"If you are really willing to stay with Yuchuan and not abandon him, I can hunt for you." Nanshan said seriously. He lowered his head slightly, raised his hand and clenched his fist, placing the fist on his chest. This was his promise to Lu Xiaoxiao.

It was amazing that an orc who was not a partner was willing to hunt for a strange female. He was undoubtedly Yuchuan's good brother, but Lu Xiaoxiao never had any ill will towards him, and she would not express anything because of his promise to "provide her with food and drink". She said, "I don't need your things. I never have any ill will towards Yuchuan."

It's just that the guy is too defensive, like a cowardly little leopard. It's a pity that we can't catch him.

"You are you, and I am me." Nanshan has made up his mind.

"Then I advise you not to do that. If Yuchuan finds out that you're sending me meat, he'll just think you like me, and then we'll just be staring at each other in the face." Lu Xiaoxiao smiled, "If you really feel bad about it, then think of ways to create opportunities for him and me?"

Start with your friends, and sooner or later Xiao Chuan Chuan will be put into the bowl.

But for better living conditions, Lu Xiaoxiao will be very busy recently, so she should make things clear first: "I have to discuss salt production with the priest recently. Young man... Nanshan, although feelings are important, you have to work hard on your career. With salt, we can store more food, and fewer people will die during the rainy season."

"Salt can be used to store food?" Nanshan's attention was quickly diverted. The beasts in the world are full of love, but when it comes to serious matters, everyone is very sober. "Are you willing to teach this method to the tribe?"

The more Nanshan looked at Lu Xiaoxiao, the more he felt that she was a freak. If an ordinary person had this method, they would definitely keep it secret and not tell anyone, or even use this method to gain benefits from the tribe. But not only did she not ask for benefits, she even... did it all for a male.

Oh, damn it.

He's a little jealous, what should I do? !

He no longer had many doubts about the fact that Lu Xiaoxiao liked Yuchuan. He thought that Lu Xiaoxiao, as a female, was really strange!

"Of course, you are fine, and I am fine too." After experiencing the destruction of her original family, Lu Xiaoxiao deeply understood that only a strong team can survive in this world where the strong prey on the weak.

Why is it that the neighboring Haihe tribe has such a domineering reputation and is tough on the outside, even going so far as to say that they will attack anyone they dislike, and no other tribe dares to attack them?

The Black Feather Tribe is the only tribe nearby that can compete with the Haihe Tribe. She only hopes that the tribe will become strong and does not want herself to become a "trophy" again.

She was lucky to escape the first time, but she didn't know if she would be lucky enough the next time.

Nanshan looked at her deeply, his dark blue eyes carrying a hint of emotion that Lu Xiaoxiao did not understand. Anyway, he probably understood what she meant.

"You're very different."

"Thank you. Remember to say a few good words for me in front of Yuchuan when you have the chance." Before they knew it, Lu Xiaoxiao and he had returned to the tribe. She smiled slightly, turned around and went to the cave beside the altar to find the priest.

Nanshan stared at her back for a long time before leaving in another direction.

Neither of them noticed that there was a figure behind the tree watching them.

"Okay." The priest held the bamboo tube excitedly. The salt inside was actually whiter than that of the goat tribe or even the sea tribe. He couldn't imagine how happy everyone would be if they could live in a tribe that used salt freely!

"You have made great contributions to the tribe. I will tell everyone about your achievements and record your name in the tribe's history."

Lu Xiaoxiao smiled but said nothing.

She is just standing on the shoulders of giants.

The priest looked at the salt with cherishment, pinched a little and put it in his mouth, frowned and then relaxed: "It is indeed salt."

"I suggest building a simple shed in a safe place, processing the salt there, and then bringing it back." Lu Xiaoxiao made her own suggestion, "And send a bunch of people to catch fish, I want to dry the fish."

"fish?"

"Spiny beast?" Lu Xiaoxiao was not sure what everyone called those fish. Crabs were also called pinchers, which was cute.

"Sure. That thing is hard to catch. Everyone likes to catch prey." Lu Xiaoxiao has made such a great contribution to the tribe. It is completely reasonable to ask the males to catch some fish for her. Everyone will definitely be willing to do so.

"Is the weather okay recently?"

The priest nodded with a smile: "I'll send someone right away. Do you want to take Yuchuan with you?"

Lu Xiaoxiao thought about it and shook her head: "This is business. Next time if I need it, I will ask for your help."

Yuchuan can't play with everyone anyway, so asking him to go would only increase his psychological burden.

The priest's eyes, which seemed to be able to see through people easily, narrowed slightly, with a hint of smile: "Okay."

"Does our tribe already have written language?" The priest just mentioned that it would be recorded in the tribal history books. Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but be curious.

"Text...? Easy to describe." The priest stood up and took a thick sheepskin from a stone wall. "Our ancestors would record the important events of the tribe on this sheepskin for the younger generations to know. When everyone encounters difficulties, they can use this sheepskin that carries the spirit of their ancestors."

His hands slowly unfolded the yellowed sheepskin. Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes trembled slightly. This was really too shocking.

This roll of sheepskin was very large. If it was fully unfolded, it would be at least five meters long and about three meters wide. It was decorated with rich colors to outline some people, animals, plants, and things that she couldn't understand. There were even patterns similar to cuneiform.

What shocked Lu Xiaoxiao was not just these, but the traces of the lives of our ancestors beneath these patterns.

The priest stared at Lu Xiaoxiao, who had a slightly surprised look on her face. There were complicated emotions in her eyes. He claimed to have met a lot of people, but he didn't quite understand what kind of past this female had.

"I think I understand." Lu Xiaoxiao didn't know cuneiform, so she couldn't write down the salt-making process to the priest. She said, "How about this? I'll orally tell you the salt-making process."

"Thank you very much. If you are interested, you can learn the writing of our tribe." In the past, the Black Feather Tribe had no concept of "writing". At most, they would say "write it down". The priest read for a while and felt that it was appropriate to use these two words to represent the pattern of the tribe's description, so he also used this word.

"Me?" Lu Xiaoxiao was surprised. "Shouldn't this only be passed on to priests and clan leaders?"

In the ancient tribal culture, in the long river of history long, long ago, writing and knowledge were in the hands of people at the top of the pyramid. Especially in the mysterious ancient times, in the strong belief and worship, patterns and the ability to interpret patterns were controlled (set) by priests or wizards. She was just an ordinary person, and an outsider, but he was willing to... ?

"Why not?" The priest looked at the parchment scroll, his eyes full of admiration for the ancestor, as well as compassion and concern. "The ancestor once successfully delivered a message in front of the enemy. This was because he and his people mastered writing, which is also a kind of ability."

Lu Xiaoxiao quickly calmed down, but did not say clearly whether she would learn or not. Instead, she cleared her throat and began to describe the process of salt making.

After Lu Xiaoxiao left, the priest was still staring at the scroll. His slightly rough hands slowly stroked the story that narrated the information conveyed by the ancestors.

He did not tell Lu Xiaoxiao that the message conveyed by the ancestors saved dozens of hills and forests, but he and his partner and cubs disappeared forever in the war.
