Chapter 389 (1/2)
”Guardian, our chief junaruska seems to have a problem with you. You should be careful.” On the morning of the third day after the celebration dinner, Shi Xiong and some members of the expeditionary army began to return to gaoshu tribe. On the way back, Da Jiao Yang, who was riding beside Shi Xiong, whispered.
There were not many people around them. Most of the recruits of the expeditionary army were selected from the four guard tribes. When the eastern expedition ended, they naturally had to stay with their families. Only some veterans from gaoshu tribe and waier tribe would follow the stone bear back to the foot of fog mountain.
The stone bear glanced at the bighorn sheep and said in the same low voice, ”bighorn sheep, don't think that if I treat you as a new leader, you can slander our chief.”
”Guardian, I, I'm telling the truth.” Hearing this, bighorn sheep immediately became a little worried, but he lowered his voice again and said, ”guardian, you should understand what I think. I can swear to the supreme Sun God and all the gods that my bighorn sheep will only follow you in this life, because you are the only one who can really convince me! I... ”
Stone Bear looked at some fidgety bighorn sheep, waved his hand with a smile, and interrupted him in a low voice, ”bighorn sheep, I know who you are best. I can let you be my deputy. That's what I expect from you. I believe what you said, but that is our chief now. So, you can say some words to me, but you must not let outsiders know these words. It's good for you and it's protection for you. Do you understand? ”
The big horn sheep was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a bitter smile and said: ”guardian, I understand what you mean, and I am very grateful for your respect for me. But that's why I have to say something to you. I just want you to be on your guard. Anyway, according to my judgment, chief junaruska seems to have a problem with you. ”
Stone bear said with a smile: ”this is normal. In the Far East, in our common ancestors, there is a saying called ”high achievers”. Although we have not yet reached that point, sooner or later we will reach that point. So, there are some things I'll pay attention to. ”
”High achievers?” Bighorn sheep lowered his head and chewed this sentence carefully. For a long time, a smile appeared on his face.
After seven or eight days' journey, these expeditionary soldiers arrived at the Bank of the bend.
Compared with two years ago, when stone bear fled with Gao Niu, it took big foot to lead soldiers of gaoshu tribe to cross the river in canoes. Now, three floating bridges have been built on the big bend, which used to be regarded as a natural moat, but now it has become a smooth road.
When they arrived at the pontoon, there were three or four ox carts on each pontoon, carrying a lot of iron ore from the north bank to the South Bank of the river. The reason why three pontoons were built on the bend was that on the North Bank of the bend, David Addison discovered a larger iron mine and a coal mine with the same reserves.
Because the big bend is a natural barrier, before the development of long-range powerful offensive weapons or defensive weapons, the gaoshu tribe could not put such a dangerous river as a barrier, so under the arrangement of the stone bear, the mining of the iron mine and coal mine near the original Daqingshan was suspended, and the mining of the coal mine and iron mine on the other side of the big bend was fully carried out.
So there are three more pontoons on the bend.
Moreover, with the three floating bridges, the coal mine and iron mine on the North Bank of the great bend are closer to the original Daqingshan tribe. Therefore, the development of the coal mine and iron mine has become one of the important tasks of the gaoshu tribe.
