Chapter 11 [Suspected Copper Mine]
Yang Feng and others followed the instructions of the tribe leader and headed north of the tribe.
"Feng, look, is this the copper that the patriarch asked us to find?" A middle-aged man who looked to be about thirty years old, with a weather-beaten face, came to Yang Feng with a stone that looked a bit coppery in his hand.
Hear what Yang Yun said.
Yang Feng quickly reached out to take the copper-yellow stone that Yang Yun handed to him and looked at it carefully.
If this is really the copper ore that the patriarch needs.
Can the tribe go one step further?
"It should be."
Yang Feng looked at the copper-colored stone in his hand, carefully put it into the bag made of animal skin, and said, "Yun, where did you find this?"
This could be a treasure that could change the family, and it must be preserved intact.
"Here." Yang Yun pointed to a cave in the distance and said, "Shui and I were exploring ahead and found that cave. We found this thing in that cave."
Following the direction pointed by Yang Yun, Yang Feng hurriedly led his men towards the cave.
Come to the cave.
It was discovered that there were many such copper-yellow stones in the cave, many of which were quite large and could not be moved.
"Good, good, good."
Seeing this, Yang Feng's eyes showed joy. He quickly took out the preliminary map from his bag, brows furrowed.
Now if they want to return to the tribe, they need to cross at least three mountains before they can get back to the tribe.
Trek through mountains and rivers.
"Feng, shall we return to the tribe?"
Yang Yun asked tentatively.
They have reached the deadline given by the tribe leader. If they don't return to the tribe...
"No hurry." Yang Feng's eyes flickered when he heard that, but he didn't speak. He was thinking about something in his mind.
The other members of the hunting team didn’t understand what Yang Feng was thinking. They all looked at him intently, waiting for him to make a decision.
Follow the captain's instructions.
This is what the patriarch told them.
"Look for a relatively wide plain near a water source."
After a long silence, Yang Feng said.
It is too far to transport copper ore from here, so it is better to choose a plain nearby and let the tribe migrate from its original site to a plain close to the resource-rich land.
"Good." After receiving the order from Yang Feng, the others expressed their agreement.
……
a few days later.
Yang clan tribe.
Yang Yu stood quietly by the stream, watching the elders of the tribe catching fish with fishing nets, and fell into deep thought.
"Yu, are you worried about Feng and the others?"
Yang Li'er saw Yang Yu, who was standing in a daze by the river, from a distance, and then he walked out of the tribal camp.
"According to the agreed time, Feng and his companions have already passed the deadline and have not returned yet."
"I'm worried~"
Yang Yu sighed deeply.
If anything happened to Yang Feng, Yang Yun and others, it would be a huge blow to the entire tribe.
Four strong laborers will be lost at once.
This is a price that the Yang clan cannot afford to lose or bear.
"Yu, be at ease."
"I believe that with the protection of the gods, Feng will be fine."
Yang Li'er placed her hands on her chest devoutly and said.
"god?"
Hearing this, Yang Yu's face gradually turned cold, "Lin'er, there are no gods in this world."
"what?"
When Lin'er heard Yang Yu blaspheming the gods, she became a little dazed for a moment.
God, that cannot be blasphemed.
Aren't you the Son of God? "Humph, there are no gods in this world. They are just more powerful lives."
Yang Yu snorted coldly and said, "Don't pin your hopes on the so-called gods. We are based on this wild land. It is our hard work, our wisdom and our hands that allow us to survive on this land."
"If there are gods, why don't they look down upon us with pity when we are attacked by ferocious beasts?"
"God? We ourselves are God."
Hearing Yang Yu's outrageous words, Yang Li'er, A Da and A Er were all shocked.
But think carefully about what the patriarch said.
It seems that this is really the truth.
“Many things that we do not understand have been deified. When our knowledge is broad enough, they will all be overturned by us.”
Yang Yu said seriously.
at this time.
Yang You came running from a distance, panting and saying, "Clan leader, Feng, Feng and his men are back, and they also brought back the copper ore that the clan leader needs."
"really?"
In an instant, Yang Yu stopped arguing with Yang Li'er about the topic of "God". His eyes lit up and he immediately strode towards the direction where Yang You came from.
Yang Li'er also hurriedly followed the steps of Yang Yu and Yang You and walked towards the tribe.
“Wind, wind…”
When Yang Yu arrived at the center of the camp, he saw Yang Feng, Yang Yun and their group, who were covered in dust, in a mess, and even covered in blood. He asked, "Did you have a conflict with other tribes?"
"Never."
"On our way back, we accidentally entered the territory of a ferocious beast. The four of us worked together to kill the beast."
"Chief, this is the ferocious beast cub we brought back."
Yang Feng shook his head slightly and said.
They had never had any conflict with other tribes, but they accidentally entered the territory of a ferocious beast.
Look in the direction Yang Feng pointed.
Yang Yu frowned slightly. Why did these two ferocious beast cubs look more and more familiar the more he looked at them?
"This, this, this..."
Isn't that an iron-eating beast?
Don't you know what an iron-eating beast is?
You should know what the national treasure, the giant panda, is?
"You, you shot and killed an iron-eating beast?"
Yang Yu looked at Yang Feng and the others in astonishment, and even forgot about the copper ore that they brought back.
Iron-eating beast.
"Iron-eating beasts? That's in line with their name."
Yang Feng thought about it carefully and said, "We have already brought back the carcass of the iron-eating beast and placed it in the warehouse."
"Gudong."
Yang Yu swallowed dryly.
By the way, I live in a primitive age. Eating giant pandas shouldn't be against the law, right?
Then, he came to his senses and asked, "Where are the stones you brought back?"
"Chief, the copper ore we brought back has been sent to the ancestral hall for the decision of the elders."
Yang Feng said.
"Good, good, good. You guys are great." Yang Yu was extremely satisfied. He was quite pleased with the gains brought by Feng.
"Yu, should we kill the young iron-eating beast? We have never raised such a ferocious beast before."
Seeing Yang Yu preparing to rush towards the ancestral hall, Yang Li'er, who was following behind him, asked hurriedly.
"Put them in the pig pen temporarily."
Yang Yu strode towards the ancestral hall, and his voice came from afar, saying: "Let Feng and others go home and rest for the time being. If there is anything, we will report it tomorrow."
Copper ore.
That is a crucial step that determines whether the tribe can become stronger.
At this moment, he had completely forgotten about the giant panda.
"Put the food and the young iron-eating beast into the pigpen, and go home to rest for a while."
Yang Li'er said.
Yang Feng, who was about to continue speaking, could only swallow back the words that were about to come out of his mouth after hearing what Yang Li'er said.
