Chapter 801 The fangs of the rattan shield (three in one
"Bang~bang~bang~"
As Han Cheng stood up and walked towards the window, there was not much noise outside, but it was still coming in a very rhythmic manner.
With curiosity and doubts in his heart, Han Cheng came to the window and looked outside quietly.
What comes into view is a bright moonlight and the shadows of houses and trees cast onto the ground.
The inner courtyard was quiet, and nothing unusual was seen.
Han Cheng frowned slightly, then began to move slowly in front of the window, changing his angle to look outside.
After a while, when he walked to the westernmost side of the window, leaned his head against the edge of the window, and looked eastward as diagonally as possible, he saw some different scenes.
Under the bright moonlight, a figure stood in a place in the yard covered with moonlight, holding something like a large wooden board in his hand, and knocked it against a wooden stake planted there.
With every impact he made, there would be a small 'bang' sound.
Han Cheng has already recognized this person who behaves rather strangely, it is his senior brother.
He held it up to the wooden stake without using much force. What hit him was the rattan shield.
After seeing this scene, Han Cheng couldn't help but sigh softly, and then scratched his hair with his hands.
He understood the senior brother's feelings, and it was precisely because of his understanding that he wanted to come up with a best-of-both-worlds solution to solve this matter.
But how many ways to get the best of both worlds are there in this world? Many things require trade-offs.
If it really didn't work out, I told my senior brother not to rectify the Vine Shield team.
Judging from the current situation, even if no corrections are made, it will not be easy for the tribes encountered to gain any advantage over their own tribes in terms of arms and equipment.
But this method is probably a bit mysterious.
It's not because Han Cheng can't make up his mind or make this decision, but based on his understanding of his senior brother, after knowing that Vine Shield and the Vine Shield team are useless to the current tribe, even if he said it himself
If the Vine Shield Team is retained, the senior brother himself will not agree.
As one of the earliest members of the entire tribe, and also the leader of the tribe, the eldest brother, a usually unassuming person, loves and contributes as much to the tribe as the others.
Even more than Han Chengdu, he loves this tribe that is getting stronger day by day.
Han Cheng sighed secretly again and did not directly go out to persuade the senior brother to forgive him. Going out to talk to the senior brother at this time would only make him embarrassed.
Moreover, sometimes you can only rely on yourself to get through hurdles like this, and others can't help much.
Han Cheng stood here and watched for a while, then quietly returned to the kang.
He lay there with his eyes open and continued to think about things.
The vague "bang bang" sound outside didn't know when it stopped, but Han Cheng's mind was still filled with the image of the senior brother holding a shield and hitting the wooden pile one by one under the moonlight, which lingered in his mind.
I don't know how much time passed like this, but Han Cheng, who seemed a little confused, suddenly had a light in his mind.
Just now, he suddenly realized a misunderstanding about the shield!
This misunderstanding is that I have always regarded the shield as a defensive weapon, but I have forgotten that the shield can also be used to attack people!
For example, just now, the senior brother held a shield in his hand and hit the pile. This is a way to use the shield to attack.
It's just that because the outside of the shield is too flat, even if it hits a person, the damage will be far less than the damage caused by sharp weapons such as bronze swords.
Therefore, whether it was Han Cheng or the senior brother who often used the vine shield, they subconsciously ignored the fact that the vine shield could not only be used for defense, but also for attack.
Now that Han Cheng realized this, the problem that had troubled him for a long time was suddenly solved!
Since the damage caused by the vine shield hitting the body is too small because the outside of the vine shield is too flat, wouldn't it be enough to make the outside of the vine shield less flat?
For example, you can install some four- to five-centimeter-long bronze spikes on the outside of the rattan shield. People with strong strength can install more on the shield in their hands.
With the existence of these bronze thorns, if you use such a shield to hit people...
Han Cheng couldn't help but shudder when he thought about that scene.
If there are enough bronze thorns on the shield, and the enemy is hit by such a shield, wouldn't the person who was hit become a sieve after such a blow?
A ladle of water is poured down, and then it leaks everywhere like a showerhead...
In this way, these vine shields become weapons for both offense and defense!
And compared to the armor worn on the body, the rattan shield still has certain advantages.
That is, once such shields are connected together, they can immediately erect a wall in front of the military formation, and it is also a wall that can move forward like a hedgehog!
