Chapter 027: The Return Trip
It took Zhan half a day to learn the practice of fern root glutinous rice cakes, and he took the people and horses away, Lu gently told him that only this kind of "black vine" can eat like this, as for other tree roots, plant rhizomes, they Qinglu tribe has not tried it, Dapeng tribe can try it if they are interested, but don't come to her if you eat dead people.
Zhan felt more and more cunning about her.
It turned out that this was not a tree root at all, but a kind of black vine, although there are many black vines on the mountain, but they must be carefully identified and sorted to dig up.
Fortunately, there are still demon yam to eat, and it should not be difficult for their tribe to survive this winter.
Watching them walk away, the figure gradually disappeared into the vast wind and snow, and Dacheng's shoulders slowly relaxed.
"I'm also worried that they won't go. "When the time comes, the people they received came, and when they saw that the people of the Qinglu tribe looked half-dead, it was difficult to keep a bad idea.
Lu said softly: "We are worried, and they are also worried." "I'm worried that the people and horses coming from the Qinglu tribe are too powerful, and they won't be able to leave if they want to.
She sat in the snow all of a sudden—the ground was covered with animal skins, and she didn't worry about freezing her buttocks—and since she arrived at the Dapeng tribe, she hadn't been relaxed for a moment, and she was always tightening a string, but fortunately she flickered back and forth, and finally she was fooled into a lot of gains.
She happily looked at the sheepfold surrounded by branches and snowdrifts: "Our people will not be able to arrive until dark, and it is not suitable to hurry when we arrive, it seems that we will spend the night here, take advantage of this time to get a big snow hut out quickly, and be directly hit by the wind and snow in the face, and the face is about to be rubbed blood." ”
Ayutthaya said, "Big Snow Room?"
"I'm going to teach you a new way to build an igloo today, which is much, much bigger than the one we made before. Lu Qingqing, who had completed the task, was in a good mood, got up from the ground again, and began to command Dacheng to do this and that.
Along the way, she walked with the people of the Dapeng tribe, she didn't dare to make an igloo, and the real wind and food slept in the open air, but it hurt her, what she wanted to do now was a real snow house, the most authentic kind where the Eskimos lived.
In fact, she didn't plan to tell anyone about this kind of snow room, after all, this is a kind of building that can live in the wild, and it is not the same as the egg-shaped snow house in the cave.
At first, when she saw the tents of the Roc tribe collapsed and covered in snow, she had the idea of teaching them, but then she dismissed the idea.
First, the Dapeng tribe is not as rich as she imagined, and no matter how much more snow hut she imagined, it may not be able to exchange more salt and livestock, and secondly, the Dapeng tribe is stronger than she imagined, once they have food and shelter, they don't have to worry about food and shelter, and they find that the Qinglu tribe has so many "technologies" that make them blush, and they will be finished if they are provoked to kill.
At this time, she is willing to teach Dacheng, mainly because they are familiar with this industry, and now she is tired and happy, and she is unwilling to wronged herself again.
Lu gently asked Dacheng to dig up all the snow on the ground, and dug out an area that was about a circle, four or five meters in diameter, about one meter deep in the place, and about half a meter in the shallow place, which was the living area. Then use a stone knife to cut out a huge layer of snow bricks from the snow, build the first layer along the excavated circular living area, and then use the stone knife to split the first layer into a spiral, and continue to build the second layer of snow bricks and the third layer of snow bricks on this basis.
The spiral is split in order to be better stressed and stronger, and the higher you go, the more you have to close it inward, forming an arch, and finally only the top skylight remains, which is sealed with the last snow brick.
At this time, Ayutthaya stayed in a sealed yurt-like snow room, and Lu gently asked him to cut a small door close to the ground, and dug a passage along the door for people to enter and exit, as if it was a tunnel dug from the ground.
Lu smiled lightly and crawled in and out of this passage, looking at the wide space inside and was very curious - her former hometown rarely had such a big snow, so she really had never made such a big snow room.
"It's still cold inside, but if you move around for a while, it will slowly warm up. Lu said softly, let Dacheng light a fire in the igloo, and then the two of them worked together to wipe the gap between the snow bricks and the snow bricks, while leaving two small vents.
Ayutthaya asked, "Won't such a big igloo be blown down by the wind?" They were almost on the top of the mountain, and the wind and snow were very violent at night.
"No, it's an arch that will be blown more rounded by the wind after a while. Lu lightly vaguely said, I really don't know how to explain the problem of force to an aborigine.
Ayutthaya exclaimed, "You know so much. ”
Lu said lightly: "I got it because of a blessing in disguise, and I got it in exchange for my life." ”
Dacheng turned his head and looked at her deeply, and smiled, this time he went to the Dapeng tribe, he felt that there was something different about Lu Qingqing, or rather, she was showing her new face like a person all the time, and the more she contacted her, the more she found that she was not simple.
In addition to repaying the horn for saving his life, he found that he had another reason to stay in the Qinglu tribe willingly.
When it was dark, Ershi and the young man who went back to carry the rescue soldiers finally came back with the people of the Qinglu tribe, and there were more than 20 people, and it was actually the horn himself who led the team.
Lu lightly found that his leg was a little lame when he walked, and he couldn't even tell that it was a person who had broken his leg at all, you must know that since she left the tribe, it has only been half a month.
Facing Lu Lu's slightly surprised gaze, Jiao smiled calmly and roughly: "Eat and drink enough, and the injury will heal quickly." ”
But this is also getting better too quickly.
It's not a big fish and meat every day, all kinds of supplements such as running water are irrigated, where can konjac and fern roots be nourished by re-nutrition?
It can only be said that the self-healing ability of the people here is too rebellious.
When Horn saw the flock of sheep crowded together in the sheepfold, his face changed and he was shocked: "This is what you got back?"
Lu smiled lightly: "Yes." ”
Dacheng glanced at her and felt that she was starting to look like she was in the Dapeng tribe again, in her words, "pretending to be forced".
A smile flashed in Dacheng's eyes, and he took the initiative to say: "Here are forty curly sheep, in addition to these, there are also seventy packets of salt, and two bags of two stones to bring back, have you seen it." ”
Let Ershi bring salt back, one is to win the trust of the tribe, and the other is to let the tribesmen who are in urgent need of salt eat salt one day earlier.
Just those two packets of salt caused an uproar in the tribe.
Almost a small half of the people believe that Lu Qingqing can really exchange things back, after all, in their hearts, trading is bartering, but Lu Qingqing and they went empty-handed-the way to eat demon yam and black vine, can this kind of thing really be exchanged for such important salt and meat?
The result shocked them, and it was completely shocking to see so many sheep and more than 20 people such as the horns of salt piled up like a small hill.
