Chapter 899: The Rice That Was Harvested by Man (Three in One)
The early morning wind is blowing, with some coolness, and people can't help but tighten their clothes.
The blue finch flag was driven by the wind and danced gently in the air, making some noise.
Han Cheng, who was carrying a backpack and leggings, turned his head and glanced back.
In front of the tall walls of the Qingque tribe, there are many people who say goodbye.
Among them, Xiao Xing'er and Little Pea, who were standing next to Bai Xuemei, were still there waving their little hands at themselves.
Han Cheng waved his hand vigorously at them, then turned his head and continued to walk forward with everyone.
The lucky general, who seemed to be a little old, followed Han Cheng and walked in sync with Han Cheng.
It has bred a large group of descendants, and now it has become quiet, not as lively as before, and even when it was in the tribe, it was no longer the same as before, and it was okay to practice with Uncle Lu.
Compared to the last trip, the group was much larger this time.
In addition to forty adult citizens, Han Cheng also brought sixty adult slaves.
Of these slaves, twenty were old slaves from the tribe, and the remaining forty were new slaves from the Blackstone coalition who had been joining the tribe for a few months.
In addition to this, twenty minors over the age of eight were also brought in.
These minors are also able to do a lot of things.
For example, fish and shrimp are caught in fish pots, and loaches in swamps are caught with bamboo to help people get food.
No matter how Han Cheng implements education in the tribe, one thing cannot be denied, that is, the current level of production in the tribe is simply impossible to support all minors to attend full-time classes.
At the same time as going to school, these children have to participate in labor, and in addition to mastering basic life skills, they also have to learn some skills and delve as deep as they can.
Except for a small number of people who can go further on the road of learning, more people will officially devote themselves to the production and life of the tribe after the end of the fifth grade of primary school.
After the edification and enlightenment of Chinese and mathematics, it is easier for them to make some achievements than the original people when they are engaged in various production and life.
Learning is never the goal, through learning to master and understand something, and apply it to life, so that life becomes better and work becomes more brilliant, is the real purpose of learning.
What you learn through learning can be some knowledge or some spirit.
is also for this reason, in this trip, Han Cheng brought these twenty minors.
Of course, their studies will not be delayed, and when they arrive at the place, they will be taught by him, the principal of Qingque Primary School, who has just set up the framework and has already closed before the official opening of the school.
The composition of the citizens who came this time is also different from the previous ones.
The living map of Mao and the archer of Senior Brother Sha all followed, and once again went south with him.
Mao'er and two other carpenter's room members were also in the southbound procession with their tools.
In addition to them, there are several people who are good at making pottery and burning tiles, as well as two stonemasons who have learned from stonemasons and wood.
This time there are more technicians compared to the last time.
Of course, due to the number of people and the fact that many things cannot be professionalized, the Qingque tribe is still taking the path of all the people being soldiers.
These technicians also participate in the training, but not as often.
Even so, in times of crisis, these people are just as capable of picking up their weapons and rushing forward.
In addition, donkeys and deer, two kinds of livestock, which were mainly used for consignment, also brought forty-eight heads.
At the same time, a hundred and fifty live sheep were also brought, and some of the chickens whose wings had been cut off from the tribe were also carried.
The chickens were prepared to be raised over there in Jinguan City.
As for this group of sheep, Han Cheng is also preparing to raise them over there.
Of course, in addition to raising them at one time, there is also a use for slaughtering some of these sheep for emergency relief when there is not enough food to eat.
Because of the dogs, deer, donkeys, and this large flock of sheep, Han Cheng's line looked a bit like the migration of a nomadic tribe.
In the bleating of lambs and the barking of dogs before and after running, Han Cheng and his group went south.
The tall tribal wall behind him, and the people standing in front of it, were gradually left behind.
As everyone walked, the sun gradually rose, the thin morning mist dissipated, and the fields on both sides of the road and the crops in the fields slowly disappeared, replaced by weeds and bushes......
Those who stood in front of the gate of the tribe to see them off slowly dispersed, took up sickles, set up donkey carts or deer carts, and carried wooden branches into the fields to harvest and pull crops.
Among them, the largest number of people transported the neatly cut grain into piles on the carts, and the threshing floor.
This is because there is humidity in the morning, and transporting these is not only easy to load, but also easy to drop the grains.
Therefore, none of the grain that was cut down yesterday was delivered to the threshing floor.
In the threshing floor, there are also people who knock down the stacks of grain that have been piled up there with wooden forks, or pull them down with a rake.
Then push it with a wooden fork, spread it all over the scene in small piles, and shake it off.
These are stacked together, some hot grain, after spreading, by the sun, and then by the wind, it is easy to 'scorch', and then let the donkey or deer pull the stone back and forth on it, and a lot of grain will fall from it......
When Han Cheng and the others left the tribe and headed south, heading towards the second tribe, Jinguan City, when the people of the Qingque main tribe and the people in the Tongshan settlement were working hard for the autumn harvest, in a place in the south, a group of people surrounded by animal skins and holding rudimentary weapons left their cave halfway up the mountainside and walked towards a place under the leadership of an older female primitive.
