Three days later, Han Cheng and his men also set out from Tongshan residential area and started their return journey.
During these few days, Han Cheng and the people who followed him got a good rest.
During the break, Han Cheng also organized the topographical drawings he had drawn in the future.
He also followed Junior Brother Sha to inspect the mines on the Copper Mountain, the mining of ore, the smelting of copper and tin, the reclamation of land, and the cultivation of grain.
While fully affirming the achievements of the Tongshan residential area, some guiding suggestions were also put forward.
Among them, the most important thing is to cut down more trees to support the excavated mine.
The mine in Tongshan is not deep and is quite solid. So far, there has been no collapse and no one has died as a result. But the more this is the case, the more careful you need to be.
As the mine continues to deepen, the risk factor will become greater. Necessary protective measures must be used to the best of one's ability. Otherwise, if something like a mine collapse occurs, it would be very distressing.
In later generations, when mining accidents occurred, many people were able to be rescued thanks to advanced equipment, professional rescue teams, and strenuous efforts to save people at all costs.
In this day and age, once something like this happens, it basically means the death of the person buried, so protective measures must be taken seriously.
While inspecting the copper mine, Han Cheng met Meng.
He was the one who wanted to take some people with him to escape because he felt unfair, but was caught and punished to become a slave to dig copper in the Copper Mountain.
At this time, Meng no longer looked like a human being. His beard and hair were matted together and were dirty and long.
There was a thick layer of dust mixture on his body and face, like armor.
There was a foul odor all over his body and his expression seemed very dull.
At that time, Han Cheng was about to go down the mountain accompanied by Junior Brother Sha and others. Meng was carrying a load of dug ore on a shoulder pole and a hoe, and walked forward tremblingly. When he saw Junior Brother Sha and others, he was stunned and involuntarily quickened his pace.
After realizing that this was Meng, Han Cheng suddenly felt uncomfortable.
After all, Han Cheng is a person who has received nine years of compulsory education. Apart from not having a girlfriend and being a bit of a homebody, there is nothing wrong with his other values.
It was normal to feel a little uncomfortable seeing Meng become so miserable under his orders.
When Meng was about to escape, everyone in the tribe was very angry, and Han Cheng was equally angry.
However, unlike others, Han Cheng's anger was mostly pretended for the people in the tribe to see, so that everyone could clearly know his attitude towards this kind of thing, and at the same time create momentum for the introduction of corresponding laws later.
In fact, Han Cheng actually had some hidden appreciation for Meng's desire to sneak away and not want to be a slave.
If someone dared to make him a slave, Han Cheng would fight back desperately. It would be too easy for him to sneak away like Meng did. He might even put some juice from poisonous grass into the food and let everyone in the tribe eat it...
However, although he admired Meng's behavior in his heart, he could not be lenient when dealing with it. After all, his positions were different. Now he was the slave owner, not the slave, and he could not be crooked.
However, after seeing Meng's appearance at this time, Han Cheng finally felt compassion.
If you think about it carefully, Meng's act can only be considered as an attempted escape.
Besides wanting to escape, he did not show any intention to hurt anyone or damage property.
The inhumane mining treatment in Tongshan for several years has basically offset the mistakes it made, and it also served as a warning to everyone and deterred villains.
So after some thought, Han Cheng gathered all the people in the Tongshan residential area that afternoon, and then had someone bring Meng down from the Tongshan mine.
In front of everyone, Han Cheng reiterated that Meng had made mistakes and the laws of the tribe.
Just when everyone thought that Han Cheng was going to kill Meng, Han Cheng said that Meng had not been lazy during his several years of mining career, and then announced an appropriate sentence for Meng.
The sentencing included being able to sleep in the slave yard in the Tongshan residential area at night, and eating food that was slightly worse than that of other slaves, but still better than what they had eaten in the Tongshan cave.
Appropriate reductions were also made to Meng's daily workload.
After understanding what Han Cheng meant, Meng was stunned for a moment, then knelt down in front of Han Cheng and burst into tears on the ground.
Such a scene not only made the people of the Qingque tribe in the Tongshan residential area further feel the kindness from the Son of God, but the slaves who looked at Meng, who was in a miserable state and lying on the ground crying, also had the idea that they must never make the same mistake as Meng.
As long as they think about what Meng has experienced in the past few years, they can't help but shudder...
On the way back, Han Cheng and his team did not take the road they usually took when traveling to the Qingque tribe. Instead, they still walked in the area they explored when they came here.
On this return trip, in addition to figuring out the situation in the area where we went astray, we also need to completely determine the route of the Bronze Expressway, and then try to build a road of more than ten or twenty miles before the autumn harvest.
