Chapter 863 Purple Soil

The appearance of Han Cheng and his group at this time can only be described as horrible.

Except for the few female primitives who followed in the tribe, the rest of the team were all unshaven, and so was Han Cheng, who was already the father of two children.

Moreover, everyone has lost a lot of weight, and the clothes they were wearing when they left were already a little too big.

Just shut up, stretching your legs is really the best way to lose weight.

I really can't control my mouth anymore, it's also very good to be able to move my legs.

It's like Han Cheng's business. On the way, Han Cheng tried his best to increase nutrition for everyone in the tribe, but after such hard work, everyone was still thin.

If it wasn't for the fact that everyone's clothes were made of leather, and they were all covered with strong rattan armor, I'm afraid that after this action, everyone's clothes would become stripped.

"Go! Let's go down!"

After standing here to rest for a while, Han Cheng greeted everyone, then picked up his backpack, fastened the upper and lower straps firmly, and started walking down.

After the rest of the people heard Han Cheng's greeting, they all got up one after another, carried their backpacks and weapons, and followed Han Cheng down.

Two people carrying rattan shields rushed to Han Cheng's front and protected Han Cheng with rattan shields.

Protecting the safety of the Son of God at all times is the principle that they all follow.

Not to mention that Wu, senior brother and others made an explanation when they set off, even if there was no explanation, they would all do so spontaneously.

With them here, nothing can harm their son of God!

Traveling through the desert for many days and finally seeing a place with a wide view, everyone couldn't help but be filled with excitement. It can't compare to the ecstasy of walking in the desert for many days and finally seeing an oasis, but there is a lot of joy that should be there .

Leaving aside whether this is the south mentioned by the Son of God or not, the wide view alone is enough to make everyone happy.

Everyone went down the hill, and after walking for a while, they left the hill completely.

When the foot is on the ground that appears to be flat,

Everyone, including Han Cheng, couldn't help being excited for a while.

"Go! Go over there, let's have a good rest there."

Han Cheng pointed to the front and said to everyone.

While standing on the hill, he took advantage of the situation to look down at the terrain carefully, and knew that there was a small river there.

In this era, where there is water, there are fish. Of course, the water here refers to the water that exists on the surface in nature, except for artificial water such as tears, sweat, and saliva.

Come to the water source early, throw the fish cage you carry into the water, and some food will be guaranteed.

And they can also use things like earthen pots to boil some hot water, let some of them cool down for drinking, and use the other part for washing and soaking their feet.

Along the way, under Han Cheng's insistence, soaking feet in hot water has become an indispensable procedure. This practice can relieve the fatigue of the feet and let the people in the team have a longer life. battery life.

Han Cheng has already decided that no matter whether this is the south or not, he will take people here to take a good rest.

The previous trekking over mountains and ridges was really exhausting, and if he didn't take a good rest, Han Cheng felt that some people would be too physically ill and even fall behind.

Of course, the most important thing is that he himself can't bear it anymore. Compared with the real primitive people like the second senior brother, he, a half-baked primitive who has become a monk halfway, is not physically barbaric enough.

Everyone began to walk in the direction Han Cheng pointed out. When walking, it was still the same as before. At least two people would hold a large shield and stand by Han Cheng's side at all times.

In the front, there will be four people holding long daggers, and they will use the long daggers in their hands to beat the grass to scare the snakes.

During the march, there will be people holding a gong hammer and beating a few times on the copper gong.

Use these voices to tell the beasts that may exist around that the God Son of the Qingque Tribe has started to patrol, and all the beasts must pay attention to avoiding it, and don't open your eyes to hit it. It seems that the king asked me to patrol the mountain.

And Junior Brother Sha, and several other people in the team who are good at bows and arrows, are always ready with bows and arrows in their hands.

If you encounter large startled beasts like tigers, you will usually let them leave as long as the other party does not take the initiative to provoke them. As for the small startled beasts, you will basically send an arrow or a few arrows.

In this way, while walking and hunting with a bow, you can often get a lot of prey. When you are lucky, you can't finish eating the prey you get in a day.

