Chapter 870 This strange cave is ours! (Three in one)
Facts have proven that even unoccupied houses can make noises.
When one of them put his hand on the door made of rough wood and pushed in hard, he suddenly heard a noise.
Moreover, the doors, which were originally tightly closed together and tied with rattan with the original door knockers, made a noise at the same time as a gap was exposed between the two doors.
Because the doors and windows were closed, there was no light inside. Looking inside through this gap, the darkness inside looked very scary, like a sleeping giant with its mouth open.
Therefore, everyone who was looking at this house curiously was frightened.
They didn't dare to stay here any longer, so they all yelled and ran away without even looking back.
There were also several people who tripped and fell to the ground while escaping. They screamed in fright, got up from the ground in a panic, and continued running forward.
He didn't even bother to pick up the animal skins that fell on the ground, he just ran back as if he was desperate for his life.
The group of people ran for a while, looked back, and saw that the monster that made a noise and opened its mouth was still parked there and did not chase after them. They were so scared that their hearts almost jumped out of their chests.
It has become much more stable.
A group of people stopped here, looking nervously at the huge creature, ready to continue running if they disagreed.
After waiting like this for a while, and seeing that there was still no other movement, some brave people suggested that they go and have a look again.
After waiting for a while, these people set off again towards the house built by Han Cheng and others...
"Bang dong dong..."
The closed door was pushed again and a sound was heard. This time, although everyone was surprised, they did not run away in fear like before. Instead, they stood there and watched with vigilance.
"Bang dong dong..."
The person who pushed the door before pushed it again.
And compared to before, I used more force on my hands.
"Bang dong dong..."
"Bang dong dong..."
After discovering that this behemoth only made noise as they and others pushed it, and no other movement occurred, these people became bolder, and more people joined in pushing the door.
Moreover, my mood has changed from the anxiety before to the curiosity now.
After a while of this, someone finally paid attention to the rattan that tied the two door panels.
Then someone started to untie the rattan.
"Squeak..."
After doing this for a while, they used a rough method to untie the rattan that tied the door. With a push with both hands, the door was pushed open.
After the door is opened, the whole house looks like a monster with its mouth open, the kind that can swallow a person whole in one bite.
Even though these people were used to the silence of this giant, at this moment, looking at the big black hole, they all involuntarily stepped back.
It's not because they are timid, but because this kind of thing looks too scary.
The leading primitive woman was also among the retreating ranks.
However, after experiencing the initial panic, the female primitive looked at the large black hole that appeared, with a look of thought in her eyes.
Because she discovered that this kind of thing looked very similar to the mouth of the cave where they lived.
Look at the fur on this behemoth that is very similar to the plants growing by the water, and the body that is very similar to the soil on the ground, and the things made of wood that look like teeth and eyelids, this woman
The primitive man suddenly had a bold idea...
“#¥%#……”
After a while, she appeared at the door and looked inside.
After waiting for a while, amidst the exclamations of everyone in the tribe, everyone walked into the house!
This female primitive was also extremely uneasy, her legs were trembling slightly, and her hands were tightly holding the sharpened tree stick in her hand, ready to withstand the danger.
However, there was no danger and she was still very calm. This made her feel relieved and at the same time, she became more convinced of her thoughts.
"#¥%5!"
After standing there quietly for a while, the man gained courage and began to walk around the room. After a while, he waved the stick in his hand, making a strong gesture, and shouted at the nervous people waiting outside.
Show your strength and bravery.
People outside saw that this man actually dared to walk into the body of such a behemoth, and was able to perform such actions to show off his bravery.
And in the face of this man's provocative behavior, the extremely scary-looking behemoth did not make any move, and everyone in their tribe felt extremely admirable for the courage of this man in their tribe.
Under the gaze of everyone, this primitive woman walked around the room with great power, fully showing off her bravery and strength to everyone in the tribe.
After doing this for a while, she opened her mouth and let the tribesmen who looked at her with fear and admiration also come from the monster's mouth and into its belly.
The people waiting outside seemed hesitant, and no one dared to do so.
The older primitive female walked out of it, and then walked in in front of everyone, stretching her body in the room, and everyone was stunned.
After doing this again and again, someone finally couldn't help it and followed the primitive woman, walking inside with a look of novelty and apprehension.
The new people who came in looked at everything here anxiously. After discovering that the monster did not close its mouth or do anything else, they felt relieved and began to boldly imitate the appearance of primitive women.
Activities inside.
After seeing that everyone who went in was okay, more and more people started to go in. Finally, even the most timid people went in with fear.
Then everyone began to fall into extreme novelty just like the monkeys in Huaguo Mountain who found the Water Curtain Cave.
People who are getting bolder and bolder are full of novelty and exploring things they have never seen before.
After staying inside for a while, everyone's eyes gradually adapted to the relatively dim light inside the house, and gradually some people discovered various differences.
"¥%wr!"
Someone pointed to the pile of ashes left on the ground, shouted loudly, and told the rest of the tribe what they had discovered.
Some people were already lying on the hay spread on the ground not far away, rolling back and forth a few times, looking very comfortable.
