After Hua watched Yao Xiaoqing pack up a fish and come out, she said to her, "Xiaoqing, you go play for a while, and I'll do the rest." ”

"Okay!" Yao Xiaoqing pointed at the bitter gall, "Be careful not to break this thing, and don't lose the fish fat when you pick it up, I'll go ahead and get some spices back." ”

Hua didn't feel at all that there was anything wrong with being taught to do things by a twelve or thirteen-year-old child, and smiled softly, "I remember." ”

Yao Xiaoqing pulled out the dagger and went to the place where the ginger grew again, and glanced at the depths of the dense forest, but did not find anything abnormal.

Quickly break off a few gingers that have not yet budded, turn around and walk back.

Holding a handful of ginger sprouts, he pulled out a handful of houttuynia and desmodium on the way, and returned to the pond to see the flowers cleaning the killed fish.

Hua glanced up at her, "Xiaoqing, you wait a minute, I'll be fine." ”

"You wash slowly, I still have to wash these herbs!"

After the two of them washed themselves, they went to the waterhole under the ravine to wash the fish, herbs, and shoots before going back.

Halfway through the encounter, she met Shan Eminem who was carrying a bucket of pig offal, and she said with a smile: "There are fat intestines and pork belly, and you have caught so many fish back, how can you eat it?" ”

Yao Xiaoqing smiled, "Eminem, there are more than a dozen people!" You don't have to worry about running out of food. Is Worm Bo better? ”

Shan Emu smiled and said, "Wake up, I'm helping to barbecue there!" Xiaoqing, I washed the lard and put it in the bucket, Ah Yun is refining the oil for you to go back and see. ”

"Okay." Yao Xiaoqing followed the flower back to the courtyard and saw that Uncle Worm was really sitting there for barbecue. The people here are like this, even if they are sick and injured, as long as they are a little better, they will get up and work quickly, for fear that the high-level of the tribe will think that he will not be able to do his work and drive him out of the tribe to fend for himself.

"Uncle Worm, the snake venom on your body hasn't been completely cleared yet, you need to rest for a while."

Uncle Worm shook his head with a smile, "It's okay Xiaoqing, I'm much better, and roasting meat is not a tiring job." ”

Yao Xiaoqing looked at his still somewhat pale face, "Uncle worm, you have to listen to me, take medicine and rest for a while, and then work when you are better." ”

Shui Bo took the bamboo chopsticks in his hand, "Yes! Ah worm, you just listen to Xiaoqing, take the medicine and rest for a while before working. ”

"Hey! I listen to Xiaoqing. Tears flickered in his eyes.

Yao Xiaoqing strung the fish fat with bamboo skewers to dry, ate the food, went down the mountain to take a look at the things planted in the field, and went to the field to help press the kudzu strips.

When I finished work and went home, I found a stone that looked like a pestle on the way, and walked back with it.

＊＊＊＊

Yaohu and the others turned a hill and saw a group of men, women, and children walking over tiredly.

The first two tall men looked at them with stone axes in their hands, with wary expressions on their faces.

After approaching, Yu and Mu Feng in front glanced at them and walked over.

"Leader Yaohu," shouted the tall man with a round face at the head, rushed to Yaohu excitedly, and grabbed him, "Leader Yaohu, you didn't die in battle?" How did you get here? ”

Yaohu watched as he put down the wooden thatch he had raised, and a smile of surprise appeared on his face. Looking at his haggard appearance, he asked in surprise, "Muba, why did you come here?" What's wrong? ”

Muba said with grief and indignation: "The Giant Bear tribe attacked us a few days ago and forcibly occupied our tribe. Before the leader died, Mao and I were asked to take the rest of the clan and migrate to Shenmu Mountain. ”

Yaohu was also angry when he looked at them, thinking that Yang Yong, the leader of the Yushan tribe, was fierce and good at fighting, but he didn't expect to be killed by the giant bear tribe. Yang died in this battle, and the tribe was also forcibly occupied by the territory of the giant bear tribe, and the giant bear tribe became stronger and stronger, and the life of the small tribe became more and more difficult in the future.

"Muba, where are you going to live?"

"Only me and Mao can still hunt in our tribe, and we plan to find a remote place to live." Mu Ba paused for a moment and glanced at the prey they were carrying, "Leader Yaohu, the bear didn't forcibly occupy your tribe, why did you come here too?" ”

Hearing him ask, Yaohu's chest ached a little, "Our tribe was attacked by the Giant Bear Tribe, and many warriors died, and my two sons and women were also killed by the Giant Bear Tribe, and I was driven out of the tribe by the fire beaver after I was injured. I brought my son Mu Feng and daughter Xiaoqing, as well as a dozen or so clansmen, here to form a new tribe. ”

After hearing this, Mu Ba thought to himself: The leader of Yaohu came out of the Yaoshan tribe and established a new tribe, I wonder if he is willing to merge with us to form a new tribe?

Yaohu put down the goat he was carrying and said to Muba, "Muba, this goat is for you." ”

Mu Ba didn't take the goat handed to him by Yaohu, put his left hand on his chest and bowed to him, and said sincerely: "Leader Yaohu, you have more than a dozen clansmen, and we only have a dozen clansmen, and our tribe has enmity with the Giant Bear Tribe. We'd like to merge with you if you want. ”

Yaohu looked at it, and there were three warriors from the Yushan tribe, one of whom was injured and was holding a wooden stick.

There are two men who can't go out to hunt. Six women, one old Eminem, five women.

Merger, Yaohu is unwilling, even if he joins, he is a little hesitant, he is worried that the number of the two clans is about the same, what if he can't suppress them in the future?

Yaohu helped him up, "Muba, our tribe is just barely making ends meet. There are more prey here than in the mountains, so you can find a place to stay nearby, and we can take care of each other. ”

Mu Ba listened to Yaohu's words and knew that he was unwilling to merge, so he nodded gloomily, "Okay, let's find a cave nearby to live in, where do you live?" When we settle down, go to you. ”

Yaohu smiled, "It's hard to find a place where we live, I'll wait for you here the next day and take you to my tribe." ”

Muba nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Yaohu picked up the goat on the ground and handed it to Muba, "You take this goat, we will go back to the tribe." ”

Mu Ba saluted gratefully, "Yes, Yaohu Chief." Mu Ba and Mao watched Yaohu stride away with people.

Mao whispered to Mu Ba: "Mu Ba, the leader said that Yaohu is a brave and good man, and he is also very good to the clan, why did the Yaoshan tribe still drive him out of the position of leader?" ”

"The beaver of the Yaoshan tribe is the son of the previous chief, and he also has a group of warriors in the tribe who support him. The leader of Yaohu was injured by the bear, and the leader of Yang thought that he had died in battle, so it turned out that he had moved here with his people. ”

At this time, the rest of the tribe came over, and a thin old man with a wrinkled face said to Muba: "Muba, which tribe are those warriors from just now?" ”

Mu Ba told her Yaohu's identity, "Da Eminem, I proposed to merge with the Yaohu tribe, but the leader of Yaohu did not agree. I think we're going to find a place to live nearby, and with them nearby, everyone can take care of them. ”
