Uncle Gao Shan and Aunt River walked and watched, Uncle Gao Shan found a few bison drinking water by the river, and saw the place where the bison graze. He said to Mrs. He: "Mrs. He, you immediately send 20 people to dig traps with stone knives and stone axes, dig two traps on the way where bison draught, dig four traps in places where bison, horses and sheep often move and graze, and dig a trap on the way where wolves steal and eat and raise sheep." Then you will have endless meat to eat, and you will be able to destroy the wolves. ”

After hearing this, Aunt He said happily: "I will immediately send 20 people, arranged by Uncle Gaoshan, and teach them to dig traps." ”

Aunt He soon brought 20 people with stone axes and stone knives in their hands, Uncle Gao Shan arranged for 3 of them to dig a trap, which must be dug well in the morning, people under the guidance of Uncle Gao Mountain, dug very hard, just at noon, all seven traps were completed, and covered with branches and grass. Uncle Gao Shan smiled and said to everyone: "Everyone has dug traps and sweated, and you will have endless meat to eat tonight." ”

At noon, everyone gathered around the big fire, eating fragrant barbecue, and people picked up several large tobacco leaves, and roasted them around the fire. Uncle Gao Shan said to Aunt He: "I have heard that the tribe farthest away from you is only half a day's walk, so it seems that the leaders of each tribe will arrive in the afternoon, and after we have eaten the barbecue, we should prepare to receive the guests." ”

Aunt He said: "I have made some preparations, the place to live is not worried, there are still many caves that are not inhabited, there is also food, we have more than 40 sheep in the circle, you can kill sheep to eat, there are many fruits on the trees by the river, in the afternoon I will send people to pick more back, the leaders of the 32 tribes get together for the first time, and they must be entertained." Uncle Gao Shan, what do you think needs to be prepared? ”

Uncle Gao Shan thought for a moment and said: "The food and accommodation of the river lady is very thoughtful, I think there are three things to prepare, the first thing is to burn another fire, the leaders want to discuss, use a fire, if the dry firewood is not enough, you can also use wet firewood to dry and burn; The second thing is to smoke more, everybody has to learn to smoke, the chiefs have to learn to smoke; The third thing is to send someone to the hill on the right, and pick up more oily bark, the more the better, for lighting at night, and when the bark is picked up, they will make torches out of dry branches, and each torch will be made with two pieces of bark in the middle, so that the torches are easy to light and very bright. ”

Aunt He said: "Okay, I'll arrange it according to the few things Uncle Gao Shan said......"

Uncle Gao Shan selected the dried tobacco leaves, and everyone rolled cigarettes, everyone learned very seriously, everyone smoked a few cigarettes, Uncle Gao Shan taught everyone to smoke, and said: "The fire you use is brought by this smoke, you have too much rain here, last night a heavy rain extinguished the fire, if this smoke does not retain the fire, the fire will be lost, and everyone can only eat bloody raw meat, so everyone must learn to smoke seriously." "He was very patient and taught everyone to smoke.

At this time, I heard the screams of wild cattle and wild sheep. Uncle Gao Shan said, "Bison, the sheep has fallen into the trap, everyone quickly take a stone axe and stick and kill the bison with me." ”

Aunt He was very happy, and led everyone to follow Uncle Gao Shan, and came to the river where the bison were screaming, and several bison saw that people were coming with stone axes and sticks, and they ran away one after another. Everyone was very happy to see a bison fall into the trap, and Uncle Gao Shan arranged for five people to cut down the cow's head with a stone axe. Uncle Gao Shan led everyone to the place where the sheep barked, and saw two big fat sheep and a small sheep falling into the trap. Aunt He said happily: "The meat for entertaining guests is no longer enough, and the sheep raised in the circle will not be killed for the time being."

Uncle Gao Shan said: "Aunt He, today is just a small harvest, there will be a big harvest in the future, you will have endless meat, beef intestines and sheep intestines told them not to throw away, but also used to fish for "water meat", tomorrow you can teach everyone to fish for "water meat"......

