Chapter 178 There might be a surprise
Su Nuan put the parchment scroll away first, then she went out and stood at the stilt house to watch.
A group of bull riders, armed with weapons made of bone and stone, were fighting with the tribesmen.
Apparently, the people in the tribe were not strong enough. They fell to the ground after being hit by the other party's cow and then hit by the hammer.
The people from the distant mountain tribe cheered and beat people everywhere, and some even pulled the woman onto the back of a cow and tried to take her away.
Seeing that they were so ruthless and were bullying "their own people", Su Nuan immediately took out her bow and arrow and shot several times.
She shouted, "Chop off the cow's legs, stab the cow's stomach, and take the man down and beat him to death!"
"Women, pick up the weapons next to you and hit the enemies on the head. If they don't die, you will die!"
The conflict between tribes is a fight between life and death, so we must not be lenient towards invaders.
Originally, Su Nuan was crowned the goddess by the chief. When she took the lead in the battle, everyone's blood was mobilized, and both men and women fought madly.
The people of the distant mountain tribe had never seen such fierce resistance. They began to retreat. Someone shouted something, and the leader brought his men and then led the others to escape.
Su Nuan narrowed his eyes, drew his bow and shot an arrow, knocking the leader down directly.
The rest of the people had no determination to fight to the death and fled as fast as dogs that had lost their homes.
Su Nuan shot a few more arrows, but this time he didn't shoot at people, but at cows.
Are you kidding? How can we let go of so many walking pieces of beef jerky?
The people who fell because of the injured cattle also ran away very fast. I guess they won’t come back in the short term.
The chief patted Su Nuan excitedly and said, "You are worthy of being a goddess. This is the first time we have repelled the enemy so quickly."
Su Nuan didn't have time to exchange pleasantries with the chief. She said, "Let's check on the wounded first."
The chief immediately made some body gestures, but Su Nuan didn't understand and didn't want to bother to figure it out.
The people in the tribe placed the wounded in front of the stilt house.
Su Nuan checked them one by one and found that the most serious injury was a fracture. After all, the stone hammers from the Yuanshan tribe were quite powerful.
Fortunately, there was no danger to their lives. Su Nuan treated them and told them some precautions.
She stood up and wanted to check on the cows. This was all fresh meat, something she hadn't eaten for a long time.
The chief followed Su Nuan closely like a ghost. She saw that Su Nuan was running so fast that she could hardly keep up.
She shouted, "Don't worry, the cows won't all die."
What was Su Nuan thinking? She wished all the cows would die so she could have plenty of meat to eat.
However, when she got closer, Su Nuan found that only two were dead, and the remaining one had a minor injury on its leg that could be healed with some rest.
Su Nuan turned her head and looked at the chief running towards her, feeling very depressed. It would be difficult for her to kill these cows secretly.
The chief ran over and saw two dead cows. He said with regret, "Oh, you were so harsh. Two cows are dead."
Su Nuan glanced sideways, "What are these cows for?"
They don't know how to use oxen to plow the land, so it is definitely not kept for arable land.
The chief said, "It can be used as a mount and as labor."
Su Nuan thought about it and nodded, "Okay, then keep it."
She took out a dagger and drained the blood of the two dead cows, draining as much as possible, otherwise the blood would remain in the meat and it would not taste good.
The chief immediately asked someone to collect the cow's blood, and then let the people in the tribe drink it.
Su Nuan didn't stop them. This place was short of salt, so drinking raw blood was their way of replenishing salt.
Speaking of salt, Su Nuan thought that this crucial thing could not withstand consumption. She really didn't know where the people in the north got the salt.
By the way, Ye Mingcheng and his team have a salt mine in the north, but we don’t know the exact location.
The scumbag dad was quite carefree. He bought his free status as soon as he arrived in the north and ran away with that woman. His stepmother and Su Zhen should have gone with him, leaving him here alone.
Su Nuan now has a flying bird mount, so she is not in a hurry about the salt issue. She will just fly to the beach to dry some sea salt when she has time.
"Come on, help me cut up the beef."
The chief asked people to carry the cow to the open space, where there was a huge long bluestone slab, which made it convenient to place the cow on it for slaughter.
Su Nuan entered the stilt house, took out a big pot, built a stove with stones and put the pot on it.
She cooked a pot of braised meat. The fresh braised meat was so fragrant that Su Nuan wanted to have two drinks.
But people are not able to eat enough now, so there is no extra food to make wine. It is just an idea.
Su Nuan was full and satisfied, but Xiaobai had run off somewhere and didn't eat much of the cow it brought back.
The chief was so full that he collapsed there without saying a word.
Su Nuan smiled and said, "Where can you get salt here?"
The chief shook his head. "Without salt, we drink blood to replenish it. Warriors used to go to the seashore to get salt, but it took two months and was fraught with danger, so they stopped going."
Su Nuan didn't expect that it would take two months to get from here to the seaside. How would people in the north solve the problem of salt?
Let's see the situation first. If there is a real shortage, you can get some salt yourself and take it back to use as currency, or exchange it for other people's labor.
The chief asked, "Will you take this meat?"
Su Nuan nodded, "I'll just take some cooked meat, you guys keep the rest."
The chief was not afraid that Su Nuan would take it all, but he thought that the white tiger was big and could eat a lot, and if he took too little, he was afraid that it would not be enough to feed it.
Su Nuan didn’t even think about feeding Xiaobai, as that guy had no worries about food and drink.
She packed up some beef shank, which is the best dish to go with wine.
The topic of alcohol came up again, and Su Nuan sighed. How could she be qualified to drink at this time?
Su Nuan looked around the terrain. There were trees all around here, and he couldn't see the situation on the other side of the river. It was a pretty good habitat.
It’s just that the defense facilities are too weak, almost non-existent. A few traps, fences, etc. can block the attacks of the distant mountain tribes.
Su Nuan asked, "Chief, why don't you dig a few more traps here?"
The chief asked, "What's the trap?"
Su Nuan pointed at the pits in the distance in astonishment, "Didn't you dig those?"
The chief shook his head, "No, those holes were caused by a rockfall a while ago."
Before Su Nuan could say anything, the space spirit's cry appeared in her mind: "Go and have a look, it's a meteorite, maybe it has energy."
The space spirit couldn't help but tremble when speaking. The chief glanced at it, but dared not say anything or ask anything.
Su Nuan stood up and ran towards the pit, maybe there really was a surprise there.
Running to the entrance of the cave, Su Nuan discovered that the cave was slanting downwards, and it was charred inside, and she couldn't see what was at the bottom.
She took out the night pearl and went in to check.
The chief was an old lady after all, and she couldn't keep up with Su Nuan's pace. When she reached the edge, she no longer had the strength to go down.
She could only stand at the entrance of the cave and shout, "Be careful, there are snakes in this mountain."
Su Nuan is not afraid of snakes, it’s not like she hasn’t eaten one before.
She continued to walk down. This slanted hole was quite deep. After walking about twenty meters, the space spirit suddenly shouted, "Stop! Don't move!"
