Chapter 19 Iron Ore, Horses

"This one I picked up on a stone mountain when I came back last year, and it was all over the place, and I looked pretty good, so I brought it back." Huimu explained.

"Where is this place?" Su Yu asked.

"Not far from the tribe's side, where we often pass by, there is a small hill, and the mountain is full of stones, and there are not many grasses." Huimu recalled the route in his head.

"Then you can take us to see it now." Su Yu was very excited, this is iron ore, with the iron ore tribe will soon be able to start making iron, and the transformation from stone tools to iron tools is a qualitative leap. Su Yu also didn't expect that there was news of iron ore as soon as he obtained the smelting technology, which was a one-step process.

"But, Patriarch, it's too late now, and it's getting dark when you get there." Huimu glanced at the sun in the sky, and the sun was about to set on the edge of the sky. Although it was not far from the tribe, it still took about half a morning to walk.

Su Yu also glanced at the sun that was about to set, and could only hold back the thoughts in his heart and go again tomorrow.

At night, bonfires are lit.

Today, because of the fighting, they did not go hunting. So only a few sheep could be slaughtered for dinner.

"Roast whole lamb."

Su Yu watched as they cleaned the whole sheep of its fur and guts and roasted it on the fire.

The surface of the lamb is grilled by flames, the fat is grilled, and the charred skin and the aroma of the meat are appetizing.

"Patriarch, this first leg is yours." Huimu handed over a golden leg of lamb, which was very appetizing when he looked at it.

Then he handed the next leg of lamb to the venerable old man, and then the others began to move.

Compared with the rules and regulations on this side, Su Yun and Su Xun on the other side have already begun to feast.

Su Yu was a little embarrassed, and there was harm if there was a comparison. Su Yu didn't feel anything before, it was good to be casual, but now, Su Yu just wants to cover his face.

"Ahem, don't make that much noise." Su Yu couldn't help but remind.

"Ah, patriarch, this is delicious!" Su Yun was talking while eating meat.

"Eat quietly if it's delicious, don't make such a big move."

Now Su Yu finally knows why Sven, this occasion.

These people who have just joined the greedy wolf tribe are very dull, probably not yet recovering from the change of identity.

"Patriarch, this is a good thing unique to our tribe."

Huimu took out a stone bowl with something like green paste.

"This is ......" Su Yu seemed to have seen it somewhere.

"Patriarch, it tastes good to dip in when eating meat." Hui Mu handed the bowl to Su Yu.

"Dip?" Su Yu remembered something, the unique sauce on the grassland, wild leek sauce.

Su Yu has seen it on the documentary, but he has not eaten it.

Su Yu tried it, it had a very peculiar taste, with a spicy taste, and the meat in his mouth suddenly became particularly delicious.

This made him very excited, and after eating the original and salt flavors for an unknown amount of time, his taste was about to deteriorate, and he can still experience the spicy taste.

After a full meal, Su Yu rested in the camp of the original patriarch of the greedy wolf tribe. The camp tent was very large, and Su Yu asked Su Yun and Su Xun to rest in the camp tent together to protect themselves by the way. When you are away from home, you have to be cautious.

In the morning, even the steppe tribes did not have breakfast.

Su Yu asked Huimu to take his group to the place where he picked up the iron ore early in the morning.

Each person carried a basket on their back, which had been emptied and was used exclusively for iron ore.

Huimu saw the back basket and was curious about this tool that could hold things. Although he was a well-informed person among his clansmen, seeing this basket and the weapons in their hands, Hui Mu only felt that his knowledge was still too little.

The speed of the journey was very fast, and Su Yu originally thought that it would be far, but he didn't expect it to arrive in an hour.

The three or four hours that Huimu said should be the speed of driving the sheep.

Approaching the hill, Su Yu received a prompt from the system.

"Congratulations on discovering hematite, where the people of the people can earn 1 Industry Point every day."

Su Yu saw iron ore everywhere and hurriedly let people mine it.

All morning, all the baskets were filled. It is better to say that it is mining, than to pick up. Because this iron mine is open-pit and can be found everywhere, it is especially easy to mine.

The wind at the top of the mountain is very strong, and the autumn wind is bitter, and the coolness is refreshing.

The iron ore in these baskets was brought back to the greedy wolf camp, and the location of the greedy wolf camp was still quite far from the tribal camp, and it was not easy to move it back with manpower.

After all, the weight of a basket of iron ore is not light, and Su Yu's body is not bad, but with iron ore on his back, it is a little laborious to walk.

Su Yu took a look at the resources in the greedy wolf tribe to see if there was anything that could be used.

Walk to a fence where sheep are inside. There was also a fence on the other side with cows, not cows with black and white patterns, but cows with yellow and black hair.

Su Yu's eyes lit up and he thought of a way. Oxen can be used to transport iron ore, which can save time and effort, after all, oxen power is more than manpower.

After having iron in the back, it was possible to make wheels, and a board cart could be directly built and transported by oxen or horse-drawn carts.

There were more than fifty cows in the camp of the greedy wolf, and in addition to the calves and the old cows, there were forty cattle in the prime of life that could be used.

However, the speed of cattle transportation is a bit slow, and at the normal speed, it will take at least a day to transport it. So Su Yu could only wait until tomorrow to return.

Su Yu didn't want to spend the night on the grassland, but that night left a deep impression on him.

This era is different from modern times, and beasts of prey are very common.

"Huimu, do you really want to catch a horse?" Su Yu saw Huimu and remembered his talent.

"Yes, I wanted to catch horses when I was a kid." Huimu nodded, "Grandpa said that the old patriarch had a horse back then. The horse was saved by the old patriarch, and he followed the old patriarch all the way. Grandpa said that the old patriarch was majestic when he rode a horse. ”

Huimu smiled and talked about his childhood.

He was now sixteen years old, tall and tall, but his face still had a little youthful greenness.

"I have a way to catch the horse, you come with me."

Su Yu took him to make tripwire and lasso.

The production and use of these two tools are not too difficult, only a rope is needed, and the lasso is even simpler for Su Yu now, after all, he has practiced the slinging rope for a long time, and the lasso is lost.

However, it is easy to catch a horse and difficult to train a horse, Su Yu wants to be tamed, not to be caught.

……

Huimu took Su Yu and his party to the shore of the Great Lake, which is a rare wetland with abundant water and grass on the grassland.

From afar, Su Yu could see that there were many animals inhabiting here, including wild horses.

The horses take a leisurely stroll near the lake, occasionally eating two bites of wild rice ears on the ground.

Su Yu's eyes were on fire, it was really a waste of time.

"No, we need to get them arrested." Su Yu saw that they were specifically looking for rice to eat, and he ate one bite and spit out two bites, which really made him unbearable.
