Yaohu recalled, "There are about a dozen women, let's take a look first!" ”

Dashi said on the side: "Chief, take a few people, the fire beaver is useless, the black badger is not a good thing." ”

"Good!"

Yao Hu took a few warriors and Yao Xiaoqing out of the tribe together, and two hours later, several people arrived at the deserted Spirit Sparrow Tribe.

Yao Xiaoqing saw at a glance that in the open space in front of the cave, there were five scrawny women, who were sorting out the collected beans and some rhizome plants.

There were also three small children with big heads sitting next to them

They saw Yao Hu and Yao Xiaoqing, as well as warriors with weapons in their hands, and several children called out to their mothers, hiding behind them and hugging into a ball.

The woman protected the children with open arms and looked at them nervously.

Yaohu looked at them, "Which of you is from the Yaoshan tribe?" ”

Several women listened to Yaohu's words, felt that he had no malicious intent, and boldly raised their heads, "We are not. ”

At this time, two women, one tall and one short, walked out of the cave, and when the two saw Yaohu, they walked over excitedly, "You are the leader of Yaohu?" ”

"Who are you?" Yaohu looked at the two emaciated women, trying to tell who they were from their skinny faces.

The tall woman shouted excitedly with a hoarse voice: "I'm Guzi!" ”

The short woman looked at Yaohu with tears on her face, "Chief, I'm Qingzhu." ”

Yaohu looked at the two of them and finally recognized them, "What about the others?" Are you two the only ones who escaped? ”

Gu Zi nodded, "It's just us, Brother Leopard's woman and two sisters died when they gave birth to dolls, some sisters were bitten by snakes and insects when they went out to collect, and some died bitterly." ”

Yaohu nodded again and again with red eyes, "Are you guys here?" ”

"Just a few of us. We and a few sisters escaped from the giant bear, thinking that Yaoshan would be closer, so we went back to Yaoshan. The black badger said that there is no food for us to eat, let's come to Yaoshan to find you. In the last sentence, Qingzhu said that Ai Ai was still a little stammering.

Yao Xiaoqing looked at them, "Just a few of you here, or is someone escorting you here?" ”

The two hesitated for a moment, and Qingzhu said, "It was the black badger and the two clansmen who sent us." ”

Yao Xiaoqing glanced at Yao Hu, "Father, what do you see?" ”

Qingzhu looked at Yaohu, stepped forward and picked up a child with a big head and a small body, who couldn't tell the difference between boys and girls, "Xue said that she is the daughter of Brother Leopard." ”

After she finished speaking, she looked at Yaohu, thinking that the food was so rare now, and the leader of Yaohu was unwilling to take them in, so she begged him to bring back Brother Leopard's daughter to Brother Leopard.

Yaohu stretched out his hand, touched the child with pity, looked at the few hairs on her head, and sighed, "When did you arrive, why don't you go to the tribe to find us?"

Qingzhu smiled with surprise on her face after hearing this, "We came yesterday afternoon, Meihua went to the river to fetch water this morning, and met her sister and gave her a cake." ”

Yaohu nodded, "Let's go!" Come back to the tribe with me. ”

Qingzhu looked at Yaohu, his heart fell to the ground, and tears slipped down, "Leader, we ......"

"Alright, go back and let Yun Eminem make you some food." Yaohu turned his head and instructed the warriors behind him, "Qiusheng, help them put away the food." ”

Several people replied in unison, "Yes, Chief." ”

Several other women bowed excitedly to Yaohu.

Gu Zi looked at Yao Xiaoqing who was standing aside, with a stammering smile on his face, "You are Xiaoqing!" You and your mother are so similar! ”

Yao Xiaoqing smiled faintly and greeted politely, "Aunt Qingzhu, Aunt Guzi." ”

Qiusheng and a few women packed up the things on the ground and put them in a broken bamboo basket, and everyone turned around and walked back.

Back to the tribe, the old men of the Yaoshan tribe sighed and greeted Qingzhu and Guzi again.

Meihua pulled her sister and kept talking about the good of the Yaoshan tribe.

Leopard Eminem hugged the child and said with tears in his eyes: "What should I do? My leopard still wants to go to the mountains to look for snow! ”

Shan Amu sighed and comforted her, "Ah Cai, don't cry, go and get this kid something to eat!" ”

Leopard Eminem was happy and sad to take the children to the cafeteria, Yun Emu steamed egg custard for several children, and watched them gobble up, and his nose was sour.

Yao Xiaoqing asked Leopard Eminem to take them to wash and change their clothes and pants, and arranged them in the courtyard of Douzi. She told Douzi and a few old Abel to keep an eye on a few people.

She still has some doubts about the coincidence between Sister Meihua and Meihua.

Early the next morning, Yao Xiaoqing and Taro took more than a dozen old uncles with dry food, and led a few cattle to Shenmu Mountain.

When they arrived at the pine forest, Taro, together with several women and old Abo, continued to the front grove to peel off the bark. Yao Xiaoqing took a few old uncles to look for Poria cocos in the pine forest, and collected pine resin by the way.

If there is a wound on the trunk of a pine tree or where there is an insect infestation, the pine oil will flow out along the mouth, and the volatile liquid in the pine oil is pine perfume.

Yao Xiaoqing and the others collected the condensed lumps, hard and light golden or brown resin, and used them to make lamp oil.

If you dig up the roots of dead pine trees, you can find Poria cocos in most cases.

The pine forest Yao Xiaoqing here has never come to collect, and most of the day's work, they have collected a lot of pine resin and poria cocos.

Alin put the Poria cocos in the back basket into the bamboo basket and saw that the bamboo basket was already full. He came out of the forest and looked at the sky and shouted, "Xiaoqing, the bamboo basket is full, we should go back." ”

"Okay, you put the panniers in place, and I'll call them taro." Yao Xiaoqing came out of the forest and walked briskly towards the forest to the north. She felt that it was getting dark very quickly in early winter.

Taro and Agham were in the woods, cutting the bark with a machete and peeling off a bundle of bast bark.

The sound of chopping trees attracted several men passing by the woods.

One of the men walked over staring at the machete in Argenberg's hand.

Holding the taro that was put into the bamboo basket with the bark of the tree, he turned around when he heard the footsteps, "Yan Yu! ”

Yan Yu ignored the taro and walked straight towards Agen.

Ah Gen turned around and saw Yan Yu's eyes staring at the machete on the tree for a moment, so he hurriedly took the machete off the tree and put it behind him.

Yan Yu had already seen it clearly, and said secretly: "Yes, this is the weapon they held that day. ’

Qinghuo came over and looked at the taro, "Yan Yu, they belong to the Yaoshan tribe." ”

Yan Yu glanced back at them and was silent.

Argenber looked at him defensively, "Taro, what is he doing here?" ”

Taro Ziqiang walked across from Yan Yu with a smile and blocked his gaze, "Yan Yu, are you here to find Qingwu?" ”

Yan Yu retracted his gaze and looked at Taro, "Qingwu is also here?" ”
