It's winter time, the snowflakes haven't fallen yet, but the weather has become colder.
When I woke up in the morning and stood on the sailboat, looking towards both sides of the river, I could see a layer of white frost, which looked like snow.
On the banks of the river, some places not leeward were already covered with a thin layer of ice.
Feeling the cold weather and looking at the thin layer of ice, Xiong Youpi and others felt a sense of urgency in their hearts.
After a long journey, they are now back in the river. If they can't get back to the tribe before the river is completely frozen, they want to tell the good news that they and others have been brought back to Champa Dao.
The Son of God in the main tribe will have to wait until next spring.
After waiting for such a long time, they all felt extremely uncomfortable and scratched their hearts.
It's just that this boat carries so many things, and this sailboat is so precious. This voyage has already resulted in the loss of a sailboat that the tribe spent a lot of effort to build.
, losing one ship is really heartbreaking.
Therefore, even though they were extremely anxious and wanted to rush back to the main tribe as soon as possible, Xiong Youpi and others still remained patient and drove the sailboat towards the Hukou residential area at the original speed.
I just prayed that the weather would not suddenly become too cold and the entire river would be covered with ice.
In this case, it will be too difficult for them.
Of course, what they are worried about is not that the river from here to the Hukou residential area will be frozen, but that the river from the Hukou residential area upstream to the main tribe will be frozen.
After all, the river surface up there is much narrower than down here.
In the secret prayers of Xiong Youpi and others, the sailing ship that had gone out to sea and experienced the wind and waves carried them and the things they brought all the way up. After a few days, they arrived at the Hukou residential area.
People in the Hukou residential area immediately cheered when they saw Xiong Youpi and others returning in a sailboat.
However, when they saw that there were only five sailboats left, one less ship, the cheers suddenly stopped.
Many people's hearts suddenly sank to the bottom.
After Xiong Youpi and the others shouted loudly on the ship, saying that it was just a ship that sank and there were no casualties, these people breathed a sigh of relief and became happy again.
When they knew that Xiong Youpi and others had encountered the Champa rice mentioned by the Son of God on this trip and had brought it back, their joy suddenly became even more intense!
Many people couldn't help but shout loudly. The excitement and joy were even stronger than during the Chinese New Year!
After staying here for half a day, with no time to do more repairs, Xiong Youpi proposed to take people and some Champa rice from the Hukou residential area to the main tribe to bring the good news back to the main tribe.
The tribe goes.
Let the people of the main tribe also be happy and happy.
In this 21st year of life, Qingque is living an even happier life.
This can be regarded as a New Year's gift that I and others brought back to the tribe.
After hearing about Xiong Youpi and others' plan, people living in the Hukou residential area also nodded, saying that this should indeed be done.
So everyone started to get busy.
The people in the Hukou residential area did not let people like Xiong Youpi who had returned from a long voyage take action. They said that their trip back was already hard enough. They had fought through life and death for the tribe. Now that they are back here, they have
Now, leave these things to them, and they will definitely be able to do them well!
Such words and actions made Xiong Youpi and others feel warm in their hearts.
This is their Qingque tribe!
These are the people from their Qingque tribe!
No matter how far you come back from, you can feel the warmth when you meet people in the tribe.
This is something you can’t experience in other tribes and other places!
Moved by Xiong Youpi and others, the people in the Hukou residential area unloaded some of the rice brought back by Xiong Youpi and others from the sailboat, and then carried it on their backs along the river bank here.
The opened road passed the rumbling Hukou Waterfall and was loaded onto a small sailboat located some distance upstream of the Hukou Waterfall.
Also loaded on it were some supplies needed during the voyage.
After a lot of work, Xiong Youpi and others boarded the three sailing ships that had been properly arranged by the tribesmen.
These three sailboats are small sailboats. Of course, it is impossible to load all the Champa rice and many other things brought back by Xiong Youpi and others.
Only a small portion of these can be shipped.
It is impossible for all people to go back, only some people can go back.
But this is enough for people like Xiong Youpi.
This was enough for them to convey the joyful news to the main tribe.
Lame, the best carpenter in the tribe, also boarded the sailing ship returning home.
He no longer wants to spend time in the Hukou residential area this year and wants to return to the main tribe.
The Qingque Lord Tribe is like a root to the people of the Qingque Tribe.
Compared with the ordinary Qingque people, the veteran Qingque tribe members who already existed when Han Cheng came here have a deeper attachment to the main tribe.
Although they know that this place is also part of the tribe and belongs to their Qingque tribe, in terms of feeling, they always feel that it is not as good as the main Qingque tribe.
It doesn't have that feeling over there.
Lame, who is no longer young, has a very high status in the tribe, which he has earned through his own hard work and ability.
If he wants to go back, naturally no one can stop him.
On the contrary, someone will reserve the best position for him.
The boat was loaded in the afternoon. Xiong Youpi and others did not stop. That afternoon, they took the boat and headed upstream.
While the river is not frozen, if you can sail a little higher, sail a little higher.
The weather has become colder. In the morning, the morning breeze blows on people's faces, which makes people feel a little painful.
The ice on both sides of the river extends further into the river.
The sun shines on it, reflecting a dazzling light.
Xiong Youpi and others, who were driving a small sailboat towards the tribe, also became more anxious.
At the beginning, after a day of sunshine, the ice that formed could melt by 7,788%.
But later on, the ice melted less.
Then after a night of cold, the ice layer will once again extend towards the middle of the river based on the original foundation.
