The Big Bear tribe had always exchanged salt with the Qingshan tribe, but now that the Qingshan tribe had an accident and was occupied by other tribes, it would be more troublesome for the Big Bear tribe to exchange salt.
But no matter how troublesome it is, the salt has to be changed.
Salt can make people in the tribe stronger, make people in the tribe less sick, and preserve food... Now the big bear tribe cannot live without salt.
In this case, they have to find a way to find new tribes who are willing to exchange salt with them, and even exchange salt with the people who occupied the Qingshan tribe.
Xiong He expressed his thoughts.
Xiong Qi said dissatisfiedly: "Patriarch, they killed people in our tribe, we still need to exchange salt with them?"
The tribe that occupied the Qingshan tribe was called the Giant Tiger tribe. It is said that the patriarch's animal shape is a very powerful saber-toothed tiger.
Back then, the people of the Big Bear tribe used to change salt, but they didn't even know that the Qingshan tribe had changed, so they were polite, but the people of the Giant Tiger tribe started attacking them without saying a word, killing several of them.
Those people were brought by Xiong Qi, and many of them have a good relationship with Xiong Qi...
Xiong Qi, who was complimenting Kumano for the beautiful wreath just now, heard what Xiong He said, and immediately became angry.
"The Giant Tiger Tribe occupied the Qingshan Tribe, and should have also obtained the salt exchange route of the Qingshan Tribe... If we don't exchange salt with the Giant Tiger Tribe, which tribe can we exchange with?" Xiong Hedao.
"We can bypass the Giant Tiger Tribe and exchange it with the people who gave the salt to the Giant Tiger Tribe!" Xiong Qi said, "Otherwise, we can exchange the salt with the Xiaoxi Tribe who exchanged salt for us last time."
After they were attacked by the giant tiger tribe last time, they finally exchanged salt with the Xiaoxi tribe not far from where the Qingshan tribe was located.
"That's fine." Xiong He said: "As long as you can change to salt."
Xiong Qi heard the words: "I will lead the team this time, and I will definitely exchange the salt!"
"We need a little more salt, and it is best to have a stable channel for changing salt." Xiong Hedao.
"No problem!" Xiong Qi said.
"Who are willing to go for the salt change this time?" Xiong He asked again.
Before, Xiong Qi and Xiong Ye went hunting together. They were injured, but they were all skin injuries. In the past few days, he has eaten and drank well every day. His injury has improved a lot. It will take another ten days to change the salt. , so he led the team.
Except for him...
Kumano, who put the garland that the priest gave Zhou Ji around his neck, stood up: "I'll go too."
Zhou Ji's face changed.
Kumano's injury is much more serious than Xiongqi, especially his broken leg.
Although Kumano has been taking care of him well in the past few days, in ten days, his injuries may not be fully healed.
Of course, Zhou Ji's face changed, mainly because it was dangerous to change the salt team.
At this moment, Zhou Ji regretted letting Kumano's injury heal too quickly.
There are quite a few active people like Kumano in the tribe. After Kumano responded, several people offered to change the salt. Most of these people were not burdened by the family, and some had experience in changing the salt before, such as Said Niu Er is one of them.
Xiong Hedao: "Okay, I will discuss with the priest and choose a few people to go."
The tribal meeting ended here. After the end, Xiong Qi found Xiong Ye: "Xiong Ye, do you really want to go? This time to change the salt is different from before..."
In the past, when the salt-changing team went to change the salt, even if there was danger, the danger was not too big, but this time it was different.
Everything they faced this time was unknown, and no one knew what they would encounter.
"That's why I should go." Kumano said, "I found that I've gotten a lot stronger recently. With me, everyone will be safer."
When the salt change team went to change the salt before, Kumano actually wanted to go with him, because he had to hold a companionship ceremony with Shi Li, so he didn't go in the end.
But this time, nothing happened to him, even if he was injured, he should be almost fine in ten days.
Salt is a matter of life and death for the entire tribe, and Kumano felt that he should participate no matter what.
As for the danger... Staying in the tribe, usually going out to hunt, is not the same as encountering danger, and they did not stop hunting because of danger.
"You've become stronger?" Xiong Qi looked at Xiong Ye in surprise: "Xiong Ye, you're so powerful, you've become stronger again. If you continue like this, it won't take long before you become the strongest person in the tribe!"
