Xiaoshan and Xiaoshu were very happy to see their father and younger brother come back, and after taking their father back to the cave, Xiaoshu immediately notified the whole family to his father's cave, and they had been separated for a few months, and today was really kind. Uncle Gao Shan took a clay bowl and a clay plate, as well as a stick of cigarette leaves, and asked Xiao Zhuang to give them to his father. At this time, Xiaohua and Xiaotao also had big bellies and walked slowly to the cave to greet their father. The whole family is so lively, and there are endless words. At this time, Xiaoshan said, "Dad, it's time for dinner, let's go to the fire, eat barbecue, and meet everyone." Uncle Gao Shan nodded in agreement.
The whole family came to the fire, and when everyone saw that Uncle Gao Shan was back, they all greeted him cordially and sent the barbecued beef to Uncle Gao Shan. Uncle Gao Shan said happily: "It's been a few months since you left everyone, how are you?" We went to help dozens of tribes and helped them light fires. taught them to smoke and smoke, and to keep the fire; taught them to use torches, and cooperated with traps to hunt and reap a lot of gains; They were also taught to fish "water meat"; We have also learned a lot of good experiences from them, and there are so many interesting things that I can't finish in a few days, and I will tell you about them slowly in the future. ”
After everyone had eaten dinner, it was already dark, and the small hill and tree ignited the bark and escorted my father back to the cave to rest. Xiao Ye held Xiao Tao with the lighted bark and returned to his cave.
Xiao Ye said kindly: "Xiao Tao, have you worked hard at home?" ”
Xiao Tao replied: "You went to dozens of tribes outside, it is hard work, I miss you every day at home, the child in my belly is about to be born, you can't leave me anymore, I'm so scared." ”
Xiao Ye said: "Xiao Tao, don't be afraid, I won't leave you, I will always stay by your side, it's getting late, let's sleep." "Xiao Ye was really tired, and he just fell asleep not long ago, and soon fell asleep.
This night, according to common sense, people are tired, and will fall asleep soon, but Uncle Gao Shan is deep but can't sleep, he recalls the experience of the past few months, recalls the good life when he was with Aunt He, Aunt River asks for warmth, cares about him, feels sorry for him, he likes Aunt River from the heart. He thought again: Aunt He lives alone in a cave, and no one cares about it, how lonely it is. I also live alone in a cave, and it's still deserted, especially at night, and I don't even have anyone to talk to. Alas, how good it would be if two people lived together, they could care for each other when they were sick, and they could spend their old age together, who could I tell this thing to me? Do you say yes to your children? Apparently not. It was almost dawn and he hadn't fallen asleep, and he had insomnia......
Besides, Aunt He, after reluctantly sending away Uncle Gao Shan that day, it has been three days, and it seems that she has lost her soul in the past three days, she misses Uncle Gao Shan, and she has insomnia every night. She was afraid of the night, and there was something to do during the day, and the day passed quickly. It was a hard night, and I couldn't sleep late at night. I finally fell asleep this night, and I dreamed that Uncle Gao Shan came to her and said, Aunt He, I miss you so much, you live in a cave alone, how lonely! I'll pick you up and take you to my house, let's live together, I'll lead you. She replied, "Stay, stay with me, this is our home, and I won't let you go...... Waking up is a dream. It wasn't dawn yet, and she didn't feel sleepy. She thought: Uncle Gao Shan is such a good man, he is selfless, tireless and tireless to run around, teaching methods such as taking fire, keeping fire, using torches to hunt, etc., respected by everyone, but he is still alone, he and I have lived for a while, he is so caring about people, caring for people, such a good man is hard to find, I can't do without him, he can't live without me, right! I should go with him, I should take care of him. If I am gone, who will take care of the affairs of the tribe? Who will lead this tribe, she decided after thinking about it repeatedly, and she could only leave it to Sister He......
As soon as the morning dawned, the beautiful river sister came to the cave of Aunt He, and said anxiously with tears in her eyes: "Aunt He, after Cao San and they left, I couldn't sleep for a few nights, I missed Cao San so much, I decided to go to him today, I want to marry him, Aunt He, you must help me, let me go to Cao San."
Aunt He thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'm going to visit Uncle Gao Shan today, let's go together, you go back and prepare, prepare more barbecue to eat on the road, and we'll go on the road after breakfast." After hearing this, Hemei was overjoyed and replied, "Okay, I'll bring more meat to eat on the road." "I hurriedly got ready.
