"God, Son of God, I'd better walk by myself. No, I won't ride a donkey. Riding a donkey will hurt my butt..."
Originally, under the deep love and care of the three giants of the tribe headed by the Son of God, Maodu wanted to grit his teeth and accept this deep love.
But thinking about the last experience of riding a donkey, and recalling the sour and refreshing feeling that penetrated his soul, Mao still plucked up the courage to refuse and stated the reason.
Butt pain?
After hearing the reason given by Mao, Han Cheng was stunned. How could riding a donkey hurt his butt?
It doesn't hurt anymore, my butt is on the tree!
After being stunned for a moment, Han Cheng really wanted to say this to Mao.
However, considering that Wu, the eldest brother, Mao and others had not watched "Let the Bullets Fly", they could not get the point of this sentence, so they swallowed the words back.
"Why would my butt hurt when I ride a donkey? Isn't the donkey's back soft?"
Han Cheng asked Mao with some confusion.
"Riding on a donkey, it runs, then, then..."
Mao scratched his head and wanted to explain this matter properly, but he couldn't remember how to express it for a moment.
At this moment, he caught a glimpse of some donkeys eating grass in an open space not far away, and there was a gleam of enlightenment in their eyes.
"You'll know after you ride it."
Mao pointed at the donkey and said this to Han Cheng.
Just ride.
Since getting these donkeys from the tribe, Han Cheng has never ridden these animals. Now that Mao said this, his curiosity was aroused. He really wanted to see what secrets these unprepossessing but hardworking guys had.
After thinking about it, he nodded and agreed.
After seeing Han Cheng agreed, Mao went over to lead the donkey very considerately.
Han Cheng looked at the surrounding terrain and saw that the surrounding area was basically all fields. The only open space where the donkeys were staying was a good place to ride donkeys, so he immediately followed Mao and went there.
Wu and the eldest brother also walked over there, wanting to see the Son of God riding a donkey.
Mao was very considerate and found a donkey for Han Cheng that looked the most majestic and powerful among the group, and then led Han Cheng to ride it.
A donkey with no back is indeed difficult to ride. Even getting on it is difficult. You need to find a stone or a ridge to step on before you can climb onto the donkey's back.
Mao was leading the donkey in front, preventing it from moving. Han Cheng stepped on the ridge of the field and climbed onto the donkey's back.
Donkeys are not easy to ride. Apart from other things, the bare donkey back and the uncomfortable feeling of having your feet off the ground with nowhere to gain support are enough to make people who ride a donkey for the first time feel embarrassed.
Han Cheng climbed on the donkey's back, clamped his legs tightly around the donkey's body, and involuntarily wanted to lean forward and hug the donkey's neck.
Fortunately, these donkeys had been tamed as early as when they were in the semi-agricultural tribe. After coming to the Qingque tribe, they had frequent contact with humans. In addition to their original job of carrying people, they had also learned skills such as pulling plows, harrow carts, and carts. Moreover, Mao was leading the donkeys in front to prevent them from moving, otherwise Han Cheng's operation might have frightened the donkeys.
After sitting on it for a while and getting a little used to the feeling, Han Cheng asked Mao to lead the donkey for a few steps to have a look.
He hugged the donkey's neck to prevent himself from falling.
At the same time, I also paid attention to the feeling on my buttocks. I just felt warm sitting on the donkey's back, and I didn't feel any pain in my buttocks.
After a while, Mao led the donkey to speed up the pace, changing from walking to trotting.
After increasing the speed, Han Cheng suddenly understood why his butt hurt when riding a donkey. It was not because the donkey's back was too hard, but because as the donkey's speed increased, the person would involuntarily be thrown off the donkey and then fall down, coming into close contact with the donkey's back.
It's okay if it lasts for a short time, but if it lasts for a long time, it will really be unbearable.
Riding a donkey is not easy either, because you need to use your legs to hold the donkey's body tightly and prevent yourself from falling off the donkey at all times. You cannot relax at all times.
After riding for a while, Han Cheng felt a little tired. This consumed much more energy than walking.
Of course, this also had a lot to do with the fact that it was his first time riding a donkey and he was not familiar with anything.
If you become skilled at riding, you will be able to do much better.
However, the biggest reason is that the donkey is missing two accessories, the saddle and the stirrup.
