I'm doing shopping in the original
Chapter 60
After breakfast the next day, the leader dispatched some men to gather and hunt.
Many wild beasts have not yet come out in the spring, but this does not prevent the hunting team from reaping a lot. They even caught an 18-meter-long hooked snake and brought it back.
This kind of snake looks like a centipede. Its scales are extremely hard. It is fierce and aggressive by nature. It is non-toxic. It usually suffocates and bleeds its prey to death by entanglement. In addition to its huge size, it basically stares at it. Even the Roaring Beast I have to weigh whether I have to read the almanac when I go out today.But it also has a weakness. It is blind. It is different from the thermal imaging of snakes. The eyes are basically decorations, so it walks all by feeling. It is half a "plague god". Unlucky for myself.
However, the meat is very delicious, white and tender, and the outer shell is easy to fall off after being roasted, and it makes a crisp sound when broken. If it is not too dirty, it can be used as a dish after washing.
It was purely unlucky, it didn't have eyes to read the almanac, and was killed by a man from the tribe with a sling.
The children were so enthusiastic about the new rabbits that they almost drooled to show their welcome. The girls were more careful, and found that these two rabbits seemed to be very docile relatives, they would not kick or bite, so they touched them gently .Ulo knew that relying on these children was probably useless, so he enclosed a field in the open space, built a fence with wooden branches and stones casually, and asked the women to weave a soft and thick grass nest, and put the rabbit in it .
If they are kept in a hole, Uro is afraid that someone will crush them when they sleep at night.
The leader has great ideas about animal husbandry, but these two little rabbits are not enough for her to eat alone, so she is not very interested in it for the time being, and she is even less interested in farming, which has no benefits for the time being.When she woke up this morning, she felt restless, her chest was pounding, and her head was full of salt. If she could not change it, of course it would be better not to change it.
After all, things are the most reliable to control in your own hands.
"He hasn't come yet."
The leader jumped down from the tree house, let go of the rope in his hand, and asked worriedly, "Will he come or not?"
"will not."
The old god Wuluo said on the ground that he was thinking about what to exchange with Yan for better things, such as bows and arrows, and mounts, including the contact information of the tribe that can make linen and silk cloth.The things in the mall can be exchanged for anything, but how can he guarantee that Yan will not seek money and kill him, such things are uncertain.
If it doesn't work, let's see if I can persuade Yan to lend out his place and set up a night market or something, otherwise everyone will not be able to communicate with each other, and it will be inconvenient.
"Look, this will do."
Uro taught the children to play with knots, put them around the rabbit's neck and limbs, and tied it in a coquettish posture, which neither affected the movement nor ensured that it would never escape, except that the scene looked There is no big problem except that it cannot pass the trial.The two rabbits are full of vitality, dragging the new little owners around, and start to eat fresh plants as soon as they see them.
The children cheered happily, Ah Cai was smarter, took a stone knife and a basket, and ran after the two rabbits. If they were eating plants that humans could eat, they would drive them away and dig them by themselves. If the rabbits only ate grass leaves , she just watched the food and broadcast with her face in her hands.
Forcibly turned the two meat rabbits into lucky rabbits.
Uro never dreamed that there was such a way to play.
And when it was almost noon, Yan Ru, as he himself said, came slowly riding a giant wolf.
There was a horse behind him, and he was riding on the little devil's head.
"It seems that the big horned deer are going to graze today."
When Uro saw the beautiful neighbor, he couldn't help showing a smile on his face. After he communicated with the other party, he couldn't adapt to returning to the tribe, just like a newly repaired tape recorder played a song smoothly, I felt uncomfortable when the new tape suddenly jammed.
The leader looked at him suspiciously, not understanding why Wu smiled so brightly, as if he had picked up a dozen quilts on the ground.
Yan is not interested in their living conditions at all. As long as he knocks on the door and walks in, or even visits the cave as a guest, he will probably be able to see the flaws left by Wu Luo's being too soft-hearted. It may be difficult for others to understand, but Yan probably will soon Guess what's wrong with him, or rather, what's the advantage.
But Yan didn't come in, nor did he wear the coat that he was going to leave yesterday.
He changed into blue sackcloth, and looked extraordinarily cold and dangerous in the sun, but he just stood outside the wooden wall, waiting calmly with a moderate voice.
"I am coming."
They had been prepared for a long time, and they took the baskets and baskets and walked out the door easily.
Chi Wei stood majestically. Apart from fishing, he has recently become the captain of the patrol team. When the men are not around, he is the biggest.
Yan Xiaowang looked up at him, smiled brightly, and tried to reach out his hand to signal.
Ke Chi didn't know him, he just glanced at him indifferently, and then turned his eyes to the lush and lush forest, fearing the possible danger.
Now the two sides can only say that there is a trade relationship, but they are far from being an alliance. Not to mention that Chi can't recognize him, even if Chi recognizes Yan Xiaowang and welcomes him with full enthusiasm, Yan will not easily leave the child behind. in the tribe.
So Yan didn't say anything, just waited for the tribe to gather all the people, and then prepared to set off on the road.
"The road is a bit far, you are ready to come back the next day."
Before leaving, Yan made a reminder.
Because he didn't know whether it was a salt lake or a salt mine, Uro asked the people in the tribe to go out to find salt to bring clay pots and baskets. If it was a stone, they would smash it and bring it down; if it was a salt lake, they would set fire on the spot and burn the water. Dried into salt grains, and then filtered and purified after being brought back.Due to the long distance, the leader who originally wanted to follow had to let a woman who knew the way take his place. The tribe still relied heavily on her and could not leave too far away.
This time the road is far more rugged than yesterday. After all, after leaving the forest, Yan’s residence is a fairly open plain. Even a blind person can follow the sound of rushing water to find fireworks, and no matter how uneven the road on the plain , it is much better than the mountain road.
Wu Luo couldn't take it anymore after walking for three hours. Most people in the tribe didn't believe in Yan, so they just followed Wu Luo.
"Can you ride a horse?" Yan pondered for a moment and asked him.
"If you have a saddle, you can do it. Let's go to the racecourse for a few laps." Uro smiled bitterly, "I don't have the skills of a druid like you. I don't even have a saddle. I can't do anything if I want to use force. I’m really not afraid of running wildly and being knocked down.”
At the beginning, the horse was simply pulled back and forth by the jockey, but after getting used to it, and speeding up for a few laps, if the buttocks were not half-suspended, Ulo doubted that he could use it for an afternoon. Lost his mother's 30 years of hard work.
Of course, this kind of semi-suspension is not the same as the jockey's posture in the speed race. It's just that he doesn't sit firmly. It's a bit like the appearance of a bicycle accelerating when riding a mountain road, but the hips are lower than that.
Yan Pingping said, "The more stable you sit, the easier it is to control them."
He stretched out his hand, his eyes looked a little cold, "Come on."