At this time, Xiong Youpi and others had only walked about half of the journey.
After another two days, the entire river surface was covered with ice in some of the windward areas above the river.
However, the ice is not thick at this time, and the sailboat can crush it if it collides with it.
But this is enough to make people like Chest Youpi worried.
Two days later, their fleet arrived at the Fire Tribe, which had already surrendered.
As the leader of the Fire Tribe, Chen was very happy to see Xiong Youpi and others returning.
After learning about the wishes of Xiong Youpi and others, Chen, an old man in the tribe, immediately took action without any ambiguity.
He mobilized some of the tribe's rowing experts and asked them to drive the boat and follow the side of the sailboat.
It is indeed possible to keep up, because these small boats are connected to the larger ship with ropes.
There is no need to row along the way, just relying on the driving force of the sailboat to move forward together.
In addition to people, there are poles, hammers, shovels and other things on these small boats.
After the ship sailed forward for a certain distance, it once again encountered a section of the river that was blocked by ice.
So the people on the small boat sent by Chen untied the ropes on the small boat, supported the boat to the front of the sailboat, and began to use the tools in their hands to break the ice.
Smash all the ice to allow sailing ships to pass.
Xiong Youpi and the others stood on the large sailboat and looked at the people holding the small boat struggling to break the ice. Once again, they were filled with emotion in their hearts.
This is their Qingque tribe!
These are the people from their Qingque tribe!
Condensed into a rope, the energy is directed in one place!!
After sailing upward for another three days, the water surface of the river became even narrower.
Correspondingly, more ice formed on the river.
In the past, the entire river surface was covered with ice only in some places that were not sheltered from the wind. Now, basically all river surfaces are covered with ice.
There is more ice that needs to be broken.
Seeing this situation, Xiong Youpi did not hesitate, and immediately called to the people on the sailboat, replaced the people from the Fire Tribe, and started to break the ice with them.
Xiong Youpi said with a smile: "This is our common thing, we can't just let you work here while we idle there!
It’s really cold just hanging out on the boat!”
In this way, with the efforts of Xiong Youpi and others, the fleet moved upstream little by little, slowly approaching the main Qingque tribe. This made all the Qingque tribe members feel moved.
A place full of dreams...
There were some fine snowflakes falling from the sky, and the weather became colder.
Han Cheng came to the edge of the tribe's dock, stood here, and looked towards the east.
The entire river has been frozen.
In the past, the ice surface, which was reflective and crystal clear under the sunlight, now becomes white as these snowflakes fall.
It has become very cold and the river has frozen.
Even if Xiong Youpi and other voyagers are able to successfully return this year, they will only spend the winter in the Hukou residential area and will not return to the main tribe.
Han Cheng thought this in his heart and instinctively felt a little anxious.
After all, those who set sail on long sea voyages were from their own tribe.
Moreover, it is still the only fleet in the tribe so far.
Unable to get their news as quickly as possible, he always felt uneasy.
It's just that now the river has been frozen, and the news will be frozen along with the frozen river. It won't be transmitted again until the spring of next year. It's useless for him to worry now.
After watching here for a while, Han Cheng could only return to the tribe helplessly...
"Son of God!"
"Son of God!"
"Son of God!"
"Xiong Youpi and the others are back! Xiong Youpi and the others are back!!"
At ten o'clock in the afternoon, the snow fell more densely, and the light snow in the morning turned into heavy snow, which continued to fall from the sky in a flurry.
It was at this time that someone started shouting out of surprise.
When Han Cheng heard the shout, he stood up suddenly and came outside the house, his heart full of excitement and joy.
Just taking a look at the pure whiteness on the ground and the falling snowflakes in the sky, I couldn't believe it for a moment.
After all, the weather was already very cold at this time. When he went to the pier by the river this morning, the entire place was blocked by ice.
How could Xiong Youpi and others come to the main tribe at this time?
"Son of God, Xiong Youpi and others are back! They broke through the ice and walked up. The boat stopped about ten miles away from the tribe. They landed from there, and then went all the way to the main tribe...
…”
When the visitor saw Han Cheng's expression, he immediately understood what the Son of God was thinking and quickly explained.
When Han Cheng heard what he said, he suddenly became aware.
"These guys! They're just fooling around!"
He said this in his mouth, then speeded up and followed this person, speeding up and heading outside...
At this moment, the entire Qingque Lord tribe became excited. Many people walked out of the room and quickly went outside the tribe.
To greet Xiong Youpi and others who came all the way through the ice during this time.
Han Cheng hadn't gone far out of the tribe when he saw Xiong Youpi and others covered in snowflakes and carrying some things on their backs.
When these people saw Han Cheng, their faces immediately showed innocent smiles, and they were particularly cheerful.
"Son of God, this is Champa rice! We found it and brought it back!!"
After meeting Han Cheng, the people in the fleet, led by Xiong Youpi, put down the things they were carrying, opened the bags, and revealed the shelled rice inside.
Full of smiles and some excitement, she said loudly to Han Cheng.
Han Cheng's eyes fell on the rice. He bent down, reached out and took out a handful and put it in front of his eyes, looking at it carefully.
After doing this for a while, he became full of smiles.
He put the rice back into his pocket, glanced at Xiong Youpi and the others one by one, and said happily: "Okay! That's great! You have made great contributions to the tribe this time!!
I never thought that you could really find Champa rice! And bring it back!!"
