Chapter 14 Finding the Address Finding the Salt Lake
Under a huge locust tree, five or six women gathered around a young man who covered their bodies with leaves.
The boy looked less than twenty years old, and he was thin and looked a little immature.
Although the five or six women were unkempt and dirty, they were all big and thick. The muscles on their bodies were relatively developed and not too old, but they gave people a sense of vicissitudes. At first glance, they were people who had experienced strong winds and rains.
The young man was Chen Dong, and the five or six women were naturally the patriarchs of the Yang tribe.
Chen Dong had been to Yangmen for a few days and was only familiar with Chief Liang, and he really didn't have much contact with these clan leaders.
When they were invited by Liang, they were already told what was going on. Chen Dong was in contact with them, and he was just explaining the benefits of moving and building houses in front of them.
In fact, the casualties this time are already very serious, and some problems are not needed to be explained by Chen Dong, and they can figure them out themselves.
Besides, it is self-evident that building a house can improve their quality of life by level. Without Chen Dong's words, they can think clearly. It's just a simple explanation, and the matter was finalized.
"Chief, all the clan leaders, building a house and living in a house cannot be accomplished overnight. The most urgent task now is to clear out the stones blocking the cave first so that everyone can have a place to live. As the weather is about to get colder, everyone in the clan also needs to keep warm and block the wind and snow."
These clan leaders knew nothing about what Chen Dong said, so naturally Chen Dong said that he would do what he would do.
Without objection, he leaned over and thanked Chen Dong.
Chen Dong felt a little guilty of this thank you. If it weren't for Guang and six others saving Chen Dong's life with their own sacrifice, then he was still thinking about how to go back and would never have thought about helping the people here improve their quality of life.
After being thanked by the Yang tribe's people regularly, Chen Dong felt embarrassed.
He helped Liang, who was closest to him, and said, "You don't have to wait like this. After a few days, the road is easier to walk. I will personally help you choose a suitable place and build the house there, so that your life will be better!"
Five days later, Chen Dong took Shaotong and others to find a suitable settlement address.
This address is not so easy to finalize.
First of all, you have to choose a closest to the water source. It is best to drink water as soon as you go out. After all, it is not easy to dig a well now. Secondly, you must ensure that the terrain is relatively high. You must not, after finally building the house, you will be destroyed by some natural disaster...
It is never easy to find a place where so many conditions are taken into account.
To a certain extent, the site selection work is even more difficult than building a house.
While Chen Dong went out to find a suitable settlement address, he ordered the big pig to grind bones and stone tools on a large scale to cut down trees and build houses.
To build the kind of house that Chen Dong ideally needs a lot of wood.
At this time, the tools are only stones and animal bones. To accomplish this, you not only need to cut down trees, but also cut the trees into appropriate shapes.
If this matter is modern and mechanical, it may be easier, but in this era when there is nothing to do, you still have to prepare early.
As the saying goes, sharpening a knife will not delay chopping wood? If the tools are put on, it may be able to improve efficiency.
Chen Dong was wearing straw sandals, tied leaves around his waist, and more than a dozen people from the Yang tribe, such as Shaotong, were walking up the river.
Chen Dong also asked the Yang tribe whether there were rivers around the people, but none of them knew about it.
Now these people in the Yang tribe do not have a large range of activities. It is abnormal to know that they are not allowed to do so. Chen Dong could only walk up the river, the water was going up high, and the river was going up. The terrain must be higher.
In a few days, he didn't know how many pairs of straw sandals he had worn out.
Fortunately, he had the foresight and replaced his clothes early.
He was still going to wear that piece of clothing. He couldn't wear this leaf back, and he wouldn't be treated as a lunatic.
Although Shaotong is not very smart, it can be done well if someone commands it with his own eyes.
Chen Dong has saved a lot of effort with him these days, and he is very grateful to Chen Dong for being a young man.
"Immortal, Immortal, come and see!" The person walking in the front shouted at Chen Dong.
Chen Dong looked up and saw that the vast white area was like a small hill.
"Immortal, it's not cold this day. Why are there so many snowflakes? They are piled up into small hills?" Shaotong asked in confusion.
Chen Dong had never seen this thing before, and could not answer the question of Shaotong. He hurriedly ran over and picked up a handful and let him drift away with the wind. He held it in his hand and still had a hard hand.
It looks like it is salt.
Looking from the distance between these small hills, there is still a rippling lake water floating in the shimmering lake, and you can't even see it at all.
Looking at this posture again, it looks like a salt lake.
After gaining some confidence in this thing, Chen Dong carefully dipped it a little with his fingers and put it in his mouth with great caution. When his tongue touched the substance, Chen Dong felt more at ease.
Salty! It's really salt.
"You Yang tribes often come out to hunt, but you didn't find this place?" Chen Dong asked Xiang Shaotong, but Shaotong had just followed Chen Dong and couldn't answer his question.
The young pig could not answer, and a young man from the Yang tribe answered positively, "In the past, when we went out to hunt, we went to the forest, and no one had ever walked on the river!"
"Well, you have never been here in the upper reaches of the Yang tribe, so the other tribes in the lower reaches of the Liuhe River will definitely not have been here, right?"
Chen Dong's question made the boy not react at the first time and stammered: "Yes, right?"
Chen Dong did not expect to get any exact answer from the boy, so he did not take the boy's answer intently.
"Haha... God treats me, Chen Dong, really good. I have sent such a big piece of cake in just a few days."
"Immortal, what is this?" Shaotong asked.
"Tell you, this is a good thing. Let's go and invite your chief here immediately!"
