The mine in Tieshan residential area.

After this period of mining, the mine in Tieshan residential area seems to have undergone a lot of changes.

The deepest part of the mining area has sunk nearly two meters.

At this time, the weather is hot, but there are still people working here.

These people are mining iron ore here.

The people who mined the iron ore were basically slaves.

These people were mostly war factions that were previously captured from the Red Tiger Tribe.

Those who wanted to wage war against the Qingque tribe at that time have either died or become slaves, mining here.

As for those who were pro-Qingque tribe at that time, they all became citizens of the Qingque tribe.

Some of them even have already gained a certain status in the Qingque tribe through their own efforts.

Three people have become grassroots managers, managing a portion of the slaves here.

That is to say, they were originally people who belonged to the same tribe as them.

At the beginning, some of the elders in the Green Bird Tribe were a little worried about letting these people manage these slaves. After all, these people, like the slaves, were from the Red Tiger Tribe before.

But after a period of time, everyone's worries basically disappeared.

These people who originally belonged to the Red Tiger Tribe, not only did they show no mercy when managing the slaves from the Red Tiger Tribe, they were even stricter and more ruthless than the rest of the people from the Green Bird Tribe!

Second Brother and some others were confused about this phenomenon, and they once asked the Son of God about it.

I remember Shen Zi once said with a smile: The traitors are scarier than the devils...

"Dig faster! What are you dawdling about for? Don't you want to eat?!"

A man who looked like an overseer stood here, pointing at someone and shouting loudly.

This person had wounds all over his body, bruises and purples all over, and he seemed to have some difficulty moving when doing things.

Hearing the scolding, the man shrank back, did not dare to hesitate, and quickly continued to work.

The person who scolded him glanced at him with some disgust in his eyes.

The other slaves nearby looked at this man, as well as three other men who looked similar to him not far away, and showed some gloating or other expressions of disgust on their faces.

These three people were none other than the ones who caused trouble at the celebration banquet for Han Youli, and were then beaten up by the second senior brother.

The second brother did not have them killed or exiled, but brought them here directly to mine.

Of course, correspondingly, these people have been deprived of their citizenship qualifications and have become glorious slaves, participating in mining here.

Han Youtu felt the pain in his body, then looked down at the tag hanging around his neck, which represented his slave status. Thinking back on his experiences over the past two days, he felt as if he had had a terrible nightmare, and he has not woken up from it until now!

He felt deep regret, but also confusion.

He still couldn't figure out why his normally easy-going second brother and the rest of the people in the tribe would react so strongly and become so heartless!

They had just made some complaints, but they were dealt such a fatal blow!

It would have been fine if they just beat them up, but they actually turned them into the most lowly slaves in the tribe!

The more Han Youtu thought about these things, the more aggrieved, incomprehensible and unbelievable he felt!

Of course, in addition to these, there is also regret mixed with resentment.

“Wuwuwu…”

It was at this time that crying sounds suddenly came from the side.

"I was wrong, I was wrong~ Please tell Second Brother that I was wrong, I will never do this again..."

Along with the crying, these words were also heard.

Han Youtu turned around and saw a man kneeling on the ground, crying violently and in a state of despair.

This person was none other than one who had been enslaved together with him.

Looking at this man's appearance, Han Youtu's already uncomfortable mood became even more uncomfortable and heavy.

This man's cries did not bring any sympathy, only contemptuous looks and ridicule.

These things quickly evolved into scolding in order to make them work properly!

Han Youtu watched the scene in front of him silently and worked silently.

Before, he felt that he already knew a lot about the Qingque tribe and the people in the tribe.

Tolerance, kindness, goodness, and unity are his greatest feelings towards the people of the Qingque tribe.

He thought the Qingque tribe was just as he saw it.

But now, after experiencing these things, he has a new understanding of the Qingque tribe and its people.

The people of the Qingque tribe are indeed kind, united and tolerant. Many beautiful things in the world can be found and experienced in the Qingque tribe.

But the prerequisite for this is that you are a member of the Qingque tribe, or a friend of the Qingque tribe.

If you become an enemy of the Qingque tribe, or a sinner within the Qingque tribe, then these things will have nothing to do with you!

The Qingque tribe gives you only coldness and ruthlessness!

Han Youtu thought this in his heart, and he became extremely emotional and powerless.

If I had known earlier that the Qingque tribe was like this, I would not have done that, right?

…

The Qingque main tribe had no idea what happened in the Tieshan residential area.

The great distance between the two places and the very backward means of communication in that era made the communication between the two places seem particularly long and difficult.

However, Han Cheng is not worried about whether there will be any trouble in the Tieshan residential area because of this.

Because the elder of the tribe, Second Brother, is there.

Time passed little by little, and the harvest of millet in the main tribe was coming to an end.

Some hemp that was planted earlier can almost be harvested at this time.

Some children would sometimes break off or cut a few hemp plants with a sickle or something similar and use them to weave small whips.

Such a whip is only useful when it is wet.

If you wait until the sun dries it and the moisture is gone, it will become light and airy, and it will feel weightless in your hand, which is extremely uncomfortable.

The children in the tribe would not throw away such whips, but would peel off the hemp skin completely and put it in the weaving yard of the tribe.

People in the tribe can't stand seeing things being wasted.

