Chapter 880

After the elder brother and his group of nearly a hundred people left, the place of the Qingque main tribe suddenly seemed a lot empty.

However, everyone is not idle, and they are still doing various tasks.

Even because so many people left at once, the people who stayed in the tribe became busier.

Next to the blacksmith's stove, the tinkling sound of iron hammers was still ringing, and the second senior brother was still processing and manufacturing the meteorite there.

The ease of use of the Meteorite weapon made him selfless in forging iron, and he wanted to forge more Meteorite weapons faster and better.

So much so that in order to save more physical strength for blacksmithing, he doesn't touch his spouses much when he sleeps at night, and he tends to develop into a male god of abstinence.

In the carpenter's room, Liao led the new generation of carpenters such as Mao Er to continue making donkey saddles and stirrups.

What Han Cheng meant was to at least manufacture a donkey that could equip half of the adult donkeys in the tribe with saddles and stirrups.

That's thirty-one pairs.

In this way, the tribe can try to form a group of donkey cavalry.

Of course, the donkey cavalry that Han Cheng mentioned cannot be compared with the excellent cavalry in ancient times.

It is impossible to shoot a bow from a donkey, or even charge a donkey with a weapon.

But it can greatly improve the mobility of everyone, and it can also greatly save energy.

Even, when encountering some tribes that have not seen such creatures as donkeys, the strange shape of riding on a donkey alone can scare them away.

So it is still necessary to try.

Of course, according to the current level of the tribe, it is impossible to support a professional army. These people are still the same as before, training every two days, and when the farming is busy, they will rely on the work in the field. Lord, stop training and go to farm.

But even this level of training is enough. After all, in such an era, this kind of training has far surpassed all the tribes Han Cheng knew.

Facing such Qingque tribes, those tribes dare to play tricks,

Only for being hanged and beaten.

"Let these children graze the sheep for you. When the sheep are herding, let them ride on the sheep. Of course, you can't ride the pregnant ewe."

In the early morning, the old sheep and some other people picked up the sheep-herding whips hanging outside the sheepfold, brought the dogs who had learned to herd sheep, and carried dry food, ready to open the sheepfold to start a new day of sheep-herding.

It was at this time that Han Cheng led a group of more than twenty children over.

These minors are not very old, the oldest is no more than seven years old, and the youngest is less than five years old.

The reason why Han Cheng did this was not because he disliked these little guys being too noisy in the tribe, but because he wanted to train these minors to be more qualified cavalry.

As a person who prefers to read history before traveling, Han Cheng knows something about why most of the nomads are natural cavalry.

One of the biggest reasons is created by living conditions.

Because these people have been in contact with livestock such as cattle, sheep and horses since they were young, many of them rode sheep when they were young, and then rode horses when they grew up. It can be said that they grew up on the backs of sheep or horses.

Under such circumstances, it would be strange if their riding skills were not good.

So Han Chengcheng wants to follow suit, and plans to let this group of children go to herd sheep with the old sheep, and they need to ride more sheep on the way to herd sheep.

In this way, on the one hand, these children can get used to this kind of life with their feet off the ground since childhood, and hone their good riding skills.

They are used to riding sheep, and they can ride donkeys better when they grow up.

Become a real donkey rider.

It's really amazing to get used to this kind of thing, especially the habits cultivated from childhood.

Just like Han Cheng himself.

Digging the ground with a shovel, carrying water with a pole, carrying cow dung into the vegetable garden, mowing grass with a sickle, picking wheat with a wooden fork, etc., are all done during the years from the third grade to the sixth grade of elementary school. Learned.

I didn't do it often after I was in junior high school, and after that, I basically didn't have a chance to touch it.

But even after so many years, these skills have not retreated. After coming to this era, he still feels very comfortable doing these things.

Therefore, if the children of the tribe can get used to this kind of thing of riding a sheep from an early age, then when they grow up, they will not become unfamiliar with things like riding a donkey.

Education starts with the baby, and so does things like riding.

On the other hand, following the old sheep to herd sheep at this time can let them experience the hardships of life, and at the same time can cultivate their herding skills, which can be said to be multiple in one fell swoop.

The children following Han Cheng were very excited to see the sheep in the sheepfold.

