The autumn air is crisp and clear, and the clouds covering half of the sky are slowly moving away. They look very much like the group of grazing sheep herded by the Qingque tribe.
All things have spirituality, and these animals also feel the message that autumn is about to pass and the cold winter is coming in their own way.
Therefore, no one needs to say anything to these sheep. Each one of them is grazing hard with their head down, their mouths moving rapidly, and they are working hard to put on autumn fat to prepare themselves for the coming cold winter.
However, the leading sheep is not very peaceful. It doesn't eat grass well and always wants to run south. If someone hadn't held the rope tied to its head hard, it would have disappeared long ago.
Traces...
The riverbank, which seemed much wider than the river in front of the Qingque Tribe, was overgrown with grass and white bones. It no longer looked as dazzling as before.
There are many carnivores scattered on this wasteland. In the past, each of them was more fierce than the other, but now they seemed unusually quiet when they got together, and no one seemed to be provocative.
These beasts, which kept some distance from each other, were all like experienced hunters. From time to time, they cast their sights on the quiet other side of the river, and they were all very patient.
The only thing that made them feel a little uneasy was the group of large monkeys with weapons in their hands, which were far more numerous than before.
These big monkeys did not stay here quietly like them, but kept digging the ground with the tools in their hands, or beating with hammers, making a thumping sound at the same time, one by one.
Thick wooden stakes were nailed here firmly by them.
Immediately after the wooden stakes were driven down, someone quickly pulled ropes on them or tied a net woven with finger-thick hemp ropes.
While most of the people were busy with these things, there were still some people holding bows and arrows or sharp bronze swords in their hands, warily looking at the big guys who were very difficult to mess with once they got angry.
Although Lao Yang and others from the original sheep tribe have said more than once that as long as they don't take the initiative to provoke these guys at this time, these beasts will not take the initiative to attack people, but this is the first time that the senior brother and the others have seen this.
Those who were in the battle still couldn't let go, and felt that it would be better to arrange for some people to be on guard.
Most of the people responsible for vigilance felt itchy when they looked at these ferocious beasts.
Look at the two bears over there. They are so fat and their fur is shiny and smooth. They look very good-looking.
If you kill it, peel off the skin, salt it and spread it on the kang for the Son of God, how beautiful it would be.
I thought so, but none of these people took action. Firstly, it was because there were too many ferocious beasts here. If they made a move to cause a group attack of them, even if they were equally large in number and the weapons they carried were
Not bad, once something like this really happens, they will be the ones who have to suffer.
The second thing is that the Son of God made an explanation when he came here. The only purpose of coming here now is to arrest a lot of old sheep. They said that there are so many sheep to catch.
After coming here with this purpose, the senior brother, as the leader, also reiterated it twice. Most of them were a little reckless, but the Son of God listened very well and could also prioritize.
But despite this, these people who were on guard with weapons, or who were setting up traps on the river bank according to the instructions of the senior brother, were still a little skeptical of what Lao Yang and the others said.
It's not that they don't trust Lao Yang and the others, it's just that the scenes Lao Yang and the others told are too hard to believe.
There are so many sheep that there is no end in sight, and they rush forward one after another. No matter how many people block the way in front of them, they are always moving forward...
Before they started farming with the Son of God, everyone in the tribe knew how to hunt.
However, even though they had been hunting for such a long time, none of them had seen the scenes Lao Yang and the others were talking about.
Moreover, they also know a lot about grass-eating animals like sheep.
This kind of grass-eating animal has a cowardly character and lacks sharp teeth and claws. When it encounters danger, the best way to save its life is to turn around and run away.
Now, there are so many predators here and on the other side of the river. Even if there are really so many sheep, why would they run here?
"Coming!"
Lao Yang and several other people from the sheep tribe pointed to the distance on the other side of the river and shouted in surprise.
After hearing his shout, everyone followed the direction of his finger and looked towards the other side of the river. They saw a white line in the distance, approaching quickly towards this side.
Under the gaze of everyone, this white line gradually lengthened and thickened, and finally turned into countless surging sheep!
The predators scattered along the opposite bank couldn't wait to pounce on the galloping sheep, and immediately one by one the sheep were thrown to the ground and their necks were bitten off.
However, the rest of the sheep still ran forward regardless, towards the beasts waiting in front, changing their cowardly appearance from the past...
It was the first time for everyone in the Qingque tribe to see this scene, and everyone was a little crazy.
