At this time, it was not half a morning, and after everyone simply packed up their things, they walked back together with the stones.

This stone is only half a person high, four people with a hand to lift, can barely lift, if you want to walk a long way, especially through the woods, is not able to carry away, no one can use strength, if four people do not work together, and can not lift the stone, so the father thought of a way, the ore with kudzu vine tied in the middle of two long wood, four people can lift a head, like carrying a pig, both relaxed, can cooperate with each other, but also can use strength, walk steadily.

It was only a day's journey from the valley to their home, and none of them planned to stop at the place where they had spent the night, and they had to carry it to the top of the mountain in one breath before resting.

The road in the mountains, especially carrying such a large thing through the woods, is difficult to walk, not to mention the uphill road, which is not to mention the hard work.

The four people must cooperate tacitly, as long as one person slips, the whole team will be chaotic, and the team will be in chaos, and the ore will fall to the ground and hurt people, because the other three people can't lift the weight of four people - the ore is too heavy, so the four people along the way are cautious, not daring to take a step, each step is to think about the first three steps before daring to get down, and the four people have to act synchronously. In this way, it is extremely slow and very slow.

Actually, they could have not brought such a large piece of ore, and my father wanted to bring a little more, as much as possible to smelt iron from the ore, my father thought that if the content of this ore was low, it would need a lot of ore, and at this time it was no longer necessary to care whether the iron content was high or not, as long as it could be smelted iron, it would be worth it, of course, if the content was high, it would be better.

Beads of sweat the size of beans oozed from the forehead and flowed into the eyes, so hot that everyone couldn't open their eyes, rubbed their sleeves, endured the pain, and continued to move up.

By noon, they had not yet reached the halfway point of the mountain, and finally found a protruding stone that they could put down and rest for a while.

After everyone put the ore steady, they suddenly collapsed to the ground, and exhaled a long breath, almost exhausted.

After settling down a little, everyone picked up a handful of snow nearby and ate it to quench their thirst. They did not dare to delay, and after a short rest, the father called a little wolf, told him to go back and call for help, and then put the pole on his shoulder, and with a shout, he took a step and continued to walk up the hill.

Everyone knows in their hearts that if they go like this, they won't be able to get home even if it's dark, and they have to hurry up.

By noon in the afternoon, the group finally reached the summit and rested for a while.

When they sat down to rest, they could already see their castle in the distance, but if they reached the house, they didn't know how long it would take.

Not long after he sat down, he saw two people walking on the hillside in the distance, one was a mother and the other was a full sister, followed by three or four dogs and a little wolf who ran back to report the news.

The father looked at the two of them, and felt that he had made a mistake in arranging, and he should not let the little wolf go back to report the news. Seeing that my mother and my sister came safely, I was somewhat relieved.

The father and children carried the ore and walked quickly to meet the mother and the full sister, and the group felt deeply cordial like relatives who had been separated for many years.

The mother saw that the father had quickened her pace, and hurriedly raised her voice and shouted: "Don't worry, walk slowly, beware of twisting your waist!" But the mountains and rocks were blocked, and they were far away, and the father and the children couldn't hear it very well, but the meaning was clear, and the family was heart-to-heart, so they slowed down.

Suddenly, the youngest son who was walking behind shouted "ouch", and everyone felt the burden on their shoulders sink, so they immediately stopped and asked what was wrong.

Fortunately, everyone didn't walk fast and was able to stop quickly.

The youngest son hurriedly said that he couldn't pull out one of his feet after stepping into a crack in a stone, and then he tried several times in a row but couldn't get it out, so he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and he was a little panicked.

The father said calmly, don't rush, try a few positions. The youngest son changed a few angles and postures and still couldn't do it, so he had to say in frustration, no.

At this time, the burden on the shoulders felt heavier and heavier, and everyone's hearts were also a little anxious, if the youngest son couldn't pull out his feet as soon as possible, if everyone couldn't bear it on their shoulders, they could only throw it away at the same time.

But now they were on the spine of the mountain, with slopes on either side of their feet, and the ore on their shoulders would inevitably roll down the hill if they were thrown away, and all their efforts would be wasted.

Perhaps due to the anxiety and being caught too tightly by the stone cracks, the surface of the youngest son's feet began to swell at this time, and it became more and more difficult to pull out, and it became more and more anxious.

The eldest son asked everyone to slowly change their shoulders, while trying to calm himself down and think of a way, he knew that he must not panic at this moment, it is good to successfully throw away the burden on his shoulders, at most it is a waste of effort, if he can't successfully throw it away, the ore that falls is likely to hit people, and then it will be troublesome.

This scene should have been seen by the mother and the full sister, but although they were both on the ridge, the actual distance between them was still very far, at least half a day, and the position they were now behind a boulder, just blocked the view of the mother and the full sister.

Seeing that time was passing little by little, but everyone had no way to do it, my father had an idea, and called the dogs around him loudly, asking them to find a flat stone nearby.

The dogs and wolves immediately took action, and carried their mouths and legs to get rocks here. At the same time as the dog and the little wolf were playing with the stones, the father, the eldest son, and the second son shouted the trumpet, and the three of them slowly turned around, stood face to face, and used three feet at the same time to slowly stack the stones that the little ones got together, and when they were stacked for four or five layers, their hands slowly reached it, and the stones were lifted to a waist-high level.

The youngest son's body can't turn, so he can only not burden everyone, he can't move his feet, he can't change his shoulders, he can only stiffen up.

The father saw that the stone was almost high, so he said yes to the children, and at the same time slowly lowered the burden on his shoulders at the same time, only to hear a soft clang, and the ore block was placed firmly on the stone slab. The eldest son and the second son stood diagonally, holding the burden with their hands to prevent the ore from falling unsteadily, the father lightly unloaded the burden on his shoulders, turned around and came to the younger son, helped the younger son who was bent over and stood on his knees to also unload the burden, helped him to sit on the ground slowly, and used the steel drill to pry the stone crack that clamped the younger son's foot, but the stone crack did not move at all, this is a whole piece of granite.

Seeing that this method did not work, the father used a steel drill to poke the edge of the stone crack near the foot of the younger son, the stone was slowly poked off, the opening of the stone crack slowly became larger, and finally a big hole was exposed, only the last point of the little son's foot was left, the father squatted down, held the steel drill with both hands, and gently poked the edge of the stone crack one by one, but the effect was not obvious, as if the foot was clamped and quickly congested and swollen. The father looked at the gap in the stone that was about to succeed, pointed forward, and said, "Look! Your mother and sister are here."

Following his father's fingers, the younger son, the eldest son, and the second son couldn't help but look forward.

At this moment, the father raised the steel drill and poked it hard at the edge of the stone crack that clamped the little son's foot, only to hear the little son's "ah" shout, and the edge of the stone crack of the clamped foot was finally poked down, and the eldest son's foot was so swollen that he softened, and the younger son also fell to the ground in pain.

The eldest son and the second son didn't see their mother and full sister, and when they heard the younger brother shouting, they quickly turned around, looked at their father and asked what was wrong.

The father whispered, "Okay."
