It has been half a month since Daman went out. No matter whether people in the tribe go hunting or pulling ore, they have never encountered Daman. Everyone knows that Daman was released by Su Yao. They were very relieved before. Now that he hasn't come back, some people are starting to worry about something wrong with Daman, otherwise why he hasn't come back until now.

It's not always peaceful outside here. Although Daman is bigger than other bulls, his usual behavior is very humane, but he can't stand the wolves and tigers outside, and there is a big wild bear with a paw that can knock bulls away. .

If Daman is unlucky and meets one of them, his life will probably stay on the plain.Another three days passed, and more and more people in the tribe became anxious.

Qingshui Chushan went for a walk on the plain when they had free time, but they still didn't see any trace of the wild cattle, and the pessimistic ones already guessed whether Daman was dead.

Su Yao didn't pay attention to everyone's comments. He left a mark on Daman. If Daman encounters an accident, this mark will trigger him to protect him. After all, he has been raised for such a long time, and Daman can be regarded as obedient and capable. , Su Yao is quite satisfied with it.

There is not much salt left in the tribe. During this period of time, every household tries to save salt for three meals a day. Even so, the remaining salt can last for at most [-] days. The search for salt must Get it done as soon as possible.

More and more iron ore was brought back from the tribe. A group of people quickly absorbed the iron-making craft books that Su Yao gave them, and the iron pots and knives they produced were very good.

It's just that the tribe is so big, and soon the iron farm tools have become saturated, and the iron craftsmen have set their sights on transforming the wheels of wooden carts.

During the period when people in the tribe were busy raising seedlings and opening up wasteland, the blacksmiths replaced all the wheels and wheels in the tribe with iron ones. During this process, the craftsmanship of the blacksmiths continued to improve.

There was a slender iron knife in front of Su Yao. The blade was less than an inch wide and more than ten centimeters long. The blade was extremely sharp.

This is a razor knife specially developed by blacksmiths for shaving skin and bones. Having such a meat cutting knife can save a lot of time when skinning and shaving bones.

"I think it's almost there." Su Yao picked up the iron knife and played with it in his hand, and only an afterimage remained after flying the iron knife with his fingers.

Zhongli responded, "Let them try it tomorrow. If we can make it in three days, we can fully equip the soldiers."

The two were talking about making iron weapons.

The appearance of iron means that the struggle between wild races will enter a more bloody stage. Su Yao knows that the appearance of cold weapons is a process that must be experienced after changes in the production structure.

Now he just made the time of this appear earlier, so although Su Yao was touched in his heart, he didn't stop it from happening.

"Soldiers are used to using spears, so let's make spears first, and it will be easier to use." Su Yao picked up a pen and drew a spear pattern on the cowhide. The sharp spear point at the top is particularly special. obvious.

It only takes a few minutes to draw the pattern, Zhongli took the manu leather and put it in his arms: "I'll go and watch them make it."

"Okay." Su Yao was always at ease with Zhong Li, but then he added: "Remember to tell them that nothing related to weapons can be disclosed to the public, and the refining method must be kept secret. Just burn it."

Before the Huangping tribe was strong enough to fight against those large tribes with tens of thousands of people, Su Yao didn't want to let the iron-making method go out and make enemies for himself, so secrecy was the most basic guarantee.

"I see, don't worry." Zhong Li turned and left.

Even if Su Yao didn't mention it, Zhong Li had already made plans to keep the blacksmiths secret, and had a detailed secret and punishment plan in mind.

According to the information obtained from the priest, Su Yao has confirmed the existence of earth salt, so according to the plan, it is best to refine the coarse salt in the place where the earth salt is produced, so as to reduce unnecessary load during transportation.

In the case of not knowing whether the bullock cart can be used or not, the less the load, the less effort it will be for the soldiers.

It is recorded in ancient books that the method of making soil salt is not too difficult, but the steps are very complicated. Every step is related to whether the salt produced can be successful, and even if it is successful, it can be eaten healthily.

The blacksmiths have made more than a dozen huge iron pots in advance, and the carpenters have already made large wooden shovels, wooden spoons, wooden sticks and other lightweight and portable wooden products.

In addition, Su Yao also asked people to prepare a lot of bags made of animal skins.

In fact, cotton bags are better than animal skin bags in terms of weight and convenience, but salt is soluble in water, so you don’t have to worry about salting when it rains or when you go to the river with animal skin bags.

Moreover, the human body's long-term contact with salt will cause damage to the skin, and the isolation ability of the animal skin bag can avoid this hidden danger.

The blacksmiths rushed to work day and night for three days and three nights, and finally made [-] iron spear points before the salt hunting team set off.

Under Zhongli's instruction, the five hundred warriors who were going out to find salt installed spear points on their spears. Although the combination of spears and spear points was too crude, it did not affect the sharpness of the weapons at all.

The team looking for salt has set a date for departure, which will be tomorrow morning.

