Obligations of the elderly

First burn it with an ordinary fire, take it out when the ore is burning red, put it on the stone prepared earlier in the morning, and then forge it with a homemade stone hammer, stretch your muscles, and hit it hard one by one until the impurities fall off little by little , and then continue to put the still red iron ore into the stove to burn, but this time, the stove began to add the kindling carried by the uncle and nephew respectively.

The original large piece of ore gradually became smaller, and finally it was almost beaten. When they were thrown into the nearby river for quenching, what the uncle fished out were two black iron embryos, one was knife-shaped, and the other was a hammer. The shape is already very good, and the next step is to polish it. Seeing that the uncle was already walking back with the iron embryo, Gongsi also fished out his own iron embryo with great anticipation. The iron embryo he fished out There is only one piece, um... because the quality and quantity of ore are different from Uncle's, the material here in the palace is only enough to make a knife for the time being, so that's fine, but why is the iron embryo he fished out so golden?Completely different from the unpretentious black iron embryos at the uncle's side, the iron embryos at the palace shone as dazzling and gorgeous as gold under the firelight...

"It's Wujin, it's a rare mineral." The uncle came over and took the iron from the stunned nephew...it must be called Wujin embryo, looked at it, and then put the Wujin embryo back into the nephew's hand: "Bi The hardness of the iron embryo is not good, but it is not bad. The additional function is that it can test poison. For a long time, the dignitaries of all continents like the daggers and videos made by Wujin. Firstly, the luxury is in line with their status, and secondly, they can conduct simple toxin tests. .”

"Did you find the second-best black gold mine instead of iron ore? The adaptability is good." The uncle praised.

Then I heard Gong Si falter and say: "It's not that I didn't find iron ore, so I found black gold ore instead."

"It was a mistake..."

Gongsi said weakly.

After finishing speaking, he narrated his process of searching for the ore. When he said that he found the black gold mine based on the iron thread grass, the uncle followed him to the place where he found the ore before. It was already dark. The uncle took a closer look at the surrounding area with the light of the flashlight, then squatted on the ground and carefully studied these plants that looked very much like ironwort, and finally came to a conclusion:

"This really isn't a wire weed."

"Although they look very similar and taste similar, if you taste it carefully, you will find that the tip of your tongue will be slightly numb when you eat this kind of grass. Iron thread grass does not have this characteristic."

As the uncle said, he also pulled up a fake iron wire grass. When he saw its root system, he nodded: "The roots are different. The roots of iron wire grass are diffuse roots. The root system is very developed and there is no tap root. , are very thin fibrous roots, but the root of this plant has only one tap root, which looks like a carrot."

"This is a new plant. If you can prove its distribution relationship with Wujin later, Si, you have found a new mineral plant!"

The uncle was very happy with what he said, but Gong Si was a little guilty: In the final analysis, he still made a mistake, the first time he used the test he had learned in three years, he failed in the end.

"Don't worry too much. Failure is the mother of success. Many discoveries are made by accident. If you knew from the beginning that this kind of grass is not iron wire grass, you would not dig the ore under here. I won’t find the black gold mine here.” The uncle patted him on the shoulder: “This small piece of black gold mine seems to be nothing, but the real significance is the relationship between this plant and the black gold mine. If you By being able to prove that the relationship between them does exist, you are doing your part for blacksmiths all over the world."

Hearing what the uncle said, Gong Si's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at the small plants under his feet again, and suddenly felt that it was nothing.

Now that it’s all over, he simply dug more ore from here to go back. Anyway, the hardness of the black gold ore is quite good, so he simply uses them to make more things.

When they went back this time, the stream finally came back, and they were squatting by the river to dissect fish!

The clothes on his body were obviously different from what he wore when he went out in the afternoon. He changed into a pair of trousers, and his back was bare. He simply washed the original coat and propped it up on two branches next to the oven, where it was baking. .

Gong Si and the uncle walked towards him and looked at the fruits of his labor: three palm-sized fish ← this is also the fish he was dealing with; up.

"That's all?" Gong Si was a little bit taken aback when he saw the results of the pitifully few streams.

"Well..." Scratching her hair, Xiliu was rarely embarrassed.

On the contrary, the uncle looked over a few fish carefully, and then turned over the pile of shells, and nodded after a while: "It seems that Xiliu is doing well in school."

"There seem to be a lot of fish and aquatic products in this section of the river, but these two are the only ones that are not poisonous. This kind of fish and this kind of shells are species that are not found in the outside world. They look very similar to other types of fish and shells in it. They can No mistakes at all, classmate Xiliu is really amazing."

