Chapter 831 The Island in the Lake

Wu sat on the donkey cart, feeling the scenery on both sides slowly moving backwards, seeing the tribe getting farther and farther away in his vision, and the people standing in front of the tribe gradually getting smaller and farewell, and felt relieved before. No more.

At this time, he was very quiet.

Shenzi was very right, he and others really need to give the younger people in the tribe some opportunities to be independent, let them experience and grow.

Only when they grow up and there are more and more people in the tribe who can handle things, will the tribe become more prosperous.

It’s not terrible to not do well now or to make some small mistakes. With the son of God and himself behind to cover the bottom line, no matter how bad it is, it won’t be too bad.

If you don't train the people in the tribe at this time, then when the time comes, once there are no more people...

Of course, the main reason is that he is gone, whether Shitou can be the next shaman, after all, the Son of God is still very young, not much older than Shitou.

It seems that in the future, when the tribe will carry out sacrifices again, I should also let Shishi play in person and carry out with me.

Sitting in a donkey cart all the way west along the Bronze Expressway, Wu secretly made such a decision in his heart.

The donkey cart traveled all the way, and as the distance from the tribe got farther and farther away, for Wu, Yuan and eight other people who came here for the first time, the scenery on both sides became novel, and they left Familiar places, walking in unfamiliar places, everything is fresh.

Wu had never traveled such a long way before. In his memory, the farthest time he went out was that time with his elder brother and the others, to a place far away from the tribe, to pick up the Son of God who fell from the sky from the wild.

At this time, he let go of his worries and walked along the Bronze Expressway in a donkey cart. He was very happy. This was a feeling he had never experienced before.

Especially thinking that this is also the place of their Qingque tribe, let alone the beauty in my heart.

Han Cheng sometimes sat on the donkey cart, but more often he walked on foot, because he felt that sitting in the donkey cart was not as comfortable as walking.

Of course, this is without getting tired.

It was the first time for Xiao Wandou to experience such a battle, not to mention how excited she was, she ran back and forth beside Han Cheng on her short legs, shouting excitedly.

Tired from running, he rode on Panda Tuantuan, let Panda Tuantuan carry him, and continued yelling.

After Wu and Yuan sat on the donkey cart and walked for a while, they would get off and follow the cart for a while to stretch their legs.

Xiao Xing'er, who was held in Bai Xuemei's arms, stared at the sky with her dark eyes.

Whether it's the white clouds floating in the sky or the birds flying across the sky, they can all attract her attention.

General Fu walked forward beside Han Cheng, carrying the three squirrels who didn't know whether it was a pine tree or a mother.

All in all, this is a very strange team. There are people in the team, there are donkeys, there are deer, there are dogs, there are pandas, and there are three squirrels.

In the early summer breeze, the team was walking forward like this. Han Cheng turned his head to look at Wu who was sitting side by side with Yuan in the donkey cart, and Bai Xuemei who was holding Xiao Xing'er in the other donkey cart, and who was following beside her. The son who was riding a panda couldn't help showing a smile on his face, the kind of joy that burst out from his heart.

This kind of going out to relax is going out to relax! Walk slowly with the people you care about, don't worry about someone always taking you to the place where you need to consume, all kinds of tricks to buy fake products, and all kinds of cynical language attacks on you if you don't buy them.

Going out to relax, I was stunned into a bad mood...

In the evening, a group of people came to the newly built Tongfu Inn, put down their things, and unloaded the deer and donkey.

Some went to prepare and cook, while others fed the animals.

Wu Ze looked at the courtyard back and forth, unable to hide the joy on his face.

This is where their tribe is, something that belongs to their tribe.

In a place so far away from the tribe, there is also something belonging to the tribe!

After seeing the Tongfu Inn, Wu really wanted to visit the Tongshan residential area.

The newly built Tongfu Inn has such a scale and style. I really don't know what the Tongshan residential area has been run by the tribe for so many years and so many people live there.

Listening to what others say is not always as good as seeing it with your own eyes.

At this moment, Wu felt very regretful that he hadn't come out for a walk until now.

But luckily the Son of God pulled him out, otherwise it would be a real pity if he didn't leave the main tribe when he was old and dead, and came to see these things that belonged to the tribe.

Because of the stay of Han Cheng and others, the originally deserted Tongfu Inn suddenly became lively and full of popularity.

