I'm doing infrastructure in ancient times

As the night darkened, Cheng Yang, Bator and others came out of the invisible woods when they saw that the people in the south had returned to their respective tribes.

"We have to dig a hole quickly, or we'll be in trouble when it gets dark."

Barto is more experienced and has a keen sense of smell for wild beasts. If they don't have a suitable place to stay at night, they are likely to be harassed by wild beasts. The key is that they can't light the fire to avoid attracting the attention of the southerners. .

There is also a lot of attention to the selection of the cave. If the location is not well selected, not only will there be no concealment, but it will not be safe to sleep at night. They are now sleeping in the wild forest, and they will be buried in the belly of wild animals if they are not careful.

Cheng Yang didn't know much about this, but fortunately Barto and the others had already accumulated a lot of experience, so he just had to follow them.

"I'm going to be alone tonight."

Holding a stone knife in his hand, Cheng Yang dug the soil quickly, feeling a little annoyed in his heart, he should resist a hoe, the efficiency of digging the soil with a stone knife is really too low.

When he spoke, his tone was so flat that it took Barto a second to react and immediately objected.

"How is this possible? The leader said that you will follow us the whole time..." He was a little anxious. Now that he was away from home, if something happened to Cheng Yang, how would he explain it to the clan?The voice couldn't help but rise, "No matter where you go, we will follow, at least one helper!"

Cheng Yang glanced at him lightly, and Barto lowered his voice guiltily, "At least there is a helper..."

"Okay, but you can only follow one person." Cheng Yang was a little helpless, but he also knew that he wanted to act alone. Barto definitely disagreed, but it's not good to bring too many people, not only can't help at that time , maybe it will add to the chaos.

Barto was a little dissatisfied, but thinking about Cheng Yang's character, he also knew that he was not so easy to listen to, so he was the only one to compromise.

"Okay then, I'll follow you when the time comes."

In fact, he didn't know what Cheng Yang was going to do, but since he chose to go out at night, it must be a bit dangerous, and it was difficult for the clansmen left behind. He was not watching, so he was really worried that something would happen.

"Bator, don't worry, we will stay at the bottom of this pit honestly and never go out!"

"That's right, it's not the first time we've come here, we all understand..."

"Yes, yes, you can rest assured and go with Cheng Yang, we don't have to worry here..."

Looking at them like this, Barto was still very uneasy, and told him many times, "Remember not to fire, and don't be greedy, if you attract the beast..."

"Understand, understand! We all understand, so don't worry!"

They hide here at night, not only worrying about being discovered by the south, but also whether they will be discovered by passing wild animals. They must be cautious throughout the whole process, and they are not even allowed to eat food. Only during the day can they eat something that has been prepared in advance. Jerky.

After everything was arranged properly, Barto and Cheng Yang set off. Before leaving, Cheng Yang looked at the direction they left several times. He was really worried that he would not be able to find the way back.

Looking up at the night sky, it turned out that the moonlight was just right. Such moonlight allowed them to see the road ahead without lighting the torches. At this time, the night was already deep, and the people in the south probably had already fallen asleep.

Ba Tuo followed behind Cheng Yang. Seeing that he was about to walk towards the gathering point of the southern tribes, his heart beat faster and he asked nervously, "Cheng Yang, what are you doing?"

He followed Cheng Yang closely, but looked around, afraid of being caught.

"Why are you going to their tribe? If we are discovered..." Barto was a little anxious, but he had to speak under his breath. He didn't expect Cheng Yang's actions to be so reckless. In the past, he and his tribe were just Stealthily staring at the south from a distance, where did you get so close?

"Chengyang, let's go back, I think it's good for us to inquire like before, we can see clearly, we don't need to get so close..."

Cheng Yang stopped suddenly, and Barto, who had been chattering behind him, almost bumped into his back, but luckily his feet stepped on him suddenly.

"What's the matter? What's the matter?" Barto looked around nervously, "Did you find something? Or was it discovered?"

Cheng Yang bent down to pick up a relatively long log, and weighed it in his hand. The length and thickness were a bit like a walking stick.

Barto stared at the wood in his hand, "There's something wrong with this, is it a weapon?"

"No." Cheng Yang picked up the wood and felt that it was very suitable as a wayfinding tool.

Although the moonlight could allow them to see the road clearly, if the people from the south had set up traps around here, it would still be very dangerous for them to run over in such a clear way.

When those exiles came to attack Shuo Feng before, they fell into the trap.

Cheng Yang turned his head, explained to Barto carefully, and comforted him by the way, "Don't worry, I'm not going to their tribe."

Barto's heart that had been raised so high relaxed a little bit, and then he heard Cheng Yang say, "I want to borrow a road to pass through them."

Barto barely recovered his breath, he was dumbfounded, "What do you mean?"

"We don't know enough about this south. When we came to the trade conference before, we also gathered near the forest, but we didn't know anything about the other side of the southern tribe."

