Chapter 30 Fireworks in the Prairie

This morning, after everyone ate barbecue around the fire, Xiaoye, Caosan and Qing Da Niang said goodbye to Hua Da Niang, and Hua Da Niang gave Qing Da Niang a few large pieces of bison. Xiaoye smoked a cigarette and led the jujube red horse, and Cao San and Qing Da Niang rode a white horse and marched towards the Qingcao tribe. Xiaoye told the grass to ride a horse in front, and he followed behind. Cao San said: "Don't lose company on the same road, let's go together."

After walking for a while, Cao San said again: "Xiaoye, you can also ride a horse, it's much faster than walking." Xiao Ye said, "I will ride it after making friends with the horse in a few days."

Cao San said again: "The two of us are riding white horses, and if you lead the red horse, it will be moved." ”

Xiao Ye smiled and said, "I just want to move it, as long as it is moved, it can become a friend." Aunt Qing said: "Xiaoye, you are so good, you are so good to horses." This time, you helped several tribes light fires, and you also helped us hunt, and everyone will not forget you. ”

Xiao Ye said: "My father often taught us brothers that people should help each other. A little help is deserved, not taken to heart. The three of them talked all the way, and unconsciously came to the Green Grass Tribe.

Xiaoye immediately led the jujube red horse to the river to eat water, and went to a place with a lot of grass to graze. Hua Da Niang sent someone to inform all the people who had fallen, gathered all the people who had fallen, picked up hay, dried leaves, and firewood, and piled them on the grass. He also sent someone to inform the daughter and son-in-law who were married in the Hekan tribe to return home. 

On the lawn, due to everyone's efforts, a large pile of hay and firewood was quickly piled up, and Xiaoye said to Cao San: "It's up to you to learn to light a fire today, it's very easy to learn." ”

Cao San said happily: "Okay, let me try, if it doesn't work, you still light the fire." Under the guidance of Xiaoye, Cao San used the cigarette butt he smoked to make a fire, and soon ignited the hay and ignited the dry firewood, and the fire was ignited! Cao San shouted happily, "I've learned to light a fire too!" "The small leaf grass three kept adding firewood, and the fire burned bigger and bigger.

At this time, Aunt Qing shouted happily: "Our tribe also has a fire, everyone hurry up and bring the meat to barbecue." At the same time, she took a few pieces of bison meat from Aunt Hua, and barbecued it with Xiaoye and Caosan, and people quickly brought pheasant and duck meat and barbecued it. After eating, everyone happily said, "It's so delicious, it's delicious!" How nice it would be to eat like this every day!"

Qing Lady said loudly: "If you want to eat meat barbecued with fire for a long time, everyone must learn to roll cigarettes and smoke, as long as the fire is preserved, you can live a good life with fire for a long time, from today on, I want to learn to smoke, everyone must learn to smoke, smoking, anyone who does not learn to smoke and smoke, can only let him eat raw meat."

Everyone was happy and said, "Okay, we must learn to smoke, smoke, keep the fire, we don't want to eat bloody raw meat anymore." At this time, Xiao Ye took the cigarettes he brought, except for the children, each person gave a cigarette, and everyone was very happy to learn Xiao Ye to smoke......

Aunt Qing's daughter is named Qingqing, 30 years old, born with a beautiful face, a pair of smart eyes, a black hair shawl, a cheerful personality, love to talk and laugh, married to the eldest brother of the Hekan tribe as his wife. Brother He is also in his 30s, tall, rectangular face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, infinite strength, decisive and fair, very prestigious in the tribe, he led more than 80 people of the Hekan tribe, wearing animal skins, living in a cave by the nameless river, hunting small wild animals, digging bird eggs for a living, life is more difficult. They were very happy to hear that their mother was going to take them back to eat barbecued pork, but they were a little confused, they didn't know what fire was, let alone barbecued meat, so they had to follow the visitor. When they saw the fire, they said, "Look, it is the fire." A breeze blew, and the smell of meat also came to her face, Qingqing said: "What kind of meat is this!" My saliva is dripping. ”

They quickened their pace and soon came to the fire, and when Aunt Qing saw her daughter and son-in-law coming back, she said happily, "Don't say anything, eat barbecue meat first and then talk about it." She handed the two of them two pieces of barbecue, Qingqing took a big bite of it, and she shouted loudly, "Oh my God! How can this barbecue be so delicious! It's so fragrant and delicious!"

Aunt Qing introduced: "This is Xiaoye, he is Caosan, the fire for this barbecue delicious meat was sent by them, we should thank them well." She also introduced: "This is my daughter Qingqing, and that is my son-in-law, the eldest brother of the Hekan tribe."

Xiao Ye said: "Sister Qingqing, Brother He, you eat more, in the future, you will also have endless barbecue, if you stay for a few more days, you will know where the meat comes from."

