The appearance of Han Cheng and his group at this moment can only be described as horrific.
Except for the few female primitives who followed the tribe, the rest of the people in the team all had unshaven beards, including Han Cheng, who was already the father of two children.
Moreover, everyone had lost weight, and the clothes they were wearing seemed a little too big when they left.
Controlling your diet and moving your legs is indeed the best way to lose weight.
I really can't control my mouth, so it's nice to be able to move my legs.
Take Han Cheng and his group for example. On the road, Han Cheng tried his best to increase nutrition for everyone in the tribe. However, after such a hard journey, everyone lost a lot of weight.
If the clothes everyone was wearing were not made of leather and they were not wearing sturdy rattan armor, I am afraid that after this action, everyone's clothes would have been torn into pieces.
"Let's go! Let's go down!"
After standing here and resting for a while, Han Cheng greeted everyone, then put on his backpack, fastened the upper and lower straps tightly, and started walking downstairs.
After hearing Han Cheng's call, the others also stood up, put on their backpacks, took their weapons, and walked down with Han Cheng.
Two people holding rattan shields rushed to Han Cheng and protected him with the rattan shields.
Protecting the safety of the Son of God at all times is the principle that all of them follow.
Not to mention that Wu, the eldest senior brother and others gave instructions when they set out, even if they didn't, they would have done it spontaneously.
With them around, nothing can harm their Son of God!
After traveling for many days, they finally saw a place with a wide view. Everyone couldn't help but feel excited. It was not as ecstatic as when they finally saw an oasis after walking in the desert for many days, but they were still happy.
Regardless of whether this is the south that the Son of God mentioned, the broad view alone is enough to make everyone happy.
Everyone walked down the hill, and after walking for a while, they completely walked out of the hill.
When their feet stepped on the seemingly flat ground, everyone, including Han Cheng, couldn't help but feel excited.
"Let's go! Let's go over there and have a good rest when we get there."
Han Cheng pointed diagonally forward and spoke to everyone.
While standing on the hill, he had already taken the opportunity to carefully observe the terrain from a high vantage point and knew that there was a small river there.
In this era, where there is water, there are fish. Of course, the water here refers to the water that exists on the surface of the earth in nature, excluding artificial water such as tears, sweat, saliva, etc.
Get to the water source early and throw the fish cage you carry with you into the water, and that way you will have a guaranteed supply of food.
They can also use clay pots to boil some hot water, let some of it cool down for drinking, and use the rest for washing and soaking their feet.
Along the way, at Han Cheng's insistence, soaking feet in hot water has become an indispensable procedure. This practice can effectively relieve foot fatigue and allow people in the team to have longer endurance.
Han Cheng has decided that no matter whether this is the south or not, he will take his men here to have a good rest.
The previous climb over mountains and across rivers was too physically demanding. If they didn't take a good rest, Han Cheng felt that some people would not be able to bear it and might even fall behind.
Of course, the most important thing is that he himself can't bear it anymore. Compared with the real primitive men like his second brother, he, a half-baked primitive man who changed his job halfway, is not wild enough in terms of physique.
Everyone began to move in the direction pointed by Han Cheng. As they walked, just like before, there would be at least two people holding large shields standing by Han Cheng at all times.
Further ahead, there will be four people holding long spears, who will use the spears to whip the grass in an attempt to scare away the snakes.
During the procession, someone would hold a gong hammer and hit the gong a few times.
These sounds are used to tell the wild beasts that the Son of God of the Green Bird Tribe has begun his patrol, and all beasts should be careful to avoid him and never rush into him without thinking. It seems as if the king has asked me to patrol the mountains.
Junior Brother Sha and several other people in the team who were good at using bows and arrows held bows and arrows in their hands, ready at all times.
If you encounter a large beast like a tiger that is startled, generally as long as the other party does not take the initiative to provoke you, you will let it go. As for those small wild animals that are startled, you will basically shoot an arrow or several arrows at them.
By walking and hunting with a bow, you can often get a lot of prey. If you are lucky, you can't finish eating the prey in a day.
They walked like this, knocking and hitting things all the way, and when they came to a small river about two miles away from the bottom of the hill, they had killed some small wild animals by Junior Brother Sha and his companions.
