Chapter 15 Accept everything about him
"This won't work, Chief! We don't have much salt left at the moment. It's hard to say whether we can survive until autumn, let alone winter!"

"That's right! How can we do it without salt!"

"Chief, you can't do this!"

Everyone said to me that no matter what, we couldn't wait until winter.

Some even got angry and cursed at the chief: "Didn't you say before that we should exchange food for salt? There is enough salt! Why is there no salt now?!"

"Our own tribe also hoards some salt. When the time comes, we will take out the salt and share it with everyone. Maybe we can survive until next spring!"

"We still have salt stores. The chief will return our salt stores to everyone!"

When the chief heard the word "salt hoarding", he immediately felt a pain in his head.

Seeing that he didn't speak, someone from the tribe shouted: "Chief! We don't even have the salt to store, right?"

The chief's face turned even darker.

As soon as these words came out, the discussion below became even louder.

Some even wanted to rush up to the chief to ask about the situation.

"Everyone listen to me!"

The chief was so frightened by the people who almost rushed forward that he turned pale and quickly spoke out to comfort him.

"We didn't store much salt before, and it rained a lot, so a lot of it got wet and was no longer useful!"

The chief didn't dare to look at everyone at all, he just wanted to resolve this matter as soon as possible.

After all, salt melts when it comes into contact with water. Who knows how this salt disappeared.

"Then what should we do now?!"

The house they lived in leaked whenever it rained heavily, so the salt was soaked in water. They thought it was normal and didn't think about it at all.

"Since we can't wait until winter, let's use more food to exchange for salt. What do you think?"

Hearing the chief's words, everyone looked at each other.

One of them asked: "How much more is more?"

One more rabbit is also a lot, and one more tiger is also a lot.

Always have a number in mind.

"Well, for the sake of fairness, everyone can hand over a wild boar, or other animals as big or small as a wild boar, such as sheep, wild horses, etc."

As soon as the chief finished speaking, people started to shout.

"No, don't you know how difficult it is for a wild boar to kill a chief?"

"The wild horse is so ferocious that if you kick him with just that foot, your life will be lost!"

"Sheep are more docile, but this thing is hard to find!"

"You're asking each of us to hand over one, which is simply impossible!"

Qin Yao was listening below, feeling something was wrong.

“Are these animals difficult to catch?”

Chu Cheng heard her voice and lowered his head, "Well, especially wild boars, they are very strong and wild, but they are nothing to me. I caught them once before and they tasted good. I will get one for you next time." Just come.”

After coming here for so long, Qin Yao has not eaten pork for a long time. It would be good if she could have a meal, but she heard that it is very dangerous, so she frowned and said: "This thing is not easy to catch, you don't have to go out of your way to get it for me." .”

Chu Cheng smiled and did not answer her words.

He wanted to hold all the good things in front of her.

"This won't work, that won't work! What do you want?"

The chief was also angry. "Chief, you said it would make sense if each family took one out in exchange, but we are all still women, how can we get it out?!"

These women usually have to work and take care of the children at home, but now they are required to hunt.

This is simply impossible!
"I have no choice. After all, if there isn't much food, they won't be willing to change it."

The tribe that can dry salt is much smaller than the Songyan tribe. They don't have enough men, so they have very little time to go out to hunt. They can only let the women dry salt at home and use the salt to exchange food with other tribes.

The Songyan tribe had always cooperated with them in this way, but this time because the production of salt had dropped for some reason, they were unwilling to change.

"If you have other ways, that's fine! But in order to let everyone eat salt as soon as possible, we will take the food over and exchange it with them in three days. You all should try to hurry up!"

The tribe dispersed, and some women began to sob.

"What can I do? I can't catch a sheep at all, let alone a wild boar!"

"You're okay. If not, you can still ask your man to help. Our family will be in dire straits. It's just me and a few sisters. My father is the only man in the family. How could he catch so many!"

"It's good that you have a dad. In our family, my dad is lying in bed, too old to move. It's up to us women. We usually catch rabbits, but this wild boar is impossible!"

Everyone looked at each other and realized their difficulties, and they all burst into tears.

It's okay for men, but it's hard for women like them.

Qin Yao also found it difficult.

Those women in her world would be able to defeat a strong man at first glance. They were quite strong, but she was different. She couldn't even lift a stone pot, let alone a wild boar.

She only dared to look at these animals from a distance. If they were placed in front of her, she would be frightened and cry.

But it won’t work without salt. This matter must be solved.

"Don't worry, there's still me here."

Chu Cheng stretched out his hand to rub her head, but as soon as he lifted it up, he took it back again.

"But I..."

Qin Yao doesn't want Chu Cheng's help. The more he helps her, the guiltier Qin Yao will feel. She can't give him anything in return.

"Don't say it, everyone knows that I am strong. If I don't help you, it will be even more difficult for them to find out that we are fake partners."

"Besides, do you think you can catch a wild boar?"

Qin Yao pursed her lips and raised her eyelids to look at Chu Cheng. Seeing the playful smile in his eyes, she suddenly felt a little unconvinced.

But he was right. She had thin arms and legs. If a typhoon came, she would be knocked down, let alone a wild boar.

"Then...okay, but can I go with you?"

Although she has no strength, maybe she can outwit her?

Anyway, I didn’t tell you how to catch the wild boar.

Chu Cheng thought this was quite dangerous, and he didn't want Qin Yao to see his cruel side, but when he saw her eager eyes, he was instantly defeated.

Forget it, just see it when you see it. Anyway, you will see it in the future. She has to accept everything about him.

The chief spoke, and everyone began to leave the tribe one after another that day and went out to look for wild boars.

Chu Cheng also packed some things and took Qin Yao out.

There must be many people hunting around the tribe now, and they have to go farther if they want to find the wild boar.

Otherwise, you won’t even be able to get meat scraps here.

The two of them left the tribe and walked eastward until the sun was about to set. Qin Yao couldn't walk anymore so she found a flat place to sit down and rest.