Because when the vine shield was first made, the Qingque tribe did not have armor, so in order to maximize the defensive ability of the vine shield, when making the vine shield, it was made as high and wide as possible.
This creates the current appearance of the Qingque tribe's vine shield - the person carrying the vine shield only needs to bend down slightly, and the whole person can be completely covered by the vine shield.
This kind of shield array is usually very difficult to break, but now the vine shield is equipped with bronze thorns...
Just thinking of the scene of a line of spiked shield walls advancing rapidly towards the enemy, Han Chenggong felt a little helpless for the future enemies of the Qingque tribe...
After coming up with such a method, Han Cheng became very excited.
He originally wanted to go out to find his senior brother at this time and tell him the good news, but after listening carefully for a while, the sound of rattan shields hitting wooden piles in the yard no longer sounded. He walked to the window and looked outside for a while.
I didn't see the figure of the senior brother, so he probably went back to his room and fell asleep.
The night is already very deep at this time, and the autumn grain harvest will continue tomorrow.
If you perform heavy labor during the day and don't sleep well at night, you will easily become unable to bear it.
For the sake of his senior brother's health, Han Cheng decided to wait until tomorrow before talking to his senior brother about the matter.
Han Cheng, who was lying on the kang again, was lying there thinking about these things.
The tangled things in his heart now have a good solution, and he fell asleep not long after...
"Son of God, please disband the Vine Shield Team..."
The next morning, Han Cheng had just gotten up and before he had time to wash up, his senior brother came over on his own initiative.
And before Han Cheng could say anything, he had already taken the initiative to talk to Han Cheng about disbanding the Vine Shield Team.
The senior brother's eyes were bloodshot and his energy seemed a little sluggish. It seemed that he had not slept well at night.
If the senior brother had come to talk about this matter like this before last night, Han Cheng would still feel uncomfortable, but now, he doesn't feel uncomfortable at all.
"There is no need to disband Team Vine Shield."
Han Cheng said to his senior brother with a smile on his face.
The senior brother was stunned when he heard this, and then he immediately came to his senses.
This was because the Son of God saw how uncomfortable he was, so he changed his decision.
But when there is armor, there is really no need for the vine shield to exist.
After realizing this, the senior brother's eyes, which were originally red, became even redder.
"Son of God, it's okay, let's disband..."
The senior brother said to Han Cheng with red eyes and a smile, his attitude was very firm.
Looking at the senior brother's state at this time, Han Cheng basically understood what the senior brother was thinking.
"No, I have thought of a way to make the vine shield better and make it more lethal!"
Han Cheng said to his senior brother with a smile.
The senior brother who was very resolute at first suddenly became no longer resolute.
"real?"
After being stunned for a while, he looked at Han Cheng with surprise and some doubts, and asked aloud.
He immediately realized that his behavior was inappropriate.
On major matters, the Son of God has never made a mistake in these years. Now that the Son of God says there is a way, there must be a way.
Although I have been thinking of a solution these days but have not found one, my wisdom is obviously different from that of the Son of God.
"Of course it's true!"
Han Cheng smiled and stretched out his hand to hold his senior brother on his mouth, pulling away the hand that had just made a mistake and speaking with great certainty.
"As long as some sharp points are cast on the front, thick bronze thorns are pierced on the back, and they are installed on the outside of the rattan shield..."
As soon as Han Cheng's words came out, senior brother's bloodshot eyes suddenly lit up!
As someone who often uses vine shields and hits people with them, he quickly realized that once he did what Shenzi said and put some sharp bronze thorns on the outside of the shield, the vine shield would
What a powerful attack power it will have!
Seeing the senior brother standing there with a surprised look on his face, Han Cheng felt very happy and turned around to wash up, leaving the senior brother who had been thinking too much for a while to be pleasantly surprised.
"God...Son of God, this is really okay!"
"Attach bronze thorns to the vine shield, and I will hit it forward with the vine shield..."
The senior brother who usually doesn't talk too much has become a complete talker at this moment.
Han Cheng squatted there holding a cup to brush his teeth. He followed Han Cheng, talking excitedly.
There he was talking about all the benefits that he could think of, the vine shield equipped with bronze thorns. Even though Han Cheng, who was squatting there and brushing his teeth, didn't say a word, the senior brother was still getting more and more excited as he talked.
"Son of God, I'm going to cut the grain!"
