Orcs through the age

After everyone crossed the river, the disassembled ox carts were loaded, and the cattle were harnessed.

Soon we had everything packed and ready to go again.

Luo Lei also carefully arranged for people to pick and clean up the branches they saw yesterday when they were making a raft, and planned to take them there to make fence wood.

It has to be said that he is very careful and has his unique vision in some aspects, and these sharpened woods really played a certain role in our short time and so on, so that the tribe can rest at night.

For this reason, everyone who could go got off the bullock cart.An ox cart was vacated to load these calf-thin logs into a large cart.

Probably because they were approaching their destination, everyone's emotions became very high.And because there is a large grassland with grass that reaches the knees except as far as we can see, and there are mountains farther away.The sharp-horned wolves generally live on the plains, but the targets like the sawtooth mammoth are huge, and you can quickly find out that they like to live in deep forests with rushing streams like the flame bears who like to eat berries and occasionally fish Just like here, herbivorous animals like the sawtooth mammoth prefer to live in a wider grassland, and they should not be seen in this grassland here.Everyone should feel a little more at ease here.

Although according to Luo Lei and Canaan's analysis, there should not be a crisis like the one we encountered a few days ago, but in fact, we still had a false alarm here.

Because the mountain valley we are going to is a place facing the river in the shape of a basin facing the river. One side is completely separated by mountains and water. You can only go up and down from the valley. There is only a gap at the foot of the mountain on this side of the plain.

When we walked to the gap, we saw several very tall animals, about two meters high, with a head like a koala, but ears as big as an elephant. very scary.

At that time, because I was not used to walking long distances, even Ye Jia and Luo Na were inferior, so I walked to the back of the team.For this reason, Luo Lei had no choice but to walk slowly with me, and even Ari followed me to the last bullock cart.

Just as we were struggling to catch up with the team, Luo Lei even suggested that if I really couldn't walk, he would turn into a beast and fly with me on his back, when I heard a sudden exclamation from the front. Fortunately, the team did not mess up.

Realizing what might happen to the team, I hurriedly asked Luo Lei to carry me to the front, regardless of the face I had been insisting on before.Only then did I discover that there was a group of about a dozen two-meter-high monsters in front of the team and a few smaller monsters walking slowly not far from the team with a few small monsters. It seems to want to go to the river.

Canaan was originally leading the team at the front. When this group of animals appeared, the cows pulling the cart and the people in front were probably frightened, so they were busy telling everyone to calm down, and didn't pay attention to what happened for a while.

When I passed by, I looked at the group of animals together and was a little dazed: "What is this?"

I have never seen this kind of animal before, and I was a little dazed for a while, so I could only shake my head: "I don't know." I must not have seen as many animals as him, I have only seen dead flame bears, The sharp-horned wolf only saw it this time.

So I turned my attention to Luo Lei, who has lived on this land for more than ten years, and I got confused eyes.

Fortunately, this group of animals didn't seem to be attacking us, but they just walked towards the water's edge leisurely as if they didn't see us.

Luo Lei was also sure that this was not a sawtoothed mammoth with a height of three or four meters, and Canaan also said that judging from their teeth, it should not be a carnivore.

So I finally decided that since they don't want to touch us, we don't need to touch them for the time being.After all, there is no need to add any wounded before reaching the destination. Although they don't look like carnivores, their long claws, which can scratch a person's stomach with one claw, don't seem to be easy to deal with .So, we just watched them slowly go to the water to drink water, and then slowly walked along the river to the grassland where we came from.

It's just that we didn't expect that this false alarm also brought us a surprise.

After walking forward for less than half an hour, we came to the place where the group of monsters had just walked.

Looking at the gap that seems to be very close to the depression by the river, I am also a little puzzled.

I remember Canaan said that the gap here is not so small, at least it should be much wider than the gap that seems to be less than 100 meters in front of me.When I asked Canaan again, I felt the same way.Although I don't think we are in the wrong place, it feels a little strange.

After careful observation, I felt that the foot of the gap seemed to have collapsed a little.

Some worried about whether the terrain here is prone to landslides and mudslides, and it is not safe to live here, so I asked Luo Lei to carry me to see the collapsed gap.The others were first led by Canaan and moved forward according to the plan.

