The witch sat on the donkey cart, feeling the scenery on both sides slowly moving backwards. He looked at the tribe getting farther and farther away in his field of vision, and the people standing in front of the tribe to see them off gradually getting smaller. He no longer felt the worry he had before.
At this moment, he felt very calm.
What the Son of God said was absolutely right. He and others really needed to give the younger people in the tribe some opportunities to be independent, to let them gain experience and to grow.
Only when they grow up and there are more and more people in the tribe who can take on responsibilities, will the tribe become more prosperous.
It is not terrible to do poorly or make some small mistakes now, because the Son of God and I are there to back you up, so no matter how bad it is, it can't be that bad.
If I don't train the people in the tribe now, then when the time comes, once there are no more of us...
Of course, the main thing is that if I am gone, can Shitou be a good enough to be the next wizard? After all, the Son of God is still very young, not much older than Shitou.
It seems that when the tribe performs sacrifices in the future, I should let Shitou personally perform the sacrifices with me.
While riding in a donkey cart along the Bronze Highway heading west, Wu secretly made this decision in his heart.
The donkey cart moved forward. As it got farther and farther away from the tribe, the scenery on both sides became new and novel to Wu, Yuan and the other eight people who were coming here for the first time. They had left the familiar place and were walking in an unfamiliar place, looking at everything with a sense of novelty.
Wu had never been on such a long journey before. As far as he could remember, the farthest journey he had ever taken was when he and his eldest brother went to a place far away from the tribe and picked up the Son of God who had fallen from the sky from the wild.
At this time, he put his worries aside and sat in the donkey cart along the Bronze Highway. He was particularly happy. This was a feeling he had never experienced before.
Especially when he thought that this was also the place of their Qingque tribe, he felt so happy.
Han Cheng sometimes rode in a donkey cart, but more often he walked because he felt that riding in a donkey cart was less comfortable than walking.
Of course, this is without getting tired.
Little Pea was so excited as it was his first time experiencing such a scene that he ran around Han Cheng with his short legs, shouting excitedly.
When he was tired of running, he would ride on the panda Tuan Tuan and let the panda Tuan Tuan carry him, and he would continue to shout and scream there.
After Wu and Yuan had been riding the donkey cart for a while, they would get off and walk along the cart for a while to stretch their legs.
Little Xing'er, who was held in Sister Bai Xue's arms, stared up at the sky with her dark eyes.
Whether it is the white clouds floating in the sky or the birds flying across the sky, they can all attract her attention.
Fu Jiang followed Han Cheng and walked forward, carrying the three squirrels on his back, not sure whether he thought it was a pine tree or his mother.
All in all, this is a very strange team. There are people, donkeys, deer, dogs, pandas, and three squirrels in the team.
In the early summer breeze, the team moved forward. Han Cheng turned his head to look at Wu who was sitting side by side with Yuan on the donkey cart, Bai Xuemei who was holding Xiao Xing'er in another donkey cart, and his son who was riding a panda beside him. He couldn't help but smile, with joy coming out from his heart.
This is the right way to relax! Take a leisurely walk with the people you care about, without worrying about someone always taking you to places where you need to spend money, tricking you into buying fake goods, and making all kinds of sarcastic verbal attacks on you if you don't buy.
I went out to relax, but it turned out to be a mess...
In the evening, the group arrived at the newly built Tongfu Inn, put down their belongings, and unloaded the deer and donkeys from the cart.
Some people went to prepare meals, while others went to feed the animals.
Wu Ze looked around the courtyard, unable to conceal the joy on his face.
This is also their tribal place and something that belongs to their tribe.
Even in a place so far away from the tribe, there are things belonging to the tribe!
After seeing Tongfu Inn, Wu really wanted to visit the Tongshan residential area.
The newly built Tongfu Inn is of such a scale and style. I really wonder what the Tongshan residential area, which has been run by the tribe for so many years and has so many permanent residents, looks like.
Hearing others talk about it is never as good as seeing it with your own eyes.
At this moment, Wu felt very regretful that he had not come out for a walk until now.
Fortunately, the Son of God pulled me out. Otherwise, if I waited until I was old and died, and did not leave the main tribe to come and see these things that belonged to the tribe, it would be a real pity.
Because of the arrival of Han Cheng and others, the Tongfu Inn, which had originally seemed deserted, suddenly became lively and full of people.