Brother He said happily: "This barbecued meat is really delicious, I want to study hard, and I also want our Hekan tribe to have a fire, so that we can eat barbecue, and I want to ask Brother Xiaoye for more help." ”

Xiao Ye said: "I will do my best to help you, I don't know how many tribes you have there?" ”

Brother He replied: "The water flowing down from the nameless lake forms this nameless river, which is quite long, and there are many tribes along the river, and they all live in caves by the river for the convenience of water, and they all live by hunting small animals and digging birds' eggs. There are more than a dozen tribes I know, and there are even more tribes that are not familiar with them, they don't know what fire is, they all eat raw meat, and it is the first time I have eaten this fragrant and fresh barbecue meat. ”

Xiao Ye said: "I will make all your tribes there light the big fire, and I will learn how everyone can hunt and kill the big wild things, so that they can live a good life with fire." Brother He was very happy and said, "That's just great! ”

After everyone was full, Xiaoye led everyone to collect tobacco leaves and taught everyone to roll cigarettes and smoke. He also taught everyone to dig five traps, use torches to kill big wild animals with traps, and then taught everyone to fish for "water meat". In three days, a total of 5 bison were killed, 12 large and small sheep were caught, and more than 1,000 "water meat" were fished, and people's lives have changed greatly. Every night, everyone gathered around the fire, eating delicious barbecue, smoking cigarettes, singing and dancing, very happy. They thanked Xiao Ye from the bottom of their hearts......

Three days later, Xiaoye and Caosan smoked cigarettes, followed Brother He, Sister Qingqing, and came to the Hekan tribe and were warmly welcomed by the people. It only took three days for Xiaoye and Caosan to help the people of the Hekan tribe light a big fire and learn to collect tobacco leaves, roll cigarettes, and smoke. Dig four traps, hunt and kill 4 big bison, big and small sheep, 30 rabbits, more than 900 fishing "water meat", all of them are in full swing, jubilant, people's lives have improved a big step, we are very grateful for the great help of Xiaoye and Caosan. Xiao Ye saw that people were happy and lived a good life with fire, and he was also very proud and happy.

Xiaoye and Caosan were led by Brother He, and they worked tirelessly, and it took more than three months to travel all over the prairie, and everywhere they went, they were warmly welcomed and warmly received by the people. In the same way, they helped 36 tribes successively, so that they all lived a good life with fire, bison, mutton, and "water meat" to eat. In particular, the collection of tobacco leaves, cigarettes, and smoking became more popular, and wherever there was a fire, people knew that they could smoke consciously in order to preserve the precious fire. Soon, people have become addicted to smoking, and after eating barbecue, they smoke a cigarette and feel so comfortable; Tired, tired, smoke a cigarette, and the spirit is quickly lifted. People can't live without cigarettes anymore. Xiaoye also found that the farther south he went, the more tobacco leaves, the more lush, and fragrant he became. When people meet each other, they hand them a cigarette and say, "Taste the smell of my cigarette." "As a sign of friendship. It also shows who rolls better cigarettes between people. It has even shown that compared with tribes and tribes, whose cigarettes are good and whose cigarettes are the most fragrant, they communicate with each other and give each other gifts, thus promoting the popularization and development of smoking. On the savannah, it really formed: fireworks! Pyrotechnics! Where there is smoke, there is fire, where there is fire, there is smoke, the fire is preserved, people no longer lose fire, and they all live a good life with fire for a long time.

After Xiao Ye, Cao San and Brother He lit the fireworks of the prairie, they were ready to return home, and the leaders of the tribes came to send each other, and they thanked Xiao Ye and the three of them from the bottom of their hearts for bringing them a good life with fire, and each of them gave five pieces of good sheepskin, a mountain of the most fragrant cigarettes, and meat to eat on the road. They sent them a long way before they reluctantly left.

Xiaoye rode a red horse, Caosan and Brother He rode back on a white horse, and rushed back to Brother He's house at noon, Xiaoye Caosan let the horse eat grass, they ate barbecue at Brother He's house, the two said goodbye to Brother He, smoked, rode on the horse and hurried away, and soon Caosan also arrived home. Xiaoye and Cao split up and rushed towards the Shiyan tribe non-stop.

Before Tianhei, Xiao Ye rushed back to the Shiyan tribe, and Uncle Shi told Xiao Ye that the people of the Gaoshan tribe had all moved to Nameless Island two months ago, and they were living a good life. Xiao Ye was very happy after hearing this, he handed over the red horse to Uncle Shi to raise for a day, he wanted to see his family, and hurriedly crossed the single-plank bridge, the whole family had greeted him on the island, and he had not seen each other for a few months, the whole family was very kind, especially Xiao Tao, with a big belly, holding Xiao Ye's hand, and said happily: "Xiao Ye, you are finally back." Uncle Gao said, "You all go to the cave where I live and talk." ”

Everyone came to the cave where his father lived, Xiao Ye looked at it and said in surprise: "It's so beautifully arranged!" There is a stone bed, the hay on the bed, the hay is padded with tiger skin, and there is a sheepskin cover, there is a stone table in the cave hall, there are several bamboo tubes containing water on the table, and stone benches are placed around the table, this cave is like a place to live, much better than living in a nest shed. ”

Uncle Gao Shan said happily: "These are all made with the help of Uncle Shi, Brother Caoyuan, and Sister Caoping, and the cave where you live is also very well arranged, and you will see it later." Xiao Ye took five good sheepskins from the leaders of the prairie, one for his father, one for his two elder brothers, and one for his sister, and kept one for himself. The whole family was very happy, and Uncle Gao said: "Let's go to the big fire, meet all the people who have fallen behind, eat barbecue, and then come back to talk about this trip to the prairie." ”
