Chapter 814: The Greatest National Events: War and Sacrifice in One



#Wow~*! "

Outside the Qingque tribe, people from the two tribes followed Gu, Shitou and others along the roughly built road to the outside of the Qingque tribe. At this time, they looked at the tall and wide walls and the large number of people who came out to greet them. They all opened their mouths in surprise. Some even uttered a series of Mandarin mixed with their own tribal languages.

Even the old primitive man who ran the fastest among the group and thought he was knowledgeable had his eyes wide open and his mouth opened so wide that a fist could be stuffed in!

Although they had learned a lot about the Qingque main tribe from Shitou during the past few months of getting along with each other, and knew that there were taller walls than the Tongshan residential area, more people living here, and more and better things, and they had been mentally prepared to a certain extent, but when they really saw these things at this moment, they were still extremely shocked.

After all, before they came to the main tribe, the best they had seen was the Tongshan residential area. When listening to Shitou's narration, although they had expanded as much as possible on the Tongshan residential area they had seen, they felt that the Qingque main tribe in their imagination was already the best. However, they did not expect that the real Qingque main tribe was even more grand than their best imaginations!

It would be strange if they were not surprised under such circumstances.

Looking at the tall and majestic wall and the many people in front of them, the old primitive people, who had experienced the initial shock, suddenly lost most of the expectations and hopes they had before the arrival, and were replaced by some awe and uneasiness.

This is just like when two people who get along very well, one is poor and the other is rich, the poor one goes to the house of the rich one.

When we were outside, I felt that both of them were the same, with no difference. But after arriving at Fu's house, I could always feel the huge difference between myself and this person.

Except for a very small number of people, the rest will feel unnatural and ashamed.

This feeling can then develop into alienation.

This was the mentality of the old primitive people at that time.

"Haha, you guys are finally here!"

Han Cheng, who got the news, walked out from the passage where everyone had separated, and greeted the people from the two tribes with a smile on his face. Before they arrived, he started talking happily, then grabbed the old primitive man's hand and shook it hard.

After shaking hands with the old primitive, he shook hands with the other adults one by one, took the handful of lollipops from the witch's hand, and gave the lollipops to the old primitive and these minors with a smile.

Then he reached out and touched the heads of these minors one by one, pinching the cheek of one, touching the head of another, and spoke to them with a smile from time to time, asking them about road construction or Mandarin, and was very kind.

Because of Han Cheng's appearance and his performance, the fear and alienation that had just appeared in the hearts of the old primitive people and these minors gradually disappeared, and the uneasiness in their hearts slowly subsided.

The Son of God was still as kind and amiable as ever. He did not become harsh or distant just because they were in a different place. He treated them as well as ever.

“Is the candy delicious?”

Han Cheng asked with a smile to the minors who were eating lollipops with smiles on their faces.

"tasty!"

These minors took the lollipops out of their mouths and said in unison:

Extremely happy.

"Which of you can write the word 'sugar'?"

Han Cheng asked with a smile.

"I will, I will!"

As soon as Han Cheng finished speaking, a little girl with pigtails raised her hand impatiently. When she saw Han Cheng smiling and nodding at her, she stepped happily out of the crowd, broke off a small stick, lay on the ground, put a candy in her mouth, and began to write carefully, stroke by stroke.

After a while, the word "sugar" appeared under her hand.

The handwriting seemed childish, but it was indeed the word "sugar".

"Well written, this is a reward for you!"

After Han Cheng carefully looked at the word "sugar", he smiled and said to the little girl who was looking up at him expectantly, and took out a lollipop and handed it to the little girl.

The praised little girl looked at the smiling Son of God and the lollipop in front of her, and immediately smiled widely and sweetly. The gap where her front tooth was missing looked very conspicuous.

"Son of God, I can write!"

“I can write too!”

After seeing the little girl receive personal praise from the Son of God and a lollipop, most of the other minors became delighted. They said this one after another and found branches to write on the ground.

Those who couldn't find branches used small stones to write on the ground.

While these minors were lying on the ground writing, two minors were standing there without moving.

It's not that they don't want to write, but they don't know how to write. Looking at their friends who were standing there happily after writing the word "sugar", and getting praised by the Son of God and a lollipop as a reward, these two guys felt regretful and envious, and looked like they were about to cry.

