Chapter 377: Ancient Journey (14)
Speaking of the wall, July hesitated, after all, for the sake of something that I don't know if it was salt, give up the wall that has now been half built, July is still unwilling. And after a while it will be the rainy season, and by that time, the fence will not be built again, and the project will be stranded.
In addition, July also wants to raise some animals, and only after the fence is built, can July carve out a place in the wall to raise and grow some wild vegetables.
A few days ago, July saw a few young shoots that looked like corn in the wild, and July was afraid of being eaten by other animals, so he dug up the seedlings and planted them under the stone cave, but even if they were planted under the stone cave, it was not safe, and the fence was not built for a day, and July could not rest assured for a day.
July thought about it again and again, and finally decided to let Yu go to the sheep tribe to exchange some stones and come back to continue building at home.
The reason why he let Yu go instead of July went by himself was because Yu was more familiar with the exchange between tribes, and he also knew where the sheep tribe was, so he didn't have to find a way. The stones that produce mountain salt are within the range of the sheep tribe, so they can only be exchanged, otherwise if they are found to be secretly collected, it is a taboo between the tribes.
There were still some dried meat and fish left in the house from the winter, and it was already spring anyway, so July brought all the things with You, so he could change them as much as he could.
Yu couldn't understand what salt was, and he didn't understand how that unpalatable stone could appear in July's mouth. But in Yuu's opinion, July is omnipotent, so he obediently carried the food on his back and went on the road. Towards the sheep clan.
The sheep clan is not close to here, and if you think about it, you won't be able to come back for a while. July had to start digging ditches and burning wood by himself, and he also had to hunt and dig traps. It's almost busy.
You've been gone for more than ten days.,July has finished the fence.,It stands to reason that You's supposed to come back.,But I still haven't seen You's figure.。 July was a little worried, even if Yu was willing to stay because of what he lied to him, but after all, after getting along for a long time, July still had some feelings for him.
July presses down irritability. I do things step by step every day, and now the water in the river is no longer cold, and July has a lot more strength. Therefore, you can go down to the river to catch fish, and the fish you catch are still dried into dried fish for the rainy season.
The trap caught a sheep, and July managed to get it back, but alas. This sheep because of the perennial years. Wild and untamable, he doesn't eat grass at all, and he hits the guardrail with the horns on his head all day and night. In the end, the sheep could only be killed in July, and the weather was hot, and July could not eat much alone, so the remaining mutton was smoked by July and hung up to make jerky.
On the twenty-fifth day after Yu left, July had already dug up some wild vegetables in the field and came back and planted them in the fence. July thought it would be very difficult to feed. But these wild vegetables that were dug up in July are very solid and thriving. There's no wilting that you should have after moving.
On the fortieth day after Yu left, July couldn't wait, and planned that he would not come back and go out to find it. She had wanted to do this for a long time, but in the vast forest, trying to find someone was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, so it has been delayed until now.
Just when July had planned to move all the dried meat into the hole, so as not to get wet in the rain after leaving, the voice of Yu called his name loudly from outside the fence. After hearing the familiar voice, a heart that had been hanging for a long time suddenly fell, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
July didn't do it, so I didn't do it. In July, a soft ladder is still made of vines, and if someone wants to come in outside, they can put down the soft ladder, which is convenient and safe.
As soon as you came in, before you could rest for a while, she poured out all the stones in the basket and offered a treasure to July.
But July didn't care if those stones were salt or not, but was more concerned about why Yu had been gone for so long.
Speaking of this, Yu Yi gushed and said, "I didn't expect to go for so long, and I went quickly, but I didn't expect to learn that the sheep tribe was attacked when I arrived at the sheep tribe, not only killed many people, but also robbed the women and food of their tribe, and even robbed the sheep stones in the tribe." Because of this, the great witch of the sheep tribe did not allow me to go to the mountains to pick up stones, and he was not as friendly to me as before. But I couldn't come back without stones, so I had to live in a hollow in a tree outside their tribe, and I often prayed, and the witch finally agreed to my request and exchanged some stones with me. ”
When July heard this, he saw Yu with a smile on his face and picked up a stone and stuffed it for himself, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
Although it is easy to say, July can feel the hardship. The sheep tribe was attacked by a sneak attack, and at this time it was the most sensitive, and I don't know what kind of strength you wasted before the other party was willing to exchange.
"You're amazing. July said to you from the bottom of her heart.
After hearing July's praise, the joy on his face instantly filled a little more, urging July to taste the stone to see if it was the salt that July wanted to eat.
July licked it, it was indeed bitter, but after this bitterness, July could vaguely taste salty.
July's eyes lit up, he took out a clay pot, added water, smashed the stone and put it in the water, and began to try to boil salt.
Seeing that July actually put the stone in a clay pot to boil, he was even more curious, and asked July again and again what he was going to do and when it would be good.
Boiling salt is a very time-consuming thing, and July was annoyed by all kinds of questions asked by You, and suddenly thought of one thing that he had just overlooked.
There are not many people who want to know this kind of mountain salt stone, except for the sheep tribe, other tribes will not want this thing even if they are given away for nothing, and the robber will grab food and women, why do you want to grab this kind of stone, could it be that the other party is the same as himself, and found that there is salt in it?
The answer was about to come out, and July thought of someone, Han Qi.
"Do you know who attacked the Sheep Tribe?" July asked with a frown.
Yu asked July a lot of salt questions, but he didn't expect that July not only didn't answer, but asked him such an inconsequential matter.
For Yuu, this is an inconsequential thing, snatching food still happens from time to time, especially in times of drought, for food and water, war is inevitable, even Yuu has experienced such a thing once.
You Chao continued to stare at the clay pot curiously, to see how to boil the stone into something delicious, and said to July, "It is said that it was made by the people in the evil mountain, and the people of the evil mountain did not dare to come out in the past, maybe there was really no food, so they came out to rob the sheep tribe."
