Fang Zheng asked Lian Feng about finding weapons again.

"Even if you have strong bones, can you really take that weapon back?" Fang Zheng was very skeptical, but he didn't forget that his hands were shaking when the wind was holding the bowl.Can he really lift Dayi's bow and arrow?Even if this guy is a tortoise with an iron shell, he can't ask people to bite.

Lian Feng smiled wryly and shook his head: "Since they sent me to leave immediately, there must be other considerations. I don't expect to find it soon, but if I don't leave, I will die faster."

In the past, Zu Jiang's minions would not be enough for Zifeng to fight.

However, today is not what it used to be. He has no other choice but to follow the path arranged by Zu Jiang's eldest daughter-in-law.

He could only adapt to the situation, pretending to carry out the task, while thinking about his next plan.But it can only be planned in the mind, and there is no action to kill the tail.

If the body does not recover for a day, it is a weak person that everyone can bully.

It wasn't until he became such a "weak person" that he realized how terrible what he did back then.

"You must stay here now." Fang Zheng blocked his thought of going out without hesitation.

"It doesn't matter, they were arrested anyway." Lian Feng breathed a sigh of relief, "I'll just stay here—"

Before Fang Zheng could tease him, he asked, "How many women are you going to marry?", Lian Feng was almost choked——

"—Stay here, with Brother Zheng and you."

Fang Zheng thought of what happened in the hot spring, and looked at Lian Feng suspiciously for a moment, with a half-smile: "Are you serious?"

"What really?" Lian Feng looked at him without flinching.

Fang Zheng was discouraged when he thought of Lian Feng's iron bones, and waved his hands, "Forget it...women and men can't stand it, your body is too..."

Too many words.

"Enjoy it?" Lian Feng didn't understand the word for a while, and when he thought of Fang Zheng giving him a "health check" that day, his face blushed suddenly, and he thought secretly, why did he...

Fang Zheng didn't blush at all, and even commented on his special "body structure" without any psychological burden.

"Although you haven't cut off your children and grandchildren, it's not far away. You're like...a woman can't sit down..."

Even Feng's face was red, and even if primitive people had limited sense of shame, it didn't mean that this level could be easily accepted.

"Brother Zheng, stop talking."

Fang Zheng ignored him, and said to himself: "If it's a man...you have those iron bumps on your legs...you can't get in. You say you..."

Lian Feng really couldn't bear to listen, and whispered: "Don't talk about it, it doesn't matter."

Fang Zheng looked at him in surprise: "It doesn't matter? Do you primitive people have other ways to live..."

Lian Feng's eyes flashed in astonishment, and Fang Zheng also knew that he had slipped his words.There were two obvious words in the words just now:

One is "you".

The other is "primitives".

These two words were superimposed, and the information pointed to made Lian Feng's brain tense—he didn't immediately understand what "primitive people" meant, but he could hear the sense of isolation in it—Fang Zheng thought that he was not the same as them Humanoid.

Zifeng once again had an unsolved mystery in his heart: where did Fang Zheng come from?

Fang Zheng's heart was broken, even if he slipped a little bit, even if the wind couldn't get out, he was a sick child, and there was no threat at all.He forced the cheek to change the subject: "Do you know how to make copper?"

"copper?"

"It's red gold." Fang Zheng pointed at Zifeng's bronze sword.

Lian Feng's eyes flashed brightly: "Brother Zheng, it's impossible."

"Why is it impossible?"

——Impossible, the tall and shining furnace took ten years and [-] slaves worked day and night to forge it.Keep burning the fire, and keep sifting out the copper-colored sand grains in the waste residue and throwing them in. It takes half a month to sieve out palm-sized agglomerates.These agglomerates were melted again into a pit the size of a small lake, and the scene where they flowed in was like countless small golden blood vessels flowing into a huge heart.The capital of Yu Yi is like this heart, the slaves, ore and fuel conscripted from all over the country are like the capillaries radiating into the mining pool...

With all the power of the whole country, ten copper blast furnaces were finally cast, which can cast ten weapons at the same time.Each one needs to be smelted for more than [-] days.Throughout the year, even if it stays around day and night, every blast furnace is blazing, and at most a few hundred weapons made of pure gold can be cast.

There are less than 100 people in Yu Qiangying's camp, so everyone can be equipped with red gold.But for the huge number of soldiers defending the capital, and the countless war slaves, it is extremely difficult to obtain such a weapon.

