Once the high priest dies, the tribe will inevitably be in chaos for a while. 

Na Gu, the identified disaster star, is in an embarrassing position at this time, and maybe someone is pinning a basin on his head.

A trip to the far gate can avoid the chaos or let Na Gu go out to relax.

When he comes back, things in the tribe should come to an end, so Xu Fei took Na Gu to change the salt the next day as planned.

In fact, for Na Gu and the others, birth, old age, sickness and death are very open to them.

Death is just returning to the embrace of the natural gods, and everyone has to face it.

He suddenly heard the news yesterday, and the general who had been taken care of in the tribe before jumped to his heart, unable to control his emotions for a while.

Seeing that Xu Fei was very nervous, his mood improved again. The high priest belongs to the entire tribe, and Xu Fei belongs to him. 

When he and Xu Fei were gone, everyone could meet again.

The big man who had figured it out regained some energy and began to prepare for the departure. He have to bring the prey he prepared yesterday and some dried meat to eat on the road. 

Each tribe is divided into a piece of land, and Na Gu cannot hunt on the territory of other tribes.

Tribes with Salt Mountain have very little food in their territories, so they need to exchange salt for food with other tribes.

Na Gu packed up and carried all the prey on his shoulders, ready to set off.

Xu Fei watched Na Gu carrying four short-tailed deer-sized prey on his back, pulling four hooves with one hand, and it was very hard to watch. 

He patted Na Gu's arm, "Do those tribes have to have complete prey before they are willing to change salt?"

Na Gu shook his head. Some of them are good to eat. No tribe would be so picky, otherwise they would starve to death.

"Then chop them up and put them in a basket." This is not a day or two days' journey.

This journey will take ten days and a half months.

Xu Fei felt that it was much more comfortable to put the prey in the basket and carry it like Na Gu, and it was easier to carry the prey without putting it on the ground when resting.

Na Gu didn't even think that he could use the basket, he just carried it and left. 

Thinking of walking with a basket in a basket several times before, it is indeed lighter. Just do what he said, he chopped the prey directly into several big pieces and stuffed them into two big back baskets.

The pieces of meat that have been smeared with preservatives have shrunk a little, and two baskets are barely enough. The meat that has been rubbed with fresh grass is not cured, so relatively less salt can be replaced than cured meat. However, he brought a lot of prey this time, and he would surely be able to exchange a large pot of salt, enough for them to eat for a long time.     

In fact, the tribe of Heri will choose several people to bring their prey to the north to exchange salt every six months. 

Before, no one wanted to bring Na Gu with him, but now he doesn't want to be with people in the clan.     

Na Gu had planned to carry both baskets by himself, but he didn't know that Xu Fei would also carry one. 

After all kinds of dissuasion were ineffective, Na Gu took out an empty basket, poured out half of the meat in the basket, and Xu Fei stared.
