Chapter 48: Bringing It to the Pit (Part I)

"Touch a few pieces and take them away!" Sheeptooth urged in a low voice, she had secretly remembered the appearance of several bronze utensils.

"Loaded, let's go!" Hei Tao hugged the full bag of animal skins to his chest, patted the back of the sheep's teeth and said.

In the darkness of the night, two figures rushed out of the house one after the other, walked through the room with the help of the starlight, and finally stopped in front of a room and knocked on the wooden door according to the agreed code.

A human head poked out of the room, and after looking left and right to find that no one was following, he quickly let the two in.

"Sheep's teeth, how's it going, did you get it?" In the dark room, a man asked.

"I got it, it's all in that animal skin bag of black pottery, don't make a noise during the day!" Sheep's teeth looked around the clansmen, but they couldn't see anything in the room, and could only rely on the sound of breathing to determine the location of the clansmen.

"And the smelting furnace, which is similar to the furnace for firing pottery, but it is divided into two layers, and we will ...... it when we go back."

Sheeptooth had planned her plans for the future after she had bronze, and she now seemed to have taken the tribes of the lower reaches of the Tao River into her pocket.

However, unbeknownst to her, a pair of eyes witnessed the whole process of her and the black pottery theft.

Yu hurriedly ran to the room where Gu Guo was sleeping, and there were still pigskin and Hua and others in the room, who had been waiting here for a long time.

"You said those two went into that room?" Gu Guo asked, but the answer was already clear to him.

"I'll just say that the tribe is not well-intentioned!" Birch said indignantly on the side.

"Goo, what are we going to do next?" Pigskin clenched the bronze spear in his hand, looking like he was about to dry up.

A pair of eyes around him were staring at Gu Guo, and only a faint reflection of the whites of his eyes could be seen in the darkness.

"We don't care about anything." Glancing at the surprised pigskin, Gu Guo chuckled, and then said, "The ore piled up in that room has long been dropped by the pear blossoms. They burned a pile of useless stones and got nothing. ”

It's better to give the tribe of sheep's teeth a wrong answer, just like Big Brother Woolly Bear did to rabbits back then.

The two piles of ore weighing several tons had been burned by the Pear Blossoms more than a month ago, and now the piles in the house were sandstone granite and other petrified stones that had been exchanged with other tribes a few months ago.

It is a little difficult to use the loss of a few stones as a reason to start the war, and the stones taken by the sheep's teeth can be seen everywhere, and the eyewitness is only Yu, what if people from other tribes don't believe it at that time? So it's better to let it go and let them go all the way down the wrong path.

Now that Gu Guo has built the city wall, he is not afraid even if he is surrounded by an army of several hundred people, but it is not enough to go out on his own. The tribe of sheep's teeth is not like James's tribe, there are only about twenty young people.

The tribe that has the ability to make fake pottery money and more than ten people can play without production needs one or two hundred people as a backing to support them to come out and wave.

Don't look at the fact that Gu Guo is now superior in numbers, but one expedition is a month (bring in a 14-day journey), and there are only more than 40 people who have trained him, in the face of one or two hundred human beings who share the same hatred, it is impossible to absolutely win, and even if he wins, his side will suffer heavy casualties.

Moreover, the placement of personnel after the victory is also a big problem, killing the relatives of the Yangya tribe, the two clans are immortal blood feuds, and there are only two options left: killing and enslaving.

It is impossible to kill them all, the division is nameless, and the Yangya tribe does not have a blood feud with these tribes like James. Steal something, use fake money and don't start an army and wipe it out.

As for slavery, Gu Guo's current food output is not enough to support the extra one or two hundred people, and manpower is also needed to manage slaves.

Gu Guo's primary goal was to divide the surrounding tribes into pieces, and he had calculated that the total population of the tribes gathered last time was more than 1,000 and fifteen, plus more than 300 people on his side, nearly 2,000 people were able to continuously develop Bronze Age technology with the addition of cultivation and breeding.

At that time, an army with hundreds of men and well-equipped bronze weapons will be invincible in the Tao River valley.

With the experience of being attacked by two wolves last time, Gu Guo couldn't fight an unprepared battle, and he didn't know anything about the tribe of sheep's teeth now.

"San, you are the smartest in our group, if they don't do stupid things, choose a time to mix in with that group of people and find out the information of the Tang tribe."

Gu Guo said to Sang, who had been sitting in the corner of the room.

Sang nodded, it was a promise, and the changes in the Gu tribe in the past few months made her extremely glad for her original choice.

"Tomorrow morning, we'll act as if nothing happened, and when they come up with the fake pottery money, we'll have another seizure, understand?"

"Got it!" Pigskin and Yu and the others replied in unison.

The next morning, the crowing of a pheasant pulled everyone out of their sleep, and the people who got up to tidy up their stalls saw the shadow of the sundial in the middle of 5 and 6, and they knew at once the time of day, having learned a little about counting.

Green smoke began to rise from the chimneys of one room after another, and at one time in more than 30 rooms, a group of people were busy preparing the day's food.

The house where Yangya and the others lived had not yet had time to build a kang, and at this time there was only a lone stove, and a small bronze pot was buried in the middle of the stove, which should be the most luxurious kitchen configuration in this era.

The night before, due to the late sleeping from the inn to the house, the dim environment and the fact that there was a lid on the pot, Yangya and the others only now found that the tribe of Gu Guo was cooking and eating bronze!

Gu Guo knew that the copper-tin bronze smelted by the soil method contained trace amounts of lead, and long-term use of bronze for cooking would cause lead poisoning. But for the current tribe of Gu Guo, it is a good transitional product, and the appearance of the iron pot needs to be a little later.

Sheep Tooth stirred the hot water in the copper pot with a wooden stick, and the heat conductivity of bronze was much better than that of pottery, and within a few minutes, the water in the pot began to bubble.

"Bronzes boil water much faster than clay pots!" Hei Tao was surprised to say that his mother had chosen her son's name as Hei Tao because she had made black pottery.

There were many, many pieces of pottery that had been kneaded by the black pottery, and he knew very well that it would take at least three times as long to boil water with the pottery.

With a twinkle in her eyes, she glanced at the stone she had hidden in the corner, her heart was extremely hot, her tribe would also have bronze!

After eating their respective foods, Sheeptooth led his people to the unfinished stall yesterday and covered the hay roof.

Gu Guo had already set up a small stool dozens of meters away, gnawing on the leg bones of the wild boar with meat, while staring at the every move of Yangya and the others.
