I'm doing infrastructure in ancient times

In the middle of the night, the heat of the day has all receded, the bare rocks are exposed, there is no vegetation cover, and the temperature is much lower than in the daytime.

At this moment, the stone diggers who had worked hard all day fell into a deep sleep. Digging stones was hard work, and they didn't get much food. Although they were hungry and hungry, they still fell asleep on the ground due to physical exhaustion.

Maybe you won't feel the hunger in your stomach when you fall asleep.

In the daze of the stone roller, it seemed to hear a small sound, like footsteps, but it was much lighter than their usual walking, like tiptoeing?Shi Dung, who was in a coma, had a sudden heart, and wanted to open his eyes, but it was in vain. He was too tired, and his eyelids were so heavy that it seemed that he could no longer lift them.

The next moment, he felt that he seemed to be lifted up by someone, and the other person covered his mouth with his hand. At this moment, he still had some strange thoughts in his mind, for example, he felt that he had no strength left. He made a sound, but there was no need to cover his mouth at all.

Are they going to throw him out?

Shi Dung had some guesses in his heart. Recently, his strength was getting less and less, and he did less and less work every day. In fact, there were many such stone diggers. He had seen many of them before, but they all disappeared in the end.

Kunhu would not use food to support people who were unable to work. He knew that those people were dragged to other places to fend for themselves.

Is it his turn now?

"Cheng Yang, who do you think we are carrying back?" Barto looked at the shadow under his feet. At this time, the shadow was very small and stepped under his feet. He looked up at the sky, and sure enough the sun was directly above his head. With such a big head, he still hasn't woken up? Shouldn't they dig rocks get up very early?"

"We still have to carry him on the road, it's really exhausting..."

"But I can't wake him up. Do you think he's just pretending?"

"How dare you pretend to be asleep?!" A clansman said angrily, "He made us carry it on purpose, didn't he?"

Seeing that these people's discussions became louder and their emotions became agitated, Cheng Yang slowed down and looked back at the man on Barto's back. This man was mining ore for the Kunhu tribe. They took advantage of those people's sleep last night , He ran out after carrying it on his back.

Because they were worried that they would be discovered, they didn't dare to pick and choose carefully, so they picked up a thin man at random, so that it would not be difficult to see and restrain him when the time came, but they didn't expect that this man would sleep until now and still not wake up.

Obviously this can't be a normal sleep, except for the first part of the journey, after they were far away from the Kunhu tribe, they also tried to wake up this person and let him go on the road with them, but there was no response after shaking them several times. In a hurry to hurry, let the clansmen take turns carrying him along the way.

Cheng Yang's eyes fell on this man's face. He had been digging rocks under the sun all day long, and his skin was tanned. He thought this man was dark and thin at first, but now he realized that his cheeks were no different from skin and bones. Only a shriveled layer of skin sticks to the face.

Cheng Yang frowned, "Give him some water."

Looking up and seeing that it was getting late, he asked the big guys to stop and refresh.

"Look around here to see if there is a source of water. Let's eat something to fill our stomachs and rest for a while before we go on our way."

They still don't know where the dace tribe is, and they are in a hurry just to stay away from the Kunhu tribe. After all, they have already torn faces with this tribe last time. If their deeds are exposed this time, the Kunhu tribe must be To send someone to stop.

They stayed near Kun Lake for a long time before, and it was not difficult to find the water source. They quickly retrieved the water, picked up some dry firewood nearby, lit a fire, and put a small clay pot in the on the firewood.

Cheng Yang burned a batch of bowl sets before, and specially picked a thicker clay pot, which was reserved for going out. The pottery pot they brought out was different from the ones used in the tribe. The surrounding pottery walls It should be thicker, as long as the heat is well controlled, it will not fry under normal circumstances, so it is very convenient to boil some water and cook something to eat.

However, they are usually on their way in a hurry, so they rarely take it out for use. The jerky they prepare is cooked food, and they can be eaten at will. Most of the time, this can is used to boil some water. Cheng Yang is worried about letting the tribe and The raw water outside, who knows if there will be bacteria and viruses in it.

He took out a piece of jerky and chopped it with a stone knife. The stone knife was not sharp and it was difficult to use. He simply tore it with his hands, then put it into a clay pot and boiled it with the water inside.

"Cheng Yang, what delicious food are you doing?" Barto couldn't help but move his head closer to see how he made it, obviously wanting to be like him.Those of them who have been with Cheng Yang for a long time know that Cheng Yang is very good at eating, and some ingredients will become delicious after being transformed by his hands.

However, this time he guessed wrong.

Cheng Yang waited for the dried meat to be softened by boiling water, then found two thin branches that had been quickly cut off the outer skin, and then scalded them with boiling water, almost ready to be used as chopsticks, and then found a larger leaf, It can barely be used as a spoon.

"Hey, Cheng Yang! Why did you pick up the meat for him to eat?" Barto shouted quickly, and the voice attracted the attention of the surrounding clansmen, and they all looked in Cheng Yang's direction.

That's right, they found out that Cheng Yang had cooked the broth for a long time, but he didn't eat a bite of it, and gave it all to the stone digger.And this black and thin man, who had been in a coma before, had to be carried on his back the whole time. Now that he had food, he was able to open his mouth. The Jiuli people were very angry, and he felt that this man must be pretending.

They pretended to be dizzy before and made them recite it, but now they dared to trick him into eating sheep's meat. They felt that they had to teach this black and skinny boy a lesson!

