Through a grove of trees, before dark, at the foot of the mountain, not far from the mountain, the group went to a slender cave, and in the cave there was still firewood that they had not used up last time.

The night in the mountains was very cold, and a little firewood was not enough to burn, so they went out to collect firewood.

Mu Ba pointed to the haystack, "Qingwu, you sit and rest for a while, and I will raise the fire." ”

Yao Xiaoqing lifted the kettle, "I'm not tired, I'll go get a kettle of water to boil water to drink!" ”

"Xiaoqing, you take a break, give the kettle to Brother." Mu Feng took the kettle and walked out of the cave.

Muba quickly turned the wooden stick, and soon lit the fire and tied the wooden frame. Mu Feng hung the kettle on the shelf, and after the water boiled, everyone took out the dried meat and ate it with boiling water, and after arranging the men of the vigil, they fell asleep.

Yao Xiaoqing lay on the grass, listening to the sound of Mu Feng sleeping beside him, and also fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, Yao Xiaoqing was awakened by the howl of a wolf, and after a while, he heard an eerie and terrifying howl, a bit like the cry of a female ghost in a ghost movie, which sounded a little creepy in the middle of the night.

Muba, who was keeping vigil, heard the sound, turned his head to look at Yao Xiaoqing, who was sitting up, and smiled at her comfortingly, "Don't be afraid, this is the barking of a jackal." ”

Yao Xiaoqing lowered her voice and said, "It's a bit infiltrating." ”

Muba nodded and whispered, "Don't be afraid, I'm guarding outside!" ”

Yao Xiaoqing lay down and slept until dawn this time, and woke up to see that Mu Feng had already boiled boiling water and poured it into the thermos cup she brought.

Mu Feng smiled at her, "Get up and eat food." ”

"Hmm!" A group of people ate the dried meat with boiling water, took out the bamboo bow from the basket, put the bowstring on it, carried it on the shoulder, and lifted the spear and bone knife.

"Xiaoqing, you rest in the cave, we come back from hunting, and then go to cut cabbage."

Yao Xiaoqing looked at Mu Feng, "Brother, I'll go with you, I won't hold back." ”

Mu Feng thought about leaving her alone in the cave, but he didn't feel at ease, "Okay! Don't run around later. ”

"Brother, why are you so verbose!" Yao Xiaoqing strode away with the basket on his back.

Mu Feng chased out with a smile. A group of people climbed up the mountain beam, and Yao Xiaoqing saw that the mountain beam on the back and the big trees on the mountain ridge should have been burned by the mountain fire, leaving a bare and black tree trunk, and the hillside was covered with withered yellow weeds.

At the bottom of the hill is a gentle hillside with roe deer, sheep and deer...... All kinds of wild things.

The wolf smiled and said, "Why are there so many wild things today, is it the reason why the green witch came with me?" ”

He smiled and nodded, "yes! There are a lot of wild things today, and we can go back tomorrow morning. ”

Mu Feng glanced at Yao Xiaoqing, "Xiaoqing, you follow us." After saying that, like a gust of wind, he ran towards the wild things under the hillside.

Yao Xiaoqing carried the bow and quickly followed.

The wild creatures under the mountain scattered and fled, and a group of people opened their bows and arrows, and the wooden arrows "swished" through the air and flew towards the prey.

The prey of the arrow fled with the arrow, but was stabbed with the spear of the pursuer and fell to the ground.

Yao Xiaoqing stabbed a stag, and suddenly saw several jackals running up from the mountain recess and rushing towards the fallen prey.

Yao Xiaoqing drew a spear, stabbed a jackal in the neck, picked it up, and threw it down the mountain.

Mu Feng and the others also rushed over with their spears, and the jackals turned around and fled when they saw that the situation was not good.

Mu Ba roared: "The prey is enough, everyone carries the prey and leaves." ”

Mu Feng shouted to Yao Xiaoqing, "Xiaoqing, let's go!" ”

"Hey!" Yao Xiaoqing responded crisply, turned to look at them, and with a smile on his face, he carried the killed prey on his shoulder, and a group of people walked happily towards the mountain.

Carrying the two goats, "Yes, this hunt is the most refreshing, and Xiaoqing will be taken away in the future." ”

Mu Feng glanced at him, "No, the hunting is too hard, Xiaoqing will be tired." ”

Yu also glanced at him, "Stupid, I'll just talk about it, Xiaoqing still stays in the tribe and makes us something delicious." ”

The leopard looked at the two, "Mu Feng, Biao, the house in the tribe is almost ready, do you two have a woman you like?" ”

The two shook their heads, "No, I don't like any of them!" ”

Everyone returned to the cave and put the prey in the cave, and Mu Feng and Mu Ba took Yao Xiaoqing and walked towards the opposite mountain recess.

As soon as he walked into the mountain recess, Yao Xiaoqing saw a tung oil tree growing in the mountain hollow, and there were tung oil fruits hanging on the tree that were as yellow as the leaves.

Yao Xiaoqing pointed to the dried tung oil fruits on the tree, "Brother, pick some of the fruits on the tree." ”

The two looked at the tung oil fruit on the tree, "What kind of fruit is this?" Is it tasty? ”

Yao Xiaoqing looked at the two foodies and said with a smile: "You can't eat it, take it back and squeeze the oil and brush those doors and windows, the doors and windows are not easy to break." ”

"Oh! You're waiting down there for us to go up and pick it. Several people hugged a tung tree and climbed up in a few clicks.

The tung fruit fell to the ground like rain, and Yao Xiaoqing was busy picking it up and putting it in the back basket.

After a while, the bull and the wolf also came, and saw a few wooden bars on the tree, "Xiaoqing, what are you picking this fruit for?" ”

Yao Xiaoqing said with a smile: "Uncle Niu, this fruit is of great use, come and help pick it up together." ”

A dozen or so people were busy until the sun went down, and they filled all the six baskets they had brought with them before coming down from the trees.

I chopped the dozens of cabbages and put them on top of them, and carried them back to the cave.

Early the next morning, a group of people carried the prey, carrying tung fruit and cabbage to rush back, and the group of people returned to the tribe It was already dark.

The cabbage was placed in the canteen and the women were pickled to make sauerkraut, and the insects were busy skinning the prey, salting it and putting it in the jar.

Early the next morning, Yao Xiaoqing went to the pond, picked up the clay on the kiln, picked up a piece of charcoal and saw that the fracture was black and shiny, nodded with satisfaction, took a few taro and put the charcoal into the basket, picked it back and stacked it under the stairs.

It took half a month to burn all the green bar wood into charcoal, pick it back and put it under the stairs of the built yard.

Before the first snow came, Yaohu and the others hurriedly built the remaining courtyard.

Next to the gate of the tribe, a room was built to keep vigil, and the others were all five three-courtyard houses in one row, a total of six rows of courtyards.

At the back of the yard there are also two rows of pens for the livestock, and six calves have been put on their noses.

There was no liquor and alcohol, Yao Xiaoqing boiled the cow rope with herbs and salt water for a while, sterilized and disinfected, and the cow's nose did not cause inflammation.

After the cow's nose was tied to the rope, several little oxen were much more obedient.

The number of live goats that came back from the hunt had gradually increased to more than twenty, and the ewe gave birth to two lambs.

It is still the hares' strong reproductive ability, and in just a few months, with the addition of the captured hares, there are already more than forty of them.

There were also fifty or sixty pheasants, and only a dozen or so roosters were left, and they could pick up thirty or forty eggs a day. Seventy or eighty mallards can also pick up dozens of duck eggs every day.
