Chapter 40: A Lively Day (2/2)
Yan Mo did not answer directly, but said first: ”We can't leave here, because even if we escape now, we will have to come back in the future.”
”Return? Why?” Meng also came over and asked.
”Because the salt is here.”
One sentence stole two people attention.
Yuan Zhan first reacted. He grabbed the boy and asked: ”Where is the salt?”
”Didn't you already see it?” Yan Mo frowned, and the boy's hand was really strong.
If you don't you need to be a coolie... Someone has hardly suppressed the dissatisfaction of his heart.
Yuan Zhan jerked his head and looked at the reddish lake, which was so big that he wondered if he would twist his head.
Yuan Meng still a little bit paralyzed, looking around, ”What did you see? Where is the salt?”
”That is called the red salt.” Yan Mo pointed to the lake and explained plainly: ”Is there any crystal blocks you see there? If you don't refine them, you can eat it directly. The side effects are probably similar to the salt offered by The Yanshan/Salt Mountain People. But if you re-cook and refine several of the crystal blocks with appropriate water for a few times, you will get a fine salt with almost no odor.... As long as you eat it once, you will understand its benefits.”
Some words....., Yuan Zhan didn't understand, them but he understood the whole intention of paragraph.
Surprisingly and unsurely pointing to the huge lake that they could not see the end margins ahead, Yuan Meng asked while he was stuttering: ”You, you mean...that, all the transparent stones like flowers in the lake are salt?”
” No.” Yan Mo shook his head.
Excited, he thought, if the transparent stone in such a big lake is salt, then everyone should eat salt and save so much meat just eat a bowl and pour a bowl.
Yuan Zhan didn't think so easily. He thought of the sea that the boy had said. He said that salt was in the sea. What about this place here? The water in this lake is not...
Yan Mo gave a definite answer: ”In addition to those crystal blocks, the water in the lake can be dried out as long as it is dried you can get salt.”
”What?!” Yuan Meng nearly fainted, ” You mean that big and big... How can a water in a lake turn into salt?”
Yuan Zhan may have looked calm, except that his hand was shaking slightly.
Yuan Meng reaction was the most real and direct. He absolutely doesn't believe it. He repeatedly asks Yan Mo, and keeps talking while circling him: ”Really? Is this true? Is there so much salt? You won't be trying to make fun of me? Or... Maybe I am dead, I was eaten by The Mountain God, I am dreaming now.”
1].... Drama boy
”If you are eaten, why would you still have to dream that kind of bullshit” Yan Mo gave him an annoyed, bursting out.
Grasping his hair with his hands, Yuan Meng looked like a man still in a dreamy expression.
Yan Mo can understand Yuan Meng state. As the soul from modern civilization, salt is not unusual thing. However, for these primitive people of this era, let alone possessing salts, they can see happiness in such a large salt lake enough to kilt over.
Yuan Zhan calmed down a bit and his mind began to turn normally. ”A big salt lake is here. It is impossible for no one to not know about it. If no one knows, then there is no tribe living in the distance of at least five days away.”
” If anyone knows?”
”They will occupy it.” Yuan Zhan was sure to continue saying, ”You can't see any figures here, and there are no leather tents and grass nests. It can be understood that even if someone knows about this salt lake, they don't dare to come here.”
”Because The Mountain God Jiu Feng.” Yan Mo whispered.
Yuan Zhan nodded. ”Yes, because The Mountain God is Jiu Feng.”
Yan Mo said: ”So we can't escape. If you let Jiu Feng remember to hate us, we won't get to come here again to get a salt. Say you are hungry. Don't be hungry? If we don't escape, then let's find something to eat?”
The stupid bird still doesn't know when it will come back. It's a pity that such a big two people are not here. It is just that he is ready to explore the wetland of the growing wing.
Sudden God's turning made Yuan Zhan silent, and then so excited, he just saw a few fish in the creek, and the most exciting thing for him is that today he can use a lot of salt on the fish!
To this end, when the Jiu Feng claws carried a horned cow and a bunch of fruit flying back in its mouths, it saw that the three Two Legged Monsters that had been thrown into the Leishen shrub encompass actually ran out together.
But these three Two Legged Monster did not escape, and they were huddled together on the open space in front of the stone pillar.
How did they escape? Jiu Feng was amazed.
”In addition to what you said about the sodium sulphate, there is only Leishen's ooze and weeds around here. Where can I go to find branches for you to get fire?” Yuan Zhan was angry at the picky of the little slave, how can the fish not be eaten raw, just a little bit, you can fill your stomach.
”There are stones.” Yuan Meng smashed two pieces of gravel from under the stone pillar and presented it to Yuan Zhan like a baby.