"Can it bear it?" Wuluo looked at the giant wolf for a while, thinking that it must be able to bear it, and immediately stretched out his hand and grabbed Yan. The opponent's arm was like a piece of iron. Usually, he yanked it suddenly like this, sitting on the ground. The center of gravity of a high-ranking person would probably sway, but Yan Wen didn't move at all, as if the sorcerer was grasping an immovable tree,
With a slight lift of the other end, Uro suddenly jumped onto the back of the giant wolf.
He didn't even know how he got there.
Without the burden of Uro, the team immediately moved forward a lot faster.
"What's the name of that horse?" Uro didn't know where to put his feet. He was used to his legs sticking to the saddle and his feet stepping on stirrups. He was not so bold as to not take any protective measures.The two hands are at a loss, like the useless little claws of the Tyrannosaurus rex after evolution, it is not suitable to grab the person in front, and if you don't grab it, you are afraid that you will fall.
The soft long fur of the giant wolf rubbed against his lifted trousers, and his skin was pressed against it, and he could feel the heat and freshness of life.
It's still a little hot.
This long hair is really a bit stuffy.
"It's called Dahei." Yan answered him.
"Then... what about the big horned deer?"
Yan replied again, "It's called Qingwang."
Uro felt that the giant wolf was quite stable, at least he didn't fall off now, but without the saddle whip and rein in hand, it was unavoidable to be a little unsteady, so he had to divert his attention, so he couldn't help turning his head to look The little devil with a murderous look said in surprise, "Why is it the only one called Dahei?"
People in the tribe had learned Mandarin from Wu Luo, but Yan himself knew it. Yan Xiaowang, who had never learned it, was the only one in the audience who was stuck in a language barrier.
Obviously it was his family's wolf, his family's horse, and his old father, but now it seems to belong to someone else's family.
Anyway, Yan Xiaowang couldn't understand a word.
"Those two rabbits are out of ink when they are born, and I am out of ink when I am growing up." Yan's voice still sounded calm. If you don't know the content, just by looking at his demeanor, you may think it is talking What a serious business.
Uro almost laughed out loud.
"Sit down." Yan supported his leg, calmly, as if he didn't realize what he said, "If you move like that, it will throw you off."
Wu Luo hurriedly sat down obediently, he was not so honest in primary school.
The main reason is that the two of them were walking ahead. If they really fell, it would be a double stampede accident by the Majia people. Not to mention the people in the wilderness, even if they were in the tribe, they would end up paralyzed.
Traveling with Yan, Wu Luo really felt a little outing, mainly because the other party could pick up what he said, and he didn't need to spend time explaining and communicating.
But yesterday's happy green tea and music seemed a lot more sluggish. After all, the real Yama opened the way, and I saw it in my eyes, but I felt uncomfortable in my heart.
So they seemed to be crippled, unable to jump up again.
It wasn't until sunset that Yan led them out of the forest and came to an extremely open world. It looked like the sea, vast and vast like water and sky, with deep blue waves, and the sky and earth like a big bowl. The combination of blue and white and green is a stroke of glaze.
From a distance, it looks like a huge smooth mirror.
There is a bit of dampness in the air, and there is still a long way to go to the other side of the water. At this moment, there are not many plants on the road. Looking back at the woods behind, it seems like two worlds in a trance.And the ground is shining with light, it seems that the fish in the sky have lost their scales, and the stars are scattered in the world.
Uro knew that it was probably the salt that had been sun-dried.
The sun is slowing down, trying to give people the last ray of light.
Everyone lit the torches and waited for Wu's order.
"Is there any place to live here?" Uro asked.
"I have a place where I can make salt." Yan dutifully acted as a guide. He asked everyone to light torches and wandered in the wilderness in the dark and bright sky, as if he was not afraid of the possibility in the dark Dangerous, "Fire drives away wild beasts, but it also attracts them. You'd better stay together and not separate."
Ulo looked back and found that a horse and a person were missing behind him, so he said, "Where is your son?"
"He's more familiar with this place than you." Yan didn't care too much.
Sure enough, when everyone arrived at the place where Yan made salt, the child had already started a bonfire.
There is nothing to eat near the salt lake, and animals usually don’t come here. The salt here is too pure, and they prefer to go to some salty rocks or soil to replenish.
Fortunately, the leader prepared food in advance for the great cause of spring and planned to exchange it. Half of the food went into Yan's pocket to exchange for salt, and the other part was distributed to today's salt hunting team, so as to avoid hungry stomach growling at night dilemma.
The place where the salt is made is not big. There are some pottery, bonfires, and benches made of logs. It is barely a large wooden shed. When everyone squeezes together, a dozen or so people can barely fit in, but No one wanted to be with Yan, so they all went out to warm up.
While roasting his own jerky, Wu Luo asked Yan, "Why is there a salt lake here?"
In a sense, salt lakes are also called dead lakes. They are completely isolated. Under drought conditions, evaporation leads to salinization, which is the belonging and end of the life of water.
"I don't know, maybe it's not a salt lake, but a lagoon." Yan frowned, and said slowly, "I'm not sure, it's too widely distributed, and there's a small dead lake on the top of the hill from here, where there are a lot of dead lakes. The deer live there. I ran down here for a day and a night, but it became more and more desolate and more and more saline-alkali land, and I never went down again.”
Lagoon refers to the local sea area formed after being blocked by sandy beaches or rocks at the edge of the sea surface. For various reasons, the sediment accumulates into a natural lake, because the water flow will continue to come and go, and it will be brought The soil slowly accumulated, eventually separating the edge of the sea into a thoroughly soaked patch of land.
But because of this, the lagoon is not as stable as a salt lake, and its water quality will become salty or desalinated as conditions change.If there is plenty of rain, it will be easily desalinated into a freshwater lake, and if sediment from outside washes in, it may even turn into a swamp. The lifespan of this kind of lake itself is not long, and it will disappear without a trace in hundreds or even thousands of years.
However, if this is a lagoon, it means that if they go outside, it will be the sea.
"Did you give this place a name?" Uro asked.
Yan threw a piece of firewood into the fire, and he still remembered the stalk of the afternoon, and said slowly, "I'm out of ink."
Wu Luo smiled, and he said slowly, "Maybe we are in a certain corner of the tail now. The ancients are really romantic. The water in the world, the return of thousands of rivers, does not change in spring and autumn, and finally flows into the tail."
After sighing, he had to return to reality immediately. Wu Luo ate a mouthful of meat and asked, "Why did you guess it was a lagoon?"
The stability of the lagoon is not as high as that of the salt lake. He didn't want a reliable source of salt. After mining, one day he suddenly discovered that it had become a freshwater lake.
"The salt lake is mostly inland. I can't find the end. Either it is too big, or it can only be a lagoon."
Neither of them majored in geology, and Wu Luo was a temporary make-up class. As for Yan, he had too many secrets. Bow gives a chill.
"Forget it, worry about tomorrow, worry about tomorrow, this piece of land alone is probably enough for us to eat for ten years."
Wu Luo pressed his neck, and Yan Xiaowang had already climbed into his small hammock and fell asleep. The hammock was made of straw and wrapped around two main bones. Basically, he couldn't fall if the house didn't collapse.As long as the sleeping posture is not so bad that the sky is angry and people complain, basically you can sleep peacefully until tomorrow morning without accidents.