Han Cheng noticed the two little guys and couldn't help but smile. The kids of this era are honest and don't even think about cheating, otherwise in this situation, they would just need to take a glance.

If this had happened when he was in school, such a thing would never have happened. Not to mention that the 'invigilator' himself was so lenient. Even if the rules were strict, there would always be people who showed off their skills.

There are all kinds of methods, such as cheating, sneaking glances, secretly kicking the legs of stools to give secret signals...

"Why didn't you write it down? Didn't you remember it before?"

Han Cheng walked up to the two little guys, squatted down and asked softly.

It would have been better if Han Cheng didn't ask. After asking, the two little guys immediately burst into tears.

"It's... no use... use your heart..."

The little guy was sobbing.

Han Cheng reached out to wipe away their tears, rubbed their heads, and comforted them softly: "Then just study hard in the future."

As he said this, he moved the hand behind his back to the front like a magic trick, with two lollipops in his hand.

"This is for you."

The two little guys' eyes lit up when they saw the lollipops, but they didn't reach out to take them because they remembered that they couldn't get the reward because they didn't write the word "sugar".

"This is a reward for your honesty. There are so many words written by others in front of you. You can write them just by looking at them, but you didn't do that. Instead, you bravely admitted that you can't write, so you can be praised."

Han Cheng said to both of them with a smile.

The sound was not loud but not a small one either. Many people around heard it. The two little guys who had originally lowered their heads completely raised their heads again and looked at Han Cheng hesitantly.

"Here."

Han Cheng said to them with a smile and handed the lollipop in his hand to them.

The two men then took the lollipops from Han Cheng.

"Your honesty should indeed be rewarded, but your punishment should not be reduced, because you two are the only two who cannot write the same book taught by the same person in the same amount of time."

Han Cheng continued to speak to the two people.

The two little guys tightened their faces, waiting for the punishment from the Son of God.

As for the things that the Son of God said needed punishment, they themselves agreed very much, because everyone else had written them down and only they two had not.

Looking at the two little guys with stern faces, waiting to be punished as if they were ready to die, Han Cheng raised his hand.

As everyone watched with bated breath, Han Cheng, with a serious expression...

He flicked his fingers on the heads of the two little guys three times.

"Okay, I'll teach you a lesson this time. You must study hard in the future and don't play around anymore."

Han Cheng reached out and rubbed the two little guys' heads again, smiled and told them to go aside to eat candy, and then called the people from the two tribes to go inside the wall.

The two little primitive men who were hit on the head by Han Cheng ate sweet lollipops and looked at the Son of God walking in front of them. They made up their minds to study hard and continue to be honest in the future.

Not only the two of them, but also the minors who were not punished by being shot on the head, and even many adults who saw this scene, were deeply impressed by Han Cheng's way of handling the matter, which was clear about rewards and punishments but also showed care.

Most of the thoughts in his mind were similar to those of the two little primitive men, and at the same time he had even more respect and admiration for the Son of God.

The group walked into the courtyard of the Green Bird tribe, looked at the many houses lined up in rows in the courtyard, looked at the many livestock, looked at the many pieces of bacon tied with ropes and hung on racks for drying, like a forest of meat... everyone was shocked beyond words.

This is truly shocking!

Many things in the tribe refreshed their cognition. Like many people who came to the Qingque tribe for the first time, the old primitive people were shocked over and over again by what they saw.

"Blat!"

Because he was so surprised that his mouth opened too wide, the lollipop in the old primitive's mouth fell to the ground. The old primitive was very distressed, so he quickly bent down to pick it up, blew it hard, and put it back into his mouth.

From now on, when you see something surprising, just stick to the principle of just opening your eyes wide and not opening your mouth.

Looking at these old primitive people who were like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, Han Cheng was in an extremely good mood. Not only him, but everyone else in the tribe was also very happy.

However, Han Cheng's joy was deeper than that of ordinary people. He was not only happy about the things made by his own tribe, which made the old primitive people of the Feng tribe feel extremely surprised, but he felt that it was a stable situation for these two tribes to join his own tribe.

After the joy of the meeting faded a little, Han Cheng arranged for people to boil hot water for the people of the Feng Tribe and the Linfeng Tribe to take a bath. Also needing a bath were the road construction team of the Qingque Tribe who had returned with them.

