The whole family came to the big fire, and people were so affectionate when they saw Xiao Ye coming back! They all sent barbecue one after another, and Xiaoye was so full. Xiao Ye took one cigarette from the leaders of the prairie, and each of them was given one, and said, "Please taste the cigarettes of the prairie." "The rest was given to my father.

People smoke cigarettes and say, "This cigarette is so fragrant, it's good to smoke this cigarette regularly." Xiao Ye said: "In the future, I will get more of this kind of cigarette leaves, because it is too convenient for me to ride a horse." ”

Xiao Zhuang's father smiled and said, "Xiao Ye, you have been there for a few months this time, you must have traveled a lot, let's talk about the situation in the prairie, we really want to hear it." ”

Xiao Ye thought for a moment, and replied with a smile: "Okay, I'll report on our trip to the prairie, this time I spent more than three months, with the horserider Cao San and Brother He of the Hekan tribe, to the 36 tribes of the prairie, if you add a few tribes nearby, there are a total of 41 tribes, most of them live in the cave by the nameless river where the water of the nameless lake flows. They make a living by hunting small animals, digging bird eggs, picking wild eggs, and duck eggs, and they are afraid that big wild things will hurt people, so they don't dare to hunt big wild animals. There are a few tribes that also raise cattle, horses, sheep, pigs. They all eat bloody raw meat, they don't know what fire is, and most of the tribes have a hard time. We sent the fire with cigarettes, and helped them light the big fire, and ate the delicious fire barbecue, and they were very happy, and they learned that they used torches and traps to hunt and kill big wild animals, and the harvest was great. They learned how to fish for "water meat", and also learned how they collected tobacco leaves, rolled cigarettes and smoked cigarettes, and kept the tinder, so that they could live a good life with fire for a long time, so they were very grateful to us. ”

Then Xiao Ye said: "They also have a lot of good experience, so far we have not done it, for example: some tribes take grazing to raise sheep, that is, do not kill the old ewes, only tie the old ewes, every day the old ewe to eat grass, its children and grandchildren will follow, lead the old ewe there, they will follow there, the old ewe has become the leader, and after the sheep are full, the old ewe will be brought back to the stone pen, and the sheep will follow back to the stone fence. The sheep grow very quickly, and only one person needs to lead the old ewes, which reduces the number of people who mow the grass. Another example: people can also milk goat milk to eat, goat milk is very delicious, very nutritious, especially children, the elderly drink goat milk is the best. Another example: there is also a tribe that chooses very fragrant tobacco, which is planted in a very close place, grows very lushly, and it is very convenient to use tobacco leaves. These methods are all for us to learn. There are many, many interesting things that I won't talk about, but I'll talk about them later. ”

People smoked cigarettes and listened very carefully, and Xiao Zhuang's father said happily: "Xiao Ye went to help dozens of tribes light the fire this time, and also learned what they wouldn't do before, so that they can live a good life with fire, which is really a great thing and has won glory for our mountain tribes." "All the people who fell praised Xiao Ye for being amazing.

Xiao Ye's family returned to the cave, and Uncle Gao Shan said, "It's late today, you better go back to your cave to rest." ”

Xiao Ye and Xiao Tao returned to the cave hand in hand, Xiao Tao touched the bark for lighting, gave Xiao Ye, Xiao Ye quickly went to the fire to light it and took it back to the cave, the light was very bright, he saw that the furnishings in the cave were the same as those in his father's cave, he gave the sheepskin to Xiao Tao, and said, "Xiao Tao will make clothes for you to wear." Little Peach happily took the sheepskin. Xiao Ye hugged Xiao Tao and kissed him, and asked with concern: "Are you happy about this move, how many days have you walked to Nameless Island?"

Xiao Tao replied: "This time, Xiao Zhuang Xiaomu returned to the tribe to inform him to move to a good place, saying that it is an unnamed island with water on all sides, and there is no shortage of anything, and there are too many "water and meat" to eat, and there are too many fruits and wild things to eat. Everyone was very happy to hear it, they were happy to move, we prepared a lot of barbecue, happily haircut, there were a lot of fruits along the way, everyone ate barbecue along the way, ate fruits, talked and laughed and walked for 13 days to the nameless island. When I arrived at Nameless Island, Uncle Shi brought dozens of people to help, quickly cleaned up the cave, and arranged more than 70 of us very well, which was much better than living in the nest shed, for more than two months, everyone had endless beef, mutton, rabbit meat, "water meat" more, which could be eaten at any time, and all kinds of endless fruits, you see I have gained weight. ”

Xiao Ye said happily: "You have really gained weight, and your belly has also grown, you will definitely give birth to a fat doll, and our life will be better in the future." Today you and I are tired and go to sleep, and tomorrow I will look around. So, after a while of intimacy, the two fell asleep.

The next morning, after everyone ate roast beef around the fire, Uncle Gao Shan smoked a cigarette and called Xiaoye to visit each family, and each family was very happy, saying that the new home was good, there was no lack of anything, and there was endless food, which was much better than the original place of residence.