Walking all the way like this, under the beating and beating all the way, when they came to the small river about two miles away from the bottom of the small hill, they were also hunted and killed by Brother Sha and the others. Some small wild animals.

The creek is not too wide, about three meters long. After arriving here and choosing a resting place, the people with rich experience in setting up camps began to act.

First step down a piece of weeds with your feet, and use a sickle to cut off some that are not easy to step down with your feet.

Then nail a circle of wooden stakes around, and wrap ropes around the wooden stakes to create a simple protective measure.

During this process, someone will lower the fish cage they carry with them into the water, and someone will use copper shovels to dig holes in the selected camp, and clear out a small firebreak for cooking. .

As for Han Cheng, the Son of God, accompanied by several people, Chao Chao looked around, trying to find some plants he knew that only grew in the south.

After searching for a while, he was disappointed again. The plants that he knew only in the south did not appear.

This made Han Cheng wonder if some of the plants he knew hadn't appeared in this world yet.

If this is not the case, why have you not seen any of them all this way?

Or is it that the original location of your tribe is too far to the north?

Returning to the temporary camp with habitual disappointment, there was already a fire here, and even the water boiled two clay pots.

Some food boiled in another clay pot has begun to emit some fragrance, and a few chicken wings that are pierced on thin sticks and grilled have been grilled.

"Son of God."

The second senior brother squatting there grilling meat saw Han Cheng come back, he smiled and handed the baked chicken wings to Han Cheng.

There is no meat at all except for the skin and bones of chicken wings, and the whole tribe likes to eat them. The rest of the people are more keen on having a lot of meaty chicken legs and chicken breasts.

Han Cheng smiled and nodded to the second senior brother, took the baked chicken wings from the second senior brother, bit off a bit and ate slowly.

It has to be said that food is the most suitable thing for foodies to serve.

Just like the second senior brother now.

After a long time of specializing in barbecue, and under the influence of Han Cheng, he began to strive for perfection, and the roasted food by the second senior brother is getting better and better.

For example, the grilled chicken wings in Han Cheng's hand, if sprinkled with some cumin and chili powder, it would be perfect.

When Senior Brother 1.2 carefully baked the chicken wings, Han Cheng's depressed mood because he didn't find those plants suddenly improved a lot.

Sure enough, food is a very magical thing, and it has a strong healing ability for many bad emotions.

For the time being, Han Cheng stopped thinking about the south, plants and other things, but began to concentrate on dealing with the food in his hands.

Watching the second senior brother barbecue while eating is also a very good enjoyment, the kind that can make people forget their troubles.

In such a state of mind, half a roasted chicken wing was eaten quietly.

Holding a chicken wing and eating it happily, Han Cheng, whose lips and the corners of his mouth were shiny, suddenly stopped his movements, and his eyes fell on sitting on a stone, grilling meat there in a professional-looking way at the feet of the second senior brother.

At the feet of the second senior brother, there is some relatively moist soil. This is some soil dug out when digging a simple fire pit not long ago.

It has even been stepped on by the second senior brother.

Han Cheng had already seen the excavated soil, but he didn't pay attention to it and skipped it automatically.

But now, he couldn't take his eyes off.

After squatting there, watching in a daze for a while with the chicken wings in his mouth, Han Cheng got up and rushed to the side of the second senior brother, squatting down to look closely at the upturned soil.

While watching, he accelerated the speed of eating chicken wings.

After a while, he hastily gnawed away the rest of the meat, and threw it to a dog who couldn't wait. Han Cheng couldn't wait to reach out and grab some soil on the ground, put it in his hand carefully After looking closely for a while, a look of excitement appeared on his face.

"Come on a few people, come with me!"

Han Cheng threw away the soil in his hands, picked up a copper shovel not far away, and said to some people around who noticed his somewhat abnormal behavior.

Everyone had followed Han Cheng for a long time, and they knew a lot about the Son of God, and they could tell by looking at their expressions that they probably found something good.

Many people immediately put down their work, stood up with their weapons in their hands, and prepared to follow Han Cheng.

