After the departure of nearly a hundred people including the eldest brother, the Qingque tribe suddenly seemed a lot more spacious.
However, everyone was not idle and was still carrying out various tasks.
Because so many people left at once, those who remained in the tribe became even busier.
Next to the blacksmith's furnace, the clanging sounds of iron hammering continued to be heard, and the second senior brother was still there processing the meteorite iron.
The usefulness of meteorite iron weapons made him become obsessed with forging iron, and he wanted to forge more meteorite iron weapons faster and better.
In order to save more energy for blacksmithing, he rarely touches his spouses when he sleeps at night, and he is developing into an ascetic male god.
In the carpenter's room, Bo led the new generation of carpenters such as Mao'er to continue making donkey saddles and stirrups.
Han Cheng meant that at least half of the donkey saddles and stirrups should be made to equip the adult donkeys in the tribe.
That is thirty-one sets.
In this way, the tribe can try to form a group of donkey cavalry.
Of course, the donkey cavalry that Han Cheng mentioned cannot be compared with the sophisticated cavalry in ancient times.
It is impossible to draw a bow from a donkey, or even to charge while riding a donkey and holding a weapon.
But it can greatly improve everyone's mobility and save a lot of physical energy.
Even when encountering tribes that had never seen creatures like donkeys, the mere sight of someone riding on a donkey was enough to scare them away.
So it is still necessary to try.
Of course, according to the current level of the tribe, it is impossible to afford a professional army. These people are still the same as before, training once every two days. When it comes to the busy farming season, they focus on work in the fields, stop training and go farming.
But this level of training is enough. After all, in such an era, such training has far exceeded that of all the tribes known to Han Cheng.
Facing such a Qingque tribe, those tribes that dared to mess with it would only be beaten.
"Let these kids herd sheep for you. When herding the sheep, let them ride on the sheep as much as possible. Of course, they cannot ride on pregnant ewes."
Early in the morning, Lao Yang and some other people picked up the shepherd's whips hanging outside the sheepfold, brought the dogs that had learned to herd sheep, carried dry food, and prepared to open the sheepfold to start a new day of herding sheep.
It was at this time that Han Cheng came over with a group of more than 20 children.
These minors are all relatively young, the oldest is no more than seven years old and the youngest is less than five years old.
The reason why Han Cheng did this was not because he disliked these little guys being too noisy in the tribe, but because he wanted to train these minors into more qualified cavalry.
As a person who liked to read history before traveling through time, Han Cheng knew something about why the majority of nomadic peoples were natural cavalry.
The biggest reason is the living conditions.
Because these people have been in contact with livestock such as cattle, sheep and horses since childhood, many of them rode sheep when they were young and rode horses when they grew up. They can be said to have grown up on the backs of sheep or horses.
Under such circumstances, it would be strange if their riding skills were not good.
So Han Cheng wanted to follow suit and prepared to let this group of children follow Lao Yang and his friends to herd sheep, and they needed to ride on sheep more often during the herding process.
This can help the children get used to living with their feet off the ground from an early age and hone their riding skills.
They are used to riding sheep, and when they grow up they will be better able to ride donkeys.
Become a real donkey trooper.
Habits are really amazing things, especially those that are developed from childhood.
Just like Han Cheng himself.
Things like digging the ground with a hoe, carrying water with a shoulder pole, carrying cow dung to the vegetable garden, cutting grass with a sickle, and carrying wheat on the field with a wooden fork were all learned between the third and sixth grades of elementary school.
After I entered junior high school, I didn't do it often, and later on, I basically had no chance to do it anymore.
But even after so many years, these skills have not diminished, and after coming to this era, he still feels very comfortable doing these things.
Therefore, if the children in the tribe can be accustomed to riding sheep from an early age, then when they grow up, riding donkeys will not be unfamiliar to them.
Education should start from childhood, and the same applies to things like practicing horse riding.
On the other hand, following the old sheep to herd sheep at this time can let them experience the hardships of life and at the same time cultivate their herding skills, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
The children following Han Cheng were very excited when they saw the sheep in the sheepfold.
It is the nature of children to play, and riding a sheep is obviously a very fun thing.