These hay are what Han Cheng and others left behind.
Because I was in a hurry to go back, I didn't have time to put an earthen kang in the built house.
In the last few nights, Han Cheng and the others moved from the animal skin tent to the house, sleeping directly on the ground.
It's just that there is a layer of animal skins spread on top of the hay.
When they left, they took away the animal skins used as mats and left behind the thick hay.
Some people even found some leftover fish bones and animal bones beside the ashes.
As for the primitive woman who came in first, she discovered something even stranger.
At this moment, she was holding a fish cage woven with rattan in her hand and looking up and down in front of her eyes.
This fish cage was also left by Han Cheng and others.
When building houses here, in order to catch as much food as possible, they re-weaved dozens of fish traps for fishing.
If they left at this time, it was naturally impossible to take away all the fish cages with them. Except for the ones they had carried before, the rest were placed in the house for next time.
As a result, he was discovered by this group of uninvited guests.
After the primitive woman looked at it up and down for a while, she tentatively put it on her head.
At the entrance of the fish cage, there is a hollow cone-like existence, which is very similar to the oil leak used to fill oil cans in later generations.
At this time, the primitive woman put it on her head, and the size turned out to be quite suitable.
But it is difficult to take your hands away. After taking your hands away, if you move back and forth, the thing will easily fall down.
After walking like this for a while, the primitive woman's eyes fell on the mouth of this strange thing.
In order to make it easier to pull the fish cage out of the water, a rope was tied symmetrically on both sides of the fish cage mouth. After extending about half a meter to the front, it merged into one rope.
After the primitive woman looked at the rope for a while, an idea flashed in her mind.
After she put this strange-looking thing on her head, she tied the ropes on both sides firmly under her chin.
After finishing these things, she started walking back and forth in the room, shaking her head from time to time.
Sure enough, it was just as she thought, if it was tied with a rope like this, it would not fall off again.
The others were stunned when they looked at the primitive woman walking around the room with such a thing on her head.
After the primitive women put such a tall and big thing on their heads, they suddenly became taller.
Even the tallest among them was not as tall as the primitive women at this time.
It looks very mighty and beautiful.
So, the others followed suit and picked up the fish traps and put them on their heads.
So, not long after, these uninvited guests all had such unique hats on their heads.
Wearing a hat like this, they were all very happy, walking back and forth here, posing in some poses consciously or unconsciously.
“#¥5@#!”
A man shouted again, raised the fish cage in his hand high, and shook it vigorously.
In this fish cage, two stones appeared, and they collided with each other as he shook them, making a sound.
These two stones were the ones he had just put in. They were weapons he carried with him to attack his prey.
After seeing this man's actions and understanding what he meant, the eyes of the others suddenly lit up.
Because through this person's reminder, they discovered another use of this strange, but very beautiful thing.
Yes, if you only have your hands to hold it, you and others can only hold a few stones at a time, but with this kind of thing, everything becomes different.
Through this kind of thing, I and others can get many more stones like this at once, which will make it more convenient when hunting.
Some people with faster brain reactions have already thought of packing fruits and other foods instead of packing rocks.
After having these, everyone suddenly became more fond of this kind of thing. This is really a good thing!
After recovering from the initial shock, caution and other emotions, these people began to re-examine this huge monster that was extremely strange in their eyes.
By now, they have basically understood that this strange-looking giant should be a kind of cave they have never seen before.
The ashes, fish bones, animal bones, etc. inside all told them this fact.
They all felt strange as to why such a strange cave suddenly appeared here.
Since this weird cave is made of soil, trees, and grass by the water, many people think it grew out of soil, just like the trees around their tribe.
Only this explanation can explain clearly why such a strange-looking cave suddenly appeared here, but it was very spacious inside.
As for the people who once lived in this strange cave, after some thinking, the primitive women felt that these people were no longer there.
Because there is no one in this strange cave, and the flames burning in the cave have been extinguished for a long time.
Such a situation should not occur in a cave where people live for a long time.
Just like the cave they live in, after they leave, there will still be many people moving around the cave, and there will even be some little babies living inside the cave.
As for the fire, it will not be extinguished easily.
After thinking about these things, everyone, including the primitive women, were very happy.
Because this means that this weird cave can be owned by them!
After being active inside for a while, these people became more and more courageous, and some people also untied and pushed open the wooden windows that were fastened from the inside.
After the doors and windows were opened, the house immediately became brighter, even brighter than the fire-lit cave they lived in before.
Such a discovery once again made these people cheer.
These people stayed here for a while, and under the leadership of the female primitive, they came out of this cave that seemed extremely weird to them.
He also followed the previous example and closed all the doors and windows of the house, and found rattan rods to fasten the wooden rings of the wooden doors haphazardly.
There is their selfish motive in this, they just hope that those who may discover this strange cave will be just like they were at the beginning, too scared to come close.
After doing this, they stood here for a while and began to walk towards the distance step by step.
They want to go back and tell the people in the tribe this extremely miraculous news, and show the people in the tribe their newly acquired things that have many uses, so as to enjoy the extremely envious eyes of the people in the tribe.
