Salt, for people in this era, really has endless temptation.
Especially for tribes like the Xi tribe who already know the wonderful taste of salt and consciously cannot live without it, salt is really extremely important and has a fascinating charm.
All in all, after this man pointed at the mountain that was cracked by something unknown and shouted the word "salt", all the people in the Xi tribe couldn't help but get excited and felt their hearts pounding.
It was beating hard, and some people even lifted their overly developed chest muscles, which were moved by the violent beating of their hearts.
Even the older primitive female who wanted to go back the most no longer said anything about going back at this time. Looking at the large expanse of white exposed, her eyes almost glowed.
Salt is a good medicine and has a blatant effect. At this time, the courage of these people in the Xi tribe has increased by more than 10%.
“￥wee salt!”
No, the older primitive woman who had just wanted to take the lead in escaping, was the first to scream, pointing at the exposed white, her expression was so excited that she never talked about the tribe again.
.
After she said a few words to everyone, she took the lead and walked towards the exposed white.
The rest of the people followed her there.
Of course, there will be some fear, otherwise this older primitive woman would not hold the weapon in her hand so tightly and hold the half bronze tiger talisman so high.
Especially when climbing up the sliding mountain, the older primitive women felt that their legs were weak and they had almost no strength.
But when she looked up at the half tiger talisman she held in her hand, and then at the pieces of white salt, the older primitive woman couldn't help but continue going up.
The people following behind were in similar condition to her.
The mountain we just fell down looks extremely steep, and because the soil is wet, it is very difficult to climb up.
It was very difficult for the people of the Xi tribe to climb up. Two people even accidentally fell down from the top and were covered in mud and water.
However, these people did not go back and continued climbing up after getting up.
After some difficulty, the older primitive women who climbed at the front were the first to reach the lowest piece of white, where what they thought was salt was located.
She stuck the stick-like weapon in her hand on the ground, then with slightly trembling hands, she took a little white salt from it and put it into her mouth eagerly.
However, many times, the more hope, the greater the disappointment, just like now.
The older primitive female from the Xi tribe was full of joy and excitement. After putting something white into her mouth, her expression froze.
All the joy and excitement in my heart disappeared and were replaced by deep disappointment.
The people who climbed up later, after seeing her reaction, probably understood something, and disappointment rushed towards them.
But there were still many people who were unwilling to believe that these were real, so they reached out and picked up some white things that looked very similar in color to the salt they exchanged from the Qingque tribe and put them into the holes.
The taste of salt did not arrive as expected, and those who do not give up can only become giving up.
Everyone who was in high spirits and joy just now is now like eggplants beaten by frost, with wilted heads and brains, and the atmosphere looks sad.
The raindrops falling from the sky only aggravated the sad atmosphere.
Under such a mood, a person who had tasted something they thought was salt not long ago couldn't help but move his mouth, just like after eating something, he couldn't help but smack his lips and taste them carefully.
.
After doing this for a while, the person reached out and picked up some of this white stuff from the ground, which they thought was salt, put it in his mouth, and tasted it carefully.
This white, earth-like thing is a bit slippery and soft in the entrance.
Chewing with teeth will still feel the same and will not hurt your teeth.
There is no sweet, salty, bitter, etc. taste. It is not unpleasant to eat, but it is not delicious at the same time. It is a very ordinary kind of thing.
The man squirmed his mouth for a while, swallowing what looked like white dirt, and then his eyes couldn't help but light up.
"w3!"
She couldn't help shouting to everyone, her voice filled with joy and excitement.
Everyone who understood what she meant also turned their attention away from the disappointment that this thing was not salt, picked up some with their hands and put it in their mouths.
After this person reminded them, they no longer just paid attention to whether these things were salty, but began to pay attention to other aspects.
After doing this for a while, the eyes of these people began to brighten one after another.
Because they discovered that this thing is really edible as the person said!
It is not bitter, has no peculiar smell, and does not irritate the teeth, which is good news for them.
It doesn't matter if the taste is bad, as long as it can be used to satisfy hunger and fill the stomach.
Moreover, they also have salt exchanged from the kind and powerful Qingque tribe, which can make food extremely delicious.
When the time comes, you can sprinkle some salt on it and then eat it. Wouldn't it become delicious?
As a result, everyone who was full of disappointment just now was suddenly filled with deep joy.
This is a new food!
And there’s so much more here!
With these foods, the life of your tribe will suddenly become very easy in the future.
Even if you can't hunt or gather much food, with this new food that appears from the soil, you and others will no longer go hungry!
Some people even thought of using this new food to exchange for things from the Qingque Tribe.
In the past, because the amount of food obtained by my tribe was limited, it was already a bit difficult to exchange for salt.
As for the Qingque tribe, besides salt, they also have many good things.
For example, the kind that is different from animal skin, looks good when tied on the hair, and is called the red head rope by the people of the Qingque tribe.
For example, something called soap can make hair smooth, make people clean and smell good.
As well as the kind of comb used to take care of hair, and the kind of clothes that are very ventilated and breathable during this season, unlike animal skins...
