Seeing the eldest senior brother running out like the wind with a backpack and disappearing without a trace in a moment, the people in the room looked at each other in surprise, not understanding for a moment what kind of miraculous operation the eldest senior brother had performed.
Han Cheng sniffed. Fortunately, he didn't run a backpack store. If he did, he would probably chase the person out with a knife if he encountered such a situation.
While everyone was puzzled, the sound of footsteps running was heard again outside. A moment later, the eldest brother reappeared in everyone's sight.
The only difference is that compared to before, the eldest senior brother now has the rattan shield that he often uses in his hand.
"Son of God, look, I can use a vine shield even with a backpack on!"
The eldest brother was standing outside the door, waving his rattan shield non-stop, without taking off his backpack. His face was full of joy and excitement, as if he was presenting a treasure, and he was as happy as a child who had found a new toy.
Seeing this scene, Wu and others all smiled happily, and they liked the backpack made by Han Cheng even more.
The Son of God is the Son of God. He just made these changes to an ordinary animal skin bag, and it immediately became extremely useful.
Not only is it easy to carry, but it also frees up both hands to do other things, which is something they had never thought of before.
Han Cheng looked at his senior brother who was carrying a backpack and waving a rattan shield, and his face was also full of smiles.
However, after noticing that the backpack was moving up and down and looked loose as the eldest brother jumped, the smile on Han Cheng's face disappeared a little.
"Big Brother, take off the backpack first. Some parts are not fixed yet. We need to fix them to make it more useful."
Han Cheng smiled and spoke to his senior brother.
After these words were spoken, everyone including Wu, Yuan and others were a little confused.
Especially the witch who had just carried the backpack, and the eldest brother who was waving the rattan shield with a backpack on his back, were even more confused.
They have all personally experienced the benefits of this backpack. Carrying it on their backs is much more comfortable and lighter than carrying it in their hands, in their arms, or on their shoulders. It can be said that it has many benefits.
But now, the Son of God actually told them that this backpack was not the best and could be improved to become better. How could they not be surprised and confused?
The Son of God is the Son of God, and his demands for things are still as high as ever.
After being stunned, everyone expressed their sincere emotion.
Han Cheng took the backpack that the eldest brother put down and took out everything inside one by one.
After looking at it carefully for a while, he pointed to two places near the top and bottom of the backpack and asked Sister Bai Xue to sew two sets of straps on these two places, symmetrically on the left and right.
After Bai Xuemei understood what Han Cheng meant, she immediately started to work. It didn't take too long to sew two sets of straps on the backpack according to Han Cheng's requirements.
Han Cheng put the things he had taken out back into the bag, then put the backpack on his shoulders and tied the two sets of straps that were sewn symmetrically on the left and right.
After being tied, the upper set is located on the upper chest, and the lower one is on the stomach.
Once I tied these two straps around my body, I immediately felt much more comfortable.
Han Cheng felt it, smiled with satisfaction, then untied it and handed it to Wu.
After helping Wu put it on his back and helping him tie the upper and lower straps, Wu immediately felt the benefits of the newly sewn straps.
After tying these two straps, the backpack fits tighter to the body, carrying it feels less strenuous, and the shoulders don't feel as heavy as before.
After feeling it for a while, Wu took off the backpack and handed it to the eldest brother, asking him to feel the difference. He felt that the eldest brother would be even more pleased with this change.
Sure enough, when the eldest brother put the improved backpack on his shoulders and moved it around a few times, his eyes suddenly lit up.
He couldn't wait to pick up the rattan shield and start dancing with it. The more he danced, the more excited he became. He felt that this new tool created by the Son of God was really useful.
Just now he thought the previous one was very useful, but now, after personally experiencing this improved backpack, he immediately threw the previous idea out of the window and never thought of using the previous backpack again.
Well, when it comes to some things, it's not just women who are fickle, men are just as fickle.
After this travel bag-like backpack became a huge success and received unanimous five-star reviews from everyone, Han Cheng began to gather people in the tribe who were good at making clothes and asked Bai Xuemei to teach them how to make them.
Instead of having one person do the whole thing, these people do the work separately, with several people responsible for one process and operating the assembly line.
Good things like assembly lines were already in use during the Qin Dynasty.
However, with the demise of the Qin Dynasty, many of the Mohist disciples who served the Qin State also suffered, and many of their traditions were cut off in the war at the end of the Qin Dynasty.