In the morning, everyone was eating barbecue around the fire, and Aunt He said loudly: "Today I will tell you a big mess, I and Sister He are going to visit our benefactor Uncle Gaoshan, as well as Cao San, eat early and go on the road, after I leave, the affairs of the tribe are all in charge of Sister He, she is the leader, everyone must listen to her arrangement, Sister He must take responsibility and do a good job of our tribe." ”
As soon as Aunt He finished speaking, Sister He came to the front and said anxiously: "Aunt He, I also want to accompany you to visit Uncle Gaoshan, Xiaoye and Caosan, I miss Xiaoye so much." ”
Aunt He said: "I have thought about it, only you can manage the affairs of the tribe well, so I can only keep you, you are bolder, you will definitely be able to manage the tribe well." ”
Sister He had no choice but to say: "Then after I wait for you to go back, I must go to see Xiaoye." "Aunt He wants to leave Sister He, it has been thought about repeatedly, if Sister He goes to Uncle Gaoshan's house together, Xiao Ye has a wife who is pregnant with a child, how to get along, and who will take care of the tribe's affairs, so it makes sense for her to insist on keeping Sister He.
After the morning, Mrs. He brought four good sheepskins and clay pottery bowls and plates, as well as the barbecue to eat on the road, and Sister He also brought sheepskin and clay bowls and plates to follow Mrs. He, Sister He led all the people to see off, she was very sad, and said to Mrs. He with tears: "Please say hello to Xiao Ye for me, and I will only go to see him when I have the opportunity in the future." She sent it far, far away, before reluctantly waving goodbye and leaving.
Sister River went back to the cave and cried all day long, as if she had lost her soul, she didn't eat anything, she couldn't sleep at night, she walked around in the cave, her mind was full of Xiao Ye, she missed Xiao Ye too much, Xiao Ye is a good person, smart and capable, he has helped many tribes, helped many people, he is empathetic, cares about people, and is considerate of people, there are many young men in this tribe, none of them can compare to Xiao Ye, she wanted to go to Xiao Ye alone, but she thought of the task assigned by Aunt He, You can't leave the affairs of the tribe alone, so you have to pick up the burden of the tribal leader. On the second day, she came to the fire early and arranged everyone's tasks like Aunt He, but fortunately, people were happy to accept Sister He's arrangement and work hard. This afternoon, Sister He's cave gate was very lively, there were twelve young men lined up to propose to Sister He, Sister He made a careful selection, and finally selected a young man whose body shape and appearance were very similar to Xiao Ye, named He Shi, as her temporary husband, started her new life.
Aunt He's two have not been far away, while walking while asking for directions, go hungry to eat barbecue, climb the tree to sleep when it's dark, until the next day of the day, only to find the grass three family, grass three to the father Uncle Kusa made an introduction, Uncle Kusa received the guests very warmly, Aunt He said: "We came this time, is to marry our beautiful river sister to Cao San, Uncle Kusa and Cao San do you agree?" ”
Uncle Cao Wan said happily: "I agree, Cao San can't sleep well these days, I want to go to Aunt He, I must marry Sister He, we are about to leave to find you, I really didn't expect Aunt He to send Sister He in person, thank you so much." ”
Cao San smiled and said: "I like River Sister the most, I have dreamed of River Sister being my bride in my dreams these days, if you don't come today, I will ride a horse to find River Sister tomorrow." The two old men laughed when they heard this. At this time, the river sister was so ashamed that she blushed her face and buried her head.
Aunt He continued: "Early tomorrow morning, I will go to the Gaoshan tribe to visit Uncle Gao Shan and Xiaoye, and Sister He will stay to be the bride of Caosan, and I will give you two sheepskins as gifts, wishing you happiness and honoring the elderly." "Aunt He took two sheepskins and gave them to Sister He.
Sister River and Cao San said happily: "Thank you, Aunt He." Cao San said again: "Aunt He, you don't have to walk tomorrow, I will ride a white horse to send you to the mountain tribe." ”
Aunt He said very happily: "That's great, I'll thank you Cao Sanluo first." ”
That night, Cao San pulled Hemei to the cave where he lived, hugged Hemei tightly and said: "I miss you to death, I will never leave you again, I accompany you every day, I want you to give birth to many, many little dolls for me." ”
He Mei said affectionately: "I miss you every day after you leave, I haven't slept well, today I finally married you, as long as you don't leave me, I will give you a lot of dolls." The lovers couldn't wait to make out.
The next morning, after breakfast, Uncle Caoyuan gave Aunt River two sheepskins, and Uncle Gao Shan two sheepskins to take with Aunt River. Aunt River expressed her gratitude. Cao San rode on the white horse, Aunt He sat in the back, she said goodbye to Uncle Cao and Sister He and went on the road. Aunt He asked, "How long does it take to get to the mountain tribe?" ”
Cao San said: "If you have to walk for more than a day, it only takes a while to ride a horse, and there is no problem to catch up with their lunch. He whipped it, and the white horse galloped forward......