It turns out that there really are so many sheep, and it turns out that these running sheep no longer turn around and run away when they see danger as they did in the past, but they rush forward without hesitation!
This kind of shock lasted for a while, and when a sheep jumped into the river and swam here, it was replaced by deep joy and excitement.
They must catch a lot of sheep this time!
As the first one lands on the river bank here, an autumn feast begins.
With the rumble of hoofbeats, the autumn wind blew, bending the weeds and blowing away the blood. The wind filled the sky motionless. Groups of clouds moved to the south, in the same direction as the migrating sheep. They looked like
It's the shadow of the sheep, reflected in the blue sky...
The wind stopped, the clouds dispersed, and the seemingly endless flock of sheep passed by this piece of land, rolling forward non-stop.
Among the trampled grass, piles of white bones and some dark red blood were added.
The predator licked the blood from the corner of its mouth and left leisurely and contentedly. The scavenging birds descended from the sky, chirping here to fight for the remaining sheep intestines or pecking the bones.
The senior brother and the others, who were stained with blood and were extremely tired, looked at the numerous sheep with their four hooves tied and thrown here. Each of them had their big mouths opened and couldn't help but laugh. A group of completely big sheep.
Fool.
This time there were traps and nets, and there were more people coming. The number of sheep they caught this time was actually more than 200! It was more than the tribe's sheep!
Faced with such a huge harvest, it would be strange if they were unhappy!
No wonder the people of the Sheep Tribe have so many sheepskins. No wonder the people of the Sheep Tribe bring so many sheep to their tribe to exchange for things every autumn...
With joy and understanding at the same time, many people are salivating. This time they caught so many sheep at once, their tribe's life will become even better this winter!
As long as they think of the thing called hot pot made by Shenzi, everyone will salivate even more.
The taste of the mutton slices cooked in this way makes people want to take a few bites of these raw lambs!
Under the instructions of the senior brother, everyone set up a fire here, roasted a dead sheep, and after eating rice with millet, some people began to carry the bamboo rafts placed aside to the water and put them on
into the water, and then started loading the sheep onto the bamboo raft.
The dead sheep were loaded first.
These sheep are already dead and it is best to transport them back for processing first.
After loading the dead sheep, start loading the live sheep.
A dozen bamboo rafts were filled, but not all the sheep were loaded away.
There are nearly seventy sheep left, and it is certainly impossible for the senior brother and others to throw them away.
After the bamboo raft paddled against the current towards the Qingque tribe, the senior brother asked someone to untie the ropes from the lamb legs.
Of course, instead of letting them go, they were put in groups of four with their heads tied and led by one person, and the harvest was transported to the tribe by both land and water...
In the Qingque tribe, Han Cheng squatted there and continued to use the hard-earned tung oil, brushing the rattan armor there, and then finished painting the remaining two pieces. The hundred or ten pairs of rattan armor in the tribe were painted for the third time.
Once the oil is applied, it is completely finished.
While Han Cheng was doing this, Bai Xuemei, who was holding her belly with both hands, stood aside and watched.
Today's Bai Xuemei has a scary big belly. If you lift her clothes, you can clearly see the blood vessels.
This is much bigger than when I was pregnant with Xiao Wandou.
So much so that Han Cheng was sometimes worried that Bai Xuemei's belly would be forced open.
At the same time, I will also wonder whether Bai Xuemei is pregnant with twins.
If it's twins, it's best to have a twin and a twin, so that you can have both children at once and save trouble.
"Brother Cheng, Brother Cheng, let me tell you something interesting...hahahaha..."
Bai Xuemei, who was standing there, suddenly remembered something and started shouting.
Han Chenggong stopped what he was doing and looked at Bai Xuemei, waiting for this silly woman to tell him something interesting.
However, Han Cheng, who had been waiting for a while, didn't find it very interesting.
This is not because what Bai Xuemei said is not funny, but because she started laughing uncontrollably without saying it at all, and she couldn't stop laughing at all.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Looking at Bai Xuemei who was laughing so hard that she was out of breath, Han Cheng couldn't help showing a helpless expression. He had never seen such a good joke teller.
Without even uttering a word, he laughed himself until he couldn't stop laughing. This really reached a state...
Han Cheng now wants to take back what he just said about Bai Xuemei.
Just now, he had already regarded Bai Xuemei's realm at a high enough level, but now he looked at Bai Xuemei's pants that were soaked by water, and the water flowing down the trousers to her ankles. While he was dumbfounded, he felt that he was
The level of shock at the silly wife's ability to tell jokes has once again reached a new level.
