Chapter 7: Salt mining (2)

Li Feng and Ruo were chatting all the way. Ruo was mostly talking about Li Feng. Sometimes he would also say something. Ruo would look on enviously at the baby in Li Feng's arms, and then he would talk about how to weave baskets, but his topics were mainly about Bu.

It had been a long way, and Li Feng went all the way to observe and found a lot of common wild vegetables and wild fruits that he could eat. From time to time, he picked several wild vegetables and wild fruits. However, he picked them on two roads and ate them. He didn't want to fill his basket before he even got to the salt site. He waited to come back and pick them. However, there were not many fruit trees on the way, only a few of them were not so good... What sweet wild fruits, and these were not enough for many people to pick.

"Hey, when we go to the fruit forest over there, you can also help me to pack a little. I can pack a lot in my hide." Ruo rubbed against Li Feng's side and touched Li Feng's shoulder with his shoulder. "I will help you carry it. You can take Bao Bei, okay?"

Li Feng looked at Ruo, who was worried about rejection, with a funny face. "Sure, but won't it be too heavy then?" This basket looked small, but it could really hold a lot of things. After all, it was very deep.

"Don't worry. I'm sure it won't. I'm strong." Ruo smiled happily.

They soon arrived at the site where the salt rocks were. There were lots of salt rocks everywhere. Some of them had been broken and the people of the tribe swarmed over. Since so many people came, they scared away the animals that came here to eat salt. So now, they were the only people there.

Li Feng wrapped Bao Bei up with the skin around his chest, and then stooped down to pick up a salt stone. There were many salt stones there. Maybe it was because long-term winds blew over the area and the sun and rain pounded on the area, so the salt stones that were originally buried in the ground were exposed. It was easier for them, or they wouldn't be able to find it at all. If there was no salt, would they become a white haired girl? Anyway, he couldn't drink blood. Fortunately, he found salt.

In fact, there was enough salt on the ground for him to eat. He was afraid that, with so many people, they would not have enough to use it in the future. He picked up a few big and crystal salt stones and stopped, which was enough for them to use for a long time. However, many of them had been picked up by the clan. If the clan leader didn't say that he would go to pick fruit, Li Feng was afraid that some people would have picked up more.

Li also picked up a few large pieces and put them into Li Feng's basket. Li Feng felt that his shoulders were heavy and then became light. He saw that Li was trying to take the basket and carry it on his back. Unfortunately, it was on his back with straps made of cane and was still on Li Feng's shoulder, so Li didn't succeed.

"I'll carry it. It's heavy. Just hold Bao Bei." Li Feng was seldom around someone so considerate. Feng had just had a baby so he didn't need to be burdened. Recently, Feng had been quite indifferent to Li. As soon as he got close to Feng, he was a little stiff. As a result, he had to stay away from him and try not to stick it very close. After giving birth to a child, why did Feng change? Did he forget his husband when he had the child? Li didn't understand!

Li Feng didn't refuse. He was a long-time resident, but he hadn't done any heavy work for a long time. What's more, the body was not strong now and was already a little thin and weak. It was even weaker after having the baby. He had been gasping on the way here. Since someone helped him, he was also happy. Besides, Bao Bei in his arms needed him to take care of him. It was uncomfortable to carry the basket on his back. But this body was really weak. It was much worse than his previous life. It was shriveled and pale without any flesh.

Li was carrying the basket on his back and he didn't feel it was heavy, so he picked up a few pieces and put them in the basket. Li Feng's eyes stared. He didn't need to pick up so many. Wasn't it really heavy? Although it's salt, it's also a stone?

However, again, the more they were able to pick up, they wouldn't need to come again next time. If they encountered any wild animals, they'd be in danger. Now there were many people, it didn't matter. Pick more, pick more.

Li Feng was afraid that the fruit he wanted wouldn't be able to be taken back. He had made this back basket so that he could bring back more but he didn't know what fruits and vegetables were in the area.

Under the leadership of the clan elder, the clansmen no longer picked up fruit, but wrapped them in animal skins and walked directly to the direction of the fruit forest. There were more fruits in the forest there. Since there was salt here, there were no plants, so the salt stones would be exposed to the rain.

It seemed that there should be a lot of these salt stones. Since they could be washed out of the surface, it proved that there were more underground. It seemed that they didn't need to worry about eating salt in the future. Although it was not by the sea, it was enough to eat it for a long time. It was possible that they couldn't finish it in tens of thousands of years. Of course, people would exist until then.

Li Feng held Bao Bei, who was asleep and dripping saliva. He wanted to grind the salt before going back. When cooking meat that day, it took him a lot of effort to smash enough salt to cook meat. The tools here were too simple.

"Hey, Feng, why are you so cold to Li? What's the matter? Is your desire not satisfied? Or Li can't satisfy you? " Ruo looked at the distance between Li Feng and Li, left Bu and ran to Li Feng.

"Go away... What a messy head! I'm not you thinking about these things all day long."

Li Feng had a black face. This boy was really straightforward and said whatever he thought, a forthright person. He couldn't let him talk to the simpleminded Li. "I'm thinking about how to make the basket better. Then I was going to teach you! I won't teach you if you say more."

"Ah, don't. Don't! No! Don't say no!" Ruo begged for mercy. He hadn't learned anything yet. "But, tell me the truth, what's wrong with you? You're weird!"

Li Feng just looked at him, then he walked forward with Bao Bei. He followed behind Li, he really did not know how to answer.

Ruo was scratching his head. What's wrong? What did he say wrong? Those eyes looked strange. However, looking at the backs of Li and Feng, step in step, they matched perfectly. That's good. They looked very warm. How could they feel strange? Did they read it wrong and make Feng angry? I'd better apologize to Feng later!