The stream was not very wide, only about three meters wide. After arriving here and choosing a place to rest, everyone, who had rich experience in setting up camp, began to move.
First, use your feet to trample down the weeds. If there are some that are difficult to trample down, use a sickle to cut them off.
Then nail a circle of wooden stakes around and wrap ropes around the stakes to create a simple protective measure.
During this process, some people would lower the fish cages they carried with them into the water, while others would use shovels and other tools to dig holes in the selected camp and clear out a small firebreak for making fire and cooking.
As for Han Cheng, the Son of God, he was accompanied by several people and looked around, trying to find some plants that he knew only grew in the south.
After searching for a while, he returned disappointed. The plants that he knew were only found in the south did not appear.
This made Han Cheng wonder whether some of the plants he knew had not yet appeared in this world.
If that's not the case, why haven't I seen anything along the way?
Or is it that the original location of my tribe was too far to the north?
We returned to the temporary camp with the usual disappointment. A fire had already been lit and two clay pots of water had been boiled.
Some food cooked in another clay pot had begun to emit some fragrance, and a few chicken wings that were skewered on thin sticks had been cooked.
"Son of God."
When the second brother, who was squatting there grilling meat, saw Han Cheng coming back, he smiled and handed the grilled chicken wings to Han Cheng.
Chicken wings are nothing but skin and bones, with no meat at all. In the entire tribe, only the Son of God likes to eat them. The rest of the people are more interested in chicken legs and chicken breasts with lots of meat.
Han Cheng smiled and nodded to his second brother, took the roasted chicken wings from his hand, took a bite and ate slowly.
It has to be said that the best thing for foodies to take care of is food.
For example, the second brother now.
After specializing in barbecue for a long time and under the influence of Han Cheng, he began to strive for excellence, and the food the second brother grilled became better and better.
For example, the roasted chicken wings in Han Cheng's hand would be perfect if sprinkled with some cumin and chili powder.
As soon as Han Cheng took a bite of the chicken wings carefully grilled by Senior Brother Yidian, his depressed mood due to not finding those plants suddenly became much better.
Sure enough, food is a very magical thing. It has a strong healing ability for many bad emotions.
Han Cheng stopped thinking about the South and plants for the time being, and started concentrating on the food in his hands.
Eating while watching the second brother grilling meat is also a great enjoyment that can make people forget their worries.
In this state of mind, I quietly swallowed half a grilled chicken wing.
Han Cheng, who was happily chewing a chicken wing with his lips and mouth corners all greasy, suddenly stopped what he was doing and his eyes fell on the feet of his second brother, who was sitting on a stone and grilling meat in a very professional manner.
At the feet of the second brother, there was some relatively moist soil. This was some soil that was dug out when a simple ignition pit was dug not long ago.
He had even been stepped on quite hard by the second brother.
Han Cheng had already seen the excavated soil, but he had never paid attention to it and automatically ignored it.
But now, he couldn't take his eyes away.
After squatting there and staring blankly for a while with a chicken wing in his mouth, Han Cheng stood up and quickly ran to his second senior brother's side. He squatted down and looked at the turned-up soil closely.
While watching, he quickened the pace of eating the chicken wings.
In a short while, he had hurriedly eaten up the remaining meat and threw it to a dog that had been waiting for a long time. Han Cheng couldn't wait to reach out and grab some soil on the ground, and after looking at it carefully for a while, an excited look appeared on his face.
"Come on, some people, follow me!"
Han Cheng threw away the soil in his hand, picked up a shovel placed not far away and said to some people around him who noticed his seemingly abnormal behavior.
Everyone has followed Han Cheng for a long time and knows a lot about the Son of God. Looking at his expression, one can tell that he has most likely discovered something good.
Many people simply put down the work in their hands, stood up with their weapons in hand, and prepared to follow Han Cheng.
