I am a Primitive Man

Chapter 797: Wild Duck Station and Songlin Station (3 in 1)

Here is a stream. If you walk down the stream for a distance of about ten miles, you can see a large lake with a surface of about four or five miles.

It is a collection of multiple waters.

It is not easy to build roads in such a place, because some places need to build bridges because of the stream.

In fact, if the road is drawn into a straight line, the Bronze Expressway basically passes through this wild lake.

Such a project, of course, cannot be completed by the current Qingque tribe.

Even if it can be done, Han Cheng will not lead the people in the tribe to thanklessly do this.

In order to bypass this lake and the two relatively large rivers that flowed into the lake, after surveying, Han Cheng finally moved the road to the south of the lake nearly ten miles away.

This did not completely avoid the stream.

However, compared to the lake and the two wider rivers, moving the road to this place would no longer know how much the project has become smaller.

Han Cheng is not thinking about building bridges now.

Compared with normal road construction, things like bridge construction are much more troublesome.

However, according to the current human and material resources of the Qingque tribe, it is not a problem to build some short-span stone bridges.

What Han Cheng is considering now is accommodation, or the establishment of an inn here.

The nature of the Bronze Expressway connecting the Qingquezhu tribe and the Tongshan residential area determines its important role in the future.

When Han Cheng went to the Tongshan residential area for this final route, he took a rough survey. After the curve was cut and straightened, it was nearly 170 miles away.

It is impossible to run such a long distance in one day before the horse shows up.

In this way, building a post on this road has become a very necessary thing.

In the past, including now, people in the tribe, including the frequently-traveling trade team, carried things like tents and ropes with them when they went out.

When camping at night, set up a tent and use ropes to circle a relatively safe area around the tent.

This way of camping is much safer than the way most tribes of this era camp directly in the wild without shelter.

But from the point of view of a later generation Han Cheng, this camping method is not very safe.

In addition to the factor of insecurity, there are many other inconvenience factors.

Not to mention the rest, just carrying things like tents and ropes takes up space and is quite tiring.

In addition, after arriving at the camping site every day, set up a tent, lay ropes around it, and remove the tent early the next morning...

Thinking about these things makes people feel troublesome.

People in the trade team go out to trade, and there are many places to go. It is unrealistic to build fixed resting places along the way.

It is precisely because of this that although Han Cheng felt that the use of tents and ropes to build temporary camps was not only unsafe, but also troublesome, he never suggested building something like an inn.

But now, when the same thing is placed on the Bronze Express, it becomes different.

In the future, the traffic volume in the Tongshan residential area will be relatively large, and it is different from the road they take when they go out to trade. This road is fixed. In this case, you can consider building a post on this road. Thing.

This place, which was just named Yeyaqiao by Han Cheng, is about sixty miles away from the Tongshan residential area.

It's almost above one-third of the bronze high-speed node.

Here, as well as the other one-third of the nodes, build a post station, which can artificially divide the entire bronze highway into three sections.

It’s not a problem to walk for sixty miles from morning to night on a flat road instead of walking over the mountains as before.

As for emergencies, people who are riding a donkey with two donkeys can walk one hundred and twenty a day without a problem.

In this way, whether it is a person pulling a donkey cart or a person riding a donkey to report an emergency, there will be a place to stay on the road.

It is very reasonable to divide the entire bronze expressway into three sections evenly.

Of course, the post that Han Cheng envisioned was quite different from the traditional post that had dedicated people staying here to feed horses and provide food and accommodation.

The biggest difference is that after they were built, the two stations did not arrange for special guards.

Its main function is only to allow the people of the Qingque tribe who travel between the Qingque master tribe and the Tongshan residential area to have a safe and comfortable place to stay, without the hassle of the present.

When time comes, some stoves can be built here for people to make fires and cook.

Even small amounts of food can be stored in some dark rooms and used as relief food for those who come and go.

Some people consume these foods, and when they come next time, they will bring some food and make up for it.

As for the question of whether there is no one to guard here and whether it will be sabotaged by others, it does not require much consideration in this era.

If any tribe found these two post stations and settled in, this...

For the Qingque tribe, this is not only not a bad thing, on the contrary, it is a very good thing.

These are just Han Cheng's early plans for the two stations.

