Inside the Qingque tribe, Han Cheng's face was filled with joy.
In the Tongshan residential area, the population around the tribe declined sharply because of the presence of the Tengshe tribe, a tribe that was hated by gods and ghosts and always wanted to turn the people of other tribes into food for the winter.
When the Teng tribe was conquered and planning to build the Tongshan residential area began, Han Cheng also asked the people of the original Teng Snake tribe who had been tamed and had lived in the tribe for nearly two years, and learned that there were no other tribes in the area close to the original Teng Snake tribe.
The remaining tribes are all far away from the Tengshe tribe.
Such a result made Han Cheng feel very melancholy more than once, because in this way, it would be too difficult for the Tongshan residential area to exert its radiation function while smelting copper.
As for setting up a trading team in the Tongshan residential area like the main tribe, and then using Tongshan as the center to look for surrounding tribes to promote trade, Han Cheng had also considered it before, but he rejected it in the end.
The main reason, of course, is not that the tribe lacks people like Mao who are talented in trade and foreign exchanges.
People are trained. If you want to form another trade team, you just need to draw some people from the old trade team, use them as the skeleton, and then match them with some newcomers and choose a more talented person to lead.
At the beginning, this newly formed trade team was indeed not as good as the old trade team and was relatively unfamiliar with all aspects. However, after leaving the protection of trade and honing their skills over a period of time, they gradually became better.
Even though the leader is still not as talented as Mao, with the solid support of the Qingque tribe, it is not a problem to trade with the surrounding tribes.
The main reason was that the main purpose of establishing the Copper Mountain at that time was to smelt enough copper and tin for the tribe to use.
In addition, all the tribes close to Tongshan have been destroyed by the Tengshe tribe. Under such circumstances, it would be difficult to establish the second Qingque trading team there.
Now, some of the former tribes have migrated back. Of course, this will make Han Cheng happy.
Because this means that as time goes by, in addition to smelting copper and tin, the Tongshan residential area will gradually begin to influence the surrounding population.
Advanced civilizations naturally have attractions and advantages in many aspects for lower-level civilizations. In addition, with the existence of Han Cheng, a black-hearted time traveler, behind the scenes, under the continuous output of the Qingque tribe, those tribes that are closer to the Qingque tribe and have more contact with it will inevitably be affected by the Qingque tribe and assimilated at uneven rates.
"Tell Junior Brother Sha that these people must not be killed. They must be treated well. They will be of great use to the development of the tribe in the future..."
Han Cheng came back to his senses from these fantasies, realized something, and quickly spoke out.
When dealing with foreign enemies, the person with the strongest murderous intention in the tribe is Shang, who had suffered misfortune before, followed by Junior Brother Sha, the archer.
Having lived in the tribe for so long, Han Cheng already knew Junior Brother Sha's character very well. He had a strong desire to kill others, but he would not kill indiscriminately.
But this time it's a little different.
Because this time these people climbed over the wall of the Tongshan residential area, and the people of the Qingque tribe knew how important bronze was to the entire tribe.
As Junior Brother Sha, who is in charge of the Tongshan residential area, his understanding of this is more profound than that of the ordinary people of the Qingque tribe.
Under such circumstances, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. It was not impossible to kill these people or make them into slaves.
After hearing Han Cheng say this, the one with the best eloquence among the eight people who returned began to tell Han Cheng about Junior Brother Sha's thoughts and practices.
When they returned to the tribe from the Tongshan residential area to report the news to Han Cheng according to the order of Junior Brother Sha, the old primitive people had not left yet, and Junior Brother Sha had just started his plan to keep them with delicious food...
"Hahaha..."
After hearing this person talk about Junior Brother Sha's thoughts and actions, Han Cheng finally couldn't help but laugh.
Junior Brother Sha's obscene actions sound really soothing.
After Han Cheng laughed, the more he thought about it, the happier he felt.
With my continuous output in the past few years, the people in the tribe have become very different in the way they handle many things. They are no longer stubborn and have learned to use their brains.
Han Cheng was of course happy with such a result.
Because if the Qingque tribe wants to grow and survive, it cannot rely on him alone. The people in the tribe need to gradually change their ideas and lifestyles, and inherit and develop the advanced things he brought from later generations...
It seems that the decision to station Junior Brother Sha in the Tongshan residential area for garrison was not wrong at all.
