It is not easy to traverse the wilderness

Song Lai made lunch and brought it to An Ye, who was still working on the pillars for a new shack on the mountain in the northwest.A log with a diameter of about forty centimeters has been chopped for four days.From the second day after he came out of Xunfeng's house, An Ye went to catch a few fish in the morning, and then came to cut a tree in the afternoon, but the tree hadn't fallen down after three days.

An Ye said in the morning that the tree was about to fall today, and if he didn't come back at noon, he would go to the mountain directly.Let Song Lai not have to wait for him to eat.Song Lai did not remember An Ye's return until he had finished cooking at noon.In the whole tribe, only An Ye's family eats lunch.Although fish is plentiful now, eating only fish will make you weak, so men still go hunting in the morning, come back in the afternoon, and have dinner in the evening.

Only An Ye couldn't bear to leave Song Lai alone at home, he always hunted in the morning and accompanied Song Lai or fished in the afternoon, or taught others how to fish in the tribe.In a short time, he led Rich and the others to run around.

When Song Lai passed by, he brought a small stone pot with him, intending to make some hot soup for An Ye.

Still far away, I heard the sound of clicking, clicking, chopping wood, and walked in the direction of the sound.An Ye didn't know that Song Lai was coming to deliver food to him.Only where the trees are seriously cut down.When Song Lai was about to arrive, he suddenly found that the sound of chopping wood had disappeared!

Song Lai stood where he was, not daring to move.Although there are no ferocious beasts on this northwest mountain, who knows when a passing beast will appear.There was still no sound for a long time, so Song Lai called "An" loudly, and there was a rustling sound behind him. Song Lai turned around and saw An Ye walking out behind him.

When did An Ye run behind him? Just now he heard the voice clearly in front of him.Seeing that Song Lai had come, An Ye was very happy, took Song Lai's hand and walked forward.

He stopped in front of a big tree. The roots of that tree had been cut in half, and it was estimated that it was about to fall down.An Ye pulled Song Lai and sat down beside the tree, and took the straw bag from Song Lai's body, which contained fried fish pieces.Pick up a piece and put it in your mouth.Not to mention the recent arrangement by Song Lai to eat at noon every day, but it turns out that he will be a little hungry at noon.

Song Lai walked to a smaller tree and stood still, picked up a stone on the ground and drew a line above his head, then looked away.Hey, why haven't I grown taller yet? Obviously, An Ye has already grown taller than when he first came here.Why don't you grow up to that.

Song Lai put the pot aside, thinking that there was water here, but there was no~!Mountain forest in the northwest direction.Song Lai hasn't been here yet, and it still belongs to the tribe. Generally, there are no large beasts or anything.Song Lai decided to walk around to see if there was anything to eat, or if he was lucky, he could find something tasty.

"Don't go too far, and be careful over there. There is a strange place where nothing grows, but there are always antelopes and other things passing by, and sometimes there are wild beasts hunting there, so you don't go there. "An Ye pointed to a direction and said to Song Lai.Song Lai has never been an obedient person.He agreed with his mouth, then walked away, and when An Ye was out of sight, he walked in that direction.

The trees got shorter and shorter as they walked, and a small puddle appeared in front of them after passing through a clump of bushes?There is only about two meters of barrenness around, and the water's edge is slightly white under the sunlight.

Song Lai felt that his whole body was numb, it couldn't be what he thought, it was really like that.Maybe it's what I thought.Song Lai floated over, grabbed a handful of soil by the lake, and then stuck out his tongue to add it.Salty!A little bitter.

Song Lai felt like fireworks were blooming in front of his eyes.The whole person brightened up. "An~~" Song Lai yelled loudly, "Ann, come here, come here soon, come here soon, Ann."

Hearing the sound, An Ye ran over quickly, rushed to Song Lai's side and looked around, and when he saw that there were no animals, he turned to look at Song Lai, put his hand on Song Lai's shoulder, and looked at him carefully, "Ann put my Bring the pot, I also need wood, wood for the fire, Ann, we have good food, Ann, we have salt. Ann, I am almost in tears."

An Ye looked at Song Lai inexplicably, Song Lai was holding a handful of soil in his hand, what is salt.Although An Ye didn't understand, he knew that Song Lai told him to get the pot, so he turned around and went back to get the pot. Song Lai started to pick up branches, quickly built a firepit, and lit the bonfire with an amplifier. After finishing all this, An Ye came over with the pot. Song Lai instructed An Ye to fill the pot in the puddle, and then asked him to continue picking branches.

