Chapter 32: The rewards from The Guide! (1/2)
Where there is a lot of grass eating animals?
This is the grasslands!
There are many grass eating animals, but there are also many carnivores, and primitive people from other tribes.
Yan Mo felt that the request he made was very simple, and he thinks of a face that ”saw that things will not be easy to portray”.
”The biggest grassland grassland in the vicinity is three days away from us. There are several tribes' common hunting grounds around there. Every time they go there, the harvest will be great, but they must go to a team of at least 100 people and it must be before winter, during this the period, people who go will get more.”
Yan Mo remembered the army of thousands he had seen
”If we must go there, we must be careful.” When he said this, Lie had already held himself, ”I am sure we can't come back, as long as I can have a tragic mood to escape and report.
Seeing that everyone was careful to approach a heavy expression, Yan Mo looked at the situation: ”we don't have to go there. If there are bigger populations nearby, I don't want to hunt them, but I want to follow them.
” Follow them? Can you find salt following those grass eating animals?” Bing asked immediately.
Yan Mo didn't nod, didn't shake his head, and kept the good mystery. He has no mining skills and can only find ways from some common sense methods that he knows. He remembers that the ancient humans of the original world began to rely on the flesh and blood of animals to supplement the salt. Later, the primitive people living on the beach probably discovered the salt first, while the inland people occasionally found salt is found in some rocks and soil.
Therefore, he decided to follow suit.
Anyway, he can't think of a better way, just try it.
According to some clues and speculations in the boy's memory he even speculated that the Yanshan priest probably found Yanshan by tracking and observing the grass eating animals.
Seeing that Yan Mo refused to answer, everyone did not feel strange. The Priests and their Disciples were always mysterious. This kind of ability to find salt through grass eating animals must also be one of thing that is handed down on the Yanshan priests.
Yuan Zhan got up and seemed to be looking for signs. Finally he pointed to a certain direction: ”If you don't go to the phoenix grassland, go to the southeast, about a day away, there is a smaller sheeps flock.”
”Southeast?” Lie also looked up and said, ”I remember there was a large number of stingers in the vicinity who were there. Are we going to go there?”
”It's better than anything phoenix grassland is good.” Yuan Zhan calmly said: ”This is the last hunting period before the winter season. All the nearby big tribes are concentrated there. Most of the grassland beasts are also there. If we are accidentally discovered, if we are not eaten by the beasts, we will be captured or killed by other tribes.”
”The stingers are also going to be difficult to deal with. Although they are few people, the stingers can be defended against, and they don't even talk to us. I will say that it is useless to say anything to them. The Chief always wanted to kill them, but they worry that they will lose a lot of tribal warriors in the war and the gangs have no intention of harassing nearby tribes for the time being. ”
Savage? Listening to the primitive people saying that others men are savages, it felt so simple! Yan Mo suddenly became interested in the group stingers people. If it is just a group of people who are just beginning to get enlightened, maybe they will be better than the people ofYuan Jiu Tribe? Even if their language is unreasonable, there may be a big problem.
”As long as we act carefully, don't rob the group of sheeps. The stingers will not be afraid to provoke us. If they don't use the stingers on them and they are dead more.”
In the latter half of Yuan Zhan's sentence, Yan Mo didn't understand much of it. Why if The Stingers tribe use more stings themselves they will die? Is it because the toxicity of the stinger is too great, even if the skin is directly exposed to too much of the toxin and a long time will allow the toxin to enter the body?
Yan Mo is more itchy, and I can't wait to get some of the stinger's stingers right away. If you can solve the antidote to its toxicity, this is a weapon for self-defense and life-saving.
”Well, then we better go there. The sun is setting. We must hurry to find a place to stay overnight, to the southeast... The nearest place to camp is still very far, we have to hurry!” Lie looked up at the sun location, immediately greet everyone to leave.
Everyone stood up, no more words were said they took up their luggage and left. Because of the quicksand incident, they spent a lot of time here, and now the sun has fallen to a position two feet high from the top of Hasas hill
There was nothing to say, everyone was just rushing to the road. On the way, after a rush of drinking water through a water source, Yan Mo had no time to see the nearby plants, and was urged by Yuan Zhan to walk faster. At this time, Yan Mo has not realized how dangerous it will be after going deep into the grassland.
Finally, when the red sky appeared on the horizon, the group of people rushed to the place where the Lie said. This place is far from the water source, and it is backed by a small mound. There are many fire pits or bones on the ground. It must be one of the daily camps where the warriors ofYuan Jiu Tribe came out to hunt would rest in between hunts
The day has not yet fell and Yuan Zhan handed the boy to Cao Ting to take care of. Then he together with Bing, Yuan Diao and Shan, the four people took the wooden spears and left to hunt.
Two flints were handed, and a hay was placed in a fire pit, and two stones were given to Wen Sheng.
Wen Sheng was holding two stones on top of the hay and hitting each other for a long time, and there was not enough flint to ignite the hay below. It really took a long time, and people tried it in the middle, but Yuan Zhan and Bing came back with the prey that was being processed at the water source. The fire still wasn't set alight
Finally, Lie announced: ”Fire God is not in a good mood tonight, everyone squeeze and sleep.”
Ha? ! Yan Mo stared at Lie and couldn't believe it. It's a hard reason why you don't make a fire in the wild. Because the fire is all by random luck of some god?
”Do not start a fire, so as not to be caught by the beasts. At night, everyone is squeezing and sleeping.” Lie face that looked like this is a normal expression, completely unconcerned.
