Chapter 438: The Fire Tribe Coming in the Season of Peeling Hemp

Autumn is getting stronger, and the air in the early morning is chilly.

The people of the Blue Sparrow tribe no longer wear 'fashion-garde' bikinis, but instead wear clothes made of fur.

The clothes they wear now are made of thinner leather, and when the weather gets colder, they will change into thicker clothes.

As pottery and salt were continuously transported out by the hard-working donkey tribe, the skins of the Qingque tribe became more and more.

At some of the tributaries of the upper reaches of the river, Zhuang and Qinghua, dressed in straw sandals, were cleaning the millet from the water with a dustpan and a small sieve made of coarse linen and wood.

At this time, there were already as many as four water mills here.

The four water mills are filled with water with two bamboo pipes, one after another, like four people who keep pecking rice and eating big roosters.

The sound of an empty space came from here, spreading out into the early morning field, lining the surroundings more and more peacefully.

Zhuang and Qinghua, looking at these water mills, became more and more happy.

In the past, they would have backache and no strength after half a day, but now it is completely different.

With the water mill, the two of them can carry out rice making all day without interruption, and they don't feel too tired.

Because the water mill is tireless, so now under the four water mills, they can scoop more rice in one day than they have scooped in the past two days.

It is said that with such efficiency, they don't have to get up so early in the morning to make rice, they only need to eat half a day a day, which is enough for the people in the tribe to eat.

That's what they thought at first, but after Miko told them that winter was coming and the river was going to freeze, they immediately became diligent.

Yes, in the winter, after the river froze, the water was no longer usable, and if you think about the situation in the cold winter, holding the stick in your hand and making rice, the two of them immediately became extremely diligent.

At this time, while the water is available, it is better to store more millet.

In this way, when the time comes, they can stay in the warm house and rub twine, or when the sun is right, they can sit in the leeward with the rest of the tribe and bask in the sun while making some shoes, gloves and other clothes......

"Boom la la ......"

The calm water was broken, and a stick with a wooden hook was withdrawn from the water, and with it came a bundle of hemp that had been soaked in the water for a long time.

The hemp had been soaked beyond recognition, the hemp skin was peeling off, revealing white fibers, and the whole bundle of hemp had a layer of slippery, dark green stuff.

With the appearance of this bundle of hemp, the smell that was originally sealed under the water suddenly diffused and filled the nostrils of the surrounding people.

This year, the hemp made by the Qingque tribe was planted by their tribe itself.

Because there is no need to go back and forth to Yau Ma Tei, even if it takes some more time, it is much earlier than last year.

The benefits and many uses of linen cloth have been experienced by the people of the Qingque tribe, so now they have started to peel hemp, and the enthusiasm of one or two is very high.

Compared with other jobs, peeling hemp is very troublesome, but it is not tiring, so most of the people who peel hemp here now are the old and weak of the Qingque tribe and some people who are not very strong.

The strong ones were led away by the senior brother one or twenty, carrying the stone skull and bone shovel, and some tree ferns and other things, all the way to the salt mountain.

It is not to go there to make salt, but to go to the springs on the edge of the salt mountain, dig traps, and catch some prey for the winter.

After all, rabbits can only get some small prey, and they can't do anything to deal with big ones.

Yanshan Spring is now a good hunting ground, because the people of the Qingque tribe often cook salt there, and the water there is somewhat salty, so after the people who cook salt in the tribe leave, there are more and more animals who go there to drink.

Senior Brother and the others had the idea of going there to hunt before, but Han Cheng didn't agree, now that there is a trap, and they are relatively idle, it is a good time to harvest a wave.

The animals there really have to be harvested, otherwise when there are more and more, the people of the Qingque tribe may be attacked if they go to boil salt.

Han Cheng didn't interfere in the matter of stripping hemp this time, in fact, since he taught everyone how to operate last year, he didn't interfere much in this work, not that he was too lazy, but that the taste was too touching.

While everyone was peeling hemp, Han Jianli looked downstream by the river.

Occasionally, yellowish or reddish leaves roll away with the waves.

Bai Xuemei, who had been changed into a braid, stood beside Han Cheng and looked towards the downstream of the river together.

She knew that Brother Cheng was waiting for the people from the tribe she was originally to come to.

Calculate the time, the people of the Fire Tribe should have arrived at this time, why is it still missing?

Looking at the empty river, Han Cheng couldn't help but feel a little worried and anxious.

The Fire Tribe was an important part of the plan he envisioned.

It's also a long line he lays.

If the people of the Fire Tribe don't come this year, it means that all the things he envisioned about the Fire Tribe before will basically become utopian.

Not only will the textile of the Qingque tribe be affected, but also the long-term development and expansion in the future will also be affected.

"Brother Cheng, look!"

When she was thinking about it like this, Bai Xuemei on the side suddenly let out a surprised voice and pointed to the downstream of the river with her finger.

The small river, which was not too wide, flowed down for a while, and when it was far away, it became a bright ribbon.

On the originally empty belt, several black shadows suddenly appeared at this time.

It was a few standing figures!

After the figure became larger, the boat they sat on slowly appeared in view.

If you come to the tribe at this time of year, and you still come by boat, then there is a chance that it will be the fire tribe.

Han Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face.

He immediately ordered people to go back and pack up some of the things in the tribe that were easy to imitate and that he didn't want the people of the Fire Tribe to learn.

Then, not far from the river, I also saw everyone coming by boat, standing there to watch the fire tribe getting closer and closer.

“%¥%……!”

The people of the Fire Tribe who were rocking the oars also saw Han Cheng and them standing by the river, the four people who had been to the Qingque Tribe and lived here for a while, turned their heads to the other four and said with excitement.

Meaning, we're not wrong, right? It was a very hospitable friendly and hospitable tribe who were already here to greet us before we arrived.

The other four people, looking at this scene, suddenly had the feeling that they were collecting hemp from Yau Ma Tei that time, and the people of their own tribe stood by the river to greet each other, which was very cordial.

At this time, when they heard the words of these people, they all nodded vigorously, this is indeed a very friendly and hospitable tribe.

The boat and the raft docked, and Han Cheng, accompanied by the second senior brother who heard the news, and several other people, welcomed the arrival of the Fire Tribe.

Then he led these eight people from the Fire Tribe, who were a little fluttery in their walks because of the long boat ride, to the tribe.

“#¥¥!”

Before reaching the tribe, the people of the Fire tribe suddenly exclaimed.