In the past, if they wanted to ride sheep, they had to do it secretly. The adults in the tribe generally would not allow them to bully these livestock that could be killed for meat when they grew up.
But now it's different. The most honorable Son of God in the tribe has personally allowed them to ride sheep. How can they not be happy?
Now you can ride to your heart's content without having to worry about anyone stopping you.
Since Han Cheng, the Son of God, has spoken, people like Lao Yang would naturally not be objects.
But I need to bring more food today to eat at noon.
Even though these children are still small, their little stomachs can hold a lot of food.
"Take good care of them and don't let them get into danger."
Han Cheng gave instructions to the shepherds like Lao Yang.
Of course, the dangers he referred to were things like encountering wild beasts and falling into a deep valley.
As for ordinary bumps and falls, they are nothing at all. Children in primitive times were all very tough. They would not be so heartbroken and post on Weibo to seek comfort if they got a minor wound on their hand without going to the hospital immediately and the wound healed on its own.
"It's alright Shenzi, we will keep an eye on them."
The old sheep said with a smile.
Most people like children when they get old. Old Sheep also likes to get along with these children in the tribe and feels very comfortable being with them.
Sometimes he is a little naughty, but most of the time he is quite lovable.
After bringing some food for the minors to eat at noon, Lao Yang and his companions opened the fence door of the sheepfold and let the sheep out.
These sheep had already been domesticated and were accustomed to this kind of life, so as soon as the old sheep and his men opened the door of the sheepfold, they rushed out in a rush, led by the ram with two sharp-looking horns on its head, and walked outside consciously.
This ram is obviously the leader of the flock.
Unlike the other sheep, this leader sheep had a rope tied around its neck, with a stick tied horizontally below the rope.
The stick is not thick, about the thickness of a baby's arm, and not long either, about 40 centimeters long, roughly reaching the knee level of the sheep's two front legs.
This is called a sheep trip stick in Han Cheng's hometown. With this stick hanging here, there is no need to worry about the sheep running too fast, and it will be a lot easier to herd the sheep.
Generally speaking, as long as the head sheep is controlled, the rest of the sheep will obey.
One of the older children among the ones selected by Han Cheng saw the sheep coming out, shouted excitedly and ran over.
Just grab a sheep nearby and climb up.
But sheep are not so easy to ride. The sheep pulled by the child immediately started to struggle and jumped up and down, and in a few seconds it threw the little two-legged animal who tried to ride it to the ground.
The thing children are most afraid of is falling, and this is especially true for children in primitive times.
After being thrown to the ground by a sheep, crying is simply out of the question.
The little guy quickly got up from the ground and ran towards the sheep that had just thrown him off. After catching up with the sheep, he pulled it and continued to climb onto the sheep's back.
Inspired by this guy, the rest of the little guys couldn't help themselves and cheered and ran towards the flock of sheep that had not yet come out of the sheepfold.
As for the incident of the child being thrown off the sheep's back just now, they simply ignored it.
For them, these are really nothing. Who doesn't fall a few times a day?
The children were so enthusiastic that the sheep were frightened and they all dodged to the side, causing a small chaos in the flock.
However, such chaos will not affect the entire flock of sheep. With shepherds like Lao Yang and dogs who have learned to shepherd, these are not a problem.
After a while, when the sheep get used to being ridden and to the presence of the children, such chaos will no longer occur.
Han Cheng followed Lao Yang and the others out of the courtyard gate with the flock of sheep, and stood here watching them drive the flock away from the tribe.
Under Han Cheng's gaze, during the time they were walking from the yard to the outside, several children had already successfully climbed onto the sheep's back.
Han Cheng looked at this scene and smiled unconsciously.
"Dad, ride a sheep."
Little Pea, who came out with Han Cheng, looked at the group of children riding on the sheep and going away with the flock, and said with envy.
"You are still young. Wait for another year until you grow taller before riding a sheep."
Han Cheng smiled and rubbed his stupid son's head and said with a smile.
Then he looked at the giant panda lying on the ground not far away and rolling lazily, smiling and saying, "Go ride Tuantuan, Tuantuan is more majestic and domineering when riding."
