So, now that I see such a small thing, everyone is not interested, as for making clothes, I am going to wait until tomorrow to talk about it, anyway, there is nothing to do at home recently, and I will do it slowly tomorrow.

Just as he was about to put down the muntjac, his father found a scar on the muntjac's buttocks—a scratch from the sharp claws of some animal.

Seeing this, my father's heart couldn't help but tense for a while.

He knew that trouble was coming, so he hurriedly told everyone to be vigilant to prevent danger, and asked the third son to burn the fire bigger, and light another pile of firewood ready at any time, so that the two pairs of firelight shot straight out, and the mountains and forests that shone far and near became more and more orange, and the nearby stone mountains were bright, as if they were smeared with a layer of wax, and the black shadows on it suddenly decreased a lot, but more and bigger black shadows appeared in the distance, and some of the black shadows appeared above the hairy things, I don't know what was going on.

Only then did my father realize that this mountain muntjac had run to this rocky mountain because he was hiding from these things.

It stands to reason that the mountain muntjac will never run to this stone mountain indiscriminately, there is no food here, and it does not need to come in and hurt people, let alone hurt people, from the scar on the buttocks behind the mountain muntjac, it confirms his father's judgment.

The eldest son knew that there would be a big problem, so he quickly asked his mother to go downstairs and take care of the stone cave door, and at the same time, let all the dogs and little wolves stand on the roof of the building to prevent danger from appearing at any time.

My cousin brought a dozen arrows from a wooden box on the roof of the building and placed them next to his eldest son and father, so that they could use them at any time.

The uncle and the cousin raised their spears, and if any animal dared to approach here, then they would be unceremonious.

The third son and the second son, one armed with a killing knife and the other with a steel drill, were also ready to fight.

After waiting for a long time, the black shadows on the top of the stone mountain were still the same. My father knew that he couldn't wait like this, because the animals were squatting and basically resting, without effort or effort, while they were with arrows and knives in hand, and they were highly concentrated. You must always be alert to all possible dangers, so you can't just wait.

The father picked up the three arrows, slowly walked to an arrow platform in the middle of the top and sat down, slowly put the three arrows on the bowstring fixed on the arrow platform, gently inhaled a breath, and pulled the bowstring back vigorously, and the bowstring was set on a barb of the arrow platform.

The eldest son knew that his father was going to be excited, so he made all the dogs and the little wolf bark. Startle the animals above, and if they move at the slightest movement, my father's arrow will shoot through the clouds and straight through. At the first shout of the little ones, the vague black shadows on the stone mountain suddenly shook, as if they had suddenly grown a lot taller and bigger, and almost at the same time, the three arrows on the arrow platform had come out silently. He ran towards the black shadows, and then saw a few black shadows swaying a few times above. It tumbled down with a thud.

Before the other animals could dodge or escape, five more arrows came at the gallop, and a few black shadows swayed and fell.

By this time, the uncle, his second son, and his cousin were already armed with steel drills, spears, and killing knives, and were in the yard with a group of dogs and wolves, as long as the animals rolled down. Their stuff will be summoned to the animals, so that they will never have a chance to harm others.

In fact, the stone mountain is more than ten feet high, and any animal will definitely not survive if it falls, let alone be hit by an arrow.

After a busy night, everyone finally cleaned up these harmful things. I caught eleven things, one was the mountain muntjac, and the other ten were all dogs, the size of two cheetahs.

After a busy night, everyone was also tired, except for the cousin and the full sister, who took care of the baby, the other men and women all played. By dawn, they were so tired that their backs hurt, and they just wanted to sleep quickly, but this time was often the most dangerous time, and who knew if there was anything else on it.

The eldest son and the elder sister continued to watch from the top of the building, the mother and the cousin made breakfast, and the others and all the dogs and wolves went to sleep and rested, and they didn't do anything else today.

The father and the uncle couldn't sleep for two hours, and then it was the turn of the eldest son and the others to sleep and rest.