Han Cheng was very satisfied with the fact that he did not rely on brute force to capture those people from the outside tribe this time, as well as the series of decisions and methods that were carried out afterwards.
This is what a tribal garrison should look like.
If Junior Brother Sha and Shang were to swap positions, Han Cheng felt that there was a high possibility that what happened this time would be rewritten.
After understanding the situation, Han Cheng, in a good mood, asked the eight people who had rushed back from Tongshan to quickly eat some food and then rest.
The reason why so many people were mobilized to transmit a message was, on the one hand, that Junior Brother Sha asked each of these people to carry a copper ingot while sending the message back, and on the other hand, the Tongshan residential area was too far away from the Qingque tribe, and the journey was not very safe.
If only one or two people are sent back and forth, there is a high possibility that these people will never come back.
The same principle also applied when the old primitive people came to the Tongshan residential area to investigate the news of the Tengshe tribe and mobilized six adults at one time.
The eight people who came back from Tongshan ate the delicious food of the tribe, looked at familiar tribesmen, and saw familiar yet unfamiliar scenery. They felt warm in their hearts and a little excited.
It feels so good to be back!
Looking at the Son of God who was beaming with joy because of the news they brought back, and then looking at everything around them, such thoughts arose in the minds of the eight people who returned from Tongshan...
The round moon shines over the nine provinces, some are happy while others are sad.
It is daytime now and the moon cannot be seen, but similar things are happening.
To the northwest of the Tongshan residential area, at a certain distance away from the Tongshan residential area, there is a cave with some people scattered inside and around the cave.
It was daytime, and except for some people who were too young to work, everyone else was busy around the cave.
They might collect some fruits, dig wild vegetables, or use a stick to turn over some soft grass to find a white bug about the size of a two or three-year-old child's thumb, or use a well-made simple harpoon to spear fish...
Everything we are busy with is for food and survival.
Those minors who looked young also followed the adults and learned how to get food.
The difficult life in the tribe makes life difficult for everyone. They all need to work hard and try their best to feed themselves and survive.
This is a portrayal of the lives of many people in many tribes in this era.
And this situation will continue. After many years and many years, the situation of minors shouldering heavy responsibilities and pressures of survival too early will change and be replaced by various games, snacks, electronic products, etc.
Compared to this tribe, the minors in the Green Bird tribe are much more comfortable. Not only do they have enough food to eat and clothes to wear for both winter and summer, they also have some small games taught by the Son of God to play, and they can also study on the long benches behind the long wooden table in the large blue brick and tile house.
It's a completely different kind of learning for the minors in these tribes.
"Puff!"
“Crash!”
The sound of a wooden stick piercing into an object was heard, followed by the sound of water splashing everywhere.
As the water drops fell and the calm of the water surface was broken, a fish that was pierced by a wooden stick in its body, thought it could still be rescued, and kept wagging its tail, emerged from the water. It was caught by a big black hand and thrown onto the grass.
"￥%R5!"
Two minors nearby who had been trying to harpoon fish in the water with tree branches for a long time without success could not help but let out a muffled cry of surprise.
They looked at the jumping fish on the grass and the adults holding harpoons with envy and admiration, then continued to stare at the river with their harpoons in hand, ready to kill one or two fish.
However, the adult who stabbed the fish to death was not as excited as the two minors.
He stood up with the harpoon in his hand and couldn't help looking towards the southeast.
Apart from some scattered tribesmen who were there to get food, the places farther away were still quiet. Nothing happened and nothing appeared, which made this person even more anxious, uneasy and uneasy.
For the convenience of writing and identification, this tribe will be called the Wind Tribe here.
The reason why it is called the Wind Tribe is because several people have seen the beautiful scenery when climbing over the stone wall of the Tongshan division of the Qingque Tribe.
The man who was full of anxiety and trepidation after stabbing the fish was the leader of the Wind Tribe.
The leader of the Wind Tribe was of course anxious, because the several tribesmen who were sent out to the location of the Teng Snake Tribe to find out whether the evil tribe was still there had not returned yet!
The old primitive man and his companions had left the tribe for a long time. It would be strange if he was not worried. After all, this time they were going to the place where the powerful and evil Teng Snake tribe was located!
The stone marks that the old primitive man carved on the cave wall when he left have now been crossed out by him with slashes.