Fun is in the nature of young children, and sheep riding is obviously a lot of fun.

In the past, if they wanted to ride sheep, they had to do it secretly. The adults in the tribe generally would not let them come and bully these livestock that could be killed for meat when they grew up.

But it was different now, the most honorable son of God in the tribe personally allowed them to ride sheep, how could this make them unhappy?

Now you can have a good ride, and you don't have to worry about someone stopping you.

When Han Cheng, the son of God, opened his mouth, Lao Yang and the others naturally would not object.

It's just that I need to bring some more food today, and eat it at noon.

Although these children are not very big, their small stomachs are very capable of holding food.

"Take care of them and don't put them in danger."

Han Cheng explained to the sheep herders like Lao Yang.

Of course, by these dangers he refers to encountering wild animals, falling into deep ravines, and the like.

As for the usual bumps and falls and other things, they are nothing at all. The children in the primitive era are all very skinny, and it is far from enough to touch a small wound on the hand and heal it by itself without going to the hospital. , and then tweeted to seek comfort.

"It's okay, Son of God, we will take care of them."

The old sheep said with a smile.

Most people like children when they are old, and Lao Yang also likes to get along with these children in the tribe, and feels very comfortable with them.

Sometimes naughty is naughty, but most of the time it is quite lovable.

After bringing some food for these minors to eat at noon, the old sheep opened the fence gate of the sheepfold and let the sheep out.

These sheep have already been domesticated and are used to this kind of life, so as soon as the old sheep opened the door of the sheepfold, these guys came out, and there were two sharp-looking eyes on their heads. Led by the ram with the horns, he consciously walked outside.

This ram was obviously the head of the flock.

Unlike the other sheep, this head sheep has a rope tied around its neck, and a stick tied horizontally hangs under the rope.

The stick is not thick, about the thickness of a baby's arm, and it is not long. It is about 40 centimeters long and hangs down to the knees of the sheep's two front legs.

This is called a sheep trip in Han Cheng's hometown. With this stick hanging here, there is no need to worry that the sheep will run very fast, and it will be much easier to herd the sheep.

Generally, as long as the leading sheep is under control, the rest of the sheep will be obedient.

Among the children selected by Han Cheng, one of the older minors ran over with a shout of excitement when he saw the sheep coming out.

Pull a sheep nearby and climb up to it.

But sheep are not so easy to ride. The sheep pulled by the child immediately struggled alive and kicked, throwing the little two-legged beast that was trying to ride it to the ground.

The last thing children are afraid of is falling, especially for children in primitive times.

After being thrown to the ground by a sheep and falling down, crying is simply non-existent.

The little guy quickly got up from the ground, and then ran towards the sheep that had just thrown him off. After catching up, he pulled and continued to climb up the sheep's back.

Driven by this guy, the rest of the little guys couldn't help it anymore, and they all ran towards the sheep that hadn't finished coming out of the sheepfold with a cheer.

As for the matter that the child was thrown from the sheep's back just now, they simply ignored it.

For them, these are really nothing, who doesn't fall a few times a day?

This group of children was so enthusiastic that the sheep were all frightened and dodged to the side one after another, causing a small-scale confusion among the sheep.

However, this kind of chaos will not affect the entire flock. There are old sheep, herders, and dogs who have learned to herd. These are not a problem.

After a while, the sheep got used to being ridden, and got used to the presence of the children, and the confusion wouldn't happen.

Han Cheng followed Lao Yang and the others out of the gate of the courtyard with the sheep, and stood here watching them drive the sheep away from the tribe.

Under Han Cheng's watchful eye, during the period of walking from the courtyard to the outside, several children have successfully climbed onto the sheep's back.

Han Cheng watched this scene and smiled unconsciously.

"Dad, ride a sheep."

Little Pea, who came out with Han Cheng, looked at the group of children riding on the sheep and following the flock away, and said enviously.

"You're still young, wait until you grow taller in the next year before going to ride a sheep."

Han Cheng rubbed his silly son's head with a smile and said with a smile.

Then he lay down on the ground not far away and rolled lazily there. The adorable giant panda smiled and said, "Go ride Tuan Tuan, Tuan Tuan rides even more mighty and domineering."