Han Cheng met people in later generations who did not make others laugh when they told jokes, but laughed so hard that they could not stand up straight. However, except for his silly wife, Han Cheng met people who laughed all the time without uttering a single word.
Never encountered it before.
After staring at the mountain like this for a while, Han Cheng realized that something was wrong. Not only was Bai Xuemei peeing a lot while laughing, but the other reason was that this silly woman who couldn't stop the car was smiling.
I smiled and held my stomach, "Ouch, Ouch" and cried out that it hurt.
Let me go, this is not because I peed because of laughter, but because my amniotic fluid broke because of laughter, and the baby in my belly is about to come out!
After being stunned for a moment, Han Cheng reacted, threw away the rattan armor and other things on his hands, supported Bai Xuemei, and then shouted loudly for someone to bring a stretcher.
At this time, nothing like rattan armor or tung oil is as important as this silly woman in my own family and the little boy who is about to be born!
The people who heard the news hurried over with a stretcher. Together with Han Cheng, they helped Bai Xuemei, who could no longer laugh, onto the stretcher. Then they hurried towards the building with whitewashed interior and exterior walls that served as the inpatient department of the hospital.
go.
"Prepare hot water and get the knives and other things over here!"
After arriving at an extremely clean house, Han Cheng and others put Bai Xuemei on the earthen bed while giving loud orders.
Many children have been born in the tribe over the years, and everyone is familiar with these things. As soon as Han Cheng finished speaking, someone immediately went to prepare these things.
The taboos of later generations did not exist here at all. Han Cheng let the other male primitives in the room go out, leaving two female primitives who often delivered babies inside. Han Cheng began to help Bai Xuemei undress.
Han Cheng didn't catch Little Wandou when he was born. This time Han Cheng wanted to welcome his second child into the world in person.
Although this was not her first time giving birth, the waves of pain still made Bai Xuemei miserable.
Han Cheng rubbed his hands vigorously with some hot willow water and encouraged Bai Xuemei.
Although he was not the one who gave birth to the child, nor was he the one who suffered the pain, he still broke out in a sweat.
Seeing such a scene, the two primitive women who stayed in the room to help were stunned.
In their memories, even in the most difficult and dangerous moments, Shenzi had never been so anxious. However, now, she was so anxious and nervous because of the birth of a child that every woman had to go through.
"Brother Cheng, it's okay..."
Bai Xuemei, who was lying on the kang with a pale face, comforted Han Cheng.
Han Cheng picked up a clean linen cloth and wiped his head, then smiled at Bai Xuemei.
As expected, caring leads to chaos.
But how can he calm down when faced with such a thing?
"Wow~wow~"
The baby's loud cries echoed in the room. Han Cheng held the slippery little guy in his hands, his hands trembling slightly with excitement.
Excited, I secretly glanced between the little guy's legs. This was my baby girl.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Han Cheng couldn't suppress the smile on his face, and finally couldn't help laughing out loud. Inadvertently, he already had a son and a daughter!
The shaman who was waiting outside the door heard the baby's loud cry and instantly burst into laughter. He couldn't even see his eyes. The folds on his face could trap flies.
Every time a new life is born in the tribe, the shaman is so happy.
Han Cheng's own condition was no longer suitable for handling the next matter, so he handed over the umbilical cord reduction to the two primitive women who were helping.
And after he carefully washed his hands, he began to clean Bai Xuemei's body with warm water and fine linen cloth.
The two female primitives had already delivered a lot of children, and they seemed to be handling things very skillfully. Not long after, the newly born little ones were cleaned by them with warm water, and they had already prepared them with water.
The little swaddling clothes were wrapped up.
The outside of the swaddle is linen, and the inside is lined with two layers of failed silk.
The reason why a layer of silk cloth is placed inside is because the fine linen cloth is still somewhat rough and can easily prick people. The baby's skin is too tender and cannot bear it.
In fact, the most ideal thing is pure cotton, which is not only soft, but also has very good breathability and sweat-absorbing effect. However, this kind of thing is not available in the tribe at all, so we can only use silk cloth instead.
The little girl looks very similar to the little pea when she was first born. Her skin is wrinkled and she looks like a little monkey that has not grown.
Han Cheng, who already had the experience of being a father, did not dislike it this time. Instead, he hugged his little girl and couldn't get enough of it.
"Brother Cheng, let me take a look..."
