Su Zhiwei didn't delay any longer, and even assigned tasks to the orcs.

Mining, transportation, and the construction of steelmaking equipment alone have gone for most of it.

The main raw materials for steelmaking are iron ore and coke.

Now that iron ore is available, and coke is obtained from the dry distillation of coal at high temperatures, the good thing is that the Black Mountain tribe has a huge coal mine, and the remaining small part of the orcs is used to make coke and other auxiliary materials for steelmaking.

After some distribution, there was not a single one of the two hundred orcs left.

Su Zhiwei is not in a hurry, he is greedy and chews more, now that these things can be completed, it is enough for him to laugh.

The orcs quickly and orderly worked according to Su Zhiwei's instructions.

After a few days of busyness, the orcs gradually got on the right track, and Su Zhiwei had the time to rest.

Thinking of the red sandalwood he brought back last time, he found tools and took advantage of the few free time to carve and polish them in the stone house.

……

Cave.

On the stone wall, which is not smooth and flat, the black scratches left by the charcoal leave dozens of small circles.

Lin Shanyue held a small thumb-thick blackened wooden stick in his hand, and next to these circles, he drew a small circle.

"Thirty-eight, thirty-nine, forty...... It's been forty days......"

Counting the marks she made, Lin Shanyue was a little worried.

It stands to reason that the news from the Terrans should have been received in a month, and even if they didn't come back so soon, the orcs should have come back first to deliver the news.

How could there be no news for so long......

Could it be that something happened?

As soon as this idea came out, it was quickly dispelled.

"Orcs are so powerful, what accidents can happen in the territory of the human race, the men, women and children of the human race combined can't beat the orcs." Lin Shanyue muttered to herself, her heart relaxed slightly.

She hoped that they would come back soon, worried that something would happen to them on the road, and hoped that she would not come back so soon, so that she could stay here for one more day and enjoy a little more tranquility here.

Even though she knew she shouldn't have that kind of thought.

"Yamazuki."

Su Zhiwei's voice pulled Lin Shanyue's thoughts back.

"Why are you here?" Lin Shanyue subconsciously wiped the black carbon stains on her hands and went out.

Su Zhiwei's gaze swept over the stone wall behind her.

Lin Shanyue cares about the tribe and the tribe, this is not a secret in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, the orcs who came to bring her food can see an extra circle on the stone wall every day, and the corresponding number is just the number of days Niu Li has gone to the human race.

"I'm here for your help."

Su Zhiwei retracted his gaze, a faint smile appeared on his face, but he didn't notice what she looked like just now.

Hearing the word help, Lin Shanyue was quickly diverted.

She thought of Su Zhiwei's "please" to herself before, and the expression on her face suddenly became a little complicated.

"I—How can I help you ......?"

"Just stand still."

Su Zhiwei came behind her, holding the long hair in his hand with his big palm, and with the other hand, he took out the red sandalwood hairpin that had been prepared long ago and wrapped it with the long hair, and his skillful movements seemed to have been practiced thousands of times in his heart.

Because in the cave, Lin Shanyue did not wrap her hair in animal skin.

After a while, the long hair was coiled up in Su Zhiwei's hands.

Carefully adjusted the angle of the wooden hairpin, and stroked the fine ends of the hair.

Feeling Su Zhiwei's movements, Lin Shanyue's body stiffened slightly, and the tip of her nose seemed to be able to smell the faint woody fragrance coming from him when he approached, which made her hands in front of her clench unnaturally.

He...... He and Ah Tang are not brother and sister, so why should he admit it?

Why do you want to try things by yourself, obviously he can give them directly to Ah Tang.

Thinking wildly in her head, Su Zhiwei had already stepped aside and distanced herself from her, and her warm gaze would not make her feel uncomfortable at all.

"Okay, you try it, see if the hair will fall out, it's inconvenient to use it."

Su Zhiwei's voice brought Lin Shanyue back to her senses.

She raised her hand and touched her hair, and found that there was a smooth, slender wood on it, and I don't know how to do it, but it made her hair tightly coiled, which was cool, and did not feel tight on the scalp, which was very comfortable.

"What is this? How do you do it? Lin Shanyue's mind fell on this piece of wood, and asked curiously.

She really couldn't imagine how a straight piece of wood could "wrap up" her soft hair.

It's amazing, too!

"This is a wooden hairpin, which I polished out of wood." Su Zhiwei explained.

"Wooden hairpins? This name is so nice......" Lin Shanyue muttered, even the name was as beautiful as here.

"This wooden hairpin is very useful, Ah Tang she will definitely like it."

Lin Shanyue gave a great affirmation, and reached out to take off the wooden hairpin.

As soon as the hand was raised, the wrist was grasped by a large one.

"You don't need to take it, I'll give this to you, just as a thank you for helping me." Su Zhiwei's tone was relaxed, "In terms of making this thing, the material used is also the most common wood, which is not precious." ”

Lin Shanyue was stunned, but she carefully noticed that the hand that grabbed her wrist had thick calluses on her fingertips.

Some of the thorns are obviously formed when the cocoon has been punctured by something.

She didn't believe it was easier to do!

Moreover, the smell of this wood was obviously different from ordinary wood, and she felt that this wood should be a very precious and rare species.

Looking at Su Zhiwei's pretending to be relaxed, Lin Shanyue suddenly had a thought in her heart.

He...... deliberately misunderstood herself, and asked her to try things, could it be just to find an excuse to give things to yourself?

There are also those strange things sent during the snow season, she later went to ask the orcs of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, many orcs don't know what it is, only the orcs who come to deliver the house will use it.

Could it be that those things were also sent by the orcs by him!

"Thank you, then I'll take it."

Looking at the smile in Lin Shanyue's eyes, Su Zhiwei felt a little inexplicable and touched the tip of his nose.

I used to look at myself with that strange expression mixed with pity, why is I smiling strangely today......

Did he miss something he didn't know?

"Subtlety."

Lin Shanyue suddenly turned around and faced Su Zhiwei, her bright and clear eyes flashing with a rippling luster.

"I already know about you."

"What's the matter?" Su Zhiwei looked at her suspiciously.

Lin Shanyue lowered her head and chuckled, and said, "I know you and Ah Tang ......."

Before the words fell, an anxious voice suddenly came from outside.

"Shanyue, you are not here, the king summoned you over!"

Lin Shanyue's words were interrupted, and the two of them were also attracted by the orc's words.

She hurried to the entrance of the cave, looked at the orcs outside, and asked, "What is the matter with the king calling me?" ”

"Yes, it's the orcs who went to the human race with Niu Li are back, but...... But ......"

"But what? What the hell is going on? Seeing that the orcs were hesitant, Su Zhi, who had always been steady, frowned slightly anxiously and asked.

"Niu Li, they didn't come back, only one orc came back, there should be an accident on the human side."

Hearing this, Lin Shanyue only felt that her body was shaking, and she was almost unstable.

A big hand held her back, feeling the force coming from her back, Lin Shanyue quickly came back to her senses, and what she wanted to say just now was instantly overwhelmed by the worry that came like a tide.