They have been looking forward to these things for a long time, but because there is too little in the tribe and there are not many things to obtain other things besides salt, they can only bury these expectations deeply in their hearts.
But now, everything seems to be different all of a sudden.
With this large amount of food that can be mined from the land, they are able to exchange for the things they have longed for!
It is a woman's nature to like beauty, and dressing herself up beautifully is what every woman wants to do.
Whether it is ancient times or later generations, it is the same.
In the past, when the Xi tribe was incapable, these people buried their wishes deeply in their hearts.
Now, after gaining the ability, these people immediately want to start buying and buying.
"53..."
The older primitive woman looked extremely excited and said to everyone.
What she meant was to quickly dig up some of this new food and bring it back to the tribe, and wait until the leader and others return to eat it today.
So everyone dug it up with sticks in their hands, and carefully placed the excavated white earth-like food on the leaves they picked to keep out the rain.
Everyone dug a lot, and after making sure that there was enough food for everyone in the tribe, these people put weapons made of wooden sticks under their arms, held the white earthy food placed on the big leaves in both hands, and pointed downwards.
He walked cautiously.
In fact, these people of the Xi tribe are reluctant to leave here like this, but it is still raining, and the furs wrapped around many of them have been soaked by the rain. The cool rain feels very cold against their bodies.
This state is obviously no longer suitable for staying outside. They need to return to the cave as soon as possible, drink some hot water boiled from the precious pottery obtained from the Qingque tribe, and then use the fire to dry the water on their bodies.
, to warm up the body.
Otherwise, some people may die from this.
This is the experience they gained after living for a long time.
Of course, in the past, they could only get less rain, use fire to dry their fur and body, and drink hot water. But in recent years, they got pottery from the Qingque tribe and learned how to use pottery.
Hot water can warm people up quickly before adding it.
Fortunately, they were the only tribe nearby, so they didn't have to worry too much about the food coming out of the soil being taken away by other people.
These people returned to the cave with these white foods. The minors who seemed a little nervous waiting in the cave, as well as some adults who did not go and were not strong enough, saw so many white things, and
After hearing that these were edible foods and that there were many, many more there, everyone suddenly became very happy.
For these people, there is no better news than this.
Not only was there nothing scary in the place where the scary noise was made, but there was also so much food that could be eaten. This kind of transformation was really exciting.
Many people swallowed their saliva and tried to eat this new thing, but they didn't eat too much.
This is because the leader and others have not returned yet, and it is not time to eat food on a large scale.
They could only drink more hot water boiled in pottery to satisfy their hunger.
Although when there is not much food in the stomach, the more hot water you drink, the hungrier you become, but it is better to have something in your stomach than nothing at all.
While waiting like this, the rain was still pouring down outside. While it wetted the earth, it also made the air much colder.
Time passed little by little, but because there was no sun outside and it was always cloudy, the light did not change significantly, so it was difficult to judge how long time had passed and how long it would be until dark.
While everyone was waiting like this, no matter how long it took, the leaders of the Xi tribe finally came back from outside with the animal skins dripping on their heads.
They had good luck on this trip and caught some prey.
It is impossible to feed everyone, but if you put it in a clay pot and boil it with more water, it will basically be enough.
The leader of the Xi tribe was carrying a prey and walking hurriedly towards the cave.
On the one hand, they were very happy to have caught prey, and on the other hand, many of them were already half wet from the rain and needed to quickly return to the cave to warm themselves by the fire.
The people of the Xi tribe who had been looking forward to the return of the leader and the others couldn't help but cheered when they saw the leader of the Xi tribe.
They couldn't wait for their leader to return and tell them the great news.
The leaders of the Xi tribe only thought that the people in the tribe were so happy when they saw the prey in their hands, so those who had the prey in their hands raised the prey high.
Those who did not take the prey puffed out their chests, looking proudly like a big rooster that had just come off the back of a hen.
Seeing the leaders and others like this, the people who stayed in the cave cheered even louder.
The leaders of the Xi tribe could not help but raise their chests higher, not to mention the pride and satisfaction in their hearts.
However, when they returned to the cave, saw the white food, heard about the people in the tribe, and their experiences and discoveries after they left, the leaders of the Xi tribe couldn't help but blush.
I feel uncomfortable for how proud and contented I and others were just now.
However, this discomfort was quickly replaced by strong joy.
Compared with the large amount of food that is easily available, what I and others experienced just now is nothing at all.
So, the leader of the Xi tribe quickly asked the people in the tribe where they discovered these new edible foods.
After a while, the leader of the Xi tribe, who had just taken two sips of hot tea, led his people out of the cave and walked there under the leadership of the older primitive women.
Because the leader and others had returned, and the rain was not as heavy as before, the older minors also came out together.
They also want to see that magical place.
“￥5we……”
Seeing the peeling off of the mountain and the large tracts of white new food exposed in the mountain, everyone including the leader of the Xi tribe could not help but cheer.
This is really, really good news for them.
After all, most of them had eaten some of this new white food by mouth not long ago.
After everyone cheered for a while, they dug up some of this white earthy food again and took it back to the cave.
