“Squeak…”
On the top of the mountain wall, there was a squeaking sound, the branches and leaves were shaking, and a large group of monkeys were squeaking and shaking the branches vigorously.
It was a pity that the oranges had just bloomed and were far from bearing fruit. The monkeys could only call out randomly but could not pick things and throw them at Han Cheng and others like they did before.
Han Cheng made a weird face at the monkeys, then left with his men looking somewhat regretful.
It would be great if we could leave from here in autumn. We could trick these monkeys into giving us lots of oranges and bring them back to the main tribe for the people there to eat.
The people of the main tribe have never eaten oranges.
If Bai Xuemei, the woman who likes sour food, knew that there was a fruit that could compare to green apricots, she would definitely be very happy.
As Han Cheng thought about this, he couldn't help but touch the backpack behind him. In addition to gourd seeds, the backpack also contained some orange seeds.
In later generations, the phrase "Just stand here and don't move. I'll go buy you some oranges" has been ruined by netizens.
This led to the construction of railway stations, planting of orange trees and so on.
This time, Han Cheng felt that he might talk to Little Wandou and Little Xing'er about planting orange trees.
It is a real thing, not just talk to satisfy one's own desire.
Of course, he still knew about the saying "Oranges grown in the south don't grow well in the north". After all, "Yanzi's Mission to Chu" is so famous that he even studied it when he was a child.
Han Cheng knew that there was a high chance that he would not be able to grow an orange tree that could bear oranges in the tribe.
But this doesn't stop him from trying it this way. What if he succeeds?
After bidding farewell to this group of squeaking and complacent monkeys, Han Cheng and everyone else continued to move forward along the path they had previously opened up in the mountains and forests.
It is said to be a newly opened road, but in fact it is just a path made easier for people to walk by cutting down some grass and trees.
After entering the mountain, the whole road is still as difficult to travel as before.
However, compared with what Han Cheng heard later about the rugged and difficult roads in the Qinling Mountains, it seems to be better.
Han Cheng was not too surprised by these things. After all, it was unknown how far away this time was from the era of written records in later generations. Some changes in the terrain were extremely normal phenomena.
As they moved forward, many mountains and valleys were gradually left behind...
Spring plowing is underway here in the Qinling sub-district.
Junior Brother Sha was holding the plow cart with both hands, and there was someone walking forward leading a donkey.
The plow cart moved forward as the donkey moved forward. Seeds flowed out from the eye of the bin, scattered into the three hollow plow legs, and fell into the opened land.
Junior Brother Sha, who was operating the plow cart, would look down at the warehouse hole from time to time. If he found that the seeds were flowing down slowly, he would shake the plow cart vigorously left and right.
Not too far away, the second batch of millet sown had already emerged from the ground, and the tender yellow leaves looked extremely beautiful.
“God, Son of God! It’s the Son of God! The Son of God and the others are back!”
Junior Brother Sha, who was sowing seeds seriously, suddenly heard someone shouting like this, with excitement in the voice.
Junior Brother Sha couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. The Son of God is back?
How is this possible!
When he left before, the Son of God clearly said that he would not return from Jinguan City in the south until the autumn harvest. Now he and others are still doing spring plowing here, how could the Son of God and his companions possibly come back?
Is this person dazzled?
Thinking this in his mind, Junior Brother Sha couldn't help but turn his head and look towards the south.
I saw a group of people emerging from the mountains and walking slowly towards me.
In the team, there was a green bird flag flying high.
Son of God! It really is the Son of God and his friends!
Junior Brother Sha exclaimed in his heart.
Junior Brother Sha, who had just been thinking that it was impossible, became as excited as everyone else.
He immediately ordered the man in front who was leading the donkey to stop, stop sowing, let go of the trolley, and rushed towards Han Cheng and others who appeared in the distance.
The entire Qinling tribe was in an uproar over this.
But after running for a while, Junior Brother Sha suddenly stopped.