As for the primitive woman, she had to think more long-term. She thought about the caves that were becoming more crowded due to the increasing number of people in the tribe.
Is it possible for some people from the tribe to come here and live in this unique cave?
Moreover, there are also delicious little fruits growing around here.
When the time comes, it will be more convenient for some people from your tribe to live here and pick those small fruits...
"Huh~!"
Han Cheng, who was wearing rattan armor, a backpack and leggings, looked back at the vast mountains behind him and couldn't help but let out a long breath.
Even though it was not the first time he had climbed over these mountains, now that he came out of them again, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
The rest of the people are in similar condition to him.
After taking a short rest here, Han Chengcheng and the people in the tribe set off again. They walked for a while along the marks they had made before. After finding the water source, they began to set up camp.
After dinner, Han Cheng lay in the temporary tent, thinking about how he would be able to return to the main tribe in a while. He couldn't help but feel hot in his heart, wishing he could spread his wings and fly back right now.
to the tribe.
After lying here and thinking for a while, Han Chengcheng once again began to think about things about Jinguan City, the second branch of the tribe.
The construction of the second sub-tribe is certain, at least in terms of scale, it cannot be lower than the Tongshan residential area.
But it is not that easy to build Jinguan City as quickly as possible.
Compared with Tongshan residential area, Jinguan City is more difficult to build.
It's not that Han Cheng really wanted to build it into the Jinguan City in history, but because Jinguan City was too far away from the main tribe of Qingque, it was difficult to provide food support.
Before the road between the two was completely built so that donkey carts could pass through, it would be too difficult to transport food from the main tribe to Jinguan City.
As long as people carry it on their hands and shoulders, even if they don't carry anything but food, if they can only carry one-third of the food they carry all the way over the mountains, it's probably pretty good.
In addition to the problem of food, there is also the problem of manpower.
If you want to build Jinguan City as quickly as possible, it is best to develop the rice planting industry there, so you need to increase your investment in manpower.
Han Cheng's idea is to initially build Jinguan City before planting rice can be carried out next spring.
At least one citizen's house must be built and some walls built.
At the same time, the water area must also be rehabilitated to create enough paddy fields for growing rice.
And all of this requires people to do it.
Moreover, because there was basically no food support from the main tribes there, before rice cultivation there was fully spread, the food needed by the people basically had to rely on fishing, hunting and gathering.
In other words, some of the people who participated in the construction of Jinguan City in the past needed to specifically capture food.
Han Cheng made an estimate based on the current labor capacity of the tribe members and felt that at least 120 adults would be needed to realize all of this.
There is no doubt that removing so many adults for a long period of time will definitely have a big impact on the main tribe and the Tongshan residential area, especially on food production.
Han Cheng obviously didn't want such a thing to happen. After all, food was the foundation of his tribe.
The Qingque tribe's ability to maintain its current scale is basically based on sufficient food, and farming is the main source of food.
If too much food production is delayed, it will have many negative impacts on the tribe.
After thinking back and forth like this for a while, Han Cheng couldn't help but sniff.
The manpower of my tribe has been increasing over the years, and as a result, the problem of insufficient manpower is still a problem now.
This is mainly because as the tribe continues to grow and develop, more and more places need manpower.
Let’s go back to the tribe first and take a look. If it doesn’t work out, just fool some people from the surrounding areas and follow you to the south to start construction...
After thinking for a while, Han Cheng could only end like this.
After lying here and thinking for a while, Han Cheng sat up, took out the route map drawn along the way from his backpack, and looked at it under the firelight.
After watching it for a while, Han Cheng called Mao over and asked him to look at the route with him.
When heading from the main tribe to Jinguan City, except for the areas known in the first few days, the rest was a fumbling way.
Since we are groping along, there are bound to be detours.
What Han Cheng wants to do now is to remove these long detours and straighten them out.
In this way, a lot of distance can be reduced.
Of course, this kind of thing is not easy to do, because if you don't pay attention, it may go astray.
This is why Han Cheng waited until he was out of the mountains before calling Lai Mao to do this together.
He didn't dare to change the path in the mountain randomly. If he didn't get it right and got lost in the mountain, it would be troublesome.
Now that we have left the mountains, the situation is different.
Centering on the main tribe of Qingque, one hundred and eighty miles to the west to the Tongshan residential area, and all the way to the east to the vicinity of the Luhe River, these are all known areas for our tribe.
Under such circumstances, even if you accidentally take the wrong road, causing the direction to deviate, and you do not return directly to your tribe, you and others will not be lost.
You can locate yourself and the main tribe based on familiar landforms, and then return to the main tribe.
It was precisely because of such a hidden net that Han Cheng would boldly implement this matter.
Moreover, he was not completely unsure about this matter.
In addition to the less-than-standard route maps he drew, there is also a living map around him that you can never forget the wrong way as long as you walk through it once.
Given these conditions, Han Cheng felt that it was very necessary to make such an attempt.
After knowing Han Cheng's thoughts, Mao immediately looked at the maps drawn by Han Cheng seriously...
