Snow does not turn snow cold, but this is not true in space, because as long as it is in winter, every day is super cold, and the chariot cannot enter the Monkey Valley, but it can build a temporary shelter outside the valley.

This is the diversity of chariots, for a few days, the warriors entered the monkey to inquire during the day, and returned to the mouth of the valley at night to rest, and a team of fifty warriors had already been led by Qin Shou to explore the way.

Originally, the goldfinch bird could have jumped over to check, but the winter affected the travel of the bird, so I simply used the old way, because I might encounter such a situation in the future, and I didn't always expect a bird to cheat.

Zhang Heng's body at this time has reached the point where he is not afraid of the cold, and he has lived in the valley with a little elite, observing the form of the monkey group every day, which is the source of the tribal monkey group, and it is precisely because of this place that the nearby monkey group is thriving, and it is increasing exaggeratedly every year, and the larger the base, the faster the growth rate.

In reality, in one day, there will be thousands more monkeys in the tribe, and this is only the number of the tribe contained, and there are even more large numbers that have been scattered into the forest, in the four directions of east, west, north and south.

The individual combat effectiveness of the monkey group is not strong, and although they know how to change their combined attacks, for example, last time they were constructed from three thousand monkeys into a giant ape, but they only have a powerful form and no corresponding matching combat power, at most it should be called creativity, which seems to be a little stronger than the primitive people.

Maybe it's because of the difference between the animal form and the human form, but the monkey is also a primate species, and it is loved by the heavens, because it has wisdom that other animals do not have!

"King. What are you thinking? Can you tell me you know? Su Xiu asked softly, as a person who has stayed by the Sun King's side for many years. How could it not be seen that something was wrong with the Sun King.

Zhang Heng smiled slightly, and replied half-jokingly: "Buddha said." Unspeakable! ”

――――――――――

After the rest, dozens of half-apes were captured, of course, full of wildness at this time, after a long time, they will merge into the tribe, and now Taihao's half-apes and congenital born apes have added up to more than three hundred, and the descendants of this kind of evolutionary species are basically congenital apes, or the probability of becoming half-apes is greater.

After another two days, Qin Shou brought people back. Fifty people went out, and when they came back, there were four fewer people, which made Zhang Heng furious, Taihao's population has been accurate to single digits, and the detailed population situation will be sent to him every full moon, and if more than three people die in a day, he will be told immediately, basically making human life greater.

There is also good news, eight babies have been born in the tribe, which is 60 years old. It's not easy, according to his understanding, the pregnancy time of primitive people is actually only about seven months, and the space is in the early two hundred years. It looks like it's been a long time, but in fact, after the population is on the right track, newborn babies will be born one after another. Once these babies are able to crawl, they will be taught uniformly. Basking in the glory of the Sun King, he grew up.

But when he grew up, he was thirteen years old as the fighting age. By that time, Zhang Heng had reached the age of thirty, and this generation of babies could still be used by him, but the later generations were estimated to be only for his sons.

smiled, who can say clearly what will happen in ten years, as for his righteous son Zhang Mu, he is still too young, and now he just wants to teach, but it is not yet time.

"What happened?" Zhang Heng asked with a straight face.

"King, fall, water, fall!" It's not that Qin Shou isn't smart enough, it's that the things he encountered this time haven't happened before, so naturally he doesn't know how to express it.

But it was soon translated, and it turned out to be a swampy place, and four warriors fell into it and were not rescued.

He'd only seen this kind of swamp on TV, but he could imagine what it was like to step on a sinking farmland.

"It's not good to be out of school!" Zhang Heng shook his head helplessly, it was too risky for thousands of people to cross the swamp, although Qin Shou didn't say exactly how big the swamp was, but this was in winter, and the environment was originally unfavorable to primitive people.

"Have you found any traces of human activity?" Zhang Heng asked the key.

This time, Qin Shou thought for a while, and then ran to communicate with the soldiers who traveled together, before he replied: "Yes, very few!" ”

There really is, "Is Monkey Valley easy to cross?" "The group had been out for days.

"It's not good, it's hard to climb up!" Qin Shou quickly replied.

Zhang Heng nodded, and said in a soothing tone: "Let the soldiers all go to rest, let me think about this matter again." ”

He didn't speak, the army naturally couldn't move, at this time he faced the Monkey Valley and wrote on the ground, Su Xiu took a few animal skins and spread them out beside him, this is a map near Taihao, a large area has been drawn, and the west side stops at the Monkey Valley.

