The canyon soon became dark, and the surrounding mountains fell into confusion.
There were wild beasts roaring and roaring far and near.
The cold wind howled and rolled up the tidal forest waves, rolling like thunder in the night.
Eat meat, drink porridge, and chat and laugh lively around the campfire.
The hunters of the three tribes sat around each other, feeling the temperature and light of the bonfire. They were all so excited that they couldn't control themselves. Most people's eyes would unknowingly fall on them when they were eating, drinking, talking and laughing.
Xu Chen was guarded by a group of Ba hunters next to the campfire.
It is said that even great wizards must respect and obey this magical young man.
At the beginning, a group of Yugong tribe hunters felt that it was extremely unreal, like a dream. However, the Mongolian people who only heard about it yesterday, although they were very cautious and respectful to the arrival of Xu Chen and others, it was only because
He led the powerful hunters to conquer the Yugong clan and captured the great shaman. He only felt a sense of fear in his heart.
Respect is out of the question, the main thing is fear.
But after Xu Chen led his men to kill the savage tribe that was preparing for a sneak attack, while he was grateful to Xu Chen, he felt even more afraid of his powerful force.
Until Xu Chen lit the bonfire with a wooden stick out of thin air, this fear and fear suddenly turned into a deep awe, and Xu Chen suddenly felt a kind of pressure similar to that of a god in their hearts.
It is no longer simply awe, but also the urge to worship.
"Wow wow wow~~"
Amid the conversation and laughter, the wails of a group of savage children were particularly harsh in the dim night.
Xu Chen looked at the bones scattered around the campfire and some skeletons left on the wooden frame. He thought for a moment and ordered a group of Mongolians to take all the bones and throw them to a group of indigenous savages.
Now everyone has almost eaten. There is still some meat on the leftover bones and skeletons, which can barely satisfy the hunger of these savages. It is impossible to eat full. This kind of meat boiled in salt water or roasted has a significantly better taste.
It was so delicious that a group of people ate it so much that they wanted to swallow their ceramic bowls and fingers.
Although Xu Chen's arrangement was not understood by everyone, no one objected. A group of Mongolian people stood up, picked up the skeleton hanging on the wooden frame and the bones on the ground and threw them into a group of indigenous savages.
There was a burst of violent screaming and looting.
After these savages grabbed it, they began to chew hard. If there was meat, they would eat the meat, and if there was no meat, they would gnaw on the bones.
For them, any cooked food cooked on the barbecue is an extremely rare delicacy, and they can only eat it once in several years.
And this kind of salted and barbecued bones makes people want to bite into the bones and swallow them.
The night is getting darker and darker, and a full moon hangs in the dark sky, and the cold moonlight reflects the vast virgin forest.
The world is lonely, and only the bonfire is burning, bringing a touch of the warmth and agility of human civilization to this world.
The mood of the indigenous savages who finished chewing the meat bones completely calmed down.
Apart from occasionally hearing a few groans of pain, there was no longer the restless mood of roaring and screaming in anger all the time.
It was freezing cold, and Xu Chen was afraid that all the savages would be frozen to death when they woke up early tomorrow morning, so he had people use torches to drive all the savages into the cave to rest, and then asked Feng to discuss arrangements with a group of Mongolian hunters to arrange the night watch.
He wrapped himself in an animal skin, lay down in the withered grass by the campfire and fell asleep.
While away from home, he gradually began to get used to this living condition of no fixed abode.
Sleeping with clothes on has gradually become a habit.
The spaciousness and comfort of the Ba people's compound seemed to be getting farther and farther away, and he began to like this adventurous life in a strange environment in primitive times.
Only when you go out will you experience constant surprises and gains.
It had only been half a month since he set off from the Ba tribe, and the distance traveled was only about three hundred miles, but the harvest was so great that he was a little surprised.
He conquered the Maotun and Yugong tribes one after another and regained a new tribal alliance. While expanding the territory and population, he also found salt.
Just from discovering the salt mine, this trip was actually a great harvest, far exceeding his expectations.
It would be great if we could still find tin ore this time!
Xu Chen even began to visit Shu.
But everything is possible, what if you are really lucky?
After all, he is a species that will travel through time even if he dies.
This night of sleeping peacefully, Xu Chen had a beautiful dream. He dreamed of many naked beauties with big breasts, long legs and fair skin. There was also a splendid and luxurious palace. He was lying on the warm bed of the palace with a group of beauties.
Rolling and playing, you touch me, I touch you...
"Your Majesty the Witch King, it's time to go to court!"
A vixen-like young woman kept rubbing against him. Her face was vaguely familiar, like a little female savage cousin or twin little witches. Then she suddenly woke up with a startle. She opened her eyes and found that it was already bright. At the same time, she saw a picture in front of her.
The familiar and honest black face was Gu. At the same time, he felt that there was a thigh pressing on him. When he turned around, he saw that it was Li.
The two dogs and the savage hugged him tightly, cheek to cheek, sleeping very sweetly.
Damn it!
Xu Chen quickly pushed the two guys away and then got up.
"Chen Ga, Mo Xi Ga Ga, please tell me a little longer!"
The two of them rubbed their eyes sleepily, sat up and yawned, with expressions of unfinished content on their faces.
"Why do you all sleep here with me?" Xu Chen asked with a dark face.
