The Qingque tribe is covered in white as snowflakes fall.

Even the cold and the snow could not freeze the joy of the Qingque tribe.

The return of Xiong Youpi and others brought back Champa rice, which was extremely precious to the tribe. The atmosphere of the Qingque tribe was immediately ignited.

Everyone was extremely happy, and they couldn't hide the joy in their hearts no matter what.

They didn't want to hide it and just wanted to express the joy in their hearts at the moment by talking and laughing loudly.

Han Cheng looked at the laughing people in the tribe and couldn't help but smile.

It feels really good to see the tribe growing stronger day by day and everyone living happily.

After talking with Xiong Youpi and the others for a while, and carefully understanding their itinerary, the dangers they encountered on the road, the places they arrived at, and how they found the Champa rice, Han Cheng gave Xiong Youpi and the others some verbal praise.

Afterwards, Han Cheng said to Xiong Youpi and others, you have been tired from the journey, go and take a rest.

At night, I will cook food for you.

Hearing Han Cheng say this, Xiong Youpi and others were immediately overjoyed.

After all, the Son of God's cooking skills are recognized as the best in the entire tribe.

Moreover, as the tribe grew larger, the Son of God cooked less and less food himself. Even if he did, he would only give it to people like Little Pea. Unless there were special circumstances, others would rarely be able to eat it.

This time, I and others will be able to eat food made by the Son of God himself. Just thinking about it makes me happy and excited.

Following Han Cheng's instructions, Xiong Youpi and others quickly went to rest.

The journey, especially the subsequent ice-breaking trip, was very exhausting for Xiong Youpi and others. They really needed a good rest.

After sending Xiong Youpi and others to rest, Han Cheng did not immediately go to the kitchen to prepare ingredients for dinner.

He walked straight to the bag that Xiong Youpi and others brought back, and used a small bowl to scoop out a bowl of Champa rice from it.

Then he carried it in his hands, left the room and went out of the tribe.

The snow has fallen quite thickly. Stepping on the snow that no one has ever stepped on will not only leave a trail of footprints, but also make a crackling sound.

After walking for a while, Han Cheng came to the tribe’s cemetery.

There are a large number of cypress trees planted in the cemetery to prevent pangolins from coming to eat bones.

At this time, because of the heavy snow, the entire cemetery looks even more plain and solemn.

Han Cheng went straight to the witch's grave.

Even at this time, with a lot of snow on the tombstone and the grave, Han Cheng could recognize the witch's grave at a glance.

Because this is not the first time he has come here.

During the time that Wu was away, Han Cheng had come here many times.

Han Cheng squatted down in front of Wu's grave and used his hands to push aside the snow in front of Wu's tombstone and clean it up.

Then he put the bowl of rice down.

"Wu, I'm here to see you, and I have some great news for you.

See these rices?

These rice grains are not the ordinary rice that we have grown in our tribe in the past. It is a very high-yield crop.

In the hot south, it is possible to have three or four harvests a year.

That is to say, crops can be planted and harvested all year round.

When we come to our tribe, the temperature is not as high as in the south. However, in Jinguan City and other places further south, it is not a problem to harvest twice a year.

With these rice seeds, the food production of our tribe will definitely increase rapidly.

Even if no additional arable land is reclaimed, a lot more grain can be harvested in a year.

Let me tell you, these seeds are not simple.

It was Bear Skin who sailed out to sea for a long, long way before they found it and brought it back.

Today, Xiong Youpi and his friends braved the snow and returned from the Hukou residential area.

When I saw these seeds, I didn't stay in the tribe for too long. After sending Xiong Youpi and the others to sleep, I came to you with the seeds and asked you to come and have a look.

Let you also feel the joy in our tribe.

I know you are the happiest to see these things..."

Han Cheng squatted here, talking incessantly to the witch's grave.

Share the joy of the tribe with the witch.

The cemetery was particularly quiet under the heavy snow.

Han Cheng kept talking here but didn't get a response.

In the past, at this time, the old man would be as happy as a little baby, grinning with his toothless mouth, laughing so hard that his eyes could not be seen. But at this time, he can no longer be as happy as before.

No matter how good the news was, he just lay there quietly, unable to respond to me...

Han Cheng always felt a little uninterested when he couldn't see Wu's smile.

But no matter whether Wu could hear it or not, Han Cheng would think at this time that Wu had heard the news he brought, and he would still talk to Wu here.

“Crash!”

Some snow slid down from a small cypress tree beside the witch's tomb.

The snow fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

I don’t know if it was the wind or the small cypress tree couldn’t bear the weight of the snow and threw it down.

Such movement seemed very abrupt in this extremely quiet environment.

Han Cheng did not have any worries or fears, but was very happy instead.

He understood it as the witch heard what he said and responded to him because his tribe had once again obtained something excellent.

Although he knew that these were all fake and were connections he had subjectively fabricated, Han Cheng was still willing to think so.

Doing this would make him feel a little better.

After squatting here and talking to the witch for a few more words, Han Cheng found a tree branch nearby and dug some holes next to the witch's grave. He pinched out some Champa rice seeds from the bowl of rice seeds and threw them into the holes.

Then cover it with soil.

"I'm going back now. I'll leave these seeds here for you. Take a good look at them when you're okay.

I can't stay here with you any longer. I have to go back and cook for Xiong Youpi and the others. These guys have better appetites than each other and eat more than each other. I need to prepare more food, which will take a long time..."

Han Cheng said this and left with the bowl in his hand.

On the way out, Han Cheng met a stone who was coming alone.

