"Bang~Bang~Bang~"
As Han Cheng stood up and walked towards the window, there was a noise outside, not too loud but rhythmically coming from him.
Han Cheng was curious and puzzled, so he went to the window and looked out quietly.
What came into view was the bright moonlight and the shadows of houses and trees cast on the ground.
The inner courtyard was quiet and nothing unusual was seen.
Han Cheng frowned slightly, then began to move slowly in front of the window, changing his angle to look outside.
After a while, when he walked to the westernmost side of the window, tilted his head against the edge of the window, and looked as diagonally as possible to the east, he saw some different scenes.
Under the bright moonlight, a figure was standing in a place in the yard, holding something like a large wooden board in his hand, and hitting it against a wooden stake planted there again and again.
With each of his impacts, there would be a small 'bang' sound.
Han Cheng has already recognized the person whose behavior seemed rather strange. It was his senior brother.
He held it and pushed it against the wooden stake without using much strength, and it hit the rattan shield again and again.
After seeing this scene, Han Cheng couldn't help but sigh softly, then scratched his hair with his hands.
He understood the feelings of the senior brother, and it was precisely because of this understanding that he wanted to come up with a best of both worlds solution to this matter.
But how many ways are there to have the best of both worlds in this world? Many things require trade-offs.
If it really doesn't work, tell the senior brother not to reform the Rattan Shield Team.
According to the current situation, even if no rectification is carried out, it will not be easy for these tribes to gain any advantages over their own tribe in terms of arms and equipment.
But this method is probably a bit mysterious.
It was not because Han Cheng could not make the decision, but based on his understanding of his senior brother, after knowing that the Rattan Shield and the Rattan Shield Team had become useless to the current tribe, even if he said that the Rattan Shield Team should be preserved, his senior brother himself would not agree.
As one of the earliest people in the entire tribe and also the leader of the tribe, the eldest brother, who is usually not ostentatious, loves and contributes to the tribe no less than anyone else.
He even loves this tribe, which is growing stronger day by day, more than Han Chengdu.
Han Cheng sighed secretly again and did not go out directly to persuade and comfort the senior brother. Going out and talking to the senior brother at this time would only make him embarrassed.
Moreover, sometimes, when faced with difficulties like this, you can only rely on yourself to overcome them, and others cannot help much.
Han Cheng stood here and watched for a while, then quietly returned to the kang.
I lay there with my eyes open and continued to think about things.
It was unknown when the faint 'bang bang' sound coming from outside stopped, but Han Cheng's mind was still haunted by the image of his senior brother holding a shield and ramming it against the wooden stakes under the moonlight.
It was unknown how long this had passed, but Han Cheng, who seemed a little confused, suddenly had an idea in his mind.
Just now, he suddenly realized a misunderstanding about the shield!
The misunderstanding is that we have always regarded the shield as a defensive weapon, but we forget that the shield can also be used to attack people!
For example, just now the eldest brother was holding a shield and ramming it against the stake, which is a way of attacking using a shield.
However, because the outside of the shield is too flat, even if it hits a person, the damage is far less than that caused by sharp weapons such as bronze spears.
Therefore, whether it was Han Cheng or the eldest senior brother who often used the rattan shield, they subconsciously ignored the fact that the rattan shield can be used not only for defense but also for attack.
Now that Han Cheng realized this, the problem that had troubled him for a long time was solved at once!
Since the damage caused by the rattan shield hitting the body is too small because the outer side of the rattan shield is too flat, wouldn't it be better to make the outer side of the rattan shield less flat?
For example, you can install some four or five centimeter long bronze spikes on the outside of the rattan shield. People with great strength can install more on the shield in their hands.
With these bronze spikes, if you use this shield to hit someone...
Han Cheng couldn't help but shudder when he thought about that scene.
If there are enough bronze spikes on the shield, the enemy will be hit by the shield. After such a blow, won’t the person being hit become a sieve?
A bucket of water was poured in, and then it leaked everywhere like a shower head...
In this way, these rattan shields become dual-purpose offensive and defensive weapons!
Moreover, compared with the armor worn on the body, the rattan shield still has certain advantages.
That is, once such shields are connected together, they can immediately erect a wall in front of the army formation, and it is a wall that can move forward like a hedgehog!
Because when the rattan shields were first made, the Qingque tribe did not have armor, so in order to maximize the defensive capabilities of the rattan shields, they were made as high and wide as possible.
This is how the Green Bird Tribe's rattan shield came to be in its current form - the person holding the rattan shield only needs to bend down slightly, and the entire person will be completely covered by the rattan shield.