Not only that, after drawing these slashes, the leader of the Wind Tribe drew a lot of marks on the back.
According to the previous agreement, after marking all the traces carved by the old primitive man, he would lead his people to leave here and find another place to live.
But the leader of the Wind Tribe has been slow to act according to the previous agreement.
One reason was that he didn't want to abandon the old primitive man and the others who left with him.
In the past few years, the Feng tribe has not lived in peace. First, they were harmed by the Tengshe tribe and were forced to move to the unfamiliar north.
After they finally gained a foothold in the north, the winter there became long and cold again, so they had to return again.
In this back and forth battle, not only their physical strength was consumed, but also the lives of their tribe.
During this process, not only minors and the elderly died in their tribe, but many adults also died.
The result was that the number of people born and surviving in the Wind Tribe was less than the number of people who died, and the size of the tribe decreased.
If the tribe loses these adults at this time, the situation will become even worse.
On the other hand, after a long and difficult journey, they returned to their original tribe and finally lived a stable life. If they left the tribe at this time and went to a strange place again, the tribe might become even weaker and might even gradually die out.
In this era, without sufficient tools, food reserves and population, it was a very risky thing to rashly leave the tribe's original living place and move to an unfamiliar place.
But if we don’t migrate, it will also be very dangerous.
The old primitive people haven't returned yet. Even if the leader of the Wind Tribe is not very smart, he can easily connect them with the people of the Teng Snake Tribe.
And judging by the evil and cruelty that the Teng Snake tribe had shown in the past, after something like this happened, the most likely thing they would do was to bring the captured tribesmen to find the location of their own tribe. If this were to happen...
It is precisely because of this consideration that in recent times, the leader of the Wind Tribe has not led the strong adults in the tribe out hunting, but stayed in the tribe and obtained food around the cave with the rest of the people by spearing fish and collecting wild fruits.
This was to prevent the evil Teng Snake tribe from coming when he took the strong men of the tribe out hunting.
If that happens, the situation in the tribe will become even more miserable!
Wait a little longer!
Wait a little longer!
When the moon becomes full and the primitive people have not returned, they will start to migrate...
The leader of the Wind Tribe looked at his tribe members who were laughing from time to time because they had obtained food, and tightened his grip on the harpoon. He made up his mind...
Not too far from the Feng tribe, an old primitive man with a limp, along with a few other people, was walking as fast as possible with wooden sticks in their hands.
But at this time, because there were basically no roads, it was very inconvenient to walk. In addition, the old primitive man's leg injury had not fully healed, and his physical strength had been almost exhausted after walking all the way.
Even though the old primitive people tried their best to hurry on their way, they still couldn't increase their speed.
It’s all my fault for being too greedy. If not, I would have returned to the tribe by now and told everyone in the tribe the good news!
But the food was really delicious...
Hurry up!
Walk faster!
The old primitive man who was leading the way endured the fatigue and walked forward with all his strength, while he kept repeating these words in his mind to encourage himself.
On the one hand, they were worried that if they returned too late, the leader would have already migrated his people to other places. On the other hand, they were worried about the great news they had received this time, which was enough to make the entire tribe ecstatic.
As they got closer to the tribe, the old primitive man couldn't help but become more excited.
When he escaped from the evil Teng Snake tribe and went through untold hardships to return to the tribe, he had never been as excited as he is now.
Standing here and resting for a while holding the tree trunk, the old primitive man reached out and touched his back. After feeling the things on his back, the old primitive man became more excited and expectant, and a lot of strength suddenly surged out of his tired body.
"￥%RR!"
He held onto the tree trunk, turned around and spoke to a few people around him who looked equally excited, then headed towards the cave at a slightly faster speed than before...
“￥%6￥!”
“￥%6￥!”
The leader of the Wind tribe, who was holding a harpoon and correcting the fishing postures of two minors, was suddenly startled and looked up in the southeast direction which he had looked at countless times, his face showing excitement, joy and anticipation.
It’s a pity that the grass and trees there were too dense and no one was seen there.
As the Wind Tribe leader's heart was beating like a drum, shouts came from that direction again.
He has identified the owners of these voices. They are the ones who followed the old primitive man to the evil Teng Snake tribe to gather information!
They are back!
“￥%6￥!”
The leader of the Wind Tribe responded excitedly, then ran in the direction where the sound came from.
