C4 Finding Salt, Storing Food.(1)

"Human, this roast meat is really delicious. It's much better than raw meat, right?" Chang'e licked her jade-like hands as she looked at Wu Xiaoming, who was still eating and drinking.

"Yes, yes, it's delicious!" Dong said with a muffled voice.

The people around the bonfire shouted and jumped. From time to time, they stuffed pieces of roast meat into their mouths, or drank the scarlet blood from the skulls of wild beasts.

The primitive people rarely drank water. When they were thirsty, they drank blood to replenish salt and other physical needs. Also, the river was too dangerous. Every time they fetched water, it was like walking to hell. Some unknown things would pop out of the river and drag them into the water. Most of the time, they didn't even know how they died.

Wu Xiaoming didn't drink blood. He was also thirsty, but he really couldn't drink it! Looking at the scarlet blood, he felt like puking. After all, he wasn't a vampire. He would dig a well by the river tomorrow! He had to solve the problem of water, or he would die of thirst sooner or later.

"Hey, it would be even better if there were seasonings. Without seasonings, there would be some salt! This kind of roast meat is really tasteless." Wu Xiaoming looked at the cheering crowd and thought unhappily.

Well, he had to think of a way to solve the problem of salt. With salt, he could make bacon. He wouldn't have to eat and drink like a bear. He would be like a rice bucket and hibernate in the winter.

Wu Xiaoming looked at the huge deer leg in his hand and could not help but shake his head. He was also a good-for-nothing.

The night was hazy. The river in the distance was like a jade belt under the moonlight, and the roars of beasts came from the forest from time to time. People went back to their caves to sleep after eating and drinking their fill. Satisfied smiles hung on their faces.

Because a large pile of fire had been lit at the entrance of the cave, there was also a pile of fire in the middle of the cave. The night had not been disturbed by wild beasts, and the cave was much more dry. It was a good night's sleep.

The next morning, Wu Xiaoming was woken up by Chang'e again. For some reason, Chang'e was getting closer and closer to him. She was almost inseparable from him. It was a good thing to have a beauty accompanying him, but ever since Chang'e said that she would not marry him, Wu Xiaoming did not like her. However, he could not chase her away, so he could only treat her coldly. Sometimes, he could not bear to look at her.

If Chang'e asked him ten questions, he would reply with one sentence. Coldness was the feeling that Chang'e and all the other women had, but he could not explain everything that he had experienced in his previous life.

"Women are annoying!" Wu Xiaoming sneezed as he brushed away the beast hair. He rubbed his eyes and waited until he was completely awake before he went out with everyone to eat breakfast.

After finishing the meal, Wu Xiaoming led Dong to dig a well not far away from the river. This was the special privilege he had obtained after killing the crabs and saving the women and children.

He didn't have to collect the roots and berries with the women and children anymore. Because he didn't want to let her follow him, Chang'e went with them. In the end, Chang'e's mother persuaded her to go with them.

It was much harder to dig a well than Wu Xiaoming had imagined. Because he didn't have the right tools, he could only use the sharp wooden sticks to dig the soil. Then, he used his hands to scoop up the soil bit by bit. Fortunately, they were not far from the river. The ground was not very hard, and the water level was also relatively high. However, he and Dong still had to work for five hours before they could dig up the water.

A rumbling sound rang out, causing all the water in Wu Xiaoming's hand to splash out. Dong almost fell down.

Wu Xiaoming pulled Dong and quickly climbed onto the ground. He was afraid that the silly animal wouldn't see the well fall down. It would be strange if he didn't crush them to death. The animals in this world were all huge. If they were pressed down, they would be heavily injured even if they didn't die.

Was this a herd of wild cows? A herd of six or seven meters tall wild cows rushed to the river. This world was too crazy. The horns on the wild cows were at least 1.7 meters tall, much taller than Wu Xiaoming and Dong. With their huge bodies and long horns, they were obviously not docile animals.

Wu Xiaoming originally planned to see if he could farm them. He wanted to raise some wild cows, wild sheep, wild deer, and other herbivores. However, when he saw the huge wild cows, he immediately gave up on the idea of raising them. Wasn't it too big? Six or seven meters tall, the human standing in front of a wild cow was like a small rabbit standing in front of a human.

The two warriors in charge of guarding stared intently at the herd of bulls, afraid that one of them would throw a tantrum and send the women and children flying.

During the migration, many people had died under their hooves. Although they were herbivores, they were much more dangerous than ordinary carnivores. Now, no one in the tribe could guarantee that they could deal with a single wild bull alone, including Uncle Di.

The herd of bulls ignored Wu Xiaoming and Dong, who were not far away, and even ignored the women and children who were harvesting. Instead, they rushed to the river and started drinking water.

With the salt, Wu Xiaoming almost laughed out loud. The heavens treated him well! Whatever he thought of, it would come true.