After washing, Han Cheng was just about to tell his senior brother something more about this kind of shield. The senior brother, who was already extremely excited, shouted at Han Cheng, turned around and ran away like the wind.
Han Cheng couldn't help but smile when he saw this state of being resurrected as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
After settling this matter, the Qingque tribe's autumn harvest was filled with only the joy of exhaustion.
Han Cheng got up a little late. After washing and feeding the chickens, ducks, geese, and rabbits raised in the yard, the people who had gotten up at dawn and went to the fields to harvest millet also came back with sickles.
The rice in the tribe has also been prepared at this time, a thick millet porridge that won't fall over with chopsticks, served with some cold dishes, and each person eats half a cut salted egg, which is light but appetizing.
After breakfast and a short rest, everyone went to the fields again. Han Cheng did not stay in the tribe this time. He put on a straw hat and went to the fields with everyone, and walked into the fields full of hope and harvest...
"puff!"
Night fell again, covering the surrounding areas, and the bright moon in the sky became fuller and appeared as promised.
Under the silver-white moonlight, the eldest brother held the vine shield that had been equipped with 'fangs' in his hand and slammed it towards the straw man wrapped in a layer of skin in front of him.
The animal skin only blocked it slightly, but the sharp bronze thorns on it had already penetrated.
When the eldest brother removed the vine shield that was almost at the same level as his neck, the onlookers gathered around to watch.
Looking at the five holes punctured on the straw man's body, and then looking at the vine shield that shone with a cold light in the moonlight, the crowd onlookers couldn't help but gasp.
Encountering such an enemy who is unable to defeat and has extremely strong attack power will really make people desperate!
Even some people in the Changge Team want to join the Vine Shield Team.
The people in the Vine Shield Team looked at the fanged Vine Shield with eager eyes. They wished they could equip their own Vine Shields with these things right now.
"When the autumn harvest is over and all the grain is put into the warehouse, we start to cast more bronze thorns and install them on the vine shields..."
Han Cheng announced to everyone, and there was a burst of excited responses like wolf howls...
Motivated by things like transforming the Vine Shield, everyone who was already very active became even more active at this time, especially those in the Vine Shield team, each and every one of them was like a chicken blood...
Thanks to everyone's efforts, the amount of millet in the fields is decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Inside the threshing floor, hills composed of grain stalks were piled up.
The granary in the tribe also quickly became full...
When more than half of the millet has been harvested, the newly planted peas this year have also matured.
So Han Chenggong assigned a group of people to harvest this new food that had fallen from green birds.
Han Cheng had high expectations for these peas.
The days passed by in such a busy manner, and it was already more than a month later when the Qingque tribe had harvested all the grain, sorted it, dried it and put it in the warehouse.
During the autumn harvest that lasted for more than a month, everyone in the tribe lost weight. However, in contrast, after all the old granaries in the tribe were filled, the two rows of newly built granaries were filled.
.
The grain cellar was built last year, and this winter, we can finally store grain in it!
When the food entered the warehouse, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The next step is easy. All you need to do is harvest the hemp that has begun to lose its leaves, bundle it into bundles and press it in the retting pond for a good retting. Basically, you are done.
As soon as the work in the fields was completed, someone wanted to continue building the Bronze Expressway, and they were even more diligent than Han Cheng, a man from later generations.
Han Cheng did not agree, but forcibly gave the people in the tribe a three-day holiday to let everyone have a good rest.
After all, humans are humans after all and cannot be treated like animals. A certain amount of rest is still very necessary.
Forehead……
Treating people as animals is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is treating animals as people...
After the three-day long holiday began, the Qingque tribe, which had been busy for more than a month, suddenly became more relaxed.
In such free days, people either went to the open-air bathhouse to take a bath or trimmed their long hair.
Some people who couldn't sit still carried baskets to pick the ripe fruits.
"Quack quack..."
The duck eggs collected from the future Wild Duck Station have been hatched by the drunken old rooster.
Successfully promoted to a duck mother, she led a group of ducklings to walk in the specially built duck house. From time to time, she would pick up some food she found from the ground, put it back on the ground, tilt her head and cry "coo"
.
And once it makes such a cry, the group of godsons hatched by it and crossing species will fly towards it with their short legs, like small balls rolling on the ground, and then go
Grab food.
