After a period of visiting, Uncle Gao Shan returned to the Shuicao tribe and said goodbye to the Shuicao uncle, preparing to cross the river to the other side after returning to the waterfront tribe. Uncle Shuicao saw that Uncle Gao Shan insisted on leaving, and it was not easy to stay, so he smiled and said: "Thank you Uncle Gao Shan for your great help to us, if it wasn't for you to send the fire, we haven't lit the fire so far, let alone live a good life with fire." In order to thank you for being old, I have nothing else to give you, so I will give you 10 clay bowls, 10 clay plates, and you are welcome to play again in the future. Uncle Gao Shan happily accepted the gift, expressed his gratitude, and left the Shuicao tribe and headed for the waterfront tribe.

At noon on the same day, Uncle Gao Shan and the other three people quickly rushed to the waterfront tribe, just in time to eat lunch, Uncle Shui received everyone very warmly, and the hospitable people brought barbecue, roasted "water meat" and fruits, Uncle Gao Shan asked while eating: "Uncle Shui, how are you doing lately?"

Uncle Shui replied: "Recently, we have been so good, the fire was extinguished by the rain once, but we all smoked, kept the fire, and re-lit the fire with cigarette butts, which did not affect our lives, and the traps we dug had a great effect, and there was a harvest every day, and there was endless meat, and a lot of calves, horses, pigs, and lambs were added to the pen." We have never had such a good life, and this is all brought to us by Uncle Gaoshan!"

Uncle Gao Shan smiled and said, "It's still the credit of all of you, I'm just talking, but you are really doing it!" I am very happy to see that your life has changed a lot today, Uncle Shui, we will cross the river in the afternoon, and we will also visit the dozens of tribes on the other side, I don't know what is their situation. ”

Uncle Shui said: "Uncle Gao Shan, don't be busy walking today, let's cross the river tomorrow, we have built a big river crossing tree that can seat two people according to your "river crossing tree" during this time, and it will be completed this afternoon, and it will be convenient for all of us to cross the river in the future." ”

Uncle Gao Shan said happily: "Okay, I'll go back tomorrow." Let's go and see your "crossing trees", small leaves, and grass together. ”

The three of them came to the bank of the river with Uncle Shui, and saw that the four of them were making a "river crossing tree", which was three people long and half a person wide, and could sit two people to cross the river, and the shape was completely made according to the original "river crossing tree". Xiao Ye said happily: "The "river crossing tree" you made is even better and bigger than the one we made, it seems that it can seat two people, and you can go into the water tomorrow." The four people who made the "crossing the river tree" were very happy to be praised.

That night, the people of the waterfront tribe were around the big fire, roasting meat, Uncle Shui accompanied the mountain uncle to sit around the fire, people continued to send roast beef, mutton, and water in bamboo tubes to the guests, and the guests were very full. Uncle Shui brought cigarettes again, and people began to sing and dance again, and the scene was very lively. At this time, Uncle Shui took an egg-sized, red transparent stone and gave it to Uncle Gaoshan, Uncle Shui said: "This red stone was picked up on the river beach 10 years ago, and in the next 10 years, this kind of stone has not been found again, people call it the Sun Stone, I will give it to you as a souvenir." ”

Uncle Gao Shan happily took the Sun Stone and thanked him again and again. And send back Uncle Water a "clay bowl" and a "clay pottery plate". And said: "This" clay bowl "and "clay plate" are made by the water baby of the water and grass tribe, which can hold meat, fruit, and water. If you like it, you can send someone to the water and grass tribe to learn from the water baby, it's very easy to learn. Tomorrow we will cross the river and go back, and Uncle Shui is welcome to play in the mountain tribe in the future. Uncle Shui smiled and nodded in agreement.

