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 naturally would not object.
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.
“你还小,再等上一年各个子长高一些了再去骑羊。”
韩成笑着在自己家的傻儿子脑袋上揉揉笑着说道。
然后顺手往不远处躺在地上在那里懒洋洋的打滚、一脸萌的大熊猫笑着说道:“去骑团团吧,团团骑起来更加的威武霸气。”
于是,在那里滚来滚去的没事老卖萌的团团就遭了殃,遭受了池鱼之祸。
看着这家伙被小豌豆费力的连推带攘的好一阵儿才不情愿的从地上站起来,然后驮着小豌豆一脸无辜的看着自己的大熊猫,韩成忽然间发现自己的良心居然有些痛。
果然,这会卖萌才是王道啊,其余的都要统统靠边站。
不过,自己家的这个小子,今后的骑术应该是不会太差,毕竟这小子走路还不太稳当的时候就想要骑号称食铁兽的团团了,这可真的是从娃娃抓起的……
原野之上,不时会有鞭子抽裂空气的炸响响起。
这是老羊他们这样牧羊人对这些羊发出的警告。
当然,有些时候这种警告也会成为一种引领。
比如现在,这些羊群就在随着不断炸响鞭子的老羊走动。
将羊群引领到一片草好的地方之后,老羊等人就放松了对羊群的监管,任由它们在这里吃草。
只有一些羊跑的太远,有想要脱群的迹象时,他们才会炸响鞭子。
如果鞭子的响动还不能让这些想要迷途的羔羊幡然醒悟的话,老羊他们中的一些人就会弯腰捡起一块石头,或者是土坷垃之类的东西,朝着羊远远的丢去。
因为经常放羊的缘故,这些个放羊的人徒手丢石头的本领几乎成为了部落里最强的那一批,基本上是一丢一个准。
准头不亚于后世丢粉笔头的老师。
而这些羊一般只要被丢到了石头,基本上都会在原地跳动一下,然后赶紧掉头往羊群这里跑。
不过与往日里的安详不同,今天的羊群显得有些不太安定,特别是那些头上长角的公羊。
以往只有它们骑小母羊的份,但是今天一切都显得不同了。
羊群里面混入了一群小两脚兽,而且还是有事没有就想往它们背上爬,这可就真的令羊难以接受了。
但偏偏它们又没有太多的办法去奈何这些小两脚兽们……
小孩子们大多都没有长性,做事情都是一新鲜,最开始几天,对于能够跟着老羊他们来到广阔天地之中来玩耍,以及骑在羊背上玩,有着浓厚的兴趣,但连续几天相似的日子过下来之后,就都觉得有些厌烦了,不太想去了。
巫知道了这些小孩子们的想法之后显得很是生气,拿着一根拐杖准备教训一下这些小家伙,让他们长长记性。
和后世有些无下限溺爱孩子的家长不同,同样很喜欢小孩子的巫,该动手的时候,是真的一点都不含糊。
就跟他拿着棍子一下一个的敲死喜爱的兔子,然后进行剥皮吃肉是一个道理。
对于驴子骑兵的设想,以及对这些孩子的培养办法韩成都是给巫详细的说过的。
巫虽然还没有想太明白驴子骑兵的意义,但听了韩成这个做神子的说好,就也觉得非常的好。
所以,见到这些孩子们骑了几天羊之后就不想骑了,就很是生气。
这可是对部落有着很大意义的事情,神子交给了你们,你们不办好怎么成?
看到平日里总是慈眉善目的巫这副样子,这些孩子一个个顿时就吓得不成,有两个胆子小的,甚至于还小的哭了起来。
部落里的这些孩子,平日里玩起来一个个也都是猛的不成,带着独属于这个时代的野性,但,是真的害怕部落里的大人。
尤其是韩成、巫、大师兄这些部落里的巨头。
韩成看到了这个情况,但并没有对巫的行为进行制止,小时候同样没少挨扫帚疙瘩的他知道,小孩子有些时候是真的需要揍一揍,松一松肉皮。
不少时候这比单纯的说教可是有用多了,单纯的说教长不到身上,扫帚疙瘩可是能够切切实实的抽到身上的,能够让人长记性。
当然,这样办法也要有相应的配套措施,不能晕打,同时也不能老打,晕打、老打,时间长反而会起到反作用。
不要问韩成为什么对这些了解的这样清楚,并且还能够说得一套一套的,说多了肉疼。
所以,等到巫对着这些孩子一人抽打了两拐棍之后,韩成适时的出现在了这里。
“知道为什么挨打吗?”
