Orcs through the age

To be honest, I also thought that if someone from the tribe came with me, we would go find a better place and start building our own tribe and start growing the tribe.I even thought about what the new tribe will do, how to do it, how to plan, how to develop in the future, and so on.

But now being asked by Canaan, I am a little uncertain.

In fact, I like the terrain here very much. One is that it is not easy to encounter landslides, because we are on a relatively gentle platform, and the mountains behind are not very high; on the other hand, we don’t have to worry about rising water, because we are in On the platform, it is not easy to be submerged by water, and it is located in a place surrounded by mountains on two sides, facing water on one side, and a plain on the other. In fact, it can be regarded as a very good location. environmental.And, most importantly, there is also a salt cave here, which solves everyone's demand for salt.Although in the past, the Youzu people didn't seem to be very eager for salt, but in fact, the human body cannot do without salt. Salt can replenish human physical strength, and salt is also an important condiment and an important material for storing supplies.It's just that it's not easy to find another place like this or even better.

Perhaps seeing my embarrassment, Canaan sat down beside me again: "I know a place surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there is a relatively large platform in the middle of the mountain. Although the center of the platform is lower, there is a road in the middle from the mountain. The creek that flows out of the middle, below the platform is a plain, a very wide plain, in front of the plain is a river, much wider than what we see here, the creek that goes down the mountain and passes through the center of the platform finally flows into the river Go. The river cuts off the whole plateau and plain from the opposite bank, and there is only a small opening to enter the plain on the other side through the plain on the other side."

He and I used stones on the ground to draw the terrain he said, "There are wide depressions on both sides of the river. There are very lush plants growing on the depressions, and there should be many animals on the plain."

While making gestures, he looked at me from time to time: "Standing on the mountain and looking at the other side of the river, all you can see are plains. Although there is no lake, it is not worse than here, and the mountains there are deeper and more secluded than here. Probably no one has lived there for many years, and the mountains behind are getting higher and higher. All you can see are continuous high mountains and towering trees. Without wings, it is difficult to come from behind by walking. There should be no people living on the mountain. But you can also climb up the back mountain to hunt from the relatively flat platform, and we males can also go hunting on the opposite big plain. The only inconvenience is probably to cross the river. But we can fly, and we can carry things and people over. It takes about 30 days to get there. If you walk fast, you can get there in about 30 days. If the male flies over from the sky, it will take about ten days. It's time to arrive."

After thinking about it, he seemed to be afraid that I would disagree and said, "I probably told Patriarch Luo Lei about it."

When I heard it, I was a little surprised. I wonder when Canaan and Luo Lei had such a good communication?I don't know what they are talking about.Although I don't know if this is a plain between mountains or the sea from the foot of the mountain all the way through the plain, or if this is a fault structure landform, but the geographical environment should be good.

Behind and on one side of the platform are mountains stretching upwards. The huge river flowing from the side of the mountains and the mountains behind them together become a natural barrier.At the turn of the mountain range is a large platform. In front of the platform are plains and depressions. The depressions extend along both sides of the river. Downstream of the river, the mountain range turns again. The protruding part and the river just form a natural Even if the pass is to be defended, it only needs to build a defense here.It can be said to be a very advantageous place.

It's just that, even then, I'm torn if there's no salt in there.Although people didn't care much about salt in the past, if time goes on, especially if people start to eat more and more vegetables and wheat to fill their stomachs, salt is still necessary.We can't just rely on the salt in animal blood, right?If you want to exchange salt with others, there must be a place where salt can be collected nearby.

But for now, I don't know where there is a better place, and we can only do this for the time being, so I nodded to him: "Well, this is very good, and the idea is basically feasible. I don't know if there is any place there. A way to get salt?" Although I didn't have much hope for the salt matter, I still asked it meaningfully, and if it really didn't work, I had to find another way.

Maybe I am a little surprised why I specifically mentioned salt, because during the time they lived in the He tribe, we did not specifically ask them to carry salt, but only put it in the dishes when they ate with other people in the tribe Salt, give them some salt too.At the beginning, they were not used to putting salt in the meat. They only put some salt powder on it when making air-dried meat and preventing the meat from spoiling, so they probably haven’t developed the habit of eating additional salt until now.

In fact, before finding this salt cave, according to Luo Lei, most of the people in the tribe relied on eating meat to supplement their salt.I also understand that if you don't eat vegetables, the salt in the meat and blood of animals has some effect on humans, although it is not completely enough.But in fact, eating salt more properly can better replenish people's physical strength and make people less likely to get tired.And I still advocate that everyone should eat vegetables properly and not take meat as the staple food, so it is inevitable to supplement salt from special channels.