As night falls, everyone rests, the wind blows, and there are bursts of pine waves around. In the night, there are intermittent copper bells ringing from time to time, decorating the night together.

This is the sound made by donkeys and deer with copper bells tied around their necks, or chewing cud or walking, making the whole night even more silent.

Early the next morning, after everyone cleaned up, they left the Tongfu Inn, plugged the gate of the courtyard with branches, and continued westward along the Bronze Expressway.

On the way of walking, Han Cheng turned his head and looked at the Tongfu Inn, which became empty again and gradually disappeared under the shade of pine trees. Suddenly, some plots in Liaozhai rang out.

Barren hills, ancient temples, a lonely lamp, a down-and-out scholar reading in front of the lamp, and in the middle of the night, a beautiful and charming female fairy...

It's exciting to think about it.

However, Han Cheng felt that there was no way to realize such a thing. Leaving aside the question of whether prehistoric people could become spirits, just talking about the fairy transforming into a human form was enough to cause headaches.

It is said that there must be a certain reference for the fairy to transform into a human form, such as the rabbit spirit in "Legend of the New White Snake".

If this is the case, the beautiful and charming female fairy is probably comparable to Zhuang, Ruhua and the others...

This is indeed very exciting...

The sixty-mile journey is all flat roads. They set off in the morning, and when the sun was still three poles down in the afternoon, Han Cheng and his group arrived at the Longmen Inn under construction from Tongfu Inn.

Seeing Han Cheng and his party, the people who stayed here were naturally very happy, especially when they saw Wu Wu who was in the team for the first time going out so far.

They have spent so much energy building these things, of course they hope that more people in the tribe can see and use them.

At night, several bonfires were lit at the Longmen Inn where many stones that would be used to build bridges were placed.

A few unlucky wild ducks were strung on the branches and roasted, and the fish soup boiled in the big tank exuded fragrance.

It is close to the river, and a further distance to the north is the wild duck lake, the largest lake that Han Cheng has seen since he came here.

There are so many rivers and lakes, so of course fish are indispensable. When building bridges and Longmen Inns here in the past few days, people in the tribe will put some fish cages into the water to catch fish.

When Han Cheng and the others came this trip, they also brought a large number of idle fish cages from the main tribe.

These will be sent down to rivers and lakes to catch fish after a while.

With the support of these fish, building bridges near here this time will save a lot of food consumption.

The fish here were not arrested last year, mainly because the old primitive people had not yet joined the Qingque tribe when the road was built last year.

In addition, the old primitive people and the road construction team of the Qingque tribe headed by Gu basically completed the handover here. Under such circumstances, of course Gu and the others could not expose the fish cage to catch fish.

After all, the fish cage is not a particularly complicated thing. If others see how to use it to catch fish, they will easily be imitated by others.

At that time, if the old primitives saw and learned from them, it would not be so easy for the Feng Tribe and the Neighboring Feng Tribe to join their own tribe.

Now they have all joined the Qingque tribe, drank the Qingque wine, and are members of the tribe alone, so of course there are no such taboos.

The dinner, which was a bit of a party, ended later than usual. The main reason for this was that the elders of the Wu tribe left the tribe and came here.

People in the tribe respect witches very much.

Although the role of witches in the tribe has become smaller and smaller since the Son of God was born, the respect for the old man has never been diminished by the people in the tribe.

This is partly because the son of God, who is the most respected in the tribe, respects witches very much.

The Son of God is like this, and the rest of the people naturally dare not disrespect.

Another aspect is Wu's love for the tribe. Everyone in the tribe can really feel it, and Wu is also very decisive. Normally, when the Son of God is around, he looks lazy, but when it comes to the crucial At any time, especially when the Son of God is not in the tribe, Wu can take things up.

Is a real responsible person.

The bonfire was extinguished, and everyone rested one after another.

Wu lay in the makeshift camp, with his head exposed, and his eyes open to see the stars in the sky.

There were insects humming around, and in the darkness not far away, there would be a sound of fish cutting through the water from time to time.

After watching quietly for a long time, the witch with a smile on his face slowly fell asleep...

The next morning, Wu and Han Cheng went to collect the fish cages that were lowered into the river last night.

"There are fish! There are fish!"

Wu stretched out his hand to pull a rope tied to the shore, and then slowly pulled it to the shore. As the fish cage was pulled, the fish that got into the fish cage began to swim restlessly, and the rope on the fish cage They were all moved.

