Chapter 21: Sleeplessness
At this time, primitive people did not know how to dry salt and boil salt, and the intake of salt mainly depended on drinking animal blood or natural salt.
Since seven years ago, there were many fierce beasts and fierce birds in this world, and the number of harvests per hunt of primitive people at this time was greatly reduced, so the blood of beasts was not easy to obtain.
As for natural salt, it is even more precious, because not every place has the opportunity to appear natural salt, natural salt has not been finely processed and filtered salt, which is mixed with a lot of sediment, although it is saltier than animal blood, but it is a little toothy, just like eating a mouthful of sand, if you put some natural salt on the food, when eating food, you basically rely on swallowing, not chewing to eat, despite this, natural salt is still the dream of people here, because natural salt is saltier than animal blood.
"Salt?" Hearing Fu Xi mention salt, a longing light shot out of the spear blade's eyes, but it immediately dimmed, he shook his head and said, "It's too precious!"
After saying that, the spear blade took a bite of the dire cat meat.
"Uncle Spearblade, do you know where the salt is?"
Coming to this primitive world, Fuxi has been eating food without salt for a few days, and a bird has long faded out of his mouth, and at this moment, he wants to grab a handful of salt and stuff it into his mouth.
Spearblade sighed and said, "The salt tribe has salt, but it's too expensive!
Fu Xi hurriedly asked, "Why do they have salt, and where did they get it?"
Spearblade thought for a moment and said, "Their salt seems to have been taken from the shore of a lake called Lake of Death!"
"Lake of Death?"
Fu Xi glanced at Lu Wa, and the eyes of both of them were shining with surprise, the lake of death in the mouth of the spear blade was likely to be a salt lake?
Spearblade nodded: "Yes, it's the Lake of Death, it is said that there are no fish and shrimp in the Lake of Death, and no grass and trees can grow on the edge of the lake, so the people of their tribe call that lake Lake of Death." โ
Fu Xi was even more convinced that the Lake of Death was a salt lake, and if the Lake of Death could be occupied, there would be no need to worry about not having salt to eat, so Fu Xi asked excitedly: "Where is the salt tribe?"
The spearblade pointed to the northwest and said, "The salt tribe is on the other side of the Fengli River, but you still have to climb a mountain to get there!"
Fu Xi followed the direction of the spear blade finger and looked to the northwest, his eyes shining with expectation.
After filling his stomach, Fu Xi and the others were divided into two shifts, he and Da Fly were on duty in the first half of the night, Lu Wa and Cheng Kui were on duty in the second half of the night, and Xi and the injured spear blade did not have to be on duty at night.
After the assignment, they all climbed to a huge tree, because in the jungle at night, the tree is safer, Lu Wa, Xi and the other four people each found a flatter branch to sleep, Fu Xi and the big fly, one east and one west, found a key position to watch the night.
The jungle at night is deep and mysterious, like the moonlight of water sprinkled evenly on the leaves, and it falls on the ground, but it is a patch of spots, and the surrounding is silent and peaceful, and the danger of the jungle cannot be seen at all.
Fu Xi leaned on a thick branch, his eyes kept scanning the dreamlike environment around him, but his heart was difficult to calm down, and Lu Wa and others inadvertently broke into the primitive world, and they may have messed up the entire time and space, there are no high-rise buildings, no convenient transportation, and no convenient and fast network, only a lot of unknown beasts and fierce birds, and undeveloped wilderness, coupled with the matriarchal society of the pit men, Fu Xi felt as if he had a dream, a nightmare, and they didn't do anything wrong, why did the wormhole exile them to this murderous and wild worldใ
In this primitive world, the law of human survival, in addition to competition, is still competition, on the one hand, it competes with the sky, on the other hand, it competes with fierce beasts and fierce birds, and today's encounter with Lu Wa and others may be the normal state of their lives in the future, if he wants to survive with self-esteem, he must become strong in the future and find a way to kill any animal that threatens him, even people.
In this matriarchal society, the code of conduct of human beings is formulated and dominated by women, in order to maintain the dominance of women, most of the rules they formulate are to maintain the status of women and suppress the development of men, which is undoubtedly a tight spell on his head for Fu Xi, as long as his actions and thoughts touch the interests of women, those women can recite the tight mantra and make him miserable, of course he is not willing to be controlled by those women.
Therefore, there are a thousand reasons, ten thousand reasons, to make Fuxi work hard to make himself stronger and more influential, to break the social order of matriarchal society and create a new order centered on men.
This night, Fu Xi thought a lot, thinking about it, he couldn't sleep more and more, he felt that there were too many things for him to do in the future, and he didn't have much time to waste.
"Why didn't you wake me up, it's time for you to rest!"
Lu Wa's voice suddenly sounded in Fu Xi's ears, when did she come to him? He didn't notice it at all, it seemed that he was thinking too much.
"Oh, I forgot, I'm not tired yet, you can go and sleep a little longer!"
"I've slept well, what were you thinking about just now, thinking so much?"
Lu Wa leaned against another branch, face to face with Fu Xi, and in the light of the moon, she could vaguely see Fu Xi's deep face.
"It's nothing, it's just cranky!"
Fuxi didn't want to confess his thoughts to Lu Ao, because Lu Au is also a woman, and Lu Au is still an assertive strong woman, he is a little worried that Lu Au will hinder him in the future!
"Are you worried about Kang returning to them?"
Lu Wa saw that Fu Xi's face was flushed with worry, and he thought that Fu Xi was worried about Kang Hui.
"yes, I don't know how Kang Hui and Dr. Hou are doing now, will they survive like us?"
Fu Xi followed Lu Wa's guess and said, Kang Hui is his hair small, of course he is also worried about Kang Hui, otherwise he would not have appeared here.
The two talked for a long time, and as they spoke, Fu Xi gradually fell asleep, and Lu Au also stopped talking and quietly looked at the sleeping Fu Xi.
On the second day, when Fuxi woke up, the sun had already outcropped, and Lu Wa asked Fuxi to sleep a little longer and let the others not disturb Fuxi.
After eating a few wild fruits picked by Lu Wa and others, Fu Xi and the others were about to return home, but the spear blade spoke at this time: "Fu Xi, since we have come here, why don't we continue to look for it, and maybe we can find your people!"
Fu Xi and the others all looked at the spear blade in surprise, only to see the spear blade's face calm.
"What do you think?"
After a few thrilling experiences yesterday, Fuxi didn't want to be stubborn anymore.
Nozomi was the first to express her support for Spearblade's suggestion, although she had experienced several thrilling dangers yesterday, she was curious, she felt that this demon mountain was mysterious, and she felt that with the powerful Hee by her side, she felt safe.
Then Cheng Kui and Da Fly also agreed in hesitation, and finally Lu Au also nodded and agreed.
Today, Fu Xi and the others were a lot more careful, whenever there were any suspicious animals and plants, it would cause everyone to be highly nervous, and after walking for about an hour, the spear blade suddenly jumped up and shouted: "Ah?!"