If you have these two things, people can save a lot of energy when sitting on them.
Not to mention anything else, just having something to leverage your feet is enough to make people relax a lot more and feel more confident.
This is just like when a person walks along a frame at high altitude. As long as he can hold on to something with his hands, he will feel very safe.
Except air, of course.
In the past, Han Cheng did not invent saddles and stirrups. On the one hand, the tribe's livestock were donkeys rather than horses. On the other hand, the donkeys in the tribe were used for plowing and pulling carts for a longer time and were ridden less often.
That's why he didn't put too much effort into it.
Now, after riding this bareback donkey himself, Han Cheng immediately realized the importance of these two things.
He also had the idea of getting it out immediately and installing it on the donkeys in the tribe, and he did not feel deeply regretful for not getting it out as soon as possible.
"Son of God, does your butt hurt?"
Looking at Han Cheng, who was getting off the donkey with the help of the ridge of the field, his legs trembling slightly, Mao asked.
And he was glad that he wouldn't have to ride a donkey next time.
"It doesn't hurt, but it's just too tiring to ride.
I'll get two things and put them on the donkey's back when I get back, and it will be comfortable to ride. But when you go out with a donkey like this, I guarantee there will be no problems."
Han Cheng pushed his legs hard which were shaking from exerting too much force, and said to Mao with a smile who looked hopeful.
Hearing Han Cheng say this, Mao's face suddenly became bitter. He knew that he could not escape the fate of riding a donkey.
However, while feeling sad about what he was about to encounter, Mao also felt a sense of anticipation rising in his heart.
Everyone in the tribe knows what the Son of God is capable of.
Now the Son of God says that he can make two things and put them on the donkey's back to make the donkey easier to ride and no longer as uncomfortable as before. That must be true.
If this is true, then it is not impossible for me to follow the leader north on a donkey.
Wu and the eldest brother were also very curious about the two things Han Cheng mentioned. They wanted to know what these two things looked like and why they could have such a great effect.
So, several people stopped hoeing the fields and followed Han Cheng back to the tribe.
Those who can rise to the level of a big boss in the tribe are so willful and do whatever they want.
Before returning to the inner courtyard, I could hear the sound of blacksmithing coming from afar.
"Son of God, the Meteorite Hammer is ready!"
As soon as Han Cheng and his group walked into the inner courtyard, they were spotted by the second senior brother who was a blacksmith, and his excited voice rang out.
"Done?!"
Han Cheng asked back, then quickened his pace and walked towards the blacksmith's furnace.
Wu, the eldest brother, Mao and a few others who wanted to see the donkey saddle and stirrup earlier also came here one after another, wanting to see the effect of the hammer made of meteorite iron that the Son of God valued so much.
There were four bronze hammers with dents on the heads lying next to the blacksmith furnace. These were the ones that the second senior brother had broken when he was forging the meteorite hammer not long ago.
At this time, the second brother was no longer holding a bronze hammer, but a freshly made meteorite hammer.
The entire hammer is in the shape of a hexagonal prism with a hole in the middle, in which the wooden hammer handle is installed.
The whole hammer looks a bit irregular. On the one hand, it is because Second Brother's craftsmanship is limited, and on the other hand, the bronze hammer used for hammering was not good enough.
However, such a hammer is sufficient for forging iron.
Wait a minute and let the second brother knock out a smaller meteorite hammer, and then use the smaller meteorite hammer to trim this big hammer, so it will look better.
It is still very necessary to forge a small meteorite hammer. After all, there are many jobs that a big hammer cannot do.
Han Cheng took it from his second brother and held it in his hand to feel it.
The newly forged hammer looked smaller than the previous bronze hammer, but it was no lighter than the bronze hammer.
It's even heavier than that.
"How is it? Is it easy to use?"
After Han Cheng took it in his hand and felt it for a while, he handed it back to his second senior brother and asked with a smile.
"It works great. It works great."
After hearing Han Cheng's question, the second senior brother immediately spoke up, with excitement in his voice.
It happened that there was another piece of meteorite iron burning red in the furnace at this time. He no longer told Han Cheng how useful the meteorite hammer was. Instead, he took the bronze pliers on the side, took out the piece of meteorite iron, put it aside, and then started hammering.