"The southwest is the direction Tashi is taking, and the terrain in the northwest is more complex and precipitous, Su Xiu, which way do you think you should go?" Zhang Heng didn't bring the wizard and the expert group out this time, after all, the climate was unfavorable to the old people, and Su Xiu was the only one who could discuss with him.

"Wang, I suddenly remembered a story in the ideological and moral character class in elementary school." Su Xiu replied to the question.

Zhang Heng immediately became interested and said with a smile: "It's not easy, you can still remember the things in class." ”

Su Xiu was a little embarrassed for a moment, but he kept talking, and explained: "I don't remember very well, it seems to say that there is a powerful person in our country who invented the rice that we eat now, and in the process I went through a lot of difficulties, and was smashed in the laboratory or something, and finally found rice research in the swamp, and there is only one plant, and it is this one plant that everyone can eat rice now......"

"Ahem~~!" A black line appeared on Zhang Heng's forehead, but although Su Xiu's story was told like this, he added: "Later, after the success of hybrid rice, a female reporter went to interview, and she ate four large bowls of rice with kimchi, hehe." ”

"So you know, I'm not wrong." Su Xiuxi said.

Zhang Heng directly ignored the details of the story and replied, "You want to tell me that rice may appear in the swamp." ”

"Yes, that's what it means. Now only the Jiang tribe is cultivating rice, although He Lao is cultivating rice seed fields. But it has to be cultivated every year, which is troublesome. And glutinous rice that does not need to be specially cultivated seeds is too sticky, and it is not as fragrant as rice, and it is not appetizing! Su Xiu said eloquently.

Lao He, a botanist, has a status because he knows how to cultivate seedlings and so on, especially for the hybrid rice brought in in by modern times, which must be specially reserved for seeds, as well as corn seeds, which must also be specially pollinated to be used as seeds. Otherwise, the seeds can grow seedlings, but in the end there is no fruit harvest, then it is a tragedy, which is equivalent to planting in vain.

Only sweet potatoes and wheat do not need to be specially cultivated in seeds, and perhaps because of this, these two crops have stood tall since they appeared and have become the mainstream species of cultivation.

"Well, you have a point, maybe there really are rice-like plants in the sacred land? If you talk about the environment. It is really only possible to grow in swamps that are naturally similar to farmland, because there are no animals on the swamps to destroy their growth, and the temperature and humidity are suitable all year round, but. Su Xiu, didn't you notice that it was winter? The rice is harvested in the summer! Zhang Heng said speechlessly.

Only then did a black line appear on Su Xiu's forehead, and she really didn't take this problem into account. Or I don't know exactly what season the rice is planted and harvested, uh!

"Huh. Actually, it's not impossible! Zhang Heng pondered for a moment and said, the rice has just passed the winter. It is now early winter, it is not impossible to have residual particles, or seedlings that have developed in advance, the former is better, the latter is not easy to identify, there are too many grasses in the space, and there are not only small seedlings that grow like rice on the roadside, but there are also a lot, but in the end they are all deformed, and there is nothing to do with rice.

"Pass the order, the soldiers are divided into three routes, Bu Gu, you take four hundred people to the southwest, pay attention to the traces of Tashi's walking along the way, come back before the summer at the latest, come back early without limiting the time, just to explore the way, portray the topography, the population and prey are secondary, pay attention to protecting the lives of the soldiers!"

He also said: "Wu Yao, you also take four hundred people and go out from the northwest, but it is a little different from the cuckoo, your purpose is to find the population, and also understand the situation in the northwest direction, you grew up in the west, that is a place you are quite familiar with, work hard, I hope you can bring back the four hundred soldiers completely, you can be injured, but not dead!" ”

"King, Cuckoo (Wu Yao) understands!" The two responded excitedly, it is not easy to lead four hundred warriors alone like this, and the king of Yuming is only assigned a few hundred warriors.