When Yuan Zhan said this last time, he wanted to refute it. This time it was about his life safety and camping comfort. Yan Mo couldn't help but again: ”The beasts are afraid of fire, if we have a fire, Even if we can't barbecue, we don't have to worry about them rushing over. And the fire can also dispel the mosquitos. At night, sleeping the fire pit is also warm, and the benefits of it are piled up.”
”That we also need fire we are not in the tribe here. There is not a long preserved fire that we can just go to take it.” Meng was very helpless.
If you dare to say that you have no fire and you can ask for a beast, you are completely self-comforted because of the fire.
It's no wonder that the warriors will be so embarrassed. The ancient humans in his original world did not like to travel long distances for a long time. Generally, hunting and collecting stuff will be near the door of the house, and they would rarely stay in the wild for the night. Even in the evening, you can take the fire, flint and velvet in the wild, and more people dare to go out.
Yuan Ji Tribe dare to leave their homes, probably relying on people to be courageous, and if there are more people, the fire can be handed over to the slaves, let them separate one by one, as long as there is a success, then there is no loss of fire.
But if there are few people and there are few tools, it is a big problem to want to make a fire, just like now. It's dark, no one wants to go to the time and effort to get up and do it just want to fill up and sleep.
Yan Mo grabbed his scalp and felt like there must be a bug in his hair.
It is not impossible to make fire with stones, but if you want to have good results, you should also look at the texture of the stones, such as stones with sulphur iron ore, or those containing phosphorus-containing copper ore, and vermiculite.
In addition to the stone, as far as the current conditions are concerned, the way he can still think of how to make fire even if the thing may seem to be simple, but there are certain requirements for the it to happen. It's late and the sky is dark, if you want to find suitable dry planks, hard branches, flammable velvet that's not easy, and if you want to drill a fire quickly, it is best to make a bow with a string.
”Can you show me the two stones?” Yan Mo asked.
Lie did not care, he threw stones directly to him, this stone maybe more the what these primitives thought
In addition to the minerals that can be used as medicines, Yan Mo doesn't know much about the ore. He just wants to take it and see it. The result is really a problem for him.
The two stones seem to have been used for a long time, and the corners have become a little smoother.
Yan Mo immediately asked: ”The two stones, when you just got the hand, was the edge sharper?”
”Yes, got them in the rubble field, there are many such gravel.”
”When you used these two stones at the beginning, it was easier to create a flint?”
Lie looked at his brother, he thought about it and nodded.
”In this way, you can try to see if you can brush the stone and make a sharp edge, and then use the sharp side to hit and scrape another stone. Maybe this time you will get the flints faster. In addition, when a person hits a stone, the other person better be ready to blow the hay on one side...etc., and give the the hay to me.”
At the fastest speed, Yuan Meng immediately grabbed the hay and handed it to Yan Mo.
Yan Mo touched the hay and felt that even if it was dry, but it did not reach the flammable effect needed
So Yan Mo took two stones and clamped the hay to the middle and started rubbing.
”What are you doing?” Meng asked curiously.
Not only is he curious, but almost everyone who can see at night is watching him. Yuan Zhan took out the coarse salt, mixed it with water from the wooden scoop, and slowly applied it to the prairie rats that had already been deskinned and through internal organs.
Yan Mo didn't lift his head and answered: ”Making a fire.”
”Fire?” Everyone raised their ears together.
”It's something that is easy to burn with dry moss, hay, dried feathers, etc. It's best to take a look at these things before, and make their structure looser... Make sure they're lighter and softer.” Yan Mo patiently explained: ”When you are making a fire, put these flammable under the flint, and the flint will fall on it. You can burn it with a light breath blow, wait for the velvet to ignite and then you can add more hay, etc. If you add too much, you will be able to give start to the fire slowly.” Meng eyes were shining. ”Little slave, you know so much.”
”...I am a Priest Disciple.”
Sorry, I just summed up the knowledge of my predecessors for many years. Even if I don't say it now, when you develop for a long time, you will naturally improve the method of lighting a fire.
”But I think that The Priest Disciple of our tribe, Qiu Ning, doesn't know much as you. He should be older than you. Zhan said that you are already fourteen years old, but I have counted the knots that Qiu Ning has attached to his tent he is sixteen ” Yuan Meng was very proud of the number that he can count below twenty. Although he can't even figure out how much older his brother Lie is, the people here rarely seldom remember their age, like It is a different kind of thing that Zhan can remember that he has lived for seventeen years.
After Yuan Meng finished, he reached out and pinched the boy's face. ”Are all The Priest Disciples all thin? There is no meat on your face.”
When my nutrition catches up, you would see that whether I am still thin or not. Yan Mo grabbed his hand and pushed him away. ”Don't make trouble, you have to do nothing, just help me with a handful of velvet.”
”Yes! Give it to me.” Meng was an unstoppable person, now he was just sitting on the ground, then he grabbed a handful of hay with both hands and pulled it.
Lie watched the young man bit his lower lip. As a other ethnic group, he began to worry that the child would reveal so many secret of Yanshan tribe that his soul would be cursed by the souls of the past priests of the Yanshan people.
Yuan Zhan prepared the prairie mouse on his hand while he was staring at the boy with suspicion. A Priest Disciple of his family will be so kind?
Yan Mo originally wanted to find something for other slaves, but he found that Yang Wei and Xia Fei had not moved since the sun set, and then he watched Wen Sheng and Cao Ting Wen Sheng were not affected by the night. Cao Ting is also a little touched by the feeling of doing things.
Is night blindness caused by lack of nutrition? It is said that many people in ancient times had such problems, even in the modern times, many people in mountain villages became blind at night.
But why are all the original tribal warriors seeing just fine in the dark? Is it because they eat better than slaves?
Then why are Wen Sheng and Yang Wei able to see?
Huh? Whats wrong! How can even he see it so clearly?