In fact, nothing else happened all day, and the whole valley was full of sunshine and wind, and it was warm everywhere.

The eldest son could not sleep for two hours, so he got up and walked around outside the castle, and looked into the vegetable garden, and walked around the stone house before dark, and then returned to the new castle for dinner.

At dinner, the safety issue on the stone mountain became a topic of discussion, and no one had a good way to say it, either it was time-consuming and laborious, or the effect was not good, or it could not be done at all for the time being.

According to my father's method, if I can't do it for the time being, I will put it down first, and wait until I slowly come up with a solution.

When they stood guard at night, everyone was talking about it, and there was still no good idea, but it had to be solved sooner or later, otherwise it would not be a problem for things to fall from the top of their heads all day long, not to mention that the little ones would play in the yard all day long - they must not be allowed to fall into the yard again.

Four days later, the eldest son finally came up with a way, so that everyone could sleep peacefully and not worry about the safety of the baby playing in the yard.

The stakes were very high, and after discussing it, my father made it a top priority and arranged to do it the next day.

The next day, everyone got up early in the morning, and according to the division of labor of my father last night, we went separately and got busy.

Originally, the father had asked the eldest son to be in charge of the family's affairs, but this matter was too important, and the father still thought it would be better for him to preside over it.

Specifically, on the rocky hill behind the castle, a circle of chestnut thorns, stinky trees and sumac trees are planted densely.

These three things have their own characteristics, needless to say, the chestnut thorns are full of thorns, hard and sharp, as long as they are pierced, they will never run away.

The smell of the tree can be smelled two or three feet away, and it will feel very uncomfortable to smell it a little farther away, and it will be dizzy and nauseous if you get closer - of course few people or animals dare to go to it - it is very likely that it will be difficult to breathe, and in severe cases it may be stinky.

Surose, this one may not be known to many people. The lacquer of the lacquer tree can be used as a blackboard and furniture, but the smell and lacquer emitted by the lacquer tree will make people have prickly heat, skin sores and blisters, and serious will kill people, of course, there are a small number of people who have no feeling for this thing, and they can also eat the tender shoots of the lacquer tree in cold salad, and the same is true for animals. Almost no animal dared to pass in front of the sumac tree.

With these three things, even the most powerful animals generally don't dare to come to them, let alone crash into them.

These kinds of things are easy to find, and there are ones nearby, and of course it takes a lot of effort to transplant so many at once, but the most difficult thing to accomplish is not here, but how to plant trees on a rocky mountain!

Addressing this dilemma. They came up with three methods: one was to use dodo droppings and put them on the stones, melt the stones, make a trench, and lay the soil to plant trees, the second was to melt the stones with fossil powder, and the third was to use steel drills to pry the gaps in the stones bigger, and plant small saplings in the cracks, and water them year after year, and one year the trees would grow up and prop up the stones.

The first option seems simple. Go to the place where the dodos are concentrated and find some droppings, stir them with water in a wooden barrel and use them. The point is, where to find so much guano?

The second method may be a bit hanging, because my father has only heard of this fossil powder, and he knows that it is made of several kinds of stones and mashed together, and even my uncle has never heard of it, let alone seen it, and my father has never seen it at all. I don't know where to find sulfur and potassium nitrate, or pyrite.

The production process is easy, if it is made of sulfur and potassium nitrate, just put it in the steamer and steam it again. If you use pyrite, you only need to add fire and burn it repeatedly. In this way, the first method does not work, and the third method is too slow, who knows that those trees in the cracks of the stone will grow for decades, only the second method can be used.