Zhang Heng nodded, he was still more relieved about the two of them, and said: "Qin Shou, you take the remaining two hundred people with me and go to the west again, cross the Monkey Valley, the bearded and the clouds, and the two of you will also follow with the fifty archers." ”

Since it is possible to encounter a swamp, the melee attack is almost useless, the long-range attack is the biggest guarantee, the most powerful long-range attack warriors in the tribe have basically brought, the hit rate of the cloud is not as high as the beard, but the strength is greater, and the shot is farther, the power is one and a half times that of the bearded, with the metal arrow, even the fierce beast can swim a fight.

"Set off tomorrow, if there is a danger that you can't handle, light the wolf smoke, and I will summon the Golden-winged Sky Bird to arrive quickly!" Zhang Heng asked himself that even if he could fight a fierce beast of the level of the giant snake in the deep pool, there should be no irresistible threat, at least he could buy time for the soldiers to evacuate to prevent the casualties from being too heavy, this is just an expectation, not that this will really happen, but it is not certain, so there is this order.

――――――――

Early the next morning, Zhang Heng and his entourage of more than 200 people stepped into the Monkey Valley, and in just a few days, this group of new generation monkeys has seen the power of the invaders, and they penetrated the past unimpeded all the way, directly to the other end of the valley, and there are marks left by Qin Shou along the way.

What's more, Qin Shou, who grew up in the forest since he was a child, didn't say that he was lost, and when he reached the edge of the valley, Zhang Heng finally understood what Qin Shou meant when he said that it was difficult to climb, not to talk about others, even if he came to climb, it was not easy for him to climb, as for Su Xiu, it was not just a matter of physical fitness, but also of a strong heart.

"Go up a few people first, and then throw the rope down!" Zhang Heng said loudly, in fact, Qin Shou used this method before, but on the day of the delay, the remaining rattan was taken away by the monkey. I had to do it all over again.

Because the distance of the height is too long, even if there is a rattan, it cannot be fully stressed. It's just to assist and prevent falling during the climb, but that's enough.

Zhang Heng actually wanted to summon three thousand monkeys to become a giant ape again. But the monkeys in it didn't listen to his command, and the two thousand they brought were already scattered all over the valley, and they couldn't be distinguished, so they didn't choose this cheap, but it was a pity that he didn't shoot the scene when he was in the Cloud Tribe, because he was also shocked and had an incredible feeling.

Su Xiu was almost carried to the top of the mountain by him, and after everyone climbed up, it was another problem to greet them. How to get down the mountain? Looking at the place where there was a mist, Qin Shou didn't describe this kind of scene, but once he had it, it would be easy to verbalize it in the future, and he didn't really teach primitive people for a while, so he talked to Qin Shou on a whim, and taught a lot of modern knowledge, and he didn't know how much Qin Shou could understand.

Suddenly, his mind moved, and he said loudly: "Qin Shou." When my sister Ah Fang comes in, you will also listen to the class with you, how much can you learn! ”

"Ah Fang!" The clever Qin Shou actually only responded to this one word.

made Zhang Heng quite speechless, only thinking that Qin Shou was because he was giving some order about his sister. Smiled, not to say more, as for the delay here. It was because he had no intention of going down the mountain today, because it was already dark. If it is dangerous to go down the mountain at night, I will simply stay on the mountain for one night tonight. There are not many people, so they can be arranged to stay, and there is no shortage of food, so they can support a short time just by bringing it out.

Suddenly remembered that when the ancient Chinese army crossed the Shu Road, it was actually more dangerous than the road he was facing now, and he could pay the price of his life at any time if he used the body of a modern person to climb over the uninhabited mountains.

And for primitive people, it was just a little troublesome, even if Qin Shou and his party encountered a swamp before and fell into more than 20 people, they only lost four people, this is still a sudden encounter with a swamp, without the slightest experience and preparation.

The darkness will eventually disappear, and the dawn will usher in again, a new day will come, bad luck, after a few days of rest in the sky, it will snow again, this is the third snow of this winter, and by about the fifth time the whole earth will turn into a snow-white, and the snow will sink the calves into it, and then there will be continuous snowfall, and the winter is really difficult, whether it is for people or animals!

However, Taihao had already prepared and made long boots, which were woven from a special plant and animal skin, and the heating effect was not strong, but it could isolate the invasion of moisture, but it was not yet time to use it.

Chunba can go out naked in the snow, and primitive people can last for a long time in the open snow, as long as they can warm and eat before reaching the limit, they will not freeze their bodies, which is a strong body adapted to the environment.

