Back in the tribe, Yao Xiaoqing left a bundle of sugar cane for everyone to taste, and the others dug a shallow pit and buried it in the soil. Take them to plant those sugarcane pockets.

When she arrived at the clearing, Yao Xiaoqing dug down some soil, the upper layer of soil was humus, and the lower layer of soil was mixed with sand, she felt that such a soil quality should be able to grow sugarcane.

Yao Xiaoqing asked Ah Worm to dig a ditch to plant the old pocket first, and then cultivate soil to cover the old pocket, and dig a drainage ditch around it.

At night, Yao Xiaoqing told Yao Hu about the encounter with the Shenlu tribe.

"Could it be from the Shenmu Tribe?" Mu Feng said.

Yao Xiaoqing shook his head, "The people of the Shenmu tribe have totems painted on them, I know them!" ”

Yaohu thought for a moment, "The Shenlu tribe shouldn't come here to hunt!" It's been a few days since their territory arrives here, and I think it's a small tribe that has just migrated. ”

After hearing this, Yao Xiaoqing felt that it was also possible.

Mu Feng looked at her, "Xiaoqing, don't go out these days, if something happens, it will be troublesome." ”

Yao Xiaoqing regretted a little, "It's also to blame me for letting them go for a while, I would have arrested them back if I knew about it, and I would have shown it to my father!" ”

If you are merciful to your enemies, you are cruel to yourself, and you will never be merciful to a woman again.

Yaohu also looked at her and advised, "Don't go out these days." ”

Yao Xiaoqing smiled and comforted the two, "I have to open up the wasteland to plant sugarcane in the past few days, and I don't have time to go out!" ”

"When you go out in the future, someone has to follow you." Yaohu said uneasily.

"Good~ Good! I must take someone out with me, Father, Brother, you are all tired from the day, go and rest! Yao Xiaoqing smiled and pushed Yao Hu into the room.

Mu Feng said behind her, "You go to bed early, too!" ”

The stocky man was dragged all the way by two women, and staggered for half an hour before he woke up. He felt his ears buzzing, looked at the ground and felt like the world was spinning, and people were nauseous and wanted to vomit.

"What's wrong with me?" He asked the two women with his eyes closed.

The bold woman looked at him and felt a little strange, "Mu Kui, have you forgotten?" We saw a little woman alone at the bottom of the hill, and you said to catch her and go back to match, and you ......."

"Ah——, don't say it," the short man named Mu Kui felt a pain in his head like a pinprick in his head, and sat down on the ground with his head in his hands.

The timid woman looked behind her in horror, thinking that Yao Xiaoqing would inadvertently appear from behind.

grabbed the bold woman, "Anan, that woman was transformed by a mountain demon and ate Mu Kui's brain." ”

Anan remembered the situation just now, his heart was pounding, and he nodded in horror, "Let's go, let's go back to the tribe and let the leader take a look." ”

The two dragged the wooden kui and stumbled over the hill, over a stream, and at dusk through the forest to the foot of a shallow mountain. At the foot of the hill there is a fenced and thatched hut in a circle, and a bonfire is burning in the open space in the middle.

There was a crowd of fifty or sixty men and women roasting around the campfire, and a few children.

A thin little boy saw a few people, showed a joyful smile, and went up to take the timid woman's hand, "Mother, you're back!" ”

"Hmm!" The timid woman smiled at him.

The others saw Mu Kui who was being supported by the two of them, and a tall man looked at them, "Anan, what's wrong with Mu Kui?" ”

The two carried Mu Kui to the campfire, and Anan stretched his neck to expose the wound, and said to the tall man, "Chief, we are ...... under the hill"

The leader glanced at the blood marks on her neck, and then at Mu Kui, "It can't be a mountain demon, if it is, you would have been eaten a long time ago." There are Yaoshan tribes, spirit bird tribes, and Shenmu tribes nearby, and the totem of the Shenmu tribe is the wood charm, you probably met people from the Shenmu tribe. ”

The fear in the hearts of the two of them eased a little, "Yes, Chief." ”

The leader glanced at Mu Kui, "Let him lie in a straw hut and rest for two days." ”

The two men stood up and carried the wooden kui towards the thatched hut.

The leader looked at Mu Kui and felt that with Mu Kui's ability, it was easy for him to deal with several women alone, but now he was beaten like this by a little woman, who hurt Mu Kui, did he really meet the mountain demon?

"Don't go to the mountains and forests over there these days, if you are found by the Shenmu tribe, you will find us trouble."

Everyone responded in unison, "Yes, Chief." ”

Two days later, Yan Yu took a few Qinghuo to the upper reaches of the Ning River. Several people stood on the mountain, looking at the wide and flat river valley below, with green grass at the bottom of the valley, and flocks of wild ducks and waterfowl frolicking and flying on the river surface like a white jade belt.

There are herds of cattle, sheep and musk deer in the meadows, grazing and playing leisurely.

The big buffalo with two crooked horns, and the big yellow ox with short sharp horns, followed by the big calf, staring around with big eyes and curiosity.

Yan Yu pointed to the calf and said to the five warriors, "Qinghuo and I will drive the big cow, and you will use the rope to lasso the calf and lead it away." Remember not to get killed. ”

The five nodded and said, "Yes, Yan Yu." ”

They took out the long wooden sticks they had prepared in advance, tied ropes around them, and held a long rope in their hands.

Yan Yu and Qinghuo took the wooden spears and rope nooses and rushed towards the cattle in the river valley.

The cattle and sheep in the valley were frightened and fled in all directions by a few people who galloped down. Yan Yu held a wooden spear, and his sturdy body moved and dodged among the herds, driving the big ox towards the river.

Five warriors carried long wooden sticks and lassoed the calves around them, and drove them to the shore. It looks a bit like the posture of a Mongolian horse.

After a while, the five of them were holding a calf in their hands, and they whistled at Yan Yu, and several people led the calf towards the river bank. Yan Yu also lassoed a calf that was running after the big cow and walked back.

Several people led the oxen to the top of the mountain, and the broken Qinghuo also chased after them. Several men tied the calves with long ropes and led them back.

Yao Xiaoqing, with more than a dozen old uncles and more than a dozen women, chose a soft sandy land under the wall on the west side of the river and began to open up the wasteland.

They took up the stone axes and shovels together, dug out the ground, and picked up the big rocks and small stones, as well as the small stumps that were cut off, and the stumps that were too big were left alone.

More than 20 people, it took a few days to open four or five acres of land and sprinkle a layer of putre.

Yao Xiaoqing sighed in his heart, if there are hoes and rakes, like this kind of wasteland with soft soil, more than 20 people can at least open up more than a dozen acres of land.

After the ground was opened, Yao Xiaoqing asked Uncle Worm to open the ground out of the ditch and sprinkle another layer of humus. She took a few taro seeds and dug out the sugar cane that had been buried in the pit.

Peel off the leaves of the sugarcane and you can see the sprouts on the cane knots, cut off the fineness and roots, carry them to the ditch and clean them, and then wash them again with warm water.

Cut off the cleaned sugarcane every three sprouts, and leave those without sprouts to eat.
