Chapter 476 Filling in Xiaoying again (two chapters in one, please vote and subscribe)

Hearing that the evacuation plan arranged by Luo Chong for them would take more than 20 days, Nian Mao did not delay any longer. After returning to the tribe, he hurriedly summoned all the tribesmen to prepare food. After all, Luo Chong said that they would not care about food and drink.

Fortunately, the Nian tribe had a lot of food reserves. Because their farming method was slash-and-burn, they did not need much manpower, and the harvest depended entirely on the weather. Therefore, they could only increase the planting area, set a fire, and spread a handful of seeds, which brought them a lot of food.

The food was ready, but they just needed to prepare a few days of dry food, and there were also various dried meats. Finally, they had to select the first batch of people to send away.

There were more than 270 adult men in the Nian tribe. When spring came again, plus the new adults, there should be more than 300.

These men were divided into five groups, 60 people each time, plus 240 women and children, just enough to make up a group of 300 people.

Luo Chong was not idle on the mountainside. He began to arrange the actions of everyone. After yesterday's field investigation and research, this dam-breaking plan still has many difficulties. The first is the problem of engineering volume. It is impossible to clean up the dam that is 70 to 80 meters long at one time.

Luo Chong's expectation is to solve part of it first, find the weakest point, open a gap, and release the water first. The specific method of construction is to start from the riverbed downstream, because it is easy to set foot there, which is more convenient than working on a small boat.

After digging a hole in the mud and sand downstream of the dam, blasting will be carried out from the upstream. Of course, that little bit of explosives is definitely not enough. The rest can only be done slowly by sending a boat later.

Having made up his mind, Luo Chong returned to his tent to rest. It will be evacuated in a few days.

Entering the tent, one adult and two children inside had already fallen asleep, but when Luo Chong entered, the girl immediately sat up and seemed to be vigilant.

"Your tribesmen will take a boat to my tribe tomorrow. Do you want to go with them?" Luo Chong gestured to the girl.

The girl shook her head immediately after understanding. Although she knew that the Nian tribe now had a way to leave, and she would definitely not be sacrificed to the river god even if she went back, she still didn't want to leave Luo Chong.

After so many days of contact, even a fool could see that the Han tribe was more powerful and wealthy, and that her life would definitely be better if she joined the Han tribe than the Nian tribe. Besides, she was an adult this year, and even if she didn't follow Luo Chong, she would find another tribe to exchange marriages during the migration, that is, the two sides would intermarry.

But that was something that was uncertain. Who knew what kind of tribe she would marry in the end? Luo Chong in front of her was visible and tangible, and he was the one who saved her from the water. If she didn't follow him, who would she follow? Even if Luo Chong drove her away, she would never leave.

Seeing her firm attitude, Luo Chong did not refuse. After all, this was the saint girl chosen by the sticky tribe. She was the most beautiful girl in their tribe and had a good foundation. It would be no problem to take her home. Besides, his subordinates Dashu, Shuda, Yingrui and others all had more than one woman, and their children were all over the place. Luo Chong married Xiaodie, which made many of his subordinates discuss it privately.

Now the three-year agreement with Xiaodie has passed, and Luo Chong has become an adult. At his current age, converted into Earth years, he should graduate from junior high school.

However, seeing the two children next to the girl, Luo Chong still expressed his intention to send the two children back and let their parents raise them themselves. Luo Chong did not want to have two more burdens. He was not Ji Chang, who recognized a lot of godsons. Besides, there was no Lei Zhenzi among them.

The girl looked at the sleeping children beside her. Although she was a little reluctant, she nodded and agreed with Luo Chong's opinion.

That night, when Luo Chong was sleeping, the girl quietly came around from the other side of the fire pit and got into Luo Chong's arms, but what was waiting for her was not Luo Chong's arms, but the ivory-handled long sword and the short knife in Luo Chong's hand.

"No, wait until we go back." Luo Chong immediately rejected her.

Being rejected by Luo Chong, the girl started to cry. According to the custom of the sticky tribe, after two people are together, if the girl is rejected by the man, it is not a good thing, and will be looked down upon by others.

"What's your name? Do you have a name? My name is Luo Chong, what's yours?" Seeing the girl crying, Luo Chong didn't feel much. It was impossible for him to have feelings. This thing needs to be cultivated slowly, but he couldn't let her sit there like that. He just chatted with her.

"I am Ying."

The girl introduced herself in the dialect of her tribe, and took out a stone from her clothes. The stone was larger than a coin, oblate, very smooth and round, and should be a pebble, but it looked translucent, and the whole was orange. The most important thing was that the stone would emit a light yellow light. It was actually a fluorescent stone.