"It's okay, it doesn't take so many people, you guys follow me, and the rest continue to do things."

Han Cheng pointed out a few people and told them to take weapons and act together with him, and let the rest continue to do things.

The few people who were pointed out immediately felt that they had accepted the sacred mission. They guarded Han Cheng tightly with weapons, and prepared to witness the miracle with the Son of God...

However, the son of God had stopped not long after he walked out of the temporary camp. He used the copper shovel in his hand to shake off some weeds on the ground, and then stepped on the side of the copper shovel with his feet, pushing the copper shovel towards the ground. About half of the soil went into it, and I pried it up with my hands.

The piece of soil that was scooped up was held back by Han Cheng, and the moist soil was exposed to the air.

As Han Cheng expected, the soil was still purple!

"Go, go further afield."

Han Cheng, whose life was full in an instant, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said to those who followed him.

Then, after walking forward for about one or two hundred meters, I stopped and started digging again. The soil was still purple...

"Hahaha……"

About two miles away from the temporary camp, looking at the purple soil turned over by himself, Han Cheng, whose face was getting more and more happy, finally couldn't help laughing out loud.

These people who followed Han Cheng looked at the soil that Han Cheng had pinned to the ground, and they all seemed puzzled.

This time, although they followed Shenzi all the way and didn't miss a single step, they still didn't find out what good thing Shenzi found.

If it was something like plants, they would all be able to understand it, but now what the Son of God dug out was just some soil.

They watched the soil carefully, over and over again, but they didn't see any difference except that the color was purple.

Could it be that this purple soil has a very special function, like the clay in the tribe, it can be used to make pottery?

Some people with more active thinking have already begun to associate it with pottery making and brick firing.

There are also some people who didn't think of anything, they just didn't think of anything, but started to grin and giggle along with their god son.

No matter what effect it has, anyway, if it can make Shenzi so happy, it must be a good thing for his own tribe. Of course, he will be happy if he has a good thing, and laughing with Shenzi, there must be nothing wrong.

Of course Han Cheng was happy, not because of what the purple soil could do, but because he remembered the great significance that the purple soil represented.

The red soil in the Lingnan area, the loess widely distributed in the Central Plains and Guanzhong area, the fertile black soil in the Northeast, and the purple soil concentrated in the Sichuan Basin are all the knowledge I learned in my geography class.

Now, where he and others are, there is a lot of purple soil. How can this prevent Han Cheng from being excited?

Although the purple soil is distributed in other places besides the concentrated distribution in the Sichuan Basin, Han Cheng is very sure of one thing, that is, most of the purple soil is distributed in the south, and rarely exists in the north.

I and others set off from the tribe and went south for many days. Now that I encountered purple soil, it meant that I and others were in the south, even if it wasn't the Sichuan Basin.

However, Han Cheng felt that the place where he and the others were now was most likely to be the Sichuan Basin, because in their tribe, there were some giant pandas that were particularly cute.

These giant pandas are from the Xiong tribe, and they were kidnapped from the bamboo forest not too far from where they live.

According to Han Cheng's understanding, giant pandas, the national favorite of later generations, were also distributed around the Sichuan Basin in addition to the Land of Abundance in ancient times, such as the Qinling Mountains.

Since there were giant pandas in the place where my tribe was before, it means that the place where my tribe used to be is not too far from the Sichuan Basin.

Now that I and others have traveled all the way south, crossed many mountains, and came to such a place with an extremely wide field of vision, and found purple soil, then the place where I and others are now is likely to be covered by The Sichuan Basin known as the Land of Abundance.

If the place where I and others are now is the Sichuan Basin, then the location of my tribe should be the old place of the Qin Dynasty, the Guanzhong area.

After probably knowing the location of himself and the tribe, Han Cheng suddenly had a feeling of clearing the fog and suddenly seeing the light.

All kinds of topography and landforms have always been slowly evolving. Judging from the era I live in now, many things in my entire era must be different from those in later generations.

For example, the Himalayas must not be as high as later generations.

