Five days later.

There was a constant roar on the top of the mountain above the valley of the Xia tribe, all kinds of stone tools knocked on the stones, and there were constantly scattered stones and rolling, and one by one the sturdy men were bare-chested, waving the weapons in their hands, and smashing the stones under their feet.

Smash smash smash.

I smash.

The patriarch commanded, where the stone is high, he will smash it, and there is no need to worry about stumbling on the stone.

In the midst of the rocks, the raised stones were shattered, and then a woman carried a bamboo basket and loaded the gravel and poured it towards the mouth of the valley below.

On the west side of the mountain, the same people cut down the trees and leveled out the gentle slope of the mountain, and every few meters there was a step, and the size of each level was different, and in general, the lower the level, the larger the place.

The quarried stones were carved into blocks with stone soldiers, and then some people carried them to the top of the mountain, and the smaller stones were laid on the edge of the terraces.

"Get out of the way, let me come. ”

The huge hand grabbed a two-meter-long stone bar, one fell on the shoulder, and the other hand grabbed another one and put it on the shoulder.

Qiang Qiang Qiang.

A series of eight long stones were carried on the shoulders of the giant, and they followed the winding mountain road that had been carved out towards the top of the mountain.

......

In the valley, Xia Tuo looked at the two old men in front of him with a smile, from the Qianshan tribe.

In the past few days, he has successively received four tribes to come to exchange salt, and today this is the fifth.

Whether the tribesmen want to or not, whether they understand it or not, the construction of new tribal land has already begun, and the construction of houses and terraces will naturally be done by the tribesmen.

Besides, the men and women in the wild land have nothing to pamper and carry, and it is trivial to carry them on their shoulders.

In contrast, he, the patriarch, was the leader of the handshake again, and in front of him was the leader of a small tribe from this mountain wilderness.

The two of them carried the animal skins that the tribe had hunted hard, and crossed the mountains and mountains to come in exchange for some salt, but they thought that the Lu tribe would actually change people.

"The animal skins brought by the two of them are indeed not very good. ”

Xia Tuo said loudly, the animal skins in the two rattan baskets in front of him were dull in luster, and there were dry blood stains, and the fur was stuck together, just ordinary animal skins.

With his words, the faces of the two old men couldn't help but darken.

It was already the best thing they could get their hands on, and the tribe had a hard time, and the two tribes had to come together, and even then they could barely survive.

"Someone. ”

The expressions of the two old men changed, and in Xia Tuo's eyes, he shouted outside the cave.

A teenager heard the shout, ran in with a stone jar in his arms, put the jar in front of Xia Tuo, and respectfully called out to the patriarch and retreated.

"It's a pound of salt. ”

Xia Tuo pushed the stone jar onto the two people in front of him and motioned for the two to open it and take a look.

Click.

"This ......"

At Xia Tuo's suggestion, Qian stretched out his hand and opened the jar, and was stunned for a moment, not only the mountain next to him was also stunned.

A jar full of salt, a grain of glittering blue, and there was no gravel in half of the jar.

"This is for us?"

Shan said incredulously.

"Of course. ”

Xia Tuo nodded, and then said: "How can my Xia tribe smash their own business if they make a deal, this time the two of them were frightened, and this jar of green salt can be regarded as making amends for the two of them." ”

"It's too much. ”

The old man was bored for a long time, but he still said out loud that in the past, they could only exchange one-third of the salt in this jar in the Lu tribe, and more than half of the soil had to be mixed in.

Xia Tuo's hand really scared the two of them.

It's too bright.

was really squeezed too hard by the Lu tribe, and for a while, the two old men didn't know what to say, and their hearts were full of ups and downs, and it was difficult to hold themselves.

"If there is any need in the tribe in the future, you can come to my Xia tribe to barter. ”

He smiled and said to the two old men in front of him, he didn't care about the identities of the two old men, what he cared about was replacing the influence of the Lu tribe on this mountain as soon as possible.

The Lu tribe is powerful to the image of this mountain wilderness, and now he has come to show grace.

"Armor, weapons, bows and crossbows can be exchanged as long as necessary. ”

"You really can. ”

The old man's eyes showed disbelief, when they entered the valley, they saw a group of clansmen of the Xia tribe wearing similar armor, carrying bows and crossbows on their backs, holding stone soldiers, and a vicious aura rushed towards them.

"Not bad. ”

Xia Tuo nodded and said, "However, it is not easy to make armor bows and crossbows, and they require a large number of animal bones, skins and even wood, so if you want to exchange them for armor and bows and crossbows, the cost will be greater." ”

"Still. ”

Just when the expressions of the two old men were gloomy again, Xia Tuo's voice pulled the expressions of the two back again.

"I'm interested in all sorts of ores, fragments of relics, herbs, and even some strange things, and if you two can get them, they will pique my interest, including bows, crossbows, armor, and salt. ”

"Really?"