In the salt shed, there is still some residual salt that has dried up on the bottom of the pottery. The color is not as white as snow, but mixed with impurities, it looks like green salt.
Uro dipped a little, rubbed it on the tip of his tongue, savoring the taste carefully.
It's not very bitter, a little astringent, has a peculiar smell but is not heavy, of course it can't be as salty as refined salt, it is enough for daily use, it should be salt that has been purified once.
"Is it poisonous?" Uro asked him.
Yan was a little surprised, "You have tasted it all, and you still ask me?"
"This little salt won't kill you." Uro shrugged, flicked the salt grains on his fingers, glanced at the crude equipment on the ground, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I feel like I'm back to the experiment in junior high school In fact, I really liked this kind of class at that time.”
"It's hard to make refined salt, but you can't die. It's better than eating plant ash."
Plant ash can also extract salt, but it is potassium salt, which is not suitable for long-term consumption.
Yan lowered his eyes, as if closing his eyes to rest his mind, his eyelashes cast black shadows under the depiction of firelight, making him look much colder, and the vivid beauty when he talked to Wu Luo during the day seemed to dissipate in the air for a short time, only What remains is the strange and beautiful skin, which is gracefully attached to the firelight.
Wu Luo's heart fluttered, as if he had spied some mystery, and finally he made a final decision, believing that Yan Sheng was too unreal, as beautiful as a peerless work carefully sketched out by countless masters, that's why his thoughts were confused at the moment.
Before going out, Wu Luo subconsciously turned around and asked, "Is there no equipment fee?"
"You can pay it if you want." Yan laughed shortly, but it's a pity that his face was downcast and he couldn't see his expression clearly.
Everyone didn't do any heavy work all day, they just walked around in the mountains. For many people, it didn't even count as physical exertion. After eating salt, they realized that they were less likely to be tired than usual. It's just that everyone is the same, so you can't see it for a while, but you can feel the difference immediately when you meet other tribes in the future.
Wu Luo only took the plant ash and the filtered grass frame, and prepared to start working overnight to make salt.
If you wait until tomorrow morning to start, you probably won't be able to go back to the tribe the day after tomorrow.
If you only need unedible coarse salt alone, you only need to scoop water to keep boiling it, without too much trouble.At this time, the conditions were indeed relatively simple. Uro could only guess based on the general content read in the book. Plant ash itself could produce potassium salt, but then brine—the ancients called this unrefined natural salt water brine Instead of salt, almost most of the brine will be reacted with plant ash, sun-dried into saline soil and then filtered and decocted.
Plant ash is insoluble. Although Uro doesn't know if this thing can volatilize anything that is harmful to the human body, it is more convenient to filter out impurities by adding plant ash.
What's more, Yan prepared a can of plant ash, it was impossible to use it as a snack.
In addition, Wu Luo deliberately asked everyone to leave a few baskets, filled with nearby stones with obvious salty taste and soil mixed with salt grains.
Some poorer places can’t afford salt, so a salt stone is prepared at home. When cooking soup, put it down and cook together. The soup will have a salty taste. Pick it up and put it away, and it can be used later.
Of course, the effect is not as good as eating salt directly, but it is better than bland.
Those who need to collect firewood pick up firewood, those who need to boil water boil water, and the one who travels the fastest is a woman named "Jie". The explosive power of time is almost unmatched by her.
Uro asked Jie to look around for clean water, and she quickly found a shallow and narrow stream.
In fact, there is already water in the brine, but after adding plant ash, it needs to be filtered several times. It is impossible to add brine to brine and filter again, so that there will be no effect.
Wu Luo dangled half a bottle of water, let everyone start a fire, and slowly stirred the salt, while he himself carefully guided the filtration process, some of which could not be filtered thoroughly, and waited for the sneaked plant ash to settle.Plant ash can stick to other impurities, making the slightly turbid liquid clear, as long as the salt water above is poured into clay pots and dried, the salt will slowly precipitate out.
This kind of salt is closer to the green salt that Yan left in the shed before, and it is better than coarse salt, but it takes a long way to get to fine salt.
Usually sea salt cannot be extracted so easily, and it will inevitably contain some toxicity, which is not good for human health. However, Uro has tasted this kind of salt before, and it does have a bitter taste, but it is not obvious, which means that even if it is toxic, it is basically not strong. .
After the second purification, the bitterness should disappear.
This place is really interesting, the purity is almost comparable to well salt.
Solutions, suspensions, emulsions...
Wu Luo's thoughts seemed to drift back to the laboratory classroom more than ten years ago. The teacher's kind and kind demeanor seemed to be still vivid in his memory, and during the actual operation of the oxygen production experiment, the idiot classmate tried to imitate it with potassium permanganate in the test tube. The scene of Li Bai "drinking to his heart's content"...
He still remembered that the teacher was cursing and swearing at the blackboard several times with the pointer. It made the language teacher cry.
"Come to me for a ghost lesson?"
You don't have to scold yourself like that.
Alas, if possible, it would be better to go back to the busy third year of high school again than to review the knowledge of junior high school here.
Yan Xiaowang turned his body slightly when Wu Luo and the others went out to work in full swing. As long as he could remember, he followed Yan to meet various people and experience various things.The child was raised by Yan to have a temper, he would eat meat if he wanted to eat meat, and would not move if he wanted to eat vegetables, but he was also very obedient.
Especially in danger.
After Yan Xiaowang grew up a bit, Yan didn't control him very much, and let him ride a horse to catch fish by himself, neither taught him nor praised him, and let him grow wildly and tenaciously like a weed.There are many people in the world, some will kindly give him food, some will hurt him with spears, sometimes Yan Xiaowang sleeps in the middle of the night, and will be woken up by the blood-stained spear in his dream.
But Yan has never been afraid of anyone, he seems to have always been like that, different from everyone else.
He is now afraid of the man outside.
"Father, I want to go home." Yan Xiaowang said weakly, he knew this trick was very useful, for example, when he didn't want to eat meat or vegetables, so he curled up in the hammock, like a soft lamb, a little pitiful.
It's not that Yan Xiaowang didn't dare to stay in the wild, he ran around with Yan Dong for a while, stayed in a tree and slept all night, when he woke up the next day, he saw a golden python coiled on his arm, he pulled it over and smashed it On the tree, smashed the python's head.
In the morning, I also ate grilled snake meat happily.
He simply followed his father and was afraid of Uro.
That's why Yan Xiaowang was very dissatisfied, but didn't say a word on the road.
In particular, the people in the tribe all had sullen faces. They looked like gray stone statues. The only Wuluo who spoke very smartly was a dangerous person. In addition, Chi, who had fought with the giant wolf before, could not recognize him at all. Yan Xiaowang felt a little wronged.
Yan just sat and asked him with a downcast face, "Don't you want to sleep?"
As soon as Yan Xiaowang heard that there was a door, he immediately jumped down, raised his head and chest, patted his chest triumphantly and said, "I slept well."
