There is a red sun in the sky, shining thousands of rays of light, and the water surface is given many brilliant colors.

It is true that the flowers on the river are redder than fire at sunrise!

It's not spring now, but the river water is still very clear.

In the early morning, smoke rose up and was blown around by the morning breeze.

Some of the smoke drifted away into the distance, while some of it stuck to the water surface, looking like mist rising from the water.

The oars and bamboo poles slid together, breaking the calmness of the water and driving the boat towards deeper parts of the river.

There was a wisp of smoke rising from the boat.

The smoke came from a fired clay stove placed on the bow of the ship.

There is a pot on top of the clay stove, and food is being cooked in the pot.

Every ship has such a set of equipment.

And at this time, fire was burning and food was cooking.

This was Han Cheng's arrangement.

Cooking on shore takes too much time.

From starting to cook to finishing the meal, it takes at least 40 minutes.

In fact, because the pots used on a large scale in the tribe are still ceramic pots with relatively slow heat conduction, the cooking process needs to be prolonged.

Even a simple breakfast would take about an hour to finish.

This was unbearable for Han Cheng, who was anxious to rush to the Fire Tribe to find out what was going on.

That's a lot of distance to cover in one hour.

What's more, how many hours are there in a day?

So the current situation has arisen.

Now, the people who traveled with Han Cheng can be said to be truly eating from their own pot.

The boat moved forward, leaving behind trails of smoke that quickly dissipated, and the river surface returned to calm not long after.

After Han Cheng's continuous explanation to everyone in the tribe last night, the people who came out basically understood the origin of crayfish, how far it was from them, how difficult it was to get there, and what methods were needed to get there.

Han Cheng opened the hand-drawn map again, looked at it for a while, sighed slightly, then folded it carefully and put it in his backpack.

The outlines of the land, oceans and other things on this map were all drawn according to the world geographical map in his memory.

There are definitely problems with the proportions and many small details, and it cannot be exactly the same as the maps of later generations.

And, besides all this, there is another problem.

The problem is that at this time Han Cheng didn't know how far away the era in which he would live was.

However, according to the historical knowledge he had, the time here must have been quite long.

This is where the problem arises.

The problem is that the current topography and many other things are somewhat different from those in later times.

These are all problems that need to be solved, but Han Chengdu does not have the ability to solve them.

After all, he was restricted by various conditions at that time. It was simply impossible for him to accurately draw the outlines of the world's land and oceans in this era.

Although there may be some differences between the maps drawn today and those of later generations, they still have great reference value.

After thinking about it for a while, Han Cheng still couldn't find a way to solve the problem of map accuracy, so he had to give up.

He stood up from the cabin and walked to the bow.

As he moved, the boat swayed from side to side.

People who are not used to riding on a boat will feel scared of this kind of shaking.

Han Cheng walked to the bow of the ship and stood there looking into the distance.

As far as the eye can see, the river surface is shimmering like a ribbon.

There were no boats or rafts to be seen on the river.

It's still empty.

No one from the Fire Tribe was seen.

Although such a situation was within Han Cheng's expectations, when it really happened, Han Cheng still couldn't help feeling disappointed.

After standing here and watching for a while and still seeing no trace of the Fire Tribe people, Han Cheng stopped looking in that direction.

He thought about it, then took out a large net bag with a wooden handle from the cabin.

Then he stretched it out into the river over the side of the boat and used it to net fish.

In fact, at the beginning, Han Cheng wanted to go fishing on the boat.

However, the boat was always moving forward, and in this situation, it was obviously unrealistic to fish.

So Han Cheng found the net bag.

The boat moved forward, its speed exceeding the speed of the water.

Driven by the boat, the net bag was fully propped up.

The water poured into the net bag, creating a little resistance and then quickly leaked out from the holes in the net bag.

After a long while, Han Cheng, who was holding the handle of the net bag, suddenly felt some vibrations.

These vibrations are different from the vibrations you would experience if you touched sand or rocks at the bottom of a river.

Han Cheng held the handle of the net bag, turned it a little bit to adjust the opening of the net bag to face upwards, and then lifted it up.

The net bag in the water came out of the water as he lifted it, and a sense of weight came with it, along with a clearer sense of vibration.

In the net bag that was dripping with water, a fish appeared, struggling hard.

The fish weighed about three kilograms.

In addition to this fish, there are four or five small fish about one palm in size.

Because these little fish are small and not very strong, they don't feel much after entering the net bag, so Han Cheng doesn't know when these guys got in.

Looking at these fish, Han Cheng couldn't help but smile.

Harvest always brings happiness to people, especially the harvest earned by one’s own hands.

After dumping all the fish, big and small, into the cabin and letting them jump around randomly, Han Cheng turned around and put the empty net bag into the water again. He continued to catch fish in this way to kill the boring time and experience the joy of harvest. At the same time, he was thinking about something in his mind...

There are a lot of fish in the river. Just looking at the fish placed in the cabin, you can have a very intuitive feeling.

Han Cheng was not the only one on the boat, so he didn't need to give any orders. The people who didn't need to row the boat cleaned up the fish caught by Han Cheng.

This feeling of only being responsible for catching fish but not cleaning them is really a very good experience.

In the middle of the day, Han Cheng chopped the cleaned fish into pieces with a knife and marinated them with some salt and seasonings.

After marinating for about half an hour, they moved the stove to the bow, lit the fire, and started to cook the fish soup.

There is a saying in Han Cheng's hometown: "It takes a thousand boiled tofu and ten thousand boiled fish."