In Shi Tou's hand, he held a small bag.

From the appearance of the small hole, it can be seen that the seeds inside are most likely Champa rice.

Xiong Youpi and others brought back high-yield crops. Shitou, the current witch in the tribe who was brought up by the witch, has a very deep affection for the witch. After all, he started learning with the witch when he was very young.

I have long regarded Wu as a very close person, and I also want to come over and talk to Wu.

"Go talk to Wu and tell him the good news. Wu is old and his ears don't work well sometimes. You need to tell him some things several times before he can hear them clearly.

Now that there is such a thick layer of soil outside, it is even more necessary to talk to him more."

Han Cheng said this to Shi Tou, then nodded at Shi Tou and continued to walk back with the bowl in his hand.

Shitou agreed, and followed Han Cheng's footprints all the way to Wu's grave...

Han Cheng walked from the cemetery towards the tribe. In this short distance, in addition to the stones, Han Cheng also encountered three other groups of people.

One wave includes the leader of the tribe, the eldest brother, as well as Heiwa, Tietou, Xing, and others.

Ichibo is Yuan, and Wu's youngest daughter.

The remaining wave includes Snow White, Little Pea, Little Apricot, and Little Yellow Bean.

When Han Cheng returned to the tribe, he saw more people going to the cemetery.

Among these people were Xiong Youpi and others who he had sent to sleep not long ago.

The purpose of these people's visit, like Han Cheng's, was to tell the good news to Wu, a highly respected elder in the tribe.

Take this opportunity to remember him.

By now, this has almost become a habit for everyone in the tribe.

After the witch passed away, when the people in the tribe encountered some good things, they would always unconsciously go to the witch's grave and tell the witch the good news.

If those good things are easy to carry, someone will take them to the witch's tomb and let the witch see them.

When offering sacrifices to your parents, do not forget to inform them...

Looking at this situation, Han Cheng felt relieved, but also a little sad...

That night, Xiong Youpi and others ate a lot of food until they were so full that they couldn't eat any more. They kept groaning before they stopped eating.

Then he touched his stomach and kept saying it felt comfortable.

I haven't eaten so comfortably in a long time.

The craftsmanship of the Son of God is still good...

…

The sound of firecrackers resounded through the sky, and the sounds of gongs and drums were also loud and lively.

Amidst all this hustle and bustle, Qingque's twenty-first year finally arrived. A year of hard work finally came to an end.

The people of the Qingque tribe who were able to relax during this time were all particularly happy...

At this moment, it is not only the Qingque tribe that is so lively.

The other settlements of the Qingque tribe also celebrated this unforgettable and joyful festival together.

The starting residential area far above the grassland was also not left behind.

At this moment, Han Youliang and others had already driven the cattle and sheep to the valley to spend the winter.

The calendar that was transported all the way from the main tribe was marked with a line every day.

Every time when the year draws to a close, people in the tribe pay special attention to this.

Especially some little kids, they would come here to look at the calendar several times every day.

I feel that time is passing so slowly. I just want to return to the day of the year marked in red handwriting and the Spring Festival the next day.

Now, they have been looking forward to it day and night, and finally the New Year has arrived. This kind of joy and excitement is simply beyond words.

It is a girl's nature to love beauty. Girls in the tribe all like to put on a red hairband and tie it on their hair at this time, which makes them look particularly beautiful.

The little boys in the tribe prefer to set off firecrackers that make a loud noise.

Of course, by this time, firecrackers had already appeared in the tribe for a long time, and many different ways of setting them off had gradually been invented.

Among them, the most exciting one is to stick firecrackers into a pile of thin cow dung just excreted by a cow, and then light it.

When it was not lit, a group of children gathered around the cow dung.

After it was lit, everyone ran outside together to see who could run faster.

Amidst the running of so many children, there would be a loud bang.

Then countless thin cow dung turned into stars and splashed around.

At this time, you can see who runs faster and who has better luck.

Those who run fast and have no cow dung on their bodies will laugh at those who are splashed with cow dung.

Those who were splashed less with cow dung would laugh at those who were splashed more with cow dung.

The ways children get happiness are always so unexpected and hard to understand.

However, their happy endings are surprisingly consistent.

That was the parents holding brooms, roaring and rushing towards them, yelling at them, and making a series of crackling sounds...

Normally, these children rarely get things like firecrackers.

It is only at the end of the year that one can release things more freely.

When it comes to New Year’s Eve, even if they don’t want to set off firecrackers, their parents and elders will take out some firecrackers and let them set them off.

This is the happiest time for these children...

The bonfire was lit and burned fiercely, dyeing half of the sky red.

The roar of gongs and drums was deafening.

Many people gathered together holding hands, jumping and dancing, looking extremely happy.

It was at this time that a group of people came to the big valley where everyone in the starting residential area lived.

The place where they entered the valley was on the west side of the valley.

This place is still a long distance away from where the Qingque tribe spends the winter.

For this reason, the people of the Qingque tribe did not notice that this group of people had arrived here.

These people were none other than the people from the Guhe tribe who had traveled for a long time, experienced many hardships and dangers, and crossed long distances.

At this time, these explorers from the Guhe tribe had long lost the high spirits they had when they first set out from the tribe.

That high spirit had long since left them.

At this moment, they looked more like a group of extremely destitute and distressed people.

Their numbers had also decreased compared to when they first set out from the tribe.

All these people died on the way here.

Of the two guides, only one was left at this time.

The ice, snow and cold outside made them unable to bear the freezing cold.

So this person brought them here to avoid the wind and snow...