This kind of shield formation is usually hard to break, and now bronze spikes are installed on the rattan shield...
As long as he thought of the scene of the spiked shield wall rapidly advancing towards the enemy, Han Cheng felt somewhat helpless for the future enemies of the Qingque tribe...
After coming up with this idea, Han Cheng became excited.
He wanted to go out and find his senior brother at this time and tell him the good news, but after listening carefully for a while, the sound of rattan shields hitting wooden stakes in the yard did not sound again. He walked to the window and looked out for a while but did not see his senior brother. He guessed that he had returned to his room and gone to sleep.
It was already very late at night, and the autumn grain harvest would continue tomorrow.
If you do heavy work during the day and don’t sleep well at night, it’s easy for you to collapse.
For the sake of his senior brother's health, Han Cheng decided to wait until tomorrow to talk to him about this matter.
Han Cheng lay back on the kang, thinking about these things.
The tangled issues in his heart had now been well resolved, and he fell asleep not long after...
"Son of God, disband the Rattan Shield Team..."
The next morning, Han Cheng had just gotten up and had not had time to wash up when the eldest senior brother came over to him.
And without waiting for Han Cheng to say anything, he took the initiative to talk to Han Cheng about disbanding the Tengdun Team.
The eldest brother's eyes were bloodshot and he looked a little listless. It was obvious that he did not sleep well that night.
If the senior brother had come to talk about this matter before last night, Han Cheng would still feel uncomfortable, but now, he doesn't feel uncomfortable at all.
"The Rattan Shield Team doesn't need to be disbanded."
Han Cheng said to the eldest senior brother with a smile on his face.
The eldest brother was stunned when he heard this, then he reacted.
The Son of God saw how miserable he was, so he changed his decision.
But in the presence of armor, the rattan shield is indeed unnecessary.
The eldest brother realized this, and his already red eyes became even redder.
"Son of God, it's alright, let's disperse..."
The eldest brother's eyes were red and he smiled and said to Han Cheng with a very firm attitude.
As soon as he saw the senior brother's state at this time, Han Cheng basically understood what the senior brother was thinking.
"No need, I have thought of a way to make the vine shield better. It can make the vine shield more lethal!"
Han Cheng said to the eldest senior brother with a smile.
The eldest brother, who had originally been very resolute in his attitude, suddenly became less resolute.
"real?"
After being stunned for a moment, he looked at Han Cheng with surprise and some doubt, and asked.
He immediately realized that his behavior was inappropriate.
When it comes to major issues, the Son of God has never broken his word over the years. Now that the Son of God says there is a way, then there must be a way.
Although I have been trying to find a solution these days without success, my wisdom is obviously different from that of the Son of God.
"Of course it's true!"
Han Cheng smiled and stretched out his hand to pull away the hand that the eldest brother had held on his mouth, indicating that he had just spoken out of turn, and said with great certainty.
"All we need to do is to cast some bronze spikes that are pointed in the front and thick in the back, and attach them to the outside of the rattan shield..."
As soon as Han Cheng's words came out, the eldest brother's bloodshot eyes suddenly lit up!
As someone who often used rattan shields and had used them to hit people many times, he quickly realized that once he really did as the Son of God said and installed some sharp bronze thorns on the outside of the shield, the rattan shield would have a very powerful attack power!
Seeing the eldest brother standing there with a look of surprise on his face, Han Cheng, feeling very refreshed, turned around to wash up, leaving the eldest brother, who had been overthinking for a while, to enjoy the surprise here.
“God…Son of God, this is really possible!”
"Attach the bronze spikes to the rattan shield, and I'll charge forward with the shield..."
The eldest brother, who usually doesn't talk much, has become a complete chatterbox at this moment.
Han Cheng was squatting there brushing his teeth with a cup in his hand, and he followed behind Han Cheng, talking non-stop with an excited look on his face.
在那里说着他所能想到的、装上青铜刺的藤盾的种种好处,纵然蹲在那里那里闷着头刷牙的韩成一声都没有吭,大师兄一样还是越说越是兴奋。
“神子,我去割谷子去!”