“没事，不用这么多人就成，你们几个跟着我来，剩下的人继续做事情。”
韩成点出了几个人让他们拿着武器和自己一起行动，让其余人继续做事情。
被点到的这几个人，立刻就有了一种接受到了神圣使命的感觉，拿着武器将韩成守护的严严实实的，一脸严肃庄重的准备跟着神子见证奇迹……
然而，他们神子刚刚走出临时营地没多久就已经停下的脚步，用手中拿着的铜锨**开地面上的一些杂草，然后用脚踩着铜锨的一侧，将铜锨踩的往土里面进入了大约一半，手上用力将之撬了起来。
铲起的这一块土，被韩成扣了过来，显得湿润的土壤，暴露在空气之中。
和韩成所期待的一样，土壤还是紫色的！
“走，到更远的地方去。”
生命值瞬间变满的韩成，压抑着心中的激动之情，对跟随着他的人说道。
然后往前走了大约一两百米之后，停下脚步，再次动手开挖，土壤依然是紫色的……
“哈哈哈……”
在距离临时营地大约两里多地的地方，看着被自己翻过来的紫色土壤，脸上喜色越来越浓的韩成，终于忍不住的笑出声来。
跟随着韩成而来这些人，看着那被韩成扣在地上的泥土，一个个显得摸不着头脑。
这一次，虽然他们全程都在跟着神子，没有错过任何的一个步骤，但他们还是没有发现神子到底发现了什么好东西。
如果是一些植物之类的东西，他们都能够理解，但现在神子挖掘出来的却只是一些泥土。
这些泥土他们都仔细的观看了，一遍又一遍，除了颜色是紫色之外，并没有看出什么不同来。
莫非这种紫色的泥土，有着什么极为特殊的作用，能够如同部落那里的粘土一样，可以用来烧制出陶器？
一些思维比较活跃的人，已经开始将之往制陶、烧砖之类的上面联想了。
还有一些什么也没有想到的人，干脆什么也不想了，而是开始咧着嘴跟着他们的神子一起傻笑。
管它有什么作用呢，反正能够让神子这样高兴，那肯定是对自己部落有用的好东西，有了好东西当然好好好的高兴高兴，自己跟着神子一起笑，准没有错。
韩成当然高兴，他高兴不是因为这得紫色的土壤能够做什么，而是因为想起了这些紫色土壤所代表着的巨大意义。
岭南地区的红壤，中原以及关中地区广泛分布的黄土，东北地区肥沃的黑土，以及多集中分布在四川盆地的紫色土，这些都是当年在地理课上学到的知识。
现在，在自己等人所处的地方，就出现了大量的紫色土壤，这如何能够不让韩成激动？
虽说紫色土，除了四川盆地集中分布之外，其余地方也有分布，但有一点韩成却是很肯定的，那就是绝大多数的紫色土壤都是分布在南方的，北方少有存在。
自己等人从部落出发，一路向南许多天，现在遇到了紫色土，那就说明了自己等人，现在所处的地方，就算不是四川盆地，也一样是南方。
不过韩成觉得，自己等人现在所处的地方，是四川盆地的可能性最大，因为就在他们部落，就养着一些特别会卖萌的大熊猫。
这些大熊猫是熊部落的人，从距离他们所生活的地方不是特别远的竹林拐来的。
而据韩成了解，大熊猫这种后世的国宠，在古代的时候，除了天府之国之外，在靠近四川盆地的周围也有所分布，比如秦岭这些地方就有。
既然自己部落之前所在的地方，就有大熊猫存在，那就说明，自己部落以前所在的位置，距离四川盆地就算不得特别远。
如今自己等人一路往南，穿越了许多的山岭，来到了这样的一处视野极其开阔的地方，并且还发现了紫色的土壤，那现在自己等人所处的地方，十有八九就是被称为天府之国的四川盆地了。
那若自己等人现在所处的地方是四川盆地，那自己部落所处的位置，应该就是秦时故地，关中一带了。
大概知道了自己以及部落所在的位置之后，韩成忽然间有着一些拨开重重迷雾，豁然开朗的感觉。
各种地形地貌，一直以来都是在不断缓缓演变着的，从自己现在所处的时代来看，自己整个时代的不少东西肯定和后世的不太一样。
比如喜马拉雅山脉一定没有后世的高。
但也有许多东西是已经定型了的，就算是发生改变，也不会太大。
所以韩成觉得自己的定位应该是没有错的。
当然，就算是定位错了也没有什么关系，自己说这里是四川盆地，说自己部落所在的位置是关中，那就一定是这样的。
就跟他估约莫弄出来的厘米、斤两这些东西一样，肯定跟后世的标准对不上，但那有什么关系呢？
它一样能够为自己部落提供一个标准，只要这个标准不发生混乱，那它在自己部落就是正确的。
在这个可以称之为蛮荒的时候，有很多的时候，面对很多的事情，真的可以为所欲为。
特别是对着各种度量衡制定标准、以及许多东西命名的时候。
“这里就是我们所要找的南方！我们找到了可以用来抵御寒冷的地方！”
