Chapter 879 The cause of another day, the effect of today (three in one)
After donkey saddles and donkey stirrups were proven to be useful, in the following time, Lame's carpenter's room accelerated the production of them.
Because of the successful experience in the past, there is no need to explore, you only need to make it according to the previous specifications and styles, so the production level of these two things suddenly increased.
Of course, another reason is that with axes and chisels made of meteorite, people like Lame are more motivated to do things.
The effect of the morale bonus is simply not very good.
Under such circumstances, within a day and a half, the carpenter's room made four more donkey saddles and stirrups.
The only thing that makes Han Cheng regretful is that the tribe has not yet opened the technology tree for steel smelting.
Otherwise, I can still ask someone to get the horseshoes out.
Of course, like saddles and stirrups, they will be transformed into donkey shoes.
In this way, after equipping this three-piece set, everything becomes perfect.
The meteorite iron in the tribe can meet such standards, but the quantity is too small. It is impossible to just update important things in the tribe, let alone make donkey shoes for donkeys.
However, at this time, the donkeys in my tribe will not run long distances unless they encounter a situation similar to what happened in the Tongshan residential area last time. Under normal walking conditions, there is no problem without shoeing them.
With these five pairs of donkey saddles, Senior Brother and the others will be more stable on their journey north.
Five saddled donkeys are of course not enough for everyone to ride, but they can be used for emergencies.
Anyone who can't bear it can ride on the donkey and walk for a while to rest.
But don't underestimate the effect that such a break can have. At a critical moment, the effect that such behavior can have is really beyond imagination.
While the carpenter's room was making these two things, the rest of the tribe was not idle either, carrying out various preparations on their backs.
Backpacks, leggings, food, weapons, medicines, clothes, tents and other things needed for going out were all prepared amidst everyone's busy work.
In the early morning of the Qingque Lord Tribe, the sky has not yet brightened, and there is still some mist that has not dissipated around the tribe. The Qingque Lord Tribe has already become lively.
This is the second day that five pairs of donkey saddles were successfully made.
Because of the ease of use of meteorite weapons and the fact that Han Cheng wanted to lead people south to continue building Jinguan City earlier, the people of the Qingque tribe became impatient for this trip north.
For this reason, the next morning after the donkey saddles, donkey stirrups were completely made, everyone was ready to go out.
"Be careful on the road and don't rush too fast. It's very warm in Jinguancheng. You can work in winter and you can still carry out construction.
You don’t have to worry about the crops in the tribe, we will take care of them as long as we are here.”
On Qingque Square, Han Cheng looked at the senior brothers wearing leggings and carrying backpacks and said with a smile, giving instructions.
Last time, he was the one traveling far away, but this time he changed his role and became the one seeing off.
The senior brothers all nodded solemnly, indicating that they had firmly remembered the words of the Son of God in their hearts.
"Come out! Go early and come back early!"
After giving some instructions, Han Cheng smiled and said to his senior brother and the others.
The eldest brother bowed down and saluted Han Cheng, then turned around. The others also followed the eldest brother's example and bowed to Han Cheng, the divine son of the Qingque tribe. Then they turned around and headed towards the courtyard gate under the leadership of the eldest brother.
Walk outside.
The moment they left the courtyard, the smaller Qingque flag carried by the team was raised high and slowly fluttered in the morning breeze.
After the group left the tribe, they walked toward the west of the tribe under the guidance of Qingque Flag.
Not long after, we walked up to the bronze height.
Because when the Blackstone Tribe and others came over, they arrived at the Tongshan Residential Area first, and then arrived at the main tribe, so this trip north also requires first arriving at the Tongshan Residential Area along the Bronze High, and then going north through the Bazi Ridge.
.
Senior Brother and his group are much more numerous than when Han Cheng went south.
In addition to the fifty citizens of the Qingque tribe, there are also seventeen new slaves. At the same time, the old slaves who worked one-on-one with these new slaves who were selected also followed.
The reason why so many people came was because the purpose of Senior Brother and the others this time was different from that of Han Cheng and the others.
Han Cheng and the others went to the south mainly to find a warm and suitable south, but there was a lot of uncertainty. If they brought too many people, it would not be very good.
But Senior Brother and the others are different this time. This time they are going to the north to pick up people.
Judging from the number of newly acquired slaves in the tribe and the number of those killed, we can know that the number of people left in the tribe is not a small number.
