Chapter 8 Winter
The sound of running footsteps is getting closer and closer. Zizi's five senses have become much sharper since she cultivated blood qi. She gently put down the porcelain pot, turned around and took out the stone spear, calling for her companions. Suo and Shimao stood ready.
Seeing the person coming, Zi Chang breathed a sigh of relief, and waved his hand to signal everyone not to attack.
I'm back, I'm back!
It turned out that the three Lu people had returned, and they threw away the animal skins wrapped around them, revealing the blue salt and snow-white alkali inside.
Why did it take you so long to come back?
Zi Zi breathed a sigh of relief, and asked with some concern.
The deer showed a sunny smile, stepped forward and said, We ran all the way back, and we were dying of thirst. Let me drink first.
Zi frowned slightly, and snorted softly. Tao took out a few rough porcelain bowls that had just been made, scooped up the hot water that had just been boiled, and handed them to the deer.
The deer didn't notice the difference, so he drank sharply, scalded his mouth, and coughed it all up.
Why is it so hot, it scalds me to death!
There was a wicked smile on the corner of Zi's mouth, and he said in a cold voice: This is hot water, the will of the invisible king, we will all drink hot water from now on!
The deer frowned, bared its teeth and drank it.
It's too hot, it's too hot.
Zi turned her head away, held back her smile and said, You can wait for the water to cool before drinking it, and you can also drink cold boiled water.
Lu looked at the crowd who were holding back their laughter, caught Duan and rubbed his hair vigorously, then said:
I went to my tribe at first, but they didn't have much salt and no alkali. Then I gave me a leg of lamb, and he told me that Bribor had salt and alkali, so we went to Bribor.
The lake is really big, very big, I heard from the local tribe that the seaside is even bigger, it's unbelievable...
Listening to Lu's words, Zi gradually understood the situation, and Ace followed suit.
There is a natural salt well in the north of Bribor, which is very large and the quality of the salt is very high. The nearby tribes all get salt from there. The salt is controlled by the most powerful tribe, the Kamu tribe. After paying three legs of lamb, the three deer were allowed to Collect salt.
Later, for some reason, the deer got acquainted with the people of the Kamu tribe, and exchanged a package of salt for a package of alkali, and successfully completed the task of Zi's confession.
The Kamu tribe is really powerful. They say there are thousands of people. You must not know what thousands of people are, that is, a hundred deer tribes!
They don't live in caves, they live in a place called a house, which is a man-made cave! But it's not as humid as the cave, and they don't wear animal skins, but something called cloth, which is very, very different.
By the way, they also have pottery, but it's not as pretty as ours.
At night, all the members of the deer tribe gather around the fire and listen to the deer's stories.
Constantly listening to the news of the deer,
Unwillingness and longing flashed across his eyes: Lu, is the Kamu tribe really so powerful?
The deer nodded and said, We are indeed much weaker than the Kamu tribe, and in their words, they are civilized.
Civilization? Duan frowned, seemingly unable to understand.
Do they believe in the invisible king? Zi suddenly asked.
No, they believe in the King of the Harvest, replied the deer.
Everyone fell into silence, and Liang Jiuzi said: We believe in the real gods. Under the protection of the invisible king, our future will not be bad! Now, let's make the bacon and dried fruit first.
In the blink of an eye, three months have passed, midsummer has passed, and late autumn is coming.
Pieces of bacon were hung to dry at the entrance of the cave, and Zi Zi stewed a cylinder of bacon over fire, overflowing with aroma.
Okay, put this vat of bacon aside and let it cool down. Let's seal up the bacon that has cooled down after the vat was stewed just now.
According to Zi's instructions, the two tribesmen spread turpentine on the edge of the porcelain vat, wrapped it with clean animal skins dried by fire, and tied a rope to fix it closed.
An original version of the oversized can of bacon was born.
One after another, a sealed jar of bacon and a sealed jar of dried fruit have been prepared. There are a total of forty jars, of which thirty jars are bacon and ten jars are dried fruit.
We spend the winter, and ten tanks of bacon are enough. Why do we have to hunt desperately and prepare so much?
A clansman asked the deer a little puzzled.
Duan Ze's eyes were already shining, and he rushed to say: Because the wild union meeting will be held in another month, if we have enough food, we can exchange the population from other tribes that lack food!
The deer stuffed the bacon into small clay pots, sealed them and threw them into oversized clay pots to cook. Tao fired more than 300 small pots, which happened to be used to make small pots.
It's true. If our tribe wants to develop, we must have a population. Every winter, the tribes around here will be forced to drive out the elderly, even the young, because of lack of food. If we have enough food and powerful hunters, we can At the wild joint conference, enough population will be exchanged for next spring's development!
The deer's eyes sparkled, and his whole body was filled with vitality, and the vitality in his body actually boiled with his high-pitched emotions when he spoke.
Deer, carry out the transport method immediately!
Zi Zi noticed the abnormality of the deer and reminded her in time.
The deer was running the blood food transport method according to a fixed posture, and gradually felt the full vitality continuously gathered, and finally turned into a cavity of blood in the chest cavity.
The second blood practitioner, the second warrior in this pocket world was born!
Because of the abundance of food, the entire tribe of thirty-five people began to practice the method of carrying blood food. One month later, the first snow fell.
Zi frowned, chewing on the bacon, the grilled bacon was very delicious, but Zi's brows were still furrowed.
What's the matter, Luzi? I don't think your expression is right.
The deer came over and asked with concern.
Do you feel it? The vitality provided by bacon is far less than that of fresh meat and blood.
Zi pushed back her long black hair and told Lu about her worries.
But the deer smiled and said softly:
You're worried about this, I found out too, but if you think about it the other way around, we couldn't get enough to eat in previous winters, we had bacon, berries, hot water and bacon soup, isn't it already Is it very, very good?
After hearing what the deer said, Zi nodded, then shook her head and said, That's good, but it's difficult to produce new fighters just by relying on this kind of weak bacon.
After hearing this, the deer squatted down and said to Zi seriously:
Don't be impatient, we both refine blood energy, relying on the two of us this winter is enough to fight against other ferocious beasts and even nearby tribes, as long as it is not a giant beast, we will not be in danger.
When we exchange enough population with other tribes to survive the winter, we can eat fresh prey full of vitality, and with the guidance of the invisible king, we are destined to become stronger and stronger.