The temperature is getting lower and lower, and it is no longer suitable to take a bath outside. So even though the people of the Qingque tribe have been trained by Han Cheng to have the habit of bathing, it is impossible for them to take a bath in the wild under such weather conditions.

As for heating water for bathing during road repairs...

They have been working hard outside to build the road, so they don't have that much time to do this.

Not everyone can be like Pan Jinlian, who has someone who diligently takes care of everything for her, without her having to worry about anything else and who only needs to be responsible for boiling water for her bath at home.

After returning to the tribe, taking a bath is a must, firstly to keep clean, and secondly to effectively prevent diseases.

Like everyone else, the old primitive people were all shocked when they heard for the first time that they had to take a bath in the cold season.

However, after coming out of the bathhouse of the Green Bird Tribe with red faces, they felt relaxed all over. They were no longer afraid of taking a bath in winter, and they even liked it. They wanted to stay in it and never come out. Especially those who experienced the steam room personally, their faces were full of joy and novelty.

All those who had taken a bath put on the clothes of the Qingque tribe, and those who did not get clothes wrapped their bodies in nitrated leather.

As for the furs they were wearing, they were all thrown into a large vat and boiled in boiling water. The lice and other things hidden in the furs were all killed at once...

"We're going to make hot pot tomorrow. We'll cut the mutton into thin, transparent slices. We'll use chopsticks to pick it up and swish it back and forth in the pot. It'll be so delicious when we take it out and put it in our mouths..."

"Gudong!"

The old primitive man swallowed a mouthful of saliva. The determination to leave the Green Bird tribe that he had finally mustered was once again shattered as he swallowed the saliva.

Or... how about... eating this hotpot before leaving?

Looking at the reactions of the old primitive man and the others, Han Cheng lowered his head slightly with a smile in his eyes. Junior Brother Sha's trick was indeed useful.

Today is the third day that the old primitive man and his companions have come to the Qingque tribe. After seeing the prosperity of the Qingque main tribe, the old primitive man proposed to take his people back to the tribe and then return to the Tongshan residential area to work.

Han Cheng didn't want them to leave at this moment because winter had come, it was about to snow, and the winter sports games were about to begin.

He wanted these people to stay here for a while and leave after the Winter Games.

Because before this, the tribe had only shown them wealth and kindness. Now Han Cheng wanted to take this opportunity to show the old primitive people the strength of his tribe.

So, after Han Chengxiao imitated Junior Brother Sha's approach, the old primitive people and their companions once again embarked on a journey from which they could not escape.

In the following time, the people, represented by the old primitive people of the Wind Tribe, experienced this kind of struggle of pain and joy every day...

Winter has really arrived. A cold wind whistled past, dark clouds covered the sky, and heavy snow fell. The snowflakes hit the window paper, making a rustling sound. Overnight, the whole world changed color. White became the main color, dominating the world.

When the snowflakes fell, the old primitive man once again felt a deep sense of regret. He should have resisted the temptation of delicious food and left here a few days ago.

Although Shitou and the others said that there were ways to walk in the snow and not get frostbite, they still couldn't help but worry when they saw the heavy snow falling, because the wind and snow in the past had left too many deep impressions on them.

However, the old primitive man's regretful mood did not last long and was replaced by new surprises.

At the beginning, when the old primitive people saw the people of the Green Bird tribe taking firewood and putting it under their sleeping materials and lighting a fire, they were very panicked with their eyes wide open.

After learning from the person who lit the fire that they were going to sleep on it, the panic in the hearts of the old primitive people reached its peak.

Light a fire under the sleeping things, and then let yourself and others sleep on it. This... no matter how you look at it, it looks like he wants to roast and eat you and others!

If the kind Son of God had not come and said that it would be very comfortable to sleep on it after lighting a fire and that they would no longer have to worry about the severe cold, and that there would be no danger to their lives, the old primitive man would never have lay down on it.

It was indeed very comfortable to lie on it, and the body was warm, but as soon as the thought of the firewood burning below came to mind, the old primitive man immediately became uneasy. He dared not open his eyes while lying on the kang with the fire, for fear that he would be roasted if he fell asleep. He lay on it with his body tense, ready to jump up and run away immediately if something went wrong...

The old primitive man, with a highly nervous expression, finally couldn't resist falling asleep. Firstly, he had no habit of staying up late, and secondly, the kang was so warm with the fire burning on it that it was too comfortable to sleep on.

