Chapter 96 Departure
Song Guo was surprised to find that when he woke up, the water in the clay pot turned into salt!
Zhang Tian poured the refined salt that had been soaked and purified into bamboo tubes. Three tubes of salt were prepared from the crude salt brought by the Dashu tribe this time, and two tubes were kept in the tribe, and one tube was brought to the tribal meeting for people from other tribes. Taste and let them feel the taste of refined salt.

These days, hunters use the most cutting-edge crafting technology of this era, the stone leaf technology, to polish flint into a top-level killer that is as sharp as a scalpel.

Stone leaf products are the pinnacle of stone-making tools in the Stone Age. With this technology, every kilogram of flint can get a blade with a total length of more than 9 meters. It is no exaggeration to say that this is almost the same as kneading the entire stone. A twine is in use!

Zhang Tian had only seen this technique in books before, but now that he has seen it with his own eyes and tried it himself, he really understands how difficult it is to make a stone as thin as a leaf, not to mention that the clansmen use the simplest tools.

The hunters in the primitive society are very craftsman. They put the stone leaves polished hundreds of times into tightly woven bamboo baskets, and when they arrive at the valley camp, they bind the stone leaves and wooden sticks with twine. up, you can craft stone spears and javelins for hunting.

Also packed into the bag were countless stone and bone arrow clusters.

Larger arrows were carried only in small numbers, in quiveres made of wood.

From the day he learned that he was going to attend the tribal meeting with the hunters, Xiao couldn't sit still with excitement.

He kept pestering the hunters to ask what to bring. A few days before departure, he couldn't wait to start packing things in his bamboo baskets, and took them out again the next day to repack them, repeating this several times.

"God! Do you think I have enough of these things?"

This was probably the hundredth time he asked a similar question, Zhang Tian had no choice but to answer him for the hundredth time: "That's enough, don't bring too many things, our hands must be reserved for the prey, if the hunters can hunt the mammoth, It will be very heavy to bring back."

Men carry weapons, tools and food on their backs, and women fill their water bags with pure water. Each woman only needs to carry two water bags, because there are streams along the road to supplement them, so they don’t have to worry about running out of water. In addition, they They also had to carry the sacrifices to Xue Ling on their backs.

If Zhang Tian and Xiao wanted to, they could go on the road empty-handed.

But as men who are about to grow up, both are happy to share some of the burden for adults.

So they carried pottery on their backs, mainly small pottery such as bowls, ladles, cups, etc., and one pot and one pot each. It is one of the traditional activities at the conference, so there is a point of going to the exhibition with a model to trick buyers into placing an order.

In contrast, Lin Yu needs to bring more things.

Zhang Tian found her in the wooden house and planned to help her share some luggage.

Lin Yu is assigning homework to Bai: "After I leave, you will be responsible for sorting and processing the herbs collected by the women. You put the newly sorted herbs on the bottom row of the shelf. I will check them when I come back. Did you do it right during this time, and see if you have remembered the knowledge taught to you.”

Bai patted his chest and promised: "Absolutely nothing will go wrong!"

Lin Yu rubbed her little head with a smile: "Okay, let's go back to the cave."

After Bai left, she asked Zhang Tian: "Is everything packed?"

"It's been collected early, and there are not many things in total. What about you? Do you want my help?"

"I'm fine too. It looks like a lot, but it's actually not heavy."

Lin Yu poured out the commonly used herbs from the bamboo tube, put them into a small bag no bigger than a palm, tied the mouth of the bag tightly with twine, and wrote the names of the corresponding herbs on the surface of the bag with charcoal to distinguish them.

Seeing Dr. Lin writing in Chinese, Zhang Tian smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid of being seen by others?"

"So what? Except you, who would understand these words? They will only think that they are strange symbols made by wizards."

She took out the herbal medicine bag, with eye-catching red lines painted on the outer surface of the bag, indicating that it is exclusive to wizards, and other people cannot take it at will, let alone use it to hold other things.

She put each small bag into the herbal medicine bag, a big bag was full, Zhang Tian picked it up, as she said, it looked like a lot, but it was actually light, like a bag of cotton.

Lin Yu was still wearing the brightly colored bird fur coat, such a conspicuous color is not good for hunting, men would definitely not wear it, but what she was wearing fit her unique status as a wizard.

In addition to the bird feather coat, she also put on a knitted sweater, long johns, and leather jackets and pants sewn from animal skins to resist the colder grassland climate than the hilly areas.

Hunters also put on thicker mammoth fur coats.

Hunting mammoths, especially adult ones, takes a bit of luck and isn't successful every year, but once it does, it's got enough pelts for new clothes for everyone in the tribe.

However, mammoth clothes are as bulky as mammoths, which seriously affect the running speed of men. They are not willing to wear them when hunting in warmer forests.

Zhang Tian and Xiao didn't add any more clothes, their bearskin coats were warm enough.

After the last hot breakfast, everyone who packed up said goodbye to grandma and fellow clansmen. Lin Yu hugged her catwoman and stroked its hair vigorously, as if wanting to make up for what was missing in the future today, muttering He said: "I'm leaving, you have to obediently listen to what your sisters say, do you hear me?"

The little lynx pressed its stiff paws against her overenthusiastic body and let out an impatient cry.

Zhang Tian said to Miao: "You can stay in our tribe during this period. When we come back, you can go back with your tribe."

Miao couldn't go to the tribal assembly. People in other tribes recognized him. After all, he was no longer young, and the risk of returning alone was too high. It was the safest choice to stay and wait for the tribe.

Miao also knew in his heart that he was fine, but an outsider would stay at home for more than ten days, and he didn't know what the master thought.

He looked at Grandma, asking for the opinion of the tribe's patriarch with his eyes.

Grandma nodded slightly, and Lan Hua smiled and said, "You can stay at ease, Tian and Xiao are gone, and we are still pointing at you to fish!"

Miao laughed happily, immediately picked up the fishing rod, and vowed: "I may not be able to do anything else, I am the best at fishing!"

Set off.

The hunting and gathering people who went into the mountains accompanied the traveling team to the ridge, stopped to send good wishes, and then watched them leave until they were completely hidden in the woods, and they turned and ran towards today. prey.
