I'm doing infrastructure in ancient times

In the lush dense forest, the trees block out the sky and the sun. I don't know how many years it has been here, and the sun has not been seen here for a long time.

The old trees with luxuriant branches are surrounded by tangled vines, and there are bushes everywhere, and behind them, there are faint and lively voices.

A stone pot was placed on a burning match, and the broth in the pot kept tumbling, and the tangy aroma drifted away with the rising white smoke. A group of people wrapped in dirty animal skins panted around the stone pot , The halazi in the mouth almost didn't drip into the pot.

Lei Lie cast a disgusted look at the man who put his head in front of the pot, and kicked the man's ass vigorously.

"Go outside and watch, be careful, be careful that some wild beasts are attracted..."

The person who was kicked was very reluctant, and muttered, "Didn't they already send that outside, no wild beasts will come..."

Lei Lie narrowed his eyes and stared at this person dangerously, "What? Do you dare not listen to me now?"

His tone was raised, and his face was unpredictable. The people who had been making a fuss before were suddenly quiet like chickens, and the person who was kicked was very obedient.

After peeling away the layers of vines, this talent got out from inside.

Shaking off the fallen leaves and remaining snow on his body, his honest face showed a bit of dissatisfaction, and he complained, "I always let me come out to watch, why don't you let them come..."

He let out a breath of hot air into his hands, and rubbed his palms vigorously, trying to keep out the cold.

The heavy snow has stopped for a few days, and the previous snow is gradually melting, as if washed by water, green and clear, shaking slightly.

There was a little confusion in his eyes, he looked up at the top of his head, the leaves on his head were motionless, and he couldn't feel any wind and grass in the air, turning his head to look at the slightly trembling leaves, his eyes were even more puzzled.

If there is no wind, the leaves will move?

At this time, the air was extremely quiet, and the one or two birdsong that could be heard occasionally in the past, but now there was no sound, as if he was alone in the whole world.

This is not normal.

Suddenly reacting, he immediately stood up, opened his mouth to shout, and there was a sound of piercing through the air.

"Whoosh-"

His neck was pierced by an arrow, and his body fell instantly, his eyes were wide open, and there was a broken "hoo hoo" sound from his mouth.

Through the layers of leaves, he saw the blue sky, but unfortunately he would never be able to drink that boiling hot soup again.

A burly man jumped out from behind the leaves. He looked at the fallen Liuren expressionlessly, stretched out his hand and rushed behind him, and immediately many men appeared in the empty place.

Each of them held a sheep's horn bow in his hand, and then a group of people rushed up, each holding a spear in his hand.

The burly man led the people behind him and tiptoed towards the direction behind Liu Ren.

Jiuli tribe.

Cheng Yang was fiddling with a wooden wheel in his hand, holding a piece of broken pottery in his right hand, and slowly polishing the wooden wheel in his hand.

In front of him, there were several earthen kilns emitting white smoke, all of which were firewood for burning charcoal.

"What is this in your hand?"

Cheng Yang's mind trembled, and when he regained his composure, there was already a small hole in the wooden wheel.

The broken pottery shards are very brittle, and the wooden wheel under his hand is also very difficult to sharpen. Every time he sharpens it, he must concentrate on it. If he is not careful, the two objects in his hand will be destroyed.

Cheng Yang sighed slightly, looked up and found that it was the old man.

"I want to make a mold." Cheng Yang put away the broken pottery in his hand, planning to continue making it next time.

It's a delicate job, and it won't work if someone disturbs it.

The old man nodded, and didn't ask what the mold was, but moved to Cheng Yang and sat down in silence.

He was not young anymore, Cheng Yang tilted his head slightly, and he could see that his long hair had been dyed white. Almost all the tribesmen in the north had disheveled hair, even Cheng Yang was no exception.

It's still winter now, and it does feel a little bit warmer to drape your hair down.

But there are very few people whose hair is so well-groomed and hangs down softly like the old man.

Cheng Yang felt the old man's silence, and after a little thought in his heart, he knew what he was worrying about.

Looking at the sky where the sun was setting, Yan and his tribe hadn't come back yet, which was much later than they expected in advance.

It's winter now, and the days are not long. After sitting beside Cheng Yang for a while, the old man saw that it was getting dark.

"Haven't they come back yet?" Feng Lei asked, he reached out and scratched his hair, not knowing what to do.

"My soup is all cooked, if I don't come back, it will probably be cold."

Now that the climate is low, if hot food is not eaten in time, it is indeed easy to cool down.

"Uncle Fenglei, didn't I give you a basket of charcoal before? You pick out a smaller one and put it under the clay pot."

"Is this really possible?" Feng Lei looked at Cheng Yang with a hint of disbelief.

The food in the tribe is entrusted to him all the year round, so he also has some experience. If there is less firewood, it will be burned out soon. What is the use of such a case?

"It's really useful." Cheng Yang nodded, and he emphasized, "Remember to put a small piece, I remember there are bits and pieces of charcoal in it, you can pick it out..."

This small charcoal is mainly used to keep hot food warm. If the charcoal is too large, it will be a waste.

It is almost an incomparable exchange to burn firewood into charcoal, and now it takes him four or five hours to burn charcoal in an earthen kiln. The whole process is time-consuming and requires a lot of materials, so naturally I don't want to waste anything.