"Okay." Yan nodded, lifted him to the door, and said slowly, "Whatever you do, I'll rest for a while."
Yan is tall, and the whole hammock is filled when he lies on it. His long legs have no place to put them, and they are dangling on the thin ropes.
The father and son spoke in another language, Wu Luo heard it from outside, and thought it was like listening to an alien language, and then saw Yan Xiaowang lift the leaf curtain and come out, his small mouth was so pouted that he could hang a soy sauce bottle, but he didn’t cry.
Wu Luo looks cute at him. Most of the children in the tribe are precocious, and their emotions are not as obvious as Yan Xiaowang. It seems that he doesn't have to think about eating when he wakes up tomorrow. He only needs to carry his small schoolbag and think about how to deal with the teacher. up.
"Your father doesn't want you anymore?" Wu Luo squatted down to tease him, showing the face of a relative who hates dogs and hates the most likely to make children cry.
Yan Xiaowang didn't understand, but this didn't prevent him from ignoring Wu Luo.
Everyone was as diligent and conscientious as worker bees, wishing that one person could do the work of three people, doing their own things in an orderly manner under the command of Uro.
Yan Xiaowang held his face. He didn't often come into contact with such things. The tribe might be a memory for Yan, but for him it was an existence that he had never experienced.The people who came to exchange were purely for business, so they naturally wouldn't show the cohesion of the tribe. They were like tool people, each tribe only did a small part of the work, and slowly perfected the small building for Yan.
At three or four o'clock in the morning, Uro let everyone go to rest, and he poured the last filtered salt water into clay pots to boil.
"Go to sleep, you have to go back later."
In fact, they just came to see the way today. Uro just wanted to see if he could refine the salt and take the finished product back to meet the boss (leader).
Everyone was very obedient, and after staying up all night, seeing the dawn, they all spread out to find stones or the edge of the shed, and fell asleep by the fire.
As for Yan Xiaowang, he was already drooling from sleep.
Uro yawned. It's not that he wasn't sleepy, but he was used to staying up late, not to mention that there must be someone outside guarding him.In fact, I have been working regularly for so long, and occasionally staying up late still feels very exciting, as if I went back to the third year of high school with my sleepy eyes open and doing exercises hard, only to wake up in the morning and find that the Chinese answer was written on the math paper.
Fortunately, it is just boiled coarse salt at this moment, nothing else, so as not to get the point where sugar and salt are indistinguishable.
When the sky turned pale, Yan walked out of the shed. The morning wind was chilled to the bone, but the flat water in front of his eyes glowed softly, and the winding blue light was like a soft veil. The belt that Wushan Goddess accidentally lost when she untied Luo Shang.
"It's quite beautiful."
Wu Luo was sitting, the willow he used to scrape off the salt grains was still swaying gently at his fingertips, he looked back at Yan, with Xinghuo on his lips.
The cigarette had just been lit, and it was put under the clay pot, dipped in the light of the fire, and burned instantly.
The smell of tobacco is not mellow, Yan only feels choking.
He looked at Wu Luo with a sudden desire, which had nothing to do with love or hate, but purely chasing instinct.
This man is as precise as a machine. From his demeanor to his words and deeds, he is polite and personable. He can walk into the ball calmly with a tie on and hold a woman's hand and dance to a song.His soul is not trapped in this hopeless and desolate ancient world, with a graceful demeanor, everyone acts under his command, and enters a completely new era.
"I'm used to it."
Yan answered him without blinking.
The smoke obscured Uro's face, and he saw the other's inscrutable expression through the mist, and then reacted belatedly, and teased, "I didn't offend you, did I?"
Cigarettes are not a good thing, both of them knew it clearly, and neither of them opened their mouths.
Uro quickly put out the cigarette. In this age without coffee, he couldn't go into the mall to make himself a cup of refreshment. He really couldn't think of any better way except the cigarette in his pocket.
"Come here." Wu asked sincerely.
Yan stared at the man cautiously, and finally walked over slowly. They were close enough before, and the other person had a very faint smell of artificial fragrance, which was not annoying, but just confusing.
Just like me.
Yan vaguely felt that it was a kind of orchid fragrance, and mixed in mint and lemon, it smelled a bit clear, like the world after the first snow, with a bit of refreshing coolness, hiding a sense of distance that seemed to be absent.
"Did his mother die of dystocia?" Wu Luo asked, the salt water was slowly being boiled to thicken, bubbling out circles, stirring like shattered white mud, a bit cloudy gray.
Yan Xiaowang was lying on the grass and sleeping soundly. He stretched out his limbs, revealing his fleshy hands and feet. The big black horse occasionally came over and arched his head. Seeing that he was still moving, he left again to look for food.
But the giant wolf disappeared early in the morning.
The only tribe that Uro has experienced so far is obviously a matriarchal society. Those who are just eight days old up to 48 years old are basically under the control of the leader, and sometimes they are under his control, but most of the time they are more obedient. The leader's words.If Yan wanted to take his son away, it made no sense not to take his mother away. If a family of three went out, the tribe might not have conflicted with them.
He was really curious about what kind of grievances and hatreds it was, and whether it had anything to do with the nearby tribes. If even Yan couldn't save people, he had to be on guard first.
Yan Dandan said, "No, but he is indeed dead."
Uro glanced at him cautiously, and seeing that he didn't look very sad, he felt relieved and asked again, "Are you there?"
"Her death has nothing to do with me."
Yan glanced at him with a half-smile.
This answer is really intriguing. Uro was stunned, unable to figure out what it meant for a while.
It can be explained that he didn't kill Yan Xiaowang's mother, and it can also be explained that Yan Xiaowang's mother has nothing to do with him.
After all, how could anyone say that under normal circumstances? Could it be that Yan Xiaowang picked it up?
When primitive tribes were underdeveloped, lack of food was almost the norm. Even Chen said that when they migrated, they lacked food and had nothing to eat. They saved as much as they could. If they couldn’t, they would start killing their children to reduce the burden.
If that were the case, then the topic was clearly a minefield, not one to discuss on such a fine morning.
Uro blinked, and said slyly and tactfully, "No matter what, I'm still sorry."
Yan didn't expose his cleverness, just smiled, sat quietly and stared into the distance, and said after a while, "On the seventh day after the rainy season, someone will come to me to exchange things. If you want to find something you don't have, you can do it at that time." past."
"All day?"
"a few days."
Wu Luo lightly flicked the wicker in his hand, he raised his eyes to look at the dreamy face of the other party, the golden sunlight finally diffused from the place where the water and the sky lined up, and the watery soft light shone on Yan's body, making him It seems that Wu Luo needs to stop by to take a graduate-level rainbow fart course.
He stared at the browbones of the other party, feeling that there seemed to be a faint loneliness brewing there, which was not clear, and he couldn't wait to devour his master's joy and anger.
In the past, Wu Luo never understood why the actors in the old TV dramas always looked so beautiful, but the newer, better and more luxurious looks lost that charm.
Now he suddenly understood that he lacked a sense of time precipitation.
