After waiting for a while, Xiao Ye estimated that the tiger was dead, so he arranged for everyone to trap the dead tiger, and found that the dead tiger's feet and the skin of his stomach had been scorched by the fire, and everyone happily carried the dead tiger back to the east of the river.

The proprietor led all the people to greet him, and when he saw the people carrying the dead tiger back, they all cheered, and people wanted to know how to burn the tiger, and after Xiaodong told everyone about the whole process of killing the tiger, all the people who fell looked at Xiao Ye with admiration, and all stretched out their thumbs to praise Yang Xiaoye, and praised Yang Xiao Ye for being a great hero who killed the tiger, and Xiao Ye was once again carried into the air by people......

After getting rid of the tiger, the people in the east of the river were much safer, the proprietor was very happy, asked Xiaoye and Cao San to sit with him, arranged for Da Dongzi and Er Dongzi to cut the tiger meat into pieces, each gave a piece, everyone happily barbecued tiger meat around the fire to eat, and after eating tiger meat, everyone said that it was the first time to eat tiger meat, and this tiger meat was really delicious. However, the innocence was not beautiful, and suddenly it rained, and when Xiaoye and Caosan saw this, they said goodbye to the proprietor, saying that they would go back to make arrangements, and persuaded the proprietor to go back to the cave to rest quickly.

The two of them smoked cigarettes and ran back to their residence, seeing that Sister He and Sister He were at a loss, Xiao Ye hurriedly said: "Hurry back to the cave, the two horses are also led to the small cave next to it, the fire here can't be saved, and the rest of the beef and mutton are moved back to the cave." ”

The four of them were busy and quickly cleaned up, and the rain became heavier and heavier, and the thunder rang out. Xiaoye and Caosan are three steps away from the hole, and quickly light a small fire with a cigarette butt fire, and the smoke really flows from the top of the hole, Xiaoye asked Sister He to maintain the fire, he and Cao San went to the hole again, looking for two places to sleep, although the hole is very dark, but you can still vaguely see people and the firewood piled inside. Cao San said with concern: "Xiaoye, you haven't slept for two days and two nights, go to sleep quickly." ”

Cao San returned to the fire, and saw that it was raining heavily outside and the thunder was louder, so he said to Sister He: "I also know that you haven't slept well these two nights, and there is nothing to do in the heavy rain today, so quickly take the burden in and put on the sheepskin to sleep." ”

Sister He nodded, came to Xiao Ye's side with her baggage, hugged Xiao Ye, and said affectionately: "You have been gone for two days, it's really worrying, the tiger has been destroyed, it's time to sleep well." ”

Xiao Ye said: "You didn't sleep well either, let's quickly put on the sheepskin, you can sleep with me too." She opened the baggage, padded the sheepskin, and coquettishly threw herself into Xiao Ye's arms, she slept in Xiao Ye's arms and felt extremely lucky, Xiao Ye was so tired, and she fell asleep sweetly after holding her beloved woman for a while.

Cao San took two pieces of tiger meat and said to Hemei: "These two pieces of tiger meat are brought back to you by me and Xiaoye, we will barbecue them well, and you and your sister will eat them." ”

He Mei smiled and said, "We haven't tasted tiger meat yet, it's really not easy to eat this tiger meat!" ”

Immediately afterwards, Cao San said: "Xiaoye is too tired these days, let him sleep more, I don't know how long it will rain, we will guard the fire, we must not put out the fire, you can also sleep next to this fire for a while." Sister Hemei was coquettish, fell into Caosan's arms, and said affectionately: "I want to sleep in your arms......"

The rain did not stop for a day and a night, and the proprietor, his three sons, and two daughters gathered in the cave where she lived, and the meat for the barbecue had been eaten, and the three fires had already been drenched by the rain, so they had to eat raw meat, and after eating the barbecue meat for a few days, and then eating raw meat, it was really unpalatable.