As night fell, everyone went to rest. The wind blew, and the sound of pine waves could be heard all around. The intermittent sound of copper bells rang out from time to time in the night, together decorating the night.
This was the sound made by the donkeys and deer with copper bells tied around their necks, either ruminating or walking, making the whole night even quieter.
The next morning, everyone packed up and left Tongfu Inn. After plugging the gate with branches, they continued westward along the Bronze Highway.
While walking, Han Cheng looked back and saw the Tongfu Inn becoming empty again and gradually disappearing among the pine trees. Suddenly, some scenes from Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio came to his mind.
A deserted mountain, an ancient temple, a solitary lamp, a down-and-out scholar reading by the lamp, and in the middle of the night, a beautiful female demon appears...
It's exciting just thinking about it.
However, Han Cheng felt that such a thing could not be achieved. Not to mention the question of whether spirits could be created in prehistoric times, the mere fact that fairies could transform into human form was enough to give people a headache.
It is said that the transformation of fairies into human form also requires certain reference objects, such as the rabbit spirit in "The Legend of the New White Snake".
If that's the case, the beautiful female fairy probably looks similar to Zhuang, Ruhua and the others...
This is really exciting...
The sixty-mile journey was all flat road. They set out in the morning, and when the sun was still setting in the afternoon, Han Cheng and his party came from Tongfu Inn to Longmen Inn which was under construction.
Seeing Han Cheng and his group, the people who stayed here were naturally very happy. Especially when they saw a witch in the team who was traveling so far for the first time, they were extremely happy.
They spent so much energy to build these things, and of course they hope that more people in the tribe can see and use them.
At night, several bonfires were lit at the Longmen Inn, where many stones that would be used to build the bridge were placed.
A few unfortunate wild ducks were skewered on tree branches and roasted, sizzling with oil, and the fish soup simmering in a large vat exuded an aromatic aroma.
This place is close to the river. A short distance north is Wild Duck Lake, the largest lake Han Cheng saw after arriving here.
With so many rivers and lakes, fish are of course indispensable. When building bridges and the Longmen Inn here these days, people in the tribe put some fish cages they brought with them into the water to catch fish.
When Han Cheng and his team came this time, they also brought a large number of unused fish cages from the main tribe.
These will be lowered into rivers and lakes to catch fish later.
With the support of these fish, we can save a lot of food when building bridges nearby.
The fish here were not caught last year, mainly because when the road was built last year, the old primitive people had not yet joined the Greenbird Tribe.
Moreover, the old primitive people and the road construction team of the Green Bird Tribe headed by Gu basically completed the handover here. Under such circumstances, Gu and his team certainly could not take out the fish cage to catch fish.
After all, a fish cage is not a particularly complicated thing. If others see how to catch fish with it, it will be easy for them to imitate it.
If the old primitive people saw and learned this at that time, it would not be easy for the Feng Tribe and the neighboring Feng Tribe to join their tribe.
Now they have all joined the Qingque tribe, drunk the Qingque wine, and are members of the tribe. Of course, there are no such taboos.
The dinner was a bit like a party and ended later than usual. The main reason was that the old men in Wu's tribe left the tribe and came here.
People in the tribe respect witches very much.
Although the role that the witch can play in the tribe has become smaller and smaller since the birth of the Son of God, the people in the tribe have never diminished their respect for this old man.
This is partly because the most respected Son of God in the tribe has great respect for the witch.
Since the Son of God behaves like this, the rest of the people naturally dare not disrespect him.
On the other hand, the witch's love for the tribe can be felt by everyone in the tribe, and the witch is also very decisive. On weekdays, when the Son of God is around, he seems lazy, but at critical moments, especially when the Son of God is not in the tribe, the witch can take charge of things.
He is a truly responsible person.
The bonfire went out and everyone began to rest.
Wu lay in the makeshift camp, with his head sticking out, looking at the starry sky with his eyes open.
There were insects buzzing all around, and in the darkness not far away, the occasional sound of a fish cutting through the water could be heard.
After watching quietly for a long time, Wu, who had a smile on his face, slowly fell asleep...
The next morning, Wu and Han Cheng went together to collect the fish cages that had been lowered into the river last night.
"There are fish! There are fish!"
Wu reached out and pulled a rope tied to the shore, and then slowly pulled it towards the shore. As the fish cage was pulled, the fish inside the cage began to swim restlessly, and even the rope on the cage was pulled and moved.
