Travel through prehistory with a commissary

The old priest led people to repair the filter pool last night, and even burned it with firewood this morning.

The filter pool is placed on a shelf made of bamboo, which is a bit higher than the ground.It looks like a square pool at first glance, but in fact the bottom of the pool is quite fine. It has a slight slope from left to right, so that when water is poured from the left, it will flow to the right by itself.

In addition, the two sides of the pool are slightly higher, and the middle is lower, so the middle of the right side of the pool is a low point. When the plug here is pulled out, the filtered water can flow smoothly from the prepared bamboo pipe.

Yu Xin asked people to put the plug on first, then fetched the charcoal that was burnt yesterday, and spread all the charcoal in the pool.

Someone from the Hao family couldn't understand it, and Ming asked first: "Aren't we going to filter it?" He was serious about not mispronouncing the newly learned word, although he didn't quite understand its meaning.

"Charcoal has the effect of absorbing particles in water, and can filter water. After being filtered by charcoal, the water will be safe." Yu Xin said.

He instructed people to use water bladders made of animal bladders to transport the precipitated salt water little by little and pour them into the filter tank.This operation has already skimmed most of the soil. After the water flows through the charcoal and the remaining harmful impurities are absorbed by the charcoal, it should be safe.

When all the salt water in the big clay pot was poured into the filter tank, Yu Xin asked them to pour out the soil in the pot, wash it, and then move it over to fill the filtered salt water.The earthenware pot he asked them to make was still hanging out, and it would take two days before it could be used.

The entire filtration process was extremely quiet, and everyone kept their eyes fixed on the small bamboo tube protruding from the right side of the filter pool. It connected the inside and outside of the filter pool, and the filtered water flowed out along it and fell into the large pottery pot.

"It really became clearer, it's amazing." The old priest sighed.

After the filtration, the process is simple. Yu Xin asked them to turn on the fire. As long as the water evaporates, they can get the salt.

After leaving the fire watchers behind, the hunting team and gathering team set off one after another to start today's work.

Everyone was not very attentive when collecting, and from time to time someone talked about the salt water being boiled in the tribe.

Less than fifty paces to the west of the bamboo forest, Leopard and his people quietly hid behind the bushes.

They are hunters from the east.

The tribe of nomads has no fixed territory, they move around chasing their prey.Last night, they broke into Youhao's territory.

They had rich experience, and they could easily escape the eyes of the Youhao clan, which is currently in short supply of fighters, and sneak in.

From the sea in the east to the Taiyan clan to the east of Youhao clan, a dozen tribes, large and small, used to be a prosperous salt trading road. Their ancestors of the Baoqiu clan have been active on this road for generations. Transported salt between tribes for a living.

Three months ago, they exchanged salt for a lot of animal skins and bacon in a tribe. After staying for a few days, they planned to go back to the east, exchange animal skins for more salt, and then go west for other supplies.

But before they left, the ferocious saber-toothed tiger broke into the tribe where they were temporarily staying, biting and killing.

Those saber-toothed tigers could understand human orders, and driven by a group of warriors, they attacked that tribe.The Leopard Qiu family hunted all the year round and was more vigilant. They escaped before being completely surrounded, but they were also killed by the saber-toothed tiger.

They didn't know the warrior commanding the saber-toothed tiger, but as long as they saw the saber-toothed tiger, it must be related to the temple.

Everyone in the world knows that the temple has domesticated ferocious saber-toothed tigers, and their warriors know how to drive these creatures, which is why they are so powerful.

On the way to escape, he also saw some people from other tribes, some fled to other places, and some joined the leopard tribe.One of them was named Bei, and he said that he escaped from the easternmost Hailangshi.

Leopard has heard of Hailang, they are the source of salt, and the salt that Leopard and the others got was originally from Hailang.

The man from the Hailang clan told Leopard that the Hailang clan in the east had been conquered by the temple, and they could not exchange the salt with other people, but only handed it to the temple, and then the temple distributed it to the tribes who listened to them.

Salt is gone.

Leopard and his people did not want to belong to the temple, so they trekked west and found this small tribe hidden in the dense forest.

The people of the small tribe cut down a lot of bamboos, picked the fruits growing on them, and then left.

Another soldier beside Leopard said in a low voice: "Boss, they said to cook salt just now, but they also know how to make salt?"

"Perhaps they are also the tribe of the temple." Bei of the Hailang clan had joined them, he said.

Leopard didn't speak.

The temple is approaching menacingly, and no one knows whether this tribe belongs to them or not.

Even if it wasn't, the Baoqiu clan had no supplies to exchange.Several members of their tribe were already weakened by lack of salt, and if the little tribe could make salt, they had to find a way to get some.

"Stay where you are and wait for the sun to set." Leopard ordered in a low voice.

Yu Xin took people back after cutting the bamboo, and brought bamboo fruit, water and firewood.

As soon as she entered the tribe, someone ran out quickly, even Mian, who was holding the child, also ran out. She said excitedly: "Xin, the water is boiled dry, and the salt is out!"

