MTL - This Is My Primitive Tribe-Chapter 22 looking for salt

Five days later, three bamboo houses rose from the ground, and those tourists finally had a place to live. They didn't have to be displaced and precarious as before.

This is also due to the fact that Jiang Xuan and the others became more powerful after they became warriors. They only needed to burn off the bamboo skin, and then they could quickly chop it down with a stone axe, which saved a lot of time.

These three bamboo houses are a little farther away from the bamboo forest, because Jiang Xuan can't trust these tourists for the time being, and doesn't want to live too close.

In addition, Jiang Xuan also built bathrooms and toilets for them, and insisted that they should not defecate anywhere, and they had to bathe frequently, otherwise they would be covered with lice, which was terrible.

Since he arrived at the Vine tribe, he had to follow the rules of the Vine tribe. Jiang Xuan didn't want to give these tourists the impression that he was a good talker.

A leader who is too talkative will make the following clansmen lose their awe, and when executing orders, it will also be greatly reduced.

Applying both hard and soft skills is a must-have for a leader.

After solving the accommodation problem, Jiang Xuan began to let them work.

On the side of the stream, in the vast flat land, Jiang Xuan said to Gan Song, "You don't need to hunt or gather. Your task now is to clean up this large piece of land, and then turn it over with bone stalks."

Gan Song said nervously: "There are so many of us, we have to eat a lot of food every day..."

Jiang Xuan knew what he meant, that he was afraid of starvation if there was not enough food.

"Don't worry about the issue of food. Since you are in our Vine tribe, you will definitely not starve."

Gan Song was helpless, so he could only nod his head and said, "Okay, listen to the leader."

"By the way, did you meet other tribes when you came?"

Jiang Xuan did not forget the cooking smoke he saw in the jungle before and the hunting sounds he heard.

At first, he thought it was these tourists who made it, but after thinking about it, it was wrong. These tourists do not have the ability to hunt on a large scale.

Gan Song thought for a moment, then answered affirmatively, "Yes."

"What kind of tribe? Where is it?"

Gan Song said: "It's a tribe on the way of migration. It raises a lot of terrifying big mosquitoes, and its wings are so wide."

Gan Song gestured, Jiang Xuan visually estimated that it was about thirty centimeters wide.

Considering that mosquitoes generally appear in groups, even a bison will be instantly sucked up by such large mosquitoes...

Thinking of this scene, Jiang Xuan took a deep breath, the scene was really terrifying.

"This tribe is very fierce. We had dozens of people who wanted to join this tribe, but they were killed, so we escaped here."

Gan Song's face was obviously filled with lingering fears.

"Do you know where they live?" Jiang Xuan asked again.

Gan Song shook his head and said, "When we met this tribe, they were still migrating, and then we ran for our lives. We don't know where they went."

Tribes that rely on hunting and gathering, in order to obtain more adequate food, will migrate at regular intervals and rarely settle in one place.

Jiang Xuan felt a lot of pressure because he didn't know which tribe migrated to where and how far away from the Vine tribe.

"Then how many are there?"

"There are at least a few hundred people, it's not clear how many."

"I see, you go to work first."

"it is good."

Gan Song went to work with the bone stalk. They needed to remove and burn the grass, shrubs, and thorns in the wasteland, then turned the ground over and picked up the grass roots, tree roots, and stones.

Land reclamation is a very hard job. Fortunately, the tribesmen have always been able to endure hardships and stand hard work. As long as they have food to eat, they have no complaints.

Jiang Xuan was standing by the stream with a heavy heart.

A tribe with hundreds of people and a very fierce tribe is a huge threat to the small Vine tribe, and it is easy to destroy everything they have worked so hard to create.

There is no solution for this kind of thing for the time being. Jiang Xuan only hopes that the tribe will not come here for a short time, or that Guteng is fierce enough to protect the vine tribe.

"Grow the tribe as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too passive!"

Jiang Xuan clenched his fists. As long as he was given a few years, he believed that with his own efforts, he would definitely be able to grow this small tribe, and then he would not have to be timid.

"Uncaria, you take Nanxing and continue to use traps to fish by the creek where weeds and shrubs have been cleaned, and watch these tourists by the way."

"Remember, just dig the pool in the open space, don't go into the place where the vegetation is too lush, and don't go to the place where the water is too deep, so as to avoid danger."

Uncle Teng said solemnly: "Don't worry, chief, we will pay attention."

Uncaria took Nanxing to the side of the stream. Now the grass and trees next to the stream have been cleaned up, and it is not as overgrown with weeds as before.

Jiang Xuan nodded and said to Chishao and Shiloach, "Let's go into the mountains to find something."

"What are you looking for?" Chi Shao asked curiously.

"Salt!"

"Salt?" Chi Shao's eyes widened: "Can you find the salt?"

Shi Loach was also shocked. It was really something like salt, which was too precious for the tribesmen.

Jiang Xuandao: "The witch in the dream told me a way to find salt. I want to try to see if it works."

When Chi Shao heard these words, she didn't ask any more questions, as did Shi Loach.

The tribal people are very in awe of the mysterious witch. No matter how difficult it is, if the witch said it, then there is no problem.

There is a reason why Jiang Xuan went to find salt at this time.

They just came here before, they lived by hunting and gathering, and they could also achieve the purpose of supplementing salt by drinking animal blood and eating meat.

Once the number of tribes increases, hunting and gathering alone will definitely not work, because the source of food is extremely unstable, and even depends on luck.

Planting and breeding are better and more stable ways to obtain food.

However, large-scale planting and breeding will also face a big problem, that is, lack of salt.

Although planting can bring a lot of food, but because of the reduction of meat consumption, it will inevitably lead to insufficient salt intake.

Coupled with the fact that work requires a lot of sweating, salt is lost faster.

The final result must be that the tribe fell ill due to lack of salt, and the tribe wanted to develop is a nonsense.

Therefore, Jiang Xuan must get enough salt in order to better carry out planting and breeding!

If you live by the sea, it is easy to obtain table salt, and even small amounts of sun-dried salt can be found on the reefs.

But in the Southern Wilderness, in the primitive jungle, it is not easy to find salt.

However, Jiang Xuan knew that large herbivores would take the initiative to find salt to eat in the wild.

The larger the herbivore, the more salt it needs, and the more frequent it is to look for salt to eat.

Jiang Xuan has lived here for more than half a year. He is familiar with the surrounding environment and has a certain understanding of the prey in the jungle.

He knows that in the jungle to the south, there is a huge group of bison, and these bison have a relatively fixed range of activities. If you follow the bison, you might be able to find a place where they ingest salt!

Jiang Xuan has been pondering this method for a long time. When he goes out hunting, he will also pay attention to the movements of these wild bulls.

Jiang Xuan didn't know if he could find salt with the bison, but he had to give it a try.

Jiang Xuan thought for a while, walked to the stream, and told Uncle Teng and Nan Xing what he thought.

It takes time to follow the bison herd. If it gets dark before they come back, Uncaria and Nanxing will definitely be worried. Let them know in advance and they won't be so worried.

Afterwards, Jiang Xuan, Chi Shao, and Shi Loach returned to the bamboo house, brought their weapons, and even some jerky, and then stepped into the vast virgin jungle.
