Chapter 59: -Saline-alkaline soil

"Master Warrior, is this the medicine you mentioned?"
In the depths of a certain forest, a primitive man uttered a cheer, shouting to the thief in the distance.
Ji Thief looked back silently: "Big Brother, it's dog's tail grass, not puffballs, nor dog spines."
"Oh oh."
"Master Warrior, I found the puffball you mentioned."
Another primitive man shouted.
The thief was stunned when he heard the words, and hurriedly looked back, but his eyes fell silent: "Brother, let's not use poisonous mushrooms as puffballs? It will be deadly."
Ji thief said that he was a beeping dog. If he knew that, he would not bring them out together. If he couldn't help, it would be a mess.
The witch came up and asked Ji Thief: "Warrior, the puffball and the spine fern you mentioned, everyone hasn't seen it until now, will there be none?"
The thief stopped when he heard the words, turned his head and resolutely said: "Impossible, it must be there. It's just that we haven't found it yet. Let's go and take a look."
Everyone was a little discouraged, and then they all hummed, following Ji Thief.
Moving forward, Ji Zei scratched his itchy left shoulder, not to mention, this puffball worked well.
I only used it yesterday, but I feel a little bit today.
Going on, around a hillside, you see a barren land on which there is no weed.
Ji thief couldn't help but glanced more, only to say strange in his heart.
"This place is so strange. There are so many flowers and plants growing next to it, but there is nothing here." A tribe sighed.
The witch was dissatisfied and said: "Well, don't worry about so much, our main task now is to find the wound medicine."
The primitive people nodded, but Ji Zei stopped after listening to the people's words. He pinched his chin and looked at the bald ground.
"What's the matter with the warrior?" the witch asked puzzledly.
Ji Thief shook his head: "It's nothing, I'm just wondering why this land has no flowers and plants."
With that, Ji Thief squatted down and looked carefully.
The witch exclaimed: "This one has always been like this, it never grows flowers or plants, warrior, let's go find medicine for injury."
Ji thief stretched out his hand to stop: "Wait first."
As he said, he reached out and pinched a handful of soil under his nose and sniffed.
The primitive people who followed you look at me, I look at you, all squatted down like a thief, reaching out for dirt.
Ji Zei stretched out his tongue again and licked the dirt on his fingertips.
The primitive people who watched were shocked and stood up and said: "Warrior, if you are hungry, just say, we will hunt you, no need to eat dirt."
Ji thief heard this with black lines.
The witch followed: "Warrior, don't do this, this can't be eaten."
With a wry smile, Ji Thief didn't have time to explain to them, but closed his eyes and savored the smell of the soil. For three or two minutes, Ji Thief suddenly opened his eyes, spit out the muddy mouth, and jumped up with joy, with a crazy laugh: "Haha, sure enough, it is exactly the same as I thought!"
The witch whispered at the people around her: "Is the warrior hungry and stupid? You don't want to say anything, but also giggled. You two, go pick some fruit for the warrior."
The two clansmen who were ordered nodded their heads and agreed, seeing Ji Zei's eyes full of regret. What a pity, a good person, how can you say that you are crazy?
"come back!"
The thief who was laughing wildly returned to his senses and shouted at the two.
The two stopped when they heard the words and looked back at Ji Thief curiously.
Ji Thief asked: "What are you two doing?"
"Pick the fruit, warrior, aren't you hungry?"
Ji thief rolled his eyes when he heard the words: "Who told you I was hungry."
The witch approached Ji Thief and said in a low voice: "Warrior, don't be stubborn, you are all eating dirt."
Ji thief: "···"
"What, I don't eat soil, I eat salt." Ji Zei explained helplessly.
The witch and ten other people were taken aback at the same time: "Salt? What is that?"
The thief slapped the dust on his hands, rubbed the ground with his feet, and the soil rolled away. Under the sun's rays, the surface of the soil shimmered from time to time.
"Salt is... Forget it, I tell you that you don't understand, you only need to know that when this thing is put in the food, it will make the food more fragrant and more delicious." Ji Zei just wanted to explain , But thought that they didn't understand the importance of salt. For a moment, he sighed and made a compelling speech, but no one listened.
