Under the leadership of Uncle Gaoshan, after the mountain tribe eliminated the tigers, the people were excited for a while, and their lives were much better. However, due to the lack of fire, the effect of the hunt is still poor, and the safety of human life is not guaranteed. Despite the hard work that people work every day, they still live a very hard life. The number of people who get sick from eating raw meat is increasing, and death is happening from time to time, and everyone is very sad and worried about whether the mountain tribes will survive.

Uncle Takayama, who often had insomnia in search of the problem of fire, gathered everyone on the lawn after repeated reflection, and said: "Over the past year or so, there have been many incidents, and many people have died from diseases, all of which are caused by the loss of fire and the illness after eating raw meat. Without fire, it is difficult to hunt, and it is often threatened by wild beasts. If we want to survive, we must find a way to find the fire, get it back, and relight the fire. I decided that from tomorrow, I will go in four directions, southeast, northwest, and north, to find the fire, Xiaoshan will take one person to the east, Xiaoshu will take one person to the south, Xiaoye will take one person to the west, and who else will go to the north? ”

At this time, Xiao Zhuang volunteered and said: "I would like to go to the north." Uncle Gao Shan took his hand and said, "Has your body recovered?" Xiao Zhuang jumped twice with his feet, patted his hand on his chest and said, "My injury has healed early."

Uncle Gao Shan said happily: "Okay, you will take one person to the north." Uncle Gao Shan knew that Xiaozhuang and Xiaohua had been in love for a long time, and added: "If you can get the fire back, I will marry Xiaohua to you."

Xiaohua's face was blushing, burying her head, but she was very happy in her heart. Xiao Zhuang was very happy and said: "I must find the fire back and let Xiaohua be my wife." The crowd applauded and cheered.

At this time, Uncle Gao Shan continued: "Within three days, regardless of whether the fire is found or not, we must rush back, so as not to worry everyone, we will prepare separately today, and it will be sent early tomorrow morning." ”

The next day, just after dawn, everyone had eaten breakfast, and they all came to see off the people who were looking for the fire, and the eight people were happy and full of confidence.

Walking the hill to the east, with a young man named Xiaomu, two people holding wooden sticks, with two large pieces of meat set off, they walked and walked, walked all day. Except for the forest or the forest, they were afraid of getting lost, so they made marks as they walked. When you are hungry, you eat a few bites of meat, and when you find a wild fruit, you eat a few. At night, I climbed a big tree to sleep. The next day, I continued walking, and after walking for another half day, it was still an endless forest. In the afternoon, Xiaoshan said, "It seems that there will be no fire in this forest, and if there is a fire, the forest will be burned sooner." Let's go back, or we won't be able to go back within the allotted three days." Xiao Mu said: "Listen to you, let's go back, there will be no fire in this big forest at all." So they went back.

Walking through the small trees in the south, with a young man named Little Stone, they carried sticks in their hands, and carried enough meat to go south. They went through a grove and found a small river, the water was very clear, they went along the river, and when they were hungry, they ate a few mouthfuls of meat, drank a few mouthfuls of water, and at night they slept on a tree, and the next day they went into a forest, and when they entered the forest, they were astonished, and saw many snakes, some large and some small, some climbing on the ground, some coiled in the trees. They did not dare to go any further, and withdrew from the forest, and after walking for more than a day and a half, they did not find the shadow of the fire, so they had to rush back at the appointed time.

Xiao Ye, who went to the west, took a young man named Xiao Shui, who also held wooden sticks and brought a few pieces of meat, and rushed to the west with great hopes. The two of them walked through a small forest, and then continued on, into a very large primeval forest, and as they walked, they made marks, and when they were hungry, they ate two mouthfuls of meat, and the more they walked, the hotter and hotter, and they could not find water to drink, which was very uncomfortable. They looked around for wild fruits, and suddenly they found several monkeys not far ahead, eating fruit on a fruit tree, and seeing that there were many wild fruits on the fruit tree. They climbed up the tree and grabbed the fruit with the monkey, and the clever and mischievous monkey did not pay attention to them at all, and kept jumping up and down to pick the fruit, but it could only take one in its hand, so it picked one and threw one. They climbed up the tree and did not pick a single fruit, and they were very embarrassed, but at last they came down from the tree and picked up a few fruits that the monkey had thrown away. They ate the fruit and hurried away. The mischievous monkeys screamed in the trees, and laughed at them with their ugly mouths, and they were so angry and amused that they ignored the monkeys' ridicule and went on their way.

That night, they climbed a big tree and slept. Soon after dark, I found a pack of wolves howling under a big tree, which was really terrifying. The wolves circled around the tree, but they couldn't bite them. They were still asleep there, and they had been tossed by wolves all night. The next morning, the wolf had no choice but to leave in desperation.

He ate a few bites of meat and ate one of the fruits that was left behind. Xiao Ye was eating, and while thinking, if he continued to go forward, there would definitely be no fire, if there was a fire, this forest would have burned early, and the monkeys and wolves would have been scared away. He said to Xiao Shui: "There will be no fire going forward, let's go back today and find a way out of the forest."

Xiaoshui also felt that it made sense, so he said, "Okay, let's go back." They got down the tree and hurried back and forth, and just returned to the edge of the forest, at this time, several hungry wolves chased after them, and Xiaoye shouted loudly: "Xiaoshui, hurry up the tree." Then he immediately climbed a big tree, Xiao Shui also climbed the tree, the evil wolf chased under the tree, jumped up and bit Xiao Shui, Xiao Ye saw this and shouted: "Xiao Shui climb, climb quickly!" Xiaoshui was almost bitten by a wolf that jumped up, and because he was too scared and too nervous, he accidentally slipped his foot and fell off the tree. The evil wolf pounced forward and bit off Xiao Shui's neck, bleeding all over the ground, and Xiao Shui screamed and died. Several wolves scrambled to bite the little water, and finally, when only one foot was left, they were bitten by a vicious wolf and ran wildly, and several wolves scrambled to chase it.

