Yaohu smiled and picked up a bun, "Okay, I'll try the fresh food made by Xiaoqing." ”

"Incense! Soft! There are cured meats and flower beans in it. Delicious! My daughter is so capable! Everyone, try it! ”

Yao Xiaoqing's old face flushed, "Father, everyone wants to laugh at you." ”

Dashi smiled: "Our Xiaoqing is already very capable. ”

"Yes," Mu Feng nodded again and again, and took a bun in her bowl, "Xiaoqing, you can eat it too!"

Everyone's hands reached for the buns, and the cafeteria made one after another the sounds of admiration.

Yao Xiaoqing took a bite of the bun, drank a sip of millet porridge, and fried the sour bamboo shoots with oil residue, feeling that this day was on another level.

They had machetes and axes, and they did their work twice as much with half the effort, and soon cut down the enclosed woods outside the southern wall.

Ah Worm led the people to the woods north of the wall, and it was the golden autumn season not long after the construction began.

Everyone stopped cutting and started picking pumpkins. Baskets of golden pumpkins were picked up the mountain and stored in caves.

The hill and mountain big set also started, Yao Xiaoqing was going to see if there was a drought in other places, and if there was any rice on the big set? By the way, bring some pumpkin to exchange for some yams, kudzu, millet and beans.

After hearing this, Yaohu thought for a while, and thought that it would be better to let her go out to have a look, and instructed: "Let your brother, Dashi, Muba, wolf, leopard, Quan, and Dayang accompany you to Qiushan Daji." ”

"Passing by Yaoshan, you must be careful of the fire beaver, he is small-hearted and jealous, he has blocked several times without success, and we have taken so many people away, he must be waiting for us in the middle of the road."

Yao Xiaoqing raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Father, you don't have to worry, just don't meet him, I will definitely teach him a good lesson when I meet him." ”

Yaohu was furious and glared at her, "When you go out, it's different from the tribe, you must be careful." ”

Yao Xiaoqing nodded honestly, "I know, I must be careful." She knew he wasn't really angry, she was just worried that something would happen to her recklessness.

After the hunting team came back, Yao Hu told Mu Ba a few about Yao Xiaoqing's preparation to go to Qiushan Daji, and asked them to accompany Yao Xiaoqing to Qiushan Daji.

Hearing that he was going to the hill and mountain gathering, Mu Feng was the happiest, "Father, let's take your newly made scimitar to ensure that we will beat the fire beaver to the ground." ”

Yaohu slapped him angrily and said to Dashi: "You take care of them well, don't let him get into trouble." ”

Oishi smiled and nodded, "I'll take care of him to death."

Mu Feng was not angry, and smiled and prepared to eat on the way.

Yao Xiaoqing asked a few insects to make four packers, weave eight large bamboo baskets, and put hay in the baskets. When you go, put the pumpkin in it, tie it to the back of the cow and carry it, and the person will not be so tired.

When she returned, she went to find a flower again, and asked her to make some mats out of a skin with holes, stuff them with cattails, and put them on the back of the ox, so that the pack frame was too hard and the skin on the cow's back was bruised.

After a day's work, everyone prepared the panniers, mats, and baskets.

Yao Xiaoqing packed up his salute and went to Yaohu with a wok, "Father, you try to cast two big iron pots to cook food and stir-fry, it will be much faster, and it can also save firewood." ”

"Big iron pot!" Yaohu carried the wok, "Wait until I think of a way to see if I can make it." ”

Yao Xiaoqing thought for a while, "I think we should make a mold first, and then pour molten iron into the mold to set it." ”

Yaohu nodded, "Okay, you go!" I'm slowly trying to figure it out. ”

Yao Xiaoqing took people to pick some small round melons and beef leg melons, put them in bamboo baskets, and carried them to the duty room at the gate, ready to set off early the next morning.

As soon as the sky was bright, Yao Xiaoqing got up, put on his clothes and pants, and went out with his luggage to see Yaohu standing in the yard, "Father, why are you getting up so early!" ”

Yaohu looked at her with a smile, "It's not early, it's dawn." "When his son and daughter were going away, he was a little worried, and he couldn't sleep all night.

Yao Xiaoqing looked at his tired appearance, a little distressed, walked over to look at him, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we will be back soon." ”

Yaohu rubbed her head and nodded with a smile, "Okay, Father will wait for you to come back." ”

Mu Feng rubbed his eyes and pulled his shoes out of the house, "Father, Xiaoqing, you got up so early?" ”

Yaohu patted him gently, "Stinky boy, I still let you take care of my sister, look at you, she didn't get up early yet." ”

Mu Feng nodded and said, "Father, don't worry, I will take care of my sister." ”

"Hmm!" Yaohu looked at the two, "Go!" Let's go wash our faces, let's go to the cafeteria and eat food. ”

A family of three, when they arrived at the cafeteria, Yun Arm had already prepared the food, and everyone had eaten breakfast and was ready to go.

Hua put the boiled salted duck eggs, jerky, fried cakes, corn, flower beans, and ginger pieces into the back basket and handed them to Mu Feng to carry.

They were sent to the gate, where they placed a pack wrapped in leather mats on the back of the oxen, and a bamboo basket tied to the packer.

Take out the cow grass and put it on the cow's back.

Shan smiled: "Hmm! Xiaoqing's method is good, one cow carries more things than two people. ”

Yaohu nodded proudly, "She has a lot of methods in her head, all of which we can't think of." ”

Yao Xiaoqing smiled and said, "Father, go back!" No need to send it, we will be back soon. ”

The leopard smiled and patted Mu Feng's shoulder, "Chief, don't worry, we will protect Xiaoqing and Mu Feng." ”

Mu Feng said dissatisfiedly: "I am a warrior, and I don't need your protection. ”

"Alright," Yaohu smiled and waved, "Warriors, let's go!" ”

Yao Xiaoqing waved at them, turned around and said, "Let's go." ”

Muba, Leopard, Quan, and Dayang grabbed the ox rope, waved their whips lightly, and walked towards the mountain.

Yaohu and the others stood at the gate, watching them climb up the hill until they couldn't see anyone anymore, and then turned back.

There were oxen to help carry the things, and the journey was much easier.

On the second day, they found that the stream that had water had dried up a little higher. Water sources can only be found in low-lying places.

The group led the cow and stood on a hill, looking at the withered yellow weeds in the forest, Dashi was a little worried, "Xiaoqing, it seems that it is not only it that we have not rained there." ”

Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "Fortunately, the ditch on our mountain has never been cut off." ”

"yes!" Dashi took a look at the surrounding environment, "Xiaoqing, it's almost Yaoshan if you go any further, are we going around from the Antelope Tribe, or from Yaoshan?" ”

Yao Xiaoqing pondered for a moment, "First bypass the antelope tribe, and when we come back, we will pass through Yao Mountain, we can't avoid them like this all the time." ”

Mu Feng nodded again and again, "Xiaoqing, maybe the fire beaver has already sent someone to wait for us near Yaoshan." ”

The leopard said, "Then let's do it with them." ”

The three of them nodded, "Yes, you can't avoid them, everyone will do it." ”