Feeling this, the witch shouted excitedly, and then increased his strength with his hands.

After a few moments, the submerged fish cage was pulled out of the water by Wu La, and the fish in the cage were jumping hard, trying to break free from the cage and return to the water, so as to enjoy the joy of fish and water again.

It's a pity that such a thing will not happen.

"Ha ha……"

Wu didn't ask others to help, so he lifted the fish cage up by himself, walked a few steps to the shore, and after a certain distance from the water, he turned the fish cage over and poured out all the contents.

For a while, there was a lively scene here.

In addition to seven or eight large and small fish, there are also translucent prawns lying on their sides on the ground and bouncing vigorously.

There are also two eels, two palm-sized old turtles, and a toad covered in pimples.

The harvest of this fish cage can be described as very rich.

Seeing such a scene, Wu was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, like a child, he picked up these things with some minors who followed him, not to mention the joy after harvesting!

The empty fish cage was lowered into the water again, and continued to collect the rest of the fish cages.

Following everyone's actions, the fish cages that had been in the water overnight were pulled out one by one, and the full harvest was packed into the fish cages with big bellies and small mouths.

These fish and shrimp are enough for the people who build bridges and build houses here to eat today.

Wu was very excited, and most of the people who followed were also very excited, because since the number of fish and shrimps in the small river in front of the tribe has decreased, it has been a long time since they got such a big harvest from the river at one time!

Han Cheng was equally excited, but he was a little helpless after being excited.

Because he found that after the Bronze Expressway was gradually perfected, there was a wild duck lake near the Bronze Expressway, and many large and small rivers around the lake, and the fish pond next to the Qingque main tribe suddenly became tasteless. up.

However, with some hypocritical helplessness, it only existed for a while and then disappeared without a trace, completely replaced by happiness.

Such a lake and the surrounding rivers are worth a lot of land!

When the time comes, what kind of disaster really happened in the tribe, resulting in a serious shortage of food in the tribe. Only by relying on these lakes and rivers, such a disaster can be carried over!

After finishing the morning's harvest, Han Cheng, Bai Xuemei, Wu, Yuan and the others left the Longmen Inn under construction and headed north.

They are going to the Wild Duck Lake in the north.

"Fluffling~"

"Quack quack ~!"

The arrival of the crowd alarmed many wild ducks and other water birds living here.

There was a fluttering sound of wings, and many wild ducks flew up like a dark cloud in the sky.

After flying for a certain distance, they landed in the water a certain distance away from the shore. Looking at the group of uninvited guests on the shore, they quacked and flashed their wings twice. Drill into the bottom of the water, and after a while, come out of the water from another place.

Wu stared at the large area of ​​water in front of him, and couldn't say a word for a while.

Not only Wu, but everyone who saw Wild Duck Lake for the first time couldn't help but widen their eyes.

Because the scene I saw in front of me was really shocking!

They have never seen such a wide water area that can't be seen at a glance!

Before seeing Wild Duck Lake, they never thought about where so much water could gather together.

Even the daughter-in-law Bai Xuemei, who originally lived in the Fire Tribe and was brought back by Han Cheng along the river, was not at all peaceful at this time.

Because no matter how much water there is in a big river, no matter how long the river is, its width is limited after all, and there will never be a scene like this that can't be seen at a glance!

"How many fish should there be in here! How many fish should there be in here!"

Wu, who was shocked for a while, looked at the wide water area and began to mutter to himself. At first, Han Cheng couldn't hear clearly, but when he got closer, he could hear clearly what Wu was chanting.

Wu is indeed a qualified primitive man. After seeing this large area of ​​water, the first thing he thought of was how many fish he could catch for the tribe, instead of being shocked by the scenery in front of him like Han Cheng. After appreciating the beautiful scenery, I connected it with food.

"Eggs! Eggs! Wild duck eggs!"

When everyone was feeling emotional for the scenery or the many fish living in the blue waves, a minor shouted in surprise, holding two green leather belts in his hands high. Some pockmarked wild duck eggs jumped up and down excitedly.

This shout broke the shocked state of the crowd, and many people began to use the sticks in their hands to push aside the grass beside them, hoping to find surprises from it.

Han Cheng took Xiao Xing'er from Bai Xuemei's arms, and Bai Xuemei took Little Peas and immediately threw herself into the activity of looking for wild duck eggs.

