But after looking around, Chen Chao finally found the so-called salt mine near a small hole.
To tell how he found it, he had to rely on the guidance of the Xian tribe himself. With so many people around a small hole in a rock wall, ghosts are unobtrusive.
Chen Chao looked inside, and couldn't see anything in the dark.
Originally, he preconceived that the salt mines should all be very large caves as they are now, but when he found it, he discovered that the cave was so small that he couldn't get in at all.
I looked around and didn't know what tool the Xian tribe used to get salt.
This thing would definitely not be reachable by reaching out, Chen Chao pondered it around and decided to use fire and water splashing. Expand the hole in the rock wall, considering that there is already a certain space behind it, otherwise how do the people of the salt tribe get salt?
Maybe the rock on this rock wall is not very hard, although there is still 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 it with cold water, so that the whole stone can burst. It was used before when making slings in the tribe.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to fiddle with explosives. The threshold for explosives (forbidden words) is indeed not high, but now he can’t get the materials needed, and he is also worried about blasting the mine. Just cleaning the stones can kill him.
Seeing that it was still early, Chen Chao began to collect the wood needed to burn the stone. The settlement of the Xian tribe is a long distance from the mountain forest, which is basically equivalent to that they live near the salt mine.
The small opening of the salt mine is about halfway up the mountain, and there is no forest until the top of the mountain. Living near the opening of the salt mine is also for better guarding and protecting one's own salt mine. It also means that the opening is included in one's own territory.
Maybe it was a lesson before, someone sneaked up to pick salt. Otherwise, the Xian tribe does not need to be so extreme, living so far away from the mountains and forests and the water source. After all, once the place of residence is far away from the water source, it means very troublesome.
But this has a new problem. Chen Chao has to make a few more pots and prepare water in advance. In this way, the amount of wood needed is very large.
In this way, some of the inventory in the Xian tribe would not be enough, but fortunately, he brought a stone axe so that he could go up to the top of the mountain to cut trees. It seems that I have to stay here for a few days.
Chen Chao first found the source of water for the Xian tribe and walked about three kilometers back and forth. I don't know what the Xian tribe usually relies on to get water, and it's strange that it's hard to kill people by moving stone basins back and forth.
When he came to this water source that could barely become a river, Chen Chao took a look at the soil around it. It was okay, not as rough as the Xian tribe, and there were a lot of gravel.
After the clay pot was squeezed, the sun was almost set, and Chen Chao took the newly made mud embryos to the Xian tribe.
The Xian tribe still lives in the cave. Chen Chao put the mud embryos away, and then began to prepare his own dinner.
He cut a cabbage and found some bacon. After thinking about it, he decided to eat some rice. Make a bacon rice for yourself so hard.
Ah, I haven't eaten white rice for a long time~~~
I miss it~~~
But eating white rice involves husking the rice, which is not difficult for Chen Chao. He found a stone basin and a piece of wood, and a simple rice hulling tool appeared.
Just put the rice in a sturdy container and smash it up and down with a wooden stick to "separate the cytoplasmic wall" of the rice, then the husk can be removed and turned into rice. However, this method of pounding rice cannot carry out a large amount of rice peeling, and there are restrictions on the container and manpower.
Even Chen Chao is alone now, so he can still use this stupid method. Later, if you want to hull the rice in batches, you should consider researching special things.
Put the rice and bacon at the same time, and put the cabbage when the water is almost dry.
When he had his first bite of bacon rice, Chen Chao was so moved that he almost shed tears.
MD, the salt is so delicious! !
The bacon rice is so delicious! ! !
Chinese cabbage is also delicious! ! !
After so long, he finally tasted the familiar taste~~
hiccup~ I don’t know why he finished a big pot of bacon rice, Chen Chao felt that the person who had just eaten was not himself anymore, and he felt that he had become only eating. Beast, the body is no longer controlled by the brain.
After eating the bacon rice, Chen Chao raised a bonfire at the entrance of the cave, accompanied by the night, in this place where there are no insects, no birds, and no beasts roaring, he pillowed his arms and quietly fell asleep. .
After that, it took another two days to burn pottery and collect wood. In the morning and at noon of the two days, he tried to restore various delicacies for himself. He even blanched cabbage in boiling water and enjoyed it.
He woke up early on the third day, put the wood under the rock wall, and fetched enough river water. By the way, the Xian tribe people surrounding the small cave were moved a little farther away, lest the stones would break and hurt them.
Ignite, burn the stone!
pour cold water on!
"Crack, click," Chen Chao breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the rock wall that was clearly beginning to crack, and it seemed that his guess was right. However, this method is not omnipotent. This time the stone did not burst directly. But it may be that the heat is not enough. It seems that people still have to work hard.
When he opened the hole, Chen Chao saw the scene inside and his lungs exploded with anger!
I saw a lot of bones in the cave, and there was a little boy lying beside the entrance of the cave, who looked only about three or four years old. But he was skinny, but his belly and head were huge. Chen Chao wasn't sure whether the little boy was a corpse or just unconscious. However, it seems that there is no sign of decay and no strange smell.
And those white bones all look like children!
Chen Chao roared angrily, and saw the sky change in an instant, the dark clouds pressed on top, and a downpour came in an instant.
I said how the salt tribe gets salt! TM turned out to be filled with the life of the child and fetched salt! Are these not the children of their tribe!
It is true that children can only get in and out of such a small hole, but they are also willing to TM's!
No wonder there is so much salt to plunder the wealth of other tribes. Anyway, children don’t need to waste food when they die. The salt obtained can be exchanged for food for them. The people of the salt tribe are really good at settling accounts!
Chen Chao entered the mine first and picked up the little boy. He tried to listen to the little boy's heartbeat, and there was no response, but seeing the little boy just asleep, he was not sure whether the little boy was dead.
Crazy calling in the electronic sound...
"I want to know if he is dead?" Chen Chao pointed to the little boy in his arms.
