"Chi~"

A sound was heard, and white vapor filled the air. There was also some unpleasant smell floating in the air.

After a while, the smoke gradually disappeared, and Han Cheng, who was holding the copper pliers, retracted his arm. There was a dagger clamped on the pliers.

The blade of the dagger is about nine centimeters long.

If the handle at the back is included, it is about twelve centimeters.

This is the dagger that Han Cheng and his second senior brother spent two or three days to make.

The color of the dagger was different from the bronze dagger that shone brightly in the sun; it didn't shine much.

The color of the body is dark, with a hint of dark blue.

I don’t know what the rest of the people in the tribe think, but at least in Han Cheng’s eyes, a dagger like this is much more dangerous than those brightly colored daggers in the tribe.

Perhaps, this is also related to the fact that he participated in the entire process of making this thing.

After holding the dagger made of hammered iron in his hand and looking at it for a while, Han Cheng felt very satisfied and took it for further processing.

The main thing is to install the handle on it.

Han Cheng wanted to install a rhinoceros horn, but unfortunately the rhinoceros horn obtained from the Tengshe tribe was in the main tribe, not here.

So Han Cheng had to settle for the next best thing and install a wooden handle...

After it was securely installed, it was wrapped tightly with a leather rope on the outside.

Wrapping it in this way not only looks good, but more importantly, it can increase the roughness, making the dagger easier to hold.

Moreover, such things can effectively absorb sweat, avoiding problems such as slipping of hands due to sweating in the palms caused by holding for a long time.

At the same time, because the leather is relatively soft, it is also comfortable to hold.

In fact, in terms of practicality alone, this method of installing a wooden handle and then wrapping it with leather is much more comfortable to use than a dagger made of ivory, rhino horn or the like.

However, in many cases, people tend to only choose expensive things instead of the right ones...

After installing and repairing the dagger, Han Cheng took the small dagger to the whetstone in the tribe.

He squatted down, scooped up some water from the pottery jar beside him, and sprinkled it on the grindstone.

After wetting the whetstone, start sharpening the dagger back and forth on it.

It won’t succeed without polishing.

If it is not sharpened, this unopened dagger will be as uncomfortable to use as an old lady's tooth.

Han Cheng did all these things himself, without using anyone else's help.

A person's abilities are closely related to his or her living environment.

Take Han Cheng for example. Now, he can do many of the tasks at hand.

And many of them are not bad.

There is no other way. Living in this era, you need to do many things by yourself. There are many things that you cannot do even if you don't know how to do them.

Turn the dagger over and run your finger lightly over the blade to feel its sharpness.

Just a slight scratch left a small mark on Han Cheng's finger.

It doesn't hurt though.

Because it's just the outer skin that's cut, it won't have any impact.

Holding the dagger, Han Cheng tested its sharpness on some fur scraps and found that it was indeed much sharper than a copper knife.

And its durability is far better than that of copper knives.

After verifying these, a smile appeared on Han Cheng's face.

This shows that the iron ore near the Youchao tribe is still very good.

Moreover, there is no problem for our tribe to use iron ore to smelt iron, and use the smelted iron to make things!

Our tribe can really enter the Iron Age!

However, this joy was lessened after seeing the charcoal next to the iron smelting furnace.

Compared to wood, charcoal is stronger in every aspect and much easier to use.

However, charcoal is not very useful for iron smelting.

It can be used to smelt iron, but its durability is not good enough.

Obviously a lot of charcoal had been put into it, but in many cases the charcoal inside had already burned out before the iron ore was completely melted.

Moreover, charcoal is more troublesome to make.

It needs to start with logging.

After going through this process, a lot of time has passed and a lot of manpower has been expended.

To be honest, coal is more comfortable to use for smelting iron.

It can be used directly after mining.

Unlike charcoal, it requires many processes to be made.

And after it is made, its performance is not as good as coal.

In fact, Han Cheng has always been paying attention to coal and wanted to get it to his tribe.

This is not only useful when smelting iron and refining bronze, but also saves people in the tribe from having to work so hard on a daily basis.

But just like the iron ore, there is no news either.

It is even inferior to iron ore.

Because the iron ore has received the news, but the coal has not made any movement at all...

It seems that after coming here, I have slowly done a lot of things and found many things for the tribe.

But if you really count carefully, there are still many things missing in the tribe.

For example, the coal that Han Cheng is talking about now, the wheat that he has always been thinking about as a northerner, and the horse that can gallop thousands of miles after riding...

The tribe doesn't have all these things yet.

This is actually similar to life.

Sometimes, looking back, I feel that I have gained a lot.

As a result, when you look forward, you will find that there are still many things that you have not completed...

Today is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

Because the people of the Sharp Tooth Tribe unexpectedly sent a New Year's gift package of iron ore, some people who should have taken a good rest during the New Year holidays did not rest much, but were busy verifying the iron ores.

The fifth day is also called Po Wu.

In Han Cheng's hometown in later generations, after the fifth day of the New Year, all aspects of production and life can be done and will begin one after another.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Chinese New Year is completely over.

Po Wu is a transitional day between New Year’s Eve, the first day and the fifteenth day of the new year.

In Han Cheng's hometown, the fifth day of the New Year is considered a relatively important day.

Firecrackers are set off during lunch, and the food is relatively better.

Han Cheng, who came from later generations, would naturally bring these customs with him and promote them in the tribe.

