Twilight.

As usual, the Tushan people lined up in front of the big rock, waiting for the chieftain to distribute the day's food.

Today, however, the chief did not immediately assign them, but stood high on the big rock, looking at everyone with a red face.

The clansmen were surprised to find that the chief was beaming, and even his eyebrows were full of joy.

The last time the chief was so happy was when he managed to get water from the lake.

What's going on?

"Everyone. The chief smiled.

The tribesmen fell silent.

"There's extra food to be distributed to everyone today, so everyone goes and gets some containers, like wooden jars and stone jars. ”

Wooden pots, stone jars? What kind of food should be served with this, is it blood? But now that they have water to drink, they don't need to drink blood anymore?

Seeing that everyone's eyes were puzzled, the chief stopped selling Guan Zi and carefully took out a stone pot from behind him.

There seems to be something white in the stone pot.

The chief took a wooden spatula, inserted it into the pot, scooped up a spoonful of snow-white salt, and tilted the spatula to let the salt flutter back into the pot. He did this over and over again, so that the people could see what was in the cauldron.

"Clansmen, do you see what this is?"

The silence in the tribe was terrible.

The chief's face turned red, and he shouted excitedly: "It's salt, this is salt! This is not the salt that the Huangzhen tribe exchanged with us, but the salt we refined ourselves!"

It was as if a large rock fell from the sky and smashed it on their heads, and the Tushan people were all stunned.

"Salt, the salt we make ourselves?"

In the crowd, pheasants looked into a corner in disbelief.

There, Ye Xi stood silently, his expression did not change at all when he heard the chief's words, but he looked at everyone with a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he had known about it for a long time.

Pheasant recalled that when he was in the cave, he vaguely captured the conversation between Luo and Ye Xi, which seemed to mention the word salt?

Thinking like this, the pheasant's hairs stood up in an instant, could it be that after Ye Xi solved the problem of taking water, he refined the salt again!

"Chief, is this really salt, did we really refine salt?" the clansmen looked calm, but beneath the surface of this calmness was a volcano that would erupt when the chief could confirm it again.

Although the chief never lied to them, the matter was too big for them to confirm again.

Looking at his people with fiery eyes and expectant anticipation, the chief nodded slowly but firmly.

Boom, the volcano erupted suddenly!

"Hahahaha, we have our own salt in Tushan!"

"I can't believe it, I can't believe it!"

"You slap me and wake me up, no, no, no, don't shoot, I'm afraid I'll wake up. ”

"Slap you, see if it's a dream!"

"Hahaha!" the man with a red mark on his face was still happy, "It's not a dream, it's not a dream!"

"Chief, why are we suddenly refining salt, is it ......?"

The chief seemed to know what he was going to say, and confirmed his guess: "That's right! Ye Xi taught us to refine it!"

Everyone's eyes shone like searchlights on Ye Xi in the distance, and the pheasants in the crowd also widened their eyes, it turned out to be really ......

Ye Xi had already been mentally prepared, he was not frightened by this exaggerated look, and winked at them and smiled faintly.

The chief beckoned to Ye Xi and motioned for Ye Xi to come over.

Ye Xi smiled helplessly, so he had to step forward and stand on the rock according to the chief's instructions.

The chief grabbed one of Ye Xi's hands, raised it high, and yelled at the crowd: "Let's thank Ye Xi!"

The crowd was silent for a second, and suddenly burst out into a strong roar: "Ye Xi, Ye Xi, Ye Xi!" Everyone roared very hard, their faces were red and their necks were thick, and they even used their strength to eat.

The roar was huge, startling the small winged dragons flying around, and the birds flying in the sky were instantly frightened and flew away, and the echo of Ye Xi Ye Xi echoed in the jungle.

Ye Xi waited for a while before his roar weakened, refining salt was really a trivial matter for him, the process was not complicated, and he felt ashamed to be treated with such enthusiasm.

After thinking about it, Ye Xi hammered his left shoulder with his right hand, hammered his heart again, bent down slightly, and saluted everyone.

The mountain breeze blew his broken hair and gently brushed his cheeks, Ye Xi straightened up and said, "...... All for Tushan. ”

Tu Shanren was stunned, his roar was stagnant, and then he didn't know who started first, and everyone hammered their hearts to Ye Xi on the rock, and this waist was not slightly bent like Ye Xi, but deeply, deeply, almost at a right angle.

"All for Tu Shan!"

The sight of hundreds of people bowing solemnly to him at the same time finally made Ye Xi unbearable, he bent his knees, jumped off the rock, pointed to the sky and shouted to the chief: "Okay, don't divide the food anymore, be careful that it's going to be dark!"

The people laughed good-naturedly.

Here, the clansmen finally began to distribute food. Over there, Ye Xi turned around, but found that at some point, Wu was standing at the mouth of the cave with a cane, looking at him with a smile.