Luo Chong took the small stone and was also very surprised. There are glowing stones on the earth, but most of them are cold light, usually blue and green. However, it was the first time that Luo Chong saw a yellow warm light in his two lives. Of course, he was shocked.

Next, Ying introduced the stone and her life experience. The stone was passed down from her ancestors, and it was only passed down to women. The stone was given to her by her mother before she died. Similarly, Ying not only inherited her mother's only property: the fluorite, but also inherited her mother's name. That's right, her mother was also called Ying, or in other words, all the owners of this stone were called Ying.

Luo Chong was convinced. This name was not as good as a random name. A name that can be inherited from generation to generation sounds like a position or identity, just like an emperor. After the emperor dies, the next emperor is still the emperor, and it goes on and on.

Is this a name for a person?

However, Luo Chong did not dwell on this. According to his own custom, all new tribesmen who were absorbed were given surnames to facilitate the distinction of bloodlines. Therefore, the girl's name was called "Nian Ying" in the future.

Well, this character is not good. It always feels like the 50-cent fly sticker sold in the supermarket. Therefore, Luo Chong changed her surname to "Zhan". Although the pronunciation is still the same, it is much better than the "Nian" in "sticky paper".

******

Luo Chong, who only slept for half the night, was still awakened by the noise of his tribesmen. When Luo Chong walked out of the tent, he saw that his tribesmen had already started to pack up their equipment and food. Outside the camp of the Han tribe, Zhan Mao also led a group of tribesmen with red eyes. Obviously, he did not sleep much either.

Hundreds of people gathered outside the camp of the Han tribe. Some were ready to leave with the Han tribe, some came to say goodbye to their relatives, and there were many children crying, as if they were parting forever.

Seeing Luo Chong coming out, Nian Mao also immediately came to greet him.

"Han leader, when will our people set out?"

"Wait until you finish eating? Don't you guys eat in the morning? There's no place to dock along the way, you have to stay on the boat to eat and sleep. Oh, by the way, you also need to bring some water. There are many dead animals in the river water, and drinking it may kill people." Luo Chong glanced at the tribesmen who were still eating, and said to Nian Mao.

"What? Bring water?" Nian Mao was confused. Why didn't you say it earlier? Why did you say it now when you were about to leave?

However, he did not dare to blame Luo Chong. After all, his people still had to rely on the Han tribe to send them away, so he hurriedly asked his people to prepare clean water. Fortunately, there were a lot of bamboos on this hilltop. They usually used bamboo to make containers. It was no problem to store drinking water for everyone for two days. What's more, Luo Chong also brought wooden buckets, which could also store some clean water.

When the sun rose completely, around seven in the morning, everyone finally boarded the boat. This time, Luo Chong sent Dali to lead the team. There were a total of 100 people, five on each boat, responsible for commanding and teaching the people of the Nian tribe to row. The remaining three boats were left to Luo Chong, and he also left more than 300 people around him.

The people of the Nian tribe stood on the shore and waved to see them off. Nian Mao also watched the people who were gradually going away. Luo Chong also noticed Nian Mao's arrangement this time. Among the first group of people who were transferred away, there was the witch who danced the gods a few days ago. He should have been sent by Nian Mao to be the front station, but Luo Chong did not care that taking the old man would ruin his plan.

After the fleet left everyone's sight, the other three boats were pushed into the water by the people of the Han tribe. 80 people were ready to board the three small boats, which was already the load limit.

"Han leader, where are they going?" Nian Mao was a little uneasy, thinking that Luo Chong had other plans, and asked Luo Chong hurriedly.

"Is there any need to ask? Of course they are going to the place where they went yesterday. I want to send everyone there, so that I can plan to get rid of those stones." Luo Chong said as a matter of course.

Nian Mao was relieved, but he still didn't have much hope for Luo Chong to control the water. The Han tribe could do whatever they wanted, as long as they sent their people away safely.

The next thing went smoothly. Luo Chong was indeed making preparations for both situations. On the one hand, he sent people to the Nian tribe, and on the other hand, he sent You Ye as the leader to do the forced demolition work at the dam. Their task was simple, just cleaning up the silt downstream of the dam.

Everything went as planned. When the fleet transporting the immigrants of the Nian tribe had been gone for a day, Youye had already sent the first batch of 60 people to the dam. They climbed over the dam and found a high ground on the river downstream to camp and temporarily stationed there. Then the remaining 20 people rowed three wooden boats back to the dam. The next day, another 60 people were sent. The 120 people who were sent over also began to dig the river bank according to Luo Chong's plan.

