Chapter 247: Canoe, arrows of assorted varieties, and Previous Li from the Impartial Battalion.
With the expedition deliberate for subsequent yr, Han Cheng’s anticipation regularly eased, however some nervousness nonetheless lingered.
The subsequent step was to organize for this journey upfront.
Crucial factor was establishing boats able to navigating the river.
In fact, these boats weren’t Noah’s Ark; Han Cheng could not construct such massive ships.
Relating to boat-making, Han Cheng’s concept was to burn some massive tree trunks, which have been too huge for a number of folks to embrace, mendacity across the neighborhood of the Inexperienced Sparrow Tribe after which chisel a shallow groove on high with stones.
Then, by burning holes, the trunk’s inside can be hollowed out to create an acceptable canoe for crusing.
Nevertheless, after really doing this, it was discovered that this operation was not straightforward.
Leaving apart different difficulties, burning such thick tree trunks was difficult.
It took greater than half a month to do this as soon as.
Nevertheless, contemplating that rafts have been vulnerable to leakage and never conducive to long-term keep on them, and now it was winter, the folks of the Inexperienced Sparrow Tribe did not have a lot else to do apart from practising archery and slingshots day-after-day. Spending just a little extra time did not matter.
It is price mentioning that after this seemingly neglectful apply for a while, the folks of the Inexperienced Sparrow Tribe regularly turned acquainted with archery and slingshot use.
Their accuracy had improved so much in comparison with once they first began.
After Third Senior Brother initiated the groundbreaking transfer of putting in sharpened bones on arrowheads, the feather arrows that the Inexperienced Sparrow Tribe now possessed have been fairly totally different from earlier than.
They might be described as numerous.
Some have been made with bone arrowheads, some with stone arrowheads, some with appropriate wild animal enamel as arrowheads, and even one or two had the sudden concept of desirous to have Hei Wa burn a batch of pottery arrowheads…

For archery, this was a major leap ahead.
Important progress was additionally made by way of slingshots. Though the accuracy was inferior to with bows and arrows, at a distance of thirty to forty meters, fairly just a few folks might nonetheless hit two or three out of ten photographs.
Once they left, Han Cheng particularly instructed them solely to choose unusual rapeseed and to not contact the 2 patches of rapeseed intentionally separated.
This time, they did not want to choose an excessive amount of rapeseed; two not-too-large baskets full of it might be sufficient.
There wasn’t a lot cooking for right this moment’s meal.
After arranging these issues, Han Cheng added an acceptable quantity of water to the cleaned millet and positioned it on the fireplace, instructing Hearth One to make use of a low flame to prepare dinner it slowly and infrequently raise the lid and stir to forestall burning. Then, he walked in the direction of the eagerly curious crowd.
Shaman and Eldest Senior Brother had already gone over there and summoned all of the adults of the Inexperienced Sparrow Tribe.
The folks did not know what this grand event meant right this moment, and every of them was very curious.
Han Cheng arrived in entrance of the gathering crowd and raised his voice. “Over there, I am steaming millet rice. Later, I’ll personally stir-fry some greens. Do you wish to eat this type of meals?”
As a result of millet rice is scarce, the folks of the Inexperienced Sparrow Tribe have solely eaten it as soon as to this point, so it appears much more valuable.
Many individuals had forgotten the precise style of millet rice, however their vivid recollections of its deliciousness turned clearer.
The consensus within the Inexperienced Sparrow Tribe was that if the Divine Little one made it, it have to be beautiful.
Upon listening to that the Divine Little one would steam millet rice and prepare dinner it himself after which stir-fry some greens, many individuals could not assist however swallow their saliva.
“Need!”
These folks, who have been often messy and unorganized really answered in unison, this time with out deliberate association.
Recalling the looks of Captain Li Da Tuan, Han Cheng additionally waved his hand and chuckled, “Need to eat? No means!”
“There’s solely that half-jar of millet rice. With so many people, who will get to eat it?”
The excited members of the Inexperienced Sparrow Tribe have been puzzled by Han Cheng’s sudden query and checked out one another for some time. Sure, there was solely that a lot millet rice. Who would get to eat it?
Han Cheng thought to himself that Captain Li’s methodology was certainly appropriate, however these primitive folks lacked the cleverness of the Impartial Regiment members, and nobody chimed in with questions.
He waited some time, pondering like this, then raised his voice once more. “This time’s millet rice and stir-fried greens are solely for many who shoot arrows precisely and throw slingshots precisely to eat!”
