MTL - Be a Leader In a Primitive Tribe-Chapter 29

After arranging these basic things, Sang Yu went up the mountain to find Si Ya.

She herself will not participate in the specific construction, she should focus on the front end of development and discovery.

Si Ya is human, can run and jump, and has infinite strength. She is the best fighting partner. Sang Yu is very lucky to meet it.

Now it has been more than half a year since it was born, and the whole bear has returned to its former strength and ferocity.

Its two cubs are also fluffy, black and white, cute and cute, and they can already walk unsteadily.

Siya didn't like living with humans, so when she first arrived in Xindi, she went up the mountain with her cub in her mouth to find a cave to build a nest.

Now halfway up the mountain, it's all their family's world.

When it was snowing, there was no food to be found, so Si Ya also went down the mountain to get some food from Sang Yu. Especially fish, for Si Ya, the fish meat is extremely delicious, it is not afraid of thorns, and even burps after eating, and can spit out the fish bones completely.

Except for Sangyu, for everyone else, this winter is more comfortable than ever.

Sang Yu took Yu up the mountain to see it several times, and also touched a pair of fluffy little dumplings with her own hands.

She named the two little dumplings, the elder brother was named Mao Mao, and the younger sister was named Fenfen.

At the foot of the mountain, a small bamboo house was specially built for Siya's mother and son to live in, but Siya only took the cubs down to live in the bamboo house when she went out to accompany Sangyu, and the sparrows would also take over the two little hair **** .

Siya, more than two meters high, is very strong, like a small iron tower, and Sangyu riding on its back feels particularly safe.

But what's the point of always riding a national treasure? The future development of the tribe. In terms of transportation, donkeys, horses and even elephants are needed, and Sangyu asked Gao and Zhuang to keep an eye on these animals.

On this day, Sangyu and Siya went north around the waterfall on the east side.

The mountain in Xindi extends southwards into a large plain, and the river flows from east to west. If you want to cross the river, you need a boat on the other side.

Therefore, Sangyu never went to the other side of the river.

Similarly, there are mountains and forests stretching thousands of miles behind the high cliffs behind Xindi. They have rarely been there. The areas where they are often active are in the west and plains of Xindi, and this time she wants to go around the back of the waterfall. .

One person and one bear ran away, scurrying around in a radius. I saw a lot of animals, but they ran away when they saw them from a distance. Sang Yuzhi didn't care about them, nor did they catch up.

A few days passed and I still got nothing. I just came back halfway that day when I suddenly heard bleating.

Sang Yu patted Siya on the head to make him stop, stood on the bear's back, and looked towards the place where the movement came from.

There are several mountains here with very sparse vegetation, and the cry is coming from the foot of the mountain in front of you.

Sang Yu took a closer look and saw about twenty or thirty goats at the foot of the mountain were licking/licking around an exposed stone wall, as if they had eaten something delicious.

Si Ya turned her bear face towards it and yelled softly, as if she was also very interested in that stone wall.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Sang Yu was first surprised, then shocked, but soon became ecstatic.

She couldn't believe her eyes.

This is much more exciting than discovering saponin **** slices.

Her eyes were fixed on the foot of the mountain, but not on the goat, but on the mountain wall.

If nothing else, there should be a salt mine hidden in this mountain, which attracts the goats to stay.

This is salt, something that Sang Yu has been pursuing since time travel.

Looking for it, looking for it, and finally found it!

"Siya, let's go to that mountain."

Si Ya heard the wind and moved, leading Sang Yu to the foot of the mountain.

The sheep were frightened by the sudden movement. But even so, he still licked the stone wall reluctantly.

Of course, Sang Yu wouldn't let the dozen or so sheep go, and the salt mine couldn't escape, so she wouldn't let the little flock go.

Seeing that the flock was about to run, Sang Yu directed Si Ya to run straight towards the largest ram in the flock.

She observed for a while just now, and this ram is the leader. As long as she catches it, the other sheep will follow.

This kind of work is not easy for Si Ya, at most, she can take down the leader in two laps at most, and bring it to Sang Yu.

Goats are docile animals. They will only run away when they see danger, and they will hardly hurt people. Now that the leading sheep had been captured, another big bear blocked the way, and they were all in a mess. Following Sang Yu's scolding, they could only stay in one place obediently.

