Immediately, all the lotus roots buried in the ashes were pulled out.

Picking up a piece and throwing it gently on the ground to shake off some of the ash covered on its surface, Han Cheng handed it to Wu, signaling Wu to peel off the outer layer of skin and eat it.

Han Cheng himself picked up a section of lotus root that was a bit hot, and began to peel and eat the roasted lotus root.

When using a fire to cook things like sweet potatoes, potatoes, taro, lotus root, etc., it is best to open up the charcoal pile when the fire is about to stop.

Otherwise, if you put it too early, it is very likely that the burned thing will be carbonized, and the whole or most of it cannot be eaten.

But it can't be left too late, if it's too late, it won't be cooked.

Han Cheng found a few thick green leaves and folded them together, wrapped the lower half of the burned lotus root, held it in his hand, and began to peel it from one end.

As the outer layer of hard skin was peeled off, some of the heat sealed in it suddenly burst out.

After peeling off the upper half of the skin, Han Cheng couldn't wait to try it out. It tasted very good, and it was more tender than boiled lotus root.

Watching from the side, Little Pea nodded her feet anxiously, opened her mouth, and kept calling Dad.

However, Han Cheng still put the lotus root in his hand to Bai Xuemei's side, let Bai Xuemei eat two bites, and then gave it to Little Pea.

The typical parent is true love.

The Wu at the side, and some other people, also followed Han Cheng's example, picking leaves from a big tree, wrapping one end of the roasted lotus root with the leaves, peeling and eating them in their hands, and they all liked it. Never speak, especially those with poor teeth.

When everyone had almost eaten the food, the sun gradually set to the west, and from time to time, a flock of birds would fly from afar and land in the forest on the island.

The originally quiet island suddenly became lively with the sound of birds chirping.

At this point, it was time to leave the island.

There were a lot of people who came to the island, and they went back in two trips as before.

Han Cheng did not leave in the first wave, but sat on the beach by the lake, looking at the lake in the distance, waiting for the raft to come for the second time.

After waiting for a while, the left raft came back again. Han Cheng and the people who stayed on the island boarded the raft together. Under the continuous sliding of the oars, they left the island and passed away towards the shore.

After the raft came out from the east side of the island, the last gleam of the red sun in the sky disappeared.

The western sky is covered with sunset glows of different shades, reflecting the calm lake surface into the color of the sky. When one looks down, one can't tell whether it is on the water surface or in the air for a while.

In the western sky, there are birds soaring, fluttering their wings and flying, reflecting the sunset, only people can see the outline of the black shadow.

"The sunset and the lone duck fly together, and the autumn water and the long sky are the same color."

Standing on the raft, looking at the situation, I couldn't help blurting out the famous lines from Wang Bo's famous works that had been sealed in my memory.

By the time Han Cheng and the others went ashore, the sunset glow had also disappeared a lot, and dusk gradually shrouded it.

Together with the chill of the night.

At such a moment, everyone stepped on the weeds, covered in twilight, and headed all the way to the Longmen Inn under construction.

About halfway through the journey, the sky was already dark.

After walking for less than two miles, the night fell completely. In the dark blue night sky, there were stars shining, and the half moon also radiated brilliance, taking over from the sun to continue to illuminate those who returned late.

Looking around, the scenery became even more blurred.

Little Pea was held in Han Cheng's arms, followed by several other minors, the younger ones were also carried and walked by other adults, and the older ones, together with Han Cheng, Wu Baixuemei and the others, Surrounded by tribal warriors holding rattan shields and other weapons, they walked forward.

The following dogs are on the periphery, walking and guarding...

In the early morning of the next day, the "tour group" of the Qingque Tribe, which was protected by more than a dozen people headed by Junior Brother Sha with weapons, left the Longmen Inn under construction and headed towards the Tongshan residential area along the Bronze Expressway.

The upper bridge of this section of the road has not yet been built, and donkey carts cannot pass in some places.

But there is no need to worry, you can bypass the temporary construction on the side. Although the road is not smooth enough, it is not a problem to drive for a short distance.

This is the same as the damaged bridge on the asphalt road between counties and counties. When the passing vehicles are approaching here, they need to go down to the dirt road to bypass it...

"Oh~!"

On the bare copper mountain, someone looked at the distance and couldn't help shouting, feeling particularly happy in his heart.

Some people, such as Bai Xuemei, squatted on the edge of the green or blue pools on the top of the copper mountain, full of surprises, and couldn't help touching the jewel-like water with their hands...

Under Tongshan, Han Cheng, Wu, Junior Brother Sha, Shang and others began to walk slowly around the residential area of ​​Tongshan.

To see those furnaces, to go outside and measure the land around the Copper Mountain settlement with your feet.

Looking at the large farmland around, and the crops such as millet and soybeans growing in the farmland.

Along the way, Wu, who came to Tongshan residential area for the first time, had a smile on his face that never disappeared. He looked cheerful everywhere, as happy as a little pea of ​​a few years old...

The sun slanted west again, announcing that another day was coming to an end.

Wu, who climbed up the entire stone wall of the Tongshan residential area, looked at the Tongshan residential area under the setting sun and the large farmland with crops outside, with a childlike smile on his face.

Before he came here, he knew about the Tongshan residential area, that there were furnaces for refining copper and tin ingots, and that there were farmlands around the Tongshan residential area.

But these are just what others say, and I have not witnessed it with my own eyes.

Now that he came to the Tongshan residential area in person, saw all of this with his own eyes, and saw something much better than he imagined, the joy in his heart really overflowed.

His eyes searched around, and finally landed in the courtyard, on the blue bird flag fluttering slightly with the evening wind in the setting sun.

This house, everything around it, belongs to their tribe!

Before leaving the main tribe for this trip, Wu knew that his tribe was already very powerful. Now, after walking along the Bronze Expressway, Wu had a more intuitive understanding of the strength of his tribe.

In the setting sun, holding Xiao Xing'er's arms with both hands, Han Cheng, who let his little daughter walk for a while, handed her daughter over to Bai Xuemei who was at the side, and Han Cheng walked up the steps to the wall.

When he came to Wu's side, he didn't speak, but quietly looked at the Tongshan residential area under the setting sun just like Wu did.

"Isn't it beautiful?"

After a long time, Han Cheng asked Wu with a smile.

"nice!"

Wu nodded vigorously and answered in the affirmative.

"Our tribe will become even more beautiful in the future! In another five or ten years, if you stand on it and look at it, the surrounding scenery will be so beautiful that you won't want to blink."

Han Cheng looked at Wu and said with a smile.

Wu nodded vigorously again, he believed what the Son of God said.