As a result, Tuan Tuan, who had nothing to do and was cute and rolled around there, suffered a disaster, and suffered the disaster of pond fish.

Watching this guy being pushed and pushed by Little Pea for a long time before reluctantly standing up from the ground, and then looking innocently at his giant panda with Little Pea on his back, Han Cheng suddenly found his conscience It actually hurts a bit.

Sure enough, being cute is the kingly way, and the rest have to stand aside.

However, this kid in my family should not be too bad at riding skills in the future. After all, this kid wanted to ride the so-called iron-eating beast when he was still walking unsteadily. This really started from a baby of……

On the field, from time to time, there would be the sound of a whip cracking the air.

This is a warning to these sheep from shepherds like the old sheep.

Of course, sometimes this kind of warning can also become a kind of guidance.

For example, these flocks of sheep are walking around with the old sheep who keep blowing their whips.

After leading the flock to a place with good grass, Lao Yang and others relaxed their supervision on the flock and let them graze here.

Only when some sheep ran too far and showed signs of wanting to leave the herd, they would blow their whips.

If the sound of the whip can't make these lambs who want to go astray come to their senses, some of the old sheep will bend down to pick up a stone, or something like dirt, and throw it far away towards the sheep. .

Because they often herd sheep, these sheep herders are almost the strongest in the tribe in throwing stones with their bare hands, and they are basically accurate in throwing stones.

Accurate head is no less than the teacher who throws chalk head in later generations.

And when these sheep are thrown on stones, they will basically jump in place, and then quickly turn around and run towards the flock.

However, unlike the serenity of the past, today's flock seems a little uneasy, especially those rams with horns on their heads.

In the past they were the only ones who rode the ewes, but today everything looks different.

A group of small two-legged beasts were mixed into the flock, and they still wanted to climb on their backs if there was nothing to do, which was really hard for the sheep to accept.

But they don't have many ways to deal with these little two-legged beasts...

Most of the children are not mature, and they are all fresh in doing things. In the first few days, they had a strong interest in being able to follow the old sheep to play in the vast world, and to ride on the back of the sheep. After living similar days for several consecutive days, I feel a little bored and don't want to go.

After Wu knew what these children were thinking, he was very angry. He took a crutch and prepared to teach them a lesson so that they could remember.

Unlike some parents in later generations who dote on their children without limit, the witch who also loves children is really unambiguous when it is time to do something.

It's the same as him killing his favorite rabbits one by one with a stick, and then skinning and eating the meat.

Han Cheng told Wu in detail about the idea of ​​donkey cavalry and the method of raising these children.

Although Wu hadn't fully understood the meaning of donkey cavalry, he felt very good after hearing Han Cheng, the Son of God, say yes.

Therefore, I was very angry when I saw these children didn't want to ride sheep after a few days.

This is a matter of great significance to the tribe. The Son of God has been entrusted to you. If you don't handle it well, how can you succeed?

Seeing the kind-hearted and kind-hearted witch on weekdays, these children were immediately terrified, and two of them were timid, and even cried when they were young.

These children in the tribe are all fierce when they play on weekdays, with a wildness unique to this era, but they are really afraid of the adults in the tribe.

Especially the giants in the tribe such as Han Cheng, Wu, and Da Shixiong.

Han Cheng saw this situation, but did not stop Wu's behavior. He also suffered from broom bumps when he was a child, and he knew that sometimes children really need to be beaten to loosen their skin.

In many cases, this is much more useful than simple preaching. Simple preaching will not grow on the body, but broom bumps can be actually drawn to the body, which can make people remember.

Of course, such a method must also have corresponding supporting measures. You can't beat them faintly, and at the same time, you can't beat them repeatedly.

Don't ask Han Cheng why he understands these things so clearly, and is able to speak in a consistent manner. It hurts to talk too much.

So, after Wu beat each of these children with two sticks, Han Cheng appeared here at the right time.

"Do you know why you were beaten?"

Han Cheng knelt down and looked at them, and asked as kindly as possible.

"Y-know. I, we don't want to ride sheep..."

A child replied, sobbing.

As people who have been exposed to Mandarin since childhood, these children have a very high level of Mandarin. After all, it is their mother tongue.

