After the donkey saddle and stirrup were proven to be useful, the carpentry workshop headed by Bo sped up the production of both.
Because of the previous successful experience, there was no need to grope around and they could just be made according to the previous specifications and styles, so the production speed of these two things increased suddenly.
Of course, another reason is that with axes and chisels made of meteorite iron, people like them seem to be more motivated to do things.
The morale bonus effect is simply too good.
Under such circumstances, the carpenter's room made four more donkey saddles and stirrups in just one and a half days.
The only thing that makes Han Cheng feel regretful is that the tribe has not yet opened the technology tree for steel smelting.
Otherwise, I could ask someone to make the horseshoes as well.
Of course, it will also be transformed into donkey horseshoes like saddles and stirrups.
In this way, after equipping such a three-piece set, everything becomes perfect.
The meteorite iron in the tribe can meet this standard, but the quantity is too small. It is not enough to replace important things in the tribe, let alone make donkey shoes for the donkeys.
However, the donkeys in his tribe would not run long distances unless they encountered a situation similar to the last time in the Tongshan residential area. If they walked normally, it would not be a problem without nailing horseshoes on them.
With these five donkey saddles, the eldest brother and his crew's journey north will be more stable.
Of course, five donkeys with saddles were not enough for everyone to ride, but they could be used in an emergency.
Whoever can't bear it anymore can ride on the donkey for a while and take a rest.
But don't underestimate the effect that such rest can have. At critical moments, the role that such behavior can play is really beyond imagination.
While these two items were being made in the carpenter's room, the rest of the people in the tribe were also busy, carrying out various preparatory work.
Backpacks, leggings, food, weapons, medicinal materials, clothes, tents and other things needed for going out were all prepared while everyone was busy.
In the early morning of the Qingque tribe, the sky was still dark and the surroundings of the tribe were still shrouded in some mist that had not yet dissipated, but the Qingque tribe had already become lively.
This was the second day after the five donkey saddles were successfully made.
Because meteorite weapons are useful, and Han Cheng also wants to take his men south as soon as possible to continue building Jinguan City, the people of the Qingque tribe have become impatient for this trip north.
That is why, on the morning of the second day when the donkey saddle and stirrups were completely made, everyone was ready to set off.
"Be careful on the road, don't rush too much. Jinguan City is very warm, and you can still work in winter and carry out construction.
You don't have to worry about the crops in the tribe, we are here to take good care of them."
On Qingque Square, Han Cheng looked at his senior brothers who were wearing leggings and carrying backpacks, and spoke with a smile, giving them instructions.
Last time, he was the one traveling far away, but this time his role changed and he became the one seeing someone off.
The eldest brother and the others all nodded solemnly, indicating that they had firmly memorized the Son of God's words in their hearts.
"Let's go! The sooner you go, the sooner you'll be back!"
After giving some instructions, Han Cheng said to his senior brothers with a smile.
The eldest senior brother bowed and saluted Han Cheng, then turned around. The others also followed the eldest senior brother's example and bowed to Han Cheng, the son of God of the Qingque tribe. Then they turned around and walked towards the gate of the courtyard under the leadership of the eldest senior brother.
As soon as they left the courtyard, the smaller bluebird flag that the team carried was raised high, and it slowly fluttered in the morning breeze.
After leaving the tribe, the group walked towards the west of the tribe under the guidance of the green bird flag.
Not long after, we got on the Bronze Highway.
Because when the Black Stone Tribe and others came here, they first arrived at the Tongshan Residential Area, and then arrived at the main tribe, so this trip north also needs to first follow the Bronze Highway to reach the Tongshan Residential Area, and then go north through Bajiling.
The number of people in the group led by the eldest brother is much larger than when Han Cheng went south.
In addition to the fifty citizens of the Green Bird Tribe, there were also seventeen new slaves. At the same time, the old slaves who worked one-on-one with these selected new slaves also went with them.
The reason why so many people went there was because the purpose of the eldest brother and his team this time was different from that of Han Cheng and his team last time.
Han Cheng and his companions went to the South mainly to find a warm and livable place, which carried a lot of uncertainty. It would not be a good idea to bring too many people with them.
But this time it's different for the eldest brother and his men. They are going to the north to pick someone up.
Judging from the number of newly acquired slaves in the tribe and the number of those who were beaten to death, we can tell that there are quite a few people left in the tribe.
