As the oars were rowed, the raft moved slowly on the water.

Little Pea, who was riding a raft on the water for the first time, shook his head in Han Cheng's arms and looked around with a look of curiosity.

But although it was new and novel, he was not afraid because his father held him in his arms.

A gentle lake breeze blew along the water, bringing bursts of coolness.

In the distance, on the wider lake, water birds were flapping their wings and flying. Sometimes they would suddenly fold their wings and rush down like an arrow, splashing water. When they flew up again, fish would rise into the sky with them.

Not far away, green-headed wild ducks swam forward with the raft, expressing their amazement at the monkeys that could swim in the water like them.

After swimming like this for a while, some wild ducks discovered some shortcomings of these diving monkeys, that is, they can only swim on the water surface but cannot dive into the water.

Then, one or two wild ducks began to dive into the water and then came out from somewhere else. Sometimes, some fish tails would appear in their mouths.

After showing off their special talents in front of the group of monkeys in the water, the one or two ducks flapped their wings in the water and quacked excitedly.

Junior brother Sha, who was on the same raft with Han Cheng, silently tied a thin rope to the tail of a feather arrow, tied the other end of the rope to the railing on the edge of the raft, then placed the feather arrow on the bowstring, pulled it open, and then let go of his hand, and the feather arrow with the rope flew out rapidly.

The wild duck that was flapping its wings happily let out a scream, struggled in the water a few times, and then fell silent.

While the other wild ducks were flying around in panic, the wild duck with a feather arrow piercing its body was pulled onto the raft by Junior Brother Sha using a rope.

It will soon become a roasted duck.

This incident taught everyone in the Green Bird Tribe a lesson: not only will the rafters who stick out get hit first, but also the wild ducks that like to show off their skills and get too close to the archers when showing off their skills will easily become roast ducks...

As the raft moved forward, lake water appeared on the raft from the gaps, forming small puddles that did not exceed the highest point of the raft. Occasionally, startled fish would jump out of the water and fall back into the water with splashes.

The raft moved slowly forward in the vast sea, and the novel experience of boating on the lake made everyone excited.

The only thing that makes people feel a little regretful is why the jumping fish did not land on the raft.

The raft moved forward, from the east side of the island to the north side, and stopped at the place where it first docked.

When the raft was about to reach the shore, someone standing at the front of the raft threw down a rope, and the people who had stayed on the island picked up the rope and pulled it tight, pulling the front of the raft tightly against the shore.

Most of the people in the tribe had never seen such a large beach. They got off the raft and walked barefoot on the clean beach, each of them extremely happy.

Looking at the blue sky, sunshine, and the vast lake, and then looking at the clean, large beach, Han Cheng suddenly felt that in the future, in addition to fishing, digging lotus roots and bird droppings on this island, he could also build a few pavilions here and put a few bamboo lounge chairs.

Barefoot and wearing linen shorts, when you get tired of walking by the water, you can lie down on a lounge chair, bask in the warm sunshine, take a nap, and when you wake up, watch the clouds in the sky...

You can't just think about this. As soon as you think about it, you'll feel so happy.

I can't wait to start implementing it now.

However, when Han Cheng's eyes fell on the beach farther away, and he saw the old turtle climb back onto the beach after he and others left and lie on the old turtle that was lazily basking in the sun, his face suddenly twitched.

Why, after seeing the state of these guys at this moment, Han Cheng felt that the wonderful life he had just drooled over was a bit like a curse on himself.

Sooner or later, you will catch these damn guys and stew them into soup one by one!

Han Dashenzi, who had scolded himself without realizing it, was looking at those old turtles who had nothing to do and always liked to come to the beach to sunbathe, and he felt very angry.

The beach is always a favorite playground for children.

In particular, Han Cheng filled a bowl with wet sand, patted it gently with his hands to make it firm, then turned it upside down on the beach, and gently took the bowl away, leaving an upside-down bowl made of wet sand in its place. The children who followed him immediately stayed on the beach and didn't want to leave.

Not only them, but some women who came with them were also attracted by this novel activity.

Upon seeing this, Han Cheng thought about it and asked several strong men who had been to the lotus pond and seen the guano to stay nearby with weapons to protect them. He and another group of people went to the west side and the middle of the island with Wu and the others to see the large area of ​​lotus roots, as well as the guano and guano stone that were extremely important to the tribe.

For the witch and most people in the tribe, food that can be eaten and things that are of great use to the tribe are far more important than having fun...