When I walked to the collapsed place where those monsters appeared just now, I realized that it was probably because there was a lot of rain a while ago, and there were no trees in this area, only a few small trees and grass that had been washed crookedly. , and it seems that there may be a cave or something below, so a small section was washed away by the torrent coming down from the mountain, and the cave was buried.If there are no caves or anything, it should not have much impact on the overall terrain.

Moreover, in general collapsed places, it can save some effort to study the soil quality of this piece.Since the terrain here is fine, I am relieved, so I decided to take a look at the soil quality here. After all, soil quality is still very important for agriculture.Whether it is planting or breeding, soil quality has a great impact on yield.

While I was watching the grass mixed with soil, stones, etc., Luo Lei was also busy not knowing what to observe.

At first, I thought the distance between them was only about ten meters, and it didn't matter if each had their own way, but soon I was pulled up by him.

When I first came here, because I was busy observing the terrain and soil quality here, I didn’t notice that the rock that protruded slightly because the surrounding soil clods collapsed was different from ordinary rocks. Anyway, I have seen it a lot Inside is a mountain with trees growing on top of rocks, and the rocks are similar. If it is an ore mountain, one is usually buried deep in the mountain, and it is not easy to be exposed without mining. The other is that the ore is generally shallower than the surface. The mountains are not easy to grow plants.Looking at the lush and lush mountains in front of me, I never thought that nature would have such a miracle!

When Lorella went over to look at it, I realized that the rock was actually a slightly pinkish salt-white color.As for Luo Lei's look, I also know very clearly that he has tasted it.So, I also dipped my hands politely and put it in my mouth.

So Luo Lei naturally became the discoverer of the open-pit red salt mine that our tribe has been enjoying for decades, possibly hundreds, and hundreds of years.

In fact, when I noticed this stone, I was a little skeptical about the color and crystalline structure, but after I actually tasted it with my tongue, I turned around and looked at Luo Lei beside me in surprise—this is rock salt!It's salt ore!

I have seen the kind of pink salt ore produced in the Andes, and I know its value. If this world can communicate with my original world as I know it now, then I also know the value of the salt here!

This might even be even rarer than the salt ore in that mountain range of the He tribe!And it's so close to the place where we want to settle, even closer than the path used by the Hittites to get salt in the past!What a miracle!

I really want to imitate Luo Lei and kneel down to express my gratitude to the gods!This is no longer such a thing as the endless road, this can be said to open another wider door for us in another direction.

Luo Lei is even more sincerely grateful to the gods for giving us a way out.

I know that Luo Lei has always been worried that everyone will regret it one day when they come out with me, so he has been worried about the rest of his life, even more worried than me. I also know that he is worried for me, afraid that I will be killed complain.

Seeing him praying so sincerely at this moment, I couldn't help but get sand in my eyes.

Because the salt we brought over was actually almost eaten at noon yesterday. Last night, although no one said anything, there was actually not much salt in dinner.

For the rest of our lives, Luo Lei and I used a bone knife and a stone picked up next to us to knock out a large piece of this rock salt and bring it back for everyone to see and taste.

In addition, Luo Lei played the words I explained to him, such as the salt of longevity, the salt of strength, what the gods bestowed on us, and so on.In addition, everyone has never seen this kind of thing in the past, even the You tribe people did not find this thing when they passed here last time, but this time they found this thing when they came here, and the tribe members became more excited because of this.Even walking seems to have more strength.

So it was only in the evening, and we had already reached the terrace.

When Luo Lei and Canaan led the males to plan to quickly use wooden stakes to enclose a range where we can pitch tents before we complete the tribe's fence and house before the sun has completely sunk, I also started to help While preparing dinner, I took a closer look at this piece of land that did not appear to be formed by landslides and faults, but more like a valley at the foot of a mountain extending slowly upwards.

This valley is not small, indeed, as Canaan said, it is larger than the plateau we used to, plus there is a large plain extending to the gap in front and a depression by the river, although this valley is not It’s not as flat as the platform, but it gradually extends up the mountain at a very gentle angle. The end of the valley is a plain and a depression slightly higher than the river, but it’s definitely a good place to build a village with hundreds or thousands of people , Let everyone live and work in peace and contentment should not be a problem.