Xiao Ye watched the wolf eat the little water on the tree, and cried sadly. He saw several vicious wolves chasing them into the dense forest for one foot in order to eat a small amount of water. He thought that this was the opportunity to escape, and quickly got down from the tree, hurried through the forest, and hurried back.

On the afternoon of the third day, Xiaoshan, Xiaoshu, and Xiaoye returned to the tribe one after another. When the people heard that the fire seeker had returned, they all rushed to hear the news. The three of them successively reported the situation of looking for fire to Uncle Gao Shan, especially Xiao Ye, telling him and Xiaoshui about the situation of meeting a hungry wolf, crying bitterly while reporting, the fire could not be found, and his friend Xiaoshui was eaten by the wolf. The men burst into tears, and the girls burst into tears. Especially Xiaohua cried even more sadly, what a good young man Xiaoshui is! Usually mowing hay and raising livestock is such a hard-working, careful, living person, just go and never return. The price paid in search of the fire is simply too great.

At this time, everyone was worried about Xiao Zhuang and Xiao Mu, the stipulated time was that they must rush back within three days, today is the third day, the sky is almost dark and Xiao Zhuang and Xiao Mu are not seen, should there be no trouble! Xiao Tao and Xiao Hua were more worried and anxious than others, they were really worried and kept crying. Uncle Gao Shan was also very anxious, but he pretended to be very calm and told everyone to go back to the nest to sleep, it was very dangerous on this lawn. The people soon returned to their nests.

Xiaoye and Xiaohua discussed going to visit Xiaotao and Xiaotao's father together. The brother and sister came to Xiao Tao's house and saw Xiao Tao crying like a tearful person, Xiao Tao's father also cried and said: "Xiao Zhuang should come back even if he didn't find the fire, why haven't he come back yet, shouldn't he be in trouble"! Yes, I lost my wife not long ago, and if I lose my son again, how tragic it would be.

At this time, Xiao Tao cried and said: "My brother usually feels the most sorry for me, he lets me do everything, my mother is gone, if there is no brother, how should my father and I live"! Xiao Ye was very distressed when he saw Xiao Tao crying so sadly, and comforted him and said: "Xiao Tao, don't be sad, Xiao Zhuang will not be fine, he will definitely come back, don't be angry." Xiaohua took Xiao Tao's hand and cried and said: "I'm as worried as you, I think Xiao Zhuang is good, good and smart, he won't be fine, sleep well, maybe tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, Xiao Zhuang will come back." Although Xiaohua is persuading Xiao Tao, she is actually more worried about Xiao Zhuang's safety than Xiao Tao, and she can't help but say as if she has lost her soul......

Their brother and sister said goodbye to Little Peach and Little Peach's father and returned home. Uncle Gao Shan hadn't slept yet, and when he saw his brother and sister coming back, he said, "It's getting late, go to bed." He pondered again, he knew in his heart that Xiao Zhuang was a smart and brave young man, and the tasks given to him could be completed on time every time, what happened this time? What trouble did he encounter? Am I wrong to arrange to search for the fire this time? He thought of what his wife said when she was dying: "For the sake of our tribe, for the sake of our descendants, you must find the fire". Oh, yes! Would our tribe survive without fire? Will our descendants survive? He himself replied to himself: I am in the right arrangement! Uncle Gao Shan is almost 48 years old, he has lost his wife and lost his youngest son, and he is so sad. He was so tired and tired that he ......fell asleep in a daze.

Xiaohua returned to the nest, late at night and still hadn't fallen asleep, she thought a lot, thinking that if Xiaozhuang could successfully take the fire back, we would have fire again, and everyone would be able to live a good life with fire, I would soon become a bride, I was very happy to think of this, and felt that my face was hot. I thought about what if Xiao Zhuang went wrong, how could I live! Thinking of this, she was scared and felt cold all over, and she also fell asleep in a daze. She saw Xiao Zhuang happily coming back with a torch and shouted that I had brought the fire back, and I had taken the fire back. Xiaohua is so happy! also shouted: "We have fire again, we have fire again!" She woke up.

Uncle Gao Shan was also awakened by Xiaohua's shout. He comforted his daughter lovingly and said, "My daughter is dreaming, Xiaozhuang can get the fire back." Xiaohua responded: "Alas! I dreamed that Xiao Zhuang took the fire back, if it weren't for the dream, then we would have a fire again." She recalled this dream repeatedly, thinking and thinking, and before she knew it, she entered the dream again, and she saw Xiaomu running back in a panic, shouting: "Oh no! Oh no! The tinder was not found, and Xiao Zhuang was eaten by a wolf! Xiaohua was taken aback and cried out in pain: "Xiao Zhuang! My little strong"! This miserable cry woke up Uncle Gao Shan again, and he woke up Xiaohua and said, "Daughter, you are dreaming again, don't worry, Xiaozhuang will come back." Xiaohua woke up with tears in her eyes. She replied again: "Alas! I dreamed that Xiao Zhuang was eaten by a wolf again, how nice it would be if this was really a dream! Xiao Zhuang must not make a mess! ”

The father and daughter could no longer sleep, and waited until dawn with their eyes open. Uncle Gao Shan said, "Daughter, let's eat something." Xiaohua replied, "I'm not hungry, Dad, you can eat." Xiaohua can eat there, go down to the nest shed to cut forage for the lamb, she and everyone are anxiously waiting for Xiao Zhuang's smooth return, but no one knows when Xiao Zhuang will return.
