C4 Test

The next day at dawn, the children who had attended the coming of age ceremony gathered in front of the old Village Head's house and waited quietly.

Today, they had to go out to work, so all the children who attended the coming of age ceremony were well-prepared. Not long after, the men who came to take them away also came over.

The Old Village Chief was waiting here with the children. When he saw the man come, he got up and walked over, saying, "You will lead the children. You also have a lot of experience, so I won't repeat it. You can go now."

Perhaps it was to recuperate, but the old elder did not choose to go out and stay at home. Perhaps it was to take care of some matters in the village, or perhaps someone had made an appointment in advance for the old elder to do something for him.

After saying this, the old Village Head returned to his own room, the men also led the children out of the mountain village.

As soon as they left the village, the children began to look all around, obviously very curious. Because there were many fathers with children, it wasn't difficult to have a large number of children.

Along the way, Tie Xiaoyan quietly listened to the children's questions, then quietly listened to their fathers' answers and silently noted them down in his heart.

It was almost the same time as what Tie Xiaoyan had predicted. It had been half a day since he had arrived at the foothold. He was going to travel far, so he had to wait at the foothold.

After everything was ready, the men started a fire to cook, and at that time, the children would come forward to watch and learn.

This was another thing that the old Village Chief had instructed, and that was to ask the children to study while they were out on an internship, and to test them when they returned to the village. The good ones would be rewarded, and the bad ones would have to find someone else to practice with until they met the requirements.

The men's culinary skills were definitely not as good as the women's, so the children were all grimacing in pain. Although Tie Xiaojun felt a little uncomfortable, he still endured it.

"You brats have really been spoiled for too long. If you don't change your habits, then you'll suffer in the future." A young man looked at the painful expressions on the children's faces and could not help but think of himself as the same as them. He could not help but start to teach them a lesson.

"Hehe, today is only the first day, so there's no rush. This kind of thing needs to be experienced, and it needs to be slowly corrected." Another elderly man chuckled and said.

After the old man finished speaking, the young man snorted and no longer spoke. It was obvious that he respected the old man a lot.

"Alright, after you finish eating, get ready to rest. After that, we'll set out on our journey. Then, all of you think about how you should prepare this simple meal." When it was time to eat, the leader of the men said.

"Uncle, why didn't my mother learn how to cook? It must be easy for uncles to learn, right? " A boy who obviously couldn't stand the smell asked.

Hearing that, the leader was startled at first, but then laughed out loud: "Calling you brats brats brats is right, you have only just reached adulthood, your brains are still as simple as before, don't you know that our cooking speed is very fast? There are many dangers in the wild, and the reason why we cook so fast is so that we can quickly extinguish the fire. We don't care about the taste, it's fine as long as it is edible. "

After the leader said that, he looked at the boy and saw that his face was still filled with doubt and pain. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Go ahead and rest. You won't understand even if I explain it to you now."

"Oh." The boy really couldn't understand, but since the leader said so, he didn't think about it anymore.

As Tie Xiaoyan listened, he also understood why they had to cook such a horrible meal. He guessed that this should be the easiest dish to cook. It was a bit unpalatable, but it was enough to fill the stomach.

Touching his belly, Tie Xiaolian walked towards the simple tent he had just learned how to set up.

"It's really magical. I only ate a little bit, yet my stomach is already so bloated. It seems like there really are a lot of magical items out there!" Lying inside the tent, Tie Xiaoyan became more curious about the outside world.

An hour later, Tie Xiaoyan was called out by someone. After exiting the tent, he saw that everyone was gathered at the entrance of the base.

"Is everyone here?" the leader asked when he saw Tie Xiao Jun had arrived.

"Mm. I've counted the people. Everyone is here. We can set off now." The man who woke Tie Xiao-jun up said.

Nodding his head, the leader waved his hand and said, "Alright, let's go! We're heading down the mountain! "

Soon after, the group majestically headed down the mountain. Due to the steep terrain, even though the journey seemed short, several hours had passed. By the time they arrived at the foot of the mountain, it was already near dusk.

