The witch was extremely grateful to Tang Qingxi for being willing to teach the Liehuo tribe's writing, and he pulled Tang Qingxi to go worship the beast god. Tang Qingxi had to persuade him to stop the witch, whose face was flushed with excitement.
She didn't dare to go to worship the Beast God. What if there really was a Beast God? They, a bunch of newbies, would be dealt with by the Beast God in minutes.
Pull Wu aside to discuss the next steps.
"I have three requests. One is to mine crystal veins. I need to hire men from your tribe to mine. Food is provided, and the reward is a kind of meat that can grow from the ground. You can mine as many crystals as you can within this month."
"First, I want to buy all the herbs near your tribe. I'll buy as many as I can. These herbs must be fresh with roots, with the roots not too damaged and suitable for transplanting. It's up to you to decide whether you want grain, salt, or something else in return."
"The third thing is to teach you how to recognize words. We don't have time for this, so you need to learn by yourself by following the video."
"What is the video? Wu is most concerned about literacy right now.
Tang Qingxi directly took out a tablet, which contained downloaded Chinese and math courses from kindergarten to junior high school.
Open the video, and you'll see a child in a skirt jumping around and saying, "Dad's dad is grandpa, dad's mom is grandma, mom's..."
Wu was startled by the child who suddenly appeared on the screen: "Why did you lock the child in here?"
Tang Qingxi handed the tablet to Wu and said, "How can you keep a child this young? This is a technological product of our world. It contains images, not what you think."
Wu looked at the tablet in his hand over and over again. It was small and light, so it shouldn't be used to lock the kid up.
Then he confirmed with Tang Qingxi: "It's not soul-stealing?"
"No, the kids in the Soul Stealer can smile that brightly. And I can't Soul Stealer either."
Wu was relieved and focused on watching the video.
But Tang Qingxi snatched the tablet away and said, "Let's discuss the situation first, and then you can take a look after we're done."
"What will you exchange for the herbs you gathered?"
The witch answered without hesitation: "I want to exchange it for salt! I don't want grain."
When I sold the mineral veins, I exchanged them for a lot of food, and now I want salt.
Most of the time, the tribes could not get salt and had to rely on drinking animal blood to replenish the salt lost in the body. Men could still drink it, but women and children would often become weak due to lack of salt.
Salt is a necessity here. If you don’t have enough food, you can exchange it for salt.
Tang Qingxi frowned. The herbs in the orc world were large because there were few people picking them. If all the women in the tribe went to pick the herbs, they would bring back more.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "But if you replace too much salt, and you don't have the conditions to store it, the salt will melt when the weather gets hot. Otherwise, replace half of the salt."
"If you don't want food, you want salt. I will dig a big hole in the cave and put the salt in it. Even if it melts, it will melt in the hole." The witch refused without hesitation.
"Even salt water will seep down through the pit, so wouldn't that be a waste? Think about the porridge we ate yesterday. Was it tasty?"
These days, all the food for the Liehuo tribe is provided by Tang Qingxi, and Qian San is the chef. Yesterday, Wu fainted, and Qian San specially made him a bowl of porridge with only salt added.
Wu thought of the porridge he had yesterday. He could swallow it directly without chewing, and it tasted so good. Porridge was the best food for an old man like him who had no teeth.
However, the old man cannot hunt and wastes food, making him the most redundant existence in the tribe. In the Liehuo tribe, at least he is given some food so that he can neither eat enough nor starve to death, and just hang on to his life.
Many tribes will directly drive the elderly out of the tribe and let them fend for themselves. It is not because they are cruel, but because the external conditions are too bad.