The lake breeze blew gently, blowing the vast expanse of green lotus leaves and branches swaying in the wind. The witch smiled like a toothless child.

The rest of the people from the Qingque tribe who saw the lotus root for the first time also laughed very happily, especially after hearing Han Cheng talk about the deliciousness of the lotus root and its high yield.

"Plant it somewhere in the tribe, plant it somewhere in the tribe..."

The witch was muttering there, and the others who heard it all nodded.

For the people of the Qingque tribe, they still subconsciously regard the Qingque main tribe where they have lived for a long time as their real tribe. When they come across good things, they always subconsciously want to bring them to the main tribe.

Only in this way can you feel at ease and feel that such things truly belong to your own tribe.

Han Cheng nodded on the side. He had originally planned to transplant the lotus roots to the main tribe. After all, there were many potholes around the main tribe over the years. If lotus roots were planted in all of them, he would be able to dig up a lot of lotus roots in winter.

Han Chengdu plans to plant lotus roots not only in the main tribe, but also in any suitable potholes along the entire Bronze Highway. He will not miss any suitable ones in the Tongshan residential area either.

Anyway, the present is different from later times. This era has a vast land and a sparse population. There are enough people in the main tribes to be able to handle the work, and large tracts of land can belong to their own tribe.

As for the possibility that there would be too many lotus roots to dig up in time, this was not even within Han Cheng's consideration.

Firstly, the lotus roots that grow under water can be dug up for a very long time, from summer to winter. Secondly, even if they cannot be dug up, it is very nice to just watch them grow there. When the time comes, you can walk along the Bronze Highway, smelling the fragrance of flowers all the way. It would be nice to create a hundred-mile lotus road.

After seeing the large lotus pond, Han Cheng took Wu and the others to see a forest that was covered with a thick layer of bird droppings and had a strong smell.

Then we went to the large amount of guano on the east side of the forest leading to the southern end of the island.

After seeing so much bird droppings, everyone in the tribe was so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.

With so much bird droppings, the food yield in the tribe will increase a lot.

After the visit, Wu's toothless mouth never closed, and he looked extremely energetic.

Everyone returned to the lotus pond, went down and got up more than 100 kilograms of lotus roots. After washing them with lake water, they returned to the beach.

Some people found dry firewood and built several bonfires on a beach.

A few stones were placed around the fire, and pottery jars brought from the ship were placed on top, and a simple stove was ready.

The freshly dug lotus root undoubtedly became the star of this meal.

After peeling, cut into dices about four centimeters long and one centimeter thick. Add the lotus root dices when the fresh fish soup or turtle soup in the jar is almost done.

There was no sliced ​​lotus root for cold dish, because we were camping this time, and we didn't bring enough seasoning, especially no vinegar, so the lotus root slices were not tasty.

When the bonfire was about to burn out, Han Cheng buried some lotus roots in the fire and burned them with dark red charcoal.

“Delicious! Delicious!”

After the fish and lotus root soup and turtle and lotus root soup, which were similar to some dark dishes, came out of the pot, everyone picked up the lotus roots in their bowls and put them into their mouths.

The fully cooked lotus root cubes are very soft to eat. When you bite into them, they will reveal many white silks, which tastes very good.

Everyone in the Qingque tribe ate lotus root for the first time and praised it as they ate.

Especially Wu, who had poor teeth, ate more because the lotus root was more to his taste.

Han Cheng, who was eating lotus root, was also happy because the quality of the lotus root here was better than he had imagined, it was actually flour lotus root.

“Try this.”

After finishing the rice in the bowl, Han Cheng dug up the dimming charcoal pile, revealing the blackened lotus root buried inside.

He also broke off a thinner and clean branch and pierced one of the lotus roots with it. It didn't take much effort to pierce it. The feeling on his hand told Han Cheng that the lotus roots had been cooked.

Immediately, all the lotus roots buried in the ashes were dug out.

