It was another morning, and the blood-red sun rose from the east, dyeing the clouds red. Not long after, the sleepy redness disappeared, replaced by thousands of golden lights.
In the early morning, there are many people gathered in the Qingque tribe, and it looks different from previous mornings.
Han Cheng, Wu and the eldest brother, the three giants of the Qingque tribe, also got up early and stood here.
Sister Bai Xue also stood up and stood beside Han Cheng.
Little Wandou, Little Xing'er, and Han Cheng's youngest son had not woken up yet and were still sleeping in the cool morning.
This is another journey that will take place in the Qingque tribe.
"Carry all the things onto the boat and the bamboo raft."
Han Cheng said this to the people next to him.
As he spoke, everyone present started to get busy.
They began to put the things that had been prepared earlier onto the ox cart or wheelbarrow, left the tribe, and followed the built road all the way to the dock by the river.
Of course, some people also transport things by carrying them on their shoulders or carrying them on a pole.
Part of the things had already been transported to the ship docked on the shore last night.
There were still some left, but because it was getting late, Han Cheng did not ask anyone to transport them, so they started to transport them onto the ship now.
After everyone carried their things out, Han Cheng also walked out of the tribe.
The eldest brother, Wu, Shitou and others went out with Han Cheng.
Everyone walked all the way to the river.
After years of rest and renovation by the people in the tribe, the place where the pier was built has become much wider.
There are nearly twenty boats and bamboo rafts docked here, but it doesn't seem crowded.
On the shore near the pier, there were several damaged bamboo rafts, as well as a boat that had been lifted out of the water, placed on the ground to dry, and then re-painted with tung oil.
The morning sunlight fell on the river, creating ripples. Where the sun was shining, it was somewhat dazzling.
Some people in the tribe were busy loading things that had been delivered to the dock onto the ship.
During this process, boats and bamboo rafts will shake and create some waves.
Han Cheng was wearing rattan armor and carrying a backpack on the back of the armor.
In his hand he held a spear as tall as he was, tied with a red tassel, and at his waist hung a dagger in a leather scabbard.
This shows the posture of preparing to travel far with the team.
This time, after thinking it over carefully, Han Cheng decided to lead his men down the river himself to the Fire Tribe to find out what exactly happened there.
The Fire Tribe is very important to the current Green Bird Tribe.
Han Cheng didn't want to lose such an important base for growing hemp and weaving cloth.
Because the situation was unpredictable, after some thought, he finally decided to lead the team to the Fire Tribe himself.
The eldest senior brother standing next to him was also dressed up. This time he was going to the Fire Tribe with Han Cheng.
Old people are always worried about the actions of young people.
Just like the witches today.
Although he had long known that the Son of God was exceptionally intelligent and wise, and his abilities were far greater than his own and the people in the tribe.
However, he still felt uneasy about the Son of God taking his people to leave the tribe and go to the Fire Tribe to investigate where there was a high possibility that an accident had occurred.
So after some discussion, at Wu's insistence, the eldest brother appeared here and went with Han Cheng.
In fact, compared to Wu's worry about Han Cheng, Han Cheng is more worried about Wu.
They were worried that he wouldn’t be able to cope in the tribe due to his old age.
"Don't worry, I'm in good health! After Yuan gives birth, I want to have another one.
There are so many people in the tribe, including Shitou, Tietou, Heiwa, Bo and others. There are more people in the tribe than before, and the power is even stronger. It is very safe in the tribe, so there is no need to worry about the tribe. "
After understanding Han Cheng's concerns, Wu said this to Han Cheng.
Han Cheng gave Wu a thumbs up to show his admiration, and then shouted "Come on" to him...
"Let's go back. I don't think it will be a big deal. The tribe is getting stronger and stronger, and the equipment is getting better and better. There are as many as two hundred people who followed me this time!
These two hundred people are all well-trained experts.
My elder brother and I have experienced many storms and can handle these things."
"It won't be long before we return."
Many things had already been arranged yesterday, and everyone had been assigned tasks.
So it didn't take too long before everyone had finished the remaining tasks and were ready to set sail.
Upon seeing this, Han Cheng spoke to Wu and Bai Xuemei and the others.
Bai Xuemei was very reluctant to see Han Cheng leave.
Brother Cheng had been out for such a long time before, and now he finally came back. He didn’t stay with me for long before he had to go out again. This really made me feel uncomfortable.
Despite this, Sister Bai Xue didn't say much.
Because she knew that her brother Cheng was not like ordinary people.
He is not only his elder brother Cheng, but also the son of God in the tribe!
He is a person with great abilities!
He had many important things to do and could not stay with himself and his children like the rest of the people in the tribe.
Moreover, many people in the tribe are also experiencing some separations from their spouses.
I can forgive myself in my heart, but I still feel reluctant and uncomfortable about the separation...
Han Cheng shook hands with Wu, then reached out to hug Bai Xuemei, and after giving some instructions to Shi Tou and others, he went all the way to the dock and got off the dock to board the ship he was going to take.
The eldest brother also got off the boat with Han Cheng.
However, it was not the same boat as Han Cheng's, but a nearby one.
This was a deliberate decision made by Han Cheng.
The purpose of doing this is actually to prevent accidents on the ship during the voyage, which would cause the two leaders to disappear all of a sudden, thus making the team fall apart.
If they sit separately, if something unexpected happens to the boat that one of the people is on and something unfortunate happens, with the other person on board, it won't cause any major problems for the team.
Such an arrangement seemed extremely unlucky at first glance, as if it was a curse that would bring disaster to oneself.
In fact, after putting aside these superstitious factors and ideas, you will find that such an arrangement is still very rational.
When we are in this world, we cannot only think about good things. Sometimes, we still have to think more about bad things.