Later, when the number of people in the tribe gradually increased, and the surrounding land was not enough to grow, one could consider ‘migrating’ to these two stations.

Then, with these two stations as the center, develop towards the surroundings, reclaim land and grow food.

And here, ten miles to the north is a large lake, and there are some rivers around it. While planting is being developed, fishery can also be developed.

It is foreseeable that these two post stations, one near the Tongshan residential area, one near the Qingquezhu tribe, and both are located on the Bronze Expressway. As long as there are enough manpower, they will be able to develop later.

Maybe in the future, it is not impossible to develop an economic belt along the road along the entire bronze highway with points below the surface and on both sides of the road!

Sure enough, to build a road before getting rich!

Seeing the mallard ducks swimming in the water, diving under the water from time to time, and then popping up in another place, Han Cheng was in a good mood, thinking of the words that were widely spread in later generations, and he was deeply impressed.

After thinking about these things, Han Cheng took off the leather bag he carried from his back, and took out the big picture with the roughly known topography from the green bird tribe to the Tongshan residential area, and used it. On the bronze highway marked by the red line, I found the location of this place and clicked a point on it.

And I painted a simple small house around, on which the words "Wild Duck Station" were written.

At this time, the trade had already set up the campsite with people.

For people in the trade team who travel frequently, relying on tents and ropes to build such a camp is already very familiar.

When the camp was set up and the fire for cooking also rose, the sorrow who had taken other people out came back.

Shang carried two mallard ducks that were shot by bows and arrows, and a dozen green mallard eggs were found in the pockets of a few others.

The two wild ducks were plucked happily by Han Cheng, and then they were put on a stick and grilled over charcoal fire.

As for the ten wild duck eggs that were much larger than those in the tribe, Han Cheng didn't let anyone eat them.

Instead, he pulled out a lot of grass and put it into an empty clay pot. After making the cushion soft, he put the duck eggs in it.

If you want to have a group of wild ducks in the tribe as soon as possible, and nurture these wild ducks, it is impossible to rely solely on the three little guys caught last time. It is too slow.

Han Cheng planned to take these wild duck eggs back for incubation and get another batch of ducklings.

Han Cheng is not at all worried about the question of how to hatch duck eggs into ducklings for ducks that have not grown up.

It is true that there are no adult ducks in the tribe, but there are so many adult chickens in the tribe.

After returning home, let the chickens hatch the ducklings.

Let the chickens hatch the duck eggs. This may sound like a bit of a pull, but in fact it is not at all.

When Han Cheng was a child, he had seen an old hen leading a group of children who were obviously not his own, looking for food.

In fact, not only duck eggs can be hatched by chickens, even goose eggs that need to be hatched longer can be hatched by chickens.

Because chickens are more resolute, once they want to start incubating chicks, the incubation period will not end if the eggs under the body are not hatched.

In other words, the length of its incubation period depends entirely on whether something is hatched.

In later generations, some people thought that it took too long for the chickens to incubate the eggs. After the chickens entered the incubation period, they went directly to the town to buy the chicks that others had hatched.

In the evening, put the chicks secretly under the body of the old hen who is about to hatch. The next morning, the old hen will end the incubation period, and then happily take the chick that has appeared suddenly. Looking around for food is no different from treating one's own body.

After the two roast ducks were roasted, Han Cheng tore off a duck leg and let everyone eat the rest.

It was not marinated in advance and lacked various sauces. Of course, the taste was not as good as the roast duck sold in later generations.

On the next day, Han Cheng didn't take people from here immediately. Instead, he was divided into several groups to find wild duck eggs in this piece of grass.

At this time, autumn is approaching, and most wild ducks have finished laying and incubating eggs, and have successfully become duck mothers.

But this is the most indispensable thing in the world is the accident, so many wild ducks, there are always some, when hatching eggs, they will encounter some egg thieves, resulting in no eggs to hatch, and the hatching period is ended early.

Then after a period of adjustment, re-lay the eggs for incubation.

The ugly duckling in the story of the well-known ugly duckling in later generations had an accident when its parents hatched the last round of eggs.

Otherwise, the swan born in spring will basically have grown up by autumn, and can move south with the army, and there will never be an ugly duckling who has not lost its fur.

