Because drying salt is too hard, some people don't go there, and they can just exchange food materials for other people's salt.

Therefore, most of the people who go to dry the salt are the tribes who live a relatively ordinary life.

Originally, Jiao Ge also thought that it would be better to exchange salt with others, but this would be too eye-catching, and secondly, ordinary prey could not exchange much salt, and they used salt to exchange a lot of special materials, which was what they were short of.

They used up several knives to make clothes, and this time they plan to exchange some sharp weapons with salt.

The day before departure, the two packed the dried meat they ate, various tools, and medicinal powder made from spider glands into their backpacks.

The next day, the two of them set off with the main force. The backpack was just right for Jiao Ge to carry on his shoulders.

The leader in the front is the patriarch, they follow at the end of the team, this time the wind is not coming, there are a few familiar faces in the team, but they are all nodding acquaintances, so that's good, it can be regarded as a second for them. people world.

Jiao Ge was wearing spider silk stockings and new shoes, and walking was much more comfortable than before. He and Ye Senlei were wearing the big leaves that shaded the sun, and the journey that was difficult before became easier.

At noon, the sun was already scorching people's heads, and finally arrived at the rest place. Everyone was sweating profusely and panting heavily.

Because of the annual fixed salt drying activities, there are also fixed rest points, and each rest point has a large or small water source.

Almost everyone took off their clothes and splashed water on their bodies to cool down.

Jiao Ge was no exception, he grabbed the corner of the clothes with both hands and pulled it up, and took off the spider silk clothes inside. The spider silk clothes were hidden in the straw clothes outside and were not exposed.

Jiao Ge finally recovered after being drenched in water. The temperature of the underground spring water is very low, and the cooling effect is particularly good.

Ye Senlei touched Jiao Ge's icy skin, but his heart couldn't help but look around, everyone except him was splashing water to cool down.

Seeing this, Ye Senlei didn't hesitate, and made a gesture to take off his clothes, but Jiao Ge stopped him.

Jiao Ge is extremely contradictory, but he really can't stand Ye Senlei being naked in front of others.

Ye Senlei was already hot and irritable, but Jiao Ge's obvious exclusive attitude completely pissed him off, "Go away! I'm not your property! I can do whatever I like!" After finishing speaking, he slapped Jiao Ge away He forcibly took off his clothes.

Both of them sat sideways, sitting alone under a tree, and the others were busy cooling down, so no one noticed their side.

Jiao Ge tightly hugged Ye Senlei to prevent him from going out, and eagerly persuaded him: "I'll fetch water and wipe it for you, you...you really can't go out like this!"

Ye Senlei looked down at himself, and was immediately discouraged. His skin was originally fair, but now there are some imaginative marks on his body, all of which are Jiao Ge's usual "masterpieces".

Seeing that Ye Senlei's attitude had softened, Jiao Ge put his clothes on immediately, and ran to fill a jar of water for Ye Senlei to cool off.

During the break, Jiao Ge kept fanning Ye Senlei with a big leaf.

Ye Senlei's small temper was also calmed down by Jiao Ge's series of actions. He leaned on Jiao Ge and closed his eyes to rest for a while, and the group had to start on the road again.

As we walked forward, there were fewer and fewer trees. Without shade, Ye Senlei was already dizzy from the sun. The others all had crystal nuclei, and their bodies had developed a second time, so their physical fitness was much better than that of him and Jiao Ge.

Ye Senlei couldn't imagine how Jiao Ge, as a half-grown child, could go hiking with a group of adults to dry salt.

He turned his head to look at Jiao Ge, and he could see that Jiao Ge was already hot and tired, but his speed did not drop at all, and he kept a certain distance from the large troops in front of him.

Jiao Ge found that Ye Senlei was exhausted, so he squatted down and carried Ye Senlei on his back without saying a word. Ye Senlei's cheeks were flushed from the sun, and his head was sunk on Jiao Ge's neck. He wanted to struggle to walk on his own, but he couldn't keep up. The person in front was already tall and had big steps. After accelerating on foot, he found it difficult to follow.

Jiao Ge tilted his head and kissed Ye Senlei on the cheek, then followed him sullenly.

Ye Senlei was a little surprised. The people in front were so tired that they gradually slowed down, but Jiao Ge was still able to move forward at a constant speed with his back on his back. While feeling distressed, he couldn't help sighing, Jiao Ge's stamina was simply terrifying.

Ye Senlei leaned on Jiao Ge's back to fan the two of them, and by the way began to observe the surrounding environment.

The landform here is very strange, obviously the first half is still a dense bush, but now it has turned into a semi-desert land, with a few short shrubs scattered on the dry sandy soil.

The ground was scorching hot, and the sun was on the head. People were like staying in a steamer. Ye Senlei would come down for a walk when he was rested, and let Jiao Ge carry it on his back when he was tired, so their speed has not dropped, even surpassed some exhausted people.

After there were more people around, they gradually began to chat.

"Jiao Ge, you're really good. You didn't have a second development and you're behind your back. You can go so far. It's really not because of your physical strength?" Several people talked and started talking about dirty jokes again.

Ye Senlei hurriedly lay on Jiao Ge's back and pretended to be asleep. This group of people didn't mean anything malicious, they just talked nonsense, and their partner didn't come out, so they pulled Jiao Ge to make fun of him.