So, Tuantuan, who was rolling around there and acting cute all the time, suffered the consequences and became an innocent victim.
Seeing this guy being pushed and shoved by Little Pea for a long time before he reluctantly stood up from the ground, and then carrying Little Pea on his back, the giant panda looking at him innocently, Han Cheng suddenly found that his conscience was actually a little painful.
As expected, being cute is the way to go, and everything else has to stand aside.
However, this kid of my family should not be too bad at riding in the future. After all, when he was still not able to walk steadily, he wanted to ride Tuan Tuan, the so-called iron-eating beast. This really started when he was a baby...
From time to time, across the fields, the sound of whips cracking the air could be heard.
This is a warning that shepherds like the old sheep give to these sheep.
Of course, sometimes this warning can also serve as a guide.
For example, now, the flocks of sheep are following the old sheep who is constantly cracking the whip.
After leading the flock to an area with good grass, Lao Yang and others relaxed their supervision of the flock and allowed them to graze there.
They only crack the whip when some sheep run too far and show signs of wanting to escape from the herd.
If the sound of the whip cannot make these lambs who want to lose their way wake up, some of the old sheep will bend down, pick up a stone, or a clod of earth or something like that, and throw it far away at the sheep.
Because they often herd sheep, these shepherds have become the best in the tribe in throwing stones with their bare hands, and they basically hit the target with every throw.
His accuracy is no less than that of teachers who throw chalk in later generations.
When these sheep are thrown at stones, they will basically jump on the spot for a while, then quickly turn around and run towards the flock.
However, unlike the tranquility of the past, the flock of sheep today seemed a little uneasy, especially the rams with horns on their heads.
In the past, they were the only ones who rode the ewes, but today everything seemed different.
A group of small two-legged animals mixed into the flock of sheep, and they wanted to climb on their backs for no reason. This was really hard for the sheep to accept.
But they don't have much to do with these little two-legged beasts...
Most children are immature and always do things for fun. In the first few days, they were very interested in following the old sheep to play in the vast world and riding on the backs of sheep. But after a few similar days in a row, they felt a little bored and didn't want to go anymore.
After Wu knew what these children were thinking, he became very angry. He took a cane and prepared to teach these little guys a lesson.
Unlike some parents in later generations who dote on their children without limits, Wu, who also loves children, is really decisive when it comes to taking action.
It's just like how he would hit his favorite rabbits to death one by one with a stick, and then skin them and eat their meat.
Han Cheng told Wu in detail about his idea of donkey cavalry and the method of training these children.
Although Wu had not yet fully understood the significance of the donkey cavalry, he felt that it was a very good idea after hearing what Han Cheng, the son of God, said.
So, when I saw these children didn’t want to ride sheep anymore after riding them for a few days, I got very angry.
This is a matter of great significance to the tribe. The Son of God has entrusted it to you. How can you not do it well?
Seeing the usually kind-looking witch in this state, the children were immediately frightened. Two of the timid ones even started crying.
These children in the tribe are usually very fierce when playing, with a wildness unique to this era, but they are really afraid of the adults in the tribe.
Especially the giants in the tribe such as Han Cheng, Wu, and the eldest brother.
Han Cheng saw this, but did not stop Wu's behavior. As a child, he was hit by a broom many times, so he knew that sometimes children really need to be beaten to loosen up their skin.
Many times this is much more useful than simple preaching. Simple preaching cannot have an impact on people, but the broomstick can actually hit the body and make people remember it.
Of course, this method must be accompanied by corresponding supporting measures. You cannot hit the player unconsciously, nor can you hit the player too often. If you hit the player unconsciously or too often for a long time, it will have a counterproductive effect.
Don't ask Han Cheng why he knows all this so clearly and can explain it in detail. It will hurt if you talk too much.
So, after the witch beat each of the children with two crutches, Han Cheng appeared here at the right time.
"Do you know why you were beaten?"
Han Cheng squatted down and looked at them, asking as kindly as possible.
"I know. We don't want to ride sheep..."
A child answered with sobs.
As people who have been exposed to Mandarin since childhood, these children have very high levels of Mandarin proficiency. After all, it is their mother tongue.
