I'm doing infrastructure in ancient times

Three days passed in a flash, and those clansmen who came back from the south had also rested, and Cheng Yang planned to leave with them.

No matter how Meng pestered him, Cheng Yang didn't take him away in the end. Meng was naturally very unhappy about this. In order to divert his attention, Cheng Yang specifically said that he had an important task to take care of.

"You mean let me look at those millet seeds?"

Looking at Cheng Yang suspiciously, he suspected that his words were fooling him. After all, he had been fooled by him a lot these years, so he must improve his memory.

"What's so good about those millet seeds? They are planted there, and they can't run long. Why do I need to look at them..."

"It's because they have no feet and can't run on their own, so you have to watch them all the more." Cheng Yang said seriously, "The millet field is so close to the pasture, if those wild horses eat our millet seeds, we Hasn't the tribe been working in vain all these years?"

Meng's expression immediately became serious. He remembered that he had to be busy every year when he planted the seeds, and Cheng Yang hadn't tasted those corns so far in order to save them. If those wild horses ate them first, wouldn't he die of anger?

Meng felt that what Cheng Yang said made sense. Usually, he, Cheng Yang and some other friends were almost staring at the pasture, and those wild horses didn't come over. If he and Cheng Yang left, wouldn't it be given to them? Can you take this opportunity?

"Chengyang, don't worry, I will take care of these millet seeds for you." Meng looked cautious, and no longer shouted to follow the tribe to the south.

Cheng Yang nodded in satisfaction. From his point of view, Meng wanted to follow him so much because he wanted to prove his own strength. Now that he was given such an important task, Meng felt that his responsibility was very important. Naturally, he would not Will cry again to go with them.

Jiang Meng was calmed down, and the millet species he was worried about was also supported, and Cheng Yang could finally go on the road with peace of mind.

This is the second time he has left the tribe. Cheng Yang sighed in his heart. Now he has been in this time and space for many years, but he has always been active around his own tribe and has hardly set foot in other areas. He has to sigh in his heart. Where did he think that he would stay in one place for such a long time before?

Because he had been in this dense forest before, Cheng Yang naturally knew the degree of danger in it, not to mention that the men like Barto were regular customers who traveled between the north and the south, and they had already developed a cautious character.

A group of people walked through the dense forest cautiously. Even if they suddenly encountered one or two wild animals, they were quickly shot and killed by them.

After walking in this forest for a day, Cheng Yang gradually adapted to the surrounding environment. In fact, after staying in this kind of wild for a long time, people will become more sensitive. Whenever one or two wild animals jump out, the instinct of his body will make him act immediately Reaction, of course, whether they can escape smoothly still depends on the acuity of their skills.

Cheng Yang turned his ears sideways and heard the steps under his feet.

Barto and the others who were following him paused for an instant, their hands tightly gripping their weapons gradually tightened, and a tense atmosphere filled the surroundings.

But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement.

After a while, finally someone couldn't hold back anymore, Barto squeezed his throat, and asked Cheng Yang in a low voice, "But what's wrong?"

When they saw Cheng Yang stop at first, they thought he had found some kind of beast, but it had been a long time, and they didn't see any movement. The key is that Cheng Yang stood there motionless and let them touch At the same time, I couldn't help but feel nervous.

Cheng Yang frowned, looked around and found nothing, but somehow he felt that something was wrong here.

This area was a bit too quiet, as if there were no living things around,

The last time he encountered this kind of situation, it was in the python's territory. At that time, the surrounding area was very quiet. It was because the nearby creatures were afraid of the python's breath and avoided it.

Just now, he subconsciously felt that there were ferocious beasts hidden here, but after a long time, there was no movement, which made him have a little bit of doubt about his previous guess. Maybe he was really thinking too much?

"Let's move on." Cheng Yang pursed his lips and looked around vigilantly, "Be alert on the way."

Regardless of whether there were wild animals or not, he felt that something was very wrong. As expected, Cheng Yang and the others had just walked for a while, and the strange feeling from before seemed to reappear.

He always felt that someone was staring at him along the way, and Cheng Yang pursed his lips tightly, but the other party did not show up for a long time, making people confused, whether it was an enemy or a friend.

Logically speaking, places other than the north are enemies to Jiuli, and they should be careful, but the other party's delay in showing up makes it difficult for them to feel malicious.

Cheng Yang didn't let go of his heart, but couldn't help approaching Barto, and asked in a low voice, "Is this the same way you walked this distance before?"

Barto was a little confused, "Is there something wrong here?"