It's not that Yan looks old.
Many wild beasts have not yet come out in the spring, but this does not prevent the hunting team from reaping a lot. They even caught an 18-meter-long hooked snake and brought it back.
This kind of snake looks like a centipede. Its scales are extremely hard. It is fierce and aggressive by nature. It is non-toxic. It usually suffocates and bleeds its prey to death by entanglement. In addition to its huge size, it basically stares at it. Even the Roaring Beast I have to weigh whether I have to read the almanac when I go out today.But it also has a weakness. It is blind. It is different from the thermal imaging of snakes. The eyes are basically decorations, so it walks all by feeling. It is half a "plague god". Unlucky for myself.
However, the meat is very delicious, white and tender, and the outer shell is easy to fall off after being roasted, and it makes a crisp sound when broken. If it is not too dirty, it can be used as a dish after washing.
It was purely unlucky, it didn't have eyes to read the almanac, and was killed by a man from the tribe with a sling.
The children were so enthusiastic about the new rabbits that they almost drooled to show their welcome. The girls were more careful, and found that these two rabbits seemed to be very docile relatives, they would not kick or bite, so they touched them gently .Ulo knew that relying on these children was probably useless, so he enclosed a field in the open space, built a fence with wooden branches and stones casually, and asked the women to weave a soft and thick grass nest, and put the rabbit in it .
If they are kept in a hole, Uro is afraid that someone will crush them when they sleep at night.
The leader has great ideas about animal husbandry, but these two little rabbits are not enough for her to eat alone, so she is not very interested in it for the time being, and she is even less interested in farming, which has no benefits for the time being.When she woke up this morning, she felt restless, her chest was pounding, and her head was full of salt. If she could not change it, of course it would be better not to change it.
After all, things are the most reliable to control in your own hands.
"He hasn't come yet."
The leader jumped down from the tree house, let go of the rope in his hand, and asked worriedly, "Will he come or not?"
"will not."
The old god Wuluo said on the ground that he was thinking about what to exchange with Yan for better things, such as bows and arrows, and mounts, including the contact information of the tribe that can make linen and silk cloth.The things in the mall can be exchanged for anything, but how can he guarantee that Yan will not seek money and kill him, such things are uncertain.
If it doesn't work, let's see if I can persuade Yan to lend out his place and set up a night market or something, otherwise everyone will not be able to communicate with each other, and it will be inconvenient.
"Look, this will do."
Uro taught the children to play with knots, put them around the rabbit's neck and limbs, and tied it in a coquettish posture, which neither affected the movement nor ensured that it would never escape, except that the scene looked There is no big problem except that it cannot pass the trial.The two rabbits are full of vitality, dragging the new little owners around, and start to eat fresh plants as soon as they see them.
The children cheered happily, Ah Cai was smarter, took a stone knife and a basket, and ran after the two rabbits. If they were eating plants that humans could eat, they would drive them away and dig them by themselves. If the rabbits only ate grass leaves , she just watched the food and broadcast with her face in her hands.
Forcibly turned the two meat rabbits into lucky rabbits.
Uro never dreamed that there was such a way to play.
And when it was almost noon, Yan Ru, as he himself said, came slowly riding a giant wolf.
There was a horse behind him, and he was riding on the little devil's head.
"It seems that the big horned deer are going to graze today."
When Uro saw the beautiful neighbor, he couldn't help showing a smile on his face. After he communicated with the other party, he couldn't adapt to returning to the tribe, just like a newly repaired tape recorder played a song smoothly, I felt uncomfortable when the new tape suddenly jammed.
The leader looked at him suspiciously, not understanding why Wu smiled so brightly, as if he had picked up a dozen quilts on the ground.
Yan is not interested in their living conditions at all. As long as he knocks on the door and walks in, or even visits the cave as a guest, he will probably be able to see the flaws left by Wu Luo's being too soft-hearted. It may be difficult for others to understand, but Yan probably will soon Guess what's wrong with him, or rather, what's the advantage.
But Yan didn't come in, nor did he wear the coat that he was going to leave yesterday.
He changed into blue sackcloth, and looked extraordinarily cold and dangerous in the sun, but he just stood outside the wooden wall, waiting calmly with a moderate voice.
"I am coming."
They had been prepared for a long time, and they took the baskets and baskets and walked out the door easily.
Chi Wei stood majestically. Apart from fishing, he has recently become the captain of the patrol team. When the men are not around, he is the biggest.
Yan Xiaowang looked up at him, smiled brightly, and tried to reach out his hand to signal.
Ke Chi didn't know him, he just glanced at him indifferently, and then turned his eyes to the lush and lush forest, fearing the possible danger.
Now the two sides can only say that there is a trade relationship, but they are far from being an alliance. Not to mention that Chi can't recognize him, even if Chi recognizes Yan Xiaowang and welcomes him with full enthusiasm, Yan will not easily leave the child behind. in the tribe.
So Yan didn't say anything, just waited for the tribe to gather all the people, and then prepared to set off on the road.
"The road is a bit far, you are ready to come back the next day."
Before leaving, Yan made a reminder.
Because he didn't know whether it was a salt lake or a salt mine, Uro asked the people in the tribe to go out to find salt to bring clay pots and baskets. If it was a stone, they would smash it and bring it down; if it was a salt lake, they would set fire on the spot and burn the water. Dried into salt grains, and then filtered and purified after being brought back.Due to the long distance, the leader who originally wanted to follow had to let a woman who knew the way take his place. The tribe still relied heavily on her and could not leave too far away.
This time the road is far more rugged than yesterday. After all, after leaving the forest, Yan’s residence is a fairly open plain. Even a blind person can follow the sound of rushing water to find fireworks, and no matter how uneven the road on the plain , it is much better than the mountain road.
Wu Luo couldn't take it anymore after walking for three hours. Most people in the tribe didn't believe in Yan, so they just followed Wu Luo.
"Can you ride a horse?" Yan pondered for a moment and asked him.
"If you have a saddle, you can do it. Let's go to the racecourse for a few laps." Uro smiled bitterly, "I don't have the skills of a druid like you. I don't even have a saddle. I can't do anything if I want to use force. I’m really not afraid of running wildly and being knocked down.”
At the beginning, the horse was simply pulled back and forth by the jockey, but after getting used to it, and speeding up for a few laps, if the buttocks were not half-suspended, Ulo doubted that he could use it for an afternoon. Lost his mother's 30 years of hard work.
Of course, this kind of semi-suspension is not the same as the jockey's posture in the speed race. It's just that he doesn't sit firmly. It's a bit like the appearance of a bicycle accelerating when riding a mountain road, but the hips are lower than that.
Yan Pingping said, "The more stable you sit, the easier it is to control them."
He stretched out his hand, his eyes looked a little cold, "Come on."
"Can it bear it?" Wuluo looked at the giant wolf for a while, thinking that it must be able to bear it, and immediately stretched out his hand and grabbed Yan. The opponent's arm was like a piece of iron. Usually, he yanked it suddenly like this, sitting on the ground. The center of gravity of a high-ranking person would probably sway, but Yan Wen didn't move at all, as if the sorcerer was grasping an immovable tree,
With a slight lift of the other end, Uro suddenly jumped onto the back of the giant wolf.