“Dangdangdang…”
The sound of the collision echoed in the summer forest, startling several pairs of birds that wanted to make love.
On the way back, Han Cheng held some sharpened wooden sticks in his arms, and after observing them carefully, he stuck them into the ground.
Someone behind him came with a bronze hammer and pulled out the wooden stick he had inserted there, then nailed a large tree stick chopped with a bronze axe to its original location as a more eye-catching mark.
The rest of the people, holding sickles, axes and other tools in their hands, worked on the not-so-thick bushes on both sides of the nailed sticks, and initially cleared out a passage more than one meter wide to facilitate walking and make the signs more eye-catching.
The team walked, nailed, and cleared the way as they slowly approached the Qingque tribe.
This is truly a journey of hard work and overcoming all difficulties...
Nearly twenty days later, a group of people who looked even more primitive than the average primitive people returned from the west of the tribe.
If it weren't for the Green Bird flag fluttering in the wind with a hole on it, and the deer and dogs that followed, as well as the people of the Green Bird tribe who were equal in number and were looking forward to the return of the Son of God and his companions, they would hardly believe that the people dressed like this could be the Son of God and his companions.
"Son, call daddy!"
Han Cheng, with an unshaven beard, looked at Little Pea who came out to greet Bai Xuemei and shouted with laughter.
"No, Daddy, that's ugly..."
The little fellow hid next to Snow White as he spoke.
It was not until Han Cheng took out two red fruits and three chirping, furry little birds from the cloth bag that Little Pea, who could not recognize his father, was coaxed by Han Cheng into following.
He briefly greeted the witch, the eldest brother, and Sister Bai Xue, and asked them about what happened in the tribe after he left. After learning that nothing major had happened, Han Cheng hurriedly threw away the things he had brought back, then took the clean clothes that Sister Bai Xue had found, carried the bath basket, and hurriedly walked downstream of the stream.
There is an area specially designated for bathing.
The surrounding area was covered with soft sand, and my feet felt itchy when I stepped on it barefoot.
They also dug some pits less than half a meter deep, and it was very comfortable to lie in them with your head exposed and take an open-air bath.
Where this area connects to the stream, there is a bamboo fence woven from broken bamboo, with trees used to block the flow.
This is mainly to keep the fish in the stream out and prevent them from coming in.
After all, at this time, some of the fish living in the river are still quite ferocious. It’s okay if the smaller fish swim over, and it’s not too much of a problem if they are bitten by two of them. The only thing is that you’re afraid of encountering those big fish. If you are bitten by them, there will be no happiness anymore.
“Comfortable!”
I quickly threw off the extremely uncomfortable clothes on my body, then came to the water and lay down in the dug hole. The water warmed by the sun came up and wrapped my whole body. I couldn't describe how comfortable it was.
After lying down for a while, Han Cheng held his breath and went under the water, directly touching his body to the sand below. It took him a while to come out from under the water.
While letting out a breath, he wiped the water droplets off his face with his hand and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
The only drawback was that there were no watermelons at that time and no peanut fields around the bathing area.
Otherwise, you can take a watermelon and throw it into the water, pick up some peanuts and throw them into the water, take a bath for a while and pound the watermelon, eat the watermelon for a while and then eat the peanuts. It will feel so comfortable.
You can't even think about this. It makes you want to drool.
