The valley is not as interesting as the wild, but everything is very new to Xue'er, and Song Xuan also arranges Xue'er into some things she can do.

I haven't been here for more than half a year, and the valley is very messy, so I still have to clean it up during the cooking time, and this time the ditch dug before is still unimpeded, just clean up the dead branches and leaves in the small puddle.

Song Xuan also asked people to walk along this canal to the source, all the way to see if there was anything abnormal, the water quality in this era is not too worried, but after all, it is a ditch dug artificially, it is still a little abrupt in this area, the surrounding animals will inevitably come to drink water, Song Xuan is also worried that there will be little beasts dying in the canal, after all, the amount of water is very small, once it is polluted, it will affect a whole tribe.

"Oracle, it's clean!"

After simply inspecting the stone and soil back and forth, no animal carcasses were found, at most some insects and the like, which had no effect, and he also cleaned up these debris with branches, and it was also regarded as dredging the entire canal, after all, it was relatively narrow, and the miscellaneous things were piled up more, and it was easy to be blocked.

"Jingle Bell~"

After a short rest after the meal, everyone began to get busy, there is not much salt in the tribe, naturally we have to seize all the time, dig some, and bring it back after refining, but it is difficult to come out once, and it must also reach a certain amount, at least to meet the use of the tribe this year.

The whole process is a little easier to crush the ore and boil the salt, when boiling the salt, one person has to be responsible for several cauldrons, and it is smoky and burning, so Song Xuan finally let Xue'er participate in smashing stones, to Xue'er's step is already the last step in digging salt, to her hands Most of the ore is only the size of soybeans, what needs to be done is to crush it with stones, and then use a small broom to clean it into the basin on the side, and after accumulating a certain amount, you can carry out subsequent refining.

The refining of salt is still the previous steps, it may be that the salt ore in it is doped with fewer impurities, this time the salt seems to be whiter, but even so, it is still a little worse than the salt of Wuyu, and it simply does not affect the usual consumption, but it is not so important.

…………

When Song Xuan led people to dig the salt ore, Xiong Guo and his party were only a day's journey away from the Niu tribe, the more they walked to the Niu tribe, the more nervous Xiong Guo and the two became, the food they brought on them had basically been eaten, if the Niu tribe could not accept them, there would really be no way out.

Compared with the apprehension in the hearts of Xiong Guo and the others, the pressure of the grass seedlings is obviously much lighter, and she also sees the state of Xiong Guo's people.

Although Xiong Guo and the others will deliberately carry the grass seedlings on their backs when cooking, but walking on the road, the grass seedlings can clearly see that the packages on their bodies are very empty, and even if they don't do anything in the back, these dozen people will not last long.

Of course, the best news is naturally that the two people he secretly sent to the Niu tribe have returned to the team not long ago, and the news of the survival of Xiong Guo's group has also been successfully brought to the Niu tribe, as for what happened after coming to the grass tribe, Cao Miao did not hide it, so the two of them told Niu He in more detail.

Now that we are ready to cooperate, there is no need to play those careful thoughts, and the most important thing now is naturally to find a way to send Xiong Guo's group of people to Teng Snake.

According to the two of them, Niu He did not object to the opinions put forward for the time being, but said that he would look at Xiong Guo after they arrived, which is understandable, after all, these dozen people appeared very suddenly, the experience of the Kite and Xiong Er tribes is in front of them, and the grass tribe came again This set of rhetoric Before seeing people with their own eyes, Niu He will definitely be on guard, but this is the way it is, so Cao Miao is not worried, I believe that after he sees people, he will not have so many scruples.

When agreeing to Xiong Guo's request, Cao Miao was more confident, after all, it was related to the Teng Snake Tribe, and the Niu tribe would probably not refuse, and now it seems that as long as the people of the two tribes cooperate well, there should not be too many accidents.

In order to prevent being noticed by Xiong Guo and them, after the two finished talking about the matter, Cao Miao let them leave the team, after all, there are not many people from the Cao tribe who came over, Xiong Guo They are just two adults and a dozen children, Cao Miao feels that it is enough to bring seven people, plus eight people.

The team of eight people suddenly had two more people, and it was still easy to be noticed, especially Xiong Guo and the two of them, who had been paying attention to them.

However, fortunately, during the day, Cao Miao and his party kept a distance from Xiong Guo, and the personnel were still relatively scattered, and the two suddenly appeared next to Cao Miao, but they did not attract Xiong Guo's attention.