Canaan also paused for a moment.After thinking for a while, he said, "We also found it when we passed by here before. I don't know if there is any salt."

I knew that what he said was more honest, so I nodded, indicating that I already knew it, and agreed with him that we should go there first, and then look for the nearest salt mine on the way.If not, we have to find another way. Fortunately, it will take about ten days for the male to fly over. If it doesn’t work, I will let the male dig a hole in the mountain near the salt cave here to get salt.

In fact, I really want to ask him if that is the case, why didn't they settle there at that time?But think about it, they probably have their reasons, so they didn't speak.

But Canaan, who had been looking at me, seemed to be aware of it, and said a little embarrassedly: "When we came here, although we also thought about whether to settle there, but it was the dry season at that time, and we didn't know anything. No, not even a tent or anything, and there were no big animals in the swale over there. We are also tired of having to leave every time we settle down for so long, so we just want to find a place first Eat and drink enough, let everyone rest and rest..."

I probably also understand that the anger of being burned and the desolation of not having good fruits every time they settle down probably made them not think of starting a new tribe from nothing at that time.Although this may be difficult for some people to understand, but for those who have nothing and are angry, I still nodded.

After a night's rest, everyone has recovered enough energy, and after breakfast, everyone is even more energetic.

Although most of the people here are the original Youzu people, my words still have some effect. In fact, if you insist on speaking, these Youzu people who are upright and used to relying on force are more honest.With the addition of Sim Mu, the Belo family, and Monte and Ley who followed, everyone decided to let me command temporarily, with Belo and Canaan assisting.

I told everyone about the idea of ​​Canaan, and announced my thoughts on things like salt, and suggested that if there is no salt cave over there, we can consider where the nearest salt cave is.In fact, there is no salt nearby. We can also consider the meaning of opening a hole on the back of the mountain in the salt cave here, and sending people to fetch salt every so often.

Everyone didn't have a big attachment to salt, and they were very interested in that place, so they unanimously decided to go there.

Because the place mentioned by Canaan is in the upper reaches of where we are, Canaan also said that there is a shallower place in the upper reaches of the river where ox carts can pass smoothly, and that side is closer to our destination. , and in order that we will not lack water on the way, we also plan to go up the river first, and cross the river at a place that is closer to another river and the water is shallower.

Considering that Luo Lei said that he would also come, I probably also slowed down the speed intentionally or unintentionally.As a result, it doesn't look like everyone is rushing to settle somewhere, but it seems like they are going out for fun.

At this point, the children are probably the happiest.

Although the original children of the You Clan had been out of the house, the children from the Yi Clan, including A Rui, rarely went out. Such a large grassland and the herd of bison walking in the distance made them Excited, Ari also made a great ambition, saying that he would give me a bison in the future.

Since they have never heard of it, I have already become indifferent to them yelling "cow, cow, sheep, big sheep" in my ears.Just sitting in front of the car with Monte, who was helping, and driving.

Because Aman and Alin from Beiluo's family came to my car with their children, the three younger children of Youzu and Ari, and a lot of things in the car were put into the bullock cart However, even though most of the things on the car were moved to the car over there, the space of most of the car still seemed a bit small.So Ah Man hugged Ah Xing and squeezed in the second half of the car, and the children squeezed in the front half of the car. The children were also very happy to be crowded together. feel tired.

Another bullock cart was full of things, and it was driven by Lai and Sim Mu. Ye Jia, who volunteered to sit there to protect the cart, and Luo Na, who was pulled by Ye Jia, sat on it.

I used to think that Ye Jia was thirteen or fourteen years old, but later I found out that Ye Jia was actually only nine years old, but seeing that he was half a head taller than Rona, it can be seen that children cannot be compared with children.Rona is probably because of his bear genes. Although he is strong, he is not tall. As for Ye Jia, he is tall but thin. Now he has gained some flesh, and he was even thinner before.

Although the two young men were still young, they still did not do things sloppily. Although there was a lot of noise in this car, the two children in the other car sat quietly. Ye Jia looked at the front and occasionally followed him. The clansmen walking in the bullock cart chatted and asked questions about what, while Rona sat upside down and looked up at the sky, as if waiting for something.

Lukes, Hongda and Mo Hei took turns flying to the sky to check the terrain and the situation ahead.For the sake of safety, in addition to asking everyone walking on the ground to wear winter shoes, I also asked Abba Lulu of Canaan and Aque to take the wooden fork I prepared separately and open it first. Next to the grass and then march.

Because we didn't go too fast, so after a day and a half, I heard Rona's shout: "Stop, stop, Abba, it's Abba!"

When I looked up, I saw a somewhat familiar figure flying in the distant sky, which made me a little dazed.