"You said you were cold in the middle of the night, so you made us sleep together!" Gu explained with a simple and honest face.
Xu Chen:……
…
A new day has arrived and the weather is still sunny.
Most of the hunters had already gotten up, and some were wandering around on patrol. The Mongolians, who were landowners, were the most excited. Some began to add firewood to the campfire, and some went to shout out the indigenous savages sleeping in the caves.
A group of Ba hunters are cleaning clay pots and pots to fill with water for cooking porridge.
After Xu Chen peed, washed his face and rinsed his mouth, Feng led two teams of hunters back from the upper reaches, carrying two goats that were still bleeding.
"Chen Ga, there are so many wild beasts in the woods over there!"
Far away from the wind, I was excitedly pointing in the direction of the salt bittern area and shouting loudly.
Xu Chen naturally knew the reason, but he didn't ask in detail. Instead, he called a group of leaders over to discuss today's arrangements.
Now that the salt mine has been found, subsequent development is the biggest problem.
Although this place is not far from the Mongols, the environment is harsh and the terrain is complex, so we must think of a stable strategy.
In addition, as the main salt producing area in the future, it certainly cannot be left to the Mongols to handle. Reasonable planning and overall arrangements are also needed.
However, before planning and making arrangements, it is still necessary to excavate the salt brine area to see if there is any possibility of digging out a salt spring.
It takes ten days and a half to go back and forth to this barren mountain. It is impossible for him to come back in a short time. Follow-up work needs to be arranged in advance so that the Mongolian people can enter the initial development stage step by step.
Another trouble is that to boil salt on a large scale, a large number of pots are needed. The only ones we have brought are some earthenware pots and pots for cooking on the road. Even if we leave them all, it will not help. We need to arrange for people to go back.
More large pottery was fired and shipped over.
Of course, the best thing is naturally a large iron pot, but now we only have copper, but it is not easy to make a large copper pot. Without charcoal and coal, it is difficult to heat it to the state of melting and casting.
After all, we still need to find tin ore first to lower the melting point of copper.
Xu Chen was very depressed.
The progress of industrial civilization cannot be achieved in one step. All links and steps are indispensable.
If that doesn't work, then the only option is to use the most primitive natural sun salt method.
Xu Chen thought about it and finally felt that only this oldest and most primitive method was the simplest, but it only required a lot of time and manpower.
The entire Mongolian tribe only has a few dozen people, so they definitely can't squeeze out too many people to make salt.
The best way is to let their entire family move to this place. I wonder if they are willing?
But no matter what, now that the salt mine has been found, there will definitely be no problem in getting the salt out. The only problem is the size of the output.
The two goats were quickly disemboweled.
Some hunters no longer needed Xu Chen's guidance, so they went to get some salt frost, added stream water, stirred it, filtered it, and got two cans of salt water to cook the mutton.
Taking advantage of the cooking time, Xu Chen led a group of hunters to the salt brine area again to observe, and asked people to try to dig deeper with wooden sticks and spears at the location dug yesterday.
Unfortunately, after digging a large pit nearly one meter deep, no salt water appeared underneath, so Xu Chen had to give up and go back to have breakfast.
Today a group of indigenous savages, men, women and children behaved more quietly than last night.
However, two more people died last night because they were too seriously injured.
This made a group of indigenous savages feel very depressed.
Although many of their eyes were still full of anger and hatred, when they saw Xu Chen, they all lay on the ground in fear and did not dare to raise their heads.
Xu Chen's miraculous ability to drill wood to make fire yesterday made these indigenous savages feel a kind of fear and awe from the bottom of their hearts, and they began to equate him with the gods.
Looking at the indigenous savages lying all over the ground, Xu Chen suddenly felt that these savages were not ignorant and completely unable to communicate.
Many times, the reason why communication cannot be achieved is because the two parties have not found effective channels and methods.
In the past, these indigenous savages and the Mongolians had been sworn enemies for generations. Coupled with the different populations and habits, this resulted in irreconcilable conflicts between the two groups.
The long-term hatred has been accumulating, making the two tribes not want to communicate at all, and they only want to kill each other.
But the current situation is different.
He led his own people to join this fight. The third party's force put the native savages at a complete disadvantage. There was no chance for them to resist now. If they couldn't see through this situation at all, they would really have no choice but to die.
Ants are greedy for life, but monkeys know how to escape even if they can't defeat them.
He did not believe that after one night, these savages who had begun to take on the characteristics of human civilization were completely unaware of the outcome they were about to face.
In addition, the attitude of these native savages has changed a lot compared to yesterday. At least they have begun to know fear and awe.
And this makes communication possible.
Just like the British and French colonized Africa and the Spanish colonized the Americas.
When the colonists first broke into the Americas, their huge ships and sharp firearms and cannons once made the Native Americans think that they were gods, which then triggered fanatical worship. However, it was not until the colonists started the killing mode that the illusion in the hearts of the Native Americans was broken.
Start to resist.
The same is true in Africa. British and French colonists appeared in ships and planes. Some local tribes thought they were gods and even made a model of an airplane out of branches and grass to worship.
Yesterday's success in drilling wood to make fire seemed to have had an unprecedented cognitive impact on these indigenous savages. It also brought an aura of magical effect to themselves, creating a state of incomparable fear and awe.