Cao Miao is now waiting for the group to go to the Niu tribe, and they can do their own tribe's things as soon as possible, although Teng Snake may not let them suffer, but it is still a waste of their tribe's time to dangle such a circle outside, but fortunately, it is only a short time of spring, and time is not so expensive, compared with this time, it is obviously more important to be able to have a good relationship with Teng Snake.

Among the Niu tribe, Niu He actually believed most of them after receiving the news, but the vigilance that should be there still had to be done well, so he didn't plan to send people out to hunt in the past two days, everyone was active near the tribe, and at the same time, he also sent a few people upstream, paying attention to the fact that if there was an accident, he could report it in time.

Last year's events have not been small in the shadow of several tribes, especially the dark clouds behind them also brought people over to prepare to fish in troubled waters, Niu He was afraid that one would accidentally let his tribe fall into a catastrophe, so even if it is unlikely, he is still prepared, not only the preparation to pick up people, but more importantly, the preparation to escape.

Having learned the lessons of the Kite and Xiong Er tribes, Niu He knew that when a small tribe like them faced the attack of a large tribe, it was very slim to completely defend against it, and the defense would not only pay a lot of casualties, but also not necessarily be able to get the desired result, as long as there were a little more people, it would not be difficult for a tribe like them to capture.

Since you can't hold it, it's better to think about how to run, it's all two legs, and this water network is relatively complicated, with the advantage of being familiar with the terrain, as long as you can prepare in advance, most people will definitely be able to escape.

At that time, even if the tribe can't be rebuilt, it's a big deal to escape to the Tengser, which is a very good choice, at least the divine envoy will not treat them like slaves.

Of course, this kind of thinking will only be thought of when they are attacked, and if they live a good life in normal times, they must be more comfortable in their own tribe, even if the conditions are not so good.

As for how to deal with the remaining children of the bear tribe, after learning about the situation, Niu He didn't think too much, Cao Miao was right, sending them to Teng Snake is the safest way, none of their tribes have the ability to absorb so many people alone, and it is not a good plan to disperse, after being learned by Teng Snake, it will affect the relationship between the two sides, it is better to send them all over, so as long as this is the case, he is willing to cooperate with Cao Miao and act in a play.

While the tribes in the south were running for their own lives, the Wuyu tribe in the north was in a state of anger.

"What about people?! Why haven't they come back yet??! ”

Listening to the angry voice of the black king, all the people of the dark cloud tribe under the throne did not dare to take a breath.

Before the arrival of last winter, they had not seen Wuyun return to the tribe with people, but they didn't pay attention to it, after all, there was not much time left for Wuyun and his party at that time, and there were more than a dozen tribes in the south, including more than 100 tribes, and it was really difficult to fight, although in their opinion there was no possibility of failure, but the time to go back and forth, plus the time consumed by the attack, would definitely not be too short.

So everyone didn't pay much attention to it, and although it wasted two months, they didn't take too many supplies with them when they left, and the food accumulated before was still very sufficient, so a winter was safe, but after the beginning of spring, there was no one to bring back with the clouds, and there was not even a person to ventilate, which was very wrong.

After all, Wuyun took such a huge team out at that time, and in addition to the guards of the Black King, there were only more than 100 adult males in the tribe.

Although the combat effectiveness of these three hundred people is not as strong as that of the Wuwang Guard, it is still quite capable of fighting among the surrounding tribes, and what the Wuwang is worried about now is that after the dark clouds defeat the tribes in the south, he has other thoughts in his heart, after all, the team of three hundred people, plus so many prisoners, can completely establish a large tribe alone.

Even this tribe is due to the ability of the black feather to contend with, the more the black king thinks about it, the more he thinks it is possible, after all, the strength and prestige of the dark cloud are not much worse, if he can give enough benefits to the remaining people, it is not impossible to defect to the black feather tribe, the black feather tribe has gradually become stronger by plundering in many ways, and it is not like other tribes, it has a strong cohesion, otherwise he would not have to use the pro-guard team to deter his subordinates.

So seeing that Wuyun did not send someone back for a long time, half a month ago, King Wu sent a few people to check the specific situation, but after all, the distance is not short, and the road is all the way to the mountains, and it is still relatively difficult to walk in the spring.

However, this kind of venting is the norm in the Wuyu tribe, so everyone can only bear it silently and wait for the Wuwang to vent, without saying or doing, there will be no accidents, and they will not worry that the anger will affect them.
