24 types of land
The two of them turned over the field again with a wooden shovel. Yao Xiaoqing found that when he stepped on the wooden shovel and pressed it hard, the wooden shovel fell in, and the soil turned out was black and oily, and those who had planted the land knew that such soil was full of fertility.
After the ground was turned over, Yao Xiaoqing took Shan Emu to divide the land into three compartments, and a piece of land was divided into three compartments. The millet seeds were sprinkled and covered with a thin layer of soil after sprinkling.
I planted most of the selected beans, pumpkin seeds, and pepper seeds in the ground by hand. Yao Xiaoqing was secretly worried about whether these pumpkin seeds and pepper seeds could grow in time and space.
Shovel the soil and make ridges to plant the taro, and half a basket of taro is planted in three ridges. Dig a pit and plant four yam plants on the edge of the ground, and build a few shelves for yam to climb vines.
The two of them cut down a thick branch from Expo, and put it around the ground, wrapped vines around it, and made a fence wall with vines, and finally made a fence gate out of vines and branches.
He brought another bucket and poured it again. After being busy for most of the day, I finally planted it, and my stomach was rumbling with hunger.
Yao Xiaoqing looked at the fence wall and thought: Such a fence wall can only resist some small animals, and large wild animals like wild boars have no effect at all.
Shan Amu thought that he had grown corn and beans a few times, and only today did he know that farming was also so exquisite.
looked at Yao Xiaoqing and said with a smile: "Xiaoqing, farming in the tribe, everyone scatters the seeds in the soil and doesn't care about it, if you plant like this, can you harvest a lot of millet and beans?" ”
Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "Yes, the grain harvest will be good in this way, and we will have to weed and fertilize in a few days." ”
Speaking of fertilization, Yao Xiaoqing thought that when Yaohu and they finished cutting down the tree, it was time to dig two thatched pits.
Touching his hungry stomach, he said to Shan Eminem: "Shan Eminem, let's dig some wild vegetables and go back to fry wild vegetable omelets to eat." ”
Shan Eminem smiled: "There are wild vegetables in the cave!" ”
The two of them said to the people who were cutting down the tree, and walked back with the wooden shovel.
Yao Xiaoqing suddenly saw a golden shadow, and shouted excitedly, "Golden retriever, golden retriever, sister is here." ”
Hearing her shout, the Golden Retriever turned around and ran over, squeaking and pounced on her.
Yao Xiaoqing hurriedly hugged it, her face was filled with joy of being lost and regained, knowing that it would not answer, and asked again and again: "Where have you been, Golden Retriever, have you gone home?" Who else is in your family? ”
The golden retriever scratched his ears and cheeks and looked at Yao Xiaoqing, opened his mouth and smiled happily.
Yao Xiaoqing hugged the golden retriever and said with a smile: "Let's go, go back and my sister will make duck quiches for you to eat." ”
Shanami was also happy that the golden retriever could come back, and muttered, "It's good that the golden retriever is back!" With it, we won't be afraid of worms. ”
The two of them returned to the cave, and Yun Eminem and Hua were still roasting jerky. Hua pulled Yao Xiaoqing to look at the earthen jars she had made, only to see four large jars and several half-sized jars burned in the fire pit.
Yao Xiaoqing smiled and gave a thumbs up, "Hua, you are so capable, you can make so many jars so quickly." ”
Hua looked at her with a smile, feeling more and more like her, obviously so much younger than herself, but it made her feel at ease.
When Yaya saw the golden retriever coming back, she happily showed the golden retriever the clay doll she pinched, and the golden retriever also learned to play with the mud and paste the mud everywhere.
Yao Xiaoqing saw that the lard in the jar was already cold, and the oil had not yet completely solidified, so he carefully took the lard jar to the corner and put it away.
When the jar of burnt fat sausage was opened, a smell of meat came to my nose.