He looked from afar at the team returning with the Green Bird flag. He seemed a little silent, and his heart was gripped tightly.
Because compared to when we went there, there are so few people coming back this time, not even half of the number when we went there!
It's hard not to associate it with something bad.
"Son of God!"
After staring at the team in the distance for a while, Junior Brother Sha suddenly shouted and ran towards the south like crazy.
Some people also noticed that the number of people returning was too small. When they heard Junior Brother Sha's shout and saw his appearance, they also felt worried.
After standing here for a moment, he ran towards the south like crazy...
“God, Son of God!”
When he got closer and saw Han Cheng was safe and sound, Junior Brother Sha suddenly felt relieved, and was filled with a kind of surprise after a disaster.
He looked at Han Cheng who was walking towards him quickly and shouted.
Then he went towards Han Cheng, panting.
He didn't feel tired just now, but now he felt that he had no strength in his body, and his arms and legs were a little weak.
"We are back."
Han Cheng didn't know what kind of psychological process Junior Brother Sha had just gone through. He just thought that he was so surprised to see him and others come back unexpectedly.
He walked up to Junior Brother Sha, shook his hand, and said to him with a smile.
Junior Brother Sha looked Han Cheng up and down several times at close range before he was finally sure that Han Cheng was indeed not hurt.
"Son of God, where are the others?"
Junior Brother Sha asked, and after asking this, his heart couldn't help but rise again.
"They all stayed in Jinguan City, where they planted rice and couldn't leave. This time we were the only ones who came back."
Han Cheng said with a smile.
“Huh~”
Junior Brother Sha let out a long breath, and the other people who came to greet him also let out a long breath.
Seeing them like this, Han Cheng couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then he roughly understood why they had such a reaction just now, and his heart couldn't help but feel warm.
"It's okay, we're all fine!"
He smiled and spoke to Junior Brother Sha and the others to emphasize this.
Then he pointed his hand back and said with a smile: "Look, what is this! We got the cow this time!"
After following Han Cheng and the others through these mountains and hills, these cows looked a little miserable. Their hair was much longer than before, and their number had also decreased, from six to five.
One of the big cows accidentally fell into a ditch several meters deep beside the road while walking and broke its leg.
Han Cheng saw that it couldn't walk and looked so miserable that the kind-hearted Son of God wanted to cry.
In order to save it from suffering some difficulties, Han Cheng simply had someone kill it quickly.
Of course, as a person who enjoys helping cows, Han Cheng also had his first beef since coming to this world...
Han Cheng felt extremely distressed about the lost cow, after all, it was a creature that could give birth to a calf.
However, when he saw the half-grown bull, he became even more fortunate.
Fortunately, it wasn't this guy who fell, otherwise all the cows who came to the main tribe would have to be widows...
"ox?!"
Because of Han Cheng’s previous publicity, the people of the Qingque tribe have a deep obsession with cattle.
After hearing Han Cheng's answer suddenly, the reactions of Junior Brother Sha and others were the same as those who stayed in Jinguan City and did not follow Han Cheng and others to trade with the hunchbacked primitive people. They were all extremely surprised and incredulous.
Following Han Cheng's instructions, their eyes eagerly fell on the cow following behind them...
"You guys work hard here. After a while, I will bring people through here..."
After staying in the Qinling residential area for three days, resting well and replenishing some food, Han Cheng led his men on a journey again. Before leaving, he said this to Junior Brother Sha and the others.
During these three days, Han Cheng spent half of the time sleeping here to replenish the physical strength consumed in crossing the mountains, and the rest of the time he visited the Qinling section with Junior Brother Sha and others.
As for the construction of the Qinling section, Junior Brother Sha strictly followed Han Cheng's previous instructions.
That is to build the inner courtyard first, and then open up as much farmland as possible.
Today, through the unremitting efforts of Junior Brother Sha and his colleagues, this place, which was originally just a wilderness, not only has houses, but also large tracts of farmland.
It's about eight or nine hundred acres.
