After the site of the former Wild Duck Inn, now the Dragon Gate Inn, was selected and cleaned up, Han Cheng and another group of people, along with some dogs and deer, returned to the tribe along the road.
The reason for this trip back was, on the one hand, that the road construction team and the construction team did not carry enough food and needed to go back to bring some food; on the other hand, Han Cheng planned to bring Wu, Bai Xuemei, Xiao Xing'er and others to visit the Longmen Inn.
Last year, we said we would bring you here for a tour. Now more than half of the Bronze Expressway has been completed. It's time to fulfill this promise.
We set out from Longmen Inn in the morning, arrived at Tongfu Inn to rest in the evening, and set out from Tongfu Inn early the next morning. When the red sun was setting in the west, the tall walls of the Qingque main tribe were already in sight.
When the returnees meet those who are looking forward to their return, they are very happy, with a sense of familiarity and some freshness.
Everyone gathered together, with endless things to talk about, and joy filled the entire tribe.
Especially the three little squirrels who liked to squat on Fu Jiang or jump on Han Cheng, one squatting on his head and the other two squatting on his shoulders. The children in the tribe were very curious and wanted to get close to them...
Han Cheng swore that these were the only two reasons for his return to the tribe, without any other selfish thoughts.
As for the fact that she had to hold her waist while walking the next morning, that could only be blamed on Bai Xuemei, the child bride. It really had nothing to do with him, and he really didn't think about it in that regard.
"real?!"
When we returned to the tribe yesterday, it was almost dark. There were so many things to do and we were too busy, so until this time, Han Cheng finally had time to tell Bai Xue that in two days we would take a donkey cart along the Bronze Highway to visit Longmen Inn.
After hearing the news, Bai Xuemei was so excited that she almost jumped up from the ground. She reached out and grabbed Han Cheng's arm, her face full of surprise.
"Of course it's true."
Han Cheng smiled and nodded, then reached out and tapped Bai Xue's head.
After getting a positive answer, Bai Xuemei hugged Han Cheng's arm and jumped for joy.
Ever since she had Little Pea and Han Xing, she has never traveled far away.
I have been looking forward to Han Cheng's plan for a long time to take a donkey cart along the newly built Bronze Expressway to the Tongshan residential area for fun.
Originally according to her calculations, this matter would have to wait until after the autumn harvest this year before it could be carried out, but she didn't expect her brother to bring it up at this time. How could she not be surprised?
If she hadn't seen Brother Cheng holding his waist with one hand, Sister Bai Xue would have wanted to pull Brother Cheng back into the house.
"Son of God, I won't go..."
Wu, who had also heard the news from Han Cheng, spoke with some entanglement and hesitation.
As the witch gets older, he becomes more attached to his tribe.
On the one hand, he wanted to leave the tribe and go along the Bronze Highway with the Son of God and the others, but on the other hand, he was reluctant to leave the tribe where he had lived all his life.
He was a little worried that after he and the Son of God left, the tribe would be out of control and problems would arise.
This is probably the mentality that many elderly people who have lived in one place all their lives will have.
"It's okay. After we leave, our eldest brother and the other people in the tribe will take good care of the tribe because this is the home we live in and build together."
Han Cheng said to Wu with a smile, and then said: "Bronze Highway, Tongfu Inn, Longmen Posthouse, Wild Duck Lake, Tongshan Residential Area are all places in our tribe. Wu, don't you want to go and take a look?"
To be honest, Han Cheng really wanted Wu to go with him this time. After all, Wu was still a little old. Unlike people like them, there would be plenty of opportunities to do many things in the future if he didn't do them, but Wu was not so good at it.
If you don't handle it well, some things will be missed and will become a lifelong regret.
So he really hoped that Wu could take a trip to see the scenery in the distance and see the place in the distance that belongs to their Qingque tribe.
What Han Cheng said later touched Wu's heart and made him no longer hesitate.
Yes, he had never been to the Tongshan residential area! This was an opportunity, and he should definitely go and take a look at the things in the distance that belong to their Qingque tribe.
This time, as they were traveling, there were not many people, only eight, except for those who had followed Han Cheng back to the tribe and transported food there, as well as Wu, Han Cheng's family, and Yuan.
There are many people in the tribe who have not traveled to the Tongshan residential area along the Bronze Highway, nearly half of the people. Such a small number of places naturally cannot meet people's needs.