He remembered that when he was young, he had been a cowherd with his grandfather. Every few days, his grandfather would feed the cows with salt. At that time, he had asked his grandfather why he fed the cows with salt. Weren't the cows eating grass? His grandfather said that cows and sheep needed to eat salt. If he saw cows and sheep licking dry soil and other places in the wild, there would definitely be salt. If he was lucky, he could even find rock salt.

Wu Xiaoming immediately discussed with the two warriors about finding salt. After all, he and Dong were not adults yet, and they were small and weak. If they encountered carnivorous beasts, wouldn't they just be sending food to them? They needed someone to protect them and follow the herd of bulls to find the salt.

The two warriors did not dare to agree. There were still more than twenty women and children who needed their protection, so they did not dare to leave their post.

Fortunately, the herd of wild cows did not leave after drinking their fill. Most of them were searching for fresh and juicy plants by the river.

In the evening, Uncle Di and the others returned. They did not get much today, only three raccoons. Thinking about it, they were all barehanded, without even a weapon. If they went, they might return empty-handed. The fact that they could get something was enough to prove the strength of the primitive people.

Uncle Di was very conflicted after hearing the words of the two warriors who were guarding the village. He did not know what had happened to this person. Ever since he was pounced on by the raccoons, he had become unpredictable. It was as if he had become a different person. Of course, he did not expect that the soul in this body had already died. The soul in this body had transmigrated from the future. From Wu Xiaoming protecting his clansmen and killing the crabs to creating fire, everything was filled with suspense.

"Human, what is salt? Why do we need it? No one dares to provoke those wild cows. If the Patriarch of Shennong is here, we can organize a hunt. Now, we only have twelve adult warriors. It's best not to provoke them." Uncle Di carefully sized up the person, but he did not notice any changes. Could it be that he had been bestowed with the gift of Mother God Nvwa?

"Uncle Di, salt is a kind of ... Hmm, how should I put it? It is a kind of mineral that all animals need, including us humans. I know that you guys love to drink blood. After drinking blood, your strength will increase, and you will also have more energy. That is because fresh blood contains salt. Grass-eating animals can't drink blood and can only find a way to replenish salt. Also, with salt, we can store a large amount of meat. This way, we won't have to starve in the winter!"

"Is it really possible to store a large amount of meat? Won't it turn bad?" Uncle Di asked anxiously, his eyes full of doubt. In ancient times, food was the most important resource. With food, the tribe could develop. At least, there would not be a situation of starvation in winter.

It seemed that there was a chance. As long as he could convince Uncle Di to find salt, it would be half a success. "Absolutely. The bacon can be stored for more than half a year. As long as we find salt, we can store a large amount of bacon before winter. We won't be short of food in winter."

Seeing that Uncle Di was still hesitating, it was dangerous to follow the wild cows. If they were discovered by the wild cows, they would mistake them as hunters and would be in danger at any time. Secondly, winter was almost here, so they had to gather manpower to hunt. If they followed the wild cows, at least half of the manpower had to be split. "Uncle Di, look at the well I dug with Dong. With it, we can drink water without any danger."

"Hmm, let me think about it." Although Uncle Di did not immediately agree, he sent two warriors to secretly monitor the movements of the wild cows.

Soon, the night passed. The next day, when the sky was still bright, Uncle Di woke Wu Xiaoming up. The wild cows were about to leave. You and Dong should go and follow them. Remember to be safe. I will send five warriors to protect you.

When Wu Xiaoming heard that the wild cows were about to leave, he immediately got up and woke Dong and the five warriors up. He looked at the tall wild cows in the distance and wanted to cry but had no tears. The wild cows were originally the most suitable livestock. Not only could they be eaten, but if they encountered wheat, chestnut, and other crops, they were the best livestock. But now, just looking at their six or seven-meter tall bodies was not easy to catch, let alone tame. Even if they could be tamed, they could not be used as livestock.

The herd of wild cows slowly walked along the river, occasionally lowering their heads to nibble on the fresh and juicy leaves of the plants. Wu Xiaoming and the others hid in the long weeds from afar. Of course, they did not gain nothing. Wu Xiaoming discovered a bamboo forest. The bamboo forest of the primitive society was also relatively tall and thick. When he saw the bamboo forest, he knew that this time, he did not find salt, but it was worth it.

There were a lot of uses for the bamboo. It could be used to make spears, make bamboo basins, and watering containers. It could also be used to make bows and arrows. Hmm, bows and arrows were not worth mentioning. The beast skin on his lower body probably could not even penetrate the arrows. The arrows were too weak. Unless he found a tree with a high elasticity, he would not be able to penetrate it.

Most importantly, there were bamboo shoots and bamboo rice. He had seen bamboo rice on every pillar from afar. The bamboo rice was different from the ones in his previous life. The bamboo rice in the primitive society was actually twice as big as the corn in his previous life. Every bamboo had more than ten bamboo rice. He did not know if it was the same as the bamboo in his previous life. Once the bamboo flowered and bore fruit, it would wither and die. Wu Xiaoming silently noted down the location of the bamboo. When he returned, he would immediately organize his men to pick them.
