About three miles away from the largest settlement of the Red Tiger Tribe, a group of people were scattered around digging with tools.

There is no doubt that these people are from the Qingque tribe headed by Han Cheng.

What they were doing at this time was the same as what they had done before in the Tieshan residential area, which was to survey the underground minerals so as to have a general understanding of the distribution and storage capacity of the minerals.

As the people of the Qingque tribe continued to move, potholes appeared here one after another.

At the same time, piles of moist soil also appeared.

And small branches stuck in the soil.

Han Cheng, with his hands covered in black, stood here, looking at the area in front of him that was constantly expanding with the movements of everyone, and couldn't help but smile.

There is a lot of coal stored in this place.

Just what we have discovered through simple methods so far is enough for our own tribe to use!

Thinking this in his mind, Han Cheng threw the piece of coal in his hand aside.

Looking at his black hands stained by coal, Han Cheng suddenly remembered an experience he had at the Red Tiger Tribe.

This experience was that once he brought his people to the Red Tiger Tribe, and after shaking hands cordially with the leader of the Red Tiger Tribe, he found that his palms were stained black.

At that time, he just thought that the hands of the Red Tiger Tribe leader were too dirty, and he washed his hands with water in disgust.

Now it seems that the dust on my hands was not just ordinary dust!

That's obviously coal dust!

Fortunately, his tribe finally discovered the coal mine hidden near the Red Tiger Tribe, otherwise, this matter would be really regrettable!

"@#EQ@#$?!"

If you think of Cao Cao, he will appear.

It is simply impossible to have so many people coming at once and making such a big noise at such a short distance from the Red Tiger Tribe without alerting the people of the Red Tiger Tribe.

So when Han Cheng looked at the people from the Red Tiger tribe who appeared in front of him, he didn't find anything strange.

Of course, among these people, the leader was the witch of the Red Tiger Tribe, not the chief of the Red Tiger Tribe.

Considering that the people of the Red Tiger Tribe had previously been exchanged by him for most of the tribe's food through fair trade, Han Cheng had every reason to believe that the leader of the Red Tiger Tribe was not in the tribe now, but was staying in some unknown corner.

The witch of the Red Tiger Tribe is indeed very pious now. Normally, she stays in her exquisite room and prays in front of the two incarnations of the sacred gods for a long time.

Moreover, as long as she didn't come out, no one in the tribe could call him no matter what happened outside.

Previously, some people from the Red Tiger Tribe, when they found out that their tribe had no rice seeds, did not choose to tell the witch of the Red Tiger Tribe immediately, but instead waited outside the door. This is the best witness.

However, there is always an exception.

Han Cheng is the exception.

The witch of the Red Tiger Tribe had made rules before.

The rule is that as long as the Son of God of the Qingque tribe comes to the vicinity of his tribe, no matter what he is doing, he must come and inform him.

The reason why she could make such a rule was, on the one hand, because she felt that the Son of God of the Qingque tribe was particularly extraordinary.

Every time he comes, he can bring enough changes to his tribe.

When faced with such a person, it is very necessary for me to come out and meet him in person.

In the entire tribe, no one except himself has such qualifications and ability.

On the other hand, the witch of the Red Tiger tribe felt that the incarnations of the two sacred gods of their tribe were obtained through the Son of God of the Green Bird tribe.

Moreover, the identity of the Son of God of the Qingque tribe is very special.

When he came, he asked the people in the tribe to tell him the news, and would not let the gods blame him.

Even at that time, I was communicating with the gods of my tribe with great piety...

The witch of the Red Tiger Tribe was very confused for a moment when she saw the scene before her.

She didn't know what the people of the Green Bird Tribe were doing, or what the point of their strange actions was.

Are these black stones in my tribe, which have no other use except for being used as markings, really so attractive?

Is it so charming?

Looking at the Red Tiger Tribe witch who appeared in front of him and talked to him with a confused look on her face, Han Cheng immediately smiled.

He took a step forward, stretched out his hands and directly grasped the hands of the Red Tiger Tribe witch, and kept shaking them, refusing to let go for a long time.

The witch of the Red Tiger Tribe was already accustomed to the way the people of the Green Bird Tribe expressed their enthusiasm and welcome, so she did not feel too panicked. She just stretched out her hand and continued to cooperate with Han Cheng.

After a long time, the four hands that were clasped together finally separated.

The Red Tiger tribe priestess was so excited that she didn't notice that her hands were covered with black ash.

The dark hands of the Son of God of the Qingque tribe, who had an especially bright smile on his face, were obviously much cleaner at this moment.

Of course, Han Cheng had a bright smile on his face.

This was not just because he took the opportunity to wipe the black ash off his hands.

Another more important reason is that some of his ideas can only be realized with the help of the witch of the Red Tiger Tribe.

To be honest, his plan was actually very simple.

They just want to get some people from the Red Tiger Tribe to dig and transport coal for their tribe.

Mining and transporting coal is not a simple or easy job.

Especially when there is no river connecting the two places that can be used for rafting, and no flat, passable road has been built, all transportation has to be carried by people or on the backs of animals. This makes it even more time-consuming and labor-intensive, and requires a large number of working people.

At present, the Tieshan residential area has indeed gained a large number of new immigrants, and the number of labor force has increased significantly.

However, correspondingly, there are many things going on simultaneously in the Tieshan residential area.

Digging ore, smelting iron, making iron tools, building houses and walls, and developing the surrounding land that can be developed...

With so many things going on at the same time, Han Cheng, who was accustomed to seeing the rapid development of Tieshan residential area, naturally did not want to slow down the progress if conditions allowed.

