8 It's hard to have nothing
Yao Xiaoqing took towels, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and pots and bowls to the creek together, washed the pots and bowls, and brushed her teeth.
After scrubbing her body with the stream, the golden retriever sat on the side and looked at her curiously.
Yao Xiaoqing said with a smile: "Little golden retriever, you have to watch girls take a bath." ”
The golden retriever simply ran to her side, looked up at her for a while, pouted her ass and asked her to hold water and wash her face.
Looking at its strange appearance, Yao Xiaoqing laughed happily.
The water was a little cold, Yao Xiaoqing washed up in two or two, took off the animal skin shoes on his feet, quickly scrubbed his stinky feet, shook them a few times and put them in.
Scratching the head of the chicken nest and touching the cold stream, he still didn't dare to wash his hair. sighed, thinking that there were so many things needed, Yao Xiaoqing didn't know where to start? How do I get started?
Looking at the thick trunk of the bowl, thinking that two bowls can be used by three people, it is very inconvenient to eat, and thinking of the stone pots and stone bowls in the tribe, let's start with something to fill the stomach!
"Father makes two wooden bowls."
Yaohu nodded, "Bring the wood." ”
Yao Xiaoqing immediately went over and brought the wood and sapper shovel. He sawed the wood into a section about five inches long and handed it to Yaohu. He took out a stone knife and dug it out of the wood.
Yao Xiaoqing's eyes lit up after seeing it, and when he went to the tribe, he could dig a wooden basin and dig a bathtub to take a bath when he found a big tree. The thought of taking a bath made her scalp itch, and she didn't have to think about it to know that she must have lice on her body.
Relying on the little things in the bag and the pile of foot boards are not a long-term solution, you have to solve the food problem first, and you can't even fill your stomach, how can you talk about hygiene?
Yao Hu and Mu Feng made bowls, and Yao Xiaoqing took those branches and vines and began to weave the back basket.
I recalled the scene when my father and grandfather were weaving the basket, and found a dozen thumb-thick branches and put them aside for later use.
Take out the vines and straighten them aside, cross the prepared branches vertically and horizontally, and then wrap them around the branches with thin rattans, beat them tightly with wooden sticks, weave them one by one, and slowly the bottom will take shape.
Cut a few thick branches and insert a few more vertically, and then insert a few at the bottom in a rice zigzag, and erect all the branches facing upward. The wooden wind bowl was no longer dug up, squatting beside her and asking while watching, Yao Xiaoqing carefully explained to him according to the compilation method in his memory.
Yaohu observed her while digging wood, and he couldn't see what she was doing for a long time.
"Xiaoqing, what are you doing?"
"Carry the basket, you can use it to carry back when you go out to pick up something." Yao Xiaoqing didn't raise his head, and struggled with those branches and vines.
Mu Feng looked itchy and took a vine, "Xiaoqing, I'll help you." ”
"Okay." Yao Xiaoqing happily handed him the work in his hand.
After correcting Mu Feng twice, Yao Xiaoqing found that Mu Feng was a little clumsy except for the first two laps, but after two laps, he showed that he had a pair of skillful hands, and it only took half an hour for the back basket to be half a foot high.
Yao Xiaoqing sat by the fire, looked at the wooden wind weaving back basket, looked at it for a while, and then his head began to grow little by little.
Yaohu said to her: "Xiaoqing, let your brother do it, you can sleep!" ”
"Okay." Scratching the itchy scalp, he took the sleeping bag to a place more than a meter away from the fire, looked at the sleeping bag, worried that there were really lice on his head and fell inside, so he didn't dare to sleep in the sleeping bag, spread it out on the ground and lay down on his side.
When the golden retriever saw her lying down, he also ran to her side and snuggled up to her feet.
Yao Xiaoqing thought that she would not be able to sleep, and it didn't take two minutes to lie down, and then she fell into a deep sleep.

Moon Eminem returned to the tribe in hiding, and before he entered the cave, the black badger's woman, Yezi, quietly walked over, grabbed her and whispered: "Eminem, the leader and the black badger are going to drive you out." ”
Yue Emu looked at Ye Zi, "We belong to the Yaoshan tribe, why did they drive us away?" ”
Ye Zi looked around cautiously, and whispered in her ear: "Dawu is gone, I heard them say that they want to drive out the people who are good with Yaohu, and those who can't hunt and work, you should be careful." After Ye Zi finished speaking, he left in a panic.
Although he had already guessed the beaver's plan, he really wanted to leave the tribe, and Yue Emu was still a little panicked.
Hurriedly walked towards the cave, looking at the mountain and the boulder lying there, and the bull sitting there in a daze, thinking about how to tell them the news?
Shan heard the footsteps, opened his eyes and looked at her weakly, "Mother, is the leader awake?" ”
Yue Emu nodded and sat down beside the three of them, took out the black food, broke one of them and gave some, and said with a sad face: "Xiaoqing said that the leader is awake." When I came back, I heard the leaves say that the black badger and the fire beaver are discussing to drive us away, what do you say? Without the tribe, we would be savages. Tsukiam's tears flowed.
The bull limped to the mountain, looked at him and whispered, "Mountain, Dashi, let's go to the leader of Yaohu." ”
Dashi had a bitter face, "They drove the leader away that day, so we should go together." ”
Shan looked at them, "Let's go to the chief, he won't want us." Mother, you go to find Yu, Uncle Shui, Yun Eminem, and Uncle Worm, and tell them that we will go together. ”
"Okay." Yue Eminem got up, and the bull grabbed her, "Eminem, don't tell them about the leader waking up." ”
Eminem nodded, "I know that the beaver has always wanted the leader to die, and I can't let him know about it." ”

In the cave where the leader of the Yaoshan tribe lived, four sturdy men sat around. There were several pieces of meat in the open space between the four of them, and several of them ate with their mouths full of oil.
The short and strong man was called the black badger, and I saw that he had a long face, dark skin, a pair of shining mouse eyes, large nostrils, two thick lips, and a flattering smile.
Stretching his neck, he whispered to the fire civet who was wearing a leader's feather crown and looked like a tiger on his back, and with a fierce expression: "Chief, those people are Yaohu, and those two old guys, they used to help Yaohu and drive them out, and the rest of the food is enough." ”
The man named the mountain rat, who looked like a thief, said eagerly: "Chief, the black badger is right, I will go and drive them away." ”
The fire beaver glanced at him, and said to the lean man who was eating meat in a muffled voice, "Flower Fox, go and see if Dawu has returned, and ask him to come and ask him what he thinks." ”
The flower fox grabbed a piece of meat and took a bite, before he said: "Great chief, Dawu said, he hides when he hunts good things, and he doesn't give food to those who can't hunt." ”
The fire beaver looked at the flower fox who kept eating with a calm face, "He went out to hunt, why didn't he tell me?" ”
"Chief, he said he didn't want to keep that bunch of waste." The mountain rat said.
The black badger also wanted to shake off those burdens, "Chief, you look at other tribes, drive out those who are injured and can't hunt and find food, and go out to be savages, and the more food there is, the more warriors there are." We have few warriors, that is, we have raised too many useless people, drive those people away, and when we hunt food and go to Qiushan to exchange women and come back, our Yaoshan tribe will definitely become a big tribe. ”
What the black badger said was what the fire beaver had always wanted to do, and he felt that this was fair, and the tribe should not raise those useless people and drag down the tribe.
The fire beaver acted as if he was forced to agree to their request. After hesitation, he said in a heavy tone: "Okay! You are the warriors of my Yaoshan tribe, and I will drive out those useless people according to your request. ”