“#¥5RT……”
On the way to walk, the older female primitive was still turning her head and saying something to the people of the tribe, with a wave of excitement.
When she said this, many people in the team seemed excited, and they also talked about it, and some of them even stretched out their hands, stretched out their arms, and forcefully compared a big thing.
Driven by them like this, some people who seemed a little reluctant and worried because of leaving the tribe's cave gradually became happy.
In the cave behind them, people came in and out one after another, all dressed in the same way.
Most of them carry a package, a package, or some fruit in a fish cage into the cave......
Wearing rattan armor and holding a bronze short spear in his hand, Mao identified the path there.
"Go from here!"
He greeted the man.
Now they are no longer walking the same path they took when they first went out, but the corrected path when they returned.
After two or three months of growth, some grass grew on the path they had opened up when they returned, and it was blocked by some newly pulled branches.
However, the previous traces are still there, and it is still relatively easy to identify if there is no sparse grass and trees.
As they passed by, many people waved their sickles and knives to remove the branches and branches of the trees.
That's why, as they passed, the passage became wider.
While becoming more conspicuous, it is also easier for people to pass through.
This is already the sixth day that Han Cheng and the others have left the tribe, and they have walked in a straight line all the way to the south as much as possible, and they have already left the sphere of influence of the Blue Sparrow Alliance yesterday.
After a few days of walking, the minors in the team, who originally seemed more cheerful and novel, were not as cheerful and novel as before, but looked a little worried.
However, after seeing the flying blue finch flag and the Divine Son walking in the procession, some of their worries and fears due to going to unknown territory also dissipated.
The Son of God also has the Blue Sparrow Flag, and he is with himself and others, so what is there to be afraid of?
Not to mention, Miko and the others have already built some houses there, and they have also found delicious rice and sweet millet stalks.
When I and the others went over this time, I wanted to build it together with the Son of God.
Not only should walls and houses be built, but also fields should be carved out there, and delicious rice and sweet millet stalks that can be used to boil sugar should be planted around the tribe.
When the time comes, all you can see is rice and sweet millet that can be eaten, just as the main tribe now sees crops such as millet and soybeans everywhere.
After such thoughts and beautiful scenes came to mind, these minors no longer felt apprehensive, on the contrary, they couldn't wait to come to Jinguan City as soon as possible, devote themselves to the construction of the sub-tribe, and build the sub-tribe as soon as possible, just like at the beginning, when the Divine Son and the leader built the main tribe......
The time went forward a bit, and the location came to Jinguan City, where there was still only one house.
With the departure of Han Cheng and others, the place once again regained its former tranquility and serenity, with some primordial vastness in the tranquility.
A variety of water birds roam the swamp.
Some of them stood there motionless like old monks, some walked gracefully with their long legs, and some were singing.
One or two of them stretched one leg backwards and stretched the other leg backwards, and at the same time, the wings on that side also spread out, as if they were stretching their waists.
“¥%6@3!”
It was in this atmosphere that shouts rang out from afar.
Almost to the grass on the man's chest, some people appeared.
These people were covered in animal skins, and they carried some rudimentary weapons and other miscellaneous things, which were the older primitive women who had set out from the tribe a few days earlier, and were heading here.
At this time, the older female primitive man who walked in the front stood on tiptoe and stretched out her arms, pointed to the slave courtyard on the high ground in the distance, and shouted excitedly, with some showing off in her excitement.
After all, such a magical cave, but she led people to discover and test its true function.
If it weren't for her, how could her tribe get such a good cave to live in?
The rest of the people who followed the direction of the older primitive's finger and saw the strange cave that sat in the highlands.
Having already received some news about the cave from the older female primitives, they looked at the strange cave from afar, with novelty and excitement.
As the older primitive women said, this strange cave belonged to their tribe.
And to be able to have such a cave is undoubtedly a very happy thing for them.
So, the next moment, there was a shout of excitement.
And then these people all waded through the weeds and other things, and jumped and jumped and ran there.
Such a movement soon alarmed the birds that were quietly inhabiting here.
Soon, there was a flapping of wings, and flocks of birds flew up from the vast expanse of water, like clouds moving rapidly.
A few primitive people looked at the flock of birds flying overhead, couldn't help but shout loudly, and threw the stick or stone in their hands with all their might.
However, such an act was obviously in vain, and without touching even a single bird feather, the thing thrown in his hand fell weakly to the ground.
The men could only watch as the birds swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, whispered, and then found the weapon that had just been thrown, and then continued downstream along the shore.
When they came to the place where they had been on the other side, they appeared to be cautious and went into the water, stepping on the mud and some plants that grew on it, and headed for the other side.
They can't wait to get to the strange cave and take a closer look at the new cave that belongs to their tribe.
The desire was so urgent that they didn't even pay attention to the delicious little fruits that grew in the water.
After a somewhat difficult trek, the mud-stained men reached the other side of the water.
After rubbing their mud-stained feet vigorously on the grass on the shore to roughly remove the mud from their feet, the men headed straight to the strange-looking cave under the guidance of the older primitive women.
“#¥5@#D!”
After a while, the men with mud on their legs and animal skins on their bodies came to the slave courtyard in Jinguan City.
