The mined sulfur ore is filled with warehouses, but the rocky area is not too big, and the rocks containing sulfur ore are stalagmites protruding from the solidified magma rock. According to the current mining progress, Pudu Mountain will be
It doesn't seem like it will take long to mine all the sulfur in the rocky area.
In the past half month, nearly 40 villagers from Wall Village have entered the rocky area one after another and have dug out almost half of the stalagmites in that area. They want to hollow out all the stalagmites in the entire rocky area.
It can be done before the first snowfall after winter.
It is a lava river formed by the solidification of a lava river. The magma in the lower reaches of the river has completely solidified. But if you climb up Mount Pudu, you won’t have to go too far before you can see the hot magma rolling in the river. Here
There are still some stalagmites, but these stalagmites emerged from the hot lava.
The area near the magma is very hot, and it is almost impossible for ordinary people to get close to it. Therefore, even some sulfur mines in the upper reaches cannot be mined at present.
After discussing with the old village chief, Surdak decided to at least wait until the sulfur mines in this part of the rocky area were completely mined before going to Helensa City to sell the sulfur mines. As the news leaked out, villagers in other surrounding villages also
This is not the worst situation. The worst thing is that if the nobles in the city know the existence of this open-pit sulfur mine, once they submit a land application to the city hall of Helensa, I am afraid that this pustule mountain city will be destroyed.
To become the territory of a certain noble person.
Regarding whether Wall Village can get rid of poverty, Uncle Bright also repeatedly warned the villagers that they must not leak this secret.
…
Hearing that a group of bandits were scurrying into the mountains and preparing to rob the autumn crops of various villages, the old village chief, Uncle Bright, had been running around for several days in order to organize a patrol team.
For the mountain people in the desolate land of Paglos Mountain, the autumn harvest is almost the main ration for the next half of the year.
In the cold winter and dry spring, it is almost impossible to obtain any food. If you want to get food that can fill your stomach, you have to wait at least until the rainy season.
The wheat in the village has almost been harvested. There are stacks of wheat in the threshing floor, and there are also some stacks of wheat in the wheat fields on both sides of the ravine.
After the men who dug pits in Pudu Mountain came back, everyone started planning to walk into the mountain pass to collect some chestnuts. Most of the mountains within the mountain pass were the territory of the Hellanza nobles. In addition to some oak trees, there were also
There are some pine, hazel, and chestnut trees, and there are many kinds.
Of course, if anyone blatantly walks into the property of a noble nobleman to pick chestnuts and is discovered by the guards patrolling the forest, his legs will be broken easily.
After living in a deserted land for so many years, the villagers have already found some rules of survival. For example, although they cannot enter the noble territory to pick chestnuts, they can pick chestnuts in the forest belt at the junction of the two noble territories.
The division of territories between nobles is almost always calculated based on the hills, so the boundaries between their territories are not clear. In order to avoid unnecessary disputes, nobles usually reserve a public forest belt of about 100 meters at the junction of their territories.
.
Villagers living in the deserted land outside the mountain pass will go to the mountains in groups every autumn to pick chestnuts from the public forest belt, and of course other mountain products such as hazelnuts and mushrooms.
You can pick up anything in the public forest belt, but the nobles have three requirements for these naked mountain people: first, they are not allowed to hunt, second, they are not allowed to cut down trees, and third, they are not allowed to pick acorns.
Although there are few monsters in the mountains and forests, some wild boars, lynxes, and lynxes can still be seen frequently, and occasionally black bears appear. Women and children usually dare not enter the mountains and forests rashly. After the men in the village come back,
Everyone began to discuss how to go to those public forest belts to pick chestnuts, because there are more than a dozen natural villages around, and everyone will go into the mountains, so it is crucial to seize those public forest belts with rich products.
Only the most experienced hunters know where there are the most chestnut trees. In the past, the old village chief, Uncle Bright, took the lead in this matter, but this year, Uncle Bright will discuss with other village chiefs how to gradually protect the patrol, so this year
The task of leading the men into the mountains to pick chestnuts and mushrooms fell to two young men, Charlie and Luke. They had learned from the old village chief for many years, and they also had their own understanding of the mountains and forests.
What the old village chief has to deal with is the village chiefs of other villages. Now that we are facing the autumn harvest, it is a time when labor is needed everywhere. The village chiefs of each village have their own ideas in mind. The main thing is to try not to occupy the village's labor force.
It is difficult to do a good job in patrolling.
Although Surdak also wanted to go into the mountains with Rita and Natasha. In this crisp autumn weather, it was a rare opportunity to go for a walk in the mountains. However, the old village chief proposed that Surdak should stay in Wo.
In Er village, it is so that if there is news about the bandit group, Surdak can be found in time.
With him here, it was possible to deal with the bandit group and take the opportunity to report to the guard camp of Helensa City.
So...as long as the children in Wall Village who could carry the baskets went into the mountains with the adults, only a group of old people who had difficulty walking were left in the village, and they had to stay at home to take care of the smaller children.
On the threshing floor, Suldak led two horses to pull a big stone roller, pressing the wheat ears flat on the ground, which looked round like a big golden blanket. Little Peter
Running happily behind Suldak, old Sheila was always worried that little Peter would be kicked by the horse, so she tried to dissuade her while carefully protecting her from behind, but little Peter didn't listen at all.
Old Sheila had to forcefully pull the reluctant little Peter away. She also wanted to prepare lunch.
Near noon, a few old people on the threshing floor threw the scattered ears of wheat onto the golden blanket, then went home to have lunch, and then came back to collect the wheat on the threshing floor in the afternoon.
Only Suldak and Selina, who was holding a sheepskin book, were left on the threshing floor. She was responsible for counting the wheat stacks of each house. These wheat stacks could not be mixed together and rolled, but could only be separated one by one.
Only Selina knows best whose family the stack belongs to.
Surdak led the two horses to the stone trough at the edge of the grain field, removed the rope from the stone roller, and let the two horses drink some water and eat some fodder.
Selena was leaning on the edge of the wheat stack. She had also been busy all morning.
Autumn is usually very cold in the morning and evening. Selena wore a yellow wool sweater over a linen shirt and a long linen skirt, sitting against a stack of wheat.
At noon, the dazzling sunlight shone on the grain field, and the surrounding temperature suddenly rose. The sunlight made Selena's fair face blush. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and temples with a silk handkerchief...