Only Su Xiu was already wrapped in a thick coat and looked bloated, which made her regret proposing to explore the swamp, but if she really found something valuable, then her credit would not be less, and a woman's ambition can sometimes overcome all difficulties, such as "Beautiful frozen man!" Strong men will catch a cold when they wear shorts in winter, but women in short skirts can keep their faces ruddy, and it's actually that simple to challenge the limit!

It's easy to go up the mountain and hard to go down, this saying is a response to the scene, it's only half a day to go up the mountain, but it took more than half a day up and down, if all the battles are brought, the delay will be longer, Zhang Heng admires himself for adjusting the personnel arrangements in advance.

After another day, Zhang Heng finally understood that the five days that Qin Shou had delayed were not a waste of time, but that the environment here was really too unsuitable for collective action, shrouded in clouds and mist, from early morning to sunset, almost never dissipated, even at noon, but the fog was a little thinner, and he couldn't see too far away.

It had just snowed, and although it didn't last, the grass and trees had piled up, which affected the speed of movement to some extent, and the ground began to get wetter and wetter, and the environment here seemed to be cut by the mountains.

And there is no trace of monkeys moving here, even where the monkeys don't come, in fact, if you pay attention to this, you can find that there is a problem here, Zhang Heng is actually an afterthought, and he will not pay attention to it when he comes for the first time, so that it will not affect him and Qin Shou and others.

As soon as these words came out, they immediately ushered in worship and cheers, but Zhang Heng estimated that maybe Qin Shou and they had already thought of it, this was to give him face!

Counting the time, after another half a day, he finally came to the swampy land, along the way Zhang Heng saw the traces of human activities in Qin Shou's mouth, but he couldn't tell it at all, so he could only selectively believe that what Qin Shou said was right.

But I didn't see any other primitive people, and the heavy snow covered up a lot of traces that should have been easily found!

"There, there, there, king!" Qin Shou shouted.

Zhang Heng's expression became solemn, because there was no difference between the place in front of him and the place under his feet, even if he looked closely, he couldn't see the reason, of course Qin Shou couldn't let it go, and the four lives were lost here.

However, he prefers to believe that there is a way out in the dangerous swamp, there have been many successful cases in human history, but it is too risky and too complicated for primitive people, he just came to see if there was rice, and he was not very interested in crossing the swamp, and choosing to spare the past is the best choice.

"Slow down, everyone is divided into three rows, all following closely in the footsteps of the person in front, and the archers are standing on the side crossed left and right!" Zhang Heng explained that he didn't understand the art of war, but he knew how to balance, and he also figured out some experiences in adapting to the environment.

He, Qin Shou, and Yun, the three of them are in the front, the beard is in the second row, he can catch people into reality at the critical moment, and he can also disappear with his body, and then come in after figuring out a way, so he also explained to Su Xiu, if he and some people in front of him suddenly disappear, let her take people back to the foot of the mountain to wait, or return to the Monkey Valley first, this is only the estimated back road, not afraid of 10,000, just in case.

Of course, he also explained that Qin Shou and the others must not make a noise once they arrive in his room, otherwise they will be discovered by their mother, but they will not be able to explain clearly.

Everything is ready, with a spear in his hand and he starts to explore the way, he doesn't have to go far, just choose the edge of the swamp to wander, and when he walks through, he inserts a wooden stick, so that the people behind can follow the edge, as for the pattern of the rice, he has already carved it and distributed it, if anyone finds it, there will be a huge reward, this reward is to eat rice casually in the future, no limit, this is too tempting for primitive people who cherish food, everyone opens their eyes wide, wanting to see through the fog and find the plant pattern depicted by the Sun King!

But how can things be so simple, Zhang Heng's exploration took several days of effort, to spare a lot of distance from the swamp, but also found that this distance has no edge, the swamp is far bigger than imagined, there is no end in sight, and the route cannot be distinguished, the weather is getting colder and colder, seeing that the fourth snow is about to fall, which makes him a little panicked, he has to be responsible for these soldiers who are loyal to him.

"Look over there, King!" A warrior suddenly shouted.

This is strange, everyone didn't notice it, but there was a different voice, but Zhang Heng chose to believe it, although he didn't see anything clearly, he quickly chased after him, and after a while, he was dumbfounded, there was actually a ...... here
