Thanks for the reward of lovely Xi Li, thank you for the full rating. Put on the lid and ask for pink...
**
For the goddess to be able to see the ore found by the Xia clan and ask for a long-term supply, the old patriarch of the Xia clan and the clansmen who came with them were so excited that they burst into tears. The population of the Xia people is quite large, but in the past, the territory was relatively barren, and they had been living a life of starvation.
Before last winter, the Xia exchanged their population for rice and flour from the Atayal tribe. Perhaps because of the distance from the forest, they only encountered a small beast swarm. Although they lost a lot of hunting warriors, the tribe did not suffer a devastating blow.
With the food exchanged from Atayal, the Xia tribe can survive this cold and dangerous winter. However, when spring came, the old patriarch couldn't help but feel worried. After the food was exhausted, the hunting warriors in the clan lost nearly a third of the amount during the beast swarm. In this way, fewer people go out to hunt, and fewer prey are obtained. For the already poor Xia people, this is tantamount to aggravating the situation.
Although the Xia people are remote, they have heard of the Hake tribe, because they found the lime needed by the Atayal people in the territory, and used this lime to exchange a lot of good things with Atayal, in addition to food, Actually, every household is flooded with the luxury of pottery. Now the Huck tribe has almost become the richest tribe in a radius of thousands of miles except the Atayal. Even the Tiger Clan, which was the first alliance of Atayal, could not keep up with this small clan with only one or two hundred people.
The old patriarch of the Xia clan traveled thousands of miles to **** the ore to Atayal, and he held the fluke idea that if the goddess could see his ore, the Xia clan tribe would go to the sky in one step. When this luxury becomes a reality. He could not believe that he had such luck.
Finally found An'er of tin ore, kept the old patriarch and the warriors of the Xia tribe, stayed in Taiya for a few days, and let the tribe take them to visit the city of Taiya.
When my two men come back. An'er said firmly, "I'm going to the Xia tribe to conduct a field investigation. If they find abundant tin ore, they will build a tin smelting plant in the Xia tribe, and then deliver the finished tin after refining it."
Indeed, in order to make bronze ware, not only tin, but also copper and lead must be refined before they can be used. If the Xia people can directly provide finished tin. Then Taiya will save a lot of things.
After repeated struggles. The two men finally agreed to let her go to the Xia clan. However, it must be accompanied by one of the men. This time I went to the Xia clan. If there were abundant tin mines, An'er would probably live there for a long time. Abu is the leader of the clan, so naturally he cannot stay in the tribe for a long time. Therefore, the important task of escorting An'er there fell on Yingye's head.
Three days later, three carriages with open tops slowly drove away from the city gate of Atayal. The patriarch and warriors of the Xia clan were sitting on a carriage, so it was natural that on the carriage was An'er who went to the Xia clan for field investigation. Apart from Ying Ye, the two children who came out together this time, who were only over three months old, were also inseparable from their mothers.
Two more small oil bottles. There are more things to bring. Diapers, small clothes, milled rice noodles, and the small toys they usually play with, the two little guys on the carriage behind accounted for nearly half of them.
Yingxue also volunteered to help take care of the children. Daer also wanted to follow, but if he came out too, the livestock at home would not be taken care of. When the carriage drove away, Da'er reluctantly kept sending it out of the city gate, and even put the remaining few transparent fish in a clay pot with a lid and let the eagle leaf hold it. He also said that the younger brothers and sisters did not eat fish and meat, how pitiful...
In addition to their family, this time they also brought a few strong warriors to escort, among them A Tu, who tried his best to win a place. With Atayal's well-equipped **** team, the patriarch and warriors of the Xia clan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
You must know what a sacred task it is to **** goddesses and goddesses. It can be said that the Xia family has traveled thousands of miles, and they have to sleep in the wild, which can be said to be dangerous. The goddess went for the ore in their territory. If something happened, even if Ataya did not act, those alliance tribes and tribes that had benefited from Ataya would also trample the Xia tribe to the ground.
With Atayal warriors holding powerful crossbows, even groups of prairie wolves are not afraid of night attacks, and their safety is also guaranteed.
