The mother of the second insect reached out and touched the light head of the second insect.

The second insect without unkempt hair looks a little unaccustomed, but such a head is very comfortable to touch with your hands, which actually makes the mother of the second insect feel like she can't put it down.

Looking at it, it turned out that the unkempt hair of the men of a tribe had now been cut off by that sharp knife, and the short hair looked like an urge to reach out and touch it.

In fact, not only those men and male children, but also the female primitive people such as the mother of the second worm, are now very different from before.

Some of their messy hair was cut off, and the rest of it was carefully scrubbed with warm water after being smeared with something that looked delicious and called 'soap'.

Covered with the white, cloud-like foam of the sky, the hair that used to look messy is now fragrant, braided into a big braid, tied with a rope, and looks very neat.

This kind of method of processing hair, which had never been seen before, made the mother of the second insect and other female primitives in the original semi-peasant tribe like it at once.

On top of the hair, women are always willing to work hard, and so are the mothers of the two worms.

Washing the hair, combing it with something called a comb made of bamboo, braiding it, and tying it with a rope is something that men do with pleasure.

This kind of troublesome change in the hair is what the mother of the two worms would like to see, because in this way, not only do they look good, but there is such a clear difference that they don't have to run to people to see if their breasts are high to distinguish whether they are male or female.

And, after washing their hair, they were all taught by the tribe to comb their hair over and over again with something that looked like a comb, but was much finer, called a grate.

The little bugs that were hidden in the hair in the past, which could not be caught and were extremely distressing, were quickly combed out.

Squeezing these little insects with her fingernails, making a crackling sound, it makes people feel happy to listen to them, and the mother of the second insect likes to do these things the most.

Not only that, but they were ordered to bathe in such seasons, and they had to scrub all the ashes off their bodies, and if anyone dared to do so, someone in the tribe would press them to a hot tank of water and carry a large brush made of wild boar hair, and scrub them back and forth.

It was not at all pleasant to be washed by a brush made of hard boar hair, and after three or four people were treated so roughly in a row, listening to their miserable howls, the rest of the people did not dare to slack off.

At that time, when taking a bath, the mother of the second worm, like many people in the tribe, complained a little about these things that had nothing to do, after all, they basically didn't take a bath in the past, and they lived just as well, how could there be so many rules after arriving in this tribe?

But now, the mother of the second insect has no complaints about this, and even likes to take a bath.

Because after taking a bath, the body is bare, warm, and the whole person suddenly becomes a lot lighter.

Looking at her hand that could see the true color of her skin, the mother of the second insect let go of the hand that was holding the braid and grasped the animal skin wrapped around her body.

These skins are very soft, although they are still the original skins, but after being thrown into the burning vat by the people of this tribe and boiled and dried vigorously, they become soft.

Not only that, but the little insects that burrowed inside the hides were all boiled to death, and now when worn on the body, they are warm and soft, and they will no longer make people feel itchy......

These troublesome things, when they first did it, gave the mother of the second worm a headache, but after doing more, after experiencing the benefits inside, gradually I didn't feel uncomfortable, but I liked these again.

The mother of the second insect has been compared with the original tribe more than once, and the female priestess who originally looked very wise to them now feels less intelligent when they look at it again.

Because these things are not complicated, but they can make people feel comfortable, the female priestess of their own tribe does not know.

Moreover, the pottery made by the female priestess is not comparable to the current tribe at all.

The bowls they use to eat now are better than the best pottery ever made by the priestesses.

When she learned that the priestess had abandoned them, Erworm's mother felt like many people in the tribe feeling uneasy, but after living in this tribe for a while, Erworm's mother didn't feel this way at all, and even felt that it was a good thing for the priestess to abandon them many times.

For after the priestess abandoned them, they had wiser, younger sons of God.

Of course, the things that make the mother of the second worm feel troublesome first and then like it are not the big chopsticks and the kind of language that makes people want to bite their tongues.

But there was no way, they had to learn these two things, because they couldn't eat without those two little wooden sticks called 'chopsticks'.

The same is true of this kind of awkward language, everyone has to learn five every day, if one can't learn, you have to eat less food, and if you can't learn two, you have to go hungry.

Under the protest of their stomachs, under the temptation of food, they can only do their best to learn this tongue that is so awkward that it is painful.

This language, called Mandarin, is really head-scratching to learn.

And that's not the worst part, it's the pattern that's called kanji.

These patterns look square one by one, and in the eyes of the mother of the two insects and the vast majority of the people of the semi-peasant tribe, these patterns are the same, but the people who teach them in the tribe can point out their differences.

In the past, the mother of the second insect only admired the strong male primitive who could bring back a lot of food, but now, the mother of the second insect has changed.

I have even more admiration for people who can 'draw' these patterns and recognize them one by one.

Because it seemed to her that it was more difficult than hunting, but fortunately, the people of this tribe did not force them to learn this......

Han Cheng, who had been tortured enough of English, could understand the mood of these people very well, and seeing them being tortured while learning Chinese, Han Chengcheng felt extremely happy.

This kind of pleasure is only a little worse than seeing those foreign friends scratching their ears and cheeks and roaring in the sky as they are tortured to learn Chinese.

Of course, Han Cheng's exuberance was only for a moment, when his gaze was taken away from the hairless half-peasant tribe slaves who were tortured by the Chinese language, and landed on the food that was decreasing at a rate that was visible to the naked eye, this exuberance was immediately replaced by a melancholy with a flesh pain.