He didn't even know how he got there.
Without the burden of Uro, the team immediately moved forward a lot faster.
"What's the name of that horse?" Uro didn't know where to put his feet. He was used to his legs sticking to the saddle and his feet stepping on stirrups. He was not so bold as to not take any protective measures.The two hands are at a loss, like the useless little claws of the Tyrannosaurus rex after evolution, it is not suitable to grab the person in front, and if you don't grab it, you are afraid that you will fall.
The soft long fur of the giant wolf rubbed against his lifted trousers, and his skin was pressed against it, and he could feel the heat and freshness of life.
It's still a little hot.
This long hair is really a bit stuffy.
"It's called Dahei." Yan answered him.
"Then... what about the big horned deer?"
Yan replied again, "It's called Qingwang."
Uro felt that the giant wolf was quite stable, at least he didn't fall off now, but without the saddle whip and rein in hand, it was unavoidable to be a little unsteady, so he had to divert his attention, so he couldn't help turning his head to look The little devil with a murderous look said in surprise, "Why is it the only one called Dahei?"
People in the tribe had learned Mandarin from Wu Luo, but Yan himself knew it. Yan Xiaowang, who had never learned it, was the only one in the audience who was stuck in a language barrier.
Obviously it was his family's wolf, his family's horse, and his old father, but now it seems to belong to someone else's family.
Anyway, Yan Xiaowang couldn't understand a word.
"Those two rabbits are out of ink when they are born, and I am out of ink when I am growing up." Yan's voice still sounded calm. If you don't know the content, just by looking at his demeanor, you may think it is talking What a serious business.
Uro almost laughed out loud.
"Sit down." Yan supported his leg, calmly, as if he didn't realize what he said, "If you move like that, it will throw you off."
Wu Luo hurriedly sat down obediently, he was not so honest in primary school.
The main reason is that the two of them were walking ahead. If they really fell, it would be a double stampede accident by the Majia people. Not to mention the people in the wilderness, even if they were in the tribe, they would end up paralyzed.
Traveling with Yan, Wu Luo really felt a little outing, mainly because the other party could pick up what he said, and he didn't need to spend time explaining and communicating.
But yesterday's happy green tea and music seemed a lot more sluggish. After all, the real Yama opened the way, and I saw it in my eyes, but I felt uncomfortable in my heart.
So they seemed to be crippled, unable to jump up again.
It wasn't until sunset that Yan led them out of the forest and came to an extremely open world. It looked like the sea, vast and vast like water and sky, with deep blue waves, and the sky and earth like a big bowl. The combination of blue and white and green is a stroke of glaze.
From a distance, it looks like a huge smooth mirror.
There is a bit of dampness in the air, and there is still a long way to go to the other side of the water. At this moment, there are not many plants on the road. Looking back at the woods behind, it seems like two worlds in a trance.And the ground is shining with light, it seems that the fish in the sky have lost their scales, and the stars are scattered in the world.
Uro knew that it was probably the salt that had been sun-dried.
The sun is slowing down, trying to give people the last ray of light.
Everyone lit the torches and waited for Wu's order.
"Is there any place to live here?" Uro asked.
"I have a place where I can make salt." Yan dutifully acted as a guide. He asked everyone to light torches and wandered in the wilderness in the dark and bright sky, as if he was not afraid of the possibility in the dark Dangerous, "Fire drives away wild beasts, but it also attracts them. You'd better stay together and not separate."
Ulo looked back and found that a horse and a person were missing behind him, so he said, "Where is your son?"
"He's more familiar with this place than you." Yan didn't care too much.
Sure enough, when everyone arrived at the place where Yan made salt, the child had already started a bonfire.
There is nothing to eat near the salt lake, and animals usually don’t come here. The salt here is too pure, and they prefer to go to some salty rocks or soil to replenish.
Fortunately, the leader prepared food in advance for the great cause of spring and planned to exchange it. Half of the food went into Yan's pocket to exchange for salt, and the other part was distributed to today's salt hunting team, so as to avoid hungry stomach growling at night dilemma.
The place where the salt is made is not big. There are some pottery, bonfires, and benches made of logs. It is barely a large wooden shed. When everyone squeezes together, a dozen or so people can barely fit in, but No one wanted to be with Yan, so they all went out to warm up.
While roasting his own jerky, Wu Luo asked Yan, "Why is there a salt lake here?"
In a sense, salt lakes are also called dead lakes. They are completely isolated. Under drought conditions, evaporation leads to salinization, which is the belonging and end of the life of water.
"I don't know, maybe it's not a salt lake, but a lagoon." Yan frowned, and said slowly, "I'm not sure, it's too widely distributed, and there's a small dead lake on the top of the hill from here, where there are a lot of dead lakes. The deer live there. I ran down here for a day and a night, but it became more and more desolate and more and more saline-alkali land, and I never went down again.”
Lagoon refers to the local sea area formed after being blocked by sandy beaches or rocks at the edge of the sea surface. For various reasons, the sediment accumulates into a natural lake, because the water flow will continue to come and go, and it will be brought The soil slowly accumulated, eventually separating the edge of the sea into a thoroughly soaked patch of land.
But because of this, the lagoon is not as stable as a salt lake, and its water quality will become salty or desalinated as conditions change.If there is plenty of rain, it will be easily desalinated into a freshwater lake, and if sediment from outside washes in, it may even turn into a swamp. The lifespan of this kind of lake itself is not long, and it will disappear without a trace in hundreds or even thousands of years.
However, if this is a lagoon, it means that if they go outside, it will be the sea.
"Did you give this place a name?" Uro asked.
Yan threw a piece of firewood into the fire, and he still remembered the stalk of the afternoon, and said slowly, "I'm out of ink."
Wu Luo smiled, and he said slowly, "Maybe we are in a certain corner of the tail now. The ancients are really romantic. The water in the world, the return of thousands of rivers, does not change in spring and autumn, and finally flows into the tail."
After sighing, he had to return to reality immediately. Wu Luo ate a mouthful of meat and asked, "Why did you guess it was a lagoon?"
The stability of the lagoon is not as high as that of the salt lake. He didn't want a reliable source of salt. After mining, one day he suddenly discovered that it had become a freshwater lake.
"The salt lake is mostly inland. I can't find the end. Either it is too big, or it can only be a lagoon."
Neither of them majored in geology, and Wu Luo was a temporary make-up class. As for Yan, he had too many secrets. Bow gives a chill.
"Forget it, worry about tomorrow, worry about tomorrow, this piece of land alone is probably enough for us to eat for ten years."
Wu Luo pressed his neck, and Yan Xiaowang had already climbed into his small hammock and fell asleep. The hammock was made of straw and wrapped around two main bones. Basically, he couldn't fall if the house didn't collapse.As long as the sleeping posture is not so bad that the sky is angry and people complain, basically you can sleep peacefully until tomorrow morning without accidents.