Yuan Zhan bared his fangs, ”Too small!
”Can't use them!” Yuan Zhan was curiously looking at Yan Mo, ”Little Mo, what are you doing?”
Yan Mo wiped the sweat, replied not too seriously: ” I am trying yo use a salt crystals to make a magnifying glass. When I was a child, I used a magnifying glass to ignite the toilet paper using the sun.”
”Little Mo, what the hell are you talking about?” Yan Mo heard Yuan Meng ask.
Yan Mo sat down on the ground and threw away the salt crystals in his hands. No matter whether he was naked or not, he sat open with two legs open. ”I am exhausted, and using this stuff to make a magnifying glass is really wishful thinking so many impurities, its transparency is so low, I'm afraid it's no effect. No matter, the fish is brought it can only be eaten raw! Even if there are parasites, I will talk about it later.”
Yuan Zhan and Meng suddenly went up and jumped together to prepare for defense and attack. Although they have no wooden spears.
Yan Mo took a slow step to feel the black shadow on his head, and as soon as he looked up he saw a huge horned cow that was falling down.
1]..... Hahah I'd be too shocked to a cow falling from the sky
”Hey!” The sound of the cow crashing on the ground made people feel the ground shaking.
Jiu Feng dropped the horned cow and the fruit flew to the three people and could not hover.
Yan Mo immediately woke up and yelled at Yuan Zhan and shouted: ”Abandon the attack formation, don't make any intention to attack, relax!”
Abandoning attacks and staying alerting is easier said than done. Yuan Zhan, who has suffered big losses because of Jiu Feng, and Yan Mo, Yan Mo, may have the most correct way to do so, but they are still afraid that the God Mountain Bird will suddenly descend down and poke their eyes or scratch their heads.
”Jiu Feng! Mountain God, here!” Yan Mo ran away from the two people and ran to the side and waved his head at the big bird.
I am saving people? One person does not give a reduction of one hundred points, but also a reduction of fifty points!
Jiu Feng stared at the two big monsters in the sky, heard the sound of a little Two Legged Monster sounds in his ear, he turned to see him running a little bit, and immediately gave up on the two big ones, to chase the little Two Legged Monster.
Yan Mo slipped looked from the air wings to The Human-face Bird flying trying to close to him in two steps, ”You come back, we have no escape, just out looking for food, you know, we were hungry.”
Jiu Feng couldn't understand the words of the little Two Legged Monster but when Yan Mo touched the belly and open the mouth. The bird guessed he should be hungry, and he pecked his head.
The interaction between the giant Human-face Bird and the boy surprised Yuan Zhan and Yuan Meng.
The boy Yan Mo is not only afraid of the Human-face Bird, but he dared to reach out and touch each other's hard claw after taking over the food.
”The Mountain God really anointed him.”
At this time, Yuan Zhan thoughts gave birth to a strange feeling. It was like he was pride, and it was like a good thing that Yan Mo wasn't taken away by others.
Yan Mo looked at the chunks of fresh beef that Jiu Feng wanted to share with him, and licked his lips. It would be nice if he could make a fire.
Jiu Feng looked at him, ”Hey.”
You don't want to eat? It's dead, not rotten.
”Fire, I want fire.” Yan Mo portrayed thunder and lightning, his fingers pointed on the ground, and then made a blast.
Jiu Feng, ”Hey.”
Come again I don't get you!
Yan Mo tried to make his point several times and painstakingly changed the final action, he was trying to get the other person(Jiu Feng bird) to understand what ”fire” is.
Jiu Feng bowed happily, picking the most tender meat off the horned cow, tearing it off and rewarding it to Yan Mo.
Yan Mo held the meat and silently shed tears for a few seconds, bowing his head and biting down.
Yuan Zhan and Yuan Meng who were thrown into the Leishen shrub again looked at the painful expression on Yan Mo's face.
Yuan Meng was so hungry and screaming, ”Little Mo, give me a bite, The Mountain Gods will not give us any! It took our fish away! Little Mo, you two can't finish the big one by yourself!”
Yuan Zhan didn't talk when he sat in the open space. They couldn't run anymore, but even if they ran out, Jiu Feng would fly over and sweep them into the Leishen shrub.
The two were burnt by the Leishen ooze a few times, and they learned to stay away from it. If they were driven in, they would not come out.
Until The Mountain God was full, and generously said that the rest of the meat was left to the The Two Legged Monster, Yan Mo found the opportunity to tear off the two pieces of meat with his hands and teeth and sent them to the two.
At night, Jiu Feng did not throw Yan Mo in the nest on the stone pillar, but took Yan Mo to another nest in the cliff.
And Yuan Zhan and Meng were so forgotten by The Mountain Gods near the Leishen shrub...