Most of the people from the Wind Tribe who were scattered in this area to get food reacted like the leader of the Wind Tribe at this time, and they all ran towards that side shouting wildly.
For a moment, the place that originally seemed somewhat quiet was suddenly filled with the noise caused by running. Some birds that had landed on the ground to find food or were standing on branches were startled by the noise, and they flapped their wings and flew away into the distance.
The old primitive man, who was already extremely dirty, and several other people who were already exhausted, actually ran faster when they heard these responses...
“￥%6￥!”
When the returning people met those who were waiting to return, there was immediately a wave of joy. The leader of the Wind Tribe grabbed the old primitive man who was about to fall, and spoke with an excited and joyful expression.
After a while, the leader of the Wind Tribe looked behind the old primitive man, pointed at a strange object made of animal skin, and asked the old primitive man questions.
The actions of the leader of the Wind Tribe reminded the old primitive man, causing him to suddenly become extremely excited and energetic.
The old primitive man couldn't wait any longer, so he took off the thing on his back and put it carefully on the ground. After opening it, he grabbed a handful of something and handed a piece of it to the leader, motioning the leader to put it in his mouth and eat it.
The leader of the Wind Tribe took the strange-looking thing in his hand and looked at it back and forth for a while, and recognized that it seemed to be meat.
But unlike the common meat they eat, these small pieces of meat are dry.
Under the expectant gaze of the old primitive man and five other people who returned from the Green Bird Tribe, the leader of the Wind Tribe put the seemingly strange food into his mouth.
As soon as this food entered his mouth, the Wind Tribe leader's eyes widened immediately, and his chewing speed instantly increased, with an expression of surprise and enjoyment on his face while chewing.
After seeing the leader's performance, the old primitive man and the other five people all showed kind and extremely happy smiles.
Afterwards, the old primitive people distributed these small pieces of food to the other people in the tribe, who stared at their leader who was chewing without talking and swallowing his saliva.
The people of the Wind Tribe who were given this delicious food had the same wonderful expressions on their faces as their leader after they put this strange food they had never eaten before into their mouths.
Some children were so excited that they ate this strange but delicious food with great care, and chirped and compared the size of the food in their hands with each other, as happy as little birds...
The old primitive man and the five people who came back from the Tongshan division of the Qingque tribe felt particularly comfortable when they saw the scene in front of them.
These delicious foods were among the ones that the kind tribal leader packed for them when they left. The quantity was small, but they were the most delicious of all the foods.
After they ate a little, the old primitive man ordered them not to eat any more and told them to bring it back for the people in the tribe to eat.
They had eaten up the rest of the food on the way, and were so hungry that they looked for some wild fruits and vegetables to fill their stomachs. The old primitive man did not allow people to eat these things called "dried meat" by the kind tribe.
Such behavior once puzzled those people, and some even thought that the old primitive man wanted to take the opportunity to steal food for himself.
But at this moment, seeing the people in the tribe eating the dried meat they brought back with great joy, their dissatisfaction instantly disappeared, and they also understood the old primitive man's approach.
Watching the people in the tribe eating jerky made them feel that it was more delicious than eating the delicious jerky themselves.
Especially for some minors in the tribe, they broke the jerky in their hands, hesitated for a moment, and handed the larger part to them. When they ate it, they felt that it was all worth it...
The seemingly dull Feng tribe became lively and joyful because of the return of several old primitive people.
Especially after they learned from their mouths that the evil and powerful Teng Snake Tribe no longer existed, the entire Feng Tribe suddenly became boiling.
For the people of the Wind Tribe, the evil and powerful Teng Snake Tribe is like a mountain pressing firmly on their chests, making it hard for them to breathe.
Even the minors in the tribe who have just begun to understand things can feel this feeling of being unable to breathe.
The leader of the Wind Tribe opened his mouth so wide that he could almost swallow a fist.
The evil and powerful Teng Snake tribe disappeared just like that and was defeated by another tribe. This made him feel an overwhelming joy and shock.
After standing there in a daze for a long while, a look of fear suddenly appeared on the dark and dirty face of the leader of the Wind Tribe.
Because he suddenly thought of the tribe that destroyed the Tengshe tribe and settled down near the Tengshe tribe's cave.
That tribe was able to defeat and destroy the powerful Teng Snake Tribe, which shows that it is stronger than the evil Teng Snake Tribe.