With personal power, it is even more impossible to "manufacture" a copper blast furnace.Hearing Lianfeng's analogy, Fang Zheng feels that the man-made copper furnaces of this era are just like aircraft carriers built by countries in later generations.

"What about Tao? Can it be made?" Fang Zheng continued to ask.

Lian Feng was stunned for a moment, and reacted quickly: "Brother Zheng, you know a lot. Now many people don't know that Tao was passed down by Zu Jiang."

Fang Zheng is purely a blind cat and killed a mouse, but it does not prevent him from immediately thinking of a partially confirmed archaeological hypothesis in later generations——

——East Copper and West Pottery.

In the late Stone Age culture, such as the Daxi culture, the fast wheel/disk technology of pottery appeared.From this point of view, there may be some relationship between Zu Jiang in the West and Yangshao Culture, which is rich in exquisite pottery in archaeology.

Fang Zheng coughed twice and said, "So, how do you usually make pottery?"

Lian Feng shook his head: "Although there are wheels/plates/subs in many places now—"

"Wheel/pan/zi?" Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows.

"It's the kind of wheel that spins quickly. There are many places." Lian Feng said, "But in Zujiang, the most delicate pottery is made by hand. They have a way..."

"The matching method that is not rumored?" Fang Zheng guessed.

Lian Feng hesitated to speak: "Brother Zheng, why do you know everything?"

Fang Zheng ignored his compliments and asked, "Who masters that matching method?"

Lian Feng glanced outside the door: "Brother Zheng, ask those two spies."

In fact, Zifeng knew who had it, but he didn't want to say it now.Why did Fang Zheng make pottery?Most of these utensils are used to hold things, isn't there enough stone utensils in Fang Zheng's room?

Moreover, Fang Zheng asked about pottery immediately after asking about copper making. Although Yu Yi also has these two crafts, pottery and copper are still not the same.Tao can't be made into a weapon, why Fang Zheng...

Fang Zheng followed Lian Feng's suggestion, and went to interrogate Gou'er and Cha'er again, asking them about making pottery.

Fang Zheng half guessed: "Except for your lord, the one who knows how to knead pottery with bare hands is your adults who are in charge of the ceremony."

Cha'er's eyes widened in horror. This is a secret in their country, and they only know it because they are the confidantes of the Lord of the Two Kingdoms.For ordinary citizens, the meaning is not well understood.

Compared with roulette making, pottery made by hand is not only more delicate in material, but also used as sacrificial ritual utensils. Fang Zheng guessed that it has something to do with their sacrificial officials, which is a very simple reasoning for him.But these two spies don't understand the logical thinking of modern people. Seeing that Fang Zheng can say such a confidential thing, it adds a little sense of awe that he is "given by God".

Fang Zheng had learned from them before that Zu Jiang had 12 officials in charge of sacrifices. The star sacrifice was one of the seasonal sacrifices. In addition, there were sacrifices to gods and various festivals.

However, Zu Jiang never "worships to ancestors", which is related to the nature of their primitive matrilineal society.Nuwa, one of the gods they enshrine, is the ancestor of all of them.As for those concepts such as "incense from generation to generation", they are the product of the patrilineal social system.Zujiang people only recognize "mother" and "uncle", not "father".They adore future offspring rather than past elders.This social form has its unique advantages, but it also has great defects.There were many inconveniences in the expansion phase from primitive society to slavery.For example, the centralization of authority is not enough, which is reflected in the fact that although the two sisters have a tooth order, they have no absolute concept of superiority and inferiority.

Of course, Fang Zheng didn't want to solve social problems for them. After knowing who made the pottery, Fang Zheng thought melancholy: The mountains are high and the roads are far away.

He continued to wonder if it was possible to use the fork and the hook, which had been lying down for too long, turning to try to stretch itself.Their hands and feet were bound with ropes, long enough for them to turn over, but unable to leave the range of the bed.

When they were being questioned just now, they all turned their bodies sideways. When Gou'er lay down on his back, Fang Zheng's eyes flickered, and he saw a small thing leaking from her neck, buried under her clothes at the angle just now.Fang Zheng held an extra piece of cloth in his hand, quickly pulled it out of her neck, and asked, "What is it? Who brought it for you."

He didn't let the thing touch his hands directly, to prevent poison or organs on it.