"Yes, it's here." The leader brought the group to the closest iron ore mine to the base.

I will cover up how to mine steel with you, so you all need to learn by yourselves, what you learn will determine the speed at which you mine steel, you all know it, after that, the old village chief will check the quantity of steel mining you have done to give you your score, in the end, add on some other results to judge your overall result, and then decide who to give the reward to, if you want to get the reward, you all should work well! Finishing this sentence, the leader took out a steel hoe from his bag and began to make slow movements. The children watched quietly from the surroundings while Tie Xiao-jun chose the nearest spot to watch carefully.

The leader narrated very slowly and took around one hour to complete the teaching. Obviously, the leader was an experienced person, whether in terms of movement or theory, the leader described everything very clearly and orderly, which made it easy for Tie Xiaoyan and the others to understand.

"Alright, the teaching will end here, and the rest will be up to you guys. Come to my place later to claim the hoe, this is something from the village and not for you, so you have to take good care of it. If there are any problems with returning it, remember to report it to me." The leader took out a hoe and said as he looked at the eager children.

After the children had finished with their hoes, the leader said, "You can choose the area and go find the iron ore mine, but don't go too far. Because the map isn't enough, we can't give you a map right now. Do you remember all of it?"

"I'll remember it!" The children shouted loudly.

"Alright, let's begin then. We'll gather here in three days." After the leader said this, he led the men and left. He had always wanted to mine the mines. After all, it was impossible for the village to rely on the strength of the children to obtain steel. The main force would definitely be the men.

Watching the leader lead the men away, the children also separated, some in groups, some moving alone.

Holding the hoe, Tie Xiao-jun was ready to advance towards his goal, but when he raised his head, he saw a scene he really wanted to laugh about.

After that experience of apologizing, no one else was willing to stay with him and listen to his words. Tie Daniu, who liked to let others do things, was also flustered at this moment. He held a hoe and didn't know what to do.

When Tie Xiao Jun looked at Tie Da Niu, Tie Da Niu had also noticed the others' gazes. He turned around and saw Tie Xiao Jun, at first it was an accident, but it quickly turned into hatred, and looking at that look that made Tie Xiao Jun want to eat someone, Tie Xiao Jun could not help but smile, and said: "Tsk, tsk, I already said that you would do it yourself if you had the ability. You don't even know how to imitate him? "

At first, he didn't want to say anything to Tie Daniu, but when he thought of how the Old Village Chief loved Tie Daniu and how the Old Village Chief usually treated him well, he decided to provoke Tie Daniu and whether or not it was effective, was not something he was worried about.

After leaving Tie Daniu, Tie Xiaoyan continued to walk towards the destination. After confirming that there was no one around, he slowed down his pace, raised his head to look around for a relatively tall hill, and climbed up to confirm his destination.

After arriving at the destination, Tie Xiaoyan wanted to give up as he saw the scene in front of his eyes. Because they weren't far from the camp, they would definitely be overturned by someone, and this was indeed the case. As for whether there was any fine iron or steel, they needed to search further.

After an hour, the sky had gradually darkened. Tie Xiao Jun had searched through every nook and cranny of the place, but he still hadn't found what he was looking for.

"Forget it, the production of fine steel requires time, and the people in the village have to come out every day to mine steel. There definitely won't be any left here." After that, he looked up at the sky and realized that it was already quite dark, so he decided to find a place to stay first, and then mine some steel from here. Because there were many people who came here, there weren't many left, and Tie Xiaoyan was only doing this to complete his mission, otherwise, he would have to spend all his time searching for fine iron and steel, he was afraid that he would not make it in time.

On the other hand, if he looked carefully, he would find that there were people who had lived there before. Logically, there should be a lot of people who had come here because it was the closest one, but after thinking for a bit, Tie Xiaoyan thought that most of the iron and steel here had been mined, so no one came here anymore.