It's dawn, after everyone has eaten barbecue, they all came to the river to see off the three of them for the mountain uncle, the mountain uncle and Xiaoye walked on the big "river tree", the grass sat on the original "river tree", the three of them waved goodbye to the master, the waist was tied to Teng Tiao, or the use of bamboo pole support, soon to the opposite bank, Xiao Ye untied the Teng strip around his waist, tied to the big "river tree", Xiao Ye waved to the opposite bank, the water uncle on the opposite bank began to pull Teng Tiao, "River Tree" soon returned to the opposite bank. Xiaoye and Caosan dragged the original "river-crossing tree" ashore, tied it to the tree on the bank with Tengtiao, and the three of them walked towards the riverside tribe.

On the way back to the riverside tribe, Aunt He, Sister He, Sister River and others saw the three people who were looking forward to the mountain coming back from a distance, and they were very happy and came to greet them. Uncle Gao Shan said to Xiaoye and Caosan: "Take three more clay bowls, three clay plates, and give them to Aunt He, Sister He, and Sister He, so it's a gift." ”

At this time, Sister He, Sister He walked faster than Aunt He, and even ran up, Sister He ran to Xiao Ye and hugged Xiao Ye tightly, Xiao Ye also hugged Sister He tightly, kissing her beautiful and ruddy face, Sister He said: "I came back after so many days, I really want to kill me." Cao San happily hugged the river sister and spun around, and the river sister laughed nonstop. Uncle Gao Shan and Aunt He couldn't help but laugh when they saw the happy energy of the two pairs of young people. At this time, Mrs. He said, "Let's go back to the cave."

The three of them returned to their respective caves with the river lady, the river sister, and the river sister, and the three of them all took the clay bowl and the clay plate as a gift to their sweetheart, and told the role of the clay bowl and the clay plate. The women were very happy to receive the precious gifts, and they took them and looked at them.

Uncle Gao Shan said to the river lady: "This time we went to the other side of the river, helped more than 20 tribes to light a big fire, they all lived a good life with fire, this clay bowl and clay plate, is given to us by the water and grass tribe, can be used to hold meat, fruit, bowl can be used to hold water." This time, after a day of staying here, we were ready to visit the other tribes. Aunt He, how are you doing now? ”

Aunt He replied: "During this time, our fire was extinguished once by the rain, and it rained for three days, and we ate raw meat for three days, cooked meat that was barbecued for a while, and then bloody raw meat, which was difficult to eat. On the fourth day, when the rain stopped, we brought in hay and firewood stored in the cave and lit the fire with cigarette butts. I'm addicted to smoking, and it's good that I don't lose fire anymore. The traps we dug were not small, and there was a harvest every day, we had endless meat, and we also stored a lot of grilled dried meat in case it rained again. It's almost lunch, let's go to the fire......"

At noon, everyone around the fire to eat barbecue meat, eat fruit, smoke, people are very happy, after noon, Xiaoye with the river sister, grass three with the river sister to go to the horse to eat grass, when the two horses saw the owner after the very affectionate roar, Xiaoye and grass three led their horses, kept stroking its head, kissed and kissed, they came to a place with a lot of grass to stop and let the horse eat grass.

Xiao Ye asked, "Sister He, during this time, you have fed us horses every day, have you learned to ride horses?" ”

Sister He replied, "We wanted to learn to ride a horse, but no one taught us and we didn't have the guts, so we didn't learn it." ”

Xiao Ye said: "When the horse is full, I will teach you how to ride a horse, and ride until you eat late before going back." ”

Sister He said: "I should stay for a while this time, you can teach me to ride a horse, and I can learn to ride a horse." ”

Xiao Ye said: "My father has made arrangements, tomorrow we will go to other tribes to see, and it will take a while to come back." ”

Sister He hugged Xiao Ye tightly and said affectionately: "I won't let you go this time, I want you to accompany me every day." ”

Xiao Ye said: "My dad is old, I want to accompany him to see around, if there is a problem, I have to help solve it, and I will come back to accompany you in a few days." ”

At this time, the red horse was grazing and walked towards the master, and Xiao Ye said, "Sister He, let's play on horseback." Xiao Ye got on the horse, stretched out her hand to pull Sister He on the horse, sat in the back, she hugged Xiao Ye's waist tightly with both hands, Xiao Ye let the horse walk slowly for a while, and then let the horse run.

