happy original life

Chapter 28 On the Road

Once the high priest died, the tribe would inevitably be in chaos for a while.Nagu, the identified disaster star, is in an embarrassing position at this time, and someone may put a pot on his head.

Traveling far away can not only avoid this chaos, but also let Nagu go out to relax. When he comes back, the affairs in the tribe should come to an end, so Xu Fei took Nagu to exchange salt as planned the next day. .

In fact, for Nagu and the others, life, old age, sickness and death are very open. Death is just returning to the embrace of the natural god again, and everyone has to face it.

Yesterday, because he suddenly heard the news, Zong Zong, who was taken care of in the tribe before, jumped into his heart, and he couldn't control his emotions for a while.

Seeing that Xu Fei was nervous about himself, his mood improved again.The high priest belongs to the entire tribe, and Xu Fei belongs to himself.When he and Xu Fei also went, everyone could see each other again.

The big man who had figured it out regained some energy and began to prepare for departure.The prey prepared yesterday will be brought along with some jerky to eat on the way.Each tribe is divided into a piece of land, and Nagu cannot hunt in the territory of other tribes.

Tribes with salt mountains have very little food on their territory, so they have to exchange salt with other tribes for food.

Nagu tidied up, carried all the prey on his shoulders, and prepared to set off like this.

Xu Fei saw that Nagu was carrying four prey the size of a bob-tailed deer on his back, holding four hooves with one hand, and it was very difficult to watch.He patted Nagu's arm, "Do those tribes have to have whole prey before they are willing to exchange salt?"

Nagu shook his head, some food is good, no tribe would be so picky, otherwise he would have starved to death.

"Then chop them up and put them in baskets." This is not a one-day or two-day journey, it will take ten days and a half a month, and it is definitely not enough to carry it.

Xu Fei felt that it was much more comfortable to carry the prey in a basket than Nagu did, and it was easier to carry the prey without directly putting it on the ground when resting.

Nagu didn't think of using a basket at all, so he just carried it and left.Thinking about walking with things in a basket a few times before, it is indeed lighter.He did what he said, and he directly chopped the prey into several large pieces and stuffed them into two large back baskets.

The pieces of meat that have been wiped with preservatives have shrunk a little, and two baskets are barely enough.The meat wiped with fresh grass has no cured meat, so the salt that can be replaced is relatively less than that of cured meat.However, he brought a lot of prey this time, and he would definitely be able to exchange for a large jar of salt, enough for the two of them to eat for a long time.

In fact, Heli's tribe will select a few people to bring the hunted prey every six months, and go to the north to exchange salt.In the past, no one wanted to take Nagu with him, but now he doesn't want to be with the clan.

Nagu originally planned to carry both baskets by himself, but Xu Fei also wanted to carry one.After all kinds of persuasion failed, Nagu took out an empty basket and slammed half of the meat in the back basket, which made Xu Fei stare.

But when Xu Fei took the half basket of meat, he realized that people still need to be self-aware. Another idea is that the meat here is so dense!Even though there is only half a basket of meat, it weighs heavily on the back.

Seeing that Nagu only brought dried meat, Xu Fei took all the salt and Balabala left over from home, and chose a small earthen pot to bring with him, so that he could boil some hot water for drinking when he was resting at night.

Although jerky contains salt, it is fine without salt.But Xu Fei thought that if he encountered some fresh ingredients along the way, he would not have to eat jerky all the time.

Before leaving, Xu Fei tidied up the house and extinguished all the fires to prevent fires.The jerky and the like are all hung on the ventilated wall, hoping that it will not be damaged.The two jars of pickled peppers and ginger are also neatly stacked and kept well.

Nagu also wanted to bring a few pairs of straw sandals there, but Xu Fei naturally vetoed it, which made Nagu turn around frequently, looking very reluctant.

Xu Fei also put away the rope ladder hanging outside the cave. Although everyone here can jump up directly, the rope ladder is just a decoration for them, but if he doesn't put the rope ladder back, Xu Fei feels that the gate is unlocked, no peace of mind.

When he was carried down by Nagu, he remembered that the vegetable field hadn't been watered yet, so he picked up the big man and went up to take down the wooden bucket. After watering it again, Xu Fei could only pray that they would not be too delicate, and must persist until they return.

After doing so many things, the sun has just emerged a little bit.They set off in the twilight of the morning light, while the water droplets were still hanging on the grass blades, and the weather had not yet warmed up.

This is Xu Fei's first "hiking trip", and he is looking forward to the scenery he will encounter, feeling similar to a primary school student's spring outing.Since coming here, he has changed a lot. He is no longer just muddling along like before, and his desire to explore has become stronger.

There was a wind in the morning, making the leaves rustle.Now we are walking on familiar roads, people often step on and walk, just follow the marks of the steps.It was hot at noon, so the two of them sat under the shade of a tree, ate a few mouthfuls of dried meat, and took a few mouthfuls of cold water to drink.

The big man didn't look tired at all. Xu Fei often went out with him during this time, and his physical fitness has also improved greatly, and he can still keep up with Nagu's rhythm.

When I rested at night, my whole body started to ache.Nagu used to rush on the road regardless of day and night, rest for a while when he was tired, and continue walking when he had enough rest.He can see things at night and is greedy for cold, so he basically doesn't sleep.

