked at him suspiciously, but did not speak.

After eating, everyone left the courtyard and hurried towards the place where the fire was.

Along the way, not only them, but also many villagers are also rushing to the place where the fire shines.

After arriving, Liu Shan found that in a very wide open space, more than a dozen furnaces had already been erected.

These furnaces are four or five meters high, spitting extremely high temperatures, and pieces of ore fall on them, melting into liquid at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Around the furnace, a few sweaty young men were constantly pouring out a large amount of molten iron and pouring it into the mold that had already been arranged.

Soon, the red-hot weapons were taken out, cooled in water, and then handed over to the rest of the blacksmiths to beat.

Li Tie had already led the rest of the villagers to join the iron-making army, but only the two children stood beside Liu Shan and Rose, looking at the furnace with big eyes flashing with curiosity.

While the four were watching, a young hunter emerged from the crowd and came up to them.

"Your Excellency the Hunter, our village chief has something to ask, I don't know if I can have time."

Liu Shan looked at the other party, he had already heard Fang Cai's words clearly, nodded immediately, said a word of advice to the rose, and left with the young hunter alone.

The two walked for a short time when they saw a resolute shed appear in front of them.

The hunters around him began to snatch up, and as he approached the shed, the young hunter also stopped his advance.

Looking at the shed, Liu Shan swept his eyes and walked over.

I saw an old man sitting in the shed, although his hair was almost completely white, but his eyes were bright.