Cao San also let Hemei ride on the white horse, hugged her waist, and ran closely with Xiaoye's jujube red horse, at first the two beauties were still a little afraid, and gradually became bolder, and kept shouting: "Run faster, run faster!" "Two horses gallop up, and you chase me...... The four young men talked and laughed, and were very happy, and had a pleasant half of the day.

After evening, because they were too tired, the two young couples went back to their respective caves to rest. Uncle Gao Shan smoked a cigarette with Aunt He, and Uncle Gao Shan said: "Aunt He, there is too much rain in your place, and it rains for a few days in a row, and there will be more in the future, you barbecue a lot of dried meat and store it to solve the problem of eating meat on rainy days, this method is very good." There is a better way, you have a lot of caves here, if you can find a big cave with an entrance to the cave, there is also a big cave with an entrance to the cave, you can burn a fire in the cave, the smoke of burning firewood can flow from the cave, send someone to maintain the fire, you can not extinguish the fire for a long time, even if it rains for a few days, you have delicious barbecue to eat, especially in winter, sleeping in this cave can be warm. ”

After hearing this, Mrs. He was very happy and said, "This method is really good, we will arrange for everyone to find such a cave tomorrow." The two talked a lot about housework, and the conversation was very speculative, and it was late at night before they went back to the cave to rest.

After the morning of the next day, after bidding farewell to the master, Uncle Gao Shan and Xiaoye rode on the red horse, and Cao San rode the white horse to the riverside tree tribe. Soon arrived at the riverside tree tribe.

The leader Heda received Uncle Gao Shan and others very warmly, and He Da said, "Uncle Gao Shan, how are you old?" We have been looking forward to it for a long time, and today we have finally arrived at you. After inviting the guests to sit down around the fire, the river brought fruit and water in bamboo tubes for the guests to eat.

Uncle Gao Shan said: "We have been separated for a long time, and we miss you very much, this time I came to visit you, and I would like to know the situation of your more than 30 tribes." ”

He Da smiled and said, "Since Uncle Gao Shan taught us the four skills, our more than 30 tribes have done a good job, because each of our tribes is not far apart, and the situation of each tribe is very clear. I know that everyone uses cigarette butts to start a fire, and once the fire is lit, everyone learns to smoke. We've had a few times of rain here, and we've been able to extinguish the fire a few times, but luckily we've learned to smoke and light the fire again and again by burning it with cigarette butts so that we don't lose it. Now that we are addicted to smoking, we can't do without cigarettes, and the fire will definitely be kept. The use of torches and traps to hunt is better, and each tribe has a great harvest. Everyone likes to fish for "water meat", and they catch a lot of "water meat" like playing. Everyone's life is getting better and better, and they are all grateful to Uncle Gao Shan for giving us a good life. ”

People brought special cigarettes to the guests, and Uncle Gao Shan took a puff of the cigarette and asked, "Do you have any improvements and developments?" ”

He Da took a deep breath of cigarette, thought for a moment and said: "There are some improvements, such as the bamboo forest tribe, they have a lot of bamboo, they use small bamboo poles instead of branches to fish for "water meat", the effect is still very good, we also learn from them, use small bamboo poles to fish "water meat". Recently, they have some improvements in barbecue meat, they cut the tender bamboo, divided it into many sections, each section of the bamboo tube is loaded with meat, and the bamboo mouth is blocked with grass, and then paste with wet soil, seal the mouth tightly, put it in the fire to burn, about the time to smoke three cigarettes, the bamboo tube containing the meat is taken out of the fire, and the bamboo tube is broken with a stone knife, the meat in it is hot, the aroma comes to the face, there is a clear fragrance of bamboo, it is very delicious. There is also a tribe called the Leaf Tribe, their tobacco leaves are particularly fragrant, and the tobacco leaves of all tribes can't compare, but there are not many of this kind of fragrant tobacco, so they dug it back and found a place to plant it, and they are all planted alive, and it will definitely develop. Two days ago, they changed the name of the tribe to the Xiangye tribe. ”

