The sky is high and clear blue, and the sunlight shines down, making people feel warm.

If you don't look at the yellow leaves in the distance, you would have the illusion that it is spring.

Han Cheng sat on the grass, facing the waters that were somewhat yellowish but mostly green.

With the return of Han Cheng and others, the various water birds living near Jinguan City once again moved away and flew to a place at least one mile away.

Only some foolish and bold people, and some guys who are like goldfish and have only a few seconds of memory, dare to continue hanging around here.

In the distance, birds spread their wings and fly in the sky from time to time, and their chirping sounds can be heard from afar, making the afternoon time very quiet.

Fu Jiang lay beside Han Cheng, basking in the warm sunlight and accepting the tickling from his master, squinting his eyes in great comfort.

After a while, it would turn over, exposing its belly, and bite Han Cheng's fingers with its mouth, while its four legs would bounce around and play with Han Cheng.

Fu Jiang's belly has become quite big. It's unclear how many litters of puppies she is pregnant with.

Time passed quietly, and before we knew it, more than ten years had passed.

Fu Jiang, the little puppy who used to follow him for milk, has now become an old dog.

Its descendants have also multiplied and are developing along with the Qingque tribe, even faster than the Qingque tribe.

So much so that in recent years, they always have to find some less obedient dogs, take them to the wild, secretly strangle them with ropes, skin them and eat their meat, in order to reduce the number of dogs in the tribe and prevent them from becoming a disaster.

Han Cheng has no psychological pressure about eating dog meat. As long as the dog is not raised by him personally, there is basically no problem with it.

In order to prevent the dogs from becoming a burden to the tribe and not being able to be dealt with when the time comes, Han Cheng had long ago started to feed only Fu Jiang and the five little Fu dogs himself, and not feed the rest of the dogs.

Xiaofu got lost and became the wolf king in another place. Ever since the eldest brother and his friends met him once, there has been no news of Xiaofu since then.

Don't know if he's still alive now.

Han Cheng just treated it as if it was still alive, still the wolf king leading the wolf pack to hunt for food. When he had nothing to do, he would bully the little female wolf, and then howl at the moon in the language he taught it.

In other words, in the entire tribe, only Fu Jiang and Da Fu to Si Fu have the golden medal of immunity from death. The rest of the dogs, if they do not have the ability to herd sheep or deer, and are not very obedient, may disappear mysteriously.

There is actually nothing that can be done about this. These guys reproduce too fast. It was okay when their numbers were small at the beginning, but once their numbers increased, the reproduction speed was simply too fast.

Although they have basically switched to a vegetarian diet, if this method is not adopted to control the situation, they will definitely become a burden to the Qingque tribe.

As for driving away the dogs that could no longer be raised and letting them become stray dogs, Han Cheng had considered this before, but he eventually gave up.

In later generations, there were still occasional incidents of stray dogs injuring people.

These dogs in his tribe have not been domesticated for long, and they will return to their wildness even faster if they are released into the wilderness. If there are too many of them, they are bound to hurt people.

Han Cheng didn't want there to be more people in the tribe like Chen, whose ears were bitten off.

Heaven creates all things to nourish man. This is Han Cheng's view, especially in this era.

Compared with the huge number of animals, humans seem to be the species that should be protected.

After playing for a while with Fu Jiang, who was pregnant with an unknown offspring, and enjoying the quiet afternoon time, Han Cheng stood up and announced the start of work.

Following his order, everyone, who had taken a short break after lunch, took action again and continued their previous work.

Some people were assigned to search for and carry stones nearby in preparation for laying the foundation.

However, there are not many stones nearby, and a small number of stones can still be found, so it is not a problem.

But, it is obviously not enough to have less stones for the foundation.

This is a bit of a dilemma.

In order not to affect the progress, Han Cheng considered carefully for a while and decided not to use stones to build the foundation of the inner courtyard wall.

This is mainly based on the wall of the inner courtyard of the Qingque main tribe.

When the wall of the inner courtyard of the main tribe was first built, due to the simple conditions, there was no stone foundation. Now, eleven years have passed, and it is still usable and people can climb on it.

Of course, this is also related to the repairs that have been carried out in recent years.

But a wall of this level is sufficient for current use.

Of course, compared with the construction of the wall of the main tribe’s inner courtyard, there were also certain improvements and enhancements when laying the foundation.

There are mainly two points.

The first step is to use tamping tools to vigorously compact the excavated trenches.

The second is that the wooden stakes used to be nailed into the foundation and used as reinforcement are first burned in the fire to allow their surfaces to be carbonized to a certain extent before being nailed there.

After living in the primitive era for so many years, Han Cheng has also explored and learned a lot of little tricks that he didn't know before, such as the fact that wood with a carbonized surface is not easy to rot when buried in the soil.

In the evening, the older female primitives returned with their tribe members after collecting food again.

There is no doubt that they had collected delicious little fruits all day long, and except for a small portion they kept for themselves, the rest were renamed Qing.

All the Qingque tribe paid was a small amount of pottery that was already common in their tribe. This is the beauty of trade.

As the two tribes began to cook, the older female primitive people were undoubtedly once again deeply hurt by the Green Bird tribe.

The night fell completely, and Jinguan City fell into silence.

Inside the tent belonging to the Green Bird tribe, the older female primitive was lying inside without falling asleep.

This tent was temporarily lent to them by the people of the Green Bird tribe out of kindness so that they would not have to sleep outside at night.

These people are about to start their journey of working for the Qingque tribe. They will become glorious middlemen whose supply of goods is controlled by the Qingque tribe. It is only natural to treat them well.