Han Cheng shook his head and reached out to wipe the tears from his face.
"That's true, but it's also a little wrong."
"Why do we let you ride sheep? This is not just for fun, but because if you can ride sheep skillfully, you will be able to ride donkeys better in time. You can even ride on a running donkey and wield weapons, draw bows and arrows, and attack those enemies who dare to invade our tribe and defend our tribe.
Do you want to become a hero in the tribe? Do you want to take up arms and defend our tribe when someone attacks it?"
After talking for a while, Han Cheng looked at the children who had just been beaten and seemed aggrieved or frightened, and raised his voice to ask questions.
This is why we cannot let the child be beaten blindly. That is, after the child is beaten, we should make them understand why they are being beaten and what they have done wrong.
Only in this way can the desired effect be achieved.
After all, beating people is not the goal; making them understand the truth is the goal.
After hearing what Han Cheng said, the children who had just been beaten immediately perked up.
Over the years, Han Cheng's conscious education on loving the tribe has been very successful. After Han Cheng linked riding sheep with defending the tribe and becoming a great hero of the tribe, these children who had been beaten immediately became different.
"think!"
"think!"
These children spoke one after another, with some determination and longing.
Even adults worship heroes, let alone children who are at the age of fantasizing.
"Very good! You are awesome! But just thinking about it is not enough. You also need to have the ability. Without the original ability, how can you protect the tribe and become a great hero?"
After Han Cheng affirmed these children, he asked some inspiring questions.
After being asked this question by Han Cheng, the children fell into deep thought and felt that what the Son of God said made sense.
"Now do you know why the witch beat you?"
Han Cheng asked again.
"Yes, it's because we didn't learn the skills well."
"Because by riding sheep, I can make great contributions to the tribe in time..."
Listening to the childish answers of these children, Han Cheng showed a hearty smile on his face, and the witch next to him also smiled with his mouth that was missing many teeth.
At the same time, some enlightenment arose in my heart.
From the Son of God's actions just now, he felt that he seemed to have learned something.
"Study hard in the future, learn skills and become a useful person to the tribe. If anyone doesn't study hard, I will beat him!"
The witch put away his smile and spoke to the children, slamming the cane in his hand hard on the ground, looking very intimidating.
Of course, for children, this alone is not enough. In addition to spiritual encouragement and the threat of a cane, they also need tangible rewards.
The carrot and stick approach is the best approach.
"You should study hard during this period. I will check your results after 20 days.
But time will give you a little competition to see which of you rides a sheep better.
The top three riders will be rewarded, and the bottom three will be penalized.”
Han Cheng spoke to them with a smile, and casually brought over the things about exams and rankings in future generations. After making slight changes, he announced it to the children.
Examinations, ranking according to the results of the examinations, and rewarding and punishing according to the rankings is a very good system.
After today's operation, the children in the tribe who were selected by Han Cheng to be trained as real donkey cavalry no longer said that they didn't want to ride sheep.
On the contrary, in the future, when the old sheep and the others went out to herd the sheep, they rode the sheep very seriously.
Becoming a hero in the tribe and defending the tribe are long-term goals, and getting rewards for being in the top three is the direction of recent efforts. However, compared with these two, not being in the last three and accepting punishment have the greatest impact on these children.
After all, children also care about their reputation, and no one wants to be outdone by others.
After learning about the conditions of these children from Lao Yang and the others, Han Cheng and Wu seemed very happy.
The following days suddenly became leisurely for Han Cheng. The most thing Han Cheng did was to stay at home in the tribe and be a stay-at-home dad.
Holding my little daughter and taking my son around the tribe.
After wandering around the tribe for a while, they would go out of the tribe and wander around in the fields surrounding the tribe.
Sometimes, they would catch some grasshoppers with Little Pea and the others to feed the chickens and ducks.
When you come across those that are big, keep them, pick off their wings, take out some of the internal organs from the pile, marinate them with salt, coat them with eggs, fry them in a pan, take them out and take a bite, the taste is so wonderful.
Crunchy and chicken flavor.
Little Pea, Little Xing'er and other minors in the tribe were excited when they saw the lively grasshoppers.
I even don't want to feed them to the chickens...
