The autumn tiger is showing its power wantonly. Under the scorching sun, the people of the Green Bird tribe are also filled with fiery enthusiasm.
The sparkling sweat washed down, washing away the millet rust on everyone's bodies, dripping into the millet field after the harvest, soaking this fertile field.
The golden millet falls down one by one, bringing with it the joy of harvest.
"Let's go!"
The second brother shouted at the top of his voice, exerted his strength, and with the creaking sound of the wooden wheels, the wheelbarrow loaded with the corn started to roll, carrying the heavy harvest all the way to the threshing ground in front of the tribe.
Behind the second senior brother, there was a little kid who looked only four or five years old. She would squat down from time to time and pick up the ears of grain that had fallen on the ground. She already had more than a dozen in her hands.
There are five such carts in total, and behind each one there is a little doll like this.
The rest of the children who were not assigned such work kept searching in the fields after the harvest, picking up the scattered ears of grain that had fallen to the ground and placing them on the grain pile.
The people of the Qingque tribe were reluctant to waste food.
Next to the threshing floor, there was a huge pile of harvested millet.
On the scene, the first batch of millet harvested was spread out to dry.
Balloon holds a wooden fork in his hand and comes over to turn them over every once in a while so that they can be dried more evenly.
"Okay, let's start!"
Seeing that the sun was already setting, Han Cheng took a few ears of millet into his hands and rubbed them. When he saw that they were almost done, he led the well-fed Grandpa Deer over, put a harness on it, and then led it and the stone roller to the drying ground.
The other three people also each brought a deer and a stone roller and started threshing.
The heavy stone roller rolled over the soft grain and immediately sank half way into it. After rolling over it, a deep mark was left there.
Some grains were crushed and fell off the ears.
Han Cheng led Uncle Lu around in circles on the scene.
It's not about going around in circles, but about letting the latter circle press down on the former circle, progressing and moving in circles.
This can ensure to the greatest extent possible that all the grain spread on the ground is evenly crushed.
Balloon and a few other people who were using deer to pull a stone roller to thresh the field for the first time thought about the key points that Han Cheng had told them before while watching Han Cheng's demonstration. It didn't take them too long to master it.
Balloon seemed very excited because the effect of the stone roller rolling over it once was better than the five hits with the wooden fork. The key was that the speed was very fast.
Originally, he was worried that he would not be able to beat the opponent today after seeing such a large field all of a sudden. But now, after witnessing with his own eyes how fast the deer-pulled stone roller was on the field, all his previous worries disappeared.
Not only that, but I feel like there are too few...
After running for a while, they led the deer to the side, removed the harnesses from their bodies, and led them to a shady place to rest.
The balloons used wooden forks to turn the milled grains over, and then dried them in the sun. After a while, they beat them a second time, and a third time...
The Green Bird Tribe was immersed in the joy of the harvest and was working hard to harvest the grain. At the same time, the leader and people of the Green Tribe were also collecting the scattered wild grass ears growing around the tribe.
Looking at the small bundle of wild grass with spikes, the leader of the Green Tribe felt like crying but had no tears.
If I hadn't acted so rashly before, the amount of weeds that my tribe could collect now shouldn't be this much.
In this mood, he put a piece of leather that was not completely dried on the pile of leather in front of him.
This piece of undried leather was obtained by them not long ago.
"#@#!"
The leader of the Green Tribe looked at the things on the ground with some reluctance, then forcefully put the spike of weeds onto his shoulders.
The rest of the people also carried furs, fruits and other things on their shoulders and set off with the leader.
Compared to previous times when they went to exchange things, the people in the tribe seemed to be in a less cheerful mood.
Because this was the last thing they could take out, and after they finished eating the salt they had exchanged for, they didn't know what to do.
...Joining that tribe will give you free salt, which seems to be a good idea, and that tribe is so rich...
Such thoughts flash through some people's minds from time to time...
People from the Fire Tribe gathered at the bank of a river far away from the Qingque Tribe.
Docked on the shore was a canoe given to them by the Qingque tribe last year, in addition to several rafts made of wood.
Compared with the bamboo raft made by the Qingque tribe, this raft is much simpler and cruder.
But it is undeniable that they can really sail on the water and can be compared with rafts.
"&*¥&¥!"
As the Fire Tribe leader standing on the shore gave instructions, the people on the canoes and rafts beat their chests with their hands, signaling the leader not to worry too much.
Those who behaved more freely and easily were the four people from the Fire Tribe who went to the Qingque Tribe with Han Cheng and his friends last year, and then returned by boat on their own.
Compared to these four people, the other four people who were riding these floating vehicles for the first time seemed much more restrained.
One reason was that they had never ridden such a vehicle before, and the other was that they had never been away from the tribe for so long.
“%……¥!”
No matter whether they were reluctant to leave or whether they were nervous or not, the boats and rafts carried them upstream, getting farther and farther away.
The Fire Tribe people standing on the shore shouted loudly, blessing in their own way.
Only after those people disappeared from view did the leader of the Fire Tribe turn around and lead his people away to go hunting and picking fruits.
They had to hurry up. After all, with eight adults missing at once, they would get less food during this period of time.
Fortunately, after eating the food brought back from the water tribe, the people in the tribe have become much stronger, which can almost offset the lack of food collected due to the departure of these people...
A few days later, the Fire Tribe's fleet stopped in Yau Ma Tei. The people took sickles made from two stone sickles given by the Green Bird Tribe, stepped onto Yau Ma Tei, and began to harvest the mature wild hemp...
Ten days later, the fully loaded raft floated down the river, and they were greeted by cheers.
Afterwards, the wild hemp was thrown into a small river branch in bundles for fermentation.
Their place is close to a big river with many branches. According to the description of those people who have been to the Qingque tribe, it is very easy to find some places suitable for retting hemp.
More than a month later, the fermented wild hemp was pulled out of the water.
Ten days later, these people set out again, still with a small boat and a raft.
Three rafts were placed on the Yau Ma Tei shore. As they went upstream, there was only one canoe and one raft loaded with hemp skins...
