my angel

After resting for a day, I set off again the next day. My mood and pace were extremely relaxed. The whole team was orderly and lively.

The young Ah Mu who pulled out the child's thorn that night was chatting with his companions: "My boy was healed that night by the God Envoy. Take out the little sun, under the light of the little sun, it is brighter than the daytime, and my kid has been cured, look how skinny he is now."

Another Ah Mu said: "I heard from my family that the lightning last night was summoned by the envoy.

Gather the wolves in the canyon and catch the turtle in a urn. "

"What is "catch a turtle in a urn?"

"It's just catching a turtle in a urn, do you think it's easy or not?"

"Hahaha."

"This is what my family heard from the patriarch."

"Our envoy is really powerful. He can summon the sun as well as thunder and lightning."

"Yes, yes, I have sworn a long time ago that I will faithfully follow the envoy of God for the rest of my life."

"It seems that someone is not."

"Don't quarrel, don't quarrel, our God Envoy is the most powerful God Envoy in hundreds of years, our blessing. How lucky"

Everyone sighed.

The group continued to move forward for more than ten days, and when they migrated to 20 days, they were about 500 kilometers away from the camp.

When I came across a wide river, I asked the warriors ahead, and they said that it was wider than this in summer.

Just swam.

Bai Fucheng and He Qinghuan looked at each other, without saying a word: it's shipbuilding.

Now the temperature is low, and the water is freezing cold, but it hasn't frozen yet.

Moreover, cattle and sheep will definitely not cross the river. It will be troublesome if such a deep place submerges their camel racks.

Children and the elderly cannot cross the river either.

Ships must be built.

Bai Fucheng looked at the surrounding forest and wanted to cut down trees for lumber.

Because no iron ore has been found, the tools are too outdated. I use stone knives and stone axes to chop down a tree, but I can't cut down a tree for a long time. Finally, I was kicked down by the warrior.

He Qinghuan said: "Kill the sheep and make a sheepskin raft."

There are dozens of sheep in the tribe, all of which are slaughtered.

It cannot be obtained by hunting, because it is a spear, and the tip of the spear is ground with a stone and the skin will be broken, so it cannot be used as a sheepskin raft.

Bai Fucheng started to operate under the guidance of He Qinghuan, and a circle of people watched and studied.

How to kill a sheep.

Of course, the blood of the sheep will not be wasted. It was made into a clay pot and sprinkled with salt by the clansmen to make delicious and tender sheep blood. Put it in the sheep soup, drink a large bowl in the cold morning and evening, and feel comfortable.

Now that the weather is cold, sheep blood can be stored for a few days.

Cut off the sheep's head first, and then slowly peel off the whole sheep's skin from the sheep's neck, without scratching a little bit.

Then the sheepskin is depilated, blown up to make the skin tire swell, pour a small amount of oil, salt and water, and evenly cover the whole skin tire.

Then tie the neck tightly with a leather rope, because the leather rope will expand when it meets water, and it will become tighter and tighter, so there will be no air leakage.

After a few days of drying, the leather has a yellow and transparent texture. If it is checked for air leakage, the sheepskin is successful.

In order to ensure the success rate, the process of slaughter and production is all skinned by skilled and careful women in the tribe.

Therefore, except for one air leak, the other fifty were successful, and there were still a few alive.

Taking advantage of the drying time, the hard and smooth-textured Fraxinus mandshurica branches were cut down.

About the thickness of the wrist, tied in a criss-cross pattern with cowhide ropes to form a square frame.

He Qinghuan said: A large sheepskin raft can be made of more than 600 sheepskins and can carry 20 to 30 tons of goods.

It takes more than 200 kilometers to go straight from Lanzhou to Baotou every day, and it takes 12 days to arrive.

Therefore, the meaning of finding land with rivers is not only for irrigation but also for the convenience of transportation. "

Bai Fucheng promised: "In the future, we will make 600 sheepskin rafts."

The children were amazed, and we wanted to sit too.

"Okay, I'll let you sit down right away."

After the sheepskin tires are dried, they are tied shoulder to shoulder on the wooden frame of Fraxinus mandshurica in the order of the first five, the fourth, and the last five.

The wooden raft tied with hemp rope is laid on it, which is more flat and safer for people to sit on or put things on.

