After all the land of the Yaoshan tribe was planted, Jiang Li led people into the mountains to cut firewood and prepare to build a dock.

Ah Worm Bo led people to start firing the kiln, and several people were also optimistic about the place to start construction next to the earthen kiln and dig another earthen kiln. The wolf and dozens of men continued to build walls, warehouses and drying grounds.

Ah He took more than a dozen old uncles to the bamboo forest to dig bamboo shoots, and went back to make sour bamboo shoots and dried bamboo shoots. When the Niu tribe and the other tribes saw it, they also dug it back, and after cooking it and eating it, they felt a little bitter, so they stopped going after eating two meals.

Ah Chun and Ah Gen and the old uncle of the breeding team are also busy holding nests for chickens and ducks. There are also rabbits, there are fewer cubs in winter, but there are quite a few.

Yaohu asked Mu Feng and Yu to take two small teams of warriors, as well as a few Worm Bo, to lead the oxen to the Wuxian tribe with plowshares, rakes and axes and machetes.

Shi Shan and You Lu looked at them in surprise, "Mu Feng, who are you?" ”

Mu Feng looked at them with a smile, "Uncle Shishan, my father asked us to help you plant the land." ”

"Thank you! Thank you, Father, and thank you, brothers. Shi Shan and You Lu hugged Mu Feng and Yu gratefully, and tears flowed down.

They had run out of salt and salt to get food, and hundreds of people in the tribe had to eat and drink. The best way is to farm and raise livestock like the Yaoshan tribe in order to feed the tribesmen.

Mu Feng and Yu scratched their heads embarrassedly, "Father (leader) said that our two families are allies and should help each other. ”

"Hmmm! We are allies. Ishiyama nodded gratefully and asked the food to be prepared.

A few people helped them plough the land, and Mu Feng and Yu led people to cut down trees and help Shi Shan sow the saved seeds.

Mu Feng returned to the tribe and led two teams into the mountains to continue digging for salty salt.

After finishing the work in the field, Yao Xiaoqing went to the orchard to take a look, most of the fruit trees were frozen to death, and only Xiaobancheng survived. She was distressed and asked people to uproot the dead fruit trees.

More than half a month has passed, and it was already hot at this time last year. But this year's temperature is still not as good as in previous years, and it is comfortable to live a lukewarm life.

Yao Xiaoqing was so worried that she couldn't sleep well, she had heard the old people in the family say before, neither hot nor cold, no grain and no knots.

I'm afraid that if the weather is not hot in the summer season, crops such as corn and beans will be affected by the lack of sunlight, which will affect the autumn harvest.

Yaohu woke up and saw that the lights were still on in Yao Xiaoqing's house, and knocked on the window, "Xiaoqing, it's been a tiring day, why don't you rest?" ”

"Got it."

Yao Xiaoqing blew out the oil lamp, lay on the bed and thought for a long time and decided to leave the two teams to plant vegetables in the tribe, weed, catch insects, and water fertilizer, and send all the people out to dig Poria cocos in a farther place. After making her decision, she fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Yao Xiaoqing arranged for warriors to escort the women of the collection team to collect Poria cocos, kudzu, and taro on the farther mountain.

Everyone set off in several directions, and Yao Xiaoqing took several teams of women from Shan Eminem and Leopard Eminem into the mountains from the north to find pine forests and dig Poria cocos.

A group of more than fifty people, as well as two squads of warriors, led four oxen and went farther away with dried meat and salt.

The bull and the muba led them up the river, encountering several warriors from small tribes who had come out to hunt along the way.

They stopped Mu Ba and said with a smile: "You have so many women, and you are still leading the oxen, are you going to go into the mountains to collect food?" ”

Mu Ba smiled and nodded, "The wild vegetables on the riverside have been collected, we want to go to the mountains to have a look." ”

"yes!" The man sighed bitterly, "I don't know where the wild creatures in the mountains have gone, and we have only captured a few goats and badger pigs when we entered the mountains." ”

"We didn't catch any prey on a trip into the mountains, so we wanted to go into the mountains to collect wild vegetables to fill our stomachs." Muba said.

Both groups sighed and headed for their respective destinations.

The group followed the hunting party and walked through the mountains for a day before they reached the pine forest where Muba had been.

Mu Ba pointed to the field under the pine forest, "Xiaoqing, Jiang Li said that there are jujube trees over there, and we were going to collect them last year." ”

Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "When we dig up the poria cocos, we'll go over there and take a look." ”

"Okay." Muba turned his head to Shan Eminem and said, "Eminem, you follow us, don't run far, we can also help when we encounter fierce beasts." ”

Shanami smiled and nodded, "Got it, you can rest assured!" ”

The forest here has never come to collect Poria cocos, and when everyone goes in, they will find dead and withered pine trees, and if they pick up those shrubs and vines, they can find Poria cocos under the trees.

There were many dead pine trees in the forest, and in a short time a basket was collected.

Ah Su picked up a basin-sized Poria cocos with a smile on her face, "Xiaoqing, look at this piece, it's only half dug under this tree, and the Poria cocos here is big and good." ”

Yao Xiaoqing looked at the muck on her face and laughed, "Yes, this is the second piece I dug today, Big Poria Cocos." Let's look for it carefully, find all these pine forests, and the Poria cocos pulled back will be enough for us to eat for a long time. ”

Leopard Eminem sighed on the side: "Xiaoqing, it would be great if this thing could be planted, let's plant a large piece in the tribe, do we still have to worry about having no food to eat!" ”

Yao Xiaoqing smiled: "Eminem, I really can't help this." "She had heard her father say that the Poria cocos planted was not effective, that is, there were Poria cocos, but she had never seen how they were planted.

A group of people were busy in the forest for a long day, and the collected Poria cocos filled the bamboo baskets on the panniers.

Before dark, the dead pine trees were cut down, and the leather tents were pulled apart, tied between the trees, and put leather cushions on them.

The bull and a few warriors took the hares and pheasants they had hunted to the creek and skinned them and cleaned them.

Ah Su and the others smeared with spices, and everyone roasted rabbit meat and pheasants around the bonfire.

Muba brought the oxen and tied them to the camp, and the group ate roast rabbit meat and pheasants, ready to rest.

Yao Xiaoqing leaned on a pine tree hugged by several people, closing his eyes and recuperating.

Creak! Creak! The scream sounded above Yao Xiaoqing's head.

Shan Emu pointed to the top of her head in surprise, "Xiaoqing, do you see if that's a golden retriever?" ”

Yao Xiaoqing stood up and looked up, and saw three golden retriever monkeys in the tree, two big ones, one small one, and a big golden retriever looking at her scratching her ears and cheeks.

"Golden Retriever, is that you?"

"Squeak!" The golden retriever rushed down from the tree and looked at her with a smile in front of Yao Xiaoqing.

Yao Xiaoqing looked at the golden retriever who stood up and almost reached his chest, "The little thing without conscience has grown up!" Then he pointed to the two on the tree, "Is that your wife and child?" ”

The golden retriever turned his head to look at the two golden retriever monkeys in the tree, squeaked twice, and the larger one scurried down from the tree with the smaller one and stood beside the golden retriever and looked at her.

Yao Xiaoqing touched the golden retriever's head, "What should I do?" In this barren mountain range, my sister can't get some delicious food for your wife and children to taste. Would you like to follow your sister home? ”