Although the peak of incubating wild ducks had passed by this time, the base number of wild ducks could not be held up. Under the order of Han Cheng, the people of the Qingque tribe found nearly 20 duck eggs here after careful searching.

Then, under the leadership of Han Cheng, he continued to walk back.

These nearly 30 wild duck eggs, when the time comes, the ducklings can generally hatch.

The reason why Han Cheng had such low expectations for the hatching rate of these duck eggs was that there must be many duck eggs among them, which have been hatched by wild ducks for a while.

In this way, the eggs will stop hatching halfway, and the ducklings that are being hatched inside will definitely stop developing and then die...

This time I went back and didn't need to do things like exploring the terrain. I was able to hurry on the road wholeheartedly, and the speed would naturally become faster.

At noon two days later, Han Cheng and the others stopped in one place.

There are patches of pine trees growing here, some of which cannot be hugged by several people.

However, the overall terrain is relatively flat, and the time is more suitable for reclaiming wasteland.

This is on the Qingque Expressway, another three-point node.

The team stopped under Han Cheng's order. Han Cheng wandered around here for a while, and then looked for a more suitable place here, made a mark with a stone base, and built a post here in time.

After getting the sign, I found the location on the map and marked it. On the side, I drew a simple small house with the words "Songlin Station" written on it.

After finishing all these things, the sun was already in the middle of the western sky. Upon seeing this, Han Cheng gave the order to set up camp and rest here tonight.

And he and some people opened the thick pine needles here, looking for the pine nuts, which can be regarded as bringing home some gifts...

Fourteen to five miles from the end of the old road of the Qingque tribe, a group of people were holding tools and building roads in full swing.

Nowadays, as the road continues to extend further and further away from the quarry, it becomes more and more difficult to transport the slabs. Since six days ago, the paving of the slabs has been stopped.

Now all roads are pure mud.

Because there are so many people here, there are more than 80 adults doing road repairs. In addition, people from the Qingque tribe are already familiar with these tools, so the road construction work is carried out. Soon, in the last two days, it has reached a distance of 700 meters a day!

"One, two, three! Hey yeah~"

Following the route laid out earlier, Han Cheng, who led the people all the way back, heard the faint chants from all the way, and a smile appeared on his face.

After waiting here for a while, Han Cheng led someone to speed up the pace of going back...

"The Son of God! The Son of God and they are back!"

Someone saw Han Cheng coming back with people from the other side of the road, and yelled uncontrollably. The next moment, the entire construction site in full swing became boiling...

After the joy of returning, Han Cheng checked that the time was relatively early, and did not rush to go back. After learning about some road repairs, he retreated a few miles back to meet the members of the trade team such as Shang and Trade. I cleared the site there, started building temporary shelters, and prepared to let these people live outside...

The night of the Qingque tribe.

The tribe, which had become lively because of Han Cheng and their return, was completely silent at this time.

The night sky was gleaming, and in the grasses around the tribe, high and low insects kept sounding. Green fireflies slowly flew under the night, echoing the stars in the sky.

The entire tribe was shrouded in the tranquility of the night.

In the room, Little Pea has fallen asleep, and the child's doze is always good.

The orange light was beating lightly, Han Cheng leaned sideways and put his ear on the swelling belly of Xuemei Bai, quietly listening to the movement inside.

By now, Bai Xuemei has been pregnant for more than five months, and sometimes she can feel some fetal movements.

Looking at the son who fell asleep over there, holding his daughter-in-law in his arms, feeling the movement made by another little guy still in his stomach, Han Cheng felt that his life was worth it!

Han Cheng, who was still asleep the next day, was awakened by Xiao Pea who had already gotten up and dressed by pinching his nose.

"Dad, look at the duckling!"

Seeing Han Cheng wake up, Xiao Wandou pulled Han Cheng out with a look of excitement.

The child never understands the hard work of adults day and night, and wants to lie back and sleep for a second time. Han Cheng, seeing the little guy look expectant, can only dispel this idea, and yawns to get up. , After a simple wash, pull down by the little guy to the little duck house to see the ducklings.

For the three little ducks that Han Cheng brought back, the little pea liked them tightly. During the time when Han Cheng was away, he often took pandas to catch grasshoppers and feed them.