“￥5yu……”
After returning to the cave, under the guidance of the leader of the Xi tribe, everyone began to process the prey they hunted today and prepare for cooking.
The older primitive woman pointed to the newly obtained white food and recommended it to the leader of the Xi tribe.
What she meant was that the people in the tribe could eat part of this new food and some of the prey that had been reached, so that everyone would still be able to drink delicious broth tomorrow morning.
Those who discovered this new food with the older primitive women also looked at their leader eagerly.
This is a mentality that many people have. They hope that what they discover can be recognized by others as soon as possible.
For them, the greatest recognition is for everyone in the tribe to eat this new white food.
The leader of the Xi tribe was very moved by what he said, but after thinking about it, he still didn't do it.
"￥......"
He shook his head at the older female primitive, meaning that he needed to wait a while for someone to try it and confirm that the new food was indeed edible before eating it on a large scale.
"5we..."
After understanding what the leader meant, the older primitive woman spoke, meaning that she still had these people. When she first discovered them, she tried these new foods, and nothing happened. They are still alive and kicking now.
of.
In order to increase credibility and convince the leader early, while saying this, she actually jumped up on the spot.
Of course, everything would be even more perfect if the animal skins on the body were not peeled off.
The other female primitives also nodded and beat their chests hard to prove to the leader that there was really nothing wrong with eating this new food.
In fact, the leader of the Xi tribe came back with his people to try this new white food. After hearing about it, he also tried it. At this time, he didn't feel any discomfort, but he still felt a little uncomfortable.
rest assured.
"￥6..."
After thinking like this for a while, the leader of the Xi tribe shook his head vigorously, and at the same time spoke his thoughts to everyone.
His idea was that everyone should still drink broth tonight, and at the same time choose one person to let her eat more of this new white food.
After eating for two days in a row, after confirming that there is nothing wrong, we can start eating it on a large scale in the tribe.
Although the older primitive women felt that the leader was too cautious, but the leader said so, they had no choice but to follow the leader's wishes.
The older primitive woman was the first to express her willingness to try this new food by patting her chest and telling the leader of the Creek tribe.
Others, especially those who were the first to discover this new food, followed suit and expressed their willingness to try this new food.
They had personally tried this new food before and didn't think it was poisonous.
Moreover, once you succeed in trying new foods like this, your status in the tribe can be greatly improved.
Naturally, they don't want to miss such a good thing.
Of course, it is up to the leader to decide who will try out this new food.
"￥5!"
The leader of the Xi tribe glanced at everyone, then pointed at one person and said, let her try this new white food.
The person he pointed out looked older than the older primitive woman, and she looked frail.
The cheeks are deeply sunken, the cheekbones are high and there is not much flesh.
Such people are of little use in the tribe.
So the leader of the Xi tribe gave this task to her.
After receiving this task, this person not only did not feel any fear, on the contrary, she was also very happy.
After all, she had seen everyone rush to try this new food and knew that this new food would not be a big problem.
Moreover, as she gets older, her status in the tribe has become worse and worse, and she has become a burden-like existence. The food she is given out every time is the least and the worst.
After trying this new food this time and confirming that it is an edible food, her status in the tribe will be higher and her life will be improved accordingly. That's why she is like this
Happy.
Primitive people also weigh the pros and cons.
Under the envious gazes of the older primitive women and others, the old primitive man grabbed this new food with his hands and put it in his mouth.
This new food tastes soft, smooth and does not scratch teeth, making it very suitable for people like primitive people.
The old primitive man had not had a full meal for a long time, so when she got the opportunity to eat more, she would not let it go. She grabbed this new white food with her hands and kept putting it into her mouth until she was full.
, and then stopped.
It felt really good to be full. After drinking some hot water, the old primitive man burped and smiled with satisfaction and happiness.
Seeing this scene, everyone in the Xi tribe was overjoyed.
So happy they got such great new food...
“￥5e…”
As night fell, the cave of the Xi tribe after drinking broth was not as quiet as usual. Everyone involuntarily looked at the primitive woman lying on the hay, expecting and excited.
After a while, the leader of the Xi tribe personally asked the old primitive man how he felt.
Every time when asked by the leader, the old primitive man would smile and nod.
Everyone who saw this scene was even more happy, and even the leader of the Xi tribe had a smile on his face.
Such greetings continued for a while before finally ending.
With hope and joy, everyone began to rest.
The well-fed old primitive man also began to rest and soon fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took, but the old primitive woman woke up from a deep sleep with strong abdominal pain. The pain was so severe that she couldn't help but bend over.
After enduring here for a while, she finally couldn't stand it any longer. She climbed up from the ground with some difficulty, held her stomach and walked towards the entrance of the cave, and came outside to relieve herself.
However, my legs were numb from squatting, my stomach hurt so much that I was sweating all over, and nothing was solved.
So she stood up and walked tremblingly towards the cave, and couldn't help but scream.
This kind of movement soon woke up the rest of the people in the cave. After seeing the appearance of the old primitive man, the people who had just been dreaming were all surprised.
After a while, accompanied by the leader of the Xi tribe and others, the old primitive man came out of the cave again to extricate himself...