Sang Yu found rattan, tied it to the horns of the leading sheep, and tied it under the big tree beside the stone wall, so that Si Ya could watch the sheep and not let them run away.

The sheep took a few glances at the big bear, but they didn't intend to hurt them, so they gathered around the rock wall and continued to lick it.

Sang Yu was a little speechless, but most of the guesses in her heart had been confirmed by these stupid sheep.

The stone wall in front of him was licked slippery by passing animals, Sang Yu chose another place, knocked down a stone, put it in his mouth and licked it.

The familiar salty taste is transmitted to the whole body through the taste buds of the tongue, making Sang Yu, who has been fading out of her mouth for several months, almost cry.

"God has eyes, finally found the salt—"

It's not easy.

She almost thought she was going to die from lack of salt.

Si Ya also couldn't help coming over to lick the stone wall.

Sang Yu knocked a few big pieces off the stone wall, put them in the basket, and threw another big piece to it.

"Take this to satisfy your hunger. Let's drive the sheep back first, and let everyone come over to carry the salt tomorrow."

Si Ya took a large piece of salt mine in her hand, and she was very happy.

Sangyu led the lead sheep and walked ahead, while it followed behind while licking the salt block. If any sheep ran around disobediently, it would be driven back by it.

When I went there, I rode Siya and walked fast, and arrived in two hours. Now, relying on Sangyu's two feet, she walks on her own and takes the flock with her. It took most of the day to get home.

But for Sangyu, as long as he can find the salt mine, it doesn't matter how far away, and it's only half a day's journey here.

And the flock of sheep in front of me, as long as they are properly raised, after a year or two, the number will increase several times.

The road was winding, and it was already afternoon when Sang Yu got home.

Zhi and Liu, who were busy in the field, saw her coming back with a flock of sheep from a distance, and they shouted excitedly: "The leader is back, and he also drove a flock of sheep back."

When I was in the old tribe, the hunting team had hunted sheep. Most people can recognize these animals, but they have also heard that these animals are very alert, and they run away before they get close. What method was used to drive so many sheep back, and the sheep were obedient and did not run around, which made everyone amazed.

Que and Qing were hunting pigweed on the side of the road. Seeing the leader coming back from driving the sheep, Qing excitedly ran ahead to the farm.

Several bamboo sheds were built before the snowfall as breeding farms. Now there is only one family of wild boars, and the other bamboo pens are still empty.

Sang Yu drove the flock of sheep into the circle. After closing the door, looking at the flock of sheep, she finally felt that the farm had taken on a little look.

After finishing their work, the people rushed to the farm one after another, gathered around the grass shed and looked at the flock of sheep that were still huddled together with smiles on their faces.

These are all food. With so many sheep, they won't have to starve in the future.

Sang Yu waved to Zhi and Liu, and when they came over, he said: "Now we only have Que and Qing in our farm. These sheep are used to the wild, so they have to be raised in pens. The cassava is not yet ripe. Now you want to feed them?" What I do is to weed and open up wasteland, but if the breeding team is too busy, you will help Que and Qing to take care of these pigs and sheep, and Que has to pick mulberry leaves, so I am afraid that I will not be able to survive.”

Zhi and Liu hurriedly responded.

After everything was arranged properly, Sang Yu was ready to pick up the basket to find Yuan.

The basket was picked up by a thin arm.

Sang Yu looked at the way the little girl put the basket on her back without saying a word, and asked with a smile, "Is it heavy..."

Sang Yu had just walked with her back for an hour and her arms were exhausted, so she finally threw it to Si Ya.

"not heavy…"

Yu pursed his lips, what's the use of these stones. But she knew that Sang Yu brought something back for her reasons, and she never asked any more questions.

It was still early, and the others went back to continue working if they still had work to do.

Sang Yu led Yu towards the direction of the kitchen.

At the door of the kitchen, Yuan was processing the game that Yu had just brought back. It was three pheasants.

There was also a rattan basket next to it, which squeezed a few live pheasants, and was suppressed by the lid and could not move.

Seeing Sang Yu coming back, Yuan smiled and said: "The hunting team has a good harvest today. Yu first brought back a few pheasants, and there are still a few alive, which are still locked in the basket."