The matter was settled in this way, and then everything was left to the eldest son to arrange, how he arranged, and how everyone did it. The eldest son divided all the people into four groups, his mother, aunt and two cousins were responsible for cooking, laundry, planting vegetables, taking care of pigs, deer, chickens, ducks and other livestock, taking care of babies and delivering food; the third son, the full sister and a cousin were responsible for taking the dog and the little wolf to find saplings and chop firewood for the family in the nearby mountains, and all three of them were not allergic to sumac trees, so they first transplanted the saplings they found into the nearby barren sand, and then transplanted them again after the stone mountains were completed; the eldest son and father were responsible for prospecting and mining; The cousin and the second son were responsible for carrying the found mine back, and at the same time were responsible for cultivating the mine furnace where the ore was piled up.

For the safety of the whole family, the family started to work again.

When everyone first started, Manmei also said that she would no longer invite the uncle and a few of them to help, but the eldest son said that they had been out for more than a year, and there must be a lot of things at home, and the new two families were not familiar with the surroundings, and the family could not leave people for a long time, not to mention that it would not be long before the spring began, and there would be more things at that time.

Manmei listened to her eldest son's mouth and said three reasons, feeling that her brother was in charge of the matter, and she thought about what she said and did well, so she stopped talking, but just pouted, as if she had been wronged.

When the eldest son saw it, he grinned greatly, he knew that although this Manmei had been a mother for a few years, she would still play with children many times.

The matter of cultivating the mine furnace went smoothly, and the address was chosen at the top of the valley, near the water's edge, which was very convenient if they needed water.

There are also many large trees around there, so if you want to use firewood, you can also go in and get it.

My father's group did not work, and they searched the surrounding mountains and valleys without finding a single sign.

In addition to trees and grass, there are mud and stones on the mountain, and the exposed stones are basically diamonds, and there is no ore at all.

In the first few days, the eldest son was still able to hold on and not be in a hurry, but seeing that it was still like this after five or six days, he became a little anxious and didn't know what to do.

The eldest son remembered the uncle on the other side of the mountain, and wanted to ask them if they had seen these things, so he wrote a note and asked the dog and the little wolf to bring it over, and on the third day, the dog brought a reply.

In the letter, the uncle said that they had recently found a few places in the back mountain, where the stones were a bit like the ore they needed, and they were going to let the dog and the little wolf bring a few pieces to try in a few days.

A few days later, the uncle's dog brought a few hard stones and yellow ash blocks. The stone is smooth on all sides, very flat, and there are shiny silk threads on the plane, after trial, it is indeed the pyrite they have been looking for for a long time, and they have also made some sulfuric acid water. And after the ash block is used, it feels a bit like orpiment, so I can only give up.

But I finally tried one, and if there were enough of them, I would be able to use them.

Next, when he was about to clean up according to this idea, the eldest son found a big problem - if the mine was found at the uncle's side, and then transported over the mountains and mountains, the workload alone would be amazing, and I don't know what year and month it would take to complete, even if the mine was directly found and burned at the uncle's side, and the sulfuric acid was directly produced, and then transported back over a mountain, the difficulty was not hours.

In this way, neither of these methods will work, which means that the ore on the uncle's side cannot be used at all, and he can only look for ore near this side, but he can't find it.

So what to do?

Seeing that the days are passing day by day, there is no progress at all in finding ore, not only the eldest son is anxious, but all the people in the family are also anxious, and even the uncle's family is also anxious, but just being anxious will not solve the problem.

There is no need for the eldest son to arrange, the uncle will come over in a few days, and he will help find mines here, and he wants to carefully go through the mountains and mountains that have been checked like a grate, maybe he can find something.

Unable to find the ore, the other group of people had nothing to do, so they all joined the prospecting team.

On this day, they had found the inside of a small ravine above the valley, which they had seen last time, but had not yet penetrated into the woods, and this time they decided to stand in a row and go forward like a net to see if they could find anything.

At noon, my cousin picked up a load of things to bring food to everyone. In the morning, when the eldest son went out, he told her where he was going to find mines today, and after delivering food for so long, she already knew by heart the large and small bays, ravines and big trees in the valley, and she knew it as soon as the eldest son said it.
