The children were chopping wood nearby, the dogs and the wolf cubs had let go, and ran out of the valley to chase the prey, there was little grass and trees here, it was difficult to feed herbivores, and it was estimated that large animals would not come, it was safer, and they were relieved.

The father was busy cleaning up the holes for the night, the two children were chopping wood, and one child was in charge of carrying them to the holes, and everyone was busy and happy, and they knew that the night came quickly in the mountains, and the winter night was faster in the valley, and they had to hurry up all the time to work.

The shadow of the sun shining down on the hill slowly moved from valley to valley, and their preparations for the night were slowly getting better, everyone was happy and busy, and no one felt that it was hard, this was all their life.

When the sun's light and shadow shone on a high ridge in the outermost part of the valley, the youngest son was carrying a bundle of firewood to the hole with a red face, looking up at the light and shadow in the distance, he couldn't help but speed up his pace, and then raised his head to look at the gradually blurred mountain rocks in the distance, he found a big cat squatting on a stone not far away, his heart immediately tightened, and he hurriedly shouted loudly.

His father and brothers were so startled by his screams that they all looked at him, and because of the light, they did not see any danger, but they all put down their work and rushed without hesitation.

The shouts of everyone and the sound of heavy footsteps did not scare the big cat away.

This was the first time the big cat had seen a human, and he didn't see the sharp teeth of these animals running there, so he thought it was nothing more than that, so he kept squatting on the rocks and watching the huge holes of these animals.

When they got closer, everyone saw what kind of big cat it was, it was clearly a snow leopard!

When danger came, the hunters first thought of hunting dogs, but at this time the dogs and wolves were chasing their prey, and they were four or five miles away, and they could not hear the movement here, and they could not smell the breath of other animals in a valley.

The father and the children saw the situation of the enemy and the enemy, and gradually retreated to the higher places, and they all clutched their killing knives, axes, and wooden spears tightly, ready to engage in battle at any time.

The snow leopard saw that so many animals did not take the initiative to attack, but quietly retreated, it was not expected to be a dangerous animal, it was estimated that it could be slaughtered like a sheep, so it relaxed its tightened forehead, swaggered closer, and stared at the unknown animal in front of him.

While the snow leopard was pondering who to swallow from, the father shouted loudly, and the children rushed out in unison and pounced on the snow leopard.

The snow leopard in front of him was startled by this sudden change, turned around and ran, but still received a hard stick on his back. A good snow leopard, not only was not beaten down by this stick, but jumped a few steps and ran to the opposite side of the valley, and when he was about to escape from everyone's sight, he heard two wolf howls in the distance, which frightened the snow leopard to stop.

The snow leopard looked at the only two little wolves in front of him, and he didn't pay attention to it at all, and was ready to flee in that direction again, and heard a few jagged dog barks next to the little wolf, so he was so frightened that he stopped again, and at this time it saw clearly the few animals with blood-red teeth in front of it, and it was not good, and wanted to turn around and escape from elsewhere, but just after a few steps, the dog and the little wolf had already surrounded the snow leopard in the middle.

Although the snow leopard is brave, after all, it has been hit with a stick, and it has seen so many fierce enemies, and there are a few unknown animals next to it that will make the tool even more powerful, how can it still have the heart to resist, and inserted its mouth into the rubble, and let out a roar that seemed to cry, but it was a weak leg, lying on the ground and making a look of surrender and begging for mercy.

When the eldest son saw this, he walked straight over and was about to ride on the snow leopard and pinch his neck, but the snow leopard was a snow leopard after all, and the moment the eldest son approached, he rose into the air and was about to bite someone's neck.

The five dogs and two wolves around the snow leopard were so wild that they took off to bite the snow leopard's back, legs, tail and neck at a faster speed than the snow leopard, and forcibly pulled the snow leopard out of the air and rolled and bit together with the snow leopard on the gravel.

The eldest son wanted a complete snow leopard skin, and when he saw an opportunity to ride on the snow leopard's back again, he suddenly grabbed the snow leopard's neck with both hands, and the father and children hurriedly ran over to help.

The dog and the wolf jumped out to make room for their owners.

Although the snow leopard is fierce and powerful, it can't withstand the strength of the four adult humans, and after struggling for a while, it burps.

The children looked at the blood-red teeth of the dog and the little wolf, and knew that they had eaten enough elsewhere just now, so they smiled and said to them, don't eat when you are full today, save it for you tomorrow, and then carry the snow leopard towards the hole.

Generally speaking, snow leopards like to live alone, a snow leopard's predatory radius is dozens of miles, this daredevil's death, tonight is estimated that there will be no animals in this vicinity dare to come.

After peeling the snow leopard skin, putting the snow leopard meat away, and burning the fire, the father and son turned their backs to the sky, spread their four feet, and slept boldly and confidently.

Sure enough, the night was calm and there was no situation, but the cold air that hit them in the morning woke them up.

When I got up, I saw that the fire had been completely extinguished, and only a pile of burnt white ash was left on the ground.

Everyone hurriedly got up to cook on the fire, and after the meal, they found iron ore nearby.

My father used to work in the iron mine in the village with the old lady, which was the family member's, and each household contributed one or two laborers, and everyone worked together and shared iron tools together, ensuring the basic use of iron.

Because of this, my father knew which ones were real iron ores and which ones were others, and which ores were higher in iron and which ones were lower.

After looking at the bottom of the valley for a while, my father was not very satisfied, although these are iron ores, but there are more impurities, and they are not good mines.

The father and the children slowly climbed along the gravel slope towards the base of the mountain, some places were very slippery, two steps slippery and one step, some places the gravel was loose, and the walk was very difficult, sometimes even slipping on the back, and the sharp stones were against the people's teeth and teeth.

In this way, they did not climb much in an hour.

When they finally came to the front, they saw that the color of the stones here was not the same as the one that had fallen down the mountain, the color was darker, and there were some rectangular crystals mixed with some places between the stones, which were bright and transparent, very beautiful, and my father's eyes were shining, and this was the iron ore he was looking for.

There was less gravel here, so my father ran up a few steps, picked up a stone, looked at it carefully, and smashed it with a killing knife. The father was firm in his thoughts, no problem, this look was too familiar to him, and immediately cried out with joy. The children were a little behind, and when they saw that their father was so happy, and knew that they had found the ore, they quickened their pace, using both their hands and feet, and they had arrived for a meal.

My father happily told them that it was iron ore, and told them to remember what it was, and then he inserted a steel drill into a crack in the stone, and tried to pry it vigorously, and then he tried to pry it again in a few places, and finally with a strong force, a large stone was pried out, and it rumbled to the foot of the mountain.

The father beckoned and took the children down the mountain, and he wanted to take the children back to smelt this ore, and if he really made iron, he would bring more people to do it.