Han Cheng shook his head, and reached out to wipe the tears off his face.

"It's true, but it's also not right."

"Why did you ask you to ride a sheep? It's not just for fun, but because you can ride a sheep proficiently at this time, and when the time comes, you can ride a donkey better, and you can even ride a running donkey." Wield weapons, draw bows and arrows, attack those enemies who dare to invade our tribe, and defend our tribe.

Do you want to be a big hero in the tribe? Do you want to take up arms and defend our tribe when someone comes to invade our tribe? "

After Han Cheng talked for a while, he looked at these children who had just been beaten and looked aggrieved or fearful, and raised his volume to ask.

This is not to faint, that is, after the child has been beaten, let them understand why they were beaten and what they did wrong.

Only in this way can it have the desired effect.

After all, beating people is not the purpose, making them understand the truth is the purpose.

After being told by Han Cheng, these children who had just been beaten immediately regained their spirits.

Over the years, Han Cheng's conscious education of loving the tribe has been very successful. After Han Cheng linked riding a sheep with defending the tribe and becoming a great hero of the tribe, these children who were beaten immediately became uneasy. Same up.

"think!"

"think!"

These children said aloud one after another, with some firmness and longing.

Adults still worship heroes, not to mention these children who are at the age of fantasy.

"Very good! You guys are awesome! But it's not enough to just think about it, you also need to have skills. Without the original people, how can you possibly be able to defend the tribe and become a great hero?"

After Han Cheng affirmed these children, he made heuristic inquiries.

After being asked by Han Cheng, these children fell into thinking one by one, and felt that what Shenzi said was very reasonable.

"Then do you now know why witches beat you?"

Han Cheng asked again.

"Yes, it's because we didn't study hard enough."

"It's because by riding a sheep, I can make a great contribution to the tribe when the time comes..."

Listening to these children's childish answers, Han Cheng showed a hearty smile on his face, and the witch beside him cracked his mouth with many missing teeth and laughed.

At the same time, some enlightenment rose in my heart.

From Shenzi's operation just now, he felt as if he had learned something again.

"Study hard in the future, and become a useful person to the tribe after you learn your skills. If you don't study hard, I will still fight!"

Wu put away his smile and said to these children, and paused vigorously on the ground with the crutch in his hand, looking very intimidating.

Of course, for children, these alone are not enough. In addition to spiritual encouragement and the threat of crutches, they also need to be rewarded with tangible things.

Carrot plus stick is a good way.

"You have been studying hard for a while, and after twenty days, I will check your results.

But time will hold a little competition for you to see which of you rides the sheep better.

The top three riders are rewarded and the last three are punished. "

Han Cheng said to them with a smile, and casually moved the exams and rankings of later generations, and after making some slight changes, he announced them to the children.

Exams, rankings based on the results of the exams, and rewards and punishments based on the rankings are a very good system.

After today's operations, the children in the tribe who were selected by Han Cheng to train in the direction of real donkey cavalry no longer said that they didn't want to ride sheep.

On the contrary, in the time to come, when the old sheep and the others went out to graze the sheep, they rode the sheep very seriously.

Becoming a hero in the tribe and defending the tribe is a lofty goal. Receiving rewards for the top three good grades is the direction of recent efforts, but compared to these two, not being the last three, the impact of punishment on these children maximum.

After all, children also need face, and no one wants to be compared by others if they are good-looking.

After learning about the status of these children from Lao Yang and the others, Han Cheng and Wu seemed very happy.

In the following days, for Han Cheng, he suddenly became leisurely. The most thing Han Cheng did was to stay in the tribe and be a baby daddy.

Holding the little girl and taking the son around in the tribe.

After wandering around in the tribe for a while, I will go out of the tribe and wander in the fields around the tribe.

Sometimes, they would catch some grasshoppers for Little Peas and feed them to the chickens and ducks.

When you meet those big ones, leave them, take off the wings, get out some internal organs in the pile, marinate them with salt, wrap them in eggs, fry them in a frying pan, fish them out and eat them One sip, the taste is indescribably wonderful.

Crunchy, chicken flavor.

Little Peas, Xiao Xing'er, and other minors in the tribe were all excited when they saw those lively grasshoppers.

Even reluctant to feed them to chickens...
