The autumn wind continues to blow, and from time to time some yellow or red leaves fall from the branches.

Around the cave of the one-eyed tribe where the female primitive person is located, people are still scattered here, carrying out activities such as picking fruits and fishing.

This was the second day after Second Senior Brother and Junior Brother Sha left here and headed for the nose ring and earring tribe.

The female primitives from the One-Eyed Tribe who had joined the Green Bird Tribe, as well as the remaining people, were also gathering fruits here.

Having lived here for a long time, they are more familiar with where fruits grow around here than others.

It is precisely because of their guidance that everyone can reap many fruits during this time.

The female primitives were still citizens of the Qingque tribe and were not listed as slaves by Han Cheng just because he dug up the old accounts of their leader.

On the one hand, it was because some time had passed since the incident, and that encounter was caused by them entering the other party's territory, resulting in the death of their leader and some others. It was also because of that encounter that the tribe has become what it is today, and the people of the Qingque tribe did not suffer any harm in that encounter.

On the other hand, there were only twenty-one of them left, and they were all women. Except for the female primitive named "Yu" by Han Cheng who had a child, none of the other minors survived.

Under such circumstances, it is extremely easy for these primitive women to integrate into a new tribe.

After all, they no longer have any other wishes, and there is no other way to go except to join their own tribe which seems to be more powerful and kind.

Han Cheng picked up a not fully ripe mountain fruit, washed it with water, put it in his mouth and took a bite. He squinted his eyes because of the sourness.

Adhering to the principle of not wasting food, Han Cheng squinted his eyes and reluctantly ate the remaining half. After spitting out the seeds, he turned around and looked towards the south.

The weather is fine at this time and the view is wide. Standing here, you can see the mountains in the south just by looking up.

Autumn has really arrived. Looking ahead, all you can see are mountains covered in red and forests dyed in all colors.

The colorful mountains are particularly beautiful.

Faced with such scenery, Han Cheng did not have much energy to appreciate it, because his mind once again drifted to Jinguan City and the rice growing beside Jinguan City.

Even if you have walked here once and are familiar with the route, it still takes about twenty days to start from here, cross the mountains that should be similar to the Qinling Mountains, and reach Jinguan City.

It was no wonder that he was anxious, for they had simply gone south a little late this time, and the longer they stayed here, the more precious rice would be eaten by birds.

After thinking anxiously for a while, looking at the vast mountains blocking the way ahead, Han Cheng suddenly had a bold idea in his mind.

His eyes moved back and forth between where he was standing and the mountains. The more he looked, the more he felt that this bold idea of ​​his was reliable.

His bold idea was actually very simple. He wanted to build a branch tribe near the entrance to the mountain.

The reason why such an idea came up was that Jinguan City was too far away from the Qingque main tribe.

The gap between the two is too big.

Not to mention other things, the fact that there is no fixed food supply along the way is enough to make people uncomfortable.

If they didn't have to worry about food, their journey would definitely be much faster, and the development of Jinguan City would also become faster.

At the same time, the existence of such a branch tribe can greatly strengthen the connection between the main tribe and Jinguan City, making them closely connected and more like a whole.

As for the main tribe and the Tongshan residential area also located in the north, if the climate had not deteriorated to a certain extent, Han Cheng would not abandon these two places and move everyone to Jinguan City in the south.

This is not only because the main tribe is where the Qingque tribe rose, and the management of the two places has taken a lot of effort from everyone, but more importantly, there is a salt mountain in the main tribe and a copper mountain in the copper mountain residential area.

Copper and salt are extremely important resources for the tribe, especially salt, which is absolutely indispensable.

With the existence of these two kinds of minerals, the main tribe and the Tongshan residential area cannot be abandoned just like that.

Until we find a source of minerals in the south that can replace these two places, it is impossible to completely abandon these two places.

Even if the winter becomes colder and longer, and humans cannot survive there, when the weather turns warmer, Han Cheng will still send people to these two places to develop the minerals there.

Therefore, it is really necessary to build a branch tribe here.

It doesn't have to be particularly big, as long as it can withstand attacks from other tribes and have the ability to protect itself.

And open up a piece of farmland here, produce enough food to satisfy the people living here, and provide food for people coming and going to eat and carry.

With such a branch tribe, the main tribe and the branch tribe can be more closely connected.

Whatever you do, it's convenient.

After thinking these things through, Han Cheng's anxious and depressed heart suddenly became calm and cheerful, and he felt as if his thoughts were clear.

After thinking about this idea over and over again in his mind, Han Cheng became more and more determined.

He withdrew his gaze from the mountains that were not particularly far away and set his gaze on the people working in the area.

When he first set out from the tribe, Han Cheng brought forty adult citizens, sixty adult slaves, and twenty minors who were able to participate in labor.

These are the people he is going to use to build Jinguan City.

Now, because of this accident, the entire team has suddenly become larger.

Twenty-one people, including a female primitive man and a baby in her arms, were obtained from the one-eyed tribe.

A total of sixty-three adults were obtained from the nose ring and earring tribes.

This is when Second Senior Brother and Junior Brother Sha have not returned yet. If the two of them lead the team back, the number of people obtained from the Nose Ring and Earring tribes will easily exceed one hundred.

Together with the twenty-one female primitives from the One-Eyed Tribe, the number of people they get this time will exceed the total number of their group.