They looked around again, and Uncle Gao said, "You see we have built four pens and raised livestock, and several tribes have sent us four calves, 12 sheep, 10 piglets, and two ponies. Everyone has learned to fish for "water meat", and there are often "water meat" to eat. ”

Uncle Gao Shan took a puff of cigarette and continued: "Look at the left, right, and rear of where we live, all have dug traps, and there are also many traps dug in the places where wild beasts are active, and the harvest is not small, and we will not worry about food at all in the future, and our days will be better and better." ”

Xiao Ye said: "Dad is really good, in a short period of time, our tribe has been arranged so well, every family is very happy, and I am also very happy, the new home of Nameless Island is really good." ”

As the father and son walked, they talked about the future of the mountain tribe. At this time, Xiao Ye remembered the cute red horse, I don't know what happened, he said eagerly: "Dad, my red horse is still with Uncle Shi, I don't know if I'm full, I'm not at ease, let's go take a look."

Uncle Gao Shan said happily: "Okay, look at my son's red horse." ”

The two fathers and sons crossed the single-plank bridge and walked towards Uncle Shi's house, at this time, they saw Cao San galloping on a white horse, Cao San came to Xiao Ye, got off the horse and hurriedly said: "Xiao Ye, last night there was a person, named He Er, who came to my house from the "Riverside Tribe" far away from the south, and asked us to help them light the fire, I asked them where they lived, and he said that they lived in the south of the prairie, and the prairie was separated by a hill, and there were 32 tribes living there, and there was no fire so far. He walked for several days before he arrived at my house, he was too tired to walk, so I rode a horse to find you, what do you say? ”

Xiao Ye didn't answer immediately after hearing this, because he had only been home for a day and had to leave, he felt sorry for Xiao Tao, he was really embarrassed, and he was thinking about what to do.

At this time, Uncle Gao Shan said: "That person came from a far away place to invite us, indicating that they urgently need our help, and they should go to help them immediately, so let's go with you, Cao San let the horse eat grass on this grass, Xiao Ye went to Uncle Shi to lead the horse, wait for me here, I will go back and make arrangements, take some barbecue meat to eat on the road, and come back soon." ”

Uncle Gao Shan returned to the tribe and said to Xiaoshan and Xiaoshu: "Xiaoye and I are going to leave soon, to help those who don't have fire, and we will come back soon, after I leave, you have to take care of the tribe's affairs and take care of Xiao Tao." ”

Xiaoshan and Xiaoshu nodded in agreement. Uncle Gao Shan took a cigarette and a few large pieces of barbecue, said goodbye to the people, and soon crossed the single-plank bridge, where Cao San and Xiaoye were waiting. Uncle Gao Shan said: "Smoke the cigarette well, you can't extinguish it, get on the horse." Cao San rode on a white horse to lead the way, and Xiao Ye and Uncle Gao Shan rode on a red horse and ran towards the place where the 32 tribes lived......

Uncle Gao Shan and his entourage of three people rode horses to the Caoyuan tribe quickly, called Shanghe Er, let Heer and Caosan ride white horses together, bid farewell to Uncle Caoyuan, and marched to the riverside tribe. Halfway through, the horses were grazing, and Uncle Gao took the barbecue beef, and everyone sat on the grass to eat roast beef and smoke.

Uncle Gao Shan asked Heer, "What is the name of your tribe?" How many people are there? Where do you live? Who is the leader? What to survive? How many tribes are there nearby? ”

He Er replied: "We are a riverside tribe, a total of 56 people, living in a cave by the river, the leader is my mother, everyone calls him River Auntie, she is 42 years old, gave birth to 9 of our brothers and sisters, 5 brothers, 4 sisters, I am the second, and my name is Heer." The youngest sister is 22 years old, and there are 32 tribes down the nameless river, and the other eight brothers, Yuyu, who are the leaders of eight of them, live in caves along the river. We mainly hunt sheep, rabbits, pheasants, ducks, and pheasant duck eggs. Each tribe raised cattle, horses, sheep, and pigs in the enclosure. The little bison, the little wild horse, the little lamb, and the little pig were all raised, and when the hunt could not be done on a rainy day, one or two grown pigs or sheep were killed to eat. Not long ago, when we were hunting, we found that the tribes of the steppe used fire, and life was good. My mother told me to find you, and ask you to help make a fire, and if we use it, I don't know how happy everyone will be. ”

Uncle Gao Shan asked again: "How far is it to your tribe?" He Er replied, "It's not far away, and if the horses run faster in the afternoon, Tianheo will be able to reach the riverside tribe." ”

Uncle Gao Shan said: "Everyone smoke well, get on the horse and hurry, and you must rush to the riverside tribe before dark." The four of them hurried and galloped towards the riverside tribe......

The four of them rode fast horses and soon came to the small hillside, and the second river said, "After this small hill, you will be a little more than a little longer to the riverside tribe." ”

The four of them dismounted and led their horses up a small hill, where there were many big trees and a lot of dry firewood. Uncle Gao Shan said: "By the way, we will pick up some hay, dry firewood, and small leaves to make a few torches, and if the sky is dark, we will light the torches and hurry." ”

Xiao Ye said: "Dad is really far-sighted, this method is really good, I am responsible for making torches." ”

While walking, while picking dry firewood and dry teng strips, Xiaoye also found a lot of lighting, with oily bark, he called grass three, and he two picked this kind of bark for future lighting. And wrapped a bark in the middle of the dry branches, and soon made four torches.

By this time, it was already dark, and the four of them went down the hillside. Uncle Takayama said, "Quickly light the torch, and Kawaji will lead the way in front." ”

Everyone stopped, Xiao Ye used a cigarette butt fire to ignite the dried grass and leaves, and after the fire was strong, he quickly lit the torch, Xiao Ye lit another torch and handed it to his father, so that the four of them had two torches, and the road was very bright, and Heer led everyone to continue to hurry.