But there are also many things that have already been finalized, and even if they change, it will not be too big.

So Han Cheng felt that his position should be correct.

Of course, it doesn't matter if the location is wrong. If I say that this is the Sichuan Basin, and that my tribe is located in Guanzhong, then it must be like this.

Just like the centimeters and catties he estimated to have produced, they must not meet the standards of later generations, but what does that matter?

It can also provide a standard for its own tribe, as long as this standard does not cause confusion, then it is correct in its own tribe.

In this wild time, there are many times when facing many things, you can really do whatever you want.

Especially when there are standards for various weights and measures, and names for many things.

"Here's the South we're looking for! We've found a place to keep out the cold!"

After laughing silly for a while, Han Cheng looked at the crowd and said with a smile, announcing this very happy news to them.

After hearing Han Cheng's words, all the people who followed him couldn't help cheering loudly.

In order to find a safer place for the tribe, where they could avoid the increasingly severe cold, they followed their son of God, away from the tribe, and walked and shuttled in strange places for a long time, and suffered a lot on the way.

Now, the Son of God told them that he and others finally came to the south and found the place he and others were looking for. How could this not make them happy?

Strictly speaking, the Sichuan Basin does belong to the south, whether it is southeast or southwest, with the south, it is the south.

The Qinling Mountains-Huaihe River, the north-south dividing line known to Han Cheng in later generations, is just to the north of the Sichuan Basin.

Even if the current climate is different from that of later generations, this dividing line still has a strong reference value.

In addition to these, to the north of where I and the others are now, there are many high mountains and mountains, which can effectively block the cold air from going south.

So even if he has not spent the winter here, Han Cheng can basically be sure that he can cope with the cold weather here.

After cheering here for a while, Han Cheng and the others started rushing to the temporary camp.

Instead of going back the same way, he went around a semicircle. On the way back, Han Cheng also excavated some places, and what he saw was still purple soil, which made him more confident in his previous guess. .

After returning to the camp, Han Cheng told the news to everyone in the temporary camp. After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but smile, and they were very happy that they finally found such a good place for the tribe.

"Son of God, why do you know this is the south when you see the purple soil?"

Not all people will follow Shale without asking for further understanding. For example, following the stone who came forward at this moment, he asked such a question.

After being asked such a question, some people realized the problem and looked at Han Cheng.

At this moment, Han Cheng had washed his hands again, took the reheated chicken wings from the second senior brother, and then ate them slowly, which was much more delicious than before.

"This is because this kind of purple soil basically only exists in the south, and we have traveled south for so long..."

While slowly chewing the chicken wings in his hand, Han Cheng popularized science with Shi Shi and others.

Today, Han Cheng insists on explaining the questions raised by people in the tribe as clearly as possible, which is conducive to the better development of the tribe.

As for why he knows so much, people in the tribe will not have any doubts about it, because he still has the invincible aura of a son of God.

As the Son of God, one must be well-informed, which is a matter of course.

After listening to Han Cheng's explanation, many people nodded in understanding, understood what was going on, and felt a sense of increased knowledge.

Because they finally reached the south they were looking for, the people in the tribe were very happy, and their hearts were immediately put in their stomachs, so the next period of time was very leisurely.

Everyone ate a good meal here with the food they could get, and burned enough hot water to soak their feet.

Some people also go to some places relatively downstream to bathe in the river water.

Many people also shave their beards on the water after grinding the copper knives they carry with them on a fine whetstone.

There are also some people helping each other to clean up the hair that seems to be too long on the head.

The women used combs made of sheep's horns to comb their loose hair after washing.

Because of the arrival of Han Cheng and his group, the place that was originally deserted suddenly became alive.

After these things are dealt with, it will be a while before it gets dark, but many people are already sleeping in the tents that have been built.

This continuous rush over the mountains and ridges exhausted them all. At this time, the things they have always wanted to do have come to fruition. Of course, it is time to take a good rest.

Han Cheng lay in the tent, and after thinking about what he might encounter next, he also closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The noisy camp quickly became quiet.