Over one hundred is a given, and even over two hundred or three hundred would not be too unusual.
With such a large number of people, fewer people go there, making it difficult to suppress them and causing trouble easily.
Although judging from the performance of these new slaves in the tribe, there should be no problems, but the human heart is really difficult to grasp.
Just like the piranha, it is too timid to fish out a single fish and put it in the water, but once it forms a group and has a large number of partners, it immediately becomes ferocious.
Han Cheng was worried that the new slaves in the tribe would do the same.
After going north, I returned to the place where I lived before. When I saw the remaining people in the tribe, I immediately had some thoughts that I shouldn't have.
Sending more people north will allow these people to carefully consider and deter them when they may have some inappropriate thoughts.
Moreover, once something like this happens, having more people in the tribe can ensure that the people in the tribe will suffer less or no harm, and the rebellion can be suppressed quickly.
Han Cheng himself knew that the possibility of something like this happening was not very high, but there was nothing wrong with being careful.
Under the watch of everyone, the team carrying the Qingque flag gradually moved further and further along the bronze height, and finally disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.
After seeing off the senior brother and his party, the people who stayed in the tribe began to disperse and work on their own.
Compared to Han Cheng's trip, everyone in the tribe seemed much more relieved about Senior Brother and his team's trip. Unlike Han Cheng's trip, everyone was unsure and panicked.
The reason for this is that on the one hand, Han Cheng has an irreplaceable and important position in the Qingque tribe. Without him in the tribe, everyone would always feel inexplicably flustered.
On the other hand, it's because Han Cheng's last trip had too many uncertainties, while Senior Brother and the others have clear destinations for their trip this time.
So everyone seemed very relieved.
On top of the bronze height, after walking forward for a short distance following the green bird flag at the front, the leader of the Grass Tribe, like everyone in the team, couldn't help but look back from time to time.
Watching the tall tribe gradually become smaller and finally disappeared from sight.
However, unlike the sadness and reluctance of everyone in the team, the leader of the Grass Tribe felt relaxed for a while after losing sight of the tall Qingque Tribe.
It felt like escaping from a huge prison, and it seemed like a big stone weighing on my heart was suddenly lifted.
Driven by such a mood, she even wanted to sing a song "Sister Sitting on the Bow" that she had learned in the Qingque Tribe during these days to express her excitement.
However, such an impulse was suppressed by the leader of the Grass Tribe.
Not only that, she also showed reluctance like the others.
Because she knew that if others discovered her true thoughts at this time, they might not beat her, but what was certain was that they would definitely beat her to death.
Once something like this happens, my trip will be in vain.
"Go faster!"
The senior brother walking in front turned his head and said to everyone.
Although the Son of God told me before leaving that there was no need to rush, the senior brother still felt that it would be better to go faster.
Because after returning to the tribe earlier, you can do other things earlier.
At least this year’s autumn harvest cannot be missed.
This was the exact thought that senior brother had in mind after he decided to take people north.
So after walking along the Bronze Gao for a while, I started to urge and improve my progress.
Everyone followed the senior brother and improved their progress.
By the time the sun was a little westward, their group had already arrived at Tongfu Inn.
After resting here for a while, eating food and adding some boiled water, everyone started moving forward again.
Time passed slowly as everyone walked, and before they knew it, the sun had already dropped to the distant horizon.
However, the leading senior brother had no intention of stopping and setting up camp, and continued walking.
"Have a rest when you get to Longmen Inn. There is a house, a kang, and a yard there."
The eldest brother turned around and shouted to everyone.
Today he planned to catch up on a longer journey. It didn't matter if he walked for a while at night. Anyway, they had more people and better equipment so they wouldn't be afraid of encountering wild beasts.
In such a state, it is only the beasts that are worried about encountering them, not them.
And with the bronze height, you don’t have to worry about losing your way. Under such circumstances, you can definitely walk for a night.
Everyone was looking forward to heading north early, so after the senior brother gave a signal, they all cheered up, quickened their pace, and walked forward along the Bronze Heights.
As everyone walked, the sunlight completely disappeared, and twilight shrouded the world, making the already vast world even more bleak.
The group of people kept walking like this, until it got dark for a while, and the Longmen Inn, which had been silent for a few days, welcomed a new guest.
Some water birds that were relatively close to the Longmen Inn were so frightened by the noise that they flapped their wings and flew to other places. Their cries were particularly loud in such a night.