Before the dark, the leaders of the 31 tribes came one after another, and Aunt He warmly received everyone and introduced them one by one: "He is the mountain master who sent fire to us from far away; This is my eldest son, the leader of the Riverside Tree Tribe; That is my third daughter, the leader of the grass tribe by the river; The fourth daughter, the fifth daughter, and the sixth son are the leaders of the riverside flower tribe, the riverside water tribe, and the riverside grass tribe respectively......"

After the river lady introduced the 31 leaders one by one, she arranged for everyone to sit down on the stone bench of the big fire, Xiaoye and Caosan, accompanied by their temporary wife Sister He, Sister He, sat with the leaders, people sent barbecued beef and mutton, the leaders were eating barbecue meat for the first time, when they tasted it, they all exclaimed: "The meat of this fire barbecue is fresh, fragrant, so delicious, it is really delicious!" ”

Aunt He said: "I invite you to come this time, just to taste the taste of barbecue meat, and ask you to take the fire back, so that everyone can live a good life with fire." How to do it, please Uncle Gao Shan to tell you. ”

Uncle Gao Shan smoked a cigarette and said loudly: "Chiefs, this time you have come to the riverside tribe to live for three days, in order to make your tribe live a good life, you must learn how to make fire, how to smoke and keep fire, how to make torches and traps to hunt wild animals, how to destroy wolves, and how to fish for "water meat". As long as you study carefully for a few days, your tribe will hunt a lot of wild animals, people can eat fragrant barbecue meat, and tonight everyone can learn to smoke and smoke after they are full. The fire of these two big fires is sent by the cigarette butt fire, and only when you learn to smoke can you take the fire back......"

The hospitable people kept bringing barbecue meat to the chiefs, and the leaders listened carefully to Uncle Takayama's speech while eating, and they all nodded in approval. And when they had eaten their fill, they brought fruit again. Two of each leader, and then Xiaoye and Caosan gave a cigarette to the leaders, and Xiaoye and Caosan taught everyone to smoke, and everyone quickly learned, when the first cigarette was finished, Xiaoye and Caosan sent a second cigarette, and everyone lit the second cigarette on the first cigarette butt, and everyone learned it as soon as they learned. Seeing this, Uncle Gao Shan said happily: "Everyone learns quickly, and tomorrow I will teach you how to light the fire with cigarette butt fire......

The two beauties of the riverside tribe took the lead in singing and dancing, and the people of the two fires participated in the dancing procession, Xiaoye and Cao San beat the beat with wooden baskets, and the people danced vigorously, and the river lady pulled the mountain uncle who had not danced for many years, and also danced. It was the first time that the riverside tribe had been so lively.

The people on the other side of the nameless river looked at the fire in amazement, and people sang and danced around the fire, both curious and puzzled, watching the fire across the river to see the liveliness. People sang and danced until late at night and were reluctant to leave. Aunt He said loudly: "It's time for everyone to sleep, there will be more feelings tomorrow, the guests have arranged accommodation, let's rest." Then the singing and dancing stopped, and only a few returned to the cave, and most slept around the fire. Aunt He, Uncle Gao Shan, and Sister Hemei accompanied Xiaoye and Caosan back to the Zisi Cave to rest......

In the middle of the night, there was silence everywhere, and suddenly there was a howl of a wolf, which woke up Uncle Gaoshan, and he woke up Aunt He and said, "The wolf has fallen into the trap, quickly arrange 10 people, take stone axes and sticks, light torches and fight wolves with me." ”

Aunt He was very happy, and Uncle Gao Shan came to the big fire, she woke up the people who slept around the fire, dozens of people woke up, everyone lit the torches, took stone axes and sticks, ran to the place where the wolf cried, there were two wolves who saw the crowd coming with torches, and ran away in a hurry, and two wolves howled in the trap, when they saw the fire, they were scared to lie in the trap, Uncle Gao Shan told everyone to hit the wolf's head with a wooden stick, the wolf howled and jumped and could not escape, and was beaten to death by the stick after a while, people were very happy, and cheered excitedly:" The wolf was killed! The wolf was killed! Eat wolf meat today! The cry woke up all the people in the cave, and they all came to the trap to see the dead wolf.