It is certain that it will exceed one hundred, and even exceeding two hundred or three hundred would not be too uncommon.
With so many people, if fewer people go, it will be difficult to suppress them and chaos will easily occur.
Although judging from the performance of these new slaves in the tribe, there shouldn't be any problems, but human hearts are really hard to grasp.
Just like piranhas, if you take one of these creatures out and put it into the water alone, they will be very timid, but once they form a group and have a large number of companions, they will immediately become ferocious.
Han Cheng was worried that the same would happen to the new slaves in the tribe.
After going north, I returned to the place where I lived before and saw the remaining people in the tribe. I immediately had some inappropriate thoughts.
Sending more people to the north can make these people think carefully when they may have some inappropriate thoughts, and can deter them.
Moreover, if something like this really happens, having more people in the tribe can ensure that the people in the tribe are less harmed or not harmed, and the rebellion can be suppressed quickly.
Han Cheng himself knew that the possibility of such a thing happening was not very high, but it was still right to be careful.
As everyone watched, the team with the Green Bird flags moved farther and farther away along the Bronze Highway and finally disappeared from everyone's sight.
After seeing off the eldest brother and his entourage, the people who remained in the tribe began to disperse and go about their work.
Compared to the last time Han Cheng went out, the people in the tribe seemed much more at ease about this trip of the eldest brother and his group. Unlike the time when Han Cheng went out, everyone was unsure and panicked.
The reason for this is, on the one hand, because Han Cheng holds an irreplaceable and important position in the Qingque tribe. Without him in the tribe, everyone always feels inexplicably uneasy.
On the other hand, Han Cheng's last trip had too many uncertainties, while this time the eldest brother and his friends' destination is clear.
So everyone seemed very relieved.
On the Bronze Highway, after the Green Bird flag at the front moved forward for a distance, the leader of the Grass Tribe, like everyone else in the team, couldn't help but look back from time to time.
I watched the tall tribe gradually become smaller and finally disappear from my sight.
However, unlike the sadness and reluctance of everyone in the team, the leader of the Grass Tribe felt relieved after no longer seeing the tall Green Bird Tribe.
It was as if I had escaped from a huge cage, or as if a huge stone pressing on my heart was suddenly lifted.
Driven by this mood, she even wanted to sing a song "Sister Sitting on the Bow" which she had learned in the Qingque tribe to express her excitement.
However, this impulse was ultimately suppressed by the leader of the Grass Tribe.
Not only that, she also showed her reluctance like everyone else.
Because she knew that if other people found out her true thoughts at this moment, it was hard to say whether these people would punish her or not, but what was certain was that they would watch her closely.
If something like this happens, then my trip will be in vain.
"Go!"
The eldest brother who was walking in front turned around and said to everyone.
Although the Son of God had told them not to rush before they set out, the eldest brother still felt that it would be better to walk faster.
Because when you return to the tribe earlier, you can do other things earlier.
At least this year's autumn harvest cannot be missed.
This was the thought that the eldest brother had already made up his mind after deciding to lead people north.
So after walking along the Bronze Highway for a while, we started to urge people to move forward and increased our speed.
Everyone followed the eldest brother and increased their pace.
When the sun was setting, they had already arrived at Tongfu Inn.
After resting for a while here, eating some food and drinking some boiled water, everyone started to move forward again.
Time passed slowly as everyone walked, and before they knew it, the sun had already fallen on the distant horizon.
However, the leading eldest brother had no intention of stopping to set up camp and continued walking.
"We'll rest when we get to Longmen Inn. There's a house, a kang, and a yard there."
The eldest brother turned around and shouted to everyone.
Today he planned to cover more distance. It didn't matter if they walked for a while at night. After all, they had more people and were well-equipped, so they didn't have to worry about encountering wild beasts.
In this state, it is only the wild beasts that are worried about encountering them, not them who are worried about encountering wild beasts.
And with the Bronze Highway there, there is no need to worry about getting lost. In this case, it is completely possible to walk at night.
Everyone was looking forward to heading north as soon as possible, so after the eldest senior brother gave a call, they all perked up, quickened their pace, and walked forward along the Bronze Highway.
As the crowd walked, the sunlight disappeared completely and dusk fell, making the already desolate world even more desolate.
The group continued walking like this, and after it got dark for some time, the Longmen Inn, which had been quiet for a few days, welcomed new visitors.