"It's so fragrant," Shan Emu sniffed and pointed to the fat intestine in the jar, "Xiaoqing, this is the food cooked in that large intestine?" ”
Yao Xiaoqing smiled and nodded, "Yes, I will stew it in the jar in the morning." ”
"I want to eat it when I smell it, so let's cook what we washed today."
"When the seasoning runs out, it won't taste so good if you make it again."
"It's also better than the food we eat in the tribe." Shan Eminem smiled and turned off the fire in the stove, and the two began to fry duck eggs and wild vegetable cakes.
After frying a wooden pot of cakes, Shan Amu went to call back Yaohu and them, and when he returned, he dragged back a few bundles of rattans and tough vines.
Yao Xiaoqing found that the golden retriever didn't like to eat meat, but liked to eat duck egg pancakes, and after eating a cake, he ran outside the cave and climbed a tree to sleep.
The fat intestines are really popular, a large jar of fat intestines and pork belly, and everyone eats them cleanly with the cakes.
After the men had eaten, they took the guys down the mountain to cut down the trees, and Yun Eminem and Shan Eminem took the maids to look for wild vegetables.
Yao Xiaoqing stayed on the mountain to boil water and wash his head, and sure enough, he found lice in the basin. Yao Xiaoqing, who was in the cold, changed seven or eight basins of water, but found no trace of lice.
Wearing his hair loose, he searched for lice-killing herbs in his mind, and after thinking about it for a long time, he remembered that Baibu was a lice-killing medicine.
Picked up the stone knife and took the golden retriever down the mountain, and it didn't take long to find Baibu among the vines at the foot of the mountain, dug up a few Baibu with a stone knife, and cut a bundle of wormwood and tied it back to the mountain with vines.
Tie wormwood into a small bundle and dry it. I took a part of Baibu, washed it and boiled a jar of water, buried my head in the potion and soaked it for a few minutes, wrapped it in a towel and stuffed it for a while, and washed it again before I was relieved.
When she packed up and went down the mountain, she saw that the forest in front of the cave had been cut down, and the large and small timbers had been piled up into a hill.
Walking north, I found that the water flowing down from the ravine, which had been collecting in the low-lying places for many years, had formed several large ponds, and the water in the ponds had overflowed to the outside and washed out a small ditch.
The water in the pond is very clear, it is overgrown with aquatic plants, and you can see fish swimming in the water when you stand on the edge of the pond. Yao Xiaoqing thought about letting you go for the time being, and when my sister found ginger, green onions, and garlic, she would always have a taste.
Looking at the mountain to the east, and looking at the land cleared out at the foot of the mountain and a few ponds, Yao Xiaoqing is really satisfied with the environment here.

Mu Feng and the three of them caught a stag and two badger pigs in the mountains, and also caught a bunch of rabbits, and the three of them happily carried the prey out of the valley and walked back. Halfway down, Mu Feng felt that there was someone behind him, turned his head sharply, and saw two figures quickly dodging behind a big tree.
Mu Feng whispered to the Yan who was walking in front of him, "Yi, someone is following us behind." ”
"How many are there? Where is it? Bi asked in a low voice.
"I don't know how many of them, I only see two figures."
The bull whispered to the two of them, "Let's hurry up and hide on the hillside ahead to see who it is." ”
The three of them quickened their pace and walked quickly to the hillside in front of them, hiding in the bushes.
I saw two tall men with stone spears in their hands and ochre-red wooden charm totems painted on their arms and chests, chasing behind the hillside and looking around. The two of them searched for a while and found no trace of Mu Feng and them, so they took the stone spear and left.
The three of them hid in the bushes and waited for a while before they came out and walked back quickly.
When a few people went down the mountain and went home, it was already dark, and the three of them saw Yun Amu and Yao Xiaoqing standing on the platform and looking at the back mountain.
Mu Feng ran to Yao Xiaoqing with a string of hares and two squirrels, followed by the bull and the biao carrying the prey.