"Heat water and soak your feet before going to bed. This is what Shenzi did with us. It's very useful."
The courtyard door was closed from the inside, and inside the Longmen Inn, where the fire was lit, Mao's voice sounded, telling everyone the method he learned from the Son of God.
After hearing Mao say that this was a method learned from the Son of God, everyone did not dare to neglect and began to imitate Mao's example.
I soaked my feet vigorously in hot water. Everyone thought this method was good. My feet seemed to feel much more comfortable all of a sudden, and my whole body became energetic.
A lot of this is of course psychological.
Although hot water was developed into a seemingly incurable existence in later generations.
If you have a cold, drink more hot water. If your throat is dry, drink more hot water. If your stomach feels uncomfortable, drink more hot water. If your stomach hurts, drink more hot water. Girls should also drink more hot water if they are menstruating...
And using it to soak your feet can indeed relieve fatigue, but the effect is really not as good as the people in the Qingque tribe think.
After having dinner, soaking their feet, and arranging for manpower to keep vigil, everyone began to sleep.
People who have been walking for a day are already very sleepy. As soon as they lay down here, there was a lot of snoring soon. The Longmen Inn, which had been noisy for a while, became quiet again...
Early the next morning, after everyone had breakfast, they set off and continued westward along Qingugu Gao. In the afternoon, when the sun was somewhat westward, they arrived at the Tongshan residential area.
The people in the Tongshan residential area were naturally overjoyed to see a large number of people from the tribe headed by the eldest brother.
"First arrange for someone to cook. Just make it simple. The sooner the better. After dinner, we can continue heading north."
After arriving at the Tongshan residential area, the senior brother had just met Shang who was stationed here, and he quickly explained this.
After hearing this, Shang did not dare to neglect, and quickly arranged for people in the Tongshan residential area to quickly cook and eat with his senior brother and the others.
"Lead, what are you planning to do?"
After arranging the cooking, Shang began to ask the senior brother about the purpose of their trip.
"Go north and bring the remaining clan members of these people to our tribe..."
The eldest brother looked a little excited and said to Shang, quite as excited as your wife and I raised her.
After understanding what Senior Brother and his group were planning to do, Shang became excited, with some regrets in his excitement.
If he didn't have to stay here to guard the Tongshan residential area and couldn't leave, Shang would have wanted to follow his senior brother and the others to this fate.
"These are donkey saddles and stirrups. The Son of God asked Lame and the others to make them. With these things, the donkey will feel particularly comfortable when riding..."
Several donkeys equipped with donkey saddles and stirrups looked particularly conspicuous, easily attracting everyone's attention.
Mao smiled and explained to the curious people in the Tongshan residential area.
After listening to Mao's explanation, everyone's eyes suddenly brightened up. Liutou, who is now as famous as Sparrow in the tribe, even rubbed his hands and asked Mao impatiently if he could ride.
Of course, this kind of thing is allowed.
Moreover, before Liutou started riding, Mao gave Liutou a demonstration and explained the trick of pulling out the right leg from the right side.
The habit of getting on and off donkeys from the right side has remained in the Tongshan residential area.
The first time I rode a donkey with a donkey saddle and stirrups, I was as excited as a sparrow, and I didn't even want to get off the donkey's back.
"The Son of God said that after they make more in a few days, they will have some sent over..."
Mao smiled and said to Liu Tou, who looked at the donkey saddle and stirrup equipped with a strong feeling of reluctance, and other people who like to ride donkeys.
After hearing what Mao said, Liantou and the others suddenly became happy and couldn't wait for that day to come.
There is no way, these two things are too lethal to people who like to ride donkeys, no less attractive to lame people than iron axes and chisels.
During this discussion, the meal had been prepared. After having lunch provided by Tongshan Residential Area, Senior Brother, Mao and his party set off again without stopping too much, leaving Tongshan Residential Area and heading north.
Go.
While walking, I saw that in several fields in the Tongshan residential area, millet grew particularly strong, and some bones could be vaguely seen among the millet fields.
These bones were left behind by the Blackstone coalition forces that came to attack the Tongshan residential area.
They once wanted to invade the Tongshan residential area, but now they are still outside the Tongshan residential area.
It's just that they have used their broken bodies to make up for the sin of trampling on the Qingque tribe's farmland that day.
