Zimeng stared at the mink and said vigilantly, "Why are you asking this?"

The people of the other tribes also stared at them for a moment, and the friendly and warm atmosphere just now disappeared.

Mink didn't expect his casual question to make the people of the Qi tribe react so much, seeing that they looked like thieves, he twisted his eyebrows unhappily.

Ye Xi suddenly laughed.

Everyone looked at Ye Xi.

Ye Xi smiled and said, "Our Tushan women usually eat with us, so it's a little strange." The mink only asked casually, and if it was inconvenient to say, we didn't ask. ”

The atmosphere eased a bit. The people of the Qi tribe looked at each other, and their faces were a little embarrassed.

Zimon said apologetically, "They're in the cave, and we'll bring them back when we're done." ”

As if to whitewash the unpleasantness just now, the people of the Qi tribe tried their best to stuff Ye Xi and Mink with leg of mutton: "Eat more." "The apologies were very clumsy.

Ye Xi didn't pay attention to the little episode just now. He could see that the people of the tribe were not bad, and it was normal to be a little vigilant.

Ye Xi looked at the embarrassed faces of the others, and said something else: "I see that you drilled wood to make a fire just now, don't you have flint?"

"Flint?" Zmon was distracted and asked curiously, "What is flint?"

Ye Xi took out two small flints from the animal skin bag: "This is it." ”

Zmon looked at the two translucent yellow stones and said, "You mean, this stone can make a fire?"

Ye Xi simply demonstrated it to them.

He looked left and right, plucked a handful of hay near the cave, and then sat down cross-legged, taking a flint in each hand, and so on and so on.

Click!

Sparks splashed out between the flints and floated into the hay balls below.

All the people of the tribe widened, leaned forward, and some simply gathered around.

Click, click, click!

Ye Xi hit a few more times, and more and more sparks fell into the hay ball below, and small flames came out of the hay ball.

"Wow!" All the people of the Qi tribe glanced at the flames, and then took a rare look at the flint in Ye Xi's hand, and their mouths were amazed: "This stone can really make a fire!"

The Qiang tribe has been living in the snow-capped mountains, isolated from the world, and has not communicated with other tribes or anything, and today I learned that there is a thing called flint that can actually make a fire.

Zimeng looked at the flint in Ye Xi's hand as if he saw some treasure, and said cautiously, "Can I touch it?"

Ye Xi smiled and handed him the flint: "I'll give you these two pieces." ”

Zimeng was shocked, his hand retracted as if it was burned, and waved his hand again and again: "How can this be, I didn't mean to ask you." ”

"It's okay, we still have a lot of them, you can take it. ”

Two flints are nothing to them, but they have extinguished the fire flint tribe, and there are as many flints as there are. These two pieces should be a thank you for such a sumptuous hospitality.

Primitive people don't talk about it, Zimeng saw that Ye Xi really wanted to send them, so he no longer shirked and accepted it, and then stood up and walked to the depths of the cave without saying a word.

After a while, Zmon returned with two stones.

"You give us flint, and we have something for you. As he spoke, he handed the two stones, one by one, to Ye Xi and Mink.

Ye Xi looked down at the stone in his palm.

The stone was ochre-red, rounded, and shaped like a pebble, and there was a heat in the palm of the hand, and the heat spread to the arm.

So that half of the body is warm and dry.

"We call this flint, and it doesn't do anything else, it just heats up. When it's cold, wear one, and people won't be cold. ”

Ye Xi thought of the appearance of ordinary people shivering from the cold during the great cold wave, and looked at this piece of flint, his eyes lit up.

Although it is not of great use to them warriors, it is definitely a good thing for ordinary people of the tribe!

Ye Xi thought for a while and said, "I like your flint very much, how about I exchange it with you more flint?"

Zi Meng said apologetically: "We don't have many flints in our tribe, and we are very cold during the rainy season, so we need flints for warmth, so we won't exchange them." ”

Although Ye Xi was a little regretful when he heard this, he didn't force it.

It was getting late, and everyone put out the fire and prepared to go to bed.

That night, Ye Xi and Mink were arranged in Zimon's cave, while Zimeng himself slept in the Datong bunk with his clansmen.

But even then, they didn't see a single woman until the next morning.

Although Ye Xi felt strange, after all, this was the business of other people's tribes, and they were just passing by, so they didn't have to get to the bottom of everything.

Ye Xi and Mink said goodbye to Chief Zmun.

Zmun: "Are you going to the top of the snowy mountain? ”

Mink: "No, we don't go to the top of the mountain. ”

Zimon sighed: "It's better not to go to the top of the mountain, you have flints on you, you won't freeze to death." ”

Mink hesitated for a moment and asked, "Chief Zmon, let me inquire with you." Is there any place near here that the sun can't directly shine on, but there is the reflection of the snow-capped mountains and ice cliffs, and there is also the water flowing through the melting snow, and of course, there must be green grass, a place suitable for plants to grow. ”

Zmon thought for a moment, "There is something special about the place you said, I don't know very well, but one of our tribe may know. ”

"Ye, come here!" Zimon beckoned.

Nono walked over.

Zimeng pushed Ye Ye and pushed him in front of Ye Xi and Mink.

"This kid likes to run all over the mountains the most, and he is more familiar with this snow-capped mountain than me, as long as there is nothing under the snow top, there is nothing he doesn't know. ”

As he spoke, he repeated the conditions that Mink had just said.

After hearing this, Ye said without thinking: "I know that there are two places like this!"

Ye Xi and Mink were overjoyed.

This snow-capped mountain is so big, there is a familiar person to show them the way, I don't know how much trouble has been saved.

Ye Xi smiled: "Then it's troublesome!"

Ye touched the back of his head embarrassedly.

After bidding farewell to the people of the Qi tribe, Ye Xi climbed up the mountain under the leadership of Ye.

The way up the hill now is not as dangerous as it was yesterday, and although it is steep, the terrain is relatively gentle.

Wild nimble leads the way in front.

That light step is as agile as a monkey.

After climbing for about half an hour, he gradually reached the junction of the snow-capped mountains and the meadows, and when he passed a place, the mink stopped, pointed to the corner of a mountain wall and said to the wild: "I think it is also a shady place." ”

Ye turned his head and looked at the mink's fingers, his face changed slightly: "Don't go there, there are murderous creatures there that will eat people!"

Mink: "Can the light of the snow-capped mountains reach there?"

Ye touched his head: "Maybe." ”

Without saying a word, the mink wanted to go there.

Ye hurriedly shouted: "Hey, hey, there's a murderous thing over there, don't you want to die!"

Ye Xi: "What kind of murderous thing is that?"

"Actually, I don't know, it's just that no matter what kind of animal goes there, it can't come back. And the day before yesterday, I saw with my own eyes a leopard chasing a goat there, but neither the goat nor the leopard came out!" When he said this, Ye's eyes were full of horror.

Ye Xi pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "It's okay, let's go over there and take a look, and if it's too dangerous, we'll come back immediately." ”

He is confident in the strength of himself and Mink, and if he can't beat it, he should be no problem running. Take a step back and say that your eyesight and ear skills are excellent, and if it is really dangerous at that time, it is a big deal to leave early.

Nomi couldn't stop Ye Xi and Mink, so he couldn't be in a hurry.

Seeing that Ye Xi and Mink had already walked over there, he held the spear and circled in place with an anxious face, and finally stomped his feet and gritted his teeth to follow.