The closer you get, the more you can feel the height of this strange thing.
The cave where they had lived before, halfway up the mountainside, blended with the peak, was actually larger than this slave compound.
But because it is connected to the mountain peak, after being compared, it is not very eye-catching.
Now this house stands alone in this place where there is not much to do, and there are no mountains to set it off, so it naturally looks tall.
In fact, this is the same as Mount Tai of the head of the five mountains, talking about the tall and majestic, Mount Tai in the third ladder, not as many mountains as the first and second steps, but it is set off by the flat terrain around it, and it suddenly seems to be extraordinarily tall.
In the midst of everyone's astonishment, the older primitive woman stepped forward.
On the knocker, the vines that were wrapped around it when they left last time were still wrapped as before, and there was no sign of passing, which made the older female primitives even more reassured.
It seems that she was not wrong at all, this cave is abandoned.
Otherwise, why has so much time passed, and the people of this tribe have not returned?
She untangled the vines around it with her hands, then reached out and pushed the door open.
This makes the house look like a behemoth with an open mouth.
Some people who came here for the first time and saw these people, seeing this scene, couldn't help but clench the weapons in their hands, with a look of fear on their faces, and even prepared to turn around and run away at any time.
The older primitive woman walked straight in, and when she entered, she turned around and beckoned to them with a smile on her face, and let them all come to this strange cave.
Such a scene, those who came here for the first time, were all amazed, and felt extremely admired for the courage of the older female primitives.
However, what they didn't know was that the older primitive woman with her back to them also twisted her hand on her stomach without a trace before pushing open the door and then walked in casually.
Led by the older primitives, and led by others who had come here and entered the house, they all entered the cave that looked so strange to them.
All kinds of novelties followed, especially like the monkeys in Huaguo Mountain who had just entered the Water Curtain Cave.
And those who had been here began to talk about their previous experiences with gestures, and the man with the fish cage on his head brought many people to the room where the fish pot had been found, and told everyone about the magical, beautiful, and useful things.
After a lot of excitement, these people finally quieted down.
They put the things they had brought with them, according to their own aesthetics, in a place that was pleasing to the eye in the strange cave, and then took out the fruits and other things they had brought and began to eat the food.
After eating like this for a while, and resting in the house for a while, the men, led by the older primitive women, went out of the house, closed the door, and went to the place where they had walked before.
After dripping through the muddy water, and following the path taken not long ago, a piece of grass with its head hanging down appeared in front of it.
This grass is covered with small, finely chopped fruits.
So, at the beckoning of the older female primitive, these people went down into the muddy water again, and came to the edge of this aquatic grass full of small fruits.
Some people spread out the hides they were holding, holding them with both hands, or two people pulling them apart, and joining under the aquatic plants.
Others hold the ears of grass in both hands and pluck off the small fruits on them or rub them off.
As their hands continued to move, the small fruits with shells fell down one after another.
Most of them landed on the skins stretched below, and a small part fell in the muddy water below.
Although these small fruits are ripe, some of them are still relatively fruitful, and most of them will fall off after such an operation, but there are also sporadic ones left on them.
This is obviously not the first time these people have done these things, and their movements seem to be very skillful, especially the older female primitives.
As they continued to move, the rice that was growing on this large area of rice was gradually removed by them and collected.
After they had passed, the place became a mess, there was no more rice on the rice, and a large number of grain stalks were trampled down and entered into the muddy water, and the ones standing there looked more crooked......
“#45@#!”
After filling all the hides she had brought with her, the older primitives spoke again to give orders.
Under her order, the men carefully pulled up the hides, carefully wrapped the rice stored on them, and then carried them downstream, crossing the waters from their original places, all the way to the front of the slave courtyard in Jinguan City.
Under the advice of the older primitive women, someone began to pull the weeds vigorously, cleared a clearing in front of the house, and trampled it with his feet.
When this was done, the older primitive woman took the lead in spreading out the skin parcel she had brought, and then pulled the edge of the skin wrap upward, and the rice that they had just taken from the stalks poured down to the ground.
When the rest of the people saw this, they followed the example of the older primitive women, spread out the animal skins, and poured the rice wrapped on them on the clearing.
After everyone had done so, the older primitives fell to their knees and crawled on the ground.
While crawling, he stretched out a hand and spread out a small pile and a small pile of rice with his hand.
“@34¥%!”
She did not finish such a thing, and after spreading about half of the grain in this way, she opened her mouth and pointed to a primitive woman and the remaining rice.
So the primitive woman followed her example, and seemed a little unskilled in spreading the remaining small piles of millet by hand, as evenly as possible.
After doing this for a while, the older female primitive people set out again with these people, and after wading through the water from their original position, and after finding this aquatic weed, they continued to use the previous method to pick such small fruits.
By evening, the men had been transported back twice.
In front of the slave courtyard in Jinguancheng, a lot of rice was piled up.
"Boom~Boom~"
When the sky gradually darkened, some people began to squat there to drill wood for fire.
When he was digging wood for fire, the older primitive women took some people to gather the rice that had been dried outside, and covered it with animal skins, and pressed stones on top of the animal skins.