When someone approaches the duck house, this guy will even scream "coo", half-open its wings, and squat on the ground with its feathers fluffy.
The ducklings scattered around would scream in panic and quickly get under the wings of the old rooster, seeking protection from this special mother duck.
Some naughty little ducks will also have a small head emerging from under the rooster's feathers, looking at the surrounding scenery with novelty and a bit of natural blankness.
Han Cheng has no plans to let these little ducks and the chickens next door roam freely in recent years.
On the one hand, these guys are not as intelligent as dogs and do not understand the profound truth of not peeing anywhere.
On the other hand, Han Cheng is worried that once he releases them, they will never come back again...
On the outer wall, there are people wearing bamboo hats and leather gloves, cutting down the honeycombs with bamboo knives.
Four or five meters away from them, there were some minors who were sucking their fingers, looking eagerly at the cut-off hive, eager to share some food.
The sweet taste is something that no one can get enough of.
But compared to the population of the tribe, the honey currently available is still too little.
One person cannot eat it more than once a year.
Many people yearn for the sweet taste, especially children.
Han Cheng still remembers the taste of the fruit candy that was bitten in half when he was a child.
Use the head of her head to push the fruit candy back and forth in your mouth, listen to the clattering sound of the candy cubes colliding with your teeth, and your taste buds are stimulated by the sweet taste. The joy and satisfaction are really unforgettable.
In the era when Han Cheng was a child, children were so rare for candy, let alone the minors of the Qingque tribe today.
Although the life of the tribe is pretty good now, it is still much simpler than when Han Cheng was a child. At least in terms of snacks, it is far inferior to what it was when Han Cheng was a child.
At that time, Han Cheng had candy cubes, melon seeds, spicy strips, instant noodles, bubble gum, popsicles, wah ha ha...
But now the tribe has nothing that can be called snacks except canned food and some honey and dried meat that are not often given to them.
Seeing the underage children in the tribe drooling while looking at the cut honeycomb, Han Cheng sniffed, no matter how hard it was, the children couldn't be tortured!
Han Cheng didn't have the ability to make things like melon seeds, spicy strips, and wah-haha. He couldn't make things like popsicles either without a refrigerator or with relatively high-purity saltpeter.
However, you can still try fruit candies.
Although he had never done this before, seeing how the minors in the tribe stared at the beehive with such greedy expressions, Han Cheng felt that it was still necessary to try it.
Even if it is unsuccessful, at most it will be a waste of fruit and time.
Nowadays, the tribe is no longer in the state of being unable to open the pot, and relying on the fruits harvested and stored in autumn to survive in winter. Some fruits are still wasted.
As for time...
What Han Cheng lacks most now is time.
Not to mention the rest, just without these three things: mobile phone, computer, and novels, Han Cheng can have a lot of free time every day.
Just do what you say and procrastinate is not the style of primitive people.
After making this decision, Han Cheng walked towards the other side of the tribe.
There, some people were peeling some fruits they had picked, cleaning them and preparing them for canning.
Under the leadership of Han Cheng, who relied on his hands to build the tribe bit by bit to the current appearance that is the envy of many tribes, the people of the Qingque tribe basically understand one truth.
That is, a good life cannot come in vain. Only by working with your hands can you have more and better things and make the tribe better day by day.
Therefore, this has gradually formed a habit that many people cannot take time off from.
Although Han Cheng said he would take a three-day holiday, many people in the tribe were still doing something after bathing, getting a haircut and shaving.
Just like picking fruits and canning them.
In their opinion, these things are not tiring.
Han Cheng said it several times, and they all smiled and said it was okay and they were not tired.
Facing the tribesmen with such good habits, Han Cheng could only helplessly let it go.
"Give me this bowl of fruit and cut it into small pieces with a knife."
Han Cheng pointed to one of the basins of peeled fruits and said to these people.
Naturally, these people listened to Han Cheng's words, and immediately cut the fruits into small pieces according to Han Cheng's request.
After cutting them like this for a while, someone asked out of curiosity what they were doing by cutting the fruits into such small pieces.
Because in the past, when making cans, the fruit was cut into four pieces at most, but now Shenzi asked them to cut the fruits into pieces like this. Could it be that they were making a kind of canned food in small pieces?
"Instead of making canned food, I want to try to make a kind of food called fruit candy. When made, it will be very sweet and delicious."
