Proofreader: The Eunuch

Yuan Zhan was gone for a long time, and he brought with him, Yuan Diao and Yuan Shan as well as the red dates male and his brother when he came back.

The five people did not specifically avoid Yan Mo who was left on the bed. Yuan Zhan only pulled the animal skin to cover his lower body.

After Yuan Zhan came in, he looked at the boy under animal skin and, since there was no big problem, he no longer paid attention to him.

A few young people with the same mental age were like: you hit me so I hit you back, I say a few words while I pick up the leather skirts.

Yan Mo blinked. As a doctor, he could see at a glance that these people did not need to undergo circumcision. The foreskin might regrow.

"You really decided to go out and search for salt in the winter season?" asked the oldest of the five.

Yuan Diao did not laugh and looked at Yuan Zhan along with the others.

Yuan Zhan sat on the ground. He grabbed the hay and was playing with it. When he heard Yuan Lie asked him, he took out the grass root from his mouth and replied: "Yes."

"Too dangerous. How can the Chief agree?” Yuan Lie frowned.

Yuan Zhan face neither looked bothered nor uncomfortable. He replied with an even tone: "Not only me. The Chief said that he will choose six more warriors to go out with me."

Yuan Lie shook his head in disapproval: "Many people will not want to go; if you cannot get back in time, the snow will pile over the pathways, you will be trapped and will freeze to death.”

"Is the Chief forcing you to think about this? He cannot let the old guy..."

"Da Diao!" Da Lie scolded Yuan Diao, "Qiu Shi Da Ren is the tribal Priest. When you speak of him you must speak with respect!" 

Yuan Diao bowed his head in disapproval but still replied with a “Yes."

Da Lie held his right arm and patted him. "But this is really wrong. I will go talk to the Chief and see if I can postpone the time until next spring. By then, I will volunteer to go with Da Zhan."

"I am coming too!"

Da Shan didn't speak, but it was obvious that he too will come. Yuan Diao also directly indicated that no one can be missed out.

Yuan Zhan shook his head. "The Chief wanted to let me try next spring but things have changed."

Yan Mo thought what changed? The other four people obviously have the same question.

Yuan Zhan unveiled the mystery: "When I went to the Chief to talk about salt, I just happened to bump with Da Yu who just returned from talking to the Zhi People. Da Yu told us that he went to Salt Mountain to make a transaction with the Zhi People and barter for salt. The exchange should have gone smoothly but that was not the case. Not only did the traded salt weigh less than what we normally get but the Zhi people also released a new term of agreement. They said that the salt trade will be minimized."

"What?! All of us are counting on this last transaction to stock up on coarse salt for the whole winter. What did The Zhi People mean when they reduce the exchange?" The red date male was surprised and was angered

Yuan Zhan said coldly: "It is not a surprise since the Zhi People have just occupied Salt Mountain. I am afraid that they are still trying to take out the salt from the salt cave. The process of extracting coarse salt from the stone is only known by the Salt Mountain people. Even if the Zhi People know the method of getting salt from the Salt Mountain people, it is not easy to get a lot of salt in a short amount time."

"That is to say, the Zhi People is still under the palm of the Salt Mountain people? No wonder they have less weight of salt to exchange." The red dates male figured out, then he became worried. "What about this winter? If there is no salt on the meat, even if we eat the meat we will not gain strength."

"Not only for this winter.” Yuan Zhan said: "The Zhi People will be controlling the Salt Mountain, which is equivalent to them holding the knives on our throats. They will definitely increase the exchange price of salt for some tribes. For tribes with strong fighting power, such as ours, they will probably increase the exchange price for the salt and then saddle us with conditions and requirements such as assisting them when they are resisting their enemies."

After he said this Yuan Diao screamed. “Argh! Zhi People already have a lot of enemies and after they occupied the salt mountain the number of their enemies will only increase."

"Yes, either we go attack the Zhi People and win over the salt mountain or we search for a new salt producing land. There is no doubt that the latter option will minimize the tribe’s loss.”

After Yuan Zhan explained, everyone did not speak.

Although the old priest made Yuan Zhan go out to search for new salt field in the winter, his behavior was quite cruel; however, in the current situation, it was unlikely that the tribe will wait until spring of next year.

Compared to the entangled expression of the other warriors, Yuan Zhan was very calm. "I have already indicated to the Chief that I am willing to immediately leave and to search for a new salt field."

Yuan Diao still disapproved of this while Da Lie nodded after thinking for a while.

"Alright, instead of being forced to go, it is better for us to propose it ourselves."