"Wu?" Ye Xi was surprised.

Wu beckoned to him.

Ye Xi didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly ran over.

After Ye Xi ran over, Wu patted Ye Xi's hand, turned around and walked towards the cave, and motioned for Ye Xi to follow.

Wu was full of white hair, and his hands on crutches were dry and thin.

Wu walked slowly, but he walked firmly, making it feel like every step he took was solid.

Once again, to the deepest part of the cavern.

"Ye Xi, good boy. Wu turned around and looked at him lovingly, "I can see that you really think of yourself as a Tushan person, bringing us water and salt, Wu wants to thank you." Tu Shan killed a few wolf-toothed people before, Wu is very sorry, I hope you don't mind. ”

Hearing Wu mention the matter of cannibalism, Ye Xi's eyebrows jumped, and bad memories surfaced again.

He always wanted to forget about it, because he couldn't accept cannibalism. Traveling to a barren and backward primitive tribe, he doesn't mind at all, but he doesn't want it to be a cannibal tribe.

Thinking of this, Ye Xi hesitated for a moment and said: "Wu, people cannibalism hurts heaven and harmony, my teacher Shennong's tribe is not cannibalism......"

Wu Ningshen looked at him for a moment, nodded and said, "I understand, if it weren't for the lack of food in the tribe, I wouldn't allow the tribe to eat human flesh, I can promise you that even if there is a shortage of food in the future, we won't eat people." ”

Ye Xi breathed a sigh of relief, this period of time together, let Ye Xi gradually accept the Tushan people, although mentioning this now may make Wu think more, but he really doesn't want to see the picture of Tushan people eating human flesh again.

Wu looked at Ye Xi's gaze was still sincere, there was no mustard, and said with a smile: "You have refined salt this time, and the tribe must give you a reward." ”

Ye Xi was happy in his heart, as soon as he talked about rewards, he thought of the flesh of the fierce beast and the blood of the fierce beast, if he wanted to become stronger, these things were not too much, but when he thought that the hunting team should not have hunted the fierce beast recently, his heart of joy fell again.

"The tribe hasn't hunted any beasts lately, but I have something else for you as a reward. ”

Something else?

After Wu finished speaking, he walked to a rock wall, raised his hand and wiped something on the wall with his palm.

The ash fell one after another, and the camouflage on the rock wall was gradually wiped away, revealing a crack, and Wu took a bone dagger from his waist.

Ye Xi fixed his eyes and saw that this bone dagger was very exquisitely made, and it was as thin as a cicada's wings.

Wu inserted the blade of the bone dagger into the gap, pressed it on the handle of the bone dagger, and then held the bone dagger and slowly pulled it back.

A rock on the rock wall was slowly brought out by the bone dagger.

Ye Xi was shocked.

Rocks fall, revealing small lattices inside.

Wu took out the contents and handed the thing to Ye Xi.

A delicate necklace lies quietly in the palm of an old hand.

Ye Xi took it carefully, the thing taken out of the dark grid must be very precious, Ye Xi didn't dare to be careless.

Ye Xi looked at the things in his hand, the necklace was cold to the touch, and the chain pendant was a small cone-shaped water crystal, which was as transparent as a mist, with a faint purple inside, and the chain body was made of silver wire, and I don't know what material it was.

Wu: "This is the pendulum. ”

Ye Xi raised his head and looked at Wu with a puzzled gaze.

Wu: "The spirit pendulum, which can predict good luck and evil and find directions, is a very precious thing made by a great witch." ”

Ye Xi: "You made this yourself?"

Wu smiled and said: "Naturally not, I'm just a witch, there are still 108,000 miles away from the realm of the great witch, the great witch, that is a legendary existence, I haven't even seen it." Speaking of this, Wu was a little stunned.

For the first time, Ye Xi knew that Wu was also divided into grades.

Wu's face turned grim, and he admonished: "You have to hide carefully, if other tribesmen know what this is, they will come and rob it at all costs." ”

Ye Xi was so precious, he didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly responded: "Yes." ”

"By the way, Wu, I want to go to the Kurosawa Tribe Trade Fair with the team, I don't know if it's okay?"

Wu pondered for a moment: "It's okay, you prepare, this time I will send a few more soldiers to follow the team, remember to put safety first on the road." ”

Ye Xi was overjoyed, he didn't expect Wu to agree so happily, and hurriedly responded: "Yes!"

Grunt, grunt.

Ye Xi's face stiffened, and he hurriedly covered his stomach, he patronized the salt refining today, and he didn't eat much.

Wu smiled, waved his hand, and said, "Okay, you go out." ”

Ye Xi blushed, bowed to the witch and then retired, and when he left, his heart moved, and the ghost glanced back.

I saw behind him, in the dim light, Wu Zheng was staring up at the vermilion Tushan totem on the rock wall, and the whole person had an indescribable worry.