Kumano is a little helpless - Xiong Qi is really... No matter when, you can praise him!
When he first heard it, he was a little embarrassed and a little excited, but now he hears it, but he feels a little embarrassed.
"Xiong Ye." Zhou Ji called out, "Go back."
"Okay." Kumano responded and followed Zhou Ji back.
Zhou Ji didn't even have a smiling face just now. He knew that Zhou Ji should be unhappy, but even so, he was going to change the salt.
If there is no salt in the tribe, there is no way to store food. If there is no way to store food, how will we spend the winter in the future
If you can't even prepare food for the winter, I am afraid that every winter, a group of old people and a group of weak people will be eliminated.
The Big Bear Tribe used to have few people, that's why Kumano didn't want to see such a scene.
Speaking of which, Zhou Ji is also weak.
However, Zhou Ji will worry about him, that's for sure.
When he got to the cave, Kumano said, "Zhou Ji, don't worry, I'm very good, I'll be fine..."
"Not long ago, you almost had an accident." Zhou Ji said.
"That was an accident... In fact, if there are many people, even if I encounter such a scene, I will be fine." Kumano said.
"You must go?" Zhou Ji asked again.
"I'm going." Kumano was certain.
Zhou Ji saw Kumano's appearance and knew that Kumano was determined to go.
He didn't speak, just took a pot and started boiling water.
Seeing Zhou Ji start to boil water with a blank face, Kumano felt a little guilty for no reason, and said, "Actually, there are accidents everywhere... If I go to change the salt, I will definitely bring back a lot of salt... Do you have anything you want?"
Zhou Ji cut a piece of ginseng given by the priest and threw it into the water, and then threw some herbs that he had found in the past few days.
Kumano faintly felt something was wrong.
There was an unpleasant smell in the pot, and the various herbs boiled together and finally boiled a large bowl of black water, and Zhou Ji scooped the water into the bowl with a long-handled spoon, and then handed it to the pot. He: "Since you are going, take good care of your wounds and take medicine!"
"You clearly said before that I don't need to eat it!" Kumano said that the herb called ginseng was given by a priest. Zhou Ji boiled a bowl of water for him on the first day. Let him drink it again, and say he doesn't drink it.
But now, Zhou Ji wants to give him a drink again!
Not only that, Zhou Ji also added some other messy things to it!
Seeing the bowl of black things, Kumano wanted to retreat.
"You're going to change the salt, shouldn't you take care of your body?" Zhou Ji asked, pushing the bowl of medicine over.
Kumano drank it with a bitter face, and then felt a strange smell in his mouth...
He looked at Zhou Ji expectantly-after Zhou Ji let him drink ginseng soup last time, he gave him a candy.
It is said that the candy was made by drying it with water from a sweet bar. It was very, very sweet. Unfortunately, Zhou Ji only gave a small one. Now...
Zhou Ji stuffed something into Kumano's mouth.
Kumano subconsciously took a bite, and immediately frowned sourly—it was so sour, so sour, so unpalatable and unpalatable!
Zhou Ji didn't give him candy, but gave him a very sour fruit!
Kumano frowned bitterly.
It was already dark and the cave was very dark, but Zhou Ji could still see Kumano's face clearly, he sighed and put a candy in Kumano's mouth: "Eat it."
Kumano smiled immediately, and Zhou Ji said again: "Go to bed early."
Kumano went to bed obediently, felt that Zhou Ji was also on the bed, hugged the person into his arms, and went to sleep.
The weather was fine the next day.
A few days ago, the tribe picked up too much meat, and I haven’t hunted for a few days. Even today, I still haven’t hunted—Xiong River brought the people from the tribe to deal with animal skins and various carapaces. .
Dinosaur skins, shells of centipedes, and scales on some dinosaurs can all be exchanged for salt, and they picked up a lot of them a few days ago.
Now they're going to sort this out.
The people in the tribe were still busy, and Xiong Ye dragged his injured leg to help. Zhou Ji saw this and went to the priest.
"The beast god gave me a dream last night." Zhou Ji said.
The priest looked at Zhou Ji in amazement. It was enviable that Zhou Ji could get the gift of the beast god before. Now... Zhou Ji said that the beast god gave him a dream
Such a good thing, why didn't he encounter it
Why did Zhou Ji get the love of the beast god? Is it because he looks good
Or, is Zhou Ji lying
The priest's brows furrowed: "What did the Beast God say?"