The old patriarch of the Xia clan looked back at the other carriage. An'er was pointing at the vast grassland, telling the story of the grassland to the child in his arms! The two little guys walked out of the city gate for the first time, their round eyes widened, and they looked around curiously, full of curiosity about it. Xiao Nianya pointed at the eagle leaf on horseback, and cried "Aah", as if she wanted to try the taste of horseback riding.
Of course An Er would not agree, although it is morning and the sun is not strong, but the horse is running and the wind is still quite strong, if she drinks the wind and gets cold, she will cry No more tears. So, she asked Ah Tu to collect a lot of bright wildflowers, let the two little guys play with each other, and told many fairy tales with emotion.
The two little guys naturally couldn't understand it, but Xiao Xueer listened with relish and urged again and again: "Tell me one more, An'er, you can say one more..."
Although Xiao Xueer usually looks very sophisticated, after all, she is a ten-year-old child, sometimes she still shows the nature of a child. An'er tapped her nose lightly and said with a smile: "After the bamboo paper is made, I will organize those fairy tales into fairy tale books and put them in the library of the tribe, and then the children of the tribe will You can go and see…”
Yingxue said cheerfully: "I also help copy the book! An'er, I have learned almost all the commonly used characters now, and Ming also praised my writing well!"
In terms of writing, An Er is indeed a little ashamed. Before crossing, almost all documents were printed out by computer, and handwriting was seldom used. Therefore, her handwriting, just like primary school students' handwriting, can only be done without typos and neat and tidy. If you talk about the beauty of the font, Ming has long surpassed her, and even the ten-year-old Xiao Xue'er has practiced beautiful block letters!
However, An'er didn't plan to copy the book by hand. She planned to jump directly to the era of movable type printing when the paper came out, and even the ink and glue used to print the book, she had already started to work on it.
Of course the reverse characters on the glue. She squeezed out an inscription with beautiful and good characters, carved it little by little in her spare time, and then hardened it with fire. The strength is similar to that of ceramics, but it is not easy to break. Many commonly used words are specially prepared for several or even dozens of them, in case they are repeated in the same edition. If you come across uncommon characters that are not commonly used in printing in the future, you can use them as you like.
In order to facilitate the selection of fonts in the future, An'er also placed the clay movable type in the wooden lattice in the order of the alphabet. while waiting. Put the words out and apply a layer of medicine made from a mixture of turpentine, wax and paper ash. Then, pick out the glued type you need and put them into the frame one by one. When a box is filled, it becomes a version, and then it is baked with fire until the medicine is slightly melted. Use a flat plate to flatten the surface, and after the medicine cools and solidifies, it becomes a version. When printing, just brush ink on the pattern, cover it with paper, and add a certain amount of pressure.
In order to be able to print continuously, two iron plates are used, one is brushed, the other is typesetting, and the two are alternately used. After printing. Use the fire to bake the medicine, shake it gently with your hand, the movable type can fall off the iron plate, and then put it back in the original wooden grid in order for the next use.
Of course, these printing principles are too complicated, and I can't tell Xiao Xueer now. An'er hasn't been out for a long time since she was pregnant. Looking at the prairie full of vitality, An'er felt relaxed and happy, and hummed a brisk little song.
The two children, who were not very interested in stories, danced to the songs their mother sang. The carriage galloped across the grassland, singing and laughter all the way.
With two live babies, the journey is not so boring. Although it was summer, the carriage had a thick cowhide shed, and it was windy when it ran, but it didn't feel hot. At night, Yingye, who often runs trade outside, chose a depression sheltered from the wind and set up a tent.
Men can do whatever they want. Atayal's horse team goes out, except when the weather turns cold in spring and late autumn, they only bring this tent, and the rest are sleeping in the open. There are women and children in the team today, especially the two little babies, who can't stand the wind. At night in the grasslands, it is still quite cold!
The two children were excited and fell asleep early after eating rice cereal. An'er was lying on the leather cushion, with the soft grass under her body, and she felt a little drowsy listening to the chirping of insects on the grassland.
Just when she was about to fall asleep, Xiao Xueer woke her up, dinner was ready, it was fragrant porridge and steamed buns. The weather is hotter, the food is not easy to store, and the meat stinks almost in a day. Therefore, they brought jerky and steamed buns. There are not many steamed buns, only enough to eat for two days, so as not to eat moldy, what a waste!