So, the banging sound of iron, which had been paused for a while, started again.
"Look, using a meteorite hammer to forge iron not only makes it faster, but the area hit by the hammer is also very flat..."
After hammering for a while, the second brother pointed at the iron block that had become difficult to forge because it had been out of the hot furnace and the temperature had dropped, and said to Han Cheng.
Han Cheng looked over following the guidance of his second senior brother and found that it was indeed the case. The place that was hit by the iron hammer seemed relatively flat, unlike the place that was hit with the bronze hammer. The same small protrusion needed to be hit many times with the bronze hammer before it could be moved down.
"Good! You did a great job! Find a smaller piece of meteorite and make a smaller hammer, which will be used to make the other tools later.
After you have made the tools for blacksmithing, you can then make the other tools, so that you can do it quickly and well. "
After checking the results, Han Cheng praised his second senior brother highly and also gave him some suggestions for his next work.
Of course he agreed.
"You two don't have to hold on so tightly. Take a break after forging for a while. There is still a lot of meteorite iron and a lot of tools that need to be forged. The work cannot be completed in one day. Don't get too tired."
After finishing the instructions, Han Cheng gave another instruction.
The two nodded and said they were not tired at all.
After Han Cheng and the others left, the two of them worked even harder.
Han Cheng heard the sound of iron hammering coming from behind and couldn't help but smile helplessly. If he had known this would happen, he would not have explained it.
After returning to the house and taking a pen and paper, Han Cheng came to the office in the large blue brick and tile house. He sat on a stool, spread out the paper, and began to slowly sketch the saddle on the paper according to his memory.
This process is not easy and is very time-consuming.
Wu and a few others watched quietly from the side for a while, and seeing that this was not something that could be completed in a short time, they quietly left one after another to do other things.
Mao went to make preparations for another long journey, while Wu and the eldest brother were also there discussing how many people should be brought with them and what things they needed to bring.
After talking like this for a while, they asked people to call back some of the people who were hoeing the fields outside and start preparing food.
"Prepare some more leggings. These are so useful."
Mao offered suggestions and strongly advocated leg wrapping.
This long journey allowed him to fully experience the benefits of leg wraps.
In the past, after a long trip, the calves would inevitably swell and ache, and it was also very easy for the calves to be injured by thorns.
But this time, thanks to the leggings that the Son of God had him and others wear, all these injuries were avoided.
Except for the first few days which were a bit uncomfortable, the rest were all good things with no disadvantages.
This legging is so useful that of course I will strongly recommend it to my senior brothers when we go out this time.
The eldest brother and his companions would naturally not forget the artifact for long-distance travel created by the Son of God. After hearing what Mao said, they immediately asked people to prepare it.
In the midst of this busyness, people in the tribe gradually learned that in the near future, there would be a long journey led by the eldest brother.
Moreover, the purpose of the journey was to bring those who had attacked their tribe before and those who were left in their original tribes to their own tribe and make them slaves.
At the same time, we should also look for the kind of black-looking, heavy-feeling stone called meteorite iron by the Son of God.
I heard that this black stone called meteorite is a very good material for making tools. The tools made from it are better than those made from bronze.
After learning this, everyone in the Qingque tribe suddenly became happy.
Not only the citizens of the tribe were happy about the news, but even the old slaves in the tribe were particularly happy.
Because past experience told them that as long as there were enough new slaves entering the tribe, the number of people who were freed from slavery and became tribal citizens would also increase.
So many slaves had suddenly flooded into the tribe before. If more people were brought back to their tribe and made slaves, wouldn't more people be freed from their slavery?
After becoming slaves, they could enter and leave the tribe freely, go to the inner courtyard that they could not easily go to, and live in tiled rooms that were much more spacious and brighter.
And they can eat the same good food as the citizens.
Moreover, in addition to hard work such as farming, hoeing, felling trees, and burning charcoal, you can also learn and get in touch with some more advanced technologies, such as pottery making, carpentry, and weapon manufacturing...
At the beginning, there were no restrictions on these jobs for the slaves in the tribe. They could learn and do these jobs just like the citizens of the tribe.
But later, as the number of slaves and citizens in the tribe increased and the citizens of the tribe were able to accomplish these things, Han Cheng added these restrictions.