Although she is already the mother of two children, she is still as happy as a child who has not grown up.

In that appearance, it looks a lot like a southerner who saw snow for the first time.

Han Cheng hugged Xiao Xing'er and followed behind, talking to his daughter something he didn't understand, with a smile all over his face.

Although neither of the father and daughter could understand what the other was saying, or even what they were saying, it was undeniable that they had a very pleasant exchange.

"Wu, let's go to the island inside and have a look?"

In the afternoon, after sitting by the lake and eating some roasted wild duck eggs and some grilled fish, Han Cheng looked at an island in the wild duck lake and said.

The island is not too far from the south of the lake, and Han Cheng estimates it to be less than two miles away by visual inspection.

Looking from a distance, there are many rocks on the side facing Han Cheng and the others. There are trees behind the rocks, and birds will fly into the sky from time to time.

Han Cheng and the others had already discovered this island when they surveyed the terrain last year, but they never went up last year because they were in a hurry.

Now that the time is relatively leisurely, Han Chengcheng thought of going up to have a look.

For such a proposal, Wu naturally agreed, because now he has regarded the Wild Duck Lake as the private property of his tribe in his heart.

Since it belongs to his own tribe, it is necessary to understand it well, just like when he was in the tribe, he always liked to measure the land in the tribe with his feet.

This is a kind of psychology similar to that of landlords and rich people.

After this decision was made, Han Cheng, Wu and the others headed back. After all, it was impossible to swim across such a long distance. They needed to build a wooden boat or raft first.

After returning, Han Cheng asked the people who built the house to stop temporarily, came to the lake, and cut down trees from the surrounding area to build a raft.

The reason why it is a raft instead of a canoe is because the requirements of the raft are relatively low, and it is easier to make than a canoe.

When these people started to make rafts, Han Cheng was not idle, he was also beating non-stop with an ax in his hand.

As he moved, sections of wood that were as thick as bowl mouths were tightly connected together by ropes.

This thing is the original life jacket made by Han Cheng.

Although crude, but because Han Cheng used very light wood such as tung trees, the buoyancy is still very good.

After it is done, someone will go down into the waist-deep water wearing it, and then curl up their legs, and the whole person can be taken to float.

There are many people and strength, and after years of training, the people of the tribe have greatly improved in many things. After a day, four big rafts came out here.

Each raft has a width of more than two meters and a length of more than three meters. There are fences built with thinner wood around the rafts, which can prevent people from falling into the water to the greatest extent.

A tree stick was erected on each side of the front and back, and oars were hung obliquely on it.

Because the raft was built so big, it seemed extraordinarily heavy, and several people failed to lift it up. Brother Sha and the others, whose necks were flushed red from holding back, planned to call more people to come to the raft.

Six more people were added, but just after lifting them up, Han Cheng called to stop adding more people.

Instead, people found the leftover logs from the raft, and placed one at a distance of about 1.5 meters, from the raft to the edge of the lake.

At the same time, people use wooden bars to pry up the front end of the raft, and insert two logs into it.

After doing this, call people to push and pull the raft.

The raft, which was originally very heavy, suddenly became much lighter. Under the push and pull of everyone, it slid all the way into the lake water.

After the raft entered the water, many people here couldn't help cheering.

Their son of God once again used his wisdom to solve the problem!

At the same time, they also learned a method to solve problems from the Son of Wisdom.

After the first successful experience, it was easy for the remaining three rafts to go into the water. Using the same method, they entered the water not long after.

After the raft entered the water, it did not slide directly into the depths of the Wild Duck Lake. Instead, it did an experiment in the shallow water area to confirm that the raft was easy to use and there were no safety hazards before starting the official voyage.

Han Cheng made a screening for the first wave of people who took a raft to the island in the lake.

The elderly, children, those who are not strong enough, or those who have no previous experience in riding bamboo rafts or wooden rafts on the water, did not take them with them.

Moreover, many weapons such as rattan shields, bows and arrows, and bronze spears were placed on the raft.

After all, they had never been to the island in the lake before, and they didn't know anything about the specifics, so weapons must be easy to bring.

In addition to these weapons and the original life jacket, there were also many large split planks and several coils of hemp rope placed on the raft.

These two things are also prepared for those who accidentally fall into the water.

Once someone falls into the water, the wooden board will be thrown over to let him hug, and then a hemp rope tied with a small piece of wood will be thrown over to pull him over.