At this time, the proprietor remembered Xiao Ye's words about smoking and keeping the fire, and she said worriedly: "Xiao Ye's fire must have been extinguished by the rain, I don't know if the fire is kept?" ”

Xiaodong said: "I heard Xiao Ye say that the four of them made a special trip to help us light the fire, if you want to live a good life with fire for a long time, you must learn to smoke and keep the fire, I have learned to smoke with him, I think he will definitely keep the fire, and I will go to see when the rain stops." ”

When the proprietor saw that the children had eaten a little bit of raw meat, he stopped eating it, and he couldn't eat the raw meat himself, so he said, "Xiaodong, let's talk about Xiaoye and them again." ”

Xiaodong nodded, he told him how the mountain tribe found fire, how to use fire, and how to lose fire in the event of a flood, and many people died by disease, looking for fire and died, and then found fire far away, but could not take away the fire, and after repeated thinking, he invented smoking to make fire, and took the fire back to the mountain tribe, everyone lived a good life with fire again, and also helped dozens of tribes to light the fire, and the purpose of the four of them running thousands of miles to come here, the future of fighting, I said it as it was. The whole family was deeply moved after hearing this, and the proprietor said excitedly, "There are really such good people in the world......

Xiao Ye slept for a day and a night, and it was almost noon the next day, and when he woke up, he smelled the aroma of barbecue, he was really hungry, so he came from the cave, and saw that Sister He and the three were barbecuing beef, he said with a smile: "I'm hungry, eat a piece." ”

Sister He handed him a piece and said with a smile: "You eat slowly, we have already barbecued a lot, and you can't finish it in a few days." ”

Xiao Ye was eating barbecue, and when he came to the entrance of the cave, he saw that the rain had not stopped, and he said worriedly: "The proprietor has been drenched by the rain yesterday morning, and there must be no barbecue to eat today, I have to go and see." ”

He packed more than ten pieces of roast beef in a leather bag to go to see the proprietor, and the three of Sister He persuaded him to go after the rain stopped, he said: "Who knows when the rain will stop, the rain is not heavy at this time, and I will come back soon." ”

He smoked and guarded the cigarette, fearing that the fire would be extinguished by the rain. Carrying the barbecue to the east of the river, he soon came to the entrance of the cave where the proprietor lived, when Xiaodong was about to enter the cave, he saw Xiao Ye coming, and shouted loudly: "Mother, Xiao Ye is here!" ”

When the whole family heard that Xiao Ye had arrived, they were very happy, and Xiao Ye brought the barbecue and said, "Owner, you must be hungry, eat the barbecue." The whole family was very grateful to Xiao Ye, he was indeed so hungry that he took the barbecue and ate it.

Xiao Ye looked at the width and height of the entrance of the main cave, and said to Xiao Dong, who was eating barbecue: "You can burn a small fire two steps away from the entrance of the cave, and the smoke can flow from the top of the cave, and the rain will not be drenched, and the fire will not be extinguished for a long time, and you can eat barbecue meat at any time." ”

Xiaodong said excitedly: "This method is great, the cave where my mother lives is very deep, and there are a lot of hay and firewood piled up in it, I will go and get it immediately." ”

Xiaodong ran into the hole, and soon came with dry firewood and hay, and the whole family heard that the hole could be lit with a small fire, and they all came to the mouth of the cave, Xiaoye quickly lit the hay with a cigarette butt fire, and then lit the dry firewood, and the small fire was lit, and the smoke flowed from the top of the hole. The whole family was very happy, especially the proprietor who smiled from ear to ear. Da Dongzi and Er Dongzi brought beef barbecue again.

Xiao Ye said: "You should add firewood often, don't let the fire go out, and get a few small stones to put around the fire, and you can sit on people." ”

The whole family really admires Xiao Ye, the fourth sister and the fifth sister like this young, smart and capable young man from the heart, they don't leave Xiao Ye, and ask the east and the west, Xiao Ye takes the trouble to answer questions for the two sisters. Seeing this, the proprietor knew the hearts of the two daughters, she smiled and said nothing, how much she hoped that Xiao Ye would live with her two daughters, and she also hoped very much to give birth to a ...... of a smart and capable little hero like Xiao Ye.