He suspects that the southern side is rich in resources. For example, salt is likely to come from the other side of the south. Otherwise, the northern part has not been discovered for so many years. People from the northern part of the dense forest have visited many times, but they have not found anything. .

Even Jiuli sent people to inquire about the news many times, but they didn't find any useful news.

Cheng Yang looked up at the moonlight, it was getting late.

"Let's hurry up, and I'll explain to you slowly on the way."

"No, no, no, you better stop explaining, I'll just follow you." Looking at the southern tribes who were getting closer, Barto didn't dare to ask Cheng Yang to speak, for fear of being listened to.

Cheng Yang was a little helpless, how could he hear it? Although they seem to be very close to these southern tribes now, the tents of each tribe are gathered in the center of the tribe, and it is estimated that they are still some distance away from where they are at the moment .

But there was no need to explain, Cheng Yang was happy in his heart, after all, he saved energy.

Seeing that the southern tribal land was getting closer, Cheng Yang also became more cautious. He didn't expect that the wood in his hand would actually come in handy. He really found a trap. Fortunately, the pit was not very serious. Big, if it's like what Shuofeng did before, then it's really difficult for a while.

Cheng Yang frowned, and he looked at the clan land closest to him. It didn't look very large, it probably wasn't Xuanniao and Wu Yi, but what caught his attention at the moment was that the clan land was now full of grass.

It seems that no one has come to this tribe for a long time.

Cheng Yang combined their own tribe and the many tribes he had seen, and found that this place was abnormal.Although the tribes are all yellow land, due to the daily trampling of the tribesmen, the loess on the tribe land has long since become hard and hard, and it is difficult to grow a single weed, but the grass in this tribe is almost knee-high. It has been abandoned for a long time.

Barto was a little silent. This was the first time he had seen so many weeds growing in a tribal land. Although he had told the tribal leaders that these tribal people might no longer be in the south, he had never seen it with his own eyes. See, let alone see what their tribe looks like directly.

Barto didn't know why he felt sad all of a sudden. Looking at the overgrown weeds, some rickety wooden stakes, and some dilapidated tents, everything showed the defeat here.

If the dace attacked Jiuli, would their tribe become like this?

"Let's go."

Cheng Yang withdrew his gaze and planned to continue on the road. He didn't know how far he would have to go to find some clues, but he had to come back before dawn.

So now there is no time to lose.

It also makes the tribes in the north different. The tribes in the south are distributed on a relatively flat plain, and the tribes are almost dependent on each other. Cheng Yang later passed through the clan lands of several tribes one after another.

It was precisely because the lands of these tribes were very flat that he didn't want to take a detour, which would take too much effort and waste time.

Cheng Yang's thoughts were a little far away. The tribes in the south were so close, so they should have a good relationship with each other, but unexpectedly, this was not the case. Otherwise, all these tribes would not have suffered.

Barto followed Cheng Yang in a depressed mood, and after walking for an unknown amount of time, he realized that something was wrong. There seemed to be a strange smell in the air. He shook his nose vigorously, trying to find the source of the smell.

Cheng Yang had already noticed the abnormality in the air, and was even a little excited about it.

He is familiar with this smell. After smelling the smell of mud and grass in the dense forest for a long time, there was a salty smell in the air. Cheng Yang immediately reacted to it. He even felt that he could smell the unique minerals that belonged to the reef. smell.

Of course, for the latter, Cheng Yang felt that it should be his own imagination. As soon as he smelled the salty smell, the sea appeared in Cheng Yang's mind. He had smelled this smell on the beach in his previous life, so he can't remember it wrong. of.

It's a pity that it's getting late at night now, they should go back, otherwise it won't be easy to get out after dawn.

"who?!"

Cheng Yang and Barto paused, and there was a sudden shout in front of them. It was obvious that they had just alarmed the southerners here.

If he was really careless, annoyance appeared on Cheng Yang's face. How could he have thought that the journey went smoothly, but the boat capsized on the way back.

Hearing the footsteps in front of them getting closer, Cheng Yang and Bator looked at each other, and they understood each other's intentions in the night.

If you don't deal with the visitor at this time, and let him yell to attract more people, it will be even more difficult for them to escape.

However, before they could react, they felt a flash behind them, and a figure flashed out from behind them, and then quickly ran to the side.

"Stop, don't run!"

Seeing the man running away, the man in front immediately followed up, leaving Cheng Yang and Bar Tuo looking at each other.

"Didn't that person talk about us just now?" Barto was a little puzzled, how could there be someone behind them?

Cheng Yang felt a little heavy in his heart. He didn't expect that a person fell behind them, but he and Barto didn't notice it at all.

But why did that person run out at this time? Did this person really not realize that he and Barto were hiding here?Or is it to lure away the shouting person?

The author has something to say: It seems that readers have gone to Weibo to eat melons recently, and I feel that the follow-up articles have become less QAQ (Although I think melons are really delicious, but the cuties don’t just go and never come back~>_<~ )