虽然曾经因为和周围的几个伙伴一起薅了人家地里的花生，在洗澡的时候，被那女人将衣服拿走，在水里待了小半天，嘴唇都是乌乌的，但这时候想起来，还是无比的怀念。
只可惜，韩成他们不是下入凡间戏水的七仙女，拿他们衣服，一直到太快黑的时候才给他们的女人家里也没有一头会说话的老牛，不然的话，能够再创造出来一个传说也说不定……
跟着韩成一起往铜山居住区走了一趟的人这时候也都陆续的过来了，下饺子一样扑扑通通的下了水，顿时就是一片直呼痛快的喊叫声。
这时候在河流下游一些的地方也有着人快活的声音传来，那是随着韩成前去铜山居住区的那些女原始人们下了水。
在韩成的潜移默化的影响之下，部落里的人已经知道了男女有别这样的这样事情，并渐渐的开始表现在了行动上。
就比如现在的青雀部落，一般而言到了炎热的夏天已经没有成年女性再光膀子了。
甚至于在大庭广众之下，解开扣子贪图凉爽的女性原始人也没有了。
在修建夏日的露天澡池的时候，对于韩成直接修建两个出来，众人也没有丝毫的不解。
毕竟部落里的厕所，以及冬天时洗澡用的澡池也都是分男女的。
这两个露天澡池之间，种着一片茂密的麻，因此上能够很好的隔绝彼此之间的视线。
不过，在下游的澡池子之中有女人们戏水玩耍的声音传来的时候，没有人说什么，原本很是喧闹的男澡池这里，很快就变得安静了起来……
这方面不管是这个时代的男人，还是后世的男人们都是出奇的相似……
小别胜新婚，韩成此次从离开部落到到返回，足足一月有余，这时候回来和小童养媳白雪妹之间，自然有着一番温存，不必细言。
第二天的时候，刮去了胡子，用一侧带着锯齿一般豁口的青铜剪刀剪去了过长的头发之后，韩成整个人都显得精神的多，不再如同昨天回来时那样的邋遢。
起床之后，带着小豌豆到部落周围的田埂上，逮到了一些蚂蚱，回来喂那几只韩成在回来的小溪边捡的小鸟。
这些三只小家伙还有些怕人，见到人过来之后，就往圈边上躲。
不过再怎么怕人也一样抵不过美食的**。
在韩成还有小豌豆将这些被他们抓到的、用狗尾巴草丛脑袋后面穿成一串的、大大小小的蚂蚱弄开，一只只的丢进笼子里面的盘子的之后，在那里惊恐的、嘎嘎叫唤的小家们还是慢慢试探着来到盘子边上。
伸长脖子，用带着幼鸟嘴角那种独有的嫩黄的嘴巴，叼到一只死去的蚂蚱，转身就往后面跑。
来到之前呆着的角落之后，这才仰脖将口中的蚂蚱囫囵着吞下去。
吃完之后，歪着头看看蹲在地上看着它们的一大一小两个没长毛的猴子，然后继续试探着去吃蚂蚱。
这样连续着重复了两三次这样的动作之后，这几个家伙的胆子明显大了不少，不再如同之前那样叼到一个蚂蚱就跑，而是站在盘子那里，用扁扁的嘴巴连续不断的在吞。
别看它们的个头小，吃东西的速度却是一点都不慢，几串子蚂蚱很快就被它们吃了大半。
这些蚂蚱下肚，几只小家伙的胆子变得更大了，其中一个家伙甚至还伸出嘴去吃小豌豆摊开的手掌中放着的那个蚂蚱。
扁扁、嫩嫩的嘴触碰到小豌豆软软嫩嫩的手掌，痒痒的，喜的小家伙嘿嘿直乐。
这只鸟类幼崽却被小豌豆的笑声惊吓，噙着蚂蚱、扑棱着小肉翅飞快的跑了……
这三只一身灰色绒毛、长着扁扁的嘴巴以及同样有些发灰的脚蹼的小家伙，是一种野生鸭子的幼崽。
当时从那道不宽的溪流处经过的时候，曾经有不少会飞的野鸭子之类禽鸟被惊得乱飞，这三只小家伙就是青雀部落的人在那里钉下木桩并砍伐周遭的草木的时候发现并捉到的。
本来当初发现的时候，那一窝足足有十来只之多。
只不过这些小家伙们的速度实在是太快了，别看还远没有到长成的时候，一个个在草丛里穿行起来，却是快的一匹。
众人一番的手忙脚乱之后，就抓到了这三只。
有喂养鹿、驴子、鹅、鸡这些东西的经验在，同行的人自然知道神子让他们抓这种能够在水里游的鸟是做什么用。
有极大的可能就是如同鸡、鹅这些东西一样饲养起来，到时间用来下蛋吃或者是直接养成了宰杀掉吃肉。
不过虽然明白韩成的用意，同行的贸等人，对这样的事情却不是太热心。
因为部落里已经有鸡子还有鹅这两种会下蛋的家禽了。
这两种东西，一个下蛋的频率高，另外一种下的蛋非常的大，两者相互补充之下，部落里有没有其余的禽鸟进行补充都没有什么关系。
这样的观念韩成一点都不认同，从后世而来的他，对集齐鸡鸭鹅这三种家禽界的扛把子有着很深的执念。
而且，鸭子这种东西如果饲养培育的好了，在下蛋上面也有着很强优势。
不仅仅个头要远比鸡蛋大，而且如果喂的好，吃的足了，这些家伙们有些时候能够一天下两个蛋。
天刚黑的时候一个，天亮的时候又一个。
并且，被腌制的往外冒红油的咸鸭蛋也是一种极其下饭的好东西，尤其是鸭蛋黄，吃起来最少舒坦不过。
鸡蛋这些东西当然也可以用盐腌了来吃，不过和咸鸭蛋比起来，总是差了不少的滋味。
除去咸鸭蛋这个东西之外，烤鸭也是一种令人不得不提起美味东西。
后世极为出名的北京全聚德烤鸭韩成没有吃过，不过街边卖的、十八块钱一只的普通烤鸭，以及三十多块钱一只、据说是用果树碳烤出来的烤鸭还是吃过的。
外面那层沾着孜然以及辣椒粉、烤的金黄的皮吃起来最是有滋味……
那几只吃蚂蚱吃饱了、就卧在那里不时伸展一下腿脚或者是小肉翅的小鸭子，不知道眼前这个身上没毛的大猴子已经在流着口水打它们以及它们后代的主意了，如果知道了不知道还能不能如同现在这样的这般淡定……
青铜高速是一件牵动所有所有人心神的事情，需要尽快的提上日程，
在韩成离去的时候，就交代了留在部落里的石匠木头、兼职铜匠二师兄等人，让他们在这一段时间来，再打造一些修路需要使用的工具出来。
如今工具已经完备，而路线也已经被韩成确定下来，修路的事情已经可以开始了。