In the afternoon, the rain stopped, and the sun was seen again. Xiao Ye said to the proprietor: "The proprietor, your whole family is here, there are a few things to do this afternoon and tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, one is to immediately light three big fires for everyone to barbecue and eat; The second is to look for spring water, I think the river water is flooded and cannot be eaten, the spring water is clear and can be eaten for a long time; The third is to look for tobacco leaves, everyone should learn to smoke, learn to smoke, and be sure to keep the fire. ”

After hearing this, the proprietor immediately said: "What Xiao Ye said is very good, Da Dongzi, Er Dongzi, Xiao Dong, your three brothers must do what Xiao Ye said, the third sister and the fourth sister must protect Xiao Ye, you all go." ”

The fourth sister and the fifth sister followed Xiao Ye to the place where the fire was burned, under the arrangement of Da Dongzi, 20 people carried hay and dry firewood, and soon piled a pile of hay and dry firewood, and continued to carry dry firewood, Xiao Ye quickly lit the first fire, and soon the second and third big fires were lit one after another, and people cheered again, and they all brought beef barbecue, especially the children, running, jumping, shouting to eat barbecue meat, the scene was really lively......

Xiao Ye went to the hilly forest area to look for tobacco leaves and spring water, the fourth sister of the east and the fifth sister of the east followed closely every inch, looking for a long time, the sky was about to get dark and finally in the north of the bamboo forest, five miles away from home found that the spring water was bubbling from the ground, and a water was formed in the place of the bubble, Xiao Ye tasted it, the spring water was salty in the mouth, it was very delicious, the fourth sister of the east and the fifth sister of the east also drank a few sips, and they all agreed that it was delicious.

Xiaoye cut a big bamboo with a stone axe in the bamboo forest, cut it into a person high, opened up the bamboo joints, filled a bamboo tube with spring water, returned to the owner's residence, and gave the owner a small bamboo tube, and the owner drank it and kept shouting: "It's delicious, it's delicious!" ”

Xiao Ye said: "This is the spring water, you can go there to fill the water in the future, the fourth sister and the fifth sister know that place." At this time, it was dark, it was raining heavily, and there was heavy thunder, Xiao Ye was busy going back, and the fourth and fifth sisters held Xiao Ye's hand tightly.

The proprietor kindly said, "It's dark and you can't see the road, and it's raining heavily, so let's stay here tonight." The two sisters didn't wait for Xiao Ye to answer, so they persuaded him and pulled him into the cave to .......

In the morning, the fourth sister woke up Xiao Ye and said, "Get up and eat barbecue." ”

Xiao Ye followed the fourth sister to the entrance of the cave, and saw that the proprietor's whole family was by the fire, the proprietor looked at him with a smile, and said, "Eat barbecue, we have all eaten, and when you have eaten barbecue, I want to ask you to help light the fire on the grass again." ”

Xiao Ye took the barbecue handed by the fourth sister of the east, and ate it in a big gulp, he looked outside the cave, the sky was indeed clear, the sun had risen, he quickly ate the barbecue, quickly lit a cigarette and smoked, and said, "Let's go, light the fire." The whole family, except for the proprietor who stayed in the cave, followed Xiaoye to the grass.

Xiao Ye saw that where the original three fires were, three piles of hay and firewood had already been piled up, and people were standing around with raw meat, waiting for Xiao Ye to light the fire and roast the meat to eat. Xiao Ye was busy lighting the first fire, he called Xiao Dong to his side, and at the same time, gave Xiao Dong the cigarette and taught Xiao Dong to light the second and third fires. Xiaodong jumped up happily and shouted, "I can light the fire, I can light the fire!" "People are happy that Xiaodong can light the fire. The fire was lively again, and the children were screaming loudest, and the meat was still cooked, and the children were clamoring to eat it.