Uncle Gao Shan was very interested in listening to the introduction of Heda, and Uncle Gao Shan said happily: "Please take us to visit you this afternoon." ”

After lunch, led by Heda, four people rode two horses and rushed to the bamboo forest tribe. They spent nearly a month visiting 30 tribes and were warmly welcomed by all tribes. They tasted very delicious bamboo tube meat and smoked the most fragrant cigarettes. What touched Uncle Takayama the most was the enthusiasm of people's hospitality, their joyful mood, and their gratitude to themselves. When they said goodbye and returned home, the chiefs brought 10 good sheepskins, 10 rabbit skins for hats, and four cigarette tobacco leaves. The chiefs saw them off and sent them far away.

The four of them rode two horses, and soon returned to the riverside tree tribe, and the three of them stayed in the riverside tree tribe to play for a few days. Rush back to the riverside tribe in the afternoon. Xiaoye and Cao San's horses eat grass, Aunt He, Sister He and Sister He are busy, taking fruits, delivering water, and barbecue meat are busy. Uncle Gao Shan happily told the situation of the 30 tribes, and gave the three of them a cigarette leaf, three sheepskins and three rabbit skins, and the three women were very happy. Uncle Gao Shan said: "We will go home early tomorrow morning, and you are welcome to play in the mountain tribe in the future." ”

Aunt He and Sister He repeatedly stayed to play for a few more days, Uncle Gao Shan was like an arrow, and hurriedly said: "It's been a long time since I left home, we still have a lot to do when we go back, and there will be a chance to come to see you in the future, you take care of your health." The three women were disappointed, and each of them kept silent.

Sister He pulled Xiao Ye back to the cave where she lived, sat on the edge of the bed, she fell into Xiao Ye's arms and said affectionately: "I am already your wife, you can't leave me, you stay, this is your home, I will give birth to many children for you."

Xiao Ye hugged Sister He and said, "I am also reluctant to leave you, but I have to go back this time, my wife is about to give birth, she can't live without me, I also want to see my wife and children, I will definitely come to see you in the future." The two hugged each other tightly, and Sister He cried sadly......

He Mei returned to her cave with Cao San, she hugged Cao San tightly and cried: "I won't let you go, after you left last time, I couldn't sleep every night, my life is very sad, if I continue like this for a long time, I will be tortured to death." ”

Seeing that Hemei was crying like a tearful person, Cao San was very distressed, and comforted: "Don't cry, I will come back, and I can't bear you!" Just leave for a short time, and after I go back and tell my father, I must ride a horse to pick you up, and we will be husband and wife for a lifetime. The two are deeply in love with each other, and neither of them can do without each other......

A new day is coming, eat early, the red sun rises, the mountain uncle and Xiaoye ride on the red horse, the grass three ride the white horse, farewell to the master on the road, everyone comes to see off, especially the river lady and the two beauties, really reluctant, tearfully waved goodbye.

The horse galloped, and the mountain uncle at this time remembered the experience of more than two years, and he was really full of emotion: since the mountain tribe had fire, in order to make more people light the fire, eat the fire and roast meat, use torches to hunt, and promote smoking and retain the fire, he has done his best. Now there are dozens of tribes of people who live a good life with fire, and they have all learned to smoke and keep the fire, and human beings no longer lose fire. I feel a sense of accomplishment when I think of this. While helping people, I have learned a lot of advanced things, and I will work hard to transform my home after returning this time. He whipped his horse, and the red horse galloped towards his hometown......
