Chapter 899 The Rice That Was Harvested (Three in One)
The morning wind was blowing, bringing with it a bit of coolness, making people unable to help but tighten their clothes tightly.
The blue bird flag was driven by the wind and danced gently in the air, making some noise.
Han Cheng, who was wearing a backpack and leggings, turned his head and glanced back.
In front of the tall wall of the Qingque tribe, many farewell people stood.
Among them, little Myolie and Little Wandou standing next to Bai Xuemei were still waving their little hands at them.
Han Cheng waved vigorously at them, turned around, and continued walking forward with everyone.
General Fu, who looked a little older, followed Han Cheng and walked in sync with Han Cheng.
Having given birth to a large group of descendants, it has become quiet now and is not as lively as before. Even when it was in the tribe, it was no longer the same as before, sparring with Uncle Deer when nothing happened.
Compared with the last trip, the team this time was much larger.
In addition to forty adult citizens, Han Cheng also brought sixty adult slaves.
Among these slaves, twenty are old slaves in the tribe, and the remaining forty are new slaves from the Blackstone Alliance who have joined the tribe for a few months.
In addition, they also brought 20 minors about eight years old and above.
These minors can also do a lot of things.
For example, using fish pots to catch fish and shrimps, using bamboo traps to catch loaches in the swamp, helping everyone get food, etc.
No matter how Han Cheng promotes education in the tribe, one thing cannot be denied, that is, the current production level of the tribe cannot support all minors to attend full-time classes.
While going to school, these children must participate in labor. While mastering basic life skills, they must also learn some techniques and delve into as much depth as possible.
Except for a small number of people who can go further on the road of learning, more people will officially invest in the various production and life of the tribe after the fifth grade of elementary school.
After being influenced and enlightened in Chinese and mathematics, they are more likely to achieve some results than the original people when carrying out various production and life.
Learning has never been the purpose. The real purpose of learning is to master and understand something through learning and apply it to life to make life better and work more brilliant.
What you learn through study can be some knowledge or some spirit.
For this reason, Han Cheng took these twenty minors with him on this trip.
Of course, their studies will not be delayed. When they arrive, they will be taught by him, the principal of Qingque Primary School, which has just set up a framework and is on vacation before the school officially starts.
Compared with before, the composition of the citizens who came this time was also different from before.
Mao, the living map, and Junior Brother Sha, the sharp archer, followed him, and once again followed him south.
Mao'er and two other people from the carpenter's room were also among the team heading south with their tools.
In addition to them, there are several people who are good at making pottery and tiles, and two stonemasons who learned from the stonemason wood.
There are more technicians this time than last time.
Of course, due to the limitation of the number of people, many things cannot be done professionally, so the Qingque tribe is still following the path of all the people being soldiers.
These technicians also participate in training, but not as frequently.
Even so, when encountering a crisis situation, these people are still able to take up arms and rush forward.
In addition, forty-eight donkeys and deer, two types of livestock mainly used for transportation, were also brought.
At the same time, he also brought one hundred and fifty live sheep, as well as some chickens with their wings clipped from the tribe.
The chickens are going to be raised in Jinguan City.
As for these sheep, Han Cheng is also planning to raise them there.
Of course, bringing so many sheep at one time, in addition to raising them, is also useful. When food is not enough, some of these sheep can be slaughtered for emergency relief.
Because of the dogs, deer, donkeys and this large group of sheep, Han Cheng and his group looked a bit like the migration of a nomadic tribe.
Amid the bleating of the lambs and the barking of the running dogs, Han Cheng and his group headed south.
The tall tribal wall behind him and the people standing in front of the wall were gradually left behind.
As everyone walked, the sun gradually rose and the thin morning mist dispersed. The fields on both sides of the road and the crops in the fields slowly disappeared and were replaced by weeds, bushes and other things...