傻乐了一阵儿之后，韩成看着众人，笑着说道，向众人宣布这个对于他们而言，非常值得高兴的消息。
听到韩成说出这样的话之后，这些跟随着他一起过来的众人，一个个全都忍不住的跟着大声欢呼起来。
为了给部落找到一个更为安全、可以规避可能会越来越严重的寒冷侵害的地方，他们随着自己的神子，远离部落，在陌生的地方长时间的行走，穿梭，途中没少吃苦。
现在，神子告诉他们，自己等人终于来到了南方，找到了自己等人想要寻找的地方，这如何会不让他们感到高兴？
四川盆地，严格意义上来讲，确实是属于南方，不管是东南也好，西南也罢，带着南，就是南方。
后世韩成所熟知的秦岭——淮河这道南北方的分界线，就在四川盆地的北面。
就算是现在的气候和后世的时候不太一样，但这条分界线还是有着很强的借鉴意义的。
除了这些之外，现在自己等人所处位置的北面，可是有些许许多多的崇山峻岭的，这些可都是能够有力阻挡冷空气南下的存在。
所以就算是没有在这里过过冬日，韩成也基本上能够肯定，在这里是可以应对变冷的天气的。
韩成等人，这里欢呼了一阵儿之后，就开始往临时营地那里赶去。
没有原路返回，而是绕了一个半圆，在回来的途中，韩成也对一些地方进行了挖掘，所看到的依旧是紫色土，这让他心中对之前的猜测，变得更加确信起来。
回到营地之后，韩成将这个事情告诉临时营地的众人，众人闻听此事之后，一个个也都是忍不住的喜形于色，为他们终于为部落找到了这样的好地方而高兴不已。
“神子，为什么看到紫色土，您就知道这是南方？”
也并不是所有的人，都会不求甚解的跟着傻乐，比如此刻跟着前来的石头，就发出了这样的疑问。
被他这样一提问，一些人才意识到这个问题，也都望向韩成。
此刻的韩成已经重新洗了手，接过二师兄重新加热了一下的鸡翅，接着在那里慢条斯理啃，比之前的时候吃的有滋味多了。
“这是因为，这种紫色的土壤，基本上在南方才有存在，我们又往南方走了这么久……”
韩成一边慢慢的嚼着手中的鸡翅，一边对石头等人进行科普。
如今，对于部落里的人提出来的问题，韩成都是坚持能解释清楚就尽量解释清楚的原则，这样有助于部落更好的发展。
至于他为什么会知道这么多，部落里的人是不会对此有什么疑问的，因为他还顶着一个神子的无敌光环。
作为神子，自然是要见多识广的，这是理所应当的事情。
听了韩成的解释之后，不少人都了然的点点头，明白了这是怎么回事，有一种又涨知识的感觉。
因为终于到达了所要寻找的南方的缘故，部落里的人，都非常的快活，提着的心一下子就放到了肚子里，所以接下来的一段儿时间里就过的很是悠闲了。
众人用所能获得到的食物，在这里好好的吃了一顿，并烧了充足的热水泡了脚。
有些人还到比较靠下游的一些地方，就着河水进行洗澡。
还有不少人，将随身携带的铜刀在细腻的磨石上面磨了之后，对着水面刮脸上的胡子。
也有一些人在相互帮助着清理头上显得过长的头发。
那几个女人们，则用羊角制成的梳子，一下一下的梳理着清洗过后，披散着的头发。
Because of the arrival of Han Cheng and his group, the place that originally seemed deserted suddenly became lively.
After dealing with these things, it would still take some time before it got dark, but many people had already gone to sleep in their tents.
This continuous journey over mountains and across rivers made them all very tired. Now that the thing they had always wanted to do had come to fruition, of course they needed to take a good rest.
Han Cheng lay in the tent, imagined what might happen next, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The camp, which seemed noisy, soon became quiet.
