Chapter 280 Bagon Crossing the River
It's already very urgent to wait for so long.
These patriarchs were anxious, and Wang Wei was also a little anxious.
So, just that night, everyone passed the big direction unanimously.
However, it took several days to discuss the details.
For example, how the patriarchs of the tribes fired those people from Yanghu would not cause a rebound.
How can we explain internally to satisfy our tribe?
In order to ensure that this meeting will not reverse again in the future, the Qiwen needs to be written in clay boards, and the patriarchs of each tribe need to sign together.
The clay tablets must be displayed back and forth between tribes for three months so that everyone in each tribe can know about this.
What should be done if Yanghu workers provide support in the future?
How often should the Hegemony Festival be held in Yanghu?
What kind of rights can Wang Wei enjoy when he stationed in Yanghu and protected the tribes of Dahe?
Anyway, there are so many miscellaneous things.
And each one needs to be negotiated and burned on the clay board.
Just as the patriarchs of the Dahe tribes were negotiating with Wang Wei.
On the other side of the White River.
Several young and strong men came on horseback.
These men are tall and sturdy.
They each have three horses.
A horse was carrying a lot of sheepskin with hair on its back.
The other two horses were used to transfer to them.
The dress of these people is different from that of ordinary grassland people.
On their shoulders, they carried bows and arrows made of cow horns and tendons.
A string of children's skulls hung around his neck.
The hair was tied into small braids.
Even the sheepskin coats on their bodies are cut more appropriately than other tribes, and the sides and corners look very neat.
In the era when there was no metal or scissors, a sheepskin coat with a well-cut corner was a symbol of identity.
There were also straw-woven arrow baskets on the waists of these people, with slender feathered arrows made of long-legged birds.
They looked around the White River to find a good place to go into the water.
Then he stopped the horse and took down all the sheepskin on the horse's back.
None of these sheepskins are hairless.
It looks like it was peeled off in whole pieces.
The head, limbs and other parts were tied up with straw ropes.
Only a hole is left in the back orifice.
After the few people dismounted, they started talking in their grassland language.
"Bagong, can this sheepskin really make us float on the water?" a man asked respectfully to a young man.
"Don't worry, Rilun, haven't you tried it in Yinmahu? It's definitely OK here!" Bagong replied.
"If we could cross the river in this sheepskin raft, the salt on the other side would be ours!" Rilun said with his eyes lit up.
The other people were also excited.
If you have salt, you can transport the wood back for a long time.
Then their tribe will become the most powerful tribe on the grassland.
In less than two years, you can attract countless small tribes and unify the entire grassland.
"Hurry up and work. If we can cross the river today and bring some black wood there, our entire tribe will be shocked tomorrow!" Commander Bagong said.
The others didn't say much, and picked up a tied sheepskin, then blew it at the back of the orifice.
Soon, the sheepskin was blown up.
After half a day, the people all turned pale, but they finally blew all the sheepskins and tied up the back of the orifices.
Then, they tied the sheepskins together tightly and used a small amount of wood, bones and other things as support to create a suggested sheepskin raft.
The raft was put into the water, and the raft floated up unexpectedly.
Seeing this, the few people were so excited that they yelled and shouted.
Then they pulled the raft with a straw rope and let a man step on it.
The raft almost did not sink, and with people, it floated on the shore.
Then the people on the shore pushed the raft towards the opposite side.
The raft floated towards the middle of the river, and the people above were so scared that they were pale and they lay on the raft without even moving.
As a result, the raft floated out several meters away without any sign of sinking.
But just as everyone cheered.
However, the raft floated downstream with the water flow.
Listening to the terrified yelling of the people on the raft, several people on the shore quickly pulled the rope back and rescued the people on the raft.
Next, the guy who just used it as a test subject was beaten to death and didn't dare to get on the raft.
Bagong and the others had no choice but to use their bones to dig the soil and put it on the raft.
After the weight of the soil was comparable to that of several people, the raft was pushed out again by them.
But the result is still the same as last time. No matter how hard they put, the raft will rush out a few meters away and will float down the water flow.
After trying it more than a dozen times, it started to get late.
Everyone's faces showed a look of frustration.
But Bagong comforted them with a firm look.
"The most difficult step is to make people float on the water, and how difficult the rest can be.
If you can't solve it today, come again tomorrow. If you can't solve it tomorrow, come again the day after tomorrow.
One day, I will find a way to cross the river.
At that time, on the other side of the White River, those beautiful pottery.
Those salts that are more important than life are all from their own tribe!" Bagong said angrily to everyone.
After hearing his words, the rest of them raised their fighting spirit again.
They put away their rafts, rode on their horses, and ran back in the moonlight.
Next, these people will come to Baihe every day.
They tried countless ways.
At the beginning, I just used human power to push it.
If one person doesn’t have to change to five people.
But no matter how you push it, the raft will float downstream if it floats for up to ten meters.
Then, they used bows and arrows, and took the straw rope with the tail, trying to shoot to the other side, and then pulled the straw rope across the river.
Unfortunately, the bow and arrow brought heavy objects and could not shoot at the other side at all. The strength was not enough, and the difference was far.
The beef tendon is about to be broken and cannot do this.
Later, they changed into rake plows, and several bones were tied into barbs, and thin straw ropes were tied behind them, so that the most powerful sun wheel could be thrown.
However, even the most powerful sun wheel cannot throw the rake plow over.
Even if he stood on a raft more than ten meters away from the river bank, he could not throw his bones to the other side dozens of meters away.
As time passed day by day, the patience of several people was gradually worn out.
Of course, they also have some improvements.
From the beginning, no one dared to stand on the raft.
Later, even Bagong dared to step on it alone.
"Bagong, the leader is already very dissatisfied. We run out every day, not even letting go of sheep or horses. If we continue to do this, the leader will definitely like your brother more in the future!" Rilun said, rubbing his sore arms.
"As long as I find a way to cross the river, no matter who the leader loves more, the tribe members will only recognize me!" Bagong got on the raft, kicked hard on the shore with his feet, and said with some annoyance.
The raft ran out a few meters away again, and then continued to float downwards.
The others sighed.
However, Bagong was stunned suddenly and then became ecstatic.
"I understand! I have a way to cross the river!" Bagong said excitedly.
The rest of them looked at him curiously.
Bagong said: "Let's go! Let's go back first. The leader has the long bamboo pole brought back from the other side. As long as I can get the bamboo pole, I will definitely be able to cross the river!"
The others were puzzled, what did crossing the river have to do with bamboo poles?
Chapter completed!
