Chapter 35 (1/2)

For the people of gaoshu tribe, iron is a treasure, just like horses. Irrespective of iron pots, spades, shovel or small knives, even if these irons are made of pig iron of very poor quality, for those who are not smelted by metal, these iron weapons that are much harder than stone and bone are gods gifts.

Horses and irons were the main goods that the Indians traded with the vassichus. The colonists from Europe didn't even have to pay. They just needed to buy some unwanted iron garbage in Europe and pull it to North America to exchange precious and gorgeous fur with the local Indians.

As the aborigines living in the easternmost part of North America, the gaoshu tribe has been in contact with the vasichus since more than 100 years ago, so there are still some ironware in the tribe.

However, like shovel and hoe iron, there are not two or three tribes in the tribe, so most of the people work with rock shovels and stone hoes, and some of them start to live in mud. Others who did not dig were sent by the stone bear to pull coal and limestone, kaolin and iron ore.

Almost all the members of the tribe went out, and the strong men, needless to say, the women with the same physique did the same work as the men. Older people, with their children, act as transport brigades, and they use the few cars in the village to pull those things.

The people of gaoshu tribe live in wooden houses, so there are skilled carpenters in the tribe. Especially after contacting with the vasichus, these carpenters exchanged fur for a complete set of woodworking tools from vasichus, which greatly improved their craftsmanship.

Several carpenters in the tribe got together and began to figure out how to make what the guardian called ”bellows” according to the plan mentioned by stone bear before.

”Why dig such a big hole?” Kabulu stood beside the stone bear and asked curiously. Her eyes were always wandering between the living mud people and the digging people. The leader of the tribe, Li Lei, sat aside and looked at the scene with the same interest.

For them, what happened before their eyes was something they had never seen before, and curiosity was inevitable.

Li Lei also raised his ears. He also wanted to hear why the guardian wanted the people to do these things.

Strange to say, Li Lei, who seemed to be dying some time ago, has now slowed down. His face is no longer so pale, but more red, the most important thing is that he is not like some time ago as can only lie, now he can even sit up.

This kind of change makes the stone bear wonder.

However, for the improvement of leader Li Lei, Shi Xiong still agrees. After all, Li Lei is very supportive of himself now, especially after he killed a big red deer and a bison alone, Li Lei leader's support for himself is more obvious.

Just like today's mobilization, if Li Lei doesn't speak, the people won't listen to his guardian.

”It's very necessary to dig this pit. After the pit is dug, kaolin is pasted around it, and it can be used for coking after natural drying!”

”Coking? What is coking? ” Li Lei asks curiously.
