Chapter 56 The Creek Tribe
Zhou Ji put on new clothes today.
The clothes are made of plant fibers he stripped from vines. The plant fibers are white at first, but after being made into clothes for a while, they turn yellowish-brown. It looks like the sacks he wore every day. It's very similar.
But generally speaking, this kind of clothes is more like the clothes in Zhou Ji's impression than dinosaur skin clothes. After he used energy to soften the plant fibers, it was quite comfortable to wear.
However, although he has clothes, he has no underwear.
riding a bear...
Zhou Ji hesitated a little.
"Zhou Ji, let Kumano take you away!" the priest said, and then told the people in the tribe: "Zhou Ji is going out this time, and he has important things to do, you must protect him, even if you can't change him." When we get to Yan, we must bring Zhou Ji back safely!"
Although salt is very important, they will not die without salt. If the soil eggs can be harvested this year, it is also possible to change the salt next year.
This is Zhou Ji instead... Zhou Ji went out this time, but the Beast God meant it. If something happened to Zhou Ji, the Beast God would be very angry!
Thinking so, the priest secretly touched Zhou Ji's clothes.
He saw Zhou Ji making things these days, but he didn't know what he was doing. It turned out that he was making clothes...
This dress looks really good. When Zhou Ji comes back, he will learn to make one for himself.
Xiong Qi agreed to the priest's request without even thinking about it. As for Kumano...he turned into a brown bear and looked at Zhou Ji.
Zhou Ji finally sat on the bear's back.
The salt team set off.
The brown bear can stand up, but most of the time it crawls on all fours. Zhou Ji sits on the bear's back quite securely.
It's just that Xiong Qi, who has not transformed into a beast, is slightly annoying.
"Kumano, your beast form is already as big as the patriarch, it's amazing!"
"Kumano, your injury healed so quickly, and your health is so good."
"Kumano, you walk so steadily!"
……
Zhou Ji: "..."
Kumano: I am suddenly glad that I have transformed into a beast, so I don't need to answer.
People around: Xiong Qi has stopped chasing Langyin recently, but has been chasing Kumano all day long. Does he like Kumano instead?
Xiong Qi didn't know what other people thought. He was rescued by Kumano after changing the salt last time and was injured. Later, he and Kumano went hunting together.
Kumano rescued him twice, and he had to be more and more grateful to Kumano.
And as soon as he was grateful, he wanted to say something nice.
What's more, if you have a good relationship with Kumano, you won't lose money no matter what - Kumano is the future patriarch, and Kumano's men may become priests...
Xiong Qi made up his mind to follow Kumano's lead.
So, Xiong Qi, who had something to say about his bad temper, started his sycophant journey.
"Kumano, Zhou Ji's clothes are really nice, you are amazing!" Xiong Qi said again.
Kumano: "..." Zhou Ji's clothes really have nothing to do with him!But Zhou Ji promised to make one for him too... Zhou Ji was really kind to him!
He must walk well, don't shake Zhou Ji.
In Shi Li's memory, Kumano led the team to change the salt this time, and in the end they returned without success, not to mention losing some people, but this time is different.
Xiong Qi is still alive, and now the captain of the salt team is still Xiong Qi, and Kumano followed mainly to learn.
Although Xiong Qi sometimes speaks incoherently, he is still very reliable in his work, and he talked a lot about his experience of traveling long distances along the way.
"Outside, life is not as easy as in the tribe. The most troublesome thing is the rain, and the road is especially difficult to walk on rainy days." Xiong Qi rambled, "Before dark, we need to find a camp and settle down. , At least one side of the camp must be backed by mountains or rocks, but not by water, there are many monsters in the water, and there are many dinosaurs by the water.”
The first destination of the salt team this time is the Xiaoxi tribe where Xiong Qi changed to Yan last time. They also plan to inquire about the news of the Juhu tribe from the Xiaoxi tribe.
"The Xiaoxi Tribe may not have much salt. If so, we have to go around the Green Mountain... no, the Giant Tiger Tribe, and then go east to have a look." Xiong Qi said.
Kumano came out for the first time, and he listened carefully, but he did not express his opinion.
In a team, only one leader is needed.
The weather was good on the first day they set out, and Xiong Qi took them to find the cave where he used to stay overnight every time he came out to change salt.
This cave is not a stone cave but a mud cave. It is relatively humid, but it can still sleep even if it is covered with animal skins. Zhou Ji was arranged to sleep in the innermost part of the cave, while Kumano and others lit a fire outside and kept vigil in batches.
Zhou Ji naturally had no objection. He cross-supported a few logs on the ground, covered them with a layer of animal skin, and then in this small space, used energy to isolate the smell and ate a full meal—he had no chance during the day eat.
The next day, the salt change team continued to set off.
Zhou Ji visited almost all the surrounding tribes, and he knew exactly what plants there were. Although he was studying the surrounding plants along the way, trying to find some plants that could be planted, he found nothing, but since the third day At first, he can find some useful plants.
These are mostly vegetables or fruits.
For people in primitive tribes who are physically exhausted, they need high carbohydrates and high protein. Therefore, what Zhou Ji hopes to find most is something that can be used as a staple food.
It's not easy to find, however.
On the way, he saw some wheat-like plants, but after careful study, he found that they were filled with very small grass seeds, which were not suitable for eating at all.
"Stop." Zhou Ji called to stop again.
"What did you find again?" Xiong Qi looked at Zhou Ji curiously, very happy.
"There is an edible plant over there." Zhou Ji pointed to a clump of plants not far away. If he read correctly, it should be a pumpkin.
For manual laborers, pumpkin is not suitable as a staple food. After eating it, you will be hungry after a while, but it tastes good and should be very pleasing.
