survival in the wilderness

Chapter 177 Limestone

Lin Yan walked to Yun Qing's side, "They don't understand what we say, and we don't understand what they say. I can't speak well, and I can't communicate. Let's tie them up first."

Yun Qing nodded, and asked someone to bring the hemp rope, and he was about to tie him up.

Seeing this situation, the two rough men immediately resisted, holding wooden sticks and waving at them indiscriminately, not letting anyone approach them.

Unafraid of the wooden stick, Yun Qing and the others rushed forward, subdued him with two or three blows, and tied him up with hemp rope.

The two rough men didn't expect Yun Qing and the others to be so good at fighting, especially when they saw the sharp knives in their hands cut off the wooden stick easily, their expressions changed drastically.

One of them yelled at the shore, telling the people to leave quickly, the people on the boat were too powerful.

The person hidden in the grass heard the shout, hesitated for a while, turned around and ran away.

The night was already very dark, so let the guards look at the two people who made the surprise attack. The others were very sleepy, so go to rest first, and wait until dawn.

Early the next morning, Yun Qing ordered the three boats to stay away from the shore, waiting for those who escaped last night to return.

The two rough men were tied up and sat back to back on the deck. Lin Yan was standing in front of them eating pancakes, and Shui Sheng and the others watched around them.

Huang Ying said: "I don't understand the language, how can I communicate? Judging by their looks, they must be living a bad life. They have no clothes to wear, and they have so many scars on their bodies. They look like savages."

"We were like this before." Shui Sheng said.

Lin Yan nodded, "Yes, the life of the savages is indeed difficult. These two people and the clansman discovered us yesterday, and they are quite courageous when they come to sneak attack at night."

She walked up to the two, tore off a mouthful of pancakes, and handed them in front of them, "Want to eat?"

The two rough men who had been frightened all night were already hungry.They had already noticed the pancake in Lin Yan's hand, something they had never seen before, seeing how delicious it was, they were even more curious to try it.

Seeing the two nodding their heads, Lin Yan put the pancakes to their mouths.

After the two burly men finished eating, they stared earnestly at the half pancake left in Lin Yan's hand.

Huang Ying said, "Lin Yan, why are you giving them food? They should be hungry."

"These two people are difficult to deal with, and carrying them is also a burden, and it will add to our burden. Lin Yan, how do you plan to deal with them?" Lanyue walked over, holding three steamed buns in her hand, which was her breakfast.

The two people on the ground had just eaten a mouthful of pancakes, and they disappeared before they tasted it. Their eyes were fixed on the steamed buns in Lanyue's hands.

Huang Ying said with a smile: "These two people have really good intuition, they can find the right food at a glance."

Lin Yan looked at Lanyue's steamed buns and then at the two rough men. She pointed to the steamed buns and asked, "Want to eat?"

A rough man paused for a few seconds, as if he had come to his senses, he nodded hurriedly, stared at the steamed bun and muttered a few words.

Lin Yan took a bite of a steamed bun, pointed to the two, and then pointed to the direction they came from last night, making some gestures.

If they want to eat, they can call the tribe over.

The two rough men looked at the knife on Lan Yue's waist in fear, nodded and agreed hesitantly.

After breakfast, leaving the guards behind, Lin Yan followed Yun Qing and the others escorted the two rough men off the boat, looking for their place to live.

After walking less than [-] meters, I met a group of people head-on.They took wooden sticks, sharp stones, etc. as weapons, and were about to rush over.

The two rough men talked a lot to the crowd, Lin Yan stared at the other side, seeing their expressions gradually subside from anger, and finally stared at himself suspiciously.

The two parties talking about the chicken and the duck reached a temporary agreement, and neither of them made a move, and stared at each other vigilantly.

Lin Yan walked out of the crowd, and Lan Yue silently followed behind her, holding a big knife in her hand, ready to slash someone at any time.

With a smile on her face, Lin Yan made herself seem kind and harmless. She pointed to the two rough men, then pointed at each other and said, "We have no malicious intentions, we just want to visit your tribe."

Lan Yue reminded: "They don't understand."

"I know. But I don't understand the language, so I have to communicate." Lin Yan was also helpless.

A person behind him suddenly said, "Let me try."

Lin Yan turned his head to see that it was Shui Sheng, so she simply gave up her position.

Shuisheng slept very late last night, and communicated with the two tied people for a long time, which should be rewarding.

Then I heard Shuisheng utter a few unfamiliar words, like jumping out one by one, the pronunciation is not in the language they often speak.

This scene shocked many people. Lin Yan felt that Shui Sheng was really talented, and he learned the other party's language so quickly.

The people on the other side were even more surprised, staring at Shui Sheng suspiciously, this outsider actually said the same thing as them.

Lin Yan watched helplessly as Shui Sheng became more and more fluent from stuttering at the beginning. He seemed to have activated a mysterious skill and learned it without a teacher.

Her eyes widened, she couldn't believe that Shui Sheng could learn it so quickly.

A few minutes later, Shui Sheng said: "The place where they live is not far from here, shall we follow?"

Yun Qing said: "Ask how many of them are there?"

"I've already asked, they don't know how to count, but judging from the description, there should be quite a few of them."

Yun Qing looked at his own people, then at the group of savages on the opposite side, and said, "Follow and have a look."

Shuisheng nodded, and said something to the savages, who turned around and led the way forward.

When they arrived at the place where the savages lived, they dug a big hole at the foot of a hill. There was a low wall built of stones at the entrance of the hole, which was covered with wooden branches and so on.

Lin Yan saw the trace of burning at a glance.

Huang Ying exclaimed: "They can also make fire."

Everyone looked at the pile of burnt ash.

Yun Qing and other older people found it incredible that the people of the Sun Tribe would start a fire because Lin Yan lit the fire.But these savages can actually light fire.

Shui Sheng said: "They ignited it with sky fire, which should be caused by lightning. It was found to be used, and they have been preserved and dare not be extinguished."

Lin Yandao: "This is a group of smart people who know how to use the power of nature to change lives."

She walked to the stones piled up at the entrance of the cave, picked up a small piece of whitish stone, and felt that it was different from the stones in Sun City when she first touched it, and she could knock off the fine dross with her hands.

This is different from ordinary stones. It is much less dense, light and brittle, like a stone that has been weathered for a long time.

After reading the results given by the Science and Technology Museum, Lin Yan felt that this trip was the right one.

These stones are piled up here, which is exactly the limestone she wanted to find as an industrial raw material.

Lan Yue watched Lin Yan staring at a pile of stones for a long time, and asked, "What's the difference between these stones?"

Lin Yan smiled, "You'll know it when you touch it."

Sure enough, as soon as she got started, Lan Yue noticed the difference.This is different from the stone in Sun City, but I didn't think of the use of this stone for a while.

Lan Yue asked directly: "What is this?"

"Limestone. It is the main raw material for burning lime and cement, and it is also a flux for iron and steelmaking."