In the salt shed, there is still some residual salt that has dried up on the bottom of the pottery. The color is not as white as snow, but mixed with impurities, it looks like green salt.
Uro dipped a little, rubbed it on the tip of his tongue, savoring the taste carefully.
It's not very bitter, a little astringent, has a peculiar smell but is not heavy, of course it can't be as salty as refined salt, it is enough for daily use, it should be salt that has been purified once.
"Is it poisonous?" Uro asked him.
Yan was a little surprised, "You have tasted it all, and you still ask me?"
"This little salt won't kill you." Uro shrugged, flicked the salt grains on his fingers, glanced at the crude equipment on the ground, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I feel like I'm back to the experiment in junior high school In fact, I really liked this kind of class at that time.”
"It's hard to make refined salt, but you can't die. It's better than eating plant ash."
Plant ash can also extract salt, but it is potassium salt, which is not suitable for long-term consumption.
Yan lowered his eyes, as if closing his eyes to rest his mind, his eyelashes cast black shadows under the depiction of firelight, making him look much colder, and the vivid beauty when he talked to Wu Luo during the day seemed to dissipate in the air for a short time, only What remains is the strange and beautiful skin, which is gracefully attached to the firelight.
Wu Luo's heart fluttered, as if he had spied some mystery, and finally he made a final decision, believing that Yan Sheng was too unreal, as beautiful as a peerless work carefully sketched out by countless masters, that's why his thoughts were confused at the moment.
Before going out, Wu Luo subconsciously turned around and asked, "Is there no equipment fee?"
"You can pay it if you want." Yan laughed shortly, but it's a pity that his face was downcast and he couldn't see his expression clearly.
Everyone didn't do any heavy work all day, they just walked around in the mountains. For many people, it didn't even count as physical exertion. After eating salt, they realized that they were less likely to be tired than usual. It's just that everyone is the same, so you can't see it for a while, but you can feel the difference immediately when you meet other tribes in the future.
Wu Luo only took the plant ash and the filtered grass frame, and prepared to start working overnight to make salt.
If you wait until tomorrow morning to start, you probably won't be able to go back to the tribe the day after tomorrow.
If you only need unedible coarse salt alone, you only need to scoop water to keep boiling it, without too much trouble.At this time, the conditions were indeed relatively simple. Uro could only guess based on the general content read in the book. Plant ash itself could produce potassium salt, but then brine—the ancients called this unrefined natural salt water brine Instead of salt, almost most of the brine will be reacted with plant ash, sun-dried into saline soil and then filtered and decocted.
Plant ash is insoluble. Although Uro doesn't know if this thing can volatilize anything that is harmful to the human body, it is more convenient to filter out impurities by adding plant ash.
What's more, Yan prepared a can of plant ash, it was impossible to use it as a snack.
In addition, Wu Luo deliberately asked everyone to leave a few baskets, filled with nearby stones with obvious salty taste and soil mixed with salt grains.
Some poorer places can’t afford salt, so a salt stone is prepared at home. When cooking soup, put it down and cook together. The soup will have a salty taste. Pick it up and put it away, and it can be used later.
Of course, the effect is not as good as eating salt directly, but it is better than bland.
Those who need to collect firewood pick up firewood, those who need to boil water boil water, and the one who travels the fastest is a woman named "Jie". The explosive power of time is almost unmatched by her.
Uro asked Jie to look around for clean water, and she quickly found a shallow and narrow stream.
In fact, there is already water in the brine, but after adding plant ash, it needs to be filtered several times. It is impossible to add brine to brine and filter again, so that there will be no effect.
Wu Luo dangled half a bottle of water, let everyone start a fire, and slowly stirred the salt, while he himself carefully guided the filtration process, some of which could not be filtered thoroughly, and waited for the sneaked plant ash to settle.Plant ash can stick to other impurities, making the slightly turbid liquid clear, as long as the salt water above is poured into clay pots and dried, the salt will slowly precipitate out.
This kind of salt is closer to the green salt that Yan left in the shed before, and it is better than coarse salt, but it takes a long way to get to fine salt.
Usually sea salt cannot be extracted so easily, and it will inevitably contain some toxicity, which is not good for human health. However, Uro has tasted this kind of salt before, and it does have a bitter taste, but it is not obvious, which means that even if it is toxic, it is basically not strong. .
After the second purification, the bitterness should disappear.
This place is really interesting, the purity is almost comparable to well salt.
Solutions, suspensions, emulsions...
Wu Luo's thoughts seemed to drift back to the laboratory classroom more than ten years ago. The teacher's kind and kind demeanor seemed to be still vivid in his memory, and during the actual operation of the oxygen production experiment, the idiot classmate tried to imitate it with potassium permanganate in the test tube. The scene of Li Bai "drinking to his heart's content"...
He still remembered that the teacher was cursing and swearing at the blackboard several times with the pointer. It made the language teacher cry.
"Come to me for a ghost lesson?"
You don't have to scold yourself like that.
Alas, if possible, it would be better to go back to the busy third year of high school again than to review the knowledge of junior high school here.
Yan Xiaowang turned his body slightly when Wu Luo and the others went out to work in full swing. As long as he could remember, he followed Yan to meet various people and experience various things.The child was raised by Yan to have a temper, he would eat meat if he wanted to eat meat, and would not move if he wanted to eat vegetables, but he was also very obedient.
Especially in danger.
After Yan Xiaowang grew up a bit, Yan didn't control him very much, and let him ride a horse to catch fish by himself, neither taught him nor praised him, and let him grow wildly and tenaciously like a weed.There are many people in the world, some will kindly give him food, some will hurt him with spears, sometimes Yan Xiaowang sleeps in the middle of the night, and will be woken up by the blood-stained spear in his dream.
But Yan has never been afraid of anyone, he seems to have always been like that, different from everyone else.
He is now afraid of the man outside.
"Father, I want to go home." Yan Xiaowang said weakly, he knew this trick was very useful, for example, when he didn't want to eat meat or vegetables, so he curled up in the hammock, like a soft lamb, a little pitiful.
It's not that Yan Xiaowang didn't dare to stay in the wild, he ran around with Yan Dong for a while, stayed in a tree and slept all night, when he woke up the next day, he saw a golden python coiled on his arm, he pulled it over and smashed it On the tree, smashed the python's head.
In the morning, I also ate grilled snake meat happily.
He simply followed his father and was afraid of Uro.
That's why Yan Xiaowang was very dissatisfied, but didn't say a word on the road.
In particular, the people in the tribe all had sullen faces. They looked like gray stone statues. The only Wuluo who spoke very smartly was a dangerous person. In addition, Chi, who had fought with the giant wolf before, could not recognize him at all. Yan Xiaowang felt a little wronged.
Yan just sat and asked him with a downcast face, "Don't you want to sleep?"
As soon as Yan Xiaowang heard that there was a door, he immediately jumped down, raised his head and chest, patted his chest triumphantly and said, "I slept well."
