Orcs’ Time Through Time - Chapter 63

Everyone has crossed the river, and the dismantled ox cart is installed and the ox is set.

Soon we packed up everything and prepared to set off again.

Luo Lei also carefully arranged for people to select and clean the branches they saw when they made the raft yesterday, planning to take them to use as a fence.

I have to say that he is very careful in some aspects and has his unique insight. These sharpened woods have indeed played a certain role in the area where the tribe can rest in the evening when we pierce the tribe for a short time.

For this reason, all those who can walk get out of the bullock cart. An ox cart was vacated and loaded these calf-thick wood on a large cart full.

Probably because of the approaching destination, everyone’s emotions have become very high. And because here, except for the grassland where we can see, there is a large grassland that reaches the knees, and the farther place is the mountain. Sharp-horned wolves usually live on the plains, and targets such as sawtooth mammoths are very large, and they will soon be discovered, and the flame bears who like to eat berries and occasionally eat fish like to live in deep forests with swift streams. In the same way, herbivorous animals like the sawtooth mammoth are more willing to live in a wider grassland, and this grassland here should not be able to see them. Everyone here should be able to rest assured.

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

Because the mountain valley we are going to is a basin-shaped place facing the river and facing the river. One side is completely cut off by mountains and water. You can only go up and down from the valley, and the river is on the side, so you can follow it. There was only a gap at the foot of the mountain on this side of the plain.

When we reached the gap, we saw several very tall animals, about two meters tall, with heads like koalas, but ears as big as elephants. They were also fluttering. very scary.

At that time, because I was not used to walking long distances, even Yejia and Rona were inferior, so I walked to the back of the team. For this reason, Luo Lei had to accompany me slowly with Rona, and even A Rui followed the last bull cart.

Just as we were struggling to catch up with the team, Luo Lei even suggested that if I couldn’t walk, he would be animalized and fly behind me, when he heard a sudden exclamation from the front, but fortunately the team was not messy.

Realizing what might happen to the team, I didn’t care about the previous insistence to save face, and hurriedly asked Luo Lei to carry me to the front. It turned out that there was a team of about a dozen monsters about two meters high with a few small monsters in front of the team. Very leisurely, I didn’t know if they had come down from the mountain and were walking slowly not far from the team. It seems to want to go to the river.

Canaan was originally leading the team. When this group of animals appeared, it was probably because the cattle pulling the cart and the people in front were frightened, so they hurriedly greeted everyone to calm down, and did not pay attention to what happened for a while.

When I passed by, I looked at the group of animals in a daze, “What is this?”

I have never seen such an animal. I was a little confused for a while, and I could only shook my head: “I don’t know.” I must not have seen as many animals as him. I even saw flame bears dead. The horned wolf was only seen this time.

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

Fortunately, this group of animals didn’t look like they were about to attack us, but as if they didn’t see us in a leisurely manner, they walked towards the water’s edge slowly and on their own.

Luo Lei can also be sure that this is not a serrated mammoth with a height of three or four meters, and Canaan also said that their teeth should not be carnivores either.

So I finally decided that since they don’t want to move us, we don’t need to move them for the time being. After all, there is no need to add more casualties before reaching the destination. Although they don’t look like carnivores, their long claws, which may be able to scratch a person’s stomach, don’t seem to be easy to deal with. . So, we just watched them slowly come to the water to drink, and then slowly walked along the river to the grassland where we came.

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

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

Looking at the gap in front of me that seemed to be very close to the depression by the river, I was also a little puzzled.

I remember Canaan said that the gap here was not so small, at least it should be much wider than the gap in front of me, which seemed to be less than 100 meters. Ask Canaan again, and I have the same feeling. Although we don’t think we are in the wrong place, it feels somewhat strange.

Upon closer inspection, I felt that the foot of the gap seemed to have collapsed a bit.

Some worry about whether the terrain here is prone to landslides and mudslides, and it is not safe to live there, so I also asked Luo Lei to look at the collapsed gap with my back. The others were led by Canaan to move forward as planned.

When I walked to the collapsed place where the monsters appeared just now, I discovered that it was probably because it had rained a lot some time ago, and there were no trees in this area, only a few small trees and grass that had been washed away and crooked. , And it seemed that there might be a cave below, so the torrents from the mountain collapsed for a short period of time, and the cave was buried. If there is no cave or something, it should not have much impact on the overall terrain.

Moreover, in general collapsed areas, you can save some effort in studying the soil quality of this piece of soil. Since the terrain here is okay, let me relax, I have the intention 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 influence on yield.

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

I thought that the separation distance was only about ten meters, and it didn’t matter how each one looked, 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 the difference between the slightly protruding rock because the surrounding soil has collapsed and the general rock. Anyway, I have seen a lot of it. Inside is a mountain with trees growing on top of the stone. The stones are similar. If it is an ore mountain, one is generally buried deep in the mountain, and it is not easy to show outside without mining. The other is that the ore is generally shallower from the ground. The mountains are not easy to grow plants. Looking at the lush mountains in front of me, I really did not expect that nature would have such a miracle!

When Lorella looked over, I realized that the rock was actually slightly pink and salty white. As for the look in Luo Lei’s eyes, I also knew he had tasted it. Therefore, I dipped it with my hand and put it in my mouth.

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

In fact, when I noticed this stone, I was a little skeptical, this color and crystal structure, but I actually tasted it with my tongue, and I turned my head and looked at Luo Lei beside me in surprise-this is rock salt! It’s salt ore!

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

This may even be rarer than the salt ore in the mountains of the He ethnic group! And it’s so close to the place where we want to settle, even closer than the way the He people took salt in the past! What a miracle!