The people who were standing in front of the tribe gate to see off their farewells slowly dispersed, picked up sickles, set up donkey carts or deer carts, and carried wooden branches to the fields to harvest and pull crops.
Among them, the most people are loading the cut grain into neat piles and transporting it to the threshing floor.
This is because there is moisture in the morning. Not only is it easy to load the truck, but the grains are not easy to fall out.
Therefore, none of the millet cut down yesterday was transported to the threshing floor.
In the threshing floor, some people also used wooden forks to push down the piles of millet piled there, or used rakes to pull them down.
Then push it with a wooden fork, spreading small piles over the entire scene, and then shake them out.
These millets are piled together, and some of the heated grains are spread out. When exposed to the sun and blown by the wind, they are easily 'scorched'. Then let a donkey or deer pull a stone wheel back and forth on it.
If you grind it, a lot of grains will fall from the top...
When Han Cheng and the others left the tribe and headed south towards Jinguan City, the second branch tribe, while the Qingque main tribe and the people in the Tongshan residential area were working hard for the autumn harvest, at a place in the south, a group of people gathered around
People wearing animal skins and holding simple weapons left their cave halfway up the mountain and walked towards a place under the leadership of an older female primitive.
“#￥5rt……”
While walking, the older primitive woman turned around and said something to the people in the tribe, with a sense of excitement.
When she said this, many people in the team seemed excited. They also started talking in a hurried manner. Some people even stretched out their hands, opened their arms and gestured with force to show a big thing.
Being led by them, some people who seemed a little reluctant and worried about leaving the tribal cave gradually became happy.
In the cave behind them, people were coming in and out one after another, all dressed in the same style.
Most of them transport a package, a parcel, or some fruits in fish cages into the cave...
Mao, who was wearing rattan armor and holding a short bronze spear in his hand, identified the path there.
"Go from here!"
He greeted people.
What they are walking now is no longer the path they took when they first went there, but the path they took when they came back.
Two or three months of growth caused some grass to grow on the path they opened when they returned, and it was blocked by some newly pulled out branches.
However, the traces from before are still there, and it is relatively easy to identify unless you encounter areas with sparse vegetation.
When passing by, many people waved their sickles and hatchets to remove branches and branches from the road.
Because of this, the passage here became wider after they passed through.
While becoming more conspicuous, it also becomes easier for people to pass.
This is already the sixth day since Han Cheng and the others left the tribe. They walked as straight as possible southward. Yesterday, they had already left the sphere of influence of the Qingque Alliance.
After these few days of walking, the minors in the team who originally seemed cheerful and novel were no longer as cheerful and novel as before, and instead looked a little worried.
However, after seeing the flying blue bird flag and the Son of God walking in the team, some of their worries and fears caused by heading into the unknown territory also dissipated.
The Son of God still has the Blue Bird Flag, and he is with me and others, so what is there to be afraid of?
Not to mention, Shenzi and the others have already built some preliminary houses there, and also discovered delicious rice and sweet millet stalks.
The reason why I and others went there this time was to build it up with the Son of God.
It is not only necessary to build walls and houses, but also to open up fields there and plant delicious rice and sweet millet stalks that can be used to make sugar around the tribe.
When the time comes, all you can see at a glance are rice and sweet millet stalks that can be eaten, just like the main tribe now, when you look at it at a glance, there are millet, soybeans and other crops everywhere.
After such thoughts and beautiful scenes emerged in their minds, these minors no longer felt uneasy. On the contrary, they could not wait to come to Jinguan City as soon as possible and devote themselves to the construction of the sub-tribes.
Build the sub-tribes as quickly as possible, just like when the Son of God and the leaders built the main tribe in the beginning...
Moving forward in time, we arrived at Jinguan City, where there was still only one house.
With the departure of Han Cheng and others, the place once again restored its previous tranquility and serenity, with some of the primitive confusion in the serenity.
Various water birds are active in this swamp.