洗漱完毕的韩成刚想给大师兄再说上一些关于这种盾牌的事情,已经兴奋的无以复加的大师兄,冲着韩成喊了一声,转身风一般的就跑掉了。
这种打了鸡血一样原复活的状态,看的韩成忍不住的笑容满面。
在将这件事情解决了之后,青雀部落秋收就只剩下了带着劳累的喜悦了。
起来的有些迟的韩成,洗漱过后,又将院子里养的鸡鸭鹅兔子这些东西喂了一遍之后,天蒙蒙亮就起来下地收割谷子的人也拎着镰刀回来了。
部落里饭这时候也已经做好了,稠的插筷子不倒的小米粥,配上凉调的一些菜,一人再吃上半个切开的咸鸡蛋,清淡却也开胃。
吃过早饭,稍做歇息的众人便再次下地,韩成这次也没有在部落里待,带上一个草帽,和众人一起下了地,走进了那充满希望与收获的田野里……
“噗!”
夜幕再一次降临,笼罩四野,天空之上的那轮变得更加饱满了一些的明月如约出现。
银白色的月光照耀下,大师兄手里握着已经被装上‘獠牙’的藤盾,朝着面前这个裹着一层皮子的草人狠狠的撞去。
兽皮只是稍微的阻挡了一下,上面的尖锐的青铜刺就已经刺了进去。
等到大师兄将手中几乎与脖子平齐的藤盾移开,在周围进行围观的人就都凑过来观看。
看着草人身上被刺出来的五个窟窿,再看看那在月光下闪烁着一些寒芒的藤盾,围观的众人不由的倒吸凉气。
遇上这样一个打不动还拥有极强共攻击力的敌人,这真的会让人很绝望啊!
甚至就连长戈队中的一些人,都有些想要加入藤盾队了。
藤盾队中的人,看着这带着獠牙的藤盾,一个个都是目光热切的不行,恨不得现在就将自己使用的藤盾也给装上这些东西。
“等到秋收完毕,粮食都收进仓之后,就开始都多的铸造青铜刺,把藤盾都给装上……”
韩成朝着众人宣布,顿时就响起一阵兴奋的如同狼嚎一般的回应……
有着改造藤盾的这样的事情为动力,本就非常积极的众人,这个时候变得更加积极了,尤其是那些藤盾队的人,一个个更是如同打了鸡血一样……
在众人这样的努力之下,田地里的谷子在以肉眼可见的速度减少。
打谷场里面,堆积起了一座座由谷杆组成的小山。
部落里的粮仓,也迅速的变得充实了起来……
当谷子收割了一多半的时候,今年新种下的料豌豆也已经成熟了。
于是韩成就分出一部分人来收割这种青雀落的新粮食。
对于这些料豌豆,韩成可是抱着很高的期待的。
日子就在这样的忙碌之中,一天天的渡过,等到青雀部落将所有的粮食都收割完毕,并统统打理好,晒干装进仓库里,已经是一个多月后的事情了。
持续一个多月的秋收里,部落里的人都瘦了一圈,不过与之相对的,却是部落里旧有的粮仓全部装满之后,又将新建造出来的两排粮仓给装满了。
去年就已经建造好的粮食窖,等到今年冬天,终于可以往里面储藏粮食了!
粮食进了仓房,众人一下子就都松了一口气。
接来的事情就轻松了,只需要将已经开始落叶子的麻收割了,捆成捆压在沤麻池子里好好的沤沤,基本上也就算是齐活了。
地里的这些活刚刚弄好,就有人想要接着去修建青铜高速了,比韩成这个从后世而来的人都要勤劳。
韩成没有同意,而是强制性的给部落里的人放了三天小假,让众人好好的休息一下。
毕竟人终究是人,不能当作牲口来使,一定的休息还是非常必要的。
额……
把人当作牲口使还不是最可怕的,最可怕的是把牲口当作人……
三天小长假开始之后,足足连续忙碌了一个多月的青雀部落,一下子就变闲适了下来。
众人在这样空闲的日子里,或者是去露天澡堂里去泡澡,或者是修剪过长的头发。
一些闲不住的人,则拎着箩筐,去摘取那些已经成熟了的果子。
“嘎嘎嘎……”
那些从未来的野鸭驿站那里捡回来的鸭蛋已经被喝醉了的老公鸡给孵化出来了。
成功晋升为鸭妈妈的它带领着一群小鸭子在专门建造出来的鸭舍里走着,不时还会从地上啄起一些发现的食物,重新放回地上,歪着脑袋‘咕咕’的叫着。
而一旦它发出这样的叫声,这群由它孵化出来的、跨越物种的干儿子们,就会迈着小短腿朝着它飞跑来,如同一个个小绒团在地上滚动,然后去抢吃的。
当有人接近鸭舍的时候,这家伙更会‘咕咕’的叫着,半张开翅膀、并把羽毛弄的蓬松蹲在地上。
分散在周围的小鸭们就会一边惊慌失措的叫着,一面飞快的钻进老公鸡的翅膀下面,寻求着来自这只特殊的鸭妈妈的庇护。
一些调皮的小鸭子还会从公鸡的羽毛下面钻出来一个小小的脑袋,新奇又带着一些天然呆的看着周围的景物。
这些小鸭子,以及隔壁的那些鸡子,韩成最近几年都没有将它们放出去自由活动的打算。
这一方面是这些家伙的智商没有狗子们高,不明白不能随地大小便这个高深的道理。