"Hmm. ”

The abrupt Xia Tuo's expression suddenly became fierce, and he said: "Of course, although I like these things, it's not that any stone can be used to deceive me, even if I am good at talking, the totem warriors in the tribe will not stop." ”

"Yes, yes, yes. ”

When the two old men were about to leave, Xia Tuo's voice came from behind the two.

"In three months, my tribe is ready to open a barter bazaar, and when the time comes, we can come and see if there is a need. ”

"Bazaar?"

"If you meet people from other tribes, please let the two of you know. ”

With doubts, Shan Heqian left the Xia tribe.

"Patriarch, as for giving them so much salt?"

The Great Elder walked in, looked at the jar in the old man's rattan basket, and then looked at the tattered animal skin under his feet, and said with some distress.

Xia Tuo didn't answer, but asked in a changed voice, "How is the top of the mountain?"

Speaking of business, Elder Rein didn't care about the jar of salt, and replied: "The top of the mountain is already flat, and with a few totem warriors of Hong and them, it is easy to level it out." ”

"Well, build the house as soon as possible, and the terraces or something can be fiddled with later. ”

Speaking of this, Xia Tuo remembered again and said, "Is the waterwheel ready?"

Without waiting for the Grand Elder to answer, he had already gotten up and walked out.

"Let's go, let's see. ”

At the corner of the valley leading to the salt mine, a spring bubbled up, forming a pool of more than ten square meters, surrounded by bluestones.

At this moment, in the pool, a sink stands diagonally upward, and the sink is made of a green bamboo plant the thickness of a full bucket, which is split in the middle and hollowed out at the bamboo joints.

In the trough, small bamboo tubes are connected by animal skin ropes to turn into tracks, and they go diagonally up to a point of thirty meters at the cliff.

Thirty meters from the cliff, a canal was dug and a huge wheel of the waterwheel was embedded in the canal.

In this canal, there is another waterwheel, which is more than 20 meters high, and the water is lifted again to a height of more than 20 meters, and one after the other, all the way to the top of the mountain.

Here, Xia Tuo saw a person who shouldn't have been here, Wu.

According to the past custom, the witch should have been in the cave after understanding the witchcraft that he had never understood, especially after getting the witch record left by the original Lu tribe witch.

Wu was on a cliff dozens of meters high, standing in the open water canal, his shriveled fingers groping on the huge water wheel, Xia Tuo grabbed the vines hanging on the cliff wall and came to Wu's side.

"Wu, you... I... No way. ”

Xia Tuo, who was just about to speak, suddenly shouted.

He patted his head and muttered helplessly, "I forgot that this is a fantasy world." ”

Wu didn't pay attention to Xia Tuo, his fingers sketched the lines on the huge waterwheel, and mysterious lines flashed, like a meandering python, and then disappeared into the depths of the waterwheel.

Soon, Xia Tuo saw that in the empty canal, the huge waterwheel was automatically free of water.

"I ...... it. ”

Rubbing his face, he licked his face and said to the witch, "How about you always see me learning witchcraft from you." ”

"You can't. ”

Wu glanced at him very proudly, and then smiled, There are times when you are deflated.

"This time, thanks to the witch mark of the Lu tribe, he is a cursed witch who imprints spells and attaches witch armor, but I didn't expect that the witchcraft road that the old man has been chasing for decades has only found his way when he is old in the past hundred years. ”

"What?"

Without taking care of Xia Tuo's surprise, Wu grabbed the vine and went up again, came to another waterwheel, and began to brand the witch rune.

"Old man, you've mastered witchcraft. ”

After being surprised, Xia Tuo finally reacted, the old man said that he was a witch, but unfortunately he couldn't solve the witchcraft he had pursued all his life, and he could only be regarded as a half-hung wizard.

This is not the right way.

Looking up at the cliff, Xia Tuo shook his head, and came down from the cliff with a sigh.

Wu's way was finally found, but it was also in his twilight years, and he didn't know whether it was joy or sadness.

Time is also fate.

It's really elusive.

"Patriarch, the salt is ready. ”

Back in the cave, Wood arrives with a jar of freshly made salt.

"The prepared salt is hidden in another cave, and it must be hidden. ”

"Got it. ”

Wood nodded and stepped back.

"Great Elder, in the past few days since I left, the construction of tribal houses cannot be stopped, and all the small tribes who come to barter, give them enough salt, now we are not short of salt, they have been pressed by the Lu tribe for a long time, just so we can collect a wave of gratitude. ”

"I'm afraid that some people don't know what to do. ”

Regarding the Great Elder's words, Xia Tuo smiled at the corner of his mouth and responded: "Whoever doesn't know what's wrong, let Hong take someone to let them know." ”

After arranging the affairs of the clan, Xia Tuo once again took the deer towards the gale, and it was good to swallow the Lu tribe, but some things had not been resolved.