"He said that our tribe will encounter some trouble next, and he is willing to help... He made all the eggs in the tribe mature." Zhou Ji said.
"This... this is impossible!" the priest said, the beast god is so busy, how could he care about their tribe
"I don't know if it's true... Let's go outside the tribe to see?" Zhou Ji said.
In this case, of course, go outside the tribe to see.
The priest took Zhou Ji out and said earnestly as he walked: "You did have a dream, but it's not necessarily true. I once dreamed that I was getting younger, but it was all false."
Zhou Ji didn't speak.
The priest took Zhou Ji and soon came to the place where the eggs were planted in the tribe.
Their tribe said that it was planting, but in fact they let the soil eggs grow at will. In the past, they didn't even apply fertilizer. The longer the soil eggs grew, the smaller they became.
Recently, at Zhou Ji's suggestion, I fertilized the eggs, but those eggs still didn't grow very well.
At this moment, when Zhou Ji and the priest passed by, the people of the gathering team were pulling weeds-this was also the opinion put forward by Zhou Ji.
"Priest, why are you here?" The leader of the collection team was a little surprised when he saw the priest.
"I have something to do." The priest said, not mentioning Zhou Ji's dream of a beast god - if this is said, it turns out to be false in the end, which is not good for Zhou Ji.
However, the priest didn't say anything, but Zhou Ji said: "I dreamed of the beast god last night, and the beast god told me that he made all the eggs in our tribe grow up."
Captain of the collection team: "… "
The leader of the collection team: "Priest, Zhou Ji said that he wants to fertilize and pull weeds, so he will do it. Anyway, it won't hurt the soil eggs, but he said this, it's too nonsense? I just saw, those soil eggs. The eggs are still very small!"
Recently, the priests value Zhou Ji very much, and Zhou Ji is in the limelight, but the captain of the collection team still doesn't like him very much.
Zhou Ji is just talking, and it's all of them who do the work. Why does the priest only pay attention to Zhou Ji
And, whether it's bacon or fertilizing and weeding, these aren't necessarily helpful!
Of course, the captain of the collection team is not happy at the moment, mainly because he thinks Zhou Ji is lying - she saw it in the morning, and those eggs are still very small!
When the priest heard the words of the leader of the collection team, he looked at Zhou Ji helplessly, and Zhou Ji took it seriously when he just dreamed, this is a shame!
Zhou Ji said: "I believe in beast gods."
Zhou Ji's expression is very serious, and the captain of the collection team is also dubious, but at this time, Yang Ying said: "He is just talking nonsense, how could the beast god go to him?"
Yang Ying and Yang Su's life was not bad after Shi Li left.
Xiong He is too busy to take back their cave. They have picked up a lot of meat these days, and everyone can eat it as much as they want.
But all this is temporary.
They know that their future is doomed to be difficult.
Under such circumstances, they naturally don't like Zhou Ji - Shi Li was taken away by Zhou Ji's father!
Of course, Yang Ying dares to say this now because she has just dug a dirt egg, which is the size of her fingernail.
Before Zhou Ji told the priest a lot of things, the priest revealed a little to the people in the tribe, but didn't say much.
One is that the time is still short, and what Zhou Ji said can't be seen to be effective, and the other is that Zhou Ji is too lazy to say it.
At this moment, many people said: "Zhou Ji, everyone dreams, but don't take your dreams seriously!"
"You had a good idea of bacon before, but how could the egg grow in advance?"
"We saw them when we were weeding and they were very small."
…
Someone else said to the priest: "Priest, even if you like Kumano, you can't believe everything Zhou Ji says."
"I don't think Zhou Ji's statement about fertilizing is not necessarily correct. Fertilizer is applied in some places, but the soil eggs wither."
"Weeding is useless, right? Earthen eggs have been growing with the grass."
…
Recently, the priest gave them a lot of tasks. It is said that Zhou Ji and him discussed it together... Everyone in the collection team has opinions.
There's no point in pulling weeds... These grasses can't be brought back to eat after they've been pulled.
"The Beast God likes me very much, he won't lie to me." Zhou Ji said.
Everyone: "..." This is too shameless, isn't it? If the beast god likes you very much, you will not even have the shape of a beast