拿起一截在地上轻轻的摔摔，将其表层覆盖着的灰震落一些之后，韩成将之递给了巫，示意巫将外面的那层皮子剥掉之后吃。

韩成自己也拿起了一截有些烫手的藕，开始剥烧的藕吃。

用火堆烧红薯、土豆、芋头、莲藕这类东西的时候，最好是快要停火的时候把火炭堆扒开放进去。

不然放得太早，很有可能会将被烧的东西给弄的碳化，整个或者是大部分都不能吃。

不过也不能放的太晚，太晚的话烧不熟。

韩成找来几张厚厚的绿色树叶折叠在一起，将这节烧手的莲藕下半部分包裹起来，拿在手里，开始从一端剥皮。

随着外面的那层被烧的有些硬的皮被揭开，封存在其中的一些热气一下子冒了出来。

将上半部的皮子揭开之后，韩成迫不及待的凑嘴边尝试一口，味道很不错，和煮熟的藕比起来更面。

小豌豆在一旁看得着急的点着脚，张着嘴，不住的叫爸爸。

不过韩成还是将手里的藕凑到了白雪妹身边，让白雪妹吃了两口之后，才将之给了小豌豆。

典型的父母才是真爱。

一旁的巫，还有其他的一些人，也学着韩成的样子，摘来大树叶子，将烧藕的一端用树叶包裹了，拿在手里剥着吃，一个个都是吃赞不绝口，特别是牙口不怎么好的人。

当众人将食物吃的差不不多的时候，太阳也逐渐西斜了，不时会有一群鸟从远处飞来，落于岛屿树林之内。

原本显得比较安静的岛屿上，顿时热闹的起来，一片的鸟叫之声。

此时，也到了需要离开岛屿的时候了。

来到岛上的人有些多，还是如同之前那样，分作两趟回去。

韩成没有第一波离去，而是坐在湖边的沙滩之上，瞭望着远处的湖面，等待着木筏的第二次前来。

一番等待之后，离去的木筏重新回来，韩成和留在岛屿上的人，一起登上木筏，在船桨的不断滑动之下，离开岛屿，朝着岸边逝去。

当木筏从岛屿的东侧绕出来之后，天边的那轮红日，最后的一点光辉也消失不见。

西边天际布满了深浅不一的晚霞，将泛平静的湖面也映成了天空的颜色，低头看去，一时间让人有些分不清是在水面还是在空中。

西方的空中有鸟儿腾空，振翅飞翔，映着晚霞只能让人看到黑影一般的轮廓。

“落霞与孤鹜齐飞，秋水与长天一色。”

站在木筏之上，看着此情此景，早已经在记忆中封存的王勃名篇之中的名句，忍不住脱口而出。

等到韩成他们上岸的时候，晚霞也消失了不少，暮色渐渐笼罩下来。

一同笼罩下来的还有夜的凉意。

在这样的时刻里，众人踩踏着杂草，披着暮色，一路朝着正在修建的龙门客栈而去。

大约走了一半的路程，天色就已经苍黑了。

又往前走了大约不到两里路，夜色彻底降下，墨蓝色的夜空里，有星辰闪耀，半轮明月也散发出光辉，接替太阳继续给晚归的人照明。

放眼朝着周围望去，景物变得更加苍茫。

小豌豆被韩成抱在了怀中，跟着的另外几个未成年人，年纪小些的也被别的成年人抱着行走，年纪大些的，则和韩成、巫白雪妹他们一起，被拿着藤盾和其余武器的部落战士围在中间，朝着前面走着。

跟随着的狗子们，在外围，一边行走，一边警戒……

第二天一早，被以沙师弟为首的十余人拿着武器保护着的青雀部落‘旅行团’，离开正在修建的龙门客栈，沿着青铜高速朝着铜山居住区前进。

这一段道路的上桥梁还没有修建，一些地方驴车不能通行。

不过这并不用担心，可以从边上之前临时修建的地方绕过去，虽然道路不够平坦，但短距离的行驶还是不成问题的。

这就跟县与县之间的那种柏油公路上的桥梁损毁正在修建一样，往来的车辆在临近这里的时候，需要下到土路上将之绕过去……

“奥~！”

