Chapter 275: Friday?
"Let's go, let's go back."
Han Cheng stood on the canoe and looked east for a while before opening his mouth and said to Senior Brother.
"What?"
The senior brother was stunned, looked at the sun hanging in the sky and had not yet reached due south, thought that he had heard it wrong, and asked rhetorically.
Didn't the Son of God say that he would wait until tonight passed and start going back tomorrow? Why did you suddenly change your mind now?
"Let's go back."
Han Cheng didn't look back, and repeated again.
"Turn around and go back!"
The senior brother, who got the exact news, shouted to everyone with some excitement.
Although I don't know why Miko suddenly changed his mind, being able to go back early is a happy thing for this group of people who already want to go back and can't think about it.
When they heard the good news, they quickly turned the bow of the boat on the water and headed upstream.
Han Cheng waved goodbye to the East and the imaginary modern civilization.
The direct reason for Han Cheng to suddenly make such a major decision was a tiger roar.
He was not frightened by this tiger roar, but from this tiger roar, he remembered the two saber-toothed tigers he saw in the mountains and forests when he was looking for Fu Jiang before.
The saber-toothed tiger is a creature that has long been annihilated in the long river of history, and in later generations, there is absolutely no saber-toothed tiger.
It was precisely because he suddenly realized this, so he would let the senior brothers and them return after being silent for a while.
There's no need to explore the road ahead.
If there is a species like the saber-toothed tiger that should have disappeared a long time ago, it means that this cannot be a civilized society.
I should have thought of this a long time ago!
Han Cheng, who was in a relaxed mood and a little lost, patted his head lightly, thinking with some chagrin.
Four small boats sail upstream, this time in search of useful species, and this is the end of the trip to verify whether the outside is a civilized world.
The sound of the water was soft, and the cheerful people drove towards the place where they had come.
"Stop!"
Han Cheng suddenly said out loud.
Everyone was stunned, what's wrong with the Son of God today, he just said that he was leaving, why did he suddenly stop again?
"Look there!"
Han Cheng pointed to a place on the south bank of the lower reaches of the river and said to everyone.
When the senior brother and the others heard that they were all facing upstream, only Han Cheng was looking with his back to the downstream.
At this time, when they heard Han Cheng say this, they all looked along the place Han Cheng pointed to, and saw that under the blue sky and white sun, there was a column of smoke rising flutteringly.
If there is a smoke column, it means that there are people.
Along the way, Han Cheng and the others had not met anyone yet, and when they saw it at this time, they naturally felt strange.
"Go see?"
The place where the smoke is coming from here is not too far away, just turn a river bend and you will be there.
Although everyone wanted to go back as soon as possible, they were also quite curious about the sudden rise of the pillar of smoke, and the distance was not too far, so after thinking about it for a while, they turned the head of the boat again and headed downstream, wanting to see what was going on.
It would be great if you could get some information about the neighborhood from their mouths.
Sailing down the river, the speed is naturally fast, and it didn't take long to reach the place.
The crowd chose a suitable place to dock, and the boat docked.
According to the precedents, after the boat was tied here, it was pushed far from the shore with a penny, and the oars and pennies were hidden in the grass.
Everyone held their weapons, protected Han Cheng in the middle, and headed towards the pillar of smoke, which had become much smaller.
Along the way, I trampled on the dead grass and walked through the deep weeds.
"Them!"
After walking for a while, approaching the place where the pillar of smoke rose, the leading senior brother suddenly stopped and said in surprise.
Han Cheng was short, and he was surrounded by everyone in the middle, so he couldn't see the situation there, and seeing that the senior brother and some people who had already seen the situation, suddenly this kind of reflection, he didn't know what they saw for a while, and he was anxious, so he asked out loud.
The senior brother stopped talking, thought about it, walked over and picked up Han Cheng, put it on his shoulder, and the vision in front of him suddenly became clear.
Not too far away, a large fire was lit, and a group of primitive people surrounded by animal skins gathered around the fire, and there were as many as eighty or ninety of them.
There's nothing strange about that, isn't there?
Isn't it a very normal thing for primitive people to ignite?
Although their behavior around the fire looked a little strange at this time, they shouldn't be so surprised, senior brother.
Han Cheng thought like this, and his eyes were quickly attracted by the movements of a few people there who looked relatively strong.
They walked away from the fire, came to a distance from the fire, bent down, and walked back.
Not empty-handed, but carrying a person.
Is this someone in the tribe who died and is being buried at this time?
Han Cheng looked at this scene and thought to himself.
In this day and age, the worship and fear of fire was widespread.
In addition, the tools were rudimentary, and it was difficult to dig the land, so after death, most of them were burned by fire.
Buried in the earth, it does not exist, or it rarely exists.
Han Cheng thought like this, and suddenly smiled, this is very similar to the later life.
However, as soon as the idea of a funeral appeared, it was dispelled by what happened next.
The one who was being carried, Han Cheng thought it was a corpse, suddenly deceived the corpse as the distance from the fire narrowed, and struggled violently.
Near the fire, he actually broke free from the two people who were carrying him, staggering and running lifelessly, and the direction of running was exactly where Han Cheng and the others were.
The man had barely gone far before he was pressed and dragged back.
Han Cheng saw that someone seemed to be hitting him with a stone or something similar to a spear, and this person let out a bitter cry.
What's going on? Sacrifice with a living person?
Han Cheng looked at this extremely primitive and bloody scene, his face turned a little pale, and he suppressed the discomfort in his heart.
However, the speculation about this soon ceased.
It's not that they got the answer, but the people of the tribe over there have already discovered their existence and look at them with some vigilance.
Some of them had already raised their weapons in front of them, and an incomprehensible voice came, apparently asking them.
It doesn't seem like much of a friendly tribe.
Senior brother and they also noticed the change on the other side, so they hurriedly put Han Cheng down, took off the rattan shield behind their backs and blocked it in front of them, and protected Han Cheng behind them.
There were four others who took the vine shield with him, and the rest also took their own weapons.
According to the previous training, the five people with rattan shields such as the senior brother formed a protective wall at the front, and the seven people with spears were waiting for the others.
On the left, Senior Brother Sha led two archers, who had already taken bows and arrows in their hands, and the two on the right who used slings also loaded stone bullets into them.
The nineteen people who traveled this time, except for Han Cheng and Liang, a half-hung doctor who was far from being a teacher, the remaining seventeen people were all people who often participated in training.
Among them, Senior Brother, Senior Brother Yan, and Senior Brother Sha are all captains of their respective teams.
The vine shield team, as well as the people of the spear team, can not play a big role in the battle that relies on the wall for defense, and the place where this combination can play its best role is in the field, so among the people who came to Han Cheng this time, the vine shield team and the spear team have the most, a total of twelve.
Slings and bows and arrows are the best for defense.
Especially the sling, the movement is too big, and the requirements for the surrounding environment are relatively high, such as the need for a relatively open place, so Han Chengcheng only brought two slings and three archers.
