Chapter 63: Stone Flint
"Everyone in the tribe calls me the goddess, but I am unworthy of it. The tribe is short of salt now, so how can I watch the tribe fall into trouble? Besides, Grandpa Chief, we are a family, so please don't refuse."
It is a great blessing for the Divine Cat Tribe to have such a loving and righteous goddess!
The tribe leader sighed inwardly, then he bowed and said, "Then I will thank the goddess on behalf of all the tribe members."
Song He pointed at something and said, "Grandpa, witch doctor, you two only saw the scarce salt, but you didn't know that this is the real unique treasure!"
They looked at the gray stone nearby with confusion on their faces. Isn't this just an ordinary stone?
Yun Caicai saw what they were thinking, so she smiled and said, "Song He, go get some dead branches and leaves."
Song He quickly came back with the baby in his arms.
Yun Caicai squatted down, the two stones collided, and flames appeared.
Soon, the pile of dead branches and leaves was set on fire.
In the light of the fire, the chief and the witch doctor's faces were shocked again.
They are going crazy.
Every tribe in the Orc Continent has a dedicated person to preserve the fire.
How did the fire come about?
It was caused by lightning striking the trees and setting them on fire.
Once the fire went out, they had no choice but to pray to God to send down fire again.
Especially in winter, there are many cases where the entire tribe has difficulty subsisting because the fire is extinguished.
Although salt was a scarce commodity, they could still exchange it for other things.
But if the fire is gone, the tribe will face a life-and-death test in the cold winter.
What do they see now?
The goddess can light a fire with just a simple blow!
This kind of divine object is unique before. With it, their Divine Cat Tribe will no longer be afraid of the days without fire!
The patriarch hurried over and stretched out his hand in disbelief.
"hiss!"
It’s really popular!
The scalded tribe leader's eyes became brighter: "What is the name of this divine object?"
"Stone flint, striking two stones together can make fire."
"Can I, can I try?" the patriarch requested.
"Of course!" Yun Caicai handed Shi Sui to him and made way.
The old man squatted down, picked up the flint and struck it gently. Perhaps his hands were shaking, so it took a while for sparks to come out, and soon the fire was lit again.
The witch doctor also came forward: "Let me try."
The crisp sound of stones hitting each other rang out again.
Both old men had tears in their eyes and looked at each other, excited and happy.
"thump!"
The two of them knelt down in front of Yun Caicai. Yun Caicai was shocked and hurried to help them up: "No, you two should get up quickly. Caicai can't bear it."
The tribe leader was very firm: "Goddess, you deserve it. This item is too rare. You have solved a big problem for the tribe."
He still remembered one winter when it snowed so heavily and the wind was so cold that the fire went out that night. The fires borrowed by every household also went out overnight. That winter, nearly one-third of the orcs in the Divine Cat Tribe died!
The witch doctor wiped away his tears and said, "This thing has never existed in the Orc Continent before. You may not know how important and far-reaching your action is!"
From then on, the Orc Continent entered the era of artificial fire making.
Yun Caicai pursed her lips.
The two men kowtowed to him three times solemnly.
"Thank you for the Beast God's favor, thank you for the Goddess's mercy, and thank you for the Goddess's gift of treasures."
Yun Caicai was deeply moved. She helped the two of them up and bowed solemnly in return.
After calming down, they sat down again.
Yun Caicai said, "50 jin of salt and 15 pairs of flint will be handed over to the tribe, and you two can handle it."
"yes."
After a few more discussions, Yun Caicai left.
The tribe leaders and witch doctors who stayed behind circled around the salt and stone marrow over and over again.
…
Soon, seven days passed and the witch doctor's cave was crowded with people.
This was the first time that so many young females had gathered in the witch doctor’s cave at the same time!
Jiang Yunyun has not recovered yet, and only the witch doctor is there, but she is busy but not chaotic.
"Don't worry, come one by one, there's plenty of night grass!"
After a while, the little female's surprised voice was heard.
"Ah! The night grass has turned red!"
"Mine too!"
"Ah, why don't I have any?"
"Witch doctor, witch doctor, please take a look, am I pregnant?"
"Oh my God! I haven't been pregnant for ten years, but today I am really pregnant!" A little female burst into tears.
"Goddess, be so kind! I want to kowtow to her and pray for her blessing!"
"Woo woo woo, me too, I'll go with you!"
"I'm going too!"
"Let's go together to thank the goddess for her blessing!"