In this way, fifty sheepskins are made into ten sheepskin rafts, which can transport one cow at a time, and seven or eight people can sit around them.

Or a dozen people.

If calculated in this way, 750 people plus more than 50 cattle, a few sheep, and chickens will need 80 trips to be transported.

Each sheepskin raft needs to be crossed less than 20 times, because it is the first time for all people and animals to ride a sheepskin raft, and the time of ink stains produced by the first strange fear should be counted.

So time is very tense.

Preparations for crossing the river have been made on the first day:

For the sake of safety, it is better to let the warriors with good water skills lead a hemp rope to the past.

Then pull the wrist-thick rope with a thin rope and fix it to a tree far away from the shore on the opposite bank.

Fixed here too.The warriors on the raft can drag the rope across.

A rope was brought back and used as a raft for the return journey.

There is a warrior with good water skills as the boatman on each raft, who is responsible for pulling the rope to advance and rescue people who fall into the water.

I had already practiced the first day, and the water flow in autumn began to slow down, not as intense as in summer, so I quickly mastered the driving skills of sheepskin rafts.

In the early morning of the next day, just as the fish belly was white and I could see things dimly, I started to cross the river.

Because the days are starting to get shorter now, if you don't finish the journey in one day, it will be very troublesome to stay.

After the advance warriors crossed over, they met on the opposite side.

The raft returns along another rope on the opposite side. In this way, one rope goes and one rope returns, which greatly improves the efficiency.

It was a lot of effort when children, old people, and cattle and sheep went up.

The old man has been on land all his life, and he has never sat on such a floating raft, and his feet accidentally fell into the water

No panic.

There was also an old man who had to swim over, but He Qinghuan's persuasion was ineffective, so he had to let the warrior watch him, and swam over while holding on to the rope.

The witch doctor Ah Mu sat calmly in the middle of the raft, looking at the old man swimming in the water with contempt, he couldn't believe the words of the envoy.

You deserve to suffer from the cold, and I don't sympathize with you at all.

On the other side, a medical team immediately prepared a bowl of hot ginger soup for each person who fell into the water to drive away the cold.

Children are another situation. When they are on the raft, it is: Eminem, I am afraid, I will not go.

Sit on the raft, float, it's okay, before you know it, you've already landed.

When getting off the raft: Oh, it's so fun, I want to sit on it.

Niu is dead stubborn, in order to prevent him from overturning the goods, let him pass alone, even if he doesn't go up, even if my nose hurts, I won't go up.

He Qinghuan thought of a way to let the warriors sit on the raft and lead the cattle to swim over. All the cattle can swim, including the scalper.Not to mention bison.

The sheep got on the raft obediently.

He Qinghuan crossed the river after watching the cattle and sheep get on the raft.

The water flow is stable, the sky is high and the air is clear, the clouds are blooming, and the forest is dense. It is the season when the colors are more beautiful than spring.

It feels like traveling on the Yellow River.

Why?That's it?

The warrior saw that He Qinghuan hadn't sat enough: "Sir, do you want to sit again?"

He Qinghuan readily accepted: "Hey, I forgot something, I have to go back and tell them to bring the meat first."

The warrior smiled and carried He Qinghuan back from the other side, and back again.

Bai Fucheng looked at him dotingly, and finally sat down enough to jump down from the top.

"Qing'er's idea is good, fast, and labor-saving. It can also be carried away.

If it is a wooden raft, it will be very troublesome. "

Said proudly: "What can we do? Except having children."

Bai Fucheng kissed him and led him to the tent.

"This big river is a natural barrier, some wild animals cannot cross the river, and there may be more wild animals on the river side.

Usually when it freezes in winter, they go over the ice to forage. "

"How many bullets do you have?"

"There are three shots left."

"Where's our Thunderbolt?"

"There are still ten kilograms."

"So, we try to avoid encounters with large beasts."

He Qinghuan nodded.

The meeting that night was about how to deal with a large beast, and designed several plans to prevent problems before they happen and plan strategies.

By the way, I named this quiet river Jingjiang. After naming it, it is convenient to say anything.

No.20 One day, the migrating troops were moving slowly, and the advance team in front came back and said, "Meet a migrating tribe."
