Chapter 35 A Yue
Ye Sen appeared at the entrance of the cave again and helped Lin Shu hold the woman: "Come in."
Seeing that there seemed to be no obvious wound on him, Lin Shu secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "What happened? Is there a wild beast inside?"
"Well, there is a python inside." Ye Sen said lightly, "I have already killed it."
"Bys!" Lin Shu was stunned. Fortunately, Ye Sen was experienced and did not let her go directly in, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
"I'm sorry, I, I didn't know there would be a python inside. There wasn't one when I was young..." The woman who had been silent spoke again.
She seemed very afraid of being considered bad by Lin Shu and Yesen as having bad intentions, and kept explaining: "Really, believe me. When I was a child, there were no pythons inside."
"It's okay, we believe you," Lin Shu patted her arm and comforted her.
Ye Sen didn't say much, and helped the woman into the cave with Lin Shu, one left and one right.
The light inside the cave was not very good, because the entrance to the cave was basically blocked by vines, and I could only vaguely see the situation inside.
Lin Shu suddenly entered such a dim place from a bright place outside. Her eyes adapted for a long time before she could slowly see the objects normally.
The three of them walked inside and found a python's corpse in the cave.There was a faint smell of snake fishy smell in the cave, but fortunately it was tolerated.
Lin Shu put down the woman and the basket, stepped forward to check the python, and found that the python was as thick as a volleyball. She estimated that she could only hold the snake with four hands together.
"A python is so thick! Ye Sen, are you injured?" Lin Shu quickly turned around and asked Ye Sen about his condition.
"I bumped into the mountain wall, but nothing happened."
"Where did you hit? I'll check it for you. If you suffer internal injuries, it will be troublesome." Lin Shu was still worried. The noise of hitting the mountain wall just now was so loud, and she felt that it must not be as simple as Ye Sen said.
Ye Sen was a little helpless, but pointed to his shoulder and said, "Here, I blocked it with my hands."
Lin Shu leaned forward to check and asked Ye Sen to move his arm. Fortunately, he didn't find any serious problems, just ordinary bruises.
Lin Shu was completely relieved: "Then how to deal with this python?"
"Take the skin back and eat it with the meat." Ye Sen said that, "Snake skin can be used to make very cool summer clothes, and it is rare to be such a big piece."
Lin Shu nodded, turned to look at the woman sitting quietly by the side, and pointed to herself: "I haven't introduced myself yet, I am Lin Shu." She pointed to Yesen, who was peeling the snakeskin, "He is Yesen, we are from the Sen tribe."
"Sen Tribe?" The woman was a little confused.
"Yes, Sen Tribe, our newly acquired tribe name," Lin Shu explained openly, "Who are you? Why do the cannibals have to send so many people to arrest you?"
Most people are captured by cannibals, and even if they run away, they should not have such a big battle.
"I..." The woman was silent and hesitated.
Lin Shu didn't urge her and waited patiently.
"My name is Ayue, and they snatched it back. Their patriarch asked me to be his spouse, so I found an opportunity to escape." The woman finally plucked up the courage.
"?!" What a good guy, his origin is not simple.
"The search outside will not end in the first half of the time. We will stay here for a while." Ye Sen frowned and concluded.
Since they have to stay here for a long time, the entrance of the cave they are now is not very suitable. Once someone lifts the vines, they can immediately see them at the entrance of the cave.
The group decided to move the position deep inside the cave.
Although this is a deep cave, you can still feel the passage of air flow in this cave, and this cave should also connect to other cave entrances.
The few people didn't go too far, and after turning a corner, they settled down.Here we can ensure that others will not find them as soon as they come in. The space is quite large and there is air circulation.
Ye Sen had already taken care of the snake skin and snake flesh at this time. He said to Lin Shu, "I'll go out and wash it. Pick up some firewood by the way, you're waiting here."
Lin Shu was thinking about going out to find something to help Ayue fix the broken bones to avoid the bone displacement caused by external force to cause secondary damage, so she quickly raised her hand and said, "I'll go with you."
She also wanted to boil some water to drink. The stone pot was too bulky and difficult to carry, so Lin Shu took out all the arrows in the quiver and planned to put them in the quiver and return them.
The two settled down Ayue and left the cave together.
Yesen first went to find the water source.Although he had never been here, he quickly found the location of the water source with his understanding of the mountains and forests.
The water source here is not a common river before, but a small lake with various plants growing around the lake and surrounded by tightly surrounded.
The two finally found a lake shore. When Lin Shu saw that the water was clear, she felt relieved to fill it with a quakes of water.
Yesen washed away the snake skin, snake flesh and blood on his hands, got up and prepared to leave to pick up some firewood.
But the moment he got up, Lin Shu found some tiny white particles on his shoulders, and leaned forward and said, "It seems that there is something dirty on your shoulders, I'll pat you clean."
Ye Sen turned his head and looked at it, explaining, "It may have just hit the stone wall and touched it."
Lin Shu twisted the tiny white particles with her hands, and suddenly she was blessed to her heart and had a bold idea in her heart.
She put the white particles on her fingers into her mouth and tasted them carefully-salty!It's indeed salt!
Ye Sen's expression was a bit strange when he saw her doing such an action.But Lin Shu didn't have the heart to pay attention to these things. She was excited to jump up: "It's salt! Yesen, we have salt!"
"Salt?" Ye Sen was stunned and also dipped in some white particles and tasted it. The faint salty taste melted in his mouth. It was really salt!
Because of the scarcity of salt, only the salt tribe can produce salt, and their family monopolized the source of salt in all tribes.
In the past, every year, tribes had to prepare a large amount of animal skin to exchange for salt tribes. The number of animal skins needed to exchange for salt was increasing, and the requirements were also increasing. Even the animal skin salt tribes with slightly worse skins were not needed.The matter of changing salt has become a huge burden for every tribe.
Now they have discovered another source of salt. As long as the amount is sufficient, they will no longer have to worry about changing salt!
It’s really a blessing to have a misfortune. If they hadn’t been kind enough to take A Yue to avoid the search of the cannibals, they wouldn’t know if they could have discovered this treasure cave!
Lin Shu wanted to rush back to the cave immediately to see how much salt there was inside. Ye Sen was calmer and grabbed Lin Shu and said, "Don't be anxious, the cave cannot run away. We have other things to do when we come out."
After saying something, Lin Shu's emotions gradually calmed down. Yes, she also wanted to help A Yue find the right wood to fix the calf.
Restraining his excitement, the two divided their labour and picked up firewood, herbs and fixed wood, cut some vines as ropes, and finally returned to the cave with a bunch of things.