The water in the stone pot boiled in no time.The water in the boiling stone pot decreased little by little, and finally turned into a layer of white flowers. Song Lai carefully scraped off this layer, then put it on a stone, dipped his finger in it and put it in his mouth , bitter and astringent, but still tastes salty.Looks like it needs to be filtered.

Song Lai boiled a pot of water dry, then found a bigger leaf nearby, wrapped the salt on the leaf, handed it to An Ye and told him to remember the location, and when he returned home, Song Lai immediately started preparing dinner.It was still fried fish steak and fish ball soup, but the salted dinner made Song Lai eat a lot more, and finally the taste tasted in his mouth. Although it was still a bit bitter, it was really much fresher.

Seeing that Song Lai ate a lot more for dinner, An Ye was also very happy, so he thought about getting some of that white powder the next day, "Tomorrow I will go chop wood with you, so you can go and cut down that tree and put The branches are all pruned, so I will continue to get salt. Don’t you think the food with salt is more delicious?” “It has a strange taste, and the people in the tribe don’t eat this kind of taste.” Song Lai felt that what An Ye said The strange taste should be the bitterness that has not been filtered out in the salt.

The next morning, An Ye continued to cut trees, while Song Lai started to make the things needed for the afternoon at home, charcoal, sand, a wooden bucket made of wood and straw rope, and the filter was almost ready, but he was alone. Only a filter is missing.

Song Lai dug out the bathrobe that he brought over when he crossed. There were not many clothes left. This was the only one of the two that Song Lai brought over. The two sleeves are spread in a bucket and then charcoal is placed, sand is placed on top of the charcoal and a layer of cloth from the bathrobe is placed.compacted.

In the afternoon, An Ye began to bring many small branches to the back of the shack. After lunch, Song Lai followed An Ye to remove some of the small branches of the tree that An Ye had brought down. Cut it off, then took it back and put it outside the shack.Song Lai brought the pot again, put all the sand with white particles on the edge of the puddle into the stone pot, and then kept stirring the water in the hard puddle, and then put it aside to settle, and waited until When you want to go home at night, pour the settled water into another pot, then continue to put the soil in the pot and stir it, where it will settle, and then two people will put the pot that needs to settle into a hidden pot. place, take the sinking water back home.Pour it into a bucket with a filter layer, and put the pot just filled with water under the bucket.

Then it was already dark when the pot was placed on the firepit.Song Lai started to make salt so hard, and after three full months of work, Song Lai felt that the salt he made should be enough to eat.

At the same time, Song Lai also found that the people in the tribe are really good at learning. They don't have bathrobes, but they weave a soft cloth-like straw mat from the grass and put it in the filter. top and bottom of .

Oss found that the white powder called salt that An Ye gave him not only made the soup more delicious when put into the soup, but also improved the physique of the tribal people. big.So I asked An Ye to teach everyone how to make salt.

When everyone started to make salt, Oss found Song Lai, "You were already very big when you were abandoned by your family. Children as old as you have already started hunting with adults in our tribe. But obviously you want A little thinner than the children of the tribe, your tribe should be a big and rich tribe. Because the hairless people have been abandoned by the tribe and tribe since the day they were born in ancient times, and your parents raised you to such a big age, and It is very rare to be tolerated by the tribe. And I have always suspected that you were lost by your tribe, not abandoned. When you were found, the animal skin on your body was the whitest I have ever seen , the softest hide. I have never seen such an animal. It is simply a rare treasure, and the abandoned people should not have such treasures."

Song Lai rolled his eyes, young master, I was just thrown away, I was thrown directly from the hotel bed to this wild place.

"Is this white salt common in your tribe?"

"It's quite common. People in our area need to eat this food. Without salt, there is no strength. People in our area can't eat meat every day. Even if they eat meat, they need salt."

"Oh, it looks like this. Does your tribe also make salt by themselves?"

"Of course not, there are special people who will get it, we just need to exchange with them."

On the third day, the patriarch and Oss appointed special people to make salt, and then distributed it to everyone for free.

Song Lai discovered that it might be because of his age that Oss always thinks more and has more tricky angles.There is a big shack in the tribe, just next to the Aos shack, where the salt distributed every day is stored.

Song Lai found that Oss is a very powerful old man, he can always grasp the essence and key of things.And always accept new things very quickly.It is simply unimaginable that he is just a human being who has not yet fully evolved.Maybe these people are much smarter than Song Lai thought.