After the establishment of the Western Han Dynasty, the Huang-Lao school, which advocated the principle of inaction and achieving everything, came to power, and the remaining Mohist disciples had a relatively better life.
After Dong Zhongshu submitted the Three Strategies of Heaven and Man, Emperor Wu of Han abolished all schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone. After the Confucianists, led by the Gongyang School and particularly capable of fighting, came to power, the Mohists, who had always been at odds with the Confucianists, became even more uncomfortable.
Therefore, the remaining Mohist elites, the Huang-Lao school members who were squeezed out by Confucianism because of their stubbornness and refusal to change, and most of the remaining eclectic schools and other schools of thought gathered around Liu An, King of Huainan, attempting to assist Liu An in rebelling against Emperor Wu of Han and thereby return to the court.
He also wrote a book called "Huainanzi" which included the works of various schools.
Those who dared to rebel against Emperor Wu of Han never had a good end. Liu An's end was tragic, and so were those who supported him in the Mohist and Huang-Lao schools. The elite class with ideals and ambitions was almost wiped out.
The Mohist school, which had already suffered a heavy blow, became even weaker and never recovered, and gradually disappeared in the long river of history. The same was true for the Huang-Lao school. The real Huang-Lao disciples basically disappeared, and the remaining people, disguised as Huang-Lao disciples, developed Taoism, which advocated alchemy, cultivation and immortality, which was far from the real Huang-Lao doctrine...
Under the increasingly verbose Confucian rule, craftsmen were increasingly neglected and denounced as peculiar skills and ingenuity, so that many brilliant things were lost in the long river of history, and the development of many crafts was seriously hindered...
Whenever he thought of this, Han Cheng felt very uncomfortable. He felt extremely regretful that the precious knowledge and wealth of his ancestors had not been preserved and much of it had disappeared in the long river of history.
It is precisely because of this regret that Han Cheng pays more attention to the skills that have been developed in the Qingque tribe.
For things that are of great use to the tribe, in addition to recording them on paper, they will also have people record a copy on a pottery plate for preservation to prevent the interruption of inheritance.
Let good things be lost in the long river of history.
If one day, the tribe really encounters an accident and some things gradually disappear in the long river of history, with these recorded pottery plates and other things, future generations may be able to find some of them back.
For example, when faced with powerful ships and guns, Tan Sitong, Liang Qichao and others dug out the Gongyang School from the pile of old papers and used it to arm themselves.
Although he failed later, his courageous fighting spirit continued to inspire everyone, and he became the most dazzling figure in the entire literati class at that time.
As the women in the tribe worked hard, backpacks were produced one after another, with basically no major differences in style and size.
While they were doing these things, the rest of the people in the tribe were not idle either.
In winter, water-powered pestles cannot be used, so some people in the tribe pound the millet manually in preparation for their journey south after the spring.
At this time, the millet has been pounded, so it is convenient for people traveling south to eat it on the road.
Some people were sewing clothes, and some were repairing and polishing some tools so that people traveling south could use them on the road.
Some people began to grind tofu, then compress it into dried tofu, and some of it was made into tofu skin so that people could eat it on the road.
Wu Ze took out the herbs such as Bupleurum root and Houttuynia cordata stored in the tribe and dried them in the sun, handling them carefully, as they would be taken away later.
He definitely couldn't go on this journey south, so he used his own methods to silently contribute to the tribe's journey south.
Those who wish to travel south in the spring will encounter fewer difficulties and return safely when the time comes.
Han Cheng continued to think about the possible difficulties and corresponding solutions in the room. He told the people in the tribe about some feasible solutions and asked them to prepare.
Sometimes I would ask people in the tribe if they have any good solutions.
On such days, all the backpacks were completed, thirty-five in total.
Looking at the pure leather backpack placed here, Han Cheng nodded with satisfaction.
With these things, this outing will be much more convenient.
Han Cheng gave great praise to the people who made these backpacks, led by Bai Xuemei.
"Ha ha!"
After praising everyone, Han Cheng, who was alone in the room, couldn't help but laugh out loud.
This was certainly not a sign of madness, but rather he had remembered something that was very useful for traveling.
This thing is leggings.
Carrying a backpack with three horizontal and two vertical straps on his back and leggings on his legs, he crawled across the snow and crossed the uninhabited grassland on foot, completing a journey of 25,000 miles while being pursued and blocked by the enemy.