He didn't see any wild beasts. It was the same before. They passed by here many times, but they had never encountered wild beasts here. Work is a safe place.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual about these people, Cheng Yang understood it in his heart. It is estimated that Barto and the others really didn't understand, but this also showed that the other party might really have no malicious intentions, or if Barto and the others were so ignorant , it is easy for the other party to sneak attack.

But the other party didn't want to show up, and it was difficult for Cheng Yang to take action, not to mention that he didn't get in the way of their affairs, so he put this matter aside for the time being and moved on.

After going through this section of the road, Cheng Yang felt normal. Although he saw a lot of wild beasts along the way, they were not difficult targets for them. Instead, they became rations delivered to their door.

"Going forward, you will be in the south."

Bator's face was solemn, Cheng Yang nodded slowly, and his expression became serious.

In fact, they have not been relaxed along the way, but the south is different from the dense forest after all. Although the wild beasts are terrifying, they can be killed, but if they are discovered by the people in the south, they should not act rashly, or else there will be fewer tribes suddenly. How could there be no doubts after falling in love with a person.

In the past three years, the Jiuli tribe has not sent anyone to the south. On the one hand, it is because the salt in the tribe is currently sufficient and there is no such need for the time being. The dace have colluded together, and when they come here, they will really go and never return.

Cheng Yang didn't send Barto and others to inquire about the news in the south at the beginning, but only started this year, so whether there have been any major changes in the south in the past three years, they are actually not sure in their hearts.

Cheng Yang asked his clansmen to inquire about the news at the risk of threats many times, just for the principle of knowing himself and the enemy, but this time he came here not just to inquire about the news.

Although there is currently no shortage of salt in the tribe, their salt is limited after all and will be used up one day. If they don't find a new source of salt, they may have to be controlled by the south.

So whether they can find the source of salt is even related to their future relationship with the south. If they can't find the source of salt, they will definitely not be able to completely fall out with these southerners.

Moreover, the people of the tribe will also be in fear and anxiety. Before the tits fought against the Wuyi people, it can be seen that the fighting power of these people in the south is not very strong, but they have always had a sense of superiority in front of the north for so many years. It is really because of the north If he asks them, if he doesn't find a new source of salt, he can't fundamentally change the mentality of his tribe.

Although Cheng Yang was worried, he was not too distressed.

Since the south can always provide them with salt, it means that there must be a source of salt in the south. In fact, he has always guessed in his heart whether there is a large salt mine in the south, or there is a bay, and the south happens to have mastered it. The method of refining salt, and Cheng Yang's heart is towards the latter.

Barto pointed Cheng Yang to several directions around him, and explained, "The forest on the left side is overgrown with thorns and wild beasts are lurking in the dark, which is very dangerous. Southerners generally don't go hunting here..."

Cheng Yang looked at the direction he was pointing. The terrain was indeed dangerous. If there were wild animals lurking, it would be difficult to detect. He nodded slowly. This kind of place is indeed dangerous, not to mention the south, even in the north of them. It is easy to regard this as a hunting spot, but it is also not suitable for them to hide here, otherwise there is a danger of being snatched away by wild beasts at any time.

"Go to the right for a while, the trees are sparser, and there are a lot of wild animals here, but they are not as dangerous as the previous place, and southerners usually hunt here..." Finally, his finger landed on a place farther away, where it was bare Yes, there are almost no trees to be seen.

"There are almost no trees there, and wild animals seldom go there..."

Wild animals seldom go because there are no trees for shelter, and it is difficult to hunt food, and it is estimated that people in the south rarely go there.

Barto nodded, "We usually lurk there."

Cheng Yang knew it in his heart, but it's not easy to hide in this bare area.

Barto smiled shyly, "We followed what you taught us, and waited until it was dark before touching it. We dug a lot of holes there and squatted in them during the day. Normally, they wouldn't be able to find them..."

However, every time you see someone coming, you have to withdraw in advance, and you have to fill up the hole and cover it up, which is quite troublesome.

So it is very important to choose a good place to dig a hole.

Cheng Yang had roughly figured out how to hide them, but now the sun was setting and it was getting late, they were still cats in the woods, planning to go to that barren place when it was completely dark.

Cheng Yang looked at the sky at the moment. Although the sun had set, there were still colorful sunset glows in the sky, reflecting the sky as if it had been burned by fire, as beautiful as an oil painting.

Cheng Yang narrowed his eyes slightly. If there are no accidents in this weather, tomorrow should be sunny, but when there is no rain, there will be few clouds in the sky. At night and the moon will shine tomorrow, people in the south will fall asleep again, and it will be his actions. good time.

Traveling at night, Cheng Yang naturally didn't want to engage in a surprise attack. After all, they only had such a small number of people.

If the other party didn't provoke them, Cheng Yang wouldn't do it badly, which didn't suit his style.
