In the west of the Shenzhou Continent, the expedition team where Zhou Yu is located has been nearly half a year since they settled in this indigenous tribe.

After this time together, the expedition members have been thoroughly integrated into this small tribe.

Like Zhou Yu, many young students have sex with local women, and in half a year, there are many more pregnant women in the salt department.

Although most people look for these women to relieve their physiological needs, Zhou Yu doesn't think so, he has been exposed to it since he was a child, and subconsciously believes that since a new life has been conceived between men and women, then the relationship between the two should be husband and wife.

For the woman who was pregnant with him, Zhou Yu has always regarded her as a wife, and when he returned to Xia Kingdom, he hoped that he could bring her back.

As for the salt department, after getting the advanced technology brought by these Xia Guo students, the way of life has changed greatly.

Although more than ten years ago, the expedition team of the Xia Kingdom came here, but at that time, the Xia Kingdom sent all ordinary people who could not read big characters, and those people had just left Ru Mao to drink blood, and the things they could bring to this tribe were extremely limited.

And these students are different, they have been forced to receive education since they were young in Xia Guo, and they can be said to be very rare high-achieving students in this era.

Although the scientific expedition failed, for these natives who have lived in the mountains for generations, Zhou Yu is like an omnipotent god.

Zhou Yu and they met the people of the salt tribe to improve their bows and arrows, cast nets to catch fish, and they found a lot of vegetables here, and most importantly, a lot of sweet sorghum grew here.

The discovery of these things allowed the salt department to transition from the era of hunting and gathering to a lifestyle of semi-farming and half-fishing.

On the relatively flat slopes, a large open space has been burned, and after the sorghum seeds are planted, after several months of growth, the fiery red sorghum on the slopes of the hill is growing very gratifyingly.

This scale is not worth mentioning at all for the expedition members who are accustomed to seeing the large areas of fertile farmland in the Xia Kingdom.

But for Arishiobe, who was trying farming for the first time, it was a gratifying thing.

There is Zhou Yan, the young patriarch of the salt department, although he has never eaten sorghum rice himself, but these Xia people have mentioned the deliciousness of rice more than once.

He didn't know how long the sweet sorghum had been growing here, all he knew was that the stalks of the stalks tasted sweet, and the red seeds were thrown aside.

Now that he thinks about it, it's really a violent thing, and he regrets it.

He didn't know how much he could harvest from these sorghums, but watching the food he planted with his own hands increase day by day, he knew that a good day with salt might be coming.

A few days later, after the team confirmed, it was time to harvest the sorghum.

The people of the salt tribe all went out and started a harvest war in full swing.

Sweet sorghum is a plant that can be said to be full of treasures, and in the Xia Kingdom, sorghum seeds can be used to make city rice, or used to make wine.

Straw can not only be used to boil sugar, but the remaining residue is also a good material for making paper.

But for the salt department, the most important thing about sorghum is those seeds, and it is impossible to boil sugar, and if you want to taste the sweetness, you can only eat those straws like sugar cane.

However, tearing the hard skin of sorghum with teeth is not a simple matter, especially for those children in the tribe who are in the age of changing their teeth, the temptation of sweets is incomparably great, in order to eat this rare taste, I don't know how many children have paid a painful price, and the gums are cut by the sharp edges of the straw and are drenched in blood.

A few days after the sorghum was harvested, just as the people of the salt department were looking forward to eating the first meal of the legendary sorghum rice, the sentinels who returned in a hurry shattered this beautiful illusion.

Zhou Yan listened to the spies' report and was immediately shocked.

"What, the Red Mountain Department was attacked by those monsters, and none of them escaped?"

The spy replied with a solemn face: "Patriarch, what I said is true, I saw with my own eyes that several monsters suddenly appeared in the Red Mountain Tribe, it happened too fast, they all died, if it weren't for the luck of a few of us, if we arrived in the Red Mountain Department half a day earlier, we would probably have died." ”

"Since the Red Mountain Department has perished, I can't imagine that those monsters will develop so quickly."

Zhou Yan's face turned a little pale when he was shocked by the sudden bad news.

The Red Mountain Department is a tribe not far from the Salt Department, which can be reached in almost two days, although the Red Mountain Department is suitable for very small tribes, but it is not that there is no resistance at all, and it is slaughtered by those monsters, and they also have ballistas made by the Xia people, all of which ended up like this.

Zhou Yan suddenly had a feeling of sadness for the dead rabbit and the fox.

Seeing Zhou Yan like this, the captain said: "Patriarch Zhou, it seems that we can't continue to wait, the Red Mountain Department has been attacked, maybe we will be here next, we must unite those tribes, now the number of ballistas and bows and arrows is barely enough, and it will be dangerous to drag it on." ”

Zhou Yan came back to his senses when he heard this, and hurriedly said to several clansmen: "You should immediately notify those tribes now, let them meet with the salt department as soon as possible, and tell those leaders that if you don't want to die, immediately put down everything and take the clan to move immediately." ”

"Yes!"

Several clansmen answered, brought weapons and food, and left the tribe non-stop, this matter is related to the life and death of the entire tribe, and there is no room for delay.

After watching the messenger disappear into the distance, Zhou Yan anxiously said to a few people, "Can we defeat those monsters?" ”

The captain was silent for a while and said: "Patriarch Zhou, we have been preparing for half a year, just for this time, as the leader of the salt department, you can't have any timidity, since you don't plan to leave here, you will guard this place with the belief of death, your every move will affect your people, and they are all watching you from behind." ”

The captain's words calmed Zhou Yan down, and he saluted solemnly: "In response to the reminder you gave me, you can rest assured that as long as I am alive, I will definitely protect my people." ”

The captain nodded and said: "Let's start preparing now, we can't let those monsters take the lead in attacking us, we must take the initiative, those monsters' lair, we all know where they are, and when the other tribes arrive, we will act immediately, the old and weak, women and children are in a safe place, whether we can exterminate these monsters depends on this time." ”

Zhou Yan nodded solemnly and said, "Xia people, if I die, please leave here with my people and let them go to Xia Country with you." ”
