Let Go Of That Primordial Man

The leaders of the Blackstone Tribe devoted themselves to the salt-making work with incomparable enthusiasm; but after only two days, they had to stop helplessly.

The reason is very helpless, the stream next to the village has finally completely stopped flowing; salt is indeed a good thing, but in the case of no water to drink, no matter how much salt you have, you will still die of thirst.

Not to mention, because of the repeated stewing and filtering processes in the salt making process, this is a big user of water; the Heishi tribe at this time simply cannot afford such consumption.

After there was no new water source to replenish, all the water stored in the dam of the creek was collected by Master Niu; it was placed in a cooler warehouse, and several soldiers were arranged to guard it.

It is also from this moment that food and water have become important supplies for the Blackstone tribe, which are strictly controlled and distributed...

Although the Blackstone Tribe at this time still maintains the extravagant behavior of three meals a day, but from letting go of their bellies and letting everyone eat and drink, it has now become two dry meals at noon and evening, plus a sparse meal in the morning. Polenta.

Even so, each person has been assigned quantitatively to varying degrees because of their different status levels.

In the end, the collected clear water was only filled with thirteen stone jars, but for the natives of the Blackstone tribe, they could last for more than twenty days without considering daily water for washing and so on. .

It's just that even the most confident people among the high-level people dare not confirm that in these short 20 days, God will open his eyes, and a timely heavy rain will solve the current severe drought. .

Master Niu, why don't our hunting team focus on looking for water and transporting it back! Anyway, the prey in the mountains and forests is getting less and less every day. Many times, after a busy day, it's just for the hunting team to It’s just a day’s ration.” Mang, the leader of the hunting team, suggested.

Niu Xu agreed to the proposal after thinking about it for a while after hearing this: Yes, but every time you go out, you should bring your fishing net with you, and get as much fish as possible to make dried fish; in this case, no matter how much food you have There is never too much reserve.”

Compared with the stock of Qingshui, Blackstone's grain reserves are much more optimistic. Based on the current consumption rate of the Blackstone tribe, these grains can last for at least three months.

Those 300 acres of corn and soybeans won't be completely unproductive, so I can harvest a little bit! Master Niu thought in his heart...

In fact, compared to the inefficient method of letting the hunting team go out to find water and bring it back, Master Niu has a once-and-for-all plan; that is to dig a deep well with enough groundwater directly in or near the village of the Heishi tribe. .

How to find groundwater? Is there groundwater that can be used near the Blackstone tribe? Master Niu wasn't sure about this, so he decided to dig a well to find water, and the hunting team went out to find water, and proceeded at the same time.

However, before Master Niu was in the village and started his search for groundwater, a sentry on the simple city wall sentry came to report: The envoy of the Huidong tribe has come and asked to see you, Master Niu!

*****

Unsurprisingly, the messenger from the Huidong tribe was an old acquaintance of the Blackstone tribe, the leader of the tribe, Laota.

Not all tribes, like the Blackstone tribe, let the most important witch in their tribe run around; unless absolutely necessary, the witches stayed in the safest tribe and enjoyed the benefits of many tribe warriors. Protect.

At such a moment, the Gray Cave Tribe sent envoys to see him, whether it was for trading supplies or other things; as the number two figure of the Gray Cave Tribe, Laota was undoubtedly the best choice.

In the conference room in his wooden house, which is also considered as a part-time living room, Master Niu received the old tower of the Huidong tribe and his guards; Pull it over to support the scene.

It can be seen that the recent changes in the Blackstone tribe have surprised people like Laota.

When I came to the Blackstone Tribe to help last time, I almost lifted my head to the old tower in the sky and the two third-level totem warriors who guarded him; when they were walked in all the way, the wooden fence they saw was swayed by water. log cabin.

For the primitive people, these tall and friendless buildings almost blinded their eyes; so much so that when they walked to Master Niu's luxurious living room, they didn't even come back to their senses.

Master Niu, the Blackstone tribe was able to meet you and make you their witch; it can be said that they made the smartest decision. It took a while for Laota to recover from the shock he received along the way. God came, said meaningfully.

Faced with such a blatant compliment, Master Niu remained expressionless, but Kui and Mang smiled; obviously, they were very grateful for the decision they made that day.

Under the orders of Master Niu, Cai served a bowl of heavily watered Erguotou to everyone in the living room, plus a few pieces of white rabbit toffee for each person; It's a shameless compliment...

After exchanging pleasantries, Laota began to talk about the purpose of this visit: Dear Master Niu, this time we are here to trade a batch of supplies with the Heishi tribe; including twenty packs of salt, ten bottles of Erguotou, Five packs of sugar, and the other sharp gun points, we hope to get three.

Okay, no problem. Although we didn't intend to sell the alloy gun head, but because the Huidong tribe is our friendly tribe, we can make an exception this time to meet your request. Master Niu agreed straightforwardly.

Master Niu's straightforwardness surprised Lao Ta; but when he heard such an answer, his expression became a little embarrassed and embarrassed.

After deliberating for a while, the old man said cheekily: Master Niu, you also know that because it hasn't rained for a long time, the life of the Huidong tribe is also very tight, and I really can't afford it for a while. Sufficient supplies are coming; so...

You mean, you want to owe it first? Master Niu asked a little funny looking at that old guy in the old tower, hesitating.

That is to say, his expression is still friendly at present, and the faces of Kui and Mang have turned livid; according to the trading rules of Luolei Mountain Range, both parties have always been cleared on the spot, and there is absolutely no such thing as arrears.

Yes. Master Niu agreed to everyone's surprise. The arrogance with which he agreed inadvertently was simply earth-shattering.

In fact, the most fundamental reason is that this guy feels that these things look like a lot, but they are really worthless.

Then from his mouth, he uttered another piece of news that made Laota and others almost unbelievable: Actually, the Blackstone tribe has the ability to produce salt. It’s no problem to offer a favorable price.”

Hearing that the Blackstone Tribe can actually produce salt and is willing to provide it to himself at a preferential price, Laota was stimulated to stand up directly.

Then after thinking about the old man for a long time, he finally said a piece of news that made Master Niu no longer able to maintain his pretentious state:

Master Niu, in fact, the Juyan tribe and Boss Shen's caravan have united, and they have persuaded many tribes to join; they will soon launch an attack on the Blackstone tribe. This time, the other tribes may not Come to help again...