I also want to learn from Luo Lei and kneel down to express my gratitude to the gods! This is no longer such a thing as the road to heaven and earth, it can be said to have opened another wider door to us in another direction.

Luo Lei sincerely thanked the gods for giving us a way out.

I know that Luo Lei has always been worried about whether everyone will regret following me, so he has always been worried about the next life, even more worried than I am, and he knows that he is worried about me, afraid that I will be killed. Complain.

Seeing him praying so sincerely at this moment, he couldn’t help but see some sand in his eyes.

Because the salt we brought over was actually almost eaten at noon yesterday. Last night, although everyone didn’t say anything, there was not much salt in the dinner.

For the rest of our lives, Luo Lei and I knocked a large piece of this rock salt with a bone knife and a stone picked up next to it and brought it home for everyone to see and taste.

In addition, Luo Lei’s expression of what I explained to him, what is the salt of longevity, the salt of strength, the gift of the gods to us, and so on. In addition, everyone has never seen this kind of thing in the past. Even the travellers didn’t find this thing the last time they passed here, but this time they found this thing when they came here, and the tribe was even more excited about it. Even walking seems to be more powerful.

So in the evening, we were already on the platform.

While Luo Lei and Canaan took the males before the sun had completely subsided, they planned to use wooden stakes to enclose a range where we could set up a tent before we built the fence and house of the tribe, I also started to help again and again. As I was preparing dinner, I looked at this piece of land that didn’t seem to be a landslide or fault, 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 a bit larger than the terrace we used to have. In addition, the large plain and riverside depression extending to the gap in front of it, although this valley is not It’s not as flat as the platform, but it gradually extends to the mountain at a very gentle angle. The end of the valley is a plain and depression slightly higher than the river surface, but it is definitely a good place to build a village of hundreds of thousands of people. It shouldn’t be a problem for everyone to live and work in peace and contentment.

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

In the middle of the valley, the left hand is close to that without gap. At the foot of the mountain is the river. There is a stream less than two meters wide with a lot of large pebbles flowing out of the mountain and staying 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 both sides of this stream. The water in the stream can be used as daily drinking water. The stream is like a small ditch when it reaches the river downstream, and we can also use it for irrigation in the future.

Although the terrain here is uneven and has a certain slope, because the **** is not large, it will not be very difficult to build a house. And I have seen the mud here just now in the place where it collapsed. The upper layer of the soil here is about half a meter of black soil, and the white sandy loess gradually exposed below the black soil.

I don’t know what kind of vicissitudes of life and geographical changes have formed such a soil. But anyway, I feel very grateful that we have moved here at the moment. On the one hand, it is because the black soil is far more fertile than the land where the He ethnic group is located. On the other hand, it is the white sandy loess that can be seen in the collapsed area.

I used to think about building a house as soon as possible in the Hindus, but I didn’t think much about it, and in terms of materials, because there is a lot of wood there, my first reaction was to build a wooden house. In fact, when I used it, I realized that a house made of pure wood is actually very unsuitable for fire and waterproofing. Since it is going to be rebuilt this time, I plan to rebuild another house. It just so happened that Gunan gave me the method of firing the kiln, which also increased my confidence.

And, I opened my hands and looked at the handful of things I caught near the river in the gap when we came just now, and thought about the pieces of this kind of things on the riverside that I saw along the way. , I can’t help but feel even more that God treats me so badly! Maybe, when we settle down, I should really sacrifice to the gods!

Because I have reached the destination, even the small piece of big tent that can set up five or six large tents has been built with defensive fences, and the tents have been completed. Everyone is relatively relaxed today.

Although there was no hunting today, we still took out everything we could eat. Just the salt we got today, part of the meat was used for barbecue, and the rest was boiled in broth with wild vegetables that Aman and the others found during their break. They also slaughtered two and then caught the turkey for everyone to share. A fire of chicken.

Everyone was chatting and talking about their plans for tomorrow. The atmosphere was very lively. Even at the campfire, the males performed a very strange dance for the poor little females. Although the people here come from different places, the dance is very similar. Even if it looks like a flurry of demons, the overall dance is relatively neat, which greatly entertains a small number of females.

While watching and smiling, I couldn’t help thinking about the future of the many bachelors here. We must develop the tribe well and attract more people to join us. Otherwise, with just such a group of people, when everyone is old, it is estimated that there are not many people in the tribe. And this is absolutely impossible.

Maybe it’s because I’ve been here, all the plans started to spin in my mind, and I’ve been tossing over and over this night, I don’t even think I’m asleep, it’s dawn…

What I did not expect is that here, next, there will be more surprises!

Arnold’s parenting diary two:

September X+1, New Year’s Eve

Because I have always refused to believe what Ayuan said, Luo Lei took me to the high priest’s house today.

The high priest watched me very cautiously for a long time, and asked me many questions, and finally he was very pleased: “You are about to be a dad!”

If he is acquainted, he dare not tell me something!

But even so, if Luo Lei wants to be a dad, isn’t it just…

I looked at my stomach, how I looked at something wrong. Although there are no abdominal muscles in such a flat place, okay, probably because I have done less recently, and I seem to have a little belly, but it shouldn’t look like a child is inside, right?

probably?

But Luo Lei had reached the point of abnormality.

Today, I was just carrying a **** and intending to release the water in our field, but he quickly hacked away the tool in his hand: “You go back, I’ll go.”

I wanted to drink, and 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 a meal for dinner today, Rona has already come over to take the pot in my hand: “Ah, don’t move, I’ll come!”

Even for the meal, A Rui brought it to me: “Ah, don’t move, I’ll come.”

Although it’s good to open your mouth and stretch out your hands for such a meal, what is this!