Xiao Ye asked Da Dongzi to arrange some people to make torches, and arrange some people to look for tobacco leaves with him. Erdongzi, Xiaodong, East Fourth Sister and East Fifth Sister are all vying to learn to collect tobacco leaves with Xiao Ye, Xiao Ye led them to the hilly forest area, found that there are a lot of tobacco leaves, and soon collected a few big trees, Xiao Ye cut a few tender bamboos, East Fourth Sister and East Fifth Sister are competing to take bamboo, everyone returned to the fire It was noon, the three big fires were full of people, all barbecued meat to eat, Xiao Ye and Hedong three brothers, the two sisters returned to the owner's cave, the owner was very happy, and asked Xiao Ye to sit by the fire. Xiao Ye said: "At noon today, let everyone eat the best bamboo tube meat, and Xiaodong will go with me." ”

Xiao Ye took Xiao Dong to the river, made a few handfuls of thin mud, wrapped them in plant leaves, and asked Xiao Dong to take them, he pulled a large handful of grass, and returned to the cave with Xiao Dong, he smiled and said: "You see how I make bamboo tube meat, you will make it in the future." ”

The proprietor's family didn't know what the bamboo tube meat was, they looked at Xiaoye very seriously, Xiaoye cut the tender bamboo into sections, leaving only one bamboo joint, cut the beef into small pieces and put it into the bamboo tube, leaving an empty head, and then filled it with a small amount of salty spring water, at the mouth of the bamboo tube, plugged it tightly with grass, and then pasted with thin mud, sealed the mouth of the bamboo tube, and put it in the fire to burn. When Xiao Ye was making the second tube, the three brothers and two sisters of Da Dongzi were busy learning to make bamboo tube meat, Xiao Ye smiled and said, "You guys are really fast." ”

The bamboo tube meat they made, all after Xiao Ye picked up and checked, put it into the fire to burn, about the time to smoke two cigarettes, Xiao Ye asked everyone to get the bamboo tube, with a bone knife to gently open the bamboo flowers, the green fragrance of the bamboo tube meat came to the nose, everyone couldn't wait to eat a piece, it was very happy, the proprietor said with a feeling: "This bamboo tube meat has a salty taste, and there is a green fragrance, it is really delicious, more delicious than barbecue meat!" The brothers and sisters laughed one by one, and they all boasted that Xiao Ye was amazing......

Xiao Ye was happy to see everyone, and he was very satisfied. He said to the proprietor: "If you want to have barbecue every day, there is bamboo meat to eat, you must learn to smoke and keep the fire, you have seen that these two times the rain extinguished the fire, it was the cigarette butt fire in my hand to light the fire, today I collected a lot of tobacco leaves, dry immediately can smoke, wet has been placed next to the fire to dry, can be used tonight." ”

The proprietor immediately said: "Starting tonight, everyone will learn to smoke and smoke, and we must keep the fire." ”

That night, the proprietor came to the three fires, and she said loudly: "Listen, everyone, our three fires are Xiaoye, who came here from thousands of miles away, and helped us light them with cigarette butt fires. It rained in the past two days, and the big fire was extinguished twice, and it was also re-lit by Xiaoye with a cigarette butt fire, our big fire can only burn more and more, even if it is extinguished by the rain, it must also be lit with a cigarette butt fire soon, from tonight, except for children, we must learn to roll cigarettes, learn to smoke, I also learn to smoke, to keep the fire, to eat barbecue meat every day. ”

The prestige of the proprietor is quite high, as soon as she called, everyone took action, regarded Xiao Ye as a teacher, studied very seriously, and quickly learned to collect tobacco leaves, roll cigarettes, and smoke. Since then, in order to keep the fire, they consciously smoke every day, and there is a lot of rain in the south, as long as the fire is extinguished by the rain, they can quickly relight the fire with cigarette butts......