The stronger grains in the ground are the best evidence.
Everyone walked forward, along the road left in the fields, to Baziling.
At this time, Baziling looked even more insurmountable than before when all kinds of dense thorns had not fully grown their leaves. The grown leaves covered all the gaps, making it look dense.
Airtight feeling.
On the other side of the constriction of Baziling, the traps that were excavated previously have now been destroyed and roughly sealed.
However, you can still see the traces left behind and find the location of the trap.
The grass tribe leader once again walked to the Bazi Ridge, looked at the airtight thorns on the Bazi Ridge, and looked at the traces of traps that had not been completely filled in. He couldn't help but think of the day when he and others were defeated and were defeated.
The situation of being stuck in Baziling.
The powerful fighting power of the Qingque tribe members, as well as the peaceful leader who held the black stone weapon and chopped off the bark's head without any hesitation, also appeared in her mind.
Some fear couldn't help but arise in her heart, making her shiver.
The heart that was originally firm was now wavering.
The leader of the Grass Tribe was deeply undecided about what he wanted to do next...
After the team left Baziling, their march slowed down.
On the one hand, the senior brother and the others are not familiar with where they need to go next, so they need to let these new slaves identify it, which takes time.
On the other hand, there are no stable roads built for the rest of the trip. Many places need to be cleaned with axes and sickles to make it easier...
"Look where!"
A few days later, dusk came again, and the gorgeous sunset spread across the western sky, magnificent and colorful, and with the tranquility of dusk.
Among the marching team, someone suddenly shouted in surprise.
The person shouting is the old primitive man from the Wind Tribe who has long legs and can run very fast.
"We are far away from the cave where we used to live!"
He shouted in surprise and wanted to tell the people around him.
Everyone was happy when they heard what the old primitive man said, because it meant that they no longer had to set up a tent tonight. They only needed to smoke the cave where the old primitive man and the others once lived, and then check it.
You can check in right away, saving you a lot of trouble.
It was time to set up camp, so the senior brother ordered everyone to go to the cave where the Wind Tribe originally lived.
After a period of time like this, everyone came to the front of the cave, which looked a lot more deserted.
The senior brother directed everyone to stop, put down their backpacks and other things, and look for some firewood to light and smoke the cave.
Soon, thick smoke billowed out from here.
People set up simple stoves in the open space outside, boiled water for cooking, and fed their livestock.
By the time everyone had dinner, the smoke in the cave had basically dissipated.
So people cleaned up the ashes left by the burning at the entrance of the cave, lit a fire, walked into the cave, and lit a fire inside.
The firelight illuminated the inside of the cave.
Under the bright firelight, someone was not too far away from where they lit the fire. There was a pile of burned ashes, which looked like it hadn't been too long.
After being amazed for a while, some new slaves in the tribe spoke up and said that they had lived in this cave when they went south.
After knowing that these ashes were left behind by them, everyone was no longer surprised and began to concentrate on packing up the cave and preparing for a while to sleep.
The old primitive people from the Yuanfeng tribe also came in with some hot water and sat on a stone to soak their feet.
"ah!"
He put his feet into the basin filled with hot water and let out a relatively loud shout, which attracted everyone to look at him.
Of course, this was not because the water was too hot and had scalded him, but because he suddenly remembered something.
If they had not left, joined the Qingque Tribe, and become a real Qingque tribesman, but had continued to live here, would it have been the end of the past?
These people who attacked the Tongshan residential area were so numerous and ferocious at the time. It would be difficult for me and others to survive if I stayed here and encountered them...
After such thoughts arose, the old primitive man was both frightened and grateful. At the same time, he felt even more proud of the fact that the tribe leader agreed to join the Qingque tribe after beating him with his shoes.
After hearing what the old primitive man said, everyone felt happy and lucky for the old primitive man and the others.
As for the new slaves in the tribe who understood what the old primitives were talking about, only the evil Blackstone tribe leader and the bark of the chopped tree would do so.
As for them, they won't do such a thing...
What they said was true, because on the way to the Tongshan residential area, they had encountered two small tribes.
Then under the orders of the leader of the Blackstone Tribe, they took action one after another to attack the two tribes they encountered one after another, and then the people of these two small tribes disappeared...
When they first saw this empty cave, the leader of the Blackstone Tribe and many people in the Blackstone Alliance were regretting why it was an empty cave...