Otherwise, if they get sick from the cold, who will continue to serve the Qingque tribe?

The older female primitive holding an exquisite pottery jar really couldn't sleep. She was in the tent, but her mind was outside the tent, such as the foundation for building a wall not too far from the tent, which was dug out by the people of the Green Bird tribe.

If they had not experienced it personally, the older female primitive people would have felt the same way as when they first saw the strange cave, thinking that it existed there naturally or had grown out of the ground. The cave was basically a large rectangular ditch.

But it is precisely because they have experienced this themselves that older female primitives find it even more incredible.

In their opinion, it was something that should not be accomplished by humans, but now it was easily accomplished by these people in a very short time, just the time she took to collect the small fruits twice...

Exquisite pottery, delicious salt, a wide variety of food, terrifying abilities... and this thing made of fur that people can sleep in...

What kind of tribe is this tribe called Qingque?

The older female primitive once again sighed in her heart...

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, another three days have passed.

The older female primitive people finally collected all the delicious little fruits they had just discovered, and used these newly collected delicious little fruits to exchange for some precious things from the Green Bird tribe.

"#￥￥WEe!"

The older female primitive, wearing a fish cage on her head and holding a large pottery jar, turned and shouted towards Jinguan City standing there, meaning that they would come back again.

The rest of the people were also reluctant to leave.

This was not only because they had seen many things that they had never dared to imagine before, but also because every time they had a meal, they could eat a gourd of delicious food given to them by the kind tribesmen...

As the older female primitives left, Jinguan City suddenly felt relaxed. Everyone no longer needed to hide anything and could fully let go and start construction.

As soon as the older female primitives left, Han Cheng had people start building some semi-cave circular houses within the inner courtyard wall that was under construction as temporary residences.

Minors who use fish cages and cards to obtain food can also use these two things to obtain food at will without worrying about being learned by people from other tribes.

Out of consideration for his own safety, Han Cheng temporarily did not allow anyone to develop the water area or open up paddy fields. Instead, he concentrated all his manpower and strength to build the inner courtyard.

Under such circumstances, the construction progress of the inner courtyard was extremely fast, and it can be described as changing every day.

Thirty-fifth day after the older female primitives left, the wall of the inner courtyard had been built.

The wall is three meters high and two and a half meters thick at the bottom. It gradually shrinks upwards and is only about one and a half meters thick at the top.

The entire inner courtyard is one hundred meters long and sixty meters wide. Although it is not as large as the inner courtyard of the main tribe, it is sufficient under the current circumstances.

After a few carpenters from Maoer installed the heavy wooden door on the gate, Han Cheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

With this inner courtyard, even if the tribe that also possesses bronze is really powerful and has a large number of people and finds here, his tribe will have the strength to fight and will not be as uncertain as before.

Of course, another prerequisite for making the inner courtyard a reliance for himself and others to live here is to dig two more wells in the inner courtyard to ensure sufficient water supply.

In this way, even if the tribe really came, they wisely chose to surround the inner courtyard and not launch an attack. With these two wells, their tribe would not be forced into a dead end due to water problems.

In order to build the inner courtyard as quickly as possible, Han Cheng urged everyone in the tribe to work quickly.

Now that the inner courtyard wall has been completed, it is time for everyone to take a good rest.

After all, humans are not machines. It is impossible for them to keep turning forever without knowing fatigue.

The right way is to combine work and rest, and to have both tension and relaxation.

Therefore, Han Dashenzi generously announced that he would give everyone three days off, allowing the tribesmen to move freely in this area.

After this decision was announced, cheers suddenly broke out here.

As a result, the stressful life suddenly became relaxed and time became leisurely.

Some people choose to lie down in the house and have a good sleep at this time to restore their spirit and physical strength. Those who are energetic will look for fruits and hunt animals around Jinguan City to contribute to dinner.

Two sheep in the flock accidentally bumped their heads against the stone in the hands of the second brother, and ended their short lives, contributing to the Qingque tribe's evening banquet...

Three days passed in a flash, and after a short rest, the people of the Qingque tribe became busy again.

A few people who knew how to make pottery continued to make pottery, while carpenters like Mao'er continued to carry axes, saws and other tools, making pottery.

Through their efforts, the number of carts began to increase.

All the carts that Jinguan City has now were made after coming here.

The main reason is that the mountain road is too rugged and the carts from the main tribe cannot be pushed over. Otherwise, everyone would have pushed the carts over and a lot more things would have been transported this trip.

As for the cart, Mao Er could also make it independently. In addition, Han Cheng had taken all these things into consideration when he came here, so he brought the most important axle with him, so it was not difficult to make.

Even after a while, Mao Er planned to make two donkey carts...

In the inner courtyard, some people began to dig the foundation, preparing to build houses for citizens to live in.

However, unlike the previous construction of the wall, Han Cheng did not let everyone except those who were responsible for obtaining food, herding sheep, making pottery, and using wheelbarrows participate in the construction of the house. Instead, he assigned more than half of the people to open up paddy fields in Shuize.

The paddy field work must be done quickly. Although there are mountains blocking this area, it won't be too cold in winter, but even if it is not too cold, it is still winter. At that time, going into the water barefoot to clean the paddy fields would be really a torture...

The location has arrived at the Qingque main tribe.

The autumn harvest has been completely completed. All the crops have been harvested and stored in the warehouse after being dried.

In the fields around the Qingque tribe, many people were turning the soil with tools. Bai Xuemei, who had harvested the last batch of autumn silkworms, seemed a little dazed and seemed to be troubled...