It will take at least 20 days to go. At noon, every household is busy preparing dry food and bags for the soldiers. The field workers are busy picking sweet potato leaves. As a result, a loud and clear cry of cows reaches everyone's ears.

The first people to see the bulls were the people working in the fields. They followed the sound and looked up and saw a large herd of bulls staggering towards the tribe.

Due to the large number of bulls, the working people thought that the bulls were staring at the sweet potato leaves in the field, so they hurriedly sent people to the tribe to find soldiers to drive away the bulls.

Su Yao felt Daman's approaching breath and knew it was back. He was very interested in whether Daman had brought back his little wife, so he put down the bamboo slips in his hand and rushed out of the tribe.

The people working in the field were a little puzzled when they saw that the group of wild bulls approached but did not eat the sweet potato vines in the field, but instead kept walking along the road directly to the tribe.

The leading barbarian yelped a few more times, the raised head and dangling horns seemed to reveal a sense of complacency, and Chu Shan and Qing Shui, who were more familiar with the barbarians, saw the signs:

"Why does this leading ox look more and more like the big man in our tribe?"

"But it's a bit different. Da Man is not so strong, and he doesn't have those few scars on his body."

At this time, Zhongli and Su Yao also happened to meet not far away, and the triumphant bull immediately raised its hooves and ran towards the two of them, even running wildly with the herd of bulls.

"Master Envoy", "Master Zhongli", "Be careful!"

Everyone subconsciously exclaimed, for fear that the mad bull would hurt their elegant envoy.

However, a miraculous scene appeared, I saw Su Yao gently raised his right hand with a smile on his face, the bull gradually slowed down as if he had received some order, and the herd of cattle running wildly slowed down accordingly.

While everyone was watching, Daman stopped in front of Su Yao with a foot brake, then gently pressed his head into Su Yao's palm, and shook it coquettishly.

The herd of wild bulls behind them also stopped not far away, waiting for the big man to give orders.

"Good job." Su Yao was very satisfied with Daman's professional ability, a large handful of fresh and juicy spirit grass appeared out of nowhere in his hand, and Daman immediately stretched his neck to pick up the spirit grass and ate it.

"A total of 29 wild cows have been brought back, and I will give you your favorite watermelon when I go back." After eating a handful of spirit grass, he patted the bull's horns, turned around and told Chu Shan: "Find more people, and quickly build In a few corrals, lock up the bulls brought back by Daman first."

"Is it really a barbarian?" Chu Shan jumped three feet high, seeing so many bulls, he was so happy that he couldn't even walk steadily.

"My God, you are so powerful. I'll let someone mow the grass for you." Qing Shui hurriedly ran behind Chu Shan to the tribe, carefully watching that he was staggering even when he was running.

The rest of the tribe had been more frightened, until now those frights turned into great surprises.These are 29 big bulls. How much trouble can it save the tribe for pulling carts?

Everyone hadn't mastered the culture yet, so they couldn't express their inner shock. In the end, they only shouted a few words, "Gods are above, and the gods are manifested" to sigh.

These people's calculations are very simple. One big brute can hold up to five or six big men, and with so many bulls, it is estimated that hundreds of big men can fall on top of them. In the future, they will save a lot of effort to pull ore.

As soon as Daman returned to the field, he drank a lot of water by the pool. During the breeding season, the cows often fight for the rights of their spouses, and the leader of the herd has priority.

In order to prevent foreign bulls from robbing the mate resources in the herd, the bulls in a herd will unite to resist the foreign bulls. It is at this time that Daman encounters the herd.

Daman eats spiritual grasses that contain aura throughout the winter, and his fur is shiny and shiny, with sharp and strong horns. He is extremely popular among the barbarian herd.

As soon as this kind of barbarian appeared, he aroused the hatred of the entire herd of bulls. Those injuries on his body were left when he fought against the entire herd of bulls.

Fortunately, Daman successfully subdued and brought back the entire herd, making great contributions to the tribe.Chu Shan felt sorry for Da Man and hurriedly mixed the leaves of the sweet potato at home with the dried roots and took a big pot to feed it.

Daman has come back, and Xiaoman can take it out with confidence if Daman helps with work in the tribe.

As soon as the morning dawned, the warriors looking for salt had already set off from the tribe. They carried not only their own bags, but also small tools for cooking salt. The cauldron was in the cart pulled by Xiaoman. .

The search for salt this time is related to the survival and development of the tribe in the future, so Su Yao and Zhongli must follow.The big and small matters in the tribe were handed over to the priest and Su Ya, and the calm Chu Shu could now take care of himself.

Walking all the way to the northwest and getting farther and farther away from the big river, the weather is getting hotter and sweating after walking for a few hours. Fortunately, the big guys are wearing cotton clothes, which are very breathable and will not cover you Prickly heat.

In order to catch up on time, Su wanted to take people to eat, rest and sleep for half an hour to catch up on sleep at the hottest time of noon, and set foot on the journey when it was gray in the early morning and he could barely see the road under his feet.