Fang Zheng saw Cha'er showing a helpless expression, and found the same pendant from her neck in the same way.

When the two captives were first interrogated, there was nothing hanging around their necks.

The shape of the pendant is a round bead with a hole in the middle, and the material feels like bone.Cha'er begged, "This is an ordinary bone bead. We asked them to clean our bodies and put it on."

They were guarded by a few female hunters, who did not know what Cha'er had said sweetly, but were willing to help the two captives wash their bodies, and even helped her find her belongings.Fang Zheng thought to himself that they were very capable. They clearly killed a man in the tribe, but they didn't know how to brainwash them.He snorted coldly, tore off the two bone beads from their necks, and stuffed two strips of cloth into their mouths.

Fang Zheng went outside, and the young Xuemao standing guard at the door said sternly, "You gave them the necklace?"

Xue Mao looked nervous and almost cried: "I... I... They have been begging me. This is from their pile of belongings, and there is no edge, so I just..."

Fang Zheng sighed, Xuemao was young and not very sensible, so he solemnly taught: "It can't be like this anymore. They are still enemies, and they have many methods. Are you afraid that there are poisonous or small thorns in that thing? Be careful to be killed by them."

Only now was Xue Mao dripping with cold sweat, and nodded vigorously: "I, I see."

Fang Zheng ordered: "Remember it yourself, and tell other people not to listen to them. Don't forget what they did."

Fang Zheng is going to take the two bone beads back to study carefully, so he won't easily think that this is an ordinary decoration for beauty.

Fang Zheng went to another room to check the belongings they found.Fang Zheng has seen it last time, except for the two small bone beads, a few small bone forks, two daggers, and the buckskin bag, there are only some daily food items, there is nothing else, they said to sew the dough The tools that belonged to him were buried outside the valley.It makes Fang Zheng a little regretful, after all, the complete set of tools for sewing human skin technology is so rare in this era.

Fang Zheng was full of worries, and when he returned to his room, he did not forget to ask Lian Feng:

"Do you know what is the use of this bone bead?"

Lian Feng's face was serious, and after looking at it carefully, he said solemnly: "Brother Zheng, this is the bone whistle."

There was a hole in the middle of the bead, Fang Zheng suddenly realized, he sneered shortly, and blew the bone whistle to signal, so thoughtful.Fortunately, it was prepared in time.But having said that, can such a small whistle be heard outside the valley?Or--

"Is there something special about this kind of whistle?" Fang Zheng asked Lian Feng.

Lian Feng said: "This is the first time I've seen this kind of bone whistle, but Yu Yi invented the leaf whistle before. The sound of blowing can't be heard by humans, but it can be heard by animals from a long distance. Zu Jiang maybe I learned this technique and changed it into their whistle..."

Fang Zheng frowned. People in this era may not understand that the frequency of sound waves that animals listen to is different from that of humans. For example, dolphins' ultrasonic communication cannot be heard by humans.But it does not prevent them from hunting after a lot of practice. A certain hunter blows a whistle or a leaf whistle and finds a certain frequency and loudness that can recall his animal companion...

What is at play may be a certain sound wave frequency that humans cannot hear but animals can perceive.

When did those two spies hang up the bone whistle?Even if they blew, the guards would not be able to hear them.Have they blown it?

An ominous premonition appeared in Fang Zheng's heart, his intuition was terribly accurate, and almost at the same time he heard screams outside.At the same time, outside the window, it seemed that someone had moved the sky forward half a day to dusk, and the sun's light was dimmed by most of it in an instant.

Fang Zheng quickly took off the bronze sword on the wall and went out, followed by Lian Feng.

Fang Zheng walked out the door and took a deep breath.

A huge Gu sculpture hovered above the village.Fang Zheng can easily identify this creature, which looks like a vulture, has horns on the top of its head, and screams as sharp as a baby.It is a famous man-eating raptor in "Shan Hai Jing".

Fang Zheng had only seen it in pictures before, and only now did he know how big it was.

Its two wings are about seven or eight meters wide, three times larger than the largest eagle in later generations.Compared with such huge wings waving in mid-air, its body is small, and the sternum is more prominent as a ball bulging - there must be a very large heart supplying blood there.

The barriers on all sides of the valley can stop large animals, insects and snakes, but they cannot stop flying birds of prey.

Both of its claws are four-toed, and the claws are like blades. If it is scratched by those huge steel-gray claws, it is estimated that it will die.