So he thought of making use of the people of the Red Tiger Tribe.

Of course, in addition to making a large number of people from the Red Tiger Tribe become workers of their own tribe, another important reason for doing this is that this method can be used to assimilate this part of the Red Tiger Tribe!

Han Cheng is confident that through such a long period of uninterrupted contact, he can assimilate the people of the Red Tiger Tribe.

Turn these people into members of your own tribe!

When dealing with the Red Tiger Tribe, you cannot use a single method.

War is only the last resort, and basically, when it is used, it is used to make the final decision.

Before this, there were many means that could be used to deal with the enemy.

As a person from later generations, Han Cheng knew a lot about these things and used them a lot.

Some people may think that such means are too shady and not fair enough.

However, this world is cruel.

Moreover, in many cases, the effects of aboveboard means are very limited, or even counterproductive, and are far less effective than some seemingly obscene methods.

Well, perhaps this method can be called a white lie.

A certain shameless person thought this in his heart.

"Mao, tell them that some of the people in their tribe can come out to transport this black stone to our tribe.

They transport this black stone to our tribe, and our tribe can provide food for these people.

The food is better, at least it won’t make people starve to death…”

Han Cheng said this to Mao who was standing aside.

Upon hearing this, Mao began to translate Han Cheng's meaning to the witch of the Red Tiger tribe without much hesitation, according to Han Cheng's instructions.

After hearing Han Cheng's words, the witch of the Red Tiger tribe's eyes suddenly lit up.

You know, the most lacking and most uncomfortable thing in their tribe now is food.

This is not the worst thing. The worst thing is that this season is not a good time to get much food.

The Red Tiger Tribe is now basically in a state of living off its resources and there is nothing good to eat.

After hearing what Han Cheng said as relayed by Mao, they understood that as long as they delivered this useless black stone to the Qingque tribe, they would be able to get enough food to fill their stomachs from the Qingque tribe. Of course, the witch of the Honghu tribe would be happy.

As for the people of the Green Bird Tribe, the witch of the Red Tiger Tribe did not care what the use of this useless black stone was or what it was used for.

Just give them tribal food, everything else doesn't matter.

Whether they suffered a loss or not was none of the Red Tiger Tribe's business; it was something the Green Bird Tribe wanted on their own initiative.

It wasn't just the witch of the Red Tiger tribe whose eyes lit up. The eyes of other people from the Red Tiger tribe who understood Mao's meaning also lit up.

These days, life in their tribe has become too hard, and many people are so hungry that their eyes are turning green.

If it weren't for the Red Tiger Tribe's top charlatan, the witch, who constantly instilled ideas into them and strengthened their faith, the people of the Red Tiger Tribe might have collapsed long ago.

It would be strange if their eyes didn't light up when they heard Mao say this!

They looked at Han Cheng and others with bright eyes, their eyes full of gratitude.

They really didn't expect that at this time, the people of the Qingque tribe would lend them a helping hand!

In their view, this was truly an extremely merciful act.

Because at this time, they didn't have much extra place to get food.

The people of the Green Bird Tribe, at this time, asked them to transport such black stones and provided them with food. If this is not an act of kindness, what is it?

At this time, the people of the Red Tiger Tribe's favorable impression of Han Cheng and others from the Green Bird Tribe was soaring.

After showing their strong affection towards Han Cheng and others, everyone in the Red Tiger Tribe turned their eyes to the tribal witch standing in front of them, full of expectations.

They really don't want to miss this great opportunity to have a meal!

Under the gaze of everyone, the witch of the Red Tiger Tribe slowly shook her head...

Seeing the witch of the Red Tiger Tribe shaking her head, everyone in the Red Tiger Tribe was stunned.

They never thought that the witch of their tribe would do such a thing at this time. This is a great opportunity for many people in their tribe to get food!

Once they miss it, they really can't think of another chance to get food.

“%?*@…”

Just when everyone in the Red Tiger Tribe was stunned, anxious and angry, the witch of the Red Tiger Tribe spoke. She was facing Mao and seemed quite excited as well.

The witch of the Red Tiger Tribe was of course very excited, because just now she thought of a good thing!

The matter is the issue of rice seeds that she has been thinking about recently!

Before that, her idea was to see if the people in her tribe could bring back rice seeds from outside.

If you can't bring them back, you can get seeds from the Green Bird Tribe first, plant them, and after the harvest, repay the seeds you got from the Red Tiger Tribe before.

This is indeed a good idea, and the witch of the Red Tiger tribe also spoke with great confidence when she told the people in the tribe about these things.

However, the witch of the Red Tiger tribe was not very confident.

Because in her opinion, this was purely a matter of their tribe taking advantage.

Based on the virtues that the Qingque tribe has always demonstrated, there is really not much possibility that they would do such a thing with their tribe.

But now there is no problem.

Now he is a member of the Qingque tribe. He took the initiative to come to their tribe to do things, and also took the initiative to offer to take care of the food for the people in their tribe who are doing the work.

Well, in this case, if their tribe doesn't have food to eat, wouldn't it be possible for them to turn the food that the Green Bird tribe gives to their own tribe into rice seeds?

Just by thinking about this in her mind, the witch of the Red Tiger Tribe already knew that this thing could basically be accomplished. It was much better than the method she had thought of before!

That is why, without much consideration, the witch of the Red Tiger Tribe said what she was thinking.

After saying this, the witch of the Red Tiger Tribe immediately looked at Han Cheng intently.

She knew that what she said needed the nod of this not-so-strong man...
