Traveling through time and space to meet a replacement bride? But I’m a man!

After dinner.

After being reminded once again that they were not allowed to go hunting in the mountains alone, they were allowed to go back to the house to sleep.

Xu Wenyan was leaning in the corner thinking about something, and Chen Sanlin slowly crawled over.

"Wife, what you said today, shall we do it now?"

Hearing this, Xu Wenyan stretched out his foot and pressed it against Chen Sanlin's forehead: "What's the matter?"

"Bridal chamber." Chen Sanlin grabbed Xu Wenyan's ankle and kissed her.

Xu Wenyan's face immediately became red, and he wondered how this guy could be so smart: "Wait, wait two days, I'm not ready yet. Besides, your leg is still injured."

"it is good."

Chen Sanlin smiled, and leaned against the wall with Xu Wenyan, resting his head on his shoulder: "What are you thinking about?"

"We just have to look for a salt mine nearby. The oil is okay. The three heads of lard squeezed today are enough for several months. But we have to use less salt." Xu Wenyan looked worried. If they really couldn't find salt, they would have to take the risk and go out.

Edible salt mainly supplements the sodium in the human body. Some plant species also contain sodium, but the content is small. In comparison, animals contain more sodium.

As long as there are enough prey, they can live here forever, but this is not a long-term solution, and no one can guarantee that they can catch prey every day.

If you eat too much meat, you need to eat a lot of plants to neutralize it in order to maintain a healthy body. This is also one of the reasons why the average life span of ancient people was short.

Some people in rural areas don’t even eat salt for half a year, and having a pale face and thin body is considered good.

Seeing Xu Wenyan's hesitation, Chen Sanlin hugged him and said, "It's okay. I'll accompany you wherever you go."

"Ah."

Xu Wenyan looked at the person next to him and smiled. Maybe this is the meaning of a partner's existence.

Autumnal equinox.

In addition to Chen Sanlin and a few other men, they went to the opposite mountain to look for salt rock or mineral salt. At the very least, they just got familiar with the surrounding terrain.

I've been here for half a year and have only been walking around in these mountains without going deeper, so it would be good to explore a bit.

Everyone walked forward in heavy armor, and when they passed the small cave, Xu Wenyan remembered what had happened here before.

The more I think about it, the more ashamed I feel. I wonder how I could have said such disgusting words. It's even more disgusting than being drunk.

What a shame.

"Wen Yan, how should we go?" Zhou Jianye looked down and saw that they were now halfway up the mountain.

"Let's go to the side, mainly to look at the rocks and caves on the side."

He went back to the cave where he had lived before and found no stones like salt blocks inside. However, Xu Wenyan still kept chiseling without giving up.

Leaving the cave and continuing to move sideways, there are many trees growing at the bottom of the mountainside, and all the way to the mountainside it seems like there is a fault, it is all rocks.

Xiaohu was walking in the front, and at this time he slowly squatted down and said, "Brother Xu, there is a lot of sheep manure here."

"Just follow it."

Goats will lick the salt on the rocks. If you see goats licking rocks, it is most likely a salt mine.

Xu Wenyan was walking along the mountain when he suddenly slipped. Fortunately, Zhou Jianye caught him.

If I fall down, I will be crippled if not dead.

"Everyone, be careful." Zhou Jianye reminded from behind: "You can walk slowly, but watch your step."

Looking down, Xu Wenyan felt a surge of fear in his heart again. The mountain was almost at a 90-degree angle, and there were dry trees below. Just looking at it for a few seconds made him feel dizzy.

Look, the sheep can even climb up vertically.

Um, sheep?

Xu Wenyan stuck his head down again and saw a dozen sheep climbing up the mountain. The special structure of their hooves enabled them to climb mountains with an angle of 89 degrees. As long as it was not completely vertical, they could climb.

This is also one of their ways to avoid predators. It is rare to see animals as good at swimming among rocks as they are.

"Second uncle, there are sheep below." Xu Wenyan called out in a low voice.

Everyone else lowered their heads, and their ability to climb walls and fly over rooftops was displayed to the fullest.

Even if you occasionally fail, you can stop in time on the other slope instead of falling down directly.

At this time, the sheep were also looking at everyone in confusion, as if to say, "Is this where you can come up?"

"Let's wait for a while, maybe they will start looking for salt mines." Several people waited on the cliff, but the sheep were not panicked at all.

He just stared at everyone with wide eyes, and when he got bored, he lowered his head to chew some hay.

He ate and looked at everyone with confusion.

After waiting for half an hour, Xu Wenyan looked hungry.

I can't stand it.

Xu Wenyan took Chen Sanlin's hunting bow from his back. He had played with this thing in the university club, but it was not as difficult to pull.

It was not until he pulled the hunting bow that Xu Wenyan could truly feel how powerful Chen Sanlin was. From aiming to shooting, Xu Wenyan's left hand holding the bow was not very steady.

Although the arrow missed the fatal target, it still managed to hit the hind leg of a goat.

The goat that was shot lost its balance and fell straight off the cliff.

The flock of sheep were frightened and fled in all directions in an instant.

"Brother Xu, the sheep have fallen down." Xiaohu was a little panicked, because the foot of the mountain was not close to here.

Xu Wenyan just nodded and said, "Uncle Jianye, you and Brother Xingjie go down and look for it first. Xiaohu and I will stay here and observe for a while."

"Well, be careful."

The salt mine is amber in color, although a little darker, it should be easy to recognize. Xu Wenyan's eyes wandered over the rocks until his eyes became a little tired.

"Forget it, let's go, Huzi."

Xu Wenyan knew that the longer they stayed here, the more dangerous it would be. Even animals that lived here all year round would make mistakes, let alone humans.

When walking back, Xu Wenyan discovered that there were many brown inflorescence axes on the trees on the edge of the cliff, some of which looked like tree branches.

The end of the infructescence axis bears black seeds.

This is the jujube, also known as chicken claw pear.

The infructescence axis is thick and rich in sugar, and can be used to make wine and sugar.

The amazing thing is that the seeds of the jujube tree are a great way to sober up, and are also useful for vomiting, fever, thirst, etc.

If Xu Wenyan hadn't taken a careful look, he would have really mistaken it for a branch. Xu Wenyan reached out and broke off a branch.

"Yes." Xu Wenyan handed a string to Xiaohu.

Xiaohu learned his lesson this time and watched Xu Wenyan eat first.

Xu Wenyan smiled and really wanted to kick him. He peeled off the fruit axis, put it in his mouth and tasted it. The jujube was not fully ripe yet. Although it was sweet, it had a slightly astringent taste.

Overall, not bad.

"Brother Xu, why are these branches so sweet?" Xiaohu said with a grin, thinking that Xu Wenyan picked too few.

"It's not sweet yet. It will taste good after the frost falls. Then we can pick it."

Since Xu Wenyan said so, Xiaohu could only nod and agree.

After searching for a while after going down the mountain, the two finally found Zhou Jianye and Chen Xingjie dragging two goats.

The four of them went back together.

The search for salt was fruitless.