After today, the tribe will officially resume work, and everyone's New Year's break will also come to an end.

It is necessary to celebrate with delicious food.

A certain foodie thought so in his heart.

Watching him devouring the food that was obviously much richer than usual, it was easy to wonder what the real reason was for him to promote the customs of his hometown so much...

After the fifth day of the New Year, Han Cheng will organize people to leave the tribe and go to Youchao tribe to conduct on-site surveys to see what the iron ore, which is extremely useful to the tribe, is like.

Now is the slack season for farmers, so there is no rush to do things like planting. It is just the right time to do this.

"@#@@S..."

Inside the room in Jinguan City, some people were speaking in extremely excited moods and expressing their feelings and wishes through their body movements.

These people were none other than the people from the Liya tribe who attacked the Qingque tribe on the first day of the Lunar New Year. They were then severely beaten up by the people of the Qingque tribe and all turned into slaves.

The reason why these people from the former Liya tribe were so excited was that just a while ago, Han Cheng told them through Mao that he was going to take people to look for iron ore, and asked who among them could lead the way.

After taking the oath and being well fed and well cared for for a few days in the Green Bird tribe, the people of the Liya tribe became more respectful to Han Cheng.

They were thinking about doing something to repay this very good person.

After learning what Han Cheng meant, these people suddenly became excited and said that they could go.

Say this regardless of whether your injuries have healed or not.

Or maybe they had ignored the fact that they were injured in order to fulfill the order of the Son of God to whom they had sworn allegiance...

Han Chengdu was a little confused by this scene.

I felt very uncomfortable and confused by their unusually positive and enthusiastic attitude.

The reactions of these people were even more active and exaggerated than those of the citizens of their own Qingque tribe.

Could it be that these people have the potential to become little beasts, just like Neon in later generations?

After being beaten up, instead of getting angry, he kneels down and calls daddy?

And the harder he is beaten and the more humbly he kneels, the more actively and affectionately he calls daddy?

Looking at the reactions of these people in front of him, Han Cheng couldn't help but suspect this.

And the more I look at it, the more I feel that this is the case...

In the end, Han Cheng selected four people from these overly enthusiastic Sharp Tooth tribesmen to follow.

These four people either had no injuries to their lower bodies, or their injuries were very minor and they are basically fine now.

The main selection criterion is that it will not affect your walking.

People like the former leader of the Sharp Fang Tribe, who had suffered extremely embarrassing injuries, would not be able to participate in this operation.

After all, if you really choose such people to lead the way, then you are not leading the way, but sending these people to their deaths.

In fact, it is not quite accurate to say that we let these people lead the way.

After all, the people of the Qingque tribe know much more about how to get from Jinguan City to the Youchao tribe than those of the Liya tribe.

The reason why they let the people of the Sharp Tooth Tribe lead the way was because Han Cheng and his friends did not know where exactly in the Youchao Tribe the people of the Sharp Tooth Tribe discovered the existence of iron ore.

Han Cheng brought them with him in order to save some time and effort, so that once they arrived near Youchao tribe, they could spend less effort.

Han Cheng knew about this, but the people of the Sharp Tooth Tribe did not.

For this reason, after Han Cheng and other people from the Qingque tribe had packed up and left Jinguan City and walked forward for a while, the four people from the Liya tribe were stunned for a moment.

Because it was agreed that they would lead the way, but the people from the Qingque tribe simply didn't listen to what they said.

We had clearly said that we needed to go in this direction first, but the people of the Qingque tribe went in a different direction from what we said.

They were talking and laughing along the way, and seemed to be very familiar with the road they were taking.

What on earth is going on? !

Didn’t we agree that you and others would come and lead the way?

Now this is like letting others lead the way?

The four guides who had successfully walked behind the team were now full of doubts and confusion.

This matter is really too bizarre and confusing.

At the beginning, the people of the Sharp Tooth Tribe tried to struggle and correct some mistakes made by the people they were loyal to during their journey.

But as the walking time and distance increased, these people gave up struggling.

Because the only route they knew to the Youchao tribe was the one they took when they came here.

They had been walking for so long at this point. Even if the Son of God listened to their advice and asked them to lead the way, they still wouldn't know how to go on.

The only advice that could be given was to return to the original route, go back to Jinguan City, and then continue along the path they had taken before.

Such a thing is obviously impossible to happen.

"@##@#DF?!"

With such extremely complicated feelings, after walking forward for a long distance, one of the people from the Sharp Tooth Tribe suddenly spoke.

While speaking, he pointed to a tree nearby.

This tree is very big.

There was a pile of ashes under the tree, and next to the ashes, there were some stones for sitting.

There were some bones scattered around that had been gnawed clean.

These bones are very distinctive, and with just a quick glance you can tell the difference between them and ordinary bones.

What this person meant was to ask the other three people whether this was the place where they had stayed some time ago?

After being reminded by this person, the other three people also noticed the difference here.

After a while of this, one of them walked towards the tree.

Then he dug out some bones from the edge of one of the stones with his hands.

He buried these bones in the pit he dug that day!

This subtle thing fully demonstrated that what they had just guessed was completely correct!

They had actually stayed here before!

The confirmation of this matter immediately made the people of the Sharp Tooth Tribe feel extremely surprised.

This is really too surprising!

The Son of God and his companions did not follow the direction and path that he and others had said, but now it seems that the path they took was actually the right one!