Seeing Gong Si looking at himself, there was a hint of admiration, Xi Liu waved his hands, and said with a smile: "I am ashamed, this fish is indeed an edible fish that I have identified by myself, the shell is not my credit, it is luck. "

He said, pointing to the little black bird next to him: "One by one, it picked them all out."

"Of course, I paid." Xiliu whispered.

The eyes of the three fell on the little black bird pointed by the stream, and they saw that it was happily walking up and down in front of Elizabeth with a coin in its mouth. They didn't know whether it was showing off or what. Not too embarrassing, Elizabeth stretched her neck suddenly, and took the coin out of her mouth in one bite.

After taking it away, Elizabeth yelled at Lucky twice in demonstration. Although Lucky was very big, she didn't dare to resist at all. She yelled twice, and finally Lucky returned to her cage in disgrace. Elizabeth quickly Flying from her own cage to its cage, she sat down on top of Lucky's head, and she even yelled twice proudly.

"Don't worry, Lucky has already eaten a lot of shells and two coins, so I'm already full." Xiliu said softly.

Gongsi is relieved now.

Humans have human rules, and birds have bird rules. They can give luck a job, but they can't let lucky fellows accept it. What happens in the future depends on luck itself.

This night, they ate grilled fish and shells. Although the craftsmanship of the stream was a bit poor, these two ingredients were really delicious.

The big head was also full, and he followed the stream to catch fish in the river for a long time, but the big head had a great time eating it. Compared with the small fish caught in the stream, the big head obviously prefers those bigger and fatter fish. I am happy to share the big fish I caught with everyone, but this kindness was declined → there is no way, those fish are all poisonous, and no one else can eat them except the big-headed master.

"This is classmate Xiliu's homework. His job along the way is to catch fish for us to eat. Please let him finish his work." The uncle also deliberately told Datou the reason, nodded, and Datou said he understood. From then on After that, instead of helping the stream to fish, it also supervised the stream fishing every day. Of course, this is a later story.

They stayed in this place for two days and two nights, spent a day and a half making basic knives, axes and hammers, and spent half a day cutting down trees to make a raft. In the early morning of the third day, they finally sat on the raft. The current of the river is very suitable for taking a raft, you only need to use the water slurry to control the direction, and they don't need to paddle at all, they will go down the water smoothly!

This is probably the power of the tool, right?Although it is very troublesome to make tools, because there is nothing, they need to make everything from scratch, but once the tools are made, they will get twice the result with half the effort. Rushing forward from the river, they gradually came to an inaccessible area.

And the journey relying on the river came to an end. The originally wide water became narrower and narrower. Before their raft was about to run aground, they bid farewell to this hand-made raft that had been sitting on it for a long time and had been very affectionate. Legs travel.

"We are here now." When the stream was cooking, the uncle pointed to the map and said to the palace.

Looking at the map, Gong Si noticed that they were far away from the earliest "novice village", but on the entire map, the places they didn't pass were obviously wider.

"Where is this place?" Gong Si asked.

"If the place where we started was Novice Village, we have just entered the realm of mid-level players." Coincidentally, the uncle also used the saying that Gong Si had been secretly screaming in his heart.

"Intermediate player?" Gong Si was stunned.

"Those places have basically been figured out before. What kind of minerals are there, and even the mine belongs to those people. These have already been allocated, which is meaningless. From here on, unknown lands occupy a greater proportion. , the danger is higher, and ordinary ability users generally don’t come here, this is a place for higher-level ability users to seek gold.” The uncle said, and drew a long line on the map: “As for this side, it’s the advanced district."

"I have explored here at most. The high-level area is a place where users of the rulers and above will bring their own weapons. I have never been there." Immediately afterwards, the uncle made another stroke with his hand, just in The high-level area is a little bit to the right, which belongs to the boundary of the middle-level area.

After finishing speaking, the uncle looked at Gongsi: "Look at your progress, if possible, I can use your light to go one step further to the high-level area this time."

Strange to say, the uncle just glanced at Gong Si with his long and slender black eyes, it was just a very simple glance, at most he stayed on Gong Si's face for a second longer than usual, but Gong Si was like It was the first time in my life that I had enough chicken blood!For the first time, he saw an opportunity for him to help his uncle!

Absolutely not to be missed—Gong Si clenched his fists at that time, and promised his uncle very nervously and seriously: "Uncle, I will definitely study hard, please tell me, what am I going to do next?"

As if waiting for Gongsi to ask this question, the uncle immediately clicked a coordinate on the map: "Go here, set up a stall, and sell things."