Some water birds that were closer to the Longmen Inn were startled by the noise and flapped their wings and flew away. Their calls were particularly loud in such a night.
"Boil some water and soak your feet before going to bed. This is what the Son of God taught us to do. It works great."
Inside the Longmen Inn, where the gate was closed from the inside and a fire was on, Mao's voice was heard, telling everyone the method he had learned from the Son of God.
After hearing Mao say that this was a method he learned from the Son of God, everyone did not dare to be negligent and started to follow Mao's example.
After soaking their feet in hot water, everyone thought it was a good idea. Their feet seemed to become much more comfortable all of a sudden, and they felt more energetic.
A lot of this is of course psychological.
Although hot water has developed into something that seems to be incurable in later generations.
If you have a cold, drink more hot water; if your throat is dry, drink more hot water; if your stomach is uncomfortable, drink more hot water; if you have a stomachache, drink more hot water; girls should also drink more hot water when they have their period...
And soaking your feet in it can indeed relieve fatigue, but the effect is not as good as the people in the Green Bird Tribe feel.
After having dinner, soaking their feet, and arranging people to keep watch, everyone went to sleep.
After walking all day, the people were already very sleepy. They lay down here and soon began to snore. The Dragon Gate Inn, which had been noisy for a while, returned to its quiet state...
The next morning, after breakfast, everyone set off and continued westward along the Qinggu Expressway. In the afternoon, when the sun was setting, they arrived at the Tongshan residential area.
The people in the Tongshan residential area were naturally very happy to see a large group of people from the main tribe led by the eldest brother.
"Let's arrange for someone to cook first. It can be simple and quick. After dinner, we can continue heading north."
After arriving at the Tongshan residential area, the eldest brother just met Shang who was stationed there and immediately gave these instructions.
After hearing this, Shang did not dare to delay and quickly arranged for the people in the Tongshan residential area to prepare a meal for his senior brother and the others.
"Chief, what are you going to do?"
After arranging the cooking, Shang began to ask the eldest senior brother about the purpose of their trip.
"Go north and bring the remaining people to our tribe..."
The eldest senior brother seemed somewhat excited and said to Shang, with a kind of joy as if he was saying, "I will raise your wife and children."
After understanding what the senior brother and his group were going to do, Shang also became excited, but also a little regretful in his excitement.
If it weren't for the need to stay here in the Tongshan residential area and unable to leave, Shang would have wanted to follow his senior brother and the others on this trip.
"This is a donkey saddle and stirrup. The Son of God asked Bo and his men to make them. With these things, donkeys are especially comfortable to ride on..."
Several donkeys equipped with donkey saddles and stirrups looked particularly conspicuous and easily attracted everyone's attention.
Mao smiled and explained to the curious people in Tongshan residential area.
After listening to Mao's explanation, everyone's eyes suddenly brightened. Liutou, who was now as famous as Maque in the tribe, rubbed his hands and seemed to be asking Mao impatiently if he could ride it.
Of course, we would agree to such a thing.
Moreover, before Liutou started to ride, Mao first demonstrated to Liutou and explained the trick of extending the right leg from the right side.
The habit of getting on and off the donkey from the right side remained in the Tongshan residential area.
The first time I rode on this donkey-like donkey with a saddle and stirrups, I was as excited as a sparrow and didn't even want to get off the donkey.
"The Son of God said that after a few days when they produce more, they will have some delivered over..."
Mao said with a smile to Liutou and some other people who liked riding donkeys who were looking at the donkey saddles and stirrups with deep reluctance.
After hearing what Mao said, Liutou and the others suddenly became happy and couldn't wait for that day to come.
There is no way. These two things are too lethal to people who like to ride donkeys, and their attraction to people is no less than that of meteorite axes and chisels.
While they were talking, the meal was prepared. After the eldest brother, Mao and their group had lunch provided by the Tongshan Residential Area, they set off again without staying for too long, leaving the Tongshan Residential Area and heading north.
While walking, I saw that millet was growing particularly well in several fields in the Tongshan residential area, and I could vaguely see some bones among the millet fields.
These bones were left behind by the Black Stone Alliance who had previously attacked the Tongshan residential area.
They once wanted to attack the Tongshan residential area, but now they are still outside the Tongshan residential area.