It created a miracle in human history, produced a team with an iron will, a force that set the prairie on fire, and a path for the revival of an ancient nation.
During long-distance hiking marches, leg wraps can play a huge role in relieving leg fatigue and allowing the calves to recover as quickly as possible.
At the same time, leggings can also resist damage from the outside world, such as protecting the legs from being scratched by thorns and the like, and also preventing bites from insects and ants.
Thinking of the leg wraps and the various benefits of wearing them, Han Cheng was of course happy, because with this thing, the people of the tribe would have more protection on their journey south.
Doing what they say and not procrastinating is a major characteristic of primitive people. Han Cheng has lived in the tribe for a long time and has been influenced by it.
After remembering to put on leg wraps, I took action immediately.
According to the image in his memory, he first found some linen, cut it into pieces about ten centimeters wide, and then began to practice on his legs.
Tying leg wraps is a technical job. When Han Cheng was alive, he had only seen ready-made leg wraps, but he didn't know how to tie them specifically, so he could only figure it out on his own.
After practicing for a while, he started to wrap the leggings upwards from the ankle in circles, using quite a lot of force, and the leggings made his legs swell up a little.
Do this all the way to the knee bend before stopping.
Then Han Cheng encountered an embarrassing situation, that is, there was only one leggings wrapped all the way up, and there was no way to tie it up.
After struggling for a while, I finally made up my mind and cut the end of the leggings in the middle, leaving a fork about fifteen centimeters long. In this way, the problem was perfectly solved.
Do the same with the other leg.
After putting on the leg bandages, Han Cheng stood up and tried to walk. He was not used to it and felt his calves were swollen and painful. Moreover, because they were too tight, he had difficulty taking steps.
It goes without saying that this was too tight.
Han Cheng squatted down again, untied his leggings, and hit him again, but this time he didn't use as much force.
After the injection, I stood up and walked again. The calf pain was still there, but it no longer affected my steps.
Han Cheng walked out of the house.
"Son of God, what is this?"
Han Cheng, wearing leg wraps, was as eye-catching as possible when walking in the tribe, and his rate of turning heads was absolutely high.
When someone saw this, they couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
"These are leggings..."
Han Cheng explained to them with a smile.
"Son of God, let me try too."
Wu is definitely an old man with a spirit of experimentation. He is willing to accept new things and has no intention of sticking to the old ways.
After learning from Han Cheng about the benefits of wearing leg wraps for long-distance walking, I also wanted to try it myself.
"Wu, wait a minute..."
Han Cheng did not agree, because he was not professional in leg wrapping and he was just in the trial stage and not mature yet, so he did not let Wu wrap him.
It won’t be too late to promote it in the tribe after the leggings he puts on himself show results.
In the next few days, Han Cheng had to walk back and forth for three or four hours every day in the tribe after clearing the snow.
In the first few days, I felt really uncomfortable, but after I got through it, I felt different immediately.
Not only did the uncomfortable feeling in my legs disappear, but even if I walked continuously for an entire afternoon, my calves no longer felt sore.
After personally verifying the effectiveness of this type of leg wrapping, Han Cheng had thirty-six pairs of leg wraps made according to his specifications.
Two of them were for Wu and the eldest senior brother to experience, and the other thirty-four were for those who were selected to go south with him after the spring.
This time when heading south, Han Cheng decided to lead the team himself.
On the one hand, this journey is extremely important to the future of the tribe and cannot be taken lightly.
On the other hand, he was the only one in the entire tribe who had seen the world and had a clear understanding of the differences between the south and the north. If someone else were to lead the team, he would probably not even know the difference when he arrived in the warm south.
Because apart from the cold season of winter, in other seasons, people who have never been to the south cannot distinguish between the south and the north.
After imitating Han Cheng's way of putting on the leggings, the eldest brother and the others felt the same as Han Cheng did at first, that their calves were very uncomfortable. If the Son of God had not told them long before they started putting on the leggings that this would be the feeling when they put them on, they would have definitely untied them and used them as foot bindings or belts.
This uncomfortable feeling lasted for three or four days, and then it disappeared. Not only that, I also felt very comfortable...
As the people of the Qingque tribe prepared for their journey south, time passed little by little, and the belated spring finally arrived.
