This was not the only thing that puzzled the leader of the Donkey Tribe. He was also extremely puzzled as to why this tribe used something that seemed to be more powerful than stone spears to dig the ground.
He couldn't figure out what was worth digging in this place.
This weapon can obviously be more useful when hunting, but this tribe uses it to dig the ground, which is a waste.
As he thought about this, his eyes swept over the newly dug pits and some planted saplings by the Qingque tribe, and he felt even more confused.
He had never planted trees before, but from what he saw, he could basically understand the intention of the Qingque tribe.
It is precisely because I can see it that I become even more confused.
There are trees everywhere around, and this tribe actually plants trees. What...what's the reason for this?
Is it time to cut it down and use it for firewood?
Thinking of this, he shook his head slightly. How could this be as convenient as just cutting down a grown tree?
The leader of the Donkey Tribe thought about it for a while but still didn't understand. In his opinion, the Green Bird Tribe's action was like taking off pants to fart, which was a waste of time.
Of course, he couldn't summarize it so succinctly, but the meaning was almost the same.
this……
This is truly a tribe with too much food to eat and nothing to do.
This is the definition given to the Green Bird Tribe by the leader of the Donkey Tribe based on what he saw and heard during this trip.
The leader of the donkey tribe felt discouraged and indignant just thinking about the precious pottery, delicious salt and abundant food that the tribe possessed.
Why does this tribe, which seems to be doing nothing, have so many things that make them look up to it?
It’s depressing just thinking about it.
In this mood, the leader of the donkey tribe completed the negotiations with the eldest brother.
The eldest brother looked at the food and furs that the people of the Donkey Tribe were carrying, and asked the people of the Green Bird Tribe to stop digging temporarily and go back to the tribe together.
Junior Brother Sha led the archers back to the tribe and climbed up the low wall first.
The procedure for entering the Qingque tribe is the same as before. All weapons must be left outside before you are allowed to enter.
The people of the Donkey Tribe had come to the Green Bird Tribe several times and had become accustomed to these requirements. After arriving at the gate of the Green Bird Tribe, they consciously left their weapons outside without the eldest brother asking anything.
I don’t know if it’s because they thought winter was over and they wouldn’t need so many furs anymore, but this time the donkey tribe brought a lot of furs.
More than all the furs they had brought before combined.
Even though the pottery of the Green Bird Tribe was valuable, the furs and some food brought by the Donkey Tribe were still exchanged for a large jar, two pottery jars, and twelve bowls.
Before leaving, he asked for two more jars of salt.
How come this donkey tribe suddenly became rich?
After the people of the Donkey Tribe left with the pottery they had exchanged and the salt they had received for free, Han Cheng looked at the pile of things left behind by the Donkey Tribe, feeling puzzled.
According to his previous calculations, among the several surrounding tribes that had contact with the Green Bird Tribe, the Donkey Tribe was the poorest.
But the actions taken by the Donkey Tribe today completely overturned his previous conclusion.
Could it be that the people of the Donkey Tribe, like Ah Q, were doing some shady business?
Han Cheng thought this jokingly, and then shook his head.
The Donkey Tribe is small in number, and in winter, it is impossible for them to escape unscathed after stealing so many things from other tribes.
After all, doing this kind of thing in the middle of winter is equivalent to leaving no way for the robbed tribes to survive. Those robbed tribes will definitely fight back.
Just now, Han Cheng carefully observed the people from the Donkey Tribe who came to trade, and there was not much change in their number compared to those who came before.
There were no scars on their bodies, and there was no one among the members who was obviously different from them.
From this aspect, it can basically be ruled out that the people of the Donkey Tribe have robbed other tribes.
The tribes around here are also quite magical. The Green Tribe has millet, the Sheep Tribe can get a lot of sheep, and now the Donkey Tribe, which was thought to be the poorest, has suddenly become rich...
After thinking about it for a while without any result, Han Cheng stopped thinking about it.
Regardless of whether these furs and food were originally owned by the Donkey Tribe and are now being taken out, or whether they were obtained from other places, they will eventually belong to their tribe.
It just so happened that their tribe had very little fur left due to the heavy consumption during the winter, and the batch sent by the Donkey Tribe could fill the gap.
Without his instructions, someone naturally carried the newly acquired skins in.
Han Cheng stood here for a while, then thought of the silkworms, and walked over to take a look.
Fu Jiang, who had a bigger belly, followed behind like a follower. When Han Cheng stopped at the foot of the south wall and reached out to take the ceramic basin containing the silkworm seeds, Fu Jiang also lay down and lazily basked in the sun.
Fu Jiang should be giving birth soon.
Han Cheng thought so as he looked at Fu Jiang's increasingly big belly and the small things that were originally hidden in his fur but now exposed as he lay down.
There will soon be some little Husky puppies appearing in the tribe.
Han Cheng couldn't help but feel happy when he thought of this.
What made him happy was yet to come. Many of the silkworm seeds on the small piece of mulberry wood stick had already broken open.
On top of the small mulberry leaves at the bottom of the pot, there were some things that were almost invisible to the naked eye.
These seemingly motionless little black dots are the newly hatched silkworm larvae.
After waiting for so long, the silkworm seeds still hadn't hatched. Han Chengdu was a little suspicious whether these silkworm seeds had gone bad. Now that he saw the little silkworms coming out, he finally felt relieved.
Uncontrollable joy emanated from the depths of his heart. At this moment, only he knew the great significance represented by these tiny insects.
The witch who was lying on the edge of the rabbit pen and spying on the mother rabbit feeding her baby rabbits saw from afar the Son of God grinning foolishly at the pottery basin, so she came over to find out what was going on.
After learning the situation from Han Cheng, Wu lay there blinking his eyes and looked for a long time, but he saw nothing.
His eyesight is a little blurry.
Although he didn't see the tiny young silkworms, a smile was still on the witch's face. During this period of time, he had heard a lot about silkworms from the Son of God. Although he still felt that it was unnecessary when there were enough furs to use, he paid more attention to silkworms than before.
By the afternoon, there were no more silkworm larvae crawling out. Han Cheng counted them carefully and found a total of thirty-three.
These little guys seem to be lying motionless on the mulberry leaves, but when you look at them again after a while, you will find that some holes have been bitten on the tender mulberry leaves by them.
When the sun was about to set, Han Cheng brought the silkworms back into the house.
In order to prevent these little things from escaping, Han Cheng specially found the best glazed pottery basin in the tribe to hold them.
The smooth inner wall of the ceramic basin is not conducive to crawling and can effectively prevent them from climbing up.
Later, he thought it was not safe, so he found a piece of animal skin to cover the pottery basin.
After a while, he was afraid that the animal skins were not breathable and would suffocate the little guys. After scratching his hair and thinking for a while, he found some dry, large leaves to cover them.
After doing all this, Han Cheng smiled helplessly. He was so kind to these silkworms that he was afraid they would melt if he held them in his mouth, and afraid they would fall if he held them in his hands.
I will raise them myself for a few days first, and when the silkworms grow bigger, I will let Xing, Xiaomei and Xiaoli raise them.
Han Cheng woke up in the middle of the night and took out a little flame from the kang to light the oil lamp to check on the silkworms, sniffling as he thought so.
Putting them in my room really disturbs my sleep.
