Chapter 26 (1/2)
dusk.
As a rule, Tu Shan people lined up in front of the big rock, waiting for the chief to distribute food for the day.
Today, however, the chief did not immediately distribute the money. Instead, he stood high on the big rock and looked at everyone with red light.
The people of the tribe were surprised to find that the chief was very happy, even his eyebrows were full of joy.
The last time the chief was so happy, it was when he succeeded in getting water by the lake.
What's the matter? There was a lot of discussion.
”Gentlemen.” The chief said with a smile.
Suddenly the people were quiet.
”We have extra food to give out today. We all go to get some containers, such as wooden and stone jars.”
Wooden, stone? What kind of food should be filled with this? Is it blood? But now that they have water to drink, they don't need to drink blood any more?
Seeing everyone's eyes puzzled, the chief no longer betrays the truth and carefully holds out a stone pot from behind.
There seems to be something white in the stone pot.
The chief took a wooden shovel, put it into the pot, scooped up a spoonful of snow-white salt, and then tilted the wooden shovel and let the salt float back into the pot. He did this action over and over again to let the people see what was in the stone pot.
”People, have you seen what this is?”
The silence in the tribe is terrible.
The chief's face turned red and he roared excitedly, ”it's salt, this is salt! This is not the salt that the Huangbo tribe exchanged with us, but the salt we refined ourselves
It was as if a big rock fell from the sky and hit them in the head. Tu Shanren were all knocked out.
”Salt? We spread salt made by ourselves? ”
In the crowd, pheasants looked at a corner in disbelief.
There, ye Xi stood in silence. When he heard the chief's words, his face did not change at all. He just looked at everyone with a smile, as if he had known about it for a long time.
When pheasants recalled the dialogue between Luo and ye Xi, which they had vaguely captured when they were in the cave, it seemed that the word ”salt” was mentioned?
The pheasant's hair stood up in an instant. Did ye Xi refine the salt after he solved the problem of getting water! Impossible!
”Chief, this is really salt, we really refined salt?” The people are calm, but there is a volcano hidden under this calm surface, which will erupt only after the chief confirms again.
Although the chief never cheated them, it was too big and they had to confirm it again.
Looking at the blazing eyes and looking expectantly at his own people, the chief nodded slowly and firmly.
Boom, the volcano burst out!
”Ha ha ha ha, we have salt in Tu Shan!”
”I can't believe it! I can't believe it!”
”You slap me and wake me up. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, I'm afraid I'll wake up.”
Bang! ”Slap you and see if it's a dream!”
”Ha ha ha ha!” The man with a red mark on his face was very happy, ”it's not a dream, it's not a dream!”
”Chief, how can we refine salt all of a sudden, is it...”
The chief seemed to know what he was going to say and confirmed his guess: ”yes! It was Ye Xi who taught us to practice it! ”
All people's eyes are like searchlights shining on Ye Xi in the distance. The pheasant eyes in the crowd are also widened. It is really
Ye Xi, who had been prepared for this exaggeration, blinked at them and laughed faintly.
The chief beckoned to Ye Xi to come over.
Ye Xi had no choice but to smile and stood on the rock according to the chief's instructions.
The chief seized Ye Xi's hand, held it high and roared at the crowd: ”let's thank Ye Xi!”
The crowd was quiet for a second, and suddenly burst out a strong roar: ”Ye Xi! Ye Xi! Ye Xi Each roared very hard, blushing, thick neck, even the strength of suckling.
The roar was so loud that it startled the flying pterosaurs around. The birds flying in the sky were scared to fly away. The echoes of Ye Xi and ye Xi echoed in the jungle.
Ye Xi waited for a long time before his roar was abated. Refining salt was really a small matter for him. The process was not complicated. He felt guilty for being treated with such enthusiasm.
After thinking about it, ye Xi hit his left shoulder with his right hand and his heart. He bent down slightly and saluted everyone.
The mountain wind blew his broken hair and gently swept across his cheek. Ye Xi stood up and said, ”I'm sorry All for the sake of Tu Shan. ”
Tu Shan people were stunned and roared for a moment. Then they did not know who was the first to start. They bent down on Ye Xi on the rock with their hearts hammered. This waist was not slightly bent like Ye Xi, but was deeply and deeply folded into a right angle.
”All for the sake of Tu Shan!”
Ye Xi couldn't stand the sight of hundreds of people bowing to him solemnly at the same time. He bent his knees, jumped down the rock, pointed to the sky, and yelled to the chief, ”well, if you don't divide the food, be careful it's going to be dark!”The people of the tribe laughed with kindness.