韩成蹲下身子看着他们,尽量和颜悦色的问道。
“知、知道。我、我们不想去骑羊……”
一个孩子抽抽噎噎的回答道。
作为从小就接触普通话的人,这些孩子们的普通话水平都非常的高,毕竟这对于他们来说,就是母语。
韩成摇了摇头,并伸手将他脸上的泪擦拭掉。
“说的也对,但也有些不对。”
“为什么让你们去骑羊呢?这并不是单纯的好玩,而是因为这时候能够骑羊骑得熟练了,到时间就能更好的骑驴子,甚至于还能做到骑在奔跑的驴子之上挥舞武器,拉开弓箭,攻打那些敢于进犯我们部落的敌人,保卫我们的部落。
你们想不想成为部落里的大英雄?想不想在有人来进犯我们部落的时候,拿起武器,来保卫我们的部落?”
韩成说了一阵儿之后,看着这些刚刚挨了打,显得委屈或者是恐惧的孩子,提高了一些音量进行询问。
这就是不能晕打了,也就是在孩子挨了之后,让他们明白为什么挨打,哪里做错了。
只有这样,才能起到应有的效果。
毕竟打人不是目的,让他们明白道理才是目的。
被韩成这样一说,这些刚刚挨了打孩子们,立刻来了精神。
这些年来,韩成有意识的进行爱部落的教育还是很成功的,在韩成将骑羊与保卫部落,以及成为部落的大英雄联系到一起之后,这些挨了打的孩子们立刻就变得不一样起来了。
“想!”
“想!”
这些孩子们先后出声说道,带着一些坚定与憧憬。
成年人们尚且崇拜英雄,更不要说这些正处在喜欢幻想年纪的小孩子了。
“很好!你们真棒!不过单单的只是想可不行,还需要有本领,没有本来的人,又怎么可能能够保卫部落,成为大英雄?”
韩成对着这些孩子进行肯定之后,又进行启发式的询问。
被韩成这样一问,这些孩子们一个个就陷入了思考之后,觉得神子说的很有道理的样子。
“那你们现在知道为什么巫会打你们了吗?”
韩成再次问道。
“是、是因为我们没有好好学本领。”
“是因为通过骑羊,到时间能够为部落做出大贡献……”
听着这些孩子带着一些稚气的回答,韩成脸上露出了开怀的笑容,一旁的巫也裂开少了很多牙齿的嘴,笑了起来。
同时,心里也有一些明悟升起。
从刚刚神子的这一番操作之中,他觉得自己好像又学到了一些什么东西。
“以后了好好学,学好本领了成为一个对部落有用的人,哪个不好好学,我还打!”
巫收起笑容对这些孩子说道,并将手中的拐棍用力的在地上顿了顿,看起来很有威慑力的样子。
当然,对于小孩子而言,单单是这些还不够,除了精神上的鼓励与拐棍的威胁之外,还需要有切切实实的东西进行奖励。
萝卜加大棒才是好办法。
“你们这一段儿时间了好好学,二十天之后,我会对你们的成果进行检查。
但时间会为你们举办一个小型的比赛,看你们谁骑羊骑得更好。
骑得最好的前三名会得到奖赏,最后三名则会得到惩罚。”
韩成笑着对他们进行说道,很随意的就将后世考试以及排名次的事情给搬了过来,稍微加以改动之后,向这些孩子们进行颁布。
考试,以及按照考试的结果进行排名次,并按照名次进行奖励与惩罚,这可是一个非常好的制度。
有了今天的这一番操作之后,部落里的这些被韩成选出来往真正的驴子骑兵方向培养的孩子们,再也不说不想骑羊的事情了。
相反,在今后的时间里,随着老羊他们出去放羊的时候,一个个骑羊骑得非常认真。
成为部落里的英雄,保卫部落是远大的目标,取得前三名的好成绩得到奖励是近期的努力的方向,不过相对于这两条,不成为最后三名,接受惩罚对这些孩子们的影响最大。
毕竟小孩子也是很要面子的,好端端的谁也不想被别人给比下去。
从老羊他们这里得知了这些孩子们状态之后,韩成以及巫都显得很高兴。
接下来的日子,对于韩成来说,一下子就变得闲适起来了,韩成做的最多的事情,就是宅在部落里当奶爸。
牵着小闺女,带着儿子在部落里转悠。
在部落里转悠上一段儿时间了,还会走出部落在部落周围的田野里晃**。
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...
