Chapter 403: Forcing Growth



“Bang, bang…”

The light mist in the early morning had not yet completely dissipated when several explosions were heard from inside the Qingque tribe.

This is the unwilling wail of the completely dried bamboo in the burning flames.

"start!"

Han Cheng held a bone shovel, dug out the first piece of soil, and shouted to everyone.

Amid the occasional sound of firecrackers, his voice actually sounded somewhat mysterious and solemn.

Following his order, everyone who was already prepared immediately took action against the quiet land.

Stone pickaxes and bone shovels were dancing, and the ground that had been marked out in advance with ropes soon became unrecognizable.

Han Cheng, who dug the first bone shovel, after working for a while, picked up the bone shovel and left the working team. He changed from a worker to a person who watched others work.

Compared to when Han Cheng first arrived here, the Qingque tribe now has a lot more rules.

Most of this was done on his own initiative, without being too deliberate, and everything seemed to happen naturally.

During this gradual process, the people of the Green Bird Tribe did not feel that there was anything wrong. Instead, they felt that it was as it should be.

For example, what just happened was that Han Cheng, the Son of God, broke ground on the construction of the house. This was also a kind of ritual extended by Han Cheng.

Many times, things like this seem very common, but in fact, over the long term, they play a huge role.

To put it bluntly, this is a way for him to strengthen and maintain his position.

The witch who was walking around with the rabbit in his arms was usually happy as long as Han Cheng and the eldest senior brother were around.

A smile makes you ten years younger. Although this saying is not particularly accurate, Wu does look younger than before and is in better spirits.

Of course he was happy, because after the Son of God came, everything in the tribe was changing at a speed he had never dared to imagine before, and the tribe was moving further and further towards prosperity.

Faced with the increasingly better tribe, he was naturally in a very good mood.

As for some of the measures taken by the Son of God, he saw some of them, but never thought there was anything wrong with them.

This old primitive man, who only cared about the tribe, had no intention of fighting for power. In his opinion, the Son of God should be treated like this.

While the witch was holding the rabbit and smiling at the blue brick wall that had been laid and was some distance above the ground, the leader of the green tribe had a worried look on his face.

He squatted on the stone, looking at the empty salt jar, feeling listless.

The salt shaker was cleaner than his face.

This is nonsense. It has been rinsed with water three times. It would be strange if it was not clean.

But even so, after a while, the leader of the Green Tribe poured some water into it and rinsed it for the fourth time.

He held the salt shaker and shook it seriously. After a while, he carefully poured the water in it into the bowl. After stirring it, he couldn't wait to take a sip.

However, the soup was no different from before, and there was no taste of salt at all.

The leader of the Green Tribe sighed dejectedly and ate the food in his hand reluctantly.

He looked up at the other people in the tribe, and they all seemed to have little appetite, just like him.

After eating salt without restraint for more than two years, it is really painful for them to go back to the days without salt.

It's not just the stomach and intestines that suffer, but also their bodies. Many people feel that they don't have as much strength and energy as before.

They are not fools. When they think about how they became stronger after eating salt for a period of time, and then think about their current state, they naturally understand that it is because they did not eat salt.

Just as Han Cheng had expected before, many people who were used to feeling energetic after eating salt would find it unbearable to return to their previous state of being drained of energy.

“¥#%!!”

Finally, some people in the tribe couldn't stand it anymore and started asking their leader to go to the wealthy tribe to exchange some salt for their own consumption.

"¥34!"

Some people followed suit.

Although the others didn't say anything, they all looked at the leader expectantly.

The leader of the Green Tribe also wanted to go for the exchange, but he could not make up his mind because of the not-so-many animal skins and other food in the tribe.

"¥%3..."

He swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva and comforted everyone...

The leader of the Green Tribe walked out of the cave and slowly walked around the tribe. His eyes searched in the grass and fell on the wild grass that could produce many grass spikes.

This was not the first time he had come to see this kind of wild grass. After learning that this kind of wild grass could be exchanged for things in the tribe, he began to pay attention to these inconspicuous wild grasses.

His visits to the weed became more frequent, especially after the wealthy tribe announced that salt would no longer be provided for free.

In the past, there were a lot of this kind of wild grass around the tribe, but starting in the past two years, the number began to decline sharply.

This year, it is even less than half of last year.

The leader of the Green Tribe felt very sad when he saw the weeds decreasing in number and not producing any spikes.

My tribe has been without salt for several days, why haven’t these weeds produced ears of grass yet?

Not only do they not produce ears of corn, but they don't even grow tall. It looks like this today and it will be the same tomorrow.

This is really frustrating.

As he thought this, the Green Tribe leader's hand involuntarily fell on a wild grass.

Why can’t I grow taller?

He was so anxious that he couldn't help but pull the weeds up.

It had just rained in the past two days, and the soil was relatively moist, so he didn't have to use too much force to loosen the weeds.

The leader of the Green Tribe felt the sensation coming from his hand, looked down, and was suddenly surprised to find that the weeds that had never grown tall suddenly grew a lot taller after he touched them.

The leader of the Green Tribe, who was trapped by salt and anxious to exchange wild grass ears for salt, stared at the wild grass ears that were growing taller at a speed visible to the naked eye. His eyes suddenly lit up and he couldn't help laughing out loud.

He came to another wild grass, bent down, and used the same method to lift it up. This wild grass also immediately grew taller...

The sun was setting in the west. The leader of the Green Tribe, who was tired and had a backache, looked at the wild grass that was obviously much taller swaying in the evening breeze. He couldn't help but smile and praised himself for his cleverness.

I can think of such a good idea. I am so smart!

"¥%3#2!"

When he returned to the cave, he beat his chest and announced to everyone that it would not be long before they could exchange wild grass spikes for salt...