I haven't seen them for a while. Compared to when Han Cheng left, these little ducks have grown up a full circle, and they are growing very gratifying.

"Good boy, good job!"

Han Cheng stretched out his hands and rubbed the head of Little Pea, who was wearing crotch-opening pants and squatting next to him watching the ducklings, and said seriously.

Little Pea smiled suddenly.

The praised little pea got even more vigorous, and took Han Chengcheng out to continue catching grasshoppers and feeding ducklings.

Han Cheng turned around and called to Bai Xuemei to let her go out together.

Bai Xuemei is already pregnant and needs to wander around a bit more.

Han Cheng held Bai Xuemei in one hand, and in the other hand the little pea who always wanted to run fast, behind his buttocks was a lucky general with a wagging tail, a family of three and a dog, and walked out of the courtyard together.

Before leaving the courtyard, the round pandas rolled over like a ball and joined the ranks of going out.

"YoYo……"

Of course, this kind of occasion is indispensable for Uncle Deer, the handle of the blue bird tribe animal world.

This guy used his antlers to open the deer pens by himself. After he came out, he didn't forget to use his hind legs to gently lift the hoof and close the door.

Then he took a graceful step and gave full play to the advantage of his long legs. He quickly caught up with Han Cheng's line and put his chin on Han Cheng's shoulder from behind, seeming to walk forward lazily.

I haven't seen the unscrupulous guy Deer for a while, and Han Cheng missed it very much, so he tilted his head and rubbed his long face.

However, his miss did not last long, and it developed into extreme disgust.

Because Uncle Lu took advantage of Han Cheng's carelessness, sticking out his rough tongue and hitting Han Cheng's face with a splash.

Looking at the two-legged beast who looked disgusted and glared at him with his hand, Uncle Deer whose face was twisted twice by Han Cheng, did not feel the slightest discomfort, but stretched his neck and raised his mouth. The skin cocked, exposing big yellow teeth, and his face looked like he didn't twitch...

Throwing the bunches of grasshoppers and small peas into the duck house together, looking at a duckling with a straight neck that was choked by a big grasshopper, Han Cheng suddenly remembered the nearly thirty wild ducks he brought back. Duck eggs.

These things need to quickly find chickens and start hatching!

Han Cheng miscalculated.

Originally, he thought that with so many chickens in the tribe, there would always be one or two in the incubation period, and these duck eggs would never have to worry about hatching.

However, it turned out that there was not even a brooding chicken!

This made Han Cheng very melancholy.

Chickens without brooding will not hatch ducklings, and ducklings will not hatch, and the development and growth of the tribe’s duck flock will be slow. UU Reading www.uukahnshu. Com is slowly growing, and you will have to wait longer if you want to eat roast duck and salted duck eggs in the future...

It was at this time that the old rooster, who always liked to mix with the hens and looked like sisters with the hens head to head, caught Han Cheng's eyes.

This is the rooster that was shot off.

Needless to say, this great and difficult task can only be entrusted to this guy.

A moment later, the panicked rooster was caught by Han Cheng under the gaze of the other panicked chickens.

After the half-bowl of fruit wine was eaten, the rooster, who had been scared just now, suddenly became quiet. It was the red comb.

Han Cheng put the drunken rooster in a chicken coop made of bricks and golden millet rods, and after catching it with a bamboo sieve, he began to dig out duck eggs from the clay pot.

Twenty-eight duck eggs are not a small pile there.

Generally, it is difficult for a chicken to incubate an egg, and it is difficult to incubate 20 or 30 eggs at once, let alone a duck egg that is much larger than an egg!

For the twenty-eight duck eggs in front of him, the rooster obviously couldn't hatch at once.

Is it possible to gel another rooster and let them hatch together?

After thinking about it, Han Cheng still didn't do this cruel thing. Instead, he got a half bowl of warm water and put these duck eggs in the bowl.

After some duck eggs were placed in the basin, they slowly sank to the bottom, while some floated on the surface.

Han Cheng took out the eleven floating duck eggs and put them aside. These are no longer necessary to hatch, and no ducklings can be hatched again.

Take out the remaining seventeen duck eggs and dry them with a linen cloth, and place one of them under the body of the drunk rooster.

After the rooster wakes up from wine, he will go further and further on the road to become a glorious mother duck...