With Xu Fei now, Nagu naturally didn't want him to work hard.Watching the sun go down, they stopped to look for a suitable place to rest. In the end, the two chose a flat land near a stream as a rest place.

This area is close to the plains, and there are many large carnivores.Even though he didn't belong to any tribe, Nagu took Xu Fei with him, and he didn't dare to leave him to go hunting. Besides, they had enough food, so they didn't need to take any risks.

Dead branches for making fires can be seen everywhere, Xu Fei sent Nagu to fetch water, and picked up some branches to make a small bonfire. He also used flint very easily, and ignited a bonfire in one go.

After Nagu fetched water, he set the clay pot on the fire, and then went to the stream to wash with Xu Fei.

When going out, Xu Fei wasn't too picky. He washed his face with water, rinsed off the sticky areas and it was done.Nagu was afraid that Xu Fei would dislike the smell of sweat on his body, so he washed more seriously than Xu Fei.

There was no fresh food, so the two of them ate jerky.Because salt is hard to come by, there is not too much salt on the jerky, and it is not too salty to eat.This batch was made in summer, Xu Fei ate the jerky with hot water, and ate four or five sticks.

Afterwards, Nagu set up three more fires and urged Xu Fei to sleep.He sleeps outside very vigilantly, and can wake up immediately if there is any trouble, so he doesn't worry about being attacked by wild animals when he falls asleep in the middle of the night.

Xu Fei was really tired today, and soon fell asleep on Nagu's lap.He understands that only by cultivating his spirit can he not be too slow tomorrow.

Nagu leaned against a big rock, felt the weight on his legs, and gradually became confused after a while.There are only four flames remaining, faithfully guarding peace.

The first night was passed safely, Xu Fei did not expect that he slept so soundly, and it was almost dawn when he opened his eyes.After a night without dreams, the two people who had had enough rest (except that Nagu's legs were a little sore) took a bite casually and embarked on the journey again.

The next road is not easy to walk, the trees grow very densely, and the giant roots of some plants grow out of the ground. The ground is covered with slippery moss, and there is a danger of slipping if one is not careful.

Although this road is not easy to walk, but the distance is short, Xu Fei followed behind Na Gu, walking on the slippery road with deep feet and shallow feet.There are also some huge insects flying around from time to time, and occasionally a few will bump into the body, but fortunately they don't seem to bite people.

Xu Fei looked at his legs splashed with a lot of mud, and felt a cleanliness obsession.But in this place where there is no way to get up to the sky or down to the ground, he can only grit his teeth and endure it, just waiting for a place to wash it up at night.

They didn't need to look for water when they were on their way. Nagu saw edible fruits and picked some to moisten Xu Fei's mouth.Xu Fei ate a lot of colorful fruits along the way, but it was really strange that he had never seen the small white fruit he ate at the beginning.

After all, this is a trivial matter, and he didn't take it seriously, maybe the ginkgo fruit is a "special product" of the abandoned forest, just like the small fish and shrimp in the stream.

The days on the road were very boring. I wonder if Nagu chose a good route. They didn't encounter any danger along the way.Halfway through the journey, I accidentally encountered another batch of salt-changing teams.

They didn't know the rumors that Nagu was a catastrophe, and they had a good impression of this man who dared to take his own female on the road alone, and talked to Nagu from time to time along the way, but the big man became cold when he was in front of outsiders, and often It's three questions and one answer.

Only when talking about my daughter-in-law will I look straight at the other person, with sharp eyes, and the meaning usually conveyed is: No matter how good my daughter-in-law is, it's none of your business!It made the other party embarrassed and didn't dare to say more.

There were exactly ten people in that team, and they were all young and middle-aged men of the tribe. It was safe to walk together with more people, and Nagu didn't show too much rejection towards them. After all, the safety of the wife is the most important thing!

The two teams are not talking nonsense, and the speed of the journey is much faster.

Although Xu Fei didn't like to talk, seeing the group of young people chatting and laughing, he felt that time passed quickly.

Nagu noticed that Xu Fei's eyes would be attracted by the next door from time to time, so he pretended not to care and put a cold knife on the opposite side.It often feels chilly while talking over there, and then the sound is silenced inexplicably.In the end, Nagu held his wife's hand, wanting to hum with satisfaction.

Xu Fei didn't pay attention to the twists and turns, and sometimes felt that his stupid big guy was quite intimidating, he was good at hunting, and he didn't make trouble, which was much better than these stupid young men.

The stunned youths over there expressed their innocence one after another.

Everyone eats and sleeps together, and it doesn't feel hard.Stopping and stopping along the way, I encountered wild beasts blocking the way, and there was not enough meat to share.There is no way, young people are just growing up.

Afterwards, wherever Lengtouqing went, the birds were frightened and the beasts scattered.

Taking advantage of the safety of the crowd, Nagu bought a lot of fresh food for Xu Fei along the way.Xu Fei knows how to cook, but simply adding some salt to the barbecue can also give off a fragrance that makes the people on the opposite side drool, but under the pressure of Nagu, he can only look at it and drool.

After this incident, they decided that in the future, choosing a female should not only be based on appearance, but must choose a good-looking one who can cook, well, just like the petite female on the ground.

If Nagu knew what they were thinking, he would definitely beat them all over their heads, and then sneered: If you want to find someone like your own wife, even if you want to return to the embrace of the natural god, it is impossible!