Aunt He arranged for a few people to skin the wolves and eat wolf meat in the morning. The rest of the people returned to the fire, and the old man said to the chiefs, "Now you will learn how to make torches, and after you have eaten breakfast, we will go hunting." ”

Taught by the three of the little leaf grass, making torches is very simple, and each boss makes a few. At this time, people brought wolf meat, beef, mutton, and everyone happily barbecued meat to eat, and they kept saying: "Wolf meat is fresh, fragrant and delicious, much better than beef and mutton." After everyone was satisfied, Xiaoye and Caosan brought cigarettes again, and everyone lit cigarettes and smoked.

On this day, the sun rose in the east, the weather was very good, and the mountain uncle arranged for Xiaoye and Caosan to check the activities of bison and sheep. He also arranged for everyone to sharpen one end of the stick, sharpen the stone axe quickly, and get ready. At this time, Xiaoye and Cao San came back and said: "Bison, wild horses, and wild sheep have all gone to the grassland to graze, and if we outflank the east with traps from the north, west, and south, we will definitely have a big harvest." ”

Uncle Gao Shan thought for a moment, and said to Aunt He: "Aunt He, you arrange 20 people, plus 31 leaders, a total of more than 50 people, and immediately hunt." Uncle Gao Shan asked everyone to light torches, take wooden sticks and quietly outflank the bison herd, wild horse herd and wild sheep herd from the north, west and south, and more than 50 people shouted in unison: "Kill!!" Bison, horses, and sheep, seeing the crowd rushing with terrible torches and sticks, all fled to the east in a panic, and fell into the traps one after another, except for one trap near the fence, the other six traps were harvested, and some traps dropped two cows and three sheep, and a total of 8 cows, 2 horses, and 6 sheep were hunted. The leaders shouted excitedly, "We can kill the bison!" We dare to kill bison!! ”

The 31 leaders, who had been greatly inspired by this hunt, were all thinking about what their tribe should do. The people of the riverside tribes, in particular, were even more happy, and they were dancing with their hands, and none of them thought that there would be such a great harvest in a hunt, how could it not be happy?......

After the hunt was successful, Uncle Gao led the leaders to pick hay, leaves, and branches, and each person piled a small pile. Then, Uncle Gao Shan taught everyone to light a small fire with cigarette butts, and the leaders lit their own small fires one after another through many practices.

Uncle Gao Shan said: "Use torches to cooperate with trap hunting, you have done it yourself, you can also light the fire, after noon, I will teach you to collect tobacco leaves, smoke, smoke, keep the fire." Tomorrow I will teach you to fish for "water meat", and you will have endless food to eat in the future. When the chiefs heard this, they were very happy, and it was noon when they returned to the fire, and the people brought cattle, horses, sheep, and rabbits to the chiefs, and they roasted and ate them themselves, and the people again talked excitedly about the torches and the traps, and the smell of the barbecued meat.

More and more people are watching the excitement on the other side of the river. At this time, Uncle Gao Shan asked Xiao Ye to come to the river together, and the father and son saw countless people, looking at the fire and eating barbecue meat. Both father and son thought: they are also human beings, how can they also use fire? How do you get them all to eat barbecue meat?

Uncle Gao Shan thought for a moment and said: "Xiaoye, you and Cao Sanduo will find a way to send the fire to the other side of the river, so that more people can use the fire and eat fragrant roasted meat, I will concentrate on guiding the leaders to learn to collect tobacco leaves, roll cigarettes, and smoke; Dig traps, fish for "water meat", and after two days let them take the tinder themselves and light the fire of their own tribe. ”

Xiao Ye said: "Okay, I'll work with Cao San to find a way to send the fire to the other side of the river as soon as possible." So, Xiaoye immediately found Cao San to discuss sending the fire to the other side of the river......