Some were standing there motionless like old monks in trance, some were moving gracefully with their long legs, and some were singing loudly.
One or two of them put one leg on the ground and stretched the other leg backwards. At the same time, the wings on that side also spread out, making it look like they were stretching.
"￥%6@3!"
It was in this atmosphere that shouts sounded from a distance.
Some people emerged from the grass that reached almost to the person's chest.
These people were wearing animal skins, holding some crude weapons and other miscellaneous things in their hands. They were the older female primitives who set out from the tribe a few days ago and headed here.
One line.
At this time, the older primitive woman who was walking at the front stood up on tiptoes and stretched out her arms, pointing at the slave yard on the high ground in the distance, and shouted excitedly, with some show off in her excitement.
After all, she led people to discover such a magical cave and explore its true function.
If it weren't for her, how could her tribe have such a good cave to live in?
The rest of the people who followed also looked in the direction of the older primitive woman's finger and saw the strange cave located in the highlands.
They had already received some information about the cave from the older primitive women, and they looked at the strange cave from a distance, with novelty and excitement.
As the older primitive women said, this strange cave belongs to their tribe.
Being able to have such a cave is undoubtedly a very happy thing for them.
So, the next moment there was a lot of excited shouts.
Then these people waded through the weeds waiting for these things, jumping and running around.
Such movement soon startled the birds that were peacefully living here.
So, soon there was the sound of flapping wings, and large flocks of birds took off from this large body of water, like pieces of rapidly moving clouds.
Several primitive people looked at the flock of birds flying overhead, couldn't help shouting loudly, and threw the sticks or stones they held in their hands with all their strength.
However, this behavior was obviously in vain. The object thrown in his hand fell to the ground without even touching a single bird feather.
These people could only watch the birds swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva, say a few words, then find the weapons that had just been thrown, and then continue to move downstream along the shore.
After arriving at the place where they had gone to the other side, they entered the water carefully, stepping on the mud and some plants growing on it, and headed towards the other side.
They couldn't wait to go to the strange cave and take a closer look at the new cave belonging to their tribe.
This desire was so urgent that they didn't even pay attention to the delicious little fruits growing in the water.
After a somewhat arduous trek, these people with muddy legs arrived on the other side of the water.
After rubbing their muddy feet vigorously on the grass on the shore a few times to get the mud off their feet, these people, led by the older female primitives, headed directly towards the strange-looking
Go into the cave.
“#￥5@#d!”
After a while, these people with mud on their legs and animal skins around their bodies came to the slave yard in Jinguan City.
The closer you get, the more you can feel the height of this weird thing.
The cave they lived in before was halfway up the mountain and integrated into the mountain. It was actually larger than this small slave courtyard.
But because it is connected with the mountain peak, after comparison, it seems not very eye-catching.
Now this house stands alone in this place where there is not much. Without the mountains to set it off, it naturally looks taller.
This is actually the same as Mount Tai, the first of the Five Mountains. In terms of tallness and majesty, Mount Tai, which is on the third step, is not as good as many mountains on the first and second steps. However, it is set off by the surrounding flat terrain, which suddenly makes it look extra special.
grew taller.
Amidst everyone's surprised voices, the older primitive woman stepped forward.
On the door knocker, the vines that were wrapped around it when they left last time were still entangled as before, with no signs of being touched, which made the older primitive women even more reassured.
It seems that what she thought before was not wrong at all, this cave was abandoned.
Otherwise, why hasn’t the people from this tribe come back after so long?
She untied the vines wrapped around it with her hands, and then reached out to push the door open.
This makes the house look as terrifying as a giant beast with its mouth open.
Some people who came here for the first time and saw these things couldn't help but clenched the weapons in their hands when they saw this scene, with a look of fear on their faces, and they were even ready to turn around and run away at any time.
Prepare.
But the older female primitive walked straight in. After walking in, she turned around and waved to them with a smile on her face, letting them all come to this weird cave.