Sang Yu turned her head and blinked at her, "Why didn't you tell me just now?"

Yu shook his head and said, "I forgot..."

She has always been like this, reticent and indifferent, Sang Yu has long been used to it, and took the pannier off her back with a smile.

"Yuan, I found some good seasoning today, look what it is!"

Yuan looked at a big stone that Sang Yu took out from the back basket, her face was full of doubts, but seeing the excitement in the leader's eyes, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, she took the big stone, rubbed it vigorously with her index finger, and then put her hand on it. Leaning to his mouth, his eyes full of doubts suddenly burst into light.

"Boss, it's salt, it's salt—"

Sang Yu smiled: "Have you ever eaten salt before? Why did you taste it all at once?"

Yuan Hehe said: "I guess, the old people used to say that salt is like sweat on the body, salty, I just tasted it, it should taste like this."

"You guessed it right, this is the salt mine, we can eat salty food tonight."

Yuan was ecstatic, grabbed the half-processed pheasant and said, "Boss, eat this chicken mixed with salt."

"Of course, except for chicken, other dishes can be put. But this salt can't be eaten directly, it has to be filtered, otherwise it will be poisoned."

Yuan was taken aback when he heard that, he didn't expect that eating salt would be so troublesome. But considering that salt is so precious, it is understandable that the procedures are complicated.

It seems that the leader will handle it, so it's not a big problem.

"You will watch from the sidelines while I process it later, and you will mainly filter the salt in the future."

When Yuan heard this, his eyes widened in an instant, and his mouth was so big that he could swallow two eggs.

"Boss...boss, are you saying that there is still a lot of salt to eat in the future!"

Sang Yu glanced at her, and said casually: "I found a salt mine, and I will take everyone to carry it back tomorrow."

When Yuan heard about a mountain of salt, his jaw almost dropped.

Sang Yu held back her smile and said, "So you have to study hard. I'll be busy in the future, and I have to leave these things to you."

Yuan swallowed sharply, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, leader, you can leave this matter to me, and I will definitely handle it well."

Sang Yu nodded and said, "Crush this piece of salt ore, add water and boil it in a pot."

Yuan quickly found the pottery pot, and Yu who was beside him had already smashed open the rock ore with a stone axe.

According to Sang Yu's instructions, the two boiled the coarse salt with water.

Seeing that the water was boiling, Sang Yu turned the circle into a low fire and boiled it slowly.

After the brine in the pot turned into a large amount of white crystals, she was asked to stop the fire, and then scraped off the white crystals and put them in another pot to dissolve them.

The next step is to build a filter device to filter out the toxic substances and impurities in the salt mine.

Now that the conditions are not good, Sangyu can only use local materials to make a simple filter.

Find a big bamboo tube, remove two ends, cover one end with a mask that I have not used, and then tie it with a rope, then shovel out the charcoal in the stove, wash it, put it in the bamboo tube, and fix the bamboo tube on a big stone At the groove, put a jar below to receive the salt water.

Next, pour the dissolved salt water down from the top of the bamboo tube. The salt water passes through the charcoal and the mask, and the impurities are absorbed. Finally, the salt water flowing down from the other end of the bamboo tube has been filtered. Boil the salt water to evaporate the water. , The precipitated salt is the table salt that can be used.

This process looks cumbersome, but Sangyu has already made a filter. You only need to boil the salt water once, melt it, pour it into the filter, and boil it into crystals.

Round brain is not stupid, Sang Yu also told her the principle of boiling water and filtering. Although she didn't understand the reaction that happened, she knew that it was just to filter out the things that weren't salt.

But this time I only carried a piece of salt mine back, so Yuan can only practice it after everyone goes to carry salt tomorrow.

"Salt is good, but you can't put too much. Too much salt will be too salty, which is also bad for your health. You can put a little in this half can of food. If you have more water, add more. If you are not sure, add more When adding a small amount, taste as you go, and you will be proficient in a few days."

Yuan hurriedly said: "Leader, don't worry, I will do this."

Sang Yu has always been used to being meticulous, and now she also feels that she is teaching Yuan as if she were a child, so she smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "I just talk too much, don't mind."

Yu who had been silent beside him suddenly said, "Not much at all."