"Let's go pick it right away!" Xiong Qi was very excited, and Kumano, who had turned into a beast and couldn't speak, groaned dissatisfiedly at the two of them, and then ran over there first with Zhou Ji on his back.
It has been four days since they set off, and Zhou Ji didn't do anything for the first two days, Xiong Qi and the others couldn't help but muttered in their hearts, and then in the past two days, Zhou Ji found a lot of edible things, some of which were very, very delicious!For example, the melon I just found not long ago is very sweet.
It's a pity that Zhou Ji only gave them half, and he ate a little of the remaining half, and then fed it all to Kumano!
Xiong Qi followed Kumano and ran forward. Before, he always felt that Kumano was at a loss for finding Zhou Ji, but now he felt that... Zhou Ji was pretty good.
It's okay to eat less, but also caring, caring about Kumano everywhere!
As for him being weak... He was willing to listen to the arrangements and not mess around, so he wouldn't cause trouble for them.
I don't know what to pick this time...Xiong Qi is a bit greedy.
The pumpkin Zhou Ji saw this time was not yet ripe, but he ripened the pumpkin before he got close, and even ripened one of them so that he got the seeds.
On this day, they set up camp early as usual, and then divided half of them to go hunting.
The salt-changing team brought a lot of eggs and some bacon, but everyone didn’t bring them to eat. They were hungry along the way, so they hunted and ate by themselves.
Although these things can be eaten, they are more willing to use these things and exchange them for a little more salt.
Even, the prey they hunted on the road, if they can't finish eating, they will save it for salt.
They didn't catch much prey that day, but they barely had enough for everyone, so they lit a fire and roasted it. While eating meat, they listened to Xiong Qi talk about the Qingshan tribe: "The people of the Qingshan tribe are very weak. Can't catch enough prey, they are willing to trade our prey for salt..."
Zhou Ji was roasting pumpkins by himself.
There were seven pumpkins in total. After they were baked, he gave four to Xiong Qi and asked Xiong Qi to divide them up. He ate one and gave two to Kumano.
The ownership of these plants belongs to him, and there is no need to divide them equally.
"what is this?"
"Pumpkin." Zhou Ji said, "Try it and see if you like it."
Kumano opened his mouth and took a bite, then his eyes lit up: "It's sweet!"
Kumano doesn't like sour things, but he likes sweet things very much. This pumpkin is actually not very sweet, but he already likes it so much that he ate both pumpkins in one go.
There were a total of [-] people in the salt changing team, and the eyes of the remaining forty or so people were all red-each of them could only taste a small sip!
"This pumpkin is so delicious!" Xiong Qi exclaimed after eating his own bite.
"In the future, there will be this kind of pumpkin to eat in the tribe." Zhou Ji said: "It has a high yield, and you can eat it as much as you want."
The hunting team's eyes lit up, and they swallowed collectively.
They didn't like to eat grass before, of course, this doesn't include earth eggs - earth eggs are not grass!
But now they are walking with Zhou Ji, after a long time, they suddenly found that many grasses are quite delicious...
This kind of melon is more delicious.
Even if I can't switch to salt to bring back this time, it's not bad to have so many plants!
Everyone ate roasted pumpkin and were happy, but it rained at night.
All the things they brought that could not get wet were wrapped in dinosaur skins, which was fine, but because they didn't live in a cave, all of them were drenched, that is, Zhou Ji...
Kumano made him stay in a tree, and gave him a big, big dinosaur skin to put on his head, so that he didn't get soaked.
They didn't sleep well at night, and the next day, they walked in the rain for another day, and even Zhou Ji was soaked through at this time.
At night, the rain continued. Although we caught a dinosaur, we couldn't light a fire to torture it.
When everyone was frowning, Zhou Ji pointed in one direction and said: "We are going there." He has been using his mental strength to find a place to live, and found that there is a big stone over there. Below, a hole was dug by a lizard.
They could grab that hole for a break.
In fact, not only did they steal the hole, the lizards became their food.
"Zhou Ji, you are worthy of being favored by the beast god, you are too powerful!"
"We can finally get a good night's sleep."
"This hole is so spacious..."
……
Everyone who changed the salt team was satisfied, and only Zhou Jilue was helpless.
He was quite dissatisfied with life in the tribe, and it got even worse after he came out.
Fortunately, it is better than the end of the world, with food and drink.
With a hole, everyone's quality of life has risen in a straight line. After Kumano dried himself out, he turned into a beast and slept with Zhou Ji in his arms.
What was even more gratifying was that the rain stopped the next day.
They are traveling very fast, even most of the time, they are running, just like the migration of flocks of cattle and sheep on the earth.
On the eighth day, they reached the Xiaoxi tribe.
"In front is the Xiaoxi tribe." Xiong Qi pointed to a low house built next to a mountain and said, "There are more than 200 people in the Xiaoxi tribe, and the people in the tribe have all kinds of animal shapes, and most of them are not strong. .”
"Let's go and have a look." Zhou Ji got off Kumano and gave Kumano a set of clothes by the way.
Along the way, he knit a sweater for Kumano... no, a sack.
When Zhou Ji was approaching the Xiaoxi tribe, he had already used his mental strength to investigate the situation inside the Xiaoxi tribe, and found nothing unusual, but when he really came to the Xiaoxi tribe and met the people of the Xiaoxi tribe, he Faintly felt that something was wrong - the expressions of these people after seeing them clearly told him that there was something wrong with these people.
The people from the Xiaoxi tribe were very happy to see Zhou Ji and the others.
No, you can't talk about the people from the Xiaoxi tribe—the Xiaoxi tribe has been occupied by the Juhu tribe, and the people living in this tribe are actually from the Juhu tribe.
Now here comes a herd of fat sheep...could they not be happy?