Probably because this valley is a valley formed by the water flow in the middle of the mountain, so there are not many trees in the valley, basically it is grassland, and the trees start to hide at the end of the valley bottom, and they are all tall trees.

In the middle of the valley, the left hand is close to the one without a gap. At the foot of the mountain is the river. There is a stream less than two meters wide and with many large pebbles flowing out of the mountain. It stays in the river along the mountain, although it is not It's in the middle of the valley, but it's not a problem for us to build houses along the sides of the stream.The water in the stream can be used as daily drinking water. The place where the stream reaches the river is like a small ditch, and we can also use it for irrigation in the future.

Although the terrain here is uneven and has a certain slope, but because the slope is not large, it will not be very difficult to build a house.And I also saw the soil here at the collapsed place just now.The upper half meter of the soil here is black soil, and the white sandy loess is gradually revealed below the black soil.

I also don't know what kind of vicissitudes and geographical changes formed such a soil.But anyway, I feel very lucky that we moved here at the moment.On the one hand, it is because the black soil here is far more fertile than the land where the He people live, and on the other hand, it is the white sandy loess that can be seen in the collapsed place.

In the past, when I was in the Hezu, I thought about building a house quickly, but I didn’t think much about it. In terms of materials, because there are a lot of wood there, my first reaction was to build a wooden house.After actually using it, I discovered that a purely wooden house is actually very unsuitable for fire and waterproofing. Since it is going to be rebuilt this time, I also plan to rebuild other houses.It just so happened that I had the kiln firing method that Gunan gave me, which also increased my confidence.

Moreover, I spread my hands to look at the handful of things I grabbed at the gap near the river when we came over just now, and thought about the pieces of this kind of things I saw along the river along the way. , I can't help but feel that God treats me really well!Maybe, when we settle down, I should really pay homage to the gods!

Because we have already arrived at the destination, even the small area that can set up five or six large tents has also made defensive fences and tents, and everyone is relatively relaxed today.

Although there was no hunting today, we still took out everything we could eat.With the salt we got today, part of the meat was used for barbecue, and the rest was cooked with the wild vegetables that Ahman and the others found during their rest. They also slaughtered two turkeys and shared them among everyone. Ordered a little turkey.

While chatting, everyone talked about their plans for tomorrow, and the atmosphere was very lively.Even over the bonfire, the males performed a very weird dance to the few poor females.Although the people here come from different places, the dances are very similar. Even if it looks a bit like a group of demons dancing wildly, the overall dance is relatively neat, which greatly entertains a few females.

I smiled while watching, and at the same time, I couldn't help thinking about the future of many bachelors here. We must develop the tribe well and attract more people to join us.Otherwise, with such a few people, when everyone is old, it is estimated that there will not be many people in the tribe.And this is absolutely impossible.

Maybe it's because of being here, all the plans start to turn in my head, this night is tossed and turned, I don't even feel like I'm asleep, it's dawn...

And what I didn't expect is that here, next, there will be more surprises!

Arnold's Parenting Diary II:

September X+1 of the second year of the new calendar

Because I have been refusing to believe Ah Yuan's words, Luo Lei escorted me to the high priest's house today.

The high priest looked at me very carefully for a long time, and asked me many questions, and finally he was very relieved: "You are going to be a father soon!"

Even if he is sensible, he dare not tell me about Ah Mo!

But even so, if Luo Lei wants to be his father, then...

I looked at my stomach, and there was something wrong no matter how I looked at it.In such a flat place, although there are no abdominal muscles, well, probably because I have done less work recently, it seems that I have a little belly, but it doesn't look like there are children in it, right?

probably?

But Raleigh has reached the point of abnormality.

Today, I was just carrying a hoe and intending to put some water in our field, but he quickly snatched the tool in my hand: "You go back, I will go."

I wanted to drink some water, but before I got up to pick up the clay pot, he came back from the outside and quickly stopped me: "Don't move, I'll come!"

Even Rona and Ari are not normal, I want to cook something for dinner today, Rona has already come over to take the pot in my hand: "Don't move, I'll do it!"

Even the meal, it was A Rui who brought it to me: "Ah, don't move, I'll come."

Although it's not bad to open your mouth and stretch your hands for such a meal, but what is this!
