Chapter 45: Losing Conscience

But after looking around, Chen Chao finally found the so-called salt mine near a small hole.

If you want to say how he found it, it all depends on the guidance of the Xian tribe's own people. So many people gathered around a small hole in the rock wall, and there were ghosts that were not noticeable.

Chen Chao looked inside, but he couldn't see anything in the dark.

Originally, he had a preconceived idea that the salt mines should be very large caves as they are now, but when he found them, he found that the cave was extremely small, and he couldn't enter it even as an adult of 1.8 meters.

After looking around, I don't know what tools the Xian tribe uses to get salt.

This thing will definitely not be out of reach, Chen Chao pondered for a while, and decided to use fire to splash water. Enlarge this hole in the rock wall, considering that there is already a certain space behind it, otherwise how would the people of the Xian tribe get salt?

Maybe the stone of this rock wall is not very hard, although there is no way to be sure, Chen Chao still plans to give it a try.

The main method of water pouring is to heat the stone, and then quickly pour cold water on it, which can make the whole stone burst. It was used before when making slings in the tribe.

It's not that he doesn't want to tinker with explosives or something, the threshold for explosives (forbidden words) is indeed not high, but now he can't get the materials he needs around, and he is also worried that if the mine collapses, just cleaning up the stones will kill him.

Seeing that it was still early, Chen Chao began to collect the wood needed to burn the stones. The Xian tribe lived a long distance from the mountains and forests, which is basically equivalent to their living near the salt mines.

The small opening in the salt mine is about halfway up the mountain, and there is a forest at the top of the mountain. Living near the opening of the salt mine is also to better guard and protect the salt mine of one's own family, which is equivalent to the meaning of incorporating the opening into one's own territory.

Maybe it's because there was a lesson in the past, and someone sneaked up to pick salt. Otherwise, there is no need for the Xian tribe to be so extreme, living so far away from the mountains and forests and water sources, after all, once the place of residence is far away from the water source, it means that it is very troublesome.

But there is a new problem, that is, Chen Chao has to get a few more clay pots, and he has to prepare water in advance, so that the amount of wood needed is very large.

In this way, some of the stocks in the Xian tribe were not enough, but fortunately he brought a stone axe with him, so he could go up to the top of the mountain to cut down trees. Looks like we're going to have to stay here for a few days.

Chen Chao first found the water source of the Xian tribe, and it was about three kilometers to walk back and forth. I don't know what the Xian tribe usually relies on to get water, and it is strange that they can't ask for people's lives by moving stone basins back and forth.

Coming to this water source that can barely become a river, Chen Chao took a look at the soil nearby, it was okay, it was not as rough as the Xian tribe, and there was a lot of gravel.

After the clay pot was lived, the sun almost set, and Chen Chao brought a few newly made clay embryos to the Xian tribe.

The Xian tribe still lived in the cave, and Chen Chao put the mud embryo and began to prepare his own dinner.

After cutting a cabbage and finding a few pieces of salted meat, he thought about it and decided to eat some rice. Make a salted pork rice for yourself who has worked so hard.

Ah, it's been a long time since I've eaten white rice~~~

I miss it so much~~~

However, to eat white rice involves the husking of rice, which is also difficult for Chen Chao. He found a stone basin, and a piece of wood, and a simple rice husking tool appeared.

It is to put the rice into a sturdy container and press it up and down with a wooden stick to "separate the quality wall" of the rice, and then the husk can be removed and turned into rice. However, this method of rice cannot be stripped in large quantities of rice, and there are restrictions on containers and manpower.

Chen Chao is alone now, and he can still use this stupid method. Later, if you want to hull the rice in batches, you need to consider researching something special.

Put the rice and bacon in the pot at the same time, and put the cabbage when the water is almost dry.

When he ate the first bite of salted pork rice, Chen Chao was so moved that he was about to cry.

MD, the salt is so delicious!!

The bacon rice is so delicious!!

Chinese cabbage is also delicious!!

After so long, he finally tasted a familiar taste~~

Hiccup~ I don't know how to finish eating a big pot of salted pork rice, Chen Chao feels that the person who ate just now is not himself, and he feels that he has become a beast that can only eat, and his body is no longer controlled by the brain.

After eating the bacon rice, Chen Chao lit a bonfire at the mouth of the cave, accompanied by the night, in this place where there were no insects, no birds, and no wild beasts roaring, he pillowed his arms and quietly fell asleep.

After that, it took two more days to burn pottery and collect wood, and in the morning and noon of these two days, he tried to restore all kinds of delicacies for himself, even boiling water and blanching cabbage.

On the third day he woke up early in the morning, and put the wood under the rock wall, and fetched enough water from the river. By the way, the Xian tribesmen who were surrounding the small cave were moved a little farther away, so that the stones would not break and hurt them.

Light a fire, burn a stone!

Cast a damp over!

"Click, click," Chen Chao breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the rock wall that was obviously beginning to crumble, it seemed that his guess was indeed correct. However, this method is not a panacea, and this time the stone did not explode directly. However, it may also be that the heat is not enough, and it seems that it still has to rely on people to work hard.

When the hole was opened, Chen Chao was so angry that his lungs were about to explode when he saw the scene inside!

I saw that there were many bones in the cave, and there was a little boy lying next to the entrance of the cave, who looked to be only about three or four years old. But he was skinny, but his belly and head were unusually large. Chen Chao wasn't sure if the little boy was a corpse or just unconscious. But it doesn't look like it's rotting yet, and it's not smelling strange.

And those bones all look like children!

Chen Chao roared angrily, only to see that the sky changed instantly, dark clouds pressed on the top, and a downpour came in an instant.

I said how the salty tribe gets salt! TM's original was to fill in the child's life and get salt! Aren't these the children of their tribe themselves!

With such a small hole, it is true that only children can drill in and out, but TM is also reluctant to them!

No wonder there is so much salt to plunder the wealth of other tribes, anyway, children don't have to waste food when they die, and the salt they get can be exchanged for food, the people of the salty tribe are really good at settling accounts!

Chen Chao entered the mine first and picked up the little boy. He tried to listen to the little boy's heartbeat, but he didn't react, but seeing that the little boy just looked like he was asleep, he couldn't be sure if the little boy was dead or not.

Crazy calls in the electronic sound...

"I want to know if he's dead?" Chen Chao pointed to the little boy in his arms.