"Da Lie you do not need..."

Da Lie raised his hand, "You are just a 2nd Rank warrior and there are no 3rd Rank warriors available. The Chief will definitely send at least one 3rd Rank warrior to join you. From a practical point of view, I am the best candidate excluding Da Ying. Rest assured, I am only injured on my left hand. I will soon be good to go and will not cause you trouble on the road."

Yuan Zhan naturally does not regard Da Lie as a burden, but if he has Da Lie, then their safety will improved by at least 30%.

“I thought about it carefully. Although there is the danger of freezing to death in winter, it is still good."

"What is good?" The red date male scratched his head.

His older brother Da Lie hit him on head, "Idiot! We went out hunting to find food, what is the most dreadful thing to encounter?"

"...Snakes?"

Yuan Zhan nodded. "Yes. Not only snakes, but also many other beasts who hibernate during winter. If you are full, then you won't be hunting in winter. Also, only when it is snowing will it be the coldest. If we come back before the first snow or if there is a place to rest and fight back the cold winter, then we do not have to worry about freezing." The biggest problem is instead how to find the salt field.

Da Lie added: "If we start during spring, we will not have to worry about freezing and starvation; however, we will also encounter the resurgence of snakes and the beasts who are hungry after the long winter hibernation."

Yuan Shan voiced his concerns: "Winter is still not safe. Wolves do not sleep in the winter as well as people from other tribes who come out to hunt. They might see us and we will not be able to leave unscathed. In addition, it will be difficult to catch prey. What do we eat on the road if that happens? At least in spring we do not have to worry about food.”

Yuan Diao also said: "There are only seven people in total. What if we encounter a giant beast like the Iron Back Dragon on the road? How far do we have to go before we have to turn back? If we cannot find the salt field, do we keep looking or do we turn back? That old... Do you think Qiu Shi Da Ren will let us all go?"

Yuan Zhan has already assessed countless times the pros and cons of this trip when he asked for the task from the Chief. He had already ironed his heart into going and finding a new salt field. On the other hand, he does not want to confuse his brothers to die along with him; therefore, he can only be honest and genuine: "So we must find good men to join us because there is a possibility we may never come back."

From the warrior with the most year’s experience, Da Lie prevented everyone from making a statement on the spot. He urged everyone to return to their tents and thoroughly think about it before making a decision.

Da Shan and Da Diao immediately left. Da Lie was going to wait for the red date male to touch Yan Mo's ankle before going their way. While waiting he spoke to Yuan Zhan: "I have been to many places, but I have never encountered a salt-producing land. Do you know which direction to look for? We cannot look for it in all directions."

Yuan Zhan was hesitant. He didn't want to reveal the details about his little slave for the time being, but before he could think about it, the little slave who likes to make a proposition has already spoken. "South. We are going south."

Da Lie looked behind Yuan Zhan and saw the boy who was sat up.

The impression Yuan Lie has for this young slave was not deep even after seeing the latter cried and pleaded with the Chief in the tent last night. There are more slaves crying and grieving, he cannot remember everyone who cried. However, the morning after the end of the Hunt, he learned from Yuan Shan and Yuan Diao that the method of fixing the broken bone with the wooden branches was really taught by this boy. Last night they said they just wanted to protect the boy from scrutiny because the boy saved Da He who was waiting to die.

"What is your name?" Yuan Lie asked.

"Yan Mo."

"Yan..." Da Lie turned to look at Yuan Zhan.

(PR/N....Yan means Salt....it’s like the first name denoted the tribe from which the person is from...like Yuan Shan, Yuan Zhan, Yuan Diao they're not related they just come from the same tribe.... And their tribal name is Yuan...Yan Mo is from Yanshan tribe Yanshan literally means Salt Mountain....hence when Yuan Lie heard Yan Mo he immediately suspected that the boy is from salt mountain tribe or Yanshan tribe.)

Yuan Zhan nodded. "He is from Salt Mountain, and he is also a disciple of the Salt Mountain Priest."

Da Lie was not happy and frowned. "You made a Priest Disciple your own slave? Are you are not afraid of being poisoned."

"He will not hurt me." Yuan Zhan had to say this in order to save the little slave's life.

Yan Mo nodded fiercely and looked at Da Lie with a look of "I am a good person."

Da Lie looked at the boy and thought that if this boy really wanted to harm people, he will not let people know his identity as Salt Mountain Disciple, and he will not take the initiative to save Da He. He needs to be vigilant and start observing the boy. Once again, the boy also passed the secret means of saving people from bleeding to the other warriors. Apparently, he is a soft-hearted and good boy. If it was not for this child, his left hand would likely grow in deformity. With this in mind, the remaining vigilance turned into trust. 

