As dusk gradually fell, in the cave of the Green Tribe, following the inscrutable words of the leader of the Green Tribe, the people of the Green Tribe couldn't help but cheer in wonder when they heard that they would soon have salt to eat.
They were excited about, and even admired, the intelligence of their tribal leader.
Seeing everyone's reaction, the leader of the green tribe calmly accepted many compliments and admiring looks, and became very proud.
He was also proud of his clever approach.
It is so rare and admirable that I can always think of such good ways to solve problems!
That night, after receiving the assurance from the leader that they would be able to exchange for salt in a short time, most of the people in the Green Tribe slept peacefully.
There are also some who toss and turn and can't sleep, such as the leader of the green tribe.
It's not that I'm worried about anything, but I'm excited about the salt I'm about to have.
At dawn the next day, the leader of the Green Tribe led the tribe members who had also woken up early out of the cave and headed towards the place where weeds grew near the tribe.
"##4￥%!"
In summer mornings, it's easy to get a little misty.
When this thin mist meets the leaves of the plants, it slowly gathers into tiny dewdrops, and then along the grass blades that grow diagonally upward, it gathers all the way to the intersection of the leaves and stems of the plants. After overflowing, it flows along the
The stems flowed all the way down, soaking a small area of land and moistening the broken roots.
At this time, it is far from the time when the sun comes out. In addition, when the leader of the Green Tribe acted like this yesterday, the sun was not very strong. Therefore, these seedlings that have been devastated by "pushing the seedlings to encourage growth" are still weak and have nothing.
Half weak.
The leader of the Green Tribe was not the only one who often came over to look at the weeds during this period. Now when everyone came over to take a look, they found that just as the leader said, these weeds had suddenly grown so much taller.
Everyone couldn't help but cheer and once again looked at the leader with reverence.
The leader of the green tribe accepted this as a matter of course, stayed here for a while, and began to lead people back to the cave. After eating the food, he took the strong ones who often hunted and left the cave to hunt.
The rest of the people were digging some wild vegetables around the tribe or collecting some wild fruits as they did in the past.
The sun emerged from the other side of the mountain and soon showed its due power. The air that originally seemed cool became hot and hot in a short time.
A somewhat thin primitive woman returned from the outside with some freshly dug wild vegetables wrapped in animal skins. She was not walking as vigorously as before. Through the mouths of the smarter people in the tribe, she understood that this was because she had not eaten salt.
for the sake of.
The exchange of weeds for salt touches the hearts of everyone in the Green Tribe, and this primitive woman is no exception.
She didn't need to pass the area where the weeds grew when she returned to the cave, but she still went around it.
Even though she knew that even after being touched by the leader's magical hands, it would be impossible for these weeds to produce spikes so quickly, she still couldn't help but want to take a look.
"%3#@?"
After the primitive woman came here with a good mood, she glanced at it and was stunned.
When I went to see it with the leader in the morning, the weeds that were still growing very vigorously turned out to be dejected and wilted, looking half-dead.
The female primitive looked at the big sun in the sky, and then at the other grasses that were growing very energetic around the weeds. She stood here in a daze for a while, and finally couldn't help shouting loudly, with panic in her voice...
The sun was setting in the west, and in the scorching summer weather, the leader of the green tribe returned with his hunting party. The harvest was not big, just enough to eat for one day.
However, no one was feeling depressed, because it would not be long before they could trade weeds for salt.
There is no need to spend any extra food, which makes them feel relaxed.
"￥%￥?"
The leader of the green tribe who was walking at the front looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little dazed and alert.
This place is still a certain distance away from the tribe's cave. In the past, the people who stayed behind in the tribe would not come here to greet them, but now they appear like this.
Looking at the people running towards them in a hurry, he had an ominous premonition.
Could it be that the tribe was attacked by some wild beast? Or was it someone from another tribe?
With this thought in his mind, he tightened his grip on the weapon in his hand, and with other members of the tribe who also realized something was wrong and gripped their weapons to take precautions, he quickened his pace and headed towards the visitor.
"%#%5!"
From a certain distance, he asked aloud what happened.
But those people who looked extremely anxious did not answer, but kept running towards them, which made the leader of the Green Tribe feel even more unsure.
“￥*&%……?”
The leader of the green tribe, who learned about the matter from the stranger, was stunned on the spot and asked in disbelief.
After staying here for a while, he pushed aside the people in front of him and ran towards the place where the weeds grew.
Some of the Green Tribe people who roughly understood what was going on had already followed the leader's footsteps and ran away, while others were just sitting here in a daze.
What are the people who stayed behind talking nonsense? The weeds were still growing well when they looked at them in the morning...
“￥%*@#……”
The leader of the Green Tribe said feebly without knowing the meaning of his words.
Looking at this almost dead weed that was extremely important to their tribe, his eyes were a little blurry and he felt a little dizzy.
These weeds are so good, why are they dying?
After muttering to himself for a while, he finally sat down on the ground.
The other green tribe people following around also looked particularly uneasy and helpless.
Tonight, the cave where the Green Tribe lives seems particularly quiet. An unspeakable depressing atmosphere permeates the cave. Compared with the relaxation and joy last night, it is almost impossible to breathe.
From being full of hope to being shattered, it only takes a day.
The leader of the Green Tribe suffered from insomnia again, but the mood between the two was extremely different...
“￥#￥…”
The Green Tribe squatted on the ground helplessly, holding his head in his hands, looking extremely uncomfortable.
After squatting like this for a while, he finally stood up and gave orders to the tribesmen to prepare food and animal skins and go to the wealthy tribe to exchange for salt.
Because most of the previous transactions were covered by weeds, his tribe still had a lot of skins left.
However, judging from the fact that table salt is more valuable than pottery, the salt they brought in exchange for the animal skins this time cannot last long...
