Dressed as a super rare female, being chased and pampered by the big guys

Xiaoli and Yanyan also looked puzzled.

They only saw the mountains, rivers, trees, flowers, and various animals, but didn't they see the mountains of white salt blocks?

It was like a basin of cold water was poured over one's head, diluting the joyful atmosphere.

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Although they felt that Nian Tu would not deliberately lie and might have just seen it wrong, they still couldn't help feeling disappointed.

"See? The salt is right there," Nian Tu raised his hand and pointed to a light blue lake, breaking everyone's depressed mood.

She wasn't surprised by their reaction.

Before this, they had never seen a salt lake with their own eyes. In the primitive tribe with little information, many things were not common sense to them. The tribe that owned the salt mines would not tell outsiders about the resources they depended on for survival. Naturally, they didn't know where the salt came from.

"There is salt in the sea water, there may be salt under the surface, and there is also salt in the salt lake," Nian Tu patiently explained to them, pointing to the salt lake, "The salt in this lake is enough for our tribe to be self-sufficient."

Given the size of the wolf tribe, even if they reproduce for a few more generations, they can still rely on this lake to survive.

The patriarch was stunned when he heard this.

Xiaoli and Yanyan were more straightforward, looking up at Nian Tu with admiring eyes, "Niannian, you really know a lot!"

"Have you ever seen the sea?"

They had heard people from other tribes talk about the sea at the big trade fair, but they couldn't imagine what it looked like. When Nian Tu talked about this, his tone was very calm, as if he knew all about these things.

Lu Zhan also turned his head to look at Nian Tu.

Seeing her nod, his heart suddenly tightened.

I heard that the sea is very far away.

So... Nian Nian also came from far away...

"There are many delicious things in the sea, and they are different from those caught in the river." Seeing Xiaoli and Yanyan's curiosity, Nian Tu started talking, "There are not only fish, shrimp, crab, snail, shellfish and other animals, but also seaweed such as kelp and seaweed, which are abundant in yield and can be stored for a long time..."

"Ah! I think I know!" Yanyan jumped up, "I saw dried seaweed at the Grand Trade Fair!"

She wanted to try it, but it was too expensive. After much hesitation, she still couldn't bear to buy it.

"Next time you can buy some to try," Nian Tu smiled and touched her head.

It must take a long time to travel from the seaside to the trading market, so it is normal that things are expensive. It is not cost-effective to exchange meat, but it is very suitable to exchange pottery.

The little fox sharpened his claws and secretly swallowed his saliva.

She is not very interested in sea vegetables, but very interested in seafood.

From today on, she will save bone coins! Save resources! She can also sell her jewelry! She must taste those things this year!

While they were chatting, the large group had already approached the lake.

The lake water is clear and sparkling, with a large number of white crystals solidified on the shore, and some swaying with the water flow.

After seeing all this, the tribe leader's eyes suddenly lit up. He couldn't help but pounce on it, picked up a crystal and put it into his mouth.

Salty!!

It's really salt!!!

He took a big mouthful of salt, which was so salty that it tasted bitter. The chief's face wrinkled involuntarily, but he was reluctant to spit out the salt water in his mouth.

They would have to exchange a lot of meat for such a small piece of salt. The tribes selling salt never looked down on wild fruits and vegetables, and they would only trade with them if they offered meat or potions.

Without enough salt to eat, they have no strength, so even if the price rises excessively, they have no choice but to obey.

And now, their tribe also has salt! They no longer have to look at those guys' faces!

The patriarch laughed loudly towards the sky and let out a wolf howl of ecstasy.

The wolves responded one after another, their voices echoing throughout the valley, startling all the birds and animals. The little fox also tilted his neck and whined like a wolf.

Nian Tu couldn't help but feel itchy, so he took the opportunity to rub her furry face.

"This territory is ours! From now on, we will settle here!" The patriarch looked around and made the final decision.

The mountains are endless and the new territory is wide and vast. Surrounding the most important salt lakes and water sources, there are many naturally formed caves that allow them to continue their previous living habits.

People spent half a day settling down, then set out to hunt impatiently.

Since the avalanche, almost all the animals on the other side of the mountain fled. Their lives were very difficult. They could only successfully hunt once every few days. If they could not catch fresh prey, they had to dig food buried in the snow. Even if everyone went out at the same time, they could not always get a harvest. Most of the time they were hungry and had to eat snow to fill their stomachs.

The world on this side of the mountain is completely different from the world on the other side.

There were herds of cattle and sheep and hares running everywhere. It was like a dream.

The hunting party soon reaped some rewards.

Several wolf cubs in the tribe that were almost starving to death also regained their vitality under the stimulation of the new environment. They cheered up and imitated the hunting team, chasing and blocking the prey. They actually succeeded in catching a pheasant. They rolled on the ground with joy, holding their heads high and looking for Nian Tu with the pheasant in their mouths, "Niannian, this, we caught it! Give it to you!"

Nian Tu was setting up a clay pot and boiling salt by the lake.

Seeing a group of gray and dirty little kids, she couldn't help but smile and waved at them.

The little wolf cubs immediately swarmed to her side, and she rubbed them one by one until they were humping and lying on their backs.

While playing, Nian Tu simply wiped their bodies with leaves to remove the dust and dirt on their bodies.

"This is for you!" The cubs had not forgotten their business yet. They wagged their tails and stuffed the pheasant into Nian Tu's hands in a flattering manner.

It was Nian Tu who led them to migrate and found such a good new territory for them. Their parents often taught them to remember Nian Tu's kindness.

Even if adults don't teach them, they understand it themselves.

Once a cub sets his mind on something, he is often very persistent. Nian Tu did not refuse their gift, and took the half-dead pheasant in his hand, "I'll make you a beggar's chicken later."

"...What is beggar's chicken?" Xiaoli appeared at some point and said faintly, "I want to eat it, too."

“Okay,” Nian Tu poked her head helplessly, “Go catch another chicken and I’ll cook it for you. Don’t compete with the cubs.”

She stood up and looked around, and found that all the people in the tribe had come and were gathering by the lake to salvage salt blocks.

"It's best not to eat the salt directly after you fish it out," she pointed at the bubbling pottery jar and said in a gentle voice, "The salt has a lot of impurities. It's better to boil it and filter it before eating."

It seems a little too late to ask everyone to boil and dry salt today.

She has saved up a lot of cooked and dried salt blocks over the past few days, and placed them in a bamboo basket next to her along with other seasonings and cooking utensils.

Nian Tu took out a few of the largest pottery jars from the bamboo basket and said, "Let me cook today."

Everyone had a good meal together to celebrate their finding a new home and their new life.

"Great!" Xiaoli was the first to agree with this suggestion, "Broth! Let's make some broth!"

She was obsessed with the bowl of meat soup that Nian Tu had fed her before, and even dreamed about the taste from time to time.

The clan leader took two steps back without making a sound, quietly moving away from the greedy cat, feeling a little embarrassed for her.

To be honest, he also wanted to drink the broth cooked by Nian Tu. After such a long time, he could still clearly recall the rich aroma.

But as soon as Nian Tu took out the pottery jar, his attention was immediately drawn to it. He leaned in to take a closer look, his eyes widened in surprise.

“This, this thing…”