显得光秃秃的铜山之上，有人看着远方忍不住的呼喊出声，觉得心中特别的畅快。

白雪妹等一些人，则蹲在铜山之上那些绿色或者是蓝色的水池边上，满是惊奇，忍不住的用手去触摸那宝石一样的水……

铜山下面，韩成、巫、沙师弟、殇等人则围绕着铜山居住区开始慢慢的散步。

去看那些炉子，去外面用脚去丈量铜山居住区周围的土地。

看着周围这大片的农田，以及农田里面生长的谷子、大豆这些作物。

这一路上，第一次来到铜山居住区的巫，脸上的笑容一直都没有消失过，看哪里都是乐呵呵的，快活的如同几岁的小豌豆一样……

太阳再一次的西斜，宣告着又一个白天即将结束。

爬上铜山居住区整体上用石头垒就的围墙之上的巫，看着夕阳笼罩下的铜山居住区，以及外面那大片生长着庄稼的农田，脸上满是孩子一般的笑容。

没有来到这里之前，他就知道铜山居住区，知道在这里有炼制铜锭、锡锭的炉子，知道铜山居住区周围，开辟有农田。

不过这些都只是听别人说的，自己并没有亲眼来见证过。

如今亲身来到了铜山居住区，亲眼看到了这一切，看到了这比想象中要好上许多的东西，他心中的快活真的都要溢出来了。

目光在周围寻索，最终落在了院落之中，那面在夕阳中随着晚风吹微微飘动的青雀旗子上。

这房屋，周围的一切，都是他们部落的！

没有离开主部落走上这一趟之前，巫就知道自己部落已经很强大了，如今沿着青铜高速走了这样的一遭之后，巫对于自己部落的强大，有了一个更为直观的认识。

夕阳之中，双手架着小杏儿的胳膊，让自己家的小闺女走了一会儿路的韩成，将闺女交给了在一旁的白雪妹，韩成顺着台阶来到了围墙之上。

来到巫的身边没有说话，而是和巫一样静静的打量着夕阳下的铜山居住区。

“美吧？”

良久之后，韩成笑着问巫。

“美！”

巫用力的点头，肯定回答。

“以后我们部落还会变得更美！再过上五年，十年，站在这上面去看，那时候周围的景色将会美的让你舍不得眨眼。”

韩成看着巫笑着说道。

巫再度用力的点头，神子的话他相信。

从青雀元年初秋时节，他和大师兄等人将神子从野外带回部落开始，到现在，也不过是过去了将近十年的时间。

十年的时间里，自己部落就从当初的几十人的小部落，发展到了如今让人不敢想象的模样。

再一个十年过去，部落能够发展到什么程度巫想象不出来，不过有一点他确非常的肯定，有神子在，再一个十年过去，自己部落一定会再度发生令人惊叹的变化。

部落一定会变得更加强大，变得更好。

这样的事情不能想，只要一想，巫就会充满憧憬。

只是在这种憧憬之中，还有些隐隐的担忧。

担忧自己年纪大了，会活不到见到这些的那一天。

“巫，好好的活下去！我还想着你到时间如同抱小豌豆一样，去抱小豌豆的孩子呢！到时间咱们一起，坐着车子去巡视属于我们部落的一切。”

韩成看着巫认真的说着。

巫的心情显得很激**，如同哄小豌豆一样，去哄小豌豆的孩子，这样的事情他当然的想，只是就怕……

说来说去，自己的年纪还是大了，再过上两年，应该就已经能超过青雀部落有史以来活的时间最久的火二了，这样的情况下，他如何会不担心？

“巫，不用担心，人可以活很久很久的，有的人能够活上一百多年，你还年轻！”

韩成笑着对巫说道。

有的人，确确实实能够活到一百多少岁。

虽然占得比例很小，不过他们的存在也说明了人还是能够活大年纪的。

在后世韩成生活的国度，因为没有战争，吃穿住行以及医疗卫生条件都有了一个极大的发展，百岁以上的人比例不大，不过七八十岁，八九十岁的人还是有很多的。

韩成说巫年轻，并没有说笑的意思。

因为部落里之前过的日子不好，导致了部落里的许多人单看外貌的话，要比后世常见的人苍老许多。

就比如看起来年纪很大的巫，按照韩成的估计，真实年龄实际上还不到后世的六十岁。

这个年纪的人，在后世还正是壮年的时候，干起活来，很多的小年轻都比不上，怎么可能会老了？

“真的？人真的可以活那么久?”

听到韩成的话，巫一下子变得激动了起来。

“当然是真的，只要不缺衣服食物，有好的住宿条件，不被野兽毒蛇这些所伤，不生什么病，人是可以活很多年的，你的年纪一点都不大。”

韩成对巫肯定的说着。

After living together for such a long time, Han Cheng knew what Wu was most worried about.

Han Cheng is also very clear about how much influence a person's psychological suggestion can have on that person.

So taking advantage of this opportunity today, Han Cheng said these words to Wu.

As for Wu, Han Cheng hopes that he will live a long life so that he can accompany him and the tribe more.

As the sun sets, the sunlight becomes softer, and if you don't look at the direction of the sun, you might mistake it for early morning.

Shrouded in the setting sun, Wu suddenly looked a lot younger, and he looked very energetic.

Even his hunched back straightened up a lot at this time.

Looking at Wu in this state, Han Cheng smiled sincerely...
