On the way back, Dashi told Yaohu about the situation, "Chief, the Shenmu tribe is no longer a threat to us. ”

Mu Ba said: "Chief, I see that there is something wrong with the people of the Shenmu tribe, small, dull, and there are not many warriors. Such an old tribe, it shouldn't be like this! "He originally thought that the Shenmu tribe was a very prosperous tribe.

Yaohu said: "It's the reason why they don't match with foreigners. He remembered what Shigeru had told him when he took over as chief, that if a man and a woman of the same tribe were paired, the gods would sin the tribe, and the woman would give birth to many deviants.

Hearing this, the leopard said to the side: "Chief, let's quickly bring people over and occupy the territory of the Shenmu tribe. ”

After hearing this, Yaohu thought for a while, and said to the leopard: "It shouldn't be a problem to occupy the Shenmu tribe, the problem is, we can't afford to take such a big territory!" ”

Da Shu said with a smile on the side: "Leopard, this piece of land under the river bank, we just occupied a big piece of the ass and occupied the Shenmu tribe, I think it's better to forget it!" ”

The facts are there, and people with a little brain know that the Yaoshan tribe simply does not have the extra manpower to occupy the Shenmu tribe.

The leopard glanced at the big tree, nodded with a smile, and said, "Yes, we can't see this area along the river." When he thought of Muba's words, he didn't want to raise such a group of people.

Yao Xiaoqing thought for a while and said, "Father, I think that their leader is a belligerent, it is better to solve that leader, find a non-warlike one among them, and take charge of the Shenmu tribe." We'll just check it out from time to time. ”

She didn't want to kill innocents indiscriminately, she felt that as long as she dealt with that dangerous element, last night's sneak attack on the Shenmu tribe killed and injured some warriors, and the rest of the people found food to feed those women and children, and there was nothing they could do to seek revenge from the Yaoshan tribe.

Yaohu nodded and said, "That's a good idea, when you have eaten the food, we'll discuss it." ”

After a few people had eaten the food, Yaohu had already gathered the working warriors in the cafeteria. When everyone learned that they had also fought with the Shenmu tribe, they all gave a thumbs up and praised a few people.

Yaohu told everyone what he had just discussed on the road, "You guys also tell me, should we occupy the Shenmu tribe?" ”

Izumi stood up and said, "Chief, I think what the big tree said is right, we can't even stand along the river, so why go to the mountain of Shenmu Mountain!" "He felt more comfortable living by the river than in the mountains.

Shan stood up, "yes! I think it's just as Xiaoqing said, let's send some more people to kill that leader, and they won't dare to trouble us again. ”

"Chief, we are busy with the land in the tribe every day, and we can't keep it busy, what are we doing in that mountain?" Spear said.

Someone else said, "Yes! What's so good in the mountains! ”

"Okay, let's do what Xiaoqing said." Yaohu said, turned back to Yao Xiaoqing and said, "Xiaoqing, the Shenmu tribe will be handed over to you, go and rest for a day, and then take someone to the Shenmu tribe tomorrow morning." ”

"Yes." Yao Xiaoqing and Mu Feng responded in unison.

Yao Xiaoqing took a bath, took a bamboo chair and sat under the eaves, leaned on the back of the chair, squinted his eyes, and waited for his long hair to dry, thinking about the stream he saw on Shenmu Mountain, and the water in it was not even the instep of his feet.

She squinted her eyes and looked at the hot sun, if it doesn't rain, it will really be dry, sleep for a while, get up, go to the river to see, what is the water in the river?

Taro walked into the yard with the grass on his back and saw Yao Xiaoqing falling asleep leaning on the bamboo chair. She walked lightly upstairs, spreading out the grass in the basket and drying it upstairs.

When I went downstairs, I saw Yao Xiaoqing looking at her with a smile.

Taro walked over with a smile, "Xiaoqing, I'll go upstairs to dry the grass." ”

"Is there more grass by the river?"

Taro nodded, "The water is shallow, and there is a lot of grass by the river." Yesterday they netted a dozen ducks back, and there were still a lot of fish and shrimp in the puddle by the river, and we went to get a lot of them yesterday and dried them and dried them. ”

Yao Xiaoqing stood up, "Let's go, let's go to the river and have a look." ”

"Good! Worms, they're still picking fish and shrimp by the river! ”

Yao Xiaoqing went into the house and took a hat to wear, and the two went to the river and saw several cattle in the tribe grazing by the river.

From a distance, I found that the water in the river was much shallower, and the area of the bare beach in the middle of the river was more than twice as large as it was at this time last year. On the opposite beach, there are waterfowl and wild ducks playing.

A few old abel in the tribe, carrying a basket pocket, picked fish and shrimp in the shallow water. Ah Worm shaded the sun with his hand, looked at the two people who came over, and said with a smile: "Xiaoqing is back!" ”

"It's been back for a while." Yao Xiaoqing looked at the middle of the river, "Uncle worm, I see that if it doesn't rain, I can wade to the other side of the river." ”

Worm Bo shook his head, "The water in the middle is very deep, we plan to tie a bamboo raft and go to the other side of the river to pick up duck eggs." ”

Yao Xiaoqing nodded and said, "No one has been on the other side of the river, so you have to bring snake medicine to avoid snakes and insects." She thought that as long as there was water in the river, there would be a way to water the crops.

"Shui Bo, what did you pick up?" Taro asked.

Yao Xiaoqing looked back and saw that the back basket was full of big river mussels, "Huh! So many mussels! ”

"Hey!" Shui Bo smiled, "The river is shallow, we fished a lot of this thing in the puddle and fed it to the chickens and ducks, the chickens and ducks grow well, and even the wild boar likes it." ”

Can you not like it? The mussel meat has seasoning, and it tastes delicious when stir-fried!

Yao Xiaoqing suddenly remembered that someone was using river mussels to cultivate pearls, "Uncle worm, when you smashed the mussel meat, did you find that there was something like a round stone in it?" ”

Ah Worm shook his head, "We all used stone knives to chop up the meat and feed it to the chickens and ducks, but we didn't find any stones." ”

Yao Xiaoqing and Taro took off their straw sandals, played by the river for a while, and walked back with the shrimp in the bucket, and saw the round-faced woman walking towards the river with the Lingque tribe.

Taro said to Yao Xiaoqing: "Xiaoqing, that woman is the daughter of the leader of the Spirit Sparrow Tribe, and her name is Douzi. ”

"Xiaoqing, she came to you to see her father!" Bi said loudly.

Taro looked at Bi and pouted: "Stinky boy, I don't know how to run over and say it!" ”

Yao Xiaoqing smiled: "Let's go faster, they may have something!" ”

He strode over, smiled at the two of them, took the barrel from their hands, turned around and walked back.

Douzi quickly ran to Yao Xiaoqing, panting and bowing to her: "Qingwu, please, look at my father." Tears flowed down her cheeks as she spoke.

Yao Xiaoqing persuaded: "Don't worry, you say slowly, what's wrong with your father?" ”

Douzi said with tears in his eyes: "Not long after my father came back from hunting, he became thinner and thinner, and his stomach slowly bulged, and his stomach was like a doll. Today he could not eat, and the warriors of the tribe went hunting, and no one carried him. ”
