After five days of busy work, the firewood they brought had run out, so Su Yao and Zhong Li returned to the tribe with the warriors, the herd of bulls and the herd of wildebeest.

There is nearly 3 catties of coarse salt, and each wildebeest can take away more than [-] catties of coarse salt with a load of [-] catties. The wild cattle, like the wildebeest, carried a total of [-] catties of coarse salt. The rest will be resolved by the soldiers.

The weight of more than 400 catties is relatively light for a bull. Although it is a little uncomfortable for a wildebeest carrying a heavy load for the first time, it gradually becomes less uncomfortable after two days under the comfort of Su Yao's spiritual power. Revolt again.

The endurance of the white-hoofed wildebeest is obviously beyond Su Yao's imagination. Compared with the big wildebeest's lower body, they are more suitable for carrying weight and walking in the mountains, and their reaction to heavy objects is not as strong as the big wildebeest.

The people and the wildebeest and the bulls were very strenuous all the way up and down the mountain, but the spirit of the soldiers was more excited than the last time they came. It was already early summer, and it would be time for the tribal gathering soon.

At this time of the previous year, the people of the Huangping tribe were busy hunting and accumulating food, in order to exchange some coarse salt when the tribe gathered.

But this year they have so much salt themselves, and they no longer have to look at other people's faces and be constrained by other tribes. How can this make them unhappy?

The nights in early summer seem to be a bit brighter than in spring. They hurry up at night and sleep during the hottest time of day, so that they don't feel tired after turning day and night, but they are full of energy.

What they don't know is that Su Yao has added a lot of spiritual power to the water they drink every day, so as not to cause them physical problems.

After turning over the last hill, you can see dozens of houses built on the plain at the foot of the hill from a distance, and a flat road extends out on the plain, connecting the direction of the tribe.

Su Yao waved the flag in his hand and said in a loud voice: "Everyone, work harder. When you go down the mountain, you will arrive at the camp built by the tribe. The priest and the people from the tribe will meet us there."

"Understood, Master Angel!" Chu Shan shouted first, and the others also responded imposingly.

The team leaders took the lead and led the team to the foot of the mountain.

It was difficult to go down the mountain, but it took a short time, and the people stationed at the station also shouted to greet the people on the mountain.

"I've seen Lord Envoy of God" "Master Zhongli"

Everyone first saluted the two people respectfully, and then rushed to their relatives and friends in the team.

"I miss us so much!"

"You didn't know that your partner was pregnant with twins."

"Your brother has found a mate"

"Tell me now!"

Another excitement after a reunion, with the joy of a good harvest for both parties.

Leaning on crutches, the priest looked at the soldiers celebrating together. He stroked his beard and smiled wrinkled his face.

A group of big men, shirtless and wearing cotton loose trousers, hugged each other and beat their chests and touched their shoulders. Su Yao looked at some hot eyes, and simply went to talk to the priest:

"Grandpa Priest, what kind of treasure did you eat, why did your hair turn black?"

The priest glanced at Su Yao, and his back straightened unconsciously, but his tone of voice was cold: "Can you not know what I ate? Didn't you give me that stuff?"

The priest still remembered that Su Yao hurriedly called him to the room before leaving, and then handed him a bowl of water, which was red and exuded a fragrance.

The priest thought it was some kind of magical sugar water made by Su Yao again, but after taking a big sip from the bowl, he realized that the taste was not right.

A hot breath rushed down his throat, but due to his trust in Su Yao, the priest drank all of it.

As a result, when he got up the next day, his body changed miraculously. The witch power that hadn't grown for a long time suddenly passed the barrier that he could vaguely feel, and his hair also turned black. He felt that he would not be able to live for a few years. gone too.

Why didn't the priest know that what Su Yao gave him to drink was an extremely precious fetish, but when he realized that Su Yao had already set off, he couldn't find anyone to confide in, so he had to lead the tribe's warriors to fight Su Yao gave him the job.

It's just that I've been thinking about it all the time, afraid that it's something extremely precious, and it's useless for him to eat it when he's old.

Now that Su Yao came back and took the initiative to provoke this topic, the priest is about to explode.

Su Yao chuckled: "It seems that Grandpa Priest is really old and strong, so I don't have to worry that Grandpa Priest will leave and no one will help me with work."

The priest was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at Su Yao's words, but when he thought of the meaning of the bastard's words, he turned off his fire again: "You gave such a good thing to me, an old man, what will you and Zhongli do?"

Su Yao waved his hand casually: "If I can give you a copy, it means I still have it in my hand, so don't worry about it."

The priest had no choice but to point to the newly built house and said: "It was built according to the style you gave me, and the people who are honest and talkative are all used. Come and see with me?"

"Okay!" Su Yao readily agreed, and by the way called Zhong Li who had just dealt with the horses.

Several rows of blue-brick and large tile-roofed houses are juxtaposed together, and various secret passages have been built underground.

This garrison point is actually the secret base that Su Yao intends to use to refine salt, and it is also one of the trump cards in the tribe in the future.

In the middle is a large-scale fine salt refining place, all the equipment has been built, and the surrounding supporting firewood room, water room and storage room are all according to Su Yao's plan.

