Chapter 48 Obtaining Iron Ore and Yatake
Ling Xiao sighed: "This place is too close to that cave, and the terrain is steep, no matter whether those lizards will come out or not, if there is a flood, they will not be able to hide!"

"What a great place..." Lin Xian'er sighed regretfully, "What a pity!"

"what?!"

Ling Xiao suddenly gasped in surprise, and quickly squatted down to scrape away the pebbles and sand, and then dug out a stone.

After taking it into the water and washing it, the brown mottled blue-black stone appeared in front of his eyes, and he couldn't close his mouth with a smile.

"Xian'er, iron ore, this is iron ore!"

Lin Xian'er let out an ah, and said in surprise, "Is this iron ore?"

Then he was stunned and asked him: "Brother-in-law, do you know how to smelt iron?!"

Ling Xiao said proudly: "It is necessary. When I was young, there was a blacksmith in the village who made farm tools for everyone. I had a good life as a child. I often went to help him to eat bacon..."

Speaking of this, he didn't know what came to his mind, and he sighed softly: "It's a pity that he was so happy the day he received the notice from the town to go to work in the steel factory. He drank too much and fell to his death."

Lin Xian'er came over and patted him on the head to comfort him: "Brother-in-law, it's a blessing in disguise. I often do that kind of work, and when I get older, I might get cervical spondylosis or something. Life is better than death, so happy It’s not a bad thing to leave.”

Ling Xiao was delighted when he heard it, and said with a smile: "That's right, that uncle has a straight temper, and he might feel uncomfortable after work..."

As he said that, he wiped the back of his head in embarrassment, so he changed the subject: "There should be materials I want by the river, let's go and have a look."

"Ok!"

After Ling Xiao carefully knocked off a thin piece of obsidian, and looked at the sky, and saw no sign of the big red bird, the two walked up the river bed.

Not long after walking, Ling Xiao pointed at the green vegetation in front of him and said with a smile: "I found it! Haha, I'm really lucky today!"

When I got closer, I found that it was bamboo, but it was generally not high, and the tallest was only more than two meters.

Lin Xian'er was surprised and said, "I seem to have seen it before... By the way, it's in the park!"

Ling Xiao smiled and said: "In ancient times, this kind of bamboo was specially used to make arrow shafts, so it was called arrow bamboo."

Then he started cutting bamboo.

As expected of obsidian, obsidian was extremely sharp, and within a short while, he cut a large bundle.

After cutting off the joints and tips with a long and slender stone, Ling Xiao went into the bamboo forest and picked six or seven of the tallest bamboos to start with.

Seeing that his tips were long, Lin Xian'er was puzzled and said, "Brother-in-law, are there any other uses for these?"

Ling Xiao said, "It's a fishing rod!"

Lin Xian'er's eyes lit up, she pointed to the one with the best looks and said, "This is mine!"

"Go, go, go..."

Ling Xiao was talking, but suddenly stopped, narrowed his eyes, and looked at the river bed upstream.

Lin Xian'er looked curiously, but found nothing, but Ling Xiao murmured: "A bear is coming this way, let's go!"

Lin Xian'er nodded, but after turning her head several times on the way back, she still couldn't help asking, "Why can't I see?"

Ling Xiao smiled and said, "It's still a long way from here, your eyesight is not as good as mine, so of course you can't see it."

Seeing him laughing, Lin Xian'er was no longer nervous, and said irritably, "It's all because of the phone! Eh?!"

She suddenly exclaimed: "I thought I couldn't live without a mobile phone. Why have you been doing well these few days, as if you have never been addicted to mobile phones?"

Ling Xiao said: "It's the same as quitting smoking with me. I failed several times to quit smoking, but I succeeded after walking in the primitive African jungle! Tsk tsk tsk, the sense of smell is really good, not like before , Cooked meat is far away, and you can’t smell it.”

"So brother-in-law, have you ever smoked?"

"Brother-in-law, I was a smoker back then, two packs a day as a base!"

"I'm rough...an animal!"

"Oh, it was all brought down by the adults in the village. The grandpa who adopted me was not allowed to smoke, but they were like donkeys, trying to smoke me behind my back. I don't know if those guys have cancer or not, hahaha... ..."

After talking and laughing for a while, the two returned to the starting point.

Seeing the two foxes biting the fish and competing with the branches, Lin Xian'er exclaimed, "It's so cute", and suddenly worried that Ling Xiao would throw the spear out, but when she looked back, she was stunned, and Ling Xiao actually smiled Watch, not angry.

The two foxes were not afraid of people, so they finally tore off the two fish. After looking at them, they went into the woods with the fish in their mouths.

Lin Xian'er wondered, "Brother-in-law, aren't you a hunter? Why aren't you angry?"

Ling Xiao smiled and said: "There are so many fish, it's okay to divide them. When I was in Africa, there was another severe drought. There was only a small amount of water the size of a fish pond for hundreds of miles. Whether it was humans, wild boars or deer Oh lions, cheetahs...all went there, shared! And..."

As he spoke, he continued to walk forward, looked at the direction of Lin Zi and said with a smile: "The female fox is pregnant, and she will give birth in half a month!"

Lin Xian'er looked at his childlike innocent side face, and was stupefied for a moment. She stood there for a while before regaining her senses, lowered her head and gritted her teeth, and walked towards him.

After putting on the beach pants, Ling Xiao first spread out the bamboo poles, wrapped crabs, big lobsters, iron ore and obsidian inside, and tied them with bark to make a big bundle.

Wait until the branch with the fish on the string is 'stringed' to make a bow and carry it on the back;
I don't know if the bear will come here, so I dropped a few fish;
Finally, he walked with the bamboo wrapped in stones.

Lin Xian'er helped him carry a spear and a few long pillars, and also had to carry a flowered shirt with eggs wrapped in it.

When the two finally reached the top of the mountain, Ling Xiao chose a place with a wide view, then stopped to rest and used bark and bamboo to make a suggested backpack.

Due to the rush of time, it is naturally impossible to do a good job. The bamboo pole is like four bamboo rafts put together, and the bottom and top are wrapped with bark.

Seeing him profusely sweating, Lin Xian'er said distressedly: "Brother-in-law, why don't you bring me the fish?"

Ling Xiao smiled and said: "It's okay, brother-in-law is fine! By the way, if you are in danger, don't worry about anything, run in the direction I said, and don't look back!"

As he spoke, he picked up his things and took his spear from her hand.

Lin Xian'er's heart almost melted, and she couldn't help telling: "If you encounter danger, you must throw away the things, you can't be reluctant!"

Ling Xiao touched her head in relief and said, "Don't worry, brother-in-law knows how to measure."

The two continued to move forward, both extremely nervous.

Lin Xian'er was worried about the bear chasing from behind, and Ling Xiao was worried about the big cat blocking the way.

They all know that food is not only food, but also a kind of temptation. There must be many beasts like the fox couple. The only question is whether they have discovered it and dared to act.

Half an hour later, Ling Xiao let out a long sigh of relief, and once again lamented in his heart how lucky he was.

Because, the bright sandy beach has come into view!