"Okay, I'll try it."

Fenglei decided to trust Chengyang, after all, it took so much effort to make it, besides, almost every time Cheng Yang made something extremely good, even the black lump was probably the same.

After seeing off Fenglei, Cheng Yang had no time to breathe a sigh of relief when another figure appeared.

"Cheng Yang..."

Cheng Yang frowned and looked at the person who came, "What's the matter?"

Standing in front of him was Ya. Because of the previous events, Cheng Yang didn't like Ya's character very much, but the two sides rarely met, and she was Yan's daughter, and Yan had saved Cheng Yang's life, so Cheng Yang Every time Yang sees Ya, he still maintains a basic polite attitude.

Fortunately, the two of them didn't meet many times, but this time it was obviously Ya who took the initiative to find her.

"Why hasn't my dad come back yet?"

Ya is a few years older than Cheng Yang, and she is also much taller than him now, but she is worried about her father in her heart, so she subconsciously asks Cheng Yang to solve it.

She was reprimanded by Cheng Yang in front of everyone for snatching the small basket before, which was a very embarrassing thing for her, since she was obviously much taller than Cheng Yang, but every time she saw him, she I was inexplicably nervous and scared.

Ya's heart is very complicated. She doesn't want to see Cheng Yang, but she is really worried about her father. Thinking of how her father was injured and carried back by the tribe last time, Ya panics. What should she do if something happens to her father? ?

Ya's age was only in junior high school in later generations, Cheng Yang calmed down, thinking that he shouldn't be so fierce, and she has indeed matured a lot during this time, at least he didn't see Ya stealing other people's things again It's over.

"Don't worry, the boss and the others will be fine..."

"Then why haven't they come back? It's dark now..."

The more Ya thought about it, the more anxious she became, she even spoke in a tearful tone, "Will, will they meet..."

"No." Cheng Yang looked calm, "The headmen and the others had already grasped the specific location of the group of exiles before they set off, and they went directly to their destination..."

Cheng Yang interrogated those captured exiles last time. Although he finally let them go, he manipulated them and sprinkled some strange-smelling things on them. At the same time, he kept sending people to Followed them secretly, so they have already touched their lair.

Besides, Yan has carefully prepared to go this time, not to mention those exiles, even if he encounters wild beasts on the road, he is capable of dealing with them. Regarding Yan and the others who haven't come back for so long, he actually has some doubts in his heart. An idea, but it's hard to say it now.

Seeing that the old man is so calm, he probably guessed it in his heart.

Ya was still worried, she looked at Cheng Yang, "But..."

"Okay, you can go back and wait in peace." The old man said to Ya, "Don't pester Cheng Yang all the time, isn't he also staying in the tribe like you, how can he know so much."

Ya was a little unconvinced, but she thought that the speaker was the deputy leader of the tribe, and even her father respected him a lot, so she stopped reluctantly, and she sat next to the two of them and followed them waited.

"Quick, hurry up, come!"

"Is there anyone, come out quickly..."

The yelling sounded, as if it came from outside the tribe, and the three stood up immediately after hearing the words, and walked towards the speaker.

Ya ran over all the way, and what she saw was a panting clansman. This was a man who had gone to deal with exiles with her father before, but he was the only one who came back now? !

Ya grabbed his arm and asked hastily, "Where is my dad, why didn't my dad come back with you?"

"You, you let go first..." The visitor was panting, and his speech was intermittent, trying very hard to tear Ya's hand away, "Quick, hurry up and call someone..."

"Tell me what's wrong with my dad first?" Ya's tears were about to fall, but she didn't let go after grabbing the person.

Cheng Yang and the old man arrived one step later and quickly pulled Ya away.

"You let him rest first, how can he talk like this?"

Fortunately, at this time, many people in the tribe heard the voice and rushed over one after another. Looking at the direction of the man who came back, they ran over without saying much.

"Hey, wait, wait!"

The man regained his strength, stopped the few people who were about to leave, and hurriedly shouted, "Get a basket first, get the basket before you go!"

"Those exiles are not our opponents at all. Except for a few people, everyone else has been eliminated by us..."

Cheng Yang was taken aback, and didn't dare to think about what the so-called addition meant.

All the weapons in the tribe were provided by him. He had already expected such consequences from the beginning, but he still couldn't help being shocked when he heard the news, and he didn't know how many people there were.

But apart from them, there is no other way to solve it.

The dense forest itself is a place of exile. Those people have been exiled there, but they are still restless. They often come to harass them and harass their northern tribes. If they are not eliminated, sooner or later it will be the north that will suffer.

The author has something to say: When I was coding, I thought that there was something to explain in the writing, but I forgot it after I finished coding. There is absolutely no emotional drama with a protagonist. If there is a female character, it has nothing to do with the emotional drama. Even when the protagonist grows up later, the tribe may want to arrange a spouse for him, and the candidate may be mentioned, but there is no emotional drama, because the protagonist will Righteously refused, hhhhh, when I thought about this article at the time, I felt that it was difficult for a modern person to have a common topic with his contemporaries when he traveled to ancient times, and it was also difficult to understand Australopithecus (or Caveman?) Feeling, nah, the setting is like this~