Sang Yu turned around, patted the top of her head and said, "As long as you don't dislike me, let's go, take the pheasant you caught today to our farm, and put all the prey you catch in the future there." .”

Yu obediently went to carry the basket, and the pheasants in the basket were startled and started clucking again.

When Sang Yu heard the cries of chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, she didn't feel noisy at all. Her task was to raise enough livestock and plant enough crops as soon as possible, so that the people of the tribe could live comfortably and gradually grow. happy.

Seeing that the little girl was still holding the package carefully in her arms, she asked curiously, "What's in your arms?"

"Eggs, mountain eggs."

After Yu finished speaking, seeing Sang Yu beside him smiled even more happily, and couldn't help adding: "Cao said that the little pheasant came out of this egg, put it together, and there will be a little pheasant in a few days." chicken."

Sang Yu stopped and said, "Let me see if these eggs can hatch into chicks."

Yu froze for a moment, looking at her in disbelief.

"It's an egg, why can't it give birth to a chick?"

Sang Yu couldn't explain to this little guy that there are fertilized eggs that hatch and eggs that cannot hatch, but simply said: "Some can give birth, and some can't."

Naturally, Yu would not question Sang Yu's words, reached out and took out an egg from her bosom, and gently put it in her hand.

Sang Yu took the egg, walked to the shade of a tree next to it, held it up to the sun in the sky, squinted her eyes to observe the inside of the egg, and saw a black shadow near the yolk, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

"This one can hatch chicks."

After speaking, he changed to another one. After looking at a few eggs in a row, they were all fertilized eggs. Then he smiled and said, this nest of eggs can hatch chicks.

Looking at Yu's suspicious eyes, Sang Yu took an egg and put it in her hand, and taught her how to look at it.

After reading it, Yu was a little surprised and said: "Then... is that Hei Hei a chick?"

"Not yet, it's still growing inside, and it will take a while to turn into a chick and break out of the eggshell."

Yu nodded half-understood, and Sang Yu liked her ignorant and puzzled look at this time, which is the look that a child of her age should have.

It's not the desperate Sanniang who has an old-fashioned face and rushes to the front whenever she encounters danger.

Soon the two came to the farm. Of these sheds, one was used to raise pigs, the other was used to raise sheep, and one of them was used to raise chickens. The remaining two sheds were still empty.

Because of the foresight, the chicken shed was almost surrounded on all sides, just to prevent these undomesticated pheasants from taking the opportunity to fly out.

The two of them entered the straw shed and closed the door before opening the lid on the basket. Five pheasants were crowded inside and could barely turn around.

When the pheasants saw the lid open, they rushed out one by one. Standing in the middle of the shed, they flapped their wings a few times and found that they couldn't fly out, so they had to walk around in the shed.

Sang Yu brought hay, piled it together, and then put the eggs in the grass nest.

Among them, the grey-brown old hen saw these balls, quacked and yelled at the two of them, and saw that the two were not malicious, so she ran to the grass nest, squatted down with one wing, and licked all the balls. They all gathered under their feathers and began to hatch their eggs.

Seeing this, Sang Yu pulled Yu out and stopped disturbing them.

As soon as I came out, I turned around and looked at the thirty-two sheep that had just been put into the sheepfold. At this time, they were huddling quietly in one part of the grass shed, and some of them were still chewing the freshly cut grass from sparrows and branches.

Next to the sheep pen is the pig pen. The ten little pigs are twice as big as when they first came here, running around the shed alive and humming.

Looking at the pig troughs made of stone in the pigsty, Sang Yu said: "I will ask Jiaoheyan to build a few more stone troughs in the future, put two on the side of the sheep pen, and put a small one in the chicken pen, so that they can drink water easily." .”

"However, if the stone trough is too difficult to make, clay pots are fine too, as long as they are thicker."

Yu poked his head to look at the sheep pen and asked, "Is the salt you saw today a mountain? There really are so many. Does that mean that pigs and sheep can also eat salt?"

Sang Yu laughed a little, thinking about pigs and sheep before she even ate salt.

"It doesn't matter whether it's big or small, don't you know how to call people, and it's you, you, you."

But if that salt mine can really be fully used by them, hundreds of millions of cattle and sheep will not be able to eat it up in many years.