When Luo Chong sent people to the dam again on the third day, the fleet transporting immigrants to the Nian tribe also arrived in Hanyang City. After

two consecutive days of living on the boat, the tribesmen of the Nian tribe were both excited and terrified. They were happy that they finally left the Jedi island and could go upstream to find a new home. They were terrified about the confusion of the future and the floating corpses they saw along the way. If they could not leave smoothly, perhaps they would become one of them.

The anxiety and fatigue of the past few days made them very tired. Many people even had seasickness. After all, not everyone can adapt to this environment where their feet are not on the ground and surrounded by water.

Fortunately, they persisted and finally arrived at their destination, the settlement of the Han tribe.

"Look, there are people over there, and there is a large area of ​​land."

Many people shouted loudly when they saw the settlement on the east bank of the Rushui River. There were indeed many people there, and many mud houses were emitting green smoke. There were also people standing by the river to fetch water. When they saw the fleet coming, they stretched out their hands to greet them.

However, the boat did not stop, but continued to move north. The people of the Nian tribe, who thought they had arrived, became noisy again.

"Why don't you dock? Isn't that your settlement? I see that the clothes they wear and their hair are exactly the same as yours."

The witch of the Nian tribe excitedly gestured to Dali, who was on the same boat, hoping that he could give a reasonable reason.

"That is indeed our settlement, but it is a new settlement, one of the settlements of the Han tribe. It is not particularly safe there, and there are often wild beasts. The place we are going to is still ahead, and we will be there in a while." Dali explained casually.

This was unexpected for Nian Wu. He looked at Da Li in surprise and doubt for a while. He was a little skeptical about what he said. There was more than one place for the Han tribe to live? Shouldn't the people of the tribe live together? The more people there are, the safer it is. Since there are other tribesmen in the Han tribe, why should they live separately?

This is the limitation of thinking. Nian Wu, whose population has just exceeded 10,000, has no idea how many people a piece of land can support under the condition of limited productivity. However, he didn't think about it for long. Da Li didn't lie, because they soon found a new place to live on the other side of the Rushui River, and it was bigger and more shocking than the previous one.

"We're here. This is also one of the places for our Han tribe to live." Da Li, who returned to his doorstep, gestured proudly to Nian Wu.

On the top of Hanyang City, Ying Rui also stood here early. When he saw the fleet docked, he immediately asked people to open the city gate and lower the drawbridge. A few days ago, he had received a letter from Luo Chong, asking him to prepare to receive new people. At the same time, he arranged some subsequent activities, such as how to attract these people to the Han tribe and so on.

When these immigrants from the Nian tribe, who had been on the boat for two days, stepped onto the land again, they didn't know whether it was because they had been sitting for too long or because they were frightened by the sight of the city of the Han tribe, many of them were shaking in their legs

. For a moment, they were shocked, curious, and terrified, and all kinds of thoughts came to their minds. Since there was no dock in Hanyang City, uh, such a small boat didn't need a dock, and a few people could directly drag the boat ashore.

Dali led the people of the Nian tribe to the East Gate and handed them over to Ying Rui. The handover task was completed. They had to rest early and set out again to find Luo Chong at dawn tomorrow. The task of receiving immigrants was entirely handed over to Ying Rui.

The residential buildings in Hanyang City were already full, and the military camp could only accommodate two or three hundred people at most, but the Nian tribe had thousands of people. There were only four teaching buildings left to fit them all in and shelter them from the wind and rain.

That's right, Luo Chong's letter instructed that a building be specially cleaned up for them to live in, and the tables in the classrooms could be put together to be used as beds.

"Wow, they don't live in tents, what are they made of? Are they mud houses?"

"How can there be mud houses like this? I think they are made of stones. Look at the blue-black stones on the house, but these stones are so strange, they all look exactly the same."

"Ah-ah-, there are so many horned beasts and wolves!!!!"

Many people from the Sticky Tribe walked on the streets in the city. They looked at the neat rows of houses in the Han Tribe, the dogs wandering around in the streets and alleys, and the cattle, horses and sheep walking leisurely in the large ranch in the breeding area with curiosity, which made them both scared and curious.

When they were led to the square in the center of the city and saw the unusually tall buildings and were told that they would live in them for the next month, many people were so surprised that they were speechless, and then there was a deafening cheer.

Everything here is beyond their imagination. It is simply the country where gods live in their dreams. Now they have the opportunity to live here. How can they not be excited?

When the old Nian Wu stood at the window of the third-floor classroom and looked out over the entire Hanyang City, he was so shocked that he forgot his business. He had to take good care of his people and be vigilant against the Han tribe. He forgot all about it. If he had time to think about these things, he might as well explore how the windmill outside turned. Why did it keep turning tirelessly even though no one touched it? Could it be that gods really lived here?