But Han Cheng couldn't take more.
Although it is the slack season now, we still need a lot of people to weed the fields.
Now that so many people have been drawn out to do other things, if more people are drawn out, the grain production in the fields will definitely be affected.
"Son of God, tell them directly and let them work hard in the tribe."
The witch was still as domineering as ever, and as he said this, he prepared to go out and tell the people in the tribe about this.
"Wu, wait a moment."
Han Cheng stopped Wu with a smile.
It is normal for people in the tribe to want to go outside and take a look. After all, I fooled the people in the tribe in this way when I was building the road.
At this time, he told them directly that they could not go yet and needed to work in the tribe. Those who wanted to go had to wait for the next batch. They would naturally obey, but from a logical point of view, Han Cheng always felt that it was a bit too direct and not very good.
So he was going to personally tell the people in the tribe about this matter...
"Do you want to take a donkey cart to the Tongshan residential area?"
After gathering the remaining people in the tribe together, Han Cheng asked them loudly with a smile.
"think!"
These people spoke in unison, with excitement and anticipation on their faces.
Many people want to take a donkey cart with food and go along the newly built Bronze Highway to the Tongshan residential area to see the bare Tongshan Mountain and the beautifully colored pool on top of it, especially with the Son of God and the witch.
When Han Cheng asked this at this time, they of course agreed very readily.
"Think? No way! If everyone goes, there will be so much work to do in the tribe, what should we do?"
Han Cheng said to them with a smile.
The crowd, who were in high spirits, were stunned when they heard the words, and then someone started to chuckle.
After spending such a long time together, many of the people in the tribe have become accustomed to Han Cheng's way of speaking, which sometimes includes a little humor, and generally will not take things seriously.
"It's not that this time, except for us, no one else can go, but not everyone can go. If you want to go together, you need to meet certain conditions."
Han Cheng raised his voice and spoke loudly to everyone.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was immediately attracted, stretching their necks and pricking up their ears, waiting for the Son of God to state this condition.
Some people even rolled up their sleeves, mentally prepared to work hard.
"I'm not asking you to do any work. It's just a simple matter. I'll tell you a riddle. Whoever guesses the correct answer can go with us tomorrow.
If you can't guess it, then just work honestly in the tribe and wait until next time."
"Son of God, what is the riddle?"
Someone asked about it immediately, they had never heard of riddles before.
"I said the last sentence, and you guess what I said based on this sentence."
Han Cheng explained this to everyone.
With this said, everyone basically understood everything.
Wu, Shitou and Yuan, who were known for their wisdom, became excited immediately after they understood Han Cheng's meaning.
This time, Wu and Yuan decided to go out together in a donkey cart.
Shitou had been to the Tongshan residential area before, and lived on the road for more than half a year when he followed the old primitive people to build the Bronze Highway. Shitou was very familiar with the places these people wanted to go, and he was not as excited as those people in the tribe who had never been there.
And it has been determined that Shitou will not go with them this time, but will need to stay to assist the eldest brother in managing the tribe.
However, this did not prevent them from being interested in what Han Cheng said, which sounded very interesting.
In the meantime, Wu was looking forward to it but also a little worried, fearing that the riddle Han Cheng told was too easy to solve.
If all the people in the tribe guessed it and followed along, then wouldn't there be no one to do many things in the tribe?
Han Cheng had no such worries. Since he dared to say such things, he was confident that he could kill everyone in the tribe in seconds.
"Listen carefully, the riddle is this: a square head, a flat mouth, an eye in the waist, and a leg in the eye."
After Han Cheng reminded everyone, he told the riddle.
Worried that some people might not have heard clearly, after he finished speaking once, he deliberately slowed down his speech and said it three times in a row before stopping and looking at everyone with a smile on his face.
Those who were very excited at first and ready to show their skills were suddenly confused. Not only them, but even Wu, Yuan, Shitou and other people with higher IQ in the tribe were confused.
What is this?
Why does this thing look so strange? It has a square head and a flat mouth. The key point is that there is an eye in its waist and a leg inside the eye. What the hell is going on?
What could look so weird?
As Han Cheng finished his words, the place suddenly became quiet. Everyone was thinking hard, trying to guess the riddle posed by the Son of God as quickly as possible.
Even if I didn't take a donkey cart to the Tongshan residential area, it would be very good to be able to guess the riddle posed by the Son of God in front of so many people.
