Chapter Twenty-Six: The Discovery of the Salt Works

With the help of Li Ming and Yega, Thorn Horse set up a team of his own, five people, namely Wu Ha, Uta, Ye Su, Ishida, plus Thorn Horse; The rule of the tribe is that the strong are respected, and because the stabbing horse is the smallest, it is not convincing as a leader. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoThe captain of this reconnaissance team is Uta, and the thorn horse has a deputy captain, or the orders of Yega and Li Ming; For everyone, vice-captain, it's acceptable.

?? The reconnaissance team led by Uta will reconnoiter the nearby tribes according to a certain period, including the old tribe sites and the surrounding tribes, and will also bring back some terrain and landforms along the way, and Li Ming will make a simple topographic map. Of course, the task of the reconnaissance team is mainly to investigate, but they will also shoot some prey, and every time they return to the tribe, they are basically full of loads.

On this day, Li Ming listened carefully to the report of the Uta team as usual, and Uta briefly talked about the situation of each tribe, mainly including the population of the tribe, the location of the hunting ground, etc., and the other team members also made corresponding supplements. Namu took his disciple Wenxiang and recorded the report of the reconnaissance team on the side.

?? Thorn Horse took out his sketch and handed it to Li Ming. In fact, the entire reconnaissance team, from the previous dissatisfaction with this deputy captain, has now slowly admired; Not to mention that he often puts forward a lot of constructive new ideas in the actions of the team, that is, this simplified map, that lines, everyone is convinced when they see it, and he is the only one who has the ability to draw the entire goshawk. Although you don't know what this simple map is, there is a feeling that everyone knows, that is, to explain the terrain and landforms along the way to this simple map, it will be clearer and clear at a glance, which is something that everyone admires and thinks is magical. I can only sigh in my heart, worthy of being the students of the White Cloud Divine Mother, one by one, they have begun to show their extraordinary side!

?? At the end of the report, Thorn Horse immediately thought of another thing, in order to investigate the hunting grounds of the tribe under the mountain, the reconnaissance team had bypassed the tribe under the mountain and went to the hunting ground on the other side of the tribe. These have all been reported just now, but there is one detail that everyone has forgotten, Thorn Horse didn't think this matter was very important, but in view of the principle of no matter how big or small, he thought it was necessary to report it clearly to Li Ming. Thorn Horse didn't expect that what he described next would be more than he could have imagined.

?? He said that they saw a lake next to the tribal hunting ground at the bottom of the mountain, and they happened to be thirsty at that time, so Wu Ha scooped up a handful of water and drank it, but what Wu Ha didn't expect was that this lake, which looked cool, actually had a bitter taste. Several other team members heard that this water had a bitter taste, but they didn't believe it until they also drank this bitter and astringent water, and there was a kind of water that they couldn't say, so everyone had to believe it.

?? When everyone reported the contents of the investigation just now, they all thought that the lake water was only polluted for some reason, so it had such a taste; Besides, this can't quench your thirst, and the water that feels dry after drinking it is useless to think about it, so I automatically skipped it and didn't mention this problem.

?? However, what everyone didn't expect was that after Li Ming listened to the brief description of the stabbing horse, his eyes lit up, and he didn't know the taste of salt for three years. Li Ming has always wanted to get out of this jungle, of course, the main thing is to find a way home, but in fact, he has also planned for the worst, thinking that even if he can't go home, he can at least find a piece of coast, and find a way, but also get some salt.

?? Perhaps the main food of the people in the tribe is mainly meat, which contains relatively large amounts of salt, or because of the physique, all the symptoms of possible salt deficiency do not appear in everyone's body. But Li Ming, for these years without salt, it can be regarded as a lot of suffering.

?? After listening to the description of the stinging horse, there is no doubt that it is a salt water lake, and I have always thought that there is salt in the sea, but I have ignored the situation of the inland salt lake.

?? After knowing that there was this salt water lake, Li Ming didn't sleep all night, and he was so excited that he spent the whole night thinking about how to refine salt, and there was also a thorny problem that after all, there were two tribes in the middle of this lake, and if he wanted to develop it into a salt farm, he might inevitably encounter attacks from those two tribes. I didn't know the names of the two tribes before, but the tribe called the two newly discovered tribes the tribes of the mountain.

?? After two days of preparation, Li Ming was ready to rush to Salt Lake with the goshawk team and the tiger team, but then You insisted on sending fifteen more hunters, plus Yega to lead the team, counting, except for the hunters who guarded the house, this was almost a nest dispatch, fortunately, there are now two stable prey in the pasture, otherwise, for the operation of the tribe, it would not be possible to draw so many people at once.

Before leaving, Li Ming and everyone briefly popularized the knowledge of salt, and everyone also had some preliminary probabilities about the word salt; Especially the members of the goshawk team, they have tasted that taste, and they can better understand what "salty" tastes like; It's just that Li Ming said that salt is the king of all flavors, but they didn't feel that there was anything special about saltiness, because these waters can't even be drunk, and what value is there.

In order to bypass the tribes under the mountain, the team made a long detour, and by the time they arrived at the salt lake, it was already three days later. This is a small lake that is empty all around, if a person is on the other side of the lake, he cannot see people clearly, but he can see a human figure; In order to avoid encountering the people of the tribe under the mountain, Li Ming brought the large army to the other side of the lake, so that even if the people from the tribe under the mountain came, there would be a buffer zone, and they could even hide first to avoid encounter. Because Li Ming found a large number of people's footprints by the lake, it shows that people from the tribes under the mountain often come to the lake.