Feeling this, the witch shouted excitedly, and then increased the strength in his hands.
After a few tries, the fish cage that had sunk into the water was pulled out of the water by Wu. The fish in the cage was jumping hard, trying to break free from the cage and return to the water to enjoy sex again.
It's a pity that such a thing will never happen.
"Ha ha……"
Wu didn't ask for help from others. He lifted the fish cage up by himself, walked a few steps toward the shore, and when he was a certain distance away from the water, he turned the fish cage over and poured out everything inside.
For a moment, there was a lively scene here.
In addition to seven or eight fish of different sizes, there were also translucent shrimps that were lying on their sides on the ground, hunched over and jumping hard.
There were also two yellow eels, two old turtles the size of a palm, and a toad covered with bumps.
The harvest from this fish cage was extremely bountiful.
Looking at this scene, Wu was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. Like a little child, he picked up these things together with some minors who followed him. The joy after the harvest was beyond words!
The empty fish cage was put back into the water and the rest of the fish cages were collected.
As everyone moved, the fish cages that had stayed in the water all night were pulled out one by one, and the full harvest was packed into fish baskets with big bellies and small mouths.
These fish and shrimps are enough for the people who are building bridges and houses here to eat today.
The witch was very excited, and most of the people who followed him were also very excited, because ever since the number of fish and shrimp in the small river in front of the tribe had decreased, they had not gotten such a big harvest from the river at one time for a long time!
Han Cheng was also excited, but after the excitement he felt a little helpless.
Because he found that as the Bronze Highway was gradually improved, with the Wild Duck Lake close to the Bronze Highway and many large and small rivers around the lake, the fish pond next to the Green Bird main tribe suddenly became useless.
However, this somewhat hypocritical helplessness only existed for a moment before disappearing without a trace, and was completely replaced by joy.
Such a lake and the rivers surrounding it are worth a lot of land!
If the tribe really encounters a disaster that causes a serious shortage of food, they can rely solely on these lakes and rivers to overcome the disaster!
After dealing with the morning's harvest, Han Cheng, Bai Xuemei, Wu, Yuan and others left the Longmen Inn which was under construction and headed north.
They were heading to Wild Duck Lake in the north.
"Flutter~"
“Ga ga ga~!”
The arrival of the crowd startled many wild ducks and other water birds living here.
There was a sound of flapping wings, and many wild ducks flew up like a dark cloud rising into the sky.
After flying for a distance, it landed in the water at a certain distance from the shore. Looking at the group of uninvited guests on the shore, it quacked and flapped its wings. Some of them dived into the water, and after a while, they emerged from the water from somewhere else.
Wu stared at the vast expanse of water in front of him with his eyes wide open, unable to utter a word for a long time.
Not only Wu, but everyone who saw Wild Duck Lake for the first time couldn't help but widen their eyes.
Because the scene I saw before my eyes was so shocking!
They had never seen such a vast expanse of water that stretched as far as the eye could see!
Before seeing Wild Duck Lake, they had never thought about where so much water could gather together.
Even Bai Xuemei, the child bride who originally lived in the Fire Tribe and was brought back by Han Cheng along the river, was not calm at all at this time.
No matter how much water there is in a river or how long the river is, its width is ultimately limited, and there will never be a scene as endless as the one before us!
"How many fish should be in here! How many fish should be in here!"
The witch was shocked for a while, looked at the vast water area and began to mutter to himself. Han Cheng couldn't hear it clearly at first, but when he got closer, he could hear clearly what the witch was muttering.
Wu was indeed a qualified primitive man. After seeing this large area of water, the first thing he thought of was how many fish he could catch for the tribe. He was not like Han Cheng, who was shocked by the scenery in front of him. After appreciating the beautiful scenery, he associated it with food.
"Eggs! Eggs! Wild duck eggs!"
While everyone was marveling at the scenery or the many fish living in the blue water, a minor shouted in surprise, holding high in his hands two wild duck eggs with green skin and some pockmarks, and jumped for joy.
The shouting broke the shocked state of the crowd, and many people began to use the sticks in their hands to push aside the grass on the side, hoping to find surprises in it.
Han Cheng took Xiao Xing'er from Bai Xuemei's arms, and Bai Xuemei and Little Wandou immediately joined the activity of searching for wild duck eggs.