The warm yellow sun hangs in the sky, scattering warm sunlight down, as gentle as a lover's kiss.
With a kiss, the ice and snow melted, the river became cheerful again, the roots of the withered and yellow weeds turned green, some rice-sized buds appeared on the willow branches, the early yellow flowers swayed slightly in the early spring breeze, and birds chirped happily in the distance...
The ice on the earth was finally lifted, and the whole world was full of vitality. The sunshine was so bright and gentle, and everywhere was full of colors.
Those who had already prepared for the long journey did not set off immediately, but like other people in the tribe, they worked hard for the spring plowing in the tribe. Holding various tools in their hands, they turned the soil, broke up the earth, and picked up grass roots in the fields in early spring.
The reason why they did not set out immediately was, on the one hand, because this year's spring came relatively late, leaving the tribe with less time to plow the soil. Han Cheng and his group could plow more soil if they stayed in the tribe.
On the other hand, the ice and snow had just melted, and the roads were muddy and not easy to walk on.
The spring of the twelfth year of Qingque has arrived. It is still a long time before winter, so there is no need to rush.
At this time, it is necessary to wait for some time in the tribe to allow the ice and snow to melt completely and the land to no longer be muddy, because what needs to be carried out next is a protracted war, not a short-distance race.
Avoiding the muddy period will save everyone from suffering on the road, which will be more conducive to the subsequent walk...
In the quiet morning, various animals raised in the tribe were walking back and forth in their pens, flapping their wings or snorting from time to time, and sometimes they would look out of the pens, looking a little bored.
They are waiting for people in the tribe to feed them.
However, the people who used to feed them very promptly broke their promise today. Even at this time, no one came to feed them.
At this time, the feeders who were longed for by the beasts in the tribe gathered in the threshing ground outside the Qingque tribe.
The 35-member southbound team led by Han Cheng was now fully prepared and ready to go.
Everyone was wearing leggings, rattan armor on their upper bodies, backpacks on their backs, rattan helmets on their heads, and weapons in their hands. They looked a little weird, but there was something different in the weirdness.
Han Cheng, who was carrying a backpack, reached out and touched Bai Xue's head, but didn't say anything, because he had already said everything he needed to say in the past few nights.
He took little Xing'er, who could already call "Dad" incoherently, from sister Bai Xue's arms, then squatted down and picked up little Wandou, who was standing on the ground, in his arms. Then he stood up and picked up both the brother and sister, one in each arm.
He kissed Xiao Xing'er on the cheek and rubbed his forehead against Xiao Wandou's forehead.
Xiao Xing'er is still young and can't feel anything, but Han Wandou has noticed something, and the little person seems depressed.
"Take good care of mom and sister at home, dad will be back soon and bring you some delicious food.
Little Pea is a little man, he has grown up, don't cry."
Han Cheng handed Xiao Xing'er to Bai Xuemei beside him, wiped away his son's tears, and comforted him with a smile.
Seeing his son crying because he was reluctant to leave, Han Cheng was deeply touched. He even had the idea of not going out anymore and staying in the tribe with his wife and children.
However, he suppressed this thought because he knew that this thing had to be done.
When I was a child, I longed to grow up quickly because when I grew up, I would be free and could do many things I like.
But when you really grow up, you will find that the adult world is not what you expected as a child, and it does not have the kind of freedom you wanted as a child.
On the contrary, many times you have to do things you don’t like to do.
But there is no way, this is the world of adults, with burdens and responsibilities on our shoulders, we can no longer do as we please as we did when we were children, even getting a good night's sleep has become an extremely luxurious thing...
Han Cheng wiped away Little Pea's tears, said goodbye to the witch, the eldest brother and the rest of the people in the tribe, then put Little Pea down, pinched his face which still had some baby fat, turned around and left with his men.
The Green Bird flag was raised high, rustling in the spring breeze. A group of thirty-five people, carrying backpacks, leading two donkeys and eight deer, walked east for a while, then turned south and gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.
Little Pea wiped his eyes vigorously with the back of his hand, and his vision became clear again. Looking at the team gradually going away, the little guy stopped crying. Instead, his little face became tense and his two little fists were clenched tightly.
The little person seemed to have grown up a lot in an instant and became sensible.
Growth seems to be accompanied by some pain, and this kind of taste, most of the time, can only be tasted slowly by oneself...
