It is often said that a short separation is better than a new marriage. In fact, before going on a long journey, the experience is similar to a short separation.

Although I have told myself more than once that I will set off early tomorrow morning and will have to travel for a while, but in the end, I can only sum it up with one word: It smells so good.

Summer, early morning, outside the wall of the Qingque tribe.

The sky was already bright at this time, but there was still some time before the sun came out. In the past, when it was cool at this time, the people of the Qingque tribe would have spread out around the tribe and started busying themselves with their livelihoods, but now there were few people working around the tribe.

Of course, it wasn't that everyone was sleeping in. Instead, everyone was gathered in the open space outside the gate of the Qingque tribe, seeing off the Son of God who was about to go to Tongshan to expand the Tongshan residential area, as well as the warriors of the tribe.

At this time, Han Cheng was holding Little Pea and talking to Wu and the eldest senior brother, explaining some things.

Sister Bai Xue, who has become a mother, is no longer as crazy as she was last night. Now she follows Han Cheng as obediently as a little white lamb.

She didn't say anything, just looked at Han Cheng quietly, with tenderness in her eyes.

The living environment and experiences will bring some changes to people. With the increase of age and life experience, Bai Xuemei, who has become a mother, has also changed a lot compared to the time when she could distinguish between boys and girls.

She would no longer follow Han Cheng as she did before, wanting to follow him wherever he went. This time when Han Cheng went out to Tongshan, Bai Xuemei did not mention going with him.

Because she was still taking care of Little Pea at home, and also had to teach some not very strong women in the tribe how to raise silkworms, spin silk, and weave cloth.

She also has a lot of things to do, just like her brother Cheng who is away and those who are going to develop and protect Copper Mountain, what she does can also promote the development of the tribe.

These things were told to her by Brother Cheng, and Sister Bai Xue believed them deeply.

In fact, she believed everything Brother Cheng said, just like when Brother Cheng told her that clothes with holes looked good on her.

Han Cheng lowered his head and kissed Little Pea hard on the face. Little Pea seemed to be a little disgusted and dodged aside.

The little guy was not awake yet. It was Sister Bai Xue who forced him to wake up, so he looked a little sleepy at this time.

He handed the little guy to Bai Xuemei's arms, rubbed Bai Xuemei's head, and said with a smile: "Take good care of yourself and your son, and wait for me to come back."

This was a very heartwarming and serious farewell, but after Han Cheng finished speaking and winked at Bai Xuemei, he immediately mixed in some other words.

Others could not understand the meaning, but Sister Bai Xue knew it clearly. The sadness caused by the impending separation was instantly dispelled.

“Let’s go!”

After a brief farewell, Han Cheng walked to the front of the team, stretched out his hand, shouted loudly, and set off first.

Seeing this, other people in the tribe led their deer, carried their loads, said goodbye to their fellow tribesmen, and followed Han Cheng forward.

The desire to work hard in distant places and make more contributions to the tribe diluted the sadness of leaving the big tribe and its people.

Under the gaze of many tribesmen, they picked up their bags, raised their heads, took more determined steps, and followed the Son of God walking in front of them, under the green bird flag fluttering in the morning breeze, heading towards a distant place.

This time, we must build the Tongshan residential area, provide enough copper for the tribe, and firmly guard the tribe's copper mine...

Many of them do not have the ability to express such thoughts accurately, but they truly exist in their hearts and stir in their chests.

Like a group of warriors who took up weapons and were ready to bring back glory, wealth and stability to the tribe, the people of the Green Bird tribe who were developing the Copper Mountain residential area left the tribe and headed towards the place where they were going to fight.

"start!"

After watching the team developing the Tongshan residential area go further and further away, and watching the Green Bird flag flying in the wind gradually disappear, the eldest senior brother withdrew his gaze and shouted loudly.

Everyone seemed to have something on their mind, and upon hearing the eldest brother's order, they immediately picked up their tools and started working, more efficiently and with more enthusiasm than before.

It seemed as if he didn't want to lose to the person who left the tribe and went far away to work for the tribe.

That’s how it is. In life, we always experience some touching moments that make us full of energy.

It cannot be seen or touched, but it can give us strength and allow us to have more courage to fight, keep our original aspirations in mind, and keep moving forward.

The midday sun was shining brightly, and the heat between heaven and earth was unbearable. Occasionally, a few gusts of wind rose, but they were warm and intoxicating.

At this moment, after several days of walking, the people of the Qingque tribe, led by Han Cheng, finally arrived at Tongshan.

After nearly a year of transporting ore from Tongshan to Qingque Tribe, a weedy path has been built between Tongshan and Qingque Tribe.

Some were trampled out, and some were chopped out with sickles and axes. This is truly a process of overcoming difficulties.

Now that the road is built, the journey is much smoother. Compared to before, one trip can save almost a day.

At noon, the Tongshan Mountain was sparkling under the scorching sun, emitting a metallic luster, which easily reminded Han Cheng of the word Niushan Zhuozhuo.

I wiped the sweat from my forehead, and new sweat immediately came out.

After taking a look at Tongshan from afar, Han Cheng, who was tired, thirsty and hungry, didn't bother to develop Tongshan and immediately ordered people to rest in the shade.

I haven't been to the cave. If you don't fumigate it with smoke after a period of time, it will be uninhabitable.

Following Han Cheng's order, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They were also very hot after walking all the way.

After a short rest, everyone started feeding the deer, collecting firewood, and cooking, all in an orderly manner.

After lunch, everyone drank two bowls of tea made from dried bamboo leaves and slept for a while leaning against a tree trunk. After avoiding the midday sun, under the leadership of Han Cheng, everyone had recovered a lot of energy. Some of them were tidying up the cave of the former Tengshe tribe. This will be the residence of the Qingque tribe for some time to come.

Another group of people were cutting down trees in the surrounding area in preparation for subsequent construction and charcoal making.

Han Cheng was not idle either. He took Heiwa, Junior Brother Sha and a few others to wander around Tongshan, choosing a suitable location to build the furnace.

While working towards your ideals, there will inevitably be moments of fatigue. Take a break when you are tired, but after resting you need to continue working towards it.
