The hunchbacked primitive people left with a lot of harvest and full of emotion.
Especially after seeing the mysterious and kind people of the Qingque tribe standing here and watching them leave, they were even more moved, even though they left with six less cows...
Only after the hunchbacked primitive people were out of sight did Han Cheng lead his men, leading the six newly acquired cows, bid farewell to the older female primitive people, and head towards Jinguan City.
The older female primitive was worried that Han Cheng and others, who came to their tribe for the first time, would not be able to find their way back, so she said she could give Han Cheng and others a ride.
Mao smiled and shook his head at her, then reached out and pounded his chest hard.
His strengths are not just the few things that the older female primitives know. Remembering the way is also his specialty.
Under the gaze of the older female primitives, Han Cheng and his group gradually disappeared from their sight.
On the way back, everyone in the Green Bird Tribe was extremely happy. They kept looking at the cows that were being led by them and walking with them, and they couldn't see enough of them.
Han Cheng was equally happy. He was holding the largest cow in his hand and walking with the crowd.
However, unlike most people in the team, he was still thinking about the news between the two tribes that he had learned from the hunchbacked primitive man.
Tree house, old priest, thatched house, witch, rice planting...
Through many inquiries to the hunchbacked primitive man, Han Cheng also had a more intuitive understanding of the number of people in the Red Tiger Tribe.
The number of people in the Red Tiger Tribe is probably between 2,000 and 10,000.
The main reason why the span is so large is that the hunchbacked primitive people could not count too many numbers.
Moreover, not all the people in the Red Tiger Tribe live together.
In addition to the places where the largest number of people gather, there are other residential areas nearby where people also live.
This is somewhat similar to the Qingque tribe.
However, unlike the Green Bird Tribe, the various tribes of the Red Tiger Tribe are not particularly far apart.
The Red Tiger Tribe has a large number of cattle. Although there are cattle in the tribe and the main food source is from planting and harvesting rice, the people of the Red Tiger Tribe have not developed ox-drawn plowing.
The cattle in their tribe are mostly used to carry things, and the rest are killed for meat...
Han Cheng felt calm as he kept thinking about the news about the Red Tiger Tribe and the Youchao Tribe.
Unknown things always cause panic in people. Once you know the details, you will no longer have such a feeling.
It will no longer give people a feeling of not knowing where to start as before.
At the same time, Han Cheng felt very satisfied with his decision not to allow the Youchao tribe to directly reach his tribe and know the location of his tribe.
Judging from the information obtained from the hunchback primitive man, it is unlikely that the Red Tiger Tribe will attack his tribe in the short term.
But there are some things that we must guard against. After all, the other party is quite civilized and has so many people.
Thinking about these things in his mind, Han Cheng moved forward with everyone.
The cows following behind them had indeed been domesticated. They seemed very calm and natural when they were led by them, without any panic.
Occasionally, one or two cows would raise their heads and let out a long "moo".
Hearing such sounds, Han Cheng felt relaxed all over, and even his mood became extremely wonderful, as if he heard the sound of nature.
Compared with the way here, it took a lot longer to go back, mainly because the cows needed to eat grass.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that they did not bring any fodder when they came.
If you have enough fodder, you can choose to feed the cows at night or at five in the morning.
This way you can travel more during the day.
When taking a rest during the journey, the cows can ruminate and digest their food, without any delay...
"They're back! They're back! Shen Zi and the others are back!"
Here in Jinguan City, the people who stayed in the tribe saw the Green Bird flag being erected and shouted with joy.
When the others heard the shout, they all looked towards the northwest of Jinguan City and immediately cheered even louder.
Some people who had nothing to do ran towards Han Cheng and others who had returned to greet them.
"Son of God, what is this?"
Mao Er, who came running over, saw the cow being led by Han Cheng and the others, and asked with some nervousness and anticipation.
"ox!"
Han Cheng said loudly, a smile already spreading across his face.
“We got the cow this time!”
He added with a smile, very happy.
Second Senior Brother, Mao and others also had smiles on their faces.
"ox?!"
Mao Er and some other people who came with him exclaimed in disbelief.
"Cow! Shen Zi and his friends brought back cows!"
Mao Er and others shouted loudly in the direction of Jinguan City, with excitement in their voices.
"ox?!"
Those who stayed near Jinguan City and had work to do became nervous when they heard the shouts of Maoer and others.
They exclaimed in surprise and no longer cared about what they were doing. They threw the tools in their hands to the ground and ran in the direction where Han Cheng and the others came from. They couldn't wait to see what the cow, which had already become famous in the tribe and had been anticipated by everyone for a long time, looked like.
The entire Jinguan City became boiling with excitement, and people ran over to watch the legendary bull.
Many people were frightened by the big size of the cow at first.
Such a big size is rarely seen in their daily life.
If they had not seen with their own eyes these cows being led by the Son of God and his men and being so obedient, they would not have believed that such large prey could be so honest and docile.
Compared to the people of the Qingque tribe who were as excited as if it were New Year's Day, these cows that came from afar seemed much calmer.
They stood here, blinking their huge cow eyes, looking at these big monkeys calmly, not understanding why they were so excited.
Two guys even took out a ball of grass from their stomachs, chewed it leisurely in their mouths, and acted as "spectacular spectators".
Just watching these monkeys that are not staying in the trees making a fuss here...
On the grassland outside Jinguan City, six cows, four big and two small, were grazing on the grass.
Next to them, donkeys that had already been fed were also eating grass.
In the past, these donkeys that were more active now seemed to be relatively quiet. They looked up at these huge animals, then looked at their own small bodies, and suddenly became even quieter.
In the past, they were the largest creatures in the tribe, but now that they have cows, they are immediately outshined...