With so many people, perhaps it is not necessary to bring them all to the south. Some of them can be left behind to start building new branch tribes here.

With more than 200 people, we are fully capable of building two branch tribes at the same time.

Especially when one of the tribes that needs to be built is a relatively small one.

After thinking about it back and forth for a while, Han Cheng's mood became more and more cheerful.

When he is happy, someone will become unhappy, like the tribal leader with a nose ring on one leg.

The reason why he became unhappy was that the leader of the God Tribe, who had been staring at the mountains in the south for a long time, took off and threw away the nose ring that he had worn for a long time and which symbolized bravery.

Not only his, but all the people in their tribe who wore nose rings had their beautiful nose rings taken off and burned in the fire.

Moreover, the leader of this divine tribe also told them through the dark-skinned man who was good at communicating that they were not allowed to wear nose rings in the future.

Because nose rings don’t look good at all.

If this had happened in the past, whoever dared to do this, even if he had a limp, the leader of the Nose Ring Tribe would still jump up from the ground and fight him to the death.

But now, things suddenly became different.

The one who did these things was the leader of the God Tribe, the one who could control thunder, and the one who all the people in the God Tribe had to treat with respect.

Such a person takes off his nose ring, and that's it.

Moreover, his unhappiness did not last long.

After his nose ring was taken off, he looked at the people from the God Tribe carefully, and then thought about the meaning that the people from the God Tribe had conveyed to them, that people with nose rings are ugly.

After some thought, and comparing the appearance of people from his own tribe with nose rings, he found that he and others with nose rings did not look very good indeed.

After having this thought in his mind, he felt more and more that wearing a nose ring was ugly.

I even felt a little inferior about the hole in my nose left by a nose ring.

In the days that followed, he always used his hands to cover the hole on his nose, intentionally or unintentionally.

This is a psychological state that the conquered often experience.

They will unconsciously worship many things of the conqueror and deny everything of themselves.

Looking at the leader of the Nose Ring Tribe who had removed his nose ring, as well as some other people from the Nose Ring Tribe, Han Cheng suddenly felt much more pleasing to the eye.

On the one hand, it is because of his inherent aesthetic views that he cannot appreciate this kind of beauty. On the other hand, he wants to save some unnecessary expenses for future generations.

With the development of the times, human beings progressed day by day. Later, when men and women formed a couple, it would not be like it is now. As long as the man is strong, he can attract the favor of countless female primitive people. At the carnival, he can become the most dazzling existence.

Later on, being strong or not becomes less important.

When choosing a spouse, women pay more attention to other aspects of the man.

In order to marry the woman and start a family, the man needs to show off his material resources as much as possible.

Not to mention the house you live in and the car you ride, just the jewelry for the wedding requires a lot of effort to prepare.

Gold earrings, gold rings, gold necklaces, gold bracelets...

If Han Cheng doesn't quickly kill the habit of wearing nose rings, he might develop the habit of not only having the other four pieces, but also a gold nose ring like this, or a diamond nose ring.

This is a bit too cruel for later generations, especially men.

Therefore, it is better to put an end to such bad habits.

After Han Cheng had made some small changes to the customs and habits of these people, he did not sit idle. Instead, he took Mao, the female primitive who was holding the child, and some other people, and left here, heading towards the majestic mountains in the south.

He wanted to find out the topography of the area and determine the location for building the branch tribe before his second senior brother and junior brother Sha returned.

In this way, after Second Senior Brother and Junior Brother Sha come back, he only needs to instruct them on some other things and make certain adjustments to the personnel. Then he can leave some people behind and take the rest to Jinguan City without wasting any more time here.

Time passed slowly as they groped their way through the place. At noon on the third day, the second brother led his men back to the one-eyed tribe.

In the evening, Junior Brother Sha also came back with his men.

Their trip went smoothly without encountering any difficulties. The people who led the way and those who stayed in the tribe were all very cooperative, or perhaps they could be called obedient.

The people who led the way were frightened by the 'Tribe of God' that they had imagined in their own minds. After hearing what they heard, the rest of the people who led the way back were also led into the trap, and they firmly believed that these people were from the Tribe of God.

In fact, many ghost stories that are popular today come from this source.

It’s like Han Cheng has experienced something like this before.

A child in their village, who was the same age as him, accidentally fell into the toilet when he went to elementary school.

At that time, rural schools had not been built, and the classrooms were still rows of tiled houses, not to mention toilets, which were all open-air latrines.

Let’s not even mention that noise.

The friend was also smart and knew that this was a shameful thing, so he insisted that it was the ghost that dragged him down by his legs and he did not fall down on his own.

Then the incident became even more sensational, so much so that Han Cheng and his friends went to the toilet in groups from then on, and after quickly finishing their work, they ran away.

It wasn't until he entered junior high school that his friend told him about this.

Then when they go to elementary school in high school, they can still hear the legend that there is a ghost in the toilet and once pulled a child into the pit...

Let’s get back to the topic.

After knowing that they were all doing well, Han Cheng also smiled.

Of course, another reason why he smiled was that Second Brother and his companions brought back a total of fifty-four people this time.

Although there are big and small, old and young, they are all human beings. Even the babies in arms can contribute to the tribe in a few years.

So far, Han Cheng and his team have gained a total of 138 people due to an accident. This is really an extremely unexpected big gain.

After initially settling the matter here, Han Cheng also began to talk to the two of them about establishing a new branch tribe nearby...
