Yao Xiaoqing took a look at the remaining plant ash and alkali in the jar, turned around and went to the warehouse to bring out a jar of mutton oil.
Heat the alkaline water and scoop some mutton oil into it. After the oil melts, add some salt and stir it evenly. After boiling, pour it into a small wooden basin and set it aside to wait for it to solidify.
I poured the remaining soap water with lye in the jar into the basin, put my hand in it, and without feeling any discomfort, took the wooden basin to the canteen and gave it to Yun Amu.
"Amu, there's soap in it. Please try washing the dishes first."
Yun Amu smiled and said: "There is no need for soapy water. Just put a handful of plant ash into the hot water and the bowl will be washed clean. Give me this soapy water and save it for washing my hair."
Yao Xiaoqing looked at her, wondering: "I just made it, I don't know if it can be washed!"
"Is there anything that can't be washed?" Yun Amu happily carried the basin in.

Three days later, Yan Yu returned to the tribe in the morning. As soon as he arrived at the cave where he lived, an old lady came running to him with a worried look on his face. He bowed his head and saluted him and said, "Yan Yu, Chong is very ill. The great witch said that he has attracted evil spirits."
, will be taken away by the gods.”
Yan Yu hurried towards the cave where Chong lived, "The injury on his leg hasn't healed yet?"
Old Eminem shook his head, "It's not okay. The night you left, he said he felt unwell and didn't even eat food."
Even the great witch can't help it. Is Chong really going to be taken away by the gods?
Thinking of this, Yan Yu speeded up in worry.
The cave where Chong lives is to the right of the cave where Yan Yu lives. There are several people standing at the entrance of the cave.
Leader Da Ma and Yan Yu's mother, Chong's sister Aman were also there.
The great witch was wearing a witch robe made of black feathers, holding a bone staff around Chong Nian who was lying on the ground and chanting: God! I am your messenger, and Chong is my only son. If you can let him back, I will
Always at your service.
When Ah Man saw Yan Yu coming, he ran over with red eyes and said sadly: "Yan Yu, my brother is going to be..."
Yan Yu glanced at her coldly, "Don't talk nonsense!"
Da Ma turned his head to look at Yan Yu and waved to him.
He stepped forward and bowed his head to Da Ma and Yu Amu, "Father, Grandma."
Yu'amu said in a serious tone: "You came back at the right time. Let's pray for Chong together and ask the gods to return him to us."
Yan Yu looked at the great wizards who were praying and blessing around him, nodded and said, "Yes."
The four of them followed the great shaman, surrounded Chong who was lying on the animal skin mat, and prayed in low voices.
After more than half an hour, the great witch raised the bone staff in his hand and shook it several times, then slowly stopped.
Dama noticed that he was in a trance and asked worriedly: "Witch, does the spirit agree with Chong's return?"
The great witch shook his head sadly. He had never prayed as hard as he did today. It would be great if he could really meet the gods.
After hearing this, Yu Amu and A Man hugged each other and cried sadly.
Yan Yu walked up to Chong, leaned over and looked at his chest, and saw that his chest was rising and falling slowly.
He looked up at Da Ma and Da Wu, "Father, Da Wu, when I was in the tribe, Chong told me that his leg was still not healed. Is it because of his leg injury that he was drowsy?
"
"He told me about it and I gave him medicine!"
The great witch leaned over to check the wound on Chong's thigh, and saw that the wound had healed, but the area around the wound was swollen and shiny.
If you touch it with your hand, you will feel that the surrounding skin is warm as if it were burned.
He couldn't figure out what was going on. "The injury on his leg looks healed? Why is it still red, swollen and black?"
Yan Yu saw that there was nothing he could do about it. He suddenly thought of something and wanted to confirm it.
He said to Old Amu who was waiting aside: "Go and bring the woman named Mu Ya."
The old woman looked at him in confusion, "Yan Yu, I have never seen a woman named Mu Ya."
Yu Amu pointed to the strong man standing next to her, "Yan Yu, I have asked Daniel to send her to Shishan."
Daniel took a step forward, bowed his head and said, "Yan Yu, that woman asked me to tell you that you and Chong will regret it if you and Chong treat her like this."
Yan Yu thought to himself: It turns out that woman knew at that time that Chong's injury could only be cured by that stinky girl, but she deliberately didn't tell her.
Yu Amu said angrily: "You are such a ungrateful girl. If you had known about it, you would have ignored her. Yan Yu, what are you doing with her?"
Yan Yu said solemnly: "I want to ask her, who healed the injured people in the Yaoshan tribe, and why did they call the daughter of Yaohu leader Qingwu?"
"Qing Wu?" Da Wu and Da Ma looked at Yan Yu in surprise, "Why don't we know when there were witches in the Yaoshan tribe?"
"Father, it was Yao Hu who took people to the Ning River to create a new tribe, and his daughter is their witch."
The great witch said angrily: "Can witches be worshiped casually? If they do this, the gods will punish them."
Yan Yu thought for a moment and said: "Father, great witch, she may really be blessed by the gods. I went to the Yaoshan tribe this time and saw them using stones... I secretly jumped off the wall at night..., Yao
The tiger leader said that his daughter..., I made an agreement with the tiger leader Yao, and if the house and the wall have not collapsed in two winters, we will replace the wall with him."
The great witch was thoughtful after hearing this, and Da Ma shook his head without hesitation, "I don't like houses made of stones. I like to live in caves."
"If you don't like it, we won't do it." Yan Yu looked at the two of them, "Father, great shaman, I want to send Chong to the Yaoshan tribe and let their green shaman see if they can bring Chong back from the gods?
"
"I think you can try it!" Da Ma turned to look at Da Wu, "Wu, what do you think?"
Ah Man cried and rushed to the great witch, begging: "Father, can you let Yan Yu send my brother to the Yaoshan tribe for a try?"
"Let me think about it!"
The great witch's heart was in a mess. He wanted to send Chong to the Yaoshan tribe for treatment, but he was afraid that if others knew about it, his prestige would be ruined. If he didn't send him to try, his only son would have to serve the gods.
He didn't know what to do either.
Yu Amu glanced at the troubled witch and thought: If it is sent to the Yaoshan tribe and other tribes know about it, will they still believe in the witch's magic medicine?
"Chong has never even eaten food. Can he survive the Yaoshan tribe?"
The great witch looked at the dying Chong, and the flesh-and-blood affection between father and son took over.
He said to Yan Yu: "Yan Yu, you send Chong to Yaoshan, bring a few more people with you, and take turns carrying him there on bamboo rafts."
Yan Yu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, "I'll gather the people and set off immediately."
The great witch sent someone to bring a bamboo raft, and he lifted the mat on the bamboo raft and tied it with a rope.
Yan Yu came with eight or nine warriors, and four warriors stepped forward to lift the bamboo raft.
Yan Yu bowed his head and saluted: "Father, great witch, I'm leaving."
Da Ma glanced at the reluctant witch, nodded and said, "Go! The gods will protect Chong!"
The group of people carried Chong and flew away from the Great Witch Tribe.