According to his previous concept, when the people of the tribe were digging earth to build houses, a cylindrical grain cellar with a depth of more than four meters and a diameter of more than ten meters had already taken shape, and the grass huts on it had been built to protect them from the wind and rain.

However, the built grain cellar is still empty.

There is no other reason than that, because there are more than 200 mouths in the tribe that need to eat at once.

Fighting a war has always been more than just force. Grain and grass are very important things.

This can be seen from the Qingque tribe's conquest against the semi-peasant tribe this time.

The long march, coupled with the more than 200 people of the Blue Sparrow Alliance, the consumption of food was extremely staggering.

This time, they plundered a lot of food from the semi-peasant tribe, but their food was far less high-quality than the food of the Qingque tribe, and they could only barely make up for the food consumption of this expedition.

However, it is made up for it, but from now on, the more than two hundred mouths for eating can only be fed by the Qingque tribe.

This open mouth is a bottomless pit for absorbing food, but there is no way, and they still have to be raised.

If it weren't for the bronze casting plow, which increased the efficiency of cultivation in the tribe, expanded the area of cultivated land, greatly increased the total grain production, and increased the tribe with so many mouths at once, even Han Chengdu would be extremely melancholy.

After years of development, the population of the Qingque tribe has grown extremely rapidly.

After successively absorbing the pig tribe, the bone tribe, the green tribe, the donkey tribe, the Huangguo tribe and the remaining sheep tribe, coupled with the improvement and improvement of the living conditions and medical and health conditions of the Qingque tribe, the number of babies born in these years and the survival rate have been greatly improved.

So by now, the total population of the citizens of the Qingque tribe has reached five hundred and thirteen!

Of these, there were two hundred and four adults, seventy-one males, and the remaining one hundred and thirty-three adult females.

There are 309 minors, 12 of whom are about to reach adulthood.

Now, after Han Cheng arrived, the children who were born, the earliest batch, were already eight years old when they were counted as virtual years.

Primitive people are early adults, and in the next five or six years, when these children grow up, they don't need to absorb foreign population, just their own tribe can reach twenty or more adults every year!

And that's just counting the number of citizens in the tribe, not counting the slaves in the tribe.

In the past few years, after successively gnawing down the two major tribes of the Teng Snake Tribe and the Semi-Peasant Tribe, the number of slaves in the Qingque Tribe has also increased rapidly!

Originally, there were one hundred and seventy-eight slaves from the Teng Snake tribe.

In the past few years, counting the two or three people who have died for various reasons, and counting the newly-born babies, the number of slaves of the Teng Snake tribe has increased by a few more while maintaining the original number.

Now, with the addition of more than 200 slaves from the semi-peasant tribe and a few people from the sheep tribe with tattoos on their faces, the total number of slaves in the Qingque tribe has reached 426.

Of these, there were 64 male adult slaves, 153 female adult slaves, and a total of 217 adult slaves.

Fifteen slaves were about to reach adulthood, and the remainder were relatively younger slaves, making a total of two hundred and nine.

If you add up the citizens of the Qingque tribe and the slaves of the Qingque tribe, the total population of the Qingque tribe has reached nine hundred and thirty-nine, a number that many tribes in this era are amazed!

Compared to when Han Cheng first came to the Qingque Tribe, the population of the tribe had increased by nearly twenty times!

If the men and women of the tribe work harder in the spring of next year, by the end of the 10-year year of Qingque, maybe the people in the tribe will be able to break through the 1,000-person mark!

Such a population, even in later generations, can be called a large village if it is not compared with those big villages in the plains!

With such a large population, it is a valuable asset to the Qingque tribe, but at the same time, when it is not used well, it is also a big burden for the helmsman of the tribe, and this burden only needs to look at the food consumed every day to know how big it is.

Hurry up and start spring, after the spring, the tribe can continue to cultivate land to grow food.

At the same time, you can also get some of the rest of the food to replenish, so you don't have to stick to the stored food.

As long as there is a slight amount of input, the food stored in the tribe will not be consumed so quickly.

Now, under such a large population and food pressure, even Han Cheng couldn't help but look forward to the arrival of the girl named Chun soon.

After looking at the granary for a while, and staring at the book that recorded the number of people for a while, Han Cheng's brows gradually furrowed.

His brow furrowed not because of the rate at which his daily food was consumed.

Although the consumption of food is large now, according to the storage of grain in the Qingque tribe, the food of the tribe is only a little tight, and the food shortage will not happen.

What made him frown was the number of citizens and slaves of the Blue Sparrow Tribe.

In terms of the total number of people, there were only 87 more citizens of the Qingque tribe than slaves.

If we only compare the number of adults, after the half-peasant tribe joined, there were thirteen more adult slaves in the tribe than the adult citizens of the Qingque tribe!

Such a thing is not too good news for the tribe.

According to Han Cheng's previous assumption, the ratio between citizens and slaves was two to one, which was a relatively safe line.

And now, it is the population of adult slaves that directly exceeds the citizens, which is undoubtedly a very dangerous thing.

Han Cheng didn't notice this before, but now that he found out, he immediately woke up.

It was time to find a way to re-establish the balance that had been shattered by the influx of semi-peasant slaves.

To a certain extent, this matter is even more urgent than the reclamation of land.