"Okay." Yan nodded, lifted him to the door, and said slowly, "Whatever you do, I'll rest for a while."
Yan is tall, and the whole hammock is filled when he lies on it. His long legs have no place to put them, and they are dangling on the thin ropes.
The father and son spoke in another language, Wu Luo heard it from outside, and thought it was like listening to an alien language, and then saw Yan Xiaowang lift the leaf curtain and come out, his small mouth was so pouted that he could hang a soy sauce bottle, but he didn’t cry.
Wu Luo looks cute at him. Most of the children in the tribe are precocious, and their emotions are not as obvious as Yan Xiaowang. It seems that he doesn't have to think about eating when he wakes up tomorrow. He only needs to carry his small schoolbag and think about how to deal with the teacher. up.
"Your father doesn't want you anymore?" Wu Luo squatted down to tease him, showing the face of a relative who hates dogs and hates the most likely to make children cry.
Yan Xiaowang didn't understand, but this didn't prevent him from ignoring Wu Luo.
Everyone was as diligent and conscientious as worker bees, wishing that one person could do the work of three people, doing their own things in an orderly manner under the command of Uro.
Yan Xiaowang held his face. He didn't often come into contact with such things. The tribe might be a memory for Yan, but for him it was an existence that he had never experienced.The people who came to exchange were purely for business, so they naturally wouldn't show the cohesion of the tribe. They were like tool people, each tribe only did a small part of the work, and slowly perfected the small building for Yan.
At three or four o'clock in the morning, Uro let everyone go to rest, and he poured the last filtered salt water into clay pots to boil.
"Go to sleep, you have to go back later."
In fact, they just came to see the way today. Uro just wanted to see if he could refine the salt and take the finished product back to meet the boss (leader).
Everyone was very obedient, and after staying up all night, seeing the dawn, they all spread out to find stones or the edge of the shed, and fell asleep by the fire.
As for Yan Xiaowang, he was already drooling from sleep.
Uro yawned. It's not that he wasn't sleepy, but he was used to staying up late, not to mention that there must be someone outside guarding him.In fact, I have been working regularly for so long, and occasionally staying up late still feels very exciting, as if I went back to the third year of high school with my sleepy eyes open and doing exercises hard, only to wake up in the morning and find that the Chinese answer was written on the math paper.
Fortunately, it is just boiled coarse salt at this moment, nothing else, so as not to get the point where sugar and salt are indistinguishable.
When the sky turned pale, Yan walked out of the shed. The morning wind was chilled to the bone, but the flat water in front of his eyes glowed softly, and the winding blue light was like a soft veil. The belt that Wushan Goddess accidentally lost when she untied Luo Shang.
"It's quite beautiful."
Wu Luo was sitting, the willow he used to scrape off the salt grains was still swaying gently at his fingertips, he looked back at Yan, with Xinghuo on his lips.
The cigarette had just been lit, and it was put under the clay pot, dipped in the light of the fire, and burned instantly.
The smell of tobacco is not mellow, Yan only feels choking.
He looked at Wu Luo with a sudden desire, which had nothing to do with love or hate, but purely chasing instinct.
This man is as precise as a machine. From his demeanor to his words and deeds, he is polite and personable. He can walk into the ball calmly with a tie on and hold a woman's hand and dance to a song.His soul is not trapped in this hopeless and desolate ancient world, with a graceful demeanor, everyone acts under his command, and enters a completely new era.
"I'm used to it."
Yan answered him without blinking.
The smoke obscured Uro's face, and he saw the other's inscrutable expression through the mist, and then reacted belatedly, and teased, "I didn't offend you, did I?"
Cigarettes are not a good thing, both of them knew it clearly, and neither of them opened their mouths.
Uro quickly put out the cigarette. In this age without coffee, he couldn't go into the mall to make himself a cup of refreshment. He really couldn't think of any better way except the cigarette in his pocket.
"Come here." Wu asked sincerely.
Yan stared at the man cautiously, and finally walked over slowly. They were close enough before, and the other person had a very faint smell of artificial fragrance, which was not annoying, but just confusing.
Just like me.
Yan vaguely felt that it was a kind of orchid fragrance, and mixed in mint and lemon, it smelled a bit clear, like the world after the first snow, with a bit of refreshing coolness, hiding a sense of distance that seemed to be absent.
"Did his mother die of dystocia?" Wu Luo asked, the salt water was slowly being boiled to thicken, bubbling out circles, stirring like shattered white mud, a bit cloudy gray.
Yan Xiaowang was lying on the grass and sleeping soundly. He stretched out his limbs, revealing his fleshy hands and feet. The big black horse occasionally came over and arched his head. Seeing that he was still moving, he left again to look for food.
But the giant wolf disappeared early in the morning.
The only tribe that Uro has experienced so far is obviously a matriarchal society. Those who are just eight days old up to 48 years old are basically under the control of the leader, and sometimes they are under his control, but most of the time they are more obedient. The leader's words.If Yan wanted to take his son away, it made no sense not to take his mother away. If a family of three went out, the tribe might not have conflicted with them.
He was really curious about what kind of grievances and hatreds it was, and whether it had anything to do with the nearby tribes. If even Yan couldn't save people, he had to be on guard first.
Yan Dandan said, "No, but he is indeed dead."
Uro glanced at him cautiously, and seeing that he didn't look very sad, he felt relieved and asked again, "Are you there?"
"Her death has nothing to do with me."
Yan glanced at him with a half-smile.
This answer is really intriguing. Uro was stunned, unable to figure out what it meant for a while.
It can be explained that he didn't kill Yan Xiaowang's mother, and it can also be explained that Yan Xiaowang's mother has nothing to do with him.
After all, how could anyone say that under normal circumstances? Could it be that Yan Xiaowang picked it up?
When primitive tribes were underdeveloped, lack of food was almost the norm. Even Chen said that when they migrated, they lacked food and had nothing to eat. They saved as much as they could. If they couldn’t, they would start killing their children to reduce the burden.
If that were the case, then the topic was clearly a minefield, not one to discuss on such a fine morning.
Uro blinked, and said slyly and tactfully, "No matter what, I'm still sorry."
Yan didn't expose his cleverness, just smiled, sat quietly and stared into the distance, and said after a while, "On the seventh day after the rainy season, someone will come to me to exchange things. If you want to find something you don't have, you can do it at that time." past."
"All day?"
"a few days."
Wu Luo lightly flicked the wicker in his hand, he raised his eyes to look at the dreamy face of the other party, the golden sunlight finally diffused from the place where the water and the sky lined up, and the watery soft light shone on Yan's body, making him It seems that Wu Luo needs to stop by to take a graduate-level rainbow fart course.
He stared at the browbones of the other party, feeling that there seemed to be a faint loneliness brewing there, which was not clear, and he couldn't wait to devour his master's joy and anger.
In the past, Wu Luo never understood why the actors in the old TV dramas always looked so beautiful, but the newer, better and more luxurious looks lost that charm.
Now he suddenly understood that he lacked a sense of time precipitation.
It's not that Yan looks old.