There are also large scales for weighing salt and containers of uniform specifications, which are placed in sealed underground storage rooms that are protected from light, and are sealed by special mechanisms.

"It only takes one night to ride a wildebeest from here to the tribe, and it is convenient to take care of what happens." Su Yao told the priest about his plan.

"Leave [-] catties of this batch of coarse salt for refining here, and I will ask Chu Shan to supervise here. The rest will be transported to the tribe, and we will discuss how to distribute it at that time."

"That's good." The priest tapped the crutch in his hand: "The tribe is living a better life now, the less they know, the better, otherwise who knows that if they get greedy, they will cause a lot of trouble."

The priest has lived for a long time, and there are some words that cannot be understood without Su Yao's clear words.

Su Yao nodded: I guess the sweet potatoes and potatoes in the field should be harvested, the priest will go back with us tomorrow, and leave it to Chu Shan. "

"Okay, that kid from Chushan can still be relied on." The priest replied.

Zhongli's expression remained unchanged, but Su Yao looked at Zhongli and showed a slightly weird smile. Zhongli didn't think so.

For Zhongli, Chu Shan would be a good subordinate, but definitely not someone he could trust unconditionally.There is only one condition that can make Zhong Li feel at ease and Chu Shan stay here: contract.

As early as the night when they set off for the second time to the valley where the salt was refined, Zhong Li called Qing Shui and Chu Shan out to have a secret conversation for half an hour. After returning, the two had the imprint of the contract on their bodies.

Su Yao would not take the initiative to ask Zhongli's plan, he knew that Zhongli's sense of proportion was enough.

The mighty bulls and wildebeest herds were walking on the flat road that had been opened up. The surrounding wild honey fruits were at their peak ripeness, and the air exuded a sweet fruity fragrance.

Taking a break in the afternoon, Su Yao and Zhong Li went stealthily to an inaccessible place and used their spiritual power to sweep up many wild honey fruits. There were ten buckets in waist-high buckets.

Wild honey fruit, like modern mulberry berries, can be used to make wine, and Su Yao has made wine koji according to the records in the book.

Picking all the way, it took nearly three days to return to the tribe slowly. The wild honey fruit is not afraid of being spoiled if it is kept fresh in the space.

When passing by the paddy field, I saw that the rice seedlings had changed and started to grow wildly. Many people were bending over to pull weeds in the paddy field.

"Master God made you say that the grass in the field will rob the crops of nutrients. We will remember these words." The simple and honest boy touched his head and smiled:

"After the grass grew in the paddy fields, Captain Suya and Captain Dashan specially assigned slaves to pull weeds in the paddy fields. Up to now, all the paddy fields have been pulled out once."

"So that's the case." Su Yao waved his hand generously: "Everyone is worried, the tribe belongs to all of us, and the salt brought back this time will be shared with everyone, and it will be regarded as a reward for everyone's hard work."

The reward of salt made the boy open his mouth so happily that he pulled the cart a little faster.

It was dark and entered the tribe. Before the salt was put away and refining started, the soldiers were preparing to eat, and there was a commotion outside the tribe.

Su Yao and Zhong Li went out with him, just in time to meet the oncoming Su Ya.

"Mystery, it's the wild pigs from the mountain that came down again, probably because the sweet potatoes in the ground taste so good. Those wild pigs have been running into the ground recently, and if they don't pay attention, they will dig out a few sweet potatoes. "

"The stone has already led the soldiers to drive them away, but unfortunately the wild pig has learned to be cunning now, and ran away when it saw the soldiers drive them into the field."

Su Ya recounted what happened just now, like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, and then added: "The tent in the field has been set up, and the soldiers have been guarding it day and night since the day before yesterday."

The wild pigs are big and eat amazingly. If they are ignored and allowed to plan food in the field, the pigs can return several acres of land within one night.

"I see, your arrangement is very good." Su Yao said with a smile: "Anyway, I have nothing to do, I just happened to go to the field to have a look."

The potatoes and sweet potatoes planted in late winter are almost three months old now.According to the growth cycle of potatoes, it should be time to harvest.

Sure enough, several tents were set up on the edge of the ground, and soldiers with iron bows and long arrows were wandering around the edge of the ground.

There are still purple and white flowers hanging on the potato vines in the field, and some of them have already produced finger-sized blue fruits.Potatoes sprout from roots, but the fruit they produce also has seeds.

I looked at several fields in a row, and the potato flowers were still in full bloom in the cooler places, while most of the potato flowers had faded in the sunny and warm places with sufficient water sources, and the vines and leaves were showing a tendency to wither and turn yellow.

"Ah Yao, how's it going?" Zhong Li had never seen the description of ripe potatoes in ancient books, so he didn't know if these potatoes were ripe or not.

"It's almost there." Su Yao casually pulled out a potato vine with withered leaves and darker color. He used a lot of strength, reckoning that this potato seedling should be able to grow a lot of big potatoes.

Unexpectedly, the largest potato vine made Su Yao dumbfounded, and saw only a potato the size of a boy's fist protruding from the root.
