Han Cheng was caught off guard by the sudden move of sending a child bride.
Then reacted.
I will be leaving tomorrow, and we are about to part. Could it be that this little child bride has suddenly come to her senses and wants to...
Hehehehe…
Han Cheng laughed wickedly.
"Brother Cheng, I want to go too."
Bai Xuemei's words made Han Cheng feel a little discouraged. The little girl was still young. She had nothing at all, so why did she start to make conditions?
According to the normal procedure, shouldn’t we do that and that… and then make demands?
How could you do something so unconventional?
"Stay in the tribe and wait for me to come back. I will bring you some delicious food..."
Han Cheng's words of consolation seemed like he was trying to lure a naive child.
Han Cheng didn't want to take Bai Xue out on this trip. One reason was that Bai Xue was relatively young and it was not as safe outside as in the tribe. Another reason was that they had to go to Bai Xue's original tribe again.
He was a little worried that Sister Bai Xue would return to her original tribe and never come back, and that he would lose the young wife he had finally found.
Although I know the possibility of this happening is not very high, I am still quite worried.
“…I want to follow Brother Cheng…”
Sister Bai Xue hugged Han Cheng and shook her head.
"Who will feed the silkworms if you leave? They will starve to death."
Han Cheng had no choice but to use his trump card.
Sure enough, as soon as the silkworms were moved out, Sister Bai Xue became less determined and began to hesitate.
When Han Cheng saw her reaction, he knew there was a way.
He laughed secretly in his heart, thinking, with his own abilities, how could he not be able to fool a little girl?
"Let Xing, Xiaomei, Xiaoli and the others feed first..."
Sister Bai Xue's voice sounded with a hint of surprise that she had found a solution.
Han Cheng was defeated, and his face, which had just shown a hint of pride, turned pale.
"Okay, you win, come with me tomorrow."
Unable to resist the child bride's constant nagging, Han Cheng finally had no choice but to retreat.
Sister Bai Xue happily hugged Han Cheng's neck and called him Brother Cheng.
It’s okay to bring Sister Bai Xue along, so that it will be more convincing when the time comes to tell Chaihu from the Fire Tribe.
Moreover, he had been with the little girl for a long time, and he hadn't seen her for nearly a month. Han Cheng missed her very much just thinking about it.
As for whether the child bride will abandon you, there is no need to worry too much. If such a thing really happens, just tie her back and be done with it.
Han Cheng thought shamelessly as he held the little child bride in his arms.
Before the sun rose and when it was still dark, the riverside, which was shrouded in a light mist, was already filled with people.
Some were on the boat, and some were on the shore.
Although it was not the first time to say goodbye, the feeling of parting still spread along the river, like a light mist, covering the place.
"Go back and guard the tribe until we come back with good stuff."
Han Cheng said to Wu, the eldest brother and others who were standing on the shore and refused to leave.
"sail!"
There are always endless words of farewell, and the feeling of farewell always makes people feel sad.
Han Cheng nodded vigorously as Wu kept reminding him. After a while, he gave the order to set off.
The anchor on the shore was collected, and the boatman used the pole to push on the shore, and the boat left the river bank and went downstream, gradually going farther and farther away.
When only a sea of black dots remained on the shore, even the most optimistic person would feel sad.
Compared with last time, Han Cheng felt much more relaxed. After all, everything he faced last time was unknown.
Unknown things always make people feel confused and scared.
In such an emotion, the oars cut through the surface of the river and went downstream. The dark green mountains on both sides and the trees that seemed even taller kept receding.
Sometimes, there would be a small gray bird named "Jiaolian", which would keep calling "Jiaolian, Jiaolian" and would circle towards the high and blue sky, as if trying to penetrate the clouds.
Only when only a small black shadow was left did it suddenly close its mouth, fold its wings, and fall down like an arrow, landing in the grass and disappearing without a trace.
The high sky, the white clouds, the water flowing under the boat, and the indescribable autumn atmosphere can be felt... Han Cheng lay in the boat, squinting at the sky, experiencing the wonderful feeling of lying down and looking at the motionless clouds in the sky, not knowing whether the clouds and I have something in common.
“Crash!”
A red-tailed carp, perhaps startled by the oars or rubbed on the back by the boat, jumped up from the water and hit Han Dashenzi in the face, who was caught off guard and in a state of panic.
The fear that rose in my heart was soon replaced by the surprise of jumping out of the sky.
This beautiful carp with a beard and a red body was put into a fish cage and moved with the boat.
Sister Bai Xue lay on the side of the boat and couldn't stop looking at this beautiful fish which she had never seen before.
Han Cheng peeled off a piece of fish scale on his face under the water and grinned with joy.
This is a good sign. We were hit by a koi fish just as we set sail. This journey will definitely be smooth.
The leader of the Sheep Tribe, who lived downstream and led his tribe members to hunt on a hill not too far from the river bank, met the Green Bird Tribe members who were floating downstream again.
He looked at the people of the Qingque tribe floating down the river with surprise and confusion. Apart from wondering why the people of this tribe were so far away from the tribe, he had no other thoughts at all.
The fate of the Bone Tribe and its leader completely killed his idea of taking advantage of the opportunity to snatch the Son of God.
The six small boats went downstream, and their speed was much slower than that time in the spring.
It's not because the river is flowing slowly, nor because the rowers are lazy, but because the canoes stop from time to time.
Someone walked down from the canoe and used bone fragments to collect some things on the shore and put them into the pottery jar he carried with him.
These collected things are iron bacteria.
The usefulness of iron tools left a deep impression on everyone in the Qingque tribe.
Without Han Cheng's instructions, their collection of iron bacteria could be described as relentless and fanatical.
However, the iron bacteria in the small rivers and ditches surrounding the Qingque tribe had been almost completely plundered when the four pieces of iron were cast last time. This made the people of the Qingque tribe, who were eager to make more iron tools, very uncomfortable.
This time, except for the initial section of waterway, the rest of the trip were waters that had never been searched for iron bacteria. They were almost obsessed with iron tools, and it would be strange if they didn't stop and go, and let these iron bacteria go.
Han Cheng was naturally very happy about this. After all, there were many places in the tribe where iron could be used.
Iron bacteria can be used to smelt iron and create iron tools, but there is no way to produce them on a large scale. Fortunately, the Green Bird tribe is not very large at present.
First use this method to slowly make some iron tools for use, and then slowly look for iron ore or copper ore. Maybe you will find it in time?
It is better to look for a horse while riding a donkey than to look for it barefoot.