"Is there any salt?"

"Is there really salt? That's great!"

The people in the collection team were all boiling. They didn't care to put down their things, and they all rushed in and surrounded the pot of boiling salt.

"let me see."

"Don't squeeze."

"I haven't seen it yet, let me see."

There is only such a big place around the pot, and a bunch of people are crowded around, wanting to see it first.

Ming bent down and nimbly slipped in between the adults' legs, then climbed onto the big pottery pot and shouted, "It's really salt! Xin, salt!"

When Yu Xin came over, everyone consciously gave way.

At the bottom of the cauldron, there was indeed some white salt. Yu Xin reached into it and stuck a few grains, which were salty and slightly bitter. "It's salt." Yu Xin said.

His sound was like cold water dripping into hot oil, and the crowd around him burst into cheers in an instant. Yu Xin was lifted up again and thrown into the sky several times. When he lost his head, he was put down by the enthusiastic people of Youhao.

I don't know who it was, but gave him a big bear hug.

Ming Qingliang said: "Xin, you are too good, we really made salt!"

The other clansmen next to him also praised it.

The old priest also rushed over. The moment he saw Yan, he burst into tears, knelt on the ground and thanked God eight hundred times, and then praised Yu Xin eight hundred times.

Finally, he picked up the charcoal sticks on the ground, rushed towards the big cave, and said while rushing: "I want to draw it, I must draw the deeds of Lord God Envoy, so that the descendants and grandchildren of the tribe will all know it." Come and admire his greatness!"

While shouting, the old priest had already disappeared into the big cave.

Because the salt was finally made, the atmosphere in the tribe was very lively that night.Shuo's hunting team did not come back, but Chi and Ding brought back a lot of prey. At night, everyone ate around the campfire, talking and laughing.

The members of Yu Xin's collection team basically made bone needles, and he taught them to sew things without stopping.

The deer's ligaments are precious, so Yu Xin didn't let them use them, and asked them to use small pieces of skin and grass cores to practice first.Yu Xin brought his bone needles, deer ligaments, tortoise shells, and a piece of cowhide. He drew several designs on the ground with branches, and then repeatedly made gestures on the cowhide. Finally, he commanded the field to use a stone knife. Cut cowhide.

Why not cut it yourself?Because he is too weak to cut.

After cutting, Yu Xin began to sew with bone needles and ligaments. He had practiced beforehand and sewed smoothly.After all, it is not surprising that the owner of the small store who is bored has done needlework when he was bored.

Ming ran over and rubbed against him, asking him, "What are you doing?"

Yu Xin said: "I want to make a heart mirror, no, a heart shell."

Ming was ignorant and didn't quite understand. He was restless. He watched Yu Xin sew for a while, and then went to watch other members of the collection team practice their needlework.

The structure of Yu Xin's heart protection mirror is not difficult. There is a belt around the waist, and then a wide shoulder belt is made from the right waist to the left shoulder. The turtle shell covered with cloth is sewn on the shoulder belt. Just the left ventricle.

Although he can heal, it is better not to get hurt, so he wants to try this thing.

The process of making the heart protection shell is not difficult. Yu Xin made it that night, and after finishing it, he put it on and tried it on himself.

As soon as he put it on, there was a jingle in his ear suddenly, Yu Xin was puzzled, but the people around didn't seem to hear it.

Suddenly, he closed his eyes and turned on the system.

Sure enough, it's the system.

The system that originally only had three compartments has three more compartments, and each compartment is locked with chains crossed like the priest's chalk in the past.

There are two words under the first new product: Vegetable Market.

food market?

So it's not a commissary anymore?

It also comes with an update!

Yu Xin was excited and couldn't wait to watch the next two.The remaining two are Bookstore and Mystery Store.

bookstore?The bookstore is good, maybe you can read useful books.

The mystery shop is very mysterious, you don't know what will be sold.

Because they were locked with chains, Yu Xin speculated that they, like chalk, also had the task of unlocking.

Yu Xin clicked each with his mind, and saw the unlocking tasks of the three grids.

The task of the food market is called "Sacred Spring", the task of the bookstore is called "Extracting Teeth from the Tiger's Mouth", and the task of the mystery shop is called "Secret of the Pyramid".

The system only gave the task name, and Yu Xin was at a loss after reading it.

Could it be that he is going to pull out a tiger's tooth, dig a fountain out, and finally find a pyramid (maybe a temple) and find out the secrets inside?

Yu Xin felt that maybe he explained the "secret of the pyramid" correctly.

But the temple has bronze vessels, and there are a bunch of tribes that support them. Now he leads a small tribe of more than 50 people who don't even have enough salt. What can he use to dig out the secrets of the temple?

It is more important to live a few more years.

"team leader."

When Yu Xin was thinking about the task, an old voice called him.

Grandpa Mu came to the entrance of his cave with a dignified expression.

Grandpa Mu said: "Captain, it's too quiet outside, and Ming went out to pee and hasn't come back."