This means that when stewing tofu or fish soup, you must cook it for a while longer.

These things become more delicious as they stew.

Tofu can be stewed well to make it tasty. As for the fish soup, it can not only make the fish meat more chewy, but also make the fish soup white, which is particularly fragrant!

As a foodie, Han Cheng naturally knew these things.

It is for this reason that he would start stewing fish soup in the middle of the morning and continue until noon before eating it.

The food on the rest of the ships was similar.

As people of the tribe often eat fish, the other people on the boat also started fishing while sailing.

Some people hang fish cages that can sink into the water on both sides of the boat, while others, like Han Cheng, choose to hold the net bag in their hands and use the power of the boat to catch fish.

The harvest is naturally very good.

So by noon, they all had extremely fresh fish soup.

The people on Han Cheng's ship ate more heartily.

Because in addition to the fish soup, Han Cheng also used some reed leaves to wrap some pickled fish, covered them with mud, put them in the stove and cooked them, making some "beggar fish"...

Time passes in this progress, and the journey also passes by.

The fleet sailed downstream.

When there is a favorable wind, we use the wind force. When there is no wind, we use poles and oars.

Although it is a bit tiring sometimes, it is much easier than walking for a long time and long distance on land.

And what Han Cheng expected to do, that he would meet the people of the Fire Tribe on the road, never happened.

Han Cheng also gradually gave up the idea of ​​meeting the people from the Fire Tribe on the road.

It was not only because he was fed up with such disappointment, but a more important reason was that they were almost reaching the place where the Fire Tribe was.

Whether or not you can meet the people from the Fire Tribe on the road doesn’t matter much anymore.

The boat was sailing on the water. On the wide river, one could already see the simple pier built by the people of the Fire Tribe on the shore, modeled after the Green Bird Tribe.

Around the pier, there are many rafts belonging to the Fire Tribe and some canoes moored.

However, these rafts and boats seemed to have been docked here for a long time, and there were no people around.

On the river bank near the pier, there is dense and troublesome vegetation.

When Han Cheng came here for the first time, all the weeds and other things growing here had disappeared, and were replaced by this strong and vigorous vegetation.

These vegetations are nothing but large areas of hemp.

Some hemp plants have already bloomed at this time, with pink or purple flowers that look quite beautiful.

This has also become a unique landscape here in the Fire Tribe.

The only crops grown here are hemp.

Unlike the Qingque tribe, in addition to hemp, there is also millet on a larger scale.

The reason for this, of course, is that the Green Bird Tribe did not give millet seeds to the Fire Tribe.

No matter what the Fire Tribe used in exchange or how much the price was, the Green Bird Tribe would not give them millet seeds.

And later on, it was made clear that if the Fire Tribe insisted on taking measures to obtain and plant millet seeds from their tribe, then from now on, the Green Bird Tribe would no longer use millet, pottery, salt and other things to exchange for the linen produced by the Fire Tribe, and would also take some other worse measures.

With such actions, it is of course impossible for crops such as millet to grow in the Fire Tribe.

There can only be a large amount of hemp.

The Blue Bird Tribe's move is undoubtedly to make the Fire Tribe become the weavers of the Blue Bird Tribe.

Han Cheng didn't feel much guilt or other negative emotions about such things.

Because if this matter continues to develop in this way, it will be a win-win situation for both parties.

Through such cooperation, the life of the Fire Tribe is much better than before.

As for the use of force during this process, Han Cheng didn't think there was anything wrong.

In this world, not everything can be good for you, me and everyone.

Many times, simply being harmonious won't get things done.

On the contrary, it will make things worse.

A roughly correct one will do.

After checking the surroundings and finding no one, the fleet began to dock under Han Cheng's order and stopped at the pier built by the Fire Tribe people.

In some places, there was no room left due to the Fire Tribe's rafts, so they had to dock on the outskirts along with the Fire Tribe's boats.

Two people were left on a boat to watch over the boat. Han Cheng, his senior brother and another 160 people got off the boat and walked onto the dock.

Then walked towards the shore.

A path was trampled out from the pier to the river bank.

There were some exposed soil on the path, and more of it was covered with grass.

However, it can be seen that the grass on the path is obviously lighter than that on the side.

A group of people, armed with weapons and wearing rattan armor, walked along the path all the way to the river bank which was much higher than the river surface.

Han Cheng walked in the middle of the team, while the eldest senior brother walked with a few others at the front of the team.

The hemp on both sides of the path was already very tall, taller than people.

Han Cheng and his group walked forward while looking around.

But because the hemp blocks the view, I can't see things very far away.

The eldest brother and others had been to the Fire Tribe before, so they went directly to the Fire Tribe’s residence.

In fact, even if you don’t know where the Fire Tribe lives, you can still reach the Fire Tribe’s cave by following the traces of the paths trampled on the ground.

"@EAS#￥￥..."

"SSWDD..."

"SDXWE@..."

After walking forward for a while and getting close to the Fire Tribe, Han Cheng heard some sounds.

The sound came from the direction of the Fire Tribe’s residence. It was quite noisy and sounded quite emotional.

While Han Cheng was thinking about this, the team stopped.

After a while, the eldest brother who was walking in front came over.

"Son of God, please go to the front and take a look."

After seeing Han Cheng, the eldest brother lowered his voice and said this to Han Cheng.

Upon hearing this, Han Cheng followed the senior brother and walked forward. Several people who were specifically responsible for protecting Han Cheng followed with weapons in hand...
