The boat went on and on, stopping from time to time, and when it was getting dark, it had not yet left the Red River.
Seeing that dusk was about to fall, Han Cheng ordered his men to stop at the Repulse Bay not far away.
The boat docked, and Junior Brother Sha and Shang led the men to the shore in a small boat and cleared out a space for cooking and resting.
Junior Brother Sha, Shang and others who had followed Han Cheng out once were fine. After all, they had stayed on the boat for nearly a month last time and had already gotten used to it.
Those who were taking a boat ride for the first time were not able to cope with it. After the initial novelty wore off, many of them began to feel uncomfortable.
I feel light and powerless.
Now that I've gotten off the boat and landed, my legs are weak, but I also breathed a sigh of relief.
People who are used to living on land always feel that a boat is not as stable as the ground.
Shang and Junior Brother Sha were very serious and responsible in arranging people for guard.
The eldest senior brother did not come this time, so these two captains need to be extra concerned.
The eldest senior brother did not come, which was an arrangement Han Cheng made after careful consideration.
The parasites in Second Brother's stomach had been there for a long time and were very stubborn. After more than two months of gradually increasing dosage of the juice from the roots of the poisonous grass, they were finally eradicated.
However, he lost a lot of weight and became weak, and he has not yet recovered to his peak condition.
The armed forces in the tribe would not be able to succeed without someone to take charge of the overall situation, so Han Cheng kept the eldest brother.
In addition, another reason is that several tribes that often come into contact with the Qingque tribe have begun to imitate bows and arrows.
From the moment he made the bow and arrow, Han Cheng was aware that he was going to be imitated.
After all, a bow and arrow is not a very complicated thing. To put it simply, it is just a bent stick and a rope.
Learning and imitation are a remarkable characteristic of human beings.
All he could do was to prolong the time it took for the other tribes to imitate him as much as possible.
For primitive people, the bow and arrow were not really difficult to learn. This can be proven by the fact that almost all races have records of using bows and arrows.
The most direct evidence is the classic photo of primitive people living in the jungle shooting airplanes with bows and arrows.
The emergence of bows and arrows has both advantages and disadvantages for the Qingque tribe.
On the one hand, it enabled the Qingque tribe to have a weapon that was more powerful and could shoot farther.
On the other hand, after the bow and arrow were imitated, the Qingque tribe, which relied on high walls for support, was threatened to a certain extent.
Although the bows and arrows in the hands of those imitators were far inferior to those of the Green Bird Tribe, after having the most basic bows and arrows, who could be sure that they would not improve them?
What this world lacks the most is miracles that seem to be far beyond common sense.
And humans are the best at creating miracles.
It is precisely these seemingly unreasonable things that have changed the world, allowing people to walk out of the wilderness and move towards glory step by step.
Otherwise, people should be hugging tree trunks and fighting for a few fruits, gathering together in groups and living a shameless life.
Amidst the mountains of corpses and sea of blood, someone crawled out.
In places where plague is everywhere and large numbers of people and animals have died, some people are still alive and well, burying people one after another.
A baby abandoned in the wilderness, without any ability to resist, and discovered by a wolf, should have been doomed to die, but a wolf child appeared.
It's just like being expelled from the Green Bird tribe because you don't want to work. Everyone thought you would die, but after escaping death, you actually got the bark of your mate.
Human beings are really a very magical species. There is only happiness that cannot be enjoyed, but no sin that cannot be endured. This statement is very true.
Before many things happen, some people will exclaim, 'Oh my God, how can I bear this? '
Once you really calm down, you will find that those who made such comments before are still living well.
The most important of these is human initiative, or strong adaptability.
The world is material and in motion, and the people living in the world are also not static.
The same person often behaves differently in different places and after experiencing different things.
For example, Lu Meng, who was revered after three days of absence, Zhou Chu, the leader of the three evils, who suddenly realized his mistake, and the bark that was a negative example of struggling to survive when he was chased out of the tribe and wandered in the wilderness, who was picky when he was well-fed and well-clothed in the Qingque tribe...
However, due to the appearance of the outlier Han Cheng, it was not easy for the surrounding tribes to catch up with the Qingque tribe in archery.
While they were still feeling smug about imitating this most basic weapon that could shoot very far, the bow in Junior Brother Sha's hand was already wrapped with snake skin, and the rope was replaced by softened deer hamstrings to serve as the bowstring.
If enough iron bacteria are collected during this trip, iron arrows will appear...
When those imitators have worked hard to come up with all these, they will find even more sadly that the Qingque tribe has already produced more powerful recurve bows and compound bows...
Of course, this is just Han Cheng’s idea. It is impossible for the surrounding tribes to imitate this.
The iron that gave Han Chengdu a headache was enough to give them a headache.
Moreover, Han Cheng would not give them too much time to do these things. Before they could finish these things, the Qingque tribe, which was growing like a snowball, had already crushed them...
"Brother Cheng, eat fish."
The sweet voice and a steaming grilled fish brought Han Cheng back to reality.
In my imagination, the invincible army that was planting the bluebird flag on a winding island and capturing all the female primitives there to give birth to monkeys suddenly disappeared.
The gap between ideal and reality is always so big.
Han Cheng took the grilled fish handed to him by Bai Xuemei and reached out to fiddle with her pigtails. A helpless look on his face was gradually replaced by a smile.
No matter whether it is a series that will last for your lifetime or for your descendants forever, just take each step steadily.
As for how far you can go, just let fate take its course. Perhaps only God or when you reach that step will know.
After dinner, it was completely dark and everyone got on the boat. As usual, they pushed the boat away from the shore and fixed it to the water with poles. They rested on it at night.
Some people, like Snow White, were happy to spend the night on the boat.
Some people were very scared, like Tietou, whose legs kept shaking.
Tietou swore that even after he and Ruhua had sex seven times in one night when they were newly married, his legs had never trembled like they did now.
After breakfast the next day, the ship set sail again.
It was almost noon when the ship dropped anchor again. Everyone went ashore and stayed there for two days before setting sail again downstream.