Bai Xuemei, whose face was still pale, stood up half her body and watched eagerly.
Han Cheng quickly helped her lie down with one hand, and then placed the little girl wrapped in swaddling clothes next to Bai Xuemei.
Although Bai Xuemei suffered a lot in order to give birth to this child, when she saw this little person sleeping peacefully in her swaddling clothes, a smile bloomed on her face, exuding a deep feeling of joy.
Yes, the radiance called maternal love comes out.
"dad?"
Little Wandou rushed in and looked at the little man wrapped in a swaddling clothes and lying next to Bai Xuemei. After a while, he couldn't help but look up at Han Cheng, with curiosity and inquiry in his eyes.
"This is my sister, your biological sister. You are your parents' child, and so is she. She is still your little sister, and you are her big brother. You must protect your little sister from now on."
Han Cheng smiled and spoke softly to Xiao Wandou, held one of Xiao Wandou's little hands, and gently touched the little girl's face.
After having two children, there are more things that need to be paid attention to, and the most important thing to pay attention to is Dabao's psychological feelings.
Because the birth of the second child will definitely take away a lot of care and love from his parents. Dabao, who is used to enjoying his parents' love alone, will definitely feel uncomfortable.
The little people seem to know nothing, but in fact they all have their own feelings on some things.
In this process, if the guidance is not good, the person who will be harmed the most will actually be Dabao.
Xiao Wandou seemed to understand what Han Cheng said, but she also felt something different.
After Han Cheng held his little hand and touched the face of the little girl who had fallen asleep shortly after birth with her eyes closed, the usually lively little pea calmed down and lay on the edge of the kang, stretching out her little head.
, staring at the little girl sleeping after being swaddled with dark eyes.
Although there were many children in the tribe, Xiao Wandou was vaguely aware of the relationship between this little man and himself, and he seemed to be a little different from the other children.
"younger sister."
After Xiao Wandou watched for a while, he saw the little girl moving the breathing point above her head as she breathed, and then she yelled softly, which made Han Cheng smile so much that he almost grinned behind his ears.
After settling the mother and daughter, Han Cheng did not let others do anything. He cooked by himself and went to make eggs and poached eggs with Bai Xuemei.
As more and more chickens were domesticated in the tribe, more and more eggs were accumulated.
The primitive women in the tribe can eat a bowl of poached eggs every day for a few days after giving birth to a child to supplement their nutrition.
Most people eat three a day. As Bai Xuemei is Han Cheng's wife, Han Cheng naturally can't treat her badly and directly puts six into the pot.
As the son of God in the tribe, you still have this privilege.
Put the boiled poached eggs into a bowl, then pour some hot soup into it, add two spoons of fruit sugar crushed into powder with a stone mortar, stir it gently with a spoon, and a delicious bowl of poached eggs is ready.
alright.
The only regret is that there is no brown sugar in the tribe. If there is brown sugar, it will be even more perfect.
When Han Cheng came over with the poached eggs, the little girl who had taken a nap had already woken up. Bai Xuemei was holding her there and feeding her. Little Pea looked on with eager eyes, wanting to get in and take a bite.
However, most women who have just given birth to a baby will not have sex at that time. Bai Xuemei is such a person, so feeding her now is in vain.
After some feeding, the little girl was just like the little pea. Not only did she not eat any food, but she became hungrier and hungrier as she ate, so she soon started crying with a small mouth.
Han Chenggong took the little girl from Bai Xuemei's arms, told Bai Xuemei to eat the poached eggs while they were still hot, and then walked out with the little girl wrapped in a bag with only a small face left, who was still crying.
He opened the door and went to beg for food for his little girl.
The food in the tribe is abundant, the place of residence is safe, and most importantly, there are many women, so the most indispensable thing is lactating women.
Han Cheng is no longer the innocent young man he used to be. A few years of life have turned him into a thick-skinned old driver.
He was no longer as shy as he was when he held Little Pea in his arms and begged for food. He came to several women who were feeding their children and directly smiled and said the words about women begging for food.
Naturally, women would not be upset. Breastfeeding a child is a sacred thing. Someone immediately picked up the little girl from Han Cheng's family, held her in their arms and started feeding her.
After putting the baby-coaxing artifact into her mouth, the little girl immediately calmed down and ate very greedily. It looked like she was going to grow up.
After begging for food in his arms, Han Cheng took his little girl back to the room and placed her next to Bai Xuemei. He stayed here for a while, then went to the kitchen to prepare a meal for maternity...