Although he tried his best to tell himself not to fall asleep, this warning was no different from when facing delicious food. He fell asleep while telling himself so much, and slept until dawn!

After getting up in the morning, the old primitive man lay on the kang, stretched a few times, and immediately felt refreshed all over.

After feeling comfortable like this for a while, he suddenly remembered the fire under the kang. He shuddered all over, jumped up from the kang, and looked at himself fiercely.

This action caught the eyes of some people who had already woken up, causing a burst of laughter.

The old primitive man was in no mood to laugh; his expression became extremely excited.

Because he thought of their tribe through this kang.

If our tribe had such comfortable things to sleep on, so many people wouldn’t have frozen to death in the tribe before!

The old primitive man thought so, reached out and touched the still warm earthen kang, his expression becoming more and more excited.

After this excitement lasted for a while, the old primitive man made up his mind!

His determination was that he wanted all the people in his tribe to join the kind Qingque tribe. In this way, in cold weather, everyone in the tribe could sleep on the warm earthen kang without having to worry about anyone freezing to death.

Once you fall asleep, you can never wake up again!

“Boom boom boom…”

A series of muffled sounds were heard with each drop of the drumstick in the eldest brother's hand, rolling in the Qingque tribe like muffled thunder, shaking the whole area.

The first winter sports meeting of the Qingque tribe also kicked off with the drum sound that resounded through the heavens and the earth.

The sports meeting did not start immediately because before the sports meeting started, there was an equally important thing to do, which was to come to the Heroes Cemetery to offer sacrifices to the heroes of the Qingque tribe who died in defending their homeland.

The purpose of sacrifice is to remember the sacrifices made by the heroes for the tribe, to prevent the heroes from being disgraced, and to let people remember how the heroes in the tribe defended the tribe when the tribe was invaded!

The purpose of the sacrifice is to remember the heroic deeds of the heroes, so that when the tribe is invaded again, the people alive in the tribe can take up swords and guns to fight against the invading enemies and defend their homes like the heroes in the tribe! Instead of bowing their heads, handing over the tribe, and willingly being enslaved by other hostile tribes!

The most important affairs of a country are war and sacrifice. This is the meaning of sacrifice!

After washing up, Han Cheng tied a piece of solid linen cloth on his left arm. He stood in front of the monument with the words "The Green Bird Hero Lives Forever" inscribed on it, and looked at everyone solemnly.

The people of the Qingque tribe, who also had white cloth wrapped around their arms, stood here in silence with the same solemn expressions. Against the backdrop of the white snow all around them, they looked even more dignified.

"Buried here are the heroes of our tribe. They died defending our tribe. From now on, on the third day after the heavy snowfall every year, we will gather here to pay tribute to our heroes, remember their deeds, and remember what we, the living ones, need to do when we encounter the enemy!

After the sacrifice, we will hold a sports meeting.

At the sports meeting, we had archery, wrestling, long-distance and short-distance running, and military coordinated charges.

We must let these heroes who died defending the tribe see clearly that the living people are not lazy and are not cowardly!

We have become stronger. When enemies want to harm our tribe, we who are still alive will take up arms like them to defend the home we built ourselves!"

Han Cheng spoke in a low voice to the crowd, and as he spoke, his voice gradually became more excited.

"The Green Bird hero will live forever!"

Han Cheng looked at the crowd and cheered.

"The Green Bird hero will live forever!"

The excited people of the Qingque tribe cheered together, and many arms were raised at the same time. A forest of arms rose up here, and the mixed roars spread to the surroundings, which was more shocking than the drum sounds before.

Many of the old primitive people who were watching the ceremony behind the crowd did not fully understand the meaning of what Han Cheng said, but just what they understood was enough to make their blood boil, because before the sacrifice even began, they already knew what the Qingque tribe was going to do today.

Infected by the atmosphere at this time, many of them couldn't help but clench their fists and raise their arms, shouting with the people of the Qingque tribe: "Qingque heroes, live forever!"

"A moment of silence for the tribal hero!"

Han Cheng stretched out his hand to stop the crowd from shouting, then picked up a flower made of paper and placed it respectfully in front of the hero's monument. After bowing three times, he spoke to everyone.

As his voice sounded, everyone followed his example and bowed slightly in silence, and the old primitive people were no exception...

(Book friends, happy Chinese Valentine's Day, haha)