另外一方面就是韩成担心一旦将它们给放出去,它们以后就再也不回来了……
外侧围墙那里,有带着斗笠以及皮手套的人,在拿着竹刀往下割蜂巢。
距离他们四五米远的地方,围着一些正在吮手指的未成年人,眼巴巴的看着那被割下里的蜂巢,渴望能够分食一些。
那甜蜜的滋味,怎么都让人吃不够。
只是相对于部落的人口而言,如今的这些蜂蜜还是太少了些。
一个人一年也不能吃到几回。
对于甜蜜的味道,许多的人都非常的向往,尤其是小孩子。
韩成到现在都记得儿时那一颗被咬成两半的水果糖的滋味。
用she头顶着水果糖在嘴里来回的划拉,听着糖块和牙齿相撞发出哗啦的声响,味蕾被甜蜜的味道刺激着,那种欢快与满足真的是令人记忆犹新。
在韩成小时候的那个年代,小孩子尚且对糖果这样的稀罕,就更不要说如今青雀部落的这些未成年人了。
如今部落的生活虽然还算不错,但和韩成小时候相比,还是要简陋上许多,至少在零食方面,就远远比不上韩成小时候。
韩成那时候有糖块、瓜子、辣条、方便面、泡泡糖、冰棒、哇哈哈……
而现在的部落,除了罐头以及一些不常给他们吃的蜂蜜与肉干之外,其余可以称之为零食的东西,一概没有。
看着部落里这些未成年的孩子们眼巴巴的看着割下来的蜂巢直流口水样子,韩成吸了吸鼻子,再苦不能苦孩子啊!
瓜子、辣条、哇哈哈这些东西韩成没有本事弄出来,冰棒这种东西,没有冰箱或者是纯度比较高的硝石也弄不出来。
不过水果糖这种东西还是可以尝试一下的。
虽然这事情之前他也没有做过,但看看部落里这些未成年人盯着蜂巢眼馋成这副模样,韩成觉得还是非常有必要尝试一下的。
就算是不成功,最多也就是浪费掉一些果子和时间罢了。
现在的部落不再是之前那种揭不开锅、一到冬天全靠秋天收获储藏的果子来度日的状态,一些果子还是浪费的起的。
至于时间……
韩成现在最不缺少的就是时间。
其余不说,单单是没有手机、电脑、以及小说这三样东西,韩成每天就能空闲出大把的时间。
说干就干,拖拖拉拉不是原始人的风格。
下了这个决定之后,韩成抬步往部落的另外一侧走去。
在那里,一些人正在将摘回来的一些果子削皮,清洗之后准备熬煮罐头。
在韩成的带领下,依靠着双手将部落一点点建设到如今这种令诸多部落都艳羡的模样,青雀部落的人基本上都明白一个道理。
那就是好的生活是空等不来的,只有依靠双手去劳动,才能拥有更多更好的东西,让部落一日日变得更好。
所以这也就渐渐的养成了许多人闲不下来的习惯。
虽然韩成说要放三天的小长假,但是部落里许多人,在沐浴完毕,理发刮胡子之后,还是在做着一些事情。
就比如摘果子熬煮罐头这些事情。
这些事情在他们看来,并不劳累。
韩成说了几次,他们都是笑着说没事不累。
面对拥有这样好习惯的族人,韩成也只能是无奈的听之任之了。
“这一盆子果子给我,用刀切成小块。”
韩成指着其中一盆子的削好皮的果子对这几个人说道。
These people naturally listened to Han Cheng's words and immediately cut the fruits into small pieces according to Han Cheng's request.
After cutting it like this for a while, someone curiously asked why the fruit was cut into such small pieces.
Because in the past, when they cooked canned food, they would just cut the fruit into four pieces at most. But now the Son of God wants them to cut the fruit into such small pieces. Could it be that he wants to make some small cans?
"Instead of canning food, I want to try making a kind of food called fruit candy. It tastes very sweet and delicious."
Han Cheng explained to them with a smile.