从铜山居住区回来的第二天，早上带着小豌豆捉了一些蚂蚱喂了小鸭子之后，吃过早饭，韩成就开始跟巫、大师兄、二师兄、殇等人再次商议了一些关于修建道路的事情，而后，在保证部落其余的事情，能够正常进行的情况下，开始安排和抽调人手，为修路做准备。
被抽出来，进行修路工作的超过一半的人，都是青雀部落的奴隶。
修路这样的苦差事，自然是少不了他们的身影……
‘当当当……’
青雀部落的采石场处，有人敲敲打打的从那里揭起一块块的页岩，然后将这些岩石片子装到边上停着的双轮驴车之上。
“哈！”
随着驶车之人的一声吆喝，拉着驴车的驴子以及站在副手位置一起拉车的鹿就开始用力，拉着车上装着的一些石板，沿着之前铺就出来的石板路，转了两个弯之后，一路辘辘的朝着青雀部落田地西边的尽头过去了。
青雀部落周遭的农田里，早在之前的时候，就已经修建出了石板路，其中通往西侧的也有一条主干道。
这次修建青铜高速，这条之前就已经修建出来的主干道被韩成给直接用上了，成为了青铜高速最东侧的起点。
不过当初修建这条路的时候，部落里还没有双轮车，只有独轮车。
因此上虽然是主干道，其宽度也不过是两米左右。
到时间了还需要加宽。
不过因为现在两侧农田里的庄稼还没有成熟，现在就着手加宽的话将会毁掉不少的庄稼。
所以这次修建青铜高速，直接就是接着西面这条主干道继续往西而去的。
至于这一段老路加宽的事情，就只能是等到地里的庄稼收割完毕之后，再进行了。
此时，这条老路的尽头那里，分散着许多的人。
这些人手里拿着各种各种的工具，在按照之前分派下来的活计忙碌着。
有人拎着镰刀、斧头、锯子这些东西，沿着韩成他们回来的时候钉下的木桩、以及简单开辟出来的通道继续清理草木，将这个通道加宽加大，为后面的施工开辟出足够施展的空间。
A group of relatively high-end talents such as Bo, Shitou, Yuan, etc., under Han Cheng's teaching, used rope grass brand measuring tapes, long ropes, and poles to straighten the road along the area cleared by the people in front of them and the wooden stakes roughly nailed by Han Cheng before, and circled the exact position of the road and the width of the road with lime powder.
Behind them came another group of people, carrying metal tools such as shovels and hoes, and leveling the land along the road they had marked with lime powder.
Later, someone used tools to tamp the loose soil firmly and make it smooth.
On these initially leveled lands, some people paved the ground with stone slabs pulled from the quarry.
Stone slab roads are more durable than ordinary dirt roads, and there is no need to tamp the soil too tightly when paving stone slabs. Han Cheng finally decided to pave a section of stone slab road.
Of course, this decision was made on the premise that the road is not too far from the quarry. Once the road extends five or six miles forward and the paved road is too far away from the quarry, we can only start building a pure dirt road.
Of course, if large traces of shale are found along the road, then the situation is a different matter.
In fact, even stone roads are not as good as cement roads.
However, the tribe can only burn lime now, and the known limestone production area is far away from the Qingque tribe. Even if cement can be burned, it is unrealistic to build such a long cement road with the manpower and resources of the Qingque tribe at this time...
