But after searching around, Chen Chao finally found the so-called salt mine near a small hole.
As for how he found it, it all depends on the guidance of the Xian tribe's own people. There are so many people gathered around a small hole in the rock wall, it is a ghost if it is not eye-catching.
Super Chen looked inside, but it was so dark that he couldn't see anything.
At first, he preconceived that the salt mines should be very large caves as they are now, but when he found them, he realized that the cave was so small that he, a 1.8 meter adult, couldn't get in.
After searching around, I don't know what tool the Xian tribe used to get salt.
This thing is definitely out of reach. Chen Chao pondered for a while, and decided to use fire to boil water to splash it. Expand the hole on the rock wall, considering that there is already a certain space behind it, otherwise how would the people of the Xian tribe get salt
Maybe the rock of this rock wall is not very hard. Although there is no way to be sure, Chen Chao still plans to try it.
The fire-boiling-water-splashing method is mainly to heat the stone, and then quickly pour cold water on it, so that the whole stone can be exploded. Used it before when making slings in the Horde.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to tinker with some explosives. The threshold for explosives (prohibited words) is indeed not high, but now he can’t find the materials he needs, and he is also worried that the mine will collapse. Just clearing the stones would have killed him.
Seeing that it was still early, Chen Chao began to collect the wood needed to burn the stones. The living place of the Xian tribe is a long distance from the mountains and forests, which is basically equivalent to living near the salt mine.
The small opening of the salt mine is about halfway up the mountain, and there are trees at the top of the mountain. Living near the opening of the salt mine is also to better guard and protect one's own salt mine, which is equivalent to a meaning of incorporating the opening into one's own territory.
Maybe it was a lesson learned before, and someone sneaked up to collect salt. Otherwise, there is no need for the Xian tribe to be so extreme. They live so far away from mountains, forests and water sources. After all, once they live far away from water sources, it means very troublesome.
But there was a new problem, that is, Chen Chao had to get a few more pottery pots and prepare water in advance, so the amount of wood needed would be very large.
In this way, some stocks in the Xian tribe were not enough, but fortunately, he brought a stone ax and could go up to the top of the mountain to cut trees. Looks like I have to stay here for a few days.
Chen Chao first found the water source of the Xian tribe, and walked about three kilometers back and forth. I don't know what the Xian tribe usually rely on to get water. It's no wonder that they rely on moving stone basins to and fro to kill people.
Coming to the water source that could barely become a river, Chen Chao took a look at the soil quality nearby. It was not bad, not as rough as that of the Xian tribe, and there were still a lot of gravel.
After the mud was made and the pottery pot was made, the sun was about to set. Chen Chao brought the newly made mud embryos to the Xian tribe.
The Xian tribe still lived in the cave, so Chen Chao put away the mud and began to prepare his own dinner.
He went to cut a cabbage and found a few pieces of bacon. After thinking about it, he decided to eat some rice. Make a bacon meal for such a hard-working self.
Ah, I haven't eaten white rice for a long time~~~
miss you so much~~~
However, to eat white rice involves removing the hulls from the paddy, so Chen Chao couldn't be bothered. He found a stone basin and a piece of wood, and a simple rice husking tool appeared.
It is to put the rice into a strong container, press it up and down with a wooden stick, and "separate the wall" of the rice, so that the husk can be removed and turned into rice. But the pounded rice of this mode can not carry out the stripping of a large amount of paddy, and container and manpower all have limitation.
Even if Chen Chao is alone now, he can still use this stupid method. Afterwards, if you want to shell rice in batches, you should consider researching special things.
Put the rice and bacon in the pot at the same time, and put the cabbage when the water is almost dry.
When he ate the first bite of salted pork rice, Chen Chao was so moved that he was on the verge of tears.
MD, salt is delicious! !
The bacon rice is delicious! ! !
Chinese cabbage is also really delicious! ! !
After so long, he finally tasted the familiar taste~~
Hiccup~ Somehow, after eating a large pot of salted pork rice, Chao Chen felt that the person who ate just now was not himself. He felt that he had become a beast that could only eat, and his body was no longer under the control of his brain.
After eating the salted pork rice, Chao Chen set up a bonfire at the entrance of the cave. Accompanied by the darkness, in this place where there were no insects, birds, or beasts roaring, he fell asleep quietly with his arm on his pillow .
After that, it took another two days to burn pottery and collect wood. In the morning and noon of these two days, he also tried to restore various delicacies for himself in his spare time. He even enjoyed boiling cabbage.
On the third day, he woke up early in the morning, set up the logs under the rock wall, and fetched enough water from the river. By the way, the Xian tribe people around the small cave were moved a little farther away, lest the stones break and hurt them.
Light the fire and burn the stones!
pour cold water on!
"Crack, click," Super Chen heaved a sigh of relief looking at the rock wall that was obviously starting to crack. It seemed that his guess was right. But this method is not a panacea, this time the stone did not explode directly. However, it may also be that the heat is not enough, it seems that it still needs to be done by people.
After opening the hole, Chen Chao saw the scene inside and was so angry that his lungs would explode!
I saw that there were many bones in the cave, and there was a little boy lying beside the cave entrance, who looked about three or four years old. But skinny, but the stomach and head are huge. Chen Chao was not sure if the little boy was a corpse or just unconscious. But so far it doesn't look like it's rotting, and it doesn't smell weird.
And those bones all look like children!
Chen Chao roared angrily, and saw the sky change instantly, dark clouds overwhelmed the top, and a downpour came in an instant.
I said how the salty tribe got salt! The TM is to take the life of the child to fill, to get the salt! TM, aren't these the children of their own tribe!
It is true that only children can get in and out of such a small hole, but they are so damn willing!
No wonder there is so much salt to plunder the wealth of other tribes. Anyway, if the children die, there is no need to waste food, and the salt produced can be exchanged for food for them.
Chao Chen entered the mine first and picked up the little boy. He tried to listen to the little boy's heartbeat, but there was no response, but seeing that the little boy was just asleep, he couldn't be sure whether the little boy was dead or not.
Crazy calling electronic sound...
"I want to know if he's dead?" Super Chen pointed to the little boy in his arms.