If this tribe is as evil as the Tengshe tribe, then wouldn't my own tribe have even less chance of survival?
Thinking of this, the leader of the Wind Tribe suddenly lost his composure.
He grabbed the old primitive man's arm and eagerly expressed his concerns in this regard.
The old primitive man was confused by the leader's sudden action, and the food in his hands fell to the ground.
After understanding the chief's concerns, the old primitive man felt relieved and smiled kindly.
Not only him, but several other people who came back from Tongshan residential area couldn't help laughing.
That tribe was so kind and generous, how could they possibly come and attack them?
Because he had just returned and time was short, the chief had been eagerly asking about the Tengshe tribe, so the old primitive man had not had time to say anything about the kind Qingque tribe. He had been itching to say something in his heart.
When asked this by the chief, he could no longer hold back and began to tell the chief about the Green Bird tribe with great interest, not even bothering to eat the food he picked up from the ground.
The few people who had returned from the Tongshan residential area became excited and gathered around when they heard the old primitive man talking about the kind and powerful Qingque tribe.
Especially the female primitive who had a deeper understanding of the Green Bird tribe, looked even more excited.
They were all very happy to talk about this magical, dream-like experience, and were even more happy to talk about that dream-like tribe.
“￥%…D%…”
As the old primitive man continued to talk, the place that was originally very lively because of their return gradually became quiet.
The people who were scattered around with food gradually gathered around, not daring to make a sound, and listened carefully to the old primitive man's story...
As the old primitive man continued to speak, the panic and anxiety in the eyes of the Wind Tribe leader gradually disappeared, and were replaced by increasingly intense surprise and shock.
Later, the Wind Tribe leader's mouth opened unconsciously again, and it opened wider and wider and could not be closed for a long time.
The rest of the people in the Wind Tribe also opened their mouths wide, looking at the old primitive man and a few other people who were beaming with joy, their faces filled with longing and shock.
"Gudong!"
After talking about the delicious fried fish, the old primitive man swallowed his saliva with an intoxicated look on his face.
"Gudong!"
"Gudong~"
The people around followed the old primitive man's movements and swallowed their saliva together. It was a spectacular scene.
Everyone was awakened one after another by the spectacular sound of swallowing saliva. They looked at each other and felt a sense of unreality as if they had just woken up from a dream.
When I looked at the old primitive man and the other five people again, I felt that everything that had just happened was just like a dream.
When this feeling came to people's minds, some people began to feel that what the old primitive man said was not credible.
It's not that they don't trust the old primitive man, but because what the old primitive man said is too unbelievable.
However, their disbelief had just arisen and had not had time to develop further when it was completely shattered.
It was the old primitive man who broke it.
The old primitive man, who had made himself extremely greedy because of the food in the Tongshan residential area, remembered the jar of delicious salt that the kind and generous chief had given him when he came back...
As dusk fell, the fire illuminated the entire cave, and the aroma of food filled the air.
Under the illumination of the flames, the eyes of the people of the Wind Tribe were sparkling, as if there were flames burning in them.
What they were looking at so eagerly was the delicious "salt" in a beautiful stone jar, which the leader held in his arms with great care and looked at with great caution!
That wealthy, powerful, generous and kind tribe can really make the food extra delicious!
They were all surprised to hear from the old primitive people that the food they ate in that tribe was even more delicious than this.
The salty food they eat tonight is unimaginably delicious to them. Food that is even more delicious than this is... really unimaginable!
…
As night fell, the fire inside the cave continued to burn.
The people of the Wind Tribe, who in the past would have either fallen asleep or hummed little songs while hugging their spouses, did not show the slightest sign of tiredness.
With their eyes wide open, they gathered around the fire and listened to the old primitive man and five other people who had returned from the Copper Mountain residential area talking about the magical tribe. Each of them was extremely yearning for it.
The life of primitive people was more monotonous and scarce, and basically there were not many changes. For them, the experience of the old primitive people during this period was more exciting and attractive than the feeling of junior high school students in later generations reading fantasy novels about cultivation.
So, that night, the people of the Wind Tribe did not go to bed until very late.
There are many people who toss and turn and have trouble falling asleep. Many people who have never suffered from insomnia have experienced it for the first time...
The next morning, the women of the Wind Tribe, who basically never washed their faces, followed the returning female primitive to wash their faces, and then followed her to learn how to braid beautiful braids...
