The root of a tribe is the water source, and there is no guarantee of survival without the water source, which is the wisdom summed up by the ancestors, and Oma also follows this wisdom, but it is a pity that the idea is good, and the reality is too cruel. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"It doesn't matter, eat something first, I'll look for it with you later, I don't believe that such a big forest will not have a place for our family to live. Zhen smiled and handed Oma a wild fruit, and then raised his head and shouted: "Tong Yan has eaten, come down and get a few for Tong Hu." ”

"Oh~" Tong Yan hurriedly agreed, rubbed off some of the things he had just drawn, and quickly came down from the top of the tree.

From Grandma's hand, she took a sour fruit and took a bite, and asked, "Abba, haven't you found a water source yet?"

Oma didn't lie to him, nodded and said: "It's not easy to find, wait a minute, I'll go to the east to see, maybe I can find it, you are honestly at home, your aunt is going out, and Tonghu still needs you to take care of it." ”

"Understood, but Abba, I have a way to drink water without having to look around!" Tong Yan nodded obediently and said to Oma.

The latter reached out and rubbed his head, not wanting to listen to the words at all, and got up to move his body, "It's morning, while there is no danger, I'll go to the east first." So saying, he ran quickly into the bushes.

Zhenmu sent her husband away, and when Tong Yan had almost eaten, she let Tong Yan go to the grass house, and she also had to go to the south to have a look.

Until Tong Yan got into the grass hut, Zhen left.

Tong Yan put down the wild fruit, looked at the disappeared parents, and thought to himself, I'm afraid there is really no water source around here, but as long as I go back and find those tools for mining, I can dig a well with some effort, and the water source is not a big problem, the key is that this place is ventilated all around, and there is no barrier with them, if I really encounter a beast, I am afraid that Abba alone will not be able to take care of it.

So he quickly climbed down, looked at his surroundings, and walked towards the west.

There was nothing but bushes and shrubs, and when he didn't go far, what appeared in front of him couldn't help but make him happy.

A six or seven meters high fault soil slope, the surrounding is very open, but the victory is not transparent in all directions, if you dig a cave here, at the door to arrange some fences and other things that block the view, it will just solve the urgent need of the moment.

But first he had to find the tools, and to get back to the mine, he had to convince his parents, and he had a plan in mind, remembering the location of the place and hurried back.

After he went back, Oma and Jane hadn't come back yet, but they didn't have to wait long for both of them to come back in frustration, looking at each other and shaking their heads.

Seeing his parents come back, Tong Yan quickly went down and down from the top of the tree to talk about it, striving to live in the cave tomorrow.

"Abba and Auntie, I have a way to find water, but you must promise me one thing. Tong Yan said directly.

Oma and Zhen glanced at him, and wanted to ignore it instinctively, but Tong Yan hurriedly added, "I'm going back to the mine, I want to find those tools." ”

"What? can't go back, we can't use those things. Oma immediately changed color, categorically denied, although he didn't know what the mine was, but he knew what the location of the place Tong Yan was referring to.

Tong Yan really didn't understand, why they couldn't use metal things, the weapons were okay, but the tools couldn't be used.

"Abba, I have to go, those tools are not weapons, and I don't know why you insist on not using metal objects, but it seems that only these tools can save our lives. Tong Yan shouted loudly.

Oma's face became ugly, Jane looked at her son, that serious look was deeply fixed in her eyes, she suddenly smiled: "Oma, tell him, our son is very sensible, although he is only three years old, but can you feel that he is a three-year-old child?"

A strange look flashed in Zhen's eyes, and at the same time smiled at Tong Yan, Oma listened to his wife's words, took a deep breath and said: "Tong Yan, do you know why we don't use metal objects? ”

Yes?

Tong Yan never thought that Oma would say such a reason.

"The Iron Eater is very ferocious, not only eats people and animals, it also eats metal, and what is even more terrifying is that after eating metal, it will turn metal into armor on its own body, becoming more difficult to deal with, your grandfather, your uncle are all dead in the mouth of the Iron Eater. Oma's voice was filled with fear.

Tong Yan hurriedly asked, "Abba goes out hunting every day, is it just to monitor the movements of the Iron Devouring Beast?"

"How do you know?" asked Oma, shocked.

"Because Abba went out hunting every day, but he only caught very little, and sometimes he was scarred on his body, so he must have watched the Iron Eater. Tong Yan said reasonably.

My son is not ordinary, he told you not to hide it from him, but you didn't listen. Zhen rubbed Tong Yan's head dotingly, and laughed out loud, looking very show-off.

Oma wiped the sweat from his forehead, completely speechless.

Tong Yan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but asked in his mouth, "Abba, is there an Iron Devouring Beast in this place now?"

"Of course not, the Iron Eater is only in the north, if I have it, can I still let you be here so easily?" Oma replied affirmatively.

Hearing this, Tong Yan laughed out loud: "Then what else is Abba worried about? Obviously, in the north, with those guys in front of us, what danger will our family have?"

Oma was stunned for a moment, then he reacted, and said secretly in his heart, yes! The Iron Devouring Beast is in the north, I'm really used to worrying, but is Tong Yan really only three years old? How is he smarter than me? This is really my son?

Syllable!

"What do you think? This is the son you asked the wolf god to send, is it still wrong?" Jane saw through what Oma was thinking at a glance, and went up and slapped him.

Oma smirked twice, scratched his head, and secretly scolded himself for being confused.

So under the leadership of Oma, Tong Yan revisited his hometown, looking at the mess all over the ground, Tong Yan wanted to know very much what would be in this mine.

However, because it was out of place now, and I was afraid that there would be danger inside, I didn't go inside, and looted all the things on the ground, everyone carried a large bag of things, and what was on Oma was the sum of Tong Yan and them.

The family of three did not stop for a moment, and quickly returned to the thatched hut where they were hiding.
