Things in the world are very strange. After one twist and turn after another, an event may very likely undergo a drastic change. Good things can turn into bad things, and bad things can turn into good things.
At this time, the Qingque tribe became the biggest beneficiary of this turning point.
Just like the people of the Huangguo tribe who were tossing and turning on the kang, too excited to sleep, or leaning over and touching the warm earthen kang, crying silently, unable to believe that all this was true, Han Cheng, who was lying on the kang and smelling the urine smell in the room, was also grinning from ear to ear.
There were forty-eight people, twenty-seven of whom were adults, although two of them looked older and overall they looked rather frail.
But these are not a problem for Han Cheng.
After living in the tribe for a while with good food and drink and recuperating, each of them can become a good laborer.
Among the remaining minors, four are about to become adults and will be able to do a lot of work after the spring begins.
This means that there are more than 30 very good laborers at once.
According to the current production level of the Qingque tribe, the output value that these thirty or so people can create through their labor in the tribe is more than enough to support themselves and other people in the tribe.
The remaining things are their contributions to the tribe.
With the sudden appearance of the Huangguo tribe, Han Cheng could slowly start to work on the Tongshan residential area that had been put aside.
Of course, they would not allow the newly arrived Huangguo tribe to move to the Copper Mountain, smelting copper and producing food to become self-sufficient.
Doing this does not improve production efficiency, but makes enemies for your own tribe.
When the time comes, the people who will go to the Tongshan residential area will of course be mainly the old men from the Qingque tribe, with some slaves as well.
With the continuous mining of copper and tin mines, the surface ore will gradually be mined out, and then the process of digging deeper will begin.
Working in a mine has never been a safe job. Even in later generations, when various technologies and machines are so advanced, mining accidents still happen from time to time, let alone in this era.
As the mine continues to deepen, the chances of dangerous things happening become higher.
In time, the main force of mining will become slaves in the tribe...
Of course, it would take a long time for such a thing to happen. After all, the Qingque tribe has few people, poor tools, and limited mining capacity. It is not easy to reach this level in a short period of time.
Once the Tongshan residential area was established, the tribe had a stable source of copper.
Han Cheng also looked carefully at the area near the Tengshe tribe cave. The surrounding terrain was flat and the trees were relatively lush. There were also some streams not too far from the cave.
When the time comes, you can chop wood, burn charcoal and smelt copper, and then reclaim land where the trees have been cut down to grow crops. That's great.
There is a lot of land that can be reclaimed around there, and there is more room for development than the current location of the Qingque tribe.
It can be predicted that with the continuous development and growth of the Qingque tribe, the Tongshan residential area relying on Tongshan will surely develop well in time.
The division of the Qingque tribe has been settled. One of the two places has a salt mine, and the other has a copper mine. With mutual support, the tribe will become more stable...
In the dark, Han Cheng lay on the kang and thought about these things. The more he thought about it, the more energetic he became. He was full of confidence in the future of the Qingque tribe.
Thinking about these things, he completely ignored the smell of urine in the room.
The smell of urine in the room is a must-have smell in homes with children.
In later generations, there were diapers like "Genius First Step", and if conditions allowed, the houses of more particular people might not have such a strong smell, but that is no longer the case now.
Diapers made of linen are not absorbent enough, so children can easily wet them. Even if they whistle to help the child pee, it is still impossible to avoid the smell in the room.
Han Cheng used to be unable to stand all kinds of strange smells, but now, he can excitedly imagine the future in a room filled with such smells.
I have to say that children are indeed a good way to cure mysophobia.
The next day, Han Cheng woke up from his sleep. The people from the Huangguo tribe who had arrived yesterday were still filled with novelty and surprise.
The wide variety of things in the Qingque tribe dazzled them. It was not until then that they realized that in addition to fire and food, there were many other wonderful things!
Not to mention anything else, just the fact that they could use a small stick that was bitten into pieces and some salt to brush their teeth in the morning was enough to surprise them.
What surprised them even more was what happened next. After the people from the Qingque tribe poked their teeth, they actually spat it out.
This is precious salt! How could they bear to give it away?
The people of the Huangguo tribe widened their eyes.
So, this morning, the people of the Huangguo tribe, who were reluctant to waste salt, collectively swallowed their own...
Inside the cave, the sound of leather drums thumped, and the rough totem poles and Han Cheng standing beside them all sparkled in the light of the fire.
Spoonful of wine was poured into the mouth of Qingque, who was tilting his head back, and then flowed out from his toes into the pottery bowl below.
The aroma of wine with a slightly sour taste spread throughout the cave. Apart from the sound of drums, the only sound left was the pleasant sound of wine flowing into the bowl during the intervals between drum beats.
Bowls of wine were placed not far in front of the totem pole, with the firelight and human figures reflected in the wine bowls.
After a while, the bowls of wine came into the hands of the people of the Huangguo tribe who were standing there quietly.
The leader of the Huangguo tribe, Dou, held the wine bowl in his hand and felt it was very heavy.
The ceremony, which he had never experienced before, filled his heart with solemnity and dignity.
He already knew the meaning of Qingque wine very clearly. As long as he drank this bowl of wine, he would truly become a member of this tribe, and it also meant the disappearance of his original tribe.
But after listening to the Son of God's explanation of the price of betrayal, he drank the very meaningful wine in the bowl without much hesitation.
Living in this tribe for the past few days, he experienced wonderful things that he had never imagined in his life.
In this case, what reason did he have to hesitate? As for the price he would pay after betrayal, Dou didn't care at all.
Because in such a tribe, no one would be foolish enough to choose to betray.
What's the point of betraying and going out? Continue to live a life of hunger and cold?
Not only him, but the rest of the people in the Huangguo tribe also drank the Qingque wine without any hesitation.
The elders of the Qingque tribe, led by Han Cheng, looked at the newly joined people from the Huangguo tribe and smiled friendly...
