《Rise of America 1620》Chapter 19: Deep in the Forest
Advertisement
"It's still early, we don't want it first." William looked at the sky, it was just after nine o'clock, and it was still very early. "Two pheasants and a rabbit are not enough to eat, let's hunt some more.
After a bit of banter, William sat down on his butt and suggested with a crooked head.
Emma, of course, did not want to be so early, she is now at the age of playfulness.
"I have a place with lots of prey," Emma said happily to William.
Emma said happily to William.
Since Emma's animals are often in the area, it's a good thing.
This saves William and the others a lot of trouble.
"I want to leave a little mark here, this is the first time you came with me to play in the secret mushroom garden," said Emma.
Emma took a small white stone out of her coat pocket and found a black rock and drew it on the flat surface of the rock.
The Indians now have a habit of scribbling on rocks or cliffs, which William found interesting. He walked away, intending to see how the little girl's "scribble" looked.
However, when Emma took out the small white stone from her pocket, William's eyes went wide, as if he had seen something incredible.
"Emma, can you show me the little stone in your hand?
William looked a bit agitated, his voice had a trembling tone.
The small stone had a ring of gold-colored metal that was shining with a unique luster in the reflection of the sun.
Emma stopped her "doodling" and looked back at William who was excited, and passed the white stone with her raised right hand, "This is a nice one, I have a lot of them in one place.
Emma felt that 'Zhao's brother's reaction today, was too strange.
It's just some small stones, this kind of stone can leave white marks on the black rocks, it's useless.
The children of the tribe do not like this kind of stone, only like to scribble and draw so they will pick up a few pieces.
Has this big brother never seen this kind of stone?
Well, if that's the case, let's take him to that place and pick up a few more.
Emma felt a little funny, but at the same time, she thought William was cute too.
Oh my God, an 11 or 12-year-old Indian girl, actually think William this 15-year-old boy is cute, if this lets William know the little girl's idea, I guess he will not burrow a hole in the ground to die of shame ah.

William may not little girl Emma's thoughts, he is now looking down at the small white stone in his hands, his expression serious and serious, the small white stone in his hands constantly playing with, while his mind kept thinking up.
Well, the exterior of the stone is wrapped in gold-colored material, if you do not see it should be gold.
The sunlight cast down, through the branches of the forest, and the golden luster flashes suddenly eye-catching and makes the heart tremble.
This should be quartz stone!
Soon, William will have a preliminary judgment.
Seeing William silent, staring at the stone. The little girl Emma no longer makes a sound, she is very quietly standing at the side of William, tilting his head to look at this little brother.
She can not understand, this little brother for this useless stone so interested in, she does not understand ah.
Steven also walked at this time, he came to William's side and stopped and asked in a low voice chief, this is the gold does not jump words.
The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public.
"The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers. The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.
Steven shook his head and responded in a jarring voice, "I'm not a geology major, so maybe this is a rock. Steven has only elementary school education, and he sighed in defeat.
If he hadn't been selected to be a soldier, I don't think he would have had that much knowledge.
Three years as a volunteer soldier, not for nothing.
But even so, he could not William's hands what the stone is what ah.
William smiled and said to Steven that this is quartzite, this kind of stone is not. But this kind of quartzite veins usually have another kind of metal half-born out, that is gold! When he said that the quartzite vein was gold, William's face shone with excitement and glow.
"Oh, there's something like that." Steven was also interested, and it was the first time he had ever heard of such a thing. The first time I've ever seen this, I've never seen it before," Steven said, sighing in his heart.
William smiled and shook his head, did not make a sound.
This thing has nothing to do with his cultural knowledge, but because of being in the 21st century with the consultation developed, all day long when nothing to look at the Internet East and West point.

After all, in the 21st century, the Internet has developed, the consulting explosion of such an era, usually even if the geeks do not leave home will know some information that ordinary people do not understand.
After a moment of silence, William said I suspect there should be a large quartz vein nearby, and there is a gold mine. I just can't be sure of the size of this gold mine, and the difficulty of digging.
The first thing you need to do is to go and see what's going on. The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the market.
The little girl Emma listened to William and Steven's conversation, but she couldn't understand what they were talking about.
She was confused by the words "veins", "quartz" and "gold".
It's no wonder the girl couldn't understand, after all, there are almost 400 years of the time difference, the gap in knowledge and generation gap that is not ordinary big.
But the little girl saw William say let her take to find that only her place, but still very happy to respond to a sound.
"The place is only Emma's own, in this forest Emma many secrets yo. The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.
The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public.
Emma said no, other children in this forest do not like to play, even to this side of the mushroom picking will not enter the forest deep.
Only the little girl Emma bold, she likes to come alone to explore, digging deep into the deep forest secrets.
It is because of this relationship that the little girl Emma will be in a secret garden full of mushrooms, as well as a piece of "useless" quartzite veins and gold.
It must be said that William's luck is not good, the North American Indians do not value gold at all, unlike the Incas of the Caribbean coast of Central America.
And because of this, the Englishmen around Virginia did not yet own gold.
Otherwise, this place will be conquered by those Englishmen, and then began to dig a lot.
Hmph, since I'm here, then the gold here European turncoats do not think, no matter who wants to rob this gold I will not let him feel good!
Following behind the little girl Emma, William's heart turned a thousand times.
Along the creek to go deeper into the forest, about an hour's walk. On this road, William saw all kinds of small animals and birds.
Wild boar! Squirrels! Badgers! Groundhogs! Deer! Grouse! Lynx! Foxes! Coyote ......
Those small animals after William and his party, have fled into the forest. Let Emma be very disappointed because these are the prey ah.
But now William's mind is not in the hunting above, he now has to hurry to determine that piece is not a quartzite vein and is not a gold mine that exists.
If indeed, there is a gold mine, and the production is very large, then it will bring him very big benefits.
Because the business of selling gold to the time and space trader is more profitable than collecting furs.
Now the sale of furs has tended to decline, a dozen furs a day profit is too little, and the quality of these furs also varies, very headache.
But if there is a gold mine, then there will be a new income point, and in the short term bring a qualitative leap in his development.
A gram of gold 320dollar, the gold mine here can produce 50 grams of gold a day. This is still the minimum production, if the vein is rich, the production will be more.
At that time, if you want to buy genetic people, you can buy generic people, and if you want to invest in cottages, you can invest in cottages.
I think it will not take long for the tribe to expand rapidly.
After the manpower, there will be no need to worry about security problems. And the cottage got investment, it may be able to buy some machinery has been vehicles.
Hey!
The more William thought about it, the more excited he was, he felt that happiness was coming.
"The creek in front of us is going upstream, and there are a lot of rocks.
Emma, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped, pointed her finger ahead, and turned to William.
William and Steven followed the direction of Emma's finger and saw a deer drinking in front of them was frightened and was jumping into the deep of the forest.
On the branches of the yellow coral trees on both sides of the creek, the elite squirrels were sitting there watching the outsiders.
William and Wang Hu and the four genetics men embraced Emma and slowly walked away.
"Look, chief!"
Steven's eyes were so good that he saw something strange in the shallow stream at once.

Man of Earth
Magic is a terrifying force. Logic itself is subject to this energy, which is (logically speaking) impossible for us to comprehend. Every universe requires some version of magic to exist. That is, all but one. Our world functiouns based on a powerful and intricate net of laws that act independently from magical interference. The most notable of these is the human brain, which is capable of even more than its creator had thought possible. Naturally, this prompted the question: "How would a human fare in a world of magic?" Soon, there was a bet. Next, a human was selected. Finally, an odd young man with a strange black hat was introduced to his new world, and all restraints were removed.