However, they have used their own bodies to atone for the sin of trampling on the farmland of the Qingque tribe that day.
The stronger grains of millet in the field are the best evidence of this.
The group walked forward along the path left in the fields and arrived at Bajiling.
The Bajiling at this time seemed even more insurmountable than before when the dense thorns had not yet fully grown leaves. The grown leaves covered all the gaps, making it look airtight.
On the other side of the narrow mouth of Bajiling, the traps that had been dug previously have now been destroyed and roughly sealed.
However, we can still see the traces left behind and find the location of the trap.
The leader of the Grass Tribe walked to the Baji Ridge again. Looking at the dense thorns on the Baji Ridge and the traces of traps that had not been completely filled, he couldn't help but recall the day when he and his men were defeated and trapped in the Baji Ridge.
The powerful fighting power of the people of the Green Bird Tribe, and the scene of their seemingly peaceful leader holding the black stone weapon and chopping off Treebark's head without hesitation also appeared in her mind.
Some fear couldn't help but rise in her heart, making her shiver.
Originally, my heart, which had been determined, began to waver at this moment.
The leader of the Grass Tribe was in deep hesitation about what he wanted to do next...
After the team left Bajiling, their pace slowed down.
On the one hand, the eldest brothers are not familiar with where to go next, and they need to let these new slaves identify it, which takes time.
On the other hand, there are no smooth roads for the rest of the journey, and many places need to be cleared with axes and sickles to make it easier to pass...
“Look where!”
A few days later, dusk came again, and the gorgeous sunset spread across the western sky, magnificent and colorful, with the tranquility of dusk.
Among the marching team, someone suddenly shouted in surprise.
The person shouting was the old primitive man from the Wind Tribe who had old legs but could run very fast.
"We used to live in caves!"
He shouted in surprise and wanted to tell the people around him.
After hearing the old primitive man's story, everyone became happy, because it meant that they didn't have to set up tents tonight. They only needed to fumigate the cave where the old primitive man once lived, check it, and then they could move in, saving a lot of trouble.
It was time to set up camp, so the eldest brother ordered everyone to head towards the cave where the Feng tribe originally lived.
After a while, everyone came to this cave which looked much more deserted.
The eldest brother ordered everyone to stop, put down their backpacks and other things, and find some firewood, light it and smoke the cave.
Soon, thick smoke began to rise from the place.
People built simple stoves in the open space outside, boiled water, cooked, and fed their livestock.
By the time everyone had finished dinner, the smoke in the cave had basically dissipated.
So people cleared the ashes left by the burning at the entrance of the cave to the side, lit a fire, walked into the cave, and started a fire inside.
The firelight illuminated the entire cave.
In the bright light of the fire, someone discovered that not too far from where they had lit the fire, there was a pile of burnt ashes that looked like it had not been there for too long.
After being amazed for a while, a new slave from the tribe spoke up and said that they had lived in this cave when they moved south.
After knowing that these ashes were left behind by them, everyone was no longer surprised and began to concentrate on cleaning up the cave and preparing for sleep.
The old primitive man from the Yuanfeng tribe also brought in some hot water and sat on a stone to soak his feet.
"ah!"
He put his feet in a basin of hot water and let out a loud shout, attracting everyone to look.
Of course, it was not because the water was too hot that scalded him, but because he suddenly remembered something.
If they had not left and joined the Qingque tribe to become a real Qingque tribe member, but continued to live here, would everything have been over?
The people who attacked the Tongshan residential area were so numerous and so ferocious. If we were to stay here and encounter them, we would have a hard time surviving...
After this thought arose, the old primitive man felt both fear and relief. At the same time, he felt even more proud of the fact that he had beaten the tribal leader with his shoes and made him agree to join the Green Bird tribe.
After hearing what the old primitive man said, everyone felt happy and fortunate for him.
As for the new slaves in the tribe who understood what the old primitives were talking about, they expressed these things that only the evil Black Stone tribal leader and the chopped-off bark would do.
As for them, they would never do such a thing...
What they said was true, because on the way to the Tongshan residential area, they encountered two small tribes.
Then, under the order of the leader of the Blackrock Tribe, they took action and attacked the two tribes they encountered one after another, and then the people of these two small tribes were gone...
At first, when they saw this empty cave, the leader of the Blackrock Tribe and many people in the Blackrock Alliance were all regretting why it was an empty cave...