"ha!"
The second brother shouted loudly, and Mao, who was standing in front leading the cow forward, pulled the rope tied to the cow's head hard and walked forward.
They were trying to use oxen to plow the fields.
In the tribe, except for Shitou, the odd one out, everyone else wanted to use cows to plow the fields, pull carts and do farm work.
Now that there are cows in the tribe, it is natural for us to give it a try.
It just so happens that the rice planting here has reached a certain stage and it is time to take a break, so this scene is what we have now.
Cows are animals with temper, otherwise there would be no such thing as cow temper.
It's okay to do things you are used to doing on a daily basis, but when you suddenly do something you have never done before, this characteristic will be highlighted.
Just like now.
The ox was pulling the plow for the first time and was extremely uncomfortable with this kind of work. It kept jumping around and the yoke fell off its body several times.
After being beaten several times, he stopped jumping like that and ended up standing there without moving.
It was so big and so strong that even though Mao had used all his strength to pull the rope straight, it still stood there motionless and even blinked its eyes a few times.
"Alas~"
After going back and forth like this for a while, Mao and Second Brother couldn't help but sigh.
This bull is big and very strong, but it is also difficult to control because of this.
Under such circumstances, using oxen to plow the land is more tiring than people digging the land with rakes.
"Don't use cattle to plow the land for now. It won't work this way. We need something to make it more obedient."
Han Cheng stood at the edge of the ridge and watched for a while. Seeing that his second brother and the others wanted to try again, he stopped them.
After hearing what Han Cheng said, the second brother and the others stopped their actions very obediently and took the yoke off the cow.
Then someone came from the front and pulled the cow out of the field with great force.
The cow was also smart. Once the yoke was removed, it immediately became much more well-behaved.
Several people were leading cows and followed Han Cheng towards the inner courtyard of Jinguan City.
"Don't tie it to a stake, tie it to a tree."
Han Cheng spoke up when he saw Mao tie the cow to a stake.
Mao followed his instructions and tied the cow to a big tree.
"Son of God, what should we do next?"
The second brother asked from the side.
They couldn't think of any good way to make such a big guy obedient.
However, since the Son of God said he has a way, then he must have a way. No one in the tribe will doubt this.
That was why Second Brother and the others did not even say much and directly started asking what to do.
"Cat's Ear, go cut a wooden thorn. It doesn't have to be too thick. The thickest part should be about the thickness of two thumbs."
Han Cheng spoke up to deal with Mao Er.
Mao Er took the order and left. Han Cheng thought about it and followed Mao Er away. After a while, the two came back.
Mao Er was holding a wooden spike in his hand, and Han Cheng was holding a small wooden stick about twelve or thirteen centimeters long and as thick as a middle finger.
Two grooves were carved with a knife at both ends of the wooden stick, about one centimeter away from the edge, for tying the rope.
In addition to these, Han Cheng was holding a rope in his hand.
This rope will be used as a rein later.
"Let's all work together to knock the cow to the ground. After it is pinned down so that it cannot move, we will tie up its hooves.
Especially here at the bull head, bring two more people to hold it down, and don't let it push anyone!"
After coming over with the tools, Han Cheng said to his second brother and others.
Everyone nodded.
According to Han Cheng's instructions, after lengthening the rope that tied the cow to the tree, the second brother and two other strong men came in front of the cow.
The second brother tightly grasped the reins on the bull's head with one hand and held the bull's left horn with the other hand.
Another person put his arms around the cow's neck, and the remaining person bent down and held the cow's left front leg with both hands.
After confirming that everyone was ready, Han Cheng gave some brief instructions and then said, "One, two, three, down!"
As Han Cheng said the word "fall", the three of them worked together and exerted their strength suddenly, directly flipping the huge bull to the ground.
The cow that was thrown to the ground mooed and tried hard to struggle up, but unfortunately its head and neck were held down tightly by the two brothers, so it couldn't get up at all.
The rest of the people nearby followed Han Cheng's instructions and rushed forward, pinning him to the ground.
There was a man who was experienced in tying up cows. He quickly tied the cow's legs together, and the cow immediately became much more docile.
Han Cheng took the wooden spike from Mao'er's hand, squatted near the cow's mouth, and first reached out to touch the cow's nostrils, finding the place where the flesh was thinner between the nostrils on both sides.
Then he put the tip of the wooden spike in his hand to the cow's nose and aimed it at the position he had just found.
"Harder! Hold it down!"
Han Cheng explained.
Everyone nodded vigorously and exerted great strength to hold down the bull.
Han Cheng no longer hesitated. He exerted force with the hand holding the wooden spike, and the sharp wooden spike went straight through the flesh wall between the two nostrils of the cow.
The pinned cow let out a scream.
I heard the donkey eating grass not far away suddenly tremble.
If they were not tied with ropes, and the other end of the ropes were not tied to wooden stakes nailed to the ground, these guys would definitely run away and stay away from this group of brutal humans.
Haven’t you seen people as big as cows being pinned to the ground and operated on like this?
With my small stature, how could I be their opponent!
Han Cheng ignored the cow's screams. He pulled out the wooden thorn with some blood on it from the cow's nose, and then passed the wooden stick he had prepared in advance through the hole he had just made.
Then use a relatively thin leather rope about 30 cm long to tie the two ends of the stick.
Both ends of the leather rope were firmly tied to the grooves at both ends of the wooden stick.
After doing these, a bull nose ring will appear.
Looking at the cow with a nose ring, Han Cheng suddenly found it much more pleasing to the eye.
In fact, it would be better to replace the leather rope on the outside with metal. Unfortunately, there is no copper mine here, so we can only use the leather rope for the time being.