I thought about it and took countermeasures in advance. If something bad really happened, because of the preparations made in advance, it may not turn out to be a good thing, but at least it is much better than not making any preparations at all.
This kind of awareness can be called a precious sense of crisis.
Of course, everything has a limit and cannot be overdone.
“Dad, Dad!”
Just as Han Cheng came onto the boat and was about to order someone to set sail to start this voyage, a series of anxious voices were heard.
Although many people present were already fathers, Han Cheng was able to immediately identify that the person calling him dad was his own son.
Following the sound, I saw Little Pea running towards here, holding a little girl's hand.
The little girl was Han Cheng's daughter Han Xing.
Seeing this scene, Han Cheng was stunned for a moment and quickly asked people to stop. Then he got off the boat and went to the dock to greet the two little guys.
One of the important reasons why he left so early today was that he was worried that the two little ones would become clingy when they were awake and knew he was leaving.
It makes the children uncomfortable and also makes yourself uncomfortable.
As a result, this situation has not been avoided yet, and the two little guys still ran over at the last moment.
"Dad is here!"
He responded like this.
A moment later, the two little guys came to Han Cheng and were picked up by Han Cheng.
The two little guys were running out of breath, their little faces were red.
There were still tears on Little Pea's face.
"You said you would call me when you left, but you disappeared when I woke up..."
Little Pea cried.
She spoke intermittently while crying, looking very aggrieved.
"Dad, I don't see him. He disappears when he wakes up..."
Xiao Xing'er also said this in a unclear way.
Her brother cried, and the one who led her to cry also cried.
Han Cheng held one little kid in each hand and had no way to wipe the tears of the two little ones.
Sister Bai Xue came over with great insight and took Xiao Xing'er from Han Cheng's arms.
"When Daddy got up, he saw you were still sleeping so soundly, so he didn't call you. Daddy was worried that you would feel sad if you saw Daddy leaving, so he wanted to leave quietly."
Han Cheng reached out to wipe away his son's tears and said this aloud.
"Dad will be back soon, and I'll make you something delicious when he comes."
Little Pea plays like crazy most of the time, but he seems to be very sensible at critical moments.
Han Cheng explained to him and brought up the very alluring thing of food, so he quickly stopped crying.
"Dad, please go now. Don't delay anything. I will take good care of mom, sister, brother, and Wu as well."
After being held and comforted by Han Cheng for a while, Little Pea's emotions became stable.
He rubbed his eyes hard with the back of his hand, then struggled to get out of Han Cheng's arms, stood on the ground, looked at Han Cheng and said this.
Han Cheng didn't think anything of it at first, but when he heard the little guy say this, his sensible look made Han Cheng's heart suddenly filled with something.
He reached out and touched his son's head and Xiao Xing'er's head, then said, "Dad believes in you. You will definitely do these things well."
After a while, Han Cheng turned around and got off the boat he was on again.
"set sail."
He spoke out loud.
Following his order, those who were already prepared on the boat immediately took action. Driven by bamboo poles or oars, they left the dock and headed downstream in a short while.
Han Cheng stood on the boat, looking at Wu, Bai Xuemei, Little Wandou, Xiao Xing'er standing on the dock, as well as Fu Jiang squatting at Bai Xuemei's feet. He couldn't help but stretch out his hand and waved at them vigorously.
People on the shore were also waving at them.
Fu Jiang also barked at the departing ship.
As Han Cheng waved his hand, the boat drifted downstream and continued to move downstream.
The tribe standing there, the people standing on the pier bidding farewell...
These things are getting smaller and smaller.
Finally, as the river turned, it completely disappeared from sight.
The view was blocked by the hemp planted on the shore, which had grown very tall.
These hemp are all from the tribe.
If it weren't for the fact that all the hemp was grown by his own tribe, Han Cheng would have been imitating Liu Huangshu and said, "I want to chop down all the hemp! It's blocking me from seeing my wife and children!"
The river was flowing downstream, and with the wind in our favor, the speed was very fast.
It is not possible to return the thousand miles to Jiangling in one day, but over a long period of time, it is much faster than a person walking.
This way of moving forward smoothly saves a lot of energy.
The people rowing the boat are also more leisurely and they don’t need to do anything else. They just need to control the direction of the boat or bamboo raft.
Although the speed was relatively fast at this time, Han Cheng was still not very satisfied.
The most important reason was that he wanted to arrive at the Fire Tribe earlier, see what had happened in the Fire Tribe, and solve it.
Get this matter done quickly.
After all, it has been a long time since the Fire Tribe came to their tribe.
Of course, apart from this matter, Han Cheng also wanted to return to the main tribe as soon as possible and continue to live a comfortable life.
The eldest brother on the boat next door noticed Han Cheng's anxiety, and after thinking about it, he began to let the people on each boat and raft pick up oars and other things and start rowing.
Han Cheng understood what the senior brother meant, but this kind of thing was not a good thing.
If this continues, the physical energy of the people in the tribe will be greatly consumed.
It would be nice if we could install a propeller on the boat.
Whether the engine is powered by diesel, gasoline, or electric, it can greatly increase the speed of the ship.
Thinking this in his mind, Han Cheng quickly shook his head to get rid of such thoughts from his mind.
Such an idea is not feasible at all given the difficulties that need to be solved at present.
It can't be of any help.
Before the emergence of machines and other things, how did older people take measures to keep ships sailing, save manpower, and make ships run faster?
Han Cheng thought so in his heart.
After thinking like this for a while, Han Cheng slapped himself hard on the forehead, looking annoyed.
Seeing this scene, the eldest brother, who had been a little worried before, immediately felt relieved.
The Son of God must have figured out a solution...