On this morning, Uncle Gao Shan, accompanied by his three sons, looked at the livestock in the pen, the tobacco planted, and the newly laid traps. Uncle Gao Shan said happily: "Xiaoshan and Xiaoshu, you have done a good job, the number of domestic animals has increased a lot, the traps are flexibly arranged, there is some harvest every day, and there is endless meat without much effort." This time, we also learned from the experience of others, and I think there are a few things we can do: one is to find a big cave by the lake that has a cave to enter the cave, which is used to burn the fire, so that we are not afraid of continuous rain, and there is barbecue to eat every day; the second is to raise a few or 10 large ewes, and milk them every day for people to eat; The third is to use bamboo poles to fish for water meat, build two pools by the lake, and put the fish meat alive in the pool if you can't finish eating, and you can eat water meat sooner or later; Fourth, change the taste of roast meat, we have a lot of bamboo on this island, you can cut the bamboo back to make fire-roasted bamboo tube meat, which is more delicious than fire-roasted meat. Now we are doing it one by one, and today we are mainly looking for a large cave with a cave. ”
Xiaoshan said, "Okay, according to my father's arrangement, let's first look for a cave with an entrance to the cave." ”
The four fathers and sons began to look for the big cave on the side of the rock, and they started from the single-plank bridge to both sides. It was almost noon, and there was no big cave to enter. At this time, Xiao Ye found that there were two people walking from the single-plank bridge, and when he looked carefully, it was the Aunt of Cao San and the River who walked towards the nameless island one after the other. Xiao Ye shouted: "Dad, look at Aunt He, Caosan is here!" ”
Uncle Gao Shan saw that it was really Aunt He's coming, he was very happy, and walked quickly to the single-plank bridge. Uncle Gao Shan said happily: "Aunt He, you have worked hard, welcome to the mountain tribe as a guest." Grass San is also welcome to be a guest. ”
At this time, the three brothers of Xiaoye also came, Uncle Gao Shan introduced them one by one, welcomed the guests to his cave, and let the guests sit on the stone bench next to the stone table, the clay plate on the table was filled with fruits, and several bamboo tubes were filled with water, and Uncle Gao Shan was very enthusiastic to invite the guests to eat fruits and drink water. Aunt He smiled and said: "This time, I have handed over Sister He to Cao San, and Cao San sent me on horseback, and Cao San will rush back to be the groom in the afternoon." ”
Uncle Gao Shan's father and son congratulated Cao San, and Uncle Gao Shan smiled and said, "We will send Cao San away after lunch, and I will give you two sheepskins as gifts." "Xiaoye brought two good sheepskins and gave them to Cao San.
Cao San said happily: "Thank you Uncle Gaoshan, I don't wait for lunch, my white horse is still tied to the tree by the lake, I don't worry, give me a piece of barbecue, I will ride on the horse and eat it on the road." ”
Uncle Gao Shan smiled and said, "Okay, we won't keep the groom, Xiaoye quickly take a few pieces of barbecue meat and give Cao San and send Cao San across the river." Xiao Ye quickly brought a few pieces of barbecue meat to Cao San, and Cao San said goodbye to everyone, and sent Xiao Ye to the other side, watching Cao San gallop away on horseback.
When the time for lunch came, Uncle Gao Shan's whole family accompanied Aunt He to the fire, and Uncle Gao Shan introduced to all the people who fell: "She is the leader of the tribe by the river, Aunt He, and we welcome her to the mountain tribe as a guest." ”
People continue to send barbecue meat for the guests, small flowers and small peaches accompany the river lady, the river lady is very moved by the enthusiasm of everyone, after the feast, the mountain uncle led the river lady, smoking cigarettes to visit everywhere on the island, participated in a few pens, cows, horses, pigs, sheep have reached more than 100 heads, and visited the digging trap, but also visited the lake swimming "water meat", the mountain uncle said happily: "we have nothing on the island, as long as you are industrious, there will be endless food, you stay and we live together, You have been with me in my dreams for the past few days, and I can't do without you anymore. ”
Aunt He's heart was overjoyed, she thought: This old man is still very infatuated, and he hasn't forgotten me. He smiled and said, "I didn't go back this time, I have arranged for Sister He to be the leader of the tribe." I'll be your wife in peace. ”
After hearing this, Uncle Gao Shan said very happily: "I just need you to be my wife, I announce tomorrow that the mountain tribe is headed by Xiaoshan, and it is time for the young man to carry the burden, I will step down, and we will recuperate happily and spend a happy old age." ”
That night, the two old men always had endless words, they recalled the good days of living together some time ago, and talked about not being satisfied with the status quo now, making ideas for young people, constantly improving the status quo, and looking forward to the future. The two were very excited and talked a lot......
A new day has arrived, and the sun is smiling from the east. Everyone came to the fire early to eat breakfast, at this time, Uncle Gao Shan spoke loudly: "Listen, everyone, today I will talk about two things, the first one, from today on, Xiaoshan will replace me as the leader of the mountain tribe, he is fully capable of managing our tribe well, everyone must listen to him in the future; The second thing is that I announced that I would marry Mrs. He, who is the mother of my children and daughters-in-law. ”

People rushed to bring barbecue, fruit, cigarettes. It was all lively, and people sang and danced and reveled......