However, the riddle was so tricky that no matter how hard they racked their brains, they could not imagine anything that looked like this.
The scene suddenly became extremely quiet, and everyone who was ready to show off their skills was completely stumped by Han Cheng's riddle.
At first, Wu was worried that Han Cheng's words were too easy and would be guessed by too many people. So he curled up his fingers and tapped his head again and again.
"Son of God, is there really such a thing?"
After thinking for a long time without any clue, someone finally asked.
As soon as this voice came out, the rest of the people all looked up at their Son of God. Now they were all doubting whether such a thing actually existed.
"Yes! Since I've solved it for you, it must be true. If you can guess the riddle right as soon as it's revealed, then it's not even a riddle."
Han Cheng looked at everyone in the tribe and said with a smile.
"Have we ever seen anything like this?"
Shitou raised his hand and asked.
"Yes, not only you, but everyone in the tribe has seen it."
Han Cheng replied affirmatively once again.
Then he thought for a moment and said, "Since you can't guess it, I'll narrow it down for you. We have this thing in our tribe."
After these words were spoken, everyone in the tribe became more confused.
Have you and others seen it? Is there one in the tribe?
Have you and others seen such strange things? Why don't you know about it?
Everyone was confused.
"Take your time to guess. Don't be in a hurry. The deadline is tomorrow morning.
During this time, if anyone guesses the answer to the riddle, come to me and tell me the answer you guessed. If you guessed it right, you can go with Wu tomorrow."
After waiting here for a while, seeing that everyone was still thinking hard, Han Cheng spoke out loud.
Then he continued, "Guessing riddles should not interfere with work. You should all go do what you need to do first, and guess while you work. Discussions are allowed.
Anyway, it’s still early and the deadline is tomorrow morning.”
So everyone dispersed, but compared with before, the people in the tribe seemed a little absent-minded today.
Now, it doesn’t matter whether they go to Wild Duck Lake or Tongshan Residential Area or not. Their attention has shifted to this riddle. They just want to guess the riddle. If they can’t guess it themselves, it’s fine to know the answer from others!
"A square head, a flat mouth, an eye in the waist, and legs in the eye. I have seen it myself, and there are also some in the tribe..."
Tietou, who was cutting grass with a sickle, repeated the riddle again. After some thought, he still had no clue. His mind was in a mess and he felt very uncomfortable.
"What is this? What on earth is this?!"
After guessing for a while and still getting no result, Tietou banged his forehead against the tree again and again, while giving voice to his soul.
A good person was tortured into this state by this riddle...
Tietou was not the only one tormented by the riddle; the others were also tormented by it.
"It's out, it's out! What do you think? Is my guess right?"
When Shi Tou came out of Han Cheng's room, those who were busy in the yard immediately surrounded him and asked him expectantly.
These are the people who have given up guessing and went to the Tongshan residential area to play together, just wanting to know the answer.
"No, I guessed wrong."
Shitou smiled bitterly and said to them.
"Alas~"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a burst of sighs all around.
"Son of God, what is the answer? What on earth is that strange-looking thing?"
During dinner in the evening, someone couldn't help but ask, and the others also looked up at Han Cheng, wanting to know the result.
"Don't tell me yet. It's not time yet. If I tell you now, how can you guess?"
"Don't be discouraged. It's still early. You still have time. Take your time to guess."
A certain unscrupulous son of God encouraged everyone in this way.
That night, many people suffered from insomnia, and their Son of God, after doing some unspeakable things, lay on the bed and snored loudly, looking like he really deserved a beating.
So this is it!
Bai Xuemei was lying on the kang, thinking about something. When she matched the riddles with those that Han Cheng had solved before, she felt more enlightened and annoyed.
Of course, this answer was not something she guessed herself, but something she got from Han Cheng not long ago.
Han Cheng was not going to tell Bai Xuemei the answer at first, but he could not resist Bai Xuemei's powerful display.
Han Cheng, who was defeated and just wanted to sleep, had no choice but to surrender...
The next morning, Han Cheng got up and stretched hard. He felt refreshed and especially comfortable.
But in the entire tribe, the only ones who felt this way were probably him and his sister Bai Xue, as well as those ignorant children.
The rest of the people looked listless, with red eyes, and many of them even had dark circles under their eyes.
"Son of God, what on earth is this?"
