The days when my female colleague and I survived in the wilderness

Surrounded by snow water, the taste of the snow after melting is not bad, although it still has some earthy smell, not as good as fresh water.

But we came here to collect firewood, and there was no way to bring water. Fortunately, we brought a clay pot and simply cleaned the frozen wild vegetables found in the snowdrifts around us, and then put them in the pot , put some shell meat and boiled some soup, the taste is not bad.

The bonfire was very enthusiastic, and Wang Ping's expression eased a lot when he sat aside.

"I thought this winter was going to be difficult, but through the efforts of all of us, there was no danger. But all of this is due to Sihai. If it weren't for you to lead us, we wouldn't even have a goal."

I looked at Wang Ping and shook my head: "This is all thanks to everyone, how could it be all due to me? But let's hurry up and get it done, and go back and stay here as soon as we are done, after all, it is cold."

The foreigners also nodded repeatedly, sighing comfortably while eating the soup in the pot to warm their bodies.

When we finished eating and wanted to clean up the bonfires, Wang Ping let out a surprise, and then I saw him squat down and poke the bonfires with a wooden stick.The expression on his face was puzzled and curious.

While moving, he turned his head to look at me: "Sihai, what do you think this is?"

Another male colleague heard the movement, and hurriedly came over to look at it and pouted.

"It's a stone, right? It's just a red-hot stone. When I was in the city, I ate this kind of stone barbecue. It is to burn the stone and then pour oil on it. The flavor baked on top is quite unique.”

After he finished speaking, several male colleagues beside him swallowed their saliva at the same time. After all, although we hunted and caught a big pyrene bear during this period of time, we have always been reluctant to eat the meat, fearing that one day it will be covered by heavy snow. Shan was trapped in the camp and couldn't come out, and the hunger was even more difficult.

Hearing him say that at this time was indeed a bit greedy.

But Wang Ping didn't make a sound, and I also lowered my head, and after taking a second look, I realized that it was some kind of red-hot stone, which obviously looked like iron.

And another gringo with an ax also came over now, Wang Ping put the thing on a stone, and the gringo hit it twice with the axe, the red lump like a stone turned out to be Really something has changed.

Wang Ping's face was filled with joy, and I couldn't help being surprised. If iron ore was really found in this place, then our affairs would have changed drastically.

First of all, we can make a lot of weapons, and we can build an iron pot, which always heats up faster than clay pots and is more practical.

The most important thing is that as long as we have weapons in our hands, then other things are not important.

Even if those indigenous people dare to attack again, if they are all cold weapons, we will not be too disadvantaged.

Moreover, the knives and axes and saw blades in our hands have been seriously consumed. If there is really iron ore in this area, then we can do a lot of things.

Wang Ping raised his head and looked at me several times hesitant to speak, but the surprise in his eyes could not be concealed.

And I was also a little excited. I didn't expect that it would be a natural straight line when the boat reaches the bridge.

I was worried before, but now all my worries disappeared. I quickly and carefully moved the iron block again, and couldn't help being excited.

"Don't look for firewood. Let's see if there are any similar things around here. Let's pick up some things first. If we can really make weapons! Our hope of going back is even greater. Some!"

"Yes, as long as we can find iron, we can build a ship. Although it may take a long time, there is always hope!"

Everyone was immediately attracted by my tone, and all the people put down the dry firewood they had collected just now, and then started to collect these similar stones.

There was no excuse for these stones at all, but after picking up a few, I gradually came to the experience.

That is, for this kind of ore, its light is more obvious than that of stone.

We picked up a lot of stones with all our hands and feet, and threw them all into the bamboo basket we carried when we came.

After going back all the way, the camp had already started cooking food. Seeing us coming back, Xiao Qiang and the others quickly took a look with a smile.

"It's not easy to pick up this firewood now, and it's not convenient to go out when the snow is so heavy. I think this firewood is enough for two days. Why don't we use it sparingly, so you don't have to work so hard."

Wang Ping waved his hand at Xiao Qiang with a smile.

"Even if you don't go out to collect firewood this time, you have to go out to collect something else. Sister-in-law, quickly gather up the bonfire. Now, we can forge our own weapons!"

Xiao Qiang was taken aback when she heard Wang Ping's words, and then looked at me with doubts on my face.

I nodded with a smile, and told Xiao Qiang about the iron ore we found there.

After hearing this, Xiao Qiang also had joy in his eyes: "Really, if this is the case, then we can build a ship and leave here, can't we?"

I nodded, leaving this place, it became a heart attack.

This is indeed the case, but if you want to forge iron, I am afraid it will be a bit difficult.

The temperature of the iron must be very high, which is obviously not possible with our current bonfire, so I am afraid that we will have to build another stove or earthen kiln in the past two days, anyway, I don’t quite understand this thing.

After a brief tidying up, our next work intensity will increase, because we have to go back to the beach to fetch the soil from the side of the soil.

The soil over there can be fired into clay bowls, so it shouldn't take much effort to build an earthen kiln.

In the evening, we finished eating, and planned tomorrow's actions in detail with Wang Ping and the others, and then we all went to bed early.

The next day, just after dawn, Wang Ping came to call me. We packed up the car and tools, and headed to the seaside with our big guys.

After tossing back and forth for three or four days, I finally prepared all the soil to be used, and the next step is to do the work of these iron blocks.

These pieces of iron are very hard, but after being put into the kiln, there is no change at all, and they are still in the original shape.

Chen Jian was a little anxious, saying that the temperature might not be enough, but how can we reach the temperature that the iron block can melt under the current situation?