Everyone gathered around the fire and ate the first official meal after going out. Xiao Xue'er's craftsmanship has won unanimous praise from everyone, and A Tu also joked: "Xiao Xue's craftsmanship is about to catch up with An'er. I don't know who is so lucky to be your man..."
An'er also joked: "A-Tu, if you are jealous, wait a few more years. When Xiao Xueer grows up, maybe she will agree to your pursuit!"
The smile on Ah Tu's face suddenly condensed, but he quickly covered it up, he said haha: "I'm afraid Da'er will fight with me! To Xiao Xue'er, that kid Like a little tiger that protects its food, I don't dare to stroke the tiger's whiskers easily!"
The group finished their dinner while talking and laughing, and suddenly An'er heard a faintly familiar voice in the wind. She was stunned at first, and asked uncertainly, "Did you hear the voice just now?"
Although the old patriarch of the Xia clan was wrinkled, his ears were clear. He smiled and said, "Just now, it was the cry of a mammoth. However, don't worry, the goddess, the elephant herd will not take the initiative to attack people, and it should be quite far away from us just now."
Mammoths? The long-lost shadow that An'er had buried in her heart emerged. She sighed softly in the bottom of her heart - I wonder if her Xiao Meng is doing well now, will she be in danger? Will it be bullied by other mammoths? Will it be…
Yingye seemed to sense her melancholy, thought about it, and said, "An'er, if you're not tired, I'll take you to see the mammoth herd..."
"Okay! I can't fall asleep so early (who was nodding and dozing just now?), let's go and enjoy the night view of the grassland!" An'er was really excited, She led a certain warrior's mount and jumped on the horse's back.
Seeing this, the old patriarch of the Xia clan hurriedly stopped: "At night, when the wolves are active, be careful when you encounter prairie wolves, they are very ferocious..."
"Don't be afraid! I have an artifact laser gun that can kill even ferocious dinosaurs! If the wolves dare to come, I can knock down a large group with one shot!" An Er patted her waist , with a confident look on his face.
The people of the Xia clan no longer persuade them. People are goddesses who can kill giant mantises and Tyrannosaurus rex, and are they afraid of little prairie wolves?
Eagle Leaf and An'er drove side by side, towards the direction of the mammoth's sound. Speeding all the way, it took about half an hour to see the mammoth herd.
The moonlight tonight is very good, a huge blood moon shrouds the whole grassland in a hazy red light. Then, in the moonlight, An'er gasped when she saw the scene in front of her.
Coyotes! So many prairie wolves! At least a few hundred, right? This group of ferocious prairie wolves is attacking dozens of mammoths. Although mammoths have an absolute advantage in size, isn't there a saying that "there are too many ants and the elephants will be killed"? Not to mention the lethal coyote?
However, the head of the mammoth group is very clever, and the male elephants with sharp teeth are surrounded by a circle, the **** is facing inward, the ivory like a long knife is facing out, and the teeth are relatively short and small, and Young elephants, who have not yet grown tusks, are in a circle.
The elephant group is like a tall and strong city wall. Although the wolf group is dark, it also feels like there is no way to attack when attacking. The mammoth's nearly two-meter-long tusk is like a sharp sword, piercing deeply into the enemy's body whenever it has a chance.
It seems that the battle has been going on for some time. There were casualties on both sides. Outside the city wall made of elephant bodies, the corpses of the coyotes were everywhere, and the ivory shone with **** rays of light. The outer layer of elephants was also covered with scars. Some mammoths had their fur torn off and a large wound, some mammoths were shaky due to excessive bleeding, and some were already lying on the ground, not knowing whether they were dead or alive. ...As long as one mammoth falls, another will immediately make up for it, and the elephants will continue to guard their relatives!
"Ang—" As the wolves attacked more and more intensively, the head elephant let out a roar, curled its nose, rolled up a prairie wolf, and slammed it heavily on the ground. His feet stomped on the wolf's waist fiercely.
Humph! Copper head, iron tail, tofu waist, the wolf's weakness has long been known to the old paper, brothers, kill me!
The avatar was provoked with rage and red eyes...