Seeing such a scene, those who came here for the first time were all amazed and admired the courage of the older primitive women.
However, what they didn't know was that the older primitive woman with her back to them also gave her stomach a hard squeeze with her hand without leaving any trace, then pushed the door open and walked away as if nothing had happened.
Got in.
Led by the older female primitives and led by other people who had been here before and entered the house, these people gradually entered the cave that seemed extremely weird to them.
All kinds of novelties followed, especially the group of monkeys at Huaguo Mountain who had just entered Shuilian Cave.
And those who had come here before began to tell these people about their previous experiences with words and gestures. The man with the fish cage on his head even brought many people to the place where the fish cage was found.
In that room, he told everyone about the discovery of that magical, beautiful, and useful thing.
After a lot of excitement, these people finally calmed down.
They put the things they brought in a place that looked pleasing to the eye in this weird cave according to their own aesthetics, and then took out the fruits and other things they brought and started eating.
After eating like this for a while and resting in the house for a while, these people, led by the older primitive female, walked out of the house, closed the door, and headed towards the place where they had gone before.
After passing through the muddy water and walking forward for a short distance along the path that we walked not long ago, a piece of grass with its head hanging down appeared in front of us.
This grass is covered with tiny fruits.
So, under the greeting of the older primitive woman, these people descended into the muddy water again and came to the edge of the water plants covered with small fruits.
Some people spread out the animal skins they were holding, holding them with both hands, or two people pulled them apart together, and connected them under the water plants.
Others hold these grass spikes with both hands and rub or rub off the small fruits on them.
As their hands continued to move, these small fruits with shells fell down one after another.
Most of it fell on the stretched animal skin below, and a small part fell into the muddy water below.
Although these small fruits are ripe, some are still relatively strong. After such operations, most of them will fall off, but there are also scattered ones left on top.
It was obviously not the first time for these people to do these things, and their movements seemed very skillful, especially the older primitive women.
As they continued to move, the rice on this large piece of rice was gradually removed and collected by them.
After they passed by, the place became a mess. There was no rice on the rice. A large number of rice stalks were trampled down and entered the muddy water. The ones standing there also looked a little crooked...
“#45@#!”
After filling up all the animal skins she had brought, the older primitive woman spoke again and gave the order.
Under her order, these people carefully pulled up the animal skin, carefully wrapped the rice stored on it, and then carried it downstream, crossing the water from the original place, all the way
Go to the front of the slave courtyard in Jinguan City.
Under the words of the older primitive women, someone began to pull weeds vigorously, cleared an open space in front of the house, and trampled it firmly with their feet.
After completing this, the older primitive woman took the lead in spreading out the animal skin package she had brought over, and then pulled the edge of the animal skin package upwards. The rice they had just removed from the rice stalks
, and it poured to the ground.
Seeing this, the others followed the example of the older primitive women, spreading out the animal skin packages and pouring the rice wrapped in them onto the open space they had just cleared.
After everyone had done this, the older primitive woman knelt on the ground and crawled on the ground.
While crawling, he stretched out a hand and spread out a small pile of rice with his hands.
"@34￥%!"
She didn't finish such a thing. After spreading about half of the rice like this, she opened her mouth and pointed at a primitive woman and the remaining rice.
So the primitive woman followed her example and spread out the remaining small piles of grains with her hands, spreading them as evenly as possible.
After doing this for a while, the older primitive woman took these people and set off again, flowing through the water from the original position. After finding this kind of water plant, they continued to use the previous method to pick such small fruits.
In the evening, these people carried them back twice more.
There are a lot of rice piled in front of the Jinguancheng slave yard.
"Chichi~chichi~"
As the sky gradually darkened, some people began to squat there and drill wood to make fire.
While he was drilling wood to make fire, the older primitive women took some people to gather the rice that had been dried outside, covered it with animal skins, and pressed stones on top of the animal skins.
