The next day, when the sky was bright, the people of the Yaoshan tribe were busy.

Oishi led the people outside the wooden fence at the platform on the hill to reinforce a stone wall.

Some took people to the bamboo forest, and some went to the soaphorn forest at the foot of the mountain, and everyone cut down a lot of bamboo and soaphorn thorns.

The oyster ash was mixed with sand and gravel, plastered on the wall, and the soaphorn thorns were inserted on it.

Mu Feng led people to dig traps at the foot of the mountain and in the woods, and also inserted calcined bamboo thorns in them.

Soon the sun rose and hung in the sky like a great ball of fire, roasting the mud like a stove.

Ah Chun sat on the tree and listened to the knowledge above his head, screaming desperately at the top of his throat, looking at the place where the mountain road turned.

Suddenly, a dirty black boy swaggered towards the tribe.

He stared at him tightly for a while, and shouted excitedly, "Chief, Xiaoqing is back." ”

Yao Xiaoqing waved at him, "Uncle Chun, are you sentry?" ”

Ah Chun replied loudly: "Hey! Luckily, Mu Feng told us that you might have turned into a black boy, and I almost shot you with an arrow. ”

Mu Feng ran up panting, and saw her tears almost flowing, "Xiaoqing, you're back!" ”

"When did you arrive?" Yao Xiaoqing waved at Ah Chun, and the brother and sister walked towards the foot of the mountain.

Mu Feng looked at her happily, "We arrived yesterday afternoon, and when we ...... at night, we should throw them into the river to feed the fish!" ”

Yao Xiaoqing raised her eyebrows and smiled, "When the disaster comes, fly separately, drive them out and see how long they can pounce." This incident is also a litmus test, and it can also drive those with evil intentions out of the tribe! ”

At this time, the people of the tribe gathered around her and looked at her happily.

Yao Xiaoqing looked at Yao Hu with a smile, "Father, I'm back." ”

"Why is this kid like this?" Yaohu stepped forward and rubbed her messy hair.

Yao Xiaoqing smiled: "Can you still recognize me?" ”

Yaohu smiled so hard that his mouth couldn't close it, "If you wipe one more layer, my father will be able to recognize it." ”

"Rub another layer, I'm worried I won't be able to wash it off." She laughed, "I smell bad all over my body, I need to wash it off." ”

"Go ahead! Beans have gone to help you get the bathwater. ”

When Yao Xiaoqing returned home, Douzi greeted him in shame, his eyes were red, "Qingwu, I ......"

She looked at Douzi and raised her hand, "I know, it's not your fault, just do your own thing." ”

Douzi nodded, "Yes, Qingwu." ”

"You go and get busy with yours, I'll just come here myself." Yao Xiaoqing said as she went into the house and put the water bag away, and went to the bathroom with a change of clothes and pants.

She hadn't washed for a few days, and she felt sticky and uncomfortable, and there was a sour smell.

Yao Xiaoqing washed it a few times before she felt comfortable, changed her clothes and pants, washed her underwear, brushed her thin leather clothes and pants, and took them upstairs to dry.

Yun Amu carried a bamboo basket and walked into the yard, "Xiaoqing, have you washed it?" I made the food, you eat it first. ”

"Wash it, then come down and eat." Yao Xiaoqing came down from upstairs and looked at her with a smile, "Eminem, what did you cook?" ”

Yun Amu brought the food to the table and looked at her with a smile, "Bean porridge, sour bamboo shoots, fried wild vegetables, fill your stomach first, wait for night food, and then make something delicious for you to eat." ”

"These are the good things, I'm almost getting jerky."

Yao Xiaoqing took a sip of porridge, lukewarm and just right, the sour bamboo shoots were appetizing, the wild vegetables were clear, and a pot of porridge quickly went down.

Yun Emu cleaned up the house, "Is it enough?" Not enough for me to go to the endpoint again. ”

"Enough!" Yao Xiaoqing looked at her, "These days, do you collect more fruits?" There's enough water in the ravine, right? ”

Yun Amu shook his head, "There is not much fruit, but the water is enough, and the corn in the field is growing quite well." ”

"That's good, the water in many ravines outside has dried up, and I'm worried that we'll run out of water too."

"Also, there are two more children in the tribe, both boys." Yun Amle said hehehe.

Yao Xiaoqing smiled: "Who's it?" ”

"The Male Bull Family and the Black Cloud Family, in a few days, Ah Su will be born in these two days."

"It's a good thing that there are more and more children in the tribe, and more pork knuckle soup is stewed for the women in confinement."

Yun Emu looked at her puzzled, "What is confinement?" ”

Yao Xiaoqing thought for a while, "Confinement is a woman who has just given birth to a child, she has to rest for a while, eat a little better to nourish her body, so that she is not easy to get sick!" ”

"Oh!" Yun Amu understood, "Got it, I'll stew pig's feet for them when I go back." ”

"You go first! I'll go to the storeroom and have a look. ”

Yao Xiaoqing went to the warehouse, looked at the wooden arrows placed inside, turned his head and saw a few spears standing in the corner of the wall, the spearheads flashed with cold light, it seemed that they had already begun to make iron spearheads.

She felt that the black bears should have discovered that the weapons they were using were strange, and they would definitely send someone to fight a front battle before attacking in a big way.

But a big tribe like the black bear will not be as simple as a dozen or twenty people to send people to find out the news. The most important thing now is to dig the trap quickly, so that the people who come to investigate will not return, and let the black bear send people in a hurry.

Yao Xiaoqing closed the door of the storehouse and walked towards the outside of the tribe, and found that the people in the tribe were so busy that they were about to fly.

Yaohu stood at the head of the wall and stopped her, "Xiaoqing, you go get two pumpkins, call Mu Feng together, go to the upstream tribe, thank them for helping you." ”

Yao Xiaoqing frowned, "Everyone is busy, let's go back in a few days!" ”

Yaohu waved his hand, "Go!" They were kind enough to help us, and they came back before dark, so we didn't have much delay. He felt that it was much better for the people upstream to take risks to help them for such a small thing than the jackals of the mountain mice.

Yao Xiaoqing had to nod, "Okay! ”

She went back and picked two pumpkins, put them in a basket, carried them to the foot of the mountain, and called the wooden wind to walk upstream together.

The two of them walked on the silted sand by the river, and bursts of hot air came to their faces. In the dry puddles, there are many sun-dried fish and shrimp.

"Xiaoqing, the water in the river seems to be getting shallower and shallower."

Yao Xiaoqing frowned, looking at the narrower and narrower river, "You don't want to think about how many days it hasn't rained." ”

"Yes! It's been a long time since it's rained! ”

When the two of them walked to a wide river valley, they saw a row of thatched huts. In the open space in front of the straw hut, four women were picking and collecting food, and a dozen men were tanning animal skins.

Yao Xiaoqing took a look, maybe because of the dry weather, their grass hut was built very close to the river. It's easy to get water, and if the water rises, it will be washed away 100%.

The two walked towards the thatched hut, and the people in front of the hut looked at the two vigilantly and shouted with their hands and feet.