Ba Tuo and the others were aggressive, and before Cheng Yang could stop them, their hands had already stretched out to Shi Dang, grabbing his arm, and they were about to drag him away from Cheng Yang.

They want to take this cheater away from Cheng Yang!

"Hey, take it easy..." Cheng Yang couldn't help worrying. Seeing the rough behavior of these people, he didn't have time to explain. He quickly put down the clay pot he was holding in his hand, and prepared to save the person who was about to be "bullied" Dark skinny man.

He didn't suspect this man. After all, how the Kunhu tribe treated those stone diggers was obvious to all. This black and thin man must have had a difficult life before, and he could guess a little from how hungry he was.

The food in the stomach is eaten very early every day, and a lot of work has to be done. After a long time, the human body will naturally wear down. He suspected that the black and thin man did not wake up all morning because the nutrition in his body could not keep up. .

Seeing that Barto's fist was about to land on his body, Shi Lun, a black and thin man, slowly opened his eyes, and what he saw was a magnified fist, and he rolled towards the grass in a panic for a moment, extremely embarrassed, but somehow he escaped the blow. .

Seeing that he still dared to hide, Barto was anxious and wanted to catch up, but at this time Cheng Yang had regained his composure, so he quickly grabbed him, "Okay, don't make a fuss anymore."

Bator and the others suddenly wanted to fight Shi Dang, which caught him off guard. In addition, after traveling for such a long time, he hadn't eaten any food, and he had long lost energy, and he didn't have much energy to argue with them. , walked directly to Shi Dun's side, and stretched out a hand to him.

Shi Dung shrank on the ground in fear. He had dodged the blow completely by instinct just now. After the crisis passed, he had no strength left. Looking at the palm stretched out in front of him, it belonged to a young man. It was vigorous and powerful. At the beginning, there was doubt in his eyes, and he couldn't help reaching out and holding the palm.

"Chengyang, why are you protecting him like this? Anyway, he's just a foreigner..." The person who spoke was fierce. Seeing that Cheng Yang, who had always been close to him, had such a good attitude towards this thin man, he was also a little unhappy.

Although Meng Meng didn't want to beat this person like Barto before, but at this moment, he regretted that Barto was too slow just now.

This person should be beaten up. Anyway, arresting him was just to ask for directions, and a beating would not delay anything.

"That's right, he's just a foreigner. I suspect he was being lazy on purpose before!"

Shi Dun's eyes flickered, seeing how fiercely the people from the Jiuli Tribe treated him, he seemed very frightened, and couldn't help but hide behind Cheng Yang.

"Okay, I know it." Cheng Yang replied in a deep voice, "Hurry up and eat something, you have to go on your way later."

Now that the man is awake, there is no need for him to feed him. Cheng Yang directly handed him the clay pot containing the broth in his hand, found a place to sit down, and took out a dry piece of meat from his arms. I started chewing dryly, and I couldn't help frowning, the mouth was dry and hard, it was hard to swallow.

"Drink some water!" Meng hurriedly passed over his clay pot. He didn't cook broth, it was just boiled water, but it was just right to eat jerky with this hot water.

Shi Dun held the clay pot full of broth, looked vigilantly at the surrounding people, especially the fierce-faced Bator and the others, and hugged the thing tightly, fearing that they would come to snatch it.This made Meng on the side even more dissatisfied. You must know that their food has been divided before, and what this person is eating now is the food of a sheep.

Meng had many thoughts in his mind, and finally decided that if the food for Cheng Yang was not enough, he would share some of his own food with him.

He also wanted to kick the person in front of him away, but he knew Cheng Yang, and knew that what he did must have a purpose, not to mention that they "stealed" this person from the Kunhu site after losing their minds. It is obviously impossible to kick him out before things are done.

They didn't have much food, and it didn't take long for them to finish their lunch, add some water, and almost recovered one by one.The tribesmen of Jiuli are almost all young and strong guys. It is the time when their physical strength is strong. When they are tired, they only need to eat a meal and take a rest, and they will soon be resurrected with full blood.

Now that you're done eating, it's time to get down to business.

Cheng Yang looked at the black and thin man shrunk aside, his face was serious, he thought for a while, and said slowly, "There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world, we must have a purpose for bringing you here... "

Shi Dun's body froze obviously, his eyes flickered slightly, and he raised his head blankly, with a look of bewilderment.

"We've been here for a while, but so far, we've only seen one Kunhu tribe..." Cheng Yang looked at Shi Lun very curiously, "Where is your tribe?"

They have never found the dace tribe, but in fact, not only the dace tribe, but they have not seen any other tribes except the Kunhu tribe.

Then this is very strange. After all, whether it is the south or the north, the tribes were not very far apart before, and they often have conflicts because of the territory. It is precisely because of this that they are closely connected with each other. .

If the Kunhu tribe is far away from the surrounding tribes, how did it capture these captives on its own ground?

The black and thin man in front of him was silent for a moment, as if in a daze, staring at Cheng Yang in a daze for a while, then quickly recovered, lowered his eyes, and said, "I, our tribe is, right here..."

Everyone present frowned slightly, and Cheng Yang and the people around him looked at each other. They were sure that there were no tribes around here, and they had searched the surrounding area several times.

Unless these tribes are like those exiles, hiding in the woods, there is no place to stay.

And this kind of possibility is not great, because there are many rocks in the vicinity, but there are few trees, which is not conducive to hiding at all. If there were people, they would have discovered it long ago.
