Chapter 21 [Bronze Age]

The next few days.

Yang Yu personally guided the tribesmen to dig charcoal pits outside the tribal camp and make pit stoves.

The charcoal pit is mainly used for burning paper charcoal.

The function of the pit furnace is to refine the ore into copper.

If you want to refine ore into copper, charcoal plays a very important role. Without charcoal, the copper will not be refined very purely.

After making the charcoal pit and pit furnace, Yang Yu began to mobilize the second group of hunting team warriors, pulling the drag board towards the cave where the copper ore was located to mine the copper ore.

The first group of hunting warriors, led by Yang Feng, began to burn charcoal outside the tribal camp.

"Feng, next, you will lead the five warriors to help the workshop build a blacksmith shop."

Yang Yu looked at Yang Feng, the tribe's aging leader, and decided to let him make use of his remaining energy while he was still young and strong.

"Blacksmith shop?"

Yang Feng looked at his clan leader in surprise and said, "Clan leader, spring has arrived and our clan needs to farm..."

"No problem."

"The farming is left to the women of the tribe."

"You guys do some hard work."

Yang Yu said seriously: "The blacksmith shop is the key to the tribe's further progress. It cannot be delayed any longer."

"promise."

Looking at the busy tribe, Yang Yu had a hint of heartache in his eyes, but he concealed it well.

Let us work harder to reduce the pressure on future generations.

"Li." Yang Yu said, "Ru, lead the remaining warriors of the hunting team to hunt and ensure that the tribesmen work during this period and do not work on an empty stomach."

"Yes." After receiving the order from the patriarch, Lie immediately got ready and took the warriors of the hunting team to go hunting in the mountains.

"Clan leader."

at this time.

An elder of the tribe came over with a cane.

"Elder, why are you here?" Seeing the old man coming, Yang Yu hurriedly stepped forward and said.

“Chief, although we are old, we are still members of the tribe. We cannot sit idle and add burden to the tribe.”

The clan elder looked at Yang Yu and grinned.

Now all the tribesmen are working, except for these old people who have nothing to do.

They also felt bad.

The tribe needs contribution.

Hear the words.

Yang Yu looked at the group of tribal elders behind the elder, pondered for a moment, and said: "Dear elders, I also know that you don't want to become a burden to the tribe, so I will arrange some work for you."

"Then help burn the paper and charcoal!"

"Burn charcoal? We don't know how to do that!"

The elders were relieved when they heard that the patriarch was willing to give them work, but they were all confused when they thought about making charcoal.

How to make charcoal?
“When we cook with fire, the black wood that has not been burned to ashes becomes charcoal.”

Yang Yu explained to everyone present one by one: "You don't know how to do it, I will teach you."

Next.

Yang Yu took the small pieces of wood from the warehouse and threw them into the charcoal pit. Then he found many dry twigs and threw them into the charcoal pit as well. He also took some fire and threw it into the charcoal pit.

Because there are many dry twigs, they can be easily ignited.

Once the fire is burning, seal the charcoal pit.

After finishing all this, he said: "Elders, making charcoal is as simple as this. When the temperature drops tomorrow, you can take out the charcoal."

"Also, elders, can you still chop wood?"

"It's quite difficult to burn large branches, so they need to be split into short sections so that charcoal can be burned as quickly as possible." "Hahaha~"

"Chief, don't underestimate me. In the past, I was also a brave warrior in the hunting team. Even though I am old, I can still chop wood."

Hearing this, an elder of the tribe laughed loudly and strode towards the warehouse.

He walked out of the warehouse with a stone axe, went to the trees cut down by the warriors of the other tribe, and started chopping wood.

The other old men also laughed.

If they can eat, they can work.

The other old ladies looked at each other and said, "Chief, we are not as strong as them, so it is not our turn to chop wood! You will be responsible for burning charcoal. If the charcoal is being burned, you can go to the fields and work for the women in the tribe."

After all, this was also tribal labor, something he had not thought of before.

If you can do something to help the tribe, then do something!
Otherwise these old people will feel guilty.

In today's tribe, it is not just the affairs of each household, but the meals that are eaten from a big pot.

"promise."

……

Time just slowly passes by.

Under the leadership of Yang Yu, the Yang clan gradually got back on track.

The appearance of bronze meant that weapons far superior to those of this era had appeared in this primitive era, and the people of the tribe also had enough power to fight against the beasts in the woods.

Human beings are beginning to move towards the right track and, under the leadership of Yang Yu, are moving towards the top of the food chain.

With the emergence of wooden wheels, the wheelbarrow gradually came onto the stage of history.

With the addition of the Yuezhi tribe, the birth rate of the Yang tribe also increased.

Similarly, what follows is the issue of having children in this era.

Whether in this era or in the technologically advanced 22nd century, giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell for women.

Therefore, many families have seen women die during childbirth when it comes to reproduction.

Yang Yu also gradually paid attention to this problem, and personally found older people who had worked as midwives to teach the tribal girls how to take charge of delivery and deal with simple bandaging issues.

Five years later, the population of the Yang tribe had broken through the double digits and reached an astonishing triple digits.

Many of the former warriors of the hunting team have already left the team, and the grown-up children have joined the hunting team.

Of course, there was also Yan who did not join the hunting team.

After he turned sixteen, he began running around the mountains, trying every kind of wild grass, trying to find out which ones could cure diseases for the tribe, and he even did experiments himself.

“Time flies by so fast!”

Yang Yu stood under a banyan tree in the tribal camp, looking at the children playing in the tribe with a smile in his eyes.

Next to the banyan tree, Yang Li'er sat on the swing built by Yang Yu, with the charm of a mature woman. Looking at the children playing and fighting in front of her, she couldn't help but smile.

Children belong to the tribe.

"Ah~"

"Wow wow~"

at this time.

For some unknown reason, a hunting dog raised by the tribe suddenly rushed towards the children who were playing and attacked.

Saw this scene.

Yang Yu's expression changed slightly, and he immediately rushed towards the children.

And Yang Li'er also stood up from the swing.

what happened?

A good hunting dog would actually attack the children of the tribe?
Taking a few steps closer, Yang Yu picked up a child who was about to be bitten by the hound and kicked the mad hound.

"Ow~"