These hemps that are played by children are of great use in the tribe.

At this time, the hemp is basically mature, and the hemp skin can be used to make things such as ropes.

Bringing back the hemp skins used in playing with the hemp whips was a requirement of the adults in the tribe, and it was also a condition for allowing the children to play with the hemp whips.

A self-sufficient life is always full of busyness.

Because anything you need, you need to do it yourself.

Just like the Qingque tribe today.

The harvest of millet has basically come to an end. The people who have been slightly freed from this matter did not take much rest but instead threw themselves into other tasks.

Among these tasks, spinning and weaving are the most labor-intensive.

It is a very common scene to see women in the tribe carrying a small basket or handbag filled with fermented and beaten hemp rope, and spinning the rope with a spinning top in their hands.

This kind of work is something that everyone, from underage women to older women, can do.

Many things seem fresh at the beginning, but they won’t work if you continue doing them for years.

People will only feel a strong sense of boredom from it.

There is nothing easy in life, nor is there much romance. Although it seems free, there is actually not much room for choice.

For the sake of living, for the sake of keeping going.

It can’t be said to be very good, but life won’t get worse. Even if it feels boring, people need to keep doing these things.

this is life.

Han Cheng sat here, watching Bai Xuemei spinning the hemp thread for weaving with a spinning top. Even if he did not participate in it, he could feel the strong boredom just by sitting here and watching.

Thinking back to the people in the tribe spinning yarn in repetitive movements, he suddenly felt that the people in the tribe, when doing these things, were not human beings at all, but had turned into machines!

Regarding spinning, the people in the tribe have also made some improvements.

For example, the shape of the spinning top was improved, and some special methods were used to process the hemp fibers used for spinning to make them more suitable for spinning.

But till now, there has been no breakthrough progress.

The tribe's spinning speed has increased to a certain extent compared to before, but this improvement is limited and not significant enough.

Faced with this situation, can I do something to solve the problems faced by the people in the tribe?

Han Cheng sat here thinking.

When this thought arose, Han Cheng immediately had the answer in his mind.

The answer is machines.

Replace people with real machines and let machines do the work that should be done by machines and requires a lot of repetitive work.

Well, a machine even more emotionless than an emotionless killer.

Han Cheng had long had the idea of ​​making a real machine that could break away from the primitive spinning tool, the spinning top.

But it has never been put into action.

On the one hand, it was because he himself didn't know much about these things.

On the other hand, he has always been busy with many things.

Of course, another reason is that he feels that after the gradual development of the tribe, people's understanding of textiles and other things has continued to deepen, and with more and more technological accumulation, they will eventually be able to break through these limitations.

But now it seems that the tribe can break through these technologies, but the time it takes is a bit touching. I don’t know how long it will take.

In the past, Han Cheng didn't think there was anything wrong with this, but now, when he shifted his gaze from other places and fell on the matter of spinning, he quickly abandoned his original idea and wanted to solve the matter as quickly as possible.

After the emergence of machines, there are still people who operate the machines. However, the task of operating machines is much easier than before.

Moreover, because the machine is more efficient, many people can be freed from the task of spinning.

It's good whether you're taking a rest or doing other things.

"Have you ever thought of making a tool that could be used to spin thread, making it easy and quick to do so?"

Han Cheng withdrew his gaze from the spinning top in Bai Xue's hand and asked Bai Xue this.

Hearing Han Cheng's question, Bai Xuemei stopped what she was doing, looked at Han Cheng and said, "I think about it, even in my dreams!"

Sister Bai Xue's eyes sparkled when she said these words.

But it soon dimmed.

“I just don’t have any ideas and can’t do it well.”

Han Cheng reached out and touched Bai Xuemei's head.

“I want to do it, too.”

Han Cheng said with a smile on his face, as if he had already thought of a solution.

At this hint, Sister Bai Xue's eyes suddenly lit up again.

"Brother Cheng, do you have a solution?!"

She jumped up and grabbed Han Cheng's hand, looking extremely excited and happy.

Han Cheng stretched his face forward without saying anything, but his face still had a suggestive look.

After getting the signal, Sister Bai Xue didn't hesitate at all and went straight up to peck Han Cheng.

Seeing that he had successfully tricked his wife, Han Cheng couldn't help but let out an obscene smile.

"I can't help it."

Han Cheng looked at Bai Xuemei and told the truth.

Sister Bai Xue was stunned for a moment: "Didn't you say you knew? And you said that if I kiss you, you would tell me?"

Han Cheng was shocked. "When did it happen? I didn't. Don't talk nonsense. I just asked if you wanted to."

Sister Bai Xue became even more confused, and soon she realized that she had been tricked by someone.

"Brother Cheng, you are bullying me!"

Sister Bai Xue said this with a feeling of grievance.

After thinking about it, he stretched his face forward, pretending that he was unwilling to suffer any loss, and he had to take back the kiss he had given Han Cheng just now...

Playing between couples can easily go awry. After a while, the content and scale of the play begin to become different.

Go deeper.

"We can't go on like this. We have to find a way to solve this problem, otherwise it will be too tiring."

Han Cheng said this as he held down Bai Xuemei's hand which was drawing circles on his chest.

He seemed to have a body full of itchy spots. He liked to do the same thing to Snow White, but if Snow White did it to him, he would feel itchy...