Although she is already the mother of two children, she is still as happy as a child who has not grown up.
He looked like a southerner seeing snow for the first time.
Han Cheng followed behind with Xiao Xing'er in his arms, talking to his daughter in words he didn't even understand, his face full of smiles.
Although neither the father nor the daughter understood what the other was saying, and they didn't even know what they were saying, it was undeniable that the communication between them was very pleasant.
"Wu, shall we go to the island inside and take a look?"
In the afternoon, sitting by the lake, eating some roasted wild duck eggs and some grilled fish, Han Cheng looked at an island in the Wild Duck Lake and said.
This island is not too far from the south side of the lake. Han Cheng estimated that it is less than two miles away.
Looking from afar, the side facing Han Cheng and his team was mostly rocky, with trees behind the rocks, and birds would occasionally take off into the sky.
Han Cheng and his team had discovered this island when they were surveying the terrain last year, but they never went there because they were in a hurry.
Now that he has more free time, Han Cheng has the urge to go up there and take a look.
Wu naturally agreed to such a proposal, because now he regarded Wild Duck Lake as the private property of his tribe.
Since it belongs to his own tribe, it is naturally necessary to understand it well. This is just like when he was in the tribe, he always liked to measure the land in the tribe with his footsteps.
This is a mentality similar to that of a wealthy landlord.
After making this decision, Han Cheng, Wu and the others turned back. After all, it was impossible to swim across such a long distance, so they needed to build a boat or a raft first.
After returning, Han Cheng asked the people who were building the houses to stop temporarily, come to the lake, and cut down trees from the surrounding area to build a raft.
The reason why it is a raft instead of a canoe is because the requirements for a raft are relatively low and it is easier to make than a canoe.
While these people started making the raft, Han Cheng was not idle either. He was also holding an axe and hammering away at it.
As he moved, pieces of wood as thick as bowls were tightly connected together with ropes.
This thing is the original life jacket made by Han Cheng.
Although it is simple, Han Cheng used very light wood such as paulownia, so the buoyancy is still very good.
After it was done, someone would wear it and go down into the waist-deep water, then curl up their legs and the whole person would float.
There is strength in numbers, and after years of training, the people of the tribe have made great improvements in many things. So after a day, four large rafts appeared here.
Each raft is more than two meters wide and more than three meters long. There are fences built with thinner wood around the rafts to prevent people from falling into the water to the greatest extent.
There was a tree stick erected on each side, front and back, with oars hung diagonally on them.
Because the raft was large, it was extremely heavy and several people were unable to lift it. Brother Sha and his friends, whose necks and faces were red from holding their breath, prepared to call more people to the raft.
Six more people joined in and just after they lifted it up, Han Cheng stopped the action of adding more people.
Instead, they asked people to find the remaining logs from making the raft, and placed one log at intervals of about 1.5 meters, stretching from the raft to the edge of the lake.
At the same time, someone used a wooden bar to pry up the front end of the raft and separate two logs.
After doing all this, call people to push and pull the raft.
The raft, which was originally very heavy, suddenly became much lighter, and slid into the lake with the push and pull of everyone.
After the raft entered the water, many people here couldn't help but cheer.
Their Son of God once again used his wisdom to solve the problem!
At the same time, they also learned a way to solve problems from the wise Son of God.
After the first successful experience, it became easy to launch the remaining three rafts. Using the same method, they were in the water soon.
After the raft entered the water, it did not slide directly into the depths of Wild Duck Lake. Instead, it first conducted experiments in the shallow water area to confirm that the raft was easy to use and there were no safety hazards before it began its official voyage.
Han Cheng screened the first wave of people who were heading to the island in the lake on rafts.
The elderly, children, people who are not strong enough, or people who have no experience of riding bamboo rafts or wooden rafts on water were not taken with them.
Moreover, a number of weapons such as rattan shields, bows and arrows, and bronze spears were placed on the raft.
After all, they had never been to the island in the lake before, and they had no idea what was there, so they must bring weapons with them.
In addition to these weapons and primitive life jackets, the raft also contained a number of large split wooden boards and several rolls of hemp rope.
These two things are also prepared for people who accidentally fall into the water.
Once someone falls into the water, a wooden board will be thrown over to them for them to hold on to, and then a hemp rope with a small piece of wood tied to one end will be thrown over to pull them over.