As soon as Han Cheng walked out of the door, someone asked him. Han Cheng looked in the direction of the voice and was startled, because there were many people gathered outside the house where he lived early in the morning, and it seemed that these people had been waiting here for some time.
Han Cheng sniffed and saw that they were all tormented by his riddle!
"Have you come up with an answer? If you have, tell me the answer right away, otherwise it will be invalid by the time I tell you the answer."
Han Cheng looked at everyone and asked, and a few people actually spoke, but their answers were all wrong.
"Then I'll tell you the answer, right?"
After no one guessed the answer, Han Cheng asked this question.
Everyone nodded their heads like chicks pecking at rice. They really wanted to know the answer quickly.
"Did I really say that?"
Amidst everyone's great anticipation, Han Cheng asked again.
It was thanks to him that this happened. If anyone else dared to keep testing the limits of his own life, he would surely be drowned by the angry soles of his shoes.
"This thing is——"
Han Cheng raised his voice and drew out his words, which whetted people's appetite. (Will I get beaten if I end this chapter here?)
"ax!"
Amid everyone's great anticipation, Han Cheng finally spoke out the answer loudly.
ax?
How could it be an axe?
After hearing this answer, many people in the tribe were confused. How could this be an axe?
But then, combining the riddle Han Cheng told me with the shape of the axe, it turned out to be an axe!
"Alas~"
After the answer to the riddle was announced and people figured it out, many people sighed in sudden enlightenment and regret.
Especially Bo, the first carpenter of the Qingque tribe, was regretting it so much. He was swinging an axe every day, so why didn’t he think of it?
"There's an eye in the waist and legs in the eye. It's really like that!"
Wu, whose hair was already sparse and now became even thinner, muttered to himself while touching his head.
But before the Son of God gave the answer, no one had thought that this 'eye' was actually the eye of the axe, and the leg was the axe handle!
This is really too hard to guess!
Hard to guess? I didn't even add a sentence when I gave the hint: This thing can cure diseases, especially migraines! If I had added such a hint, you would have found it even harder to guess.
An axe can cure diseases, and what it can cure is migraine. This is certainly not nonsense from Han Cheng, but has a basis in fact.
It is said in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that Cao Cao had a severe headache and heard that Hua Tuo was a skilled doctor who could bring people back to health. So he invited Hua Tuo to treat him. After Hua Tuo examined him, he said to Cao Cao, "This is an easy task."
Cao Cao's face was immediately filled with joy and anticipation.
Hua Tuo continued: "Just chop it off with a sharp axe..."
Cao Cao's face turned black instantly. He thought Hua Tuo wanted to murder him, so he had Hua Tuo locked up in a small dark room...
After being diverted by Han Cheng's riddles and severely abused, the people of the Qingque tribe no longer wanted to go to Wild Duck Lake and Tongshan residential area together this time.
This was not forced out by force, but was forced out by Han Cheng's use of riddles. The effect was surprisingly good, and it made people sincerely convinced.
This made Han Cheng discover a good way to deal with things. In the future, when he encountered similar things, he would give them riddles and let the people in the tribe guess them.
Han Cheng still has a lot of riddles in stock, such as "half green, half red", "guess a word", "mouth is not stupid", "don't guess Xing'er, if you guess it's Kun, you are not a good scholar", these riddles can make people in the tribe lose their hair...
After picking up Xiao Xing'er and handing her to Bai Xuemei who was sitting on the donkey cart covered with animal skins, Han Cheng looked at the sleepy people in the tribe and laughed in his heart...
“Let’s go!”
After the food, tools and other things were packed, Han Cheng gave a call and the tribes that were going out started to move.
Led by the green bird flag fluttering in the wind, the team slowly moved along the Bronze Highway.
"Take good care of the tribe, we will be back in a few days!"
Wu was sitting on another donkey cart covered with animal skins together with Yuan. He was still a little worried, so he gave instructions to his eldest brother, Shitou and others who were standing by the roadside to see him off.
After explaining for a while, I felt uneasy and actually wanted to get off the car and go back.
The car door is welded shut and you want to go back? How is that possible!
Han Cheng came over and said to Wu, "Wu, let's go. It's okay. We should give Shitou and the others some opportunities to gain some experience. It will be difficult for them to grow up just under our protection."
After saying this, the witch calmed down a lot. After thinking for a while, he sat back on the donkey cart with peace of mind.
