Of the eighteen people who followed Han Cheng out, half were men and half were women.
Among those who stayed behind, the leader was the second brother, who was very skilled in using the slingshot.
The reason why he was not allowed to go was, firstly, that the tribe needed someone to stay in charge, and secondly, the slingshot was more suitable for defense than for hunting.
The third thing is that this guy is too big and takes up too much space on the boat. Not only does it make him uncomfortable, but it also makes the boat uncomfortable. Han Cheng feels even more uncomfortable watching him, as he is always worried that he will sink the boat.
So he stayed, and most of the remaining eight adult men were not professional fighters, such as Lame, Mu Tou, Heiwa, etc.
There are more adult women left in the tribe, twenty-seven in total.
Except for one who was giving birth, the rest came to the wall and participated in this great "Battle to Defend the Green Bird".
With the experience of the defensive battle against the Teng Snake tribe in the winter of the second year of Qingque, the people of Qingque tribe seemed somewhat familiar with dealing with the aftermath of the war.
After waiting for a while and making sure it was safe, half of the people went out of the wall with rattan shields and stone spears.
The injured adult male was stabbed to death without mercy, and the injured adult female was left with her life in utter terror.
There were only two injured people left. This was because four injured people were killed by the secondary attack of the Green Bird Tribe when they tried to jump and run away after being injured.
The two terrified female primitives were dragged back to the tribe.
After the arrows stuck in the remaining nine bodies were pulled out one by one, they were gathered together, dragged to a place far away from the Qingque tribe, and burned...
The witch was very angry. This Bone Tribe, their own tribe provided them with delicious salt, but they actually came to attack their own tribe!
This is really outrageous!
At this time, Wu had selectively forgotten the plan of relying on salt that had made his heart beat.
The witch was very angry, so the consequences were extremely serious.
After treating the injuries of the two female primitive people according to the method taught by the Son of God, he slapped them several times in the face.
While smoking, he was also muttering something.
The two female primitives, who were already extremely frightened at the moment, were slapped in the face by him. They curled up even more and dared not move, and from time to time they let out an uncontrollable cry.
Those who knew that the witch was beating two female primitives would think that the witch was still in her prime and showing her might...
Han Cheng and others who were far downstream in the river had no idea what was happening here.
At this time, they were rowing the boat and getting closer to the tribe.
Each boat has four oars, two at the bow and two at the stern.
With two people working hard, four oars moved together. Although they were rowing against the current, the speed was faster than expected.
The clouds in the sky, the grass and trees on both sides of the river, and the birds flying in the sky are all reflected in the water.
It gives people a wonderful feeling as if the boat is passing on the water and people are swimming in the painting.
As they got closer to the tribe, everyone, including Han Cheng, wished they could run into the tribe as soon as possible.
In the pottery jar used as a vase in the boat, in addition to the well-cared-for Bupleurum, there were a few more things. They were some wild hemp that Han Cheng had people dig up on the way back.
Although he knew he had to come again in the fall when the wild hemp would be ripe, he still wanted to bring some back.
After a long journey, you must always bring something back to the tribe.
The milk tea girl held a bowl in her hand, and reached into the bowl with her other hand to scoop up some water. She imitated Han Cheng and poured it on the bupleurum and wild hemp planted in the pot.
Her illness has been completely cured. She learned from Han Cheng that it was this thing called Bupleurum that cured her illness. So in the past few days, she has been paying close attention to these things planted in the jars by Han Cheng.
After spending some time together, Milk Tea Sister is no longer as timid as when she first arrived, and has become a lot more lively.
However, her liveliness was only towards Han Cheng. When facing adults like her senior brothers, she still seemed timid, like a frightened deer that could run away at any time.
This may be related to the fact that when she was in the tribe, she was thrown into the fire and burned to death by adults.
"Milk tea girl."
Han Cheng shouted.
She immediately looked towards Han Cheng.
Han Cheng smiled and pointed to the bow of the boat, and said to her, "Write."
The milk tea girl put down the ceramic bowl she was holding, put both hands in front of her eyes to identify them for a while, found her right hand, dipped her right index finger in the water in the bowl, and relying on the vague memory in her mind, she clumsily but seriously began to write on the bow stroke by stroke.
The characters are written crookedly and very irregularly, especially the first character "奶". If you don't know, you might think it is two characters.
"Milk~tea~sister~!"
After finishing writing, the milk tea girl pointed at the word "奶" (milk) that was about to disappear, and the two words at the end, which sounded awkward and difficult to pronounce, and read them word by word.
After reading it, he thought for a moment and pointed at himself.
Han Cheng smiled and nodded at her, rubbing her head.
Milk Tea Sister is very smart. Along the way, Han Cheng would teach her some simple Mandarin from time to time, such as Chaihu and Milk Tea Sister, and she remembered and said them all.
I can also write my own name.
After receiving Han Cheng's praise and having her head rubbed by Han Cheng, the milk tea girl smiled happily.
Two pigtails, swinging back and forth.
This is of course Han Cheng's work.
Milk Tea Sister’s hair must have never been washed since she was born, it is as messy as a bird’s coop.
After she almost recovered, Han Cheng boiled water and washed her hair with wood ash.
After washing, I couldn't get it untied no matter what I did.
So after it was dry, Han Cheng carefully burned it with fire.
Burning your hair with fire won't make it look good, no matter how careful you are.
Looking at her hair that looked like it had been gnawed by Fu Jiang, Han Cheng felt very sorry, so he found two pieces of rope and tied two pigtails for her hair.
Although it is tied a little crookedly, it looks much better than before.
It makes the milk tea girl look like the silly girl in the village...
Milk tea girl liked the two pigtails very much. She didn't know if it was because of her natural talent as a woman. After she pierced the water a few times, she had already far surpassed Han Cheng...
As the boat moved forward, we could see from afar the animal-skin flag fluttering in the wind, standing not far from the shore.
We are almost at the bamboo forest of Lu River!
It is necessary to dock here. Compared with wild hemp and bupleurum, bamboo shoots that can be eaten as food are undoubtedly more suitable as gifts for taking home.
The four small boats came to the shore one after another. The most active Tietou jumped off the shore first with the cable in his hand, pulling the cable with his hand to make the bow of the boat tightly against the river bank, so that others could get off the boat more safely.