Da Lie hand slowly relaxed, and Yan Mo exhaled in relief. He felt that Yuan Zhan did not need to expose his identity as a Priest Disciples. As long as he is known as a salt mountain person, he could find salt. You see, this only causes others to be vigilant.

On the other hand, Yuan Zhan's idea was obviously different from Yan Mo. He believed in Da Lie’s skills especially his combat skills which he adapted for his own. For him, Da Lie is like his big brother or even his father. Moreover, if Da Lie recognizes Yan Mo and understands his importance, when there is no food on the road, it will guarantee that Yan Mo will not be used as a reserve food.

That morning, he asked Yuan Shan and Yuan Diao to show Da Lie the method of fixing the broken bone with the wooden branch that was originally taught by Yan Mo, and to take the older warrior to visit Da He.

Yuan Zhan did these things in order to assure Da Lie that Yan Mo is different from ordinary slaves. He is useful in finding salt and in other aspects.

Yuan Lie indeed responded within the scope of Yuan Zhan’s expectation. His impression on the boy completely changed. Although his impression on the boy changed, his vigilance against Yan Mo did not completely disappear. If the boy becomes a threat, he will not hesitate to twist the latter’s neck. For Da Lie even if he is a priest’s disciple of another family can find a new salt field, that person’s life is absolutely inferior to that of his brothers! 

"Last night, you said you want to stab the seal of slavery today?" Da Lie asked.

Fuck! Yan Mo almost forgot about it. He didn't want to leave the slave’s mark on his body. If his healing ability was really strong, then how can he explain when the mark disappears one day?

Yuan Zhan looked at Yan Mo and revealed a wicked smile full of bad intention. "First give him a cut mark, so that Qiu Shi Da Ren will not have any excuse to continue fuming. After taking us to find a new salt field. I will give him a fire mark.

"Is it hot?" Does it have to be from a fire stick? I finally managed to put the eight times fire torture in the past. Do you want to give me another one? I don't think so! Whoever dares touch me, I will kill him!

No matter how Yan Mo used his eyes to shoot daggers to his hairy owner, Yuan Zhan still came over and brought him up. He hugged him in his arms, and looked at him as if he knew what Yan Mo was thinking: "Look at yourself. If you showed even a little strength, I would have been stabbed by you early on. You will come back soon to join us on the road."

"... Da Zhan, can you not stab me with a mark? You know I am seriously injured, and now I have a high fever. I am burning up so I cannot accept tattoos at all."

I knew this bastard was sick! 

"Fever?" Yuan Zhan guessed what he meant. "I will not take you there. Qiu Shi Da Ren will definitely let his disciple, Qiu Ning, come over. If you let Qiu Ning give you a stab, you might be like some slaves before who were stabbed to death."

Don't give me than bullsh*t, you just want to give me the mark that says I belong to you! Do you think I can't see what’s on your mind, you bastard? Yan Mo was mad at himself. "Stupid master. It was not smashed by bone spurs. It is because of the infection that I’m burning up! If I have a fever, how do you expect me to treat your leg?"

"Are you threatening me?" Yuan Zhan pinched his ass.

Yan Mo bit his teeth. “I dare not! You really want to give me a seal of slavery? You promised me..."

"I did not promise you anything. Everything will have to wait until you find a new salt field."

Yan Mo was really pissed off "You dare to give me a seal of slavery! Do not expect me to take you to find salt!"

Yuan Zhan grinned. "Do you want to die?"

Da Lie suddenly smiled and said: "It seems that you and this boy are quite a handful. In this case, if he really does not want to be your slave, then castrate him and make him your wife."

Yan Mo: "..." The f*ck! 

At this moment, Yan Mo felt the pain in his family jewels. Compared with Yuan Zhan, who is fierce but also childish, this Da Lie with a gentle smile was the most terrible! 

He also heard the primitive people particularly favor castrating the male citizens of the enemy tribes, and usually castrates the men of the entire enemy tribe before turning them into slaves. It is because they believed that the slaves who were castrated would be more obedient? However, after castration, Da Lie still wants to make him a wife? You are not short on women to be missing this one! 

Fortunately, Yuan Zhan refused. He said: "He is not for castration. The possibility of death after castration is too great. It is not worthwhile." 

Yan Mo laughed. I must kill the bastard. I must kill them!
