Ye Qiong stayed at the hot spring until near dusk in the afternoon, and then walked from the hot spring to the school.
Tang Ying is probably about to finish class at this time. Ye Qiong's requirements for school are a normal schedule. The little carrots in the tribe can't be squeezed. After they return home in the evening, there are other things to do. .
Before they reached the school, there was movement in the tribe. Ye Tianling had already returned with most of the soldiers. There were many soldiers left at the canyon base. In addition to the soldiers from the Huiliang tribe, the second-line The soldiers also stayed there for the time being.
The supplies and food brought back from the Huirang tribe this time still need to be sorted and processed. It cannot be done in a day or two.
So the soldiers on the second line are still busy over there. After processing the supplies and food they brought back, they can come back.
After all, even if they are back now, they still have to be busy in the central tribe. After all, the current Ye Qiong tribe is different from the migrating tribes outside, and they cannot rest during the winter.
Supplies and food are very abundant, so it is also a good time for development and construction.
If there were tribes outside that migrate all year round, their current life would be very simple. They basically eat and sleep, and sleep and eat, like...
A creature kept in captivity.
After Ye Tianling returned to the tribe with the frontline soldiers, he had no intention of taking a rest, but instead pulled the soldiers directly to the training ground...
When it was getting late, Ye Qiong arrived at the school again, and the little carrots were now walking out of the school one after another.
Tang Ying was holding a bunch of things in her hands. After looking at Ye Qiong, she immediately ran towards Ye Qiong.
"When did you come back?" Tang Ying said immediately after meeting Ye Qiong. Now she is used to the fact that Ye Qiong takes a long time to come back every time he goes out.
This time it was only more than half a month, which was already very short for Tang Ying.
"This morning... I saw you were busy, so I went somewhere else." Ye Qiong said as he took the thing from Tang Ying's hand and held it in his arms.
Then the two of them walked side by side towards the caravan's location.
During the winter, the caravan did not need to go out. After settling down, Yang Jianxin and Tang Li were not idle. Ye Tianlong arranged other tasks for the caravan. After all, the Ye Qiong tribe did not raise idle people.
In winter, except for the elderly, children and disabled people, all the rest, both men and women, need to work in winter.
Now there is no currency in the tribe, and there is nothing worthy of intrigue. When they are hungry, they go to get food, when they are tired, they take a rest, and when they are sleepy, they go to bed directly. Compared with the confusion and confusion they experienced in winter in the past, The days of helplessness and even anxiety and fear are now much more fulfilling in winter.
There is a fire burning in the heart of every clan member...
So although it seems now that the Ye Qiong tribe is only a tribe with a population of 5,000, the overall productivity and the cohesion among the tribesmen are very strong.
Happy time is always short-lived, and the time came quickly the next morning. After Ye Qiong got up, he did not wake up Tang Ying, who was still sleeping soundly.
We have to go back to the waterfall base today. When telling Ye Tianlong about the expedition yesterday, Ye Qiong also learned about the situation of the tribe these days.
The timber base has not been back since the snowstorm started, including the sunny days in the following week. It seems that the black iron sand at the waterfall base cannot be transported out, so the timber base serves as a transfer station. There is no need to come back.
The wood base in winter also needs to continue to collect wood, but the speed is naturally incomparable with that in summer. So basically, if there is no snowstorm, wood will be transported back to the central tribe once a month, which is about It is made up of five carriages, and each carriage has a load of about one ton.
These five tons of wood were naturally not enough for the current Ye Qiong tribe. After they were brought back, they were used up within a few days.
The good thing is...
With the advent of coal, wood will no longer be wasted and will be used in construction.
If we still need to burn wood for heating and cooking like in previous years, there will be even less wood.
After Ye Qiong came out of the caravan, in order not to disturb Tang Ying, he did not have breakfast with her, but returned to his laboratory.
After checking the things in the laboratory, Ye Qiong made some records about some of the things he was studying. Some data could only be recorded by Ye Qiong himself, and others could not understand it at all, including Tang Ying.
After all, Ye Qiong writes in Chinese characters. For them, it is more complicated than the writing of the ancient tribe at the waterfall base. They can't understand anything at all, unless Ye Qiong is willing to translate it for them.
After recording the experimental data, Ye Qiong walked out of the laboratory and whistled into the sky.
Two minutes later, Daidai appeared in front of Ye Qiong.
After checking the supplies and equipment on Daidai and himself, Ye Qiong turned over and rode directly on Daidai's back.
Within the tribe, the snow is naturally cleaned by someone, but outside the tribe, there is no snow.
After leaving the south gate of the stone city wall, what Ye Qiong and Daidai had to face was snow with an average height of more than three meters.
A normal adult human would disappear immediately after jumping.
Naturally, Ye Qiong had no intention of digging. There was no way to dig this thing, so he could only work hard!
Give Daidai a few more thighs from the guardian beasts...
The snow was three meters deep. If Daidai climbed down, it would have reached the position of its chin. If Daidai stood up, it could barely submerge its thighs. The snow at this height would be difficult for Daidai to run. It's a bit laborious to get up, but if you walk, there's no problem.
Ye Qiong lay directly on Dudu's back, looking at a giant gray-white creature staring at the sky, his eyes motionless, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.
Daidai walked slowly and leisurely in the snow without complaining, not in a hurry. After all, Ye Qiong's current lying posture was telling Daidai to just let him walk as he pleased. If he was sitting or in another position, It means something else.
Ye Qiong and Daidai, who have grown up together since childhood, have a level of tacit understanding that is unimaginable to ordinary people.
For Ye Qiong, just by twisting its butt in a daze, Ye Qiong will know if it wants to poop...
For Daidai, it was almost the same. There was no need to use words to communicate between Ye Qiong and Daidai. A look or an action was enough.
That kind of resonance between souls is so simple and crude.
There is no need to talk about any reason or logic. In fact, the result is that it does exist.
What Ye Qiong doesn't know is what will be waiting for him and the tribe this time when he goes to the waterfall base...