Moreover, more than half of the newly opened farmland has been planted with millet.
This speed was faster than Han Cheng had expected.
It can be imagined that after the millet in these fields is harvested this autumn, this place will be able to be self-sufficient without relying on the support of the main tribe.
In another two years, after the amount of farmland here is expanded, we will get more millet.
Han Cheng was not stingy with praise and highly praised what Junior Brother Sha and the others had done.
Hearing this, Junior Brother Sha and the others were all smiling happily, feeling that their previous hard work was not in vain. They were full of energy and were ready to make this place even better.
"Son of God, if there aren't enough people, we'll go there when the time comes. Jinguan City belongs to our tribe. No matter how many people that tribe has, we can't take it away."
Junior Brother Sha looked at Han Cheng and said very seriously.
"Yes, Son of God, Jinguan City is ours, no one can touch it!"
The others spoke up to answer.
During these few days, Han Cheng also talked to Junior Brother Sha and the others about the new changes that occurred in Jinguan City this year, as well as the main thing he wanted to do by coming back early this time.
That's why they say this now.
"Well, Jinguan City is ours! If there are too few people we bring this time, I will definitely select some of you to go to Jinguan City with me!"
Han Cheng nodded vigorously and said to Junior Brother Sha and the others.
After saying a few more words, Han Cheng did not stay here any longer. He set off again with the rest of the people who had returned from Jinguan City and headed towards the main tribe.
This time, what he wanted to do was a bit difficult. If he didn't do it well, it might take a lot of time, so he had to hurry up.
Han Cheng always felt a little uneasy as he only left his second senior brother and Mao to guard Jinguan City.
After resting in the Qinling section, everyone regained a lot of energy and became more energetic. In addition, most of the way back from here was relatively flat, so everyone moved very fast.
Han Cheng couldn't help but feel that his previous decision to build the Qinling Division here was wise.
If the Qinling Division hadn't been there, this trip wouldn't have been so easy...
"Son of God! Son of God and the others are back!"
Shouts of surprise echoed across the fields surrounding the vibrant Qingque tribe. Because of the return of Han Cheng and others, the entire Qingque tribe was in an uproar.
Everyone was as happy as if it were New Year's Day.
The older Little Pea rushed over like a cannonball and dived into Han Cheng's arms, while the younger Little Xing'er seemed a little shy.
He hugged the two little guys and poked their faces with his bearded mouth. Seeing the disgusted looks on the two little guys, Han Cheng couldn't help laughing.
The identification is complete, this is the biological father.
Then came his sister Snow White, who was looking at him with a smile and rosy cheeks.
Han Cheng let go of the two little guys with a smile, then stood up and rubbed Bai Xue's head with his hands.
Then I saw the witch who laughed and said he couldn't see his eyes...
Han Cheng's eyes swept across everyone's faces, and all he saw were familiar faces with smiles.
However, he did not see Heiwa among these faces.
You know, when he came back in the past, Heiwa ran very fast and was always among the first to reach him.
Just as he was about to ask Wu and the others where Heiwa had gone, he heard someone shouting, "Son of God! Son of God!"
The voice was exactly Heiwa's.
After hearing Heiwa's voice, the people in the main tribe seemed to remember something all of a sudden.
Everyone separated to both sides and made way.
Heiwa, holding something in his arms, was running towards this side, panting and with an excited look on his face.
What he was holding in his hands was porcelain.
The reason why he came so late this time was that after learning the news that Han Cheng had returned, he ran back specifically to bring the porcelain, wanting to tell Han Cheng the good news as soon as possible.
"This is... porcelain?!"
Looking at what Heiwa was holding in his arms, Han Cheng, who was smiling, suddenly widened his eyes and his face was full of surprise.
This surprise lasted for a while and then turned into joy.
He hurriedly took a few steps forward to greet Heiwa and carefully took the porcelain from his hands.
The people of the main tribe looked expectant, and seeing Han Cheng's reaction, they all smiled happily...