With these restrictions, the difference between slaves and citizens in the tribe will become more obvious, and people can easily feel the difference between the two.
It is a very useful thing to draw a clear line between slaves and citizens in the tribe and to widen the gap between citizens and slaves.
After doing this, not only did the citizens of the tribe feel proud of being citizens of the tribe after comparing their living conditions with those of the slaves, but the slaves also became more eager to become citizens of the tribe, hoping that they could accomplish this feat of transforming from a carp into a dragon.
After all, becoming a citizen means that you will enjoy many things, not only materially but also spiritually, which will make people feel proud.
How can one become a citizen of the tribe?
That requires us to work harder and contribute more to the tribe on a daily basis.
At the same time, we must become more obedient...
Not only the old slaves were happy, but most of the slaves who had lived in the Green Bird Tribe for a little over two months were also very happy.
After living here for more than two months and gradually getting used to the living habits and rhythm of the Qingque tribe, these people have slowly come to like this lifestyle.
Life here is a bit tiring, but it is far away from danger. There is no need to go out hunting, and there is no need to worry about tribes like the evil Blackrock Tribe, who would beat them up with Blackrock weapons and force them to sacrifice the precious food they worked hard to get.
Here, you will not be bullied by people from other tribes, and you will never be killed by people from other tribes.
Living in the Qingque tribe, as long as you follow the arrangements of your superiors and complete what you are supposed to do, you will not be punished, and you don't have to worry about going hungry.
Moreover, if you complete the task well, you can get some rewards.
For example, a pair of shoes made of animal skin, or a bowl of delicious food that is much better than the vegetable porridge you usually eat.
In the Green Bird Tribe, as long as you are obedient and work hard, you can live a good life.
Moreover, there are houses here, as well as the extremely magical kangs that the people of the tree bark or the tribe where the tree bark lives. When the weather gets cold in winter, they are no longer afraid of the cold, let alone worrying about being frozen to death.
Moreover, even if the weather gets colder, there is no need to worry, because the extremely wise Son of God has led people to find a place where the weather will not be particularly cold no matter how cold it gets.
Such a good life, such a secure life, is their original way of life, what the tribe cannot give them, and what they have never experienced before.
Moreover, if you can perform well in the tribe and make great contributions to the tribe, you can also become a citizen of the tribe!
Truly integrate into this tribe and enjoy that incredibly wonderful life.
Not to mention anything else, the fact that they eat on a daily basis is much more delicious than the vegetable porridge they usually drink is enough to make them work hard for it.
Not to mention, after becoming a citizen, you can engage in many seemingly magical jobs.
Many of them want to learn how to make beautiful pottery...
It is not easy to live such a safe, affluent and hopeful life by yourself. It would be better to bring people from the original tribe over to live such a life together.
They can imagine that after the people from the Time Tribe come here and experience this kind of life, they will definitely be very excited, and will fall in love with this kind of life and this tribe called Blue Bird, just like them.
Moreover, the people living in the original caves really needed to be brought in, because if they were not, many of them would die in the winter.
In fact, after settling down here, many people have had the idea of bringing the remaining people in the tribe over to live with them.
However, no one dared to bring it up.
Because they understand that the people who remain in their original tribes are basically adults who are in poor health or not strong enough, as well as more minors.
These people can't do much work, and no matter which tribe they are from, they won't be too happy to have such people.
So no one dared to talk about this matter.
But now, the citizens of this tribe are doing this spontaneously. How can this not make them happy?
I heard that this matter was proposed by the wise Son of God.
After learning this, the new slaves' respect for the wise Son of God grew rapidly.
I feel that when calling the Son of God, simply calling him wisdom is not enough, we should also add the word kindness in front of it.
These people had all been enslaved and oppressed by the Blackrock Tribe, led by their leader, and had experienced even worse lives.
Once upon a time, many of them thought that those tribes with powerful strength would bully the weak tribes around them just like the Blackrock Tribe.
But after living in the Green Bird Tribe for a while, they realized that not all powerful tribes were like the evil Black Stone Tribe.
The Green Bird Tribe, which is much more powerful than the Black Stone Tribe, would not do such a thing.
If no one takes the initiative to provoke them, they are willing to get along well with other tribes.
Just like what they did this time.
After this comparison, these people have become more favorable towards the Qingque tribe...