Jiao Ge is not shy at all, although he doesn't talk about his own affairs, he listens to other people's affairs with great interest, and occasionally asks a few questions, which makes Ye Senlei pinch the flesh on his arm hard.

The group of people walked for two days and two nights, and finally arrived at the salt lake. There were many flat stones on the lakeside of the salt lake, because the lake water was evaporated by the sun, and a thin layer of salt frost had formed on it.

The patriarch Yanjiu is a taciturn man. He heard from Jiao Ge that he is over 100 years old and is about to enter old age, but he does not look old in appearance. It is said that Yanjiu's crystal nucleus is full of energy, so his life span is much longer than others.

This was the last time he brought his clansmen to dry the salt, and a new patriarch would be elected next year, so several patriarch candidates did not participate this time in order to avoid suspicion.

Everyone, except Ye Senlei, is a skilled salt worker, and started working with tools without the arrangement of the patriarch.

Jiao Ge's salt field is not very big, and he has slowly expanded it since he first came here.

A lot of salt crystals have precipitated at the bottom of the salt pan. Jiao Ge is in charge of scooping up the salt in the water, and Ye Senlei spreads the salt evenly on the stone slabs on the bank to dry.

Except for Ye Senlei and Jiao Ge, everyone else came out to work alone. At this time, I was a little envious of their male-male matching.

A group of people have been busy until night, and they ate them all when they brought them at home. Before that, they could hunt in the woods. There are few wild animals here, and the weather is hot. Only at night, some animals that hid during the day will come out to look for them. Food.

Soon a target appeared, a giant iguana with a light brown body dotted with uniformly sized black patches, giving it an ugly appearance.

The iguana's small eyes rotate 360 ​​degrees to observe, but it has dynamic vision and is blind to stationary objects, so the people in the tribe remain motionless, hold their breath, and wait for the opportunity quietly.

Waiting for the giant iguana to get very close, Yan Jiu erupted instantly and pierced the iguana's eyeball with a knife, and the others immediately rushed forward, ending the life of the iguana one by one.

Here, the food is shared. This iguana is very big. Although it can't eat enough, it can be regarded as a pad for the stomach.

There are many dilapidated and shabby small sheds on the side of the salt lake, all left over from the past few years, and everyone is not particular about it. After dinner, they find the ones they built before to live in.

Ye Senlei had already expected how harsh the environment would be, so he didn't feel pretentious after entering the shed, and lay down after finding a place.

Jiao Ge leaned halfway to fan Ye Senlei to cool down and drive away flying insects.

This season is when all kinds of mosquitoes are rampant, and the insects here are even more vicious, and a bite is a big bag. Before departure, the patriarch distributed insect repellent powder to everyone, which was specially made by offering sacrifices to Yanwu.

The deworming effect of the insect repellent powder is still good, but after all, there are still too many insects here, and it is inevitable that there will be fish that slip through the net.

In the first half of the night, many mosquitoes were repelled by Jiao Ge, and it was only in the second half of the night that I fell asleep in a daze.

In the next few days, everyone still worked hard, and no one was lazy. After the salt was brought back, except for some of it to be handed over to the tribe, the rest was their own.

After a few days of observation, Ye Senlei found that the patriarch Yan Jiu is a leader who can endure hardships, and he also goes forward when hunting. Unlike offering sacrifices to Yan Wu, he does not have the arrogance of a superior.

People in the tribe love and respect Yan Jiu, but they also lack awe.

Yan Jiu was reticent, and Ye Senlei couldn't talk to him, but he still admired Yan Jiu in his heart. As the patriarch, Yan Jiu did everything by himself. This kind of character made Ye Senlei feel ashamed.

The sun was too strong, and the salt dried up quickly. On the last day, everyone took out the big animal skin bag they brought and began to pack the salt.

The salt bag full of salt is half the height of a person, and Jiao Ge has filled several bags, and the total amount is no less than others.

Jiao Ge looked at Ye Senlei with some shame: "Sen, let me try to get the salt behind your back, I'm still a little weak."

Jiao Ge didn't get enough sleep at night and worked hard during the day, and he lost a lot of weight. What he asked Ye Senlei to do was light work, so Ye Senlei didn't change much except that he was a little darker.

How could Ye Senlei be so inhumane, he touched Jiao Ge's black and thin face and said, "Okay, I'll go back by myself, my strength has recovered, so don't worry about it."

Jiao Ge still feels that he is incompetent, if only he could become stronger.

When we went back, everyone was exhausted physically, and Ye Senlei, who was well rested, was finally able to keep up with the pace of the team.

Considering the need to support his family, Jiao Ge got a lot more salt this time than before. Ye Senlei had counted the missing items in the house before, and Jiao Ge remembered them all, and planned to exchange them for salt this time.

No matter how hard Jiao Ge worked, he was still an ordinary person. After carrying the salt bag for a day, his hands shook so much that he couldn't even hold the meat after eating at night.

Not only Jiao Ge, but other people are also obviously exhausted. The weather has been unusually hot these days, and everyone is a little weak after excessive water loss.

But also because of this, the group didn't dare to stay outside for too long, even the rest time was shortened.

On the way, they ran into a herd of small beasts. Yan Jiu stood in front of everyone, and was bitten by the beast's teeth with a very long wound.

Fortunately, Ye Senlei had prepared the medicine powder in advance, and the medicine powder was very effective in stopping the bleeding, so he finally returned home without any danger.