The witch and other members of the tribe looked at Ji Thief in doubt, with doubts on his face, and even more questions in his mouth: "Warrior, do you mean to throw this dirt on the food? Is it edible?"
Ji thief came from a tribe, spread the animal skins on the ground, stretched out his hand to grab the soil on the animal skins, while grabbing, he laughed and said: "Of course not, it needs to be processed before the salt can be eaten. Hey, so A large piece of saline-alkali land is enough for our tribe to use for decades."
Soon, the thief piled up the animal skins with dirt, packed them, and gave them to a tribe, and repeatedly said: "You take this back, please remember, don't throw it away."
The tribe nodded casually: "Don't worry, Lord Warrior."
Seeing his look, Ji Thief grabbed him with a snap, and said nervously: "Brother, I'm serious, don't throw it away."
The tribe snorted, "Okay."
"Also, when you come back, remember to ask the patriarch to bring some more people. If the patriarch asks, you will say that I am useful."
"Yes, Lord Warrior."
Watching the tribe leave, Ji Thief finally breathed a sigh of relief. He turned his iron spear and inserted it on the ground. The whole person sat on the bare ground like a miser, grinning and smirking: "Salt, salt. , I want to kill you, do you know how I got through the days without you for half a month?"
Listening to Ji Thief's voice of being so tired and not paying for life, the witch always felt uncomfortable all over her body. She grabbed a handful of dirt in her hands: "Warrior, are these dirt really as magical as you said?"
Ji thief quickly snatched it, and it looked like something precious: "Of course, the importance of this thing is no less important than clay."
The words of Ji Zei uttered a shock to everyone.
Clay pots are used to assist Taniguchi's defense first. It can be said that the role of clay has long been an unshakable position in the hearts of the tribe.
Even more, clay has become a necessity for the tribe and will be collected every day, but Ji Zei now says that there is still the unremarkable soil under his feet, which has the same status as clay. Whoever replaces it is surprised.
"Warrior, these soil..."
"They are called saline-alkaline soil."
"Yes, yes, it's saline-alkali soil, warrior. You said these saline-alkaline soils are as important as clay?" There was still an incredible look on the witch's face.
The thief turned his head to look at the witch, and said, "Master Wizard, it seems that I need to teach you about the importance of this saline-alkali soil. First of all, saline-alkaline soil is not important. The important thing is the salt in the soil. After refining After that, it will produce salt. In addition to eating, salt can also be used to treat wounds to prevent injured people from getting worse because they are not treated in time. In addition to times, if our body does not have salt, our body The quality of all aspects will also decline, so do you understand?"
Although she still didn't understand what Ji Zei wanted to express, the witch understood one thing, that is, the saline-alkali soil might really be as important as Ji Zei said.
However, the witch is still a little curious, are these inconspicuous soil really the same as the warrior's description? do not know.
A group of people guarded the saline-alkali land. After nearly two hours of work, the old patriarch rushed over with the No. 30 or 40 people.
When they came, the old patriarch asked in a flustered expression: "Warrior, what happened, you said something is wrong with you, what's wrong?"
Ji Zei stood up with an uncontrollable smile on his face. He pointed his finger at the saline soil under his feet and said: "Now, everyone, collect the soil and bring it back."
Old patriarch: "Huh?"
"Not a warrior, I don't understand what you mean."
"Don't say anything, don't ask anything, patriarch, you can just collect the dirt and return to the tribe today. You can throw it aside for hunting or something." Ji Zei said confidently.
However, the old patriarch looked at Ji thief like a fool.
Is there a fart for these soil? Not even clay.
Alas, since the Warrior wants to play, let him play. Who told him to save the tribe?
The old patriarch thought in his heart, so he summoned the people to start collecting saline-alkaline soil.
Ji Zei could see clearly. Seeing that the old patriarch didn't believe it at this time, he said to his heart that when I extracted the salt, there would be something nice for you.
