through primitive society

Chapter 521 A New Search (4)
After thinking for a while, Wu Xiyue walked away holding a dozen or so sheepskin horns with a few black stones on them.Damn, I don't want to look at it anymore, I'll call a few more men over to see what's in the depths of the cave.

She turned and left for a while, and Zirsa was sweating profusely, holding the dried meat and rushing desperately into the jungle.It just so happened that the sky was completely dark, and it was difficult for the intrusion of two foreign men to attract the attention of the sentry clansmen.

Wu Xiyue is going back to the big cave, and the small cave must not be able to sleep tonight, no, it should be said that she can't sleep these few nights, she has to sleep with her tribe.

There must have been two big caves and four small caves in the Bua tribe.

After distribution, the two big caves are chosen by the clansmen themselves, and they can sleep wherever they like.Wu Xiyue occupied two of the four small caves, one for mysterious things, one for living, one for the three members of Naya, and one for the wolf king.

Originally, it was said that there was a room for the women to sleep with their men in the big cave. As a result, the clansmen were not very willing, and several women didn't seem to like to sleep separately with the men.

It is golden for Wu Xiyue to keep silent about these matters. How do they arrange and how do they sleep?

Several caves will be distributed, and the food storage cave will remain as the food storage cave of the Cangcuo tribe.After a winter, the tribe has long since run out of dried meat, and the men start hunting for the new year early the next morning.

Wu Xiyue, on the other hand, was going to look for turtles and sandalwood trees.

Turtles are easy to find, but sandalwood trees are a bit more difficult.The sandalwood tree is a semi-parasitic plant that grows extremely slowly. It usually takes decades to mature. It is one of the slowest growing tree species.

And sandalwood is burned to worship gods and Buddhas. It is written in the poem "West Lake Apartment Building Immediately": tallow candles sandalwood, Sanzhu Road, and one Guanyin raises hundreds of monks.

This is enough to illustrate the importance of sandalwood in sacrifices.

Well, she has to admit that she has given herself a big problem!Where can I find a sandalwood tree?
Since it is said that if you look for it, you must find it. Sandalwood is also an important Chinese medicinal material. It has always been valued by doctors.

If you think of such a good thing, you have to find it.

In the next few days, Wu Xiyue led several tribesmen to go out early and return at night to search for sandalwood trees, and they were also quite busy. They had to hunt wild boars, bison, and wild sheep.

Everything else is easy to say, but this bison is a little troublesome.You have to go to the grassy grass river to find a way, and the only place where there are bison is a grassland on the edge of the Mo River, and only there are bison.

Ti and the others had hunted before, and it was the first time Wu Xiyue saw Ti, and they carried the bison back from the grassland by the Mo River.

Hearing that they were going to look for bison by the Mo River, Wu Xiyue immediately said that she needed to go there together. She had searched all over the vicinity but could not find a sandalwood tree, so she had to go a little farther to see it.

According to Xuanzang's "The Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty", because pythons like to sit on sandalwood trees, people often use this to find sandalwood.When the sandalwood pickers saw the boa constrictor, they opened their bows from a distance, and shot arrows at the assembly tree where the boa constrictor was occupying to make a mark, and waited until the boa constrictor had left before going to cut it.

Wu Xiyue took out two bows and arrows that she kept privately. They could have been made into four, but the other two had weak tendons, and she tore them apart when she pulled them. The finished products are only these two in her hands.

Taking out the bow and arrow naturally drew the eyes of the men. Wu Xiyue patted the sleeve of the arrow and said with a smile, "I'll tell you how these things are made when I get back. Let's talk about finding the sandalwood first!"

They were originally unwilling to let Wu Xiyue follow them. In their eyes, the Mo River was a very dangerous river, and no tribesman could climb to the shore after falling into the water.

But the tortoise shell and sandalwood she mentioned were not known to them, and they were not aware of the two things used in the ceremony. Ti Shen Ling said, "Mang, the tribe will leave it to you, and I will take the moon to Mohe."

Now as long as one of them leaves the tribe, the other will definitely stay in the tribe to deal with matters.

Mang nodded, "Well, you have to take good care of her with Yue."

"I will take care of myself, don't worry about me." Wu Xiyue waved her hand, showing off the bow and arrow in her hand, "This thing can repel wild beasts and enemies, and maybe save the lives of the people."

Although the bows and arrows are simple, the men all know that the things made by the wizard Yue must be good things, and they stare intently with their shining eyes, full of salivation.

Wu Xiyue calmly put the bow and arrow behind her back and hid it, damn it, she still didn't hide it after hiding for a few days.

It takes about seven days to go from the cave to the Mohe River, and this is the case when you are familiar with the direction; fortunately, Tiu has been to Mohe River, so I don’t remember the exact direction, but I can still feel the general direction.

When Mang and the others arrived at the Cangcuo tribe, the sun was always out. Walking towards the direction of Mohe in the warmed up jungle, the leaves were greener and the grass was greener. Wu Xiyue didn't worry about whether the hibernating snakes would come out to look for food.

Telling the tribe that if there is a big tree with a big snake, it might be the sandalwood she was looking for, and the tribe began to keep an eye on the tree all the time.

The trees in the primeval forest have not been destroyed. As long as there are sandalwood trees, there will definitely be top-grade sandalwood trees that have been grown for more than 30 years.

Of course, she doesn't have such high requirements, as long as it is a sandalwood tree.

Walking all the way to the east, the greenery is getting thicker and thicker, and you can even see some nameless flowers blooming beside the flowing stream in the mountain stream.

Four days passed, but the boa constrictor did not arrive, but all kinds of small snakes that came out to look for food had been seen countless times.Wu Xiyue is fine, just forget about finding the sandalwood, and look for it next time.

But they are different, they attach great importance to the spring festival, the wizard said that if you want to find sandalwood, you must find sandalwood.

On the fifth day, Ti still couldn't find the big tree with the big snake coiled around him, so he said to Wu Xiyue, "The direction is correct, and we can reach Mohe in three days; let's stop to find the sandalwood tree before going to Mohe. You can see if it's possible. "

Now, whenever he needs to make a decision, he will seek Wu Xiyue's opinion before telling his clansman the decision. If Wu Xiyue objects, he will give up his decision.
